Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: The Last Day Of Rome

Alex was hit in the head by the blunt end of an axe. Alex wakes up after an unknown amount of time later and realizes he is tied to a chair. He looks around and all he sees is black and hears screaming of pain around him. Then when he starts moving, his blind fold is removed and he sees the face of the 7 ft fan with a smile. "Ahh, look who is awake now. Now we can begin the reunion..."

Alex tries to speak, but notices that there is a piece of cloth in his mouth that prevents him from speaking. "mmhmmh mhmhu." Alex tries to speak through the cloth but it doesnt work and only makes the man laugh. "Hahaha. The "special and talented" commander caught in such an obvious trap." Alex then notices freaking out will not help his situation; he calms down and starts to plan his next move. But before he is able to begin he realizes he has seen this room before. It is the very same room he woke up in this morning. Alex starts to worry about his wife. The worry that is portrayed on his face doesn't go unnoticed by the big man, who has yet to have given his name. " Now that you know where you are i guess introductions are in order. My name is Mustaban The Large. This name was given to me by #&@-$+@+." Alex is listening to Mustabans introduction, but wasn't able to remember or hear his bosses name. " Well now that you are fully conscious let me explain to you my master plan here... psych." Mustaban then grabs his axe and swipes at Alex's head. Alex moves to the side and doges the axe, but the axe made contact with his arm and cut his arm clean off. Alex was shocked that his arm came off so easily. Alex then fell to the side with his chair as Mustaban starts to laugh. " Hahaha. I knew you wouldn't die so fast. HE has a plan for you." Alex hates being out of a plan. All of a sudden he feels something is going wrong. Mustaban also notices this feeling. At the same time they look towards the door and all of a sudden it all goes gray. Alex notices that Mustaban isnt moving and everything has frozen. Then he hears a voice. "Do yOu WAnT PoWEr." Alex is unsure of what is happening he has never seen or heard pf anything like this before. "Do yoU wanT the POwER to kiLl GOds and DEmoNS." The voice then changes to that of a female. "Alex. You weren't able to same me why don't you avenge me. ITS ALL THEIR FAULT!!" Alex then is jerked toward the window and what he sees would cause any man or woman to scream death. He sees huge figures standing in the distance and the entire city of Rome is burning to the ground as the figures are laughing and "enjoying" themselves. They are the size of mountains and they each are taking turns destroying and burning down his city. There is a total of 12 large figures; Seven that resemble men and five that resemble that of women. They each have their own set if armor that could be equivalent to the Roman God's. Alex then starts to lose reason and he begins to doubt what is real and what isnt. "Do YOU WANT THE POWER!!" Alex then looks behind him and sees his wife, but it was the dead version of his wife. He wants his suffering to end, the wound from his arm is blocking his reasoning and he starting to accept his fate. While all the chaos is going on he rememebers his wife's face and wishes to get revenge. Since he still has the gag in his mouth he isn't able to ask questions. Alexi knows the only person. no thing. that can help him is this creature in front of him.He nods. The creature that has taken the form of his wife begins to smile and shows the void that is her mouth. Her eyes change and when Alex makes eye contact he believes he sees all the stars in her eyes. She then dives into his chest.

BAM!!
