Chapter 20
" Oh HAHAHA I almost forgot about that guy " the joker said while laughing then he looked around to see the other guy was not getting the joke he made " well well don't be mad Guys I'm just kidding of course I was going to say something about that dude"
" What is wrong with that guy and why he's tied up like tha_ " kayne asked then tried to get up from his chair to check the guy from close distance but joker stopped him before he went near him
" I don't think it's a good idea to get close to that guy " Lyppe said with a lazy tone while waving his hands
" Before you ask let me show you " SoFi caught one of the golden leafs that were Hanging from his throne and threw it toward the guy only for kayne to be surprised by the black long sword that was in the guy's hand to cut the leaf to tinny pieces
" !!! " Kayne couldn't help but be shocked by the movement of the sword " who the hell is this guy "
" Well the story of this guy starts with the start of my story " joker said while he was heading toward his throne and took a seat "when I was formed for the first time I was totally shocked and going through a trauma from what happened to us let it be in your mind that I was formed when we were 5 years old I was running in the dark sweating from what was looking at me from the dark I kept running and running I saw something strange and familiar a spot that was darkest than the dark it self but it felt warm for some reason so I headed toward it only to see this guy " joker was making a sad face showing his misery back then but his expression just changed to be a big smile " but HAHAHA I didn't expect that when I first reach this place everything changed I start remembering and I saw my dear bloody throne " joker said while He runs his hand over the handle of the throne gently and softly
" Was This guy here FROM the start ? " Kayne asked with a curious face
" Let me continue talking kayne boy " joker waved with his hand to kayne to let him. Continue " When i reached this place and took a seat at my throne a window appeared Infront of me saying that I became one of the Foundation Stones and when the window disappeared this guy's throne showed up from nowhere Infront of me his throne and his suit his mask and even the chains were here and at their current condition but the sword in his hands wasn't here " joker said while pointing at long beautiful sword in the guy's hand
" What about you guys , how did you end up like this" kayne asked while looking at the other guys
" Same as him " Eros said
" Me too " Lyppe answered slowly
" Well yeah me too , but we can't tell him the truth and not tell him the real reason " SoFi fixed his glasses and then said
" HAHAHA Yeah yeah I didn't forget about that , I'm not as old as you think about me " joker stood and stretched up his back then his neck like kayne always does and then he walked toward the middle of the circle and sat in the floor facing kayne " well after we all gathered here the fourth of us to should I count him with us and be five" joker said while pointing at the guy in black suit that was behind him and looked at the other guys
" Stop cutting your fuck sentence and stop changing the fucking subject you started making me regret giving you the choice to talk " Eros just shouted in rage
" Stop acting like an old bitch and don't scream it's rude Infront our guest
Kayne couldn't help but to look at the guys in front of him and think ' was my honest desire to leave my daily boring routine and my uncomfortable world a bad choice "
" Yeah it was " all the Guys answered kayne at one time and then both Eros and joker kept arguing
" joker can you please continue telling him the story " SoFi stopped the fight between them with a nice and kind tone
" I'll stop just because of you SoFi " joker said then he fixed his hair and his suit then turned back to kayne
" Hmph whatever just finish this shit already" Eros said while showing his teeth
" Well yeah as I said when we all gathered here all of us took a seat at our thrones a big black widow appeared I still remember it as it was yesterday it said :
FOUNDATION STONES you have the mission of saving the USER from the Corrosion of consciousness and protect his Existence from fading
" Protect My existence from fading? What does that even mean ? " Kayne asked while making a curious face while shaking his head
" Well When I analyzed the situation and tied the threads together I noticed that it wasn't all a coincidence " SoFi said while fixing his glasses, making not only Kayne but all the guys curious " so we all gathered here when you kayne started to grow up joker at 5 Lyppe at 9 me at 12 and Eros at 14 but when you _$#@$_#&$_# " suddenly cutting SoFi a glitch made him speechless or the other wasn't able to hear him
" I knew this was going to happen " Lyppe gasped and leaned back on his throne
" Tsk Damn it " Eros slapped his leg while cursing
" As you see kayne we're not able to talk about what happened to you now so it's me who didn't want to answer your question from before it's simply all of us are forced to not talk about " joker said to kayne making him see an imaginary picture of them as Dolls who was being controlled by someone else and then joker said " now SoFi can you please continue talking I'm also curious about you conclusion"
" Well yeah as I said after the accident we couldn't remember anything about what we used to do or what we have done before but when the light in the bathroom hit us or hit kayne memories came back to us but kayne didn't regain his memories like us " SoFi said while he moves his hands nonstop trying to explain with them then Then he inhaled and Continued talking " but for some reason after Kayne saw the program we felt the familiarity but he didn't and when he first killed the wind wolves puppies the black window appeared to us telling us to protect him " SoFi said while his forehead started to sweat
" And then I was able to show him my memories after he saw the dead kids in the cursed forest it's like " joker said with serious expression then he stopped talking
" Preparation for the trauma" kayne said while covering his moth with sweat dropping from his forehead "when I saw the glimpse of memories when I killed the frog I felt a warm feeling toward the children situation what didn't cause me any mental damage " kayne said while looking at the guys
" So In the first place our job is preparing you for the trauma by making you remember our cursed memories that strengthen your brain and emotion " Lyppe said while leaning on his throne covering his mouth
" So this is what the window meant by protecting you , the program is trying to kill our humanity and our mentality by making you get used to things that contradict logic and totally sick " Eros said while crossing his legs and scratching his Chin
" But what I noticed was the window that appears in front of kayne and the one that appeared in front of us are completely different windows not just the shape but also aura and the reason for their. existence"
SoFi Start talking and He clicks on the handle of his throne " one is trying to require us for some reason and the other is protecting us from the reason the other window program is trying to require us for "
" So we're Pawns In a war between two great powers " kayne said while looking down then raised his head to look at the guy in black suit Infront of him " but why should it be me ? Trying to find the answers headed me to more questions" kayne stood up and looked at his chair then the guy's in black suit throne
" Stop thinking too much my head hurts from all these questions" Eros shouted while he was grabbing his hair and shaking his head
" Sorry about that I'm jus so curious about what is happening all the time I hate feeling like I'm just Addition to the table this why I need to be stronger both mentally and physically and then Maybe I'll be able to take the trauma of what actually happened to me back then " kayne gasped and then seated on his chair " anyway what is happening right now I imagine hearing too much sounds "
" I think this is a sign that our time has end this place is not Connected to reality this place is the deepest black on our brain so it can't be effected by any External factors " SoFi fixed his glasses and said
" Oh !!oh !! I almost forgot to ask you that " joker shouted then clapped with his hands in excitement " Kayne boy I answered all your questions and introduced you to these stupid boring rabbits so can you please give a reward" joker jumped toward kayne and grabbed both Kayne's hands and started begging him
" You're right and wrong SoFi was the one who answered almost all of my questions and you just introduced me to the other me " kayne back forward and said " but Even though , I don't have anything to reward you with "
" Well it's gonna sound awkward but I don't mean anything strange with it " joker trying to act innocent making all the other guys feel even more awkward " Please lend me your body " joker kneeled on the ground at his knees while begging kayne
" What the actual fuck do you mean by that " kayne couldn't help but screamed in shock that one of his personalities are guy af
" Stop don't think about me that way I mean as we can lend out memories you can lend us your body to control it for a short time and I noticed there was a battle out there so I wanted to kill something " joker explained to kayne
" Even though he can control your body but you are still in charge of it so you can take it back whenever you want , it's a good experience I think you have to try it out " SoFi fixed his glasses while telling kayne what did joker meant
" What about you SoFi you don't want to try it out I'm giving it to you if you want " kayne turned out toward SoFi while stopping the joker from hugging his legs
" Well the battlefields aren't one of my Interests maybe I'll ask you that if you took me to a library " SoFi said while smiling and showing kayne his book
" Alright then Just kill a few and give me back my body" kayne gasped and Pushed joker
" Yappie let's gooo I didn't taste blood for too long I'm gonna kill someone thank you kayne thank you SoFi I owe you this one " joke happily Start jumping and doing back flips
" I think we made the wrong decision " kayne said while putting his hands above his head
" Yeah maybe we actually did " SoFi just let out a giggle while looking at joker
" You have to take responsibility for his actions boy and don't say we didn't warn you " Eros said after he took out a hand fan made of gold and black iron and covered his mouth with it
" Tsk Is all my personalities gay ? " Kayne said with a disappointed tone and clicking his tongue While putting both his hands On his waist
" I'm not gay it's a Noble fan both man and woman use it and only special category are able to get one this fancy " Eros shouted and denied what Kayne said/ thought about him
" Okay okay okay let us Start kayne I'm really excited HAHAHA " Joker said while bouncing on his place as an excited dog
" What should I do " kayne asked
" Well you actually don't have to do anything just take a seat on my throne " joker said while pointing at his throne excitedly
" So all I have to do is just seat her_" kayne didn't complete his sentence, at the moment he sat down he Lost his conscious
" What the ?? Where the hell am I ?? " Kayne found himself in a white room , there were no doors no windows just his chair and strong white lights above him and a little doll wearing clown's clothes was sitting in the middle of the room holding a black mask with red lines in it
" HAHAHA this is the waiting room kayne boy you gonna wait until I finish playing outside then we gonna change place so go ahead and wear the mask " joker voice filled the whole room and then telling kayne to wear the black mask and so kayne did
The moment kayne put the mask over his face the light changed from white to dark red the Walls were all covered in blood that was flowing from the ceiling and devilish laughs were causing to kayne deafness the floor start to be all covered in blood and when the laughing stopped and the blood stopped flowing the blood was already covering Kayne's feet but the only thing kayne was curious about was
" Joker I don't know what you mean by this show and what are the steps to control my body but I really believe that leaving me naked isn't something that has a hand in controlling my body " Kayne said with an angry voice with his face showing how pissed off he were
" HAHAHA sorry sorry I didn't think this gonna happen let me just " again joke's sound fill the room and the blood rate started to rise to reach Kayne's neck and when the blood start decreasing kayne found himself wearing white worn-out shirt and brown dirty pants " come on man I know what are you thinking about It's the only clothes I had "
" Fuck just finish this shit already "kayne shouted in anger
" Okay man enjoy the show " after joker said that Kayne went blind and started to see his body that was laying down covered in black liquid
Back to the camp
The mercenary group was having a tough time , two owls were killed but their number didn't seem to decrease Jamy was still struggling dodging Many attacks and trying to give a nice hit while Goos was injured Samuel's shield was in a terrible condition Ray was shooting fire randomly Even she knew the owls aren't effected by her fire and Jane was protecting kayne while trying to help her friends from while to a while
" Haa I don't think we can fight against them no more their number is huge and they're not looking tired as we do " Jamy let out a deep breath " Jane be ready to start running Samuel and Ray you guy have to help Goos and I I'll slow them down "Jamy said while defensing against a owl attack
" Okay " Jane said
" Okay " Samuel said
" Okay " Ray said
They couldn't help but to accept this plane cause according to their situation, running at this moment is not losing is just a try to live and fight another fight but in a different day
When Jane tried to raise Kayne and put him above her shoulder she felt some kind of heat from him but she didn't really care about that and raised him anyway
And at that moment kayne vomited but this Time it was normal vomite and then
" HAHAHA what are you planning to do you tricky girl holding me like that and touching me every where do you want to take advantage over someone who is unconscious " kayne or to be more specific joke woke up in Kayne's body only to find himself above some random girl's shoulder with her hand touching his butt
When Jane heard the guy's voice she suddenly Throwed him at the floor but with some Graceful movements , joker managed to stand at his hands and then he jumped and did a Flipp to stand at his feet straight
" Good evening ladies and gentlemen ! how are you ? fine !? thank you !! I'm the joker and I'm planning to have some nice time with y'all " joker saluted the guy's Infront him not taking only their attention but the owls too
" What the _?" Ray said after she looked at joker and felt something strange about him then she looked at Jamy to notice that he felt it too
' his Aura had completely changed from before it's like a different pers_ ' Jamy though while looking at Kayne's bloody Aura until his view gets cut off
" HAHAHA don't think about too much kiddo or else your head will hurt you or it's going to explode HAHAHA " joker appeared Infront of Jamy and covering Jamy's face with his hand then making a Hole between the fingers so he can see Jamy's eyes
The only thing Jamy felt and saw in joker's jet black eyes were a deadly hunger for killing and insane thirst for blood
Then joker simply passed him walking toward the lame owls leaving Jamy's legs shaking with a terrified face
" Well well can you guys look at these ugly birds I think they're going to look nice _ " joker kept walking to the owls and suddenly one of them just jumped toward him " when they're covered with blood! " Joker pulled a sword from nowhere a sword that had a Brass handle
" Wait that sword is_ " at that moment When Jamy turned to see the guy fight he noticed that his sword was gone
With one clean cut Joker Divide the owl that jumped toward him in half not letting Even the blood stay at the blade
" HAhAHAhA I missed this smell I missed so much " after killing the owl joker looked at the blood that was flowing from it body while hugging himself like some kind of perverts and then
Joker jumped toward the group of the owls cutting them one by one every cut was deadly the only thing you can hear at that time was the terrified owls screaming and all you can see is the blood of the owls gathering to make a beautiful red pool while the reflection of the bloody clown dancing on it
" HAHAHAHA Even though that was really funny and refreshing" joker was looking at his new sword and checking the blade sharpness and then he looked directly at the group of Young and terrified guys " even though that it wasn't actually enough !!! "
" What are you planning to do " Jane raised her sword while stepping back twice the looked at her friends who were either injured or exhausted " fuck "
" Well me as an average bloody clown I love to play the chase and as a predator I always like to start my HUNT with the weakest link"
When joker said that he looked at Goos thAt was laying on the ground and squeezing his arm but suddenly Samuel appeared in front of joker with his destroyed shield covering Goos " NO NO NO you're not supposed to play it like that I'm predator you're the prey you should sacrifice the weakest link so you can live for extra minutes " joker started shouting like crazy and his evil smile changed to a pissed expression while rubbing his hair and shaking his head left and right " Haaaa , it's okay relax they don't know how to play this game that's it I have to teach them the rules and how to play THAT'S IT " while trying to relax himself joker's devilish smile appeared again on his face and
When he saw Joker raising his own sword in his friend's face Jamy felt the time stopped or it was just in a slow motion with exhausted and terrified expressions in his face and started to have flashbacks,
" Yoo Samuel just in case you weren't a mercenary with us what would you prefer to be " Jamy said with a excited face
" I thought about it a lot since I was a kid I dreamed of being in the holy army but my holy power wasn't enough to even enter the hill of the test not mentioning the rest itself" Samuel said with a sad face looking like he remembered something he wanted to forget about it but when he saw the expressions on Jamy's face that can tell he knew that he fucked up he said with a big smile on his face " but I'm actually happy being with you and the other guys sometimes I hope I had stronger holy power so I can provide more help " When he heard that Jamy expression changed to a blushing face ( it's like he's gay or something, right ? )
Back to the current situation the blushing face turned into an exhausted and shocked face covered with some drops of blood
" NOOOOOO!!!! " Jamy couldn't help but to scream while stretching his hands toward his dear friend but alas screaming isn't enough to stop joker from cuttings through his Shattered armor and his shield reaching his neck and cutting it like butter with his own sword
" Hmmm !!?? You scared the shit out of me boy never scream like that you may kill someone by surprising him like that " after cutting Samuel neck from vein to vein he just turned to look where the screaming came from while putting the sword above his shoulder " well anyway that just annoyed me and just eliminated someone early I think I'm not going to kill at least FOR NOW and yeah " joker clapped with his hand trying to get the others attention and it actually worked with his face showing some disappointment and then glaring at Goos who was laying on the ground and couldn't realize what just happened to Samuel
" LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE GAME STARTS NOW ! HAHAHAHA"
