Chereads / The 100: Sky King / Chapter 3 - I am king!

Chapter 3 - I am king!

"What are you doing?!" Jaha screamed and looked at Damon who was still pointing the pistol in the air where Diana had been standing a moment ago.

"I can't allow someone willing to kill the innocent people of the ark for their own greed to survive," Damon said

"The times for games are over! Every one of you is dead in the future along with everyone on the ark because you're weak!

Your minds can't handle the choices you will have to make in the future! The things you will have to do!

From now on I make the decisions! On the Ark and on the ground! From here on out, I am King!" 

Damon yelled at the shocked council members who were still trying to wrap their heads around a boy who could actually see the future.

He had said insane things, but he had also said things that had already happened, things that weren't known to anyone but themselves.

"What about the ground? If it's survivable we should all be fine right?" Abby said with a shaky voice while trying to ignore Diana's dead body which was leaking blood all over the floor.

"Just because the radiation won't kill us doesn't mean the grounders won't," Damon said

"Who? Are you saying there are others on the ground?" Jaha asked while looking at Marcus who seemed to have sobered up a little.

"Well talk about all of this in due time, Thelonious." Damon smiled kindly which would have made them all believe he was just a kind young man if he hadn't just put a bullet in someone's head without batting an eye.

"Let us talk in the council chambers. We have a lot to discuss." Damon said before looking at Thing 1.

"Would you kindly clean this up, buddy?" Damon asked

"Yes sir." A droid's voice sounded out.

"Thanks."

Damon said before walking past the others and toward the council chambers with Thing 2 following close behind.

The others all looked at each other before following Damon with all kinds of questions filling their brains.

This entire event had shocked all of them to their core.

------------------------------------

Damon looked all around the council chambers before looking over at Thing 2 who was carrying an AKM loaded with air burst rounds from the movie Elysium from his previous life.

Damon had actually died in his last life and was given another chance by a mysterious being who had allowed him a few wishes.

Damon didn't have a choice to the world he was put in and Damon was okay with the world of the 100.

Looking at the other people who were staring at him with curiosity and shock Damon was having a bit of a hard time realizing everything was real but killing Diana had made him realize the reality of it all.

Killing Diana wasn't as easy for him as he made it seem to the others. Despite training within the cryo pod for a hundred years, killing people in a simulated space and killing people in real life felt very different. 

"So, let's start this off with a few quick facts." Damon said calmly while looking at the others.

"The ark is dying, and oxygen is lowering by the day. We are sending 100 kids to the ground to see if the earth is survivable and to buy us another month of oxygen in the case that it isn't. Am I correct so far." 

Damon asked while calmly assessing the others who still hadn't wrapped their head around the whole seeing the future thing, and he didn't blame them.

The problem was that he couldn't actually see the future. He only saw a future, one that was constantly changing. He needed to be prepared for the chaos to come.

"We are training 99 to go to the ground including Clarke who is in lockup, not 100." Jaha corrected

"Ah yes. I had included Well's to my calculations despite him not being locked up yet." Damon said realizing his blunder, making Jaha frown at his words.

"So, you had said that there were people already on the ground is that true?" Abby asked.

"Yes. Unfortunately, the ground is very dangerous and the people on the ground have a barbaric way of living, one we will have to adapt to."

"So, the grounders are hostile?" Marcus asked to confirm.

"Indeed, and some more than others. But we might be able to make a deal with one of the clans on the ground allowing us to live within their territory without any conflict." Damon said before waving his hand.

"But none of this matters at the moment. We will still send the 102 children down to the ground and me along with them." Damon said

"Why would do that if we know the ground is survivable? We need to send our guards down first along with everyone else." Marcus said.

"Because me and the others will have a better shot at making a deal then a bunch of trigger-happy guards and if we send to many down at the same time, they will see it as war.

But also, because if you tried to send an exodus ship down to the ground you would all die on landing."

'And the guards are too weak.' Damon thought but didn't say anything. 

"I thought you said it was 100. Not 102." Abby said

"We are adding Bellamy Blake and Raven Reyes to the dropship as well." Damon said

"Why them? Who are they?" Abby asked confused.

"They are important to the future of our people." Damon said before looking at Marcus.
