Description

the final chaoter befor i leave every one itall come to an end here

~~~


Sypher awoke again he noticed two guards stationed at the door he tried to move his body but found it useless because of the jacket

“Sypher” Vertago's voice called to him in his head

“Who is this” he said back

“Lets just put this long story short” Vertago's voice said “my soul has been transferred to your body along with the leader of the Luminatie”

“And how did that happen?” Sypher asked

“Their science experiment that’s how” Vertago said sarcsticly “that’s how they survived for so long”

“With Loyd's help” Sypher said

;Partly correct there are a few things you should know. Loyd was never who we thought he was”

“That’s the last thing he said to me before I got here” Sypher said

“Yes well he’s actually the ancient vampire Orlock Dracula’s rival 1000 years ago he allowed the Luminatie to escape leavening me under the impression that they had been defeated. This was his entire plan all along to have the Luminatie attack us and lure me out”

“You?”

“Yes me. Dracula”

Sypher stared at the door in silence not sure what to say the king of vampires was now part of him but now what would he do

“That’s probably a shocker to you” Vertago said “but we need to get out Orlock is still alive and we need to finish the fight”

“Does he know you’re here” Sypher asked

“I can’t be certain”

Vertago took over Sypher's body and telekinetically cut the chains holding him the two guards in the room took a step back not sure what to do. One of them raised a pistol at him Sypher looked at him and his arm was torn off he screamed in agony the other guard was shocked to scared to move. Sypher let the man regain his composer and then blew apart his head

_____
Meanwhile upstairs a man watched Sypher escape on the computer monitors he sat comfortably watching he had no intention of stopping him if anything he would help if needed

The last guard pulled his pistol out and began shooting the bullets stopped before hitting Sypher. The man ran out and ran for the alarm Sypher tor him in two and as the top half of the man fell he managed to set off the alarm Sypher tore off his straight suit and walked up to the enormous metal door containing him and began bending it he warped it so much that it was now a small ball shape he threw it behind him and walked out slowly solders began approaching him he had no problem ripping them to shreds. He came to the elevator it was guarded by three solders he opened the door to the room and tore off the first guards head with his bare hand and began drinking the blood from it as it poured into his mouth the remaining three stepped back

“Why can’t we do anything to him?” one of them asked they opened fire but again Vertago just stopped the bullets. He picked up the dead solders assault rifle and sent it flying into the middle solders chest killing him while the other two soldier looked at they’re dead friend Sypher loped of the one to the rights arm and then cut him in two the last one was about to reload when he sliced through his head using only the image blade he had used 1000 years ago.
He entered the elevator and climbed up as far as he could go when the doors opened several more guards were waiting he easily sliced them to bits sending them flying back down the hallway to the back wall painting the room red one guard was trying to crawl away Sypher walked up the stairs behind him and picked him up with his hand and tore him apart. He continued to wander through the maze of corridors killing brutally killing everyone he came across. He finally came to the last elevator the would lead him to ground level he took it and sat down on the floor he had to travel 50 stories so he had some time to think

Sypher took over again he looked at his clothing it was covered in blood

“Vertago what did you do?” he asked

“Your too soft” Vertago said “if I had let you try our escape we would have easily been captured so I took it apron myself to do it”

“A little brutal don’t you think?”

“It’s my style”

“Tell me Vertago where is Tillman?” Sypher asked

“His soul is around some ware remember we have many souls here its hard to find just one”

A sharp pain came into Sypher’s head he knelt over and held his head

“This has to be him”

“Your body is now mine” Tillman said

the three of them entered a mental realm and it was a Mexican stand off Vertago had a sword to Tillman’s head and Sypher had a pistol Tillman was aiming back with two pistols at their heads he was striped down to his combat cloths a vest full of pistols and clips a few grenades a black t-shirt and black pants

“I wasn’t expecting to see you here” Tillman said to Vertago

“When you’re me you find ways to live”

“Flake transferred your spirit to Sypher didn’t he?” Tillman asked

;Possible”

“Were never going to get any ware like this” Tillman said smiling

“Were not going to let you go any ware”

There was a ring of the elevator stopping, Sypher and Vertago looked at each other

“Ill go” Vertago said. He disappeared and left Tillman and Sypher

“I do have to say this has been a splendid war” Tillman said aiming his other gun “how about you drop your guns and we call it sealed?”

Sypher dropped his guns but before Tillman could fire he had ducked down grabbed his pistols and put them to Tillman’s head. Tillman smashed him in the side of the head with a pistol and ran for cover Sypher slightly dazed found cover as well

“This is where my last stand will be!” Tillman shouted form his cover

“Good” Sypher shouted back

they both jumped from there cover and fired at each other running along the battle field of Sypher’s mind finding cover each time they reloaded. Neither of them hit the other until they were at the last clip

“I’m surprised” Sypher shouted out to Tillman “I would have guessed you’d have more fight to you”

“I am only human after all” Tillman said back

“But this is nothing you never did anything to surprises me nothing to keep me on edge nothing gave you the upper hand anything”

“It’s like I said I’m only human I am frail weak and expendable we die so easily”

They both came from there covers and walked twords each other shooting they both hit with every shot but none were fatal

“Come on why you won’t die” Tillman shouted shooting

“Because I never thought about death” Sypher shouted back shooing

Around hit Tillman in the chest and he fell to the ground. Sypher stopped firing as Tillman propped himself against a destroyed wall

“Its pointless now all flesh is grass and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field for the grass withered and the flower fall away”

“Isaiah 40:3” Sypher said looking down on Tillman

“What a splendid war I can finally die. Just how I wanterd”

“You came into this fight knowing you would lose at the hand of a vampire?” Sypher questioned

“no being simply human” Tillman said “I was born in the lonely waterfalls I was weak and unblessed dead to the world but alive for the journey one night I dreamt a red rose withering I’m lonely soul drowning I dreamt my further but in it I saw the horrors of vampirism.. I was offered to become a vampire once I once thought wouldn’t it fantastic to become a vampire living for eternity fighting forever….that would be a life of pure bliss wouldn’t it? But that was the thing I couldn’t do something I would never, but I said immortality is an amazing thing and power is radiant paying the price in blood I would assimilate my soul my every being no! BE GONE MY HEART MY SOUL MY LIFE ALL OF IT IS MINE AND MINE ALONE!” Tillman took a breath from his yelling “;peoples lives and hearts become open with his essence that is the vampire that’s something truly wonderful but it’s also something that I would not enjoy I’m not joking what’s mine is mine my body my soul my blood I am me don’t you think it’s something to envy its dazzling and beautiful it is dear and there for I hate it and so I suppose I must call only humans a worthy opponent”

“You still disgust me” Sypher said pointing his gun at him

“Why so serious?” Tillman asked grinning

“You are a waste of flesh not even worth devowering you killed our kind and think we have no pride that we are nothing do you have any idea what we’ve lost to gain what we have”

“And what is it you do have what done you have to show for your life that you no longer have?” Tillman asked back

Sypher didn’t say anything

“Humans are delicate and frail we may be weak but were stronger than your kind we are more beautiful in our 50 years than you are in your 5000 years and most of all we are graced with something you can’t have… death”

“Death?”

“You may not understand only living 300 ears but go ask Dracula or Orlock and see how they feel about death they would probably tell you that is what they long for”

“You talk too much”

“where have all the feelings gone” Tillman asked “why is the deadliest sin to wish to be human I’m now unblessed and lost time soon to be freed from care and human pain my tail is one of the most bitter truth: time pays us in dust and earth and a dark silent grave”

“Honestly you’ve got to stop speaking in riddles”

‘I’m not” Tillman drew out his pistol reloaded and pointed at Sypher

Sypher aimed back “this is really how you want to go?”

“YES! NOW KILL ME!” Tillman shouted back

They both shot at each other at the same time Tillman hit Sypher in the left eye and Sypher hit him in the forehead
Tillman slumped over finally dead Sypher’s mental realm became clear and only Vertago was left in his mind

Meanwhile Vertago was still sitting in the elevator it stopped at ground level and bullets filled the room Vertago stopped them from hitting himself and sent them away. The doors opened and on the other side flake stood with around 30 guards

Vertago stood up and walked out of the elevator

“So Tillman was killed” flake said “how unforchenit”

“You did this to me you creep!” Vertago shouted “now undo it”

“I’m afraid that’s impossible”

A man stepped out of a room further down t him hallway behind flake “hey flake what’s going on?” he asked seeing all the guards

Flake spun around “Syzel get out of here RUN!”

Vertago looked at Syzel's arm and was sliced off his body at the elbow Syzel screamed holding his arm he stumbled back into the room he came flake ran after him as the guards opened fire Vertago walked forward as the bullets zipped by him a guard rushed forward but Vertago just cut him down another ran up Vertago shoved his hand through his chest and threw his heart out the back the guards were now completely terrified they stepped to the sides as Vertago walked by them

Flake ran into the room where Syzel was in and locked the door... the room was a surery rom there were papers covering the wall he looked around the blood soked room

“No it’s over it can’t be” flake said to himself “my final project isn’t finished”

“Syzel!” flake shouted

Syzel was in the corner rapping up his arm “what now” he shouted

“Have we gotten our specimen?” he asked

“Yes we have taken a child from the other side” Syzel said still treating his arm

“Good step one has been completed” flake walked over to Syzel and placed his hand on Syzel’s shoulder “I’m transferring all my work to you on this project”

“What” Syzel didn’t believe his ears “me but why?”

“Because I’m not going to live much longer I found out to late that one of my enhancements also corroded my body and now I only have a few days left”

Laughter could be heard behind a turned table Syzel walked over to see Orlock laying against the table covered in his own blood his right hand had been severed at the wrist

“You’re a waste” Orlock said “flake you never amounted to anything it’s disgusting every one of your creations is a frailer you’re a frailer and even I’m a frailer” flake just stared

“How did you get like this?” Syzel asked

“he out smarted me again and thanks to Mr. fuck'a flake over there he’s won I should have seen it coming first he lured me out into my core form then he used his crimson eye to heat up the atmosphere and while it rained he sucked in all the blood in the city leavening me with none now I can t go back in this form unless…”
He looked over to flake. Flake instantly what he wanted

“NO YOU CANT HAVE IT!” he shouted but he suddenly fell to his knees holding his chest with both hands as if he was trying to tear it open “no NOT NOW” he screamed he slumped over and began shaking violently

“A heart attack” Syzel said watching “there’s nothing we can do”

The doors opened and Sypher stepped through it wasn’t vertigo controlling him it was himself he saw Syzel and emedietly rushed in and grabbed him

“where’s tillmans airship?!” she said pinning him to the wall

“he wont tell you anything” orlock said standing up “it's out side the building fueled and ready to go”

“how do you know” sypher said dropping syzel

“because I took the liberty of doing so I eliminated all the threats you may encounter the ship is fueled ready to go just go to the control center and command the ship to go someware”

“why are you doing this?” sypher asked

“Becase I’ve lost theres nothing more I can do Dracula is smarter than I gave him credit for”

“and what will you do now?” sypher asked

“offer my slef to you because that was our agreement” he knelt donw on one knee in front of sypher

Sypher stared down at orlock “no” he said “im not vertago your deal was not with me”

“why not” Orlock asked “why wont you end my life?”

“I told you im not vertago”

“COME ON!” orlock shouted grabbing sypher coat “im begging you”

“whether you blame me or beg me it dosnt realy matter” sypher shook him off “why did you go so far to kill vertago?”

“we never saw eye to eye and one day we just started and the next time we saw each other we did it again and again and it just kept going like that until now”

Sypher headed for the door but befor he could leave orlock slugged him in the back of the head

“COME ON KILL ME EAT ME DRINK ME I DON’T CARE JUST PUT ME OUT OF MY MISSERY
!” orlock shouted flexing his remaining hand

Sypher spun around and uppercut him in the lower jaw so hard it broke some of his finger he fixed his bones and realized that his punch barley flinched Orlock

“Even with him in you that’s the best you can give me I’m even in a weak state”

Orlock gave him a power thrust to the chest sending him flying back into a wooden table it broke into pikes when he it

“it was him who said that power is the only constant in this world so let me give you a little tip if you want to kill me you’ll have to come at me as if you were to kill me”

Sypher got up ran at Orlock and swung several punches Orlock avoided them grabbed Sypher by the shirt and picked him up Sypher stabbed his hand through Orlock's chest and he was dropped

Orlock laughed “good I’d have it no other way

Orlock rushed forward and kicked Sypher jumped back avoided several punches and then swung his own Orlock blocked and punched Sypher in the chest he stumbled back picking up a wooden table leg he spun around as Orlock threw another punch avoided the punch and stabbed the wooden stake straight into Orlock heart. Orlock fell to his knees

“Nice shot” he said coughing up blood”

His body crumbled to pieces and turned to ash as it hit the floor

Sypher now drew his attention to Syzel who was cowering in the corner they locked eyes and he hypnotized him

“Where is the child” Sypher asked

“The century child I do not know”

“What is its real name?”

“The Childs name is dara-getu”

“Where did you take him from?”

“A different world from ours a city called trovock a family of 4 mother father both dead brother alive”

“Brother and sister where can I get them?”

“Brothers name Dessan”

“How did you get him here?”

“We used the gate of tomorrow”

Sypher walked over to Syzel “you will forget everything you have done” he said picking him up “lastly where is the gate of tomorrow?”

“Midgar”

Sypher dropped Syzel and walked words the door. The door opened and on the other side was a man dressed black stealth gear. Sypher jumped back ready to attack but the man put his hands up waving

“No no I’m not here to fight you “he said

He pulled his mask off to reveal it was Wesker

“Wesker?” Sypher said surprised “what are you doing here?”

“I’m the one that let you out” Wesker said

“Bullshit I let myself out”

“Well I opened the doors now come on the ship is ready”

The two of them ran to the ship Sypher filled Wesker in on everything that had happened cense there last meeting. They borded the ship and headed towards Midgar.

Sypher sat in the command chair of the ship the one that Tillman had once sat in and thought

what has everything come to in all this darkness in one night the name vampire has been almost completely erased from this planet there are only a few pure blood vampires left in this world the rest were just former humans like himself but in his entire walk in darkness what had he gained what had he lost? Fio had left him and he would probably never see her again she sees him as a monster maloboshia escaped to who knows war and the luminiati's work continues not as vampirism projects but in chimeras now. Should this be his next objective destroy the Kurutski Corporation. He had several option as he thought more go retrieve this Childs brother and bring him back help him retrieve his brother and at the same time taking out krutsiki what was the successor of the Luminatie. He could completely ignore everything that has happen and go on his own path and live a life of solitude but…

Sypher looked up at Wesker who was fiddling around with the controls of the ship trying to get an idea of the ships makeup

that’s it his mind was set he would go retrieve the Childs brother Dessan and bring him here but how would he find him in a separate world from his own if he stepped through the gate who knows what could happen to him


“Vertago “Sypher thought to himself

“What” Vertago said back?

“Can you communicate through the mind?”

“Yes why”

“I need to get a hold of this Dessan and get him here teach me”

They reached Midgar and found that the gate of tomorrow had been sealed in a church. This would be hard for Sypher do he had a hard time stepping into churches.
He walked in and saw the gate it had what looked like a skeleton cut in half holding the door one half was on the right the other on the left chains held the door closed and chains held it to the ground when he stepped up to it the skeleton moved its arms and began forcing open the gate the other side was filled with eyes and arms they reached out and grabbed a hold of Sypher

“Take me to Dessan!” he shouted

The arms pulled him in and everything went black.

In this blackness Sypher searched for Dessan using the abilities Vertago transferred to him finding him was like looking for a white light in darkness but this world had many entities it was impossible to lock onto just his Sypher searched for some time went eventfully found him he unconscious and in a dream state. Sypher read Dessan mind and saw his past he had been chosen to wield a sword called soul caliber but yet he was also possessed by an evil an evil that even scared Sypher for a moment Dessan had been through hell in order to defeat the evil that had just possessed him he fought his possessed friend he had been possessed just like himself but as he won the evil transferred to him and now his friend was dead and the evil was beginning to eat away at his mind

dessans mind was in chaos but he found something to give him form a dead body in dessans mind.
The body floted up and hovered infron of dessan in his mind

“who are you ?” dessan asked

“who I am is none of your concern but what I have to offer to you is” sypher said “I have seen the hell you have lived and I offer my acistence butin this state I am weak but come fine me and I will rid this hell”

“whare are you?” dessan asked

“im am not of your world I am in a difrent dimention you could say come fine me and I will help you” sypher left and the boddy droped to the floor

“how am I sapose to do that” dessan asked himself


Sypher practicly crawled back out of the gate he had never reached the other side or so it seamed he didn’t want to know he just wanted to get out this darkness was to much for even him. He fought his way past the arms and saw a colom of light he jumped twords it and fell onto the floor of the church the doors of the gate closed and it vanished sypehr looked back

“I hope that dosnt stop him” sypher said to himself

Syper walked out of the old run down church and went to the airship

“I sapose I should make my self at home” he said to wesker as he wached the moniter on the airship looking for a place whare he could put the airship and at least live

“how about there?” wesker said pointing to a forest

“that should be fine” sypher said “where will you go?”

“me im a mercenary sypher I go whare there is a gun that is needed but first I must refor the geese”

“do you want to be dropped off?”

“sure drop me off at edge”

Sypher dropped wesker off and returned to the forest to begin construction on hideing the ship for a while he hover above the forest just planning when finaly vertago interupeted him

“Why did you not mechion his brother… better yet why did you even bother to help him? Or why didn’t you kill that scientist” he asked

“that’s a good question” Sypher said “maybe being with fio rubbed off on me maybe I respect mortals a little more after everything that has happened maybe it’s to finish this fight and clean up this mess of yours or maybe it was just a whimsy but I know one thing”

“What’s that?”

“Life’s to short”

The massacre at the beginning felt pointless. But other then that I do enjoy the rest of it. I kinda like the way you're kinda weaving these together.
