A Walk Down Memory Lane
Act 1: Mercy City Ransom
Finale Part 2: The Eyes
The four came rising out of the ground and began heading back to the safe house Candice put Alice in, which was conveniently at the first safe house they ever went in.
"We should get out of here soon, the cores gonna destruct any second now" Young Sean said.
"Welcome to a world where the air I breath is mine..."
A low voice was coming from a alleyway near them.
"Theres another survivor here? I can't believe it" Sean started heading to the dark alleyway.
"Nothing to overwhelm me and nothing to cloud my mind..."
"This song sounds pretty familiar..." Sean said, looking down the alleyway. In it he saw a person wearing a big raincoat and a purple tosslecap.
"Be anyone, do anything I'd ever want to try. Time doesn't exist here" The man keet singing, looking over a trash can lit on fire.
"Hey, sir!" Sean ran towards him.
"My own little world..."
The stranger looked at Sean. Sean stopped immediately in his tracks, his hands curling into a fist and his teeth grinding.
The mans eyes, he could tell who this person was on first glance.
The eyes of the person were completely red, nothing in them but pure red. They glared at Sean with a sense of pure hate and annoyance.
"NEGA!" Sean ran forward, grabbing his axe out from his back.
"Huh?" The man named Nega turned to him.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Sean swung his axe, aimed right at his neck.
"NO NO NO NO NO!"
Nega's head came flying clean off, landing near the headless body now lying on the ground.
"I knew you were behind this the whole time... I knew you weren't dead for good..." Sean looked at the corpse, beginning to walk back to his friends.
"Hey, asshole!"
Sean turned around quickly, jumping at Negas disembodied head was floating right in his face, staying in the air with a thin jet of green blood spewing from its severed neck.
"Since when did you have this power?"
"Ever since you killed me. Now, can you do me a favor and throw those boxes into the can over there? You like to burn things, don't you?"
Sean just noticed the many boxes of pictures lying near them.
"Uh..." Sean couldn't believe at what was happening right now, and couldn't find the words to talk.
"Ugh, useless as always! I'll do it myself!" The arms from Nega's body detached themselves and floated to the boxes, picking up the first one. Sean was even more dumbstruck then before at what was happening in front of him. A picture flew out of the box, landing into Sean's hand.
"HEY!" He looked at the photo. "THIS IS A PHOTO OF MY GIRLFRIENDS BOSOMS!"
"Yeah, so? I'm burning all this stupid perverted crap." The arms dumped the photos into the burning barrel.
"Uh... Why? I thought you loved this stuff" Sean asked.
"I'm tired of this crap, its stupid, takes up space, and useless. And why haven't I gotten my body back?"
A new body suddenly began forming out of Nega's neck, replacing the old one melting into a purple liquid behind him.
"Ah, much easier!" He threw another box into the barrel.
"So... Is this really you Nega?" Sean questioned.
"Yes, its really me jerk ass" Nega glared at the pyro, showing off the stitches covering most of his face as he did.
"Then why aren't you attacking me? You absolutely hate me!" Sean yelled at the shadow clone. Nega sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose in annoyance.
"Because I don't want to be the bad guy anymore... I'm tired of it"
Sean held his shotgun to his chin.
"HA! Your lying! You want me to fall for your ploy so you can kill me!"
"NO!"
Nega punched Sean off him, a shadow bug crawling from under his tossle cap.
"I hate being a villain! I hate it with a passion!" Nega said, grabbing the bug that crawled from his hat, and he ate it
"I'm tired of being ridiculed! I'm tired of being attacked by people just because I'm a villain! Do you know how hard it is to get out of the bed every morning, knowing that your gonna be attacked or killed by someone just for who your labeled as? You don't, obviously, since your mister 'I'M THE HERO! I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WIFE AND KIDS AND I KILL THE EVIL VILLAIN!'. You don't get my hate, you don't get the treatment I get for being the so called villain. It's not even fun being the bad guy! Yeah sure, theres some cool people like SK, Bowser, and the Ninja Squad, but most of the people called 'villains' usually don't care about your feelings, or your ideas and thoughts. They just care about defeating their rivals. Well, I'm tired of it! I gave up on trying to kill you a long time ago! Now, if you'll put down your weapon, I'll explain to you how I'm still alive and who's sent you to this place and why"
Sean put away his shotgun, looking at Nega with a small frown.
"Alright, talk then. How did your death.
"After everyone in the town had a celebration over the defeat of the subspace army and me, Natalia found the pieces of me that you left behind. She brought me back to my house, putting my bits back together and nursing me back to health. Once I finally reached the peak of my health such as now, I thought over my life, from my creation to my short lived death. It was right there that I decided, why not just quit with this pointless plan of killing you. And that's how I got to where I am today" Nega began explaining.
"Ok, then who is this person who's done this to me?"
"That, would be Dark Sean"
"Wow, real original name he has. Where did this 'Dark Sean' come from?"
"Well, he was one of my early experiments. He was going to be a spy, being able to look like you and mess with your life. But... When I tried to send him out some years ago... He ran off, destroying my old laboratory and taking my favorite purple cloak as well. He's sent you here because he has a mind set much like me. Except, he hasn't decided to quit like I did. He planned on sending you here to kill you, both in the past and present"
"Alright then, thanks for the info."
Sean pulled out his flamethrower, aiming it at Nega.
"But I'm still going to kill you for what you did to my face"
"Really? Your going to kill me? After I saved your hide on more then one occasion here?" Nega Sean rolled his eyes.
"What are you talking about? I haven't seen you once in this city"
"Who do you think broke Alice and Angelica out of their mind control? And stopped that man named Shiven and the ZX? And gave you a rocket launcher?"
"THAT WAS YOU?!" Sean shouted.
"Yes, it was me dumb ass"
"Yo, older me!" Young Sean came running down the alley, followed by everyone else.
"Woah! Who's this creep?" Young Sean pointed to Nega Sean.
"Wow, your even more annoying up close" Nega gave a smirk.
"Who are you calling annoying?"
"Yo- AGH!" Angelica grabbed Nega by the neck, slamming him into the alley wall.
"What are YOU doing here!?" Angelcia began to raise her fist, enclosed in a black fireball.
"Hold your fire! Hold your fire!" Sean grabbed her wrist, yanking her arm away.
"He helped us out here, he broke you out of your mind control" Angelica looked back at him.
"Is this true?"
"YES, YES! PLEASE LET GO OF ME!"
Nega breathed in relief once she did.
"Oh, Alice. It seems like your armors been pierced" Nega pointed to the small holes stabbed right through her armor.
"Its fine, its barely a scratch, Nega" She gave a weak smile.
"So, do you know how to get out of this city, freak?" Young Sean looked at Nega.
"Oh, and Sean. This is one thing you did to my face besides these scars" Nega grabbed the sides of his face, giving a evil smile to Young Sean. Nega began to pull at the skin of his face, peeling his skin like a orange. Young Sean screamed in pure fright at Negas purple skull leaned in close to him
"Want to keep calling me a freak? Huh, you little shit?" Green blood began to pour out of the laughing skulls sockets and mouth.
"NO NO! I'M SORRY! PLEASE! STOP!" Nega put the skin back to the way it was before, wiping some blood of his jacket.
"Now, I don't suppose any of you remember that this cities going to explode any second now, but don't worry, since Sean repeated a important moment in his history, the door out of this world should appear any second now." A large, red door appeared in front of them all, opening up to reveal the white void they first arrived in.
"Alright! Awesome!" Candice jumped through first, followed by a silently crying Young Sean, Angelica, Sean, Alice, and finally Nega closing the door, right at the last second before the city blew up in a mushroom cloud.
Back in the void...
"Well... What now?" Sean asked everyone.
"Perhaps we should look around for a little bit"
Candice yanked at Angelica's arm, pointing behind the two. She turned around also, looking at what she was pointing to.
"Wait? Is that-"
Angelica and Candice were looking at the statue next to the small city, shimmering as it began to turn into a person. The man had slick brown hair, green eyes, and wore a fancy shite lab coat and a dirty striped tie.
"DAD!" Candice ran up and hugged their father, Jonathan.
"Hello..." Angelica glared at him.
"Look, Angelica. I'm so sorry for what I've done to you... I went mad, I couldn't control my mind, it just went nuts and did these nasty things to you, Candice, and your mother. Please, give your father a second chance at being your parent."
"... Ok then, Daddy" Angelica joined her sisters group hug, finally forgiving her fathers mistakes.
"Now ain't that a nice heart warming site..." A man said from next to Young Sean.
"OH MY GOD! ITS THE EIGHT SURVIVORS!" Young Sean ran up to the eight Left 4 Dead heroes standing next to him.
"Wait a minute... Why is there two of match stick?" Francis asked, looking at the kid smiling up to him.
"I think it would be best to not ask that, since the answer would probably confuse you greatly vest monkey." Nick glared at the biker.
"Bite me, Colonel Sanders"
"And look, another worlds appearing over there!" Young Sean was pointing over them. A new world was beginning to appear.
This time it was two buildings, one red and one blue. And in the middle of the buildings was a bridge and a water filled moat below it.
"OH. MY. GOD!" Young Sean looked at the new building with happiness.
"Alright, Sean, little turd. Go into that new world. I'll catch up with you guys quickly to help you out" Nega pointed over to the buildings.
"Sounds like a plan, Nega." Sean walked over to the bouncing child version of him.
"Ready to go to this new world, young me?" Sean asked.
"I sure am! Lets go!"
The two ran off to the new world, ready to take down whatever challenges they were to face.
