[u]DEAD AMONG THE LIVING Chapter 1-02 2: DEATH AND HOPE[/u]
| |
| 
It was in these moments, and these times that people were defined by what they did, where they did it, and how they’re doing it, and on Bondo III, all the survivors of the infected system was an ultimate survivor, worthy of the name: godlike.
| |
| 
Then there were those who gave up hope, and accepted infection, and they were the insignificant, eye-glowing freaks now known as “Screechers”.
| |
| 
“We may be alone on this bloody world,”
| |
| 
“but at least the Screechers aren’t runners.” Deeno stated as he fired a fiery laser blast right into the chest of an infected individual.
| |
| 
But the enemy are relentless and blood-thirsty and keep up their hungry pace.
| |
| 
Before Deeno can fire upon the Screechers, he hears shuffles and sounds of scratching and grumbling…
| |
| 
| |
| 
That noise being none other than two of Deeno’s kin.
| |
| 
“SSCCRREEEECCHH!!”
| |
| 
“You are no longer my brothers.” Deeno assured himself as he blasts the two to death!
| |
| 
But even in their demise, Deeno still felt emotions pass over him, as if he was killing his own.
| |
| 
But Deeno’s attention to his old brothers were short lived as he notices a possible danger looming over the two healthy survivor’s heads.
“This is not good.”
| |
| 
“Have at thee, foul beasts!” Spar Tan-Du cried out as he cut down the horned opponent…
| |
| 
…and the Mandalorian Screecher in one strike, their eyes releasing their glowing pupils as soon as they left life.
| |
| 
“Deeno, hast thou defeateth thy opponents?” Spar questioned, still on alert though with an evil grin.
| |
| 
“No sir, look up.” Deeno grumbled.
| |
| 
| |
| 
| |
| 
| |
| 
“We hast stepest into a trap!” Spar bellows in surprise.
| |
| 
The Screechers then prepare to leap from the towers and buildings surrounded by many other skyscrapers.
| |
| 
But the Screechers are also fragile…
| |
| 
…and the infection has weakened every bone in their bodies.
| |
| 
“I believeth that we are safe for now, they shall destroyeth theeselves.” Spar assumes.
| |
| 
| |
| 
| |
| 
| |
| 
In the end, all of the Screechers have fallen to their deaths.
| |
| 
And after the episode of death and destruction, the two are left awestruck.
| |
| 
“W-wow.” was all Deeno could manage to say.
| |
| 
“Thou hast speakest the truth.” Spar replies.
| |
| 
Suddenly, Spar snaps his attention to a nearby hut, feeling the presents of an noninfectious personal.
| |
| 
“Whoever you are…” Deeno assured,
| |
| 
“We will not harm you.”
| |
| 
“You two are of the Republic, are you not?” the woman asks, stepping from the shadows,
| |
| 
“Aye, we are.” Spar replied, “What is your name?”
| |
| 
“And are you alone?” Deeno added, taking a step forward anxiously.
| |
| 
“I am Hanily Eman…”
| |
| 
“… and I’m not alone anymore.” Hanily replied firmly.
| |
| 
“Do you carry any weapons, or do you know where we can find some?”
| |
| 
“I am weaponless, but I do know where we can find…a lot of good weapons.”
| |
| 
It is the end, it is the end from the perspective of the survivors, with no hope, and no dawn of life. They all wonder how this happened, and is it happening elsewhere. Confusion has swept all over the planet, and those who are overwhelmed by confusion and fear…
| |
| 
…are the first to go down it flames.
| |
| 
Jedi on Bondo are survivors among survivors, they are alone in the galaxy, and do not no yet, but in the end, life will receive it’s death toll for all.
| |
| 
The question is: who will be the first to receive the toll?
| |
