| FAN FICTION Immortal Encounter - Written By Tekwatch The night was cold and the fog was rolling in slowly as Jericho made his way through the Dark Forest. He sensed someone was following him, watching his every move. Every time he stopped and looked around, it was as if the night air was holding its breath. But as soon as he moved again, he got an ominous feeling. Just then Jericho heard a strange voice call out to him, "You have made a mistake by coming here." Jericho called back out to the voice without missing a step, "I''m not the one hiding in the shadows, you are." At that very moment an imposing dark figure stepped in front of Jericho. Hovering over him, Jericho felt its breath on him like a wild animal. The figure spoke in a low and raspy voice. "Tonight you will fight me and reveal your true self. I am Lazarus Malkoth." Jericho replied, "Is that supposed to mean something to me?" Just then Lazarus crouched down and gazed into Jericho''s eyes. With a stern look he punched him with so much force, Jericho was thrown to the ground many feet away. Blood dripped from Jericho''s lips as he wiped his face and gave a sneer to Lazarus. "Is that all you''ve got?" Jericho stood up, clenched his fists, threw back his cloak and drew his guns. Ready to fire, Jericho looked around but Lazarus had vanished, nowhere to be found. Suddenly Jericho felt a cold chill over his shoulder. He whipped around but not quickly enough. Lazarus grabbed hold of the guns just as Jericho unloaded two full clips into him. The bullets riddling his stomach, Lazarus laughed and ripped the guns from Jericho''s hands. As Jericho watched in amazement, the wound s healed before his eyes. "You cannot kill me with mortal weapons you fool. I am Immortal." Lazarus pulled out his sword. It was glowing a bright fiery red possessed by an unnatural force. "In order to kill me you will have to take my sword and cut off my head. If you can..." Jericho took a few steps back pondering what to do next . He reached into his leather pouch grabbing some gun powder. He mumbled under his breath "I got something for you Lazarus, just make your move. Nobody makes a fool of me and lives to talk about it ." Lazarus spun around and lunged toward Jericho gripping the sword as the red glow emitted from the blade. Just as Lazarus was striking down, Jericho moved to the side and threw the gun powder right into his eyes. Blinded, Lazarus dropped his sword and fell to the ground. He screamed out to Jericho "I can''t see. My eyes, what have you done to me?" Jericho grabbed the sword and jumped on top of him pinning him down. Lazarus was recovering and realized what was happening. Jericho smirked, "Who''s got the power now Lazarus? You''re not so tough without your sword, are you?" With an evil laugh, Lazarus looked straight into Jericho''s eyes, "Kill me and fulfill your prophecy." Jericho replied, "With pleasure." Without hesitation Jericho sliced through his throat. A green flash of light passed through them. Lazarus'' eyes closed and his head tumbled from his body. Lightning struck all around Jericho as Lazarus'' body rose into the air. The sword began to burn his hands. Jericho wanted to let go, but it would not let him. Jericho was being possessed by the sword and Lazarus'' soul. Minutes later the fog has let up and Jericho awoke to find Lazarus'' body gone. The sword left a star-shaped pattern burned onto his hands. "I feel different. I feel like I am more powerful than before. Why did Lazarus tell me how to kill him? It''s like he wanted this to happen." The sword was nowhere to be found. It all seemed like a bad dream. Jericho walked out of the forest and heard Lazarus'' voice once more "You have been chosen. In time you will know why." Jericho dusted himself off, placed his hat low on his forehead and smiled. Without warning, Jericho dropped to his knees and a burning sensation enveloped his body. As he arose from his knees, his left eye began to glow red and he felt an uncontrollable lust for blood coursing through his veins. Back to Fan Fiction |
