<Afterlife> Options

The train going through the tunnel moved faster than normal. All passengers had no idea of what had just taken place. Yet Gabriel watched them all from the front of the car. This car out of all others was to be picked for the Afterlife games. The reaper didn't know whether to be sorry for this group or to be excited about being able to run the games for once.

The train now moved through a dark tunnel. This meant Citadel City was near and that now would be his time to start the briefings. His materialization out of nowhere didn't seem to have an effect on the busy passengers at all. He took the appearance of a young boy in a black cloak with white hair and red eyes; the same albino appearance he had when he was alive. *ahem* The gray reaper cleared his throat.

"Good evening passengers." he spoke calmly. "I am Gabriel and I am here to welcome you all to Citadel City before we reach our stop."

"What on earth are you rambling on about?" yawned a young woman sitting in seat 8. "Is this the wrong train?"

"Like I don't even, like, know what this kid is talking about either." another young woman from seat seven spoke.

"That voice sounds familiar..." went the blind male from seat 10.

"You are all a part of the Afterlife games." said Gabriel.

You're forgetting something sir! Show them what's happened sir! came a bubbly voice from his thin black earpiece. Gabriel could always count on advice from his assistant. "It's much easier if I just show you all." Gabriel spoke switching on a monitor conveniently stationed on a wall of the train.

The monitor flashed to news footage. A few heads turned to watch. The broadcast was loud.

This is Tiffany Williams with a mind numbing news bulletin. Right now I'm standing in front of the station outside the city where the train crash that occurred earlier this day is still recovering victims of the tragedy. So far there has been no survivors from what I can tell. More victims recovered from this terrible incident have been discovered to be the bodies of Elanora Jameson, Fae Cantigre, Clarissa Montague, Matthew Jameson, Sachiko Hayashi, Marcus Giles, Thomas Marx, Joe Brody, Ms. Mavin Davis, Stella Marx, twins Allen and Thomas Rhodes, the beloved Fabian Gestalt, Tia Wang, Romeo Willis, Jackie Hayes, Damien Peers and a Ms. Rita Thompson.

Yet insiders say there are still a lot more to be recovered.

"Yo what the hell is this shit?" A scruffy young man in seat 11 shouted. "Is this some sort of joke?"

The monitor footage cut to weeping family members and friends. "So are we like, dead or something, like that?" the female in seat seven asked once more.

"Please stay calm everyone." Gabriel advised. "No one is dead yet. Your chance to gain your normal lives back lies here in Citadel City."

The train emerged from it's dark tunnel and onto tracks leading to an island of sorts. A large city could be seen with a tower in the center that sits high in the sky. The ominous environment seemed to be tinted with the color red. For those who knew no better, this city looked like a picture of an apocalyptic worn place.

"Now are there any questions before I head on to the next subject?" Gabriel asked politely.

"당신이 무슨 말을하는거야?" spoke a little Korean girl as the train got closer and closer the the wretched island.

Gabriel

It didn't seem like he had faded into nothingness. It felt as if his soul were still intact but he was floating somewhere. His consciousness drifted along until finally he'd felt his fingers twinge. The red sky seemed to be turning a dark crimson. His vision came back to him, focusing on the dirty sky above. Ah, yes, the time in Afterlife sped forward constantly. They would near the end of Day 2 now. It was rare for any game to make it past day 3.

He sat up and felt a twinge of pain. The gaping hole in his chest had left him completely useless for much longer than he'd intended. All of that time he was out, Amos could have told them his plot against The Almighty. He hoped Damien had become The Almighty by now, though he doubted it. He could barely remember the Damien he knew before their participation in the Afterlife games. They both participated in the Afterlife games, but it was back when he was human. Nowadays he couldn't even recall his actual human name anymore. Resorting to titles. He didn't like this system of The Afterlife Games at all.

Hopefully Damien had become Almighty by now, or at least soon, and put an end to these games. The sting of his wound felt cool. He could feel a slight breeze flow through the hole in his chest. It gave him a soothing relief, yet he knew that these games were not over-A new game hadn't been started and if so his wounds would have reset along with the games. Something was happening. He finally stood and floated weightlessly toward God's tower. he could see even from this distance that a hug gaping hole had been blown from the tower's top. Damien hadn't become Almighty just yet.


Romeo Willis

Good. Fae was beginning to think for herself for once. Ever since he'd met her she'd offered help to others without thought. She deserved this one bout of selfishness. And he didn't trust Sachiko. He threw rune after rune at the gigantic guardian. The most he could do was make it shutter a bit. It seemed to be made of stone- It was a terribly powerful Guardian.

"Hey! Oh, my. The Water is acidic! The water around the island." He heard Fae shout before dodging another stop of the giant's foot.

He gazed at the water surrounding the islands of Citadel city from his view in the sky. It was a murky navy blue color. Once he'd considered drinking it. Now he was glad he didn't. he set of another exploding rune around the creature's head. It staggered a bit but stayed the same otherwise. "How the hell does acid water help?!" he yelled down.

However Fae struck the beast in the legs, failing as the giant stabilized itself. "Trip him!"

It took him a full five minutes to figure out her plan. It seemed like dropping out of high school midway wasn't the brightest idea he'd had. "Genius!" his admiration of her seemed to grown each moment.

"Distract it!" Fae yelled. "We can trip the legs right Sachiko?"

"Whatever." he smirked. "You bi-er ladies just do whatever the hell you gotta do. And I'll just do what I gotta do."

With that he flew full force at the giant, attempting to strike it with his fist.


Nanicci

"Hey! I'm not a little girl to just be taken yaknow sirs! I've got years and years and years of wisdom in this noggin sirs!" Nanicci snapped at Johann's remark.

This was a tough situation for three reapers alone to take on. She realized she'd forgotten the most terrible thing Amos had done before even reaching her. "No-no-no! I object!" she'd stopped pulling them both. "We can't lose any more reapers! We just can't sirs!"

She there weren't many reapers alive last she checked. "We can't just split up without thinking it through completely. I forgot to tell you that he'd already killed The Almighty before he got to me. There's a new one now, but still...Amos is strong, stronger than both of you, maybe even stronger than me-but...One of you wouldn't be enough for him. I'll go find GabrieI...I vote both of you go. We can't let all of our friends die in vain."She thought of Vayne, Lily, Mara, Thora, and the rest who'd died mysteriously earlier on in the game. She thought about Amos' Prince's of Hell. "Reapers are a family who stick together sirs and we need to stick together now more than ever."

She generally disliked sappy speeches, but her three year old body seemed to tear up a bit anyway. "Either way we need to choose something fast."


Luci Ferno

Her angel phone was getting harder to read. Symbols were mixing, but Chad still cheered her one, convincing her to kill the other players and win the game. That was all he seemed to do. "Like, I said give 13 points." she repeated at her phone.

YEa% Ok#Ay baB*e. Th&E De%*Ed *iS d*#One.

She summoned her hell hounds once more. Their flames cracking beside her and commanded them to attack. The two hounds ran and leaped up toward The Almighty. In a twist a gush of wind blew them away once more and Luci was angered. "Again! Attack!" she commanded.

A force like that could definitely blow away any attack aimed at her. Luci wondered if Joe would have a chance to use his third ability.

The wolves regained their blaze and took off once more dodging the woman's blade, but upon biting her limbs, they were eviscerated with a bright white light. "Crap!"

Damien wailed in a bout of pain as his left hand went flying toward her. "Eeek!" she yelped dodging the limb. "This is like, so not worth it. I'm useless."

"I'll finish you." the skinny woman spoke raising her sword. Damien bled, too distracted by shock to fight back.

"No!" she muttered in disbelief.

She wondered whether Joe was having any luck. Now would be the perfect time for him to strike while she was distracted on finishing Damien.
