End of Day 5


End Day 5...




"You have been accused of conspiracy to overthrow and kill Doctor Lovell, and the leaders of this town, with psychics, monsters, the dead, and whatever dark master you pray to. How do you plead?"

Nick Koeman grimmaced as Doctor Lovell rolled up the parchment he had been reading from. "I plead not guilty! I demand a trial by my peers! This is what should have been done when you started these investigations!"

Lovell raised an eyebrow at Mr. Koeman. "All this time - I had given you everything you asked for Mr. Koeman, even the luxury and benefits that those closest to me enjoy, and now here you are, spitting it back in my face? After all I have done for you, you go and conspire with those dark forces?! How dare you even demand a trial!"

Lovell snapped his fingers, and Gasmask stepped forward, and unsheathing an ornate shortsword, handed it to Doctor Lovell. "I, myself shall execute you, Mr. Koeman, as an example to others who would be betray me and the good people of this town."

Mr. Koemans eyes went wide with surprise as several townies he trusted stepped up and held him down. Turning to each with a look of despair, he pleaded, "You - I sold you food from my store for pennies when I knew your family was in dire need of money. You! I helped you keep your livestock alive when the storm from 87 rolled in! And you...I helped get better nutrition for our schools, I helped prevent a disease from spreading through the town after tainted meat was found! Why are you doing this!? You know me, and know I am innocent!"

Lovell smacked Nick across the face. "Silence! Your betrayal of these people has gone long enough, and shall be avenged!" As Lovell pulled back for a swing, Nick snapped, and with a roar threw off those holding him down and charged Lovell, quickly wrestling the shortsword away from him. Falling to the ground, the wind knocked out of him, Lovell tried to summon Gasmask, but Nick was too fast.

He quickly turned the blade on those trying to restrain him again, and in a fusion of both Samurai and Beef Butcher, artfully cleaved his opponents apart, killing several innocents before managing to escape their clutches as he mad a mad dash towards Lovell's mansion. Even when Gasmask tried to intercede, Nick simply cleaved his arm off and pushed him out of the way, a look of determination and fanaticism in his eyes.

Breaking past them all, he dashed into the doors, while Gasmask busied himself with reattaching his severed limb and following at a brisk pace. The crowd however was to stunned and trying to help the dying to give chase, and Mr. Black simply watched with interest. Finally after a few minutes, Nick Koeman appeared on the rooftop balcony, clearly in a panic. As the crowd watched with baited breath, expecting Gasmask to appear at any moment.

However, from the shadows appeared a man in a white suit and fedora, wielding his cane and malevolent smile. Kicking Koeman to the ground effortlessly, snatching the shortsword away and placing his foot on the hapless mans back, Nyxius addressed the crowd with his usual charismatic flair. "Denizens of this fair town, I come to you, as..." Koeman struggled to get up and away, but with a grunt Nyxius forced him back to the ground.

"...a simple man. I can bring you great happiness, or great sorrow. Do not think that I came to bring..." Nyxius again forced Koeman to the ground, clearly irriated. Looking down at the poor butcher, Nyxius scolded him. "Do you mind? I am busy and it would help me greatly if you kept still!"

"...peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to...". Nick Koeman screamed out for help, and this time was shoved hard to the ground by Nyxius, who smacked him with the sword. "Please, good sir! I am in the middle of speaking, do not interrupt me, it is rude!" Sighing to himself, Nyxuis turned back to the crowd."...set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother."

Finally done with what he had to say, Nyxius removed his foot from Koeman and stood him up, facing the crowd, and asked the doomed man one last question. "Vertical or Horizontal...yes, no? Oh, it doesn't matter."

Witha flick of his wrist, Nyxuis sliced open Koeman, and pushing on his back, spilled forth most of the late Nick Koeman out upon the streets. Letting the body plummet to the ground, Nyxius took his cane, and tipping his hat, bowed deeply to the crowd, and turned and left. A minute later, he appeared at the front doors and wound his way past Lovell, Mr. Black, and the crowd, a cheerfully evil smile on his face, down through the city streets and vanished some few blocks later.

--------------------------------------

Lovell sat in stunned silence, having just finished assigning duties to his guards for the night, and began to make ready to take a nice long hot bath when his bathroom door burst open, and in Lovell's bathrobe, Nyxius strode out, brushing his teeth with Lovell's toothbrush and toothpaste. Brushing past the doctor and muttering to himself, or some things unseen about him, he took a seat upon Lovell's bed, and using Lovell's nail filer, finally took notice of the stunned man.

"Oh, you there, yes, I have been meaning to talk to you since from earlier today. What do you know about this lady, Adastreia, along with the man Diamonto? I have heard very disconcerting news through the grapevine, and I would be very sad if I was to learn that you had no information for me."

Lovell still stood in awe as Nyxius went over to the walk-in closet and pulled out one of Lovell's fine suits, placing it against his body to see if it would fit. Disappointed, Nxyius walked further into the closet, and Lovell dumbly followed. However, when lovell Looked inside, Nxyius had vanished. Suddenly, from within the closet, Nyxius's silky commanding voice sounded.

"You know how to contact me."

And with a soul crushing, manic laugh, Lovell was pushed by an invisible force out of his closet, and the doors slammed shut.
