Puzzles In Darkness: Beginning

  Kyzeip asked Increst: “answer me, why are you here? Do you really have nowhere else to go”? Increst replied: “no I fucking don't, I lost everything except for this guitar”. Kyzeip said: “your eyes are erased like Maxizz, I can understand why he would do it, but why you”. Increst replied: “I had some family problems okay, is that what you wanted to hear, why are you bring this up now”. Kyzeip replied: “because we have time to spare, if you paid attention you would've seen this area was the first to be attacked, that is why it's last to be inspected. Broots often hide out near the end of their invasion so the odds of us finding one is low but still possible”. Increst said: “why didn’t you say so before, I was fucking nervous”. Kyzeip said: “that's one of the most common things a Slayer should know, I can understand fuckup-boy not knowing that, but you seemed more aware, why don't you know, there's something off about you”. Increst replied: “I only started training to be a Slayer a little over a year ago, but why do you wanna know about me”. Kyzeip replied: “I can't sleep on the job, so I would much rather talk and hear more about you if you don't mind”. Increst said: “holy shit, the shut away goth want to be involved in something”. Kyzeip said: “so are you going to tell me anything or not”. Increst replied: “sure, but it’s sad, but I’m guessing you had it fucking worst”.

  “It started seven years ago, I was doing homework like normal when an invasion happened in my town. I panicked, I ran downstairs to my parents were they grabbed me and my brother out of the house. I couldn't help but look at the chaos behind me, I was so scared I wasn't looking where I was running and tripped, my papa stopped to pick me up. The treefuckers were coming closer to us, I don't know what happened but papa was behind me and a treefucker got him. Mama held on to me and told me to keep going, that was the time I saw my papa. After the invasion was finished, all that was left was my brother and mama. Mama had a bit of a drinking problem before, but without papa around she became sick. Me and my brother were scared to be around her, we couldn't help her, but my brother did his best to keep my spirit up. He made a guitar out of garbage and played whatever song I wanted him to play. He was terrible at it, but it made me happy. One-day mama’s drinking got so bad she started to smash everything in sight. My brother tried to stop her, but she fought back, she called him a fucking useless son and smashed the guitar he loved”.

  “After that, his face turns red with rage and he hit mama. She didn't like that, she grabbed an empty bottle and smashed it on my brother's head. I can't remember what happened after that, but the police were in our house. They took mama away to prison, I asked what happen to my brother. The only response I got was that he was in a better place. If only papa was alive he could have prevented what happened. I blame the treefuckers for what they did to me. If I don't, I blame myself for tripping that day, I don't want to be responsible for what happened”. Kyzeip closed Increst month and whipped away her tears. Kyzeip said: “I know how painful it is to blame yourself for making mistakes that didn't need to happen. But making regrets for something you can't control will drive you to insanity. I blamed myself for all the times I burden my mom for being born. I'm the son of a bastard, it was never a choice for me to exist and yet look at me. Take a good look at me, if you keep blaming yourself for what happened, then this is what you will become”.

  Increst smiled and said: “you’re not that bad, for the son of a bastard you're surprisingly nice”. Kyzeip said: “that's because I was rise by an angel in hell”. Increst said: “I’ve been wondering, how did you fucking leave Skaiza, isn't it supposed to be extremely difficult to do”. Kyzeip said: “if done legally yes, but I had no way doing it legally so I didn't”. Increst replied: “so you immigrated behind the law, fuck man why are you telling me this”. Kyzeip said: “because I know you will keep it a secret, don't forget were the dogs of the government, if anyone else knew they'll just send us on a dangerous mission rather than deport me back to Skaiza”. Increst said: “ya I guess you're right, I thought being a Slayer would be a lot more badass, but now I’m thinking it's just a pain in the ass”. Kyzeip asked: “if you don't mind me asking, was your brother's guitar the same as the one you have”. Increst said: “it is, I play it to sound off the fucking voice in my head that call me weak, if only I can play it all the time”. Kyzeip said: “one day you won't need to a musical instrument to do that”. Increst thanked Kyzeip for the surprisingly comforting words and after that Tea came back to report his findings. Tea said: “no Broots in da building bro, but I’s find a sex doll on da sixth floor in da fourth room if U’s wandering”. Kyzeip thought: “no I was not”. Tea looks at Increst and asked: “did U’s two do something when I’s wasn’t not here, good job bro I’s proud of U’s”. Kyzeip just ignored tea and continued to inspect the building.

  Chapter 14: Flaming Rage

  Several hours and ten buildings later team 4 of a kind meet up at the last building. Rolando spoke: “how did thee accomplished in thy search”. Increst said: “abso-fucking-lutely nothing, not a single treefucker to be found”. Maxizz said: “wow you must be so happy, we on the other hand found three, I guess in fairness you two can take the last one”. Kyzeip said: “how kind of you, I guess in fairness I’ll assume that lump on your shoulder is muscle and not something you stole off the ground”. Maxizz said: “I was just holding on to it to return it later, I’m not a thief anymore”. Rolando looked disappointed at Maxizz and began to lecture him. Rutilius came up to Kyzeip and Tea and said: “if you want a speed up the inspection process, I would recommend phasing thru the walls, I thought that myself and it was a brilliant idea if I do say so myself. Kyzeip thought: “oh really when did you come up with that idea”. Rutilius replied: “I believe it was around half way up the second building is when it came to me”. Tea laughed and said: “ha-ha, bro came up with da same idea on da first floor of da first building, get dunked on”. Rutilius gave a straight face and just left without saying anything, he must of been really proud of his idea.

  Later Kyzeip and Increst searched the building like they were, but then Tea came down in a panic. Tea said: “big problem bro, there's a kid up stairs and a Broot in da same room”. Kyzeip thought: “what, why is there kid here, where is this”. Tea said: “second room, da kids in da closet crying, U’s gotta do something”. Kyzeip pulled Increst up and hurried up to the room with the Broot. Increst asked: “what the fuck gotten into you”? Kyzeip replied: “trust me on this, I know that there's trouble up stairs and we need to hurry”. Kyzeip headed to the second room and slowly took out his knife, Increst looked over, saw the Broot and said: “fuck you were right, I think I can shoot it right now”. Kyzeip said: “you will do no such thing, listen there a crying child in the closet, we have to be careful with how we do this”.

  Increst said nothing and listened, she than said: “oh fuck I can hear the kid, how did you know”. Kyzeip said: “that's not important, what is important is the Broot, it looks like a snake-Broot, it can’t hear us, but it knows someone's here. I’ll block the way and you slowly take the kid out of here, if the snake-Broot attacks, I’ll fight it, you just have get the kid out”. Increst agreed to Kyzeip’s plan, first he moved in close to the Broot with his knife ready to stab it while Increst slowly came to the closet. Increst opens the closet to find a little girl starved and weak, she puts her hand on her mouth and said: “don't make a sound, everything will be okay”. Increst picked up the girl in her arms and quietly walked away.

  Tea asked: “why R U’s quiet, I’s thought I’d said da Broot can't hear”. Kyzeip thought: “yes but it's sensitive to vibrations, if we're too loud it will know were here. I would love to stab it already but there's no telling what could happen. it's just too reckless to attack right now, I just need to wait for Increst to leave than I can fight”. As Increst slowly walk out, she accidentally steps on some trash, she loses her balance and falls on her back. The little girl cried and the snake-Broot reacted to it, Kyzeip immediately strikes the snake-Broot as fast as he can so it won't attack Incre
st. Increst needed to unstrap her guitar-gun to stand up and run away with the little girl. She ran out to the hallway and headed to the staircase. Unfortunately for Increst a lion-Broot came down and blocked her way to the stairs. The lion-Broot lowered its front body as it was ready to jump, Increst was shaking in fear as she had no weapon to fight back. Once again because of her fall she and the girl are going to die by the jaws of a Broot. The lion-Broot jump at Increst with its claws out, Increst couldn't do nothing but close her eyes and accept her fate.

  In that moment that felt like an eternity for Increst, a sound of static was heard filled by something heavy dropping near her. She opened her eyes to see the lion-Broot just inches away from her with Kyzeip’s knife in it's head. She looks behind her to see Kyzeip panicked and breathing heavily after the throw. Kyzeip grabs Increst’s guitar-gun and said: “you might not want leave this behind again, you worked so hard to make it, it would be a waste if you didn't use it”. Increst cried as she thanked Kyzeip for saving her. Kyzeip said: “we're not done yet you need to take that kid out of here and I have a fire to extinguish”. Increst safely brings the little girl to the police while Kyzeip finished off the mission. Later Kyzeip returns to his team, Rolando puts both his arms on Kyzeip’s shoulders and said: “great work brother, you've made me proud”. Maxizz said: “man how does it feel to be a hero”. Kyzeip replied: “it feels like I set fire to a child's room, in a way I kind of feel like you. Maxizz said: “I can't tell if that was a compliment or an insult, I'll just take it as a compliment”.

  Kyzeip lied down and pretend to sleep, he than thought to Rolando: “answer me, did you feel it”. Rolando replied: “yes I felt it, even Rutilius felt it”. Tea asked: “felt wat, wat did U’s guys feel, was it titties”. Kyzeip replied: “as usually you're wrong, the moment I finished off the last Broot in the building there was a sensation”. Tea said: “da fuck R U’s sayin”. Kyzeip replied: “I'm not entirely sure myself, but the weird feeling was pointing me towards the area where the tree of death was. It would seem that everyone who's been to the dark cave felt it”. Tea said: “see, I’s told U’s all I’s wasn't dead”. Kyzeip thought: “I didn't say you weren't dead, only that you weren't in the dark cave, I still think you may be involved in this in some other way”. Rolando thought: “how so”. Kyzeip replied: “I might just find out tonight”. Rolando thought: “you're planning on entering the dark cave again aren't you”. Kyzeip thought: “I can't make it anymore obvious”. Rutilius said: “don't go thinking I be coming with you, I’m not going back there for nothing”. Rolando thought: “I would like to help you, but Rutilius has a point, it’s not worth it”. Kyzeip thought: “neither was the first plane or the first computer, if we stop ourselves from achieving something greater than we thought was possible it will never come true. The only factor that will prove you right is me not coming back alive and I have no intentions of becoming a pure brain”. Rolando thought: “you're a braver man than I, I will not worry but expect you to return at dawn”. Kyzeip replied: “I be back when I feel like it”.

  Kyzeip prepared himself for another night, along side him came Tea as he was curious himself to what the secrets are of the dark cave, even if it didn’t seem like he was interested. Tea said: “I’s tells ya, U’s can take a break from dis anytime two hook up with da rocker chick”. Kyzeip replied: “do you even understand the potential of knowledge that can be obtained from the dark cave, I can't get myself distracted”. Tea replied: “fine I’s C, if U’s really like U’s can take it slow and hook up her later”. Kyzeip said: “and like that every word you say is made out off helium”. Tea asked: “da fuck does dat mean”? Kyzeip replied: “it means every you say is worth its weight in gold”. Tea said: “aww thank U’s bro, U’s words R worth its weight in helium two”. Kyzeip and Tea finally arrived at the tree of death and right away Kyzeip hit the ground until a hole appeared. Tea said: “so dats where we’s going bro, I’s scared”. Kyzeip said: “not right now I want to do a little test first”. Kyzeip took out a ball of yarn, tied one end to his finger and dropped the rest in the hole. Tea asked: “wat U’s doing”? Kyzeip said: “checking to see if there is another way out without using the door in the dark cave”. Kyzeip pulled the string back to him, but only a few meters came up. Kyzeip said: “looks like we got our answer”. Tea said: “fuck wat da hell cut it off”? Kyzeip said: “if I had to guess there's a point of a one-way transportation and it looks about three meters is the point of no return”.

  Kyzeip jumped into the hole followed by Tea, as he arrived at the bottom he took the time to look around. Kyzeip and Tea looked up to see the inside of tower that had no end to its height. Tea said: “fuck dats high, do I’s go up two check”. Kyzeip replied: “don't bother, if it's anything like the cave it will go on in an endless loop, speaking of the cave there nothing else here but the entrance to it. Tea if your done fucking around I’ll be heading through now”. Kyzeip picked up the ball of yarn and entered the cave, Tea entered the cave with Kyzeip and did the backwards walk to enter the dark room. Tea looked around the room like he was a kid in a candy store all excited to see the place in person. Kyzeip looked at a solar system like puzzle in the room, he stared at it to figure out how to solve it before touching it. Tea said: “wat da hell is dis, wat do U’s do”? Kyzeip replied: “it looks like our solar system, the small orb in the middle is the blue sun and the nineteen other orbs are the planets”. Tea said: “and wat R dos rings on da pillars four”? Kyzeip said: “it looks like we will have to line up the planets to face the rings, the planet's in the same orbit ring can moves together, all I have to do is line them up and puzzle is solved. Considering the last puzzle was just as easy as this one it can be assumed that the prosopher didn’t think much of Kreeton intelligence”.

  Tea said: “ha easy in easy out”. Kyzeip said: “for once you're right, let's get this over with”. Kyzeip charged his glove to form another ball of lightning as he touched the puzzle, with no surprise all the Broots ran into it and all exploded instantly. Tea said: “dat was fuckin badass bro, U’s destroyed them like fly’s flying in two a fly zapper”. Kyzeip said: “don't start celebrating just yet I have finished the puzzle before we can leave, the Broots will return in a few seconds so I'll make this quick”. Tea said: “fine I’s wait, so why U’s even come here if U’s just going two leave”. Kyzeip replied: “as soon as we enter the door there will be an imagine that will appear in our minds, there's something important about it and I think it could be linked to a bigger puzzle than… hold on, do you hear that”. Tea became quiet and listened, a sound of an engine could be heard, Kyzeip turned to the entrance and saw a man on a motorcycle covering his face with a helmet. Kyzeip yelled: “WHO ARE YOU”. The man on the motorcycle said: “I’m the one that's goanna end your life”. The mysterious motorcycle man drove right at Kyzeip wanting to run him over, Kyzeip quickly throws his knife at the front wheel of the motorcycle attempting to make the mysterious man crash. The man dodged the knife and speed up so fast he was driving on the wall. The man used pipes on his motorcycle to target Kyzeip, he shoots out a huge ball of fire at him.

  Kyzeip jumped behind the puzzle to block the flames, but as soon as he dodged one the man fired another. Tea said: “those R some hot balls coming at yours’s face bro”. Kyzeip replied: “now is not the time for this”. The man said: “you're right, it time for you to burn in hell for what you've done”. The man released a stream of fire at the ground making Kyzeip climb on top of the spinning planets. Tea asked: “yo, do U’s no dis psycho”. Kyzeip replied: “I don't recall, he must either know who I was or he could be mistaken me for someone else”. Kyzeip constantly kept throwing knifes at the motorcycle man on the wall while keeping balancing, but every time he got close to hitting him the man suddenly speed up so fast it was like he was teleporting to the other side of the room in a second. The man kept on shooting balls of fire at Kyzeip, but Kyzeip was faster and reacted to every attack unsigned, but he couldn't keep it up forever. Tea decided to stop
watching and started helping his bro out, Tea accelerated to the motorcycle man’s speed and began to motorboat him. The man lost his focus and did not see Kyzeip throwing his knife at his front wheel. The man fell off the wall and crashed onto the ground hard.

  Tea celebrated and said: “YA, motherfucker, Tea two da rescue doing wat he does best”. Kyzeip said: “I can't believe that work for the second time”. The man stood up, lifted up his motorcycle and said: “you fucking bastards, you will pay for this with your life”. Kyzeip said: “first, Tea over here is already dead. Tea replied: “NO, I’s in a fucking coma bro”. Kyzeip continued: “second you won't be able to ride you bike in that condition”. The man replied: “oh I don't need to ride it, I just need it”. The man pulled off the sleeve on his right arm revealing it to be a mechanical arm. The man than put his arm in his motorcycle and it transforms around his arm to form a huge weapon. Tea said: “holy shit dats awesome”. The man fired a massive flame at Kyzeip that engulf two thirds of the room. Kyzeip quickly jumped behind the puzzle once more and Tea said: “I’s take it back, dats not awesome”. The man said: “ha what are you going to do now, you're a dead man. Kyzeip threw his knife at the man sticking it at the mechanical weapon. The man said: “really, that your best shot”. Kyzeip replied: “no, but this is”. Kyzeip then connected the knife with one in his hand and shocked the man until he fainted. Kyzeip said: “not so cocky now”.
