Chapter 216: Goodbye Rhapsody Part 2 (2/2)

”The Garden?!” Alton cried, turning his head.

”Quite right. For you see Alton 400 years ago, I was created by our overlords for the sole purpose of destroying mankind and while my plans have changed since then. My power hasn't. If you do not join us, then I see no reason for you to live any longer.” Kurt scoffed consuming Alton in a dark shadow. But before the deed could be finished, Kurt rolled his eyes standing back as Psychosis burst through attacking the CEO. A thick shadow rippled up, blocking this attack. ”You Syndicate family never knows when to quit do you?!”

”Mortem! I'll make you pay for what you did to our family. What you did to Victoria, you will not win today, and you will not take the lives of these children!”

Kurt turned his head smirking as smoke poured from his hand. ”Oh, but I will.” Psychosis was blinded by a puff of smoke choking on his own breath. Before long Kurt walked past cutting down Psychosis with a single blow from his shadow. A deep cut grained into his skull as Psychosis died on the spot with little chance. ”That was the almighty Psychosis the most powerful super-villain known to Victoria? Pathetic, truly pathetic. But I suppose he was holding back if he truly wanted to, he might have killed me if he had used all his powers. But that's just the man Jack Syndicate was. Far too fixated on protecting his children even if one of them turned him down and tried stopping them. A father till the very end.”

Scarlett watched on in horror seeing her own father killed before her very eyes. She tried fighting but fell short, unable to move. ”Who are you?!” Alton yelled.

”Who am I? It's probably better to ask who we are? CEOs of V.I.R.A.L? Ha, how low. We sure fooled the world, didn't we?  400 years ago, the Garden was stopped, and we failed our mission. But our kind remained able to possess the masses we hid away using fake stories like V.I.R.A.L saving the world to build up our ranks. Now we have full control over the country and an army of streamers at our disposal. We are known as angels of death; you may call us Mortem.”

”I won't let you get away with this!”

”Oh, but Alton. We already have, if you had sided with your sweet Scarlett, you might have had a slight chance, but alas you've lost. The world will quickly forget who you are, and we will move on towards a bright golden age.”

Alton turned to Alice coughing, holding his hand out. ”Alice, run!”

”Oh, I don't think so. I won't let anyone else slip from my grip again!”

”It wouldn't be the first time.” Kurt's head turned as he stood up, staring on in awe. Geostruction stood at the entrance shaking her head. ”We meet once again, Kurt Hatching.”

Alton's eyes turned to the woman who was the spitting image of Zinnia down to the hair colour and looks. His vision blurry he held his hand out whimpering. ”Zinnia?”

Geostruction kneeled to his level, patting Alton's head. ”You must be Alton Brantley; I've heard all of what you've done for my daughter. Thank you, I'll handle this.”

”Hanna Trost. It's been 400 years, but at last, we are reunited as husband and wife. Are you here for this body?”

Hannah stared at Kurt with a firm look. ”You bet your ass I am Mortem. I won't allow you to hurt any more people. This is where it all ends.”

Kurt grinned as serval shadows appeared all around him. ”You're absolutely right, my dear. Let's finish what we started 400 years ago shall we?”
