Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

Moto considered his surroundings; it was black and the only thing standing in his way was the cult leader guy. "So what are you going to do? Your friend is going to die soon if you don't hurry up or it will kill you." Everen started laughing manically and Moto started to sweat. He got an inch closer but then the thing that had taken his friend started to lash hooks at him and with hooks already on him it was hard to escape them.

He was backed into a corner. He sighed and used his Force ability to take off the hooks, which ripped chunks of his skin off. He reminded himself of what happened to the apostles.

Peter was hanged upside down

Saint Thomas was blown by spears

Saint Simon was stabbed with a sword.

Now I may die getting my neck hooked.

He fumbled on that last line; this isn't normal. Usually he didn't doubt himself. He used his spit on his feet to accelerate around and tried to spin around and kick Everen; he did manage to get a good kick on his neck, which dislocates it but then a hook came out and spread throughout his right leg that did the attacking, breaking his bones to nothing in that leg.

His eyes go completely dead black numb as he falls. "HAH, YOU THOUGHT AND YOUR FRIEND IS MELTING MORE. ITS HOOKS HAVE GOTTEN FROM MY NECK INTO YOUR LEG, DESTROYING IT AND NOW FROM YOUR LITTLE FRIEND—ACTUALLY, MY FRIEND NOW I CALL LITTLE G—WILL USE ITS HOOK WORMS TO FEED OFF YOU AND REPRODUCE!" His voice went to nonsense and he observed little forces like the wind in the air energy transferring.

He felt weightless as he is slammed and the hook ran to his neck then it deflected and Moto fell down, eyes bright with a determined look. The little thing started melting and the upper half of Marco's body was back, partially melted. He looked around shocked. Moto stood up with all the hooks retracting. "Hey Marco, I think I found the name for my ability, Speed Force King.

The hooks looked like they were moving by themselves with aggressive movements to Everen's tongue, ripping it out but using smaller hooks to connect it to his mouth. Then he got hung up on the wall and covered with hooks until it was a fishing net and he was the corpse. "Because those hooks were filled with life, they would keep you alive forever no matter what happens. Enjoy your stay because you'll be there for a little while." There was a glint of determination in his eyes as Marco fully turned back to normal, except with some melted parts and his right eye melted down. He passes out but Moto catches him.
