I parked the cycle at the side of the rode, walking into a long alley, empty for years. I felt it following me, from me walking to the bar, to kissing him goodbye, to now. Many of us thought he was only a legend, but no. He exists. Light's Monster.
He killed the woman many years ago..ever since her murder this city went to hell.
I turned my back towards the light, staring into the dark end of the alley. I yelled towards the darkness,
"I see you! I see your face in the shadows! I see you where I shouldnt be!!
I've heard the men in the bars whisper about you! I see the women lock their doors at night!"
I looked towards the city, "Lock your door tonight!!!"
There was a faint red glow in the darkness, the 'Fire Eye of Light's Monster'
"You know, they say your eyes are on fire. I just dont get why...
They say you killed a man for walking the wrong side of the lines! The wrong side!"
I took a closer step, "Well man say all these foolish things, so in the end the only words i believe are MINE"
But they say:
This city she's been dead for years now
for years now"
To that I say:
So death is not something that scares me!
it doesnt scare me!
Cause there's worse things than death here!!
They tell me!!
KEEP QUIET!!!
The red light grew brighter
No!! "I will not be told where to stand!! Nor what to say!!"
I pointed to myself, then to the shadows, "Not by man or machine, not by you or anyone tonight!
So you're gonna have to do better than fear! You gotta step out of the shadows and fight!
SO COME AND FIGHT YOU COWARD."
...and when the city sees his face again, they will know what it means to have fear dragged out to the light. Looks like im the one who's gonna drag it out!
But they say:
This city she's been dead for years now
for years now"
To that I say:
So death is not something that scares me!
it doesnt scare me!
I raised my voice to made sure he heard,
SO COME ON!
COME ON!
STEP INTO THE LIGHT!!!
JUST OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND REVIVE THE WORDS I SPEAK!
It walked out of the shadows, the eye glowing a crimson red.
This city
shes been dead
for years now
for years now
so death is
not something
that scares me
that scares me
It said enough and raised a gun, aiming right at me. I heard enough from it as i got a knife from my boot. The fight was such a blur, i got beat badly. As it was about to stab me with my own knife i grabbed its gun and shot a hole right through it. I then pushed it off of me and gasped for air. I then saw a man walking towards the machine,
"Step away from it!" I cried, running to him
"I built this, so its mine to destroy."
He knelt to the machine and took my knife, cutting wires. Then, the red light flashed and faded out. It was gone for good.
He stood up, "My name...is Doctor Light." He had the machine's helmet in his hand, tossing it to me.
"Here, try this on."
