John finished the last few painkillers, and dragged himself onto the
bed, the world was awash now, it was.. fluffy... he didnt notice
Seymour falling out, he didnt notice Ambers sword, all he wanted to
do was sleep.
"Hello again Keatsy..." said a voice.
<end clip>
Keats mind wasnt in the room, his body, he knew was on the bed, his
mind was elsewhere. He was standing on a lake, turned orange by the
evening sun. As he gazed across it, he saw another entity standing
with is head down slightly further down from shore. He walked towards
it, his feet making ripples on the calm lakes surface.
The other figure slowly raised his head and looked directly at him.
"Who are you" Keats asked with a blank expression and absolutely mute
of emotion.
"I am you, or, to be more exact, im the you who exists precisely 5
minutes from now. We are inhabiting the regions of your mind that
exists outside of space-time, to be more exact, your Id"
"Why have you come here" Still blank, still emotionless.
The other John raised his hand.
Our John did a moment afterwards.
"We have the same wound, we got this when we were attacked by the Jay
Hybrid clone"
"I remember that, i got it when he was about to shoot Amber, I
stopped him by grabbing the gun nozzle."
The other John smiled as he looked at his own wound.
"Yes we did"
"I ask again, why are you here?"
"We are infected"
"With what?"
"Jack. Jacks persona is still in us. He is attacking us at this
instant, trying to control us. He took over my body, killed all we
cared for, and went after the one person he hated most. I exist as a
freak result of the Stasis Technology on-board, i am your future
persona, We must Defeat Jacks Persona"
John Nodded, understanding little, but he felt what he said was right.
He saw another figure, different this time, sitting underneath a
large tree in the centre of the lake. With a blink of an eye, he was
standing next to him, Jacks persona looked up at him and sighed.
"I was never given a chance you know, i was always hated by the other
Personas, never got a chance at living, everytime, passed to the
side, all i wanted was 5 minutes to be Jack, to be alive, and so,
when we met, i inhabited you, hoping your will was weaker. It wasnt,
and so i waited for your defense to fail, for you to slip out of
conciousness, so i could kill those who hated me"
"Why me?"
"It was a matter of chance you walked by me when you did, i took a
chance at freedom, at life"
"Last time you took over me, on pleb, we went beserk, almost killing
myself and you"
"I wanted to live for 5 minutes. To do what i do, i am what Jack
could of been. It was only in that experiment when he united all the
Jacks in all the Universes into himself that i realised how precious
life was. I just wanted another chance to live"
"I can help you, i will find someone for you to inhabit, someone whos
own Psyche is beyond repair. Then you may live."
John turned back towards the lake, took a few steps.
Jack took a chance, and pounced at John.
Keats just about avoided the lunge, Jack slowed and turned round to
face him. Keats raised his fists in the fighting style he learnt on
the streets of Neo-Stroud. Jack gave a quick smile before flinging
himself into a relentless attack. John didnt fight much, he was a
amster at avoiding danger, but if he ran, he knew his personna would
sucum to the attack.
"DAMN YOU KEATS! I WANT TO LIVE!"
He fell on John, sending them both sprawling across the little island
in the lake.
"This is my mind Jack, i can do what i want here"
"Not in this state you cant, youve wasted yourself, your mind can
barely function woth the amount of Ultra-morph youve pumped into
yourself"
"I can still fight you back"
Keats stood up, and held out his hand, slowly, a bright light
enimated from his hand, a simple blade appeared in it, nolarger than
a foot. He stood forwards and raised the Reki-Maru to Jack, who was
still on the floor.
"My offer still stands. Stay and wait for me to free you, or fight
and die. Its your choice"
Jack bowed his head in defeat.
"I... I just wanted to live..."
Keats eyes cracked open. He was in his bunk, still groggy from the
Ultra morph. He rolled his head towards Amber and Seymour, who had
only just fell out of the vent. Keats smiled to himself, and sat up
slowly.
