63. Join Us: RERevelations

 

(Authors Note: Please make sure to read the first two “Join Us” stories before reading this one.)

——

We had many names for them throughout history. 

Skin walker.

Wendigo.

Djinn.

Oni.

Baba Yaga.

Vampire.

Boogeyman.

And so much more. 

But when they started their invasion of the surface world. Billions of monsters, these “Forsaken ones”.. Emerged all at once from underground, from all over the world.. Though it seems it was highly centralized from this specific mountain area, an almost primordial ancient mountain. It was like their headquarters to them, and from there they unleashed hell on Earth. And It was a carnage and devastation on a level never before seen on Earth. Overnight, entire countries were overrun.. untold billions were tore apart, disemboweled, dismembered, eaten, tortured, and converted into the demonic horde.. All the meanwhile, all you can hear is constant screams of agony and this ungodly guttural throat like moaning.. That sound is from them violently cutting out their own vocal cords, they had mutilated their own body. They had also evolved or should I say devolved into the perfect killing machines.. Completely caught off guard, they showed no mercy to the sons of man.. The vast majority of humanity was reduced to chunks of meat and blood running down the gutters or converted into the unholy and soulless horde..

This time… 

They all one had one universal name. 

The End.

Our END.

How do I know all this? 

Because face this hell before and survived. 

You see..

My name is Nathan.

It all started as a fun best friend road trip to the mountains. When we reached our destination, they ambushed us…

They took my three best friends from me.. Kyle, Clark, and Julia. They tore them apart or converted them into monsters. I couldn’t save them…

Then they came for me. 

I put up a valiant last stand against a army of mangled and impure monsters.

They overwhelmed me, but they did not kill and devour me.

Unfortunately I was not that lucky.

Maybe it was a punishment for fighting back so hard… I was destined for a fate worse than death. They dragged me into the bowls of the Earth… they had planned to convert me to into one of them. 

I was nailed to the wall by my hands and feet, crucified. I holwed in absolute anguish and agony, blood gushing out, the pain was Immeasurable. Then they pried my eye lids open.. And forced me to look into their eyes for hours. 

These were black and hollow eyes, soulless, dark, and empty.. An ancient primordial evil beyond anything we could possibly comprehend. 

It felt like two red hot metal stakes were rammed into my eye balls, I was stunned and paralyzed.. I could not move, like I was hypnotized. 

Then I saw it…

I saw thousands of thousands of visions.. Dear God what I saw, so much pain, sadness, hatred.. I could see.. They were so human like in the beginning, for God had made them in his most beloved creations image.. His angel Lucifer. And once he led the Angel rebellion against his creator, God abandoned his grandchildren and forsook them. When these “forsaken ones” had released their God abandoned them and created the new modern human race.. In their jealous insanity driven hatred, they devolved into these demon like creatures and swore revenge on God and his creations.. Their ultimate display of hatred and malice towards God, being that the vast majority of them carved out their own Vocal cords.. So that they may never utter or praise his name again. I saw that they have bided their time through out the eons in hiding, becoming humanity’s shadow, waiting for the perfect time to take the Earth back. What I saw.. No human could survive, not intact. This was the not the beginning, but the end of the beginning. 

They called it…

The UNGENESIS. 

JOIN US. JOIN USSSSSSSSSSS..

HeheheheheheHAHAHAHA…..

Hah.

I could feel my soul dying, my sanity slipping away, I was being turned into one of them... Just like Clark and Julia. All that I was.. Was being ripped away from me. I was being broken down into nothingness. 

This was it.

It’s over..

…

“Don’t be afraid. You can do survive this, you must live to be the harbinger of the RERevelations.”

What.... That voice. I heard this calm almost whisper like voice, those horrible visions stopped, and then suddenly everything went white.

…

I then woke up on the sidewalk walk in the city, the one nearest the mountain where everything happened. I had no idea what happened, but somehow I was saved. I was spared a fate infinitely worse than death. I would immediately try to warn people, try and tell them about what happened on that mountain.. But they all dismissed me as a wack job. Nobody believed me. Until a few days later.. The Forsaken ones would conduct their final phase of the UNGenesis, and invade the entire surface world of Earth. It has been months since that day.. Shortly after I went into hiding, locked away in a commandeered bomb shelter with whatever supplies I can get and tried to weather out this onslaught. What else could I do? I could not believe it.. The world I used to know, was gone.. All of human society, consumed or converted by monsters from the primordial past. This was truly a nightmare I could not wake up from, every-time I closed my eyes.. I could see those visions of their fall from paradise, play over and over in my head.. It never ends. Also that voice.. Whatever that was, It’s like I could still hear it. Always. I wonder what it meant? What was I supposed to be apart of? And why was I saved? I just don’t know.. Maybe… I have to go back. 

Maybe.

We were meant to go there that day, maybe I was destined to go there for a reason. To do something grand, something that would have prevented all this. But something went wrong, and everything fell apart. I was captured and miraculously freed.. Possibly, to have another chance to stop this madness. I have to try! Or everything will be truly lost if I don’t. It’s as if some kind of force or will is urging me to go.. Urging me to stop the UNGenesis and to end Armageddon. It’s time I returned to their “Mountain Of Eden”. I load up my car, its beaten up and barely works, but it should do the job.. I’m a couple hundred miles away from those mountains, but I begin my journey back there. As I drive and avoid all the debris on the road, I witness all the devastation and destruction that has been inflicted on the world. So many mangled decayed bodies and corpses lay around me.. There are massive burning inferno’s all across the land, the smoke and ash has consumed the sky so much so that no sunlight gets through. Most of the buildings are destroyed or burned to the ground.. There is not a shred of life out there, not even insects or other animals.. I doubt even microbial life such as bacteria or fungi are left alive. It’s as if the UNGenesis was a declaration of war on all life itself. The only movement I see is fleeing shadows and in the corner of my eye, movements of God knows what.. But I know what it is… It’s them, watching me. 

They know I’m coming. 

I make it to the base of the mountain, I can see them start to emerge from the dead tree-line and brush. God they never get any easier to look at.. They resemble gross and misshapen human, deformed and elongated forms, jagged claws and teeth, and a gouged out hole where their vocal cords use to be. They shamble, crawl, skuttle, sprint, and slither across the ground.. To imagine they once resembled humans, as they were the pre-cursor to humans, but now they resemble.. Unholy monsters who had long lost their “humanity”. And now they just stared at me as I drove, not moving at all… I could not stand to look at them anymore, it was too horrible. I kept on driving, making my way up the mountain. I could recognize it all.. I remember going up these roads… With my best friends… I miss them… still can’t believe they’re gone, what happened to them.. Will always leave a hole in my heart. I’m so sorry Clark, Julia, and Kyle.. I swear to God I will make this right. I will avenge you all..

I WILL STOP THE UNGENESIS! 

I reach the top of the mountain, I get out of the car, and stand out in the open field near the cabin.. This spot looks familiar. It’s so dark, but all I can hear is that God forsaken Guttural moaning by thousands of those damned things. The trees are dead and wilted, but they are alive with movement and glowing black eyes.. But interestingly, they do not attack. They just watch. As I stand out in the open field, its comes to my realization that I don’t know what to do.. I had walked into the Lions Den and now I’m surrounded. My stomach sinks… I may have made a mistake coming here.. Damnit what was I thinking?! I’m probably going to experience the worse death possible, all because of my stupid decision.. And what are the chances that I’ll have a miraculous save this time? This time they will likely finish the job.. No… Damnit…

“Do not be afraid my child, you can do this. Bring about the RERevelations.”

ITS THAT VOICE AGAIN! I can hear it clear as day! Yes I get it now.. I know what I must do. I feel a force rush over me, all fear and doubt has left my body.. I can feel a power I never thought possible. This was it, this was my time to end this Nightmare. 

Once and for all. 

Just then all of the Forsaken ones start shambling towards me, horrors beyond comprehension etching closer and closer.. And from this horde, emerged a large almost alpha like creature that approaches me.. To say this monster was intimidating would be an understatement. He must have been seven feet tall, hulking muscles, serrated sharpened teeth, scalding dark hollow black eyes, gaping wounds and injuries, and his body was covered in unknown symbols carved into his very flesh.. This being has to be in unfathomable perpetual pain, but it moved like it didn’t feel anything. As it approached me, I stood my ground without fear.. I could not back down nor fight like I did before. This time I would not do fight or flight.. I will try something different this time, what I should have done the first time. I was completely surrounded on all sides, with this apex creature finally reaching to the front of me. We stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity. I noticed… He has no hole in his throat, his vocal cords were still intact. He could speak. Maybe we can communicate.

Maybe I could do this. 

“Pleeeeaaasee….”

HE SPOKE! HE’S TALKING TO ME! I better respond!

Please what? What are you trying to say?

“Pleeaaasseee… StOp uSsSsSS…”

“eVeN… aFter.. aLL.. tHe… PaIn… wE.. hAvE… iNfLiCaTed.. oN.. aLL.. oF.. yOu…..”

“OuR PaIn…”

“iS StILL iFiniTeLy gReAtEr tHaN yOuRs.”

“Pleeeeaaassee.. bRiNg hIS lOvE aNd LiGhT bAcK tO Us…”

“Please…..”

“BEFORE WE DESTROY THE WORLD!!!”

I must stop them, this hell must end here.. And the only way to do that. 

Is to commence the RERevelations.

Not with fearful running and not with an axe in violence.

But with peace.

I extend my right hand out, and offer him true mercy and forgiveness. 

The creature extends his own misshapen right hand out and embraces mine. 

And just as that happens.. THE SKY OPENS UP, A BLINDING WHITE LIGHT ENGULFS THE AREA.. ITS BEAUTIFUL. I CAN FEEL INFINITE LOVE AND JOY ENCOMPASS US ALL.. IT TRULY IS A MAGNIFICENT SIGHT. 

FROM THAT BRIGHT DIMENSIONAL LIGHT, EMERGES A GIANT THOUSAND MILE WIDE LARGE GLOWING GOLDEN COSMIC HAND REACHES OUT TOWARDS US. 

ALL OF THE FORSAKEN ONES REACH THEIR HANDS OUT TOWARDS IT! AS IF THEY MEAN TO EMBRACE IT! 

THEN I HEAR A LOUD BOOMING VOICE THAT SHAKES THE PLANET ITSELF! 

“Come to me my first children. It’s time you came home and JOIN US in eternity.”

“At long last.”

ITS HAPPENING.. THEY ARE ASCENDING TOWARDS THE SKY! MY GOD ITS SO BEAUTIFUL..

SO BEAUTIFUL…

SO…..

*******THE WHITE LIGHT CONSUMES US*********

Kyle: I cant wait to go fishing! I’m going to catch the biggest fish in the lake! 

Clark: You mean the second biggest fish, I’m catching the biggest one for sure! I’m the better fisherman, we all know this!

Kyle: Yeah right! We will see about that dude! Haha
