“i know you’re there!”  ocean called out into the courtyard in front of the doctor’s office.  “show yourself coward!!!”

a meniacal laughter could be heard, then a voice, as if coming from everywhere, spoke.  “ha!  you call me a coward?  mister brain scambled?”  ocean cringed.  “thats right.  here i am, to be the RULER of the soon to be not so free world, and you dare to call ME A COWARD!!!”  the laughter began again.

“Duncan…  you will not get away with this!  as long as i live, you shall never have that which you seek.”  ocean suddenly realised he needed to get out of there.  if anyone saw them, they would be in big trouble.  “what do you want duncan?” ocean said looking around.

“nothing… just to remind you of how weak you are.  how… ” duncan seemed to revel in the fear he caused in ocean. “how insolent you and your little friends are to me.”  duncan jumped down from the roof above ocean to face him.  “you will not survive this…  unless you join me.”

ocean snorted “join you?!  riiiight.  you’re crazier than i am.  maybe i could recommend a therapist for you!” he said gesturing to the building behind him with the gaping hole.  “what do you want?”

“nothing.” duncan shrugged.  “i have just about all i need, whether you join me or not.  i was just simply giving you a chance to live.  but now that you have insulted me, allow me to give you a demonstration of the power i am soon to have!”  then… as if called to him, zombies began immerging from the nearby buildings. 

ocean looked around, mystified as to where the zombies came from.  shaking his head, as if to try to lose the nightmaric vision, he look around again to find the same zombies, still advancing upon him.  he looked back to Duncan to find a snide grin upon his lips.  “this is your doing?!  how?! what have you done?”

“to be honest, i don’t know.  all of a sudden, one day i could hear them.  them as a whole, for they are not individuals… they are…  they are one.”  an evil grin flashed duncan’s facial features and he laughted cruelly.  “and soon… very soon, I will command them as an army to do my bidding!!!  they’ll not merely follow me as they do now.”

“you have gone mad,” ocean said in a low voice. “you couldn’t possibly be able to do that…”

“oh, but i could.  soon i will find the key that will allow me to command them, to heed my beck and call!”  his evil laughter echoed between the buildings.  “you see, my plans are not as far fetched as you thought, eh?  maybe you’ll join me now?”

“NEVER!” and with a quick dash ocean lunged across the courtyard at duncan.  so unexpected was this move duncan barely had time to block the hit of ocean’s fiery blade with his of light.  “you will never, ever rule this world. i swear this as long as i live.  and even if you kill me, my friends will take up my place…  got it?!”

duncan just smiled, pushed ocean away, then took off down the street.  the zombies however stayed on ocean and slowly began to encircle him.  ocean lunged cutting down two on his left.  but there were too many.

thinking to himself, “heather, if ever a time you were listening… please let it be now…”

“hey, ocean…”  looking up, he saw jessi above him, “need a lift?”  ocean nodded then jumped up into jessi’s arms.

“how did you know where i was?” 

“how else?”

“heather…”
