BLACK GHOUL
Chapter 205: Doomsday

Chapter 205: Doomsday

It stood high and tall the same 10 feet as he was, the body covered in something like a coil, dark brown in color, with a horn at the center. It looked more like a beast than a ghoul, having no eyes but sharp deadly fangs for a mouth.

It roared an insanely loud sound, all hell was about to break loose as next was a bloodbath.

The 10 ghouls came in front but in a blink of an eye, he fought them off, pushing, and clawing at their Claws, before going after the kill, raging and relentless.

Sean came in between but with one plunge of the beast’s hand Sean was sent flying in the air smashing into a building on fire a distance away.

"SEAN!" Iris shouts in horror.

"IRIS LOOK OUT!" Riley shouts as the Beast almost smashes through her heart but then a rod wraps around the Beast’s hand, stopping it.

It snaps facing Riley and then roaring with one fling of its hand Riley was sent flying into the air, still holding onto the rod, as did the Beast.

"RILEY" Iris shouts in horror about attacking the Beast but it holds her by the throat, lifting her off her feet.

It then turns to Riley pulling the rod down as well as Riley, she plunges forward to the Beast as he grabs her by the throat.

He flings Iris off with his other hand as she stumbles backward against the ground.

The Beast growled facing Riley, tightening his claws on her neck eagerly wanting to crush her throat, Riley struggled for breath as her legs wagged from the loss of gravity. She felt suffocating and she couldn’t act, the beast was restricting her powers with just a touch to her skin, she was becoming light-headed and her windpipe was ready to be crushed, and as if not enough...

The Beast then points its extended nails on her chest before drawing it back ready to plunge into her heart. Riley’s eyes widen in horror, knowing the fate that awaits her.

Roaring the fist came for her chest, her life flashed before her eyes, not just hers but that of her unborn baby and she couldn’t be more scared, it was happening again, she was about to lose yet another life given to her and that of her baby.

But instantly like a sharp bullet, the Beast was pushed off Riley.

She gasped almost getting to the ground but strong arms caught her.

Her eyes were tightly shut and her breath was in a panic, at the familiar warmth, she was forced to flick her eyes open and she felt she had the world again.

"Liam,"

Liam’s looks were emotionless, the killing intent he had shocked the whole area.

"Liam?" She said once again. She wasn’t even sure of the name she was calling anymore. His entire focus was set on the beast before them and his looks were murderous and cold just like she met him then when she was an agent, she have never seen him like this ever since.

The Beast rose to its feet, roaring.

Liam drops Riley down walking forward covering her with his frame.

Riley stares at his back with sad eyes.

"Don’t move," he said sternly.

The Beast roars once more. In a zap of speed, Liam came at him, they collided in a fury battle.

Riley stood stunned watching, she couldn’t believe her eyes, Liam was fighting the beast head-on without using his power, it was almost like he was the power himself.

Liam grabs the Beast on the throat slamming it hard against the ground causing a huge crack against it.

"I know where your heart is!" Liam hissed before digging his now claw hands in the beast’s stomach and pulling out something that looked like a heart, before moving away.

The Beast growled in extreme pain going on its knees.

"You were mechanically made not genetically," Liam said as the Beast kept roaring.

In turmoil it rips the face-off with its claws revealing Chase, he took a harsh breath, his face was embodied with red veins, his head bald.

"You," Liam said puzzled, he remembered the agent, the first agent he ever met, the very agent who was bent on killing him and his sister Jenna from the very beginning.

"Please," Chase said in tears, his head bent as tears fell.

"Make it stop, I can’t... I can’t live like this" he cried. "Renee," he sobbed. "I can’t face Renee and Rex like this... please make it stop" he cried more, the skin of the beast also consuming his head again.

"Chase," Riley said with sad eyes.

At the sound of her voice, he turned to her, and their eyes met, her eyes swelled in tears just by looking at him, just how much has he suffered just to beg for death?

"Do you what you ask of me?" Liam spoke and his eyes were back to him.

"It won’t stop," he shook his head. "I’d rather die than be a monster" he broke, because he could feel it, the monster was taking over again.

He shook his head more, because he knew it was only a matter of time and at his last breath he said words to the black ghoul he never thought he would utter because being a ghoul for weeks he understood the pain, he understood THEIR pain and what they have to live it, this was him seeing eye to eye.

"I’m sorry for everything," he said.

Liam’s hand changed to that of a Claw, black in color.

"I’m sorry too" he closed his eyes. "For everything".

The very first time they crossed each other flashed before their senses, as well as years as enemies, he knew it would turn out this way.

Liam flashed his eyes open and his claw hand went deep into his chest aiming at his own heart hiding deep inside.

Chase smiled as his body cracked. "Thank you" he murmured as blood spilled also.

His body broke to pieces, his heart turning to dust. Liam watches with sad eyes as everything about Chase Wyatt fades away.

Riley walks up to him behind.

"It’s today," Liam said, not turning to her. "This is Doomsday," he adds.

Her eyes shook at his words as the tears fell.

She walks up behind him, grabbing his black shirt from behind. She knew what she had to do, what this moment meant, she had to let go, but her hurting heart couldn’t take it.

Liam’s body was slowly consumed in darkness.

"I’m pregnant Liam, you’re gonna be a father," Riley said in tears.

Liam’s body stilled at the news, but then his orbs saddened, as a tear fell from one of them, the darkness proceeded to consume his entire body.

"Thank you, Riley," he said with a smile on his lips.

Her teary eyes meant his, the tears flowing down his cheeks but yet he smiled.

"Liam," she said in tears.

The darkness consumed him, going up in height and then black wings spreading, as he flew out.

"LIAM!!!" she screamed as she broke into tears, holding her chest as she cried and shouts in pain.

***

The shadow flew into the woods, where the agents were storming from, he halts right in front of them, and his void golden eyes landed on Vincent.

"Sir permission to fire," an agent said.

Vincent steps forward.

"Sir?"

"Let’s end this" Liam said in a demonic voice as he transforms into Omari, standing tall and high with his staff at hand.

Vincent shifts into a giant snake shocking the agents but before they could react he consumed them all as their shouts and screams covered the entire area, and then nothing but blood remained.

"We meet again Omari," Apophis said, hissing.

"Yes... and this is the end, for both of us," Omari said sternly.

Apophis chuckles.

"I’M COUNTING ON IT!" he roared, coming at him as they clashed in a heated battle that shook the earth, the cloud turned black as the lightning struck and the rain poured heavily.

***

The agents retreat as the news spreads of their monstrous captain, all losing the ability to fight as they retreat, the ghouls let them, seeing it was no use fighting them anymore.

Riley stood in the rain, her clothes drenched, her cheeks still wet with tears.

Anubis walks up behind and stands beside her.

"I shall remain with you Lady O’Brien, rest assured, even though I’m not permitted to touch the affairs I shall at least be by your side" he states.

The thunder strikes deeply at a particular area, signifying the battle between deities.

With clenched teeth, Riley ran in the direction.

"LADY O’BRIEN!" Anubis shouts.

"Liam," Riley said with tears in her eyes as she ran and ran, in the woods, the rain pouring nonstop and heavy, the thunder striking.

"Please Liam" she cried. "Please Liam I can’t lose you" she broke.

***

Liam fell to the ground, back to his human form, his body covered in blood.

Apophis snakes form against the ground, torn in two as it decayed.

Vincent was on the ground dead, his skin dried out in a mummy form, his mouth wide open like a hollow.

Liam’s weak eyes stared at the dark cloud, he was dying, he felt it and knew it was only a matter of time, and his body slowly cracked.

At that moment the skies clear as the bright blue skies come forth and the sun, he watches the scene with shaky eyes as tears slide at the corner of his eyes.

’Is this what it feels like to die?’ he thought.

’You have done well child’ Omari’s weak voice sounds in his head. ’It’s time to rest,’

Liam’s eyes slowly closed, ’Riley’ That was his last thought as darkness consumed him.
