Phase 28
Flames






The legacy of Vicious smeared the grounds of the building in a crimson pool, which spilled from his cranium. Just seconds after the bullet sounded, Vicious 2 dropped the gun, and watched his father close his eyes, for his eternal rest. Drops of blood landed on little Julius's face, and he stared down at the death, devastated at what he had just seen. He was speechless, his heart had almost stopped, but he could not stop staring at his grandfather's gore. Brittany looked down from the building with relief, as she saw her child still alive.

The roof was just a preview of the carnage that blemished the stairs, and the massacre that spread throughout the entire auditorium. Brittany helped Melanie to her feet; she had fully healed from being shot. There was nothing she could do for the man with green hair, he was long gone.
"Thank you, sir," Brittany said, looking back at the dead man, who saved her son from being shot. Melanie got up, and walked into the office, and she walked over to the casket, where Milky's body lay. She saw the uniform that Vicious draped him in, and she ripped the shirt from under the overcoat off. She saw a gaping a hole on Milky's abdomen.
"I'm sorry, Milky," Melanie said, and looked at her dead brother-in-law. She kissed his cheek, and proceeded to take the uniform off of him, he was to be buried with Vicious 2. Brittany followed, shortly with Cindy still in her arms.
"Poor, Milky," Brittany sighed heavily, a small tear showed up on her face.
"He is going to be put to rest properly," Melanie said.

Malkav and Patches appeared behind them, with beer in their hands.
"Damn, Patches, we're too late," Malkav stumbled over to Melanie and Brittany. "Dammit, that's the last time, I go out drinking with you," Malkav said, turning over to Patches. Patches was too intoxicated to speak, and he fell to the floor face first.
"Looks like Vicious got to Milky before we could all save him," Malkav said.
"Yeah, not even Vici could save him," Melanie said.
"Bingo, couldn't save himself," Malkav said. "Milky is not dead though," Malkav implied.
"But look at the hole in his stomach," Melanie said.
"Milky is insane, human deficiencies aren't a factor in his world," Malkav explained, and poured his beer on Milky's face. Milky's eyes opened before the beer hit his face, and caught the beer in his mouth. Milky took the beer from Malkav, and poured it on his wound, and the hole in his stomach filled with new flesh. He got up and gave Malkav thumbs up. Melanie was dumbstruck, and she nearly drooled when Milky was resurrected.


Zero made his way upstairs, not knowing that it was too late to save his father. He was nervous, he thought about how it would be, if he had to fight Vicious alone. He cocked his pistol, and pushed forward, until he met up with Melanie and the others.
"Where is my father?" He asked.
"The man with that had the green hair?" Brittany asked.
"Yes," Zero replied. "Is he ok?"
"No, he's not, Julius's father killed him," Brittany said. "I'm so sorry."
"Don't be, he knew he was going to die, if only I could of been here on time," Zero said, sadly.
"He managed to get rid of Vicious as well," Melanie added.

Vicious 2 was slowly fading away, by the time Melanie got to him. She saw his glazed over eyes, and she ran over to him, and got on her knees.
"Vici!” You're alive, I thought you had died after falling from the building twice," Melanie said.
"Well, Melanie, I want to thank you for all of the years we have spent together," Vicious 2 said, and grasped her little hand into his.
"What are you talking about, Vici? You're going to make it," Melanie stressed.
"No, he's not," Malkav interrupted.
"Shut up, Malkav!" Melanie snapped.
"Melanie, he's right, there is no way I am going to live, my body is crushed, and my heart is ripped," Vicious 2 said.
"Bingo, you’re going to return, why? I don't know, but Garnett, has told me that you must go to hell," Malkav pulled his .454 out of his coat, and cocked it.
"Alright, Malkav, but let me say my goodbyes first," Vicious 2 said.
"Fine with me," Malkav said, and pointed the gun at Vicious 2.
"I love all of you, but don't cry for me, I deserve to die. I don't deserve to return, but it seems that Garnett has given me another chance," Vicious 2 pulled Melanie to him, and he kissed her passionately. "Malkav, follow your orders. You know you're Garnett's bitch," Vicious 2 said with a smirk. Malkav glared at Vicious 2, and shot him in the head. "Bitch," Malkav said, with his finger still wrapped around the trigger. A sick smile came across Cindy's little face, as she watched her father being shot.

Vicious 2 ended up at heaven's gates. The gates were golden, and surrounded by clear diamonds. Behind the gates was a paradise it seemed, filled with flowers, and greenery. The sun beamed down on this beautiful place, and showed a mansion or fortress it would seem. The angels played at the entrance of this fortress, and when they saw Vicious 2, they flew away in fear. Vicious 2 touched the gates, and they singed his hand, and he had no access to this wonderland. Realizing this wasn’t the place destined for him to be, he turned to leave. One of the angels flew up to the gate from a far distance.
“Julius,” the angel called.
“Yes,” Vicious turned to the angel, to see Cindy’s pretty face. She was draped in all white, with a golden halo over her head, and her wings were long and very strong looking. She had an ivory aurora around her, and her silky red hair hung low, and free. Vicious 2 ran back to the gates, and tried to pry them open with all of his strength. His hands were being ripped apart, but no matter how bad the burn, he continued to pull at the gates. Cindy pushed the gates open easily, and flew into Vicious 2’s arms.
“I’ve been watching over you, Julius,” Cindy smiled, and kissed Vicious 2.
“I have been lost without you,” Vicious 2 said softly.
“Congratulations on your daughter, do you want to see your first child?” Cindy asked.
“Yes I do,” Vicious 2 replied. One of the angels brought a newborn child to Vicious 2 and Cindy.
“I named her Julia,” Cindy said. Vicious 2 smiled and held the child in his arms.
“She looks just like you,” Vicious 2 said.
“But she has your eyes,” Cindy said.
“Yeah, I guess all of my children have that curse,” He looked at his child’s eyes, and they cut through him like a dagger.
“Yeah, they are my eyes,” Vicious 2 said. Cindy laughed and ruffled Vicious 2’s dirty hair. The clouds that Vicious 2 was standing on, gave way, and Vicious 2 began to be sucked into the place where he belonged. The other angel caught the baby, and Cindy grabbed Vicious 2’s hand.
“I wish you could stay, Julius,” Cindy began to cry, and she kissed Julius’s lips.
“I’m sorry, Cin,” he pulled her close, and kissed her before letting go, and falling to his destiny.


He landed in the pits of hell, where the fire blazed furiously, and hot ash fumed the air. It looked like a playground that only Vicious would play around in. Vicious 2 was then escorted by two demons, to this large mansion, that was opposite from the one he saw at the gates of heaven. The mansion was still white, but the windows showed the outside where red lightening roared in an eternal darkness that burned severely. The demons carried Vicious 2 into the mansion, and the first thing he saw was Vicious and Maria being judged. Vicious turned around to see his son facing him once again.
“Julius, welcome home,” Vicious said.
“Hello, Father and Mother,” Vicious 2 said.
“Oh, hi sweetie,” Maria said, while holding Vicious’ hand. This elegant blonde woman draped in a dark blue dress, sat at a stand, looking down upon Vicious and his bride.
“Vicious, your soul belongs, and will reside in the very last layer of hell, where you will be tortured for an eternity,” the blonde woman said, and scratched her long and curly hair.
“My soul has already been tortured, there is nothing you can do to cause more pain than I have already endured,” Vicious stated.
“Think what you will, you damned fool,” the blonde woman said. She turned away from Vicious, and looked down at Maria.
“Maria you’ve killed for this man standing next to you, you will suffer the same fate as he,” She said. Maria looked up at the blonde woman, and smiled.
“Why, thank you mam,” Maria said, happily.
“Wait!” Vicious 2 yelled, and ran over to his mother. “Don’t send her away, she did nothing to no one on her own will, send her back up to heaven,” Vicious 2 said.
“Julius, stop your ignorance,” Vicious said.
“Please let her go,” Vicious 2 begged the beautiful blonde woman.
“Are you willing to make a sacrifice?” she asked, while looking at Maria, who was making circles on Vicious’ cheek with her finger.
“Yes, I am, I will do anything,” Vicious 2 said.
“Well, you won’t be down here for an eternity, because you’re Garnett’s new play thing. So, I will let her go, if you serve here in hell for twenty years,” the lady said. Vicious swallowed hard, and looked down; all he could think about was Melanie and his daughter.
“Fine, I will do it, exchange me for my mother,” Vicious 2 said.
“So, be it,” the lady said. A young looking girl wearing a blue tanktop and a large symbol around her neck came out. She had red eyes, and frizzy hair, and she favored Garnett just a little. “Amirie, are the new arrivals ready?” the girl asked the woman at the stand.
“Yes, they are. Take him first,” Amirie pointed at Vicious. “Then contact the angel of heaven to come get this woman,” Amirie ordered.
“Of course,” the young girl began to escort Vicious to his fate.
“Death, don’t try anything weird with this one,” Amirie commanded the young girl.
“Ok,” Death said.
“Maria, you’re not going to leave me, are you?” Vicious asked while being taken away.
“No, I’m not, Vicious,” Maria said, and started to run after Vicious. Vicious 2 jumped in her way, and caught her in his arms.
“You’re going where you belong, you will never have to see Vicious again,” Vicious 2 said.
“Really, Julius, I don’t have to see him anymore?” Maria asked with her mouth forming a smile.
“Yes, mother, now go,” Vicious 2 said as an angel came to get Maria. Vicious broke away from Death, and ran after Maria, but Vicious 2 was standing right in his way. He socked Vicious as hard as his fist would let him. Vicious hit rock bottom on the floor, and watched as the angel took Maria away.
“I love you, Julius,” Maria said, and waved at Vicious 2. Death walked over to Vicious, and grabbed him.
“Time for the torture,” Death said, and she took him out of the mansion and into the depths of hell.


Amirie got up from the stand, and walked over to Vicious.
“Your journey begins here, and Garnett is your mentor,” Amirie stated.
“That’s fine with me,” Vicious 2 said. Amirie nodded at took him through the halls of the mansion.
