Action; Downtown Mayfield

[Under most circumstances, working in alliance with one of Mayfield's own would have been out of the question. Certainly Jack Smith was no friend, but perhaps he wasn't an enemy, either. Believing in his phone call may be stupid, but at this time Slugger has little to believe in anymore. If all he had to do was impart tremendous damage long enough to allow Smith to restore the revival system, Slugger would gladly oblige. Anything to bring back his best friend and his mother.

On a street corner in downtown Mayfield stands a boy facing a world with no rules. His gaze is set to the west where a row of shops and businesses line the street leading up to the police station several blocks away. This is where he will begin, consequences be damned. If he discovered later that Jack Smith had lied, he would come for Jack Smith.

Soon, the boy begins to grow tall, wide and monstrous, until his body erupts into a dark mass, thick and muddy and still growing. Larger and larger it becomes, reaching the size of a house in short time. Black, nebulous arms reach for the nearest building, latching onto the walls before rolling over and slowly crushing the structure beneath its weight. Glass, metal, concrete --- all succumb to utter demolition. A large explosion may be heard, muted under the pressure surrounding it. Once the first building has been reduced to a flattened heap of smoldering rubbish, the darkness simply rolls onward without stop to the one immediately beside it.]

Action; Police Station

[Outside the police station, the earth rumbles as impending destruction comes its way. The nearest building has been slowly enveloped and crushed beneath the relentless mass of darkness. Ignoring traffic, it crosses the street like a tsunami in slow motion, pushing vehicles and debris with it as it crawls toward its intended target...]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He's between returning to how he usually is and still stuck in part in his utter fear. The Major was preparing to go on his beat, when he catches sight of the tsunami coming forward. And just stands there.

In part in shock. In terror. And in part? In just his general interest to see what'll happen.]

[It rises up like a small tidal wave and barrels directly forward, engulfing trees, cars and lampposts in its path. Better make up your mind fast, Major, it's coming straight for you.]

[He watches a bit more, a scant few seconds longer, before diving into his car and starting the engine. He keeps looking at the tidal wave, a mix of entertainment and interest and genuine fear covering his face before he can get the engine going, trying to find a way out before the wave descends.]

[Perhaps if the Major were someone else -- anyone else -- Slugger would be willing to spare him. But as it is, the black wave encroaches swiftly to envelop the vehicle and sweep it easily forward en route to the police station. Every window of the car is suddenly blackened, glass trembling beneath the immense pressure of the darkness pressing in from outside.]

[Well shit.

The Major just sits dumbly for a moment before putting down the pedal as hard as he can.]

[It's the same effect as spinning one's tires in thick tar-- nothing happens. The police car, now out of control and probably not even touching the ground, moves with the current of the churning blackness. Ominous sounds of metal and glass being slowly warped begin to fill the car.

This is when the Major will feel a light tug on his shoulder. In the passenger seat sits a grinning boy with a ball bat, his eyes glistening with an unhinged gleam.]

[The Major looks back. And smiles, as usually. But unlike usual, he's only partially in control this time. It's hard to mask the annoying sense of fear he's developed and that's begun to recede over the week. Hard and irritating.]

My!

Have you been back there the entire time young man?

[Slugger's grin only spreads farther across his face as a crack begins to form in the windshield. Without answering, he raises his bat then deliberately strikes the windshield. Thick black ooze rushes in, filling the car with suffocating force. Unfortunately for the Major, it does nothing to absorb the impact as the car is hurled into the side of the police station.]

[The Major's eyes go wide, and the sound he produces is caught somewhere between a laugh and a scream of fear as the car hurtles towards the police station, smashing against the side.

It's uncertain if the the sound of squealing metal is from the car alone at first sight or from damage done to the Major himself, but the concussion he's just received from the force is enough to ensure he won't be moving for a while.]

[Slugger soon realizes that slamming himself into the police station along with several vehicles has made no impact on the building. Frustrated, he discards the debris and repeatedly attempts to crush the station, even assuming a vaguely human form with a massive baseball bat which he uses to smash at the building. When the police station proves indestructible, the entire black mass vanishes without a trace. The Major is left inside his overturned and battered car on the station's doorstep.]

[Mart was in the middle of eating a fire hydrant when-

oh shit. What the fuck is that. Mart'll start backing off as the darkness approaches.]

[Though the mass is moving slowly, it takes very little time for it to devour the next building in its path before reaching the street. It seems to pause there and, spotting Mart in close proximity, it whips a large black tendril in his direction to push him farther out of its way.]

WHAT THE

[And Mart is flung by the tentacle into some nearby houses, breaking through the walls. He'll immediately run back out and back toward The Darkness.]

[Upon Mart's return the ooze builds itself up into a towering, man-shaped column wielding what appears to be a black baseball bat, which it then swings down to demolish one side of a building.]

Aw shit....

It's YOU!

[Wow. That's one hell of a baseball bat you got there Slugger.

Gonna just... sidestep you...]

[The voice captures its attention and, though it has no eyes or face, it turns to look at Mart. Slugger briefly contemplates shooing him away again but figures that as long as Mart stays where he is, all should be fine. So, turning away, he continues smashing the rest of the building into the ground.]
