Elisha · (05-28-2014)

Something isn't right. What's Eli doing here?

"Elisha. I told ya to remember my words. Hold onto them, because in them there is life. Eternal life."

Victor and Lacey both look confused. It's about time they join the club. Then I hear a familiar noise...

Choo Choo!

"Elisha? Oh, Elisha? Wake up. Wake up!"

Elisha wakes up with half a squirrel hanging from his mouth. He feels it still there and begins to chew it with Lacey looking at him.

"You fell asleep on me. You alright?"

"Wha.. What? W-W-Where a-a-are we?"

"We're in a train. Remember? We found out you had to defend your television title against Theo Pryce on Wednesday, so we decided to catch a train ride there. We got in one of these cars and you smelt squirrel. We both got on top of the train and you chased the squirrel and I chased you. You got it and we came back to rest until we got to Colorado. You must've been tired. You fell asleep while eating it and I just let ya go on sleepin'. You okay?"

"Y-Y-Yeah. I th-think s-so-so. B-B-Bad dre-drea-drea-dream."

There was never a doctor.. a psychiatrist.. Victor.. Britt.. or even Eli James. This was all one strange dream. It seems there was a key going throughout my dream that must be something. That key is fate. It was the thread through the entire amount of dreams. I guess fate brought me here and created me. It was where Eric Rex sits and waits to die. That would have been his life had I not gone with Eli. Fate revealed I would be far worse than where I am now. At least I have Lacey here. There... I would be alone. It comes circle to my match against Theo Pryce. In my dream he was the man that stole my wife away. He will not steal my television belt away. He did everything in his power to take Eli James away and to destroy everything I was meant to do, and now Eli is gone. Oddly, Theo's world and my world would by interact for a brief moment but we would be opposed face to face. It was often Eli and Theo. Now, he wants my belt and he wants to finish destroying anything that resembles that name or words of Eli James.

Mystica betrayed Eli, went with Theo, and then vanished. Theo was slowly killing off anyone or any thing that had a chance to return to spread Eli's message.

This is the final battle between us.

Theo Pryce will do anything to end the message Eli had preached since his arrival.

Theo will consider his job complete once he ends Eli's world.

It cannot happen. The message cannot be stopped. It will spread even without Eli. It must. I am still here which means Eli's word still remains.

It makes sense. Whether I chose to go the Eric Rex route or the Elisha route... Theo Pryce would have been involved in my life at some point. He would steal my love and make me kill my daughter and wife ... or he would steal the one who gave me meaning and purpose.. and steal the television title. In the world of Eric, Theo creates the monster. In the world of Elisha, Eli makes the monster.

It's fate that has brought Theo and I together to face off. It's bound to happen. It's just unfortunate. I now see my purpose.

"We should be there soon. I can't wait to watch you win again."

"D-D-Do you e-ever think ab-about E-E-Eli?"

"Sometimes I have dreams where he's talking to me."

"Wha-Wha-What's he say?"

"Mostly nonsense. Sometimes he tells me to remember his words."

"D-Do you ever rem-rememe-remember them?"

"Nah. Maybe a few things he says."

"Li-Like what?"

"He told me the end was here a few times. He'd ask how we was doing without him. He told me 'bout this lady named Britt. I don't know who she is."

"B-Br-Brit?"

"Uh huh. Ya know her?"

"I-I'm not sure."

"Alright. What made ya think about Eli anyway?"

"He w-was in my dreams."

"He tell you something?"

"I-I'm n-n-not sure. I'm c-confused."

"That's probably Eli then. You know how he talks. Don't worry, Elisha. He's gone. It's just you and me. You gonna beat Theo Pryce tonight and we gonna go celebrate."

"W-W-We got soft."

"What?"

"I rem-remember I w-was darker.. I was e-e-e-evil. P-Pe-People f-feared me. N-Now I'm a la-la-laughing stock."

"A lot of people fear you. They just make fun of the way you talk. Remember what Eli use to say? People would make up stuff or focus on obvious things or make fun of when they were really scared."

"O-Okay."

"Besides, you know what I heard?"

"What?"

"There's zombies."

"Z-Z-Zombies?"

"Yep. I hear zombies are real and there's a few making their way into America."

"W-Why are you t-t-telling me?"

"Celebration, Elisha. Zombies are use to hunting people. How often do you hear of zombies being hunted?"

"I am h-h-hun-hungry."

"So, zombie hunting after the match with Theo?"

"Y-Yes.."

Me hunting Zombies? It doesn't seem right, but it sure seems fun. Maybe killing zombies and eating a few of them will bring back the darkness in me. I need that darkness to survive this place. There's billions of people and 1 Elisha. I'm going to need to bring back the evil Eli talked about. People must fear me.

I was originally called the Prophet of Doom. Eli had told me I was to bring in judgment upon the Earth. I was to reveal the truth and that sin is dark. Sin creates evil. Sin is evil and evil is sin. Eli created me as sin to give everyone what they want.

The train finally comes to a stop as Elisha and Lacey arrive in Colorado.. the location of Wednesday Warfare's event. Elisha throws the remaining parts of the squirrel into some trees as they get off the train. The weather is nice and cool. There's not so many people where the train has stopped which is probably a good thing. Elisha's stomach continues to grow.

I guess me verses Theo is fate.
