Journey: The Delta Version

Chapter Thirteen: The Fear

Chapter Thirteen: The Fear

Mar 30, 2019

Once the sun had set, the gang decided to rest. After all, having a gigantic worm chasing you and all your friends is really tiring.

Jacquie went to sleep, hoping for a dreamless night.

//////////////////////////////

Hello, Jacquelynn.

A voice resonated throughout the black void Jacquie found herself floating in.

Hello, Jacquelynn, it said again.

Jacquie tried to speak, but it felt like her mouth was wired shut. She thought, Who is this guy?

I'm Kyle, he said. 

Why is it so dark in here? Jacquie thought.

Oh, the voice said, I believe I should, lighten up the situation, eh?

The dark void was lifted into, well, a white void. and Jacquie was now sitting in a soft, white chair. In the chair in front of her, was a tall, blonde man in a bright, neon tuxedo. He wore a three-pointed bowtie with stripes and polka dots. Fuchsia pants lead down to his orange shoes. He looked at Jacquie and she saw that he had blue-green cat eyes.

"How are you?" he asked.

Jacquie was now able to speak. "What is this place?" she asked. "And why do you look like something the eighty's puked on?"

"Ignoring the insult," Kyle said, "This is the mindscape. We're inside your little head. Weird, isn't it?"

The void broke away and revealed tons of Jacquie's memories. They floated like picture frames in a dark abyss. Jacquie remembered some of them.

Jacquie found a memory from a few years back during her first year at her new school. Her teacher had just realized the class rabbit, Oliver, was actually a girl, and so the class renamed her Ollie. Jacquie and one other girl insisted that her name should be Olive instead. Jacquie noticed the memory glowed brightly as she remembered it. 

"Now that you know that," Kyle said as the white void returned, "It's time for your choice." The walls turned a soothing shade of blue.

"My choice in what?" Jacquie asked.

"You have two options," he said.

That's kind of how choices work, Jacquie thought.

"Hey," Kyle shouted, "I don't need to take that kind of jazz from you or your boyfriend!"

"Jazz?" Jacquie questioned. "And what do you mean, boyfriend? Are you talking about Kyran?"

Kyle shook his head and said, "No, no. It's not this you. It's hard existing as an interuniversal being, because whenever you decide to travel to a different universe for a month and you spend it with your friends whom all looked like they stepped out of a 50's film, you get really confused when you see them all again in your prime dimension wearing their usual garments and having their normal names."

Jacquie stared at Kyle blankly.

"Sorry," he said, more to himself than Jacquie. "Forgot my intimidating public image."

He turned to Jacquie and said, "You are going to be shown someone's ultimate fear. Your choice is to either be shown your own ultimate fear, or one of your friends' ultimate fear."

He started to float to the ceiling and said, "Take as much time as you—"

"I choose the second one," Jacquie said.

"Woah," Kyle muttered as he floated down. "She took much longer the first time…"

"What do you mean, ‘first time'?" Jacquie said.

Kyle didn't pay any attention to her. He said, "Great. I hope you're ready to see Sunset's ultimate fear!"

"Who's Sunset?" Jacquie asked. "And why are you so confusing?"

"Hey, ask me again when Spark's arc is, okay?" Kyle said.

"What?!"

Kyle shook his head, snapped his fingers, and everything became black once more.

Knock-off Bill Cipher makes a guest appearance. Oh and I guess something spooky is supposed to happen.

Okay, so I would like to go over Kyle's powers and such. One, I have realized the fact he appears in some random rock in the desert is super weird and I will change that one day. Two, if you need ANY help imagining him, look up "human bill", graffiti my description over him and make his hair stick up. And the third thing I want to go over his powers. He *I stole* has some powers similar to Bill's (floating, relations with the mind, possession crypticness and sarcasm), but he has limited power. Like Bill, he can only show up in the minds of people, or in his home/dimension. He cannot do anything on a scale of Weirdmaggedon because I can limit, change, and can control the extent of his powers AT ANY TIME WITHIN THE SERIES and it would all be within the canon. That's because of Kyle's other power, being Deadpool. In other words, that means he can break the fourth wall and knows of his existence in this series. That's why he refers to "Spark's arc" , "She took longer the first time [in the very first version of this]", and even the boyfriend comment. He kind of has to obey my command, hoping I don't take away his power at any time.

Did I mention he's a BIG fan of psychological horror?
See you next week!

A magical boy from another dimension needs the help of the chosen ones, so he takes them on a journey to save his home planet.

I want suggestions on how to make this a better series. I will post what I have to you and if I feel like I've made enough revisions, I will make an official series here. I have been developing this for several inexperienced years, so don't expect anything too good. Well, what are you waiting for? READ IT NOW!
