Deadman Apocalypse Page #3

and a lockdown was

triggered to contain it.

But the bomb makers

were unable to evacuate,

they were sealed inside

the roaring furnace,

surrounded entirely

by crate upon crate

of the explosives

they had created.

When the fire burned out

and all was smoke and ash,

they returned to the ruined

lab expecting to find the

group of charred corpses, but

that is not what they found.

- What did they find?

- When the bone is burned,

the skin disintegrated

and the blood grew

thick and sticky

and the bone soft

like candle wax.

As they melted in the

heat they fused together

into one monstrous mutation,

a vengeful creature

that came to be

know as Cascabell.

Divine knowledge of

all these bomb makers

made for the most

lethal dynamite maker

in the whole of

Labyrinthia, but now he

works for the master,

even he fears Cascabell.

- I'll do it.

I'll go.

- No.

- Wait, wait.

Maybe Cascabell wouldn't

harm masters own son.

- You can get the dynamite?

- Then be careful and be quick.

- Wish I could've helped, but

you made the right choice.

- I have a bigger task for you.

- You better kill me now

than ask me to do this.

- I'm not asking.

- Beautiful.

- Yes, Brogdale.

How dare you disturb my slumber.

Is this some kind of sick joke?

What are you doing?

- Nothing.

- Nothing?

- Just a spot of spring

cleaning, milord.

- In the middle of

the f***ing night?

- One wouldn't

want one's chamber

to become infested

with rats, sire.

- The only rats in this

chamber, Brogdale, is you!

- I'm sorry, master.

- I am not your master,

I am your enemy!

- I got the dynamite

and I got his fire maker.

- Find the tunnel below,

watch out for dripping water.

- Okay.

- Stand far back from the

drips, you understand?

Wait for us there.

Hold this.

- Dynamite isn't gonna

blow open that door,

I've been here ten

years, you don't think

I've tried that already?

Jack?

- We're not getting

out through the door.

Give me the dynamite.

Get back against the wall.

- Jack what are you doing?

- Just trust me Alba.

- Are you okay?

- Brogdale!

Brogdale!

- The master is in the tunnels,

we must hurry or we

trapped in this labyrinth.

- Death blasters.

- That way, quick!

- Mom!

- Tegu!

Tegu!

No, no, no, no, no,

- It's too late Alba, he's gone.

- Get off of me.

- We can't go back, I'm sorry.

- We must hurry.

- We have to go

back he's your son!

He's your son!

I was pregnant before we

entered this f***ing death maze.

I couldn't let you

do the mission alone

if they knew I was

pregnant with you baby.

- Does he know?

- I told him every single day.

- Is there a way?

- You'll never make it back.

- But is there a way?

- Of course.

- One, two, three, four, five,

once I caught a fish alive.

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

then I let him go again.

Why did you let him go?

Because it bit my finger so.

Which finger did it bite?

This little finger on the right.

One, two, three, four, five,

- Tegu!

- Why did you let him go?

Because it bit my finger so.

Which finger did it bite.

This little finger on the right.

Seems they've left

you behind, Tegu.

Left you with your father.

- I am not your son!

- From the moment you

slithered out from

between your mothers

bloody thighs,

you were mine!

I may not be your father,

though not from

my lack of trying,

but your life

belongs to me, Tegu.

I decide when you

sleep, when you eat,

if you live.

If you...

die.

And I've made my decision,

son.

- Tegu!

- Tegu!

- Dad, you came back.

- I'll get you out

of here, I promise.

- You can't, we're trapped.

- No Tegu,

even the rats find a way out,

remember?

Go, quickly, go!

- Not without you, Jack.

- I have to finish this.

- What if you don't make it out?

What if we never see you again?

- Don't look for me,

don't wait for me Alba.

Just promise me

you'll never give up.

Promise me you'll find a way.

- I promise.

- It's too late Jack!

You'll never get

out of Labyrinthia!

- Now it's your turn

Ramses, to watch your world

go up in flames.

- This is it, Tegu.

The old world.

- All this should

be desert and ruins.

- But it's not.

We made it.

Sh, sh, sh, it's

okay, it's okay.

Let mummy see, let me see.

See?

It's not bad, okay?

It's not as bad as it looks.

- It hurts.

- Okay.

- It's bleeding.

- It's okay.

Now look, you've gotta

stay brave, okay?

Okay brave like your father.

Sh, okay, listen,

listen, listen,

we have the whole

earth, just you and me,

the whole world, okay?

Just need to rest.

- What about Jack?

- You feel that?

- It's warm.

- I thought it was

getting hotter the closer

we got to the sun but...

it's cold here.

The heat was coming

from Labyrinthia.

- What about Jack?

What about my father?

- He stayed in Labyrinthia.

He stayed down there, he

destroyed Labyrinthia,

he defeated Ramses so that

we could be free up here.

- So he'll never be with us.

- He is with us, Tegu, okay?

- We should keep moving,

explore what's out there,

in case there's others.

Bad others.

- I think we left all

the bad others behind,

but you're right.

We should keep moving.

- Stop.

Listen, listen Alba.

- What is it?

- There's water, it's

actually running water.

And to think it was right

here, all this time.

Do you know what those are?

- No.

- They're trees.

- What are they for?

- Well when there's sunlight

and water things grow.

Means they can live.

But it means there's a

light here for us too.

You know, when I was a little

girl, I was about your age,

I used to climb all

the way to the top.

I'd race the boys and

I'd win, of course.

- Did you ever reach the sky?

- Clouds are a lot further

away than you think.

Brogdale!

We should get going,

build a fire before

the darkness comes.

Come on let's go

find somewhere safe.

- Do you think there

are others out there?

- I don't know, Brogdale.

There must be if we got out.

- Do you think there

are women out there?

- I hope so.

- If there's none,

perhaps it'd be up to us

to repopulate the earth.

- There will be others.

You know, it was really brave

what you did back there.

I haven't had the

chance to say thank you.

- I wasn't brave.

I was just tired of the

master, I mean Ramses.

Tired of being his slave.

- We were all slaves

in Labyrinthia.

And you had as much of

a hand in our escape

as everyone else.

- I should've killed myself

when I had the chance.

I never believed

we could get out.

Never.

- You took a leap of

faith and it paid off.

- Will Tegu be okay?

- He took a hit by

Ramses death blaster

but he'll make it.

- He's tough, just

like his mother.

- I don't know, another

year in that underworld

and I'm pretty sure

I would've given up.

- I'm glad you didn't.

Believing you could

do, that's why we won.

- If we sleep will

you watch over us?

- I'll watch you

sleep all night.

I've done it many times,

for protection anyway.

I must stay awake.

- Dad?

Dad?

- Seems you were

right about me, Tegu.
