Professor: The Knights of Hallow Chapter 5

Professor: The Knights of Hallow

Chapter 5: The Phantom

-----

Professor woke up in a dark room, chained to a chair. He could feel a sharp pain in his chest.

 

Professor (thinking): Feels like some of my ribs are broken. And my left arm…

 

???: Ah, Professor! I am so glad you are here. No, I am not. I wish you were not here! I have been looking forward to meeting you. Who would ever want to meet you?

 

Professor (thinking): Hmm, he must have some kind of personality disorder.

 

???: Welcome to the Manor! The home of the Knights of Hallow. You are not welcome here! Leave my home now! We need to have a chat about something.

 

The mysterious man turned on the light and walked up to Professor. The man was wearing normal looking clothes but had a metal mask covering half of his face. He was listening to music through some earbuds. The volume was very loud, and Professor could hear what was playing: opera.

 

Professor: The Phantom of the Opera. So, what part do you play in all of this?

 

Phantom: I am the leader of this organization. Isn’t that obvious you fool!

 

Professor: Forgive me, but I do not think of you as the leader of this.

 

Phantom: Well, I will admit that I have my issues. Especially with the other guy… But I am not really the leader. I am more of a temporary leader, as we wait for our true leader.

 

Professor: Really? And who would that be?

 

Phantom: Well, we can’t really tell you that. Yes, we can! No, we can’t! What is he gonna do? He’s chained to this chair, and the process has already begun. Hmm perhaps you are right. Very well. You do it then. Coward. Our true leader is known as Dracula

 

Professor: Dracula…

 

Phantom: Let us tell you a story, Professor. Many years ago, the Knights of Hallow ruled the world. They were led by the great Dracula, who, wasn’t actually a vampire… But he did have similar powers, in that he could live longer by draining the life from others, fly, and control minds. However, all those years ago, someone defeated Dracula. No one knows who, but it was done. I sure would like to know who… excuse me, I’m telling the story! Anyway, I reformed the Knights of Hallow recently, with the purpose of bringing him back. And we are almost successful! And there is nothing you can do to stop it! Why would you tell him that? We are doing this by finding one of his descendants with his blood and turning him to our side with genetic and mental manipulation. Dracula left for his followers’ instructions on how to bring him back. We had to wait for the proper candidate to show himself, and turns out, he was a rookie in the Flickr Fighters.

 

Professor: You… you are trying to change my rookie… into Dracula?!

 

Phantom: hahahaha… yes Professor. And we will be successful.

 

Professor suddenly leaped out of his chair and pinned the Phantom to the ground.

 

Phantom: How- how did you escape?!

 

Professor: You talk too much. And, you forget, I am an escape artist. Now, one of you tell me where my rookie is!

 

Phantom: You underestimate me Professor. You think you have already won, but your overconfidence will be your downfall.

 

A black vapor started emitting from the exposed part of Phantom’s face. Then, Phantom was able to knock Professor off of him and stand up. The vapor went down to his arms and wrapped around them, forming fists.

 

Phantom: We have never been beaten in hand-to-hand before. And we don’t plan on starting now!

 

Professor stood up and prepared for battle. He knew he had to finish this quickly, for his rookie’s sake.
