Prolouge: Death
They say that when you are about to die, your life flashes before your eyes. The Purple Lightning, a master thief, never believed this.
He sure as hell did now.
"G-GET AWAY!" He screamed as he ran through the forest.
In his carreer as a thief, PL has always taken risks and made poor decisions.
But nothing like this.
He had entered the lair of a Dridder he'd stolen everything from...now he was paying the price.
"Heh-heh...♪you can't run for-e-ver♪..." The Dridder's voice echoed through the thick, chasing him like an enraged spirit.
"No! Leave me be!" PL screamed. He continued to blindly push his way through the thick. And that's when it happened. Already badly injured, he slipped an the muddy earth and fell on his back. He couldn't move. He could hardly breathe. His vision was leaving him...
"♪I'm gonna get-you, and when I do...♪" After taunting him, the Dridder made a gulping noise, and made sure she made it loud enough for him to hear. PL was afraid. He was trembling. But above all, the worst was the feeling of helplessness.
This is how Ryan Landers, the Purple Lightning is feeling right now.
And it may very well be the last time he feels at all.
