“ Say good night ”
Ryan Link or ‘Nightmare’ is an assassin and former member of The fallen shadows, a ninja based cult who kill children‘s parents and recruit them to make them to do the same sick minded things they do.
Origin[]
The day that Ryan Link would become Nightmare took place on a foggy, gloomy night in his sub-erbium neighbourhood. Ryan and his parents had just went to sleep at that point when, Ryan awoke to the end of his nightmare. He got up heavily breathing and wiped the sweat from his head. He’d been having the same horrible dream for the past week now and no matter what he did there was no way of forgetting it. He was awake and could not fall back to sleep so to cure his boredom, he sat at his desk and booted up his PC to take his mind off it. Mid way through playing though, he heard a sound, not just any sound though. It was like someone opened the front door. That’s when he realised “ God damn it I forgot to lock the door ”.
He became very nervous now that someone he did not know was in his house. He grabbed his baseball bat and proceeded slowly and cautiously down the stairs. When he made it to the bottom he looked round the corner and saw a man walking around the living room. And he had a gun! The man wore a black rat mask and was dressed head to toe in black. Ryan ran back up stairs and woke his parents up, warning them that there was an intruder.
Ryan’s dad took the bat off him “ Wait here and be quiet I’m going to check... ”. Before he could even finish, at the end of the door stood the rat man and he shot Ryan’s dad in the back. His mother let out a scream and soon later she too was shot. The man took off running and jumped out the window. Ryan ran to window only to see that the man had ran off into the distance. Ryan sat there for awhile crying knowing there was nothing he could do except crying.
Ryan didn’t even call the police, he just kept crying. Some time passed where he wiped his eyes and got up. He left his home and moved up state to find a new place to live. He found a local children’s home where he could stay as long as he liked. The only problem was there were bullies who also stayed there. Ryan knew they were trouble and tried to avoid them at all costs.
One day though, the bullies decided to steal a photo of Ryan’s parents. Ryan was sitting on his bed and was looking at the photo when one of them snatched it. “ Hey give me that back you bastard ” screamed Ryan. It was the only thing he had left of his dead parents and he wasn’t going to give it to some fucking creep who will probably rip it up. “ If you want it come and get it ” said the kid pulling a large kitchen knife from behind his back. Ryan charged at the kid punching him in the face.
He grabbed the knife and stabbed him in the leg causing him to cry out and let go of Ryan. The other bully ran at him but, Ryan dodged and kicked the kid in the ball and then punched him in the face making him fall back. At that point he knew he would have to leave and began packing. Suddenly, he was stopped by another kid. “ Follow me ”. Ryan had no idea where he would be led to but, he followed without hesitation.
They ran down the street cutting through ally ways and hoping fences at full speed. Eventually, they came to an abandoned factory that was well hidden and in the more poor side of town. “ In here ” said the kid leading the way. “ I saw what you did back there and I’m pretty impressed ”. “ That is why I’ve brought you here ”. “ Where are we ” replied Ryan sounding confused.
“ This old factory is secretly used for a cult that train like the ninja and have no where to stay ”. “ Like you, many of us have lost our parents and we join here to train and get revenge on those who make our lives sorrowful ”. “ Wait, I can stay here and train? ” asked Ryan. “ Of course ” replied the kid. “ I’m Jake but, many people here call me Python, I will be your personal trainer and teach you everything I know ”.
“ Here you’ll need this too ” Jake handed Ryan a mask and a small cardboard box. It was a Raven’s head and looked kind of cool but, also intimidating. Ryan opened the box and unraveled a black cloak, a pair of metal gauntlets and a tactical backpack. “ You’ll sleep here and training begins tomorrow at dawn ”. Ryan laid down and tried to get some shut eye for his big day tomorrow.
The next day Ryan was now a pro in hand-to-hand combat and knew how to operate an AMACA 16 (M16). As the days went on so did Ryan’s training and when he turned 17 he now knew everything that he needed to take vengeance on his parent’s killer. He knew that the man lived in the posher part of town and headed there, doing parkour to reach his destination as quickly as possible. He climbed down to the window of his apartment and punched through the glass. He jumped in and aimed his 12 gage shotgun to the hallway that stretched before him. There sat the man on his couch watching his tv.
Ryan shot a round at the screen and shouted “ FREEZE ”. “ Remember me? ”. The man looked at Ryan with fear and confusion. " Who are you " replied the man. " Don't you remember, you killed my parents ". " What are you going to do to me?" cried the man. " I'm gonna make you feel exactly how you feel " replied Ryan cocking his shotgun.
Ryan pointed the gun to the man's head and pulled the trigger causing his head to blow up. Ryan fled the scene and went off to kill other kid's parents. He does this to teach them that the world isn't fair.
