The rain had only just stopped pouring over the polluted skies of Sunway on that weird evening. Cold winds brought along by the rain swept through the streets like a chilling breeze which seems to whisper death in it's wake, and truthful enough death does seem to be near. At least that is the case in Eugene's mind. He came to find for a friend to push around, he came driven by a peer of his that goes back to the time when they were still bummers. But now all he finds in front of him is something that seems rather familiar yet distant, never in his entire life would he even thought till this day that he would see what he sees standing in front of his miserable lonely squint-like eyes.
Ronny : Run? Then my car how? Ciao with the car la...
Eugene : You think there is time to step in the car ? What is he gonna let us just waltz to the car?.. now, on 3, just like CS, we run backwards, don't argue with me.
Ronny : So you're the genius la now? all my life I've never listened to you. What makes you think I would start now?
Eugene : LISTEN TO ME!!! NOW!!!!!
Staring and grinning down at them as they were arguing is what seems to be an apparition, 7 foot tall, draped in black hooded cloth which was once used by Cult of Apothecaries back at the era when the Roman Empire was nearly the ruler of all the civilized lands of the earth. Usually, when someone even of this size were to wear something as ridiculous as this would be laughed upon by the likes of Ronny and Eugene, but this was no laughing matter to anyone of them. This is because that 7 foot giant standing in front of them bears the exact same face and features of Eugene, the only difference which separates that thing when compared to Eugene is the fact that the 'thing' is looking ridiculously scary with the black hooded apparel, giving away the most sinister smile the both of them had ever seen in their entire life and also the fact that the 'thing' was at least a foot taller than Eugene.
Ronny : Why is this fucker scaring you for? You don't look at the mirror when you wake up wan ark? Your face that scary is it? He looks just like you, he may even be your long lost twin la.
Eugene: AiyoooJorjorjorjoRJOjor, I can swear to you on my own fucking grave I have no such twin! Why are we arguing now? Why must you always fucking correct me and argue even at times like this?! RONNY PLEASE!! Chin Huei is missing and this fucker is here out of nowhere! there must be something thats fucked up! CIAO!!!
Ronny : Well maybe theres an explanatio-.......
Before Ronny could complete his sentence, Eugene's fears were realized as the apparition came after them with a scythe that was drawn almost as if out of the darkness. The 'thing' went lashing at Ronny first, but due to years the of experience dodging basketballs and even cigarette smoke that was blown out by his friend's for fear of dying after inhaling second hand smoke, he evaded the scythe that was swung down at him with relative ease. Eugene too quickly grabbed Ronny's hand and ran out Chin Huey's porch to the neighborhood streets of Sunway. Though now somehow the streets seemed abandoned and worn out, the buildings around them looks as if they've been blasted and torn down into pieces, only rubbles remain of Chin Huei's house as they looked back while running. Eugene felt a great chill ran down his spine as he looked at the destruction and the desolate scenery around him, for as he was realizing the more differences around him a thought inside him came to be evermore true " Is this hell? ". Ronny however seems to not be taking notice of squat about the turn of events surrounding him.
Ronny : Fucker... the fella old school balls... people use parang he go and use that grass cutter thing to chop me.. how can he chop me?!?! I AM PRO WEIH!!! FOOO!!! *shows his superman hand pose while running *
Eugene : SHUT UP!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE STILL JOKING AT A TIME LIKE THIS!!!
Ronny : CHILL LA!!! I'M SCARED ALSO WEIH!!! BUT YOU MUST CHILL!!! WHATS THE STRESS!!! BE LIKE ME RONNY!!! LEARN HOW TO MANAGE STRESS!!!!
Eugene : DIAM AR!!! WHERES THAT THING?!
Ronny : You mean you're long lost brother? Behind us la! that fella can run weih!
Eugene : He is not even running! I don't see his legs!
Ronny : Oh aren't you the smart one... His cloak so long you see cock meh?!
Eugene : DUCK!!!!!!
Ronny : WHAT?!
Eugene had no time to respond to Ronny's ignorance and jumped over to him, pushing him down to the gravel floor along with himself, right at that moment the 'thing' pounced over them slashing twice, Ronny would've been dead had Eugene not pushed him on to the ground and ducked with him. Eugene is now in deep denial, not sure why in the world is there a 'clone' of him and why he is at Chin Huei's house to begin with, the clone is also attacking them like a wraith from the nether, he has no clue what has happened to Chin Huei or where he is and Eugene is now also afraid of getting him and his good buddy killed. To make matters worst, Ronny's slumber attitude towards this life and death situation.
Ronny : You say duck... i thought you were saying the animal kind of "duck"
Eugene : SCREW YOU!!! YOU WANNA DIE YOUNG IS IT?!?!
Ronny : Instead of bombarding me with continuous assaults of words, why don't you figure out a way of getting this 'thing' or brother of yours to stop chasing us! It's not like I murdered his mum! or in this case... your mum!
Eugene : I'M THINKING I'M THINKING.
Ronny : Here he comes again.. RUN!!!
The apparition now flies down towards them from the sky like a vengeful spirit who is after them for the sake of killing, as it approaches Eugene and Ronny sprawled on the ground, it draws it's scythe back to one side of it's waist for maximum strength and momentum. At this time, Eugene and Ronny can't help but think to themselves whether this is really gonna be the end of them. A thought crossed Ronny's mind saying how ridiculous it would be if he were to die to something he doesn't even really believe in. "Ghosts... " he says, " I'm gonna die to a freaking ghost!!! " . He then shuts his eyes, as if accepting the inevitable.
*BANG!!!!! *
Ronny and Eugene didn't know what happened or where the explosion of what seems to be a burst of gunshot which was fired , all they know is that right after that shot was fired, a deafening screech filled the quiet streets of Sunway. The screech was so unbearable that their eardrums was almost about to pop like a champagne cork. Just as it gets too much to bear, the screech was gone, and everything was quiet once again. The both of them opened their eyes and surveyed their surroundings, everything was back to normal again. The houses are now in their original inhabited state, the road is back to their original blackish gray condition and the desolate scenery around them has returned to it's latter aura of polluted Sunway.
Ronny : God... my brain was about to pop into mince meat . .
Eugene : What happened? whe... where is that thin-...
Before Eugene could finish his sentence and get up from his sprawled condition, he saw someone's hand motioned towards him, gesturing him to grab it and stand up. Then a voice said. " That thing is an Enigma of you Eugene. Those kind of things are called Enigmas ". Eugene then stood up after being helped by that man and as he regains his composure again, he saw a big figured, well postured man standing in front of him, holding in his arms the weirdest shot-gun like contraption he had ever seen. Ronny then stood up and said to that mysterious man " K... Koon Teng ? "
