The Button
This story- which I had intended to be REALLY REALLY short and funny and quirky- eventually became a little longer. And a lot less funny. But this is it.
And it will come down at midnight, Irish time, on the 22nd...
And it has now been taken down... only to reappear in the Skulduggery Pleasant Collection of short stories and novellas, available... um... some time in the spring of 2014...

Hi!
*looks at previous comments*
My knives are in boot sheathes, so I wouldn't go for them, I'd go for my swords. Besides the fact that they're throwing knives, not for close combat.
It was a great story though!
That fight was getting old...
How did you get Jubi?
*stabs Grief in the brain with butterfly knife*
Hey Kessie!
Oh for...
*draws knife from boot*

*Rides in on Clementine and breathes fire everywhere*
Watching Star Trek.

*cough cough cough nerd cough cough cough*
And proud.
I know that I shouldn't be talking....
Original? BECAUSE SPOCK IS AMAZING!
Yeah! Original is awesome.
I haven't actually seen any of the oringinal episodes! D:
But I have seen the movies and two Next Generation shows...
I only watch the original episodes. Haven't seen any movies or Next Generation.
The original ones are pretty good... the acting is hysterical though...
xP
Leonard Nemoy is quite possibly the best actor ever.
He's really funny to watch since he's all serious all the time...
AND he has the awesomest eyebrows and haircut
The eyebrows are just...
And he's not serious, he's emotionless and logical. *nod*
good point....
:P
Pointing is rude!
He had emotions in this episode. Induced by a happy making flower, but yeah
Oh no! Sorry!
Good... observation...?
lol
Silver????
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8400589/3/Tastes-Like-The-Sun
He's half human, so he does have emotions, but he favors his Vulcan side.
I know. Jubi! GO WATCH STAR TREK!
OOOH! SUGAR COOKIES! :D

Haha I don't feel like itttt......

(I am in no way an expert, but my dad and grandma are)
My dad got really mad when I said Doctor Who was better.

Jubi, that picture is epico!

*22
*21
10...
watch the earth blow up at 11:59...
Naw, it'll be 12:01
haha yeah!
Silly Mayans were off by 2 minutes...
I will laugh so hard if it does.
My iPod is screwed up. If I'm listening to music while online, it either skips or randomly closes out.
well I think that you'll be too busy dying to laugh....
It also has one song which for some reason is absolutely silent until 1:38
Jubi, I'm sure I'll manage...
Do you have some symbol for shielding yourself from meteorite attacks? Cuz if you do, then you're probably safe...
I have a shield symbol, yes. Not sure if it would work with something that big though, I never completed my training.
Dammit, the world didn't end.
*sigh* well I guess that's the end of all those ideas...
*goes and cries in corner*
Darquesse Story
The world was dark. The trees were dying and the rivers were dried up in their beds and the stars were black. Kestrel LeStarre, Administrator of the East Coast American Sanctuary, stood in the shadows, looking around her with an emotion that bordered on shock.
Just hours ago, the city had been a light, happy, bustling place. The sun was still shining, the trees were alive, and the gurgling of the rivers that threaded through the now ominous forest on the outskirts of the town could be heard if one listened hard enough.
But now, silence. Silence except for the muted sounds of fighting off in the distance, which would soon become silence as well.
Grand Mage Kerias was in the Irish Sanctuary, being cared for by Nye. She had been one of the first to go down, charging as she had straight at Darquesse, without waiting for backup. If she died, and they all would, soon, then she would die bravely. Bravely, but alone.
Damned Sensitives.
They had seen the vision of this happening, and for one of the first times in history, recorded or otherwise, it had come with a date. And a time. And a dare.
So the Irish had called everyone in to fight Darquesse. Darquesse, whom most people knew as Valkyrie Cain. She had tried to keep the secret, but it was an impossibly large secret to keep. Maybe that's why she had broken, in the end. Changed for good.
It didn't matter of course. Not anymore. All that mattered was that Darquesse was here for good and they were all going to die. So, Kestrel ran.
She ran like a madwoman, straight to the center of the city where the Sanctuary mages from around the world were making their last stand. She ran, faster and faster, drawing her swords as she ran. She briefly wondered if their soul-stealing properties would work on Darquesse. She rather doubted it.
As she got closer, the sounds of fighting were diminishing, becoming fainter, like a memory. And perhaps they were memories. Bitter memories floating on the wind, bringing with them false hope.
For when she reached the town square, Darquesse was standing there, alone, surrounded by bodies, some not even recognizable as human. There was one who appeared to a skeleton in a suit. There was not a single movement from the former battlefield.
Darquesse stood, back to Kestrel, surveying the new world. Kestrel froze when she saw this, her heart breaking in two as her gaze scanned the mountain of corpses. She recognized friends, and acquaintances, but the one that stood pit most was the bent and broken body of Maralie Charm.
She lay on her own, a little way off from everyone else. Around her, the darkness had not yet settled, perhaps because of her unique light powers that Kestrel had always been jealous of. She was wearing armor, like all of the Ireland mages, but her's was pink, with a "My Little Pony" engraved on the front. Her blonde hair was dirty and tangled, and her limbs were twisted at angles that shouldn't even have been possible, but the armor was untainted. That was the worst part, Kestrel thought, as she held back a sob. Maralie had made everyone sign the armor before they got to this god-forsaken place. Even Valkyrie.
Kestrel tore her gaze away, and made to leave, her feet moving backwards silently. A few more metres and she would be clear, far enough to run. Run where, she didn't know, but it didn't seem to matter. Nearly there now, nearly away from the stench of blood, and desperation, and death.
And then Darquesse turned her head.
She wore a black metal gauntlet, and a black tattoo swirled around her left biceps and down to her wrist. She looked exactly like Valkyrie Cain, but different somehow. A teenager, with the oldest, bloodthirstiest eyes Kestrel had ever seen.
Kestrel wanted to rum, but she was rooted to the spot, transfixed by those eyes. Darquesse continued to stare at her for a moment, and then turned and walked to Kestrel, taking slow, measured strides.
Kestrel forced herself to stay calm, wished herself to stay alive, but she knew it was no use. She knew that she would scream and beg and cry just like the rest of them.
Darquesse stopped in front of her, looking at her but not seeing her for anything other than another victim, another death to feed her power. Darquesse closed her eyes, and Kestrel felt a presence in her mind, questing, tugging. She tried to raise her swords but she couldn't.
She fell to her knees, and still Darquesse pulled, tugging her life force away. Slowly, Kestrel's eyes closed, and her consciousness began to drift away. Her mind shut down and a glowing mist cane from her mouth, which was absorbed by Darquesse nearly as quickly as it had come.
Kestrel fell face forward, swords clattering to either side of her. Her last thoughts were, I had always hoped to die a warrior. And then she as gone.
Darquesse turned away, stepping over the mutilated corpses, and smiled. Today, the world would end. Today, time was her's.
Thats depressing....
DAMMIT DARQUESSE! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO KILL EVERYONE _TODAY_!
I'm really good at depressing. You don't even want to know what my theory for the end of Book 9 is.
you told me
Darquesse kills everyone and then turns back into Valkyrie and then she realizes what she's done and is all depressed
Oh, I did?
Not exactly, but in essence that is fairly correct.
I've added something regarding Lord Vile.
ooh
what?
Happiness for all.
Hey Ember!
You remember I said that she refused any contact with the magical world, right? Including Skulduggery.
Well, Skulduggery gets so mad about that that he becomes Lord Vile, and breaks into Gordon's house where Val and Alice are now living.
He steps into Alice's room where Val is putting her to sleep, kills Alice, and then turns his head and steps towards Val, slowly raising his hand.
Hi Ember!
I'm leaving soon; the only reason I'm still here is because I'm trying to listen to all of one of my playlists.
Oh..... erm... that's...lovely Kessie.....
DEREK! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T MAKE IT LIKE THAT!!!
See? I'm fantastically good at depressing. I have one for The Giver too, if you've read that.
Oh, I haven't read that yet...
Ah. If you ever do, tell me, and I'll tell you my theory.
Haha alright :P
One more song.

I dedicate this page to Merlin because it's the awesomest show ever. Also because the next episode comes out this afternoon.... n I AM SO FLIPPIN EXCITED!!!!!
