The Deafening Silence

The Deafening Silence is a continuation of Crux of Mat but broken down into sections because that is the best way my brain would allow me to write stories. They all tell the story of Mat but in fractions.

It was a cloudy afternoon Mat was walking around the State Fair listening to the merry people having fun; families living life to the fullest. Mat saw some hoodlums pointing and laughing at an elderly gentleman one by one they take ran towards the man they shoved him and began to stomp on him Mat quickly intervened he entrapped them inside an invisible box. He helped the Beeman up when he started to hear a loud ringing sound he stood the man up and turned around looking for the source of the sound when he noticed the hoodlums started to bleed from every pore

on their body Mat dispersed the box he attempted to keep them from losing more blood as the box disappeared their heads popped.

He stood still shocked covered in blood he then dropped to his knees covering his ears blood ran down his cheeks like tear drops he felt a hand slowly lift up his head he opened his eyes only to see the elderly man he looked around only to find everyone headless on the ground. Mat stood up stared at the man smiling "Wow! Look at that the one person who survived haha. What a cheater of death now let let's fix that. Shall we?" The gentleman raised his cane hooked it to Mat's forearm bringing one hand down exposing his ear the sound intensified Mat screamed as he began to bleed out his ears. The man laughed as he began to beat Mat down with his cane the sound grew louder as he rammed his cane into Mat's lung causing him to cough up blood.

A shockwave knocked the elder man away sending him into a game booth Mat struggled to stand up "Maty no just die already. Come on you
can make my one wish come true that'll make Uncle Sam really happy." Sam walked up to Mat carrying a mallet hits Mat slamming him into the Tilt-A-whirl the structure came crashing down on top of him. Mat made eye contact with Sam once more before he was kicked in the face knocking him unconscious Sam dusted himself off and shifted . Mat stood up sees that Sam has changed his appearance looking younger when he began emitting another high pitched sound wave which struck Mat at mach speed shattering his femur Mat phases through the ground appearing behind Sam grabbing a hold of him but the sound emitting from Sam became so intense Mat held on to Sam created a barrier containing the two of them.

Outside of the barrier a faint breeze can be heard but inside the sphere both Mat and Sam were getting pulverized by countless waves of sound one after the other. Sam began to shift into Mat as the soundwaves grew stronger they plummed Sam till he became dust finally the soundwaves ceased the bubble busted Mat fell into a pile of sand. He laid on the ground grinning slowly as the light in his eyes disappeared. P.A.C began to scan the fair for any signs of life he found faint heart beats he morphed into 2ft hobbit droid he rushed over to the victims only to see that wasn't Mat wasn't either of them. He aided the victims he walked over to the lifeless Mat he morphed back into a backpack and reattached himself to Mat's spine allowing him to control Mat to get home.

The gorgeous Lake Sammamish had a radiant glow from the moonlight when the entire lake lit
up ascending from center was a glowing bright light as it surfaced above the water that bright light split into two objects causing the light to get dimmer sending one flying far away as the other dropped into the lake. Bubbles began to emerge from the lake as huge bubble bursted letting loud scream revealing a sustained water like crater in the lake and stood in the center of the crater was Mat. His eyes glowing red instantly returning to his original colour he calmly walked towards the shore towards the crowd of spectators witnessing the lake return to normal as he departed from the center of the lake.

Mat stood at the top of the hill looking around as he proceeds to walk along the bridge when he is spotted by a familiar friend. P.A.C reattached himself to Mat recalibrating his sensors with Mat until P.A.C short circuited
