Chapter 2
Only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud
So good I can't believe it, screaming with the crowd
Don't sweat it, we'll get it back to you
Don't sweat it, we'll get it back to you
Overkill, overkill, overkill.

Mark, Matt and Jack had all met Nelson they just didn’t know it, they wouldn’t know it.
They could have met him anywhere, a dinner date, serving them a drink at a movie or sports game, a kind person who offered them some water if they needed a drink.
All Nelson had needed to do was a little bit of manipulation.
Celine had been easy to bend, a few words in her ear a idea here and there and thanks to her and her brother, Damien.
Dark had been born, Anti he was a little more complex putting codes into computer games he had taken a month to bring forward, However Overkill had been the hardest to bring to life taking years.
Nelson believed that everyone had a dark persona, he wanted to see if good people would know or allow for that dark persona to come forward.
As it turned out Mark and Jack had quite a few but Nelson just wanted the darkest so Dark and Anti was the strongest and the ones who was always watching and kept the other egos at bay Matt however only had Overkill.
“So…What now?” Overkill asked “We went though all of this for…what exactly?” Anti put his head to one side a sadistic smile on his face.
“I want to have some fun…” Dark held his hand up for Anti to be quiet before sitting down.
“unfortunately for me and you Anti we aren’t physical beings, we are beings of the void, and therefore can’t physically be in this world, however overkill here can move freely between worlds.”
Overkill frowned “well, what use is that if people can't see you then why are you here?”
Dark smiled “oh they will, in this instance myself and Anti will very much be in front of the camera, where we truly belong, from there we can make people see what Nelson wants them to see.”
Overkill nodded removing his glasses, “I suppose I should make them think that Matt is still running the show.”
Darkiplier nodded, “Anti and I will once again start slowly, showing ourselves in videos from there we will be able to put the message out there and bring people to us.”

Overkill opened the door as Anti and Dark blended in to the shadows “How are you doing Matt?”
Overkill turned seeing Woods stood behind him “I’m…ok, just trying to get my head around everything, you know?”
Woods nodded “yeah I do, listen Matt, when you go back and watch the videos I er said something that I didn’t mean, if I knew it was Nelson…”
Overkill held his hand up “Don’t worry about it, I’m sure I’ve done the same in the past with everything that’s going on I said things I didn’t mean, it’s already forgotten.”
Giving a sigh of relief Woods nodded before turning and leaving going back to his workstation.
Overkill gave a smirk this was going to be easier than he thought, he already had the team fooled, had they learnt nothing from what had just happened with Nelson they couldn’t see what was in fount of them Overkill went into Matts office closing the door.

Woods closed the door behind him turning to Sam, Baily and three other females “You was right Amy, that’s still not Matt, that’s Overkill.”
