========================================================================= Date: Sat, 20 Apr 1996 17:09:47 -0700 Reply-To: Josh Fraim Sender: Highlander TV show stories From: Josh Fraim Subject: true evil fanfic revisions i have taken my fanfic and ran it through a spell checker and a grammer checker. i apoligize for the mistakes and promise to do this with future parts true evil part 1 Except kane (no relation to the big bad guy in highlander III), which belong to me, the characters herein and the idea of immortality as seen in the Highlander Universe belongs to Rysher Entertainment Inc. All rights go to them but I am not writing this for personal gain. As the scene opens, we see Mcleoud walking across the street. Soon he feels a really big buzz, the biggest Mcleoud's felt yet. He looks around for the source but can't find it. 'What was that? ' Macleod thinks and returns to the dojo. Richie is there. "How's it going" Richie says. "I am doing pretty well. Oh something interesting happened to me today, I felt a very powerful buzz."Macleod says. "You mean like the immortal is really old or powerful?" Richie asks. "Yes, but I couldn't find that person, which is unusual because I can usually find the person I feel. Of course it was a big crowd and that person could have been lost in the crowd." Macleod says. "How bout I go out and see if I can find him. where were you when you felt it?"Richie asked. "Around the main downtown area."Macleod says. "It shouldn't be too hard to find if the buzz is really big like it was with you."Richie says. "Ok."Macleod says. Richie leaves the dojo and heads for the downtown area. He doesn't feel anything until he enters an alley and then finds himself face to face with someone who is giving him a big buzz. "Do you know Macleod?" the man says. "Who wants to know?" Richie says. "None of your business! If you do just tell him that I am his match and I will find him and bring him down!" the man says. "I'll tell him that."Richie says "Know that the only reason I am letting you live is so you can tell Mcleoud." the man says. "That supposed to scare me, because it isn't." Richie says. "Take it the way you want. just tell him!"the man says. Richie returns to the dojo and tells Mcleoud what he found. "Joe, what are you doing here?"Richie asks after seeing Joe with Duncan. "Duncan told me about his encounter with an immortal" Joe says. "I just ran into him and he told me to tell Duncan that he is his match and he is coming after him."Richie says. "That can't be, we don't have any records of any living immortals that are very old or very powerful." Joe says. "I'm telling you the buzz I felt was huge!"Richie. "So was mine" Duncan says. "I mean I know I haven't lived as long as you, so I don't have much experience in telling buzzes' but still." Richie says. "I'll go and check our records, can you come with me to see if you recognize a face on our list?" Joe says to Richie. Joe's phone rings. "Hello Joe here." Joe says. "What, I will be there right away . That was one of our own men, he says he lost contact with another right after the other seeing an "unknown" immortal. Then when he went to check on him he found the man dead!"Joe says. "How is it possible that an immortal could know a watcher when he sees one? Maybe he caught him calling HQ." Richie says. "You and Joe go to Joe's office and search the records. I will go out and look for this Guy."Duncan says to Richie. "Ok, be careful Mac, this guy could be dangerous." Richie says to Duncan. "I will, just do some good and find out what is going on!" Macleod says to Richie. Macleod Joe and Richie all leave the dojo. After a long search Mcleoud decides to take a rest and visit Tessa's grave. He puts flowers on her grave and is distracted by a big buzz, the same he felt earlier. "Hello Macleod." a man says. "I'm sorry, do I know you?"Macleod says. "My name is Kane, and I am your destroyer!" Kane says "We can't fight on holy ground." Macleod. "Do you seriously think I got the way I am by following the rules?"Kane says sarcastically. Meanwhile back at watcher HQ. "Look i have been over your records twice and i can't find a match."Richie says to Joe. "But that is impossible! Unless."Joe ponders. "There is a legend of a creature, maybe an immortal who had the power to hide his identity and cloud people's minds. It's possible that this guy is that immortal or he killed that immortal. Then that would explain how he went undetected all this time. He would simply hide his buzz and cloud the memories of any watcher that found out about him. Either that or he killed any watcher."Joe says. "So then why did he, kill this watcher?" Richie asks. "Perhaps because it was too late, the watcher had already told about an unknown immortal so he killed him for revenge, maybe."Joe says. "If that is true then it could mean that he has lived ages being able to defeat immortals just be sneaking up on them without feeling his buzz. That could mean he is really powerful! Mac's life could be in danger!"Richie exclaimed. Meanwhile back at the cemetery. "How do you know about me?"Mcleoud asks. "I know about all immortals." Kane says. "But how do you know about all immortals, and how were you able to go undetected?"Mcleoud asks. "Because i have the power to cloud people's minds to forget me, including watchers, and i can hide my buzz."Kane says. "But how were able to know which ones were watchers. How do you know so much about the watchers?"Macleod asks. "Fool i STARTED the watchers." Kane says. "What!"Mcleoud exclaimed "Yes I started it originally to help me find immortals to kill. Then I pulled myself away from it and only showed myself to get info and used my mind clouding to avoid detection."Kane says. "But enough talk, time to die mcleoud."Kane says. A fight follows where Mcleoud is obviously outmatched. "Give up and I promise I will cut you, except your head of course."kane says. "Never!"Macleod says and continues fighting. The fight finishes with Mcleoud on his knees and with Kane's sword at his throat. "There can be only ONE."Kane says with a sarcastic tone in his voice. But as his sword is arcing down to cut mcleoud's head off the sound of police sirens cut through the air. "This isn't over, you will see me again!"Kane says. " And next time you won't be so lucky."then, flees away. Mcleoud stands up shakily with the horrifying realization about how close he came to dying. Richie rushes in with some officers and helps him out of the cemetery and back to the dojo Back at the dojo they find Joe waiting for them. "Oh great you're okay!"Joe says to Duncan. "just barely, he came this close to cutting my head off the only thing that saved me were the police's sirens." Duncan says. Duncan tells Joe what he found out "I can't believe that an immortal started the watchers, when our members find out there will be a uproar."Joe says "Is it possible that he was lying?"Richie asks. "Yeah, but just the implications of an immortal going undetected for such a long time could still shake us up." Joe says. "Joe, i don't know what i am going to do. He is to powerful for me. I mean even if i avoid him, when the time of the gathering comes i will have to fight him. I don't know if i can do it."Duncan says "NO, you can't give up you are the best good immortal that we know about, you are our only hope of having a good "last" immortal."Joe says "You will find a way to defeat him Mac. I believe in you" Richie says to Macleod. "I just wish i had your enthusiasm" mcleoud says solemnly. As the scene fades out Kanes voice says "I'll be back and next time i will FINISH you!" To be continued . . . A preview of upcoming parts Kane will get a hold of the watcher's database of all immortals and watchers and plans to release it to the whole world. And mcleoud and kane fight to the death, but whose death. Will the kane successfully release the info to the whole world? i am not sure how many parts this will be so i will post the part#/totalparts in a later post when i figure it out.
