The Dark Master

"A Rocketman Story"

By John Pirillo

Nordenbrough was a densely populated area of Germany that bordered on the Alps. Its main industry was steel, imported from the south where it was hauled in by train from the frontiers that had been conquered by the Nazi hordes. Its people were untouched by the fanaticism that ran through much of Germany at the time, protected from it in a way as an experiment by the Fuehrer, who was secretly building a base in the nearby Alps for what he was determined would be the fatal blow to the hopes of the Western Allies.

For almost ten years, even before the war took a prominent place in the news and eyes of the world, he was already secretly meeting with a man of dark persuasions. A man dedicated to the Occult. That man exuded such confidence and power that Hitler had immediately allowed himself to be taken on as a disciple of this Dark Master. Even though still in a position to become a powerful force of good for his country, his own ambitions and disappointments, were driving him further and further away from the mainstream of good people and closer and closer into the cult that the Dark Master had built.

Unknown to the world, but known to the top Allied Leaders, Britain and others were waging a secret war against the Dark Master, who was using ley lines of the planet to gather power and force and disrupt commerce and supplies across the planet. You might think this an exalted view of a simple man, for that was his outwards appearance. Small, like Hitler, soft talking and polite to a fault, but his heart was made of mud that swished and ground with hatred and anger towards life that disposed towards anything uplifting and positive. He was a devoted disciple, in his words, of the UberMasters, those beings who rode the flying discs from the central area within our planet.

Hitler, long disposed towards the Occult, was immediately enamored of this fascination and shared it devotedly with his own growing circle of disciples. So in effect, there were two Dark Masters, the one that Hitler gave silent obedience to and his own, that he harbored and nurtured. On one day when Nordenbrough was steeped in its normal routine of smelting iron and producing steel for weapons of destruction, a small parade of black cars with Nazi symbols, drove into the town. 

The Dark Master was staying in the Black Hotel, called the Swartzen Haus. Wherever he stayed it always had the numbers 666 and the color black in it somewhere. While he didn't personally believe in Satan, he did believe in the power of numbers. Had the churches realized that this man was gathering power and influence they might have had a stronger influence in the war than they had at the time, knowing that evil was brewing beneath their noses. But they didn't. And they didn't!

The Dark Master met in the conference room with his twelve Dark Disciples, an inverse of Jesus and his own disciples. They wore red Swastikas and their faces were hidden beneath red masks that resembled blindfolds. The Dark Master was the only one not wearing a mask. He stood before them. 

"Soon, we shall have a thirteenth disciple. One whose power and dominion shall help us extend our reach beyond the Germanies to the entire world."

The Dark Disciples raised black gloved hands and applauded in an eerie way, no sound emitting from their clapping. He smiled and urged them to stop. They did. The silence in the room grew. "I want you to treat him with the utmost respect, as he is at a tipping point, where he could go our way or to the way of... (with great distaste)...the other."

A low humming filled the room as the men and women of that group made a sound of deep distress that signified displeasure. He had taught them that. It was very disturbing to anyone not aware of its psychological significance.

The door to the room opened and two tall Dark Soldiers stepped inside. Hitler stepped between them, followed by two of his own soldiers, who glanced around nervously, hands on their pistols in case.

"I am here." Hitler announced. "As you requested, Master."

The Dark Master nodded, and indicated a chair to his right next to him. Hitler went to it and sat there, his Soldiers to his right and left, their eyes watching the others of the room nervously. The Dark Master sat down and laid his palms on the tabletop. The moment they touched the tabletop the highly polished surface lit up like a movie screen.

The Soldiers gaped at it in awe, but Hitler remained unphased. "An interesting toy."

The Dark Master smiled at him, his small dark eyes filled with a tender kind of menace. "But a toy that will help you win this war you plan."

"I seriously doubt that, but I'm listening." 

The Dark Master swiped his hand across the table top and a view of Nordenbrough from above showed there. Hitler leaned forward with interest when he saw something bright and metallic lancing into view from the right. "Rocketman!"

"Yes. The one block to our ambitions."

Hitler looked at the Dark Master.

"I have not yet made that determination."

Confidently. "You will."

Hitler's eyes locked with the Dark Master's a moment, then looked away. "I'm perturbed by the timing of this event."

"It is not a mistake." The Dark Master announced, his voice trembling with excitement.

"How is this not a mistake?" Hitler demanded, his voice shrill and angry. "You have led me to an encounter with the one man I cannot stop."

"Oh, but I can!"

Hitler looked at the Dark Master. "And who shall aide you, the giants from the center of our earth?"

"Precisely!"

The Dark Master made a sign above the screen and a flight of saucer shaped devices shot into view in pursuit of Rocketman.

Hitler's eyes widened. He glanced at the smiling Dark Master. "Then it's true!"

"Yes. It is."

=======================================================

Rocketman, Captain Harry or just plain Harry to his friends, navigated the cold and frigid air above Nordenbrough, his eyes on the readouts inside his helmet, as well as the view through the semi-opaque visor he had just thinned so he could see outside with his eyes as well. Tesla had called the visor a String enhanced metal that changed density depending on the energies pouring through it.

Harry didn't understand the rocket science behind it, nor his pal Jet, but they both knew it worked and worked pretty damned well. 

"Harry, you in range yet?" Jet asked from his receiver.

"Range and closing."

"It's the tallest building in the village. Not hard to miss at night, but stands out like a big bad boo boo in the light of day."

"I just love your analogies, Jet."

"Yeah. And I love being here safe on my butt, while you pretend to be Superman."

"I'm not pretending anything."

"Tell that to the girls I'm dating that want to meet you."

"You rascal."

"Middle name and don't you forget it. Word down from Allied is that the Fuehrer himself is in that hotel at this very moment."

"How would they know that?"

"Shall we say a little birdie told them?"

"Right. Proceeding with drop."

Harry flicked a switch with his tongue and the suit began a plunge towards the quite town below. On its fringes were several factories were the steel and weapons were melted and built. He was more interested in those than the hotel, but he made it a point not to disobey orders too frequently or they might take away his suit.

"Thousand feet and dropping."

"Just like a bomb."

"Hope not. They explode. I intend to come home and date one of those girls you've got compromised."

"Be still my heart."

"Shush or it might be."

"No such luck, fat boy."

"Just because I gained two pounds last week doesn't make me fat."

"Gain another and they'll have to squeeze you into that suit with a pair of giant pliers."

"Funny, ha, ha."

"At your service, through good or bad."

"Jokes that is."

"You got it."

"Two hundred. No signs of anti-aircraft weapons. How's that possible?"

"Cocky Nazis. Dumb Nazis."

"Never met one. Know a dumb ass though."

Harry brays like a donkey. "Got me!

"Preparing to drop."

Harry flicked another switch inside his helmet and his two armor piercing rockets began to open up on his right and left sides of his jet pack. As he swooped lower he noticed the air began to become cloudy, then darker, and then almost smoke like.

"Something's happening, Jet."

"Gotta go to the bathroom?"

"No, I'm serious. I'm losing visibility."

"Impossible. It's clear as a sunny day in the Bahamas right now there."

"Gotta pull out."

Harry flicked another switch and his suit broke from its dive and angled skywards again. He looked down with the help of a screen inside his helmet and the entire town of Nordenbrough was gone.

"Holy crap, Jet!"

"Harry!"

"It's all right. I'm safe, but Nordenbrough is gone!"

Harry put on speed and his Rocketman suit shot off like a rocket deep into the Alps towards his home base.

=======================================================

Hitler rose slowly from his chair, a smile on his face. He clapped his hands slowly and precisely. "I would be honored to join my forces with yours, Dark Master."

The Dark Master rose, waved his hand over the tabletop and the image of Rocketman shooting away vanished. 

"How soon before we can have this technology for ourselves?" Hitler demanded.

The Dark Master stood silent a long time. Before Hitler could speak out in anger, he waved a well manicured hand and smiled. "When the time is right."

Hitler almost exploded, but instead, he bit the bullet and remained silent. His day would come. He must learn what he could from this man, and then one day, he would be the Master.

The Dark Master rang a small bell and servers came into the room with trays of food and drink. "Now, let's eat and talk about how we shall help one another, shall we?"

Hitler nodded, and then eyed his Soldiers. They fell back against the wall behind him and remained alert, but he sat down and began helping himself to the delicious food being spread before him and the Dark Master and his 12 Dark Disciples. What he had thought was just a mission to expose another occult fake had turned into something much more exciting. He didn't understand the technology he had just witnessed, but he knew it was...technology. And anything this man could build, he would also build.

He had time. He had the patience. Soon his scientists would complete Operation Forever and he would be ready for the next step of his world conquest.

The Dark Master raised a glass of wine into the air. His Dark Disciples did as well. "To our future."

None of the Dark Disciples spoke.

Neither did Hitler.
