Chapter Twenty-Five "Kill Them All"

Rylan
Stop
All the Gods turned to Rylan
Rylan
We are not to destroy anything.
Doom
What do you mean?
Nixon
Surely you jest
Rylan
We have come to a problem
Shiva
And that would be?
Rylan
Your sister Oleander wishes to stand against us
Wynson
How idiotic
Zanos
Of course
Rylan
With that said, she will use everything in her ability to fight us. She has decided to join the White Coats.
Rayn
This is surprising
Rylan
We must now focus our power first on the destruction of your sister, the White Coats, and the Shadow Regime
Nixon
Well then, let us march on her forest
Rylan
Yes, in due time we will. Who would like to go after the Regime?
Doom
Can I do it? I’d gladly volunteer
Nixon
Yes, and I would accompany him
Rylan
Right then, you two will be in charge of that. Shiva and Rayn, you will go for the White coats.
Shiva
Fine
Rayn
If we must
Rylan
Zanos and Wynson, you will follow me, we have other business to attend to
Nixon
Very well, let us go.
Doom
Kill
Rylan
Make haste
Arkain sat next to the lake by Suri.
Suri
Are you okay?
Arkain
Yeah I am, just angry
Suri
Don’t be
Arkain
I can’t help it
Suri
Anger is a choice Arkain
Arkain
Well it’s a choice I freely make
Suri
But nonetheless you make it
There was silence
Arkain
Is this going to go on forever?
Suri
Forever is forever unknown
Arkain
I guess. I just am getting sick of our people dying, sick of us losing, it’s not fair.
Suri
It’s not suppose to be fair. They have stronger people and that is just how it is.
Arkain
I suppose.
She kissed him on the cheek
Suri
Relax, we will make it through this
High above, on the mountains before White Coat territory stood Roslyn. She made it so quickly.
Roslyn
So they call this home
With the speed of light she had an arrow out and she shot it. The arrow hit another and separated it.
Roslyn
You have good aim child
Oswaldo appeared on Adonis
Adonis
You are in the realm of the White Coats, why do you come here?
Roslyn
I wish to speak with your leader young ones. I have a message from Queen Oleander of the leave.
Oswaldo
How do I know we can trust you?
Roslyn
Call your master, they will be here soon. Water and ice will lay waste to your home soon if you do not.
Oswaldo
Come
Oswaldo lead her to the council room. Shiva and Rayn stood on top of another mountain overlooking the same area of land.
Rayn
They are not even protected
Shiva
Perhaps they felt they felt no need to protect
Rayn
All the same, we must kill them all.

Chapter Twenty-Four "The Stuff Of Legends"

Rysel was lying against the wall in a cold dark cave asleep. She saw so many things happen, more then any human could fathom. A boy, a young boy with wings was flying down in the air with three other winged people. She did not know the boy; he was so young, as young as her. Through her dreams was her only way to see his face, for when she opened her eyes, she could not see clearly. She was lying against the wall, finally able to get some sleep. Then she saw it, the boy came to her, she woke up.
Rysel
It’s cold
The cave was dark; she was lying towards the opening of it
Rysel
Brother, why did you not wake me?
Her brother Krysin was in the dark and could not be seen. Only his deep voice came from the darkness.
Krysin
I would not wake you from your slumber
Rysel
It’s very cold
A gust of warm air flew past her moving her pitch black hair in the night
Rysel
It hasn’t rained for day’s brother.
Krysin
I don’t think it ever will again
Rysel
Pity, and they think they know what their doing.
She looked to the darkness
Rysel
Father will come for us soon Krysin, he will need us
Another gust of warm air flew past her
Krysin
I know this.
Rysel
Why must we fight brother?
Krysin
Because we are comfortable with what is ours. The land is ours and the darkness is our home. If they wish to cleanse the world, it would mean you to
Rysel
But I mean them no harm
Krysin
Many do not. But they do not listen to pleas of innocence
Rysel
Indeed. The air is cold. They begin to kill tonight. The only element not on a rampage is the Goddess of nature, Oleander.
Krysin
She is a peaceful monster. She does not wish to slaughter humans
Rysel
Will she join us?
Krysin
You know your answer Rysel; you saw it in your sleep
Rysel
I don’t know if I can trust even myself anymore brother
She looked out of the caves opening, her eyes were white, pure white. She apparently had very little sun in her time of living.
Rysel
The world is coming to its close, and I do not see things as clearly as I did years ago. I could not tell you anything anymore without being doubtful of what I saw. In the end, my dreams are dreams.
Krysin
You think to little of your capabilities sister, in time you will see what you are worth. You are a weapon even the elves fear.
Rysel
I do not wish to be a weapon. Father is coming for us. Our time emerge from this darkness comes quickly, are you afraid?
Krysin
No. I am enjoying my thoughts.
Rysel
What are you thinking?
Krysin
It has been to long since the world has seen my kind. To long since they feared us. All the creatures of earth have become close to extinct. We however know better. The time has come to show the world their legends are true. It is time to show them the stuff of legends.
Rysel stood up
Rysel
Then we shall prepare for fathers arrival.
Rysel heard these words, but in her heart, they were wrong.
Rysel
It’s so cold
The trees in the forest were still. Oleander sat on a giant tree trunk. As she sat, her white long hair flowed in the wind while she thought about what was going on at the moment. Oleander was the only Elemental God who was not ever trapped. She was waiting for The Cloud to appear.
Oleander
Roslyn, come.
Roslyn appeared from behind the trees. She carried a big bow and arrows with her. She had long red hair and wore brown clothes.
Roslyn
My lady
Oleander just looked towards her
Oleander
They are finally coming. They would hope I would fight along side them.
Roslyn walked closer to Oleander
Oleander
They are wrong. I have no quarrel with the humans. I wish to live in peace, and killing is not peace.
Roslyn
They will wish to kill you my lady
Oleander
They can try. The forest will fight with me, and as will you.
Roslyn
To the death my lady, I will follow you.
Oleander
I know. That is why I chose you Roslyn
Roslyn bowed her head
Roslyn
I mean no offense my lady, but we eventually will have to choose a side.
Oleander
Yes, I’m afraid so.
Roslyn
Have you taken this into consideration?
Oleander
Yes, I have chosen the White Coats
Astrid
Very unwise
Astrid appeared behind the trees direct in front of Oleander and Roslyn. Roslyn drew and arrow and pointed it at Astrid.
Roslyn
You have no right to speak to my lady
Astrid
Oh dear I am truly sorry
Oleander
At ease Roslyn
Roslyn lowered her arrow. Behind Astrid appeared Kon.
Roslyn
You bring filth into these lands
Kon grunted
Kon
Vile women
Astrid
Enough fools. Oleander, please reconsider. Your brothers and sisters are about to begin
Oleander
I will not join the holocaust of mankind
Astrid walked forward, her white wings gleaming in the moonlight.
Astrid
You really have no choice.
Oleander
There is always a choice young one.
Astrid
Mother will not be happy about this
Oleander
Mother knows nothing.
Astrid
She is dying
Oleander
She is lying.
Kon stepped forward
Kon
You know what is going on creature. You can feel your own forest decaying in this air.
Oleander
Please beast, do not tell me what I can feel.
Astrid
Join us
Oleander
I will never walk hand in hand with my enemy; they would slit my throat while I slept. I will kill you all.
Astrid
I don’t think you can. Please, at the very least, stand down.
Oleander
If I was to stand down, my home would be in flames
Kon
The pleasure would be mine
Roslyn raised her bow again
Roslyn
You will take no pleasure beast; I would see you dead before you would.
Astrid
You have a human as a pet oleander? I did not think even you would do such a thing.
Oleander
She has taught me what humans are capable of
Astrid
They are only capable of chaos and destruction.
Roslyn
Well then we have something in common then sky walker
Astrid
I would not think so.
Oleander drew her thin silver sword
Oleander
I’ve had enough of small chat, you will leave or die
Astrid
Today, we leave. Heed my words Oleander, we will return and burn your land.
Oleander
You can try, but you shall never destroy this forest of earth.
Astrid was gone, as well as Kon.
Roslyn
My lady, what will we do?
Oleander
We shall rally the White Coats. This forest will be our last stand against them in the end.
Roslyn
I will go to them.
Oleander
Fly like a leave in the wind youngling
Roslyn was already gone.

Chapter Twenty-Three "Common Ground"

Hayden watched in horror as giant lighting bolts obliterated all of the police force. He did not think this would come so quickly, the White Coats had underestimated the hastiness of The Cloud.
Hayden
Damn
The lightning stopped.
Hayden
Over already?
And then he saw someone drop from the sky gracefully onto a high building. There Zanos stood, the God of thunder. His yellow hair was a bit like Hayden’s. He looked like a young adult in his early twenties.
Zanos
Will it always be this easy?
Hayden did not know who he spoke of until a figure with short black hair dressed in all white appeared beside him. Wynson the God of Wind had arrived. He had the same features as Zanos.
Wynson
It’s rather boring if you ask me
Zanos
Yes, I suppose it is.
They looked down the building
Zanos
Shall we get it done then?
Wynson
If not now, then I don’t want to do it
Zanos
Agreed
Hayden appeared behind them
Hayden
I do not wish to fight but I must ask you to abandon your campaign
They both turned towards Hayden
Zanos
And you would be?
Hayden
Hayden of the Elf
Wynson
There are more then just Seex and Soren?
Zanos
Apparently this won’t be easy then. You Elf are Gods of the world just as we are. You, the sky walkers, and the Magni eyes are the only ones who can fully step up to us. This is most unexpected.
Hayden
I do not wish to fight
Wynson
Believe me, neither do I
Zanos
It really does not matter to me. You are Elf, but to think you are capable of taking us on alone is a bit insane on your behalf is it not?
Hayden
You know very well that you cannot slay me. Our kind is a peaceful being, but we are warriors if needed.
Wynson
Save it, we know.
Zanos
This is pointless elf. We will destroy this whether you interfere or not
Wynson
You’re wasting your breath on deaf ears to pleas of mercy
It began to snow.
Wynson
Aw, Shiva is coming.
The Goddess of ice formed right next to Wynson
Shiva
Hello brothers
Zanos
Long time no see Shiva
Wynson just smiled
Shiva
Who is this man?
Hayden
I am Hayden of the Elf
Shiva
An ally I assume?
Hayden
No, but neither an enemy I might add
Shiva
If you are not with us, then you are against us
Hayden
That may be, but enemies do not speak on good terms, if we are to fight, I’d fight you all with unfaltering respect.
Wynson
Well said. I don’t want to fight you though.
Zanos
I don’t really care
Shiva
I will fight him should he throw first blow
Hayden
That I will not do
Rayn
You all have gone soft I see
Rayn appeared next to Shiva.
Shiva
Hello Sister. Just because we do not wish to fight an honorable being does not make us soft.
Hayden could not believe what power he stood in front of
Rayn
I will not fight him either sister. I do not wish to fight
Zanos
So what do we do now?
They all seemed so uncaring of their mission
Rayn
Elf, we must ask you to flee. If the sky walkers or Doom arrive, we cannot promise your safety
The God of Fire appeared next, his orangey brown hair was very similar to his clothing.
Nixon
I do not need introductions; I am not as these are. I will fight you should you linger here any longer
Hayden had to decide whether to fight or take flight
Hayden
Master of the fire, would you reconsider?
Nixon
I’m afraid not
Sand began to form farthest away from the group
Shiva
You must leave now before Doom reveals his face, if not you will not get away
Hayden
Goodbye fellow Gods
They all bid a due and he was gone. Doom took his human shape.
Doom
Who were you all talking to?
Shiva
Each other
This was a suitable answer for Doom
Doom
Well then, let’s kill them all
Nixon
It must be done
Zanos
The suspense kills me
Wynson
So that makes one thing that can kill you
They laughed, although not human, and although they were to annihilate every human that called the land earth home, They were not so different. As they laughed together, millions of humans laughed at the same time, they did not catch this common ground. And so they began the destruction of this human city.

Chapter Twenty-Two "Adam and Eve"

The werewolf turned to Brutus. James was in fury, massive and scary. Brutus however was not afraid.
Brutus
Let’s fight, me and you doggy
Odias
Ilias we must allow them to fight alone
Ilias
Agreed
They ran across the street to where Malic stood, James roared.
Brutus
Come on, show me what you got
They fought and the floors shook. People stood in their houses as their apartment buildings shook.
Ximendos
We must kill that beast
Akasha
Brutus I am sure can do it
Glado
I want to get in on this
Malic stood across the other side of the street watching as Ilias rushed him
Malic
Come on ya litto bastard
Ilias jumped and his knee connected with his face. Malic hit the ground.
Ilias
Odias
Odias bit onto his neck
Malic
You motherfucker!
Odias dragged his giant body back onto the sidewalk behind them
Ilias
Now Suri!
Suri jumped from the building right above where Malic stood and her fist went into his stomach. He yelled as blood flew out of his mouth.
Malic
What are you doing to me?
Ilias
You can’t use your powers
Ximendos was watching the two fights
Ximendos
Apparently they have this planned out, Akasha, take that girl
Akasha
Love to
Suri stood next to Ilias
Suri
He’s out, wait for the others, we are taking him in
Malic
I’d rather die you bloody whore
Suri
You can soon you-
A snake bit into her neck, pick her up off her feet and swung her into a wall. Suri hit the floor next and did not get up.
Akasha
You were saying?
Ilias
Women, you are wretched
Akasha
Thanks kid
Two hands grabbed Akasha by the shoulder and lifted her into the air, Arkain was lifting her high
Akasha
Put me down fool
Arkain
No problem hag!
He let go, sending her crashing to the ground. She got up still like nothing.
Akasha
You little kids are something else
James bit into Brutus’ neck and Brutus threw him off
Brutus
Come on, can’t you do anything but bite
Every time James slashed or bit Brutus turned into his muddy like creation and was not affected.
Hayden
Hello Ximendos
Ximendos and Glado turned around to meet Hayden’s face
Ximendos
So you’re the elf I was told about, pleasure
Hayden
There is no pleasure here; I am here to kill you
Glado
Ha, you can do no such thing
Hayden
Quiet
Hayden lifted his hand and Glado was thrown back off the building
Ximendos
I like, you have style
Hayden
Enough, I did not come here for flattering
Ximendos
We don’t have to fight. Why waste such amazing powers. In the end one of us will die, but why? We can work something out.
Hayden
No, we cannot
His blonde hair did not even move despite the rushing wind
Ximendos
Your children will die, little Suri down there has already been poisoned by Akasha and will die in 30 minutes. Your indestructible werewolf is fighting our indestructible Brutus and that is going no where, just destroying buildings. What are you gaining from this?
Arkain landed behind Hayden
Ximendos
Aw, I finally get to lay my eyes on this child
Arkain
And this will be your only time
Ximendos
What is with all you preaching death as if you can do such a thing?
Arkain fell to his knees in pain, screaming
Hayden
What are you doing?
Ximendos
Killing him, what do you think these eyes were created for?
Arkain rolled on his back, his wings no longer out. A giant white blade of bone came out the side of Hayden’s arm and he charged Ximendos. Ximendos disappeared. Hayden ran to Arkain, but Arkain was unconscious.
Hayden
This can’t be happening
Malic was getting up, holding his stomach as he bled from the mouth
Malic
It’s alright, I’m okay
Ilias was battling Akasha, sword on sword. While Odias laid on the ground with no movement.
Akasha
You have some really good fighting skills; you’d be great for the regime
Ilias
Darkness has no place in my heart
Akasha
Oh really, then why do you choose not to show the White Coats what you can see
He stopped blocking dumbstruck by what she said
Akasha
Got you
Her sword entered his shoulder and he hit the ground
Akasha
Your coming with us pretty boy
A giant snake appeared from under her cloak
Akasha
Wrap the boy up Maxine, and be gentle, he’s coming with us.
Glado
Can we leave now? My head hurts from being thrown off a building by a stupid elf. No manners I swear!
Malic
We must leave now
Akasha
They will find us
Glado
So we keep moving, at least till this idiot can regain his strength
A white spear broke through Malic’s chest and he fell to the ground
Glado
Never mind
They scattered
Hayden
We shall find you again no matter where you run
Akasha spit on the ground
Akasha
And I will be ready to fight you elf
Hayden
How about now, I do not fear you women
Akasha moved forward but Glado grabbed her by the arm
Glado
Let’s go
They disappeared. Seris appeared next to Hayden.
Seris
Where is Suri, we haven’t got much time
She ran over to Suri and began to heal the bite on her neck
Hayden
Take her home
Ximendos approached Ilias’ unconscious body
Ximendos
Well, well, well, today has proven itself to be a rather amusing day
He put his foot on Ilias’ chest as the snaked hissed
Ximendos
Get off him snake, we aren’t taking him
The snaked hissed and slid off his body Ximendos knelt down next to him
Ximendos
Kid, you are the Adam, and your sister is Eve.
Hayden
Back away
Ximendos stood up
Ximendos
Relax, I mean him no harm. No harm at all
Ximendos disappeared. Sirens filled the air as police cars and S.W.A.T. trucks appeared on the scene.
Police officer on microphone
Put your hands up, we will not hesitate to shoot
James landed In front of all the police officers and their cars. He roared and cars flipped back
Police officer
Fire!
They began to shoot at him but no bullets pierced his body. He ran to stand next to Hayden across the street. He transformed back into his human form
James
What do we do?
Hayden
We leave. Pick up Ilias and run home, I must get Arkain.
James transformed back and picked up Ilias and Odias and ran through the city.
Police Force
Please put your hands up
Hayden
I mean you no harm
His voice was loud and audible. He jumped onto the building. Suddenly there were explosions, he did not know why. He looked down to see lighting coming down from the skies and hitting every car directly.
Hayden
No, this is too soon

Chapter Twenty-One "Can't Hide Anymore"

Ximendos sat with Akasha, Glado, and Brutus in the bar casually alone.
Ximendos
Damn I want to know what happens already
Akasha
Patience my lord
She reached across the table and put her hand on his
Ximendos
I am no child! Allow me to be anxious my dear
Glado
Master, can’t I just blow up some more things?
Ximendos
No, that is so annoying, we are better then that
Brutus
I want to smash things
Glado
Shut up you big idiot, go smash your brain
Brutus
How about I smash yours?
He stood up
Glado
I would like to see you try
Akasha
You two behave like two idiot children
Glado
Oh please don’t tell us what we are
Brutus
Yeah, you’re not our mother
Akasha
Thank god, I would have drowned you the moment you spoke
Ximendos
That’s not very nice Akasha
Akasha
Well I never said I was nice
Glado
You’re just a bitch
Brutus
Ha a dog!
Akasha
And what are you?
Glado
I prefer not to answer that
Akasha
And why is that?
Glado
Because I don’t need to answer to you
Brutus
Pussy
Glado turned to Brutus
Glado
Why don’t you go smash your brains in now?
Ximendos
Enough, I swear you all are at each other like animals
Malic walked into the bar
Malic
Ello mates!
Akasha
Greetings Malic
Malic
What a long day it’s been. Just to let you know, the shadows are fully set in every city and street in this country.
Ximendos
Good, now we just wait for Orthak.
Akasha
That will take time. His goal is to get the girl killed and kill Merdos. Velis knows too much and we must silence her, along with her curious lover.
Glado
Agreed but I don’t see why you didn’t let me just kill Velis myself
Malic sat down
Malic
Everything is going just dandy I suppose, why can’t we move in on the White Coats now?
Glado
They are still a formidable threat
Malic
Bullocks
Orthak
No, it is true
Orthak appeared out of nowhere
Ximendos
Orthak, what news do you bring us?
Orthak
It is done; the girl and boy are dead. We now also know the whereabouts of their homeland
Akasha
So what news do you hold that they would be able to stand up against us?
Orthak
I examined their roster of warriors. As we know, the boy Arkain is a sky walker, this by itself is a threat. They also have two children who posses the eyes our lord does and other children with great power. We know this, but they have something more.
Ximendos
What is this more?
Orthak
An Elf
Akasha
Impossible
Orthak
No, it is true. Under our noses they kept this secret. They have a small army that can truly oppose us. Master, you can see what is going on. This is a three sided war we are not going to be able to avoid. This will come to a climax, and this globe will be our battle ground.
Glado
True, it will come soon
Ximendos
It grows steeper, the level of caution we must take. At this very moment, the sky walkers have raised more elementals, fire, snow, wind, and lightning. They will come soon to lay waist on the world of man, we must choose to fight or move aside.
Akasha
Surely we fight, not for these pathetic humans, but for ourselves.
Glado
And we will fight no question about that.
Brutus
Wait, so will we be fighting with the White Coats?
Ximendos
No, we will kill them to if they get in the way
Malic
I want to kill them all
Orthak
We must prevail, oblivion approaches master, and we must overcome it
Ximendos
I’m positive we will. Be a little more optimistic my friends
Orthak
My lord, there is something else
Akasha
Can’t it wait Orthak?
Orthak
No, I’m afraid the White Coats also have an ally we are ignorant of; he apparently can smell the scent of people.
Brutus
What does that have to do with anything?
Orthak
Well you see, he followed Velis’ scent all the way from the White House to the White Coats
Glado
Well then it’s a good thing you don’t have a smell then right?
Orthak
Yes, but you all do
The glass of the front window smashed as four small grenades flew in and landed under the table they were all sitting at
Glado
How exciting
The grenades exploded. Two seconds later rockets flew in destroying even more. The bar was destroyed, though it still stood, the inside was lost. James Gunner stood on a roof top directly in front of the bar. He had his sniper in hand as he waited for them to exit.
James
Come on kids, exit the party
Brutus and Glado were the first to walk out just to fall into an explosion by set claymores.
James
Got you
Akasha strolled out next
James
She seems to be alright
Bam, he shot at her shoulder she dodged it
Akasha
You have to do better then that!
James
Fuck
He aimed for Glado who dodged each one as well
James
How can they dodge like nothing?
He hit Brutus in the stomach, shoulder and head
James
One down
But Brutus didn’t fall.
James
Shit, shit, shit, why won’t you die?
Ximendos
Because they aren’t humans
Ximendos appeared behind James
James
Holy shit
He jumped from the three story building
Ximendos
Ta, ta
James landed on his feet, he began to fire with dual hand guns at them, and nothing was hurting them.
Glado
This got boring fast, is that all you can do? Smell us then shoot human weapons at us?
A shot hit Glado in the shoulder
Glado
Not working
Suddenly Glado was hurled into a wall by some unknown force
Ilias
Stand back monster
Glado was getting up
Glado
You’re calling me a monster, after knocking me back with your eyes?
Ilias
You die here
Glado
All you White Coats say that but never come through on it
He laughed. There was an explosion in front of Ilias and Ilias jumped into the street.
Ilias
Odias go!
Odias appeared and grabbed onto Glado’s arm, sinking his teeth in.
Glado
Damn dog let go!
Glado disappeared
Ilias
He’s gone
James
He can’t run forever
Brutus
Hello
He socked James in the face and James flew across the street. Ximendos and Akasha stood on the roof top James began his attack on.
Akasha
This man, James, there has to be more to him
Ximendos
I’m sure there is
James threw off his jacket
James
You want a fight; I’ll give it to you
He began to transform, in an instant he was a giant wolf that looked like it could tear houses down
Akasha
Didn’t I tell you?
Ximendos
Interesting, this is rather amusing
The werewolf charged Brutus and tore him apart
Ilias
What a monster
James started at Ximendos and Akasha and roared
Brutus
That was something different
Brutus’ body began to form, as if it were putty
Brutus
Not many can do that. You’re a werewolf

Chapter Twenty "New Order"

They know each other?
James
Well, I should have known you’d be first on the scene
Seris walked forward, this guy could be a killer, Fallen, who is he?
Fallen
I have no clue, I like his dogs though, their smart
Who gives a shit about his dogs?
Seris
Put your guns down
James
No
Amya
And why is that?
Where did she come from? This is so confusing
James
How soft the White Coats have become from the Shadow Regimes treachery
Merdos
Shut up fool
James pushed the gun into his head
James
A fool in love it seems, that is what makes you all so naïve? I used to think you would know better Amya.
Amya
You have no idea about what is going on
James
I suppose I don’t, but I never said I did.
Seris
Do it for me James, put the guns down
James
After I put a bullet in her head
Crazy
Merdos
Try it
James pushed Merdos’ head forward and shot him in the knee with the other gun he previously had at Velis’ head, that was fast.
Merdos
Bastard!
He said kneeling on the ground
James
Would you like me to really try now?
Amya
James, I’m going to have to ask you to stop, I can’t have you killing members of this organization, which includes Velis
James
Velis, this woman you call friend?
Seris
She has helped us
James
She has also been an accomplice to murder
Amya
We know her track record James, she has changed.
James
Change, Change for what, you? She has changed who she is to make you all happy? To make you all think she is what you want her to be? Let me break it to you, people never change Amya, they aren’t changing if it’s for a reason. It has to be a natural process. This broad is just deceiving you all. Change is not possible in two days.
Seris
Then I guess you haven’t changed either
James
Yeah, I’m still in love with things I aint suppose to be in love with
Velis spoke
Velis
I have not killed anyone
James
Liar, she was there when Romberg was murdered, she is here to deceive you all.
Everyone turned to Velis, as we did she was already on the move, dagger in hand she swung at James’ face, he dodged it
Merdos
No!
She ran for it and Merdos took off for her
James
I won’t let her get away
He aimed his gun, he’s going to shoot, but Merdos ran fast enough that he stopped her, he stood in front of her, no gun shot, what’s going on.
James
Never mind
Merdos
You lied to me
Velis
What is going on-?
She took a deep breath as blood seeped through the sides of her mouth
Velis
Why, Merdos, what is happening
Merdos
You killed the president
Velis
No, I didn’t, I-
She coughed hard; there was a giant hole in her stomach
Velis
I loved you
Merdos
I thought you did too
Velis
He did it
Merdos
Who?
Orthak
Me
Velis’ mouth opened wide and a black fist and arm came out and hit Merdos straight in the face. Orthak swiftly came out of her body.
Orthak
I have been waiting for this for too long
Merdos was caught off guard, he's losing it
Merdos
You, you, Orthak, not Velis
Orthak
No one can deny me this pleasure, I’ll make it quick
He entered Merdos’ body
Amya
No!
Crows began to form above Merdos’ body out of thin air
Ilias
Odias, Anastasia, Go!
Ilias’ and Iris’ wolves flew forward to Merdos as the crows began to lift his body, they were biting at any crow they could. Adonis, Fallen, Laydon, and Hema, and Oren were all right there too, James also began shooting, hitting almost every crow but they kept coming. Then Masato and the rest showed up trying to help as well. What madness is this, is this what the shadow regime is capable of, what can we do?
Seris
Help him Amya!
Amya
I don’t want to hit him
Then something happened, that made us all want to cover our ears, Merdos screamed in horror as the crows squawked in harmony. Their eating him, what a horror this is, this is supposed to be a safe place for us. The crows were not just flying in a circle
Orthak
Now we know, now we see where you hide, soon, we will return, and soon you will all die.
The crows were gone. Again, again we lose someone. This is starting to be a broken record. Why is the other side so strong? We all just watched Merdos get devoured. He is one of the strongest ones in our group.
Hayden
Amya, you fool, you blind little girl
Amya turned towards him
Amya
I’m sorry Hayden
Hayden
You did not listen, and now one of our humans is dead
Humans, wait, Hayden is an elf.
Seris
None of us knew
Hayden
I did, you were all just so happy to have Merdos back, now, now look what has happened. You have blood on your hands, blood for a death that shouldn’t of happened. So many funerals we are having, and you preach words Amya, yet you spit on their graves when you trust filth like Velis.
James
Calm down, she’s a lady
Hayden
I don’t believe I was talking to you
James
Well I’m talking to you
Hayden
Hold your tongue beast; you are not to talk to me like that
James
Who the fuck do you think you are?
Hayden
I am Hayden White, the leader of the White Coats
Leader, what is he talking about?
Arkain
Wait, Amya is the leader!
Hayden
Quiet Arkain, she is not. I have allowed her to act as if she was to see what humans are capable of, she failed me. Her soft heart led to the death of a great warrior. Please don’t cry and we will save the speeches of emptiness for another time. Tomorrow we truly strike, and we no longer will talk about it only.
Amya
How do we do that, we don’t know where they are
Hayden
Mr. Gunner, please track down Orthak
James
He doesn’t have a smell, I can’t
Hayden
I didn’t say by his scent, or lack of, but, he is full of blood last I checked
James
I guess that’s why they call you leader
Hayden
Now, now they will. This is the new order.

Chapter Nineteen "To Late For This One"

Bourne walked around the desert trying to find a perfect spot to release the monster. He had found the ball of birth of sand deep under the deserts of Saudi Arabia. He walked over a certain spot of ground and dropped his elemental releaser. The ground began to move.
Bourne
Excellent
Bonka
Stop!
Bourne turned toward us. Here we stood all of WAM, Ilias, and Oswaldo.
Bourne
And who are you?
He took a better look at us
Bourne
White Coats again
Masato spoke at once
Masato
Sky walker, we must ask you to stop or we will kill you
Bourne
No I’m sorry but it is too late for this one, he is already awake.
The ground began to move again, what’s going on?
Arkain
Why do they call you sky walker?
Bourne
Isn’t that obvious
Giant white wings came out of his back, he’s like me.
Bourne
The sky is where we walk
He just said we, there are more of us?
Masato
Arkain, shut up!
I’m not alone
Bourne
You, you are Arkain
His voice, it is doing something to my mind, I can’t stop myself from answering
Arkain
Yes
Bourne
Would you like to come with me?
Yes, I want to go. I want to go and be with others like-
Bonka smacked Arkain’s face
Bonka
Snap out of it boy
I felt little claws sink into my back
Fallen
Sorry I’m late, what did I miss?
Esuik
Your boy was caught in a trance
A growl came from Fallen’s throat, what’s got him so worked up, Bourne just stood there peacefully. The grounds moving again, what is going on?
Bourne
He is finally ready
The sand next to Bourne began to rise and form into a man. His hair was long and brown like the sand and he looked deranged.
Bourne
Hello Doom
The sand man spoke in a scary voice
Doom
I’m free
Bourne
Yes, you are. You are coming with me.
Doom
Come with you?
This guy looks angry
Bourne
I won’t repeat myself
Doom turned his back on us
Doom
What’s that mean?
Bourne
By order of mother you are to answer to us
Doom
Mother is no authority to me
Sand quickly moved forward toward Bourne but was stopped by some invisible wall.
Bourne
Please, I do not wish to battle
Doom
Then die
More sand flew toward Bourne but was stopped like nothing
Bourne
You cannot hurt me
This was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen, sand attacking an angel, what power, is this what I am capable of to?
Fallen
Arkain, think rationally, you aren’t one of them
Not one of them, but the wings
Fallen
That doesn’t mean anything
Maybe he is right
Masato
We must get rid of the sand
His hands glowed gray, he charged towards Doom
Bonka
Glass case
She snapped her hands together and giant glass appeared all around Doom
Doom
I will not be caged again
The glass was broken and he was now aiming for Bonka, daggers flew at him from behind and hit him in the back, but they fell to the ground as his back turned into sand
Doom
You cannot touch me
This is insane, they can’t touch him. Masato was sucking in as much sand as he could with his hands. Ilias could not get closer to Doom just like me. Bonka, Esuik and Espy could only dodge and attack, but it was hopeless. They could not hurt him.
Arkain
Oswaldo, aim for his head
He shot and arrow but Doom’s head fell to sand
Oswaldo
No fucking use, we can’t touch him
Adonis
We must retreat
He was right, we had to retreat
Doom
I will destroy all you know
Bourne appeared behind him
Bourne
That is what we want
Doom stopped
Doom
To destroy all they have ever known?
Bourne
Precisely
Bourne and Doom have found an agreement it seems, we can’t let them get away
Bourne
Let’s go
Doom
Fine
Doom fell into sand; Bourne flew up into the sky like a bullet
Arkain
Let me go after him!
Masato
No! he is to fast and he Is far greater in power then you are
Arkain
I don’t care
Fallen
Arkain shut up!
For the first time ever I heard Ilias’ guardian speak
Odias
Calm yourself young one
Ilias
Odias, leave him be, he is to arrogant to know any better
What, fuck this guy and his words!
Odias
I am simply helping a fellow child
Ilias didn’t respond to that
Odias
The ground, it’s moving again
The ground was shaking hard now
Masato
We must go now; Doom must be causing the sand to rise
We were gone in an instant, back home, and just barely.
Masato
This is outrageous; we have had nothing but failure these last couple of weeks
He transformed into a giant white tiger and walked away from all of us.
Bonka
Relax everyone, his pride is just hurt, no worries
She and the others transformed into their cat figures as well and followed him into the forest on the edge of where we stood. Merdos appeared out of nowhere, it was good to see him after so long, wait-
Arkain
What is she doing here?
That murderer Velis just standing right next to Merdos as if all was okay
Merdos
Calm yourself Arkain
Arkain
She killed my mother!
Merdos
It was her job
Arkain
Okay, so that justifies it?
Velis
You wouldn’t understand
She was going to tell me I don’t understand? Fuck this, I walked forward and as I did Merdos stood in front of her
Merdos
Arkain, watch yourself, she is on our side now
After his sentence ended his shotgun was resting on the side of Merdos’ head.
James
You sure about that?
At the same time there was a giant silver gun at Velis’ temple, who is this guy?
James
You see, I was coming to see Amya and I noticed a scent I was suppose to look for after was leading this way. How odd it was to me. A scent that I found when trying to track the murders’ of President Romberg, it is right in front of me.
Merdos
Where are you getting at?
James
That your little whore is a murderer
Merdos shifted to the side
James
Don’t move friend, I won’t hesitate to shoot you
Merdos stood where he was, another scary person
Seris
That’s enough James. I thought I’d soon find out where the wolf is.
Where the wolf is?
