Chapter Fourteen "The Three Sided Coin"

Glado
Tick tock tick tock, across the plains of hell they will flock

Glado stood on top of a bridge above a freeway
Glado
Tock tick tock tick, sometimes I make myself sick
He laughed
Glado
Now I’ve been here for almost twenty minutes, where are they?
He looked up and down the freeway
Glado
I want to leave, I want to go, but masters orders I must obey
He laughed
Glado
A freeway is always left so alone and unguarded, time to get this chaos started.
He laughed harder then ever and then cars on the freeway began to erupt into balls of fire
Glado
I love a good fire show, brings out the best in me
Shards of glass went flying at him but he dodged them
Glado
Not nice at all, attacking when I’m not looking, well you always were a bit of a pain Bonka.
No longer was Bonka the little orange cat, she was a tall white women with orange hair.
Bonka
Look at the damage you’ve done Glado, today is the last time you will do such a thing
Glado
I’m sure it won’t be
He began to blow more cars up
Glado
Come on where are the others
Masato, tall with grey hair flowing appeared right next to Glado with his hands glowing grey
Masato
Hands of time!
But Glado dodged each swing
Glado
Still slow, and your suppose to be the leader
He laughed
Glado
One of you throws glass, the other makes things disappear, come on where are the hard attacks
The burning cars on fire became airborne and flew towards Glado
Glado
Hello Dynobin

He said as he blew them up back to the ground
Glado
Woopty fucking do, you can move things with your mind
Waves of movement shot forward and knocked Glado off the bridge
Dynobin
Not all I can do

Glado got up and cleaned his cloak
Glado
You can move your energy, who cares?
Dynobin
Long time no see Glado
Glado
And it will be the last time you see me
Bonka
Still as arrogant as ever
Masato
My hands of time shall be your demise
Glado
My hands of time shall be your demise

He mocked him
Glado
Show me fool; don’t just say it, that is so boring
Daggers came into view flying towards Glado; he dodged each one with ease
Glado
I swear, so you can control your weapons paths, you are so boring Espy
Espy appeared, small with black hair in a ponytail
Espy
It ends tonight
Glado
Yeah, WAM does, I was just about to say that, thanks though
A high pitch scream erupted through the air and Glado fell to his knees
Glado
Shut that bitch up
Esuik appeared behind Glado, dagger in hand and stuck it into his back
Esuik
It’s over
Glado’s body disappeared from the cloak. He appeared again on top of the bridge
Glado
Nice move Esuik, you I recall were very precise
He laughed
Glado
But it will take more then a little stab to kill me, I’m sure you all remember that
He laughed again
Espy
You laugh too much
Glado
I find it keeps me sane
Esuik
As if you haven’t gone insane already
Glado
Evil, malicious, masochistic, and unmerciful, but no not insane, you can’t perform amazing light shows like mine if you are insane, I’d blow myself up if I were too.
Bonka
That would be great if you would
Glado
I’m sure it would, but seeing how it won’t happen, I’m sorry to say dreams won’t come true. Now, with that said, I’d like you to meet my new weapons, and their called the Blades of Eruption, let me show you
He appeared next to Dynobin and swung the oddly shaped blades, Dynobin’s energy created a barrier but as the blade collide with it a giant explosion happened and Dynobin soared across the destructed freeway.
Glado
Oh god you would have thought he’s smart enough to know what eruption means
He laughed
Glado
I love a good show
And so they fought, although most of the battle WAM took the defensive doing nothing more but dodging his blades of eruption and other eruptions he simply made with his mind
Glado
So Dynobin and Espy, remember when you got married and I blew up the church you tied the knot at right before you kissed
Espy
Bastard!
She charged
Glado
And remember your vows about till death do you part, yadayada?
He dodged her daggers like nothing
Glado
Well you shouldn’t love who you work with because,
As he swung his sword to Espy’s back Dynobin jumped in the way and it hit him in the chest and erupted, as the smoked cleared Espy lay on the ground and Dynobin’s body laid on the ground burned blacked.
Glado
That’s what you get when you let your heart win
He laughed
Glado
Oh this is just like a movie!
Glass walls appeared around Espy and then Esuik’s screech shattered it and together glass and sound raced to Glado
Glado
I don’t think so

A giant explosion swallowed everything
Glado
One down, four to go, but where is dear uptight Masato
Masato
Here
His hand connected with one of Glado’s swords and the sword disappeared
Masato
No more sword
Glado
I have another one dumb ass
He swung but Masato moved
Glado
Still you fight? No retreat after I killed one of your comrades?
Masato
He and I knew what was at stake
Glado
Oh that is just too harsh
Masato
The prosperity of human dominance is more important then us
Glado
Yeah, yeah I don’t care, if a person with nothing special is more important then us glorious creations of glory, then I guess we just see through different eyes, oh well.
The Freeway began to crumble wave after wave of explosion but they could not land a striking blow on Glado
Glado
I guess age has worn you boys down, and where is Merdos?
No one answered
Glado
Oh sore subject? Never mind then, well you’re all boring, I’m just going to incinerate this fucking place
Astrid
I don’t think so
On top of the bridge stood Astrid, Bourne, Rylan, and Rayn looking down on Glado and WAM.
Glado
Holy shit, you got to be kidding me, I knew today would be a reunion, but not this big of a get together. Astrid, Bourne, and Rylan, to long it has been, I see you are still more beautiful then any women I’ve ever laid eyes on.
Astrid
Hold your tongue fiend, your flattering I do not require to soil my heart
Glado
You were always a bit of a bitch, although I only fought you once, we thought you three were dead. Seems you’re very much alive.
Bourne
The likes of you cannot kill us
Glado
We almost did, luckily you little sneaky bastards got away
Masato
You ran away and let Amros die?
Astrid
I do not believe his words were directed to you human
Glado
Human? They are WAM
Bourne
WAM? They are apart of the White Coats then, I would like to kill them
Glado
No, their mine
Rylan
I don’t think we need your permission Glado
Glado
Then I will kill you
Explosions appeared around The Cloud but it seemed like an invisible barrier was blocking them from getting burned, then it stopped.
Bourne
You don’t seem to be anything without your master and his eyes
Glado
Well you three are Gods, what could I do against that
Rylan
Didn’t you say you’d be killing us?
Glado
A figure of speech
Bourne
Well then, we will kill the WAM
He turned but they were gone
Glado
Sneaky aren’t they
Rylan
No worries, we can still kill you
Glado
I don’t think so
He was set on fire, and then he was gone
Astrid
Clean this up Rayn
Rayn
Your friends are idiotic
Rylan
I wouldn’t call them friends, more like the other sides of this war
Rayn
How rare, a three sided coin

Chapter Thirteen "Tomorrow is My Tomorrow"

Suri
Come in

She leaves the door open?
Arkain
Hey, your door was open
Suri
Yeah, that’s why I said come in
God she makes me feel so dumb
Arkain
I’m smarter then you think
Suri
Okay, I never said you weren’t
Already messing up, she still wants me though
Oren
Suri
Holy shit talking leopard, damn, we’re not alone.
Suri
Yes Oren
Oren
I’m going out; Fallen and I have some papers to work on
Yes
Suri
Alright, see you when you get back
Oren
And boy, watch your words
What does that mean? Well at least we’re finally alone.
Arkain
So
Suri
So
Arkain
How long have you known Oren?
Suri
Just as long as you’ve known Fallen
Okay stupid question
Suri
You are just as weird as I thought you were
Arkain
I told you-
Suri
No, no, it’s okay, I never said I didn’t like weird.
She is so pretty, I don’t want to leave this moment of life
Suri
Hello, Arkain
And there I go
Arkain
Oh what happened?
Suri
I don’t know, you dazed out and the foods ready
Arkain
Alrighty, let’s eat
We sat there and ate. Every movement she made caught my attention. I mean, I’ve had other girls in my life, but not as pretty and independent as this one. We talked about politics, movies we can see when this is over, if it ends, and we also talked about what we like in the opposite sex, I seem like the guy she wants, and she is the girl I need. Yeah I said need, what more can I ask for.
Arkain
Well the dinner was great
Suri
You’re just saying that
Arkain
No, I mean it, I really do
Suri
Thanks
Arkain
No problem gorgeous
Suri
Oh shut up
Arkain
I’m just kidding, you’re not gorgeous
Suri
How relieving
Arkain
You’re beautiful
Suri
Thank you
Arkain
No, don’t tell me that, your not beautiful because I said it, you are because you are.
Suri
So cheesy I could make nachos
Good thing I like nachos
Arkain
Well do you like nachos?
Suri
Yeah
Arkain
Well then I guess we will be making a lot
We laughed, this was the first time I felt normal since this all began


Ximendos
I can never count on anyone
Ximendos stood outside of a bar waiting on something. He wore a suit of all black and his short black hair dangled in the rain; his grey eyes were one with the sky. He walked into the bar.
Bartender
Hello sir, how can I help you?
Ximendos
Help yourself
Bartender
I beg your pardon
Ximendos walked up to the bar
Ximendos
In a world falling apart, I would simply like you to quit trying to help others, and help yourself, if you try and pull others up, they will only pull you down
Bartender
Are you okay sir?
Ximendos
I don’t think I’ve felt any better, why is there something wrong with my face?
Bartender
No, you just seem like your not all there
The bartender pointed at his head
Ximendos
I assure you I am, life has just taken a very great turn for me, and you could understand that right? Oh wait, never mind, I’m sure your daughter dying of cancer could never be a healed in your heart.
Bartender
How the fuck, don’t you, how did you know that?
Ximendos
Or can the question be, how do I not know?
The bartender pulled out a shot gun
Bartender
Now, you need to go motherfucker
Ximendos
No, I meeting some friends here
Bartender
Go, or I’ll shoot your fucking head off
Ximendos
Will that be before or after yours hits the ground?
The bartenders head fell down to the ground as if it were cut from his body by an invisible sword
Ximendos
Now, if I were someone, I wouldn’t go picking fights with me
He laughed and sat down at the nearest table
Ximendos
Akasha, how long will you keep me waiting?
Akasha appeared next to the table and sat down
Akasha
My lord
Ximendos
What news do you bring me?
Akasha
No children have been killed sir
Ximendos
I am okay with this, I welcome this
Akasha
The White Coats are now fully active, they have broken into many of our facilities and left them burning, the WAM is on our trail, every time we stay in a spot for more then ten minutes they appear.
Ximendos
How exciting, have Glado stay in one spot for twenty minutes, let them bring all of WAM, I want Glado to kill them all.
Akasha
It will be done my lord. There is another thing, I believe they have someone working in our ranks for them; Malic has informed me of this
Ximendos
That does not matter anymore; we are moving forward with our plan
Akasha
Already master?
Ximendos
Yes, I believe it is time to break these people, throw tradition out the window and smash the normalcy they dedicate their lives to.
Akasha
When does this happen?
Ximendos
Tomorrow morning and the others will accompany me to the white house.
Akasha
Very well then, I will alert the others
Ximendos
Do so, and also, bring me Velis, I don’t think I want Orthak to kill her, have him penetrate someone else’s body.
Akasha
It will be done my lord
She disappeared
Ximendos
Tomorrow is my tomorrow

He laughed

Chapter Twelve "The Eyes That See All"

Suri
Hey Arkain wait up!

Deng I am just irresistible
Fallen
I doubt it’s that
Where did he come from?
Fallen
I’m done with some paper work
Arkain
Paper work? You don’t even have hands!
Fallen
I like how you don’t even use your imagination
Here she comes
Suri
Hey what’s up?
Arkain
Nothing, just had a run in with Ilias
Suri
Oh wow, I don’t think he likes you very much
Arkain
Why do you say that?
Suri
Well earlier he said he didn’t like you much
Arkain
Oh
Fallen
Can’t win them all over
True that
Arkain
Do you have a problem with me?
Suri
No, why would i?
Arkain
I don’t know
Suri
Your kind of weird
Arkain
Different is more like it
Suri
Sure
Fallen
Hello Suri
Suri
Hi fallen, I swear you got the most adorable guardian
Adorable? Yeah because that’s what I was going for
Fallen
Thank you, where is Oren?
Suri
She said she had paperwork to do
What the fuck? Paws do paperwork?
Fallen
I just finished mine
Suri
Good, then you both have some time on your hands
Arkain
Yeah, we do, lots of time
Suri
Well then, I was wondering if you’d like to come by my room later and we can have a little dinner
SCORE!
Fallen
Well I may have to do some-
Arkain
That’s okay, you don’t have to come
Just us two
Suri
Okay, so around seven then?
Arkain
Seven sounds great, just right
Suri
Okay, well then I will see you then
Arkain
Yes, I will be seeing you, because we’re having dinner, at your place, later, at seven
Suri
Yeah, well then, see you then
She walked away
Fallen
You are really reckless
Arkain
Well reckless just got a date
Fallen
I wouldn’t call it a date
What does he know about dates?
Fallen
Would it be a date if I was going?
Arkain
Your not, so who cares?
Fallen
You really need to grow up
Arkain
Pass, I’m just living life
Fallen
Growing up is apart of living life-
Arkain
Please, no lectures right now!
Fallen
If you say so
Arkain
And I did
Fallen
Oh and it just gets worse
Oswaldo
Hey guy’s what’s up?
Arkain
Nothing much man, I got a date
Oswaldo
A date? With who Fallen?
Arkain
No idiot, with Suri
Oswaldo
Oh well that isn’t surprising, I thought I saw a twinkle in her eye when she met you
Arkain
Everyone gets a twinkle when they see me
Oswaldo
Wow your heads big
Arkain
Naw, can’t help it if the ladies like me, you should have seen how Amya and Seris checked me out
Fallen
Your ego is bigger then the oceans
Arkain
But anyways, our dates tonight at seven
Oswaldo
She’s a good girl dude
Arkain
Does that mean I’m a bad boy?
Oswaldo
No, you’re just an idiot trying to get a girl
Arkain
Just let me do my thing
Oswaldo
Well I’ve seen you do your thing, and it doesn’t work
Arkain
Whatever, she wants me
Oswaldo
No, you want her
Fallen
Boys
By the pond sat Iris while Ilias was throwing rocks into the water.
Iris
He did not mean any harm brother
Ilias
We do not need poisonous words in our ears
Iris
I wasn’t aware of his misdoing
Ilias
You are not aware of many things I am
Iris
Our eyes see the same things brother, don’t kid yourself
Ilias
Your eyes aren’t as developed as mine
Iris
In what sense?
Ilias
All of them, you are young
Iris
Youth does not hold me back, you do
Ilias
I am only protecting you
Iris
Protecting me? We are walking into a war; you see it as clearly as I do! And you are protecting me from what? From a boy who is just as worthy of the name of hope as we are
Ilias
You wouldn’t understand
Iris
Your afraid of him aren’t you
Ilias
Be quiet
Iris
The elders will not let him join them, even if he is just like them
Ilias
We can’t rely on weak people sister
Iris
Yet we must
Ilias
The elders do not know of the sky walkers, the best option is to hope Arkain is killed
Iris
Dark words brother, has your mind already been slipping into darkness already?
Ilias
No, it’s just; I think that is what must be done for the greater good
Iris
The greater good for what, we can see in front of us, what is happening at the moment we’re looking, but we cannot see the future
Ilias
I can’t see forward, nor will I pretend to, but we know what it’s like to be alone, he will seek refuge with them, you just watch sister. These lights we are suppose to be will burn out
Iris
Pessimistic thoughts shine through you. Perhaps there is an alternative
Ilias
Yes, there always is, yet I don’t see how those alternatives can be reached. They will come, the third force in this war, and they will persuade Arkain into their group. We see them in the sky, and soon they will land in our circle.

Iris
The time will come, when Arkain must make a choice, he is pure brother, and he will know what to do.
Ilias
The purest are always the ones they want
Iris
We shall see, till then, it is in tomorrow
Ilias
I wonder though, should we tell the elders that the water of the earth is now moving with the sky walkers?
Iris
No, we must not intervene with what is only seen through our eyes
Ilias
As I thought, soon every force on earth will be ready to wage war
Iris
And we will be doing the same
Ilias
War, it’s a funny game, it’s a good thing we can see all
Iris
All is in our line of vision

Chapter Eleven "For What It's Worth"

Glado and Brutus stood outside of a large white mansion on the sidewalk, invisible to the human eye. Inside the window in front of them was a family of three. Two parents and one child sat at a dinner table.
Brutus
I’m hungry
Glado
What does that have to do with anything?
Brutus
I didn’t say it had to do with anything
Glado
Then why say it if you know I don’t care and it’s not relevant to why we are here?
Brutus
I see food, how’s that for relevance?
Glado
You’re an idiot
Brutus
Whatever
Glado
So, Ximendos said not to kill the kid, but the parents can be disposed of. Simple if you ask me, their just humans. I still don’t understand how Ilias and Iris hold the Magni eyes yet their parents are normal.
Brutus
Beats me, I’m not the smart one remember
Glado
Right you are, well I guess. Well let me kill the mom, you take care of the father. I swear master is so sick with these plans to kill their families.
Brutus
Who’s sicker, the one making the plan or doing it?
Glado
Yeah I guess our hands are the dirty ones
Brutus
Let’s go
They walked forward onto the lawn
Glado
I love being on the side with no rules or remorse, it’s so limitless.
Irene and Landon sat down at the dinner table with their son James. The table was quite, nothing heard but moving forks.
Irene
Where are they Landon?
Landon
I don’t know, I am out of ideas
Irene
I hope their okay, I don’t know what I’d do if I found out they were, they were-
James
Dead
Irene
James! Don’t you dare say that!
James
Sorry mom
Landon
You always hear parents on TV saying their not suppose to bury their kids and you never think it could happen to you, never think your world can spiral down like those on TV.
The window exploded and glass came falling all around. Irene grabbed James as fast as she could to run upstairs.
Landon
Run!
Glado
Brutus, handle him, I will get the others
Landon
You won’t pass
Glado
Little man, what can you do against us?
Landon
Shut up faggot
Glado
Faggot? Blue eyes don’t make me a faggot sir. Change of heart Brutus, you get the mom. Come on old man; let me show you what this so called faggot has to offer
Right beside Landon a small explosion came out of thin air and tossed him aside.
Brutus
Excuse me
Brutus walked out of the room
Glado
Now, are you out already? I’m just getting started. I swear you humans are no fun at all. Your son I hear is more exciting then you are. It’s funny, I heard you saying something about parents burying their children. I’m sure that won’t be happening. As far as I can tell, no one will be burying you, and neither your kids.

Brutus walked up the stairs
Brutus
Hello, where are you? I love hide and seek!
From around the corner a fire extinguisher came and hit him in the face, but it didn’t seem to have an effect.
Irene
Bastards!
Brutus
What did I do? I didn’t kill your husband
Irene
Fuck you!
He grabbed her by the neck
Brutus
I don’t like being called mean things
She squirmed for a little, and then he snapped her neck.
Brutus
No more talking now
A little boy began to sock him in the legs
James
Let go of my mom
Brutus
Okay
Brutus dropped her
James
You asshole
Brutus
I don’t like being called names
James
You killed my mom, I hate you!
He kicked the boy and he went through the window on the wall. Glado came running in
Glado
You stupid idiot, you weren’t suppose to kill the boy!
Brutus
Sorry, I don’t like people calling me names
Glado
Master will not be happy with this at all, not at all my pebbled brain friend.

On top of the Hoover Dam stood Bourne, Astrid, and Rylan.
Rylan
So what is this ones name?
Bourne
Her name is Rayn
Astrid
These elementals are strong, so at first they will want to pose a threat.
Bourne
So this won’t be as simple as we want it to be then
Astrid
No, and we have more elementals to awaken, plus the others we must speak with
Rylan
Can we just get this one done with?
Bourne dropped a blue orb down from the top
Rylan
Nothing’s happening
The water began to move and then began to rise; a woman appeared from the water. It was Rayn, the elemental God of water.
Rayn
What purpose have I been awaken for?

Astrid
You are in no comfort to ask questions, you are in our service
Rayn
Service? For millions of years I have slept while still swaying the earth and now I am awaken and once again in the service of a human-
Astrid
We are no humans, do not use that word on us again women
Rylan
Rayn, we wish for your assistance
Rayn
Assistance? I thought I was already in your service young one
Rylan
We have a proposition for you; we wish to free this world of its death grip, humans.
Rayn
Sounds pleasant
Rylan
So then you will join us?
Rayn
If it means having our world back, then yes, my sword are yours and mothers
Bourne
Good, then you will come with us

Down by a lake Iris and Ilias sat by the water, Arkain slowly approached them.
Arkain
Hey Iris, can I talk to you?
Ilias
For what reason?
Arkain
I was talking to her-
Ilias put his hand on Arkain’s chest
Ilias
You will step no further; she does not need to exchange words with you
Arkain
Get your hand off me, and who the hell are you to say who she can exchange words with?
Ilias
I am her brother
Iris
Please brother, he means no harm
Ilias
I did not say he did, he is no threat
Arkain
Can’t I just speak to her?
Ilias
I must ask you to walk away
What the fuck is his deal?
Arkain
I should have done that last night when Malic knocked your ass to the ground
Ilias
That is irrelevant
Arkain
Your words are, you stupid little boy, acting like your so smart, what do you know about life? What do you know about losing someone?
Fuck this guys a fucking prick
Ilias
My family died last night
Wait what?
Arkain
What are you talking about?
Iris
The presence of our parents and little brother no longer float on this sad world
Ilias
Iris, please do not speak to him again
Arkain
How do you know your parents are dead?
Ilias
Our eyes allow us to see such things, we have a different view of life then you Arkain, and your simple mind would not be able to comprehend
Another person who thinks I’m a moron
Arkain
Do you know who did it?
Ilias
Glado and Brutus, they are a sweeping darkness on our homelands
Arkain
Do you even care? You seem to lack emotions
Ilias
Emotions are pointless, what is the point of crying when the tears will be gone seconds later. We do not dwell on seconds passed.
I don’t know if he’s strong or just heartless
Ilias
Our losses will grow, we are okay with it
Arkain
Okay with it? You honestly do not care about your parents being killed
Ilias
It is irrelevant
What is wrong with him?
Iris
Arkain, you would not understand, your heart is more clinging then ours.
Arkain
I just wanted to tell you thanks for last night Iris, you really saved me
Iris
That is irrelevant
Everything’s irrelevant today
Arkain
For what it’s worth, thanks.

Chapter Ten "Sheep and Wolves"

It’s been two weeks since my life changed. It’s been hard but I’ve managed, all of us have. Who would of ever thought a simple boy like me would be thrust into a world I didn’t know existed in my own world. Sometimes I wake up and I wonder if this will all still be happening. The other day I was eating breakfast and the back of my neck tingled, all my hairs stood up, it was an odd sensation. Kind of like the one I got when this all happened, but stronger. It doesn’t hurt but it’s a funny tickling sensation, as if someone was talking about me at that moment and I felt it. Well now I’m out of the White Coats base and I don’t know why I’m here, it’s crazy because I’ve never done this before.
Me
Bless me father for I have sinned, this is my first confession
Father Bob
What sin could you have committed my son that would bring you to the chapel at this time of night?
Me
Not what I’ve done, but what I’ve allowed to happen
Father Bob
I’m afraid I am confused
Me
Is it a sin if someone dies because of me?
Father Bob
No, not if you were not aware of it happening
Me
Yeah, that’s what they told me
Father Bob
They? Who are they?
Me
No one, you wouldn’t understand
Father Bob
Please son do not belittle my intelligence
Me
I don’t father, but before two weeks ago, I wouldn’t have understood either
Father Bob
Are you okay young one?
Me
More then okay, for the first time in my life, I feel like I’m free, and the sky is my home.
Father Bob
Will this be all for tonight?
Me
Father, do you believe in angels?
Father Bob
Well, of course I do, my religion leads me to believing in such things. I must admit at times it gets a little hard to believe in such things without seeing them, but I believe in my faith
Me
You’d like to see one?
Father Bob
Before I died, yes
Me
Seeing is believing

Arkain walked out of the little chapel with his wings extended.
Father Bob
Where are you-
He saw them and was dumbstruck
Father Bob
Oh my god
He fell to the ground and then there were claps that echoed through the church, but they were not from father Bob.
Big figure
Well I see you like to inspire good in some, oh where are me manners, the names Malic, nice to bloody meet you
Who the fuck is he? Wow this dude is huge, with a big ugly brown coat and a giant hammer on his back and an English accent. Father Bob ran away, who could blame him.
Malic
You going to introduce yerslef or what mate?
Me
Don’t act like you don’t know who I am
Malic
Ah ya got me cunt, we all know who you and yer litto mates are. I and many others have been hired to kill ya all.
Me
I suppose
Malic
Why don’t you just make this quick so I can go home and rest will ya?
Me
Did you really think I’d come here alone?

A white tiger named Masato walked out behind me and stood next to me.
Masato
You should go Malic
Malic
Holy hell is it you Masato? Long time no see ya bloody bastard! Is the rest of the WAM here then?
An orange cat named Bonka walked on the tip of the pews
Bonka
Hello Malic, haven’t showered since we last met I see
Malic
Right you are ma dear
Malic
Now where are Merdos, Espy, Dynobin, Esuik, and Merda?

Bonka
They have other missions to attend to
Malic
Aw man I was hoping we could have a litto reunion is all
Masato
We knew you’d be coming tonight
Malic
Oh really? A litto spy you all got in the Regime then
Bonka
What does it matter, you die tonight old friend

Wow the little cat was straight to the point
Malic
And who is going to kill me?
Me
Us
Malic
Us?

An arrow hit him in the shoulder
Malic
Bloody hell what was that for?
Oswaldo
Your left arm is out of service
He tried to move his arm but no good
Malic
What bloody good aim ya got there ya litto wanker!
He laughed
Malic
I got good aim to
Faster then you would of thought he could, he grab his giant hammer and lunged it at Oswaldo, he had no time to move, it was going to collide with him. It fell to the ground in front of Oswaldo.
Malic
What the fuck?

Amara
Your welcome Waldo
Oswaldo
Thanks
Malic
The little girl can make shields? Oh what a team ya got here Masato.
Masato
That isn’t all we hold, this is just three of the children
His hammer flew back to him
Malic
Well then, let’s have some fun then
He began to spin around with his hammer and then he released it, it spun so fast it looked like a fan. I dodged it by going into the air, Oswaldo easily moved and Amara stopped it.
Malic
This is awesome
He ran towards Amara
Malic
Try and stop me now
His shoulder collided with her and she flew into the wall behind her. Did she even put up a shield?
Malic
Your little shield can't protect ya against me darling. I can’t be stopped, I am an unstoppable force. You would have thought your master would have told ya, guess they overestimated you.
He laughed and ran towards Oswaldo
Malic
What good are yer arrows boy if they can’t hurt me
Another collision and Oswaldo was on the ground. I guess this isn’t those super hero movies we read about and watched where the heroes are always winning
Malic
One more

Suddenly Adonis appeared scratching and biting Malic
Malic
Stupid animal

Then a giant white bear came through the doors behind Malic and ran towards him
Malic
You fuckers never give up do ya?
He socked them both to the ground, Adonis became a small little hawk and Hema became a little white ferret.
Malic
You idiots can’t stop me with physical attacks-
Black walls began to form around him and began to close in on him
Malic
How exciting, dancing pudding!
His hammer destroyed the black walls
Malic
More please more!
Ilias jumped down in front of Malic with a sword in hand
Ilias
My turn
Malic
Jolly ho!
That’s my cue as well, I draw my sword
Malic
Come on angel boy, you want some to!
Stupid ape!
Malic
I haven’t had this much fun since I fought Masato and Merdos at the same time!
Ilias got him in the stomach, but the sword shattered, Ilias was socked in the face and he fell to the ground
Malic
Sleeping in Gods house? We can’t have that

He kicked Ilias and he flew across the floor
Me
You dickhead!
Malic
What’s wrong? Was that yer boyfriend?
He kicked Arkain in the stomach and he fell to his back
Malic
Come on, you got to have more to offer
Iris
Stop, please
Malic
What?
He turned around. There stood Iris with two wolves.
Iris
I don’t want to hurt you sir
Malic
Hurt me, your friends couldn’t, what makes you think a litto pearl like yerself can do that
He walked towards her
Iris
Please, I do not want anything to happen
Malic
Come on ya litto bitch
And then Suri’s fist connected with his face and he flew back towards the front door, he fell on his back.
Malic
What the hell?
He wiped his mouth as blood seeped through his lips.
Malic
How did that happen?
Suri
She stopped you from using your protective abilities
Masato
Now you are defeated Malic, you are coming with us
There was a roar, like from a big cat
Malic
Well, looks like me mums calling me home, see you at the white-
From the black night behind him a panthers face appeared and sunk his teeth into Malic’s shoulder
Malic
Oh shit

He was dragged outside into the night and there was more clapping. A figure in a black cloak walked into the church
Cloaked figure
You know, I was never a man of God, but to fight in a church is not very classy
Masato
Children, get behind me!
I picked up Ilias and we all ran behind him, what is Masato afraid of?
Cloaked figure
Aw what is wrong Masato? I wanted to play with the kids to
Bonka
Shut up monster!
Cloaked Figure
Oh well look what we have here, Bonka to, last time I seen you was when I was battling every member of the WAM at the same time.
Did he say every member of WAM at the same time? Who the fuck is he?
Bonka
How about we do that again, it won’t be as easy the second time around Glado

Glado, he is one of the leaders of the Shadow Regime
Glado
Smart and witty, the name of magician is quite befitting. How about I just kill you now Bonka? You and Masato, how devastating would that be for the White Coats.
Masato
Glado, walk away from this fight
Glado
I’ve never been one to walk away, neither has the Regime. We are moving stronger and stronger everyday, the white coats fear us, the humans are oblivious to us, and even the clouds above are watching us.
He lowered his hood, he was young. His hair blond and his eyes blue.
Glado
I must admit however, your children are smarter then I expected, the lady we killed did not bring her son to us.
Me
That was my mother!
Masato
NO!
Glado
Good boy, playing into my trap
I want to kill him! How dare he say that shit!
Glado
You want to hurt me boy? So then do it if you’re so powerful. No, I didn’t think so. You see, all you dogs love to bark at strangers, but when it comes down to it, you’re a tad bit to afraid to actually bite. But you’re no dog, and I’m no mailman. You’ve entered a realm where wolves eat sheep, Your just a sheep little Arkain.
Bonka
Don’t listen to his words Arkain!

Masato
I’m done with talking
Glado
That’s great, I am to.
His eyes glowed red
Masato
GO!

Glado was like a walking bomb. His explosion devoured the entire church. When the smoke cleared Glado noticed they all were gone.
Glado
Master is not going to be happy with this, no not at all.

Chapter Nine "The Cloud"

A figure wearing a grey cloak was standing in the sky surrounded by clouds. There with long white hair flowing through her cloak was Astrid.
Astrid
I am here mother
A piece of cloud began to move and form into a shape of a human
Mother
I hurt
Astrid
I know mother
Mother
Where are Bourne and Rylan?
Bourne
Here
They both appeared
Mother
Where have you been?
Bourne
Preparing the elemental releasers
Mother
Excellent work my son, and what about you young Rylan?
Rylan
Nothing
Mother
Nothing is always something
Rylan
I’m sorry mother but my business is my own.
Mother
I see, well then, to our business then
Astrid
The White Coats have found their warriors in children
Mother
Children? How heroic to put their hopes in children
Bourne
Well that is why they are the children of hope
Astrid
They however are not much of a threat at this present time; but they could be as time progresses; therefore I would like to ask you if we can begin our mission
Mother
I agree. These children are not of any use to us at the moment so we will disregard them. However, in the event these children should get in our way, kill them.
Rylan
But maybe they could help mother
Mother
Help?
Rylan
Yes, maybe we can use them for our bidding
Astrid
That idea does not sit well with me mother; humans are not to be trusted.
Bourne
Even those with special abilities
Rylan
If we were to ask them for their aid
Astrid
Aid? We do not need aid, they cannot oppose us
Rylan
Yes, they can
Mother
Ximendos and Amros are no longer a threat, their eyes will not stop you now that there is only one pair
Rylan
There are others
Bourne
Others? What is this you speak of?
Rylan
In the children of hope, two wielders have been born
Astrid
Lies
Rylan
Sister, I do not lie, I beseech you to listen.
Mother
Let him speak
Rylan
There are two children, boy and girl, brother and sister, Ilias and Iris. They wield the Magni eyes, the only as we know to be able to battle us. Years ago we were enslaved by Amros with his eyes, then we were made to battle Ximendos and his goons, we were not told Ximendos had those eyes as well, and we were deceived. The children neither the White Coats know Amros and Ximendos did not clash! If we were to reveal the truth about their leader maybe they would understand.
Bourne
Understand? Rylan, Amros is dead, and Ximendos will fall next, but these children, they will not hear it, this was before their time, and the White Coats did not know of our enslavement. They do not know that above Japan we did not face only Ximendos and his clan, we faced Amros to, they believe we fled, they would never believe their beloved Amros’ real plan was to kill us and claim supremacy over the humans with his brother. The thought of them knowing would cause an uproar, them wanting to kill us because we killed Amros.
Rylan
Even with that said, if these children harness their abilities they will oppose us, why not use them for our benefit. Get them to our side before they are standing in front of us.
Astrid
I see what he is saying mother
MotherWe shall see then, till then-
Rylan
Wait mother, I have one more proposal
Mother
Yes
Rylan
They also have a boy named Arkain
Astrid
And what does this human mean to us
Rylan
He is an Angel
Mother
How can this be?
Rylan
I do not know mother, but we must get him to comply with us, he is as big of a threat as a Magni wielder.
Mother
Very well, you shall move on all three children once the elementals warriors have been released.
Bourne
We are ready to do so
Rylan
How can we simply capture three White Coat members when we do not know where they call home?
Astrid
We wait for them to surface under our skies, have you forgotten why we are called The Cloud?
Rylan
Right, well we must not harm them
Mother
You seem to be motivated by some emotion my son
Rylan
No mom, I just want things to go as planned.
Mother
Yes, yes, to long we have waited, watching as I burn and cry. The humans have destroyed so much. Even to this day most do not believe in their global warming speeches, but, yes, we know what is going on, I am dying. If we do not change this cycle, I will die in no less then six years. We must diminish all humans and whatever else that take refuge on my belly. Those children were not the only ones to be born with a purpose, with that said, begin what you were born to do.
They all disappeared and the cloud went back to floating across the sky.
