....

Acronix lays on the pieces of rock and limestone, every last bit of motion left him.

His eyes dare not open...
His breathing slowly stopped..
His element lost...
Blood seeped down the cracks of rock...

All this, just for TC to feel satisfaction. The creatures mission was complete. It left Krux's body, it left Krux to weep in despair.

Krux forced his body to sit down, not only the pain was unbearable, but because that thing killed his own twin. No...he killed his own twin. His arrogant killed him. His judgment. His thoughts. His anger.

He was responsible for his demise, he could of prevented this...

"I...I loved you...b..but I now..now l...lost you.." Krux barely could even speak to himself. He watched as everyone stopped their defences and attacks. He watched as a blanket of silence fell over. So many shocked faces, so many hurt faces. And one other in despair than himself.

Lloyd was crying.

"Acronix!" Lloyd yelled, he ran over to the former time twin. Picking up his limp body, he held him close whilst sobbing his heart out. "You're heartless!! You killed your own twin!" One of the elementals yelled at Krux. "You should of been the one to perish!" Another yelled, their voice hinted sadness.

"I..im sorry..." krux tried to say aloud. But he couldn't make his voice known. He was silenced. His body selectively made him mute. 'I'm sorry...' he thought.

'The burden of our parents death took a large toll on me. It took my appreciation away. It took my life away. The creature found a praise to the dark energy that casted around my heart. Making its existence as if it had always been apart of me. My brother was always the easiest target. He was bound to me like a lost puppy. Always had been. But that death caused a separation. I didn't have the strength to stop it...I was weakened by the creature. Let alone my own emotions.

Now that he is truly gone. I'm all alone. I'm wanted by police and the Ninjas. I have no friends, and certainly no family...its my fault that he is gone. Nixy...im sorry that I've failed you..' krux thought to himself, basically shielding himself from the rest of the world. He couldnt show his face after what happened.

But though. Over with the rest, who was around Lloyd and Acronix. No one could do anything. And Kai made sure that those who was allied with krux stayed within a large ring of high flames. That Zena made sure it stayed in motion by having wind made the flames go round. Lloyd have not parted from Acronix this whole time. Bags started to form under his eyes by how hard he was crying.

"Hes....he's gone Lloyd...there's.... nothing we can do..." Karloff muttered. Lloyd couldn't just accept it. His sudden tension hit against the chest plate of Acronix's armor. Creating a reaction. The armor still had some stored energy left in it, in which it created a sudden plastic of white light. Blinding everyone. Even Jacob had to look away because the light hurted his eyes, even with special glasses he had on.

The light settled with a form of a person. But completely white. The person had extremely long hair, and a feminine shape, identifying as a female. The female looked down at Acronix and knealed down.

"My son. You've done great things. Your heart is pure. Thus those who are one with Destiny, the heavenly ones, the Creator himself. Have sawn you, and wish to grant you another chance of life. Gifting you to fulfill your life. As you wasn't ment to leave today, you are apart of a Greater Destiny that you will face within the future. As of this. I wish for you to awaken once more my child. See the light of day once again." The female spoken in a distant-like voice. She disappeared after that.

A few moments later. Acronix started coughing up alot of blood. Startling everyone. He forced himself up and coughed up what he could, breathing heavily. "Acronix!" Lloyd cried out, hugging him tightly. Acronix sat there, stunned at what just happened. Though he felt angered, really angered. His eyes glowed changed to pure red. He stopped all the masters and left himself to get up with no one to stop him.

He picked up his sword, and walked over to his brother. He didn't dare to kill him, but simply give him a permanent mark. Krux peeked out to see who it was, but he didnt smile. He instead became feared. Acronix was targeting him, and he knew Acronix wouldn't even be able to hear him, he couldn't even talk at the moment.

In reaction, Krux stumbled up and backed up, but he felt the same angered presence that left him. He tried to warn his twin, but TC took control of Krux with ease. But having lesser control meaning that Krux still have a chance of resisting. Yet his voice didn't come back.

He picked up the sword and blocked an attack move. Starting another fight against the two. Acronix wasn't having any of it, so he used whats left of the energy to throw Krux back. To an archway where one final bomb was planted. Anyone under during the collision could die. Krux gotten up, yet he didn't want to fight. He had to hold his ground against his twin. The one who was in charged of detonating the bombs sawn a opportunity and pressed down the final lever.

The bomb got the signal and blew up, making the twins stop suddenly and look up. Krux's eyes would pratically shrink in realization. He threw away his sword and ran at his twin, before the boulders tumbled down, he pushed Acronix out of the way..

...

He pushed HIM out of the way. Out of the way of another death. Large chunks of rock landed on the ground as the arch was destroyed completely. Leaving Krux trapped underneath. Acronix sat on the ground, stunned, the element released everyone who was stopped. Cole and Karloff ran over to the scene quicker than the others. "C..Cole! K..Karloff! S..someone! Please help!" Acronix cried out desperately. He tried lifting a rock but he was unable to. He could see a green cloth poking out.

Karloff activated his metal shell and helped Cole lift the large rock over. Revealing Krux. Acronix dragged his brother out so the two could put it down. But Acronix, being blinded by anger, now whept at his twin. That he held very close to him. "Brother please wake up! T..this isn't funny.." he cried, no one could say anything...

Though after a long strain of silence because for Acronix crying over his departed twin. The surrounding area became to glow yellow, it was a vast area and he knew it would take alot for him to muster. But thanks to the overwhelming emotion he had, he managed to reverse time.

Reverse back before they could got crushed. Acronix blinked and had to act fast, before Krux could move, he was tackled to the ground on the other side. Where they both was safe finally. The twins whept together, as Krux finally was able to expell the creature from him. They held each other close. Dispite the armor in the way. "Brother..im...im sorry...I couldn't control the creature...im sorry...i..I failed you..." Krux cried, though the pain for the both of them was starting to be unbearable.

"I forgive you...i...im glad to have you back..." Acronix muttered, lightly smiling. And for once, Krux had a genuine smile. One after the other, they passed out due to the blood loss and the agony they experienced. But they remained in each other's hold..

AHA IM TOTALLY NOT CRYING
