The Night We Fell Apart

CHAPTER 19: BROTHERS

Silas, enraged, began to blitz Flint. The battlefield was filled with chaos and bloodshed. "So Atlas, how are we gonna take out this ugly thing?" Macho said, sneering at the dragon from afar. "Hmm, lemme see here," Atlas said before cracking his knuckles. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Soo... We are watching you try to relax?" Sly muttered. A green aura emerged around Atlas as little symbols appeared in front of his eyes. "Whoa! When did this happen?" Carter said, shocked. "Yeah, I only thought you were a nerd about books. Man, was I wrong." Macho laughed. "I guess it happened while we were doing the trials. But lemme have my moment to concentrate." He said sternly.

They waited while he analyzed each little detail down to the core. ''We have to hit the stomach with everything we've got," Atlas said as the symbols disappeared. "Okay, so who is going to take the first hit," Carter questioned. "We will," Frost said as Derek and Hope appeared behind him. "Alright, then, let's kick some dragon ass!" Macho yelled. Frost, Derek, and Hope rushed at the dragon's stomach with everything they had as everyone else followed behind.This was a turning point in the war.

On the other hand, Flint and Silas had been in a stalemate. Each person is getting the edge over the other. Neither one lets the other get the upper hand. "I will kill you, bastard!" Silas exclaimed. The impact of their hits had miniature earthquakes in the ground, making it hard to fight on the floor. This fight could determine the outcome of the war. Both sides, evil and sound, were on the way to destroying each other.

"So brother, I think killing your little friend did you justice," Flint said, breathing hard. Silas landed back on the ground, holding his stomach. "You bastard.. why would you kill her. We were all friends, and you got jealous and wanted her to yourself when you couldn't. YOU KILLED HER!" He yelled. "I WAS NEVER JEALOUS OF HER, DUMBASS! You just up and left me alone... Then when I found out I could get stronger than you, I took up the opportunity firsthand and sold my soul to Malthor." Flint roared back. "Now I will show you the true power of the PRINCE OF HELL!" He yelled. "MALTHOR, COME TO ME!" He yelled. Malthor slapped Frost and Carter away with his tail. "GAH!" They both said, hitting the ground. "Damn, this is going to be bad," Macho said, looking up at the sky. Malthor turned back into his human state and stared at Flint with remorse. "Are you sure this is what you want to do? You could di-" Malthor said before being cut off. "DO IT, DAMN IT! I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES!" Flint yelled. Malthor shrugged his shoulder and started chanting something. "My lord, keep them busy until the ritual is done, sir," Flint said, bowing. Apep rolled his eyes and stood up from his chair. "So be it, but make it quick. I don't kill them." He smirked heinously.

Each person got chills down their spine from their eerie look. "So who is going to take me on first-" Macho slammed his fist into Apep's face. Apep stood there unphased by the attack. "Anyways, who is next." He grabbed Macho's fist and flung him into the rubble where the dungeon had collapsed. "This guy is no joke.." Frost took a big gulp. "He is powerful, but he can be taken down. Everyone has a weakness... right?" Carter said, unsure of his answer. He looked at Atlas for an answer. "I don't think he has one.. at least from what I can see," Atlas said with a sigh. "You. I want to fight alongside you." Apep said, pointing at Carter.

Everyone stood to the side, leaving Carter alone. Carter stepped up and stood in front of Apep. He tried to contain his fear of him but knew he wasn't doing the best job of it. "I can tell you are scared, and you should be. This will be your final time, and you are looking into the face of royalty. You should be honored by my presence." He exclaimed. Carter smiled and stepped forward. "I am staring at someone who is being used by his successor. You are no one I should be scared of at all." Carter sneered. Apep was caught off guard by his comment and got pissed. He slammed his fist into Carter's stomach with full force. "WHAT THE HELL!?" Sly exclaimed. Carter was on the ground, hunched over in pain. The group turned around, and the color was from their faces. There was a huge crater that was made from the hit. "This man is unstoppable!" Said Mike enraged. "Uhm.. guys, it is going to get much harder.." Hope pointed at the figure standing behind Apep.

Silas went pale and began to tear up.

"Brother..."Silas was in pain watching as his brother had turned into a combination of Malthor. "Hmph. I am guessing you want to know who I am. I am a combination of Malthor and Flint, Falthor. So who is the one called, Silas?" They said calmly. Their voice was too calm for him to be in the middle of the war. Silas stepped forward and had his head down. "So you are the one. This should be a piece of-" A large gust of wind was sent from Silas' body as he appeared in front of Apep, who was in front of Carter. "Shit, he is pissed." Sly, Macho, and Atlas said. Falthor was overcome with shock about what had just happened. In a fit of rage, they went to attack Silas. "YOU BASTARD! YOU DON'T GET TO IGNORE ME, MORTAL!" They said in an uproar. Silas, not even looking up, blasted Falthor with a massive wave of energy.
