To Break A Curse

"This way!" Colt growled as he quickly ran down the halls, not caring anymore as he was already being chased. "Don't lose him!"

"TRAITOR!" Colt nearly slid past the door, slamming into the wall as he grabbed the handle and pushed himself down the stairs as fast as he could.

"You won't get away!" Colt fumed as he suddenly skidded to a stop at the end of the stairwell and screamed.

"STAY OUT OF MY WAY!" Magic exploded out around him as Colt threw his hands out creating a large blast of lightning.

"WATCH OUT!" The soldiers all screamed as the whole stairwell started to crumble apart. The ceiling caved in sending debris everywhere as Colt crashed with very uneven pants. 

"Just hang on... I'll get the power off, just hang on guys."

"Colt Graberson." Colt flinched as he froze stiff in his spot, his hand outstretched just moments from the control room door. "Dark said you would come here." Colt slowly turned around to see a face he really didn't want to see. "Then again, you always were the stupid one."

"Sean?" Sean smiled as he took a step forward holding his hand out to summon an electric sword. "Shit."

"The name's Anti now. I'm a Demonic Demi of Evil. One of the few your brother chose to serve directly under him" Colt could feel the room slipping from under him as Sean slowly advanced. "You're an enemy of Dark's. I think he'd be happy if I brought him your head!" Sean put himself into an attack stance making Colt cringe as he tried to stand up but the demonic aura was just too much. "So just stand still AND DIE!" 

"MOVE YOU, IDIOT!" A blast of light took over the room and Colt could feel as someone suddenly grabbed his arm yanking him back out of the way. When the light dimmed enough Colt could see a man dressed in black holding a staff in a block, Sean's sword cutting into it just enough to get stuck. "How can someone so damn smart be an absolute moron?" 

"Hey!" Colt growled as the man in black turned to shoot him this look only for Colt to falter at their black eyes. The man kicked his foot out dislodging Sean's sword from his staff before throwing his hand out making a wall of darkness block Colt from he fights. 

"Get going, Idiot!"

"But... Wait-..."

"NOW COLT!" The man yelled as Sean launched forward trying to catch him off guard, lightning cracking against the wall. "The Dragon witch needs you!"

"But-..."

"NOW!" Another blast of lightning sent Colt on his ass before he finally forced himself up and away from the fight. The man smiled softly before focusing in on the demi in front of him. Colt quickly summoned his gun, shooting the main panel much like he did that first failed rescue. Tears spilled down Colt's cheeks as he screamed blasting magic bullets into the panel until the whole thing was ablaze. Those eyes... that voice... Was he imagining it? It couldn't be him.

"I have to go." Colt forced his body to move despite how numb his mind was at that moment. The second he left the room the fight from before was completely gone. Though the traces of battle remained. Did he imagine it? Was it someone else... Or was it a spirit... Did he come back to protect him even though he was dead? "Stop it, Colt." Colt quickly wiped his eyes and took a deep breath. "This is war. Focus on your mission. Your father needs you." Colt nodded to himself as he tried to get himself back to the present. "Just hold on Roman. I'm coming."

"YOU'RE MINE!" Roman jumped back throwing up a shield as he grimaced under the pure demonic energy being thrown at him. The room was spinning, sapping him of his strength but he had to stay up.. stay fighting. He needed to save Virgil. "YOU'LL NEVER WIN!"
