Chaos In a Nutshell: Fresh-ish Start

26. The Clash of Titans

Troy and Ultimas start beating the crap out of each other, exchanging punches and kicks

They stun each other with a headbutt

"I guess...we're not so different, are we?" Ultimas chuckles, rubbing his head

"Shut up" Troy grits his teeth

Ultimas slowly pulls out a sword

Troy gradually pulls out a rusted sword

"Fencing, but higher stakes" Ultimas smirks

Troy slashes at Ultimas

Ultimas disappears

"P*SSY" Troy shouts

"Dumba$$" Ultimas grabs Troy by the arm

In a slow-motion act, Troy's eyes start to widen as Ultimas flings Troy's body away

Troy crashes through a building, then a tree, then into another building and skids to a stop at a bridge

"TROY?" Hydra yells

"Get as many people here as you can and bring them back to the bridge, it's not safe in the slightest, so be careful" Troy gets up, dusting himself off

"IS THIS THE GUY YOU MET LAST NIGHT? HOLY SH!T" A man beside Hydra exclaims

"Enjoying a little bit of chatter, Troy?" Ultimas spins his sword on his finger

"Both of you, round people up, also, nice to meet you, I'm Troy, be back here in 4 minutes with as many people as you can get" Troy stares Ultimas down

"I have so many questions" Hydra shakes her head

"I don't have enough time to answer them, just go" Troy rolls his shoulder

"Alright, let's go, Lexi" The man starts running

"I'LL BE BACK SOON" Hydra follows closely behind the man

"Ready again?" Ultimas asks

"You really think this is all fun and games, don't you?" Troy clenches his fist

"Troy, think about it, what I'm doing is right, the only people getting harmed are the ones who don't obey to a continuously peaceful life, everyone else is safe, do you not understand?" Ultimas laughs

"I understand what you're doing is wrong, making people choose between fear and rebellion, you're just loading up people to be 13-year-olds again" Troy shakes his head

"What was I doing at 13...that's right, I was overthrowing the school-and with your help, wasn't I?" Ultimas asks

Troy looks down

"Why did you do it? Because everyone else was, I know your insecurities, I'm your brother, after all, you changed your entire personality just so nobody would worry about you anymore, you were always the quietest and the smartest, maybe not the strongest, but you wanted to improve yourself, so you did, and now look at yourself, if you join my regime then nobody will worry about your insecurities because you'll stand beside me as a kinder ruler than I would be, join me Troy, show me how to rule and how well you can rule galaxies" Ultimas walks towards Troy

"Y-...You're right...why are we fighting?" Troy asks

"See, that is what I was asking" Ultimas smiles

"...No, I can't even lie to myself, f#ck you" Troy takes this tiny opening to slam Ultimas' head into the ground

He instantly backs, seeming to not touch the ground

"TROY, HEY" Hydra shouts. a crowd following her, and other aliens following after them

Troy opens another portal beside him

"Get in the portal" Troy pulls out both pistols

"HE'S GONNA SHOOT" Someone in the crowd screams

"I DON'T WANT TO DIE" Someone else shouts

Troy takes aim 

And fires

The robots explode one after another, the blast knocking some into the portal, wounding others

"OH SH!T" Hydra's brother yells

"ALEX, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" Hydra attends to him

"I'm-I'm good" Alex slowly gets up

"Here, we have to get you to safety" Hydra walks towards the portal with him

"Yeah...thanks" Alex laughs

"TROY, STAY SAFE" Hydra yells

"I'll try" Troy watches Ultimas get up

Hydra and Alex go through the portal

"Okay...playing dirty, I see?" Ultimas smiles, his eyes starting to glow

Troy closes the portal

The two start battling it out even harder than before.
