My boy ~~ Druig

BACKSTABBER (S)

Ikaris left, headed to a room on the far away side of the Domo, Sersi followed, not even twenty minutes later he barged into the room, Phastos turned and spoke, "I'm close to figuring it out-"  Ikaris ignored him and shot lasers at his work sending him to the ground. Everyone stood up and Kingo exclaimed in a worried tone, "Boss! What are you doing?!" Sersi came running in and helped Phastos up, "He lied to us," Ikaris watched her closely, "He already knew about the emergents!" Kingo glanced around the room, "No he didn't." Ikaris's tone was calm, "Ajak told me everything when we left Babylon." Kingo looked hurt, "What?" Phastos looked angry, "You were never going to let us stop the emergants!" Ikaris, his voice still calm, "No," he looked around everyone jumping from one persons eyes to the other, "I only wanted to protect you from the deviants."

Sersi's eyes were tearing up, "If Ajak wanted you to take her place why did she choose me!?" Ikaris gulped and tears formed in his eyes, They stared at eachother for a moment, "What have you done?" Sersi says not breaking eye contact. 

Druig stops staring at the floor in his usual stance, "He killed her." Everyone stared at Ikaris, it hurt, to know that the man in front of you was not who you thought he was, "I had to." Sersi's voice cracked and in a almost whisper she said, "She loved you." Kingo whimpered clearly upset, Ikaris looked like he was going to cry at any moment so his voice broke down a bit, "Did she?" Sersi repeated herself, "She loved you." A tear rolled down her cheek, Ikaris was most definitely trying to hold it in, "Do you think it was easy to live with the truth?" He paused, taking a breath, "To know that one day it would end?" He turned to Sersi, "To keep on lying to you, if we gave humanity the choice how many of them would be willing to die so that billions more could be born?" Phastos had a tear smudged into his cheek, "Were not giving them a choice," He stuttered, "Is this why your willing to kill?"

Phastos shook his head and licked his lip, his tone was angry and loud, "You are so pathetic!!" Ikaris's voice remained calm, "I'm an Eternal Phastos, I exist for Arisham, as do you." Phastos continues to shaked his head, "I wouldn't change a single thing about who I am. Born or made but I do not exist for Arisham!" He starts walking over to him, "I exist for my family!" Ikaris walks up to him, "You are making the same mistake Ajak did."

Makkari swooshes past them smiling, she signs, "I found Tiamut!" Ikaris tries to shoot makkari but Kingo jumps in front of the lasers, Ikaris walks up to Kingo, "Kingo..." His steps are slow and intimidating, Kingo raises his fingers revealing the yellow orb, pointing it at Ikaris, "You do not... turn against your family... Gilgamesh died because of you..." Ikaris turns to everyone, "You won't succeed against me, I will kill every one of you if I have to." You felt Druig step a little bit closer to you, Sersi was crying now, Ikaris turned to leave, "Wait," Sprite started walking forward, "I'm coming with you." Thena walked around the corner, "What is this?" Sprite quickly creates the illusion that her and Ikaris aren't there replaced by thousands of fireflies.

Makkari whom was standing in the middle of the room signed to everyone, "Why did Sprite go with Ikaris?" Kingo steps forward, "because she loves him, oh, you guys didn't pick up on that?" Kingo's eyebrows shake a little, "He really fooled us didn't he?" 

Kingo and Karun left, he felt he was no match and couldn't help. It was silent until Druig spoke, "look, if I'm gonna get myself killed going up against Ikaris, we'll need a backup plan." Phastos throws his arms in defeat, "All of our powers even if they're amplified won't be enough to kill a celestial." Druig was eating now, "Well, Sersi did turn a deviant into a tree." Phastos took a moment to prosses, "I'm sorry what?! You don't wanna tell me that?!"  Makkari looked confused, "You've never been able to do it before." 

Sersi was looking to the floor, "I don't know how it happened," She stuttered, "I'm pretty sure I couldn't do it again." Phastos stepped closer, "Well now is the time to try, don't you think?" She was looking around the room now, "Phastos, that deviant is dead, our plan is to put Tiamut to sleep, not to kill it, I cant, kill, a celestial." He was waving his hands together, "Sersi! Sersi." She raised her voice, "We cant!" 

Druig and you were sitting to the left of Sersi, he was nodding his head slowly whilst biting his lip, yet it wasn't clear who his head was bobbing for, whether it be Sersi or Phastos. "It's okay Sersi, I got this."

Sersi stood up and walked out. You turned to Druig, "Druig, promise you'll be careful of ikaris? I mean i'll try and protect you but... he is the strongest out of everyone, he'd beat me anytime." he nodded his head "promise." You smiled at each other, "Thanks." 

Phastos had thought up a plan, he had to take what connect Arisham and Sersi out pf her, "No Phastos It could kill her." You said, "Maybe, but Sersi would rather die trying than sitting in here doing nothing," he looked at the empty room, "Our team is broken, we need to try anything." You sighed, "Go find her, ask her." He ran of to find her. 

Five minutes later and Phastos was sitting in the corner working away, it had successfully worked, everyone was waiting to have the order, to get the armour back on after years. 

The room was cold, everyone was stood at their spot, the armour spreading over their bodies like wildfire. You shook your shoulders backwards and forwards a bit, then you looked over to Thena, "it's a bit stiff," You groaned, "I don't like it." 

The bracelets were new, they'd never been in the dress code. They were pretty though, the gold was shiny, and the patterns were cute. 

Druig was standing at his place, with his long wavy cape hanging past his feet, you let out a small chuckle, he did always look funny in his cape, he just stared at you, unamused. The Domo was on it's way to were the celestial was being born, not long until you had to go against one of your closest friends. 

"If it helps, I never like him." Druig said, you turn to watch him, "Figured, it wasn't a very well hidden secret."
