Dark and Twisted - A TR fanfic (COMPLETE)

Chapter 15 - Broken Promises

(TW: LOTS OF DETAILED GORE, VIOLENCE, DEATH)
Note: more me shipping M and Elite

~ Elite Dark Guards POV ~

Elite gently pulled the last stitch from M's face. It'd taken him an hour to do this. Twisted had really done a number to him...

M kept holding the ice to his face, as he had been for a while. But then he brought it down to speak.

"... th-th-tha-n-k y-yo-ou E-El-li-te..."

"You can call me Shadow... if it's easier for you to say."

"... Sh-Sha-dow."

"Do you want me to bandage you face a little? To help with the fresh blood?"

"N-n-o... I wa-nn-na t-ta-lk..."

"Alright. Just keep that ice with you."

M responded with a nod, bringing the ice back to his face. He leaned against Shadow, who wrapped his arm around M.

M accepted this greatly. He hadn't been hugged in a while... it felt nice.

"I have an idea to get rid of Sabre. We'd better get walking or we won't get there in time."

M nodded. They both stood up.

~ Sabre's POV ~

"This... is the moment I've been waiting for. The solution... to limitless power." The First Curse said softly.

"Where are we now?" Sabre asked.

"The crossroads to the path you must take. As I told you. You must make your decision. Here at the crossroads. You can not go back. Enter the infinite mutltiverse with me... conquer every world, every universe, with me. Or... do what you believe you must... focus inward, and control that of which is within you."

"You seem competent enough to handle your path alone. I think you know my answer... I'm staying for Green. I promised I would always be there for him."

The First Curse laughed.

"I still thought I would offer nonetheless. You're probably the only Sabre I enjoy having around, after all."

"I wouldn't necessarily say that. With infinite universes comes-"

"Infinite possibilities." The First Curse finished, then took a step towards Sabre. "Here. I've never trusted anyone. How odd..."

"What did you just give me?"

"A small shortcut. Power from outside your universe. Now goodbye, Sabre. Take what's yours. Tell Green I said goodbye to him, too."

"I will. Goodbye."

The First Curse laughed as Sabre left the infinite.

"Take what's yours... and destroy it all!" They laughed again.

~ Shadow's POV ~

Shadow screamed out in pain.

"Turn if off!" He called. M did immediately.

"I thought Yellow Steves were the Steves of power!" He coughed, his new armor shining in the sunlight. "Of energy! Yet you all can't get this to work?!"

All the nearby Yellow Steves looked to the ground. M punched Shadows arm.

"Why'd you do that?!"

"... q-qu-it b-be-in-g m-me-ean. A-ap-ol-ogi-ze."
