Fleetway's Torment

Facing the devil

(Nobody Pov:) X's red flash occurs and they arrive at Exe's dimension. Fleetway feels something in his mind telling him where Exe is. He follows a path he had once taken, walking towards a pedestal where he had once been told he wasn't ready. The pedestal glows red and a path appears next to the pedestal, one they take. Fleetway takes the lead and enters what appears to be a throne room, Exe on the other side of the room on a large bloody throne.

Fleetway and Exe look at each other and for a few seconds it was like time stopped as they looked at one another.

Exe seemed happy for a moment untill he realized Fleetway wasn't alone and the face he was giving him. Exe could read Fleet's face, anger, betrayal, depression.

Fleet watched Exe process this, his face turning from happy to one that suggested he was upset.

Had he really cared for Fleetway after everything he did? Was it love?

(Mephiles Pov:) This is the moment. While Exe is distracted by his emotions, we can attack.

I charge a laser and blast it at Exe though he moves at the last moment.
Exe hasn't said a word and his eyes seem only set for Fleetway. 

I hear a grunt and see a volley of red blasts being sent at Exe by Infinite. Exe gets out the way but Infinite has closed the distance and the two are now trying to land a hit on one another. Infinite goes for a punch but his fist is caught by Exe who digs his nails into Infinite's hand. Infinite shouts in pain and shoots a blast from the ruby into Exe.

(Exe Pov:) I see a body infront of me. My body and Fleetway is looking down at it with a smile. I won't let this happen, I cannot see the jackal but he is here. He will fall like Shadow did. I should slow the others.

I snap my fingers and summon wraiths and the illusion immedieatly falters. I fly towards Fleetway and grab him, his eyes widen and I fly back towards the throne with him.

'Fleetway, have you turned against me?'
'Have I? You tricked me! You used me! Betrayed me!'
'Fleetway-'
'I fucking loved you! I loved you and you used that against me! You turned me into a monster!'
'No, I have let you be your true self. Nothing to hold you back. Nothing to worry about. Just allowing you to be yourself-'
'THIS ISN'T ME!'

He punches me hard in the stomach and I lose my grip. I slam into the throne.

'Fleetway, don't let them hold you back-'
'Nothing is holding me back but you! I was fine untill you took me! I had my family but you ruined it all!'

He shoots a blast at me which I teleport away from.

'It ends now.' He dashes at me and I teleport out the way, one thing I didn't think about was his speed. I may be able to teleport but he is much much quicker.

(Fleetway Pov:) I can't lay a hand on him but that'll change. Every time he does it I get just a bit closer so if I can just...

Right before he can teleport, I manage to kick him in the face causing him to stumble backwards. With the advantage, I shoot a blast from my eyes at his, causing him to go blind. He screeches in pain and for a moment I feel a hint of remorse untill I hear a scream. Scourge.

I turn round and fly towards him, a wraith had stabbed him in the leg which was now bleeding. He was still trying to fight them off but he was much slower. Using my speed, I do a chain of homing attacks which destroy them for now.

'You alright?'
'I'll be fine...'

I look around and see X absolutely obliterating the wraiths. Picking them up, ripping them to pieces, using them as bombs, he was fine!
