Mind Reality of Eclipse

Future Shock of Fear ~ Chapter 82

Chrom was sitting down on the couch. He had his hands on his knees, trying to get a glimpse of the future that was yet to come. He kept his cool but yet he felt uncertain of what he was doing. Still, he didn't want to back down.

"Chrom-"

"Not now, I need as much focus as possible," Chrom replied. Alear stood there staring at him and then nodded. Chrom kept his eyes closed, keeping his concentration on one thing. To find the future, and see what to prevent.

Why isn't it working? I thought it should've worked by now... Chrom thought to himself. He opened his eyes and suddenly it worked. He was able to see into the future. But... what he saw wasn't pretty at all...

"FIRE!!! AHAHAHA!!!" Byleth laughed. The heroes looked at one another in worry as Byleth looked over to the heroes. Match in one hand and a gallon of gasoline in the other.

Chrom ordered, "Put that gasoline down..."

"That won't be needed! I remember when Marth burned himself just to protect the town. AHAH! It's not all rainbows and butterflies... so the town deserves to DIE!!!" Byleth laughed. Rafal walked beside him as Byleth got ready to set more homes on fire. "But first..."

Shez asked, "First what!?" Suddenly Byleth threw syringes at all of them. All of them with perfect aim, they all hit the heroes as they collapsed onto the ground.

Byleth laughed, "How pathetic. Alright Rafal, let's do it together." Rafal nodded as they got prepared to set the town on fire. Both of them smiled, their faces filled with insanity...

Chrom looked up and looked around the room. There was nobody there. But he knew he had to take action. Hero Town was at stake if they didn't do anything. Chrom got up and walked out of the mansion. The people were laughing but he knew the town was going to be on fire soon.

Chrom muttered, "Do I evacuate everyone or do I find out how to stop the fire..." He looked around and then looked ahead. There were footsteps, the footsteps of Byleth. They were already coming here. Chrom dashed on ahead and then stomped his foot on the ground.

The people didn't say anything, they all got silent. Chrom looked around and then turned to where Byleth and Rafal were. Suddenly many of the people got afraid, they were nervous.
"GET OUT!!! EVERYONE GET AWAY FROM THE TOWNS!" Chrom shouted. The people started running from their eyes. Chrom looked at the two dead in the eyes as they smiled.

Byleth laughed, "You knew we were coming! So nice of you to just have everyone retreat the area..." Chrom glared down at them as Byleth grabbed the gasoline. "You know... Marth set himself on fire in this exact location."

Chrom muttered, "I am aware..." Byleth stared at him with confusion and soon came to the realization that Chrom predicted they would come. "Don't get anywhere near this town. I would sacrifice my life for the people..."

Byleth mocked, "How heartwarming! Go ahead and do me a favor then... GO AHEAD AND DIE FOR ME!!!" Chrom took out falchion and took a deep breath. He just couldn't help but keep staring down Byleth.

Chrom sighed, "I won't accept this to happen. Instead I will be the one striking you down." Chrom got himself prepared. As Byleth looked over toward the gasoline.

"Oops..." Byleth mocked as he started pouring it over. Chrom dashed over to attempt to grab it out from his hands but he was struck by Ephraim and Eirika. He fell backward and looked over in anger.

Ephraim ordered, "Not a step closer Chrom, you don't want to get hurt do you?" Chrom didn't respond, he just got up using his sword. His shoulder was in pain due to the hit but he could manage on his own. Soon the other heroes arrived on the scene just in time. However, Rafal and Byleth were already busy getting ready to set the whole town on fire.

"LET GO OF THOSE GASOLINE GALLONS NOW!!" Alear shouted. Of course they weren't willing to let go of the gallons of Gasoline. Suddenly they took out their own matches. Chrom looked down at his watch as time immediately was able to freeze.

Chrom grunted, "I don't have much time to get rid of those matches from their hands." Chrom dashed over to grab the matches from their hands but suddenly he was hit directly in the face by a sword. He fell back and his nose was already bleeding and there was a cut on his face.

"Foolish aren't you, did you happen to forget who also got the time abilities?" Chrom looked up and saw Byleth smiling at him. Everything was frozen except for the two. Chrom got up from the ground and held his guard.

Chrom sighed, "I may have forgotten but that doesn't change what I'm going to do. I will make sure I find a way to stop this madness you and Rafal are doing." Byleth stared at Chrom and smiled. He whipped his sword around and then wrapped his sword around Chrom's ankle.

Byleth laughed, "If you want to fight us go ahead and do so... I think I will be enjoying your inevitable defeat and the fall of Hero Town. This will be a sight to behold..." Chrom looked down at his ankle and back at Byleth. They were prepared to go at each other's throat like their lives depended on it.
