Mind Reality of Eclipse

"Fallen Is A Friend" ~ Chapter 122

"Marth! Snap the hell out of it! You don't need to be used against your will!" Shez shouted.

Marth replied, "I just follow the orders of Zethus. After you defeat me I'll be back to being dead. I think that's what you wanted, yes?"

"I..."

"Of course it's what you wanted, you heroes are filled with madness, that doesn't matter though, you're all nothing more but pathetic weaklings," Marth said with a slight smirk on his face. His body was half skin and half burnt. He just became one with the disposal.

Celica muttered, "Lord Marth... why?"

"He did it protect us, but now..." Kirby muttered. Marth then got his sword ready, it was set on fire. His entire body was immune to the flames, but he was responsible for the fire, under Zethus' name.

Shez yelled, "GET READY!!" The heroes nodded as they got their weapons out. Then Marth dashed at them, Celica jumped in the way and put a shield around the heroes. But soon she noticed Marth's sword was burning through the shield.

"CELICA!!" Shez screamed. He dashed over and slammed his blades against the sword. But soon the sword started to burn the swords he had. He jumped back as the heroes got themselves even more prepared.

Marth laughed, "You can't even try to defeat me because all your weapons will simply burn against my sword..." The heroes glared at him and Marth smiled. He dashed at the heroes but they jumped out of the way.

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM US!" Kirby shouted. He attempted to spray water at Marth's sword but even that was unaffected.

Celica grunted, "We have to find a way to put his body to rest! We can't continue to let him be used over and over again for whatever Zethus wants him to do!"

"Yeah... yeah but how?!" Shez asked. The heroes looked over and saw Marth swinging his sword around. He could step on fire and he would be unaffected, it was insane to the heroes how strong the disposal Zethus created were.

Veyle muttered, "I've seen my fair share of disposals every now and then but they were never this strong!" The heroes looked at her and back at Marth.

"Are you prepared to lose your entire town just to a corpse?" Marth asked as he giggled. The heroes didn't say anything, they stood there glaring at him. They sweat a bit due to the heat the flames were producing but... what were they? "I suppose you're ready to see the town die..."

Gooey then swung his tongue at Marth. Marth surprisingly got hit and fell backward. He saw that some of his sword's flame disappeared but it was barely a scratch. He got up slowly and got ready to attack. Gooey then jumped at him again and swung his tongue yet again.

"Hey! It's working! Gooey's... tongue actually puts out the flames!" Shez cheered. The heroes smiled as Marth got up again. He hit his sword on fire again by using the surrounding fire and got prepared to fight. It was late at night, all you could see were the flames. The flames of the town... the precious town they called home...

"We're reporting to you live from Dawn's City news headquarters, apparently a fallen hero was revived and set the entire town of 'Hero Town' on fire! Just in, the heroes are at the scene trying to deal with the fire but it looks like it's impossible to burn out!" The TV played. Zethus Byleth stood there staring at the TV watching the live footage the news had.

He smiled while watching the footage, he was so grateful he had found a way to kill the town. After killing Chrom, the town was next... and then it was pure chaos afterwards. How joyous must that be? Soon he heard footsteps, they were the footsteps of Zehira Rafal.

Zethus Byleth laughed, "I told you my plan would work, the heroes are stuck dealing with Marth... you believed my plan didn't want to work but now it did! How joyous is that?"

"I guess I can compliment you for that... but what are you trying to do now?! There's only around six heroes left, are you going to capture the rest of them?" Zehira Rafal responded. Zethus Byleth stood there quietly, he kept staring at the Tv and then turned to Zehira Rafal.

Zethus Byleth giggled, "I'll let them deal with Marth... then I'll go ahead and use Mario next. Afterwards... we will lure them to the castle in the Netherworld. They will never know what will hit them..."

"Oh? What's this strategy of yours? It seems so specific but yet you got me intrigued," Zehira Rafal questioned. Byleth stood there staring at himself and then took a deep breath. He didn't say a word to Zehira Rafal. "Come on now Zethus, I know you want to tell me. I won't judge you for anything..."

Zethus Byleth muttered, "I have this fear of failure Zehira... I don't want to fail you again. I tortured the Exalt due to him being a nuisance and annoying. He got what he deserved after what he did to me and you... beating the war, he thought he was so intelligent after doing that. Deserving all that praise..."

Zehira Rafal stood there staring at Zethus Byleth, trying to think of something to say. "But now he's under our captivity, he is despair induced just like the remaining heroes, he won't be able to do anything now..." Zethus Byleth nodded as he looked up to the ceiling.

"I just want to harm those heroes... those annoyances, always ruining my chances at destroying the world. Once I lure them then the entire world will all be MINE!!!" Zethus Byleth giggled. Zehira Rafal smiled at him as the two looked at each other and smiled evilly.

Zehira Rafal sighed, "They don't stand a chance against us, the heroes are far weaker now that they don't have Time on their side..."

"You're right... they don't have her standing next to them; babysitting those pathetic heroes... I'm so glad Byleth got a chance to be connected with him, now we can rule the world together..." Zethus Byleth giggled. He looked at the watch and then took a deep breath. "After what you did to me all those years ago... I will never forget that... never... ever..."

"What was that Zethus? You sounded like you were saying something..." Zethus Byleth looked up and didn't say anything, he just stood there... quietly wishing revenge upon Time...
