Tords P.O.V

I froze and stared at the monster before me, this was the final stage of what it could turn into, there was no Thomas in front of me. But the Purple God I read about in old legends, the monster that could destroy worlds. And its dead black eyes were locked on me.

I pulled my guns out of their holster and stood in a sort of draw with the demon. Natasha walked up to me, "Nice to finally meet you, Mr. Red Leader," she waved. She looked around at all my soldiers, "Thank you for bringing such a big chunk of your army here. We can't let them go off," she pulled out a remote, "Go squash them like red ants sweetheart~" The monster dashed off and I felt my stomach drop. This was meant to be a slaughterhouse of my army. As long as she has me, she can get my whole army to negotiate me back and get them to use me as bait to wipe out my whole fleet. "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue honey?"

I held out my pistol towards her, "Are you just going to talk or are we going to fight?"
"Oh come now, I can't believe they put some high schooler in charge of an army. Don't think I didn't notice," A black soldier came up to her holding Edd by his collar. Blood dribbled down his mouth. "Drop the weapon love~" I threw my gun on the floor. Through the corner of my eye, I saw Ginger, Matt launched on the soldier's back and Edd fell out of his arms, he grabbed the gun and threw it at me. I shot the soldier and Natasha darted away. "MATT! EDD!"

Edd hugged me with tears stinging his eyes then pushed me away, "Tord what the HELL is going on!? Where is Tom?? And-" he looked over my outfit, "W-Who are you.."

"Look I can explain okay but right now we don't have time for that-" A bullet rang over our heads and we all ran under a nearby table.

"What is that thing.." Matt stared in fear at the monster.

"Um.. thats uh that is a long story-"

"I think you owe us the story Red Leader. Has everything been a lie?" Edd yelled.

"Heya guys!" Sadie smiled from behind the table, and we all jumped, I quickly got on top of her. Matt pushed me off.

"Matt what the hell? Do you not remember what this girl did?!" I stammered.

"Look Tordy, I'm also the one who saved his life okay? I was just following orders like you have been your whole life. But when I saw them put a gun to his head I couldn't stand for it. Although I may have been raised to be a ruthless murderer I see what you guys have and it's nothing I've ever seen before. Love and friendship for each other. All these armies are the same cold, ruthless, and selfish people. But for once I have something to believe in and I think your army could put an end to this stupid war for once. Even if you don't, I have a hope you can."

"Whose side are you on?" I looked at her intently, what was she playing?

"Well, I just committed a crime I'd get killed for, so I'm guessing I'm not exactly a black soldier anymore so my own side." She winked.

A man was thrown onto the table, "Tord what do we do?" Edd eagerly pleas.

I grab out my walkie-talkie, "Red Leader to Soldiers 296, over," I listened to the response, "I need you immediately to get to civilians out--"

Edd took it out of my hands, "No! We're fighting with you!"

Matt grabbed it from Edd and threw it at the wall, "And there's nothing you can do about it," He joined.

I groaned, "You guys don't know what you're getting yourself into--"

Sadie stood up, "I'll cover them, don't worry." she handed me a remote a wrapped something to her arm, "You might not trust me, but I trust you. You know how this works. See you on the other side Tordy~" She pecked my cheek and Matt sent me daggers with his eyes before running off with her. More to explain. And she was so confused, she just stopped a bomb to herself and gave me the controls.

"Red Leader!" a battalion ran up to me, "What do we do?"

"To destroy the bee hive you take out the queen."

Paul came up to me, "You do realize they're out for you right? We need to get you covered!"

"We need to stop Thomas, if we all die none of this will matter and the Black Army wins-*ACK nghhnn*" I stumbled on the floor. My head feels so light and fuzzy my arm kinda hurts too. I-I can't seem to keep my balance. I-I can't..

"WE NEED COVER NOW!" Paul screamed, blurs of men rushed in around me and all I could hear was ringing guns. "Tord, Tord can you hear me?" He cried.

"D-D-Dad?" I stuttered. I couldn't understand why but for some reason it made him break into tears. Did I say something wrong? "Aghnn mhmm m-my arm h-hurts," I squeezed my eyes shut the pain was unbearable. I touched my stomach and my fingers were wet with something. I peeled my eyes open and looked at my hand to find it covered in red. Tears welled in my eyes, "A-Am I g-gonna die?" I felt so stupid and childish, the blood loss was making me go into a childlike state of confusion.

"No Tord, just hang on o-okay?" His voice cracked. A big explosion of reds, oranges, and yellows went off nearby, and heat flushed to my right side, Paul put his body over my mind and tried to cover me but everything still hurt. A voice was loud over the intercoms, a Russian woman speaking in a foreign language. A loud monster roared and its thundersteps grew closer. Paul's eyes grew wide, "Tord this is going to hurt but I have to do it,"

"W-What are you-" He picked me up and I couldn't help but scream. It felt like daggers in my body and bones breaking my arm, tears violently poured down my face and I tried to use my hand to stifle my blood-thrilling cries.

Patryck ran by us, "O-Oh my God," he uttered. "We need to get him to the MedBay now!"

"There's no way to get out of this place!" I groaned in Paul's arms, and they both looked at me, "He losing too much blood," Something was wrapped around my arm, and I whimpered at the touch. Through the pain, I still hated feeling this weak.

There was a click then a gun by Paul's head, "Hand him over or we'll kill you and take him ourselves."

"Patryck--"

"SHUT UP! I didn't say speak I said drop him!"

"You boys make such a fuss, Purple Devil, grab the leader and kill him." A big hand reached towards me, its claws were cold against my skin, Paul and Pat yelled, and Black soldiers held them down. I cried and coughed at the pressure of its hand squeezing my body. It held me at eye level.

"T-T-Thomas i-if if UGH ughnn if you're in there, p-please take care of Edd and Matt. A-And I want you to know I'm so happy to b-be your friend. E-Even w-when the world ends and I die I-I'm happy I ughnn I met y-you-AHHHH" I screamed as the monster roaded and gripped me tighter. The longer it roared the more human it became.

When my eyes opened again it was Thomas in a half form in the air, his wings held the both of us up and he was holding me bridal style. He was huffing and wheezing, he was covered in dirt and blood, he had cuts everywhere.

"NO!" Natasha screamed, she grabbed her gun and shot Thomas in the shoulder, he cried out and we both began to wobble. Suddenly there was a huge crash as one of the walls fell down. A tank broke through and Matt popped out of the top, Edd pointed the gun and they both devilishly smiled. In unison, they smirked, "Hasta la vista baby!~"

The black army retreated and loads of Red soldiers ran in, tanks and military trucks filled the school. The boys hopped out of the tank and ran towards us, Tom slowly and carefully dropped me in their hands. He followed along as we all ran. The stars light up the sky. My vision blurred until my eyes closed.
