War of the Gods: generation one

Chapter 5

The damage done to the galaxies was far worse than I expected. Lots of planetary debris. Darkness was everywhere, almost suffocating. The despair and misery I saw was... indescribably bad. I felt beyond miserable just looking at it. Everything would be like this if Yin succeeded in his campaign. My misery quickly turned to anger. My hatred for Yin grew exponentially at that point.

Helena noticed my anger and fury growing. She grabbed my hand comfortingly and looked at me. Her gaze calmed me down somewhat.

"This... I have no words," I told her.

I just stared at it in silence, mourning the lost souls. I didn't notice one of my generals walk up.

"My lord and lady," she started. "A letter from the Dark One."

"Thank you," I said as I took the letter.

Yang,

I won't hand over my galaxies so easily. If you wish for them to be brought back to your insufferable light, then fight me.

I await you on the battlefield.

-Yin.

My blood boiled even more and I destroyed the letter.

"This is now personal."

Helena squeezed my hand a bit, reminding me to make rational decisions.

However, any semblance of rationality left me as soon as a wave of arrows came flying towards us and I charged straight into battle, but not before setting up a barrier to block the incoming arrows. Yin's foot soldiers were charging. I put the barrier down to allow our side to attack.

"Archers! Ready your bows!" I heard Helena order. "FIRE!"

Our archers returned the flurry of arrows. Hitting the battlefield and mostly hitting Yin's foot soldiers. It barely made a dent but both sides fought furiously. I bulldozed through his soldiers and I noticed that one of his lackeys was doing the same. It was Abbadon. I ran him to the side.

"ACK! Oh, it's you."

"Cut the crap and let's fight."

"Straight to fightin'. I like that."

The two of us got into a straight brawl. I knew Helena could handle herself and she was doing a good job leading our military.

Abbadon and I continued fighting. I was hyper-focused on our battle to notice anything. The two of us were trading blows and blasts of energy at each other.

"Damn, yer tough. Why not use that lil' black hole trick of yours? It'll surely end this battle. Oh even better! Why not suck yer brother in? That'll solve everythin'."

"I can't do that!"

Abbadon cackled.

"Not strong enough or somethin'? C'mon Yang. It ain't hard for ya."

The idea of keeping Yin trapped in a bubble of space was tempting, but I knew I couldn't do that. I ignored his remarks and kept fighting.

"Yer ignorin' me now? Rude."

"You aren't worth listening to," I said. Then I threw him across the field. The two of us kept fighting until he collapsed. Our armies were still hashing it out but I saw Helena and Yin fighting. I noticed Yin getting the upper hand and Helena struggling. I raced up to help her and blocked an incoming attack from Yin.

"Your knight in shining armor is here m'lady," I said to her with a wink.

"Now's not the time to be corny Yang," Helena said with a slight laugh.
