Tale of The Shadow - Complete!

Chapter 14

“I can’t feel anything around her, she’s gone and so is…” Obi-wan gestured to Havok’s body which Anakin had scooped up, the little boy being passed to his parents. Echo held him tightly, sobs escaped the four fathers. 

“You will pay for that!!” Doom snarled, his body glowed green for a minute as he pulled out a weapon known to him, a dagger that Driclor could only laugh at. 

“My battle isn’t with you” Driclor only used the force on not only Doom but Obi-wan, Anakin and Ahsoka, all of them floating barely off the ground feeling like they were being choked from the lack of air in their lungs. Rex shared a fearful look with Hardcase, both of them reaching for their guns to defend themselves when something miraculous happened. 

The winds picked up violently swirling around the whole group, the bodies of Omega and Havok began to glow as the winds intensified and they all soon found themselves in the middle of a vortex. 

“NO! It can’t be?!?” Driclor snarled, his body twisted around looking for whoever was the source, his eyes landed on something beside the medic, a small gem. Kix found himself yanked back by Jesse and Hardcase especially when Driclor aimed straight at them, a staff in his hand flew towards the three regs who held one another only for a violet light to flow around them all. 

“HOW THE HELL ARE YOU ALIVE?! I KILLED OFF YOUR ENTIRE BLOODLINE!” Driclor yelled in frustration as a violet light covered Omega and Havok, the two little bodies took in desperate breaths as a figure stepped through the violet light. 

“Simple, you missed one. Me” 

A cold snake line tone sent shivers through all of their spines as Crosshair showed his face. His silver hair had tints of lilac in them while his eyes glowed a purple, his armour over his body was more modified and the distinct rifle across his back was in pieces over his belt while in its place were identical swords. “Now, I’d suggest trying not to take the life from the pure when the shields of blood are covering their bodies because it’s only recommend when one can feed off them self” Crosshair snided, his eyes glanced back towards his children who were just waking up in the arms of their dads. 

“How can you talk? I thought the curse would…” 

“Oh trust me, I can’t talk anymore. I’ve just linked everyone up via the mind so they can hear your screams when I take away your own ability” Crosshair smirked, Doom glanced his brothers way only to gasp. His baby brother's neck was bruised, scarred and there was a certain necklace around it, Crosshair glanced his way especially when Doom’s expression went from impassive to fear, the younger of the two only smiled removing his swords as Driclor aimed straight for his chest. With no choice but to battle this man, Crosshair continued to defend them all knowing he was on a time schedule. 

“How are they?” Rex turned to the batch who held their children close. Kix was kneeling beside them assessing both Omega and Havok who cried into their parents chests. 

“Not good, I don’t think they are entirely here” Hunter said while looking past Ahsoka only to see Crosshair in an intense fight. Doom was watching with cryptic eyes, Obi-wan beside him, both of them ready to jump in when they were needed but for now, both of them understood this was Crosshairs fight. 

“YOU ARE PATHETIC!” 

“At least I’m something” Crosshair muttered back, his words making Driclor frown, the older man slashed Crosshair across the chest, the sniper never made a noise as he kicked the older man away from him and found pain radiating down his side. 

“Ah, it would seem you aren’t invincible anymore, not with what you are wearing. Just take it off, you can always create more children” Driclor called out, catching all attention. Crosshair glared at him while Driclor smirked.
