Our Souls Will Be Stronger Than Stone (SIUA BOOK 2)

Chapter 2. Bravery's fault

Something bad is going to happen...

"Cory, this is a bad idea..."

Shelby said, observing the giant being made of purple magic in front of her. Cory sighed.

"Look. I don't like it either. But I don't really have another option."

He said.

"You could run."

"You could let us help."

Adam and I said. Cory didn't acknowledge what we said, and let the beast be free. X said nothing, but summoned their knife and charged the creature without a second thought. Jumping into the air on a pixel... wait a pixel?

"Uhh... Is anybody else seeing this?"

I asked, looking at the fact that our world was currently falling apart beneath us. Adam screamed like a girl, Ross and Shelby were holding back tears, and Max was pissed. Cory didn't even notice as he was focusing on leading his minion to battle, which was cut in half by X.

"Is that all?"

X asked. Cory scowled. I didn't know if we was glaring as we couldn't see his eyes, but he looked mad. He gestured to Max, who ran headfirst at X, the Z necklace Max had glowing as if it was sitting in lava. Max encased his fist in an orange boxer glove, and aimed to X's face, who jumped into the air, and threw their knife down at Max.

I... can't say what happened after that. I saw it, yes, but... Max...

Ross screamed.

"MAX LOOK OUT!"

At the top of his lungs. But Max didn't look in time. The knife cut him through. Completely. 

"MAX!"

We all yelled, as his form wavered, and then turned to dust. X landed on the ground, and tore Max's soul in half, throwing the pieces to the side before they vanished for good. Ross looked at the ceiling, the roof of Snowdin's place in the underground. The orange heart that stood there was now gone. Max was sincerely, and honestly dead.

"You..."

Ross muttered. Quickly thinking, I grabbed both his arms, and pinned them behind him.

"Ross, don't even think about it. We can't lose you too!"

I said, trying my best to restrain the enraged soul of Patience before realizing I could just grab his soul and hold him that way. I did that and then holding him was much easier. From there, Adam just lost it. He started firing bullet after bullet, using a variety of combinations and patterns in his shots to try and kill X. However, X was extremely skilled. The deflected every one of Adam's bullets, and then jumped backwards before running at us. Adam still wouldn't stop firing, and Ross was too mad to pull him back again. Another death as Adam was stabbed, and the soul of Justice was officially dead.

"ADAM!"

Red and Barney yelled. X by now had a large smirk on their face.

"Don't you get it now? If you don't give me what I want, I'll just kill you all off one by one until I do get it. I've destroyed plenty of worlds. I'll destroy this one too. Give me this worlds code. NOW!"

X yelled, pointing their knife in our direction, sending a gust of wind along with it.

"But this worlds almost destroyed!"

Cory shouted back. X scoffed.

"Oh please. Worlds do this with unknown anomalies enter the world and start fighting them off, or when I do... this."

X said, raising their arm, and a purplish-whitish button appeared in front of them. What it said was clear as day. OVERWRITE.

"Normally, this would only work with worlds in which I have the code of. But I don't have this worlds. So I'm going to take it, and kill you guys over and over as I please. Doesn't that sound fun?"

They said. 

"NO! IT DOESN'T YOU PSYCHOPATH!"

I yelled at the top of my lungs. X laughed, but said nothing and charged again. However, I had the decency to jump backwards. Throwing Ross against a snowbank, I guess it was my turn to fight against X. Yay.

I did say something bad was going to happen in this chapter.
