Smoke filled Edds lungs as he erupted through the flames, ducking gun fire and running down the halls of the buildings. The roar of the helicopters thundered as more of the red leader's soldiers dropped into Edds base, bombing several areas. Edd skidded to a halt as the area shook and thundered, horror piercing through him. His heart screamed loudly in his chest as he heard the call from the helicopter above.
      "Green leader! You're cornered! Just surrender and we'll let you live! Red leader doesn't wanna do this!"
A bitterness and hatred burned in Edds gut, not even a flicker of regret passing through him.
     "I'm no coward! Ill die before I join Tord!" Edd screamed over the roar of the scene.

Tord sighed, gazing down from the copter at Edd, sadness seeping through him. Tom huffed behind him, waking him to the reality of the moment. Matt looked like he was on the verge of tears, hugging toms arm and trembling. The spiked hair male adjusted his visors and hugged Matt with one arm, his gaze empty as the flames reflected in his visors.
     "Very well, drop it," Tord sighed, his voice hardly more than a whisper.
The horn haired male gazed down into the flames, looking at Edd for the last time. He figured it would end like this for Tom and not Edd, which only made his heart ache more. Tom was sensible and joined the red army without a doubt, which know that Tord thought about it was probably because Matt was apart of the army. Tord wouldn't admit it but he loved Edd dearly, hoping the cola loving leader would feel the same. He had planned on asking him out many years ago but of course Tom had soiled his plans. Tord sighed, gazing over to said male and gazed into the visors, only the reflection of the flames greeted him.

Edd gazed up, locking eyes with Tord briefly. A bitter feeling swept through him, his gut churning. As he stared at Tord the whoosh of a bomb greeted him. The whole area went up in flames with a boom and a loud wail from above. Edd breathed in the smoke, feeling woozy. Memories flooded through his head as he tumbled to the ground, the smoke filling his lungs. He wheezed out a choking wail, his body falling to the ground. The leader listened to the dying screams of his army, reminding him with a burning hatred of why he hated Tord. Memories of the explosion fueled Edd to stand, his head whizzing like a rocket. He tried not to breathe in whatever natious chemical was being added to the air, his body screaming in agony. Edd stopped in horror, listening to the soft crack of the walk behind him. He quickly turned, watching as the wall teetered and began to fall. He let out a choking wail for help but was cut off as the wall crushed him, squeezing the rest of the air out of his lungs.

Tom blinked, his digital eyes watching as the wall collapsed crushing the green leader. Normally he, Tord, and Matt would be over joyed by the victory, one less leader to take care of. But this was diffrent.
Oh so very different.
This wasn't any other leader, this was Edd. Their best friend, someone they'd watched turn into the leader he was now. Tom listened as Matt whimpered beside him, wanting to give the world to the man besides him. He wanted to hug Matt, comfort him in any way but he couldn't move. Tom felt glued to the spot, his eyes underneath the visors watering.
     "We did it.. He's dead," Pau spoke from the front slowly.
     "Is he?" Tord sighed, ordering pat to land the plane.
     "He's dead Tord, the wall fell on him," Pat huffed in response.
Tord snarled, tears sparkling in his eyes shocking both tom and Matt. They'd never seen him cry before.
     "It is sir to you! Now I told you to land this plane Solider and that's an order!"
Pat flinched but quickly nodded, steering the plane towards the ground. Tom finally felt his muscles finally loosen enough to be able to move again.
     "Oh Matt!" He wailed almost immediately, hugging him tightly.
Matt began sobbing, burying his face into toms chest making the other cry too.
     "What a bunch of babies! Straighten up soliders!" Tords voice cracked slightly as he spoke.
Tom glanced over to see Tord was sobbing and clutching his knees to his chest, making guilt churn in his gut. He felt horrible and began to pull away from Matt and comfort Tord but stopped in his tracks when the ginger leaned up and kissed him. Toms digital eyes widened in surprise but quickly kissed back, never pulling his arms away from Matt's back. Tord watched them, his heart aching. He gazed back into the chaos, his eyes burning, wishing he could undo so much. He stared into the flames, noticing his attention was drawn to the spot the walk used to be, but knew very well he was attempting to distract himself from the two behind him.

Edd coughed, blood splattering onto the concrete in front of him. He gasped, patting his chest quickly and gazing around. He brushed debris off him and struggled to stand, his feet refusing to lift him. He listened to the click of boots and heard a sharo gasp and a soft whisper, recognizing it instantly and gazing to the ground.
     "Hello Matt,"
The ginger choked in reply, shuffling closer to Tom. Tord blinked, watching as Edd looked up at him. Blood dripped from his chin and Tord blinked into the males chocolate eyes. Only anger shone in their depths.
     "Hello Tord, care enough to come all the way to me and blow my brains out?" Edd snorted and coughed, blood splattering onto Tords shoes.
      "Come on Edd! It doesn't have to end like this! Just come with us please! You'll fit right in with his army, come on Edd we need you,"Tom pleaded.
      "Oh my god, you're a coward Tom! Can't you see Tord is using you! Like he always is!" Edds voice was bitter, making the trio flinch.
      "He's different now! The army has changed him Edd! Please just come and see for yourself!" Matt whined, tears pouring into the ashy earth.
Edd stared, anger glittering in his brown eyes. "Are you stupid?! Have you both forgotten what he's done! He blew up our house! He tried to kill Tom and killed our neighbor! Later he fucked up your face in another attempt to murder Tom! He turned me into a murderer! I had to kill countless innocent people just to end his reign! And you two cowards have the audacity to join him?!" Edd was sobbing now, blood and tears dropping onto the earth as he shakily stood up to meet Tords horrified gaze, "And you. I should have taken Toms advice all those years ago and never trusted you! I let you back once and you blow up my house, try to kill one of my best friends, and kill my neighbor! Amother time after Tom and Matt left me," he shoot a glare at the two before returning his harsh glare to Tord,"barely able to afford my shitty apartment, you offer me everything I could have wanted! And oh how foolish I was too accept it! Why? Because you took my virginity Tord, you took my room mates life and now this? And you expect me to come back?"
Tord blinked slowly at his friend, watching the blood and tears slide down Edds face. Edd took in a rugged breath and collapsed, landing in Tords arms. Tom and Matt were in a stunned silence, watching Edd wrap the red leader into a vicious hug. Edd weakly buried his face into Tords ripped hoodie, enjoying the smell and reminding him of happier times. He smiled shakily, his heart dropping as he felt something press against his chest. He gazed down to see blood splatter on the muzzle of Tords gun, realizing with a sick horror Tord was gonna kill him. Edd looked up, meeting Tords empty gaze. Edd glanced down again and smiled, wrapping his arms around the males neck and giggling. Tom and Matt exchanged confused glances as Tord sighed.
      "Edd I'm sorry-Mhmph!" He was abruptly cut off as Edd kissed him roughly, tears still pouring down both their faces.
For a brief moment everything seemed to stop and turn to slow motion. Tord smiled weakly at Edd and pulled away, adjusting the gun to where Edds quick beating heart was.
      "I love you Tord, good luck,"
      "TORD PLEASE DON'T!" Matt screamed, trying to pull them off each other but Tom stopped him.
       "Love you too, goodbye old friend,"

Crack

Matt screamed as blood erupted from Edds chest and a rugged gasp escaped the males lungs. Tord was completely still as Edd shakily lifted his hands and pressed them weakly to his chest, turning them red in mere seconds. Tom let out a choking wail as Edd fell back, offically dead, and Tord slowly got up. The gun dropped to the ground as Matt screamed louder running over to clutch Edd in his arms.
Tord stared blankly at the corpse, listening to the fire crackle, Matt's wails, and the distant screams of soldiers. Pat and pau ran up, spotting Edd and immediately going to hug Tord. The male shrugged them off, walking past Matt and tom, who was now hugging the ginger and crying, and sighed, "The deed is done, The green leader is dead. No use crying over it, the victory is ours," Was all that was said, but Tord couldn't help but sniffle.
