After the end

Chapter Eight: Tord's good soldiers

*Tord Pov*

Once Tom and I finally retreated to our bunker room, I grabbed his hand and said “I’m sorry about dragging you guys into this. But I have a new mission, it is to make good soldiers out of you.” He smiles and kisses my cheek mumbling “Am I your good soldier?” I blushed and wrapped my arms around his neck “yes, your my good soldier” We eskimo kissed and two of my least favorite soldiers walked in. It wasn’t Pat and Paul. My face froze, it was the two that never listened. I can’t even remember their names. They just started cracking up. The female just said “Wow, our boss has the hots for the jehova!” I stood up and punched her in the face, saying “that is no way to speak about your Leader!”  Tom started laughing and stood up, walking over to the girl and saying “Isn’t it funny? I arrived after you, long after you did, and yet, I have a better rank with Tord here. She stood up and laughed “Why would I want to be close to that loser?” I grabbed her by the collar, and began yelling at her “That is no way to talk to your leader! If you don’t shut your fucking trap, I’ll shut it for you!” I punched her in the jaw and the guy dragged her off, after I commanded him to of course. I shut and locked the door, grabbing an old scrap book from when we were kids. I found the vhs tape I was looking for and put it on the television. Tom knew exactly what the tape had on it because he blushed and demanded to know why I still had it. I just smiled and shrugged as it started. It was of me and Tom as kids, back when it all started.

*Tom’s Pov*

I watched the vhs with Tord for a while before asking “Why did you keep this? I mean to be honest, I wouldn’t have kept it.” That’s when I heard younger me say it. “I love you Tord, when I get older I’m going to marry Tord!” Then younger Tord say “Tom I…. I don’t think boys can marry each other” my reply made me cringe “C-can we still kiss?!” He replied with “Yes we can still-” younger me cut him off and said “KISS ME NOW! NOW!”  I visibly cringed and Tord laughed a bit. As we watched it most of them made me cringe, some of them I loved. One was from when me and tord where out in a field and he wove together a bunch of dandelions together to make me a flower crown. I kept that flower crown a while after it withered away. I smiled as Tord leaned on me “heh, you were so excited when i tried to show you how to make them.” I blushed, “Ha, i still barely know how you even made it!” my smile widened, it was hard to imagine that we ever found each other as enemies. That's when the promposal scene came on. Tord and I were dressed up, on a date or something. I pulled out a ring box and slid it over to him, he looked from me to the camera and opened it, crying tears of joy. Inside was a ring with ‘prom?’ Engraved on it. Tord paused the tape and got up out of nowhere, reaching under the bed, and pulling out a box. He opened it and pulled out that ring. He put it on his left hand ring finger and pulled out a box, handing it to me. I had a feeling I knew what that box was. I opened it and there was a ring. Engraved on it was ‘Yes’. I smiled and hugged him, tighter than I’ve ever hugged anyone.

*Tord’s pov*
I lay my head on Tom’s shoulder and smile, playing the tape again. Once the tape ended he smiled and looked me in the eyes, we both smiled, leaning in for a kiss. We were about to kiss when my father walked in and yelled “We’re Under Attack! THREATCON DELTA!” I got up and grabbed a syringe “I’m sorry I have to do this Tom, but you need a boost in strength. Don’t kill anyone of our side please.” I hand him the syringe and he looks at me confused “what the hell is this?” He asks as I take off my ring and put it in the box “It’s something I got mutated especially for you. Hurry up and take off the ring, get ready, and put that drug in your system!”  I demanded, pulling on my overcoat, boots, hat, and grabbing my gun.

*Tom’s Pov*

I put my ring in the box and pull on my uniform, it was different from everyone else on Tord’s team. I jab myself in the leg with the syringe and scream with pain as the mutation goes into my blood, my heart starts to slow and I black out from the pain, next thing I know Tord has me in chains, my skin is starting to change purple but hasn’t taken full effect. “Tord….” I grunt out through the pain. He looks at me, a sorry look in his eyes “yes Thomas?” I look at him, my eyes starting to water “It hurts… Why does this hurt?” A few minutes later Edd and matt were by our sides, they were staring at me, they looked terrified, Tord handed Edd a dark green Syringe and Matt a light blue one “Use those, they’ll hurt a bit, but it's either those or lose your life.”  They both put their drugs in their arms and before long they both passed out, at that point some other soldiers, Pat and Paul, took them off the the back, they were in chains too. I tried to speak but all that came out was a growl. Tord looked up at me and took a drag of his cigar, blowing the smoke in my face “Thomas, you look like a monster” he smiled, insanity in his eyes “Lets go kill some fuckers!” He yelled as we marched outside, he let go of my leash and unchained me . I couldn’t control my thirst for murder so I ran, tearing people apart, I looked to my left and saw Edd, he had his powers back. I look to my right and see Matt, he was a Zombie. What do I look like? My mind goes blank and I can no longer see but I hear the screams. And I hear Tord laugh and cry with pain, it was the most terrifying thing I’ve ever been through. There’s only one word to sum this feeling up: war. I roar one last time and then my brain stops, I can't think, feel, anything.

*Eduardo's Pov*

I can hear the guns and cannons and take the injection the nurse gave me. The liquid in the syringe was dark green, almost black. I plunge the syringe into my arm and send the liquid into my bloodstream, adrenaline hits and I’m up, flying actually. Jon looks at me and smiles, mumbling “Numero Uno” We both rush out of the hospital area and get outside I see Edd, he was in trouble too, someone was attacking him and he couldn’t get up! Jon went to help Matt as I helped Edd. I looked at edd, he was bloodthirsty, it was obvious. That's when it hit me. I wanted to see bloodshed, I wanted to let out all of my rage, I want to kill. I began tearing people to shreds, quickly killing entire troops.

*Tord’s pov*

I took out the syringe that I held for myself and jabbed it into my arm, I have no idea what will happen or how powerful I’ll become, I just hope we win this small battle. My legs grew weak after a few minutes and then I felt the liquid take affect. My k9s grew and pointed into fangs, horns started popping out of my head. I felt my tailbone extend into a long, demonic, almost satanic tail. and lastly, large red wings sprouted out of my back. I began to laugh, Flying higher and higher until I kicked off of the top of the building heading straight towards the attacking army leader. Once I got to him I tore open his throat with my claws, eating his flesh and bones. Then I lost control, not even being able to see. But I could hear and feel. I was tearing people apart, and eating their insides. After several hours of this I passed out, they must have retreated.
