Nicky

Chapter 17

**6 1/2 Years Later**

I was completely different now. I had no control over myself, my body, everything. Kanthar had somehow take over me. I had no control. All I could do was watch out of my own eyes the pain I started to cause. I no longer spoke to my king and love, Jordan, I've made terrible new laws, I made myself queen until I die, and I couldn't stop it. 

I let the reality down and myself, I failed. I couldn't even kill myself to end it all since I had no control. Kanthar had started to brainwash me. I was in constant pain in my mind, crying, that's all I could do. There was no escape or hope. Kanthar had learned how to take control of my abilities. He seized me as his next subject, like he did to Mack. 

I think I would have the same fate. Poor Jordan was scared to even go near me. He never let my own daughter, Rosy, go near me. But, Rosy was scared of me too. During special operations, I went in and slaughtered everyone who got in the way, but it wasn't me. I would've at least given them a chance to surrender. He abused the knowledge that I had of dark power. 

He would drain the energy out of me until my legs came super close to giving way. He would talk to me and try to brainwash me. Kanthar had given Mack a special serum to bit me with which allowed Kanthar to access me. He was part me but he was also out there, in his own body. I don't know how this was even possible. He was truly a dark, evil master. 

I was in my room one day, just sitting on my bed, thinking. "You know, you're going to help me destroy this reality and all others today." He said. My eyes widened. Destroy my own reality? No, no way. It isn't possible.

"You know the codes to get to this realities core and I know how to destroy it, the perfect mix." He said. No, it wasn't true. He couldn't have figured out how to do such a thing.  He wouldn't. He wouldn't destroy an entire reality. 

"Why are you doing this?" I asked. 

"So I can watch the people suffer as my revenge."

"Revenge for what?" I had no clue as to what could've possibly driven him this insane. 

"Too many questions, now shut up, lets go to the front entrance." He said. This made no sense. He walked my body down to the front entrance room. I soon realized what was about to happen. 

"Enemy at the gate!" A guard screamed. 

"Oh my god, it's Kanthar..." Another guard said. "Attack!" He shouted. Right before anyone could do anything, Kanthar snapped his fingers and every guard at the front dropped dead. 

"Oh my god," I said to myself. 

"Ah Nicky," He said with a evil smile. "I've been waiting to meet you." He walked up to me and stroked my chin once. "Hehe, yes, a feisty little one." I wanted to kill him right then and there, but somehow, he had control over my body. "Now, lets get down to business." We started walking towards the secret chambers entrance. Multiple guard arrived, but Kanthar hid, leaving me to kill them. My arm raised and my fingers snapped. 

"We're going to put you through a little...test, even though you'll pass perfectly." He said. Luckily Jordan nor my daughter were home. We started walking towards the meeting room, where my parents were.

Oh no...

We walked inside where my dad stood with all the guards. "Nicky! Stop this madness!" He commanded. His sword was drawn in his left hand. I raised my arms again and snapped my fingers. 

"NO!" I screamed. All the guards, but my dad, dropped to the floor, dead. 

"I'm going to have you fight your dad." Kanthar said. 

"No! You can't!" I yelled. 

"Oh? Yes I can." I suddenly felt myself run towards my dad. We clashed swords and fought. It was to the death. I sung my sword repeatedly. My dad only defended, not wanting to kill me. I knocked his sword up into the air, leaving him exposed. I saw the sword penetrate his stomach through my eyes. 

"Nooooooooo!" I screamed. Tears flooded my eyes. "Dad! I'm so sorry!" I yelled. He dropped to his knees with a tear. 

"I..I love..you." He said. I felt my face mean mugging him. I pulled the sword from his stomach. He face planted to the floor, dead. I took his sword from his scabbard and kept is to use it for my own.

"Oh my god! Zao!" I heard my mother cry. I quickly looked to the side at her. She stood in a doorway, crying, she looked from Zao to me. My god, Kanthar, no, please. I felt my arm cock my sword. My arm lunged forward, releasing the sword, sending it towards my own mother. I saw the same look that my father had when the sword impacted, square into her stomach. 

"Nooooohohohohoooooooooo!" I screamed as I collapsed onto the floor, crying, in the dark void as I watched. "Whyyyyy?!" I yelled as I cried even harder. 

"Now, where were we?" Kanthar said. "I'm gonna kill you!" I screamed. He walked my body to my mother and I pulled the sword out as she lied on her back. We reached the chambers entrance.We walked in and through a few rooms. I slowly got up from the floor, but I was still crying. We eventually reached the core. Kanthar walked up behind me and reached his hand into the core. 

"Shinde ir quanta." He said.

**Perspective change to Jordan**

Me and my daughter, rosy, were walking home from playing. Once we reached the outside of the castle entrance, a guard ran up to us and said "Don't enter!" 

"Why? What's wrong?" I asked. 

"Kanthar is here! Him and Nicky are working together! Zao and Celisa are both dead!" He said as a tear ran down his cheek. "N- Nicky killed them!" I didn't believe what I was hearing. It couldn't be true. 

"Daddy, what's wrong?" My daughter asked as she tugged onto my shirt. 

"N- nothing pumpkin." I said. 

"Sir, they're going to-" Suddenly, an explosion happened from within the castle. A giant beam of light soared into the sky The sky itself began to crack. I knew exactly what was happening. I casted a spell that brought Dakota to me. I created a shield with the three of us inside.

"Hey, don't leave m-" Suddenly, the entire place exploded. The planet, the reality, everything. I heard the screams of millions of people in my head. The shock wave could be felt throughout all the realities. I saw in my head that all leaves on the balance tree had disappeared. The balance reality, had ceased to exist. I was now in a bubble with mine and Nicky's child and Nicky's only family left, her sister. 

I then casted us to the Earth reality where me, Nicky and Dakota would hide out. Dakota was older and more understanding. We were in a house of the city of Montana. "We need to stop Kanthar, it's only up to us now." Dakota said.

"No, there will be others. In time, we will stop Kanthar, and my wife." I said. I was determined to stop them both from the madness, even if it meant harming or killing my own wife to save others.
