Chapter 1: History

"Ah, yes brother. It is I, Allexis Xeno, your twin brother," Allexis said.

"What's the meaning of this, Allexis?" Leonardo asked.

"It's none of your business, fool." Allexis spat.

"It is. We're your friends!" Phoenix shouted.

Allexis chuckled, causing the thirteen of his former friends to flinch at such a frightening chuckle. "Friends," asked Allexis as he gave a crazed look, "what do you mean by 'your friends'? All you ever did was leave me behind your backs. You never dared to look at me and left me sinking in the darkness."

Alexander slowly walked up to Allexis and asked, "Allexis, why didn't you tell us? Why... why didn't you tell me?"

Alexander was then pulled back by Noel and Cobalt.

"What the hell are you thinking?! Do you not see those demon-like creatures standing behind him!?" Cobalt yelled.

"Those demon-like creatures... Allexis... us..." Noel mumbled.

"Get away from our friend you stupid monsters!" Storm shouted.

Elena trembled in fear of such scary-looking creatures. Morissa noticed and stood in front of Elena.

"Don't worry, Elena. I'll protect you."

"M-Morissa..." Elena muttered.

"Allexis, you need to explain right now! Why are there demon-like creatures behind you! Why are you doing this!?" Cassondra demanded.

"Perhaps another day. Now move fools. I have a task to do." Allexis said.

"Stop it, Allexis!" Alexander shouted.

The large creature beside Allexis ran up to Alexander with a skull ax in its right hand. Everyone's eyes widened and began running away. Alexander stood there, unable to move in fear. Noel and Cobalt tried pulling Alexander away from the demon-like creature running towards them.

"Move your damn feet!" Cobalt yelled.

Noel sighed, knowing that yelling at Alexander to move would do nothing. Noel ran in front of Alexander and Cobalt. Noel got into a stance with his hands in front of him as the demon-like creature bringing his ax up, ready to slice Noel into two.

"Ice Technique: Ice Shards!"

A light blue circle appeared in front of Noel Noel with ice-like features designed onto the light blue circle. Ice shards that were very pointy from the very bottom flew out of the ice blue circle towards the demon-like creature. As it flew out, the demon-like creature stopped running and blocked itself, crying in pain of such sharp ice shards.

"Let's run while we still can." Noel calmly stated.

Everyone nodded and Cobalt placed Alexander on his back. Alexander, still unable to move, stared at his brother. His brother was different indeed. As quiet as Allexis was, Allexis was the most polite and intelligent brother, yet now, he's controlling these demon-like creatures with such a dark aura.

"Brother..." Alexander muttered.

"After them!" Allexis shouted.

The demon-like creatures yelled and began chasing after them. Allexis was picked up by the large injured demon-like creature. "Shall we go, master?" the demon-like creature asked.
