——————————————————————
Peace after Entity's defeat was short lived. Entity was defeated, but his legacy still lives. As soon as he died, corrupted code quickly consumed his ex-slave. Seto tried his hardest to fight back, but his will power was still recovering from the constant mind control. Soon, Entity lived through the sorcerer-demon hybrid. Tears ran down Skylar's cheeks as he helplessly loses his twin brother once more. As months pass, the Brine always sensed Seto in the corrupted coding causing him to hesitate to end his brother's life.

However, this battle was the worst. Numerous cities and villages became their battleground. Casualties piled up. Skybrine was forced to face his brother in battle. As Enderlox and WitherMU finished defeating Seto's army, they glanced up to find an opening to help their older brother like friend only to realize that Sky is the only match for him. The twins could be seen as red and yellow streaks in the sky. Their magic flashed across the clouds. Skylar was beaten up and exhausted while Seto showed no signs of slowing down.

After a while, Skybrine finally gained the upper hand and pinned the enemy onto a wall. Once again hesitated to defeat his brother for good. "Seto, fight it! You can... you can control it. I know you can! Fight it, Lucifer!" Sky uselessly hoped. With gritted teeth, Seto grabbed control of himself. He saw the struggle in his beloved brother's eyes. "S-Sky... Listen to me. I want you to do something! Stop hesitating! Trap me, imprison me, kill me, I don't care! Just get me away from our people!" Desperation filled Seto's voice. The corrupted prince gave a small, sad smile as a tear rolled down his face. He wiped a tear away on the king's face with his thumb. "It'll be ok. I promise..." He leaned his forehead on Sky's, taking in his scent for what might be the last time. "We'll see each other again soon... The moon will shine upon us again.."

With that, his beautiful purple eyes flickered back to Entity's signature glowing red eyes. The prince used his wings to release himself from the other's grip. The two shot up into the air to have an aerial battle once more. The two shot their magic at each other causing them to collide. The rest of Team Crafted and their army watched the white ball of collision magic grow closer and closer to the Nether King, and eventually blow him into a building. Sky coughed up blood. Beside him, his mother's beautiful staff appeared. It seemed to be stronger than he remembered, enhanced with his deceased father's magic. He looked up seeing Seto fly straight at him. He weakly picked up the scepter and held it straight in front of him. He mumbled a spell quietly. The king couldn't bring himself to kill his beloved twin brother, so he did the next best thing: Skylar banished Seto to the moon with a flash of golden light.

Although victory was theirs, no one celebrated, for they have lost their prince and their friend. Tears flowed down Sky's face now. He screamed. His weakened depression and suicidal thoughts overtook him.
He had just lost his brother and best friend for good.
