Only time will tell (FutureShipping)

Chapter 23

Don't ask about the hands, I cant even position hands correctly-

What seemed like forever, Acronix lifted his head up to footstepts. "B..brother..?" He stuttered in a weak voice. Krux frowned at the depressing sight before he quietly walked over and knealed down. Pulling his brother into a tight hug. "Who did this to you..." he muttered, Acronix didn't want to say, but he can't lie. "I...is this what you...felt like when...y..you got h..hurt by Her..?" Acronix asked as he held onto his brother. Krux looked at the now opened box, and already anger boiled deep in his blood.

"Yes...yes this is how I felt...oh little brother...he used your heart just as she did with me...you certainly deserve much better than him.." Krux softly said to him. He gently cupped his cheeks. "I don't want you to suffer baby brother...I'll be by your side...i won't let anyone hurt you again..." he cooed. Acronix nodded.

Krux gently wiped his tears away from his eyes. "Listen to me...don't trust the ninjas either...they could be ploting to take your element away from you again." He said quietly to him, hoping to easily manipulate him into his bidding. "T..they wouldn't....i..ive been good.." Acronix stuttered, looking away slightly. "But you was good 41 years ago... now look...the alliance...wu and garmadon in the matter...took our powers.." Krux reminded him.

Acronix didn't want to be reminded. He didn't want to believe it. "B..but.." he muttered, falling silent right after. "They are cold-hearted..they even was 7 months ago...even now they could be ploting...im not saying thing because I hate them..but because I want to protect you from more harm.." Krux softly said as he rubbed Acronix's back. Acronix just sat there silently for a good few minutes till his brother spoke back up. "Join me...help me give them payback for treating us wrong..."

Acronix looked up at him silently. But his brows furrowed and he nodded. Krux smiled gently and hugged him. "Family stick together through and through, I love you little brother.." Krux Said to him, Acronix hugged him back. "I love you too big brother.." he replied. Krux help him stand up, but even if he didn't want him to grab the box again, he just let him. In hopes he doesn't change his mind. "The ninjas are at the Monastery. Borg is at a nearby Café." Acronix mentioned.

"We should start off with Cyrus first. Where the ninjas have no idea what to do and would easily surrender. Easier to get revenge for the pain they caused to us." Krux explained, furthering his plan deeper onto Acronix. His brother just nodded in understanding. "I can easily take him out. He wouldn't be able to do anything to stop me." Acronix said, his hands glowed a green colored aura. Krux nodded for him. "I'll be waiting here for you dear brother." He said, he now looked off to where a green trail was just left when Acronix fast forward.

Cyrus on the other hand, only felt more terrible for reattemting to date a girl. Even when he started to head back to his tower, he couldn't help but feel guilt. A bit further off from the crazy public gave Acronix enough time to fast forward to him, not giving him a chance to react to the sudden green flash before he was knocked out. Acronix felt anger building up. It was a abnormal anger. His normal green glow turned to a darker and grayer tone.

Even his eyes was darker. Acronix scoffed before in no time he had Cyrus with him and Krux. Krux took notice to the sudden changes, he wanted to snap Acronix out of it. But that was deep down. He was facing his own corruption. (The Time Corruption also works in changing the colors of the person's eyes and elemental. It has a stronger effect on the person with the elemental power. Making their element a bit more unstable and unpredictable. Adding to making them slowly loose their sanity.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Its been quite a few hours, no word from Acronix or Cyrus. The ninjas was getting worried, well Pixel was beyond worried. To the point she had atleast one mental breakdown. There was also no signs of Krux either. And Zena had a hunch of where they may be located if all three was not to be seen.

She snuck out and summoned her elemental dragon. Flying high into the sky before she swooped down to the city. Even if it was a slightly long journey [to the west- :D]. She flown to the Museum and landed before having it disappear underneath her. She landed on the ground before she walked inside. Taking a sword from a Knight statue, even if this was her job, she was still willing to protect Cyrus by any means.

She walked to the back room, normally a story area for items not put onto dislay. She walked to the secret lever and pulled apon it. She watched as it opened slowly. Her memory serving right, she went in and quietly shut it behind her. "Lets see if you're here.." she muttered, slowly getting bad memories of this old place. She did walk to the other broken hatch before walking into the sewers. She summoned her dragon again, which was small enough for the sewers itself.

She had the dragon navigate the sewers, but around half way, she came to a beam of green light, which made her stop immediately and let that light just barely pass her. She recognized that light, but she didnt recognized the distorted color. She looked to see a figure crash into a few old boxes. She already knew who it was by the color scheming and armory of the person, let alone the fast ability they have. "Acronix..?" She quietly questioned, unsummoning her dragon.

He stood up and dusted off his armor before he withdrew a sword. "You came prepared. Brother was right." He lowly said, though never to mention what he ment before his hands glowed a distorted color. It was hard to tell what it exactly was, but once he swung it, it stopped her. "But not enough." He added as he walked over to her. "But with you...they are going to really notice you gone..especially Zane. Only if I knew how you worked, I would power you off." He pratically talked to himself, but she could hear him talking.

Tapping her leg with the blade as he thought, he recalled the day he actually knocked out Zane by pressing a certain spot on the neck. He decided to try that with her, making sure to unfreeze her after a while. Just his luck, she fell down to the ground unconscious. With a huff, he picked her up, rather feeling the need to drag, but apart of him was resisting. Resisting alot more than the corruption expected.

He fast forward to the old dome, where he meet a unconscious Cyrus and a tied up Krux. "Stop this...please...Acronix doesn't deserve this...", Krux pleaded with a weak voice. His body felt numb and weak, due to barely using his own body. "Shut up. You are lucky to be set free. Now unless you want me to control you again, I'll certainly do so. As you still want to get revenge for your parents demise." Acronix said, but his voice changed to fit the appropriate Corruptions voice.

Krux stayed silent as he watched the droid get tied up in much thicker chains. "You know, I can clearly see the differences you and Acronix have. How he wanted to help you change. But you know you won't change. You haven't changed since you left her. Your heart is still broken. Your brother wasn't enough? He is the only one you care about yet you let this happen." 'Acronix' said as he turned to Krux. Krux only looked away from him quietly.

Acronix grinned before he turned on his metal heals and walked off. Krux teared up before he curled up his legs. "No wonder why mother wore that necklace...she knew that...that demon would take over..." he muttered, before he now realized what he had to do. "Zena! Wake up! Please!" He quickly said in a panic.

Aha i finished this during break :D
