The Night We Fell Apart

CHAPTER 17: THIS MEANS WAR!

The explosion had taken out the whole tower that they had been in. Everyone had been protected by the barrier made by Silas. But, the shield popped as they all fell from the top of the tower to the bottom. "AHHHHHHHH!" They all yelled, plummeting straight to their demise. Carter had his eyes closed while the group was falling from the sky. He heard a voice that echoed through his head. "Carter, call out to me... You can do it... Don't forget, chump, I am here for you, dummy." Shiva said, laughing. Carter smiled and opened his eyes. He let off some energy to grab each one of them. He floated them down, and they gently hit the ground. "WHOA! You awakened your Numen!" Atlas said, shocked. Silas smiled and looked at where Liev and Flint had been standing.

"HAHAHAHAAHH!" Flint exclaimed, laughing. "Awaken Malthor," Flint said sternly. Liev started to be covered in a dark aura; he began to roar and grow in size. The group watched in shock. Liev had been a Numen. Not only that, but he was the legendary shadow dragon, Malthus. "Now K I L L them." He said, laughing. Liev now Malthor roared as a large beam appeared from his mouth and shot it at them. The group jumped to the side as the beam went down the middle and made a large crater in the ground. "Gh! How are we gonna stop them!" Derek said, pissed. "Leave Flint to me," Silas said with a vengeance. Silas was beyond furious; he was out to kill. "You guys focus on the dragon." He said, walking toward Flint. Key stood in the way and smiled. "Not on my watch. Too bad, I liked you." Key said, smirking. The standoff began before Silas could attack; Carter came from the side and slammed his fist into Key's face. "Now, who is the bitch." Carter sneered. "GH, I WILL KILL YOU!" Key said, rushing at him. Silas dashed at Flint. Flint laughed and flew toward him too.

The war had begun.

Everyone else had been preoccupied with fighting the dragon. With one roar, the ground split. "AH!" Flip said, scared, almost falling in. Lance grabbed him and threw him on the other side. Demons had appeared from the ground, as this battle had only become more complex. "HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO FIGHT ALL OF-" Frost said before getting cut off by a significant red light. "HAHAHA! TIME TO DEMOLISH IDIOTS!" Macho said; the group fighting the demons and dragons turned around and smiled. The dragon had slammed into the ground. Macho was back in the battle. He looked like he had been healed and ready for fighting. "What the hell..'' Atlas said, shocked. He then proceeded to smile and get into a fighting stance. "Let me handle this ugly dragon," Macho said confidently. The dragon roared and began to slash. The wind was released from his attack and sent everyone flying backward. Key noticed Macho had appeared on the battlefield. "What the hell!?" He yelled, confused. Carter rammed his fist into Key's face, "Don't lose track of your opponent!" Carter yelled. Carter jumped back and stood there. Key was pissed off.

"I WON'T LOSE TO A HUMAN! ESPECIALLY A WEAK BASTARD LIKE YOU!" Key yelled. He sent off a pillar of energy that surrounded him. His power spiked like crazy. Carter looked in with the fear that struck down his body. Key had become a full demon. "HAHAHA, I WILL KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND!!" Key yelled, rushing at Carter. He began to blitz Carter and send him on the defensive. The war was raging on with everyone on the ropes. Silas and Flint went head to head in a battle to end all battles. Silas slammed his fist into Flint's face, sending him across the plains. "GHHHH!" Flint grunted as a tree broke his fall.

Silas was pissed beyond, staring him down with the intent to kill. He halted, standing right in front of Flint. "Why did you kill her?" He asked, confused. His eyes were still set on the intent to kill, but his body said otherwise. "We were all a team, and you went a betrayed us? Why?" Silas asked this. His voice had cracked. "Why... well, because you were all too pathetic and weak. I have always hated you from the first moment I met you." Flint sneered. Silas looked at him and started to stumble around. "W-W-What d-d-" Silas looked down at his stomach, trembling. He was stabbed by Flint. Silas collapsed to his knees, and as blood fell, his mouth. Everyone stopped as Flint laughed and threw Silas in the air. "SILAS!" Carter screamed from the top of his lungs. His scream stopped everyone in their tracks.

Silas looked pale and tried to hang on. "Hey, idiot." Said a mysterious figure, smiling at him. Silas began to smile and tear up. "I am glad I get to see you again, Brainy." He said, voice cracking. He went to go hug her, and she phased through him. "You aren't gone yet, though. You will be at peace and with me again in a couple of minutes." She said. Carter started to run toward Silas when Key stood in front of him. "OH NO, YOU DO-" Key yelled at Carter as he got flung across the plains. "Go get Carter," Macho said, smirking deviously. "I will take care of this trash." He said sternly. Carter had never seen Macho so serious. "Gh...'' Key grunted, brushing himself off. Macho and Key had a standoff. Both of them took off and crashed. The rematch of a century commenced.

Carter kept running toward Silas' falling body, but someone had his body already when he got there. "You must be the human that everyone has been talking about." Said the figure. "I-" Carter could barely utter a word, let alone move his body. "Well, let me introduce myself." The figure vanished in the blink of an eye behind Carter and said, "I am your worst nightmare.I am Apep, the King of this realm. Your time has just run out." He slashed at Carter with full force.

SLASH!
