An explosion erupted from the centre of Tech City, a dark brown hedgehog flew through the air and landed on the roof of a tall building. He looked around and saw a white hedgehog standing on a nearby rooftop, glaring at him, "I'm gonna beat you this time, Val!" he yelled, "I've gotten a lot stronger since last time."
The brown hedgehog sighed, "Gabe…you can never beat me, I'm too powerful…why do you keep trying?" Gabe leaped across to the roof Val was on, "Because…I hate you!" Gabe swung a katana sword at Val, who blocked with his own, and the two began fighting fiercely.
As they duelled, Val's thoughts kept asking the same questions.
Brother my brother
Tell me what are we fighting for
We've got to end this war
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend This war never began
We can try
Brother my brother
Val kicked Gabe back and he fell to the floor, "I'm not done yet!" Gabe's hand crackled with electricity as he lunged at Val, who backhanded the white hedgehog. Gabe stumbled back as Val put his sword away, "Gabe..tell my why."
"Why what?"
"We face each other from different sides, The anger burns can't remember why. It's kind of crazy to cause so much pain. Our foolish pride makes us hate this way"
"You don't even remember why we started fighting?" said Gabe, sounding surprised. Val shook his head, "I remember the serious fighting started when I betrayed the demons of Hell…but we used to fight even when we were training to be Hunters."
We watch our world fall apart
Tell me what good is winning
When you lose your heart
Gabe spat blood onto the ground, "It was because of you…you were always the favourite."
"Wh..what?"
"I vowed to prove I was better then the 'Best Demon in Hell' But no matter how big my achievements were, you always topped them…I hated you so much..and now..I'll kill you!" A ball of lightning formed in Gabe's hand and he dove at Val, who quickly formed a purple fireball and they both held out their attacks. The two collided and a bright white flash flooded the area.
Brother my brother
Tell me what are we fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother
Years ago in Hell, a huge demon fell onto the rocky ground, dead. A young Val landed beside it, a bloody sword in hand. A group of demonic looking Mobians immediately ran over and crowded round and started congratulating him. Val smiled and took the praise, then he looked over and saw another demon, slightly smaller then the one he killed, tumble to the ground not far away, and a young Gabe standing near it, sweating and panting, "Hey Gabe!" Val called, "Come over here!" Gabe looked over and saw the crowd of people surrounding Val, and not one of them said anything to him. He turned and walked away as Val watched him.
Yes We can try
Brother my brother
Yes Let's take a moment and look deep inside
And say we'll learn to give love a try
We're not as different as we seem to be
There's so much more to me than what you see
Later Val found Gabe standing on a cliff overlooking the Demon Barracks. "Hey…how you doing?" Gabe didn't reply
"I saw you take down that Hell Knight..nice job."
Gabe spun round to face Val, "Shut up! No matter how well I do, you're always better, and you get all the attention. I'm just as good a Hunter as you, but no one notices, they just see the favourite. All because you have more powers then I do, that's all it is!"
"Gabe..I'm sorry but I can't exactly stop being good just because you feel like you're being neglected."
"I said shut the fuck up!!! I hate you! I swear someday I'll kill you myself and prove that I'm the best. No one else, me! Gabe the Hedgehog!!"
You don't have to be this way
Think about the consequences
Turn around and walk away
Brother my brother
Tell me what are we fighting for
Isn't life worth so much more
We should love one another
Oh, can't we just pretend
This war never began
Tell me why
Brother my brother
Val woke up, lying on the rooftop, he sat up and looked around. Gabe was nowhere to be seen. He stood up and looked all over but found nothing. Then a sharp pain hit him, he winced and felt it coming from the arm he'd blocked Gabe's lightning with. 'The blast must've knocked me out' he thought, 'But..if I was unconscious…why didn't he…' Val smiled and walked to the edge of the building and looked out over the city as the sun set, "Hehe..I'll see ya, bro."
