Pure: Hello~ to be honest I have no idea what to do with the story now; I'm making it up as I go, but I do have a plot I just need to fix it!
III: carry on
Pure: I forgot to thank Xyst :) not only for sticking with me when I made my first story and sequel, But for complimenting my name *blushes*
IV: also we're sorry this took so long to update, She's been having a hard time managing her homework and studying her tests
III: she's also had a weird stomach virus
Pure: yea yea, great guys. Forget about me! We should just start the-
IV: on with the story!
Pure: Hey that's my line!
"What the hell were you thinking, why would you steal my car and drive all the way to the fucking hospital!?" V lectured.
Tron stood beside him, not seemingly angry, but actually quite interested at how his eldest son taught IV a lesson.
IV sat on the couch with Haruto. IV being extremely bored because he has sat through his brother's lectures before and Haruto being hopelessly confused.
"And kidnapping Haruto, what is wrong with you!?" V continued.
"If you let me explain-" IV tried to reason with his big brother, But V had cut him off. "No explaining, this is unacceptable".
IV sighed and slouched back down on the couch, mine as well let V have his moment.
After a short while of V's lecture, Tron intervened "Chris, please, let Thomas explain". V quieted down, now embarrassed at his father's tone.
"I had dream" IV started off.
"Another one?" V questioned sounding ticked off. IV ignored his brother and decided not to pick a fight. "Yes, But this was different" IV said "I was at the hospital and I saw III, he walked into a room so I followed him".
Now that everyone was listening, IV could further explain his dream.
"In the room I saw you guys" IV said, pointing to V and Tron "with Yuma, Kaito, and , and you were all surrounding a hospital bed".
IV slowed down and turned to the small child next to him.
Should he say it?
IV bit his lip and added "Haruto was laying there dead".
Everything was silence for a bit, IV let the feeling settle in and then he continued. "III was asking you how it happened, and Kaito said the I-V bag was drained".
"I woke up and drove to the hospital, I got Haruto out of the room and…I saw Barian walk in".
Tron gasped and V's facial expression changed to realization. "Well, I'm sorry I doubted you IV V apologized "Kaito and will be so happy".
"Haruto has to stay here for the night" IV informed him "to keep him safe from Barian".
"Agreed" Tron said "do you mind if he sleeps with you IV, he'll probley need extra warmth". "Sure, no problem" IV answered with a smile.
His dad would know what's best for Haruto; He's met him before from working along with Faker.
Everyone got ready for the night and Haruto snuggled up in bed with IV. Haruto seemed a little nervous, also his was awfully far away from IV on the bed. "Are you uncomfortable?" IV asked " You know I don't mind, I've slept in the same bed with my little brother all the time".
III was the best person to sleep with. He was a silent and fitful sleeper, he could also sleep all through IV snoring. He dearly missed the nights sleeping with his now dead brother; it was one of the only warm, fuzzy moments of his life while he and III spent in the child facility.
IV let go of the memories from the facility and gently bushed Haruto's hair. "Tomorrow you're gonna be safe at home with your dad and brother" IV soothed "all you need to do is go to sleep and you'll be there in no time".
"M'k" Haruto slurred a bit drifting off.
IV lay awake for a bit. If he goes to sleep III's gonna show up.
And he wasn't exactly sure what to think about III's appearances yet.
Were they a bless or a curse?
And what was he showing him?
His anxiety went away as the tiny boy shifted closer to him. Such an innocent soul, Kaito is so lucky.
IV slipped into his own dream world, prepared to see his little pinkette brother…
A dark alley way he was in. He could hear drops of water slide of the medal railings and onto the concrete.
IV waited a bit.
A very faint "give him to me…" was heard. It was a low voice. The red demon, no other.
He heard no other noise but the water for a while. IV stood completely still. The drops of water started to worry him, the sound grew intensely.
Now the only sound he could hear was his increased heartbeat.
Stay calm, stay calm.
More water drops.
Stay calm, stay calm.
Then…
Loud thundering footsteps banged against the ground. III came running by; behind him was Barian, and other un-seeable people.
The whole scene was overwhelming, IV wasn't clear on what to take on it.
As III passed him, the little brother grasped onto IV's arm and pulled him along with him. Together they ran through the streets of heartland.
The usually colorful city was dark and eerie. Bodies of random people sprawled around the streets. It was only him and III against the Barian's.
And within a split second, everyone stopped.
The Barian's and III stood face to face.
"Mihael" IV gasped, "It's ok, Nii-Sama" III told him "I have them right where I want them". Barian faced III and said "I still want Haruto".
"I know you do" III answered "but your intentions with have nothing to do with your real intentions".
Real intention?
"You simply want to kill him because of your rage against the doctor" III said "but the only reason you came here, you killed me, was because you are at war with Astral world".
"Am I not correct?" III clarified.
Barian growled "the war with Barian world and Astral world is information you are not allowed to know".
Then Billions of blue looking creatures piled up on the opposite side of IV and the Barian's. IV guessed they were Astral being, they sort of resembled the description Yuma gave him.
And like that, war began in IV nightmare.
Haruto awoke late into the afternoon.
He pushed through the think, heavy covers as he sat up to check the time. The digital clock read "11:30 pm".
Haruto grinned, content on a good night's sleep. He turned to see that the scar-faced teen was still sleeping next to him.
The bluenette thought it was best to just let him rest, so he climbed out of bed and entered the living room.
The rest of the Arclight were in there already, including his brother.
"Nii-san!" Haruto exclaimed excitedly and ran to hug his brother. "I heard what happened kiddo" Kaito said "I'm so relived your safe".
Tron sighed and shook his head "it's rather rude of Thomas to sleep through this". "It's ok dad, he's always been like that, its habit" V assured, but it was odd.
"But if you want I could wake him up" V offered, "please do" Tron insisted.
V playfully rolled his eyes and entered IV's room.
"Don't be lazy" V laughed "wake up". He shook the middle brother, but he didn't even stir.
"Thomas?" V asked, "Stop playing around".
IV still made no response.
V entered the living room again and tried to explain the situation calmly and quietly.
"Dad, something's wrong" V whispered.
"What?" Tron whispered back.
"Thomas isn't waking up no matter what I try"
"did you smack him?"
"NO!"
"Then you didn't try everything"
"I'm not going to hit my brother!"
They soon realized that they became too loud and the Tenjo brothers were now staring at them. "Is something wrong, Chris?" Kaito asked.
"No no no no no" V told him, but the tone of his voice sounded nervous and un-truthful, "nothing's wrong".
V literally pulled his tiny father into the room with him.
Tron attempted his smacking method, but unfortunately that didn't do the trick.
"I don't know" Tron admitted. He removed himself from his sitting position on IV's chest and hopped off the bed, "something is wrong".
"I knew it" Kaito announced.
Tron swallowed in the next comment he was going to make and turned to Faker's eldest son.
Kaito brought his little brother into the room, holding him close up against his leg.
"Christopher Arclight, if something is wrong with you brother you've got to ask Haruto, he told me everything".
Everyone's attention went to Haruto, The child left the safety of his brother's side and said "III is showing him war".
Dozens of Barian's and Astral beings lay dead on the ground, but the battle still continued.
IV and III hid on the side of a building watching the fighting commence.
III held IV tightly, lying in his lap. It has been a long time since IV had his little brother sit in his lap.
The younger teen had his eyes closed, so IV assumed his dead brother had fallen asleep.
III opened his eyes and smiled "I told Haruto".
"What do you mean?" IV asked.
"I told Haruto why you won't wake up in the real world, there is still so much to show you" III answered.
"Are you gonna let me wake up?" IV asked.
"Of course" III answered "only for the next few days I will show you everything you need to know".
IV paused then asked "III…Is this really you? Or am I just imagining this?"
III let out a small giggle.
"What a silly question" he said softly "but it really is me…"
III stood up and began to walk into the battle.
"Whoa" IV let out a shocked response "wait, what you are doing?"
III turned around and smiled.
"Tommy Nii-Sama" He said "I heard you…I forgive you, can you forgive me?"
and with that, III disappeared surrounding by the aliens at war.
Pure: I'm so so so so sorry that took so long! D:
IV: we really hope this made up for everything, Pure suffering guilt~
Pure: SHUT UP!
Next Chapter: IV awakens and is still confused why III needs his forgiveness; meanwhile, Barian is still looking for Haruto. When IV tries to help, III keeps pulling him into unconsciousness. Why?
