The Wrath of Brandon Breyer

Present day…

Brandon screamed out in rage and pain. He used his left hand to block the killing blow. Brandon fired his heat vision but once again Jarkus phased through the blast. The heat vision ripped right through the wall and out the other end of the building. Brandon fell toward the ground. He painfully ripped the shard out from his left palm using his right hand. Brandon flew with his back to the ground.

Jarkus being over three hundred years old was well into his prime by martian standards. He flew faster then Brandon overtaking him slamming his right hand into Brandon's chest burying him in the ground. In the background, Caitlyn's house was on fire and it was spreading to other places in the house. Jarkus quickly in one sweeping motion swipes the shard from Brandon's hand about to thrust it down when Brandon lifted his head up firing his heat vision. Jarkus flew back dropping the shard.

Brandon got up speeding forward grabbing the shard tossing it behind him and continued to dash forward toward Jarkus who kept his arms crossed flying back with an evil smirk. Brandon eyes blazed red, yelling out, consumed by rage. He lunges forward throwing a hard right. Jarkus phased once again. Brandon punched through the wall and flew out the other end of the of the house. Brandon slides to a stop frustrated he couldn't figure out how to get around the phasing of the martian.

Brandon turns around looking up to see Jarkus hovering above him waving the shard at Brandon.

"You found my ship?" Brandon said scornfully.

"Not only did I find your ship and got this token from it. I stole your ship and hid it" Jarkus grins.

"Where is Caitlyn? Where is she?" Brandon trying to hold back his rage and impulse.

"That's for you to find out my friend" Jarkus grins again. A few windows erupted with flames. Jarkus turns his head and his eyes widen in horror flashing back to mars in flames and his people burning. Brandon eyes widened in sadistic rage when he saw Jarkus was afraid of fire. Brandon pushed off the ground flying at Jarkus grabbing both his hands with his, flying him through the back of the house and back out through the roof.

Brandon fired his heat vision, blasting Jarkus into the ground and dragging him across the ground with his heat vision. Brandon looked at his left hand and realized his wounds had healed during the fight. Brandon grins looking down at Jarkus with sudden renewed vigor. Brandon was about to fly forward when he heard coughing coming from the attic of the house.

"Caitlyn?" Brandon turned his head seeing her and her father trapped in spider like silk while the house burned all around them. They couldn't get free and if Brandon didn't do anything they would die. Brandon flew toward the house only to dodge out of the way missing another strike from the shard. Jarkus chased Brandon all around the air trying to slice him with the shard. Brandon dodged and tried to counter with his heat vision. They went back and forth in the air.

Caitlyn started coughing heavily coming to. Freaking out and struggling to break free. She started to panic seeing the fire blazing around. She hears Brandon yelling out in rage looking up through the hole in the roof to see him fighting in the air against the martian.

"BRANDON!" Caitlyn screamed out. Brandon looked down then back up to see Jarkus dodge back missing the shard. Jarkus planted his left foot in Brandon's chest sending him falling through the roof slamming through the flooring to the second floor below.

Caitlyn was terrified she was going to die and excited to see Brandon get bested. She also saw his clothes were bloody meaning this alien could hurt Brandon. Someone could hurt Brandon! That excited her. She wanted to live! Live to see Brandon fall.

Jarkus looks down at Brandon like he is the one who is superior flipping the shard in his right hand. Brandon got up on one knee with a scornful look. Brandon could not let someone stronger then him live. Especially, with the shard! On the other hand he couldn't let Caitlyn die either she belonged to him. She served at his growing pleasures.

"Brandon help us! We can't get free!" Caitlyn yelled out.

"Yes, what will it be Brandon, The shard? Or the girl?" Jarkus mocks. The house was starting to collapse all around them. Brandon just gave Jarkus a cold look watching him wave and fly away. The house collapses inward with Brandon flying through the roof with the dad over his shoulder holding him in place with his left hand and holding Caitlyn by the back of her shirt with his right hand.

Brandon flew to the ground carefully setting Caitlyn down and tossing the dad to the ground like garbage. Brandon's clothes were covered in ash, Caitlyn notices Brandon looked tired and exhausted.

"Saving people who hate you is quite amusing" Jarkus reappears floating to the ground. Brandon stood protectively in front of Caitlyn and her dad.

"What are you talking about?" Brandon did not look amused.

"My race can read minds. That girl hates you for killing her mother and is terrified of what you could do!" Jarkus mocks.

"You lie!" Brandon whispers hatefully.

"Really! Odd that she would have you fight the Aquatic Man? She hoped he would drown you, but when you survived and you two teamed-up killing thousands between you to. She all but drowns in guilt over the lives lost!" Jarkus pointed the shard at Brandon jesting.

"I don't believe you! Your a liar! LIAR!" Brandon yelled out. Caitlyn stood there trembling in fear of the truth Jarkus was speaking.

"Kill him Brandon! Kill him! Kill him NOW!" Caitlyn yelled out with tears in her eyes. She feared Brandon, but she feared this powerful mind reading shapeshifting alien more. She rather keep the evil she knows rather then chance her future with the evil she doesn't know.

"With pleasure!" Brandon started walking forward. It started to rain with sirens in the background. Brandon screamed out in rage firing his heat vision blasting the shard out of his hand then flies forward. Jarkus catches Brandon by the throat giving him a fast right planting him back into the ground.

"Brandon!" Caitlyn yelled out.

"Let's see what deep seeded memories lie in your subconscious mind shall we?" Jarkus pins Brandon to the ground with his knees placing his hands on Brandon's face both their eyes glowing red. Caitlyn looks at the ground to see the shard. Brandon yells out in agony as deep seeded memories come to the surface.

Brandon sees a red sky, he remembers explosions and fires, he remembers screaming and people on fire. He remembers being held by his father in one hand and a futuristic rifle in the other with his woman behind him. He remembers being placed in the ship while his mother was firing her rifle preventing others from trying to claim his pod and save their child.

Brandon remembers looking at his father's chest and seeing the double B emblem on it the same with the mother. The father says something in their language then the pod closes and he remembers nothing but darkness, loneliness, then the pod opening and seeing his adoptive mother Tori Breyer with love in her eyes holding him protectively.

Jarkus yells out in pain realizing Caitlyn had stabbed him in the side with the shard. Brandon blasted Jarkus off of him. Jarkus flew up in a rage holding his side.

"I don't need the shard to kill you! This is only round one of our great game!" Jarkus flew off. Brandon got to his feet firing his heat vision wildly trying to hit the fleeing alien. Brandon stumbled back breathing hard covered in rain and sweat. Caitlyn held the shard looking up at Brandon whom seemed to be crying for the first time. He had his eyes closed and his head leaned back but she could see several tears run down his cheeks.

"Brandon you have to get out of here! The fire trucks are on there way!" Caitlyn pleaded. Brandon looked back down at her with a cold devastated look. "I'll handle things here go!" Caitlyn pleaded once more. Brandon looked at the shard in her hand. He was about to reach out and grab it forcefully from her hand when he saw the firetruck turn the corner. He gave a scorned look and used his super speed to flee the scene having no choice but to trust Caitlyn.

Breyer Farm…

Brandon stood in the cellar of the barn with a lost look on his face. His ship was gone, Erica's body was gone and the would had been repainted covering up his brand he left everywhere in Erica's blood.

"See, I told you the truth" Jarkus voice spoke in Brandon's head. Brandon exploded from the rubble into the air looking around but unable to find Jarkus much to his great frustration and annoyance. "I told you I took your ship, I told you I can read minds, I even told you the truth of your little girlfriend. How much longer will you doubt me my friend?" Brandon clenched his fists tightly.

"Show yourself!" Brandon spoke in his mind.

"I will in time, our game is just getting started. In the meantime you have so much to think about. I can feel your mind clouded with anger and paranoia" Jarkus told Brandon telepathically.

"Where is my ship?" Brandon demanded.

"I already rewarded you with your forgotten memories as payment for a good game" Jarkus answered. "Right now lets see who is really on your side in your life" Jarkus laughs before going silent. Brandon just stood there floating in the sky soaked from the shaking ever so intently with anger, hatred, and unspeakable rage.
