"Alright. here we go!" Kevin exclaimed as he concentrated on the darkness gem." Suddenly, Kevin felt like he was being ripped to a billion pieces. Then, he felt like he was being painfully stitched back together. He stumbled in pain and dropped to the ground. "Aughhh." He managed to choke out.
"Where…..are we?" Zach asked. He let out a groan. "I can't see anything."
"Hold on." Kevin said, and lit up a small fire on his finger. But it did nothing. 'It must be the Gem.' Kevin thought, and concentrated all of his energy on the small fire. Even then, did the fire barely illuminate the room. They were in a small room, with no lighting inside. In the center of the room, was a gem that looked similar to it's brethren, but was pitch black.
"Alright Zach, you're up." Zach nodded and took out a iron ball. "This should replace the weight of the gem in case of traps…" He stopped to see Kevin's face. "Hey, you never know when you'll need one of these. My father told me I should always steal safe." Zach carefully, switched the gem with the iron ball. As soon as Zach pocketed it, Kevin's fire lighted up like a firework show on his finger. Kevin was instantly blinded.
"Turn the light down!" Kevin heard Zach say, and lowered the fire's intensity. An alarm rang. "It must have been light sensitive." He heard Zach said. "They must have knew the light had to be really bright for them to be able to see. And when the gem was removed….
"The room lights up." Kevin realized. "Quickly, grab on to me!" He focused on the amulet, commanding it to teleport them to his friends, but all that the amulet did was spark and fizzle. "Great." Zach said. "Now what?" Kevin began to panic. 'This is irrational.' One side of him thought. 'You've defeated Nether! Escaping a bank can't be that hard!'
'But fighting hordes were never our thing! What about the zombies in Alpha?" The other side of his mind argued.
The latter argument seemed more reasonable. Kevin had limits.
But limits were to be broken. And Kevin literally used limit breakers before. Without him noticing, Infurnace appeared in Kevin's hand. "Perhaps you are worthy to wield Infurnace." Nether had said to him.
"Now, We break out."
Kevin Launched a column of fire that was stronger than usual. It burned down the room's door. He ran forwards, and stabbed a guard that was charging towards him. Kevin immediately felt sick. Kevin killed before, but never directly. He never was directly responsible for a man's death. But Kevin managed to quell the feeling of guilt. He would review the morality of killing another time.
Zach drew his sword back-hand, and performed a move that he saw William use before. Lethality, He recalled. But only now did it occur to Kevin that William could have been the one to teach Zach.
"Zach, come on! The stairs are over here!" Kevin yelled. He sliced the air, launching a blade of fire. Guards scrambled to dodge the attack, and Kevin took the opportunity to run past them.
Kevin thought they were having trouble. Boy, was he wrong.
The main floor of the bank of absolute mayhem. Guards were pushing a line, but were being tooken down by Kevin's friends. Alex was gunning guards down, Pausing for a moment to reload. Kate was focused on not letting any of the enemy's projectiles hit them. every time an arrow came near, it was deflected by the wind. Jake was shooting arrows himself, but it wasn't doing much to the armoured guards.
Kevin realized too late taking in all the chaos, that there were guards behind him.
Sharp pain coursed through his leg, as an arrow lodged itself in Kevin's flesh. He retaliated, by whipping around and shooting a fireball that easily melted through his armor. Then, Kevin was shot again in the chest, and the pain was too much for him. He felt himself stumble, then everything faded into nothingness.
During this time of unconsciousness, possibly death, Kevin had a vision/dream.
He was in a battlefield. A port?" where red armoured soldiers fought a small group of warriors. These warriors obviously had no dress code, as they had varying outfits, including one shirtless axe-man he was next to. Kevin held his hand back hand, and they jumped at a dragon-thingie with a soldier riding on it. The axe-man struck the creature, while Kevin slashed backhanded and knocked off the rider. Whoever Kevin was, he fought a lot like Zach….
'William?' Kevin thought in his mind. Then, he saw a young boy with a spear and oddly enough, a pot on his head, being cornered by a general. He could tell by the fancier and better looking armour. Kevin rushed to try to protect him, but it was too late.
Kevin was now a invisible spectator in the sky. He saw William, Cut down ships with a single strike. He seemed to be on a killing rampage, as he slew even his own soldiers. He almost cut down a blue-haired ally, when a White-haired man in a coat cast some sort of spell on him, causing William to crumple.
"Hey! You dead yet?" 'That isn't part of the dream…"
"Well, well, well. Look who gave us a scare."
Author's note. That was the longest chapter I've done on this story. Expect chapters of this length on a faster pace because SUMMER VACATION BABAY! YEAH!
