Control

Byrnes, eyes glowing and Shine Reaver in hand, stared at the evil figure of Slade. Byrnes walked forward towards his sister as Slade backed off.

"Terra come here!" Byrnes said with a great urgency in his voice as his hand was reached out to grab her own.

Terra got to her feet and ran to her brother, grabbing his hand as he pulled her off to the side.

"What are you going to do?" She asked as her brother stepped towards Slade again.

"I'm going to kill him Terra, for everything he's done to us." He said simply, no emotion in the sentence at all.

"Oh, I don't think so." Slade said like he had just unveiled the greatest weapon known to man.

"You wont be touching me Byrnes." Slade said overconfidently

"We'll see!" Byrnes said as he charged Slade, preparing to attack him with the Shine Reaver.

Just before he got within striking distance, Byrnes stumbled and fell to the ground. He had the vision in his mind again. The red eyes setting were his mind on fire. This time he didn't just see one, two, or three sets of eyes. He saw many hundreds, thousands of eyes. He was flinching on the ground, unable to move, Unable to breath.

"You have no power against me." Slade said as he stepped up to Byrnes. "You can't even move!" Slade said, as he kicked Byrnes in the ribs.

Byrnes's head shot up as bursts of wind shot out at Slade. But they missed. Like he purposely avoided Slade. But he didn't.

"What do you want?" Byrnes said in disbelief as his attack missed.

"You are my new apprentice Byrnes." Slade said now, mocking the disabled Byrnes.

"Why do you want me?" Byrnes shot back angrily

"You're powerful Byrnes, and you have control over your powers, unlike your sister." Slade said as he shot an evil look at Terra, standing far away from him. "You have the mind of a killer Byrnes. Well the demons have the minds of killers. Since they have inhabited your mind since you were a child!" Slade said as he stood over Byrnes.

"They're not a part of me Slade. I'm not like that. I'm not like you. I will never be your apprentice, and you can't control me!" Byrnes screamed as the wind violently encircled them.

"Terra, run away!" Byrnes screamed to his frightened sister. "Get out of here before you get hurt!" He said as the ground was shaking at the rage of the wind.

Terra started to run away slowly, looking back at her brother. She hadn't ran more than 30 feet when a dream creature swooped down from out of the sky and picked her up, like a falcon to a fish in the water.

"Terra!" Byrnes screamed, seeing his sister being taken by a dream creature.

"You can't stop them Byrnes. They never die. They'll just keep coming back and coming back." Slade said evilly.

"I'll get rid of them...somehow." Byrnes said, still lying on the ground under Slade's control.

"No you won't." Slade said. "They are my creatures. I command them to haunt you. To disable you. You can't destroy them. You're under their power. And they're under my power. And you can never escape apprentice." Slade said.

"I'm not your apprentice." Byrnes said as he forced himself up to his hands and knees.

The eyes kept on burning him. He was dizzy. He couldn't see what was around him. He saw through it. He could see hundreds of thousands of dream creatures flooding the sky, blocking out the sun. He saw his sister in their clutches. Helpless.

"Byrnes!" Terra screamed as she tried to fight her way out of the creatures grasp.

The eyes started to appear in her thoughts. They weakened her.

"Don't let them do this to you Terra!" Byrnes said through his own pain. "Fight it! You still have your powers Terra, they can't contain you!" Byrnes shouted as the pain forced him to the ground once again.

"Shut up fool!" Slade said. "You only speak when I command you!" Slade said again as he started kicking Byrnes relentlessly.

"Byrnes..." Terra said softly as a tear ran down her cheek.

The tear dropped into her hand as she formed it into a fist.

"You can't do this to me!" Terra screamed as a yellow aura ignited around her.

A huge boulder came out of nowhere plowing through the dream creatures that held her. She dropped, but another boulder rose under her feet as she flew down to her brother.

"Slade!" Terra screamed at her former master, kicking the unconscious and bloody Byrnes as she flew down to confront him.

Byrnes was unconscious now, as the burning eyes of the creatures weighed down upon his body. He had been beaten relentlessly. Many of his ribs were now broken. He clearly had internal bleeding, as he was bleeding from his mouth. But couldn't tell. He couldn't see anything except Slade in his mind. Byrnes had strings attached to him and Slade was controlling him like a puppet.

"Rise." He heard Slade say, as he rose to his feet, not knowing if this was dream or reality.

It was reality as Byrnes rose to his feet, unconscious and under Slade's control. You don't have a conscience now, you don't even have a mind!" Slade said as he now had complete control over Byrnes's body.

"What's going on?" Byrnes though to himself as he was lifted to his feet by the strings. He was dizzy, not knowing where he was or what he was doing.

Terra soared down to the ground on the boulder as she approached Slade and Byrnes, now on his feet.

"Let's get him once and for all Byrnes!" Terra said as she now had control of her powers.

"Poor, stupid Terra." Slade said snickering. "It's not you two who will be getting me. It is him who will be getting you!" Slade said as he commanded Byrnes to attack.

Byrnes heard the command as his arm was forced in front of him as the string was pulled up. The Shine Reaver lit up in his hand as he pointed it into the darkness in his mind.

In reality, Byrnes had the Shine Reaver drawn and pointed in Terra's direction, as he was ready to attack. His eyes were empty. He had no pupils, as he couldn't see. But his eyes weren't glowing. They were blank.

"Byrnes?" Terra said as she slowly stepped towards her brother, hand reaching out to him.

"Die." Were the words that came out of Byrnes's mouth. But not just in his voice. In Slade's voice as well as he was speaking through Byrnes.

There was no sun, blocked out by the dream creatures. Slade stood in the distance; in a trance now, as Byrnes stepped forward towards his frightened sister with a look of death upon his cold face.
