A World Embroiled in Chaos

Chapter Forty: No, this is not a Dark Chapter

A/N: I'm back… and not in a very good mood. Because of this turn of events, I'm not making a dark chapter. Blame it on those fucking fundraisers that the bastard schools do to make your life even worse, because they have no money. I say screw them. Anyways…

DISCLAIMER: Refer to chapter one's disclaimer, and grab a machine gun or something, and find a target to release your anger on.

Back to the Tyler and Yirek scenario…

Tyler transformed into his Samus form, while Yirek turned into his dark warlock (Zelda) form. "Ok… you know the rules… let's begin!" Yirek said. "Got it!" Tyler replied, running forward. He thrust his metal arm at Yirek, who teleported out of the way just in time using Faeroe's Wind. Yirek then appeared behind Tyler, blasted him in the back with lightning. Tyler was sent flying forward, and landed face first on the ground.

"Is that all?" Yirek asked. Tyler clenched his teeth, and ran forward. "Eat this!" He yelled, firing a large charged-up shot at Yirek. Yirek formed a powerful wave of his own energy to combat Tyler's. The two blasts cancelled each other out. When the smoke cleared, a missile had collided with Yirek's face. "Not bad." He stated, seeming to have sustained minimal damage.

Yirek sighed, and focused. "Din's Fire!" He yelled, shooting out a fireball much larger than the normal one is. Tyler curled up and rolled out of the blast radius. "Taste missiles!" Tyler yelled, shooting out a large barrage of missiles. There were several explosions, and then the smoke cleared. A blue light had surrounded Yirek. "Naryu's love… it works well." Yirek smirked.

It was then, in what seemed like the blink of an eye, Tyler had appeared in front of Yirek, and kicked the barrier, but to no effect. "Try as you will, but there aren't many who can shatter this." Yirek stated. Tyler punched it with his arm. Suddenly, the barrier showed signs of weakness. "What? How?" Yirek asked. Without saying a word of reply, Tyler blasted open the barrier with one final charged-up shot. The barrier shattered like glass, cutting up Yirek in various places, making him a bloody mess. Tyler was panting. His armor was showing dents in various places, but he still seemed fine. Yirek was panting heavily and dripping with blood. "Heh… I didn't want to use this… but… Legendary Spell: Aureola Shower!" Yirek yelled, thrusting his hands upward. (…I kind of own that spell, but it's like an upgraded version of Fire Emblem's Aureola… so they have credit, too).

The sky darkened, and a very large beam of light fell down from the sky, and onto Tyler. Tyler braced for the impact, but it never came. The light surrounding him seemed gentle. However, the gentle light thinned out into a golden laser. The laser did no harm either, but, soon, two more appeared… making three… then five… and finally, seven. "It's over!" Yirek yelled. A gigantic star of light traveled down the first laser, and into the direction of Tyler. "Oh shit…" He muttered, and began to run away. However, wherever he ran, the lasers still pinpointed him, and the star of light descended faster toward him than he ran. The next thing he knew, stars of light were traveling toward him on all seven lasers of light.

"FUCK!" Tyler yelled, rolling to the side on the last second, the first star of light missing him, and creating a large and bright explosion behind him. He narrowly dodged the second one, too. However, the third one found its mark, and pushed him to the ground. It was then that the other four stars connected, knocking Tyler out of his transformation, and into a near-death state. "Looks like I win." Yirek sighed, using his powers to patch up Tyler's wounds, and reverting back to his human form.

"So… now what?" Tyler asked. "We drop you off at the next dock, and you guys never bother me again." Yirek stated. "…I guess it's no use trying to convince you further. A deal's a deal…" Tyler sighed. The next thing you know, the mainland came into view. However, the sight shocked everyone. There was supposed to be a nice, bustling, costal town, with a clean beach. However, all that greeted them was the charred-black rubble of the city under a charcoal black sky. "What the hell?" Yirek asked. "…You see? This is the work of Kirth right here. If you don't join us, the town that you build… will end up like this…" Tyler stated, as the ship docked, and everyone jumped onto the scorched land. Many dead corpses littered the ground. Some beheaded. Some cut clean in half. Some just plain obliterated. Some with limbs and body organs scattered everywhere. Some were simply a bloody mess. However, looks of horror were on all the faces of the dead townspeople.

Yirek found a piece of paper in the hands of one of the corpses. It seemed to be in the hand awkwardly, so someone must have placed it there. Yirek removed the paper from the corpse's hand, and read it.

'The Punishment for Betrayal is death.'

Yirek clenched his teeth. "I've changed my mind. I'm coming with you." He stated.

Coming up: You can be assured it'll be a dark chapter. Expect it tomorrow.

Until Next Chapter,
