Vamps was losing consciousness fast, but he knew that he had to keep pressing. He saw that he still had a few hours to go and the planet was still very far away. He began sweating and noticed that Ben was bleeding even more from his wounds.
"Drat!" Vamps said angrily, now using his telekinesis to pull Ben to his chest as he tried to stop the bleeding from his head wound. Vamps knew that if Ben didn't find help soon, he wouldn't make it. Vamps then closed his eyes and focused. Since he was in the same atmosphere of the planet, he was going to try and reach out to Whampire.
"Whampire…can you hear me?" Vamps said telepathically.
Meanwhile, Whampire was watching the stars from his balcony when he heard Vamps in his mind. Tears of joy sprung to his eyes because he had been trying to reach Vamps for months, but there was no response.
"VAMPS! VAMPS YES I HEAR YOU! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Whampire said back, now looking frantically at the sky.
"Be calm my brother. I have missed you too. But we have an issue. I have a human with me and he needs our help. He helped me escape Kusto." Vamps said, now sweating more because his energy was fading.
"KUSTO?! That traitor! I was told he was sent to bring you back here!" Whampire replied.
"You must meet me at these coordinates and fast! But do not be suspicious. Lord Transyl had something to do with Kusto's actions and I mean to get to the bottom of it!" Vamps said. "And hurry! The human is dying as we speak!"
"You keep mentioning the human Vamps. Could it be you have changed towards them?" Whampire asked, now grabbing his items and heading out, but keeping the bond communication going.
"No. I am simply saving his life because he helped me fight Kusto." Vamps panted out telepathically.
"Vamps…your heartbeat is slowing down. What is going on?!" Whampire said, now running outside and trying to sneakily get past a few guards and into the space-ship yard.
"I-I am low on power Whampire. I have been powering this ship for almost 8 hours and…"
"8 hours?! Vamps you could die if you go for even another minute!" Whampire screamed in horror, now terribly concerned. A Vladat had power, but they also had limits and Vamps was beyond his limit. Vamps was losing consciousness too, but he had to make it.
"Whampire…hurry…" and with those words, the bond ended. Whampire's eyes widened in horror. He then jumped into the ship and took off at light speed!
30 minutes later…
Whampire put the ship into hyper-speed and saw a broken space pod right on the edge of a dead star. Whampire quickly pulled his ship alongside it and saw Vamps weakly standing and holding Ben to his chest to stop the bleeding. Once Vamps saw Whampire, he grinned weakly and the green glow disappeared from the ship, indicating that Vamps' telekinesis stopped.
"Whampire…you're here." Vamps said lowly, now wrapping his arms around Whampire and passing Ben to him. "Take him…quickly. His name is Ben."
"Vamps come on…get in!" Whampire said, now placing Ben down and helping his brother. But the minute Vamps almost got in, they heard a roar behind them. They turned and saw Kusto flying their way and fast! Vamps' eyes narrowed and he pushed Whampire in the pod quickly.
"Get Ben to our planet! Now! I will hold off Kusto!" Vamps said.
"No! You will die Vamps! I can't lose you again!" Whampire pleaded.
"Whampire, be strong for me. Ben is in this condition because he tried to save me…now I have to save his life," Vamps said, now gently pressing his forehead against Whampire's. "If I do not return Whampire…long, live the king…" Vamps said, planting a brotherly kiss on his forehead and then quickly flying back towards Kusto.
"YOU?! I'LL KILL YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS!" Kusto roared, now swinging at Vamps.
"Come and fight monster!" Vamps called back, now fighting him with literally the little power he had left.
"Vamps!" Whampire called out helplessly. Both brothers locked eyes for a brief moment and Vamps pointed in the direction of their planet.
"Go!" Vamps yelled, now barely dodging a hit from Kusto.
Whampire slammed his fist hard against the deck of the space pod and headed back to their planet. Whampire felt his heart drop and he began crying when he felt the brother bond weakening and weakening.
"He's going to die if he doesn't get out of there," Whampire said, now approaching the planet at hyper speed.
Once back on the planet, Whampire took Ben inside and immediately began bandaging him up and having the castle physician see to him.
"Will the human make it?" Whampire asked, staring at Ben.
"I believe so. Whoever was taking care of him before stopped the bleeding; it saved him for sure," the physician said. Whampire nodded and walked over to the window to try the brotherly bond again. But his eyes widened in horror and terror. There was not only no response, but the bond was non-existent. When the bond was in that state, it meant only one thing…
"Vamps…no," Whampire said in horror, now running out and staring hard at the sky. He tried the bond again, but no response. Whampire then let out a pained cry and screamed as loud as he could. Vamps was gone.
