Chapter six:
Vav hears something come from outside so he goes to a window placing his hands on the bottom part of the window sill as he peers outside. "Oh no." He gasps seeing the army lower their hands then follow the Rose King and the Mad King as they head on out to take the city by storm. "We have to get outside Mogar!" He says spinning around to the other.
"Through there." Mogar points to the window. "Mogar break."
"No. bloody hell no." Vav shakes his head. "Trust me that is not a good idea. The glass will cut us and hurt us. We need to find another way out." He dashes on ahead and Mogar quickly follows.
The two race through the halls searching for a way out until they spot a door up ahead. They head towards it and burst through skidding to a stop panting. They are outside in what is obviously the front of the place. They catch their breaths, well mainly Vav catches his breath, then the two begin heading on their way out to do what they must. All around them there is people fighting against goons and Vav winces knowing that they have to leave the people to go after the real threats.
Vav feels like the people deserve an explanation but can't as he worries the enemy will then stop him. He shakes his head then speaks to someone nearby. "Spread the news. We need you to distract them. Me and Mogar are going after the leaders. Without their leaders the goons will be lost. It's our best chance at winning."
"Alright." The civilian nods then dashes away.
Mogar and Vav begin moving again as Vav leads them to head to the cities legislation building.
Vav is sure that the one he used to know as X-ray will head there to take over the city. "Just how far does this plan of yours go?" He asks himself quietly. He is asking himself a few questions he wishes he could ask his once best friend. "Will taking over the city be enough for you or will you crave for more?" He wonders to himself slightly out loud as they continue to try to hurry to stop their enemies.
Two goons jump out in front of them making them skid to a stop. The two are smirking so widely it's almost hideous.
Mogar dashes forward grabbing his sword and slashes the goons knocking them away.
The goons land on their backs with a slash on their torsos though Vav doubts it'll be fetal.
Not wanting to take chances Vav takes the lead with Mogar following as they hurry along their way... However... They have to skid to a stop again as six goons leap out in front of them letting the civilians that they had been going against run away as their focus shifted. Vav glances up and sees the top edge of a building getting an idea. He turns to Mogar. "Mogar. We need to go up." He says getting the other to look to him.
Mogar nods and scoops Vav up in one arm only to leap from building to building getting them to one of the tall buildings roof.
Vav finds his heart racing and his face heating up in a blush being so close to the other. He is allowed to stand on his own once they are safely on the roof. "Thanks Mogar." He says pushing his blush down.
Mogar nods in response.
Vav heads to the edge of the roof that he believes is in the direction that their destination is. He looks out seeing the civilians fighting for their lives to remain free. He frowns in worry then looks to the edge of the city before turning around to look to Mogar. "Mogar..." He moves over to the other. "In case something happens. There's something I want you to know."
Mogar slightly tilts his head.
Vav decides to just go for it and moves closer sealing his lips over Mogars closing his eyes. He gently kisses him for a moment then pulls away opening his eyes. "I love you Mogar."
Mogar smiles then pulls Vav close by wrapping his arms around him. He nuzzles the other lovingly. "Mogar love Vav."
Vav smiles and nuzzles the other back happy to know that his feelings are accepted. "If we make it out alive. We are definitely going to date."
"Mate? Vav and Mogar are mates?" Mogar asks.
Vav smiles a little more. "Yeah. We are."
Mogar is also pleased to hear this.
After a moment of embracing they pull apart.
"We have to hurry." Vav says glad to get that off of his chest and that the other feels the same.
Mogar crouches after putting his sword away. "Vav on." He says.
Vav rushes around the other understanding what he means and climbs onto the others back. He lets his arms be gently around the others neck as his thighs are against Mogars hips.
Mogar stands with his hands on the bottom of Vavs thighs. He begins runnng towards the edge of the building then jumps onto the next one only to continue. He keeps jumping from building to building as Vav watches out for any sign of the three they are looking for on the ground.
"There!" Vav says spotting the two.
Mogar stops on a roof and looks down.
The Mad King and the Rose King are approaching the legislation building. They stop walking standing on the road in front of it as the mayor comes down the steps.
"What is the meaning of this!?" The mayor questions.
The Rose King smiles but before he can say a single word Mogar and Vav land between him and the mayor.
Mogar lets Vav off of his back quickly then the two stand facing the direction they landed on which is facing the Rose King and the Mad King.
Vav slightly glances back. "Just stay back mayor." He turns back to the Rose King. "We got this."
"So Mogar decided to free you before coming after us huh?" The Rose King questions placing a hand on his hip. "Well then." He turns to the Mad King. "You bring extra ammo?" He asks.
The Mad King grins widely and pulls out the gun aiming it the two heroes. "Of course I did." He fires at Vav who jumps out of the way with Mogar jumping in the opposite direction.
The round metal ball shot expands into a group of smaller balls with some kind of purplish red webbing in the middle. It wraps around a decorative column that is by the legislation building. It visibly shocks the column before just sitting there.
"Be careful Mogar!" Vav calls after a gasp when he sees what happened to the column that still is standing. "Mayor! Get back inside! It'll be safer there!"
The mayor is quickly urged back inside of the legislation building by the two guards that came with him.
Mogar dashes for the Mad King with his sword and begins swinging at him while the other dodges. He makes attempts to land a hit while also keeping the other from being able to shoot the gun.
Vav moves closer to the Rose King who gets ready to fight. "X-ray."
"Address me properly." The Rose King demands. "I am the Rose King!"
Vav blinks in worry and slight fear. "Please! Stop this! What happened to you!? This isn't you!"
"It's the real me Vav." The Rose King says smoothly. "What you're facing is the me under that disguise and mask." He moves a few steps closer with his arms below his elbows, that are bent, outstretched. "How else did you expect me to gather data and pull the strings without being revealed?" He lowers his arms to his sides. "I did what I had to."
"But you were my friend! The friend who wanted to be a hero along with me!" Vav protests.
"All an act Vav." The Rose King raises a hand to his glasses and shoots a beam at Vav.
Vav jumps back as he is almost hit in the leg. "Just tell me why. Why are you doing this? Why did you decide to become a villain? Please be honest with me." He pleads.
"Because it is who I am." The Rose King responds. "I've been planning since I was young and when no one else except those that joined would know I began setting my plan into motion."
"No! It can't be! You've been tricked or brainwashed! I know the real X-ray. The person you were meant to be all along! And it isn't this!" Vav counters. "Please. Come back to me my friend."
"I told you it was an act!" The Rose King snaps. "That persona I put forth to keep your trust is nothing more than a web of lies. I was only acting like I was good when I was evil the entire time. Remember when I told you I would win in the end? Well this is what I was talking about. Not the game we were playing at the time." He smirks. "And you didn't even notice."
"Because I trusted you! You were my friend! And I know that the friend that I knew is still in there somewhere!" Vav counters. "Please give me my friend back! We can forget all about this!"
Mogar jumps over to be by Vav while the Mad King ends up closer to the Rose King.
"No! I've waited for so long to do this and I won't let a minor change of plan like you escaping stop my opportunity! It was your fault that you didn't notice what I was really doing and not noticing what my true nature is as well as has been all of these years." The Rose King snaps his fingers at the Mad king only to point to the two heroes only moving his hand and fingers to point. He lowers his hand to his side when the other moves.
The Mad King moves a little forward and aims the weapon in the heroes direction. He is smirking widely and gets ready to fire as the other two get ready to dodge.
"Make sure to get them both one way or another." The Rose King commands. "I will help as needed."
"Of course." The Mad King shoots but the two move out of the way just in time.
"I'm sorry." Vav apologizes. "But if you won't listen to reason then I'll have to defeat you." His tone sounds sad and hurt while his eyes water a little.
The Rose King laughs at this. "I'd like to see you try!"
Vav charges towards him.
