Chapter 33: Peace and Forgiveness
Right now, as Green sat in the right seat of Ketongu's vehicular interior, he had noticed himself becoming concerningly worried about how this forthcoming battle was going to turn out. True, the Toabots and Toa Voya were now gonna fight these Makutacons together, but one of the many questions that seemed to keep ringing in his head was: Was that really going to be enough? From what Billy had told him in a com-message, the Toa couldn't do ANYTHING to these guys. Least nothing that would actually HURT them.
And the Toabots? Well, THAT situation was a little worse. Paradox had already killed one Makutacon, and that left at least nine more for everyone else, and seeing as the Toabots were really the only ones who could actually kill them, in all senses of truth, this was all five Toabots and eleven distractions against nines Makutacons of whom they could only HOPE to defeat. And if all of that didn't worry him enough, then there was at least one other mind bogling question that did: Which ones of them would make it out alive in the end, and who would die?
All of this bothered Green so much that he almost forgot that Angela was still sitting on him. Not only that, but Green was only able to snap out of his worrisome state as he saw Angela turn to him then with eyes of kind reassurance. Then his worry returned as he continued to stare at her. What if SHE got hurt in the middle of this battle? What if SHE was the one who took a bullet in the chest rather than any of the Makutacons? He sincerely hoped that this would NEVER be the case as he then made a quick prayer, asking The Lord to give Angela a great amount of protection in this battlefield. Her AND Golden.
As Green had then opened his eyes, he noticed that Angela's mask had suddenly gotten a little closer to his. Green almost instantly blushed and Angela just smiled at him, as if it was a promise that everything was going to be OK in the end. That the Toabots were going to win this battle and all of the other battles that they would dare to fight. But even now, Green wasn't so sure about all of that and thought again of how bad things would be for him if she was one of the casualties. And if she was such without knowing how he had always felt for her.
But just as Green was about to finally tell her those three words that terrified him from the very day he had first seen her, he and Angela both jumped to the sound of a horn honking. That horn being Ketongu's. Green would've made some form of protest if he hadn't then looked past Angela's left side, seeing the other Toabots and Ops approaching them on the road. Green actually allowed himself to smile as he was in the current realization that for at least right now, everyone was back together.
"Look Green, its the other Toabots"!, Golden screamed in joy.
Green smiled, replying: "I know, I see them".
Just then, a tune played on ketongus radio and Green rolled his eyes while Angela just laughed.
All for one, We fight together
Knock knock, you about to get shell shocked
All for one we ride together
Knock knock, you about to get shell shocked
All for one, We fight together
Knock knock, you about to get shell shocked
This family can bear any weather
Knock knock you about to get-
"All right Key"., Armor replied half-laughing on the other side of the com. "We know you're exited".
"Darn right I am"., Ketongu replied. "Least now, we get to win this fight in unity".
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Paradox grinned to himself upon hearing that tune. Despite how... terribly confusing the movie had been for him, he did have to admit that the song fit their situation in a funny manner of speaking. Least it had confirmed to him that he was still the same Ketongu who was willing to lighten the mood in whatever funny way he could. But his grin changed to a look of seriousness as he saw just far behind them, were eight other vehicles, being led by a Xtronion ship with those familiar spiked wings.
That was most definitely Killer. And all of those other vehicles behind him, were the other Makutacons. Knowing that now was the time, he quickly turned himself around, motioning with one of his moveable wings for the other Toabots to follow him. For just earlier, he had passed an old and abandoned neighborhood. If there was any chance they could make this fight take place somewhere without any casualties of any innocent people, that was more than likely the place to do it.
"Sir, the Makutacons are on our tails"., Athena told him through her mic. "I'm hoping you've got somewhere for us to hash this thing out"?
"I'm leading everyone to an old and abandoned neighborhood".,Paradox told them. "If we can bring the fight there instead of anywhere else, we can reduce the risk of any innocent people falling into harms way".
"Wait, doesn't that normally mean it could be contagious of something"?, Rack asked them through his link in the com.
"Nah"., Ketongu told them. "I did a scan of the area just before we passed it". "It's just kinda old...kind of like the rest of us"., Ketongu joked.
Paradox let out a short chuckle, then asking him: "Do you still have the Sphere"?
"In the trunk"., Ketongu told him.
"Alright then, Green, I'll need you to get a hold of it and make sure a few of the other Toa are there to protect you"., Paradox told him.
Another link came into the mic and Edwards voice responded: "As much as I still don't really trust this war as being anything good at all, or the rest of you, I'll go ahead and volunteer to guard the buggar".
Maze spoke up: "Pow and I will assist him, at least that'll increase their chances of surviving this thing".
"Alright then, just remember to keep the Sphere AND the matoran from them at all costs"., Paradox told them. "We can not let them get their hands on it". "Nor can we allow them to take hostages to use against us". "That is why along with the Sphere, I want the Matoran as far away from this conflict as possible". "And Edward, thank you for being the first to volunteer".
A short silence passed before everyone then heard Edward say: "You see, this is all I really wanted every time I did something". "And did I get it"? "Heck, nur"!
A short moment of laughter passed then, stopping once they all saw an old, wooden neighborhood come into view just on the right side of the road. Then came a silence of a bit of worry. Of course they knew they were going to be heading into a desolate location to fight this battle out, little had they known that this neighborhood looked so old any one of the wooden buildings might have collapsed on them if they made a wrong move. But, better us than any civilians I guess., Armor thought as they had all then pulled into a long street, old wooden buildings on either side, under a clouded sky.
As the four vehicles then braked and opened their doors, allowing everyone to exit, Green took no second's hesitation in rushing to Ketongu's trunk once Angela had hopped off of him. Noticing the hurry Green was in, Ketongu quickly opened the trunk and allowed Green to grab the Sphere, which surprisingly due to it's size was a lot lighter than it's size would suggest. And as soon as that was finished, all five Toabots immediately reverted to Toa mode, already having let out their passengers as well.
Paradox turned quickly back in the direction of the open road of which they had entered from, seeing nothing coming. At least not yet. But Paradox wasn't about to take any chances. He had been fighting this wretched war long enough to know that the Makutacons were more than smart enough to notice them pull in here. And here, that only led to one conclusion as he and the other five Toabots took a stance together in front of the Toa Voya and three matoran: The Makutacons would still be here looking for the Sphere. And at this point, they were going to be here any minute.
Paradox turned to the others just behind them then, ordering: "I'd prefer it if you all got out of here now, but if you wish to fight with us now, there will be no turning back".
But as Edward immediately motioned for Green, Angela, Golden, Pow and Maze to follow him into a nearby alley, Billy stepped forward, grinning up at his father in law and responding: "You already know my vote". "And an army of Makutacons isn't gonna change a thing".
Paradox grinned back, at least happy to know that he had a son in law who cared this much for the ones he now considered family.
Outilisa just gave him a nod and said: "Hey, if this idiot is willing to risk his life, then so am I".
Billy laughed, giving his wife a quick kiss to the cheek.
Gahu Ops and Robert all remained silent, at the same time making it remain evident that they were staying as well, regardless of what should happen from this moment on. And to be honest, Paradox couldn't have chosen a better army on this earth for was about to happen right here and now. They had started somewhat as enemies, and here they were now, about to fight against the true threat of the hour. Then turning to the sound of multiple engines and watching as the Makutacons pulled and flew and hovered in with a straight face, already mentally prepared to take them all on, one on nine if it meant defending them from their past sins.
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Back in the alley, Edward had decided to completely ignore Paradox's orders and literally hide IN the alleyway, while as everyone simply stayed with him as to actually stick together at the moment. No chances they were going to abandon each other anytime soon, not with the battle that was probably about to tear this entire neighborhood into pieces. But as Pow actually decided to take a peek out of the other side of said alley, he quickly came to the realization that this wasn't an old neighborhood. It was it fact, an old TOWN. And a rather large one too.
Pow let out a loud sigh, being unable to imagine how many of these buildings were going to be gone by the end of today. And also praying that as they ran through here to avoid the soon to be gunfire, that none of these buildings would come crashing down on THEM. More than likely Maze, being the complete nerd that he was on these sorts of things, was at least a hundred times more worried than Pow was on that matter.
But Green, while still keeping a tight grip on the Sphere, was currently peeking his head out of the way they had just entered, watching as the Makutacons all braked a distance away from the toabots and reverted to their Toa forms, all sharing an intense glare towards the Toabots and the friends that stood right beside them in a courageous stance. And as of right now, Green was intensely worried for them, wondering if he was ever going to see ANY of them after this, considering their current odds.
Edward immediately looked over to Green, noticing the look on his face and quickly approaching him, then leaning down to his ear and asking: "Considering the state you're obviously in right now, are you still sure YOU should be the one protecting that thing"?
"Yep"., Green immediately responded.
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Each Toabot, Toa and Autobot watched each Makutacon very closely, eying their hands and weapons as Paradox took a few steps closer towards them, Killer doing the same as he stepped away from his Makutacons. After said few steps, both just stopped, believing themselves to be at a safe talking distance, case the other had any motives to attack. And in knowing his brother the way that he did, Paradox knew that Killer was just ITCHING for a fight.
And indeed Killer was as he looked into his brothers eyes and resisted the urge to take out the axe that hung on his back and slice him to pieces. But regardless of how much he wanted to kill Paradox and just get this over with, he knew that there was surely a chance or two to get Paradox to reconsider fighting them. As less fun as this would be without him, it would only make everything easier on himself and all the other Makutacons who stood behind him.
"My most impolite greetings brother"., Killer greeted, earning a bit of laughter from the Makutacons.
"And my most KIND greetings to you brother"., Paradox returned, unwilling to start a fight if Killer was willing to negotiate.
Of course Killer didn't, Paradox knew this fact almost as well as he knew his own birth date. But regardless, Paradox had always been the brother who was more polite and respecting than the rest of his siblings. And it absolutely INFURIATED Killer as he quickly remembered this as well, then realizing that the war over this righteous anger wasn't going to get started anytime soon by using any insults to tick him off. Nine times out of ten, those attempts always failed.
Instead, Killer just kept his straight face and say: "I take it from the nearby signal that you have the sphere right HERE, Yes"?
"Indeed it is Killer"., Paradox told him. "In our possession AND our protection should you choose to try and take it for your unjust cause".
A few of the Toabots grinned, enjoying right now the fact that their leader was always in fact and almost never in opinion about these kinds of things. Robert and Ops were both amazed at the courage Paradox had just displayed in front of this guy, a Makutacon who looked like he could eat him thirty times over for breakfast. And surely Killer knew how to fight against this guy if all he ever used against him was an axe and a spiked shield/claw.
Each Makutacon just glared at Paradox, most of them looking bored with the fact that they were still just standing here while these two hashed things out with WORDS. Good gracious!, Scorpio nearly exclaimed. Will one of you just try and stab each other, or SOMETHING?! And Killer was getting as impatient as the rest of his Makutacons, but unlike them, he knew how to direct his anger at the things actually worth taking them out on.
Then forcing a smile, Killer told Paradox: "Look Paradox, try to see this conflict from MY point of view for once in your life as I say this, OK"? "Just TRY to believe me when I say that we're just nothing like any of these bionicles, these Transformers, these monsters". "We, are stronger". We, are BETTER". And with just those two things being said, WE should be the ones who have control over this miserable earth". "Not them". "And deep down, I know you believe it too".
"I do not brother"., Paradox told him. "I believe there is no need for this war any longer".
"Than move aside so we may slaughter those false friends of yours"!
"Even now you remain blind to the truth"? "If you just took a SECOND to try and do what I am doing now, you would also see the goodness in them like I do".
"No doubt a FALSE goodness"!, Killer exclaimed. "To trick us back into the slavery we were in BEFORE we were exiled to that rotten filth"! "They're all the same Paradox, they'll betray your trust at a millions times the speed it would take them to earn it". "That is why as in fact of immediately, I'm taking that sphere and giving everyone else what they rightfully deserve".
Paradox raised both of his arm-blades and got into a battle stance then as he glared into his bothers eyes and responded: "Not if I have a say in the matter".
"Face it Paradox, you don't"., Killer responded.
Just then, the other four Toabots raised their firearms, all pointing them at Killer who just gave them a glare.
"We beg to differ"., Ketongu responded.
Then in the sum total amount of time it would take for an individual to blink, the other eight Makutacons raised THEIR firearms, pointing them at the Toabots with a series of intense glares.
"So do WE cyclops"., Killer countered, giving a bullying smirk to Ketongu before then looking back over at Paradox. "In fact, why don't I start this by killing every last one of those Bionicles in that alleyway"?
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Green widened his eyes as he heard Killer say this, but changed his look to a straight face as his gaze met a terrifying glare from Killer, whom had immediately looked over just seconds ago, causing Edward to jump and nearly run away. Pow rolled his eyes at this, knowing that Edward probably WOULD'VE if he wasn't in deep crap already or surrounded by two other Toa and two other Matoran who would more than likely be excellent witnesses should Edward try and do anything. And Pow nearly let out a storm of laughter once he saw the look on Edwards face. DANG, he looked like he was about to pee himself.
But Green payed close to zero attention to Edward hilarious reaction and instead, just gazed ahead at the glaring Makutacon leader, quietly saying: "Do what you want, but I'll die before I give YOU the Sphere".
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
Then, as Killer had seemed to take a step forward, Paradox moved swiftly in the way, pointing his left arm-blade at him as he told him: "You will NOT kill ANY of them"! "Not over this truly idiotic grudge"!
Killer turned his increasingly frightening glare towards his brother then, taking no seconds hesitation in pulling out his axe, wielding it in his left hand and easily hanging it across his shoulder. Just who did Paradox think he was? Especially NOW with an army as small and easily penetrable as this, up against another army that Easily outgunned, outnumbered and overall OUTMATCHED HIS? For a second, Killer had actually begun to wonder if his brother had gone mad.
"I will kill these rodents for whatever reason I please Paradox, and you cannot stop me"., Killer naggingly responded. "My army has more soldiers than you do, and I'm not counting your mere Toa or that Autobot who got his friends killed".
Billy quickly looked down at Ops who had a look in his eyes that seemed to scream murder, instantly becoming worried. But Ops glare disappeared when Gahu immediately placed a comforting hand on his right shoulder, and giving a calming and pleading look. Ops looked up at Gahu then, about to give protest until seeing the look on Gahu's face and immediately deciding to calm down, unwilling to act unkind to someone as respectful as Gahu was. Yeah, sometimes he asked way too many questions but none the less, he was still that one friend who was always there when no one else was.
Paradox immediately did a read over Ops's online profile, having to quickly hack through a few firewalls before then reading it over and responding: "Even now you lie to yourself Killer". "Those casualties were not his fault".
"Regardless, we are still meant to ENSLAVE them"!, Killer yelled. "And kill them for what they did to us"! "Are you REALLY too blind to SEE that"?!
"My eyes are wide awake Killer, but you are lost in the maze of your own rage and insanity"., Paradox responded. "REGARDLESS of what you say or do, I will always be there to stand against you if it means protecting them from harm".
A long silence passed between the two then as they just stared intensely into each others eyes. One with the desire for peace, the other with the desire to kill. One with an intense love for the ones who had wronged him, and the other with an intense hatred for the same people. One with the will to forgive, and the other with the anger to avenge. With both of these opponents as strong and believing in their causes as they were, it was becoming more than evident that this was NOT going to end well.
Then raising the shield/claw weapon attatched to his right arm, revealing a firearm to be just inside of it, Killer responded: "Then I will have every pleasure in killing you as well".
Then, just as blows were about to be made and a firefight was about to start, everyone heard a voice yell: "WAIT"!
All Toabots, Makutacons, Toa, Transformer and Matoran looked then in the direction of the source of this sudden exclamation. It became evident that Gahu was the one who had made this exclamation once they all saw him walk out of his group of allies and friends with a pleading look on his mask. Everyone just stared at him first in curiosity as he had started walking, and then in fear as he stepped in-between Paradox and Killer, looking into Killers eyes with a pleading look that seemed to hold no fear at all for his own life. He was silent for a while as he had kept looking up into Killers eyes, silently begging that he wouldn't start a fight.
As much as Killer was already starting to hate this Toa of Lava, he just said: "Well go on then, but be quick or my trigger finger will lose it's patience". "Go ahead, try and say something to me that you think would convince me". "Something not even my brother has brought up yet, or maybe take just a little while longer and ask yourself: If he isn't listening to anything his brother says, what makes me think he'll take anything I say seriously enough as to not lose his patience the second he hears it"?
Everyone kept wide eyes on the young Toa of Lava then, all wondering just what this guy was going to say or do next. Heck, they already thought he was crazy for walking out in the time that he did, but he was starting to look just a bit crazier with each passing second of silence. What if the second he had finally decided to say something, was the very same second Killer had decided to "lose his patience"? And that small threat alone sounded so terrifying that it actually sent shivers down their spines. Whatever Gahu was planning on telling Killer next, the Toabots and everyone on their side just hoped that it wouldn't get him killed.
But finally, Gahu responded: "Because I think we all know that there doesn't have to be any more killing". "I know that this can be hard to realize, being where you've been now, but most of us have changed now". "In morality and law". "And yes, I agree with you when you say that you're all stronger than us". Then looking over at Scorpio: "The scorpion did enough to us to prove that". Then looking back up at Killer: "But that, along with all we've already done to you, doesn't have to make us enemies anymore". "Just earlier today, Paradox actually BEGGED the Turaga for peace, and look where we all are now". "We stand together now because there IS a chance for us to live together on this planet". "All of us together as one".
Now Killer looked like he was willing to listen, the hate slowly fading away from his eyes.
"If you just find the will in your light to forgive us, like Paradox did earlier today, we won't have to go through all the pain and misery and hate, killing each other anymore". "As I'm sure you'd have for killing your own brother". "Yeah he might irritate you, but he's still your brother isn't he"?
Killer nodded.
"I know you still love him despite all of the anger you hold towards him, you wouldn't be this angry over what happened if you didn't". "So right now, while there is still a chance to live in an age of peace, let's all put down our weapons". "Because I KNOW that right now, we can all live in something you all deserve more than the rest of us do". "Peace".
Killers eyes seemed to widen then in realization as he continued to listen to this Toa of Lava. As did the eyes of the other Makutacons as they seemed to listen as well, absolutely stunned by his words. And a few of the Toa had even started to cry as they listened to what Gahu said. And it wasn't even as close to heartbreaking as the fact that Gahu had actually possessed the courage here and now to tell Killer all of this at the point that he had decided to. And it was actually WORKING!
Even Billy had started to shed a tear as he saw this. And he barely EVER cried at all. But he really couldn't hold them in right now, for in all of the times up to now, Gahu had proved himself far beyond Billy's expectations as far as a good and moral spirit was concerned. Already, he had succeeded in using this same method in cheering up a child he didn't know, and now he was going out of his own way, possibly risking his own life just to convince Killer of the truth. If that didn't already make Gahu the best of all the Toa in the group today, he wasn't sure what would.
"Trust me now when I say that PEACE, between each and every single one of us, will be a much more beautiful thing than anything this war could possibly bring"., Gahu told him. "And that Peace can be easily achieved if we cast aside our past differences and find it in our lights, sparks and liarks to forgive each other". "Which is why, I will admit now to something I've already done a long time ago: I forgive you for killing any of us if you already have, and I'll even forgive you if you kill me right here and now". "But PLEASE, open your liark and your mind to all the good it will do for us if you choose to forgive us and take this one chance to live forever in a world where we don't have to fight anymore". "Where even YOU will be forgiven for all of the sins YOU have committed if there is any, and live successfully in a world of Love, Peace, Hope and Forgiveness". Then stretching out his right hand to Killer: "It can be done". "I promise".
A long and emotional silence passed then, between Toabots, Makutacons, Transformer, Toa and Matoran, all finally being able to see as much as Gahu did now that there WAS a chance of peace, and a choice to forgive them in order to fully achieve it. Even now, Paradox let a smile conquer his face, already having a deep, proud feeling for this Toa, for having the courage to do what he did, and for having the wisdom to say what he did, and it brought tears from his eyes as this smile grew wider as the clouds seemed to remove themselves from the light of the sun, shining a light upon all of them with the warmth he and everyone here surely felt towards what Gahu was doing now. For now more than before, Paradox saw a real chance to finally end this war without needing to resort to violence.
Even Killer was silent, with a face that looked like it was about to break apart in the sad realization that had started to course through his mind. What if this young Toa was RIGHT? What if there really WAS a chance for them all to live in peace? He looked first back to the other Makutacons who had all seemed to be easily convinced by Gahu's words. Perhaps this Toa WAS right. Maybe all along, all that ever had to be done was have the courage and peace of mind for all of those who had dared to sin against his race all of those years ago.
Then, he turned back to Gahu. Looking into his green eyes and seeing nothing more than a compassionate honesty in them. Maybe it was both those and his honest words that had actually made him realize that there was a chance here to finally make things right? To finally put an end to all of the killing? Killer gave Gahu a kind smile then, exiting the Toabots and all who were allied with them. It was right there and now then, in the end to this long silence that he had decided to make what he KNEW to be the right choice.
"Liar"., Killer responded, then quickly pointing the gun in his shield at the Toa of Lava and firing three shots.
Gahu let out a loud grunt in pain as the hope suddenly disappeared and became replaced with a feeling of intense horror and sorrow from the Toabots and their friends as they saw pieces of black chest armor fly in different directions, becoming covered in Gahu's blood. The Makutacons just grinned over the joy they had of being the ones to see this in a way of which they saw what was happening. Even Paradox's gaze had changed, to a face of a horrified disbelief.
And as the third bullet had been shot off, Gahu just seemed to stand still for a moment, a few grunts escaping his mouth before he turned then to the others, revealing to them a sight that horrified them. Three large sizzling holes in his chest, all still pouring blood from the wounds. Ops felt his legs go numb as he immediately fell to his knees, too horrified to speak a single word. Outilisa let out a scream of sadness and Billy's eyes widened at the sight, as did everyone else's as the deafening silence seemed to pass by all too slow.
Even Green looked horrified. How could this happen?!, Green thought. There was a REAL FREAKING CHANCE there, and Killer just decided to murder him in cold blood?! Had his anger really lead him down a path this dark. A path so dark that he had to make an action that was causing a too good of a Toa to bleed out on the road beneath him?! Just WHY did he do that?! Even Edwards eyes widened at the sight. But regardless of how everyone felt right now, there was still a silence that created more and more pain with each passing second.
But despite the wounds, Gahu just smiled at them, saying: "Please don't mourn... for me". "I'm going to a much...better place... the home I've always wanted... to go to".
Then looking up at the sky with an even bigger smile and closing his eyes, he stood still for a few long seconds, before then collapsing to the ground with a loud metal thud. Billy instantly ran from the crowd then, not taking any thought to stop until reaching the left side of Gahu's body, dropping down next to it and lifting it up onto his lap with eyes full of horror.
"No no no"!, Billy screamed at the top of his lungs. "Stay with me stay with me"! He gently shook him. "Gahu come on, don't do this, please"!
But as Billy then checked Gahu's pulse, the horrifying realization hit him harder than a Rama-bull could, one he did NOT want to accept as the still form laid still in his arms: Gahu was dead. And even now, Gahu's form hadn't seemed to stop smiling, making Billy want this toa back with them all the more. No, please., Billy thought. I've already had this happen to me once Lord, please. Not again, please. But it was already too late. The action had already been done and Billy couldn't change it if he wanted to.
Then looking up from the sight of Billy cradling Gahu's dead form in tears, he noticed the look on Killers face, and it ANGERED him. For right now, Killer was just smiling down at Gahu's dead form. And it wasn't a kind smile either. It was a smile that told Paradox that Killer was proud of the murder he had just committed. Paradox's angry form immediately started to shake as rage immediately continued to rise within him, making him decide that no more good or innocent lives would be taken today. But he was NOT going to let this evil action go unpunished.
Then letting out a scream of rage, Paradox activated the thrusters in his wing, putting them at full thrust capacity as he immediately flew into Killer, keeping a tight grip on his body as they both flew towards one of the old buildings. Killer was actually a bit surprised that Paradox had actually decided to anything NOW as they both crashed through a brick wall, landing in a dimly lit room, just a short distance away from each other.
Killer got up first, screaming: "Kill them"! "Kill every last one of them"!
"NO"!, Paradox screamed, then running at Killer and swinging his left arm-blade at Killer.
Killer easily dodged the blade, then grabbing a tight hold of the arm and spinning himself, easily picking Paradox up off of his feet and throwing at a brick wall on his right side. Paradox's back made a hard impact with it and he fell to the ground on his knees and elbows, dust from the old bricks falling on him and temporarily clouding his eyesight. Paradox ignored the dust, immediately getting up on his feet and looking ahead of himself.
But Paradox was unprepared for the gray foot that immediately kicked Paradox hard enough in the chest to send him flying back through the wall itself, and falling towards the hard concrete road that waited below. Quickly, Paradox tried to activate his wings managing to decrease his speed. Paradox was forced to quickly spin to his right, narrowly dodging an axe swing from Killer in midair. Realizing then that he was close enough to the ground, Paradox flipped and twirled himself upright, landing on his feet in a crouched position as Killer landed just across from him with a glare.
Killer spun his axe in his fingers as he asked him: "You really think you're so clever brother, as to actually have a chance to TRICK me"? Then stopping his axe spin, and tightly gripping in an intimidating battle stance as the blade glowed in a searing red: "I'm going to enjoy ripping you to pieces"!
Paradox got into his own battle stance then, charging both of his arm-blade with electricity, making them glow blue as he responded: "Not as much as I'll enjoy bringing a murderer to justice".
It became official then with these words being exchanged as the two fiercely charged at each other, both ready to fight as hard as they possibly could in order to achieve their opposing goals. At the end of this day, one side would win and the other would lose. One would ascend into victory while the other would fall into failure. ONE of these two fighters would live, and the other would die.

Yep, a really good Toa died there... and that means war. Prepare to see more of it in the next five or so chapters. That's right. Literally, a lot of chapters filled with the action you all enjoy. Also, how did you take Gahu's death? My friends funeral was actually on the same day that I finished typing this chapter (1/25/15), and trust me when I say it really changes you when you see a friend in a casket. I guess a part of that was where all of the emotion came from when I typed this chapter. But I can't fully say I put in the full effect considering my friend didn't die in front of me. And a fact some of you might not know, is that I actually named the city Fireman protects after him. I miss him already, but the fact that he's in a better place actually makes me feel better. (sigh) Anyways, the song is shell shocked by Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign ft kill the noise and Madsonik. Bunch of weird names. enjoying the story so far? Be sure to leave a review or PM for opinions, questions, thoughts and concerns. Again, I thank you all for reading and please have a Lord-blessed day!
