Chapter 19

Sarah flipped into the air standing on Jimmy's right hand with her hands clasped together above her heart. Jimmy stood idle under her with his left hand extended out towards Edd. Jimmy and Sarah are acrobats but they base their knowledge and skill upon the works of William Shakespeare.

Edd: Are you sure that battling against me would be wise?

Sarah: I fought you before and beat you every time Double Dee!

Edd: That was "before" as you have stated. This is a different time and place that has given me the upper-hand.

Jimmy: We don't want to fight you Double Dee. We're your friends.

Edd: My King says there is no room for friends such as the likes of you lot.

Rolf: Sarah! Jimmy! Stop talking and just subdue him!

They did as commanded and attacked. As Rolf sat and worked on yet another spell everybody fought Edd. They've ever seen him fight before because he was a pacifist. He didn't even fight in the training simulations. Kevin stood by Rolf protecting him in case Edd brought the fight over to him, but he couldn't believe the power that the dainty pale boyfriend of his held. He wants to say that it was the technology that he created and Bro manipulated fault but who was he kidding? Possibilities on the nerdy doctor actually having power and strength with no tangible showings of muscles weren't from from his mental grasp.

Bro watched the fight from his throne. He rubbed the stubble on his chin seeing his princess fight his used-to-be friends and comrades. However he did notice Eddy leaving the fight and walking towards him. This peaked his interest.

Eddy: Why do you have such a grudge against mom and dad? What did they do to you to have you act like this?

Bro scoffed at his little brothers words. "What did they do?", 'More than you know little brother...more than you know...' he thought as he stared his brother down. 'If you knew of what they let that man do to me all those years ago than you would feel the same too,' thought Bro as he texted the girls to come and join the festivities. Seeing his crown jewel fight was amusing but it wasn't enough.

Bro: I have my reasons little brother.

Eddy: What reason is there for you to commit acts of crime on more than one account?

Bro: Unrequited love...

'What the hell is he talking about?' Eddy thought as he climbed the stairs and finally took his spot in front of his brother. 'Mom and Dad loved him more that anything and scolded me when I've done things like Bro in the slightest,' thought Eddy as he still climbed the metal stairs. 'Is this just a cry for attention as my therapist said before or what?'

Eddy: What're you talking about? Everybody loved you even the girlfriend you killed in high school who had a smile on her dying face!

Bro: That wasn't love, Eddy.

Eddy: What about the guys on the football team and the basketball team? They all treated you like a brother and even the coach treated like the son he never had.

Bro: Because he had all girls.

Bro sighed at Eddy's attempts at trying to make him understand for them both how the love he was given was unrequited. Bro sat back down at his seat and went back to watching the fight. The girls had finally joined in and they were fighting as they normally did. Kevin was still protecting Rolf but against Marie who was more than vengeful for the fact that Edd was dating him and she wasn't. Things were going just as planned for Bro; he got the good doctor, infuriated his boy toy and his little brother, got one of his friends in a hospital bed and has the information to rule the world with and iron fist and a sexy mind cotrolled vixen by his side. Everything was perfect.

Bro: Look Eddy, you will never understand why I am who I am or the things that I do. Mom and Dad...

He took in a sharp breath as the harsh memories from his past flashed by his eyes.

Bro: Tall and smart, he was everything I wanted...didn't think he would ever do that to me...

Eddy stood confused looking at his brother. Kevin was just about done with Marie and her stupid MMA fighting skills that he also knew but she had a lot more energy than he did. He got knocked down time after time and he was getting bruised so easily. 'That's it, I'm using a gun on this whore!' he thought. Kevin grabbed his two side revolver magnum WGM 45 and started shooting at Marie. It's too risky for him to be doing this even in such a big open space like this. With the molten liquid metal beneath them, flying bullets, bodies from both sides moving in unpredictable patterns and above all else; he's trying to kill this bitch! Kevin ever really never had a problem with Marie or her sisters before he actually met them, which was a good thing. But after the first encounter with her he was angry but he didn't really have much hate for them. The only times he actually applied hate to them, specifically Marie, is anytime he hears Edd's girly shriek from any distance. He always sees Edd running home with the other two to escape the Kankers. However, whe the Kankers try to gain access into their respective homes, Marie was relentless. She would be out in the dark, gruling, cold or warm weather dowsed in snow or rain waiting to torment Double Dee again.

Marie is very skilled in MMA fighting and she was also taught Kung Fu. She caught several of the bullets going towards her and threw them down in the heated metal. The rest she dodged allowing them to almost his his friends. Rolf stood finishing his spell. He took his staff and slammed it on the ground. Mist came forth from under his staff and pale green chickens formed from them and started attacking the Kankers. They couldn't stand farm animals and started swatted at them as they screamed running around like idiots. Kevin saw his chance to stop fighting Marie and to get to Edd. He jumped from pillar to pillar till he stood between Edd and his targets.

Edd: Stand down, you are not my target until I have finished with everybody.

Kevin: You'll have to fight me anyways.

Edd took a threatening stance against Kevin who thought it was pretty sexy but now wasn't the time for that.

Edd: Stand down, this is your last warning.

Kevin: Warn me all you want babe, I'm not going anywhere.

Edd: Permission to exterminate him my king?

He asked Bro not turning to him keeping his eyes locked with Kevin.

Bro: No, save him for last. Fight the ninja chick now.

Nazz: Who the hell you think your calling a "chick"?!

Nazz was fuming angry with the term used towards her demeaning her as a woman of worth. She started running up towards him but was swatted back by Edd. Kevin wasn't giving up on, 'If he won't fight me, not even fearing that I could end his own life knowing we'll have a hard time doing so, but maybe...' his thoughts trailed as his eyes darted towards Bro. Kevin started shooting at Bro as he ran up the stair case leading to his throne. Eddy ducked out of the way covering his head with his hands.

Eddy: Fuck! Warn me next time you start shooting you could've shot me!

Eddy yelled at Kevin who now stood at the top of the steps at an unharmed Bro.

Bro: As many times as you shot me you missed dude.

He chuckled under his breath swiping his thumb under his nose. That's impossible. Kevins had military training from his aunt and his father and he owns a shooting rage and a paintball area for his own personal use. How could he miss a still target? Boy would he get an earful if his mother and father heard about this. He stared at the devious man standing before him. He narrowed his eyes under his black mask. He standing right in from of him as plain as day no less.

Bro: Those little things could't shot me even if I stood in front of them and put the barrel to my forehead. As a matter of fact...

He swiped the gun with Kevin still having a firm grip on it. He settled the gun on his forehead and waited for him to pull the trigger with a malicious smile in tact. Edd saw this from the corner of his pure white eyes at his king being targeted. He felt the demand to protect his love. He disregarded Nazz, Jimmy and Sarah and ran to stand behind Kevin. The blade was swiftly brought to the back of his head and sliced through the cotton fabric of Kevin's black mask. The mask fell to the floor as Kevin looked to the side not turning his head to his boyfriend.

Edd: Put your weapon down.

Kevin: Or what? I know you all too well Edd, you won't hurt me or anybody else.

Granted he could be wrong about that and Edd could just stab his brains through with the sword without a second thought. However, Kevin knew he was dealing with his love.

Kevin: You've been fighting us for a good 45 minutes now and not one of us is dead or do we have wounds that are letting out blood.

Edd stood silent just watching the man before trying to figure out what his next move was.

Bro: You can't get through to him kid, he's a mindless slut and he belongs to me.

Kevin felt the words like bullets going through his heart. He felt a sting in his eyes bought fought them back.

Kevin: Not true...

Bro: Really? He was great in bed, the little guy. He couldn't stop screaming about how much it hurt.

Kevin let this fact retreat to the back of his mind trying to not let that fuel his fight where he would cause more damage than good. He didn't want Edd's first time to be with another man or woman, nobody but him.

Bro: He was super tight, felt like trying to fit the wrong bullet in a different gun. Right? The boy loved it when I would bit his ear as I finally came in him...and continued even after he was finished. He loved every hot second of it-

Kevin: Shut up!

Bro: Why, I'm telling the truth. He was like a doll in my arms. Can't tell you how many marks he left me with...

Kevin: Stop it, right now!

Rolf: Kevin calm down!

Rolf and the others came running up right behind him. Rolf knew of Kevins' short fuse when it came to things he cared about. When his favorite bike got stolen before they went to high school he flipped out and trashed everything in sight till he got it back a month later. He was moody and upset all the time and stayed in his room most of the day without or hardly any food or drink. He sat in front of a screen for hours watching motocross races or anything to do with bikes. Kevin hand was starting to shake holding the gun. His other hand was wrapped around the other gun on his holster. Rolf was on edge and aimed his staff at Edd-

Lee: Not so fast sweet cheeks.

Lee and her sister aimed at the crew with whatever they had. Eddy stood across from them all. He looked down at the wire cables that lead behind his brother and the contraption he modified as a chair. 'If this thing is controlling Double Dee or allowing them to control him wirelessly seeing as Bro took out all the wires from his back, maybe I can...' Eddy reached down for a thick cable and started cutting at it with his pocket knife.

Bro: What the hell are you doing?!

Bro yelled at his younger brother for cutting the cable. Eddy disregarded him and kept cutting.

Bro: Stop him Lee!

Nazz: Move and I run you through.

May: Same goes for you bitch!

Sarah: Watch it you hill billy.

Marie: How do you scrags fight without weapons?

Jimmy: Make one move and find out.

Everybody was on edge because of Eddy. He still was cutting the wire making Bro nervous as to what would happen to his beloved princess. Bro started to move from his spot but he forgot that he couldn't. Nazz saw this and squinted her eyes. She saw a shimmer glide over Bro's head. What is that? She put her weapon down slowly and walked towards Bro. Everybody saw her actions but did nothing. She took the chopstick from her hair and poured the ash she kept as good luck in her hand. She put the stick back in her hair and blew the dust towards Bro's direction. The dust revealed a holographic dome covering him, protecting him, that's why none of Kevin's bullets could touch him. He was being protected by the dome so he wouldn't care if Kevin shot him right now because the bullet wouldn't touch him and ricochet into anybody here.

Nazz: You have a holographic dome surrounding you...that's why Kevin couldn't hit you...

Kevin looked at Nazz then at Bro with a smile on his face. Kevin knows how to get rid of the dome.

...3...3...3...3...3...3...3...3...3

I'm in love with an idiot. Me and Nathan withdrew from the group before the went down that log corridor. Hopefully they found their friend and aren't in dire need of neither me or Nathan because we're looking for that kidnapped boy, Arnold Steven-Young and the main frame for the building itself. Nathan is being rather reckless about trying to be stealthy. He walked in on several people that work for Bro and almost killed us on sight. Thankfully my brother taught me how to fight and my mom owns a dojo and my dad is a weaponry expert. We walked further into the buildings bowels looking for Arnold but its' getting rather hard and looking as though he's dead.

Nat: Babe, do you even think the kid's still alive?

Dave: I hope he is given this long search for his whereabouts.

Nat: Long searches end cold D, what if Kevin and the others are dying up there and could use our help right now?

Dave: I doubt they need it. He's been fine without our help for years.

Nat: But now he calls us for something dire, do you-

Dave: Shhhhhh!

I told him to quite himself because I heard something. We were still somewhere in this place but of what part I knew nothing about. However I heard what sounded like a person crying.

Nat: You go that way and I'll cover.

Dave: Right.

Nathan and I went to either side of the hall and listened in on the doors for the crying. We got to the last door o the right side and the crying was louder; it was coming from in here. Nat went to go pick the lock and somebody opened it.

Guard: Yeah, he's really loose right now-

A guard opened the door shirtless wearing only black cargo pants, combat boots and the silver dog tags hanging from his neck. The guy looked down at Nat with a blank stare stopping in mid sentence. He opened his mouth to say something but Nat kicked him in the balls. You idiot. By him doing that the guy said "intruders" and the other guys in the room met us in the hall. Two of the guys grabbed Nathan's arms and held him as the guy he kicked in the balls got up and took revenge. I jumped on his back because I didn't want him to hurt Nathan. The guy clawed at my arms scratching them leaving scars that raised blood. Nathan saw this and how the guy pinned me after slamming me into the wall.

Nat: DAVE!

He screamed my name feeling the blow that I had felt but ten times worse. I released the man and I fell to the floor. The guy turned to me and knelt down to me. He took my hair in his hand and lifted me off of the ground. I grappled at his hands as he stood me in front of Nathan and his two goons.

Guard: And for what you did, I'll just take him as compensation.

He said as he lifted my shirt and licked my ear. Honestly, I'm not scared of him or what he "thinks" he can do to me to make me scared. I'm more skilled than he is in many different fighting styles that focus on offense and defense; hence he can't beat me, nobody can. Except for Nathan that is...He for some reason has more strength, power and skill than I thought. But he's only allowed to use it when I'm in danger or being sexually harassed. Knowing how jealous Nathan gets, I used this to my advantage. I moan loudly as my face heats up and I force myself to have a slight boner. It was a good thing I wore my hunter green skinny jeans today because they came in handy when I forced my boner.

Nathan saw this and I heard low growls rumbling from his throat. I upped the sensual view and do what only I did with Nathan behind closed doors. I threw my head back and moaned loudly arching my back and spreading my legs apart as the guy groped me.

Guard: Well, well, well, he's a little more inviting than the kid. I wonder what things he's bee taught.

The other guards agreed and I heard Nathan grow silent. This was good and bad. Nathan, again is a very jealous man and can't stand the thought of me with any other being touching me or gaining my attention when he can't. I heard him flip the other guys on to the ground and beat them bad enough to where they can't get back up for a few hours. The man holding me was scared more than the other two. His hands were starting to get clammy and I felt the hitch in his breathing along with his increased heart beating.

Nat: You have one second before I kill to let go of my boyfriend...

The man was thoroughly scared at how strong this man is and how he was overly protective. Nathan has always been like that, have no idea why but seeing him get jealous is very scary but very cute. He'll give me the cold shoulder later about acting the way I did to get us out of this situation. The guard dropped me and fell to the floor scooting away. Nathan didn't care he went after him and stepped on his leg. Normally I would tell him to calm down and to let the poor man go but this is for a friend and these people are not friendly. I sat the with my back against the wall and watched as Nathan lowered himself to the mans level closing the gap between their faces as a sadistic smile grew like wild fire on his face. Sexy. He spoke once close enough to his liking.

Nat: One.

He stabbed the man in his stomach and twisted the knife while it was still in his body. The mans breathing became ragged and raspy as he soon began to gurgle and choke on his own blood pooling in his throat. He now bled slowly as Nathan became calm and came to my side. He put the knife back in his boot and smoothed my hair with his semi bloodied hand.

Nat: Are you ok?

Dave: I'm fine, granted I technically used you to take them all out-

He cut me off by embracing me and sighing into my neck. My heart felt tight for doing this but I didn't want him to get hurt. Not again. I wrapped my arms around him and breathed in his scent as tears silently fell from my eyes. I love him and I'm glad he's mine to protect and I'm his to protect. He pulled away with a sad smile on his face as he helped me up.

Nat: I don't blame you for doing that.

Dave: I know you don't.

Nat: And if you think I'm going to give you the cod shoulder from this than your dead wrong.

I pushed him back so he would be at arms length from me. I stared at him for a minute with anger and confusion. Nathan was smiling at me with lust and enjoyment.

Nat: That's right once this is all over and the second I finish filling out a report at the base with everybody else...

He pushed me against the wall and bit my lower ear making my yelp in shock.

Nat:...I'm gonna make you wish that I had a stop button.

He pulled away from me and went into the room where the kid was. The boner I forced myself to have was knowing how he would be after seeing me in another guys arms. Now I have a full raging boner trying to figure out what the hell he'll do to me when we get home. I calmed myself down and went into the room where Nathan and Arnold were. The poor boy was raped and then gang raped and tortured. I covered the boy up with the blankets on the couch and Nathan carried him.

...3...3...3...3...3...3...3...3...3

Bro stood with shock ad terror on his face as a smile grew on Kevin's. 'Having a super genius for a boyfriend comes in handy when dealing with a maniacal evil genius that steals others work. Edd was still behind him holding the sword at Kevin's nape. Bro knew something might happen to be his downfall, he couldn't allow it to happen!

Nat: WE FOUND THE KID!

Everybody, but Edd, turned to the entrance to see Nat, Dave and Arnold. All three were scratched up but not as badly as Arnold, but till alive and well. Bro was slowly losing the fearing grip that he plagued everybody with. With a jolt he grabbed the collar of Kevin's shirt and pulled him to the holographic dome. The dome was rigged and made by May and Lee. The dome only allows those whose DNA was entered into the system; Edd, Bro, Lee, May and Marie. Any other intruders would receive a current of electricity sent through their body. And that's what happened to Kevin. His body made contact with the dome and visible currents of electricity enveloped parts of his body as he screamed in terror. But through all the screaming he took the gun in his back pocket and lifted it towards Bro!

Bro: That won't do anything to me. Remember you can't beat this dome!

He laughed, but that wasn't what Kevin was trying to do. Lifting the gun towards Bro gave Edd a fright and he lunged the sword at Kevin. Kevin was starting to think like he always did instead of thinking from revenge, anger and depression. He moved and Edd fell into Kevin's arm dropping the sword. The muscles in his body were contorting making weak and strong at the same time. Though he struggled, he took the gun and pressed it to Edd's temple.

Bro: Don't you dare kill him!

'That's not the plan,' thought Rolf as he smiled lashing out at Lee who stood behind him. He created a domino effect knocking everybody behind him down. Kevin pulled the trigger and Edd knocked him out of the electric current. The fighting continued between the rest of the gang as Bro stood feeling his heart stop. Kevin held Edd in his arms on the floor as Bro simply watched. Everything was starting to fall down around him. Eddy finally cut the cable he was cutting at and it was good and bad that he did. He demolished the dome.

Kevin felt his muscles tighten around his boyfriend even though they were completely still. He looked down at the flower in his arms to see his eyes closed tight. He struggled to move his hand but did to wipe the loose strands of hair that fell from atop his head. The black raven coloured hair was still just as soft as the last time he touched it. The slight touch of his hands made his love fidget as his eyes slowly opened. They were still bright glowing white.

Edd: Kevin...?

His voice was still distorted.

Kevin: Yes love?

Edd smiled in pleasure at the sound of his voice even though he couldn't see him clearly. All he could make out was the emerald green eyes that always took him to a serene forest and that soft ginger hair that he loved running his fingers through.

Edd: Thank you for saving me and for shooting that dart into my head.

Kevin: I told you before I never want to lose you, to anybody.

Edd: Good, I never want to leave your side.

Kevin: That's more than reassuring.

Kevin said as he sat them both up and Edd threw his body into Kevin's. Their arms were entwined into one anothers and sat there for a minute. It was soon broken when Kevin's body gave a sudden jolt scaring Edd. He looked up to see his love staring at him with tears rolling down his face. Kevin slowly looked down at the sword going through his chest; directly where the scar above his heart was. Edd felt his throat tighten and his words caught in a net that he wanted to scream out.

Bro pulled the sword out of his victims chest and watched as he fell to the side in front of his lecherous princess.

Edd: KEVIN!

He found the words and screamed at the top of his lungs catching the attention of all his friends as they finished off the Kankers tying them with explosive rope Johnny and Plank made. It has some sort of micro fibers that can detect strenuous movement so if they struggle it blows up. Nathan took Arnold back to the jet and waited for everybody there. He couldn't stand the sight of his best friend dying and even though he wanted to freak out but be level headed n help he had to think right for everyone's account. Dave went to help everybody. Eddy stood in shock as one of his rivals killed his other rival made friend. His best friend in the world was bawling tears, he can't stand the sight of it, it's killing him. He shot a look at his brother and took out his gold gun. The dome had been destroyed so there wasn't anything stopping him from shooting him. Was there?

Hey everybody I hope you guys had a wonderful holiday! I'm sorry that I barely have time to update like I usually did but this chapter and the next should make up for it. As you can see Nazz is a little smarter than people give her credit for and that Nathan has the same mind when it comes to punishment for their better half. Bro has a lot to explain for doing this but can Eddy really shoot his brother? And Arnold is safe and sound, needing major medical attention but still safe. But this is the chapter is the first I've done where it pauses twice switching from set characters! How do you guys like it? But for now eat left over, play with all your Christmas presents and brag about it on FB. But as I always say, keep reading Assassins Love Story my Christmas dollies and enjoy the holiday love.
