Ch. B17: Count Down
Yin groaned as he rolled out of bed hitting the cold floor with a dull thud. Even for his standards he had some messed up dreams he groaned again as he cleaned up various battle plans from his desk and floor. For being one of the smartest kids in the titian legion Yin was having a hard time planning for a war against up to four armies that Demise had managed to annoy. Yin looked at his clock noticing it was 6am exactly Titans today was when the big battle would start.
Yin stretched his arms letting out a huge yawn first thing first he needed to get armored up. He grabbed his scrolls eyeing the leather and gold scroll case that was on one of his book shelves. If he survived Yin swore he would open the thing. What he didn't know was that the last prophecy had just been retold to Demise.
Yin rushed out of the dorms noticing his armor was missing with a note from Yang. The Demititan met his team of tacticians at the back of camp giving them a rundown of orders encase he was "missing".
His team consisted of a girl named Jaylene a guy named Bruce and another guy named Jake. All of them were poorly chosen even by Demise standards. Yin had to go over the standards five times before he went to look for Yang and his armor.
"Hey bro." Yang waved Yin's armor in a pile at his feet. "Thought you might want some help putting your armor on."
"Yang I would think you know I can do that by myself." Yin replied walking up to his twin brother.
"Think of it as bonding time." Yang said grabbing the ancient gold chest plate carefully. "Well turn around."
Yin groaned as he turned allowing the help. "The last time we did this we were thirteen getting ready for our first capture the flag... Demise had just arrived being ranked number 1."
"Do you remember my advice?" Yang asked tightly synching Yin's chest plate.
"Yeah stay low and wait for it to end." Yin said finding breathing to be uncomfortable.
"And what did you do?" Yang pressed working on Yin's forearm bracers.
"Rushed the first guy I saw." Yin said his arms going numb.
"And you were in the medical bay for two weeks." Yang said bluntly. "I don't intend to let you go haphazardly into battle this time. Especially after your anger outburst at the Roman."
"Yang-" Yin was cut off by his grieves being synched up.
"You stay in charge of our movements and I'll make sure no one makes it into camp Kronos." Yang said looking over Yin who was forced to move awkwardly by his overly tight armor.
"You know I can't move right?" Yin said remembering his brother had been unconscious or in a prison cell when Yin had shown off his fighting skills.
"That's the point." Yang said eyeing Yin's golden money clip, which was imprinted with a skull and crossed swords. The everyday item held Yin's blade Neck Lacer and Yang knew it. "You're lucky I won't take your sword."
"Yang a lot has changed from a month ago." Yin said to his brother as he walked away.
"I don't care we're still brothers and I'll protect you." Yang called making Yin mad at his brothers incompetence towards him.
Yin groaned making his way back to the tacticians feeling the presence of war.
Yang noticed a Demititan garbed in full Crimson Armor his mask very Spartan like and his sword silver also the soldier had another sword sheathed to his back.
"Demise?" Yang asked recognizing the guy's eyes.
"The one and only." he replied his helmet making his voice much more frightening than usual.
"What's the plan?" Yang asked looking at the Stygian gates wide open with no protection.
"Well I believe that I will go wait for our enemies to March." he said casually looking at the sky as a soldier ran up to him carrying a lawn chair and local newspaper. "Good job Nickels now Yang I'll give the signal and you will fall into formation at nine o'clock sharp with everyone else."
"Okay?" Yang said questionably as he scratched the back of his neck. "Nine sharp got it."
"Good now I'll be off." Demise said cheerfully waltzing out the gates and half way through the massive clearing which was roughly a mile and a half away.
