Chapter 4 Part 1: Last team standing
Leviathan, still inside his cave, wondering around to collect data on how the Cloud Mayor is strategizing on his attacks. With his professional skills he can predict that things will happen when the war starts.
He heard a woman screaming his name from outside. It was the brothers mom.
"What brings you here?" Asked Leviathan
The woman handed a necklace with a black jewel with a crafting of her name on it. "Please, I will give it to you if you help my sons along their journey, whatever it is, either an alliance or a war, be with them and guide them to victory. I just want them to be safe."
"... Hilla...?" Leviathan scratched his head while looking at the diamond.
- Somewhere in Dark's house -
The two brothers were busy sharpening their weapons, practicing skills, and taking necessary items to the war.
"Spark, when the Cloud Mayor comes down with me, I want you to deactivate the electricity source, just exactly for 15 minutes before reactivating it again, careful not to destroy it." Dark patted on Spark's shoulder, giving him a confident stare and smile. "Take this, this is the signal light, when it shines, you can deactivate the source and start counting."
- They flew into the Clouds -
"You need to stay stealthy and not get the attention of.." Dark paused, looking at Spark smiling at him.
"Alright, I guess you know the rest. Good luck, brother!" Dark nervously gave a smile and walked towards the headquarters where the Cloud Mayor is at.
Soon when he reached the headquarters, he was surrounded by four soldiers holding stun spears pointing from all four directions, and a Cloud Mayor appearing.
"Hmmph" The Cloud Mayor let out a furious noise which startled Dark.
"You know, I have eyes on everything. I saw YOU..." The Cloud Mayor paused and stared at Dark, then continued. "And your hometown, still in ONE PIECE! What did I hire you for!? I told you to destroy the whole city! You will be in deep deep trouble! Come with me to the headquarters this instance!" He roared with anger showing through his voice.
"Hey.. Wait! I have something to tell you, I placed bombs all over the city, with a push of this button, you can destroy the whole city. I have planted them so nicely that they would appear invisible to everyone." Dark handed him the signal remote.
- Signal remote pressed. Spark's light lit up -
Dark slid his hands into his coat and reached for his hammer, ready to strike in any moment.
As the electricity got deactivated, a loud explosive sound that sounded like a sudden surge of electricity bursting out in flames altogether is heard throughout the Cloud town.
Dark swung the hammer into the Mayor's face and then threw the other soldiers down to the ground. Then the Mayor got mad.
They both had a fight with weapon as quick as lightning.
- Control room -
Spark went towards the exit and dashed out of the door, as soon as he broke through the door, he flew back into the control room and crashed into the back of the room with a huge amount of force, leaving a large dent on the wall and devices.
After then he was surrounded by the Cloud's Lightning Crusaders Team members.
He held his weapon out and fought with them, one against all.
- Back to the caves -
Leviathan gathered a huge amount of big dragons ready to battle whatever the Cloud throws at them. He then got approval from Hilla that if he succeeds, he can take control of the clouds for himself.
They set out to gather weapons and Exploding Charms which can be activated by Hilla's black magic.
When they got the equipments ready, they set out to the Clouds to plant the charms and kill the Mayor.
- Little did they know.. That they are there.. Struggling for their lives. -
Dark was hit by a massive thunderstorm and landed on the soft clouds, and followed by the Cloud's Knight of Lightning Team surrounding him.
"Now you really only have two choices.. One, is to work for me, FOREVER.. Or, Two, which is to DIE! What is your choice?" The Cloud Mayor gave Dark an evil smirk.
Dark slowly stood up, dropping his hammer, with eyes glowing with power, looking down so that the Mayor can't see them. "You know, I would really like to choose the first choice... But I rather stay loyal and destroy this place instead!" Dark looked straight at the Mayor and frowned, then he charged with amazingly quick speed into the Mayor, causing the mayor to fly away.
He took his hammer while maneuvering to dodge the Team and then reduced the amount of members that are battling him.
- Headquarters -
"It's almost 15 minutes! I must reactivate the electricity soon! If not Dark's plan will fail!" Spark disarmed a Team member and took its shield and used it for himself, while getting to the source again. This time, a member's sword smashed into the glass pieces of the shield, knocking Spark back onto the devices now deactivated. Trying to reach for the electricity switch, he found himself getting pulled away from it and thrown back to being surrounded by the Lightning Crusader's Team. He was exhausted and cannot continue, he gave in to the Team and was forced into the Cloud's Lightning Crusader Team.
As Dark was trying to wipe them out, more and more just kept on coming, which was too much for Dark himself to handle. He was forced down on the cloud and disarmed. He tried everything he could to stand back up but failed and got smashed into the clouds.
"Give up, Dark? Join us and you'll be safe." The Cloud Mayor picked Dark up, now held captive by the Knight of Lightning Team.
Dark struggled until he was zapped by a Lightning shock, then fell to the ground and gave in.
Chapter 4 part 2: Betrayal, no more.
As Leviathan, Hilla and their army made their way up to the Cloud, they saw lots of lightning flashing throughout the skies, then they were stopped by the Cloud's Guardian Team.
"Get out of the way before I hurt you!" The Leviathan screamed
The Guardians burst out in laughter as they saw the weak dragons and Leviathan. Then they were stabbed by the other Army members.
They made their way up into the clouds where the sun shines brighter than it shines to the ground.
- Spark and Dark, the betrayal -
As soon as the brothers woke up, they found themselves tied together back to back, surrounded by the Cloud's Lightning Crusader and Knight of Lightning Team.
"I still don't believe that you both are alive, after what you both did to the Cloud. If you really want to repent..." The Mayor was interrupted by a loud bang on the door with Guardians flying into the headquarters. Then followed by the Army which was lead by Leviathan, that was ordered to infiltrate the headquarters.
"Kill them." The Mayor pointed at the weak looking dragons.
"Why should we even help you? Why?" Dark cried.
"Because I have planted micro killers in your brain. If you don't do what I say, I will press this button, and you can say goodbye to your lives. Go, NOW!" The Mayor untied the brothers and they looked at each other with tears in Dark's eyes.
The Mayor backed off into his armory to start his nuclear weapon.
"I shouldn't have got you into this Dark, I am sorry. And now the only way I can repay your help is to let you walk out this Cloud, safely, even if it costs my life. And if I die, always remember, that I am by your side." Spark gave his brother a hug and his last words. Dark had tears streaming down his cheeks and onto his brothers shoulders. Then they both charged into the dragons.
- Inside the nuclear armory -
The Mayor slowly powers up his nuclear weapon to destroy Edelstein.
"Stop! You can not do this! Don't you have a heart? You are supposed to be helping us, not killing us! We are supposed to be allies! Not enemies! Why do you want to destroy our town!?" Hilla appeared.
"Oh, what have we here? A visitor! From the Black Wings Commander! Right? You look magnificent!" The Mayor gave Hilla a quick smile.
"Although I have stepped down from my dirty magic, and retired long ago, I still have some tricks up my sleeves that can kill you!" Hilla held her staff up.
"Not exactly what you think, Hilla. You have failed and betrayed the Black Wings long ago! How would you even have the tiniest idea how to kill again?" The Mayor snapped his fingers and out comes the Cloud's Elite Team.
Hilla looked around, "Oh, what a challenge indeed!" saying sarcastically.
As her staff lights up and glow with power, she tries to defeat the whole Elite team.
- Back in the headquarters -
"Who are we even fighting with!? What is the head count of my army already!? Argh! It's hurting my eyes with all these blood flying around here and there!" Leviathan, almost pulling his hair out of his head.
"Sir, we are fighting with two of the Cloud's Teams, and also, we only have 250 dragons left, we can't hold on much longer. We have the charms planted already. I think I found the two brothers... Killing us.." The commander of the Army reported.
"What!? Bring me to them immediately!" Leviathan commanded.
Leviathan just couldn't believe his eyes, looking at the countless number of dead bodies that was surrounding the brothers.
"Hey! Spark! Dark! It's me! Why are you killing my Army instead of helping me!" Leviathan shouted
"You both better be killing, you will face the worst time of your life if you stop killing them!" The Mayor appeared, wounded.
Spark and Dark continued killing off the dragons and then finally going towards Leviathan for the final kill.
"Uh oh, it might be a good time to summon Hilla now! Where is she!" Leviathan anxiously screamed, looking around.
"Calling for your girlfriend, huh?" Dark teased.
"What!? No! Back off! I am on your side!" Leviathan moving backwards.
"Looking for... This?" The Mayor pulled out the door to reveal the nuclear armory, with Hilla strapped onto the nuclear weapon.
"MOM?" Spark and Dark gasped.
"Uh oh.. Not good!" Leviathan ran towards the door hoping to escape, but the door closed on him.
"Kill that Leviathan, and your mom will be spared, kill me, and none of you will come out alive!" The Mayor laughed crazily.
The Mayor held a long sword pointing towards Hilla, and threatened them to finish Leviathan off.
The brothers felt like dying there and then, but walked towards Leviathan slowly.
"Don't kill Leviathan! Don't worry about me, I have let you both down for so long, I have kept a secret that you should have both known, my actual title is a Black Wings commander, Hilla, while your father, is Zeus, the one you killed..." Hilla cried.
Dark and Spark was about to burst in tears.
"I guess this is my fate for being too adventurous.." Leviathan sighed.
"So, what is your choice, Leviathan dead, Hilla dead, or everyone dying here and now!" The Mayor was urgently shouting.
It was a hard decision for Spark and Dark.. Then they both nodded at each other without speaking.
Dark closed his eyes and let a tear drop drip down before he ran towards Leviathan.
Spark smoked the area and swiftly ran towards the Mayor and pushed him, letting his hostage free.
"Do your magic, I believe in you, mom." Spark then ran off to finish the Mayor, but the Mayor did something to himself to make him stronger.
"Leviathan! Protect my mom while she's doing her magic! And leave this place immediately after destructing the whole Cloud!" Dark pushed Leviathan to his mom.
"H - how did you know about the explosives?" Leviathan asked.
"Just get out of here, we will deal with the Mayor!"
As the Mayor changes into his final form, he summons his Elite Team besides him to finish the brothers off.
Spark was trying to direct the focus of the Mayor to him, while Dark distracts the Elite team.
The black magic was done, the charms are set to explode in a few seconds, Leviathan and Hilla quickly went out of the headquarters, but was stopped by the guards.
"Hilla! You alright? Did the magic cost your life!?" Leviathan anxiously looked at the fainting Hilla.
The guards easily captured Leviathan and Hilla, then bringing them to the Mayor.
"I'll make them suffer before your eyes!" Punching Spark away from him.
As Hilla was held on by the Mayor, "I will rip this woman apart, and then it will be your turn!" He laughed.
"Don't think you've won... You and I are going down TOGETHER!" Hilla casted a special magic that would create a vortex that absorbed them into a black hole.
While the place was being absorbed, Dark cried and held on tight to the ground.
"You need to get out of there! Once the door is being absorbed, you both can fly out! Don't worry about me!" Hilla shouted.
Spark and Dark cried as they flew out faster than the black hole can absorb them.
The place exploded before they could fly down to the ground, removing half of the sky and the headquarters.
Leviathan smiled at them before being squashed by the headquarters and never to be seen again.
"What I dreamt... Was somehow right..." As Dark cried he hugged Spark, who cried with him as well.
"At least that's over.." Spark looked at Dark.
"I.. It wouldn't have to end that way.." They both flew down to Dark's house and had a good night to get over it.
