Chibiyu: Here it is! Finally I know.

Nick: It didn't take that long.

Chibiyu: It feels like it.

()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()VIPER'S POV

Something my own brother always told me, before he…passed…on a JONAS mission. But that is what drives me. His loyalty to JONAS was what made me get as far as I had. He inspired me to become the best operative I could. And I did. For him. But as I look back on it now, so many flaws were in the mission and most of them were his. And even today, I never knew the purpose of that mission. I never knew why he had to go.

But now I suspected the purpose of that mission, was for his death.

VIPER'S POV

Imagine my surprise when I woke up to find Python out cold in bed, Shark and Cricket making a large and good smelling breakfast, and Joe and Kevin sitting on the couch with Lion. Everything was goo-JOE AND KEVIN SITTING ON MY COUCH?

What ere they doing here? An enemy spy and a mundane commoner? What? Oh no…what will happen when Kevin see's Nick? I think Hell just about froze over.

"Relax Viper." Cricket stated, waving her hand at me. "Pyth sent for them."

I looked to the two who had no business being here. Joe smiled at my glare and Kevin looked tired, meeting my glare head on with a curious expression.

"Well, I think I will confirm that with Python." I told them, heading towards his door. But surprisingly, Lion stood and blocked my path with his bulk.

"We only just got him to stop working and sleep." Joe explained, Lion backing up the story with a sharp nod.

"But…why are you here?" I demanded, changing tact to protect my friends.

"Relax, will you?" Shark ordered, punching my roughly in the shoulder and into a chair that faced the two brothers. "And don't make this an interrogation!" She stood behind me while Cricket finished the food, tapping her foot in an annoyed way. "Kevin, tell him before I rip off his senseless head."

Kevin nodded a I growled at Shark, who swatted me on the head. "Viper, have you ever heard of the GSA?"

No. Freaking. Way. Not another agency!

"No I haven't." I told them, my voice indifferent.

Kevin smiled. "Only one other person has that isn't in it."

"Nick." We all chorused, laughing lightly.

"But anyway," Kevin continued, "It stands for Governmental Spy Agency, and we have been monitoring JONAS and LEMUR for a good while. But its time for them to be shut down."

NICK'S POV

I felt a cold breeze hit my face and I was instantly alert. My window had been closed when I had first lain down. I stayed still and pretended to be asleep, trying to access the intruder's intentions. But they didn't move. I heard them breathing and I heard their initial footstep but so far, nothing. But I didn't let down my guard. I shifted in a way that wouldn't tell the person I was awake, but at the same time, it gave me a better position to spring up and fight. I had the person move towards me and it suddenly got harder to keep still and breathe like a sleeping person. A hand lightly touched my shoulder.

I snapped open my eyes, my hand instantly on the wrist of the intruder and twisting hard, not enough to break, but enough as a warning. But the person laughed and I saw her face.

No.

And then I saw the infrared dots of red on my chest.

KEVIN'S POV

Their reactions were not what I was expecting. What I expected was dismay, disproval and arguments. But no, all of them instantly agreed.

"We suspected this when our Boss told us Nick was better off dead because he got captured." Shark started, throwing her fire hair over her shoulder.

"And as she told us not to help Nick because the best don't get captured." Cricket finished. "And Lion's known it for awhile…he never did want to join." Lion nodded in confirmation. Viper was curiously silent, his eyes not leaving Nick's door.

"What is it?" Joe asked, seeing the same thing.

Viper blinked. "I heard footsteps. Either Nick's up…or something else is."

We all bolted to the door, but Viper stayed where he was, like he knew it was too late. I threw the door open and saw nothing. No one. Nothing.

The window was closed, Nick's bed was empty….there was nothing.

"Look!" The twins pushed passed my, Shark going to Nick's bed ad Cricket kneeling on the floor by the window.

"Blood."

"Footprints."

"Duct tape." Lion pointed to the floor by Shark and sure enough, there was a small piece of crumpled duct tape.

"Five people stood here, one moved forward to Nick's bed…" Cricket moved like she was walking like the intruder, mimicking his or her footsteps perfectly.

"There were weapons on Nick, like this…" Shark stood and jumped to the window, avoiding the footprints and she held out her arms and gun in an easy and unrushed motion. "All of them held weapons."

Cricket was over by Nick's bed now. "The girl, by the size and style of the footprints left, stood here, presumably bound and gagged Nick and they took him. But he wouldn't have gone willingly."

"They did have weapons." Viper's voice called and he heard him rummaging through something. "They took him as bait. See if you can find a message or something." He ordered, walking over to us, a finger print finder in his hand. It was low tech, but it would work fine. He started at the window while Joe and Lion looked around for a note. I pulled out my GSA phone and told my boss what happened.

"Guys, we need to prepare and recruit. This is the first step of the war."

NICK'S POV

Ok, where have I seen this before? Threaten the best with his life over his brothers and kidnap him. So uncreative, even for JONAS. And now they were going to do what to me? Ah, who cares. I was just sitting in my Boss's office, waiting for her to come and kill me, thinking about what my brother's and team would do to end this. Recruit, no doubt. Kevin's 100 people couldn't take out two companies. I wonder, as long as I was here, why not get the message out?

I stood and stretched, eyeing the room and smiling as I remembered the Boss was a woman and she ad almost killed the person that put a camera in her room before she tore it from the wall. I tested this room weekly for camera's and various spyware and never found any. Was it really this easy?

I sat in her chair and effortlessly hacked into the mainframe. Hacking was one of my specialties, and it was a skill most lacked. Time for a little coded message.

God's are falling and Titan's shall rise.

I sent it to every JONAS member, whether they knew the code or not. Viper and I made it a point to get as may of our close friends in on our code as possible and it never once reached the ears of the Boss's. Except now.

God's are falling just means that the rivalry of our companies (the God's) is rising into a war. Titan's rising just means, we the Titan's, have to stop it and dismantle the companies. Simple, for anyone that knows the code.

I sat back in my allotted chair as the door opened.

"Python." My Boss hissed, sitting behind her chair. Looks like I was going to face a woman's scorn. Crap. Rule number 14, Hel hath no fury like a woman's scorn. Perhaps more of a warning than a rule, but it was not a joke. "You're a traitor to us."

I didn't bother nodding. It was true, we both knew it.

"And that leads to your execution." She told me, as if I didn't already know. "It is a shame. We need you on our side…but you chose differently. Will you repent and fight with us again? Turn your back to your enemies once and for all?" How stupid did she think I am? Or was she just hopeful?

"I will not turn my back on my brother." I told her, leaving Kevin out of this. They couldn't have known yet. No one outside of GSA knew, unless you were me or you were told by Kevin.

"Very well." She sighed, looking at me sadly. "And so the world loses a talent soul." She stood and I stood. She walked me out and others stopped what they were doing, whether training or perfecting aim or making weapons, they all stopped and looked at me. Some in respect, others in fear, but they all held sorrow on their faces. I made it a point to look at all of them, my eyes holding one message.

Make your choice. Follow us into the rebellion or die like me.

SHARK'S POV

"Who?" Joe asked the only question with an obvious answer.

"JONAS." I answered into the silence.

"They want to silence their best…for good." Cricket put in.

"Get rid of our best, thus getting rid of a chunk of our odds in winning." Viper put in, throwing the finger print scanner down as he found nothing. "I can't believe this."

"I can." I answered, noting how the two brother's weren't contributing to the conversation. "JONAS is desperate. I am guessing…"

"They threatened that if Nick fought, they would kill us." Cricket took over, looking back to me.

"And once Nick got to the hide out, he was offered to repent and join them again, to fight against us."

"He would have said no." Joe whispered, looking as if in shock. We all nodded, knowing Python never turned his back on what he believed in.

NICK'S POV

"Bound or unbound?" The Boss asked me, holding up a blindfold. But only a coward didn't want to see his own death.

"Un." I answered, standing uncaringly against the metal wall.

"Do you have a message for your brother?" She asked lightly and I nodded, undoing my dog tag and throwing it to her as well as my purity ring.

"Give them to my brother's." I told her, not liking the lack of weight on my neck and the lack of space in between my fingers.

She nodded, and pocketed the two items. I knew they would be checked for the nonexistent spy gear.

"Any last requests?" She asked, loading her gun.

Again I nodded. "Stay away from my family." She looked down, but it was the highest rule, the highest honor of any fallen, traitor or not, to honor their last wishes. They could never touch my family now. And that was all I cared about.

"Goodbye Python. Goodbye Nicholas." It was customary to say agent name and then real. I don't know why, it just was.

I nodded to her. "Goodbye."

CRICKET'S POV

I snuck into JONAS headquarters without triggering any security or gaining anyone's attention. I listened to the conversations. They all were talking about Python and him being led by the Boss to his death. They all were showing each other something with their watches and all of them nodded after they saw it. I watched the JONAS HQ empty quickly as members and agents ran to get out. But why?

I saw the Boss walked into my sight, cleaning her bloodied hand and there were tears on her face pale face. Two people walked behind her, carrying a covered stretcher. Blood was staining where the person's heart would be. Could it really be…The Boss walked into another room, the cremation chamber, and readied it. I stealthily ran over to the two, and they regarded me sadly. I lifted the cover and nearly screamed.

No.

How can I tell Joe and Kevin?

I rushed back to the surface of the real world and ran back to Viper's house. I stopped when I walked into what looked like a party.

"Viper?" I called fearfully, not liking all of these people and I latched onto his arm when I found him.

"HEY!" My sister yelled, standing on the orange coffee table. "WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING HERE?"

One agent stepped forward. "Python sent us a message. God's are falling and Titan's shall rise."

Was there anything that boy couldn't do?

"Where is Python?" Kevin and Joe both asked, worry on their faces and riding heavily on their shaky voices. Everyone lowered their heads, everyone that knew.

"I'm sorry guys…" I whispered, looking at them. They looked back, the question in their eyes, and I shook my head. No. He wasn't alive.

I saw him, under that sheet. Eyes closed, not breathing or moving, paler than any human should be. And there was the bullet wound, directly over his heart. There was no way in Heaven or Hell that he could have lived.
