Chibiyu: Confused as to what is up with Nick? Good.

Nick: So am I dead or am I not?

Chibiyu: ….umm….still working on that.

Nick: …great.

IF I OWNED JONAS, THERE WOULDN'T BE A SCRIPT BECAUSE I DON'T PLAN AHEAD! Hehehe…

()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()~~~~~~()KEVIN'S POV

"I did it because they would kill you if I hadn't! Me dying was an act! My boss and I made a plan and used a dead body with a holographic disguiser and I was placed here to take it down from the inside." Nick hurriedly explained but I didn't believe him. Something told me something was wrong. Nick met my eyes and I slapped his cheek, hard.

"Who are you?"

JOE'S POV

"Kevin!" 'Nick' sounded hurt and looked hurt as he looked into the eyes of his older brother. But like Kevin, I knew this was an act. He tried to lift himself up from the dirt ground but I grabbed his wrists and forced them above his head, holding them down and Kevin held down his knees. We both ignored the odd stares coming from the others. "What are you doing? I'm your brother!" 'Nick' tried to fool us and deter us but we were pretty good spies.

"Shut up." I growled and 'Nick' stiffened and looked at me, his eyes wide. Never have I told him that so coldly and I never meant it. But this wasn't Nick.

"What's going on?" A familiar voice yelled just before and explosion broke through the silence. Everyone dove to the ground and covered their heads and necks as smaller debris made its way into the tree line and onto us. But the bigger things never flew this far.

"Viper!" Nick yelled and the pale faced, sweaty and wide eyed agent ran over.

"I thought…I thought you all…why are you holding down your brother?" He forced through his stutter and looking wildly at us.

"Because, just look at him Viper!" I ordered him and Viper nodded, eyeing Joe rather oddly. Viper knelt down, eyes flickering at the other agents who were going to cover up and take care of the mess the explosion called before going onto 'Nick.' He tilted his head to his side, his eyes narrowing as he examined our prisoner.

"You're not Nick." He stated, realization dawning on him. "You're not Nick! Where is he and who are you?" He yelled shaking the boy on the ground. The boy just starred wide eyed at Viper. So he was a good actor huh?

"Viper, why don't we stop…?" Kevin mused and I smiled coldly at the still boy. "There are other people willing to interrogate him."

"And they won't be as nice as us…" Joe finished, looking over his shoulder to the LEMUR interrogators. 'Nick' didn't even bother looking.

"Oh trust me…I know." He growled. "Or look at the burns under my sleeve if you've forgotten." I stole a glance to Viper, who shook his head in disbelief.

"We know what LEMUR can do…but we don't know what you can do." He whispered, kneeling next to the imposter. "What can you do?"

'Nick' smiled. "This." He snapped his fingers and just like that, the clicks of hundreds of safety's on concealed snipers were flicked off. "And to think…" The guy flipped up, brushing and pushing off us as if we were no less than crumbs on his shirt. "Nick thought so highly of you."

"They haven't failed yet!" Someone behind us yelled and we all turned to see Kevin's people standing proudly…but why were there so few. "You see, we don't give up easily."

Kevin laughed. "Yeah, look what I can do." And he snapped his fingers and the sounds of fifty gunmen getting knocked unconscious sounded. I have to say, they are both really lucky they can snap their fingers. "Tie them up!" Kevin shouted into the trees though I thought that was unnecessary because trained spies already knew that. But to me, it was like Kevin wanted the guy that was in front of him to know that they had order. "Now, who are you?"

'Nick' laughed. "Someone you know better have never seen." He glanced up into the tree braches and to me; it was like he was looking for observers. "The sky is dark enough…Let the war between LEMUR, JONAS and the GSA…begin."

"How do you know about the GSA?" Kevin growled, always defending his company as LEMUR agents walked out of the trees.

"I have sources…" The guy whispered, dropping Nick's voice and changing into something oily and smooth, something I personally hated. "Are we going to talk…or fight?"

Our side yelled and the other side matched our cries. Cliché I suppose but it really fit the moment. And then everyone ran towards each other and the hand to hand combat war began.

LEMUR collides with JONAS and GSA with grunts and a few yells. Punches were being thrown, kicks were lashing out, and a few even used their teeth. Head butts were a must and even a butt was used as a weapon. People started falling instantly. Kevin and I weren't one of them.

My heart raced with lightening I called adrenaline as I ducked and turned off my gentleman side to fight. What was I fighting for? Was I fighting to end the companies? No. Not anymore. I was fighting for my brother that they took from me. I was fighting for Nick, and nothing could stop me from winning in his memory. Nothing.

A guy charged at me and I ducked under his fist, picking him up and I spotted trouble as he struggled. "Kev, down!" I screamed and Kevin instantly dropped to the dirt ground just as the LEMUR operative I held sailed over him and hit three enemy agents, stopping their assault on my brother. "Viper, behind you!"

"On it!" He yelled, running over to a sniper lying on the ground. If LEMUR played dirty…should we? No…they wanted that. They wanted us to sink to their level so we would be the scum they are. SO we wouldn't be fighting for the company anymore…they were fighting for hate, to take JONAS down. Us? We were fighting for the rights and freedom JONAS and LEMUR were taking away. Both went way too far in this game of spying and it was time they both fell. It was time for everything to be right again. It was time for a new age, as corny as that sounds. And we planned to bring all of that. LEMUR only planned to take it away. But both of us were fighting, hurting, and ruining bonds…so who was the real enemy?

But right now…I can't feel these emotions or have theses thoughts. I need to fight. I need to.

KEVIN'S POV

It was always hard to take down a fellow operative, but we all knew that we needed to, in order to save ourselves. Why did that sound so cheesy? Cheese is good though and sometimes, all situations need cheese.

No! Stop thinking about cheese! Get your head in the game Kevin! Nick wouldn't be thinking about cheese in a time like this! And that is why you are fighting! Not for the companies, not anymore. It was personal now. They took Nick and so now we are taking their badges and honor and job. We are doing what Nick wanted done. This is for Nick now. For his memory.

As soon as I peeled myself off the floor, I saw the guy in charge, the one disguised as my little brother, taking down agents left and right. He may be the best, second only to Nick, but I was Nick's brother. I learned something from him. I learned that to take down a good agent, you can't be alone. You need someone you trust and care about and someone you know who will cover your back as you cover theirs. I need Joe.

"Danger!" I called and he materialized by my side. I never did him this…might as well now, because I may never get the chance again. "My code name is K2."

Joe shook his head at me. "Dude, that is so anticlimactic." I shrugged and pointed to the head and he nodded. "Let's do this." I patted him on the shoulder, and we charged.

The guy impersonating our brother saw us coming and laughed, rubbing his hands together. I knew this wasn't Nick so it wasn't hard for me to want to punch him in the nose. But my fist never hit its target. He ducked under my fist and kneeled, bending backwards to go under Joe's leg. One word came to my brain; Matrix. But we can still beat him. Joe and I pushed and fought as hard as we could, trying to bring this guy down, but he didn't fight back and none of our shots landed. I felt sweat pour down my back and my reflexes became slower. This is not good.

"So alike and yet you fight so differently…" The guy mused, finally hitting me hard in the neck and I went down, coughing up a lung, my throat burning. I felt Joe fall besides me, holding his rib cage. "Pathetic if you ask me. I only wish Nicky was here...than it would be a fight." He knelt in front of us. "Oh, but he's not…he's dead because he wanted to protect you…and he did…from JONAS…but not from us."

That got me. I looked to Joe and I saw the anger in his eyes as well. And then something hit me. This guy was right. Joe and I fought so differently that we weren't fighting as one unit and therefore, it was easy to find holes to dodge…but if we worked together…

Joe nodded, already knowing what I was thinking, even without looking at me. "We are not done yet." He sneered and I stood with him, ignoring the sounds and movements all around us. I had no idea which side was winning and I didn't care. All that matter to me was this man, and taking him down. If he falls, the whole thing falls.

"Then let's see what you've got left." He whispered, smiling in anticipation. He stood from the ground and instantly had to backbend as Joe's fist came flying to his nose and I took that opportunity to kick him, hard, where no guy wants to be hit. He sprang back up, face contorted in pain, just as Joe's fist slammed into his eye. He stumbled back in shock, looking at us, and then he smiled a pained smile. He cracked his neck and straightened up, pushing back all pain. "I see…" He nodded, ready for the storm that was Joe and Kevin Lucas…or…he thought he was.

We sprang to him, adapting to each others fighting style quickly. Rule number the: adapt to your opponent. And adapt to your partner. We fought with renewed heart as we started landing hits and as he started hitting back. When I went down because I failed to defend myself, Joe always covered me before he managed to finish me. And I did the same with him. We each blocked shots meant for ourselves and each other. We fought as a single unit, which is what adapting can do.

Though I wanted to sit down and close my eyes and rest because it looked like our opponent was tiring and one person could handle it. But no. Rule Number One: never underestimate your opponent. So I kept fighting and just when it seemed he was about to fall to the ground, he sprang back up, a new light in his eyes and I was forced to take a step back to dodge his leg. Joe managed to grab his hair and pull to try and subdue him, but he yanked away, eyes tearing as several hair strands were ripped form his skull. Joe could have never done that.

I blinked once and Joe turned to see someone falling next to him and suddenly Joe was on the ground. Rule Number Two: never take your eyes off the prize. And we just remembered that rule the hard way. But what if this guy didn't follow all the rules? What if we could catch him off guard? I looked to Joe and he nodded, again knowing what I was thinking. Brothers can do that, one advantage we had over others.

The three of us pressed each other harder and harder until it seemed like we all had nothing more left to give, and that was when he lifted his gaze from us and looked over my shoulder as someone screamed. Joe punched him in the stomach and I knocked him into the ground, putting my hands on his throat and pinned him down.

"Don't kill me!" He begged and I growled, Joe kicking him and telling him to shut up and listen.

"Call off your attack, we won."

He growled as my hands tightened and he did as I said, everyone who was still standing stood back and allowed them to be tied up by our side. Joe did the honors of tying this guy up and I made sure he remained held down at all times.

And then a small ban sounded through the woods and we all jumped, expecting a gun attack. And then more came and it sounded like…clapping?

"Kevin…look!" Viper pointed over to a break in the trees and all of our jaws dropped. The JONAS head and the LEMUR head clapping at us, smiling widely.

"I don't…understand…" Joe and I said in unison.

"Then allow me to explain." A new voice joined in and we all looked up just in time to see someone drop from a tree, using his shoes to slow his fall. "Hey bro's." Joe and I couldn't move, we were in shock. Nick stood there, smiling at us, not a scratch on him.

"How?" I managed to force out and Nick rolled his eyes.

"Kevin, come on. I am the best." Joe pushed me forward and ran to Nick, me close behind and we hugged him tightly, him actually hugging back. "I'm sorry I had you think I was dead." We only hugged him back tighter. "I had to give you something more to fight for…I had to make it more real." We pulled away. "I had to create the ultimate simulation."

What?

Nick looked to the guy we tied up and smiled. "Told you." He mocked and the guy rolled his eyes. "Kevin, have you ever seen your boss before?" I shook my head. Nick walked over to him and untied him, helping it up. "Huh…nice look." He joked before the other shook his head and took off the hologram thing, revealing a bald guy with muscles and green eyes. "Well, here he is."

I just beat my boss? Cool.

"Wait…what simulation?" Viper asked and Nick sighed, leaning against a tree.

"This is long and complicated but please follow along and don't interrupt." He sounded more like a boss than a fellow agent now. "JONAS and LEMUR…they aren't real spy companies. People from the GSA started them years ago in hopes they could create the ultimate final exam for the best spies and this generation was that time. I used to be ignorant of that fact, that all of you, but last year I got chosen because I had family in the companies and because GSA liked what I could do."

We listened to Nick explain what couldn't be possible. We heard him say how everything we did wasn't a lie, but the companies we worked for weren't real companies. The bosses of each were brother and sister were the vice presidents of the GSA. That he was a vice president as well. That every mission we ran was real but the outcome was more than petty revenge. They all were real missions from the GSA given down through JONAS and LEMUR. He explained how him being dead ha been an act. How they put a holographic disguiser on a dead body and how he watched everything unfold. He told us how everything was real and the lessons he tried to teach us and that we learned on our own, were real. And we couldn't help but believe him. And he told us how sorry he was for playing us like they did.

"So there was never really a feud between family?" Shark asked and Nick shook his head.

"There was never a real JONAS or LEMUR?" Cricket asked and earned another shake of the head.

"Then what of our parents?" They both screamed and Nick hung his head.

"I can answer that." Kevin's boss told us, putting a hand on Nick's shoulder. "That wasn't any of us. Rebels that were trying to learn our secrets. Secrets your parents knew. We took them out but unfortunately, they got to your parents first."

"And what about my brother?" Viper yelled in anger. "JONAS killed him!"

The LEMUR boss laughed loudly and pulled a boy over to his side. "He needed that cover to work for us…"

"Hey Mathew." The boy said and Viper ran blindly to his brother and hugged him tightly. Family's broken and then repaired…

Nick walked over to us and didn't say anything. He didn't know how we would react to this news. That he basically broke our hearts in faking his death so he could help this exam run smoothly. I reached out and hugged him and Joe smiled, doing the same.

"Everyone has a spot high up in the GSA, if you want it!" The LEMUR and JONAS bosses yelled, people instantly running to them.

"What about you boys?" The GSA President asked us and I looked to my brothers, both of them shaking their heads.

"I think we prefer to retire to the quiet life of being rock stars and being a family." I told him and Nick nudged me, an idea in his eyes.

"But if you ever need us..."

"Python, Danger, and K2 can answer that call."
