Gundalian Victory

Chapter 3: Betrayal

A/N: I'm back! Just like I promised, Lol. It looks like I will have all the time in the world to write stories in the next 5-7 weeks. This chapter is definitely where the story reaches a new level. As always, I hope you enjoy and I do apologise now if I get the original storyline wrong.

Neithia

Approaching Final Shield Generator

Marucho's POV

I was surprised; I never thought it would be this easy to destroy the Neithians. It had only been a week and we were already at the final shield. I mean, after all, even though they thrive with knowledge and power, their bravery, which often leads them to stupidity could even give the most cowardly Gundalian an easy time as it is recklessness that usually gets them killed. I felt as if the point had been proven as soon as we left the command ship, as death and destruction were everywhere, as the final shield was almost within our grasp.

This destructive power…. It feels so dark but good, I don't know what Ren has been teaching us but it is powerful. These Neithian scum will kneel before me before the day is up.

My thoughts were only strengthened while I watched the Neithians flee like the cowards they are.

"How dare these Neithian worms run from us! Well, they will not escape, after them!" I said, as I, Ren and the rest of the Brawlers, excluding Jake, chased after them along with their bakugan.

As if on cue, I felt my body tense with anticipation and a dark glow emit over my vision as I charged. I don't know what was happening to me but all I could do was smile darkly, as Akwimos ripped the Neithians to shreds and their blood only added to my dark pleasurable state. I wasn't the only one it seemed as everybody, shared my intentions and will entirely.

Now, all that remains is the Neithians pathetic final shield and their pathetic army. I thought, as I prepared to destroy the final shield and claim victory for the empire of Gundalia.

Jakes' POV

What have I done, what has made me kill so many innocent Neithian lives?

I myself had no answer to this question. I felt a feeling of regret and sickness wash over me, as I thought about all the horrible things I had done over the past week.

No, I've got to put this behind me otherwise I will certainly die by a Gundalin or another brawler's hand.

However, in that exact moment, the other Brawlers, whose corruption of darkness and hate had been complete, charged the fleeing, defenceless Neithians. I felt the irresistible urge to join them but was only able to resist just barely.

What's happening to me; has the Gundalians brainwashing and manipulation started to overwhelm me?

I knew straight away, at that moment, I needed to escape the Gundalians and the dark brawlers or my corruption would surely be complete. So while the brawlers were distracted, I had no choice but to put my life in the Neithians hands and escape to the safety of the Neithian palace.

I hope I'm not too late to change this war and bring peace to Neithia. I thought as I started fleeing with the brawlers hot on my tail.

Shun's POV

I felt the power and darkness overwhelm me as I attacked the Neithians. It felled as if I was indestructible and nothing could destroy me. Of course, I had my doubts about the Gundalian cause since day one, but now I see that those doubts showed how weak I once was. This dark, irresistible power shows how much better and right the Gundalian cause is.

If only I had believed in the Gundalians much sooner, maybe I would have already destroyed the Neithian vermin.

However, my pleasurable thoughts were interrupted as I saw Jake charging towards the Neithian army. At first, I thought he was attacking them, but of course I have always had my doubts about Jake and how much of a coward he is. My suspicions were confirmed as I realised he has just betrayed us. Unfortunately for Jake, I don't like traitors.

After alerting everyone to the betrayal I saw angry and menacing faces from all the brawlers, especially from me, as I knew what was going to happen.

"Then we have no other choice I'm afraid, we must kill the traitor!" Dan declared, as we all shared very dark smiles.

However, my lustful mood decapitated as we all realised Jake was already too far away to stop. As a result, I then felt the darkest emotions radiating from within me.

Perhaps there will be another time to get my revenge; after all you can only hide with the Neithians for so long, Jake.

So with that, I headed back to the Gundalian command ship to plan the attack on the shield, and get my revenge with the other Brawlers.

Ren's POV

For once in my life, with a dark happiness, I realised that the Brawlers were completely and irreversibly devoted to our cause. So in any case, it is only a matter of time until the Neithians become our slaves. Who knows, we might even kill all the Neithians for fun.

It seems that, for once, Emperor Barodius will be pleased with this turn of events.

The thought seemed to bring a dark smile to my face as I followed the Brawlers back towards command.

A/N: Well, there you go. It seems that Jake has finally come to his senses, however the question is: For how long? As always hoped you enjoyed this chapter, look out for the next one.

Cheers,
