Chapter four:
The unsuspecting town is going about their usual business on the evening that the rebellions have picked to do an attack on the evil king.
The rebellion group sneaks through town all wearing cloaks.
Those not night assassins creep through the alley ways while the night assassins use the roofs to leap silently through the town without getting noticed.
Once both groups make it to the palace they surround it staying out of sight and get ready for the attack when the signal is given.
Mello glances around with Near at his side. He raises his hand making the rebellion group tense ready to attack. He watches the two guards at the front gates waiting for the expected door to the palace to open so the guards can shift so the next two guards assigned to next guarding come to switch with the current ones. He spots the palace doors opening and he lowers his hand quickly.
The rebellion group charge and some of them stay out fighting the guards that came running to help with the attack while others from the group race inside only for the numbers to shrink the further they go in as some of them stay behind to fight the guards coming at them.
Near, Mello, L, BB, and A sneak into the palace with all being night assassins making it easy for them as they head on deeper into the palace.
A is a male who is BB's lover, he has light brown hair that goes down to just an inch below his ears. He is wearing a navy blue pull over hoodie and slightly baggy jeans. His sea blue eyes are unique as they turn pale blue when depression takes over and he has the power of wind.
The five move through the palace looking for Light by first heading to the throne room.
The plan is to get Mello alone with Light because Mello can kill Light without sacrificing his powers or life.
BB, A and L took on the guards at the doors to the throne room so Mello and Near can move forward.
Inside the throne room Near expected to take on at least one or two other guards but they get in only to have the door closed and locked behind them.
At the thrones is Sayu and Light like they had been waiting.
"You came here to kill us." Light states. "But you will not succeed."
Mello and Near get ready for a fight with the cloaks still hiding their identities.
Light creates a ball of fire in his hand as he stands up from his throne. "Die! You will not harm either of us!" He throws the ball of fire at the two.
Near acts quickly and he cups his hand like he's holding a ball only to throw a small jet of water that is like a small ball at the fire ball putting it out with a few extra drops of water landing on the ground.
Light clenches his teeth. "You're Miskumi's kids?!" He hisses.
Mello and Near shed their cloaks.
"You bet!" Mello answers. "And we are here to kill you to set everyone free from your evil rule as well as getting revenge for our mother." He glares at Light.
Sayu stands. "You won't be able to kill us. In fact it's good you're here so we won't have to hunt you down to kill you."
"We'll see about that." Near this time answers.
The two charge towards Sayu and Light.
Sayu ends up fighting Near while Mello ends up fighting Light.
Light and Sayu made sure of this so they are not at any disadvantage or in risk of losing either their life or powers when they kill the other two.
Sayu throws a ball of water at Near who jumps out of the way only to throw his own ball of water at Sayu hoping to at least knock her over so he can move in to kill her.
Light sends a snake like thing of fire at Mello but Mello dodges only to send a small blast of fire at the snake like thing of fire destroying it as their power is equal.
Sayu and Near are also equals in their magic.
After a bit of fighting all of them are hurt, tired and close to finishing the other off.
Near spots a chance to move in closer so he does and sends a kick to Sayu's side knocking her to the ground. He quickly darts forward grabbing the knife he kept hidden till now and he stabs Sayu.
Sayu gasps in pain as her eyes go wide with tears forming. "Light!" She gasps as Near pulls out the knife. She looks to Light reaching towards him in a last desperate attempt to be with him in her dying moments.
Light hears his name and his head whips to look to Sayu. "NO!" He screams and his target switches from Mello to Near.
Mello notices this and tries to warn his lover. "NEAR WATCH OUT!" He screams and rushes to try to stop Light from killing Near.
Near is weak and he manages to back off of Sayu only to fall to his knees on the ground dropping the knife. He looks up and sees Light coming straight at him but he is defenseless right now.
Light, outraged causing him to not think properly, creates a fire ball more intense than any other he has used in this fight and he sends it right for Near who knows he has no time to dodge.
Near shuts his eyes tightly expecting the pain to come….. Only it doesn't. He opens his eyes and sees Mello lying on the ground in front of him. His eyes tear up as he realizes what happened. "MIHAEL!" He cries as tears come to his eyes. He reaches for Mello brining the blonde into his arms the best he can.
Mello looks weakly up to Near. His face is now scarred mostly one half of it as well as a little down his body to show that he got hit by fire that isn't his own as well as being quite powerful making it enough to burn him at least a little.
The only advantage of having their powers is that, the youngest with the power of water can use the oxygen in the water to breath under water and the oldest with the power of fire can stand fire without getting burned as long as it is not from another person that has power over fire though even then it has to be powerful to do real damage like the damage Mello got from the attack. Meaning that because Mello was hit by powerful fire sent from Light well he got hurt.
Near's tears fall like waterfalls. "No! Mihael! We'll get you healed! Please! You'll be alright!" He pleads.
Mello gives Near a sad smile. "I'm sorry." He croaks out and shakily places a weak hand on Near's cheek. "I didn't mean to hurt you." He croaks out. "Please don't cry. Can I see you smile again? My beautiful angel." He is straining to talk.
Near quickly wipes his eyes with the back of his sleeve on one arm then gives Mello a smile even though there are still tears in his eyes. He gives Mello the most loving smile possible. "I love you Mihael." He uses Mello's real name of course.
"I love you too Nate." Mello manages to say. "Please." He pauses a second as it really is straining to talk. "There is nothing you can do but I'll always be with you." He pauses for another second. "Kiss me. Kiss me until I am gone. Please." He begs as tears form at his eyes.
Near nods and is still crying. He leans down and places his lips onto Mello's own to kiss him until he is gone.
Mello kisses back happy that he gets to spend his last moments with Near. His hand falls from Nears cheek only to fall limp as his life escapes his body.
Near kisses Mello for two seconds after his spirit has left his body before he breaks the kiss. "I will avenge you." He quietly promises Mello.
Light growls making Near look to the upset king who had been with Sayu while Near was with Mello. "She died because of you! I didn't even have time to say goodbye!" He snarls as he gets up spinning to face Near and prepares another attack. "Die and go deeper than the deepest pits of Hell!" He sends the attack at Near who tries to send some water at the fire before it's too late.
But then him and Mello are swallowed up by darkness.
Near spots a man who has black hair that is almost bald on one side but long on the other in the darkness.
His violet eyes give a sympathetic look. "I may work for Light but he has done enough damage to you. Don't worry about me." He says then vanishes.
Near finds himself and Mello's body outside of the town before he knows it. He blinks and glances around then looks back to Mello's body after finding the others in the rebellion group are there… or well most of them. He hunches over Mello's body and cries over his lovers dead body.
The rebellion group stays a respectful distance away letting Near mourn for his lover as they watch him cry with his shoulders shaking as he cries.
No one dares to disturb him right now and Matt checks who is missing.
The ones missing for the girls are two girls named Melissa and Helena.
The ones missing for the guys are three guys named BB, A and L.
Matt looks back to Near in sadness and sympathy. "We'll avenge him." He says hoping Near heard him.
Near nods softly and brings Mello's body closer to his as he continues to cry until he can't anymore. He rests his head on Mello's chest and falls into darkness.
