Nyx dualista, the ruler of Ouranos.

Nyx managed to overthrow the royal family after the death of Varah due to his unique abilities, being able to control both Light and Dark atomic energies, making him a force to be reckoned with.

His involvement with questionable forces garnered him a lot of dislike, sparking a resistance movement that lasted a measly 3 months, lead by Crane Rroyd.

Back in the competition hall, Ray stares at ths sword pointed directly at his throat, and takes a step back.

Most of the crowd has already ran off, the only people remaining being the guards, who already have their guns out and pointing at ray by this point.

Josh looks at the both of them, completely mortified as they are surrounded by guards.

"Guess that little kid was right for once, what a suprise." Nyx murmurs to himself.

"What the hell is going on?" Ray asks, his eyes narrowing.

"Isn't it obvious? You're coming with me."

"I-is this some sick joke?" Josh asks from behind Nyx.

"Stand back, kid. Unless you wanna get hurt too."

Josh slowly flicks a switch on the gun, and takes out something from his pocket, loading it into the gun's chamber.

Slowly and shakily, he points the gun to Nyx's head.

"I-i dont like how this is going..."

Ray looks suprised and appalled

"Josh what the hell are you doing?!" He asks through gritted teeth.

Josh looks at him, slightly offended.

"Did you think i'd leave you here?!"

Nyx lets out a sigh, not looking back at Josh.

"I suggest you drop the gun, kid."

Josh starts shaking uncontrollably, but still manages to pull the trigger, putting a hole in Nyx's head. His body collapses on the floor, causing everybody to gasp and yell. The world around them goes still

In the commotion, Ray kicks back, hitting the guard behind him square in the crotch. He uses the oppurtunity to grab Josh and jump off the stage with him, running off.

"Dont let them get away!" One of the guards yells out, beginning the chase.

"Tend to his honor!"

"Off with their head!"

Neither of them look back as they rush to the exit.

"Dude, dude! We are fucked!" Josh yells out.

"Get a hold of yourself man!"

"Whatever the fuck is going on, we have to get our asses outta here!" Ray yells out, Josh's mind not easing a slither.

"We just fucking killed Nyx, they are never gonna let us get away!" He screams, fear having seeped into every ounce of his being.

Suddenly, Josh seems to recall something.

"Jake, i have to call Jake!" He yells out, reaching into his pocket and pulling out his phone, typing in his brothers number.

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

The phone rings, and Jake picks up.

"What the hell do you want now you little shit?" The voice on the other side of the phone asks.

Josh yells into the phone.

"Prepare for evacuation 3, do it now!" He says in a hurry. "I may or may not have done something kinda fucking stupid!"

Jake lets out a sigh.

"Are you fucking with me again? Listen i ain't got time for this bullshit, Uno peace is airing right now-" Josh cuts him off. "This isn't a fucking joke dude! I need help!"

After making it to the exit, they quickly try to find the nearest oppurtunity to make an escape.

Ray smashes a car's windows and jumps inside, opening the door and letting Josh in.

Jake speaks up over the phone.

"What the hell did ya just break?"

"Josh! Do you have a fucking escape plan here or are we dead?!" Ray yells out, hitting the gas on the car.

Jake speaks up once more.

"I get the feeling you aren't really joking anymore." He says.

Josh grips the phone tighter as he looks out the passangers windows, seeing multiple military vehicles on their tail.

"I'll explain everything when we get there, just be fucking ready, weapons and everything!" He screams angrily into the phone, shutting the call and throwing the phone out the window.

Ray looks at Josh through the rear view mirror, still calm but extremely tense.

"Even if we make it to your house, where the hell are we going after?!"

Josh continues looking out through the front mirrors, staring intently at the military cars rapidly approaching.

"Jake will have a map with him, but if i had to bet, we are gonna have to go south into no mans land if we wanna leave the country." He says wistfully, already having began to regret what he's done.

Ray keeps his focus on the road, contemplating.

"The second we make it to no mans land, aren't they gonna start shooting at us?"

Josh bites his tongue.

"Yeah, we are gonna start getting blasted with light beams the second civilians are out of sight, but we might be fine." He says, sounding doubtful.

They eventually roll into a ran down block, the opposing side blocked off by something metallic. Its a large, reinforced vehicle, the backside of it open like a van.

Josh peers his head through the front window and points to the vehicle.

"That's our ticket outta here, Jake should be inside, get ready to jump!" He yatters.

Ray looks at Josh as if he's insane.

"Are you asking me to jump out the damn car?!"

Josh gives Ray a serious look.

"I totally am."

He says, his tone eerily calm all of the sudden.

Josh looks to his right and smashes open the door, sending it flying towards the military trucks behind them, causing a small collision between them, unintentionally buying them some time.

The tension is high as their car approaches the armored vehicle right infront of them, but time is of the essence.

Right as they approach the vehicle, Ray slams the brakes, the friction of the tires hurl their ears. But in the end, they both jump out of the car and into the vehicle infront of them, Josh scraping his knee on the side of the door.

Once inside, they see Jake in the front, who wastes no time hitting the gas, not looking back to see if the doors are closed.

Jake looks back at them as he drives.

"What in the absolute fuck did you guys do?!"

He screams.

Jake Ford, the older brother of Josh Ford. A middle school dropout who has been raising his brother by himself since a young age. Unlike his brother, he keeps his skills hidden and is thorough, seeking perfection with each craft.

Josh cranks open a large case that's inside the vehicle, dropping multiple weapons, from assault rifles to snipers.

"We dont have time to talk about it, just drive to the border, we have to make it to no mans land!"

Ray taps Josh on the shoulder, he looks mortified.

"Hey uh... Didn't we kill Nyx back there?" He asks him.

Josh looks back at Ray, the realization only now kicking in.

"Shit, we did!"

Jake flares up

"You shitheads did what?!"

Ray points to a window, specifically towards a helicopter that has begun to tail them.

"I uh... i dont think dead people can do that..." He says slowly,

When Josh looks out towards the helicopter, his jaw drops. On top of the helicopter is Nyx, standing atop it as if its solid ground, the bullet hole Josh put in his head nowhere to be seen. He stares them down intently, holding out both swords, atomic energy conversing at their tips, aimed right at them.

Ray quickly grabs one of the sniper rifles, his thoughts scrambled.

"I dont know how the hell he's alive, but he knows we are going to no mans land! Hes charging up his attack!" He says while shoving the barrel of the rifle through a tiny hole.

Ray takes the shot, his aim is right on the money, a shot that should pierce his heart.

But before he has any chance to perk up, his bullet bounces right off of Nyx, his chest sprouting in dark atomic energy, forming what can only be described as armored plating of straight darkness. Dark atomic energy is one of the two solid energies, it's mostly used as armor, as it takes a great deal of effort to concetrate it into an attack.

Ray looks at Josh in dissapointment.

"Duude... we are fucked."

"Reaally fucked..."

They begin rapidly approaching the border, noticing that a barricade has been set in place.

Josh yells right into Jake's ear, grabbing onto a sniper for himself.

"Drive right through that sucker!"

Josh and Ray stare at eachother, knowing that this is where all of their luck has lead them.
