Capítulo 14: The Three Monsters

Age 1991

"Yang no!" Anga yelled out horrified.

"I'm... I'm sorry..." The younger brother said slowly.

Yang couldn't look his brother in the eyes as he allowed his body to morph and change... He dropped to his knees as it happened. His eyes became black, and iris became orange... He began to throw up all the blood in his body as it morphed.

Slowly, rocks began to form out of his body, coating it in a thick layer of protection. He grew in size growing more muscular and at least three feet taller, now almost reaching ten feet! The rock armor around him hardened and gained a black coating to it, making it look similar to obsidian. Several large spikes made out of the material grew out of his back. A row of them appeared on his knuckles making it appear as if he had spiked brass knuckles.

When it was all said and done, Yang had become a weird, and scary looking, rock monster.

"Yang..." Anga said sadly. "You fool..."

"Seth was right..." Yang's voice came out almost like a growl as he stood up to his full height casting the group of horrified people in his shadow. "My mind has changed... I feel... I feel darker... Yet, I still know who I am, and what I once was... Despite that, I can still feel a grip on my mind... Something urging me to kill you all... I can't tell if I made a horrible mistake, but this feels right. Like it was meant to be... Please, Anga... Infect yourself with the crystal. Join me, brother. Please? We can save mom!"

Anga stared at Yang with a look of disappointment. "My brother is dead..."

"So be it... You've made your choice..." Yang said quietly as his now orange eyes peered at the enemy. "I'll do my best to make sure none of you suffer. I'll kill you all quickly."

"I'm glad you could see things my way..." Seth said reaching out a slim and boney hand. He placed it on Yang's shoulder patting him on the back. "Now... Let us remake this world. Starting by defeating the enemies... The lifeforms of chaos! The beings known as humans?" Seth bellowed out.

"This looks like trouble..." Kitsune hissed out.

"You think..." Ken said giving the teen a deadpan stare.

Hero watched the two monsters closely. He let a slight hiss escape his lips as he placed a hand on his side. "I... I'm not at a 100%" He muttered out. "Maudite. You should stay near Jackson-"

"I'm not leaving your side..." The twelve-year-old girl announced out being sturbon.

Hero went to say something but stopped when he saw the determined look in her eyes. 'Huh... She looks like me, when I was a kid...' He thought to himself as he shook his head. "We're so screwed."

'If you are ever in danger and for whatever reason, you don't think Jackson will be able to come save you guys pull out that box and hit the button...'

Hero reached into his pocket feeling the small metallic box Dawson had given him. "Not yet... I don't know what it is... I'll use it when I have an opening!" He decided as he nodded his head slightly. "Zero, and Mr. Storm might be able to handle them on their own, so I might not even need it..."

Jackson let out a heavy sigh as he pointed his sword at the two new monsters. "Its a shame. I was starting to get to like your group... But I see now that you've become a threat to the human race. In that case, I'll do my duty as an Enforcer, and stop you here and now!" He announced out.

Seth let out a small chuckle as his grotesque face managed a smile. "Then... Let us begin-"

Hero let out a gasp as Seth appeared in front of him swinging his clawed hand down. Everything seemed to move in slow motion as the teen's eyes got wider. 'I-Its so quick! I- I won't have time to move-'

Zero brought his blade down blocking the strike as his foot shot out and kicked Hero in the chest launching the kid, as well as Maudite away. "Enforcer! You get the other one!" Zero bellowed out.

"On it!" Jackson screamed flashing forward as he swung his sword at Yang. Yang raised an arm blocking the strike, but moments later a very pissed off Anga jumped in slamming his fist straight into Yang's face and throwing the monster back.

"Yang. As your older brother, it falls on me to be the one to put you out of your misery!" Anga shouted out as tears streamed down his face. He charged forward slamming his fist up and knocking the monster into the air.

"Wow. He might be able to actually handle that on his own!" Jackson said taken aback. He glanced over at Zero who was clashing with Seth. "Who... Who do I help?"

Zero gritted his teeth as he swung his blade down, only for Seth to suddenly vanish. "What?" Zero felt a fist slam into his gut breaking some of his ribs as he flew back.

"This is amazing!" Seth announced holding his arms out. "My Attribute is so much stronger. I can now jump in and out of the mirror world in quick succession! I'm invincible!"

Zero sliced his sword up firing out a wave of white energy but Seth simply slapped the attack away one-handed.

"He... He's so strong..." Kitsune muttered out in shock. "Even stronger than the one we were having trouble with earlier!"

"His durability and power don't matter..." Hero said simply.

"What?"

"No Hero's right!" Irene said with a realization. "If he turned into a monster then he got the crystal weakness! It doesn't matter how strong he is! If we just break that gem, he'll die instantly!" She said proudly.

"What?" Hero said taken aback. "Huh? I didn't think of that!" He said sheepishly.

"What? Then what were you going on about?"

"Ahh.. Not important." Hero turned away as he watched the battle. "The question is... Which one do we target first?"

Zero sliced his blade up once again only for Seth to easily block it. "Ha!" Seth laughed out. "Pathetic!" He slammed his fist straight into Zero's gut hard enough to leave a hole in the man's gut...

Zero coughed up blood as he jumped back. He began breathing heavily as he glared at the monster. "I never liked you... I never liked any of you. I refuse to believe that I'm weak. I hold the title of Zero! I'm the strongest Samurai around! I am the best..."

"At one time, you might have been a real threat. But now. Well, now you're nothing." Seth said smugly. "Even the Enforcers are more of a challenge then you are!"

"That's a lie!" Zero screamed out in utter rage. "I! I am a Samurai! A Samurai who holds the rank of Zero! I fought on the great battlefield against the Enforcers! I am! I am the strongest there is!" An image of a small girl came to his mind as he let out a yell of rage. "I'll kill you all!"

Zero rushed forward slashing his sword up.

Seth reached up slapping the sword away and sending it out of Zero's hand. "Too weak!"

'Blam!'

Seth's fist slammed into Zero's head hard enough to actually crack the sound barrier as the man's head snapped back. If he was a normal human, he would have died instantly. Hell even if he was a superhuman he still would have most likely died instantly.

Zero's body flew back through the air seemingly in slow motion as his eyes glazed over.

And then he saw it. His life began to flash before his eyes.

He saw himself first being born.

He saw himself training for the first time to wild a sword, at the age of four.

He saw himself kill his first-ever opponent, at the age of seven.

He saw himself fight in his first-ever war, at the age of nine.

He saw himself hold the body of his older brother close to him, as his older brother passed away, at the age of ten.

He saw himself hold the body of his younger brother, as he too passed away, at the age of twelve.

He saw his friends die all over again...

And again.

And again.

And he saw himself receive the rank of Zero, the highest rank his clan allowed...

He saw the village burn to the ground...

And... And he saw the body of his baby... His daughter... The daughter he lost, in the fire... The fire the Enforcers had caused...

He saw himself lead his tropes into battle...

And he saw himself lose that war. Nearly killed by the Enforcer known as Ward.

And he saw himself saved by Master Storm... Leader of the Enforcers.

And he saw his life. All of it. His miserable life... The life that he held onto. The life he fought for. He saw the life of Zero. The man who was supposed to be the strongest Warrior...

His clan broke up, now nonexistent. The Samurai had truly lost. They weren't a part of the Nation of white. They were now apart of the Nation of red.

He saw himself give in, and become a mere sword for hire...

'You're weak!'

'Damn Samurai!'

'Even the Enforcer's are more of a challenge than you are!'

'Zero...'

'Yukon... You are the Nation Of Whites burning Hope. Our ancestors came to this land to defeats the Red Emperor... But they were stopped by the lesser of the Enforcers. Our ancestors were left stuck here, and so for over a thousand years, our order has existed in enemy territory. Our grudge now rest with the Enforcer. More namely the leader of the Enforcers. Storm... We will exterminate him, and his family... His bloodline must not exist. A Storm is the worst thing in this world. Do you understand Yukon...'

And he saw himself be saved. Saved again and again by those damn Enforcers.

'Typical Enforcer. You never know when to give up.'

Again and again he was saved. Saved by Master Storm. Saved by that jackass Jackson. Over and over.

"Ken... You remind me so much of..." Zero's eyes glazed up at the roof of the cave as he continued to fall back in slow motion, feeling his body begin to give out. 'I guess I'm just that weak-'

'It is up to you know. For over a hundred years we breed, in order to make the ultimate warrior. Yukon. We gift you with the ultimate rank. We gift you the rank of Zero... From this day on you are the warrior known as Zero. A warrior stronger than any other.'

"Die!" Seth bellowed out slicing his hand down. "Gah! What?" Seth looked down finding Jackson Storm next to him now. Jackson smirked slightly as he lifted his blade up easily slicing Seth in half in a single motion.

Hero shot forward wrapping his arms around Zero as he sucked in air, inflating his body, and becoming a fleashy ball, and used himself to cushion the Samurai. Small boney pipes came out of his back as they propelled him forward dragging himself and Zero away from the fight.

"Saved- by an Enforcer..." Zero coughed out. "And that man... Jackson Storm... His blade actually managed to slice through the monster while mine failed... Why am I so weak..."

"Yo! Mr. Samurai dude! Are you alright?" Hero asked as his body deflated and the bones inside of him were pulled back in.

Zero let out a slight growl as he jumped off of Hero. He wobbled slightly falling to his knees as he spat up more blood.

"Take it easy!" Irene said running up. "It's very likely your insides are badly injured... Also, you are probably suffering from a major concussion after a punch like that... Just sit down and let Jackson handle it. He's the strongest one here. He can handle it."

Zero's eye darted over to her for a brief second. "Let the Enforcer handle it... Are you saying I'm too weak?"

"What! No!" Irene said. She glanced over to Hero shooting him a look. He just shrugged.

"Don't ask me. He's being weird." Hero said shrugging.

Zero crawled forward reaching out, and reclaiming his sword as he stood back up. He stabbed the blade into the ground using it to hold himself up. He watched the battle between Jackson and Seth...

Both fighters seemed evenly matched as they went back and forth. Jackson had a massive white aura around him that crackled with power and lightning was quite literally pouring off of him.

"At this rate I might have to actually get serious!" Jackson yelled giving a smirk. "You'll force me to transform beyong my limits!"

"So..." Zero hissed out. "You still had this much power left?" He wondered out loud. He turned away from the fight as he glanced on the ground. "I'm still just so weak... It seems I still haven't learned my lesson."

"Lesson?" Hero said raising an eyebrow.

"In this world. The only thing the truly matters is power." Zero said reaching down and picking something up.

"That's not true." Hero said shaking his head.

"You only say that because you already have power boy... You don't even realize the gift you have inside of you. The power you get from being a Seraphin. Most of my clan would kill for a chance to have that kind of power."

"Well, your clan sounds quite foolish." Hero said casually. He turned to look at Zero and instantly froze.

Zero let a slight smirk come onto his face as he shrugged. "I suppose it is..."

And with that, he drove the orange crystal he had picked up straight into his heart...

Capítulo 15: The Battle Of Two Brothers

Age 1980

That fateful day...

Yang ran forward after his older brother as he let out a laugh.

Anga ran away also laughing. "You'll never catch me!" Anga announced jumping over a branch. He ran forward crashing down as his feet slipped out from under him.

Yang jumped forward also slipping as he landed next to his brother. Both boys stopped and let out loud giggles as they now laid down in the snow, both staring up at the black sky.

"What do you think is out there?" Yang asked.

"I already know the answer," Anga said smugly.

"Really? What is it?"

"I'll never tell!" Anga announced.

"Big bro why!"

Anga let out an evil laugh before laying back down. "It's amazing."

"What is?"

"Life?" The fourteen-year-old boy said smirking. "I mean... I'm fourteen now! I'm qualified to receive a letter!"

"A letter? From who?"

"The Enforcers!" Anga announced pointing up to the sky. "I'm gonna join them! And train to become the best I can. I'll get stronger, and I'll carry myself upwards! I'll keep on climbing, and reach the Royal capital of Red! And I'll become the next the Emperor!"

"That... That sounds amazing..." Yang said awestruck. "I wanna be an Enforcer! I wanna keep climbing."

"Then you're in luck!"

"I am?"

"You're thirteen! If you train hard then next year you'll be of age to receive a letter! Then! We can go together!"

"Let's do it!" Yang said smiling.

Age 1991

Zero stabbed the crystal into his chest as he stared at the ground unable to meet the shocked, and hurt expressions of Hero and Irene who stared at him in horror, and disapproval.

The other recruits were to busy watching Jackson's fight to notice the change...

"Zero!" Hero said in shock. "Why did you-"

"Enforcer..." Zero said quietly. "Before the change begins and while I am of sound mind there is something you should know."

"Uhh? What is it-"

Zero drove the blade as deep into Hero's chest as much as he was physically able, and actually raised Hero up running him through all the way, as his handle broke through Hero's chest, and Zero's hand went all the way through Hero's back. "I hate Enforcers..." Zero said with a determined look on his face. "And I hate myself for beginning to like you all... I'm Zero... I am the best. I was built to kill you all."

Hero coughed out spitting up blood as Irene screamed his name in shock. This got everyone's attention as they all stopped what they were doing.

"Oh God!" Hero said in pain as blood poured out of him. "This is the worst pain-"

Jackson's eyes widened when he saw the blade sticking through his recruit's chest. Then his eyes met Zero's black and orange eyes. "Oh Zero... You... You didn't..."

"I did," Zero said softly. "I'll do what I must. I won't fall behind you any longer. This... This is the only way it could have ended."

"You should watch your back Enforcer!" Seth called out attacking Jackson from behind. Jackson let out a curse and turned around continuing his fight unable to help his recruit.

Zero's body fully healed as he turned on his hills and swung his blade throwing the body of Hero off of his sword. Hero slammed into the wall next to Anga as he smacked into the ground with a loud and sick, sounding, thud.

"Kid... No..." Anga gritted his teeth as he glared at Zero. "After I deal with my brother. You're next."

Zero didn't say anything as he closed his eyes and allowed the transformation to begin. It started off like the rest with him throwing up his blood, but quickly it became clear Zero's wasn't going to be normal...

His hair changed becoming a bright silver color as it grew down his back getting longer and longer. His forehead split open as a third eye appeared. His back was also torn open as a pair of wings exploded out. Two horns came out of his skull and his arm began to bubble up and morph growing around his sword, and actually fusing it into his body.

Most terrifying was the massive amount of power that was now just rolling off of him in waves causing eveyone, even Jackson to stop and stare in shock... It was like standing next to a massive tsunami that would crush you if it came down... All four recruits knees shook, as the hairs on their bodies began to stand up... Even an amateur like Kitsune knew that this guy was the strongest thing they've seen... Stronger than even Dawson...

"It... It's huge!" Irene gasped out being blown back by a tremendous wave of power. "It... It's almost as big as Master Storms was!"

Zero opened his eyes as he let out a sigh. "It would seem I didn't becoming a mere monster. Strange. I seem to have become something more." He let out a chuckle as he stared down at his body in curiosity. Zero smirked as he swung his arm out. His wings flapped and his third eye buzzed around. "So... This is what power feels like..."

Jackson frowned as he stared at the man. 'Crap... He jumped up in power... But... It honestly isn't that impressive... If a Captain was here they would be able to wipe him out... He's definitely stronger than a Vice-Captain though... I have no idea if I will be able to defeat him on my own...'

"Ahh yes!" Seth announced proudly. "Zero! You have become truly beautiful!"

Zero smirked slightly as he vanished suddenly appearing next to Seth.

'I didn't even see him move!' Jackson frowned as he took a step back. 'This... Is gonna suck...'

"Well, Enforcer," Zero asked. "Shall we have our long-awaited battle?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Seth laughed out. "Slaughter them, Zero! Show them our mighty pow-"

"You're annoying." Zero sliced his blade instantly tearing the crystal on Seth's hand in two. "Burn in hell, you ugly freak."

Seth let out a scream as his entire body erupted into fire, and he was burned down to absolute nothingness... Not even ash. Yellow flames danced off of Zero's blade as he continued staring at Jackson.

"...Oh... No..." Jackson said slowly.

"Go on... Power up. I'll wait..."

"We're dead...." Kitsune stated.

1982

That fateful day...

"Take this!" Anga announced throwing out a powerful punch that Yang easily blocked.

The two brothers slid away from each other both breathing heavily.

"We need to practice more," Anga said shaking his head. "At this rate, we'll never get into the Enforcers... Its been two years and still no letter!"

"Maybe... Maybe this dream was hopeless..." Yang said quietly.

"Don't say that!" Anga yelled out. "No dream is hopeless!" He stated. "Now... Let's get back to practicing."

Age 1991

"Yang!" Anga shouted throwing out a mighty punch that easily shattered the sound barrier. Yang caught the fist easily as he held onto his older brother's hand.

"You know... You really got the short end of the straw." Yang said quietly. His other hand shot out slamming into Anga's gut hard enough to leave an indent! The man fell to his knees coughing up blood as he glared up at his younger brother. "Your Attribute is Super-Strength," Yang said calmly as his foot fired up upper cutting Anga straight into the air. "That is a trait found in every superhuman. Plus. The Corruption seemed to have boosted my strength and stamina by over a hundred folds... It's basically like I have your Attribute, but better. And of course-" He raised his hand which caused the rock underneath Anga to rise up and slam him into the roof of the cave. "I of course still have my own Attribute. It's kind of funny in a way... You were always better than me as kids. No matter how hard I worked you always stayed ahead of me... And yet neither of us could complete our dreams. We never became Enforcers... Just useless guards of a shitty town. And we failed at that too letting our own mother get injured. And now. Knowing there is a way to save her you choose not to take it-"

"The Corruption is not the right option..." Anga gasped out. "Simply feeding it to her as it is, would turn her into an abomination of hatred itself..." He slowly managed to get to his feet which were easier said than done, since his insides were definitely a mess... "I'm sorry... But there simply isn't anything we can do for mother... But it isn't too late. We can have this stuff researched so that in the future something like this won't have to happen again."

"There is no future!" Yang bellowed. "I hate you." He said it calmly as he glared at his older brother. "It's your fault things ended up this way."

"That's just the Corruption talking-"

"You were supposed to be the one on guard duty that night!" Anga instantly went quiet... "You never showed up though... So I had to do it instead... If... If you had been there you would have been able to stop it!" Yang gritted his teeth. "You could have saved her! You can save her! But you won't!"

Anga looked down at the ground with a sad look. "I would rather mother die a human, and get to keep the good memories I have of her, then her become a monster, and be put down anyways."

"I'm going to kill you..." Yang said slowly. "All you've done is taken away from me! You lied to me about this mission. You lied to me about your power. You lied to me about mother. And you lied to me about the Enforcers! You said we would be able to join them! But we never did! We never got that letter!" Yang screamed out.

"Clearly you're being taken over by the Corruption."

"This is all me!"

Anga gave his brother a serious look as he slowly brought his arms up. "Yang... I'm sorry. I won't be able to save you. The only thing I can do for you now is put you out of your misery."

"Misery..." Yang smirked as he got into his own battle stance. "Well come on... I'll show you misery."

Anga shot forward as fast as he could as he threw out a powerful punch. "Thirty-Steel-Bars-Break!" He announced. His fist slammed into his brother's head.

Yang hissed out as the punch actually knocked him back. "I'm impressed! I actually felt that one!" The rocks around his arm morphed and shifted becoming a rock sword. He swung his new arm out nearly decapitating Anga, but the man thankfully ducked under it.

Anga instantly jumped forward wrapping his arms around his brother as he ran forward, and crashed straight into one of the massive stone pillars that were inside the room. He used all of his power to charge forward and force Yang, and himself through it! The moment they crashed out on the other side, he twisted his back, spun, and threw Yang across the room and straight into a wall.

Yang crashed into the wall but was back up in seconds as his body healed all the damage on him. 'I need to break his crystal...' Yang stabbed his arm forward expanding it with the rocks, and sent it straight through Anga stabbing into the man's gut. Anga cried out but had no time to react as Yang swung his arm down and sent Anga flying back and straight through another pillar.

"You'll never get anywhere unarmed," Yang announced.

"T-Thanks for the advice!" Anga yelled as he wrapped his arms around the pillar he had crashed through. Then instantly he picked it up swinging it around like a massive sword.

Anga slammed the pillar straight into Yang. Yang tried to block it but the force was strong enough to actually break the floor underneath him, and cause his feet to sink in slightly. Yang still pushed on though, and with a mighty punch shattered the pillar.

"Looks like that didn't last very long-"

Anga shot forward slamming his fist straight into his brother's rocky skull. "Fifty-Steel-Bars-Break!" He screamed out. The punch was so powerful it actually ripped the monster's head clean off.

Yang's headless body shot backward, as a new head began to reform. He raised his arm up firing up a large spike that shot through Anga's side nearly dropping the man! Anga clutched his side as he let out a loud gasp of pain.

"You can't win," Yang said as his orange eyes glared into Anga's normal eyes. "Any damage you inflict on me is healed good as new... Meanwhile, your own body is starting to slow down, and crash. If I don't kill you the blood loss will..."

Anga gritted his teeth as he stood back up. "You really have changed..." He muttered out.

Age 1983

"It's pointless!" Yang cried out punching a tree. "No matter how hard we work still no letter! Are we really that weak."

"Yang it's alright. I'm sure that next year you'll-"

"No! They won't pick us!" Yang growled out. "We are nobodies... The chances of us getting picked are practically nothing."

"Yang... Strength isn't the only thing they look for in an Enforcer. You also have to be calm, and level headed. Or have a lot of potential-"

"What! Are you saying that I don't?" Yang questioned.

"No, I was just-"

"Save it." Yang turned around as he began to head back to the town. "Face it. Neither one of us are good enough to become Enforcers..."

The younger brother walked off leaving the older brother by himself. Anga let out a heavy sigh as he reached into his pocket pulling out a light blue envelope. "Neither of us is good enough." He muttered. And with that, he ripped the envelope in two. "I'll stay with you Yang. Even if it means I don't get to become an Enforcer. After all... We're brothers. We've always done everything together."

Age 1991

"Yang. I'm sorry..."

"Sorry... Sorry for what. You didn't do anything. You were just yourself. And that's just the kind of guy Anga is." Yang said coldly.

Anga looked up as he gave a sad smile. "I'll save you, Yang. So don't worry about a thing. Your big brother will finally do his job right for once..."

Yang gave out a growl as he held up his arm. It began to change shapes becoming a massive rocky drill. "I'm ending this here."

"So am I..."

There was a moment of pure silence as Anga held his hands together. A white aura surrounded his body...

Then in a flash both brothers fired forward echoing out a massive crack as the sound barrier was shattered!

"Anga!"

"One-hundred-Steel-Bars-Break!" Anga screamed out throwing out his absolute strongest punch!

There was a bright flash, and seconds later Anga's fist slammed straight through the homage crystal inside of Yang's chest!

Everything stopped as the air slowly settled down...

"So..." Yang said quietly. Cracks began to form all across his body as he stared at his older brother. "I guess this is goodbye..."

"For now... But..." Anga said before coughing up a load of blood. He stared down at his own chest which had the massive spike sticking through him.

Yang managed a small smile before his body fully covered in cracks, and crumbled away into a pile of rocks...

Anga fell back landing on the floor as he looked up towards the roof of the cave. "But Yang..." He said quietly as he felt his throat fill up with blood. "I'll be joining you soon..."

And with that both brothers left this world, leaving behind all the pain and misery they caused.

They were without their happy ending.
