Chapter 153 - Amoung the flames (1)

Apparently, my note never got published with my one chapter. All chapters from here on out will be only 1k to 1.5k words due to how much little things I have to keep track of. ~Hawkin

Glynda: "Logan, what's wrong?" Glynda asked when she heard Logan swear, worry evident since he hardly ever swears.

.

Logan looked around to see if anyone heard him, finding they were alone in the courtyard that night. Sighing in relief, Logan turned towards Glynda with a severe face.

.

Logan: "The Brother Gods have been brought back to Remnant." Logan told her, not beating around the bush. "And only one group can do that without the Relics."

Glynda: "Magus." Glynda said, horrified. "But why? Why now?"

Logan: "I'm not sure about it, but it explains that mission I got."

Glynda: " 'The end is nigh', you think it has to do with them bringing back the brother gods?"

Logan: "I know of no one else that can pull something like this off." Logan spoke. "If he had, he better have a good reason for it or I'll-

.

[Mission Start: The end is Nigh! The brother gods have been summoned to Remnant. Prepare to be teleported.]

.

Logan: "What?!" Logan shouted before he was encased in a blue light.

Glynda: "Logan!" Glynda cried out and reached for him, only to be met with air as Logan disappeared.

.

When Logan disappeared, everyone around the world of Remnant felt something stir inside them. Something primal, something they had all long forgotten. A primal fear that eclipses all others. The fear of the Brother Gods.

.

.

Magus: "Everyone! Seal them now!" Magus shouted as the Brother Gods were forcibly pulled out of deep space.

.

The homunculus all started the massive sealing matrix as the Brother Gods descended. By the time they landed, the sealing matrix had activated and the crystals around them began to drain their power rapidly. Once the Brother Gods landed, they stumbled and were enraged when they found out what was happening to them.

.

Nox (Darkness): "Fools! You dare to tread where only we should resign?" Nox shouted, his voice reverberating throughout Remnant.

Lux (Light): "Arrogant mortals, you will not succeed!" Lux shouted as well.

.

As the two Brother Gods prepared to use their divinity to purge Magus and the Homunculus for their actions, a blue light shined down in between them. Before either side could react, Logan shot out with his sword and [Ace of Spades] in hand. With a downward slash, Logan knocked back Lux and kicked back Nox in two moves.

.

Nox: "You are that mortal, the fake savior that's ruined our plans." Nox said once he noticed Logan.

Lux: "Why do you see us as the enemy? We are Gods! We're only trying to take what is rightfully ours!" Lux asked as he recovered from the slash.

.

Logan didn't say anything. For he received a message from his system. One that made his eyes water and a feeling of dread encompass his heart. He knew that after this, everything would change.

.

.

Glynda was panicking. Logan had just disappeared and she only had one place in mind where he could have gone. Oasis, where the Brother Gods most likely were as well.

.

Glynda: 'Magus and the Homunculus must have brought the Brother Gods back to Remnant.' Glynda thought as she turned and ran to find Ozpin and Salem. 'But why? Why did they bring them back? There is no gain from bringing them back. After what they did to Ozpin and Salem, their plans were put to rest.' She thought as she ran to the elevator that lead to Ozpin's office.

.

Once she got to the top, Glynda used her semblance to force open the doors. Inside, she found Ozpin and Salem staring out the window. Their backs facing the elevator.

.

Glynda: "Ozpin, Salem!" Glynda shouted at them when she saw them.

Ozpin: "We know." Ozpin spoke in an even tone.

Glynda: "Then we have to-" Glynda started to say then was cut off by dodging an attack for Salem who shot a ball of fire at her.

Salem: "There's no need to shout." Salem spoke in an even tone, even after attacking Glynda. "For the Brother Gods are absolute."

.

Then they turned and Glynda gasped. Their eyes, usually full of hope and light, were dead and dull.

.

Glynda: "Who are you?" Glynda asked as she pulled out the [Wand of Yggdrasil] Logan gave her and pointed it at them.

Ozpin: "We are who we are." Ozpin spoke in a detached tone.

Salem: "We are servants to the Brother Gods." Salem spoke as she cast a fireball at Glynda.

.

Glynda dodged out of the way again and sent a fireball of her own back at them, but Ozpin stepped in and used his cane, The Long Memory, and batted away the attack before rushing towards Glynda. Glynda, knowing she couldn't take both of them in a 2-on-1 fight fairly, did the smart thing and cheated. As Ozpin came into strike Glynda, She pulled out the [Witch's Dream] that Logan made her and shot ice rounds at Ozpin while conjuring a mud wall.

Ruby and Summer were screaming bloody murder. Their eyes were burning a hole in their heads as if someone lit them on fire. Wiess and Tai were clueless as to what to do since they had no idea what was happening. But as they screamed in agony, they were forced to watch countless scenes play out before them.

.

.

Logan dodged to the side as Lux shot a beam of light at him. Logan retaliated with several shots from his {Ace of Spades} while deflecting an attack from Nox. Nox then conjured a ball of darkness and formed it into a sword to clash with Logan's.

.

Nox: "You cannot win!" Nox shouted as he clashed with Logan.

Lux: "Just surrender, mortal-" Lux spoke up before getting a rock to the face courtesy of one of the Homunculus.

Nox: "Insolent wretches!" Nox roared as he tanked a massive icicle to the chest. "You will pay dearly for this!"

Logan: "Shut up already!" Logan shouted, having enough of their cheesy line like they were stereotypical villains.

.

Nox and Lux didn't like his tone and attacked Logan at the same time, causing Logan to dodge away and slash Lux. Lux stumbled and Nox covered for him by clashing swords again with Logan. Logan deflected the clash and shot Nox point blank. Logan then disengaged them and fell back to Magus who was protecting two golden crystals.

.

Magus: "We're nearly there, Logan!" Magus shouted to Logan through the wards he had set up to stop the Brother Gods. "A few more minutes!"

.

Logan cursed, he could barely hold his own now with the help of the Homunculus. But with the way things were going, Logan would either lose or be gravely injured.
