Acronix looked out at the swamp as they headed over it. Though noticing a bit of chaos that has went on. But he didn't dare to mention it. Though Krux seems to notice as well and motioned Machia to land. "We are certainly going to visit someone." Krux said as he pushed down the ramp. He quietly walked down the ramp with his brother in tow. Acronix wondered who his brother ment, but he didnt want to question just in case Krux made him stay at the dome. Thankfully he didn't.
Acronix looked back. But realized that Cyrus was not with them anymore, which make him frown. He fixed his cape properly, but stopped before he collided against his brother. "Wheel tracks...seems like something more happened while we was away.." Krux explained as he knealed down. Gently touching the ground and looked up to where they lead. One away from the cell and one towards the cell. Noticing many footprints. "A chase." He muttered before getting up. But continued walking down the wooden paths.
"Possible chance the ninjas may have found the swamp brother." Acronix said, which Krux already knew. "That isn't a doubt. We just need that final time blade, then we are unstoppable!" Krux said in triumph. "But how are we going to get the time blade? It never disappeared into the time vortex, I would of sawn it", Acronix mentioned to him, speeding up to the male, but slowed down once he got close behind him. "Certain people would know where it is. They aren't very fond of being quiet." He replied to the younger.
Acronix glanced back to the vermillion who is starting to follow them. Whoever these people was, must be hard to contain if so many vermillion had to show up. He looked forward, but sighed quietly. He reached his hand out to his brothers and grabbed a hold of it. Krux looked back at him and stopped. "What is it?" He questioned, though he was interupred by Acronix hugging him. "I'm sorry....i didn't mean for that to happen yesterday...i didn't know what came over me..", the younger muttered quietly.
Krux frowned at his sudden sadden mood and hugged his twin back. "It's alright. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that", he whispered to his twin. Acronix lightly smiled. Though he was annoyed with the armor. Krux pulled away from the hug and gently tug his brother along, Acronix already instantly fell for the small trick with Krux showing a softer side. Acronix looked around the unfamiliar place as they walked.
Though they could hear talking from the small cabin. Though krux heard two unfamiliar voices along with the two familiar ones. He grew slightly angry before he had the vermillion hault. Quietly listening to the conversation inside. "We hidden it inside the ancient library of honomesú (how does one spell it-?), where they could never find it" krux heard Ray said before a more quiet voice spoke, which he knew was Maya. "You must go, if krux knows about this, he-"
He quietly walked over to the door and opened it, scaring the 4 inside. He took off his mask and grinned. "Could force you to retrieve it? Good suggestion Ray." Krux said. Though Acronix just quietly stared at Ray and Maya, slowly taking off his mask. "You....kidnapped them..?" He muttered and looked to his brother. Krux didn't acknowledge him to avoid the question. "Though we are going to need you to retrieve the time blade for us, no questions asked." He said coldly.
"Forget it Krux! We are done serving you", Ray barked back at him. Standing his ground infront of his family. Though Maya could see the anger slowly growing in Acronix's face. "Acronix...", she whispered softly, hoping that he would hear. "On the contrary." Krux started, which he took out the red time blade, just before Ray could officially attack him, he was stopped in mid air. Having Krux to kick him back to the ground. "If you want your precious master to survive, you WILL retrieve the time blade for us. And it seems like the reveral blade is the only way to undo the time punch." Krux said with a grin. Machia brought wu inside, which had the Smith family to gasp. "Master!" Kai and Nya yelled, "wu..", Maya said right after then in disbelief.
Acronix just quietly stared at his brother, though in reation, he moved the wheelchair that contained the elder master. "You KIDNAPPED them?!" He said in a more harsher, and louder tone. Which did caught Krux's attention nearly instantly. "I did what had to be done", Krux said lowly. Though Acronix just about had enough of it. But he tried to compose himself. "But taking our parents away from us when we was only 5 and 3 is cruel!" Kai barked, which had Acronix blank out from his mind.
Krux had no time to shush the fire master, mainly because Acronix actually landed a full blown hard slap across his face. Which silenced everyone. Even Machia looked away from the scene. Letting out a small 'ouch' under her breath. The handprint was clear and red, and surly would sting for a while. Acronix shook off his hand as it did hurt his hand as well. "This should be the only warning for you." He muttered to his brother as he turned and walked out. Krux blinked and held his cheek, feeling tears prick his eyes. Enough he shook it off and walked after him. "Make sure they get to the fucking ship!" He ordered rather abruptly.
"Dont you DARE follow me!" Acronix barked, hearing his brothers footsteps come close. "Acronix just listen!" Krux pleaded. Though before Acronix could reply. They heard a loud scream from behind. They both turned around to see Ray had picked up Kai. "Dad no! I'm sorry! Don't! DAD!!!" Kai pleaded as much as he could, but of course didn't save him from being thrown into the pond near the small house. (Has i pleased the gods? Amyiah_Oka uwu)
The twins looked at each kther quietly, yet snickered at what Ray just did. Though he got smacked in the back of the head by Maya. Nya helped her brother out of the pond, absolutely confused of what just happened. Though Acronix seemingly forgot what had happened and just continued to walk, through Krux had Machia guide him to the ship while he handled the master.
A little bit later, they did set course to the boiling sea. Which wasn't as far of a journey. Though Acronix knew time was growing short as he looked at his pocket watch, quietly looking at the picture he has of him and his twin when they was younger. Thoufh he closed it with sadden memories had appeared inside of his head. He quietly looked to Maya and Ray. Seeing how they missed their children. Which kinda upset Acronix. He missed his parents.
"I heard your voice....you was calling out to me...", he muttered, looking up at the sky. "Mother...please give me a sign you're here with me...your son misses you..." he quietly said, though nothing happened. He just looked out to the lands before him. His lip quivered a bit. He sniffed quietly and rubbed his eyes, the green paint came off and he kinda now regret it. Though he took off the rest so it wouldn't look off. Being quiet, he look to the ground and sawn the ground move past, though tears still slipped down his face.
He let out a deep sigh before he cleared his head off from any lingering thoughts. Having his mind go somewhere else, though it landed on Cyrus. Smiling, he decided to sit on the ground with his arm on the side and his head laying on his arm. Though it was uncomfortable, he didn't care. But he felt his eyes grew heavy, which before he knew it, he was waken up abrutly. Which made him jump up. "Y-yes?!" He said in a slight panic.
"Wake up. We are here." Krux said to him lowly, which Acronix nodded. Thpugh he was handed his time blades. "The only way for you both to puncture through the harsh conditions of the boiling sea. Is by a fusion dragon. Which only the dragon blade could do." Ray explained as he took the blade away from Krux. Krux blanked for a moment before he barked at him. "Hey! What are you doing?!-" "this IS a trap", Machia loudly says before she jumped down from her seat, she ended up grabbing the blade and swiftly kicked Ray to the ground.
Acronix just watched it unfold as ray argued about how it was the literal key to the time blade. "Brother..you know Ray isn't dumb...trust him when he says that its the key." He whispered to him. Krux groaned in response. "I suppose..it's just one blade" he muttered, watching the former master of fire take the blade back and turned to his children. His mind cut off their talking and looked to his brother. Thoughts circled inside his head.
Though he gently held his stinging cheek with his only free hand. Feeling a bit upset that his brother, the one person he thought to never land a hand on him, actually smacked him. But knowing he deserved it since he had hurt his brother before. Though his thoughts came to a end when his brother hugged him suddenly. "Im sorry that I've hit you...i didn't mean to...", Acronix said sadly. Though Krux could already tell he had been upset for a while. Because his paints were off.
"Was you crying brother..?" Krux asked in a caring tone, even with the way he acted now, he still cared. Gently holding the youngers cheeks. Acronix nodded shamefully, which made Krux hug him tightly. "I hate to see you cry brother. I really do. I'm sorry.." he said softly to the younger. Acronix only just let out a small whimper in response to him, which made the elder frown. Dispite with the others watching them, he had sat down with Acronix basically in his lap. Just like the old times when Acronix was ever this sad.
Though the armor got in the way, and Krux really couldn't do much about it at the moment since they was on a mission. But he didn't mind at all with it because he finally gotten a little bit of time with his brother. That the plan wasn't on his mind constantly. He knew the dangers of time travel. He just didn't care for the warnings his mother gave him and his brother. He wanted her back, if it's the last thing he would do.
Though even with the amount of time they spent in that one position, Krux never realized that he had fallen asleep with his brother in his arms. (I'M SORRY THIS IS TOO PRECIOUS) But he did realize when Machia has to wake them both up, though she seemed a bit annoyed. Though Krux felt more grumpy, mainly because of how old he was. He missed his youth, how he could move around more quicker and be more energetic.
He quietly pushed his hair back and got up, helping his brother up. "They should be arriving shortly." Machia said to Krux, who nodded to her words. He picked up the red time blade while his brother picked up the other two. Thankfully they was not removed from them while they was out. Krux motioned Acronix over as he walked to Wu. Already seeing his double cross coming to play. He didn't really care if wu died, the man is already ancient as it is.
Though he was startled by the water suddenly bursting upward. As the fusion dragon got in view. "The children are safe!" Exclaimed Maya. "And they got the time blade", ray backed her up with the same excitement in his voice. Though krux grinned darkly and glanced to his brother. The elemental siblings landed on the boat after the dragon was gone. "Master wu! We got the time blade--", kai said before being interupted. "Ah ah ah- no can do", Krux said to the fure master, who stopped in shock.
"What? What do you mean?! You said if we get the time blade, we could hwlp master wu!" The hot head barked at him, but the time blade was quickly taken away from him thanks to Machia. "About that. I lied." Krux said coldly. Which Acronix had no power over this. "Wha-" the firehead tried to say before Ray stepped in on this. "That was completely uncalled for Krux!" He barked at him. Through Krux only shrugged, he could see the flame in Ray's eyes.
He took the green time blade away from his brother, who had no time to react when Ray grabbed the dragon blade from his son and ran at him. Jumping into the air and swinging the blade down, it collided with the green time blade and Krux used that very energy inside the blade. Using the Time Punch against Ray, which knocked him back right into his wife. "Tsk. Even with old age, you're still weak." Krux said as he handed the blade back. "I'm fine...just....it caught me off guard", ray said to his wife, who was worried as fuck by now.
(I'm writing a lot of this at 2 in the morning-)
Machia gave the other time blade to Krux, who greatfully held it. His eyes turned red and yellow, which now the same very colors of lightning formed around him. "It's time brother", Krux said as the lightning died down quickly. He used the red time blade to stop the masters in their tracks. "Leave them here, Commander Machia, take us back." Krux demanded not caring about them anymore. Machia did as so and lowered the ship before actually taking off again back to the swamp at a faster pace.
Acronix knew it was nearing the end.
Acronix knew he wouldn't be able to see Cyrus Borg again. Or PIXEL.
Acronix knew he has no other choice.
Acronix knew all of this.
By the time they got there, fighting was already taking place. Thoufb Krux took no time into commanding Machia into going with the final faze of the plan. Acronix looked down at Cyrus, instantly catching his eyes. Acronix frowned, he didn't want to go with this plan. But he had to. He jumped off the ship with his brother and waited for the Nindroid to get down to the last few numbers. Though Krux stopped them three. "Zero. As in Zero chance at completing." Krux said with a grin as he walked to one side of the gian Mech. Acronix followed suit to the other side. They placed the blades in their correct slots and backed up.
Though during the meantime, Acronix put his phone into Cyrus's pocket securely. "I'm sorry..", was all he said before he pushed the Samurai off the platform. He felt his check ache with pain as he followed his brother into the mech...
They finally timetraveld. To the past. 40 years ago. But Acronix heard his mothers voice again.
"Nixy darling, promise me you would always be my sweet baby boy?", the faint voice called out to him. Though as much as he wished he could talk to her. He knew it was only a voice.
He was a bystander though the battle. He couldn't do much.
Even with the incident with the fire and water siblings, he couldn't do anything to stop this. He just watched his brother fall more and more into the darkness.
Though they had a unexpected change of plans. Causing Krux to timetravel again. "We should head far into the future, where no elemental masters knows us." Acronix suggested. Which made his brother annoyed. "You're so obviously obsessed with the future." He complained, but let his brother do so.
"We cannot let you do that, Krux and Acronix." Wu suddenly said, which made the twins turned around. To see Nya and Kai there too. "What?! No! This ends now!" Acronix forced himself to say in disbelief.
"Don't ever think you wouldn't be stopped." Wu said as he already got himself into a battle with Krux, Acronix fending himself off with the other masters. Though he felt the mech shift, making him fall down. He turned back to see wu had gotten a time blade. The reversal blade. Acronix watched as his brother tried to get the blade, but got hit with a time punch. The elder twin flew back to his brother and hit the wall. Whilst Acronix tended to his brtoher, wu had his pupils leave the mech with the blade. "As you said Acronix. This ends now." Wu said. Though acronix got up and rushed at him with a sword. Feeling angered that his brother was hurt.
But Wu tripped the younger time twin, making him tumbled, yet turned around to hopefully stop himself. The blade dropped.
But to Krux, everything was like in slow motion. He watched as Wu pushed his brother out of the Mech with his staff. "Acronix!!" He yelled out in a range of mixed feelings and ran to the opening.
Seeing his brother falling down into the void of the vortex....
