Chapter 6 - Meeting Phantom Group

Felix

Felix stepped through the gate leading to floor 25 and got an angry look on his face "it's go time" he muttered as he and his friends walked through, giving off such a vibe that the criminals around them back away as they approach a large building "For a secret organization plotting to kill all the people who are weaker than them they aren't very inconspicuous" Kal said "I mean a big building at the end of a pathway?" Felix turned and looked at a small rundown shack "there" Felix said and he walked inside where they saw a hole in the ground. When they reached the bottom they were met with several people punching them in the face. When they woke up Felix looked around and saw Cas talking to a cloaked figure with black wings sitting on a throne "Damn it Cas" Felix said as he stood up, the guards standing around rushed to stop him in his tracks, only to collapse from suffocation not even a second later. "Oh look" the cloaked figure said joyfully "they're awake" he continued as he stood up from the throne, and began walking right up to Felix "call me Death!" he said as he stuck his hand out, Felix took his hand and shook it, reluctant to start a fight now. "Why are you here in my lair?" Death asked "I'm looking for my friend, Locus Drevil" Felix muttered, Death laughed "If we had a Drevil here, we would have brainwashed them a while ago, he'd be no good to you" he explained, Felix grabbed Death by the throat "Where is my friend!" he yelled and threw him at his throne "Well, that settles it, kill them" Death said and thousands came from outside of the room and the fight began. Cas and Death were watching from the throne as his members of phantom were slowly getting killed by 4 people.

Locus

"Hey Bree, why are we going to floor 30?" Locus asked "Well unless i find out something different then we are gonna wait for Felix if he shows up" Bree said "Hey Bree we have a situation on floor 25, apparently Felix is attacking phantom should we head their and stop him after all he won't make it out alive even with his abilities" a man said as he ran up "Hmmm fine let's go, but we are not to interrupt the fight in anyway, we are just going to watch" Bree said and then they started heading off to floor 25 "Locus you still have a good handle on your eye?" Bree asked "Yes, why?" because im gonna want you to bring that building to the ground!" bree said with a smile. 

Felix

Slowly but surely the members of Phantom were falling but as they got tired the fight got harder, Felix fell to one knee and pulled a strange object out of his pocket, upon activation the object launched out a single red flare that somehow phased through the roof. The fight went on and the 4 of them were getting more and more tired, and the Phantom forces started falling less and less. Suddenly the 4 gained a sense of stimulation and they began fighting again as if they had never gotten tired "Glad we didn't miss the fun!" a voice said from the doorway, when Felix looked over he saw Star Oren, upon closer inspection, however, he saw the rest of the Oren family. That would explain the stimulation, Felix thought "Come on, help us fight" he yelled and the Oren family joined the fight. Up from the throne Death watched in anger as his forces died "Cas, if they begin to run, let them, all I want is that damned Felix!" he yelled, Cas looked over and nodded, refusing to speak, as Cas knew that talking to Death while he was this angry, he it was dangerous enough just looking at him. 

Locus

"Well look at this, we finally made it here" Bree said as she looked over a cliff side and saw the Phantom complexe when suddenly they all saw a red flare looking thingy fly into the sky above the complexe "well looks like this is a good time to help out" Bree said as she pointed out the obvious "ma'm it seems like the Oren family has shown up to help Felix" a man in black said as he appeared behind Bree "ok well even so they won't get away from Phantom very easily" Bree said with a smile as she turned towards Locus "Well are you ready to bring this building of theirs to the ground?" Bree said with excitement "Well here goes nothing" Locus said as his right eye turned solid white with red runes on it "Compress" Locus said as he held out his hand and motioned down. The Phantom building started to shake as the bottom floors started collapsing in on each other "it's starting to collapse! Keep it up!" Bree said.

Felix

As they fought Felix saw a piece of the floor above them fall and suddenly the entire room began to shake, the floor above beginning to crash down on top of them "Everyone get out!" Felix yelled "Follow the Oren family out." Soon the group was clear of the shaking room and running down a long narrow hall, Felix was taking up the rear. Suddenly Death stood in front of Felix and Cas was standing behind him. "Where do you think you're going?" Death asked in an ominous voice, the others had already gone ahead. Felix stood and made a sword "I was going to leave, but now…" Felix readied the weapon, he was tired but still able to fight "now I'm going to unleash hell" he dashed forward cutting at Death, his blade went right through him. "What?" Felix asked in astonishment "His power allows him to turn incorporeal, in other words, you can't hurt him" Cas explained tauntingly, Felix turned and swung at Cas but a shadow emerged from Cas' sword and stopped Felix's sword mid cut. "Damn you both" Felix muttered through gritted teeth as he began trying to fight the two powerful beings, due to the lack of space and his opponent's speed his powers were basically ineffective. The amount of cuts appearing on Felix's body during the fight were growing quickly, soon Felix fell to one knee tiredly and muttered "Help me Locus, please" before standing back up and getting back to the fight once again. 

Locus

As the building Collapsed Locus started feeling a pain in his Right eye "how's the eye feeling" Alexa said as she kissed Locus on the check "It hurts a little but i will be fine" Locus said with a little smile "looks like everyone is leaving the building, even the Oren family is leaving just like i wanted" Bree said as she pointed towards the ground a few thousand feet below them. "This building is almost completely collapsed i can even sense the underground half of the building collapsing in on itself" Locus said as his arms started to vibrate for a few seconds then suddenly stopped "the building is completely collapsed, it took me about 30 minutes but that building has no floors left except what felt like a massive lab or something even further below but the elevator won't be working anymore"Locus said with a smile. "We should probably go down there and check to see who all made it out, if you see any phantom members down there just end them quickly without to much trouble please" Bree said as she looked a Damian and damian took out his wings, Bree and Damian flew down there as Locus used his ability and everyone else floated to the bottom.

Felix

As the fight wore on, Felix knew he was losing but he stood strong, knowing he had to keep them busy, Felix gave up on striking at Death and began dodging his attacks, only striking at Cas and his shadow. Eventually Felix fell to his knees, knowing he had lost, Death laughed and Felix fell unconscious. Felix woke up later in a cell, 8 feet long and wide. He heard voices talking and people whining, he was in a prison of some sort. He sat up, trying to figure out why, he remembered fighting two people "Who was it?" He muttered to himself. Before he could figure it out he heard footsteps approaching his cell. "You're awake?" A voice asked, Felix recognized the voice "Cas?" He asked, his voice hoarse "Where the hell is this?" He asked, Cas laughed "You're in Phantom's floor 50 prison" he answered as he tossed food into the cell "you need to eat, you'll need your strength in order to fight" Felix stood up in confusion "Fight? What do you mean fight?" He asked, Cas turned his back to him and laughed as he walked off. Felix sat and ate, trying to figure out what was going on.

Locus

When the building collapsed Locus, Bree and the others moved down the cliff side to greet the Oren family and everyone else who made it out of the building alive, Bree and Locus were the first one's to get to the bottom of the cliff and when they got here they were greeted by the Oren family finishing off what was left of Phantoms forces which was only about 30 of them. "Lil bro, you wanna take care of the rest of them for us?" Bree asked as she looked over at Locus with a slight smile on her face, "It would be my pleasure" Locus said with a smile and within seconds all 30 of Phantoms lackys went flying up into the air. The Oren family looked over at Bree all of them with a confused look on there faces and Bree pointed to Locus, Locus looked down to see them staring at him and all he could think to do was smile and wave hello. "So how long has it been since we last met?" Sky said with a smirk on his face as he smiled and waved back at Locus "Well it been about two years" Bree said as she laughed, "Who's that!?" Storm asked as she walked upto Locus and took a good hard look at him. Bree walked over and picked up Storm and hugged her "remember when i told you i was going to go look for someone special?" Bree asked as she put storm down "Yea!" Storm said with excitement "well this is who i was looking for.... He is my little brother!" Bree said with a smile "Oh really? I didn't know you had a little brother" storm said as she walked back behind Sol. 

Felix

As soon as Felix had finished eating, two guards came and opened the door "Come with us prisoner, it's time for the fight" one of them said, Felix sat there for about five seconds, he was thinking about what the guard said, Prisoner the word loomed over Felix, he felt himself become short of breath for a second as if the word carried weight to it, as if a ton of bricks had hit him all at once but the word still loomed over him "I have never been someone's prisoner before, it almost feels daunting almost like im powerless now" Felix said to himself as he stood and followed them reluctantly. Cas dropped down "I'm feeling nice, so I'll explain, Floor 50 is a test all by itself as it's known as the powerless floor, so we use that as an advantage, nobody here can use their powers so you have to rely on your own physical limitations" Cas explained as they entered a large room with weapons lining the walls "So we give the prisoners weapons so that they can kill each other in an arena, make sense?" Cas asked, marking the end of his explanation, Felix nodded. Cas waved his hand and the guards left "pick two weapons use in your fight, good luck Felix" Cas said and he left the room, Felix immediately went and grabbed a short sword and a sheathe, he looked around and his eyes settled on a bow and 50 arrows, he made his way over to them, picked them up and slung them on his back, he then made his way to a now opening door.

Locus

Sol looked behind him at Storm "Jeez you get shy quickly" Sol said with a smirk, "It's good to meet you, i knew Bree was looking for someone but i never thought it would be her little brother, I also never knew she even had a little brother" Sol said with a smile. Locus teleported in front of Sol and held out his hand to shake Sol's hand, Sol shakes Locus' hand "Wow you really are apart of the family" Soul said with a laugh "So do you know what made the building collapses?" Sol asked as she looked at Bree "Well that 'reason' is right in front of you" Bree said as she pointed and Locus "No way, what's his power?" Sol, Sky who appeared outta nowhere and Star said at  the same time "Well i'm not gonna give it away so does anyone wanna duel him, just a friendly duel i don't want anyone to get majorly hurt" Bree said with a laugh. Night Oren stepped forward " i think i would like to test him out, even if he is a lot younger than me" Night said with a smile "Do you accept?" Night said with a friendly smile "Sure, i have heard of you, you have the ability to create darkness around your enemy to make it look almost pitch black but i also heard you can see through your own power" Locus said with a smile. Night smiles and Darkness surrounds both him and Locus "well now that you cant see lets see how you do against me, everyone else can see what we do because i allow them so they will see what you can and will do" Night said with a slight laugh "You know i don't have to see you to know where you are? And just to prove it you are standing to the left of me and you have a locket  in your hand" Locus said with a smirk and Locus' left eye quickly changed from blue to solid white "How in the-" Night didn't get to finish his sentence as he was interrupted by Locus "Reversal" Locus said the second his eye completely changed with his hand out towards Night, Night went flying toward Locus and stopped a few feet before Locus "Increase times 3" Locus said and instantly Night was flat on the ground and unable to stand or move "What did you do!?" night said, he was stunned by this turn of events "Simple, i increased the gravity around you my 3 fold" Locus said "now this darkness is annoying, it's not even darkness it's just smoke basically, Increase 20 fold" Locus said and instantly the darkness disappears "Ok ok you win i can't even move, and i can barely t-t-talk" Night said as he struggled to get the last word out and just as quickly as the gravity increased the gravity around them went back to normal and night stood up and stretched "That's one scary ability if you ask me" Night said as he looked over at Locus and started walking towards him to congratulate him on the easy win but suddenly stopped when he noticed Locus' left eye was starting to go back to normal.

Felix

As Felix walked out the door he saw a colosseum with several other people coming through doors as well along with a crowd above, Death stood above them all "Hello everybody!" He yelled and the crowd cheered "I am Death and this is a fight to the death! Our fighters will have to murder each other without their powers is everyone clear?" The crowd cheered yet again "Good, let the fighting begin!" With that Death sat down and watched the ensuing battle. Felix watched as people began slaughtering each other like it was nothing great, Felix thought, criminals that criminals caught. As he finished his thought someone charged towards him with a cleaver, Felix stepped back and the man charged into the wall, he turned around and swung at Felix, who jumped up and landed on the flat end of the cleaver, forcing it down. The man cursed at Felix and began to swing his left arm, in one swift move Felix raised his sword and lobbed off the man's hand, he screamed in response. The scream was cut short as Felix slit his throat open and moved to the next threat. About 50 meters away Felix saw an archer, he ran towards the archer but ended up with an arrow in the leg, quickly Felix sheathed his sword and unslung his bow, nocking an arrow he put the archer in his sights, drew back and released the drawstring. The archer fell where they stood, an arrow protruding from their chest, Felix carefully took the arrow out of his leg, ripped off a piece of his pants' leg and wrapped it around the wound. As Felix looked around he saw people dropping rapidly, the fight wore on until there was only him and one other person, Felix grinned as he saw him. The person was wearing strange armor and was slowly approaching him "Finally! When I heard that they collected a new impossible prize I had assumed it would be you or Locus" Bellamy said as he approached, Felix laughed "I tried taking on Death and Cas, alone" he replied, Bellamy stared at him "you idiot, come on" he said and he jogged towards a wall with Felix behind him. Death stood up angrily "What is happening!" He yelled as Bellamy punched a hole in the wall and the two of them ran out, "I thought you couldn't use powers on floor 50" Felix noted as they ran "My dad gave me a crystal that he found on floor 51, it bypasses floor 50's power removal, now we need to get down to whatever floor your friends are on" Bellamy explained, "We'll meet up with them on 37, let's go!" Felix yelled and they ran through the gate leading to floor 49.
