"Nike. You really need to talk to Ryz about what happened when he is well enough ok. I understand now what happened with my family and why you did it, but it will take a long while before I can forgive you even though you lost control after just coming back." "I understand. We are so sorry. We wish we can go back that day and bring them back. But we can't." "Well I never saw their bodies but I assume they disintegrated. There was nothing left not even ashes." "Wait a min. You said they just disappeared right? Your not sure if they are really dead?" "Well no. I assumed they were because I haven't seen them in years." "I might have an idea of where they disappeared too then. I just have to get control enough so I don't do it again. If they are where they think, they should be fine. For now." "Really? Are you sure? Well I won't get my hopes up." "Good idea. Its been years since you saw them last. Mind if I stayed with Ada somewhere close by so when the kid gets better I can talk to him." "Yeah that would be best." He went to where Ada was staying.
I was staying the with Ryz to make sure he is doing ok which he was. "Hey Zel. You should get some sleep. I'll stay here with him." "Y-yeah thanks." "Oh crap. I have to bet Kairi to watch your brother. I have to go to work." I went out of the room and got Kairi then said bye to my boys and left for work.
"Hey you finally made it but barely." Said my boss. "Sorry boss do we have an emergency?" "Yeah we have a new villain in town. Half fox half human." "Ah another half breed huh. What should we do? Do we know what he wants?" "No one knows what he wants but according to him he will be at the half breeds village which is here in 2 days." "Crap. I wish we knew what he wanted. What does he call himself?" "He calls himself Red Fox. Since its like a reddish brown fox coat." "I see. Ok then I know where most of them end up which is that open area. What shall we do to prepare here?" "Just prepare your normal gear." "Yes sir. Oh and is brand here?" "Yeah he's in the back." "OK cool."
Hours later it was time to go back home. When I got back home, I went to talk to Axel since he was a fox as well.
"Hey Axel and Luna. Sorry its been awhile." "Its fine Kiran. What's up?" "I'll get straight to the point Axel. There is a reddish-brown half fox and half human who calls himself Red Fox. Do you know anyone by that name or who looks like that?" "Oh man. Seriously? You said reddish brown fur right?" "Yeah. You know him?" "Yeah sort of. He's my older brother. He always wanted to call himself Red Fox. I thought it was stupid. Why is he here?" "Not yet. Not for another 2 days. Do you happen to know what he wants?" "Well my brother disappeared when our parents died. He was supposed to watch me but as you know I was abandoned and I found Luna who was as well." While I was talking to Axel, I was having a vision again. "Are you ok Kiran?" "Huh? What Axel?" "I said are you ok." "Yeah just a little headache. Thanks Axel. Would you mind coming with me to see the guy. He might be looking for his little brother. Making sure you are ok." "I doubt it. But I will go anyway. Won't we Luna?" "Mew." "She agrees."
I went back inside to tell my wife and the cyborg kids what was going on and the vision I saw. "Where was the place you saw Kiran?" said Zel. "I saw the field where the villain's usually end up. Then I saw you two in danger that's when the vision stopped." "I see. Did you see anyone that would cause us harm?" said Ryz. "Well I heard about this villain that is deciding to pop in 2 days from now. He is Axel's brother. He hasn't seen him in years we are thinking maybe he wants Axel but we aren't' sure. I don't want to see you kids hurt ok?" "We will do our best." Said Zel.
Its now 2 days later when the villan was supposed to come. It was around noonish so we decided to head out. "Kairi protect the kids if anything happens ok?" "You know I will Kiran. I know where to hide." "Ok go there now. I will come get you when its safe." So she and the boys went in after I gave them each a kiss and a hug. "OK lets go Axel and kids."
They had just gotten to the field when the villain showed up. "Kids get behind me." I said. It was me, a couple of my buddies from work, Axel, master, and the kids. "Kiran I have an idea. Would you hear me out? I mean he is my brother. I want to try to talk to him." "Just be careful. If I see you might be in danger I will come up there with Luna." "Yes sir. Thank you." Axel flew up to his brother with his fox fire.
"Hello brother. Its me Axel." "Oh little brother. I see you are fairing well. How is mom and dad? Oh that's right I killed them." "You what? You're the one that killed them? Why?" "Why? They were way too overprotective they wouldn't let me out of the house for nothing. Yes I may have been doing dangerous stuff but I couldn't handle being stuck in the house. It felt like I was in jail. So one day I snuck out and got a couple people to help kill them. I told them to spare you. You were just a little boy then. What? You want to kill me now? Huh? I'd like to see you try." "NO brother. I don't want to kill you. I know someone who can help you. Even if you did kill mom and dad I really don't remember them. I was so little. I can get you help so you don't have to kill again." "No one can help me now. I'm sorry little brother. Yes I have regretted killing them since then. After that I knew no one could help me. So let me tell you all why I am here! I am here to take the cyborg kids with me. I won't hurt them. Maybe do some experimenting with them. I have someone who is dying to see them. Master. Oh that's right your not my master anymore." "So I was right. It was you." "Yep it sure was. Oh your family is dying to see you again. I told them they would see you in hell. So I left them there and came to kill you. That is why I am here. Oh and your wife said she knew the cyborg kids from before. So just for that I think I will kill them first." So he flew down and grabbed the kids when they were off guard.
"Give the kids back Now!" I jumped up and caught the guy. I got him by his collar then threw him down until he couldn't get up anymore. "You ok kids?" "Yeah were ok." Said Ryz. "What about you Axel?" "Y-yeah I'm fine. I think. Brother." "Don't worry about him. We won't kill him but we will lock him up for awhile." "Once he calms down let me know. I need to talk to him brother to brother." "Yes I will let you know when a good time is." "Thanks Kiran." Axel wasn't looking to good and I caught him just before he fell. He passed out in my arms. "Axel! Are you ok? Axel! OK guys you got the fox guy right?" "Yeah go take care of Axel." "Ok thanks. Hang In there buddy. You have to make it." We finally made it back home and I brought Axel and called for old lady ada. Thankfully she will be here for a few more days before she heads back. "Ada! Is Ada here. We have an emergency! Its Axel!" "Yeah she is in the back I will get her." Said Kairi. I laid Axel on the ground and held his little hand. Luna was next to him too.
Old lady Ada came running and saw little axel out of it. "Lets see what is wrong with the boy." She checked him out and said. "Well the boy looks fine but I'm afraid his mind isn't in perfect shape. His mind is what is keeping him out like this. Whatever happened out there really messed with him. I'm afraid there is nothing I can do for him. He just has to wake up on his own. Does he have any family?" I told her what happened out there. "I see. That will do it. Unless his brother can do anything I'm afraid the longer he is out like this the weaker he gets. Eventually he will die." "No! I have to go back and see if his brother can do anything. I have to talk to my boss about bringing him over." "I would suggest that is a good idea." I ran back to work just to tell my boss what is going on.
"Yes I will make a date we can do that. I will try talking to the guy we brought in." "No boss. I have a feeling I can talk to him right now. If he knows about his brother he might want to help." "OK be careful. Some will be outside in case you need help." "Thanks." I went to the room where the man was.
"Hello Red Fox." "What do you want?" "I need your help." "What would a half demon want my help with?" "I think it may help both of us." "Well shoot then." "Its your brother. Something is wrong with him." "What? What happened to my brother? How can I help!" "First you need to relax. Take a deep breathe. OK now Your brother is in a mental coma. His body is fine. Since is my isn't doing to well probably because you told him about your parents and all that stuff kind of screwed up his mind. You may be the only one who can help him. Also the longer he is like this the weaker his body gets and eventually he will die." "No! Brother!" "If I brought him here would you help him or kill him?" "Of course I will help him. He is my brother. I may have killed my parents but my brother is different. I need to help him. Please!" I could tell he was serious because of how frightened he was of loosing him. Also the tears in his eyes. "Ok I will talk to my boss of when I will bring him over and he will tell you ok? Lets just hope you can get through to him." "Kiran. Thanks and Sorry. I will be willing to talk to master as well once I help Axel. By the way my name is Archer." "Well I will see what I can do. I will see you later Archer." Then I left talked to my boss and headed back home.
"Lady Ada. How is he?" "About the same. No change." "How long do you think he will last before he gets too weak?" I'm afraid by the end of this month he will be too weak. We need to help him as soon as possible." "I made a date for his brother to help him in 2 days." "Good. Lets hope that he can help him. In time."
Two days later I carried Axel back to work with me. I took him to the infirmary and told them the situation ahead of time. They agreed. I laid him down and waited for Archer to get here. Then a few minutes later he got here. I had Archer sit where I was and try talking to Axel. We waited outside just in case he decided to freak.
"Hey little brother. Its me. Archer. Your big brother. I don't deserve to be called that after I left you alone. I killed mom and dad for selfish reasons. I know they were only protecting me. I can't believe its been 5 years not since we haven't seen eachother. I promise once you get out of here I will protect you ok? I know I said that no one can help me now. I don't think anyone can. I don't deserve it. I promise I will try if you wake up. Please little brother. I need you. I need your help so I can change. "I'm really sorry for what I did. You need to survive little brother please. I don't expect you to forgive me right away. I will do my best to atone. I don't think I can ever face mom and dad after what I did to them. Please wake up."
(Inside Axel's head)
"Hmm. What happened? Where am I? I hear brother but I don't see him?" "Hello Axel." Said a mysterious voice that sounded familiar. "Huh who is that? Hello?" Then the person who talked showed up. "Father? Mother? What are you doing? Where am I?" "You are in your head right now Axel. There is something we need to tell you. First of all you are in a mental coma. From what your brother told you. Second of all your brother didn't kill us like he was saying. It wasn't his fault that we died." Said father. "What do you mean?" He didn't want to tell you because he thought he would be weaker if he did. He was forced to get some men to kill us if he couldn't. He was forced to watch them kill us. I am assuming that is why he ended up like this. Those things I assume he told you were never true. Yes the part about us being overprotective is but not the reason for killing. Tell him your mother said to tell you the truth when you wake up. Tell him its not his fault and that we both love you and your brother." "Mom, Dad, I don't remember you at all. I just remember your voices. Now I have to leave you guys again." "Everything will be ok when you wake up. Take care of your big brother ok? I'm sure you will be happy about what he decided." Said mom. Then they gave eachother a hug until they disappeared.
(Back outside)
Axel had tears come out of his eyes and Archer noticed. "Brother. Can you hear me?" He was out for a little longer then slowly opening his eyes. "B-big B-brother?" "Yeah I'm here. I'm here little brother." Axel slowly sat up and Archer gave him a hug. "I'm so sorry little brother. Its all my fault." Axel patted him on the back. "No its not. There is something I need to tell you." So Axel told him things that mom and dad told him inside his head. "I see. Yes that is true. I was forced. That is probably why I ended up this way. You don't need to know the details but I am going to try to get some help. I don't deserve the help but I will surely try. Plus they told you to look after me right?" "Haha. Yeah. I may be 7 years old but I will do my best."
