Chapter 20 - CHAPTER NINETEEN: Brothers

-Lower levels of the Guard Branch-

(gasps) "Holy shit is that really is Victor Siyah."

Guards mumble surrounding Victor's body, guns aimed at him.

"…"

"Good…"

Victor thinks facing the door and ignoring the guards that surround him.

"It seems he managed to get away."

He smiles satisfied with himself

"I pray the all-knowing grants you the blessing you are 'owed'."

He thinks

"For it…"

"Is your 'birth right'."

Victor thinks

"…""

-silence-

"…"

"This should be enough."

He thinks closing his eyes.

… "TAT!" …

… "TAT!!!" …

… "TAT!!!!" …

The sound echoes the lowest room as someone descends the metal staircase

"No way…"

The guards begin to whisper amongst themselves.

"Is it really him??"

They whisper

"I didn't think I'd ever get to see him so up-close."

They whisper

"Seeing two former 'Sight's' in one day."

They whisper

"I know right, What's with this mission?!?!"

They say making way for a figure to get through to where Victor lies.

(".....")

The man crouches to face Victor.

"…"

-silence-

"…"

"Yoh!"

He says with a huge grin on his face.

"…"

"Yasser…"

Victor responds keeping his eyes closed

"Come to see a dying man's last moments?"

He asks.

"Hahaha."

"Hey now! You know I don't have the stomach for that stuff."

Yasser responds grinning ear to ear

"Oh..."

"Then why are you here Yasser?"

Victor asks

"Hmmm."

"Why else you've been causing quite the ruckus lately."

Yasser responds

"That wasn't part of the agreement Siyah."

Yasser says grinning.

"You broke our agreement first."

Victor says opening his eyes and staring daggers into Yasser

(whistles) "That's some look you got …"

Yasser says

"So full of life and conviction y'know."

He says

"Especially given you just used up all your (souls)."

He says grinning ear to ear as he stands up and starts to walk toward the dead guard.

"…"

-silence-

"…"

"Hey now Siyah. Did you really have to kill him I liked this guy."

Yasser says kicking the guard's corpse

"…"

"You've killed more than I have today."

Victor responds closing his eyes once more.

"Well you can blame Leona for that."

Yasser says

"That red haired woman?"

Victor thinks…

"Y'know how 'that' family can get."

Yasser says smirking.

"Still though…"

"…"

He begins

"The great 'Victor Siyah'.

He says

"Right here in front of me…"

"…"

-silence-

"…"

"Goosebumps."

Yasser says

"…"

"You know I never really expected it."

He says pacing around to where the torture tools are kept

"You giving yourself up without much of a fight I mean."

He adds

"Kinda anti-climactic don't you think?"

He says playing with surgical blades.

"Anti-climactic or not we had a deal Yasser."

Victor says

"One which you did not honour."

He says

"…"

-silence-

"…"

(clicks tongue) "Tsk. Tsk. Tsk."

"Oh but I did Siyah."

Yasser responds cheekily.

"…"

"What are you--"

Victor begins

"The white death."

("!!!")

Yasser says smirking as Victor's eyes shoot open

!!!!!!!!!BZZZZZZZZT!!!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MARISSA!!!!"

The air around Victor erupts as he shouts!!!

"OUUUAAHHHHHH!!!!!"

The guards surrounding him exclaim as they are pushed back!!

"Ouuu scary…"

Yasser says sarcastically simply watching him

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"OUUUAAHHHHHH!!!!!"

The guards exclaim as they are pushed further back!!!!

"I ASKED YOU A QUESTION!!!"

Victor shouts again!!!

"…"

-silence-

"…"

"Nothing."

Yasser says smirking

"YASSER!!!!"

Victor shouts

"Oh stop it we both know you're finished."

Yasser responds smirking and walking towards him

"And..."

He begins as he crouches by Victor again

"Even if you weren't am not sure this is a fight you'd want."

Yasser says smirking

"Wouldn't you agree…."

"Siyah."

He says smirking to a stone faced Victor who powers down

"…"

-silence-

"…"

"Right then…"

Yasser says smirking

"Yasser…"

"You can put your toys away Siyah your wife is fine."

Yasser says smirking before standing up again

"…"

Victor breathes a sigh of relief

"…"

-silence-

"…"

"Take me and spare the city he said."

Yasser says

"Given the price on your head it would've been the perfect deal wouldn't you agree?"

He continues

"…"

"If it was so perfect then why did you betray it."

Victor asks

"Betray it?"

"Oh no Siyah I did no such thing."

Yasser says

"I simply…"

"Altered our deal…."

He says

"…"

-silence-

"…"

"You withheld information from me Siyah."

Yasser says

"Left me no choice but to alter the deal."

He says

"I needed..."

"'Fair' compensation."

He says

"what for?"

Victor asks

"The former 'Touch'."

Yasser says

"Jerry???"

Victors thinks.

"Killed nearly half our men."

Yasser says

"…"

"Did you--"

"Nope, got away."

Yasser says interrupting Victor.

"So like I said I was in need of find suitable compensation you know…"

He says smiling to no response from Victor

"Could you guess what my pri--"

"I mean compensation was..."

He says giving Victor a nasty grin

"…"

-silence-

"…"

"Mar--"

"I already told you your wife is fine Siyah."

Yasser says smiling cutting Victor off

"Probably escaped with another one of the secrets you withheld from me."

He says

"So…"

"Why don't you try again?"

Yasser says smirking

"That is…"

"Proper compensation for a rogue general, a traitor and a terrorist."

He says smirking

"Yasser…"

Victor says as it begins to dawn on him

"…"

"Oh I know what about the spawn of Victor of the 'Six' and Beyaz royalty."

Yasser says sharply

"YASSER!!!!!!!"

("CLICK! CLICK! CLICKS!!!!)

Victor shouts in one breath startling everyone but Yasser as the guards all lock their guns aiming at Victor mumbling in fear.

"I swear to the all knowing that if you harm even a hair on his body…

"I WILL END YOU!!!!"

Victor shouts

"You??"

Yasser says laughing before staring up at the ceiling.

"In case you forgot Siyah."

"You're already dead."

He says facing Victor grinning.

"..."

"Can't even use the trick from before can you?"

Yasser asks mockingly

"Besides."

Yasser begins

"Lest we remember I don't fear you Siyah…"

His tone much more sinister and face intense as the tension in the room builds!!!

"And as far as am concerned Siyah."

He says seriously

"Dead men don't speak."

He says before standing up and heading for the staircase.

"…"

"YASSSER!!!"

Victor shouts

"YASSSERR FREID GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!"

Victor shouts out after Yasser who just ignores him and continues to walk….

"OUAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"

!!!!BANG!!!!!

!!!!BANG!!!!!

!!!!BANG!!!!!

!!!!BANG!!!!!

!!!!BANG!!!!!

… before giving a signal to the guards with his hand!!!

"…"

-silence-

"…"

"Bye Siyah."

Yasser says upbeat heading up the stairs.

"…"

-silence-

"…"

"So you killed him huh?"

A voice cuts in just as Yasser reaches the top of the stairs into a hall way.

"…"

"Me?!?!"

Yasser responds sarcastically

"Oh heavens no I just got to know the guy."

He says brimming

(clicks tongue) "Tch."

The man clicks his tongue

"So…"

Yasser begins

"Did you find your brother?"

"…"

"Jeremiah."

Yasser asks smugly as Jeremiah stares daggers into him.

"…"

"No."

Jeremiah says

"He disappeared."

He says.

"…"

"Well."

Yasser says

"That's to be expected."

He says

"He is the former 'Touch' after all."

He says smiling

"If he got serious I think even I would have a tough time finding him!!"

Yasser says cheekily shrugging his shoulders

"Tch."

Jeremiah clicks his tongue unimpressed with Yasser's acting

"And Leona?"

Yasser asks.

"Headed south…"

"After the boy like you said."

Jeremiah responds

"After the boy?"

Yasser asks

"Ehehe what gave you that idea Jerry boy??"

Yasser laughs cheekily grinning at Jeremiah.

"This guy."

Jeremiah thinks angrily to himself.

"Right then."

Yasser says

"Get the Blades ready we move in two hours."

He says starting to walk away.

"Huh??"

Jeremiah exclaims a little confused

"And what of Leona???"

He asks.

"Leona's a big girl…"

"She can take care of herself."

Yasser says smirking continuing to walk away.

"A-and the kid???"

Jeremiah shouts.

"Hm."

Yasser smirks

"What kid Jeremiah??"

He shouts cheekily waving bye from ahead.

"Tch!"

Jeremiah clicks his tongue angrily

"What are you planning…"

He thinks

"Yasser..."

He thinks to gritting his teeth to the sight of Yasser walking away.

… "?The Middle Of Nowhere?" …

Xavier continues to wander the outer-lands

"…"

(panting) "south..."

He says heavily out of breath and energy

"father said to go south…"

Xavier says dragging his feet

"father."

He thinks to himself sombrely pausing for a second.

"No."

He stops himself

"No matter what happens I must survive."

Xavier reaffirms to himself continuing to trudge along.

"I must pay back this debt."

He thinks

"…"

-silence-

"…"

"Still though…"

Xavier thinks

"What was that back there?"

He wonders recalling the events that just occurred.

"It was like for a moment there I could…"

"…"

"I could see a path out…"

Xavier thinks to himself.

"…"

-silence-

"…"

"Well whatever it was…"

Xavier thinks

"It could have manifested itself earlier."

He thinks

"Maybe I could have--"

"…"

"Argghhhh!!!"

"Am doing it again!"

He stops himself

("PA!!!!!!!!")

Xavier slaps his cheeks!

"Focus I need to focus!!!"

He thinks

"Survival is the only thing that's important right now."

He thinks

"I need to forget everything for now and focus on surviving."

He thinks

"Survive."

He thinks

"And head south..."

"…"

"South…"

He thinks to himself before coming to a halt

"…"

-silence-

"…"

"Wait which way is south anyway…"

Xavier thinks realizing he has been walking directionless for a while now. (._.)

"Aaaaah crap…"

"…"

"…"
