Chapter 2 - Chapter Two: Domino effect

Ben is sitting in his office lost in thought in Jack's words.

Why is Jack so worried of Frederick ? I checked all his files just in case but there's nothing off about this guy, he isn't the type to throw baseless accusation

Jack's suspicion of Frederick wraps around Ben's mind.

Jack's not the type of guy to throw around baseless accusations. what in the world am I missing?

Meanwhile in the outskirts of the A.O.M Central HQ Frederick is seen pacing around his cabin biting his nails in frustration

Put people to sleep with my paper? That asshole! He has no appreciation for our rich history

the founders, the Ohm Mage, the unification of Zod! This is bull *THUMP*

"A loud bang on Fredericks walls knocking down some of his history books off the shelf"

What the fuck was that…

a moment of silence spanning a couple seconds followed with an abrupt *BOOM*

Frederick is knocked to the ground and In the

The first prince walks in starring at Frederick with menacing intent he points his finger at an already flustered Frederick gather mana at his fingertips

Just then the door swings open

Ben: hey I heard the explosion are you al-

Just then Ben's eyes meet the first prince

Ben: Arthur? You were missing for a week what ha-

Ben's words were cut short after realising the situation

Ben: what the fuck are you doing!

Ben quickly grabs his wand from his belt and aims it at Arthur

Arthur quickly points been with a mana beam ready to fire at any moment

Arthur: Ben there's a good reason for this please just-

Ben: I don't want to hear it!

Arthur: Ben move! PLEASE! we don't have much time

Ben: I'm tired of your excuse

As their mana beams are cracking ready to be fired at any moment the doors swings open!

Behind the door neither man nor beast an amalgamation of rotten mana taking a human silhouette it's sinking eyes meet Frederick smiling ear to ear laughing as it points to Frederick

Arthur immediately fires his mana beam at the being only for it to have no effect it's eyes still on Frederick

Arthur: Ben! Take Frederick and run! Report to the KM emergency case C-11V

Ben: What is that thing!?

Arthur: THERE'S NO TIME HURRY!!

As Ben and Frederick run through the collapsed wall previously broken by Arthur C-11V starts giving chase but is immediately stopped by a high kick from Arthur

Arthur: hey ugly! You have to get past me first

Stumbling back back it looks at Arthur in a rage charging with the intent to kill

Deep in the wood Ben and Frederick are sprinting towards A.O.M HQ

Frederick: fuck! What was that

Ben: I don't know

Frederick: Why was it only looking at me!?

Ben: I don't know!

Ben yelled at Frederick stopping Their sprint

Frederick: aren't you supposed to be the smartest out of the three princes!

Ben: Fuck man! I told you I don't know this is my first time hearing of C-11V

Frederick: You think this is easy being chased by a monster and having my home destroyed!

Ben: I never said said that just shut up and-

Frederick: No!

Frederick: BULLSHIT!?

-Frederick exclaimed in disbelief-

Frederick: the second prince cheated me seven times out of my instructor review, the first prince tried to KILL ME! Now your leading my into the woods to silence me huh!

-KABOOM-

Explosions erupt at the direction of Fredericks canbin with each one getting closer and closer

Ben: LOOK! we'll deal with this all after we head to HQ we'll detain the first prince and get us some answers

Frederick: No! I'm tired of following orders and getting nowhere

Ben: You can't be serious

Frederick: maybe I am

-BOOM!!-

The fight between Arthur and C-11V has finally reached Ben and Frederick. Arthur heavily bruised and barely able to hold back C-11V

Arthur: WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS STILL HERE!

C-11V lock eyes with Frederick charging on all fours

Frederick: FUCK!

Frederick now in a full sprint racing deeper into the woods hoping to lose the creature in its pursuit

Arthur: FUCK! We lost Frederick and C-11V, Why the hell didn't you get away!

Ben lowers his head clenching his fist

Ben: I'm… sorry

Arthur: *sigh* where's Jack if me and him team up we may be able to stop C-11V

Ben: um about that

Arthur's eyes widen

Arthur: No

Ben: he's at the coast dealing with rogue mages

Arthur collapse on the ground pulling his hair in a fit a stress

Arthur: we're fucked

Ben looks down at the ground thinking for a little while and starts walking towards the direction Frederick ran to

Arthur: what do you think you can do alone

Ben: fix my mistake

Ben disappears into the the woods leaving a disheartened Arthur alone

Arthur: Fine! Go throw away your life, see if I care!
