Chapter 2: Brother Against Brother
The two brothers waited for the right moment to strike, the man with dual blades and Jack with a single, magic blade.
Finally, the man took a step backward and Jack took this as an opportunity. He charged a magic blast and shot it at the man. Unfortunately, the man was just as skilled as Jack and he jumped over the blast coming down with a hard swipe.
Jack only barely blocked it and swung his blade to the man's stomach. The man parried the attack and cleaved down at Jack only for his strike to be deflected yet again by Jack's quick reflexes.
The two swordsmen fought back and forth with no end to the battle. Jack sidestepped and dodged the man's next attack and stabbed his blade out to strike the man. The man blocked the stab and swung his blade at Jack, only to miss.
Eventually, they both got tired but still continued fighting. Finally, the man said, "Perhaps you're just as good a swordsman as you are a bluffer. I'm proud of you, brother...unfortunately, my task is to destroy the Bladebearers of Light and sadly you are one. But, if you join the Dark Bladebearers, we can overthrow the darkness and rule all worlds! What will it be, brother?"
Jack stared at the man for a second, then shook his head. "Thanks, but no thanks. Just because you're my brother, I'm not going to join you. My friends here are trying to save the world, not conquer it." The man smirked and said, "Bad choice, brother. Bad choice, indeed....and let me ask you one more question."
Curious, Jack asked, "What?" The man grinned evilly then said, "How much do you love this world?" The man then stabbed his blade into the ground and made the ground shake like an earthquake! Then, he took the blade out, laughed, then disappeared into a dark hole alongside his men.
All of a sudden, a giant hole opened up in the sky and swallowed half of the town! "Oh, no!" said Jack. Gastro swallowed hard. "We...we have to go check out what's causing that hole in the sky..." The group nodded and ran for the spot where the hole was.
They made it to the center of town which was completely untouched and saw the hole right above them. Then, a familiar face came down....Bart Gunshot! "Hm hm hm hm, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Surprised to see me, you filthy Bladebearers? Don't be. Don't you see? I AM the darkness and what controls it. Ah, those Dark Bladebearers are just what I need to wipe you all out. After all, you're nothing but a race of warriors who fought for freedom."
All of a sudden, dark creatures emerged from the ground and poised to strike! "Now, you no good Bladebearers will become extinct..." He signaled to the creatures to strike and they charged at our heroes!
"Now...now do you see what I've been through and what I've worked unbelievably hard to achieve?!"
