Chapter...12 & 13

The robot lunged at them. But unknown to them, a dark warrior was controlling the cyborg, but it seemed hesitant to strike at Joshua though.

"I want him alive! Kill his companions!" the warrior thought.

As the machine seemed to take damage from thier fierce attacks, Zac and Seb came running into the fray. Before they had a chance however, the robot shimmered and exploded, sending debris at them.

"Ugh..." Zac groaned.

The figure who was controlling the robot laughed and drew a dark sword. Before anyone could react, he lunged at Joshua. It missed and Zac charged at him, but before his attack hit, the sword was thrust back, stabbing Zac straight in the chest. Blood splattered over the wall and ground, creating a crimsion stain.

"ZAC!" Joshua yelled in horror.

"You are the one I want. The darkness flows inside you, not that pathetic brother of yours."

With a swing of his sword, everyone except Joshua was frozen in time.

"Come, join me...and accept the darkness!"

"...Never. Scum like you who try to hurt my friends don't deserve to live..." Joshua angrily threatened.

"See?" The villain smiled evily. "Your anger is already giving you power. And...that is no way to treat someone like...ME!"

With a simple motion, the villain flung his cape and cloak, revealing a black haired man, a scar across his face and red eyes. His hand was a mechanical claw and he looked like a war general back in mediaval times.

"No...You dirty !^%$@!#&!" Joshua yelled angrily.

"Hah...I knew your reaction towards me would be a good one, after all, you should despise the one who abandoned you!"

"My own father...a ultimate warrior of darkness...I should've know..."

With that said, Joshua lunged at his father with a frenzy of attacks. His brother was dying, his heart was breaking and everything wasn't right!

"Fool. Even if you win...the darkness will devour your soul!"

"..."

Joshua continued, but all of his attacks were blocked. Before he knew it, he was attacked with such fury, his father decided to end it. With a simple slash, Joshua felt a sharp pain and his hand was gone.

"Don't make me kill you..."

Joshua leapt into the air and was cut down. He fell against the wall.

"I guess I win. I'll spare you...for now..."
