Chapter 5: The Fall
Third Person P.O.V
Jason opens up a book laying it on the table and quickly reading it. Jason has gray eyes, a jacket with different shades of blue, a sword at his side, brown hair, and a Star Army Crest on the back of his jacket.
"Come on. Where is it?" He asks himself.
"Looking for something in specific General?" Someone asks. Jason grabs his sword handle turning around. Kim grabs Jason's arm and his neck. "No...We can't have that." Kim grabs his sword pulling it out and throws it out the window. Jason kicks Kim off him. He climbs on the table and onto the other side. Kim shoots a spell at him making him stop in his place. She smiles. "Now don't make this difficult." Jason looks at Kim.
"I'm not going down without a fight." Jason said.
"I respect that. But I really have a time limit so...don't." Kim said. Jason sees her hand glow. He grabs a book and puts in front of him as Kim shoots fire at him. It hits the book and Jason runs and out the door. He almost trips but regains his balance and stops, wide eyed. Star Recruits are all knocked out and on the ground.
"What the Nether?" Jason asks. Kim grabs the back of Jason's jacket. She pulls him back and moves a sword on his neck putting her arm around his waist bring his back against her chest. Jason grabs her arm.
"Do you know how to take down a entire Army in a mere minutes Jason?" Kim asks. Jason looks around. SpellCasters are around using magic. Jason sees on killing recruits. Jason struggles.
"Leave them alone!" Jason yells. Kim's hand glows and she shocks him. He groans but stays up.
"I didn't get my prize. My prize being Seto. Until I get him, the Armies will fall one by one. Yours is first. But I'm feeling taking down another one today. Who should it be? Ahhh...I know." Kim said. SpellCasters appear in front of them. They grab Jason. Jason struggle. "If he causes any problems, punish him. Don't kill him through. I need him alive." Jason grabs a knife off of one of the SpellCasters and strikes at one of them making them let go of his right arm. Jason kicks the other. Kim grabs the knife and sticks it into Jason's shoulder and pulls it down his back making him scream. Kim pulls out the knife and smiles. They kick him down to his knees. "Take all the Star Recruits back to HQ! Chain them and start turning them one by one!"
"NO!" Jason screams. Jason gets to his feet and tries to go after Kim but one of the people holding him stomps on his right ankle. Jason screams hearing it cracks and falls onto his knees. They hold onto Jason's arm behind his back. Kim grabs Jason's hair and pulls up making him look at her. She puts the knife on his neck. The recruits start disappearing.
"Don't worry Jason. No one really cared for the Star Army. It was third rate. Everyone only cares about the top dog. Top dog being the Sky Army. And Sky is coming back too. I know who our next victim is gonna be." Kim said.
"You son of a b***h. They will kill you all. Just watch. They aren't top dog for no reason." Jason said. Kim cuts into Jason's neck and blood flows down his neck and down his chest. Kim smiles.
"I like hurting you. You take it but your right I guess. I already tried Mitch and lost many of my men." Kim said. Jason smiles.
"Serves you right." Jason said. Kim looks around and grins.
"I think the Star Army Base is empty Jason. But hey don't worry. Your Commander left you for the Dead Army right? Zane Enderborn? We won't be leaving him out of the Star Army's disappearance. No. But the Dead Army has Seto there. So.." Kim said. She stands up. "Bring the Bacca Army down! Kill as many as you like but leave Jerome alive. Alive to watch it fall." Jason looks up at Kim.
"You won't get away with this." Jason said as SpellCasters start to disappear. Kim chuckles a little. She looks at Jason.
"Take him to Jerome. Warn him. Let's see how much that helps." Kim said. Jason disappears and reappears at the Bacca Army in the same room as Jerome and Commander Luke. Jason lands on his feet and his right ankle gives out instantly causing him to fall against the wall.
"O my Notch Jason!" Luke yelled. He runs to Jason grabbing him instantly. Jerome gets up and runs to Jason.
"Jason wh-" Jason grabs Jerome's shirt.
"There's no time for that! Your about to be attacked by SpellCasters! They took down my whole Army without me even knowing it in minutes!" Jason yelled. He pushes Jerome towards the window. "You need t-" Jason suddenly passes out falling on the floor.
"Jason!" Jerome said. Luke grabs Jason. Jerome leaves running outside. "Sound the alarm now! We're about to be attack!" Recruits run around. Luke carries Jason out on his back. Jerome turns around looking at Luke. "Take Jason to the infirmary now." Jason's hand moves and he pushes himself off Luke. He falls backward. Luke turns around.
"Jaso-" SpellCasters start appearing out of nowhere and attacking.
"It's too late for me Jerome! You need to protect your recruits and yourself. They are after Seto and is mad cause they didn't get him so they are taking their angry out on us." Jason said. Kim appears in front of Jason and Jerome and Luke pull out their swords. Kim grabs Jason.
"Did it help Jason? Did that headstart do anything?" Kim asks. Jerome grabs Kim and pulls her off Jason and onto the ground. Jason passes out anything falling limp on the ground. Kim shoots a spell at Jason and Jason disappears. Jerome's eyes widen and he tries to strike Kim but she shoots a spell at him. He falls back and Luke jumps at her. Kim stands up quickly and grabs Luke's wrist making him stop. Kim grins and puts her hand on his cheek. "Tu autem me sequere." Luke's eyes suddenly turn black. Jerome gets up.
"Luke!" He said.
"Kill Jerome will you?" Kim asks. She disappears. Jerome looks around seeing recruits either disappearing or being killed.
"We don't have time for this Luke." Jerome said. He turns Luke around and at the same time Luke strikes at Jerome. Luke's sword cuts into Jerome's side. Jerome cries out in pain putting his hand on his side. "What the f**k are you doing Luke?!" Jerome stumbles back as Luke strikes at Jerome again. Luke's sword cuts across Jerome's chest. Jerome falls back. A recruits runs towards Jerome and tackles Luke away from him. Kim appears over Jerome.
"Bacca Army. But your just a human. Let's fix that." Kim said. Kim shots a spell at Jerome making his world go black.

Sky and Alesa are riding towards the Sky Army. They decide to stop by the Star Army since its on the way there. But when they got there it was empty. Sky picks up Jason's sword. Alesa is standing behind him.
"Do you have any idea what happened here by any chance?" Alesa asks. Sky stands up putting the sword in the ground.
"No. Something big through. An entire Army gone in one day. That's not possible." Sky said. A laugh emerges and Alesa grabs Sky's arm puts him against her.
"Sky-"
"It's okay Alesa. Just stay with me." Sky said looking around.
"So my master said to put you down Sky. Now I know that's beast terms but your just too much of a problem to be left unchecked." A voice said.
"Is that so? Why don't you come out and let me see you instead of being a coward?" Sky asks. They laugh again.
"Of course. Of course. But you see here, the girly girl will get hurt to you know." They say. A black hooded figure appears in front of Sky. Sky looks at them and then their eyes. Sky gasps.
"Alesa close your eyes now!" Sky said. Alesa closes her eyes but the figure grabs Sky's chin. They leans forward getting close to Sky's face, revealing their red snake eyes even more. They smirk. They have long sharp nails.
"I already caught you in my spell Sky. Your girlfriend is next. Let's see how long you last, let's see how long it takes to break you." They said.
"Alesa whatever you do, whatever happens, don't open your eyes." Sky said. Alesa nods.
"My name is Licia. Kim send me to deal with you Sky. I say, torture will do for you!" Licia said. Licia digs one of her sharp nails into Sky's skin on his forehead and bring is down cutting the side of his face.
"No." Sky said. The world around Sky starts turning into weird colors. Alesa and Licia disappear and so does the Star Army Base. Sky looks around seeing the sky red, black clouds, and a blood red sun. Then Licia appears with a sword in her hand. She smirks. Chains grab his wrists making him stay still to a board. Licia points the sword at Sky.
"The Sky Army General is unbreakable. Well let me test that will nonstop torture!" Licia said stabbing Sky in the stomach. Sky groans clenching his fists and closing his eyes. More Licias appear with swords. They stab Sky making him scream in pain. Licia laughs. After a while they stop "You have a ton of days months maybe, a lot of hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds left Sky."
'What?! Only a second passed?!' Sky thinks to himself. Sky looks down at Licia feeling blood on him. Hundreds more of her appear. They all laugh.
"Welcome to hell Sky! Where I finally break not only your spirit but destroy your body piece by piece!" Licia yells. Swords come and stab him endlessly making him scream.
Alesa grips Sky's arm.
"Sky can I open my e-" She feels Sky's arm slip from her hand and the sound of a body fall on the ground. Licia laughs.
'He was just talking a few minutes ago! What's wrong with him?!' She thinks to herself.
"As a second passes in that world, minutes pass in this one. I'll spare you girly. I think seeing how much I destroyed of Sky is torture enough." Licia said. She leaves and Alesa opens her eyes. She instantly sees Sky laying on the ground.
"Sky!" Alesa yells. She goes down next to him and shakes him. "Baby, wake up!" Tears form in her eyes. "Sky stop messing around. Get up. Adam!" Sky doesn't respond making Alesa upset. "This is a dream. No a nightmare! Baby please. Stop joking and get up!" The horses walk towards them slowly. Alesa hugs Sky burying her face in his neck. "Please."
*A few hours Later*
"Wait, what?!" Zane asks.
"How can two armies just vanish?!" Ty asks. Brice shrugs his shoulders.
"We don't know. But Sky is down too. A girl named Licia did it." Brice said.
"Wait the Sky Army is gone too?" Zane asks. Brice shakes his head.
"No. The Sky Army still stands. But Alesa said they were attacked by Licia in the Star Army Base. Apparently she did something to Sky and now he won't wake up no matter what they do." Brice said. Ty looks at Seto. He looks looking at the ground.
"Seto, what's wrong?" Ty asks. They look at Seto.
"That's not possible." Seto said quietly.
"What's not?" Zane asks. Seto looks at Brice.
"Did Alesa say anything else? Anything Sky might have said?" Seto asks.
"Don't look into her eyes." Brice said.
"Sky won't wake up until Licia wants him too. Which I'm guessing she put a time limit on Sky. And within that time limit, they intend to do a lot of damage to Minecraftia. Wait where is Skylar?" Seto asks.
"Heading to the Star Army. Along with Dylan and Seanna." Brice said.
"And you let them!" Seto yells running pass them.
-----
Skylar, Dylan, and Seanna stop their horses as a figure walks out in front of the road.
"Move out of the way." Seanna asks. They look up at them.
"Skylar, Seto's Apprentice. Interesting. What did you rebel against his rule?" They ask. Skylar looks at the figure.
"Do you have any idea how the Star Army and Bacca Army disappeared? And what happened to Sky?" Skylar asks. They laugh.
"Yes Sky. You know I love hearing his screams from a sword repeatedly. It's fun. He makes it interesting since he is trying convince himself it's just a illusion." Licia said. Skylar gets off her horse.
"Come again?" She asks. Licia looks at Skylar's feet. She grabs the edge of her hood that is covering her eyes.
"Seto is coming. I sense that damn sorcerer coming. Why do you trust a traitor of his own people Skylar?" Licia asks. Skylar drops her hand to her side looking curious at Licia.
"What are you talking about?" Skylar asks. Licia grins.
"O so he decided to keep it secret did he now. Seto isn't as great and noble as you all think he is. He was one of us at one time. A number one wanted criminal and the best Dark Arts Sorcerer to ever be." Licia said. Skylar grips the horse reins in her hand.
"Your lying. Seto would never convert to the dark side." Skylar said. Licia laughs again.
"Well he was desperate back then. But also yes he wouldn't. Yet once you have a taste of the power, you can't just say no to it. Isn't that right Seto?" Licia said looking at Seto who appeared in front of Skylar. Seto looks at her feet.
"Close your eyes now." Seto said. They close their eyes. Licia walks to Seto who has a hold of Skylar's arm.
"Aww man Seto. The times are coming back to me." Licia said. She pushes her hood down and touches the side of Seto's face with her hand. "You really have grown since last time I saw you. Kim was just gonna kill you but we found a way, a way to get our Seto back." Licia takes her hand off his face. Kim appears.
"Keep them at bay." Kim said. Licia nods and moves out of the way as Kim goes to Seto. Seto feels a hand on his chest and opens his eyes and looks down. He grabs her wrist.
"Don't!" Seto said. Kim smirks and her hand glows a yellowish orangish color.
"Intra se excitare malum!" Kim said. Seto gasps and lets go of Skylar's arm. Kim takes a step back and Seto screams. Seto collapses to his knees squeezing his eyes shut.
"Seto what's happening?!" Skylar yells. She opens her eyes and goes down in front of him. "Seto. Seto what's wrong?!" Seto put his hands on the ground and Skylar moves her hands on his shoulders. "What did you do to him?!" Kim crosses her arms.
"Seto, destroy the Benja, Dead, Sky, and Doods Army. Hand me the Generals. But leave only a few recruits." Kim said. Skylar grips Seto's shoulders.
"He isn't your servant!" Skylar said. Kim smirks.
"Now he is. Kill these three while your at it." Kim said. They both disappear. Seto groans loudly. Dylan and Seanna open their eyes.
"Seto look at me. Look at me."Skylar said. Dylan and Seanna get off their horses and go to the two.
"What happened?" Dylan asks.
"What did she do?" Seanna asks. Seto takes a few deep breaths.
"Get..Away." He growled. Dylan and Seanna takes a few steps back.
"No."Skylar said. Dylan sees Seto's hands getting a yellowish orangish color to them.
"Skylar!" Dylan yells grabbing her. He pulls her a little before Seto attacks them. They go flying back and Skylar lands on the ground and Dylan lands next to her. Skylar sits up instantly. Seto stands ups slowly. Seto looks at Seanna. Seanna gasps seeing his eyes changed from his usual gently and kind purple color to yellowish orangish. Seanna takes a step back.
"Seto!" Skylar yells getting up. She runs to him. Seto looks at her and smirks. She stops when a staff appears in his hands and pointed at her. "The...The staff." She knows Seto's staff. It's purple to match his magic, but it's yellowish orange now. "Seto..calm down. You need to calm down. It's..It's me, it's Skylar. No one wants to fight you."
"Really?" Seto asks. Skylar flinches at his voice sounding different. She takes a step towards Seto.
"This is all my fault." Skylar said. Dylan sits up.
"Skylar no. He's dangerous. That's not Seto anymore. It's a monster." Dylan said. Skylar shakes her head.
"No. No it's not. I'm sure that Crimson would want you to not let Kim get in your head." Skylar said. Seto lowers the staff looking at her. It disappears. He takes a few steps towards Skylar and grabs her collar of her shirt jerking her forwards.
"You don't know anything about Crimson so don't start talking about her like you know her." Seto said. Skylar looks away from Seto's eyes. Tears form in her eyes.
"Seto please. This isn't you." Skylar said. She looks at his eyes. "I know my Seto is still in there. H-" Seto stabs Skylar in her side. Skylar screams. Dylan stands ups and goes to run to them but Skylar stops him. "Dylan no. I...I know Seto better t-then anyone." Blood flows out of the wound and Skylar grabs Seto's arm to balance herself. "Please. Come back to me." Seto grins.
"Seto's gone and I'm here to stay." He said. Seto pushes Skylar down to the ground pulling out of the knife. Dylan grabs Skylar putting his hand on her wound. Seto's eyes look over at Seanna. Dylan looks at Seto and then at Seanna.
"Seann-" Seto throws the knife at Seanna and it pierces her left shoulder. She gets knocked out her feet screaming and onto the ground. Seto kicks Dylan and he stands up stumbling back. Dylan puts his hands up a little. "Seto I don't want to hurt you."
"Then I'll just hurt you." Seto said. Dylan hears words he can't understand and something hits him making his world go black.
