Burn the whole house down (AU part 2)


So, I just realised that the first part is really confusing, now that I re read it. So if you don't understand it then here is a summary;

Summary: The main character, *cough cough*Grian*cough cough*, was captured by the Watchers and was separated from his brother. He is taken to the End and is put through torture there. Whenever you misbehave they put you in a cage that was over the void. It was just deep enough for you to take damage but not die, surviving only on one heart (aka torture). His brother (Mumbo) blames himself for letting his brother get captured and is going through depression because of that. At the end, Grian managed to escape but is that the actual end of the story?

If you still don't understand then sorry, this is the best I can do.

~le flashback about 14 years~

PoV: Grian

Used to keep it cool. I never fell into panic.

Used to be a fool. I never took anything seriously.

All about the bounce in my step. I was always an upbeat guy, or at least that's what people told me.

Watch it on the news. I was popular amongst the server and quite a lot of people knew me and knew how I was acting.

Whatcha gonna do? No one could get rid of me, and to be honest, I do think they wanted. We had many fun times. The key word being had.

I could hit refresh and forget. I just want to forget all of that. So it wouldn't be so hard to let go.

Used to keep it cool. I used to just ignore it all, everything bad that was happening. I used to have these stupid glasses, showing me that the world was all sunshine and rainbows.

I was slammed into the wall by a blast of magic. I didn't even know who they are and why they are here. My ears were ringing and some blood was dripping out of the side of my head. I look around to try and find Mumbo. I just hope he's ok...

I hope he did what I asked him to do and stay safe.

PoV: Mumbo

Should I keep it light? I stayed under one of the smaller builds. I am sitting there like a coward. I hated that, I clutched the small amulet that Gri gave me on my 8th birthday. It's been two years since then but it's still the same amulet, nothing changed.

Stay out of the fight? I should just go out there. They need my help! Yes, I may be too young to fight but they will need an extra pair of hands!

No one's gonna listen to me. yeah, they probably won't, but if they won't listen to me, I won't listen to them! I grab a diamond sword that was lying in a chest nearby when there was a loud bang on the door. Worry started to swallow me whole as I wondered who- no what clashed one the wall.

If I write a song

I just need a plan, maybe then, they will listen.

Preaching what is wrong

If we go like this, that, then here. I scratched onto a wall something that I think should work.

Will they let me sing on TV?

"There!" I whisper-yell, "They will listen to me now!"

Should I keep it light?

I leave this basement-type thingy. I exit the house very quickly and made sure no one would follow me. I started to look for Big Bro.

Is that right?

'I will find him, right? Yeah, I will! He wouldn't leave! He's strong and very optimistic!' I say to myself. I have to find him. I pass many bodies and many were our people. I flinched as I see these bodies but I still have hope in, after all, I didn't see my brother's body yet.

PoV: Grian

"Way up way up we go" They said to me, "Been up and down that road" I was trying to figure out what on Earth he was talking about.

"way up way up oh no" I say to him. 'please let Mumbo be ok, please let mumbo be ok' i think to myself.

"We gone burn the whole house down." they say. There was a sudden blast of magic into the wall. The house was starting to burn down into ashes. This isn't happening. This is just a nightmare. All of our work, gone and forgotten. I shit my eyes tight, hearing their horrible laughs just pained me even more.

"Watch me stand in the line." they say. He came up close to me, showing his yellow and rotten teeth. I didn't have the strength to fight anymore but I had to, for Mumbo, "join us Grian and you will have the power of the Prime Admin himself."

"your only serving lies." I say through gritted teeth. I tried to sound intimidating but he only smirked at my response.

"You've got something to hide" He said, he was way better at being intimidating than me. He lifted up my chin so that I was looking at him.

"We gon' burn the whole house down." he said quietly, "and kill everyone you know and love." he whispered in my ear.

"n-n-no! You won't!" I say. There was another blast and another house went into flames.

"We gon' burn the whole house down." The whole town exploded before my eyes. I heard a scream that I knew too well who it was. The being looked at me with a bone-chilling smirk. I try to stand up and start running towards were the scream came from.

"MUMBO!" I yell as I see a small glims of my brother. I just hope that he is alive. Please let him be alive. I came running towards him, he lay unconscious on the floor. I pick him up and shake him, pleading him to wake up.

"Gri?" He said with a sleepy voice. I hug him tight.

"never scare me like that ever again." I say to him worry in my voice, "Mumbo, look. I have no time. They might find us soon. I called Uncle X, remember him? So I called X and he is soon going to come and take us away." I say to him, reassuringly. The beings were coming up to us, there was no time to waste.

I picked Mumbo up and took him where me and X agreed to meet. The beings were close on my lead but I was able to loose them on one of the corners.

"Mumbo, listen. You go through the portal first and I will follow you. Make sure that you are going with Xisuma, ok?" I explained in a hushed voice. He nodded, "good." Just then two of the hooded and cloaked beings cornered us. I held Mumbo tight. Suddenly, a portal appeared in front of them. A man stepped out and blasted the beings out of our way. They won't return for some time.

I sigh with relief.

"X! Thank god you are here." I say as I pass Mumbo from me to him.

"what are you doing?" He asked me, clinging onto my shirt even harder.

"Mumbo, you have to go. I'll be ok."

"You are not coming?" He asked, tears forming in his chocolate brown eyes. I sigh.

"Mumbo," I say holding his hand, "I will come back one day, promise." I make him let go of me and he starts sobbing into Xisuma who was stroking his back.

"Pinky promise?" He asked he me. I take his small pinky and shake it, "pinky promise." I leave something in his hands and he didn't notice it yet. It was a stone with our family photo engraved into it.

"Good luck." X says and after I shake his hand, then, they are gone.

~le flash back ends (yes, that was only the flash back)~

PoV: Grian

I was sitting in my small bunker thing. Anger was boiling in me as I remember that cursed day. I hated the Watchers even after me escaping them 4 years ago. My golden white wings turned into black and golden ones. If I thought I had many scars on my face before I don't even want to know how many I have now. Yeah, used to let it go.

I silent tear came out of my eye and before I even now it, I am crying. I cry for a bit longer before wiping the tears away. I clutch the photograph that was in between my hands. There, on it, was a 10 year old boy. He had jet black hair and chocolate brow eyes. I don't even know if they escaped. i tried my best to protect him, I just hope he is safe. Walk into the show

Gawking at the tricks up your sleeve. An idea swiftly walked into my mind, an idea that would probably kill me but it was worth it, an idea of revenge. I started getting ready; collecting explosives, swords, redstone, daggers. By the end I was filled to the brim with weapons. I put two of my trusty obsidian swords on my back (being careful as to not to damage my wings).

Revenge was near.

~one long journey to the Facility~

I was creeping up to the Facility; a place I never thought I'd be visiting ever again. I curse under my breath as I see the place. My black and torn robes gave me a great disguise, the only thing that was making me not fully invisible was the golden stripes at the tips of my wings. I fly up in the air as to not be suspicious to the dickh- i mean Watchers. I start throwing explosives on the roof top.

"Too good to be true" i whisper to myself, a smile creeping up on my face. I swoop down and manage to pass people in the hall quite easily. I could just leave but I would like to pay a visit to someone. But I'm in a room.

I get to the 'Grand Dickhead's' throne room and step in. There were many soldiers standing there, looking at me in confusion.

"So you did survive in the end." he said in the most unenthusiastic voice.

Full of entertainers and thieves

"you act surprised" i pointed out. He snorted.

"You grew yourself a tongue?" he smirked, "leave my presents, I don't like you here." He waved his hand and gestures the guards to take care of me.

Used to let it go

"You don't like me? OUCH! you hit me right were I don't give a fuck." He looked at me.

"If you are the person to judge me then you must be flawless, or else I won't give a fuck." I say

"well, I am flawless. " he admits, I snort, "you can't ignore that." he adds.

"I don't ignore that, I just don't believe in people who can be so egotistic." I answer. I can easily see that he is frustrated with me and the guards are looming over me now, swords at the ready.

The guards blasted at me with their magic, which I easily block.

"Way up way up we go." I sang to myself. The melody was the same from all those years ago. He doesn't seem to remember, "Been up and down that road." I say, as it was my turn to strike. I slash my dagger out of it's hiding place and strike of of the Watchers right in the heart. "Way up way up oh no, We gon' burn the whole house down" He still seemed not to get the clue, "Watch me stand in the line. Your only serving lies." His eyes widen, finally the reaction I needed. I block another attack from one of his guards.

"You've got something to hide" He said in a slow and menacing tone.

"We gon' burn the whole house down." I say firmly. I strike again, slicing everything alive in the room except the Head Watcher, "We gon' burn the whole house down." I shoot a blast of magic into the wall and it burst into golden-black flames. I came up to the Head Watcher, eyes in flames.

I take out my sword and raised it up,

"you ruined my life, you made me a monster, you tortured me for years. But now it's going to end, You lose."

"Should I hang my head low? Should I bite my tongue?" He says.

"Or should I march with every stranger from Twitter to get shit done?" I strike, he blocks my sword with magic, deep purple flames emitting from his hands.

"Used to hang my head low, Now I hear it loud." I bring out my sword to his chin, "Every stranger from Twitter is gonna burn this down." I drew a bit of blood out of his neck.

"Way up way up we go, been up and down that road." I whisper in his ear, "way up way up oh no, we gon' burn the whole house down." A blast of magic pushed me away and into the wall. The wall started to burn again.

"Watch me stand in the line." the Watcher said with a smug on his face, "well, this looks familiar doesn't it?"

"Your only serving lies." I say through gritted teeth, "The only difference is that I win." The Watcher gave him a questioning smirk.

"We gon' burn the whole house down." I say, grinning madly. The Watcher's smirk disappeared quickly. He shot a blast of magic and I quickly pull up a shield, deflecting the demonic dark-purple magic.

"We gon' burn the whole house down" I stand up and shoot my own, golden-black magic, sending the wall into flames. I slashed my obsidian sword onto his and the fight went to life once more. Blasts of magic were coming out of the Head Watcher's hands, which I easily deflected, and finally, after what seemed to be ages, I was able to do the final blow.

I fly our of the room as quickly as possible, land on the roof. I can't believe that my most desired dream would come true.

Wait.

no.

Second, most desired dream. I light up the explosives...

The world seem to slow down.

We burn it down, we burn it down

"We burn it down." I <insert a better word than say> confidently, as I spread my beautiful wings. I fly off into the distance, leaving this horrible place behind, and ready to forget it like a nightmare. Blasts of tnt were heard in the distance. Finally, it was all over.

Ok, sorry. I tried to post it on the next day than the first part but didn't work out that well. So there is going to at least one more part, I have it planned out but as you can see, it doesn't usually go to plan.
