Loki

Loki walked ahead of everyone, three swords in his arsenal. He had his own sword and Blue's sword strapped around his back. The sword of judgement was strapped to his waist, and he held Blue in his arms. He laid Blue down on the ground, and they all started digging. 


Blue laid in the hole in the ground, and each of them threw dirt into the hole. Loki held the sword, "I'm gonna kill every last one of them." Star laughed bitterly, "Every follower of Chaos deserves it." Sorin nodded, "They will suffer, they will die by our hands." Archon could only stare. He watched as Blue was buried slowly by her comrades. He still couldn't believe it. They could die, and one of them did. Ray smiled, "She died a hero." Aero nodded, "I'm glad that she got to see her enemy fall before she died." Genesis put a seed on the soil before putting the last handful of dirt. The clouds were blocking the sun, making the day gloomy, and suddenly it started to rain. "Loki." Loki turned to Archon, his red eyes were full of anger. "What?" Archon frowned, "You knew didn't you?" Loki smiled, "I knew." Star frowned, "Then why didn't you tell her?" Loki looked at the tree that was growing at unnatural speeds, "Because I thought that no matter what we'd be together forever." Loki laughed bitterly and put his face up to the rain. Rain drops trickled down his long black ponytail and his neck. "I was such a fool." Loki let out a loud scream, and the others only watched. Archon finally felt a feeling in his hands and legs, "Too many have died." He looked at the vast forest before them, each used for the same thing. "Too many have died because of them." He remembered Percival's face when he died, he remembered Blue's. War's cloak was lifted by the wind showing her reptilian arms, "They're gonna pay! I'm going to make every single one of them scream!" 


Bear was walking beside Loki and suddenly a caravan started coming towards them. It seemed different than other caravans, they had an interesting flag, and also a lot of suspicious people riding on their carts. Loki and Bear froze, Archon saw Speedy frown. "Why now?" Archon looked at the two in front of him, they were shaking, they were afraid. Archon shuddered, Loki never got afraid, ever. "Loki?" Loki turned around, his red eyes full of sadness. "I'm sorry." War frowned, "What?" Loki opened his mouth, and a screech pierced through the air. Bear frowned and closed his eyes. Archon blinked, his eyelids were getting heavier. His surroundings were blurring, and his ears felt like they were being ripped off. Loki closed his mouth, "Take me to him. Take me to my brother." 


Archon opened his eyes with Speedy standing over him. Speedy was a friend of Loki's, but Archon had never really spoken to him. He seemed to come and go whenever he wanted. And his eyes always seemed to be looking around, as if expecting something. "So that was what you were watching for." Speedy smiled weakly, "You noticed huh?" Archon nodded, "I pay attention to my friends." Star appeared behind Speedy's side, "We all do Speedy. I didn't think that you believed that you could keep a secret from us, or that you had to." Speedy laughed weakly, "Loki needs to be protected, and I'm somewhat their protector." Archon frowned, "Can't Loki protect himself?" Speedy seemed to be looking at a memory, something that even Archon couldn't see. "Not against these people." Genesis laughed, "And you can?" Speedy frowned, "I can run. I can take them far far away. That's what I can do. That's why he chose me." Sorin rubbed his face, "Okay, start from the beginning, it's getting confusing. Can you start by telling us who the three of you are?" All of the knights put their eyes on the one in the middle, "They're going to need your help. However, I don't think that us, all of us, could possibly beat this enemy." Ray rolled his eyes, "Do what Sorin said, you're not making any sense." Speedy tapped his foot on the floor impatiently, "We don't have time..." He looked at his teammates, "Fine, but this is gonna go fast. We need to move. Loki's brother will kill him as soon as he sees him." Ray laughed, "As far as we know, only a creature of chaos can kill us, and I don't believe that this brother of his is a creature of chaos." Archon shook his head, Loki has a brother? "Speedy! Explain!" Speedy stood straighter and saluted, "Yes sir!" Archon frowned, "What's that?" Speedy relaxed, "Sorry, habit. Okay, who are we? Loki is a wanted criminals for murdering many large cities. Bear and I are part of a task force that was made for the sole purpose of killing Loki." Archon's eyes widened, "What?" Speedy frowned, "Maybe if I tell you the story it'd be easier. Okay, here I go."


Loki was many's tool of destruction. A child mercenary that would work for anyone that could give him a bit to eat. Loki slaughtered whole villages and cities, nobody able to defend against the child. He killed and killed, and finally he killed his whole team. This was proof that he was not just a mindless killer, he had a conscience, he felt guilt. Loki came into the capital, where he met a large amount of people who knew the demon child. They evacuated the city, and many children who had lost their parents to him stood ready to fight him. Those children were killed, all but ten. "You'll die for something so useless. You already know that you're going to die." Those ten children lifted their weapons, "We will avenge our families, our friends!" Loki scoffed, "Fine then. Avenge them." The ten children charged, and were surprised when the boy didn't move. Each weapon pierced through his body, blood spurted out of his mouth, "There.. they.. will rest in peace." Loki fell to the ground and the children walked away, all but three. "He's still alive." Speedy frowned, "We'll treat him then. He really did try to atone for his sins." Tiger frowned and she picked up Loki to their home. "Why... Help.. him?" Speedy looked at Bear, "Because he spared us." The other two's eyes widened, "What?" Speedy laughed, "We never would have made it out alive without him. He spared us." Tiger laughed bitterly, "So we owe him?" Bear nodded, "A life... for a life..." Tiger pulled out each weapon, and Loki smiled through it all. "The pain is... satisfying." Speedy frowned as he looked at the boy, the boy screamed. Loki coughed and laughed, "Why save me? You think I spared you?" 


Tiger washed him, he was covered in blood, but there was no wound. "He healed so quickly." Loki smiled, "You think they call me a demon for nothing? What do you think I am.. a human?" Speedy looked into the demon's eyes, "Why did you spare us?" Loki's sadistic smile appeared on his face, "I spared your life on a whim nothing more." Bear grabbed him by the throat, "Then.. why you.. let hurt you?" Loki laughed, "Pain... is something that I deserve." Speedy's eyes widened, "You..." Loki laughed, "Punishment, I needed to punish myself. The anger and guilt of destroying towns, cities, families, and my home... It's been ripping at my heart, and I can feel it! I can feel it being ripped to shreds!" Tiger shook her head, "He's crazy." Speedy frowned, with a twisted childhood like his... he'd have to be. "Let him go." Bear put him down and Tiger looked to Speedy, "What are you doing?" Speedy smiled, "He deserves a second chance." Tiger frowned, "He's a demon, a monster. He should be killed. Ripped to shreds, sliced into a thousand pieces, and then burned to a crisp!" Bear nodded in agreement, and Speedy could only look at Loki. "Does this child really deserve to be killed so mercilessly?" Speedy turned and saw him. The legendary knight of judgement. "He has destroyed many cities and villages, seas of blood stain his small hands." Percival laughed, he removed his helmet, revealing his own red eyes. "You know, that I've done the same." Loki's eyes widened. The others gasped in surprise. "I've slayed whole villages that worship and serve the Creatures of Chaos." Percival smiled, "With strength like that, why not use him to our advantage?" Percival put back on his helmet and stood at his full height. 


"You all know what he looks like." Speedy's eyes were full of wonder, "You remember when he stood at his full height? His cape would always be shaking with the wind, the legendary unicorn tail that pointed out of the top of his helmet drifting along with the cape. He was truly an amazing sight." Ray frowned, "So Loki has been a weapon all along?" Speedy laughed bitterly, "He may be a maniac in battle. A lunatic out of battle. However, he is still human. If you think that Percival only brought him in because of his power, then you don't know any of him at all." Archon nodded, "Percival took him in because he saw something else. He saw someone that he could help, and a child that could protect. One that would eventually wield his own blade." War smiled, "Then what are we waiting for?" Archon nodded, "Let's go save our brother!"


Loki looked into his younger brother's dark crimson eyes. He remembered those. They were still full of the same hatred, the hatred for his older brother. Their crimson eyes locked, and they held their blades in their hands. "So I can finally get revenge... after all of these years." Lyon laughed, the blade shaking in his hand, his maniacal laughter overcoming the loud sound of thunder. "I'm gonna avenge our parents! See me mom and dad? I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna kill him!" Loki smiled, the black sheep of the family, Lyon had always been a weak fighter. Still, there was something in him that helped him kill even better than Loki. Loki raised his sword, if Lyon knew how to kill immortals, then Loki was dead meat.
