-the final battle between them all is taking place. janus loses his world-

The kids from yesterday

Theodore screamed, white hot pain flared in his side as he tried to avoid the white and black sludge that swarmed them like hot tar.

He collapsed onto one knee, he touched his side, a sticky liquid leaking from his wound. He hissed in pain at the touch.

“not so strong without your brother, are you?” a voice taunted from in front of him. he looked up and paled ten times more.

White hair, silver leather jacket and pristine white clothes. His silver eyes bore into Theodore’s soul as he looked onwards. He let out a shaky laugh.

“your going to die for hurting my baby brother and his family,” he grinned. “not before you bleed out,” insanity grinned looking at the side who was struggling to stand on his feet.

Roman looked up from the floating piece of the mindscape that he had gotten caught on. his eyes went wide as he saw Theodore’s condition. They had been at this for a good ten minuets and were all growing tired running. They had tried to follow depressions advice but with wrath back and angrier than before, it was getting much harder to do anything.

Roman didn’t know what to do anymore. He barely had enough energy to focus. Whatever that white sludge was, if even got a small drop on you… it felt as if you could go to sleep. he panted as he tried to gather enough energy. something collided with his back, sending him sprawling onto the floor. White hot pain seared into his flesh and bone.

He let out a scream of pure agony as his back collided with the floor. “ROMAN!” yelled Virgil as he used his extra limbs to climb up to the others platform. wrath hot on his heels. He didn’t care. His friend was in danger.

Logan had ben startled when Janus woke up screaming grasping his side in pain. But what made Logan worry was the fact it wasn’t the side he had thrown the other onto the ground on. “Janus?!” Patton shouted, panicked by the other. “Theo…Theodore…I need to… help,” his eye began to flicker whilst small dribbles of black liquid dropped out of its socket.

Logan backed away slightly, Patton doing the same as well.

Janus’s scales shifted to black, his clothes shifting along with his mind. His old black jumper was a welcome feel as his mind was reeling. His brother was in pain. And whoever did it was going to regret being alive.

He felt his smile grow on his face, he felt his eyes go wide as ideas flooded his mind. “Janus…” Logan said. “we’ve got some sides to turn into corpses,” he giggled standing up. his arms relaxed by his sides.

He slowly tilted his head at the two other sides in the room before turning to the door at the back and skipping over and opening it. “what are you waiting for?” he giggled.

Logan stared at his…no… that wasn’t him… this was his complete snap. He’d seen the other snap half way, the pain from his brother must have been clouding his judgement.

Standing up, he offered a hand to Patton to help him up, and soon they were on their way.

They had not been expecting to see what they did. Remus was stuck on the ground… Virgil was fighting wrath, stopping him from getting close to roman. Janus could sense his brother, but couldn’t see him.

He lifted his hand in front of himself. A pale-yellow matter surged into life and wrapped around his hand, pulling him up to the sky, his laughter was heard by the others as he hung from the sky by only the yellow… whatever is was.

He let out an ear-piercing whistle. There was nothing after…then…The ground began to shake much more than before. they turned their eyes to look behind the deceitful side…

Two snake slit eyes pierced behind the dark as the form began to solidify.

“holy shit…” Logan muttered…Patton could only nod in response. “Janus!” Logan yelled up, grabbing his attention, “get to Theodore!”

Janus nodded and was off within seconds, the giant snake behind him slithering forwards and making his way to help Virgil and roman.

Logan spread his wings and shot into the sky before diving down and grabbing Remus. “heads up sweetheart!” he said as he dropped him down by roman.

Patton on the ground shifted himself into Lilly Patton. And began to leap onto the platforms to get over and help the others with keeping wrath busy.

Logan seeing them all going to be okay soared over to help Janus as best as he could.

“Patton, are you okay?!” Remus asked looking at Patton with shock. “I’m fine… we need to keep wrath busy until Janus and Theodore fuse together!”

Wrath stared at Patton and laughed, “that won’t happen, insanity wouldn’t let it.” Remus turned to face the orange side, “well then… we can still keep you busy,” he turned to face roman who held the same look on his face. “it’s now or never,”

Wrath caught on too late. A green and red light swirled into one. The form gave f one of authority and power that could barely be rivalled. the colours faded and king stood in its place.

He blinked; his chromatic eyes stared at wrath with rage. Black ink pouring out of one, gold out of the other. the green and red caped flapped in the air as he surged forwards sword at the ready and shield on guard.

Wrath cursed under his breath as he dodged the fusion. This was still bad. Not as bad as self-preservation. But it could still end up putting a number on him either way.

Their weapons clashed together, as they stood in a stand still Patton launched himself at wrath, knocking the side of the edge of the island and crashing to the floor. the snake nodded at them, turning to face wrath and slamming his tail down on the figure. He could keep him busy for now.

The frog, king and spider looked between each other before leaping onto the floating platforms trying to get up to the top.

Janus dropped himself down in front of insanity but in front of his brother. “finally listening to your calling then repression?” insanity said. “no… I’m here for my brother. There’s something we need to do.”

Insanity summoned his rapier. Pointing it at Janus. But he only laughed and summoned his staff, his chest plate appearing in its correct position on his body. insanity lunged forwards, only to get swatted in the side by the yellow sludge. Wrapping it around the side like a cocoon. Swallowing him whole.

Janus relaxed and turned to his brother. He got a small nod; he knew what needed to be done.

Pink and yellow light swirled together. The figure on one knee showed itself through the mist. four eyes, two pale yellow and the other bright pink. Hair tied back in a ponytail. Scales littered the right of their face. Their body was protected by armour and they held a much larger scythe in two out of four arms.

They walked forwards, the other sided arriving from behind them. “you purposefully attacked people who did no harm to Thomas, you got your waring long ago… all these years and you have proven you can’t be trusted….”

He looked at the king. “do it…” king responded, he faced insanity, “the executioner will do his duty. Goodbye old friend.” “goodbye Samuel.” He swung the scythe down…

He disappeared into a silver mist, it swirled in the air before vanishing. A weak smile appeared on his face. self-preservation turned to face creativity. “it’s been far too long Romulus,” “I could say the same to you atlas, but alas I have to leave… as do you.” “goodbye my friend,” atlas smiled. “goodbye” there were two blinding lights.

Red and green split… pink and yellow as well.

Janus held onto Theodore in a hug as they formed. Theodore’s shoulder slung over his own. A weak smile on both their faces.

Roman and Remus formed seconds later holding hands. a wide grin on both their faces.

Time seemed to slow down as Janus felt himself being shoved to the ground. he looked up to see Theodore looking at him with a smile on his face… his eyes locked on his brother. Who collapsed down onto his knees and side.

He felt the phantom pain in his stomach and surged forwards. Cradling his brothers head in his lap. “Theodore? Theodore! Can you hear me?!” he said shaking his brother gently. “are…you…okay?” he whispered barely audibly. “you’re a fool. What the fuck did you do?!” Janus cried, tears pooling in his eyes. “you’ll be fine… you’ve got them,” “how can I live without you?” Janus muttered, tears pouring on his cheeks. “I love you baby brother…” Theodore whispered, tears pouring down his own cheeks. “I love you too,” his voice cracked.

Janus glanced to his left, Logan kneeled down next to Theodore. “it’s okay, we’ll take care of him,” he weakly smiled, tears pricking his eyes, “you can rest.”

Janus felt his brother go limp in his arms and screamed. Not one of pain. Not one of excitement or fear. but pure grief.

His eyes became black, scales shifting along with them. he gently placed his brother on the ground, closing his eyes.

He stood up and turned to wrath who stood still. Staring at Janus with a smirk that seemed to falter as he saw Janus’s broken look. “… enjoy the deepest pits of hell bastard,” Janus growled as he gripped his brothers’ staff and charged with so much speed that he couldn’t react. Blood splattered the scythe as wraths head rolled to the floor, body collapsing in a heap.

Janus turned back to his brother. Placing the scythe gently on the ground and walking towards him. Scooping him up into his arms… not saying a word.

He walked away…his brother in his arms… no one spoke, they just followed. Logan picking up the scythe before he left.

Each side looked at Janus with guilt and pity, each one of them mourning for the person they had met just that morning.

They arrived at the mirror in the mindscape and walked through… they walked for what felt like hours to all of them. a rock formation covered in vines was their location. Remus felt something inside him break as they walked forwards past the vines and into the cove.

The ruins still there from that day long ago.

Janus placed his brother on the ground kneeling down next to him… “were home,” he muttered voice cracking as he wept.

Remus clung onto Logan as he silently cried into the other. Patton didn’t know what to do. His mind yet to process what was happening. roman cried silently… looking at the figure crying over his brother who wasn’t there. Virgil shook with grief… he may have hated the other… but he was still his friend… and now he couldn’t even say sorry for leaving them years ago.

They stayed there. Until Janus had cried himself to sleep. But none of them had the will to move him. They stood there filled with guilt, wishing to bring Theodore back for their friend.
