"Self destruct sequence activated..."
"Fool!!!" Fenris growled, his crimson eyes piercing Rave's, "do you not realize you cannot return to them any more?!" He snapped. Rave wrenched his sword from the control panel, as the two of them began to turn aetherial. His friends shouted at them, eyes of disbelief radiate from their eyes. Rave made the concious choice, to save them, he was willing to become a phantom in their world, an aetherial being, unable to interact with them. All so he could give them their future.
"Yeah, I'm aware, brother. But this way, I can save them!" Rave replied. His blue eyes staring back to his brothers. "You're naive. Thinking this will save the world. My plan was perfect! You fulfilled every task I set out for you. Yet here, when your role was finished, you stand before me, opposing me and my plan to world salvation!" Fenris barked back.
"Saving the world?! You stepped on other people to take the power of gods! Even the Fenris of this world! And what of Ember?! You killed her too! All for the power to slay gods? No. You're the one who's naive!" Rave snapped back.
"Neccessary sacrifices! A new world is built upon the ashes of old! My home, it has been consumed by darkness! The you from our world... he sought to save it, even if it meant destroying his friends to do so!"
"Is it really salvation if everyone is just a pawn in your game?! That's not salvation! Its enslavement!" Rave barked back. Fenris sighed. The two realized they would not come to an understanding. "I had hoped to avoid this, brother. You of all people, I thought you would have agreed with me. But i see now. You who shines so brilliantly in the light, would never understand the sacrifices of those made in the darkness. If I am to be victorious in my dream, then as much as it pains me, I must kill you dear brother!" Fenris said drawing his lance and shield, and when I do, I'll take your aether and become whole again!"
Rave glared back at him. His brother was serious, his aether swirled about him in tremendous force. Rave looked back to his friends once again, "get them out of here, Starweaver!" Rave shouted at the lalafellin mage. Denze removed his shades, and looked to the miqo'te, he seemed upset, but knew there was little he could do to assist him. "As you wish, Rave. I leave the fate of the world in your hands." He said as he began to conjure a portal out of the self destructing omega weapon. As each of his allies were ushered out, Denze paused before his turn, trying to see a future where he continue to fight. But alas, no such vision came. "You rely too much on that power old man. Are you really living if you already know what's going to happen?" Rave smirked, Denzyne chuckled a bit, "You may be right about that." He said as he stepped through his portal.
Rave grinned, "good bye, Starweaver, I entrust the realm to your capable hands my friend." Rave said as he drew forth his mother's sword. Fenris and Rave stared back to each other, anger swelling up in both of them. "Done with your goodbyes? Good. Now let's see whose path is right! Your naive path of struggle, or my overwhelming power to banish the darkness forever? Come brother! Show me the extent of your will!" Fenris shouted as he rocket towards Rave, his lance pointed at his chest.
Fenris closed the gap at lightning speed. His lance bursting forth with the warring triads aether. With only a fraction of a second to react, Rave side stepped the lance, its top embedding into the metal flooring. Upon connecting, the aether erupted, sending a massive burst of aether crashing into one of the walls. Smoke and rubble crumbled away as he raised his shield. Rave leapt at him from above, his blade ready to strike.
His blade struck the shield, metal on metal rang out its shrill cry. Sparks flying from their weapons with every mighty blow. Fenris lunged at Rave once more. As the blue haired miqo'te displaced himself from the Lance's range, he summoned forth his pistol, firing a few shots at his brother.
The bullets struck the shield as Fenris charged forward. "You'll need to do better than that brother!!!" Fenris growled as Rave landed on his feet. A smirk forming on his face. "Hawke, you better be glad I paid attention in our duel!" Rave said as he snapped his fingers. Fenris quickly turned around, holding his shield up towards his face as the bullets burst. Ice instantly encasing the shield in ice. Jumping to safety. Fenris launched a burst of light aether at Rave while mid-air. Rave fired a few more rounds at the incoming attacks, but the aether simply absorbed the magicked bullets. As Rave dodged the blast, he rolled to safety, landing on his knees. As he began to stand up, Fenris was already upon him. Raising his pistol, Rave attempted to fire another round, but Fenris grabbed his wrist, twisting it so he was forced to drop his weapon.
Rave grunted in discomfort as he stared in his brothers eyes. Fenris gathered aether in his hand as he balled his fingers into a fist. Rave quickly summoned forth a shield made of pure aether. Invisible to the naked eye, but solid all the same. Before Fenris could strike, Rave slammed his shield into his brothers armored chest, staggering him backwards. Rave exquipped to his daggers and began his furious assault upon his brother. Fenris blocked all the swift swings of Raves attack, until a knee was landed into the breastplate of his brother. A loud crack could be heard as the armor around the red haired miqo'te had a visible crack in it. Baring his fangs at him, Fenris placed his hand over the crack.
"Fenris! Stop this now!" Rave pleaded again. "I don't want to fight you!"
"Silence!" Fenris snarled, "You are too naive brother! Mankind will always be the same. They fight for greed and think only of themselves! How many of your friends have been lost because of this vicious cycle?! Only the light, my light can save this star!" Fenris roared as he drew his great axe. After absorbing his other half, Fenris' was fighting as a warrior of light. Determined to bring everlasting light to smite the darkness of man. Rage burned in his eyes as he charged into Rave. Rave threw his daggers at Fenris, who easily deflected them with a steel cyclone. Fenris leapt to the air, his heavy axe prepared to cleave Rave into pieces. Light aether swelled up in Fenris as he began his descent. "I am the light! I am this stars true savior! I am the Warrior of Light!!!"
"His light shines as bright as yours." Shade said in Raves mind, "if he desires to be the light, then I'll.." Rave muttered. "So you finally understand. Took you long enough. " Shade chuckled, "Do what you must do, Hero..."
