Loyalty's a Fickle Friend

Finally the dust had settled. It seemed like all was revealed. Phineas began to feel immense pain amongst Jeremy's presence. The strength in Phineas' knees were lost. He fell to the ground, aching and groaning in pain, kneeling in front of the Wolf God.

Jeremy hesitated, "It's a pity, you really could've been something."

He quickly formed his light sword. Jeremy anointed Phineas with final blow. Everyone in the church turned in shock to the inevitable massacre. Hatred felt obliged to get involved yet he did not.

Jeremy shouted, "Zing Zang: Light's Fury!"

Before the blade of light could slice a single hair on Phineas' head, he had vanished in an instant. No one knew where he had gone. Jeremy started looking around for Phineas. Marco started laughed. "Let's just say the playing field has finally been levelled," Marco chuckled. Phineas' shadow seem to be in the same place. Although, Phineas' figure was hanging on top of the Wolf God. His eyes were blank blue , his skin was bitter black, his smile creeping upon them and his hair floating. "I will end you," Phineas sighed. Jeremy seemed frustrated and shocked. He clenched his light sword and leaped towards Phineas. Phineas channelled Uri into both his arms and leaped towards Jeremy. The two clashed in mid-air. The two forces struggled to combat each other. They both jumped back amongst the rubble in the church. Jeremy noticed the cracks forming in his light sword. It appeared normal on the outside, but its heart had been gasping in anguish. Jeremy hesitated to attack. Phineas charged at him, blasting holes in his intestines. The blood coloured Phineas' face. He smeared blood all over the columns' ruins. Jeremy was waiting for the fatal blow. Phineas grabbed Jeremy's fragile sword. "This kid could be a real problem with something like that," Slost sighed. As he swung the blade up in the air and immediately dropped to the ground. Phineas was knocked out clean. Marco smirked, "Such a dumbass." Slost sprinted to Phineas' unconscious body. Hatred looked at Slost. The contact between the two of them was intense. Slost developed a portal to send him and Jeremy away. Phineas woke up, he was confused and worried. Phineas was stunned and asked, "Why on Earth would you do that?" In his roughed-up state, Phineas staggered towards Marco. Hatred stood up and approached Phineas, saying, "Because I commanded him to, you were weak and you lost control." Hatred said, "If you were strong, you could've brought Jeremy down and we would've dealt with the rest." . The boys departed the crumbling chapel after accomplishing their objective, yet they still failed.

Slost was sitting in the Spades' Lair at the time, passively observing a bruised Jeremy. He was furious, repeatedly hitting the wall , and he wanted to exact revenge on the Senses. Jeremy needed to see them and wanted to do so. In a calmly manner, Slost said, "We need to do much more research on the group." Slost was torn between attempting to murder them now or waiting for a better opportunity to present its self. There was an intense atmosphere circling the room until Semsis walked in. Semsis was a little pale-faced woman with green eyes and the mannerisms of a child. She was a cheerful person, but on a bad day, she wouldn't hesitate to tear you down to a tee. Even Slost seemed a bit lost for words at her arrival, "Well what's happened here," Semsis laughed. Jeremy was hesitant to talk, so Slost stepped in and took the blame. Semsis laughed as she stumbled towards Slost. "Let's make sure this doesn't happen again, okay?" Semsis answered. She proceeded to slice her hand with a switchblade. Slost fell to the ground coughing out the blood onto the her tiny feet. Semsis smeared blood , from her hand, around Slost face. Semsis asked, "Now what do you say?" Slost was on his knees pleading to Semsis "I'm sorry and assure you it won't happen again," Slost replied. Her eyes glared towards Jeremy in the corner, he was shook. Semsis smiled, "You didn't have to apologise." She skipped out of the room blowing kisses towards Jeremy. The boy felt guilty he didn't know how he could repay Slost. Jeremy confronted and asked, " Why did you protect me?" Slost got up and pinned Jeremy to the wall. Slost replied , "If you fail the mission again, I will murder you." Jeremy was struck with fear, he hadn't seen this side of Slost before. He felt conflicted about killing the Senses, but now there was no doubt in his mind. Next time he saw the Senses the battle would be over. Sure enough ,at the next encounter, the battle would be over.
