Chapter 7: It's become clear

They went to the first-tier.

"There's no one here, it's like they were expecting us."

"Maybe they always were?" Lucifer said

"There's someone here." Aak said as he pointed forward

"Welcome to my place in the first tier, the place that commands all tiers."

"Spare me your words, they make me sick." Nice said as he walked out

"Ah 13246 nice to see you or should I call you by your other name."

"Or you can't call me at all."

"Nice, control your temper."

"Behind us." Aak whispered to Glen but he was focused on Nice

And Aak changed to his wolf form and attacked the thing behind them.

"You're getting better 32414." Captain said as he was pinned under him

"That's Aak to you."

"Aak be careful." Mars said as he put his hand on Captain's shoulder

"I know."

"Didn't take you too long to take him down but did you forget about my ability as well." as shadow surrounded Captain and sunk him down next to Justin

"Damn they both are a pain."

"At this point, we might as well just force our way through."

"He's getting angrier than before." Glen thought

"Here is an idea, just drop dead here and that would be it."

"So mean." Justin taunting

"Nice calm down, he wants you to use your corruption so he can make this quick."

"You're no fun, Glen." As a shot rang out and Glen fell down

"Glen!"

Lucifer ran over and started using his ability.

"It's my fault that someone else is dying." Nice thought

"Hey Mars, be there for them both, they'll need someone like you."

"What do you mean?" As he came closer and Aak came over as well

"Nice is your cousin." Glen whispered

"What?"

"Glen might have not been there but he's not a liar."

"Come on, lose control and get this done." Justin thought

"I can't hold on to this hate forever. I still have to get back to everyone." Nice thought

"Nice? You ok?" Melody asked

"Yeah." As symbols appeared on the side of his face

"Nice, why are you using that here?!"

"Don't worry, I'm still here." Nice said as he looked at them

"Oh, this is new." Justin said

"Here I come!" As Nice starts coming at them then Aak started running over to them as he changed to his beast form and Melody changed to a lion

"Can't let them have all the fun." Kai said as he pulled a drone with something on it

"Lucifer stay with him." As Mars got up and pulled a gun readied aim at Justin

"Captain you got two I'll get the other two."

"Ok." As he stepped forward

Nice came at Captain, and so did Melody while Aak and Mars focused on Justin. Kai tried to help Mars keep an aim on Justin.

"Man, I was hoping to get the fun one oh well." Then a shot was fired at him. "You missed."

"I know." As Aak came up behind Justin and attacked him

With the other two.

"This is fun, way better than what I had thought." Captain said as he blocked Nice's attack

"Do you ever stop talking?" Melody said as she attacked

"They are both annoying but we need to get this done." As Nice and Melody regrouped

"How is your body doing?" She whispered

"It's fine for right now, let's get this done and find it out later."

And a gunshot rang out. And they all looked back at Glen holding a gun pointed at Captain.

"Lucky shot." Captain said as he fell to the ground and his copy disappeared and Glen's arm fell back to the ground

"Glen!" Aak yelled

Lucifer looked back at Mars with a sad look as his ability stopped.

"Dad?" Mars whispered

"Well, that was unexpected." As Justin started walking backwards

"You're not going anywhere." Nice said as the floor cracked below Justin

"Get him, don't waste this opportunity!" Melody yelled as she started running at him then Aak followed

"Mars come on and let's finish this!" Nice yelled

"Right." As he turned back around

Then Nice started coming after Justin.

"3 vs 1 what a terrible odd."

"This is for me!" Aak yelled as he hit him in the stomach

"My tier and everyone else!" Melody yelled as she changed human and punched him in the face

"For my family." Mars said as he just looked at him unable to do anything and Kai came over to him

"For those, you killed and finally me." Nice said as he came over and broke one of his arms

"Is that all you're going to do?" He said as he held his arm

"No." As Kai came over with something. "I've been working on this for a while."

"Don't bother escaping, you're not going anywhere." As Nice looked at him

"Here we go." As a bracelet was put on Justin's wrist. "It doesn't let you use your ability. I made it just for you in the course of one day."

"So you must've thought of everything impressive."

"Well, it's time to meet your place for your time." As the symbols on Nice's face disappeared

Mars walks over to Glen and Lucifer.

"Mars I couldn't do anything."

"No, it's fine, I thought he would do something like this. He wasn't the man that sat around. He had plenty of secrets." As Melody took Justin and passed them

"So how do you think Nice is handling this?"

"I don't know right now."

"Nice, are you ok?" Aak asked as he came over to him

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Hey come on, let's go and see Mars and head home."

"Right." As they both walked over to them

"How are you doing?" Mars asked

"Doing alright."

"This is the wrong way to be finding out we're family."

"Yeah, it is."

They did all the necessary preparations that you normally do after someone dies and they headed back to Artemis.

"Are you ready to hear my story now after being quiet for so long?"

"Alright, I guess we are ready." Kai said

Nice told them about his past.

"Why didn't you tell us earlier?!" Mars yelled

"I didn't know how you guys would react."

"Well, I don't think it really matters."

"What is done is done." Lucifer said

"Well it's over now, let's get ready for Glen's funeral in two days." Mars said as he walked off

"Try not to dwell on what is done." As the rest of them left but just Aak and Nice

"Nice, let's get some sleep and discuss what we are going to do tomorrow."

Aak headed off to bed and Nice sat there.

"It's finally over after all these years. I no longer have to search for them the ones that did this to me." As Nice got up and went to bed

Two days passed and they got ready, and they all met up and headed to the funeral.

"Hey guys, are you ready?"

"Yeah, let's get this done so we can put this behind us."

(I'm not getting into the details but if you know what happens during a funeral then ok and I'm sorry if you suffered any loss in your family)

They buried him and started walking.

"Hey, Mars and Nice are still over there."

"Yeah just leave them be for a bit." Melody said as they left the cemetery

"Hey it's ok to cry, it won't hurt you." Nice said as he looked at Mars

"Well, the man never once came back because of his job now it's just going to be I hate to say it but you're my only family now."

"Well, it sure is a strange thing to hear you say."

"That is true, come on let's go, they are waiting and it will be a bit before we can get to work but we will be ready for it." As Mars started walking away

"Fine." As Nice followed

"Good job Nice." A voice said

"?" As he turned around to see a cat, Nice smiled then turned back around. "It wasn't easy." As the cat faded

A week later.

"Come on Nice! Mars! We got a job!" Aak yelled

"Yeah, we're coming."

"Impatient."

"Well, that is just how it goes." As they all walked out the door
