"Hey hey...Don't cry." Matthias said as he felt Skylos hug him tight and let out a slight gasp of pain from it. "Skylos...Please make me a promise." He said as behind Skylos he began to enter his core into his back as it sank into him. " Please Skylos...Save Juda..." He said.
A huge wave of emotions would wash over Skylos as the torn up dirt around him seemed to melt away…His feet would leave the ground as he fell into a soft feeling bed surrounded by darkness. The room he was in was not very big and seemed very neglected…Suddenly there would have been the sound of a door creeking and then silently shutting. Two small hands would grab his arm and softly nudge him over and over again.
“Matthias…Matthias…”
Skylos would feel his mouth moving but not his voice; it was as if he was only a consciousness. “Hm..Yah, yah I’m awake…What is it?”
“I had another nightmare…You promised if I had another nightmare you’d stay in my room. You promised.” A small voice said as Skylos felt his hands come up and rub his eyes. “Ugh..Vexen..” Matthias said yawning as he pulled himself out of bed with his covers still draped around him. Skylos at this point would see that he was a lot smaller, probably around the age of 12.
He held his little brothers hand down the hall as Skylos would recognize the lay out since he had been there before and found the first fruit.
They came across a room as the small Vexen creaked it open revealing a small nightlight inside. This gave Skylos a more clear view on him. He actually looked just like Neon…Only he was covered in tightly wrapped bandages.
They walked inside as Vexen crawled into bed looking back at Matthias with wide blue eyes as if to test his loyalty concerning his promise.
“Alright, alright.” Matthias yawned sitting in the small bed with his little brother as his little brother wrapped tightly around his arm.
The room would start melting away as a flurry of other memories flooded Skylos’s thoughts! He would see the first day of school, Matthias breaking his leg falling off a roof, Vexens 8th birthday, etc. Suddenly it would slow down as the environment became a school yard.
Skylos’s fist would start to hurt as he would notice blood over his knuckles below. He began breathing heavily and one of his eyes felt as though it closed shut from absolute pain, or in other words a black eye. “Get it through your thick skull.” Matthias said as in front of Skylos would be a rather big kid whose face was swollen and nose was bleeding from Matthias’s punch. “If I ever see you touching my little brother again you’ll regret it!” He threatened.
“You and your brother are freaks!” The boy yelled running away with his cowardly friends since the number game seemed to not work in this. Matthias turned around and comforted the hurt Vexen crying on the ground. This time he looked like an exact clone of Neon with slightly shorter hair. “I miss mom…” The little boy cried very hard to understand past all the sobbing.
“ He was so frail…We always had him go to the hospital because of how weak his bones and flesh were..” Toms voice spoke into Skylos as he pulled up Vexen and carried him on his back.
“ I hated that house…” Tom started. “ The secret that Father kept in that house…Haunted Vexen everynight. Made his nightmares so much worse each time…And my father knew it…So he sent us away.” He spoke. “ We didn’t see much of our dad…He was such a generous and loving father but he was always in his basement…He never allowed us near the staircase that lead to it. He loved us so much…But he cared about that basement so much more. He sent us to live with one of his friends for awhile…Vexen got so much better, he started laughing and playing again. And he slept for hours without being disturbed.
And then our father was found dead on the staircase with a slit throat.” Skylos would see the funeral, people crying, dressed in black, maybe even some pantechs he noticed. He saw himself holding a completely sobbing Vexen who looked to be about 14 now fully aware that they were now orphans. Skylos’s vision would change again as he would see himself standing before a grave leaving flowers in it. The Grave read:
R.I.P Thomas Pantech
“ I always liked that name tom…”
Skylos would see everything begin to change again as they seemed to be at a party. Matthias was about 25 at this age, while Vexen was sitting him as well. He looked a lot more confident in himself as he drank some wine from his glass. Suddenly there would be a woman who sat near them. “ And then she came…” Tom started. Skylos would be feeling his heart start to beat and beat…It felt like love as he looked into this womans eyes. However, when she reached over and kissed Vexens cheek,
Skylos would feel his heart break about a thousand times as if it had happened so many times before. “ I loved her so much…But her heart was for my brother, he deserved her after all. She was so kind..So generous..So perfect. And soon after became a Pantech with Vexen.
Juda Pantech.” Skylos would see himself at a bar, knowing completely that Vexen and Juda’s wedding was happening, but Matthias was too busy getting drunk to completely drowned his depression. “ Everything was so great for them…Until he decided to move in with her to our old house. That..Evil..Evil house.” Toms voice said sounding quiet. “ She began talking to me about his changes in behavior…The Vexen we both knew started acting more aggressive. She said he started having a very unhealthy obsession with hell…A place of eternal burning and punishment. He spent day in and day out trying to get into fathers basement…But no matter what he tried it wouldn’t allow him to enter. He constantly yelled that ‘apart of him.’ Was in that basement…The very thing that drove my father to insanity.”
Skylos would then start having flashbacks of that fruit locked in that container when he went into the basement before. “ That fruit…Ruined my families life…” He said as it would shift again. Matthias was sitting with Juda in a bar of some sort. She was crying…Very hard. “It seemed Vexen left for a top secret thing…He told Juda that it was telling him to go there in his dreams…The Aperture Science Laboratory. She asked me to promise her that I would keep an eye on him, so I went there myself. But as I was about to leave…She told me something that killed me once again.” Tom said. In Skylos’s eyes he would see Juda mouth ‘I’m pregnant.’
Skylos would yet again see the room dissolve as well as Juda as Matthias would be inside of the laboratory with his brother Vexen. Vexen looked…Much taller and more serious. In fact he somewhat resembled the Vexen that Skylos had first met. He was no longer the sensitive young man Matthias knew him to be. There was a man before them talking…Skylos couldn’t make out what he was saying because Matthias wasn’t even beginning to pay attention.
Around them, would be a huge number of people. Standing near the talking man would be Atticus wearing a black suit. Behind the man talking would be a digital board with the term.
“Project: CHAOS”. Matthias was completely aware that he may not survive this, as each of these men and women were. But he wasn’t going to allow his little brother to do this alone, no matter how he acted. In the crowd Skylos would be seeing somebody staring at him…There would be a familiar face watching him…Sin Realm looking exactly the same (other than being able to see his mouth that wasn’t hidden underneath his clothes.), and didn’t seem to have his piercing blue eye leave the dark human. If Skylos looked around he would see some familiar faces, he would see A rather younger demon realm, and even Loki who was yawning and looking rather uninterested either, He even saw Kinta who was sharpening one of his sharp talons as he leaned against the wall. He looked up at Kinta and spit on the ground with a sharp grin.
Ahead of him he would also see Craven and Sophia standing near each other as well looking over each of the people. Were they a part of the project as well or just studying people? The man discussed that this project was anything but new, they had been working on it for a very very very long time and still success was very slim. The Consequence was permanent, but the benefit was completely out of this reality. The room began to shift as Skylos’s eyes closed and then opened. He was laying down on an operating table, a sudden pulse would start up as Atticus Spark looked down at the man.
“Congratulations, you are one of the few who are now a part of the future.” Everything a chaos human needed would go through Skylos’s head. He saw them discussing to Matthias about his realm that his mind seemed to automatically create, The heart that each Chaos human must choose in order to provide safety and sanity to control the enormous power they were given, If he didn’t then Matthias would slowly go insane while the heart would not be able to stable itself out, and the Chaos Form that manifests itself when ones true power is unlocked, but still all he cared about was his brother...
“Your Chaos Form has proved to be too uncontrollable.” Atticus said as they were sitting at a desk. “I have designed this potion for you to control yourself. You must take it 24 hours a day or else you will slowly lose yourself once again.” He placed a black like bubbling substance on the desk. “I will give you a wide amount of this…But when you run out I expect you to return to me and refill it. We can’t have that other side of yours breaking out again.”
Atticus said.
Skylos felt his head nod in agreement with Mr. Spark as they shook hands. What Atticus didn’t mention is this Liquid also kept Matthias from losing his mind when he didn’t collect souls like the other Chaos Humans. “ When Atticus had suddenly disappeared from the lab and I couldn’t’ find him I had to fight myself from losing my sanity each day…With the mixture of my mental agony and the desire to see Neon and Skylos I went to them…But when I showed myself to them I was already mostly gone…I thank god they only had to endure half of what I really am…A monster.”
This was the power Vexen had wanted for so long…He didn’t need me to protect him anymore. After the operations were done and they released us after ages from the lab he seemed to just disappear…I looked everywhere for him. He left Juda completely alone with the child…” Skylos then saw himself holding a little child crying in his arms in the hospital. An exhausted looking Juda next to him with her hand on his arm. “ Neon…” He said staring at the tiny little boy. “ That boy reminded me of Vexen so much…The old Vexen..” He said. The room would shift suddenly as Skylos was in a somewhat familiar house…He would see a younger version of his father greeting and hugging him as
Matthias walked into their house. “It’s so nice to see you again old friend! We’ve been wanting you to meet someone for awhile.” Walter said. As they walked into a room Skylos would see his mother playing with him as a small baby child. The adorable little boy looked over towards Matthias and gave a little wave. “ That child was so adorable…” Matthias said as he picked up and held the little Skylos trying to reach up and grab the hat he was wearing. “ Skylos…” He said. “ Walter knew that I loved him so much that whenever they would need me to watch over him I would do it in a heartbeat.
“And then that other man came…” He started as the baby Skylos disappeared. Matthias was walking through the forest as there came a man and a young lady before him…He recognized them from the Science Laboratory. Skylos would see Craven and Sophia come into view as he adjusted his hat. “ He told me there was a reason we were chosen like others before us. If I were to accept then he promised that our true purpose would be fulfilled.”
Skylos felt himself turn away and begin walking.
“ He told me that my brother had agreed to join…In fact he had not sold his soul, he sold his families..” Skylos felt his head shoot over towards Craven and fill with anger. “ That man who called himself Death threatened me that if I don’t join that there will be consequences. And one way or another I will be joining them.” Matthias’s fists were shaking as Craven and Sophia both began to disappear. Matthias raced as fast as the speed of light to Vexen and Juda’s house.
He would see Juda standing in front of the window holding the sleeping Neon in her tight arms. She turned around with tears in her eyes as she handed Neon carefully to Matthias. “Please take him…” She said. “Vex-…” She said stopping herself, she couldn’t even say his name. “That man will be here very soon..He spoke through my mind earlier telling me that he was going to take me and Neon away…He’ll have a harder time finding Neon if he’s with you.” She begged. Matthias couldn’t help but cry as he stared at her. “ Please come with me…” He begged.
Juda shook her head and looked at Matthias. “Please don’t let anything happen to Neon…” She said. With a long pause Matthias nodded as he gave Juda a kiss…The first and the last kiss that would forever haunt him in his heart. With that, Matthias vanished in mid air.
Matthias knew that Vexen would surely hunt him down first in search for Neon..So he paid a visit to a very old friend. Matthias had saved his life once from falling into debt with a very dangerous death demon gang..
He was A very paranoid Death human known as John. He wasn’t anywhere near connected to the pantech family and was barely accepted in his own. But Matthias trusted him, since he knew Vexen would never make the connection back to them. “I…I can’t do this. I don’t want to put me and my wife’s lives in jeopardy!”
John complained to Matthias. “ I assure you John…I will be keeping an eye on you both in the shadows. I have a way now to make sure nobody will even know you both live here. As long as I am around you will never be found, all I ask is that you take care of him until he is old enough to leave.” Matthias said. As John gave a sigh and went back into the house to tell his wife Matthias looked at Neon and gave a heavy sigh. “ I won’t live in a world where your lost…” He spoke as he reached in his chest and pulled out a glowing like substance as he carefully placed it inside the little Neon.
“ I made him one of my hearts…Him along with Skylos the night before while he was sleeping…It almost felt as if my heart were reaching for the both of them..” He said.
“ That was the last conversation I had with the man…Before I was given no choice.” He said. Suddenly there would be a vision Skylos would see as john would be crawling on the ground in pain and covered in blood. Matthias’s arm was the long scythe and his wings were spread to their full width. He grinned with his long yellow teeth and stepped on Johns back. “I warned you, you piece of shit! You almost made me break a promise…Now you’re going to regret that!” Matthias said with a voice that wasn’t his own…
He picked up John’s scythe that he had tried to defend himself with and stabbed it into John’s heart just before he was able to scream. He rammed his hand through John and pulled out his core, and would ingest it. Behind Matthias more wings would spring out, they were long skeleton ones now. This was the third and final time Matthias took another person’s core and made it his own…” He was going to hand Neon over to the Chaos humans…
I had lost control and had to stop him…”
Skylos would then see himself standing before a flaming house reflecting in both his sunglasses. Vexen stood before him breathing heavily and completely coated in anger. “Where’s that boy?!” He yelled to his brother. “His soul belongs to me!” Vexen would have darkness moving around him with a red tint like blood as it seemed to feed off of the flaming house behind them. Vexen had burnt down the entire neighborhood with his darkness…
Except for their own house. Matthias said nothing as he gave a serious tone. “Where is Juda..” He said threateningly. “What did you do to Juda…”
Vexen laughed to himself evilly as he heard this. “What’s wrong Matthias? Or should I call you ‘Tom’? Do you think that you have earned our dead fathers name? Or maybe you feel your keeping him alive or something by being called that.” He laughed.
“As for Juda…I gave that bitch to Death Realm. Those people are so generous they are allowing me to keep my childs soul for my own gain in power. It rather makes sense to me.” He laughed.
Skylos felt rage swallow him up as he let out an anger filled yell.
“ How could you do this? To your own Family?! To a perfect woman…To a perfect son…Your not my brother. You aren’t the real Vexen!” Matthias yelled as his skin began to change color to black and white and the long wings behind him sprouted forth with his hand becoming a long scythe growing more blades from the power’s he had gained since the last time he used it. Vexen meanwhile began to change into the form Skylos had fought in hell as he roared angrily.
All that happened next was sudden movements from both of them…Everything would go black for Skylos as the last thing he heard would ring through his mind…
“ Matthias…Matthias…You awake?” Vexen said with a very small and frail voice.
“Yah…I’m awake now…What’s wrong now?” The younger Matthias said as well.
“ I love you…”
