Vixion: 2

A Chapter by karmic

They're leaving home and their story is beginning, but what will they leave behind?

That night Elsine had a dream of the day they were attack in Rushco. Elsine was standing over Jake after punching him. The Trigent ripped off the roof of the abandon house and went to step on them.

“Do something brother!” Jake pled. Elsine legs began to shake from fear, but then his fear turned into anger. Elsine raised his hand in the air as the foot came down. Elsine’s arm turned into metal as the robot’s foot reached them. Elsine held the foot up with all his strength.

“Brother, you’re a…. You’re a Vixion” Jake stuttered. The metal on Elsine’s arm began to break due to the pressure of the robot foot.

“I can’t hold it” Elsine yelled. Jake was still on the floor; he was stunned by his brother’s ability. Jake then stood up and helped Elsine hold up the Trigent’s leg. Both sibling used all their strength and pushed the Trigent over onto its back. Jake looked at his hand in disbelief.

“That Trigent felt heavy, but lighter then I thought it would be” Jake thought. Elsine fell to the floor and began coughing; he then started throwing up blood.

“What’s wrong Elsine?” Jake panicked.

“My chest, it feels like its on fire” Elsine cried out in pain. Elsine took off his shirt and saw something coming out of his chest. It looked like a portal. The Trigent stood back up and shot a rocket at the siblings.

“Brother! Help!” Jake closed his eyes and held his head. A barrier appeared in front of the rocket. Both the rocket and the barrier blew up.

“Did I do that?” Jake muttered.

“Ahh” Elsine yelled out in agony. A sword slowly came out of the portal; the sword was covered in blood.

“A sword?” Elsine coughed. The portal in his chest then closed up. The sword had kind of a curve to it at the tip of the blade and glowed. The Trigent switched back to his machine gun and aimed it at Jake.

“Don’t you dare hurt him” Elsine barked, while standing to his feet, with his new sword in hand. The Trigent turned to Elsine and fired. Elsine dodged the bullets and climbed up the Trigent’s leg. Elsine jumped and landed on the Trigent’s head; his sword started sparking. Elsine thrusted his sword into the Trigent’s head. The Trigent blew up and blasted Elsine into a building’s wall.

“Brother!” Jake shouted. Elsine fell down slowly; Jake caught Elsine with his barrier. Jake ran and picked Elsine up off the barrier. Elsine’s face was completely covered with blood. Jake put Elsine’s arm around his neck and started walking down the street. The town was surrounded by fire and the sound of gunshots.

“Hey brother” Elsine whispered.

“Yea?” Jake panted.

“I’m sorry for hitting you” Elsine apologized.

“It’s okay. I know how you feel about father. I should have never mentioned it” Jake replied. Elsine’s sword still dragged in his hand as the limped down the road. Elsine let out a small chuckle.

“What’s so funny?” Jake asked. Elsine shook his head and looked up at the sky.

“Remember when we were younger and always wanted to be superheroes?” Elsine grinned.

“Yea and we fought for which power we would have” Jake laughed.

“I always wanted super strength” Elsine sighed. Elsine looked up at Jake who was shaking his head.

“Hm?” Elsine blinked his eyes.

“Nothing. It’s just that you also wish to have the power of Trisha falling in love with you” Jake chuckled.

“I don’t remember that!” Elsine yelled.

“When you were six, you wished for that” Jake shrugged.

“Shut up like I would ever…” Elsine paused.

“Trisha!” Elsine shouted, while running towards her house.

“Brother wait for me!” Jake followed behind him. Elsine stopped in front of Trisha’s house and saw the door was broken in. Elsine ran inside the house.

“Trisha” he called out. Elsine ran up stair and found and a soldier pointing a gun at Trisha and her father.

“Elsine!” she cried out. The soldier turned around and went to shoot, but before he could; Elsine had already penetrated the soldier’s chest with his fist. Blood exploded from the soldier’s back.

“Elsine?” Trisha muttered. A huge explosion then happen.

Elsine woke up from his dream, it was already past midnight. Elsine looked at Jake who was still sleeping.

“That was the first time I ever saw her afraid of me” Elsine thought, as he got out of bed.

“That expression she had that day still haunts me” he whispered.

“You had the dream too huh?” Jake opened his eyes and sat up on his bed. Elsine nodded his head.

“Are you ready?” Elsine asked; he pulled his suitcase from under his bed.

“Yes brother” Jake nodded. The two left their room quietly; Elsine reached for the door knob to exit the house.

“Leaving already? Hah not even a goodbye from you two” Mr. Bell shook his head.

“How did you know?” Jake asked.

“I knew you kids since you were born. You don’t think I know what’s going on?” Mr. Bell sat down at the table.

“We didn’t want to go through the whole goodbye ceremony” Elsine explained.

“So you were going to let us worry?” Mr. Bell questioned. Elsine stood quiet and looked down at the floor.

“You two are just like him” Mr. Bell muttered.

“No we are not!” Elsine barked.

“Quiet brother you’ll wake Trisha” Jake exclaimed. Mr. Bell smiled and put his hand in his pocket; he then pulled out an envelope.

“What fools you are. How were you two going to travel?” he looked at the envelope.

“Well, um…Me and Jake were going to get on a train” Elsine replied.

“Without any money? You guys are already being chased for being Vixions. Now you want to bring more attention yourselves?” Mr. Bell threw the envelope at Jake; Jake caught it and looked at it.

“It’s money from your father. You two should use it” Mr. Bell suggested; he then got up and left the room.

“Leave it here Jake” Elsine said, while opening the door.

“Elsine don’t b stupid. We could use this money” Jake responded.

“You’re going to use that money after that b*****d joined the military and killed big brother because he was a Vixion” Elsine barked. Jake looked at the envelope sadly.

“I don’t understand how our mother forgave that man” Elsine continued. Jake placed the envelope on the desk next to the door. Elsine walked out first; Jake grabbed the envelope again and stuffed it into his pocket.

“This is to help us. You will understand one day” Jake thought, while following behind him and closing the door. Mr. Bell heard the door close and let out a sigh.

“Goodbye boys” he muttered. Mr. Bell walked by Trisha’s room and saw her sleeping. Trisha had the ribbon tied in her in her hair.

“You really don’t know how much you’re hurting her” Mr. Bell thought.

“Where do you think we can sneak on?” Elsine asked, as he observed the train and the guards.

“Two ticket please” Jake said to the ticket holder. Jake reached into his pocket and grabbed the envelope; he took out thirty dollars and handed it to the ticket holder.

“Thank you” Jake said, while taking the tickets.

“There an opening” Elsine said happily. Elsine began running toward the train as it started moving.

“Hey what does that kid think e is doing?” a guard yelled.

“Sorry sir. This is his ticket” Jake explained. Jake showed the guard the two tickets. Jake ran behind his brother. Elsine grabbed the back of the steam powered train and climbed up.

“Hurry up Jake!” Elsine laughed, while reaching out his hand.

“Damn you brother” Jake mumbled. Jake jumped and grabbed Elsine’s hand.

“Ow. Easy up on the strength!” Elsine barked. Elsine turned his free hand into metal and grabbed the train.

“You know I can’t control my power that well” Jake cried out. Jake was hanging from the train as it sped down the tracks. Elsine finally pulled Jake up, they both entered the train.

“See it was easy sneaking on this train” Elsine laughed. They found an empty booth and walked inside.

“So where are we headed?” Jake questioned. Elsine lied down on the seat opposite of Jake.

“Where are we headed? Hm” Elsine thought.

“You don’t know where we are going?” Jake groaned.

“Nope” Elsine replied.

“That’s so irresponsible” Jake scolded.

“I know” Elsine admitted. Elsine turned over on the seat.

“Get some sleep. What ever stop we land on when we wake up is the one we’re getting off on” Elsine yawned. Jake sighed and looked out the window; he watched as the rows of houses outside turned into trees.

“Your going to miss her aren’t you?” Jake asked. Elsine opened his eyes, but didn’t turn around.

“Its okay. You don’t have to answer” Jake assured, while lying down.

“I already know the answer” he whispered, and then fell asleep.
