"Lucavex, what the devil are you doing?"
Anders Vonhouzen peered at the Doctor quizzically as Lucavex approached him, two female figures in tow. The doctor's pale crimson were narrowed into slits, as he walked towards Anders with purpose, determination.
"Only what has to be done, old friend..." Lucavex remarked, drawing a blade from his labcoat and thrusting it into the chest of Anders without skipping a beat, piercing a lung with perfect precision. Anders coughed, blood already flecked on his chapped lips.
"W-Why...?" Anders looked to the Doctor for an answer, who returned only a cold expression. The wind had picked up, a biting chill filling the night air in Rull as rain started to fall on it's now crowded streets. Micah had stumbled onto the scene with Arcturus, just in time to watch Lucavex behead Anders with a flick of his blade.
"You'll never know, Anders. This new world is not for you." Lucavex said coldly, watching Ander's lifeless form slump to the ground, blood pooling at the Doctor's feet.
By then, word had rapidly spread. Lucavex had just killed Anders Vonhouzen in cold blood, and quite cruelly.
"Lucavex! What is the meaning of this?!" Micah shouted loudly across the commotion, rushing to cradle Ander's fallen corpse.
"This world is imbalanced, Micah... I aim to change that." replied Lucavex, leveling his cold stare on the King's Guard. "Starting with Rull...." His blank expression suddenly twisted into a wicked smirk.
"Not by my blade, you won't." Micah shot back, as Victor ran to the scene, now fully crowded with the people of Rull. Rain fell hard on the city, and the cold was almost palpable. Micah drew his blade and leveled it on Lucavex, glaring at him. The wind around Micah stirred into a small tornado as his power was channeled into the blade he revered.
Then, nothing. The blade refused to respond to the energy Micah was feeding into it. Lucavex stepped around Ander's body, flinging it into the waters of Rull's docks with a flick of his wrist. Several people around jumped into the stirring waters to retrieve the body, but no body would be recovered. The doctor stuffed his hands into the pockets of his labcoat, looking coolly at Micah and Victor.
"I was too late...." Suyen whispered, as he stepped into the crowd as well, the Zicamian lowering his head in despair.
"You're all too late... Rull is already mine." Said Lucavex, as he looked to the sky. Almost by command, hundreds of Ghasts began pouring from a tear in the Nether, flooding the skies above Rull.
"I will stain this Monochrome world in Crimson and Ebony..." Lucavex looked to his left, just to see hundreds, perhaps thousands of Pigmen pour through a similar rift on the streets.
The men and women of Rull fought valiantly, but without the power of Micah's blade, and the previous death of Anders, they were easily overtaken and several were killed in the confrontation. In the end, however, Victor and Micah ordered a retreat to Archonfel, and his followers obeyed, abandoning Rull. It was less of a battle, than it was a massacre. Lucavex had taken Rull without raising a hand. The fact that he had slain Anders was merely an honor he paid to an old friend, who would prefer to die at the hands of someone truly worthy.
Lucavex walked toward the Rull City Hall, taking his seat upon the Throne in the building, claiming his title as King. Beside him, was Aku-Rei Unit V2.0, And Annabeth, now advisors to the Throne. The City belonged to the Doctor now. His plans still quite unclear, but to be revealed in time...
Victor Capez and Micah Keyshin retreated to the land outside Rull, setting up a small encampment to prepare for the siege to reclaim Rull once and for all. A war is brewing, and the soil is sure to be stained with the blood of many brave warriors in the coming days, weeks.
Which side shall the warriors and mages of Mirugan choose? What will be the outcome of the battle that is inevitable? Only the people can decide.
