Run.
All he could do is run. He ran from the dark warrior chasing him. As he ran, he saw the streets he used to live on. Not knowing who or what was alive. He had lost hope.
"Come on Brandon! Just a little more!"
He looked up, to see two friendly faces alongside him.
"Kaitlin... Brian..." He muttered.
"Yeah, bro, just keep running," Brian said with the finality of an older brother.
Then they reached the place. An abandoned warehouse.
"THIS IS IT?" Brandon screamed, dumbfounded, "You brought me to a fucking warehouse to die?"
"No, silly." Kaitlin said, punching him on the shoulder. "Go inside."
They went inside. Brian was programming what looked like a portal.
"Just..a little more... GOT IT!"
The machine hummed and whizzed to life. Sure enough, a portal came to life. Just then, their predator caught them, an army behind him. Laughing, he said "Good game, you three! But now our little game of tag ends."
He walked closer, a sword fading into his hand, shrouded by darkness. Brandon, Brian, and Kaitlin stood their ground, swords appearing in one of all three's hands. The pursuer launched himself at the three. He slashed and kicked until all three were out cold laying there. Then Brandon stood, defiance in his eyes. His sword at the ready.
"Oh fuck no. You're not killing them Apocalypse."
"Try me."
They launched at one another. Their swords clashed and it seemed as if the world was being ripped apart by the two beings.
Slowly, Kaitlin and Brian got up.
"I'm helping him." Kaitlin said quickly. But Brandon had different plans.
"NO. Go, save yourselves! I'll be fine, I promise." Brandon said quickly.
Kaitlin protested. The two argued back and forth.
Brandon grabbed his girlfriend's collar and pulled her to him, kissing her one last time. " I love you."
"Wait wha-" She was cut off by Brandon pushing her into the portal. She reached out to him, crying.
Brandon and Brian nodded at one another.
"Good luck."
"Same to you."
After Brian ran into the portal, Brandon ran to the portal and switched the coordinates. Somewhere. Anywhere. He wiped a tear from his cheek, knowing he would never see her again.
And then he jumped into the portal.
