On the way to the location of the traitor Alex Mercury, Langress and Will were stuck in traffic because there was a big public protest on the main road in Brooklyn. This was a big public protest for a lot of issues like women's rights, black protection, Lgbtq, environment day, poultry protection, stop war and many other bullshit issues. Everyone was standing in the street causing a traffic jam and Langress and Will were stuck on the right side. Langress started complaining:

"Ahhh, what the fuck? What the hell are they doing?!"

Will replied:

"Oh, uh. This is a protest, Langress. They are demanding a lot of rights for them by protesting and asking the government to change some laws."

Langress said:

"Arghh, why don't they start a war already and then do whatever they want after they win? This is so annoying, Will, where do we go next?"

Will checked the map on his phone and replied:

"Uhhh, oh yeah, go straight for a bit and then turn left and we'll come to Joralemon Street, that's the location of the guy we're looking for."

Langress said:

"Hah, fine. Hold on to my waist Will, I'll drive very fast!"

Will screamed in panic:

"Oh wait. No!"

Langress drove up a bit, then had to stop again, he said angrily:

"What the fuck?! Can't they make way for me?"

Will replied:

"We can walk, you know."

Langress thought for a moment and then said:

"Nah, I'd rather ride my motorcycle. There must be something that can help me..."

Langress accidentally pressed the horn then he saw everyone suddenly cover their ears and move away. Then he smiled evilly and while Will's face turned panic, he said:

"Oh no."

Langress shouted:

"Here we go!"

Langress honked the horn repeatedly and kept driving, the protesters were deafened by the horn and had to make way for Langress and Will. Suddenly a guy stopped their motorcycle and said:

"Hey! Are you planning to disturb this protest? This is a very important public demonstration by everyone,

We will fight for the rights of the homeless and the rights of animals, you know that?"

Langress replied:

"Yeah, yeah, whatever the fuck you say. I give no shit about that."

Langress kept driving but was still stopped by the guy, he continued:

"Get off the motorcycle and talk to me right away like a man, I can't accept such rude behavior."

Langress taunted him:

"Men deal with fists, we don't negotiate."

The guy also took off his jacket to show off his muscles and said angrily:

"Come and see it! Come and see it! The punk like you will never have it."

Langress drove over and easily slapped him on the right cheek, which was very painful. The guy yelled like a child and said:

"Oh my God! It hurts. He hit me, everyone."

Langress slapped his left cheek again and replied:

"Never say God's name for crap."

People started talking around Langress and Will, they raised their phones and started filming them. A girl was filming while pointing at Langress and said through the camera:

"See everyone. Our society still has toxic and homophobic guys like him. Where will society go with guys like him? Please don't become such bad guys."

Langress was photographed and filmed by more than a dozen phones and posted on the Internet as a villain,

he felt too tired and annoying so he immediately activated the left mechanical gauntlet and punched the air so hard that the phone around exploded. The crowd was like turning into monkeys and confused when there was no phone and Langress and Will simply left. On the way, Langress said wearily:

"Arghh, I've never had such a headache and trouble in my life. And why are those two guys hugging and wearing pink shirts?"

Will could only laugh dry letting it all go while he knew what Langress was talking about. A few minutes later, they were at the high-class apartment of the traitor Alex. Langress parked near a park then picked up a guitar case and said:

"Alright, let's go."

Langress and Will then entered the building to go upstairs. And their first challenge was waiting in the elevator to go up. In the meantime, Will asked Langress:

"So what will you do when you see him again? Your old teammate."

Langress replied coldly:

"Of course I'll torture him brutally so he can tell me everything about Lancerlord and the Predator's position. Then I'll kill him."

Will trembled and continued:

"Then what are you going to do next?"

Langress replied:

"Obviously, I'll kill the Lancerlord, that copycat guy and eventually the Predator faction."

Will said:

"What about after that?"

Langress slowed down a bit, he had to make up a random reason:

"I'll keep hunting vampires, or werewolves if I want to."

Will went on to say:

"Then after that?"

Langress was running out of ideas, he had to reply:

"Fine, I don't know. My only purpose in this life is to fight and kill, I can never have a peaceful life anymore."

Will said with positivity:

"There are so many good things in this world that I'm sure you'll want to enjoy."

Langress smirked slightly and replied:

"This world doesn't need me anymore. The Hybrids have been fighting to protect them for hundreds of years and now they're doing bullshit and meaningless things for themselves."

Will said with sympathy for Langress:

"I'm sorry for your situation. Life is hard for you."

Langress replied to cheer Will up:

"So Will, please enjoy those good things for me. I may die but I want no one around me to die anymore. You, Josh and Jonathan, no one will have to sacrifice anymore. ."

Will nodded to Langress and they were on the top floor of the building just in time. Langress and Will nodded and stepped outside to begin the quest. Will held up the phone and led them to an apartment at the end of the hallway. Langress looked around to make sure no one was there, then he pulled out the dagger from his right thigh and knocked on the door. One opened the door and said:

"Who is that?"

Langress immediately rushed in and covered his mouth and then pushed him back quickly and Will quickly closed the door behind him. That guy was truly Alex Mercury, the former traitor of the New Hope faction. Langress pushed him into an armchair, then pressed a dagger to his left cheek and said cruelly:

"Oh what a memory scar. You're surprised right, remember me right. Yeah and now your time to live starts counting down now!"

Langress stabbed the dagger down Alex's left hand and made him scream in pain. Langress said angrily:

"Tell me where is he?! Where's Lancerlord?!"

Alex in pain pointed his hand towards his bedroom, Langress quickly turned around to see Lancerlord waiting for him. Lancerlord said calmly:

"Welcome. Langress."

Langress replied with anger in his voice:

"Lancerlord."

Lancerlord's vampire soldiers stopped invisible and quickly surrounded Langress and Will. One guy immediately broke Alex's neck, in his rage, Langress quickly pulled his dagger out of Alex's hand and slashed at the guy's neck just now. He was so badly injured that he died on the spot. Langress wiped the blood off the dagger by the guy's shirt and put it back in the holster then he said with mockery:

"What a suck joke. You know they're nothing to me. One slash is enough to deal with them all."

Lancerlord replied:

"Yeah, I know, and so does your little friend."

They looked over at Will and scared him, but Langress slammed down the guitar case and said loudly:

"Stop talking shit! This is a private matter between us, he has nothing to do with it. If you don't want to die, don't touch him."

Will hid behind Langress and became alarmed and the vampires laughed, Lancerlord smirked and said:

"You are wrong to bring a weakling like him. But out of respect for you, he has three minutes to get out of here quickly or he will die."

Langress replied:

"Good."

Lancerlord said:

"Let's start the countdown, one..."

Langress said to Will:

"Will, go now. Leave the building immediately and call for help if you need it."

Will replied in panic:

"But what about you? Lancerlord is stronger than you."

Langress said:

"I need not be afraid, for I am The World's Strongest Hybrid. And I have this."

Langress crushed the guitar case and pulled out the Devil's Blood Katana, he said:

"My new legendary weapon will kill you."

Lancerlord smirked confidently and replied arrogantly:

"Oh, you got a new girl? Then Alpha God will be really sad. Ah wait, she's mine now hahaha."

Will hastily took out Langress's power control cuff remote and said:

"I'll turn off your cuff, so you'll have a better chance..."

But Will accidentally caused a guy behind to throw a knife and destroy the remote, he laughed and said mockingly:

"Then you will die sooner and faster. Hahaha!"

But Lancerlord immediately threw a knife in the face and killed the guy, he said:

"You all are cowards and pathetic, you can't even give me a good fight."

Langress replied:

"I may be restrained from my powers, but I still have more than enough to defeat you. Will, go now!"

Will said:

"No Langress."

Langress said fiercely:

"Go now! Run or Die! Only one of two!"

Will became startled and ran out of the room. The vampires locked the door and blocked the way for Langress to leave. Lancerlord said arrogantly:

"So the rat has run away. Now break your cuff. Show me if you still have power."

Langress growled like a wolf and replied:

"You should regret saying that."

Then the fantasy song "Weightless" by Twelve Titans Music played, the song's sad, tragic and epic melody went with every wound Langress suffered when he broke the cuff and the hatred and rage but regret inside him. Langress took off his left sleeve jacket and showed Lancerlord his cuff. Then Langress grabbed the cuff and began to break it. Each of his fingers tightened and broke harder was all Langress's hatred. The stronger his hatred, the more powerful he was. Langress was grazed and bleeding and made the vampires laugh, but Lancerlord still did not smile and looked seriously at Langress. Langress continued to break the cuff with all his might, he wanted to fight Lancerlord when they were both at their best. Langress and Lancerlord's gaze never ceased to escape each other, their eyes of hatred, anger and sadness were all that remained of the two who were once brothers. Langress growled harder and slowly broke the cuff, the vampires were taken aback while Lancerlord smiled proudly. Langress snapped even harder, there was a crack and his arm was completely broken but his eyes were still filled with determination as he pulled away from the cuff. Lancerlord shouted as a cheer for Langress:

"Do it! You are The World's Strongest Hybrid right?!"

Langress used all his strength and shouted strongly:

"I AM LANGRESS MCLOUCHT!"

Langress held back the pain and yanked the cuff out of his arm, instantly, all of his power returning to him. The broken arm quickly recovered in an instant like it had never been broken. Langress put on his coat and threw away the annoying cuff and said:

"Now, answer me. Why did you kill them all? Our teammates, our friends, our brothers, Why?!"

Lancerlord replied calmly:

"Because they are all weak, they are weak to protect humanity. We can overthrow all things, vampires, werewolves and humans to create an empire of our own but they still insisting on that stupid right thing. We've been betrayed by humanity since the beginning, Langress. We are only pawns and slaves of fate to protect them like squishy soldiers protect the stupid king. I simply killed all the weak, like this Alex, because he was a coward to run away from The Eternal Blood War."

Langress replied angrily:

'I won't let you say that!"

Langress immediately lunged at Lancerlord and punched him, but he quickly kicked him back causing Langress to slide down and break the table behind. Lancerlord said arrogantly:

"You see! You've always been the most stubborn and reckless. You let your emotions take over and let your fists decide everything. You're weak too."

Langress replied:

"You're even more cowardly by betraying them all. No wonder they call you The Betrayer."

Lancerlord got a little angry and said:

"Have you forgotten yourself? You're always the one who abandons your comrades to fight for yourself. You're just a selfish asshole!"

Lancerlord walked over to Langress and he also stood up to approach him. The two punched each other and when their fist collided cracked the floor and ceiling, their eyes filled with anger. Lancerlord said:

"You think I wouldn't suffer to have to do that? Watching them die, one by one. I just wanted to free them from this stupid fate."

Langress replied:

"You were a fool, you were controlled by lust to side with the Predator."

Lancerlord said:

"I never sided with them and I joined them myself as my will. They were right about the humans, that they are not worthy to be protected or to be masters of the world!"

Langress and Lancerlord kicked each other hard in the stomach and pushed them away. Langress said:

"You're right, humans are just a bunch of arrogant, stupid, unfilial and obstinate bunch. But they have nothing to do with this war."

Lancerlord replied:

"No, they've known it all since The Eternal Blood War began. It was they who pushed us all to our deaths!"

Langress said angrily:

"That's just a stupid excuse to ignore your disgusting actions!"

Lancerlord replied angrily:

"You have no idea how much I sacrificed to protect the Hybrids!"

Langress said:

"By making them worse than they are today? What a foolish and futile sacrifice."

Lancerlord replied angrily:

"Then show me what you can do to change it all! The World's Strongest Hybrid!"

Langress said even more angry:

"Your death will change everything."

The tension between Langress and Lancerlord grew hotter and more terrible, the conflict between the two of them was unstoppable. Going back to Will a bit, when he ran away, he rushed down the emergency stairs but suddenly he stopped. Will was only a human, he was very scared and weak and he always ran away like his primitive instincts whenever he was in danger. It was not that he was cowardly, but Will's fear dominated his bravery. But this time was different, he didn't want to run away anymore, Langress and Josh had always been the ones to stay and fight for him and they didn't need any retribution. That didn't make Will feel safe, but he felt small and self-deprecating because of his own weakness. Will suddenly burst into tears and yelled:

"Oh please, I want to run. Langress already said that, I have to run, that's right, I have to run to get help. But..."

Will looked back at the room and knew Lancerlord would easily defeat Langress. Will kicked the floor repeatedly to push himself to keep running, but this time his heart wouldn't let him. Will must fight, he said:

"God, forgive me for having to bleed. But this time I'm doing it for the right thing."

Will rang the fire alarm to promptly evacuate everyone from the building. Many people heard the bell so they quickly evacuated from the building and left an empty battlefield for Langress and Lancerlord. Will then cut his hand to bleed, he said as bravely as the first time he had such a great moment:

"I will fight with you, Langress."

The inside of the room became surprised by the fire alarm, the vampires opened the door to check outside to find Will standing at the end of the hallway with his bleeding hand. They could not hold back the smell of blood, so they immediately rushed to Will, they shouted:

"It's mine!"

Suddenly Will raised Boss Luca's Eagle Eyes Beta Pistol and took aim at them. Without fear or anxiety, Will sighed and no longer hesitated to pull the trigger. Seven smart bullets were fired and flew rapidly at them. The vampires immediately crawled to the wall to dodge but the smart bullets still flew at them and killed all of Lancerlord's men to their surprise and panic. Will became shocked at the power of the bullets but he still followed Boss Luca's instructions. Open the magazine to let the bullets fly back inside and then reload and rack the slide to get ready for the next shot. Will was so shocked that it took a moment to realize he was still bleeding. Will hastily bandaged it and said:

"I believe in you, Langress, and thank you very much."

Will then left the building for Langress and Lancerlord to have a big battle and he also called Arenyx to evacuate the civilians. Back to Langress and Lancerlord, they stood strong and defiant. The water from the fire sprinklers fell on them like it was washing away what they still considered each other as brothers. Langress and Lancerlord rushed forward and grabbed the other's left shoulder shirt. They stared at each other, filled with hatred and indignation. They gripped tighter and suddenly a flurry of flashbacks loomed between the two of them about their most glorious days. Their powers collided, destroying the floor further and shattering the windows. From this moment on, they were no longer brothers. The fateful battle between the two brothers began.
