Chapter 171: Fairy-Tale Lie Part 1 (2/2)

”I'm sorry, I saw you in the crowd and just had to meet you… you're him, right? You are Avalanche, right? I could tell by the ice-cold appearance—white hair and blue eyes as light as the moon. There's no doubt you are the streamer Avalanche! I'm a big fan. My sister and I used to watch you all the time.”
”Alice would be thrilled to help one of her all-time favourite streamers. You inspired us both! Dad might be pissed, but who cares. This is for the good of mankind.”
”Team Rhapsody, I heard from my sister you passed the test. Rock on guys. If my sister is talking about you already, I'm looking forwards to what you do in the future. Best of luck to you all, Violet is already looking to team up with you all. Ruby.”
”You are Alton Brantley. Formerly known as Avalanche a key member of Hero's Might now a full member of Team Rhapsody where you joint create the stream with Zinnia who is currently the leader of your group. Alice knows the Alice is a big fan of yours, I guess.”
”You were getting all excited over this last night. You're like her hero, and well mine too, Alice here wants a photo with you.”
”What happened to your old team wasn't your fault. Neither is this; I will not sit around and allow you to carry that guilt, Alton.”
Alton felt the positive energy rippling through. Each of Alice and Iris' memories linked to him was on full display. The undying devotion and love they had for him and Hero's Might were unmatched. They both looked up to him like there was no tomorrow. Alton clenched his fist, smirking softly. ”Never knew you looked up to me. To Sam that much. You hear that, Sam? We inspired these kids.” He turned to Alice nodding. ”Who am I to stop them from reaching that dream? Let's remind the world just what Hero's Might was capable of.”
Iris flicked her hands sideways sending hundreds of arrows skyrocketing at the two streamers. Alton raised his hand freezing each on in spot as his dull look turned into one of heroism and pride. Iris screeched summoning a giant pillar dragging her hand forward. ”Just who do you think you are standing in the way of Salvation! In the way of my revenge?! The Garden has stood strong since the dawn of time! You're just a bunch of nobodies. Mistakes who should never exist.”
”You're wrong,” Alice demands. ”We're more than that. We're a bunch of misfits who want to make the world a better place. Whether that's with Hero's Might.”
”Or Team Rhapsody.” Alton caries on as both spoke in a union. ”We will stop the likes of you taking this world away!”
The ground began to shake as purple haze began pouring out. Iris giggled, holding her hand out. ”The Garden is coming, so soon. So very soon! You cannot stop this, why bother!”
”Because. We're heroes.”
Iris snarled at the term as her eyes began glowing bright yellow and her body emitting a purple glow. ”Then I shall give you the destruction heroes crave. One last game. One for humanity and I intend on winning once and for all.”
