Barley arrived at the headquarters. This organization took everything from him and he was ready to take it down. A large grey elf walked over to him as the people from the Raven Coven snuck in threw the back. "You're Barley Lightfoot," the grey elf said with his deep voice.

"Are you a fan?" Barley asked, hoping to buy time for his teammates. "If you want me to sign something, you're going to have to provide a pen since I didn't bring one. I didn't expect to see my fan. I know my brother is the more popular one, but-"

He was cut off by a bunch to the face. Barley stumbled back and held his broken nose. As the larger elf was about to kill him, they were distracted by someone shouting. "Voltar Thundasir," an unseen voice yelled. The larger elf's chest was badly burnt and he collapsed to the ground, dying immediately.

Barley got up and saw Ian. They just stared at each other for a few minutes, not knowing what to say. "I don't remember fully who I was to you," Ian eventually spoke up. "But I want to be him again. I understand if you-"

Barley walked over to his brother and hugged him. "It's good to have you back buddy," Barley said. The memory of Ian killing their mother was still fresh in his mind, but he reminded himself that Ian was still deep under the spell at that point.

"I'm sorry," Ian said, choking back tears.

"It's ok," Barley whispered. Barley knew it would take a while for their relationship to get back to normal, but Barley was determined things would eventually go back to normal, or they would find themselves a new normal.

The two of them go into the headquarters and start to fight their way threw the henchmen. There were losses on both sides, but Barley's side was losing more people. After about five minutes of battle, the leader, who was just known as Furious, entered the battle room.

"Spade, you betrayed us," Furious shouted. "We gave you a family. We took you from a scrawny little nerd to a ferocious warrior, and you threw it all away. How dare you?"

"How dare I?" Ian growled. "You took me from my family and turned me into a monster. I almost killed my brother and I killed my mom because you made me. I lost everything because of you."

"I'll just wipe your mind again, but first I must kill your past," Furious said. He then pointed his wand at Barley and cast a spell that drained the life from him. Barley was frozen in place as the life was drained from the body. Barley dropped to the floor dead.

"No," Ian screamed, sadly. He then looked at the leader and stabbed him in the stomach with his wand. Ian looked him in the eyes, tears filling up in his eyes. He watched as Furious took his final breath. He then grabbed his wand and dragged Barley outside.

Ian laid Barley on the ground and started to say a spell. This would give Barley his life force and his magic gift. Once Ian was finished, he fell to the ground. Barley sat up. "Ian?" Barley asked.

Barley checked for a pulse when Ian didn't respond. He sobbed when he couldn't find one. He remembered his final moments before he was knocked out. He figured out that Ian probably used the transfer of life spell.

Barley made the same promise that he made the day of Ian's funeral. He was going to be the best version of himself he could be for his little brother. He looked to the sky to find comfort. He just stared at the sky for a while.

It's been a year since the battle at the base. Barley was now hiding from The Cards with Rachel. They managed to have a semi normal life, but they knew one day they would be found. Barley was ready to fight whoever comes for them, and he wasn't going to hold back.
