Foxy lunged at Ethan with his foot raised but before he could land his attack, Ethan slammed Foxy's head into the table, cracking it in half. Bonnie also lunged at him, with her fist behind her before Ethan grabbed her face and threw her into Foxy. "Would anyone else like to try?" Alex threw her ax at Ethan's head, which he caught just before it hit his face and he shattered immediately. "Worth a shot." Alex shrugged before Ethan punched her across the room and sat down on the couch next to SpringTrap who was now awake. "What is wrong with you- you're awfully violent for a Creeper- '' Ethan looked at him confused and then let out a laugh that just made SpringTrap stare at him like he was crazy, "Are you actually serious? You've gotta be kidding." SpringTrap shrugged, "Maybe, I hit my head pretty hard. But could you start explaining what the hell you meant when you said you were my brother!? I still can't even believe you, because I would have felt that there was another Phoenix besides us!" Ethan's smile slowly faded, "Did you feel Ryobl?" SpringTrap looked at his hands and clenched them into fists. "He's- different." Ethan sighed and stood on his feet, "I will start with an introduction." he bowed, "My name is Ethan Creeper, I am the second child of Crystal Tsudemon, queen of Hell. I am the Black Phoenix, the most powerful of them all." everyone jolted and was taken aback, "SECOND!?" Freddy yelled. SpringTrap looked at his dad and began to crackle with green electricity, "ANOTHER ONE!? YOU HAD TWO OTHER CHILDREN!?" Creeper stared SpringTrap down and he quickly dropped the subject. "Dad, why don't you tell my younger brother why I left, why he doesn't remember me, and what the hell is actually going on." Ethan stared at Creeper with the same aura that made SpringTrap stop his interrogation. "Younger brother of- '' Creeper put his hand up and scowled, "I will explain. Now sit." Ethan sat down next to SpringTrap again but this time the glossy black wings on his back that nobody had noticed before began to twitch.
"He isn't lying SpringTrap, not in the slightest, every word he speaks is the truth." SpringTrap clenched his fists and started to shake before Ari rested her hand on him and gave him a calming smile. "But why? Why didn't you tell me or Kya, why did you keep our own brother a secret from us?" Ethan raised an eyebrow, "Our? What exactly do you mean by that SpringTrap? You're the last child, the youngest." SpringTrap and Kya looked at each other, confused about Ethan's statement before Creeper gave him a look telling him to stop. "It would be better for me to narrate this." he said sitting down, "It started when Ethan was born, we immediately knew that he was something my father had talked about. A Phoenix." Ari watched SpringTrap as he stared intently. She was confused as to why he could stay so mentally strong after going through so much in just a few days. She felt he was similar to Alex, since she was left on their doorstep at a very young age. That day all she wore was a baggy sweater and pants that were clearly for someone bigger than her. Maybe they belonged to the person that left her there, crying. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creeper stood on his feet while holding the phone to his ear, "Jack, we can't just get rid of him! Just because he's a never before seen one, we can't discard him!" Creeper's face twisted into a rage as he began to shout, "SO WHAT IF WE CAN'T FIND THE OTHER ONE, JUST BECAUSE HE'S A HALF OF A WHOLE DOESN'T MEAN HE'S SOME UNSTABLE MONSTER!!" A long green haired woman stood behind him, holding a small child wrapped in a blanket in one hand, and holding the hand of a small black haired child with wolf ears and a fluffy tail that almost touched the floor. "Creeper, if he won't back down, I'll- I'll-" she clenched her teeth and Creeper dropped the phone to his side as he rested his hand on her shoulder, "It's fine, you don't have to do a single thing." he said as he had a concerned and enraged look on his face. His black hair began to turn white and the blue streak in his hair turned green along with it. "I'll take care of it all." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ethan hit Creeper with a full power blow that nearly broke his block. He jumped back and got low to the ground as Creeper launched at him. As he got closer to him, Ethan dug his hand into the ground, getting a handful of dirt that he threw into Creeper's eye, and less than a second later, hit him with an uppercut in the chin that almost made him bite his own tongue off as he was sent falling backwards. Ethan took his chance and ran around behind Creeper, kicking him in the back making him fall the other way and then immediately running around to his front and jumping up and kicking him in the chest. Ethan repeated this action numerous times until he jumped up and did a spinning kick into Creeper's temple that shocked his body for a moment. Ethan suddenly let three black chains shoot out from each of his hands that wrapped around Creeper, "DARK CONSTRICTION!!" He closed his fist and rotated his wrists and the chains twisted into forming a snake that tightened around Creeper until Ethan spoke again, "Explosion." Creeper's eyes widened just before the explosion of black smoke enveloped him and Ethan stood staring at it in victory. Or so he thought. Creeper came flying out of the cloud of smoke and grabbed Ethan by the throat, dragging him along the ground before throwing him into the air. "ETHAN, IF YOU DON'T FIGHT WITH AN INTENT TO KILL-" Creeper stomped his feet into the ground, cracking it as he raised his hands together into the air towards Ethan, "YOU MIGHT AS WELL NOT BE FIGHTING AT ALL!!" Creeper's hair flashed white as a purple ball formed in his hands that quickly grew bigger before forming a beam that just barely missed Ethan who took his chance by barreling down towards Creeper and punching his face into the ground. "IF YOU'RE NOT FIGHTING TO WIN, YOU'LL ALWAYS BE LAST!!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SpringTrap followed Creeper with his eyes as he stood up, "Now, you can tell that my father, Jack, wanted to get rid of Ethan. He thought he was a danger to us all, and he may have been right." Ethan looked at his father with enraged eyes and stood on his feet as black electricity flickered all around him. "So what if I'm some fucking unstable MESS!?" Ethan's wings spread across the room and he kicked the table on its side. He slammed his foot down on the table and rested his arm on his knee, "IF I AM, IT'S YOUR DAMN FAULT!!" SpringTrap stood up and walked up next to his brother. Confusing both him and Creeper before he jumped forward, balancing on the table with his hands as he launched himself upwards, kicking both his father and his brother in the face. "You two are childish. And I'm years younger than you at thirteen." Ethan's angry expression faded as he looked down at SpringTrap. "I- I'll explain it all to you SpringTrap- I promise- I won't let him let you go like he did to me." SpringTrap got back on his feet and looked at his brother's pained expression and into his dark eyes that seemed to go on forever. Like a pit of pain and sorrows that you could never climb out of. Ethan sighed and took his foot off of the table as he closed his eyes and retracted his wings again. "I'll be back soon enough to resolve it all with you." In the blink of an eye, Ethan stood just outside of the doorway, "Forgive me SpringTrap, okay?" He looked back and smiled at him. SpringTrap's ears stood up straight as he took a step forward but immediately fell to the floor. He looked up at Ethan, remembering something he had never seen before. It was a tall woman with short green hair who had said the exact same thing to him before giving him a smile and closing the door behind her. Ethan spread his wings and took off, blowing a gust of wind in SpringTrap's shell shocked face as Ari helped him to his feet. "I don't- who was that-" Creeper reached to SpringTrap who slapped his hand away, "You let him go- that's worse than abandoning him- YOU LET HIM LEAVE!! YOU WATCHED MY BROTHER WALK OUT LIKE IT WAS NOTHING!!" SpringTrap summoned his sword in a rage and it began to heat up as his hair and eyes flickered Crimson. His eyes fluttered as he struggled to stay conscious and keep his form as his vision went in and out of focus. Behind him, SpringTrap felt a hand on his right shoulder and he looked back. Jordan opened her mouth to speak but no words came out as SpringTrap's vision went blurry before everything faded out to black.
