Hello, diary. We meet again. I'm Jake. Someone very special asked me to write in this diary once more. This chapter will be completely written by me.

  Well, as I remember it, that day I wasn't feeling great, since the day before had been a complete mess. My lil bro died, but somehow he came back to life. We didn't know how that happened, and he didn't want to talk about it.

  Everything the clown caused made people get pretty worked up. There was a lot of commotion, but the Sheriff took care of everything. My lil bro, for some reason, even though he wasn't injured, started to feel sick. We took him to the hospital, but they said his body was perfectly fine, so we brought him back home.

  The next day, Tommy was sleeping. For some reason he had fainted the day before when we got home. A very prestigious doctor from Totium came to see him and said that what was happening to him was in his mind. He had been under a lot of stress, and that's why he fainted. He had a high fever and looked like he was having nightmares, and he still hadn't woken up since yesterday.

  The doctor told us to let him rest, but to keep watch over him in case something happened.

  "Shit, I'm so scared. What if he never wakes up? Or what if, for some reason, he dies again?"

  All those doubts had been flooding my head for hours. Mary calmed me down every time I let myself be carried away by fear.

  "I have to be strong. Because of me, Tommy had to take care of everything by himself and went through a lot of fear," I kept telling myself.

  He didn't mention it, but I realized it. That clown who hypnotized us was the demon our parents fought 7 years ago. That experience must have been horrible for him, and even so he managed to find a way to save all of us.

  "You really are incredible, lil bro. Meanwhile I'm a fucking useless idiot."

  Well, suddenly we got called for a mission, but Tommy was sleeping and someone had to watch him. We decided that I would stay, since I'm the strongest on the team and the doctor said Tommy might wake up hallucinating, and well, I'm the perfect candidate to stop him.

  So Mary went to the mission.

  "I hope it's not very difficult. She's really awesome, but she's just a normal human, I think. I hope it goes well for her."

  About three hours passed without Tommy showing any signs of waking up. I was watching TV peacefully when suddenly the phone rang.

  "I hope it's not a mission... or maybe something happened to Mary."

  "Oh shit, it's a mission. Mary must still be busy since she hasn't called, and I told her to call me if she needed help or if she finished her missions so she could come see Tommy. There's no one else who can do this mission except me."

  The dark knight was causing chaos again. You could say that guy was my archenemy. I hadn't seen him for months, but I used to run into him often. He always caused trouble and I had to figure out ways to defeat him or scare him off.

  He was stronger than me, but he wasn't very intelligent. It was easy to trick him.

  But well, at that time I had become much stronger than before. I thought I could probably finish him off once and for all. The problem was that I couldn't leave Tommy alone.

  So I decided I would have to take him with me.

  "With how strong I am now, I think I can keep an eye on him and defeat that guy at the same time. Yeah, that's what I'll do. Haha... shit, I have a bad feeling about this idea, but I don't have another choice."

  We quickly arrived at the kingdom of reptiles. It was a kingdom famous for its gastronomy, but well, I didn't come here for that.

  We were flying over the plaza. From where I was I could see the bastard. I decided to leave the car floating so Tommy would be safe. Then I launched myself, activating my wings and my demon fire.

  I propelled myself as fast as I could and with that speed I managed to land a huge punch right in the bastard's face. He was slammed into the ground, but that hurt me. His armor was very strong. Still, I managed to hurt him.

  The elemental knight stood up and gripped his sword while growling at me, like he always did.

  Suddenly I was hit by something very big and heavy.

  It was the car.

  "What the fuck?" I shouted.

  The day before it had taken some damage, but now it was completely wrecked.

  "God damn it. Wait, more importantly... TOMMY!!!"

  He was driving the car, but his eyes were closed. Which meant he was hallucinating.

  "What a moment you chose to start hallucinating, little brother."

  He was using controlling lightning to drive the car, and suddenly he started throwing the remains of the poor car at me.

  I managed to dodge it, but from behind I was attacked by the damn knight. It wasn't enough to hurt me, but it sent me flying.

  After I crashed into a wall, he jumped on top of me to attack. He fired a very powerful dark energy attack at me.

  I fired a burst of fire at him, but his attack was stronger than my fire. I decided to dodge before it hit and flew toward him quickly.

  When I reached him I hit him as hard as I could with my mace. I sent him flying.

  My mace was very durable, but it wasn't as durable as the True?ioion, so it took some damage. But it didn't matter since it still worked.

  Just in case, I decided to fire explosive spikes at him along with a burst of fire. That combination created a huge explosion.

  Luckily the civilians had already been evacuated a while ago.

  "Oh shit... where's Tommy?"

  I tried to search for him quickly from the air. I couldn't see him anywhere.

  "Oh wait, there he is. Where the hell is he going? He's jumping around like a lunatic. I think he's using electric agility. I didn't know he had that many lightning charges stored. Damn it."

  I thought the damn dark knight couldn't move anymore, so I decided to chase Tommy.

  I was about to catch him, but he used his boost with the True?ioion and I couldn't reach him anymore.

  "Oh my god!!! I think there's supposed to be a damn nuclear plant somewhere around here. I have to catch him quickly before he does something crazy."

  After a few seconds I entered the hole Tommy created when he crashed.

  I could hear the screams of the plant workers.

  Tommy was lying on the floor. Luckily he was fine, but for some reason he started attacking me.

  Luckily I was faster than him, so I managed to dodge his sword strikes.

  I shouted to the workers to run away because Tommy was dangerous.

  "Shit, I don't want to hurt you, lil bro, but you're not leaving me another option."

  I transformed completely into a demon and flew as fast as possible toward Tommy.

  I managed to slam him to the ground and immobilize him, although I received a few cuts. I also managed to put the True?ioion on the ground, since Tommy could control it telepathically. He wasn't as skilled as when he used his hands, but it was still dangerous.

  Suddenly I was thrown against another wall.

  Obviously by the damn dark knight.

  "YOU'VE GOT ME FUCKING FED UP!! How the hell can he still stand up? And he even managed to break a few of my bones in my demon form. This isn't right. I've never seen him use this form before."

  Like any elemental knight, he had armor. But since he was the dark knight, his armor was black with purple tones.

  His sword had the shape of a normal sword, but with obviously evil colors.

  He could also summon a flying evil horse. I assumed he used it to reach the plant.

  He also always attacked me with his dark lightning.

  But that wasn't all.

  Now his entire body was glowing with a dark purple light.

  It seemed like that allowed him to triple his power, just like my full demon form.

  But this guy had a higher base power than me, which meant that now he could kill me if I wasn't careful.

  The good thing was that the difference between our powers wasn't that big.

  I also noticed that his armor had several cracks.

  Tommy, apparently, had calmed down.

  So I decided to attack the damn knight with everything I had.

  I launched myself at him and he did the same.

  "This will be the day I finally finish off this bastard who has caused so much chaos in Totium," I told myself.

  But just when we were about to collide, we were both sent flying by Tommy using electric fists.

  "Damn it."

  We were thrown outside the plant.

  His hit didn't hurt much, but from there I could see Tommy preparing to launch an attack inside the nuclear plant.

  If he did that, an explosion could happen.

  Desperately I flew as fast as I could to stop Tommy.

  But that damn psychopathic bastard stopped me.

  Somehow I managed to shake him off and keep flying, but the bastard grabbed my foot... or my paw... well, that doesn't matter.

  The bastard made me arrive too late.

  Tommy fired his fire bolt at the nuclear reactor.

  Luckily, ever since I turned into a demon I was able to use magic, so I started reading my mother's old books and learned a few spells.

  First I used fast thinking, a spell that allows me to think much faster than normal for a few seconds.

  That gave me time to figure out a way to contain the explosion so no one would die.

  "I'VE GOT IT!!!"

  I decided to open a portal to another dimension.

  It was a random dimension.

  I activated the portal right where the explosion was. The portal was set to suction mode, so the entire explosion and the debris were pulled into that dimension.

  "I'm sorry, living beings of another dimension, but there was no other way."

  I also decided to throw the annoying dark knight into the unknown dimension.

  As far as I remember, for any object or living being to pass through portals to another dimension, a huge amount of energy is needed.

  Because of the energy of the explosion, all the debris and the dark knight managed to pass through.

  "Two birds with one stone. I got rid of the explosion and the dark knight, but now more problems are coming."

  Luckily Tommy stopped moving and was lying on the ground asleep.

  I had to apologize to many people for what my brother did.

  I decided to give them a lot of money from our bank account as compensation, part of the fortune our parents left us.

  Luckily my wallet wasn't destroyed in the battle.

  I had to walk back home since I didn't have the energy to transform into a demon again.

  I was dead tired.

  I was naked and carrying Tommy in my arms. He still hadn't woken up.

  Even so, I couldn't be angry at him.

  "It's hard to believe that many years ago I used to hate him, but when we lost our parents I felt sorry for him and decided to act like an older brother. At first it was hard to endure Tommy's hatred, but with time I learned to love him.

  I think I don't feel sorry for him anymore. In fact, it's the opposite.

  I admire him.

  And well, I don't know when my job as an older brother will end, but I don't care if I have to stay by his side for the rest of my life.

  I won't leave him alone.

  Someday I want to see him become the best version of himself.

  I'm sure he'll achieve that someday."

  Thinking about that distant future, I started to cry.

  Tommy finally woke up and fell out of my arms. He was confused and, as always when he had just woken up, he was in a bad mood.

  I decided to wipe my tears and explain what had happened.

  End of Chapter 11.
