Chapter 1 - The Deadly Storm

----------

The sound of the waves crashing upon one another, the thunder roaring, and the rain pouring down from the dark sky was all you could hear along this boundless ocean. In this devastating storm was a tiny sailboat that was struggling to stay up as the waves kept trying to tip it over. When the moonlight seeped through a crack in the cloud, you could see 4 people desperately trying to keep the boat stable.

"Dylan, quit eating all of our god damn food and start chunking this water out of the boat."

Leo Skyfall yelled as he tossed a bucket towards him and walked over to Devlin's side and said, " Well shit, whose dumbass idea was it to bring us false hope of restoring ourselves back to our youthful days by looking for some youthful fountain, when we can barely survive the way to it!"

Devlin Skyfall glanced at him from the side, then flicked him on the forehead and said, "That dumbass would be you, Dumbass."

Calvin Skyfall, who was trying to keep the boat steady in the front, suddenly slipped, as he couldn't contain his laughter. Leo's eyes widened as he realized this foolproof idea was actually his from the start; however, his plan behind it was more complicated than it seemed.

Devlin could already tell from the start what Leo was thinking when he first introduced the idea to the group of brothers. From the start, they all grew up in the same orphanage and ended up enlisting in the army.

They've been through thick and thin together, but their last mission was a failure and ended up getting each one of them severely injured and were asked to leave the military. Leo, who was the commanding officer at the time felt responsible because he led his team into a trap as well as got his best friend, Devlin, into a case where he ended up losing an arm and had a scar cutting across one eye that was blind forever. All of them were middle-aged men now and were hoping to find any light to rekindle their lost souls.

Devlin and Leo were the oldest in the group who tried to keep the other two out of trouble. Leo was a little different as he would always tease them and had a playboy nature by heart. Devlin on the other hand seemed more of a role-model for the brothers and would punish them if they ever did anything stupid.

They always looked out for another when they were young and encouraged them to go achieve the goals that they wanted. Nonetheless, the two younger brothers ended up still following in their brother's footsteps and enlisted in the army.

Dylan Skyfall was a year younger than the two but he nearly weighed about the same as the two combined. He was a fairly lazy and quiet person, who would do his work at the minimum and then in the next second you could see him devour a burger in one bite.

Calvin Skyfall was the youngest of the four. He was a bit similar to Leo, as he always loved to play jokes on his brothers. He believed that sometimes it's better to smile and move on then continue living in the past. When the caretaker of the orphanage passed away, everybody had depressing expressions on their faces as they mourned the loss, but Calvin just stood there beside the grave never loosening his grin even when you could see tears rolling down his cheeks.

As Calvin got up from the puddle he slipped in a moment ago, he said," Ai ai, big brother, I had no idea you were this forgettable. It seems you really do need this fountain of youth, otherwise, you might even become a brainless idiot." as he shrugged his shoulders.

"You…."

Devlin was in terrible shape as he was the closest one to the lightning bolt so he was momentarily paralyzed and couldn't tell what just happened. As he sunk down into the ocean he could vaguely feel a hand grab him and pull him from out of the ocean and onto a plank yelling, " DEVLIN, HOLD ON!" as another wave hit him and knocked him out.
