Vadumverse series/A Death in the Family

Authors note: Okay so this is just a excerpt with a few foreshadowing events and flashbacks left out. It may appear incomplete or lacking something good.
"We need to trap him!" Josh ordered Zephyr to take a different route and trap the suspect they were chasing. "This ends now!"
Josh continued down the street. His hearts were beating fast. His anger had been building inside him and he needed to release it. He saw his target running into a small swap meet, disappearing into a crowd of Human, Kig-Yar, and Sangheili. He stopped short, surveying the crowd around him but he couldn't find his target. Instead he forced himself to calm down and paced back and forth. How could the target slip through my fingers? A dangerous Sangheili determined to take even more lives. And in the name of what? A broken Covenant? No! Never again! He would be silenced forever! He jogged in a different direction and eventually caught his scent.
Zephyr was running as fast as his legs could run. He was desperate to protect the life of his uncle - his mentor and father figure. He eventually came to a big circular pathway, only a few exits leading to more city streets. He heard footsteps approaching fast in his direction and activated his energy sword, its blue essence lighting up the walls of the enclosure. He saw its dark red armor and lowered his energy sword realizing that it was - his uncle.
"Son. I taught you everything you need to know. Why betray us now." Draco said, approaching his son calmly.
Zephyr stood back frightened, unwilling to accept his uncles wishes and change, "Run. He'll be coming soon." He turned away, ashamed to look at his uncle in the eye. Afraid to accept the truth of who he really was, what he became.
Draco was running into the streets with Zephyr trailing behind him, when suddenly Josh appeared on the other side of the street. He stopped abruptly with Zephyr behind him.
"By the gods. You've captured the leader of the Covenant Remnant. It's all over for you Draco." Josh approached Draco with a vengeance, holding an activated energy blade in hand.
"We don't have to kill him. He's my uncle. Where's your honor." Zephyr pleaded. But that didn't stop Josh's thirst for vengeance. "A weapon drawn demands blood. You'll have to kill me."
Josh shoved Zephyr out of the way, knocking him to the floor, and before Draco could even strike, he disarmed him, breaking his elbow joint. The pain was so intense he clenched his arm and fell to his knees, whimpering in pain.
Zephyr felt cold and numb witnessing his uncle getting stabbed in the chest with the deadly energy sword. Its sickening plunge was dark and cruel to hear. He saw that monster remove the energy sword from his uncles chest and blood spewing out. He caught his body just before it hit the floor. He should have been crying, but he was too numb to even think about crying. There was a giant hole in both hearts and he knew nothing would ever be the same. He looked like death and he didn't care.
"Now its over. He won't kill anyone ever again." Josh said, stepping aside before leaving the scene.
