Rebecca stood quietly infront of an aged-gravestone. Reading
the name engraved into the headstone, silent tears streamed down her face.
Rachel S. Lee
May 17, 1950 - June 21, 1981
A mother, a wife, a friend. May her kindness and
sincereity go beyond the grave.
Reading her mother's epitath, she remembered that fateful
day…
She whispered softly,
To tell her story,
The clouds had changed to dark green and a roll of thunder
was heard. Her family jumped up from the seats, expecting the worst. Mrs. Lee
clutched the baby boy, and Rebecca hugged Erika's legs, scared. Mr. Lee and
Mikal stood firm, but their eyes filled with horror and worry.
About how she had been wrong.
Dynasty solders appeared and
attacked. Mrs. Lee quickly placed the child in rebecca's arms and her family
ran to fight. Rebecca clutched her brother, her eyes wide with fear. Moonbeam
stood infront of her, growling at the solders. Her family began fighting their
futile battle. Before Rebecca's eyes, her family fell in defeat, one by one.
The Four Dark Warlords, Lord Saberstrike and Sarenbo laughed in victory,
looking her with pure evil and death in their eyes. Tulpa's shadowy head
floated there, infront of her, laughing mercilessly, Moonbeam growling and
slashing at the evil.
Rebecca
closed her eyes, and the tears continued to
stream down, splashing onto the bouquets of lilies in her arms. Slowly
opening her eyes, she recalled those final words her mother had said, before
leaving her behind.
As she lay lifeless,
He stole her innocence,
She
placed the bouquets of tiger lilies and white lilies on each grave of her
family. Then, she said a prayer.
And this is how she carried on,
This is how she carried on.
She
slowly turned away from the graves, and walked out of the cemetery, leaving her
past behind.
Well I guess she closed her eyes,
And Just imagined everything's alright.
As she
walked down the path into the woods, she tried to imagine her life if her family
was still alive, but only the battle filled her vision.
But she could not hide her tears,
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years.
She ran to her mother's side, the
only one still alive. She helped her mother sit up and placed her brother into
her arms. Rachel smiled gently at the baby, but then her arms wobbled from the
weight. She was too weak. Rebecca took the child back and placed him down on
the ground. Taking her mother's hand, she watched her mother die. Her mother
gave her the amulet and watched her family's armor vanish and enter the amulet.
"My daughter, you must fight Tulpa
and his evil dynasty, along with all the evil's in this world. You must keep
them from taking this world of ours. Look for the key, Little Lily, find it and
use it against him. It is the only source of power he can never use, let alone
touch. You can find it in the center…the center…of…our little…earth…"and she
fell limp in her arms. Rebecca hugged her mother's lifeless body and cried.
My anger's violent,
But still I'm silent,
When tragedy strikes at home.
Ryo
watched Rebecca walked down the path, crying. He knew why she came to those
graves. "It's been ten years Rebecca, ten years to this day since Tulpa ruined
your chance for a normal life and your innocence. Lost your family," he
whispered to himself sadly. He quietly followed her.
I know this decadence
Is shared by millions
Remember you're not alone.
Remember you're not alone.
She
walked silently, crying and humming softly to herself. Reaching the end of the
trail, she came upon the lake. She sat under a cherry blossom treee and waved the
blossoms sway gently in the wind.
Well if you just close your eyes,
And just imagine everything's alright,
But do not hide your tears,
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years.
Then, she heard a cry. She turned
to see the Warlord of Venom holding her brother, and slowly cutting the child's
cheek with his venom-sword. She watched in horror as her brother fell limp in
death. Tears were falling dowen her face and turned to run. But then, she felt
a burning sensation on her back. She screamed in agony as she fell to ground,
the venom sizzling as it entered her blood stream. She could vaguely hear
Sekhmet laughing at his work.
Well if you just close your eyes,
And just imagine everything's alright,
But do not hide your tears,
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years.
They were sent to wash away those years.
Maybe we can wash away those years.
The pain in her back was
tremendous, but as mind began to shut down, she remembered her family and how
they died. She felt a new emotion then: anger. She was furious with Tulpa,
coming here and killing her family, without any warning. He did it mercilessly
and with great pride. She felt the pain leave her, her back began to heal. Her
body began to glow a faint green, the Warlord of Venom stepped back, afraid.
She slowly stood up,and her armor slowly appeared around her body. She had
earned her armor, and kanji: love. It flashed on her forehead as she drew her
sword and attacked. She blasted Tulpa and the dark minions back into the hell,
and vanished, not to be seen again for years to come.
For we have crossed many oceans
And we labor inbetweens
In life there are many quotients,
And I hope to find the mean,
The mean,
The mean.
She heard
footsteps from behind and turned to see Ryo standing there, his hands in his
jacket pockets. He was smiling encouragingly at her. She knew why he was here.
In her heart, she knew. He was there to comfort her, to love her, to help her.
She needed him.
For if you just close your eyes,
And just imagine everything's alright.
But do not hide your tears,
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years.
The two
felt the connection. It was strong and unbreakable. Ryo walked over to her.
Well if you just close your eyes,
And just imagine everything's alright.
But do not hide your tears,
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years.
They were sent to wash away those years.
Ryo sat
next to her and pulled her close. She leaned her head against his shoulders and
sighed.
Maybe we can wash away those years.
They
watched as a cherry blossom fell into the lake, causing barely a ripple on the
surface.
I hope you can wash away those years.
