"You're twenty seconds early." Makubex opens his mouth. " It's really too bad though. The atomic bomb is already complete." This was their first meeting in a long time. Since Ginji had left The Limitless Fortess and left Makubex all alone.
"Its not over Makubex! ! We are here to stop you! Get backers style." They realized Makubex was just playing mind games to complete his work.
The members of The Get Backers Recovery Service found themselves in another diamond tiled dim lighted room. After fighting in another one of Makubex's Brain Trust virtual reality systems they weren't really sure of what was real. They opened their eyes wide to see the real Makubex sitting on top of a glowing computer monitor; which had also been attached to more computer screens that formed a circle around him on the floor.
Makubex leans forward and lets a large smirk run across his face. "Is that so?"
"What are you smiling about?" Ginji says
"Tell me Ginji, Do you actually think you and everyone else made it to this room?" Makubex awaits his reply
"Huh?" Ginji seems confused. He turns around and sees all the faces of his friends. Something was wrong. "Ban?" Ginji calls to him in his confused tone.
"Ginji." Ban says weakly before he and the others disappear before his eyes.
"Ban?!" Ginji yells out in disbelief
"Hhhmm...Poor Ginji, You cant tell the difference between what is real and what is not. "Makubex sighs "Let me show you reality."
Suddenly the computers surrounding him change to different screens, they show through a series of training grounds. Everyone was fighting their life long enemies. Ginji's jaw expanded as his eyes scan across the wounded but still fighting members of The Get Backers. He nearly lost control when he came across Ban and Fudou's fight. He could tell Ban wasn't going to hold out much longer. He shook his head "No!" He had to have faith in the others no matter what because he knows they would have faith in him and yet the breaking of his faith came to soon. He watched Fudou shove his mechanical hand into Bans wounded chest. Bans body drops face down on the floor.
"Noooo." Ginji is getting angry.
"He's dead now." Makubex swings his short legs back and forth as they hang off the computer monitor. "Who knew he would go down so easily."
"Shut up!... Its not true, Ban is alive!" Ginji roars as sparks fly across his body
"He looks pretty dead to me." Makubex speaks
"SHUT UP!!" Ginji was loosing his sweet dear self. It was happening again he thought. The people he cared for were dying all around him and it was all his fault once more. If he had not suggested rolling the dice to enter each door than Ban would still be with him. "Ban, I'm sorry." He confesses to himself before letting the pain, anger and rage consume him as he became the Lighting Emperor once more. He arched his back and let the electricity soar.
"Now this is interesting..." Makubex was intrigued "...you shouldn't have enough energy to become the Lighting Emperor."
"SHUT UP AND FIGHT." The deep voice screams as he charges wildly towards the body of Makubex with murder in his eyes. "Makubex!" He continues to scream as all the electricity around him shocks the concrete wall.
Makubex makes a jump off the computer as he comes down with his head scarf floating in the air, he fades into the darkness of the room. This left Ginji no choice but to shoot wildly all over the place. Everything moved in slow motion as they fought their way around the dark room. Their continuous fighting shook the limitless fortress cold. Ginji was getting more aggravated by the minute, he was tired of missing his target.
Finally, he stood calmly in the middle of the room floor waiting for Makubex to come out the shadows. He closed his eyes and listened for some sort of indication as to where he was. Ginji breathes slowly all the while simply waiting, wanting to be attacked. Makubex foot steps gave away his position. He was right back where he started when Ginji looks up. Ginji inhales and fires a deadly lighting bolt at him. Makubex jumps out the way once more, just in time to save himself. Unfortunately his computer doesn't receive the same fate. Its toasted and steaming.
"Mmm...I value that information but no worries I've already accomplished my plan." He has such craze in his blue eyes. "I will create a new world with this." He removes the detonator of the atomic bomb from his pocket and waves it in Ginji eyes.
"Why are you doing this?" Ginji screams before letting more bolts through his fingertips.
"Why you ask?" Makubex slides across the floor of the dark room. "You have no right to ask why!"
"I have had ENOUGH of this." Ginji was forced to take caution against his opponent.
"Days, Nights even have pasted before I realized I was abandoned for good. I sat in this very room waiting for you! After Kazuki and Shido finally ran out on me. I turned to the only thing I had left...my computer!."
"Huh?" Ginji wasn't quite understanding
"With this machine I can calculate a whole new life for myself. A life with no surprises. I know every step anyone can takes towards me. From your betrayal to their loyalty." He held out the detonator as his hand shook uncontrollably. "Do you know what I wished for late at night trapped in this hell?"
Ginji pulls in all his rage and stretches out his right arm and places his left hand over the elbow and lets out the largest bolt he hand in him, at the same time Makubex raises both his hands and deflects it back at Ginji. The thunder strikes above Ginji's head and the ceiling collapses onto him. Crap! Makubex thinks. He rushes over to the injured body of Ginji Amano. He was smashed underneath the rocks.
"Why didn't you dodge it you idiot?" Makubex made his way through the bricks to find him. Truth is he still cared for Ginji but he was just so mad at him that he could blow him up. An electric arm reaches out to him and scorches his feeble hands as they grip him tightly.
"Gotcha..." Ginji pops out of the pile of rocks unharmed.
"How could you!" Makubex head leans forward as he hides tears from the man before him. His emotions had got to him once more. Right when he had Ginji where he wanted, under his thumb. His whimpering causes Ginji to ease up. "How could you leave us?...leave me?!" His voice was cracking.
It all made sense to him now. He broke Makubex's heart when he left The Limitless Fortress. The static electricity around Ginji calms itself, his blonde hair returns to normal as it relaxes upon his face. His eyes retrieving from Honey gold to a dark brown color. A color that Makubex adores so much. He didn't realize he left him so lonely, so emotionally scarred.
"I didn't mean to...I thought I was saving you guys from me, especially you Makubex." Ginji throws Makubex's head into his chest and let him cry away. He owed him that much.
"Don't leave me alone anymore Ginji." Makubex mumbles into Ginji's ragged white shirt.
"I wont. I'll stay here with you okay, Just let the others go." He whispers to the young boy.
Makubex raises his head to see the sincerity inside Ginji's eyes. All bets were off now. He could finally have the part of the past he craved for the most. He could have Ginji. He inched his ways to Ginji's chin and with his bruised fingertips he holds his face still as he brings his lips to Ginji's. This was heaven Makubex thought, it was just as he remembered. Way back when The Volts were together and he and Ginji shared their love.
"Okay." He said softly. He was truly tired of fighting him. "Did you think of me?" He needed to know
"Everyday Makubex...everyday."
