(A/N): Fourteenth request from the ABC meme on LiveJournal.

1. Pick a letter.
2. Pick a prompt that starts with that letter (ex. K is for Keyhole)
3. Pick a fandom / comic / webcomic and a character/pairing.

Leave them in a comment and I'll write a drabble of it. No repeats in letters.

See my profile for what fandoms I'll write.

Z- Zetsubo // Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's // Rex, Rudger, and the Signers.

Zetsubo is a Japanese word meaning "despair". During the final fight, Rex uses it several times to make a point. This is an introspective look into his thoughts during that time.

Enjoy!


Z is for Zetsubo

He had felt it ever since that day. The day that the world he knew, the world that he had been comfortably residing in, shattered around him.

When his niisan had suddenly left, torn asunder, apparently by gods fighting over him. Had given him his arm to defeat him (how? That was impossible, Rudger was his niisan, the best), then ripped the two cities apart. Had turned on them all.

He had been left alone, in despair. Everyone he had cared for, his niisan, the professor, everyone, had disappeared, in one fell swoop.

He was alone.

This perfect despair, however, had given him time to think. To become stronger. To make a decision.

He would create a world where this despair did not exist. He would destroy this unnecessary world and create a new one in its place. This was the only way.

He was irritated when the Signers refused to see what he meant. They were but children. They had not seen what he had seen, felt what he had felt. They were too young to understand.

He would educate them, show them his world. Show them the meaning of utter despair, the inevitable moment when all would leave, leaving them empty and without purpose.

With Wiroquocha Rasqua, he would break them, one by one.

And then they would understand perfect despair.


(A/N): Be careful when requesting. I got a load of requests during chat last night, so there are actually very few letters available. I'll be updating around ten to eleven stories at various intervals over today, and possibly tomorrow if I don't finish them all today. Check my LJ post for a more up-to-date list.

Review, pretty please?
