Prologue: occurs around episode 32
A.N. Alrighty! Just want to give a shout out to my friend, of whom this is a joint project with!!
Summary: Its 30 years later, and after an inopportune sleep that left the world to Diva to do as she pleases, once again Saya has awakened. But this world is a lot different from 30 years ago. Now Saya and her three chevaliers move to try and kill Diva once and for all! Spoilers for episode 32
"Riku! Get away from her!" shouted Kai as he ran towards Riku, standing on top of crates in the ships lower level.
Diva smirked as Kai ran towards her. Effortlessly, she brushed him aside. An audible snap filled the large room as Kai hit the ground at exactly the wrong angle. His neck had broken upon impact.
"Nii-chan…" Riku whispered looking at Kai with shaking eyes, staring at his brother who was barely breathing on the hard ground. Diva looked back at Riku, a playful smirk playing on her lips. Anger flashed in Riku's eyes; this was his enemy, the person who was after Saya, and who almost killed his brother. A memory flashed in his eyes, a memory from the place called the 'zoo'. Someone who looked like Saya... But when he went closer to investigate… he was bitten and left to die. That was this girl – Diva was the one who almost killed me!! He had to defeat her, and he had to protect his brother and sister. He could not die here!
"NO!!" A dark light surrounded Riku and an arm flew from the light out at Diva. The same boy from before stepped out… but his eyes glowed red. His arm had also changed – a chiropteran sword. He stared at it for a second before once more facing Diva, and attacking wildly. Saya, he whispered, Come quickly!
"Riku!" came a voice from the side; a quick glance revealed that Saya had burst through a door, followed by a chevalier chiropteran – most likely Karl. And Hagi was never far behind. Saya quickly ran from the chiropteran and over to Kai, a horrified and shocked look on her face. She turned to Diva.
"Diva!!" Saya shouted as she rushed at her twin with her katana. Riku jumped out of the way and over to Hagi.
"It seems as though some of your powers have awakened." Hagi told Riku.
"Yeah, but now I don't know how to get back!" Riku replied.
"Just visualize you arm the way it should be – it will change back."
Riku nodded.
Diva and Saya continued fighting in the background.
"Hm…well it looks like I'll have to wait. Goodbye dear sister." Diva smirked and looked at Riku, "I'll see you later." He matched her gaze with a glare. She turned around and disappeared…
"Kai!" Saya ran over to him. Kai, struggling to even breath, was unable to move. One could tell that his spinal cord had severed.
"I…I might not last much longer." Kai gasped out. He started to spit blood in between words.
"No Kai-nii-chan! Hang on! Hang in there! Don't leave us!!" Riku shouted. He already had to deal with his father's death only a short while ago, he couldn't take his brother's too! He knew that if they didn't do something right away – Kai would most surely die! Unless…
"Saya-nee-chan, make Kai your chevalier! That would save him!" Saya looked up wildly, "I can't…" "He's our brother, you have to help him!" Saya stared at Riku, dumbfounded.
"I can't!" she shouted tears welling in her eyes. "I already stopped your time, I can't do the same to Kai!"
"Saya…Riku…I'm sorry." Kai whispered before he went unconscious. Hagi checked for a pulse – it was faint and getting weaker but it was still there. Saya looked tense, still too stunned to make a move.
Riku's pleading eyes decided for her. "I'm so sorry Kai, but neither me nor Riku want to see you die just yet." Saya took he sword and made a small cut with it on her palm. Doing the same thing she did with both Hagi and Riku she took the blood from her hand into her mouth and transported the blood into the mouth of Kai. The kiss of eternal life.
"Hold him down." Hagi said to Riku. Riku nodded. Him and Hagi held Kai down by both his arms. Saya backed up, not wanting to watch. After a couple of seconds Kai's eyes flashed open. He started to scream and writhe on the floor, convulsing into the air. Saya couldn't imagine what he was going through. Riku and Hagi both held him down effortlessly. Finally, after a couple minutes of the painful transformation occurring in Kai's no-longer human body, he collapsed and fell silent.
"Oh Kai," whispered Saya. She knelt down beside the catatonic form of her brother. Regret hit her like a hammer as she burst out crying onto Kai's chest.
Saya was sitting in a chair beside Kai's bed, sleeping. It had been about 3 days since the events on the ship and everyone managed to get out before the ship exploded. Those that weren't massacred by Diva and Karl. As soon as the survivors landed, they went to the closest Red Shield safe-house they could, and moved Kai to the closest Red Shield medical center. Neither Saya nor her chevaliers had left the area, and Saya had only left Kai's room to go to the bathroom. She had been plagued the past days by guilt, that now she had stolen the time of both her precious brothers. She had made them both into monsters. What kind of protector was she? Saya knew that Kai would not have wanted to live as a monster, but what choice did she have? Let him die? His last words to her and Riku had sounded like he was ready to give up – it was just that they would not let go of him. She hoped that he didn't hate her now.
"Mm…" came a faint voice from the bed. Saya was immediately awoken from her restless sleep. Saya looked up at Kai – his eyes were fluttering…he was waking up!
"…is this heaven?" In his semi-conscious state, Kai's mind was causing him to hallucinate, "Oji-san?" He looked around the hospital room, his eyes blinking rapidly. As objects came into view, his eyes fell on Saya as if of their own accord. He felt a sudden unknown pull towards her.
"Saya?" he whispered. She looked back at him, hope shining in her eyes. "What's going on? I thought I died…I broke my neck, how could I still be here…" She opened her mouth as if to speak, but a cloud passed over her eyes and she stayed silent. A thought occurred to him. A look of panic and fear rose in his face.
"Oh no…you didn't!?" He looked down at himself – he was completely healed of everything. His neck was fine and all the bruises and cuts were gone as well.
"No…NO!!!" He yelled as he held his head. Kai was now really panicked. Saya looked at him fearfully, tears streaming down her face.
"Why Saya? WHY??" He yelled. Saya backed up against the wall, her hands held up to her face. "I didn't want this! I was fine dieing!" Kai was now officially freaking out, yelling and screaming profanities. Hagi and Riku heard the screams and came rushing into the room. Saya was crying profusely now, and she was sitting on the floor. And suddenly, her vision became extremely woozy. The room appeared to be swimming… Saya collapsed on the floor unconscious.
Kai suddenly stopped screaming to look down at Saya and now another look of panic crossed his face. He jumped off the bed onto the ground where Saya had collapsed.
"Saya! SAYA!!!!!"
