Hey guys! D. C. E. here with another chapter. Yes, it's a stormy day here in my place. I wish Storm Odette wouldn't be as strong as Ondoy (look up in google "Bagyong Ondoy" to see what I mean). I mean its great with the no classes announcement (which makes the school go wild and crazy) but the people *sniff*.
I would make another dedication for this chapter: the people in Zamboanga City whether, dead, injured or alive...or both injured and alive. And to start this, let me say a simple prayer for them. It's a poetry for our seatwork.
Cause: I thought hard.
Effect: Everyone liked it and some wanted me to edit their work.
You can find the prayer on my profile. This is just to prevent flames, arguements, whatevs. If you want, you can read it while listening to "Mugen Kairou". This got me writing that kind of poetry.
May the victims of the Zamboanga War rest in peace...
DISCLAIMER: Do I look like Laird or Eastman? I'm a girl. Nipaa~!
P.S. I heart this chapter! And yes, this is all in Mei's POV...if you notice this part in Dai Ichi Wa:
And that's where the setting is.
I don't want to spill the whole thing in one chapter...but I'll try to make it the best I could do.
Let's go first to Hideout 189-B...the sewers.
"Committing a crime isn't scary.
The scary part is to admit it.
Receiving a punishment isn't scary.
The scary part is to know the pain of it.
Neither crime nor punishment will be gone from the world,
Because humans are unable to know their future."

Chapter 2:
And Into The Shadows They Sunk (Part 2)
As a god, I am in charge of many things. Likewise, taking care of a group of people who worship me is one of them. In Japan, Shinto and Buddhism have one thing in common: reincarnations...I'm not sure. But in my religion, it's true. I'm in charge of taking care of my reincarnation. Tha person is my image...my true image. But sometimes, it may turn out to be another gender. Like Mikey, for example. I'm a female god but I don't deserve to be called a goddess. In my religion, even female gods are just called gods like men. This is not is Greek, Roman or Norse Mythology. This is my religion and that's how I want it. So back to the topic at hand...when Mikey was truly born as human, he became a male. And that's true in my religion. Whoever is the eighth generation second child, male or female, is the reincarnation of the Demon God...or specifically...me. And whoever is the tenth one, he/she will be immune from all diseases and future ones. And as it happens, Mikey is the tenth of the eighth generation. Therefore, he is very protected...but he's mortal. The only thing that he's not immune is when someone kills him. And that's what I why afraid of. So everytime he dies, we travel between worlds called "fragments". If not, I would also be killed and we can't resurrect anymore. But there are rules applied. And these rules must be strictly followed. One rule is: There are only ten worlds for the tenth eighth generation when the normal count is two worlds if not the tenth. And we only travel worlds so we can reach a happy ending. So we must think of our actions very well. And unlike the others, he can predict the future because of the other world. But because of my powers, I have to remind him what's happening. And by this, we believe that we can beat fate so we can have a happy ending. But sometimes, we can go back to the past. This is another reward for beating fate; you have a chance to go back to the other world when you realize the real answer all along. That's why Mikey and I went back to the last world so we can beat fate and finish this.
So now, let's focus on the main plot.
The sun shone brightly after the two-day storm. The cicadas chirped when it was eight. Everyone seemed to be happy, not even knowing what might happen three years later.
Mikey slowly opened his eyes, groaning. He can feel some pain in his head. His vision was a bit blurry. So he forced himself to open his eyes.
When his vision was fixed, he slowly got up and stretched is arms.
"What date is it?"He whispered to himself.
Then, he saw the nearby calendar. It read:
August 20, Showa 58, 1983.
Wait a minute...1983?!
1983? That's impossible. One minute, it was Showa 118, 2043. Now...it's Showa 58, 1983! Wait...did I travel back in time?!
Mikey looked panicked.
Oh no! Did I travel sixty years into the past?! But I was sure that the date when I was conscious was 2043. What happened?!
"Hello?"
Mikey looked at the three girls.
The first one was the smallest of all. She has long purple/blue hair in a hime cut, fitting her image as a miko. Her eyes are fairly droopy and purple. She is wearing a green dress with a white bow attached to the top middle of the dress. Mikey, thought So cute...
The next one was taller than the smaller one. She has short, has blonde hair and has red, pink or purple eyes. She has sharp canine teeth and she wears a black headband most of the time. She is wearing a pink, sleeveless collared shirt, blue shorts, a belt and pink sneakers. Mikey thought, Looks like a prankster to me.
The last one was the tallest of the three girls. She has purple hair, violet eyes, and a pair of black or dark purple horns on her head. She is wearing a pink jumper similar to the smallest girl's dress, differing in that the jumper has pockets, its straps are thicker and have buttons, and has no ribbon. Mikey thought, A bit weird...but still cute.
"Hello? Who are you?"
"I am Furude Rika. The blonde one is Satoko and the purple one is Hanyuu. What about you, sir?"
"I am Mikey. That's all I can remember. What happened?"
"Mii~! We were in the clinic. While waiting for Satoko, a mysterious portal appeared in front of us. You were thrown in, unconscious." Hanyuu nodded. "Then, we called Rena, Mion, Shion and Keiichi to help you." Satoko nodded. "Then, we brought you to Manager. Then we brought you here. A while ago, Manager checked up on you. And you were out for three days."
So that's what happened? What am I going to do now?
"Wait, everyone. I'll call the guys."
"Alright, Satoko."
Mikey looked down. What dimension is this?!
Meanwhile (Three days ago)...
It was very quiet when they entered Mikey's room. All they could stare at was Mikey's picture. Flowers that were colored orange and a box of pepperoni pizza were placed near the picture. Four candles were around the picture, signifying that they are always here for him. The room was a bit dark and it was clean...but it was silent.
All remembered the good times they had with their little brother. And it was the same ones from before. Tears slipped out whene ach of them remembered the old days. It was almsot like the cicadas chirped and then cried when the youngest died.
Raph huffed.
"Why did fate have to end like this?"Raph asked. Leo shrugged.
"We don't know the future, Raph. We're not fortune tellers. But I think Mikey was one..."
This made the rest surprised.
"I remembered...him warning me..."
September 2, 2001 of Showa 76
"What do you mean...you know who'll be killed?"
"It's always the same."Mikey said in a deep, adult voice. Three-year old Leonardo came closer to him.
"Oh yeah. Prove it."Leo said crossing his arms.
Mikey sighed.
"Ten days later, September 11 of Showa 76, 2001, an explosion will happen in New York."
Leo gasped.
"The Twin Towers will explode and a lot will die. Following that, September 12 of Showa 77, 2002, Kraang Prime will awake and appear to our dimension in eleven years."
"Kraang Prime?"
"Then again, September 11 of Showa 78, 2003, daddy's enemy, Oroku Saki and his daughter, Oroku Karai, will move ot New York and start the Saki Industries."
"Oroku...Saki?"
"On September 12 of Showa 79, 2004, April's mom will die in a plane crash from Florida To New York."
"April?"
"On September 12 of Showa 80, 2005, our old lair will be invaded by ruthless criminals. After a few days, we moved to a bigger place?"
"Bigger place?"
"Then on September 13 of Showa 81, 2006, Casey will dump Leatherhead in the toilet because of his parents. That was the time Kraang came to Earth, found Leatherhead and went back to Dimension X to raise him as a test experiment."
"Leatherhead?"
"Yet again, on September 10 of Showa 82, 2007, Raph will get a viral disease."
"Raph?!"
"Then on September 11 of Showa 83, 2008, April's abusive aunt's head will be crushed by April. Her abusive uncle flew to London and she was safe."
"Wha?"
"Then on September 12 of Showa 84, 2009, daddy's uncle will be shot to death."
"Shot?"
"Yet again on September 10 of Showa 85, 2010, daddy's cousin will be abused."
"Cousin?"
"Then on September 13 of Showa 86, 2011, one of daddy's sister will murder her family and commit suicide. Her body will never be found."
"Suicide?"
"Then on September 28 of Showa 87, 2012, we will finally go out tot he surface for the first time...and it will change everything."
"The surface?"
"Finally, on September 13 of Showa 88, 2013...or a few days after perhaps..."
There was a pause. Leo gasped.
"...I will be killed."
"You...?!"
"All these death have been predetermined. The last one is still in the process of decision."
"Then...what do you want, Mikey?"Leo asked.
"I want to live happily, beat the endless fate of September and live happily with my family and friends. But whose plan is it?"
"Mikey..."
"I don't want to die."
"Mikey..."
Even if he didn't get anything, Leo hugged him for comfort. Mikey quickly returned the hug.
Then, a tear slipped out.
"...and everything he said...was true."
Leo started to cry.
"And yet...I didn't listen...!"Then, Leo hugged Raph. Donnie and Master Splinter joined.
"If I only listened more and told you when I understood...then maybe I would have aaved him. I'm the big brother...but why?"
"It'a alright Leo. Calm down. It's not your fault."Donnie said in a calm tone. "Yeah, bro. We were just three that time. It's okay. But sometimes...fate remains intact. But while intact, it can also be defeated. Sometimes..."Raph nodded to Donnie. "...fate can be defeated at the start. We can change fate through small things. I guess...Mikey wanted help from you...for you to show him...how to beat fate. I guess that's what he wanted. I think he did ask for your help. Then, he was expecting you to take those words and tell us. I wish you did that...but it was not your fault. You just didn't know."
Leo sniffled. "Really?"
"Yeah, bro."
Soon, Leo hugged them again. This time...making it into a big, family hug.
Well, that was the end of AITSTS Part 2. Part 3...I don't know when it will be updated. I have plans. :p
And once again, dedicated to the victims of the Zamboanga War. If youw ant to know more, google it. But all I know is that its the Zamboanga peeps vs. MNLF. I forgot the meaning of MNLF. Just Google it.
And sometime around, I'm working on a Halloween Special called "Blood Is Thicker Than Water". The sneak peek is still on planning stages.
Sincerely with a lot of Nipaa~!,
