*Pai POV*

Taruto and I were near the heart of Tokyo. Kurai was with us; although she seemed to be less motivated after seeing her sister get involved. It was no matter to me whether she was motivated or not, as long as she did what she was told.

"Pai, why are we here?" Taruto asked.

"We are going to do nothing, Taruto." Pai replied. "Kurai, on the other hand, is going to use her powers to bring Deep Blue to this planet. The time has come that we end this."

*Yolei POV*

Kishu and I were sitting on top of Tokyo Tower together. He had taken me there to try and cheer me up.

"Kishu…" I asked him, leaning my head down on his shoulder.

"You feeling better now?" he asked.

"A little…" I replied. "What did you mean before?"

"Hm?"

"Back in Ichigo's living room… what did you mean?"

"Oh… that." He sighed. "A long time ago, my people used to live on this planet. I don't know exactly what happened but our people had to flee this planet in search for another. However, the planet we ended up on was so inhospitable that our people soon began to die off. When we learned about how humans were living on Earth and how they were destroying the planet, we knew we had no choice. We had to act."

I sat up and looked at him. I had never seen anyone as serious as that before. His eyes were full of anger and yet I still saw the compassion and sadness he felt. I took his hand and he looked over to me curiously.

"I'm sorry that you had to go through something like that…" I said sympathetically. "I understand how you feel, I really do… but I don't think that it excuses the fact that you've been attacking us." I saw his eyes widen as I spoke. "Violence only begets more violence. By treating us like we don't belong on the planet we were born on… you became someone who puts themselves and their interests above anything and anyone else."

I paused and turned to look out at the setting sun and the view of the city. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath of the fresh evening air.

"Yolei…?"

"Have you ever thought about the lives of the humans you're attacking?" I asked as I felt the breeze on my cheek. "Have you ever wondered if those you hurt have families of their own?"

I opened my eyes again and looked down at my hands. "Everyone has someone they have to protect… someone they care for more than anything… someone they'd risk their life to save…"

Kishu wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to him.

The sky turned dark and lighting flashed through the clouds. Kishu and I stood up and I felt a strange feeling come over me. I grabbed Kishu's shirt as I began to shake with fear.

Kishu took my hand in his and gave it a reassuring squeeze. "They're finally doing it… the final battle… it's about to begin."

*Kishu POV*

I knew that Deep Blue had arrived on Earth by the way the lightning flashed through the sky. I wrapped my arms around Yolei and held her close to me.

"Yolei… things are going to be very dangerous from here on out…" I said quietly. "If anything should happen—"

"Don't say things like that!" Yolei exclaimed, tears in her eyes. "Everything will turn out okay…" she forced a smile on her face. "…it just has to…"

*Kurai POV*

I watched my sister and Kishu from behind a beam of the tower. I wasn't sure whether to be scared for or angry at my sister. I had done everything I could to keep her out of the situation and here she was, falling in love with the people who want to kill us! I saw them look into each other's eyes and knew what was coming next.

"Get away from my sister!" I yelled as I stepped out of my hiding place.

"Kurai…?" Yolei said as she stared at me in shock and confusion. "What's the matter with you?"

"Me? What's the matter with me?!" I shouted. "You're the one who's fallen in love with the enemy! What's the matter with you?!"

"Kurai… you're… you're scaring me…" Yolei said backing away.

I raised the gun Pai had given me and pointed it at Kishu. "Step away from my sister—NOW!"

Kishu stared at me and knew that I was serious. He held Yolei close to him protectively and I became even angrier.

"You damn son of a bitch—LET MY SISTER GO!"

Yolei stood in front of Kishu and held her arms out defensively. "Why are you doing this Kurai? I don't understand! He's done nothing wrong!"

"NOTHING WRONG?! His very existence is wrong!" I told her angrily. "If it wasn't for them—I'd have never turned into this hideous creature and I could've stayed at home with you! That day I left the house? That was because one of those aliens injected me with this stupid DNA and turned me into this! They said if I didn't do what they said, they'd do the same to you!" I felt my face growing hot with my emotion and tears formed in my eyes. "They took everything away from me… and now they're taking you!"

"You're wrong." Yolei said. "They haven't taken anything away from you—you're the one who chose to throw away everything that was precious to you!" I could see tears in her eyes. "Don't take away the one person other than you that I've loved!"

I grabbed the gun with both my hands. "Fine then…" I said as the tears ran down my face. "Since you've betrayed your own blood… I'll kill you too!"

BANG

Yolei looked down at her chest where the bullet hit her and then looked back up at me before collapsing. Kishu bent down beside her and put pressure on her wound. The gun fell out of my hands as I realized what I had just done. My hatred toward the aliens had overcome me and I wasn't able to control myself. I fell to my knees and cried as Kishu placed a kiss upon my sister's now lifeless lips.
