Author's Note: This is probably my 555th time writing this fucking chapter. Sorry i'm doing this so slow it's just a weird time plus you always get to that critical point in the story and you don't know which route is the best to take do you get me? I'm almost done with this story then I promise to write something you all will love and if you have any ideas throw them at me! (Play Funny Bunny by The Pillows)


Black*Star lit up a cigarette before rolling down the window as he drove on-wards towards a destroyed city. The scent slowly woke up Soul who growled as he saw Black*Star grab another one of his cigarettes for later. "Buy your own Star."
He smirked: "They taste better when they aren't yours." Soul yawned and lit one up for himself. Looking out the window the memories slowly drifted into his mind...

"IT'S A FUCKING WAR ZONE OUT HERE! WHERE THE FUCK AM I GONNA FIND BLACK*STAR HUH?!" Soul shouted through his phone. He was knelled down behind a car as bullets flew past him from all over, he lost a few team mates and if they didn't move now he was going to lose them all. "Just look for the biggest building! Someone who thinks that big of himself and his family would be all the way up there!" Kid responded before hanging up. Soul turned to his right and grabbed the rpg out of his partner's back pack, turning around he spotted the biggest tower and shot the missile into a window making a hole in the building.

"TROOPS KILL THEM NOW OR RETREAT TO THE TOWER!" Black*Star's voice boomed through the speakers. Soul and his men followed behind...


"What's the plan Soul?" Soul popped his neck and pulled out two M16's.

"We go in, find and kill Xen." Black*Star sighed but followed along as Soul started his way into the maze of destroyed buildings. Seeing skeletons made them both look away, they had a job to do and no time to waste asking the gods for forgiveness. As soon as Soul stepped past a corner a wave of bullets flew towards him to which he narrowly dodged. Black*Star flanked and tossed a grenade blowing away the enemies. The two ventured on a ways before finding the large tower that once house'd Black*Star's family.

Meanwhile back home Kid was lost in his head thinking of the past and how he confessed to his beautiful wife about all the reasons he loved her. He remembered the embarrassment his weapons and Soul gave him when the party happened.
"Black*Star wasn't there either huh?..." Kid was feeling a bit worse then before but he tried his best to forget Black*Star since he only had a few days left to live, he got up and went to join his family for dinner. Maka, Liz, and Patty were already eating by the time he got there. He started eating his steak slowly erasing all the pain he was just going through until he was asked a question by one of his weapons...

"Kid... Does he really have to die?..." Patty asked staring at him. Kid did not respond, he continued to eat and stare at his plate. "I wanna help him... Besides he doesn't seem to be an asshole anymore!" He didn't answer again he just continued to eat his meal and not look at her but his annoyance had just about risen. Patty closed her hands as Maka and Liz left the table: "Kid, I think I love him and I want-" Kid's fist slammed on the table:

"IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU OR I OR ANYONE ELSE WANTS FOR HIM! HE MADE HIS CHOICE AND I ACCEPTED THE DEAL TO END HIS LIFE!" Kid looked at her with a mixture of anger and pain. She stared into his eyes for a brief moment before shedding a few tears and leaving the house.


Black*Star sneezed silently and thought 'I guess someone is thinking of me huh? That's nice...' they made they're way up the stairs and reloaded from the previous fire fight. More blood had been spilled, the very thing Black*Star never wanted to do again was slowly starting to re-enter his life. "Soul-"
"Black*Star just deal with it, when this job is done you never have to do this ever again ok?" Soul responded not looking him in the eyes. Black*Star's anger had started to rise and his ability to suppress it was dropping rapidly.

Tsubaki slowly sat up as the window exploded in front of her. Black*Star ran to her and lifted her up, as she opened her eyes she saw the golden stars of anger in his eyes. "Are you or the baby hurt my love?" She couldn't do it anymore: "BLACK*STAR GET ME OUT OF HERE! I DON'T WANT THIS BATTLE TO GO ON ANYMORE I JUST WANNA RAISE A FAMILY WITH YOU!" Black*Star's eyes reverted to normal and he grabbed her hand: "Ok... Let's get the hell out of here alright?" Tsubaki smiled: "Fuck Albert and Thomas ok? Let's just go home and wait for you to have our child." As soon as those words left his mouth a bullet whizzed past his ear and went through his wife's skull.

He was horrified... He watched his beautiful wife's eyes lose all life as a second shot went through his and her stomach... She hit the floor and his heart beat increased, the color red flooded his eyes and he erupted into a murderous monster. He was wailing in anger and sorrow, he removed a man's head as he cried, he tore another's chest open as he screamed in pain. Black*Star lost it all, his reason to live, his love, his family again...

Once again he was all alone...

"DIE! ALL OF YOU JUST FUCKING DIE!" Before he could kill another person, Soul lifted his arm and slashed Black*Star's face cutting his eye. "SOUL YOU FUCKING TRAITOR!" Soul looked down as his best friend was apprehended.

Was he angry? Was he sad? No, Soul felt the same thing Black*Star felt.

Loneliness...
