Ok who's ready for the semi final chapter?! I guess you since you're reading it now... Well let's get on with the show!
Blood coated the ground. The earth absorbed the blood quickly however. I had to get back. I had to fight but... How could I just...
Failure! Useless garbage!
I coughed harder. No... I couldn't fight them. Not like this. Could I? Pain. Burning pain.
Weak! Spineless!
No... I wasn't... At least I couldn't be now. I had to...
Pitiful mistake!
I had to... I couldn't just give up now. I came this far...
Foolish disappointment!
Maybe so, but I still had some fight left in me. Not much but just enough. Hopefully enough to get back.
"Kid-"
I bite the inside of my cheek willing myself to stop coughing and stand. I failed the first attempt to stand. My hand landing in the blood that stained the cold ground.
"Maybe-"
"No..." I coughed. "I have to get back..."
I stood. Hopefully I didn't fall off. I quickly summoned Beelzebub.
Really?! How could such a weak spineless good for nothing disappointment help?!
Shut up... For five seconds... I hopped on.
"Kid are you sure that's such a good idea?" Liz bit her lip uneasily.
No. Not really but how else were we suppose to get back?
"Hurry. We need to get back before it's too late." I said without looking at either of them.
What could I possibly do? Nothing but another fighting. I couldn't ditch.
Weak! Weak! Weak!
With a few seconds hesitation the two transformed and we were off. It took some time to get back obviously. It didn't really help that I was arguing with myself in my own mind or that fact that I was a bit dizzy and I almost fell off a couple of times. The city was filled with random creatures and witches commanding them. I could feel the pressure of the Soul Trap even before I reached the city. My soul perception was dulled immensely. I could still sense Liz and Patty but no one else. This looked like it was going to be one hell of a party. Pfft. I was definitely spending way too much time with Soul and the others. Since when did I ever start referring to battles as 'parties'?
Pitiful disappointment! Mistake!
Focus! I need to do this!
"Ready?" I asked the two.
"Um. Yeah, but are you?" Liz asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I admitted with a sigh.
It hurt. It really hurt and there was no doubt in my mind that the two could tell. They could sense the thing in me. They proved that earlier. I started walking since it hurt too much run. Not to mention I'd probably start coughing up more blood.
Excuses!? You pathetic mistake! There's no wonder Shinigami purged himself of such a weak fragment!
No! It's not true!... Right?
He got rid of his fear and created Asura and he got rid of his weakness by creating you! He only keeps you around to make sure you don't turn into a Kishin and cause more problems than you already do!
No! No! No! It can't be... It's not true... I started running. I wasn't weak. I wasn't. I was going to get the Soul Trap from the witches. That would prove my strength to myself, right? It would prove my worth to dad... If I could prove myself not to be a disappointment I'd feel complete, right? Right? I fired at the creatures that lunged at me. I flinched, feeling a slight but quickly building burning.
"Kiiiid." Liz whined.
"I know, but it's far too late to give up now." I told her.
"But it gets bigger faster when you use your wavelength." Patty put in.
Really? I guess that explains it. "I know. But I don't care."
I evaded any confrontation with any witches. These were not the one who had the Soul Trap in her possession and all they would do was slow me down. Besides the others students and staff could handle them. Alright you filthy dog. Where are you hiding? I ended up in front of the school in my search. The dog, Soul Trap in hand had a wicked grin. A triumphant one at that. I took aim at her and fired. She growled and whipped around.
"Miss me?" I asked with no emotion whatsoever.
Her threatened look quickly vanished. I guess she found me not to be a threat... Wrong. Desperate people to things far riskier than what they would normally do.
"How are you still alive?... Oh that's right. You're a Shinigami and you have a habit of not dying when you're suppose to." She licked her ruby colored lips.
I fired again just wanting to get this over with while I still had the strength to fight. She evaded the attack this time.
"Fine." She growled. Her fur grew back out to cover her in a short coat.
Just like last time. Snapping her hand forward her fur shot off and hardened into black needles. I evaded, but just barely. Just the start of the battles and I was just avoiding such a simple attack. Not good.
HA! A wasted effort! All pitiful mistakes was vanish!
No... I wasn't-
"Kid! Move!"
That snapped me out of my thoughts but not quick enough. The black needles dug into me. I took a step back. The dog laughed.
"That it?!"
I fired. What else could I do? Shit. Pain. No keep firing. Keep going. Now move! I moved to the right. The needles bounced off the cement. Keep firing. Keep firing. No hesitation. I won't fail. Not this time. Fire! Move! FIre! Move! Fire!
"That's it you little pest!" She growled.
Ok... Now was my chance to do serious damage.
Not like such a mistake could manage that!
Dark arch thing in three two. Jump! The ark passed under me.
"Soul resonance."
The girls quickly around my hands and forearms. Black skull like wisps brushed the outside of my soul. I could see the black mass had most definitely grown larger. Much larger in such a short amount of time.
"Execution mode ready." I winced.
"Resonance stable. Noise at 8.4 percent." Liz said shakily.
"Black needle wavelength fully charged." Patty said less excitedly than usual.
"Preparing to fire. Feedback in four seconds. Three."
"Two."
"One."
"Firing now."
"Death cannon." I gritted my teeth.
So much pain... The dog cried out in a mixture of pain and rage. I fell onto all fours, breathing hard. The dog dropped to the ground. The Soul Trap looked burned but was still functional to my dismay. Honestly I was hoping to destroy it. Might as well get busted. The dog pulled herself back up.
"That it? It will take much more than that to take me down." She smirked. "Prepare to die."
I coughed. No... Always at such horrible times...
"Kid move! Get up!" The two shouted as the witch raised her hand again.
Blood spilled onto the street. The witch took pleasure in such a sight as she charged up.
"Hurry! Move! She'll kill you if you don't get up!"
Shit... I coughed and gasped for breath. I sucked in as much air as possible before I coughed again.
"Good bye. FOREVER."
"Kid!" The two painicked.
Fate to die here...?
Of course! So fitting of such trash!
The dark pulse rushed toward me. The dark matter in me responded painfully to the force. I couldn't die. Not yet. Not now.
Why not?! Why fight the inevitable?!
I forced myself to roll out of the way since I couldn't force myself to stand at the moment. I felt the attack breeze by me. I took in a breath and attempted to stand. The dog seemed amused. I dropped back down. I tried again very unwilling to give up so easily.
"Still think you can win?"
No. Not really but giving up would appeal to the whole being weak spineless trash thing. I wasn't going to die a disappointment. At least not so easily. Come on... Stand. I stood. I... I was shaking. Pain. So much pain. The dog cast a couple of dark archs at me. I attempted to evade. The first caught my shoulder but the other hit dead on. She laughed. Well I was getting crushed...
"Ready to die yet?"
Just let the attack hit!... Just simply vanish!
No.
"Soul resonance..." I whispered.
"What? No! You won't be able to-" Liz panicked.
"I can't get up so I'll die anyway if you don't work with me here!"
The two obeyed without any further complaints. The two transformed. My soul was almost completely covered now.
"Ready." I breathed.
"Resonance as stable as it's going to get. Noise at 12.8 percent." Liz said squeaked.
"Wavelength charged." Patty whimpered.
"Preparing to fire. Feedback in four seconds. Three."
"Two."
"One."
"Firing now."
"Death cannon."
I gasped as pain started to engulfed my senses. I heard a satisfying cry of pain from the witch as I dropped to the ground once again. The girls left my hands. Please run... Pain. It increased. Forget the blades. It felt like I was burning from the inside out.
"Kid?! Kid answer me!"
The pain overtook me. The scene faded. Still just a failure. Just a disappointment.
