Death...death was everywhere.
I flinched as screams rose to my ears. People were dying...And I was letting it happen. I had to ignore it. I had to keep moving with Undertaker...I couldn't stop to watch...
We did pause for a breather once in a while. I noticed Undertaker's aura was changing to it's golden color. His real personality was going to come through...very soon...
"We need to get to the main room...Undertaker..." I said to him and his snapped his head at me, nodding slowly.
"...You alright?" I asked him, and he just smiled. His aura turned purple again. "Just fine m'dear...You seem nervous..."
"I am...But I'm not backing out of it..." I said stubbornly. And he just nodded. "I never said you would..." He said.
A growl was heard behind me, and before Undertaker could stop the zombie, it's head imploded and it fell over, blood spurting the walls.
I gave a sly smirk. "I'll be fine...Lets keep going." I said, though I could tell Undertaker wasn't too pleased I had destroyed one of his creations. Oh well, more to go.
[flashback]
They laid in bed, their clothing tossed aside onto the floor. Their bodies covered by the blanket they shared. No words needed to be spoken how they felt. But only one.
"I love you..." Aurora said softly, staring at his eyes, which closed briefly. Was he tired as well? Reapers did sleep...
"And I you..." He whispered, eyes opening again.
Her eyes looked down at his scarred chest, she inwardly wept at how painful it must have been to get them. He took her chin and lifted her face to look at him. "It doesn't hurt anymore luv..."
"I know...The scars give you character..." She smiled softly.
"And I am quite the character..." He grinned, leaning in to give her a kiss.
[Present]
[Crows nest]
"Say, ain't it kinda noisy down there?" Said one man.
"Aww. 'Sprolly them drunks making a racket again..." Man number two said. Man number one laughed. "Sounds like a right good time to me!"
"In any case, the moon ain't out tonight, so you can really see the stars! An honest-to-goodness sea of stars, eh?"
A moment of silence passed over them, before their eyes narrowed at an object heading their way...
An iceberg.
They screamed. "AN ICEBERG! THIS IS BAD! THAT THINGS BLOODY HUGE!"
((AN:...Thats what she said...*Facepalms*))
"WE GOTTA GET WORD TO THE CAPTAIN!" The bell began to ring loudly, chiming loudly into the air.
[Aurora and Undertaker]
I could hear a faint chiming in the distance, almost like a bell or sorts...but deeper pitched...
My eyes widened. And without thinking, I grabbed Undertaker by his robe and pulled him into a room. Undertaker was confused of course and looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "What is it?"
"GET DOWN!" I yelled, keeping him close to me. This was going to hurt...
.../\/\/\...
On top of the Iceberg, a red dot was visible, only it wasn't a red dot. It was Grell Sutcliff... And one the ship was Ronald Knox.
"Haaaah~! I'm about to crash straight into overtime aren't I? And I'm against overtime as a rule! I mean, managements' really pushing it, am I right? It's crazy, leaving the retrieval of all these souls..."
"...To just the two of us!" The Vessel was nearing dangerously close to the Iceberg.
"What bad manners on a maidens first niiiiight! If you ram something this big into her...She just might..." A fanged grin passed over Grell's features.
"Break, you know?"
The vessel crashed and scraped into the iceberg with a loud boom, the vessel violently bouncing away from it and still going forward. The damage was clear...
KACRASH SCRAAAAPE
The floor beneath us shook with force and we were both thrown against the wall of the room with a thud. I grunted. "...Fuck..." Soon the floor below us rumbled to a stop. Just as quickly as it hit us, it left.
Undertaker had almost forgotten I knew of events that were to happen. "What did we hit?" He asked curiously.
"An iceberg..." I said, getting up and groaning. Luckily my back popped into place.
"An Iceberg? How odd..." He put his index finger to his chin in thought. "How odd indeed...Well, lucky you're here..." He sang, patting my shoulder. I sighed. "You're welcome, Old man..." I said, holding my back. Why did I feel so weak?
He then led me out of the room. It was getting closer...Where the big fight would happen...And I would flee with Undertaker...
Soon we took another break. We were in an abandoned hallway. I couldn't hear anything that posed a threat, only the sounds of screams...
Every person on this ship was fighting for survival...Time was running out.
[Half an Hour later]
Sebastian jumped overboard onto the ship, water dripping off his soaked body. He was not affected by the cold at all. He felt nothing...
I took a glance, but the cracks to the hull are extensive...
That means that...three...no...four compartments must be wholly flooded...
The volume of water that a ship can take on is equivalent to the mass of the vessel...
His hand shot up, backwards punching a zombie in the face into the wall with a loud crack.
In which case...
"Oh Dear, what have we here..."
../\/\/\...
"The water is 2 degrees centigrade...And the ship will sink in less then a half an hour..." I explained to him. Earning a surprised look from him. "That soon? My my~ We should hurry up then..." He sang, taking my hand and leading me away.
We came to another hallway, only to be met by Lord Druit. "Ah, the golden eyed woman from before, how lovely. Ah, and your companion. I need a strong man to help lift this device up for me." He said. Undertaker looked at me and I nodded slowly that it was fine. Undertaker grinned. "Of course. Show the way."
Soon, we were heading towards the first class lounge, when I heard people shouting "Phoenix" and Undertaker snickered. I looked behind us, seeing Ciel and Sebastian standing there, well sort of. Ciel was being held by Sebastian, looking worse for wear.
"What the?! Undertaker?! What are you doing here?" Asked a shocked Ciel. I pouted. Why was I never noticed?
Undertaker chuckled. "Hee! Hee! Hiiiiya! I was told to help carry this as we were in the middle of running for our lives, you see! Then I caught sight of th earl hollering "Phoenix" once more, and-"
"WIPE THAT FROM YOUR MEMORY RIGHT NOW!" screeched Ciel. Before he whispered to him. "But more importantly, do you have a clue as to how to work this thing?"
"Can't say that I doooo? I wonder if something like this serves any useful purpose at all, you know?"
We made our way into the first class lounge. And I felt reality hitting me again. There was about to be a fight...A huge fucking fight...And I was about to witness it.
They soon set down the device, and Undertaker stayed were he was. I stayed by him. Not wanting to get hurt.
"Will you start it up now?" Asked Sebastian.
"Not yet... Our cast is still one player short..." Druit said. Sebastian and Ciel looked confused. "One player?"
"AH! YOU RAT!" Screamed Ryan who was at the second floor above us. "WHY DID YOU STEAL THE DEVICE?!"
Druit put his arms out, obviously pretending his was in ecstasy. "Hello there Ryan! I've been waiting for you! This day shall mark the fall of your empire in one night, as Pompeii once fell...And the day of my new empire was born!"
"Eh?!" Ryan looked at him like he was nuts. I did too, covering my ears. He was weird...
"With the power of this device...I shall build a new empire!"
Everyone looked at him like he was nuts. "Come again?"
"He who possesses eternity shall rule with immortality and decadent beauty. And it shall be called- The Aurora empire!"
I went incredibly quiet, hoping Sebastian and Ciel wouldn't look my way. Why the fuck did I have to be named Aurora at birth?
Just then, Ronald Knox and Grell appeared on the balcony above us as well. "This all seems to have gone pear shaped, huh?" Ronald mumbled, putting his hands behind his head.
Grell put his foot on the railing, looking irritated. "Hmph...I'll make that cad the reddest of reds in the blink of an eye!"
"Easy now!" Squeaked Ronald.
"You don't care what happens to this machine?" Threatened Druit.
But Grell still seemed too stubborn to listen and Ronald had to hold him back. "Hey! Sutcliff-Senpai! Time out!"
"Fu-fu...This is what is called, true "power". I can stand victorious against you all with nothing more then a single wine glass!" Druit bellowed out an insane laugh. I kept my ears covered. Though Undertaker looked highly amused.
"This sense of irritation just grows and grows...May I kill him, young master?" Sebastian asked, his pupils straightening.
"No, not yet. Though I edo understand how you feel." Ciel said, sweating a bit. But then, the zombie broke through a glass, getting closer to them. Hundreds of zombies could be seen. My eyes widened slightly. Undertaker did that many?...
"Hey...Just look at these numbers!" Ronald exclaimed.
"Viscount, start the device! Hurry!"
Druit lowered his head. "Non! I am no longer a viscount!"
Sebastian and Ciel looked at him, confused once more.
"...Kaiser...I shall start the device if you call me that...With that lovely little mouth of yours, so much like a cock robins'."
Ciel glared darkly. "Let's kill him now, after all."
"Please wait, though I do understand how you feel." Sebastian said. I facepalmed. This was getting too fucking annoying for my tastes. Did I mention I think my ears were bleeding?
"Dear dear...Will you be satisfied with never learning what that gadget is for? Guh! hee hee..." I smiled softly at him. Why did he look so damn cute when doing that?
I then noticed the zombies were getting dangerously close...But Undertaker continued to giggle and drool.
"What is it? Come now!"
"The...The enternal flame in this breast..." Started Sebastian and Ciel.
"...Cannot be quenched by anyone..." Said Ronald and Grell.
"We are! The NEW!"
Then, everyone in the fucking room did the phoenix pose but me. "PHOENIX!"
I felt like I was going to vomit from all this stupidity.
"Well played comrades! Now I shall show you...The army of death that bows before me!" He then pushed the button...
Obviously nothing happened. The zombies got closer.
Undertaker burst out into deep laughter, drool spurting from his mouth and he fell to the floor, kicking his legs up into the air and clutching his stomach. I snorted a laugh.
"What are you playing at?!" Screamed Ciel.
"Why Ryan! The device you crafted is useless!" Said a shocked Druit.
"I-it can't be!" Ryan screamed, looking horrified.
"Weren't you the one who made this thing?" Said Ciel to Druit.
He gave him a raised eyebrow. "Theres obviously no way I could build a contraption like this!"
"YOU BASTARD! DID YOU DECEIVE ME?!" Screamed Ryan from the balcony.
"HAH! What a farce this is!" Grumped Grell, who jumped from the balcony, decapitating zombies as he made his way to Druit.
"Whooo-ee Yeah, he really is somethin' else- HEY SENPAI! WE REAPERS SHOULDN'T BE GOING AROUND KILLING HUMANS REMEMBER!?" Screamed Ronald.
Everything was in slow motion, Grell brought his weapon down, only to be met with Undertaker's Satoba, a loud clang filled the room, silencing everything...
Grell's eyes widened in disbelief...How was his Death scythe not cutting through the stick? "WHA!?"
"Hee Hee...It's been ages since I've laugh this hard...In my humble opinion, losing such an amusing chap would amount to a loss for this world..." The Chainsaw continued to reeve, but no matter how much, it would never cut into his satoba...
Undertaker lightly turned his head, a shit eating grin on his face. Thats when I saw it, his aura...It turned a bright gold...And sparks of darkness shot out from him.
Undertaker gripped his hat on his head. "Wouldn't you agree with me, hmmmmm?...My little Shinigamis?" Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief. This was it...
"The blade of my death scythe won't cut through?!" Grunted Grell.
Undertaker then swung his satoba with such violence and inhuman strength, making Grell go flying upwards towards the ceiling. Undertakers hat fell to the ground with a soft thump.
And during this time, he opened up his robe, revealing many satobas under his first coat. All marked in Sanskrit...
Grell's eyes widened, knowing what was going to happen.
He then flung six Satobas at him, At the same time, He crashed into the painted cieling with a loud crash.
A satoba grazed the side of his face and made him bleed. He held up his death scythe in a attempt to protect himself. The shattered glass then rained down upon us all.
I used a bubble shield to cover me like an umbrella, my eyes fixated on Undertaker. Sebastian used his body to cover and protect Ciel. The Satoba's then fell back down, embedding themselves into the floor behind Undertaker.
Undertaker then put his hands under his bangs. "Aaaah...How sad it would beeeee~..."
He then flipped his bangs over his head, revealing the devastating true nature of his eyes. A chill when down my spine. "Should laughter disappear from this place..."
Time was standing still...A cold chill ran through my body...Was this really Undertaker?...The one...I loved?
Undertaker?...
