So my original idea of this has changed, read on to figure everything out. :) Enjoy

DRAMAtical InSaNity

Chapter 14: The Last Battle Part 2

I stayed at Koujaku's house most of the time for the rest of the week when I got here. We became an actual real couple and most of the time he kept me safe, treat me nicely and gave a home to my sons if they wanted to come over. At first I thought this was more like a dream than something you see in reality but it was really real than I thought it would be. Subaru and Yoshi would come to see me from time to time and Koujaku was a great father figure for them both. I know that isn't their real dad but they seem to all get along just fine. I felt my shoulder for a bit while looking out the window and noticed how it started to snow. Has it snowed around Midorijima before? I can't even remember if it ever did. Something about the atmosphere was totally different than before and that most of the time it was raining or snowing. I put my finger tips on the window, sliding it down following the drop of a snowflake. What came into my mind so suddenly was Virus and Trip. I agreed not to be around them anymore, and I became someone with great importance for Koujaku but at the same time, I wonder if I'm actually missed by them. They are horrible beings, but yet the real father's of my kid and I ran off with someone else like I'm some whore that wanted another man into the picture. I felt through my hair and realized how fucked up it was just to think about what I had done. I'm not even a good person and not even a great mother at all. I slouched down to the floor, holding my knees near my chin and thought negatively. The dream that I had was replaying in my mind over and over and that I couldn't even stop thinking about it. It scared me to death. I took a deep breath and told myself I had to calm down. I looked at my frail hands, beginning to feel pain inside. I was fully human. I was normal. I didn't have the power to turn into a powerful woman with powers and yet I want it back. Everyone put me back to normal because then I would of died. Isn't the same end while being just a normal human being? Nothing wasn't really making sense and I was getting tired of thinking too much. I stood up finally and looked out the window. What caught me by surprise was a girl standing outside, and suddenly looking at me. I tilted my head for a bit and she continued to stare me down. Koujaku wasn't home and I know he told me not to open the door for anyone but seeing someone out there just looking at me like that, was already creeping me out and I had to speak up and tell that person to go away. I decided to head downstairs to go towards the door and I looked throught the small window before opening. She was already at the door. That was even more creepy. I slowly opened it and I see her.

"Hi. I'm sorry that the hair shop isn't opened today. Do you want me to get you an appointment for tomorrow?"

I literally had to speak like that since Koujaku does have a lot of woman coming over to snip off their hair. But the girl in front of me just stared at me and then finally shook her head. She was very quiet and I really wanted to just close the door, but she grabbed a hold of it.

"I wanted to meet Subaru's and Yoshi's mother. I didn't realize she would be with another man during this time. Especially someone who was her childhood friend. I'm Megumi. I'm Subaru's girlfriend."

Girlfriend? Wait? Huh? How come Subaru never told me this. I didn't open the door all the way yet and just kept the lock on. I crossed my arms.

"Subaru never told me he was seeing anyone. Are you sure you are correct about that?"

"I see the mother is very protective of her own son. But yes, I am his girlfriend. He just never talks about me because you always put him to work."

I can tell that my blood was boiling at the fact this girl was giving me a huge attitude. I open the door suddenly and watched as she backed away from the door. I closed the door behind me and stepped out. My hands were both near my sides while one of the hands was already balled up into a fist. It wasn't just her being outside. For some odd reason, I was surrounded by certain guards that she brought along. What sucked the most was I couldn't even use any power that I used to have, so they would have had a better opportunity to knock me the fuck out.

"I'm surprised. Miss Echo seems to have cut her hair and changed her style. You used to look more beautiful back then."

"I didn't really care much about how I looked, now get to the goddamn point. What do you want?"

Megumi looked around and then looked at one of the guards who she told to come to her and handed her a tablet. Megumi started to turn it on and then suddenly showed me a video. My eyes became wide at what she had shown to me.

"Virus? Trip?"

I watch them be stuck in a room, while they were top less. Their hands were tied together with chains and their eyes were covered with a cloth. They had certain scars that were cut around their chest and I tried to get the tablet from her but she pushed me away.

"What are you trying to do to them?!"

"Oh~ Don't worry. I won't kill them. They were so much fun to mess with. It was Jiro's orders to take them away from you. Especially knowing the two of them are the real fathers of Subaru and Yoshi. I would like to see them die soon, though. Bringing you along with them."

I slapped Megumi across the face and pushed her. She started to laugh and grabbed my wrist twisting it behind my back. I started to scream in pain knowing I can feel it hurt me. It really sucked being in such a weak human form that can't really do shit. Once I was about to find a way to kick her, I see Subaru near by and she let go of me quickly. Yoshi had walked behind him and then Yoshi literally ran towards me, holding me up. His expression looked shocked. Subaru went over to Megumi and held her by the waist and they just walked off. Something didn't feel right at all and I couldn't handle it. I clenched my hand and punched the ground just a bit. Yoshi touched my hand and shook his head.

"Mom, don't. Why are you even out here? You were supposed to stay in."

"Stay in! Did you see what just happened? That girl seemed like she was going to kill me. Do you not see that!"

Yoshi just shook his head. What was wrong with him? I got back inside Koujaku's place and literally walked back and forth across the room. Yoshi followed in soon after. I looked at him and he stopped following me.

"Yoshi, did you know about this before I even woke up?"

Yoshi kept his hands behind his back like he was some guard standing in a certain way.

"Yes Ma'am"

I crossed my arms and lay my back against the wall. I kept getting a flashback of the dream I had. I kept picturing a scene where both Yoshi and Subaru were dead in front of me if I didn't choose a right decision. I felt as if something was now playing with my mind on what my next move was. I know I recently just woke up but as of now I had to fight back. This Megumi woman is with one of my sons and I can't let that go. I was hoping none of the boys were really in her. Subaru looked like the type that would have a higher quality in girls unlike Yoshi. So, something didn't feel right at all.

"You could of told me that from the beginning instead of saying you both were not interested."

Yoshi crossed his arms and his eyes stared at me.

"Megumi isn't all that bad, Mom."

"Well, to me, she's suspicious. Did you not see what she did to me earlier?"

Yoshi shook his head. Now, there was really something going on here. I thought back to seeing Virus and Trip and punched the wall. It shocked Yoshi.

"Something doesn't feel right. Ever since I woke up something doesn't feel right at all."

I felt my head for a second. Is this really even the real world? I felt my chest for a good moment. Yoshi came to my side and I literally just pushed him away, running up the stairs to head into Koujaku's room. I clutched at my head and lay on the floor, closing my eyes hard. I know I don't end up with Koujaku. I know the kids shouldn't have been born so soon. I know that I wouldn't leave Virus and Trip's side. So what the hell is actually going on? I suddenly heard my name being called a couple of times and felt like I was being grabbed by the arm. Everything became a blur when I opened my eyes, I couldn't even see anything. This isn't my body. My mind was literally going in circles towards everything. I clutched at my head again.

~It looks like you are figuring it out~

It's you…

~You finally waking up yet~

I don't think you ever left me

~I guess I was testing you~

Testing me?

~Yeah. I don't think you remember who you truly are, Echo~

Then who am I really then?

~Mizuki's cousin. That's all you ever were.~

I look around the darkness that surrounded me and I see a figure with red hair. She stood near a cliff, looking out to a burned down Midorijima. I stood close to her and watched the scenery. I don't think any of this was making sense. She kept showing me different views on Midorijima and then there was a slight vision of myself standing in the middle, with my hands all covered in blood, and I see everyone that I call family laying on the floor. I dropped to the ground and touched my face. I was freaking out again.

"STOP! STOP! PLEASE! JUST STOP! I DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS ANYMORE!"

"IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS, WHY DON'T YOU DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE IT!"

"HOW?!"

I started to yell at the red hair furiously. My power that I had was to be able to see a future to where someone had a bad fate and I was able to change it. I knew for the fact that I was right about it and wasn't wrong. I see her cross her arms and then when she looked at me she had that same exact face as me. I came to realize that she was a part of me. She was the other side to me. She was my anger. She was my DRAMAtical InSaNity.

"Your future. Can never be fixed, Echo. This is your fate that you have chosen."

I started to breathe a lot harder than I should have and suddenly a sharp pain went through my chest. I started to scream and bend down to the ground and all I can do was black out.

-bloop- bloop-

I kept hearing some sort of water bubbles popping slowly. I felt my mouth being covered with some sort of mask and my hands were above my head. I opened my eyes finally and suddenly see myself in some sort of water. My hands were chained and the water was stinging my eyes a bit. What was I doing in this capsule? I looked around to see anything but all I could see was certain tools you can use for experiments and lab coats on the desk. I used my free foot to kick around the area and tried to make a crack. I kept kicking and kicking and I noticed a certain tattoo on my arm and a flowing red strand. I continued to kick the glass down and I finally did it. The whole capsule had crashed down and I was released from it. I took off the mask and found myself a bit weak. I looked at my reflection with one of the broken glass and I looked the same from when I had my usual black and brown hair, the tattoo's were still on my skin and were not cut. I had the same outfit with that I usually had on with white pair of boots and black dress. I found a nearby key and unlocked myself from the chains. My whole body was soaked but I didn't care. I immediately got up and suddenly felt a sharp pain at my stomach. I was back to who I was before. I still had that strange power in me. The red color was disappearing and my eyes instantly turned back green. I felt my stomach and lift up the dress to find stitches.

"Was that just a vision?"

~You finally understand now~

That voice. Everything I saw wasn't even real. Didn't that mean I didn't end up with Koujaku, and that would of mean Subaru and Yoshi were not even born yet? Did that also meant that I didn't lose my power at all and it was some nightmare?

"Subaru and Yoshi!"

I felt my stomach again and realized I was pregnant during the time Koujaku had injected a weird antidote. Why did Koujaku do that in the first place? There was no baby inside of me and that even freaked me out even more. These stitches had to be a big reason to why. At least I can move around. I decided to leave the room and run around the place. It looked more like some army base that I was suddenly brought to. I suddenly heard certain yells from a certain area and ran towards there. When I got there, I quietly sneaked my way in and noticed Virus and Trip being tortured. That vision showed them being that way and I wanted to run towards there but something was holding me back. I looked more and there was that clone of me that was doing the job and I found Jiro next to her with his arms across his chest. I looked to the side and found new born children in an incubator and instantly covered my mouth. My eyes were wide eyed at the fact they had certain plugs injected to there arms and legs. The blood inside me was boiling so much and I wanted to get in there. Those were my kids and those two were my children. I decide to try go inside and something blocked my path, and slightly gave me a cut to my cheek. When I backed away quickly, I was surprised at who was in front of me.

"K—Koujaku?"

Koujaku's hair was completely red, and his eyes were not those normal eyes I have stared at before. His tattoo's were all glowing and his fangs showed. He held his sword towards me and I kicked it away but he somehow was fast enough to dodge that and then his sword was at my neck. I felt like he had the advantage to slice my throat. I hear a clapping from behind Koujaku and I see Jiro coming towards us. I glared at him suddenly and Jiro had a complete evil look on his face. I wanted to smack him so hard. Koujaku was not himself at all.

"My, My, the princess finally woken up from her dream world of nightmares. Took you awhile, didn't it?"

"Shut up, Jiro! What did you do to Koujaku?"

Jiro raised his eyebrow and then looked at Koujaku, feeling the sword and looking at me with an ugly glance I hated so much.

"He was easy to manipulate. Such a poor guy, not being able to reciprocate his feelings ell enough to get to you, just like I did for your useless mother."

I clenched my hands and bended down away from Koujaku, kicked him by his legs and went over to Jiro and grabbed him by his suit collar and threw him across the room, towards the wall. I hated what he said and that made me even more angrier. The clone went towards me, grabbing me by the neck and pinned me to the wall, choking me with her tight grip. Jiro got up slowly and wiped the slight blood off his chin.

"Still as powerful as ever. I am surprised staying in that godfosaken tube didn't mentally break you apart. Interesting….you body must have been so used to it while your dear parents literally experimented on your when you were supposed to be DEAD!"

He yelled across the room and I held on to the clones hands. She was holding tighter and tighter and I was at the moment of not breathing. Koujaku was just standing there, watching everything.

"K—Kouja—ku-" I tried to call out.

Koujaku needs to wake up. I closed my eyes hard and suddenly I heard a huge bang and looked to my left and noticed Mink, Clear, Aoba, Ren and Mizuki.

"ECHO!" Mizuki called out to me and literally ran towards the clone and kicked her out of the way and grabbing a hold of me. Aoba and Mink went over to Jiro and tried to catch him while he ran away. Clear and Ren had to hold off Koujaku.

"Jiro took the babies away!" Noiz yelled out me. Mizuki instantly grabbed a hold of my wrist and looked at me with a stern look on his face.

"Don't you dare try to go after them alone."

Mizuki's green eyes had met mine and I just grabbed him into a hug.

"I'm sorry Mizuki. But...I must do this."

I pushed Mizuki away from me and controlled him, to let go of me and I ran off. I left the whole gang behidn to go after the children. This was for everyone's safety, this is for everyone's hope. I know deep down they want this town to be free from everything that was destroying them in the inside. I know I couldn't change anything after what I decide to do for myself. I stopped running and thought of where Virus and Trip would be located so I went to go find them first. I went through so many areas and it was hard to find them. Once I got to the last area I checked. I noticed they were out of their chains. I see two familiar woman standing near them and I see a little child. It was Ai and Ikumi and Rui was with them. Virus and Trip lay flat on the floor and I ran towards them. Rui noticed me and ran towards me in tears.

"Auntie Echo, you are safe! I was so worried."

"You shouldn't be hear. Ai why did you bring her?!"

Ai looked at me with concern.

"Jiro's gaurds tried to kidnap her and almost killed all of us."

I gave a tight hug to Rui and patted her head, giving a kiss to her forehead. Ai continued to explain.

"We were all knocked out somehow while you were away. We didn't understand anything. There was a voice trying to reach out to us saying something will happen in the end, Midorijima is in trouble."

I remember the flashback of her showing me a vision where Midorijima was completely wiped out and it was my doing. Ikumi touched my shoulder.

"If you are wondering about grandma, and the rest of the clans, they are all hidden away from Midorijima."

I held her hand.

"What about the rest of the towns people."

Ai and Ikumi looked away from me, and I gave them a look.

"The towns people are against us all, Echo. Because knowing that we know you, you are basically a calamity."

"Hmph..."

I touched both Virus and Trip's forehead. I took a deep breath and wished they would just wake up and say something useless to me. But they were hurt at the moment and we were literally fighting a big battle. I clenched both of their hands and held it tight. I kissed both of their cheeks. No matter how much I equally hate and over them, Virus and Trip were the two men I still had a heart for.

"Grawwrrgghhhh!"

Rui hid behind Ai while Ikumi and I literally raised our fists. Koujaku came in roaring his way in while Aoba and the rest of the guys try to hold him off. Koujaku stared at me with this wild look of his and he wasn't awake. He came towards Ikumi and I and tried to slash us but we both somersaulted him in the face and let him land on the ground. He got up easily trying to hit us again but Ikumi and I gave our best punches towards him. Ikumi almost got stabbed and I pushed her away and Koujaku's sword stabbed my left arm.

"AHHH!" I started to yell.

"Echo!" Ikumi tried to run towards me and I literally grabbed a hold of the sword, bringing Koujaku with me and my hair turned red and I buried him into a deep wall. The sword still sticked to my arm and all I can hear is his roars.

"Koujaku snap out of it!"

"Grawwwgh"

"KOUJAKU!"

I continued to yell and yell but nothing was getting to him. I pulled the sword out of my arm and threw it to the side. I held on to his face with both my hands and he digged his nails into my skin. I winced at the pain I was feeling but I had to get him to wake up.

"I HELPED YOU BEFORE KOUJAKU! I KNOW YOU CAN WAKE UP FROM THIS! YOU DON'T NEED TO BE THIS WAY ANYMORE! I'M GOING TO SET YOU FREE! PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!"

He continued to yell and tried to hurt me but I held onto him more tighter. I looked into his eyes and I can see tears rolling down his cheek.

"Echo...don't go…."

Huh? Why did he say that?"

I had to do the most horrible thing and banged my head towards his forehead, throwing him over me and bashing his face to the floor. He was down. His hair was going back to normal and I grabbed his sword and stabbed him on his right shoulder. Aoba came towards me and held me back.

"Stop Echo!"

I brushed Aoba away from me and everyone stared at me.

"Eveyone. I'm sorry for getting into your lives this way. Midorijima is in trouble because of how this second life of mine tried to take over everyone. Becoming someone I wasn't at first and then suddenly decide to be with everyone like you were all an actual family. I screwed up so much."

Mizuki comes up to me and I backed away.

"Don't Mizuki."

Mizuki started to cry, everyone started to cry. I was the only one not crying. I didn't get it at all why they were having tears. My eyebrows furrowed and I closed my eyes.

~are you ready?~

I looked at everyone.

"I'll come back."

This was my battle. Jiro was my enemy. Jiro has a hold of my two sons. I won't even let anything happen to anyone. I wanted to wave a goodbye to everyone but I didn't and just ran off. I started to find Jiro's destination as fast as I could and I got to the top of the military base and he was holding the two babies in his arms.

"What took you so long, Echo?"

I clenched both of my hands and took off the blue sleeveless jacket off me.

"Are your prepared?"

"I'm ready to kick your goddamn ass."

-End-

The finale will come soon!
