A thin, sharp blade pierced rough naked skin. A red liquid leaked from the hole it had made, dripping onto the rock underneath it.
Kino let out an ear piercing scream of agony as Law estracted the knife from his side.
"You bastard! Fuck!"
The younger child tightly gripped the knife, heavily breathing in and out. Sweat drenched his face as he slowly stepped back. First looked up at him, his eyes narrowed down to his nose, and his eyes a bright shade of blue.
He jumped up and tackled Twelfth down, pushing against his knife. They rolled over the rocky ground, trying to push the other off, causing the knife to fall out of the picture. Kino made his way on top and made a reach for the throut, snarling.
"Die!"
Law punched him in the gut. The brunette removed his grip as he fell over to the left. Twelfth stood up to make a run for the knife when the older boy grabbs his ankel.
Crap!
Kino angrily looked up at him, snarling and drooling.
"You shouldn't've left Heaven HQ, First," Murmur said. "Because no one's there, then there's a chance this world and another could fuse."
"Kinda late to be telling me that now," Yuukii moaned.
"Um, Dad," Yuyu said slowly, "Mom said something about you and she sometimes looked at the Fourth World. What was happening?"
The couple sat in silence for a minute.
"I might as well tell you, since I'm dying anyway," the god said. "I wasn't the one who became god. Because Yuno wasn't around to save me, I was the one who died on the first day of the Survival Game. And so nothing of this world exists."
First and Twelfth were about to throw a punch at each other when a wormhole opened up.
"What the hell is that!?" Law cried.
Kino reached out to touch it. His hand started to fade away.
"Dad, what would happen to someone of this world if they went to the Fourth World?"
Before Kino could recal his arm, Law started to push him in. The brunette stood his ground, and tried to push Twelfth in instead.
"Well, because no one in this world exists except Murmur-san, if we were to enter the Fourth World, we would disappear."
"You're dying here, First!"
Kino desperately pushed against Law, tears of frustration welling in his non-moving eyes.
No... I promised Dad, I promised Mike-san... I can't die here!
A rock struck Law in the head, knocking him slightly off balance. Kino didn't waste a second, and stabbed him in the stomach. Twelfth fell on the floor, his eyes wide from the pain. His silver hair started to disappear into the void.
Gasping for air, the teen looked up at where the rock had come from to see the love of his life shaking across from them.
"H-Hannah-chan..."
"Kino," Hannah whispered. "Get away from there! That's the Fourth World where you don't exist, if you get caught in there you'll disappear!"
After a blink of shock, Kino rushed towards the bluenette holding out her hand, desperate to get him away. His fingers weaved through hers as they fell in a relieved and tight embrace.
"F-First," Law moaned as he slowly lifted his head. "I-I can't... let you-" He coughed up blood. "-become... god..."
First turned to face the dying child, still embracing Hannah.
"Law," he said. "I'll fulfill your wish. I promise, once I'm god, I'll create a New World with better people. I'll make sure that there'll be peace until the next Survival Game!"
The silver head fell back towards the vortex, a light smile on it.
"You'd better... you damn brat."
The rest of Law Order's body disappeared into the Fourth World.
"It's done," Yuukii said weakly. "One of them has fallen, I can feel it." He looked up with a smile, relieved tears falling down his face. "Thank God... I'm so glad it didn't have to be Kino..."
"Nii-san won!?" Yuyu chimed. She let out an excited cry as she hugged her father, on the verge of tears. "Alleluia... it's finally over!"
"Yes," Yuno sighed. "Yes, it is. It's finally over."
Yuukii summoned a sphere of orange light in his hand.
"What's that?"
"It's time for me to leave," the god moaned. "This is my power, the only thing keeping me alive right now. Once I give this to Kino-"
"Dad!" Kino rushed up and hugged the dying man, sobbing. "Wait. Wait, please. Just a little longer... Don't leave me yet..."
The energy dispersed. Yuukii slowly raised his arms to hold his son, grasping at his warmth.
"I can't wait... If I die before giving you or Murmur-san the energy, it and the rest of this world will be lost forever..."
"Dad," Kino whimpered. "Dad...!"
"Yuukii..." Yuno grabbed her husband's hand, madly sobbing. "Don't be afraid, Yuukii! We'll see you off!"
Yuukii's weak smile widened as more tears fell from his half open eyes. Everyone, including Hannah, circled around him and held his hand. Yuukii looked up at Yuno.
"Aishiteru... Yuno..."
"Mm!" Yuno nodded, still sobbing. "You, too, Yuukii... Aishiteru, Yuukii." Tears drenching both of their faces, they leaned in for a kiss. I'm Yuno. I always have been Yuukii's Yuno. I never needed to 'win' his love.
"You made a fun story for me, First," Murmur said slyly. "Thank you for the entertainment."
"We love you, Dad," Yuyu whispered, holding back a sob.
Yuukii nodded. It seemed his strength was fading as he quickly yet weakly said, "Kino... You have to... promise me... you'll create a better world than I did..."
"I-I promise, Dad," Kino choked.
The ten thousand-year-old smiled. A bright orange light emitted from their hands.
"I pronounce the winner of the Survival Game... First, Amano Kino..."
The light engulfed Kino and Yuukii.
Kino opened his eyes to see his father standing in front of him, holding his hand. With a smile, and a nod, Yuukii evaporated like Law did. His black cloak fell on Kino, who warped into Heaven HQ.
Tears fell down his face as he held back a sob.
"Daddy..."
A portal opened up.
"First!"
The girls rushed in and embraced the new god, smiling with relief. It was all finally over.
Hannah stared at the world through the monitors. She didn't know how she should have felt. Relieved? Betrayed? Mournful? Happy? Sad? Love? She didn't think it'd matter. Like Yuukii, she would probably be dying soon anyway.
Kino walked into the room behind her.
"I've cured you."
"Huh?"
"Your brother, Mike-san, made me promise to cure you when I became god. I cured you the second you touched me earlier."
"Y-you did? Thank you... Thank you so much, Kino!"
Kino chuckled as he scratched the back of his head.
"Don't mention it," he said. "Anyway, sorry about all of the... bullshit I put you through earlier."
"Oh, yeah, that reminds me." She slapped him hard across the face. "You sick psycho! Who puts girls in cages!?"
"Ow... I had that coming, didn't I?"
"Yes, you did."
The bluenette turned around in her chair and pouted.
"It's a mess, isn't it?" the god asked as he stared at the monitors. "This world. I made a second promise, twice to my Dad and Law. I promised them I'd create a new, better world. This world is full of brats who were willing to kill each other to gain Dad's god powers. I can't start from here, so I'm going to destroy them."
"You're starting this all over again? But then it'll be full with another bunch of children who-"
"I'm younger than Dad was when he created this world. By the time it's time for my Survival Game, this New World will have gone through over a million generations." The brunette looked down at Hannah. "Hannah-chan, I heard from Murmur-san and my parents that it takes a lot of work to create bodies on my own, so..." He held her hands. "Will you be my bride, and help me make new bodies!?"
Hannah blushed as she stared into his blue eyes.
"... If I do, will you lock me in a cage again?"
"No, ma'am, I will not."
"Then deal."
The two smiled at each other before coming together for a kiss.
"Aww!" an immature high-pitched voice called from the door. "Finally, I've been waiting for that!"
"Yuyu!?" Kino cried, his face red.
Yuyu skipped into the room with a smile.
"I heard everything," she said. "It looks like this is a new beginning, huh?"
"Yes," her brother responded with a nod. "This is the beginning of a New World."
Yuno and Murmur stepped into the room, smiles on their faces. Kino smirked as a storm formed in the sky.
"I told ya I'd win."
A/N: THERE! FINALLY! DONE! It took me several months, which is a record time for me, but I finally finished New World! My most famous Fanfiction that isn't for LuffyxNami. I would like to thank everyone for waiting so long, especially my friend Carl who helped me so much. =D I had a whole lot of fun writing this, and while it took me forever, I'm glad I completed it. Remember, I always complete stories. So thanks for sticking with me. Have an awesome day!
