So last night was pretty rough man… I knew how I wanted this to happen two days ago and it was still hurt to write out the whole thing. I started writing at 9:00 pm and had it posted by 2:30 am. I had to walk away a few times from my laptop because it was hitting me too hard.
The best way to describe it is the episode of Family Guy where Peter Griffin listens to a song from Lionel Richie and whisper over and over while crying, "Who hurt you, who hurt you, who hurt you!" That was me pretty much lol.
I relied heavily on Dizzy's death from Starship Troopers… had the screenplay open and tried to pull that over to the story. That death scene always emotionally punched me and I just knew that how I wanted Asuka to go.
8 MAY 18
I added some more...
Marco sat at the dining room table with his family, they were all eating and smiling but, him. The room was very large and felt warm, he couldn't shake the feeling of death following him. The King and Queen looked over at him with sad eyes.
"I can't believe everything that has happened to him in those two years…" The Queen looks at him as he kept staring out the window with a sad face.
All life seemed to fade away in Marco, he had the faints idea on how he was able to put this all behind him and move on with Hekapoo's game. Did he ever really recover from losing Asuka?
While he was out cold for three days, Hekapoo told the group everything she knew about his time over at the war. She always kept a close eye on him, even if he couldn't see her.
Flashback
One of the guards that were with Marco busted through the doors, "MY QUEEN, THE YOUNG MAN IS ILL!"
"Marco?" Each of his lovers said while standing up ready to find him.
"Please follow me!" The guard starts to run down the hall at top speed.
"RIVER, STAY WITH THE GIRLS!" The Queen follows the group down the way, they start to slowly hear him yelling down the hall as it grows louder.
They find him on his knees yelling at the ground, the sounds he was making, didn't even sound human anymore. His mind was snapping and he couldn't tell where he was, Asuka's body was lying on the ground in front of him covered in maggots.
It looked like she buried for a few years with the way her clothing was hanging on to her body. Asuka lifts her head up to look at him, there's nothing in the eye sockets, but maggots coming out. This wasn't her Reaper... it couldn't be!
"Why couldn't you be faster… why did you take so long… WHY DIDN'T YOU CLEAR THE AREA!? IT WAS YOUR ONLY JOB TO DO WHEN YOU FOUND ME!?" Her voice sounded horrible with a small amount of blood that would spit out when she talks.
"I TRIED SAVING YOU… I DID EVERYTHING I COULD… YOU BLEED OUT TOO FAST… I… I… I lift… the medic behind... I'M SORRY!?" He slowly backs away from her as she stands and walks to him. It was his fault why she died, no one else...
"I PROTECTED YOU, I GAVE MY BODY TO YOU, I GAVE MY LIFE FOR YOU, I LOVED YOU!?" Each word stabs Marco's soul as he keeps backing away from her and yelling.
"PLEASE… I'M SORRY… FORGIVE ME… I'M BEGGING YOU… I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO SWITCH PLACES WITH YOU!?" She stands before him, the wound over her heart starts to pour out blood down her body and onto the ground.
"NO… YOU FAILED AT PROTECTING ME… REAPER… I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL…" There was so much hate in her face, a look he's has never seen. Marco's heart was in pain just looking at the site, how he wished she would have lived that day...
He reaches out to hold her, but then stops when someone else yelled out to him.
"MARCO, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE FINE!" Janna tries to grab him, Marco makes it on to his feet now stands up in a fighting position. The tears in his eyes were blurring his view, nothing was going to stop him from saving Asuka this time.
"WHERE IS SHE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER… TELL ME NOW OR I'LL KILL YOU ALL?!" He looking all around for his Major and slowly walks to the group in front of him.
"Marco… who are you looking for?" Hekapoo didn't like how he looked, his eyes were as black as the midnight sky. He looked ready to kill them if he didn't get what he wanted right now.
"WHERE'S ASUKA!? I NEED TO FIND AND SAVE HER… HER POSITION IS BEING OVERRUN… THERE'S NO TIME FOR THIS BULLSHIT!? I… I CAN SAVE THIS TIME!? I KNOW WHAT TO DO!?" He looks around to find he's in a hall for some odd reason.
Hekapoo slowly walks up to him with her hands up, "Marco… Asuka is dead… you know that… you laid her to rest." She looks over at the painting on the wall of the Jinko now understanding what's happening. That didn't make things any better for the lover or what might come next.
"DON'T FUCKING SAY THAT *sniff* …DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT ABOUT MY ASUKA!? I CAN SAVE HER… *sniff* I KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW... I HAVE TO… SHE'S OUT *sniff* THERE WAITING FOR ME… PLEASE..." Marco reaches for his boot knife needing a weapon right now, but it's gone.
"Marco… it's going to be okay…" Star didn't know who this person was, she only knew this was bad and his eyes were scaring her.
"IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HELP, THEN GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY… ASUAKAAAAA I'M COMING!?" Marco charges at them with everything he had before Star puts him to sleep with her wand, he runs into Janna's arms and out cold.
"Hekapoo... who is this Asuka he speaks of?" The Queen was worried and feared him after that show, his eyes really scared her and the rest of them just like Star.
"I'll give you the key points... if you want the whole story, then you're going to have to wait for him to tell you. It ends very badly for him..." She helps Janna hold him up.
"Well start with Asuka, whoever she is..." Star wanted to get to the bottom of this and why this painting did to him. The Princess noticed how Hekapoo was staring at the painting of the woman as the name came up in their conversion.
"Let's get him somewhere comfortable so he can get some rest." Their day just got 10 times longer...
Flashback Over
"Daddy… daddy… daddy…" Marco snaps out his daydream as Gidget approached him.
He looks over at his little demon and gives her a weak smile as a tear rolls off his chain and onto the table, the other two girls are next to her. He pulls the chair from the table and stands.
"I'm… I'm going to go out-" Before he can finish, he feels Gidget climb up him on his chest and placed in a hug. Then Ember and Maria pulls him by the hands so he's on his knees and they can hold on him as well.
"It's okay to cry, daddy… we love you..." Maria starts to cry with him as her sisters join.
Hearing this made him cry even harder, "I'm so sorry Asuka..."
