And here we are the final chapter! Took me forever but it's finally done!
As Ryou attempted to knock away the sonic wave, all of time seemed to slow down and suddenly freeze. Ryou's eyes suddenly dimmed and then he took a deep breath. The old Ryou was back. The time stream seemed to flowing around them showing both Ryou and Kyle's history. "Kyle... I'm sorry. I never intended any of this.." he said looking at the ground.
Alpha 3 didn't have time to react as Koulgen destroyed him and countless other Alphas. The army was slowly dwindling. Alpha Red watched from the headmasters office in disgust. "This is pitiful. The 4 of them taken out so easily... If you want something done correctly, you do it yourself.." he said as he jumped out the window activating his stealth mode. Time to get rid of this nuisance once and for all.
With every kill Koulgen got stronger as the Ka Kari ate their energy. Also with every kill Koulgen k lost himself as the true purpose of theblack Ka Kari took over. Then it happened black light erupted from Koulgen. Anything the light touch had it's life sucked from it, and pulledinto the pitch black center where Koulgen was standing. The light disappeared as fast as it came leaving a kneeling pitch black creature with black plates all over it's body creating armor over any vital spots. It looked up as it stood. "The Ka Kari, and wielder are one." It said in a double layered voice. "I am the Night Angel." As he spoke his name black winds shot out sending some feathers into the air, and he looked at Alpha Red his eye the color of blood. He stared only for a second, and spoke one word . "Guilty."
Kyle looked around, partially startled. He watched his past run by him, like it were recorded in a book.. Or on video. He looked back at Ryou, ready fight, but as soon as he spoke, he realized what had happened. The old Ryou was back.
"I know you didn't.." Kyle said, smiling, for seemingly the first time in ages. He put a hand on Ryou's shoulder.
"Come on, chin up." He said warmly. As he waited, he watched his past fly by his eyes as if it were nothing.
"I think I've seen this movie before.." He joked, letting out a small laugh under his breath.
"It won't long before he takes back over... I had worked so hard to keep it subdued and then I blow it by wanting life again.. I should have just..." he said trailing off as he noticed him and Kyle training in one of the flashbacks. "You know what you have to do right? You have to kill me.. I can use the rest of my energy to fix all of this and put it all right..." a tear fell from his eye. "What this will be the 4th time I've died right?" he laughed.
Alpha Red glared at whatever Koulgen had turned into. "If you think whatever monster you have turned yourself into scares me, you are being very mistaken. I worked for one of most evil men in all of time." he pulled out a gun. "Das vi danya" he said as he fired the gun.
The Night Angel looked at him destroying the bullet, and gun. "Death." He said calmly in the same double layered voice as of he was giving the sentence to an ant. He brought Retribution uup to his eyes. Unlike what it usual looks like it now had red writing across its black blade that seem to keep shifting. It was also bigger with jagged edges. He quickly cut Alpha Red in half, and took to the sky leaving a trail of feather from his take off. He closed his eye, and held his palm to the sky creating the same black light from earlier. He closed his fist on it taking it in, then he floated down into the middle of the alpha army. He placed his hand on the earth then instantly the black material shot across the ground surrounding anything it touching in the instant death of the black light. In a meer moment the alpha army was gone.
"It's alright.." He said, smiling. He glanced the same way Ryou did, seeing the same image. Suddenly, his face looked pained.
"I won't." He said, frowning.
"I can't.." He added, looking down at his hands. They were shaking suddenly. Not too much, but just enough to be noticeable.
"I'll... I'll find a way to make this alright." He said, looking up, his face looking worried. He wouldn't cry though.. He couldn't. A true ninja didn't show strong emotions.. Weakness. Not like that. He listened to Ryou's death comment, and let out a small laugh.
"No more than I have, my friend.." He said, smirking sadly, and still looking to the ground.
"There is no other way.." Ryou replied putting a hand on his shoulder. "The power that he unleashed, which I have only used one other time, is almost unstoppable and will literally tear the universe in two.. As you can see it's almost already happening. The last time I used it, I created the black hole in the milky way.." he said with a chuckle.
"Mephisto and I were fighting in one of our usual fights and afterwards I was so scared of the power I sealed it off making sure I would never use it again.. Now that he has control of my body he's released it. You need to stop it before he destroys the planet."
Sarah watched in awe at Koulgen's power. "Incredible..." she whispered. "He just took out the whole army!" Tsukete came running up next to her.
"WAY TO GO KOULGEN!" he yelled. Then he turned his attention over to Ryou and Kyle. "Hmm they've been silent for almost 5 minutes now.. What's going on?" he asked.
"Well the area around them seems to be tearing the fabric of space and time.. Kyle better hurry.. If it's doing what I think it's doing, the whole planet could implode."
The Night Angel floated down gracefully landing by Sarah. " The battle is done Ryou took temporal control back Kyle just needs to give the final blow before Ryou becomes evil again." He explain stilll using a double layered voice.
"There's gotta be," Kyle said, his voice cracking a bit. He felt his eyes tear up, but didn't let them fall. He ignored his jokes, and looked to the ground once more.
"And even if I do have to kill you.." He said, his voice low.
"I'll find a way to bring you back." He said, looking back up, a tear falling. He had a smirk on his face, and he wiped it off with the sleeve of his special fighting gear. He looked around, and the last thing he saw before the memory reel stopped was Ryou finding Kyle curled up in a ball in the snow, in Konoha.
"I think our time here is almost up.." He said, frowning. He felt something, and closed his eyes. He felt time warping around the planet.. Around the universe itself.
"I'll figure something out.. I swear it." He said, smiling as his body started to fade.
"And even if I don't.. Don't you ever forget.." He said, more tears falling.
"Don't you forget about us." He said, smirking, tears still streaming down his face. As he disappeared, images of everyone else they had known throughout their journey appeared beside him. Koulgen, Sarah, Toshiro, Shun, Tremears, Arashi, Jehuo, and many more. All lined up as far as the eye can see.
"It's been a long run.." He said, the last bits of him starting to fade.
"But it's been a damn good one." He said, genuinely smiling as he fully faded, nothing left behind.
Back at the battlefield, Kyle's eyes snapped open. He wiped his eyes once more, and jumped back, holding out his Keyblade. It started to glow pure white. The glow was so fierce that it hurt his eyes just to look at it. He could feel the white-hot energy emanating from it, pulsating through the air for miles and miles.
"Noovvvvaaaaa..." He said, another tear falling from his eye. A small white ball appeared at the end of his Keyblade, soon growing to an enormous size. It was already the size of the original Nova Portal, and it was still growing.. At least triple the energy was placed into this one.
"Portal.." He said, closing his eyes. The ball suddenly expanded at an alarming rate, becoming roughly ten times the size of the original. It was huge. The energy from it flared, and he was sure people all around the world could feel it easily, without a doubt.
".. Plus!" He screamed, the ball growing one last time, if it was even possible. He pulled his Keyblade away, recoiling as if he had just shot a gun. The Nova Portal+ shot forward at an alarming rate, time and space rippling around it.
"Goodbye.. My friend."
"Kyle..." Ryou smiled as tears formed in his eyes. "I will always be with you.. This time I don't want to come back." he said as he closed his eyes. "I've been away from Adinx too long... My time in this world is over. It's up to you and Tsukete now.." he said as he felt himself being overcome again. "NO!" he yelled as he kept him still. "I will not let you hurt anyone else!" Ryou growled.
"You think you can hold me you wimp" the other side laughed. "You could barely keep me contained. What makes you think you'll ever get control again."
"I know I can't." he said as time started moving again. "But I can keep you still long enough for THAT!" he said as the nova portal loomed nearer.
"No... no... CURSE YOU! I WILL NOT BE..." and then the screams and silence as the nova portal did its work. Ryou unleashed a huge amount of energy that created a blinding white light. "Good bye..." Ryou said right before the light hit.
Tsukete and Sarah were knocked unconscious along with everyone else. When they awoke they awoke in the courtyard in Ryou's school. They both looked at each other and blinked. They looked around and saw Alpha 5, Kyle, Tremears and Koulgen on the ground. "How did we get here?" Tsukete asked.
"That last bit of energy that he emitted right before the nova portal hit. It must have done all this."
"Amazing..." Tsukete said in awe. He looked around and saw his home exactly as it was before all the craziness. It was finally all over. He passed the training room where this all started and looked in. He thought he'd see the training hologram of Ryou but there was only silence. "I guess he truly is gone..." Tsukete said as tears formed in his eyes and he walked out.
After Tsukete had walked out, one of the training holograms activated and Ryou stood there with a smirk. Then someone else appeared next to him and held his hand. "You think they'll be ok?"
"I believe so Adinx.." Ryou replied as he put arm around her. "Now let's make up for lost time." he said as he twirled her around in the air and they vanished.
The Night Angel got up, and looked around . How did he do that I'm completely magic proof?" He asked wondering.
"Well everything is done I guess I should Koulgen his body back." He said then a flash burst from him leaving the normal Koulgen standing there.
"What the hell happened?" Koulgen asked confused. "Never mind I don't care. I got something I must do ." He said turning invisible, and running of into the horizon.
After the explosion of the Nova Portal, Kyle had blacked out. When he woke, he found himself in a grassy field. A dirt path led up to a large building.
"Am I dead..?" He asked nobody in particular, rubbing his eyes. His body ached, and he had to fight himself to stand. When he did, he stumbled a bit.
"We're.. Home." He said, smiling. He heard Koulgen take off, but payed him no attention. As he neared the school, his slow walk turned into a run, as he burst through the front doors. Everything was the same.. Nothing out of place. He navigated through the halls, and passed the training room. As he did, he thought he caught a small, quick glimpse of something.
"I must be seeing things.." He said, frowning. He kept walking, and turned into his room. He smiled once more as he walked in, and sat on his bed. Picking up the picture next to his bed, he stared at it for a few seconds. It contained four people.
Ryou, Arashi, Jehuo, and himself.
"Heh.." He chuckled, putting the picture back. Then, he noticed a paper sitting on his table. Picking it up, he read it.
I wanted to tell you right away,
About memories from the past that sleep within you,
And about the pieces that will tie you to your future.
Kyle,
you are who you are because of those people, but they're hurting,
and you're the only one who can end their sadness. They need you.
It's possible that all your journeys so far,
have been preparing you for this great new task that's waiting for you.
I should have known there were no coincidences, only links in a much larger chain of events.
And now the door to your next journey is ready to be opened.
Kyle stared at the letter, unsure of what to think of it. There were so many loose ends.. What people? What is this new journey? Who's the letter even from?
"Damn it.." He muttered.
"Why is it always me?" He asked, smirking. He slipped the letter into his pocket, and grabbed another piece of paper, and a pen.
I'm sorry to leave you all so soon, but I have a lot ahead of me, apparently. I may leave now, but this definitely isn't the last time I'll be seeing you all.. Not by a long shot.
"May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand."
Sincerely,
Kyle.
"Good enough," He said, setting the paper on his table. Opening the window next to his bed, he lept out onto the lawn, running into the field. He stopped once he was out of sight, and looked back at the school.
"Farewell, my friends." He turned away from the school, and looked up in the sky. Within the blink of an eye, he was gone, leaving behind only a faint streak of blue, leading into the sky where he had traveled.
And there we go.. A year long rp finally done.. Thanks for reading if you've stuck through this long!
