Chapter 6: Reflections
Lan had not 'just konked out' as the doctor had told The Hikaris, and Maylu, he had slipped his consiousness into a world of evil, and absolute power.
He had gone to: Hupendor.
Lan awoke to find himself in a field, surrounded by nothing except grass. As far as the eye could see.
He got up and looked around.
' What the hell?' He wondered. ' Am I dreaming? What part of my childhood is THIS from?'
He glanced around, until he saw something besides grass.
' When did that tree get there?' As he approached the tree, some one snuck up behind him.
" Boo!" The person, a young female, said, right behind Lan.
Lan fell down from the shock, and the girl chuckled.
" You're a funny person!"
Lan rubbed his head.
" Ugh... Where am I?" He asked the girl.
" You mean you don't know?" She asked, cocking her head slightly.
Lan shook his head.
" You're in Limink, on the border of the kingdom of Hupendor!"
Lan rubbed his head. " Wha?" He looked down at hinmself for the first time, to see that his normal clothes were gone. Replacing them was a traditional Japanese robe.
" Wh--when did this--"
The girl grabed his hand. " Come on! The festivities are about to begin!" She ran down the hill, Lan close behind.
-----Dencity Hospital-----
A singal person, dressed in red, crouched outside Lan's room, on the window sill.
' Heh, Hikari, you're quite the delinquit... but now...'
He jumped in, and grabbed hold of the top of the room, and hung there, with catlike reflexes.
He then jumped down upon Lan, and straddled his body. He smirked.
He grabbed hold of the wire connecting him to the life support system, and stroked it lightly.
' Human life... so fragile... odd how it can be ended... like THIS!' At his thought of 'THIS!' He pulled the plug from Lan's body, causing it to lurch.
Aaron smirked. ' I Gave you a chance Lan... I really did...'
He back flipped out the window, laughing manically.
-----Ancient Farmtown: Limink-----
Lan suddenly fell to his knees, and clutched his chest.
The girl stopped, and looked down at him.
" What's wrong?" She asked, puzzled by her companion's sudden downsize in health.
Lan fell to the ground, his body un moving, his chest barely rising and falling, and slowing fast.
The girl paled.
" MOM! DAD!" She called for her parents.
-----Dencity Hospital-----
A sudden high pitched whine chorsed through the hospital waiting room.
The Hikaris, and the doctor both rushed into Lan's room, where he lay there, on his bed, his heart monitor flatlining, and his life support unplugged, and laying on the floor, his chest, s l o w l y, mving up and down, and getting slower as time passed.
The doctor rushed to plug the life support back in, and other doctors soon rushed into, to try to get his heart going again, to no chance.
-----Limink-----
Lan lay, halfway down the hill, his chest unmoving, and his body growing cold.
An older man and woman had gotten to him, and were trying anyway to get him to breath again.
-----Dencity Hospital-----
Hub stood in the doorway, returning from getting something to eat, staring blank mindedly at his brother, unmoving in anyway, and grabbed Maylu's hand, and squeezed hard.
Maylu stared onward.
Sure, she had hated Lan all her life, and he had been a jerk, but someone she knew was dieing, and she burst into tears.
Hub pulled her into an embrace, and closed his eyes.
" It'll all be okay..."
-----Limink-----
There was Lan, dead, lifelessin the world of Limink, because of one person's fault.
His own.
