{The Great Divide by Breaking Benjamin}
(Music plays) Parker, Kayla, Aria, Brandon, and April stand in front of Skotadi, Roxanne, Kaijinred, Kaijinblue, and Kaijinyellow.
(Carry me all through the night. I am the last light fading) Parker and Aria walked together through the night then looked behind them to see Kaijinred and Kaijinyellow begin to disappear.
(Leave all the lost souls behind. Show me the silence breaking) Kayla leaned against the railing on a bridge looking at a framed picture of her and Cory. She then saw the glass crack and inevitably shatter
(And when you're lost and out of time) Brandon sat by himself in the park with his eyes bloodshot from from him possibly crying.
(I will be right here waiting) Brandon then looked to his side to see April sitting next to him.
(And when your dreams return to life) Skotadi stood by himself with Thanatos standing over him.
(I'll be forever fading) Thanatos then faded away and Skotadi looked up as Roxanne came by his side.
(And we'll fall behind) Skotadi and Roxanne smirked evilly then looked at the Zokugers as the five transformed.
(So I'll wait for you, as I keep your faith alive) Zokured and Zokuyellow fought many wisps then they narrowly dodged attacks from Kaijinred and Kaijinyellow.
(And I'll pray for you, as we cross the great divide) Zokublue and Kaijinblue fought each other intensely. They then stopped when Kaijinblue flew forward suddenly
(And I'll break for you) Zokugreen slashed a few wisps then he looked at Zokudrift as she mowed down several wisps
(As I open up the sky) Zokudrift and Zokugreen then looked forward to see Skotadi and Roxanne staring at them.
(And I'll stay for you) Skotadi smirked then he covered his hands in shadows and Roxanne covered her hands in black and green energy. The Zokugers readied their weapons.
(As we cross the great divide) The Zokugers charged at Skotadi and Roxanne, who charged at the Zokugers. Once they were close enough, the two groups attacked one another, causing a blinding light to be shown.
(Music plays) The light dies down and reveals in stylized lettering that was colored red, blue, yellow, green, and magenta Renegade Sentai Zokuger.
A few nights after the events of last chapter, Roxanne was at a lake looking at the water with sadness and anger on her face. She then looked down at her reflection in the water and could only stare at it. Roxanne began to grit her teeth as she began to hear whispers and voices coming from all around her, causing her to put one of her hands on her head and say,"Shut up."
The whispers and voices began to get louder, causing Roxanne to cover her ears. After a while, Roxanne put her hands down and shouted,"SHUT UP!" in anger. She then looked around to see no one near here and she began tearing up. Skotadi appeared a few inches away from Roxanne and in a caring tone he said,"There you are Roxanne. Are you alright?"
Roxanne wiped her eyes then said,"Yes master."
Skotadi walked over to Roxanne and put his hands on her shoulders before asking,"Are you sure? Ever since your battle with Zokublue, you have been quieter than normal."
"I'm fine Skotadi. I'm perfectly fine. I've just been thinking about how to get back at that blue bitch.",Roxanne said, still wiping the tears from her eyes. Skotadi looked at Roxanne with concern then he turned to face the lake before asking,"This lake is beautiful at night. I assume you came here for the view."
Roxanne also turned to the lake then said,"Yeah, I came here to look at the view."
Skotadi looked down at Roxanne, seeing her sadness for the first time, and he was confused as to what he should do. Suddenly, Skotadi felt a strong power and he said,"Whoever you are. Show yourself or feel my wrath."
"Heh heh, still quick to get in a fight Skotadi.",Skotadi and Roxanne heard as they turned around to see a black woman with jet black hair in the style of braids and a tall muscular Caucasian man with dark brown hair and a full beard. The woman wore a black and dark green leather jacket over dark green vest, black fitted jeans, and dark green low heel women's ankle boots. The man wore a white long sleeve shirt, grey jeans, and black shoes.
"Thought you would've grown out of that by now.",The woman said as she and the man walked up to Skotadi and Roxanne. Roxanne raised an eyebrow then looked at Skotadi as he said,"Blight, Break. I assumed you both to be dead long ago."
"You assumed wrong young one.",The woman, known as Blight, said while crossing her arms. The man, known as Break, walked up Skotadi, who looked at him and said,"I see Break here is still a mute."
"He is, but his actions speak louder than his words. Example.",Blight said with a smirk. Break then threw a punch at Skotadi, only to have it stopped by a tendril made by Roxanne.
"Don't touch my master.",Roxanne said. Blight smirked then she stared at Roxanne, causing the girl to begin hearing whispers and voices again. The whispers and voice became louder and louder in Roxanne's head, causing her to lose concentration and grab her head while repeatedly saying,"Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it! Shut up!"
Skotadi looked at Roxanne and gained an angered expression before he shouted,"Allagi Drakou!" and gained his armor. He then punched Break back towards Blight and fired black, red, and violet lightning at the two. The two jumped back then Blight said,"Oh that's new."
Skotadi held Roxanne close and she looked up at him before nuzzling into his chest and hugging him. Skotadi sighed in relief then he looked towards Blight and Break before saying,"State your business or I will show the both of you what happens when you hurt my queen."
"Your queen? This one?",Blight questioned.
"Yes Roxanne is my queen. Now I told you state your business woman!",Skotadi angrily said. Blight gained an impressed expression then she said,"We are here to see if you're worthy of our help."
"Your help? Why would I need help from the likes of you two?",Skotadi questioned.
"Well for one, those Zokugers you've been dealing with have become too much of a problem. And two, is because you need to be taught how to be a leader like your father.",Blight said. Skotadi raised an eyebrow then said,"Like I need to be anything like him."
"Oh you do, because how you've been dealing with this situation is that of a child who is only having fun.",Blight said. Roxanne summoned her war glaives then she charged at Blight. Break was about to step up but Blight held up her hand to him, causing him to stand in place.
Roxanne slashed at Blight several times, all of which were either blocked or evaded, then she was put in a headlock by Blight. Blight smirked then said,"Cute, but it will take more than your rage to beat me girl. Now sleep." before striking Roxanne in her neck. Roxanne immediately fell unconscious, Skotadi catching her before she hit the ground. Skotadi turned his gaze to Blight and Break and said,"What did you do woman?!"
"Put her into an, enlightening slumber. She will awake when she figures out what to do.",Blight said with a smirk before she and Break walked away from Skotadi and the unconscious Roxanne. Skotadi's armor faded away, now revealing his angered expression towards Blight and Break. His expression then changed to concern when he looked down at the unconscious Roxanne.
The next morning, Aria was at her college moving to leave for the day. Aria was wearing a light blue t shirt, navy blue sweatpants, and blue running shoes. Her hair had also grown to now being well past her shoulders.
Aria continued walking then she stopped and looked at the courtyard for a few moments, remembering the day Ekha attacked her and Parker. She sighed then began moving towards the exit once more but stopped when she saw Ekha standing in the doorway staring at her. Aria blinked in surprise then rubbed her eyes and Ekha was gone. Aria let out a sigh of relief then she looked over her shoulder as Parker walked up to her and said,"Aria, you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Just thought I saw a ghost.",Aria said while she and Parker exited the college.
At the abandoned refinery, Brandon walked into the factory carrying a backpack and he looked around before he said,"There it is." and walked over to the dragon burst seal. He took off the backpack then said,"Okay dragon burst seal. Let's get along." as he opened the backpack and took out a laptop.
Back with Aria and Parker, the couple had met up with April and Kayla to do some errands. The group walked together and Parker noticed that Aria seemed to have her mind on other things. He then said,"Aria, what're you thinking about?"
Aria looked at her boyfriend then said,"Oh nothing. Just been having a weird day is all."
"How weird?",Parker questioned.
"Like I keep seeing Ekha weird.",Aria said. Parker gained a slightly concerned expression then he said,"But Ekha's dead."
"I know she is but I keep seeing her. Like when we were on campus I saw her standing in the exit.",Aria said.
"Oh that is weird. Any idea on why that would happen?",Parker asked.
"No not really. Maybe I need to go to counseling or something.",Aria said. Suddenly, Aria and the others stopped when they saw Blight and Break standing in front of them. Blight looked at the group then said,"So, you are the Zokugers. Well, at least four of them anyway. Not what I expected."
"Sorry do we know you two?",Kayla questioned.
Blight chuckled then she looked at Break and motioned for him to move forward with her hand. Break cracked his neck and stretched his arms before he changed into a kaijin that had armor on him. The giant male wore a pale violet helmet that looked like a horned demon encased within an iron maiden. Steel shackles were strapped to his body, overlapping the patterns of bone and veins that ran from the collar around his neck to the cuffs that hung at his ankles. The same cuffs were wrapped around his wrists, with the one on his right being tethered by a chain to an oversized iron ball that was three times the size of a basketball.
Parker and the girls' gained surprised expressions then they all dropped to the ground to avoid Break as he charged at the group. The four activated their transformations with April saying,"Zoku change."
"ZOKURED, ZOKUBLUE, ZOKUYELLOW READY! ZOKUDRIFT, SANJOU!"
The four changed into Zokugers then began fighting Break. Break threw a punch at Zokured but he slid under it before punching Break in the back, with it not affecting the large man at all. Zokudrift kicked Break twice then she fell down and said,"Ow fuck! What's this guy made out of?!"
Zokured punched Break twice, stumbling back when his hands hurt, then he was picked up by his vest and slammed into Zokudrift. Both Zokugers groaned then they got up and summoned their weapons before beginning to fight Break once more.
Zokublue and Zokuyellow charged at Blight as she changed into a kaijin with armor on her as well. Blight now wore a toxic green helmet that resembled a eight eyed tarantula, her suit being the same color with a single sleeved dress made from a spider's web. A torn scarf was slung over her shoulder along with a single spike pauldron. A belt with the buckle of a black spider hugged her waist, the green Kaijin placing her hand upon her hip as she stood tall upon the bladed heel of stilettos.
Blight crossed her arms then she lifted her leg to block a punch from Zokuyellow and she moved to the side to dodge a shot from Zokublue. Blight evaded two more attacks from Zokuyellow then she kicked her three times, slashing Zokuyellow's torso with her stilettos. Zokuyellow stumbled back while Zokublue dodged some kicks then grabbed one and took Blight to the ground. Zokublue pinned Blight down then she was going to shoot her but ended up having Break's ball hitting her forward. Zokublue looked at Break to see the ball reattach to his wrist then he hit Zokudrift in the chest, causing her to fly across the street and revert into April.
"April.",Zokublue said before she took out her monstrous medal and charged towards Break while putting said medal into her changer.
"MONSTROUS ZOKUBLUE!"
Zokublue punched Break in the chest, managing to push him back slightly. She then blocked two attacks from him but when she was hit by his ball, she stumbled back into the wall of a building. Zokublue groaned then said,"That thing get heavier in the last few minutes?" before going back to fighting Break. Zokured took this opportunity to charge at Blight and help out Zokuyellow.
Blight blocked at dodged the attacks of both Zokured and Zokuyellow easily then she roundhouse kicked both of them. Zokured stumbled into a car then Blight kicked him in the shoulder; stabbing him through the shoulder, pinning him to the car and causing him to shout in pain. Blight chuckled then she said,"Does that hurt boy?" with malicious joy.
Zokuyellow charged towards Blight and she threw a punch but Blight quickly parried the punch then jabbed Zokuyellow in the in neck. Zokuyellow reverted into Aria then fell to her knees then to the ground unconscious.
"Aria!",Zokured shouted in anger before he grabbed Blight's ankle and forced her bladed stiletto out of his shoulder then he knees her in the stomach. Blight tumbled on the ground then she stood up and said,"That was unexpected. Break, come on." before she jumped up onto a roof. Break hit Zokublue back with his ball before he followed Blight. The two kaijin turned back into their human forms before walking away.
Zokured reverted into Parker, who had an expression of anger on his face, then he went over to Aria and said,"Aria, Aria wake up." with concern.
April and Kayla walked over to Parker with April saying,"What happened to Ari?"
"That woman hit her with some attack and now she's unconscious.",Parker said while never taking his gaze off of Aria and while sitting her up. Kayla knelt down then saw a toxic green mark and veins on Aria's neck then she said,"What the hell?"
"That doesn't look good. Maybe Odysseus knows something about this and those two.",April said.
"Maybe but none of us have been able to talk to him for a while now.",Kayla said.
"Perhaps I can be of assistance.",Skotadi said as he walked up to the Zokugers. Parker, April, and Kayla looked at the man with Parker getting angered and handing Aria to Kayla. He then stormed over to Skotadi and said,"The hell were those two and what did the woman do to Aria?!"
"Those were Blight and Break, my father's most loyal soldiers and his deadliest enforcers. As for what Blight did to Zokuyellow; she put her into what I can only describe as a hibernating state. She will stay unconscious until she is able to figure out whatever is going on inside her head.",Skotadi said.
The three Zokugers looked at each other then Parker said,"I thought you wouldn't resort to something like this."
"Don't put me in the same group as Blight or that brute Break. I would never do something like this to an enemy.",Skotadi said.
"Oh really? Then how the hell are you so knowledgeable on what's going on with Aria?",Parker said in an agitated tone.
"Because Blight performed the same technique on Roxanne last night.",Skotadi said with sorrow present in his voice. Parker's expression softened then he sighed and said,"So, why come to us and tell us this?"
"Because, I am confident that you all will be able to fight against Blight and Break and become stronger. Also… I'd rather that you and I get our partners back sooner than later.",Skotadi said while looking Parker in the eye. April and Kayla looked at one another then at Aria.
Currently, Aria stood in a prison cell by herself and she looked around before saying,"What the? Why am I back in prison?"
Aria then turned around and saw a younger version of herself and a younger version of Ekha sitting on the bed together. Ekha smirked as she stroked Aria's hair and Aria shook in fear.
Aria looked at the scene with disgust then said,"Can't believe I put up with that for so long."
"I can. I mean you needed someone to protect you. I was that protector.",Ekha said as she appeared next to Aria. Aria rolled her eyes then said,"You weren't my protector, you were my abuser." as she turned to Ekha. Ekha gained an agitated look then she said,"I see that you're still believing Zokured's lies."
Aria was going to respond but then she heard what sounded like crying coming from down the hall. Aria opened the cell and ran down the hall, ignoring Ekha as she called out to her. Aria ran down the hall then she stopped at a crossroads and looked around before seeing a little girl hugging her legs to her chest and crying into her hands. This little girl was Caucasian and had black hair which stopped at her shoulder and she wore a green and black t shirt, green shorts and green sandals.
Aria walked over to this girl and said in a compassionate tone,"Hey, hey don't cry. Don't cry little girl."
The little girl continued to cry and Aria raised an eyebrow then she tried to touch the girl but her hand went through her. Aria was surprised by this and she looked at her hand before looking at the little girl.
The little girl continued to cry until she heard someone say,"Why are you crying?" and she looked up to see a little boy who looked like a younger version of Skotadi when half his body was monstrous. The little girl sniffled then said,"I got hurt at school. The other kids bully me because my parents are dead and for other things."
The little boy blinked then said,"Why would they do that?"
"I don't know. They say that I'm weird and that if I had parents then I'd be able to be cool.",The little girl said. The little boy gained a confused expression then said,"How are you weird?"
The little girl looked at the boy then stood up and she bent backwards, her hands touching the ground, then she began moving around before she stood up straight. The girl looked at the boy then said,"That's why I'm weird. I can do things like that."
"You are weird, you are amazing.",the boy said. The little girl looked at the boy then said,"No I'm not, if I was then I wouldn't get bullied."
"Those that bully you are weaklings and they're jealous of how amazing you are. Don't listen to them.",The boy said with confidence. The little girl looked at the boy and smiled then she said,"Thank you. My name is Roxanne." while holding out her hand. The boy took Roxanne's hand then said,"I am Skotadi."
Aria's eyes widened and she said,"These kids are Skotadi and Roxanne? I thought they only met two months ago."
"Roxanne, Roxannne.",The children heard a woman say. Skotadi looked at Roxanne then said,"Who is that?"
"That's Ms. Fairway. She runs the orphanage I stay at.",Roxanne said.
Skotadi nodded then he said,"I have to go before my father sends for me."
"Oh okay, can we talk to each other again?",Roxanne asked with desperation. Skotadi nodded then he said,"Farewell." while waving. Roxanne waved then she looked back to see Ms. Fairway coming towards her. She then looked back and Skotadi was gone, which made her sad and she frowned.
Aria watched as the young Roxanne and Ms. Fairway disappeared then she said,"Roxanne was bullied when she was that young and all because she was flexible and her parents died. Poor girl."
"How is she a poor girl? Life is hard for everyone and she's no exception.",Ekha said as she appeared beside Aria, who gained an annoyed expression.
"Yes, life is hard for everyone but she was just a kid. No one should have to go through something like losing their parents at that age.",Aria said. Ekha rolled her eyes then said,"Oh boo hoo, Skotadi's girlfriend is an orphan. Frankly she should be happy her parents are dead, I've found that parents and family in general sucks."
Aria groaned then she walked away from Ekha, causing Ekha to become angered and shout,"Little one! Get back here!"
Aria continued walking until she came to a door and opened it. She walked through the door then looked around to see that she was now in the hallway of a mental asylum. Aria raised an eyebrow then said,"A mental asylum? Why am I here, I never went to one of these places."
"Lord knows you should've. I mean without me you're so lost.",Ekha said in her usual manipulative tone. Aria looked at Ekha and said,"Can you fuck off please?" before she walked away from Ekha. Aria walked down the hallway, and then she came to the door of a padded cell. Aria looked into the small window of the door and she saw a now preteen Roxanne sitting in the corner of the room looking at the wall with sadness prevalent in her expression. She now wore a straight jacket with her arms being loose, white shorts and was currently bare foot. Her hair had also gotten longer.
Aria looked on and said to herself,"Why is Roxanne in a mental asylum? I mean yes she's crazy but I didn't think she'd be here of all places."
Roxanne looked down then she said,"Shut up. All of you." becoming angered all of us sudden. Roxanne then shouted and said,"GET OUT OF MY HEAD! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"
"What is wrong Roxanne?",Roxanne heard come from her right side. She looked to her side to see a boy that was about her age and had Skotadi's monstrous side. Roxanne smiled then said,"Skotadi, you're back! I knew I wasn't crazy."
"Why would you be crazy?",Skotadi asked, genuinely confused by what Roxanne said.
"Oh well after we talked, I told people that we were friends but no one believed me. They kept picking on me for years, saying I had an imaginary friend and that I was too old for that. But now that you're here, I know I'm not crazy.",Roxanne said with joy. Skotadi nodded then said,"You're still so amazing Roxanne, and those people are still jealous of you. It's infuriating to hear."
"It is?",Roxanne questioned.
"Yes. They're too simple minded to grasp your way of thinking so they call you names and pick at you, when you should be revered by them for not conforming to their ways.",Skotadi said. Roxanne thought about it then she said,"You really think so?"
"I know so.",Skotadi said while looking Roxanne in the eye. The two teens stared into each other's eyes and smiled then Skotadi looked at his human side and said,"Sadly I must go again."
"Wait wait, when will I see you again? Please tell me.",Roxanne asked with desperation and genuine want.
"I cannot say for certain, however when you get out of here. Maybe you should look for me.",Skotadi said. Roxanne thought about it then said,"Okay, I can do that."
"I know you can. When you find me, I will look different from how I look right now and you may have to remind me who you are.",Skotadi said to Roxanne. Roxanne nodded eagerly then she said,"I can do that. I'll do anything you ask Skotadi."
Skotadi smiled warmly then he said,"Then I ask that you seek to become stronger, because you deserve more than this." before he disappeared. Roxanne nodded then she said,"Become stronger… I need to become stronger for Skotadi."
Roxanne then began hearing voices and whispers again and she gritted her teeth before standing up and saying,"Get, the fuck, out my head! Shut up! Shut up!" and grabbing her head. She began screaming and once the asylum staff came in and tried to restrain her, she began fighting them.
Aria moved back from the door then said,"She got here because everyone assumed Skotadi was made up." with sadness. Aria then walked down the hallway and was surprised when she came out of a doorway and was on the shore of the lake Skotadi and Roxanne were at at the beginning of the chapter. Aria looked around and Ekha appeared beside her, to which Aria simply pushed her to the side before seeing Roxanne, now as a young adult, standing at the shore staring at the lake and the moon's reflection.
Aria walked up to Roxanne, who looked at her and said,"Why are you here?"
"I don't know really. Although I think it has something to do with what Blight did to me.",Aria said. Roxanne nodded then she put her hands over ears and said,"Stop talking. You're not real."
Aria could only stare at Roxanne with sadness then she asked,"Why do you do that? The whole covering your ears and saying stop talking thing."
"Why do you care?",Roxanne asked, becoming defensive about the subject.
"I care because before I got here, I saw you as a little girl and a preteen talking to Skotadi. In one of those, you did the same thing and I want to know why you do it.",Aria said with compassion. Roxanne only stared at Aria then she sighed and said,"I hear voices. Everyday, every minute of every hour I hear voices. All they say is that I'm worthless, have nothing to contribute, am crazy and other things. It's hard to not go crazy when you hear all that everyday."
Aria listened to Roxanne as she said,"But then I met Skotadi and they went away whenever I was with him. Not to mention, he's the first person to see me as something more than a crazy orphan girl."
"So that's why you follow him? Because he's like an inhibitor for the voices in your head?",Aria asked.
"No, I follow him because he's the only one who understands me. Who sees me for what I can be and not what I am. Also I love him.",Roxanne said while looking out at the lake. Aria nodded then she said,"Well, I can say that I understand what you've been through."
Roxanne scoffed then said,"How can you understand anything I've been through?"
"Because I've been through something similar. You know how Ekha was my ex right?",Aria said. Roxanne nodded then Aria continued,"Well, only reason we were even together is because she forced me into the relationship and continued manipulating and beating me to keep me in it."
Roxanne turned to Aria then asked,"How'd you get out of it?"
"Well for one, I was released from prison. Two, I gained friends and a boyfriend who taught me how to love myself as well as to not just be in a relationship for the sake of it. They also showed me what means to have people in your life that love you for you and not for any twisted reason.",Aria said in a caring tone. Roxanne looked down at her hands then she and Aria looked back as Ekha came up to them saying,"I gave you all of that little one."
"No you didn't Ekha! All you did was keep me scared of you and subservient to you. I'm done with that and never going to have it happen again.",Aria said in a commanding voice. Roxanne looked at Aria then she began hearing voices and whispers again, causing her to cover her ears. Aria walked up to Roxanne and put her hands down before saying,"Roxanne, you don't need to do that anymore. The voices you hear, they're only in your head and you can fight them. You can beat them."
Roxanne looked at Aria with hesitant eyes then she slowly put her hands down and let out a deep breath. It was then that the voices in her head began to quiet down and she felt at peace slightly. The two girls smiled then they turned to Ekha as she said,"Okay this is all well and good but this ends now! Come on little one, we're leaving."
"Wow, even dead you're a controlling hag. No wonder Zokuyellow kicked you to the curb.",Roxanne said, which caused Aria to snicker. Ekha gritted her teeth then said,"Don't you dare talk to me like that?"
"Aw, did I hurt your feelings? Make you feel weak?",Roxanne teased. Ekha gritted her teeth then she looked at how Aria was laughing and she said,"That's it."
Ekha then changed into Kaijinyellow but now she had four arms, six eyes, and mandibles. Aria and Roxanne gasped then Aria said,"Ya know, I'm sick of having you in my life Ekha. Time that you get out of it for good."
Aria then took out her medal but she looked at it to see that she had taken out the Kaijinyellow medal but it had now changed to where it was a brighter shade of yellow and had a stylized black B in the center. It also was now rounded instead of jagged. Aria shrugged then she put the medal into her changed causing the changer to say,"WASP!"
A swarm of wasps made of yellow appeared around Aria as she gained the Zokuyellow suit. The wasps then collided with Aria forming armor on her legs, arms, torso, and giving her a new helmet. Her torso armor was yellow with black stripes that gave it the appearance of a Wasps exoskeleton with rounded yellow shoulder pads that have a black crest on the front and back of them that was in the shape of a stylized V also it had clear insect wings on the back which formed a cape. Aria also had a yellow skirt that had two black stripes on it and a black belt that had a yellow buckle which was in the shape of a stinging wasp. Her gauntlets were yellow with black stripes and gave off the appearance of a wasps exoskeleton. Her boots were now knee high, yellow with black stripes, had the appearance of a wasps exoskeleton, were black in the entire foot portion of the boot, and were now heels. Aria's helmet was yellow with a large black crest on the forehead that was shaped like a stylized V, had large bug eyes like visor which was colored black, and the lower part of the helmet where the mouth would be resembled that of a wasps mouth.
"BLITZ ZOKUYELLOW!",the changer announced as Zokuyellow now stood in her new attire. Roxanne's eyes widened as did Kaijinyellow's. Zokuyellow looked at her new armor then she held out her hand and a rapier that had a yellow hilt with a black crossguard. This caused the changer to say,"STING RASPIER!"
{Theme for fight:Killing Me Slowly by Bad Wolves}
Kaijinyellow let out a rage filled scream before she charged at Zokuyellow. Zokuyellow charged at Kaijinyellow then slashed her across the stomach before slashing her three times. Kaijinyellow growled then she punched Zokuyellow twice in the side before kicked back and slashed three times. Kaijinyellow threw a flurry of punches towards Zokuyellow but they were all blocked saved for the last one which sent Zokuyellow into the air. Zokuyellow hovered in the air by using her wings then she slashed four yellow shockwaves at Kaijinyellow, who blocked to shockwaves before darting towards Zokuyellow. Zokuyellow kicked Kaijinyellow in the chin before bashing her twice with the crossguard of her Sting Raspier. Kaijinyellow roared then attempted to grab Zokuyellow, who dodged her then kicked her in the back. The two then clashed several times in the air before Zokuyellow managed to cut off Kaijinyellow's wings, causing the Kaijin to plummet to the ground, crashing down hard.
Kaijinyellow struggled to stand then she watched as Zokuyellow landed gracefully in front of her. She then roared before using all four of her hands to grab Zokuyellow and attempted to lift her into the air. The blade of Zokuyellow's rapier had yellow and black energy gather around the blade before she severed all four of Kaijinyellow's arms, causing the kaijin to roar in agony, before stabbing her through the chest.
"BLITZING YELLOW BURST!",The rapier announced as Zokuyellow performed the attack.
{Theme End}
Kaijinyellow then reverted into a now armless Ekha, who coughed up some blood before straining to say,"You… need… me. You're.. nothing… without… me." in a malice filled tone.
"You know, even though you made my life hell, I still forgive you.",Zokuyellow said.
"Forgive… me?",Ekha questioned.
"Yeah. I forgive you because if I didn't, you'd still have control over me. Goodbye Ekha.",Zokuyellow said before taking her rapier out of Ekha's chest. Ekha began falling to ground but faded into dark yellow energy before she hit the ground. Zokuyellow reverted into Aria, who let out a sigh of relief, then she walked towards Roxanne. Roxanne looked at Aria, who stopped in front of her and asked,"You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm okay.",Roxanne said while rubbing the back of her neck. Aria smiled warmly then she and Roxanne looked around as the ground beneath them broke apart. The two women fell into an abyss while screaming in surprise.
At Kayla's house, Aria awoke suddenly on Kayla's couch and sat up, having a cold sweat. Parker smiled widely then he hugged Aria with joy as Kayla and April came into the room with joy plastered on their faces. Aria looked at her friends and said,"Guys, how long have I been out?"
"You've been asleep for two days.",Kayla said in a caring tone. Aria was shocked by this as she said,"Two days? It only felt like a few hours though. Wait a sec."
Aria then reached into her pocket and pulled out her Blitz medal and she stared at it while April asked,"What's that?"
"It's my Blitz medal. I got it while I was asleep.",Aria said while smiling softly.
"Really? How?",Kayla questioned.
"Does it matter? You're awake and okay.",Parker said with joy. Aria looked at her boyfriend and she grinned then she suddenly kissed him passionately. She then pulled away and Parker said,"Okay, that was new."
"New? You guys haven't kissed before now?",Kayla questioned. Aria and Parker shook their heads, to which Kayla and April's jaws dropped. Aria and Parker chuckled then Aria stared at her friends and said,"Thank you guys, for helping me see my own worth."
Parker, Kayla, and April looked at Aria and smiled while nodding.
At the abandoned bar, Roxanne awoke suddenly and she gasped before looking around. She sat up and only saw a sleeping Skotadi sitting next to the bed she was on. Roxanne gained a small smile then she got to her feet and gave the sleeping man a peck on his lips before whispering,"I'll be back master." and left the bar.
Later on that night, Aria was walking to her house from the bus stop when she saw Roxanne leaning against a fence. Aria stopped as Roxanne stood up straight and asked,"Why did you help me out back there? When we were in that weird dream."
Aria looked down for a sec then she looked Roxanne in the eyes before saying,"It's like I told you, I understand what you went through. Plus, seeing how throughout your entire life you've really had only Skotadi to rely on, I felt that you needed someone else to be kind to you."
Roxanne gained a surprised expression then she became nervous as she said,"So what does this mean? We friends or something?"
Aria thought about it for a sec then she said,"Yeah we're friends. Even though we have to fight."
"Oh okay.",Roxanne said with a nervous smile. Aria smiled then said,"So, you want to hang out or something?"
"No, no. I can't, have to get back to Skotadi.",Roxanne said.
"Ya know, you don't have to stay by his side if you don't want to.",Aria said, in a suggesting tone.
"I know, but I want to. Like I said, I love him.",Roxanne said before walking away from Aria and disappearing into a sickly black and green portal. Aria sighed then she said,"Maybe she's not as evil as we all think she is."
Back at the abandoned bar, Roxanne entered the room she was previously in to see Skotadi was now awake and sitting in his chair. Roxanne walked over to Skotadi and was about to speak but Skotadi stopped her and said in a voice that sounded as if he was on the verge of tears,"I am sorry Roxanne. For not being there for you all those years ago and for allowing Blight to hurt you. I truly am."
Roxanne sat in Skotadi's lap then said,"It's okay master."
"Not to me. In the two days that you were unconscious, I realized how much I needed you around and how much I love you.",Skotadi said. Roxanne turned Skotadi's head so they made eye contact then said,"You love me?"
"Yes. I love you Roxanne.",Skotadi said with genuine love.
"I love you too master.",Roxanne said. Skotadi shook his head then said,"Just call me Skotadi Roxanne. I am not your master."
"Okay, Skotadi.",Roxanne said before she kissed Skotadi lovingly. The kiss quickly became intense and passionate as Roxanne moved around so she was straddling Skotadi and Skotadi put his hands on Roxanne's hips. Then two chuckled then Skotadi lifted Roxanne up and placed her on her back on the bed, never breaking their kiss. He then took off his shirt and Roxanne took off hers before they went back to kissing one another.
