Hey Everybody, so last time on Ultimate Lied. Kurama confessed to everything, and he attempted to kill MAriko, much to Ben And Nana's objections. In a fit of anger and fury Mariko attempted to kill both Nana and Ben right in front of him. But thanks to the last-minute arrival of Bando, she was unsuccessful, then she manipulated Kurama's assistant Isobe not given her the code for her to stop the bombs in her body, and once he outlived his usefulness...she murdered him in cold blood. Kurama ordered Bando and Ben to take Nana far away from the battle and they did it, of course, it was reluctantly on Ben's part. Now with police made at her. Kurama walked over to her to give her a real loving embrace...but then a missile strike came and crashed at them. Did they survive? Will Ben and Nana be able to save them? Let's all find out.

And holy heck! We are at 70 favs and 78 followers. I want to thank you all so much for liking and enjoying this story, it means a lot to me that many of you are enjoying this :)

To bowham123: Really, that's cool :)

To Starlord Master: Yea it is, Thaks Happy June as well. I would have to give it a possibly 8, I mean its a good anime but I fell like they should include things from he anime more than just an original stuff, but still, one of my favorites.

To demoncworlf1999: Oh...sorry about that...

To the mysterious Mr.E: I know, I mean I know he survived in the manga but the two of them dying together..it was upsetting indeed.

To gamecubenut: I don't know, I mean from what I have read about Clockwork trying to restore something takes a lot of energy to do and if Ben used Clockwork to try to be someone who was obliterated...then that would use up way too much energy, not that he would not try to do it, but it would leave him weak and vulnerable for someone to strike him.

To alwyonlinereading: You will see in this chapter, don't worry.

To The HolyGlass: How is Ben a naive Goku? Ben hardly uses hi Omnitrix only when he is fighting, this story is mostly based on character interaction and development rather than just the action. I already said that I gave Ben the transformation into a Dilconius because I thought it would be unique, plus I have a plan for it. I figured that the flashbacks scene were a bit necessary, Ben needs to see Lucy's backstory to understand why she is doing all this horrible stuff, and I included the scene of Kurama so that we could see Ben's reaction to it. It will take Ben time to forgive Kurama nd Lucy for what they did.

Enoshima Park

Ben felt horrible, really he did. He left Kuram to deal with a powerful monster by himself, and he had to take Nana somewhere to safety. Every gut in him wanted to stay and save Kurama and defeat Mariko, but he would respect Kurama's wishes….but he felt so horrible for leaving Kurama to most likely die.

"Some superhero I turned out to be.." Ben thought as a tear came out of his eyes. He felt bad too...he wanted to try to help Mariko really much...but that girl...she was filled with so much anger and hatred….so why couldn't he fight her? Was it due to her being a small kid? Or was it due to her backstory? He didn't know..everything was so confusing..it was like everything was crashing down on him.

"Hey, kid!" Ben's thoughts snapped out when Bando smacked him upside the head to get his attention. "Listen, you heard him, he will deal with that little psycho bitch by himself, let's just get this one to safety first."

Ben would usually be mad for him referring to Mariko as a little bitch...but after what he saw...maybe he was right..sorta.

"Uh...wha-?" Nana said as she was groggily getting up. Ben looked over and frowned a bit when he saw her, he was not mad at her..but he felt sad...because they were leaving the man she viewed as a father behind...and it made him feel horrible too.

"What?" Nana said she noticed that she was being carried and was running away. "STOP!" She screamed as she then tried to wiggle out of Bando's arm. "Let me go! I have to save Papa!" she said.

"Shut it…" Bando said in a calm voice, from the tone of it...he felt somewhat a bit guilty as well for leaving Kurama behind…"Here." He said as he then put Nana down and presented her Kurama's tie. "Treasure it, it was a memento of your fathers." He said.

Nana took the tie and held it close to her chest, she looked up at him a little bit. "Memento?" She heard that word before..and it was not something good. She turned to Ben, who looked down and had a regretful expression on his face.

"He..seems like he was going to die..to protect us all." Bando said solemnly. This made Nana's eyes go wide. No..thsi couldn't be happening….she turned to face Ben, who looked down and saw a tear go down his face.

"NO!" she screamed as she then took back off from Bando and ran the other direction, most likely heading back to the bridge.

"Wait stupid! Don't go!" Bando yelled at her. Ben looked back at her and at Bando and was breathing heavily as sweat was going down his head. He breathed heavily as well and he decided to take off too.

"Don't tell me you're going back!" Bando said to him.

"I am and I will, I will protect Nana!" He yelled as he took off as well, leaving Bando behind looking appalled.

"*Sigh...shitty kids you both are.." He said as his hand became a fist.

Ben was getting closer and saw those missiles down there. His eyes went wide and he trembled a bit when he saw them..this was not good at all.

Enoshima Bridge

Nana ran all the way back to the bridge and saw a large posse of police officers and two large missiles in the ground. But she did not care about those, all she cared about was her papa.

"Whe-where's papa…?" Nana asked. A soldier looked over at her for a bit and turned back around.

"If you're talking about Kurama...he...he's down there...underneath the missiles." He solemnly said to her.

Nana….well her eyes went wide. No..that was not true. She tightened her fist, the one where he was carrying Kurama's tie and trembled a bit.

"No…" She whispered."No…" She said a bit louder. "NO!" she yelled as she ran right for the missiles and ran up to one hoping to move it. "Don't worry, I'll get you out papa!" She said frantically, but then some soldiers stopped her.

"STOP!" One soldier said he restrained her. "IT'S TOO DANGEROUS!"

"SHUT UP!" Nana yelled frantically as she tried to wrestle out of the soldier's arms. "LET ME GO!" She yelled. "I KNOW PAPA IS STILL ALIVE, I KNOW IT! PAPA! RESPOND PLEASE….PAPA!" She yelled out frantically.

Ben had finally arrived down to where the others were and as shocked to see what he saw. Two Large missiles in the ground….but they didn't do anything though...no sound or anything...but she got distracted by Nana screaming about Kurama being down there, underneath it all. And Ben fell down to his knees….he should have listened to his gut and stayed behind to help the man. Sure he was pissed off for what Kurama did...but Ben still wanted to save him though from a horrible death….and he couldn't…

Ben looked at the site and trembled, his body shaking, the sweat and blood going down his face, Nana's creaming and all that...the guilt rising in him….it was all too much.

"AAAAGGGGHHHH!" Ben gave a scream into the heavens really loud, so loud that the birds flew by and the soldiers all covered their ears. Nana did not respond due to her being so focused on Kurama. Ben then fell down and his hands touched the ground, tears coming out of his eyes. "What kind of hero am I?" He asked as he lowered his head. He saw Nana pleading and felt even more guilty. "Nana...I'm so sorry… He said through whispers.

Maple Inn

It was already night time at Maple Inn...and everyone was getting worried, Mayu and Nyu especially. Where were they? Are they alright? What had happened to them? All of these questions were in Mayu;s mind and were making her a bit worried and scared.

"I'm starting to worry about them." Yuka said in a worried voice. "I mean they should have been back hours ago! Ben has a watch on his wrist, so he should have been back!" Yuka said, and while she was being a bit brash, in her voice there was some concern and worry in there too.

Kouta got up. "I'm going to go look for them." He said getting up. Yuka looked at him with concern.

"Do you want me to go with you?" She asked.

"I'll go!" Mayu said. "I'm worried about Nana and Big Brother." She said.

"No. You guys stay here alright?" Kouta said as he got up.

"Come!" Nyu said standing up. "Nyu come too!" She said she said.

"You want to come as well Nyu?" He asked her, making the horned girl nodded her head rapidly. "Well...ok then."

"What?" Yuka asked ihm, ``Why her and not any of us as well?"

"Because NYu would eventually just follow me anyway." Kout asiad. Yuka sighed a bit knowing that that's the truth. "Anyway, we should try out Enoshima first. That's; where Nana was going, and maybe Ben might be there too." He said as he and Nyu both got up.

"Kouta...Nyu.." Yuka said, making the two look over at her. "Please take care, alright?" She asked.

"Yea..dont worry." Kout asia with a small smile.

"YEA!" Nyu said enthusiastically.

"I hope you all come back safe and soon." Nozomi said with a small smile. Mayu looked down at the table and worried.

"Ben...Nana...please be ok...please be alright." She thought. "I can't help it..but I feel something...might have happened….but I can't think those things...I can't." She thought. But with her trembling and all that...she was worried...worried as hell...

Kurama's Mind

Mariko and Kurama were now standing across from each other Mariko smiling at her father and Kurama smiling down at her.

"Father...what is this place?" Mariko asked, a bit confused.

"I don't know." He said, "But maybe it's the pathway..to heaven I suppose." He said to her.

Mariko looked up as his eyes widened a bit. "So...does that mean we'll''' always be together then?" She asked him.

"Yes...now c'mon, let's go to your mother now…" He said with a warm comforting smile. This time he was finally going to die and hopefully he, Mariko, and Hiromi were going to live together happily in the afterlife…

"Ok…" MAriko said to him, but then began to walk away by herself, Kurama tried to follow her...but for some reason he could not move, it was as if he was stuck in place or something...what was going on? Mariko looked back and gave him a sad smile. "But unfortunately, we can't go together….because this is where we part ways." She said in a solemn voice.

Kurama was shocked at her. "Bu-but why? MAriko! "hEs said, but it was no use. She began to walk away, with him shocked and having some tears go down his eyes. "Mariko.."

"Papa…" a disorientated voice said.

"Mariko…" Kurama sisad again.

"Papa! Papa!" Another disorientated voice said.

Real World/ Enoshima Park

"PAPA!" Nana yelled as she shook him to wake him up. Ben, who looked up to see what Nana was yelling about could see it all, even though his eyes were all red and blurry from crying. When he saw that Kurama was not a mangled mess. He started to smile a bit.

"Yes…..yes…" He said as tears came down his eyes again. A part of him was still angry at Kurama for doing those things to children….but he could also see that Kurama loved his daughter very much….could he be able to forgive him? He wondered…

Kurama meanwhile woke up and opened his eyes to see Nana looking at him, tears going down her face.

"PAPA!" Nana shouted as she hugged him tightly. "I'm so happy you're still alive!" She said as she buried her face into his shirt and cried into it. Ben walked a bit closer to discover that the area where Kuram was in had a large hole in it….did...Mariko save him? She had to!

"So...she protected me then…" Kurama thought. "Nana…" Kurama said as Nana took her head out and looked up at him. "What about Mariko?" He asked.

Nana stopped crying for a moment and looked down with a sad solemn outlook on her face. "She….she's dead…" She said as she looked down a tear going down her eye. She knew that Mariko was dangerous...but she was hoping...that she would accept Ben's help...so that maybe she could live a good life to…

Ben heard all of this and put his head down. He knew she was dangerous...but he...he at least wanted to try to save her though….and if that didn't work...well...he didn't know what he was going to do...all he could do was feel like crap.

"I'm sorry about your loss, Kurama." Ben thought to himself as he put his head down and began to offer a silent prayer, hoping that God will forgive Mariko and allow her into the afterlife to be reunited with her mother.

*CREAK*

Everyone then turned to see that a part of one of the missiles was breaking apart. Ben saw this too and quickly began to regain his composure and put his hand on the Omnitrix, getting ready to fight off whatever was coming out. A piece broke off and a figure was coming out of it..and who was it?

"Mariko?" Kurama asked with a shocked tone of voice. That's right, Mariko was getting out of the missle, it seems like she used the vectors to protect herself as well as Kurama, and now she was using her vectors to get out of it. She landed with grace and had her head down.

"But…." Nana thought. I don't sense her presence anymore…" She thought. "Could….could it be?" Ben walked up next to Nana, and looked at Mariko...for some reason...something;t seem right. Right then and their….Mariko had her face up...

"Myu?" She asked in a confused cute baby-like voice. This made both Kurama and Nana a bit shocked and confused. But when Ben heard it, his mouth immediately dropped to the ground.

"No...freaking..way…" Ben thought with shock.

Diclonius Institute

Director Kakuzawa and Arakawa were walking together down a dark corridor. Kakuzawa kept a straight face, but Arakawa wasn't due to the immense cold.

"Damn, it's so freeing down here!" Arakawa complained as she rubbed her arms rapidly to keep them warm. "So what is this all about?" She asked the Director, "Why did you bring me down here?"

Kakuzawa simply looked on and smiled. "Because I'm going to see to it that you look over the experiments from now on. For it's your name that'll go down in history." He said to her.

Arakawa looked at him with unease and anger. "So..you're finally revealing your true colors huh?" She thought with anger.

"From now on….we are going to destroy every Homo Sapien on the planet." He said. "So..do you feel ready my dear?" He asked.

"Huh?" Arakawa asked. "What do you mean sir?" Something in her gut told her that it was not anything good at all.

Kakuzawa smiled at her. "Are you ready to destroy all humans?" He asked her as he looked at her. Arakawa was sweating at this question, she wanted to object...but she had to play along or she might get killed.

She gave off a small smile and looked at him. "Isn't it obvious sir?" She asked. "It's an honor to be invited to do such a thrilling thing to do." she said, a part of her was yelling her to stop acting like that..but what other choices could she have?

"Good." Kakuzawa said, not really noticing her snarky voice, or simply didn't care." Now come with me in here." He said as he took out a keycard and swiped it on the scanner, the doors opened up to reveal that this was the same room he caught Shirakawa in. Arakawa's eyes widened a bit, never had she seen anything like this before, and she was looking at the thing in the center.

"Wh-what is it?" She asked, a bit nervous.

Kakuzawa smirked. "This my dear, is a thing that will put an end to human history….a living thing." He said as he walked on ahead of her, and her still standing in her place. A living thing? What Kind of thing? This whole thing was making Arakawa a bit nervous as well…

"Living thing…?" the woman said. "You mean like a nuclear weapon?" She asked.

"Oh no my dear." Kakuzawa said. Humanity cant just be reduced by nuclear weapons alone, as a few would possibly survive, and to those who do indeed survive, would just raise the numbers again." He said to her. "You should try to study a bit more on history

"Oh...ok…" Arakawa said, a bit uneasy though…"Soo ah are you going to do?" she asked.

Kakuzawa smirked at her as he went over to the wall and put her hand on a button. "You'll see my dear." He said as he then pushed don't the button. By pushing this button two large metallic arms came down and went inside that large metal thing. Steam coming out of it as it began pulling something up. When Arakawa saw it, his eyes went as wide as a saucer.

"This….this is…" She said with widened eyes and sweat going down her head with nervousness and shock.

Enoshima Bridge

Ben was on the ground in shock. Mariko...she just said those words...You...the similar words that Nyu had said when he met her….

"The accident..it made her..act like Nyu…!" Ben said with surprise. And he was not the only one who was surprised. Nana and Kurama were shocked as well.

When Mariko turned around and saw Kurama, she smiled big. "DADDY!" she screamed in joy as she tried to run over to him, but unfortunately she tripped on a rock and fell flat on her face. She slowly got up and began to tear up. "WWWAHHHH!" She cried as he put her hands on her eyes.

"She's...acting like a baby…" Ben thought with shock. "Just like...Nyu!"

Meanwhile, Kurama was walking away from Nana's side and walked up to the drowned girl, he knelt down and put his hand down to gently lift her head up to face him.

"Why did this happen?" He thought with shock as Mariko looked up at him and wiped a tear away.

"This...this is like with Lucy." Nana said with awe and interest. "She felt the same way as well." Ben had told her that something might have happened to Lucy that made her act like a child, could this be similar?

Ben was thinking the same thing, he thigh that something happened to Lucy that made her act in a similar way, he thought that maybe she felt so guilty about the murderers that she might have repressed those memories to do it...but now that he was thinking about it...he was wondering if something like this happened in actuality that might have happened.

Kurama, who had heard Lucy's anime and his head perked up a bit. "Nana, have you seen Lucy?" He asked her.

Nana put her head down. "Yes..but I couldn't fight her when enacted like that, but she always tends to come back once in a while…" She said.

Ben got up and walked over, he had heard all of this and he put his head down..he knew what was going on with Lucy..why she was killing people...but should he tell Kurama? He was nervous because if he did tell him that that would make his drive to kill Lucy even greater….Ben was angry with the girl for killing people...but at the same time, he could not blame her, after all, it was discrimination and the manipulations of that Voice that made her like this.

Kurama looked down at the now defenseless Mariko, who was snuggling into his leg with a big smile on her face. Kurama was sweating a lot now….he could do it now...he could put an end to it all. He got out his gun and pointed it right at the young girl

"NO!" Ben tried to stop him but a few soldiers held him down. Ben struggled to break free from them but was not used. "Get off of me you bastards!" He said to them.

Kurama looked down at Mariko, her gun pointing at her as she was still smiling. "All I ever wanted...was to watch you grow up..as long as I could." He thought as he began to imagine Mariko growing up, her going to school, getting good grades….all of it made Kurama's eyes water up as he closed his eyes. "I'm sorry." He said.

"NO!" Ben yelled at him, but Kurama didn't listen. And he was about to pull the trigger until something happened. The gun in his adjustment broke apart. Kurama looked at it with wide eyes and turned to Nana, who had a solemn look on her face.

"I'm sorry Papa...but you shouldn't kill your own child." She said to him.

"Nana….oh thank god." Ben said as he sighed in relief. Nana then saw the soldiers and gave them an angry look.

"And you...leave my big brother alone." She said to them. The soldiers then quickly let go of Ben And he got up. Ben walked over to them and he ruffled Nana's hair.

"Thanks? "He said to her, Nana smiling at him in return while giving him a hug, which he fondly returned.

Kuram saw this and looked back at Mariko and sighed heavy. "I know…" He said, gaining their attention. "I know it's wrong to kill your own child...but I...I can't let her kill more people." He said.

"Kurama." Ben said, prompting the adult to look at him. "You say that Diclonius have a genetic in them to kill when they get older right?"

"Yes." Th mean said, not really knowing where this was going.

Ben sighed and looked at him. "Just listen, maybe you do have a point there….but have you ever thought that maybe….just maybe that it might also be the experiments and other shit that you and everyone else at the place do to them?" He asked seriously. "I mean if people face discrimination like that and are treated like shit, then its more likely for them to get pissed off and go crazy and start killing people."

As Ben said that. Kurama looked down...taking the boy's words in.

"I mean I know I should hate Mariko for what she almost did to me and Nana, and for what she did to that Isobe guy, but at the same time should we really blame her? From what you said and from what she has said. She suffered a hard life in that place, all the experimentation you guys did to her...dodon't you think that might have been a reason why she went crazy and tried to kill us all? Rather than just a genetic drive to code?"

Kurama looked at him and back at Mariko, who was nuzzling her face in Kurama's neck and he didn't say anything.

"Like...I don't know...maybe Diclonius do have that generic drive to kill..but maybe if they were treated with kindness...then maybe that kindness would override that genetic code and they would begin to act like we normal humans." Ben said. "Like let me give you an example. Nana was in that facility, right? And yet you treated her with kindness and looks there now. She is the nicest girl I ever met and she is like my sister. Don't you think that...if you visited Mariko and offered the same kindness...maybe she wouldn't have turned out so bad.." He said

"Plus.." Ben thought. "While I don't know yet..but if Lucy..or Nyu is the supposed Queen of this species...then maybe the Voice...maybe the Voice has something to do with it as well." He thought.

Nana looked up at him and looked down...she remembered that Kurama was the only one who treated her with kindness a lot while she was a prisoner in the facility….if he did not show her kinds….could she have ended up being a killer herself?

Kurama sighed as he still continued to look away.

"Does a good father kill his daughter because they were bad?" Nana asked him. "Because a good father teaches their children what is right and wrong, right?" She asked him. "I mean..just because she has horns...why should you take it for granted that she won't be good just because she has horns?"

Kurama still looked down at Mariko who was calling him daddy and hugging him tightly as a little kid would. Ben had to admit that it was pretty cute...even though she had tried to kill him not that long ago…

"I mean...I'm sure you can get along with her!" Nana said as a tear was going down her eye. "Even if she does have horns on her head...then she can live with people!" She then turned to Ben. "Right, Big Brother?" She asked him.

Ben smiled a bit and turned to face Kurama. "I think so too...I mean I know she is not herself right now...but maybe if she indeed ever comes back to her senses...you could sit with her, tell her that killing is not right...and if you continue to treat her right...them maybe she might feel some remorse for what she had done, and hopefully she could do something to find redemption…there are some people who deserve a second chance...and even though she tried to kill me….I believe that she deserves a second chance...what about you Kurama?"

Kurama turned to face the two of them and back to Markio..her smiling at him while still hugging him tightly. He smiled...it wasn't big but he gave a genuine smile and patted Mariko on her head.

"Indeed…" He said. "It can be as you say, Nana…" He said to her.

Nana looked at him with a smile as her eyes went bright. Ben felt the same thing too.

"Ben..." Kurama said as he looked at him. "Your words...I feel like they are true to an extent...maybe if I did visit Mariko often like I did with Nana...maybe she would not have ended up like this...it's my fault that she almost killed you." He said.

"Well...now you have a chance to make things right again." Ben said to him. "And if she stays like this you can teach her, and if she returns to her senses...then you can teach her again what is right and wrong." He said. "I mean..I still can't really forgive you for killing a bunch of infants though..."

"I don't expect forgiveness for those." Kurama said to him. "

Nana had a few tears in her eyes but it was not tears of sadness, these were tears of happiness. She might be able to live happily now..with Kurama...and possibly Mariko? IT would be something she would have to get used to...but she felt happy...

"Yea.," Nana said with a smile. "Nana, Papa…., and-"

"ROOM MONITOR!" A familiar voice yelled. Causing him and everyone else to turn to the source of the nose to reveal Shirakawa arriving and walking up to them all. And she did not look happy at all. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" She yelled at him.

"Who the hell is that?" Ben asked with a raised eyebrow, making Nana shrug her shoulders at him.

"The Director's plans are scheduled for today!" She said to him. Making Kurama's eyes wide.

(Eyecatch featuring a child-like Mariko playing with Grey Matter)

(Eyecatch featuring Wild Mutt giving Nana and Mayu a ride on his back, making the girls smile in awe)

"Today…?" Kurama asked shakingly. Ben and Nana both noticed that sweat was going down his face and he was trembling a bit as his eyes were wide as saucers. "But the plan..was supposed to start in five months!" He said.

"What plan?" Ben asked him. But Kurama and Shirakawa ignored him and continued to talk.

"It was a lie." Shirakawa told him. "The plan was on the schedule all the time…" She said to him with dread. "And as long as that missile is launched is not stopped.."

"Then all of Humanity will fall…" He said with dread.

"WAIT!" Ben screamed. "What the hell are you people talking about? What Missile? Why Is humanity Going to fall? Someone talk to me!" He pleaded.

Kurama and Shirakwa looked at him, and Mariko hid behind Kurama, afraid of Ben's anger. Shirakawa sighed and looked at him.

"Alright...I'll explain what I saw." she said to him.

Diclonius Institute

So what was that object Arakawa was shocked at? Well..it was a big tank, a tank filled with a purplish-pink clear liquid.

"That...that's…!" She struggled to say.

"Yes my dear," Kakuzawa said. "This is the essence of the Vector Virus Culture Essence Fluid." He said to her, and he began to explain. "You see, if the glass in this tank breaks..let's say, above the Tokyo Bay for instance, the vapor in the wind would spread and it would infect over Twenty-Million people." He said.

Arakawa's eyes widened in the fight. Twenty-Million people? That thing is powerful enough to infect a whole country!

Kakuzawa was not done however. "But the people who have been infected, they will not show any signs of issues or problems. Hell, they won't even notice a thing…" His smile became wider as he looked at the tank with such...fascination. "And this is why the virus will be srepad, unnoticed." He thought darkly. "And in Ten months...as every child that has been born will be shown with her son their heads, it will be then that humanity will realize that it was the cause of a virus for the first time ever." He said. "But unfortunately for them..it will already be too late though...because in Ten months, the virus will spread throughout every nation, country, you name it." His grin became darker. "And once those Diclonii have become adults….then they will slay every human being on the planet."

Shirakawa was stunned, to think that a virus like this had enough power to spread through the earth! She was both intrigued..but also scared and worried.

"Well..uh...… what could we do with the Diclonii alone?" she asked him. "I mean if it springs the world-"

"Isn't it exciting , my dear?" He asked her. "We shall simply disseminate this and then..all of humanity will shut up and collapse under the Diclonius….and today...today will be the Diclonius History's first day...with your name carved in history." He said.

"Wait..did you say..today?" Arakawa asked in a nervous, frightened voice. "So..um...what part foy u plan is in that bottle there?" She asked him.

"Oh no." Kakuzawa said. "You see, the essence in that bottle is the very first to destroy our fellow humans, and it has an appropriate direction as well." He said to her.

Arakawa gulped a bit as more sweat was going down her face. "Direction you say, huh?" She asked. She did not like where this was going.

"Exactly." Kakuzawa said. "You see, in a few minutes, a rocket that is bearing a merryweather satellite will be ready to launch from Tanegashima Island." He said. "But the satellite is nothing more than just a dummy. For you see, there are ten cartridges of the virus inside the rocket."

As he was explaining all of this, Arakawa was beginning to become more nervous and frightened, how crazy was this guy? She wanted to leave...but knew that it might have ended up with her getting her killed though..

"And so after the rocket has been launched, then there will be an accident that will happen once its passage has gone over in the high altitude over the mainland." He said to her as he was still looking at his dark evil masterpiece. "And then so that it prevents it from crashing...then it will cause the rocket to self-destruct in the sky over Tokyo Bay."

Kakuzawa then turned to her, his face now looking inhuman, his smile as wide as a demon he sees glimmering with evil. Arakawa was unnerved and frightened by him. "For you see my dear." He said. "Exactly Twenty Million capital city area residents will become the first human sacrifices to the virus."

Arakawa's eyes widened as he said that….so many innocent people….being killed off, like pigs in a slaughter….

"Only a few minutes until launching time, my dear." He said to her. "This beacon is inextinguishable...humanity will fall by my hands." He said with a dark grin. "It will fall by this massive rocket...and nobody can stop it..not even God himself!" He said with a wicked grin.

Oh, boy folks...so much stuff going on in this one huh? So Mariko and Kurama both survived but Mariko has been reduced to that of a predicament similar to Nyu. And he and Nana both stop Kurama from killing her like this. But Shirakawa comes and tells them what is going on and Ben will explain everything.

Meanwhile...Kakuzawa had shown Arakawa a massive rocket which holds ten cartridges of Vector Virus essence, and is going to use it to spread all through the world. Will anything stop it? We shall find out next time.

So what do you all think of Ben's talk to Kurama like that….you think he might try to convince him to let Lucy go too if he tells him what happened to her? All we can do is hope, right?

Also please do not forget to read and review, I am always happy to hear from you guys and happy to answer any questions you might have for me.

See you all next time :)
