Hello, Everyone! How is everyone doing? Hopefully everyone is alright and well. Now for the BIG TOPIC OF TODAY! THE NEW CHAPTER IS UP! (Read the Note at the bottom)
Previously on The Worlds Collide:
"You can't save everyone Kudo-kun. You tried and that's what matters. You didn't leave him there not caring whether he died or lived. You wanted him to survive and he saved you. That is not a bad thing. You do so much to help everyone. For once just look at it differently. It's late, way too late and we should all be getting some sleep. I will go to the professor's house. We can continue this tomorrow. Is that fine?"
"Yes, that should be fine. Shinichi-kun where will you be going? I will be going to the Kudo Residence. I have some unfinished things to do. Call me if you are going to speak here or if you want we could speak at the Kudo Residence. I will be doing things though before going to sleep so I might not be up that early but we'll see what we could do. Oyasuminasai (Good night)"
"Oyasumi, Kudo-kun."
~Later that night: Kudo Manor: Shinichi's Dreams~
"SHINICHI!"
Who is that? Who is screaming my name?
"HELP ME! SHINICHI!"
There is a bright light and suddenly a royal figure dressed in golden robes.
"Who are you?" That seems to be the only question I can ask right now.
" I am the spirit inside of your Bracelet of Darkness. But I am not like the spirits in the Millennium Items. I am only here to guide you into learning to control the powers in the bracelet. I will be your companion and help you find the powers and find control over the now chaotic powers. Over time you will be able to tame them. But first you must pass the test, to prove that you deserve them, and will do good in this world, rather than abuse them and ruin this world and the sense of peace."
"What is the test? And… Why me?
"You have to prove you are worthy of the power. Power is a dangerous thing and with the wrong people… it can cause catastrophes. So answer my questions truthfully and let me judge your heart. What would you do if you see your biggest enemies in front of you, powerless?
"While I won't deny that I wish them harm, after what they did to me and all others, I will say that I can never torture or kill someone to get revenge. Not even for myself. I've seen what murders had done before. They used to be normal people that abided by the law, till something happens and they decide to get revenge. They then turn into cold hearted murders, and NO MATTER WHAT I would never be a person like that."
"What do you feel about the murderers you've met?
"I think that had they gotten a bit more guidance from those around them, actually went after the truth rather than harming, then they wouldn't have killed. They wouldn't have became murderers. While I can understand the drive that they may have had, I can never understand why a person would want to kill another person. After all, who are they to end that person's life? Had they maybe have waited, then maybe they would have understood the truth or seen the guilty persecuted by other means that don't include them getting their hands dirty by murdering someone. A detective's job is to find the wrongdoer and bring them to justice but it is not the job of a human to declare themselves higher than humanity and to end someone's life."
"Noble words, but what would you have done, had you been the one to catch your sister and best friend's murderers at this age?"
"I am not perfect and I am prone to making mistakes, but I wouldn't kill them. No. First of all, I think that killing someone, especially someone who deserves it, is letting them off too easy. They should go to jail and deal with the punishment of what they had done. While I would not kill them does not mean that I would not give them a good beating, If I'm too angry to control my temper. If not then they can rot them in jail for the rest of their life and feel the pain of losing something important. Like I lost important people to me, they would lose their freedom."
"You're not lying."
"Why would I lie? I don't want to become one of the murderers that I unfortunately have to see everyday."
"How are you mentally?"
"... I'm not gonna lie… but… my mental health is poor. I feel like I'm breaking inside but I don't know what to do. I honestly… it's coming back. Everything I thought that I had gotten over and won't do again. Suicidal tendencies that I thought I won't go through again. It's coming back. I'm slipping into depression, even faster than last time. I don't want to hurt my family and friends but… it… it's breaking me inside. The guilt. The pain and guilt of knowing that I survived and yet they didn't. They don't deserve that. It should be ME! (sob) the one that caused their death."
"How about listening to what they think?"
"... what? What do you mean, listen to what they think?"
"I mean, how about you hear what they think about what you are doing?"
After that a strong and powerful light erupted in the middle of the room they were in. When the light subsided 4 translucent figures were visible. 3 of those figures got closer to Shinichi/Conan. It was…
Eyes wide and unbelieving " Oyaji ! Seiko! Hanako! Jenny! Seiji!*But… HOW!"
While seeing the three people he thought he would never see again he forgot everything and began crying uncontrollably. The pain of the years had caught up to him and came rushing out.
"Shinichi… it's alright."
"How are you real?"
"We aren't. We are here to speak to you. Then we have to leave."
(To make it easier to know who said what from now on, the names will be put next to what each person says, example: Seiko: Seiji: Hanako, and Toichi for his uncle.)
Toichi: Shinichi… we are always watching over you, you know. You're not alone. Never are you alone. And never think my death was your fault. I was playing in things that I shouldn't have. I was gonna die either way.
Hanako: You were always my dear brother even without being directly related to you. Shinichi, you are facing problems now, but… know that I will forever love you and believe me I NEVER blamed you for my death.
Seiko: Ototo* Never will you ever blame my death on yourself! Do you understand? I love you and would die for you again if I can. Nothing can ever stop me from loving you! And I can tell you that all of us here love you and would never blame you for any of that, so piece of advice: Start living. You're missing so much.
Jenny: Shinichi! Onii-san*!
Shinichi: Jenny!
Jenny: Onii-san, don't blame yourself for my death. I didn't want them to hurt you. I love you you know. We might not be related by blood but I love you so much and I couldn't have had a better brother, so… please… please don't blame yourself for my death.
Seiji: Hello! I found out about who you really are, and I wanted to say that, I chose to save you, and it's not your fault that I died. I chose that for myself. So live and don't keep yourself in the past for things like this. We all love you and I hope that you can move on and live already. I may not know what happened to you, or know you personally but only a person with a pure heart would want to save a murderer and not think of their own life.
Conan: I… I…
Toichi: We have to go now, but we will forever be watching over you.
Everyone: See you/Bye/ I love you nii-san/ Ototo
They started to fade and soon they were not there. The spirit of the bracelet soon reappeared.
"They all love you, don't they? You don't have to carry the guilt. Everyone's life is written. They die when their life is over. You have been well and… you cared about them. Feeling guilt shouldn't be your job. It is the job of those who killed them. As long as you remember that… you will live and you will be happy and they told you themselves that they don't blame you. You have passed the test. You didn't lie, you show pure love and innocence. You have spared those who have taken life and been merciful to them. As the spirit of this Item, I gift it's powers to you. They show themselves to you and I will guide you to full control of them. So I said it, So mote it be! Congratulations, I will be happy to guide you when the time is right."
Then he faded and Shinichi felt himself floating in darkness. Slowly but steadily he started to hear things and the endless darkness was getting lighter. Moments later he opened his eyes to see his cousin and Haibara speaking over him. He was still in shock of seeing everyone that night. He had to think things over. Just a few weeks ago had you told him that magic existed, he would have laughed in their face and told them to try someone else. But now. He knew better and he knew that it wasn't just a dream. It couldn't have been. He still had the bracelet in his wrist.
He had the Bracelet of Darkness and he was going to control the powers. Oh, just what was he getting into?
And CUT! There we go. Another chapter done! And before everything else I want to say that I'M REALLY SORRY! I am drowning with how much work I have and I didn't have the time to write or upload. I finally finished the background and Yu-Gi-Oh! Soon comes in. Warning though: I am not good at writing card duels, so I don't really think that there will be much of those. I mean of course there will be dueling ( it wouldn't be Yu-Gi-Oh! without it) but I will not write out their moves. Also, this doc is a crossover, although it is dominantly Detective Conan. So don't say that this is only Detective Conan because it isn't but it is DOMINANTLY Detective Conan. Otherwise I have nothing to say other than: I hope you liked this chapter and I don't really know when the next time I will be able to post will be but I will try. Don't forget to Review and Have a Great Day and Stay Safe. Goodbye!
