I hurt inside!
But the pain I feel in my heart and soul transends the burning of the chemicals which course through my body...
I hurt because I see nothing but green light.
There is nothing around me but what feels like water slowing down the movement of my arms and legs but I know that it's not water...
I hurt because I have nothing.
Shizu closed her tortured eyes once more.
She knew that there was nothing to see but the soul destroying green light.
So why was it that she would keep opening her eyes time and time again only to see it?
Shizu had contemplated this again and again during the cold lonely days she had spent in this place.
She had only her thoughts here after all.
Nothing else.
She supposed it that it was hope keeping her going.
Keeping her alive.
Hope that she would soon be allowed to escape from this nightmarish place and return to the beautiful world she missed so much.
Shizu could hardly remember what it felt to be free.
To breath the air and walk long through an open field.
Benath a blue sky.
And a golden sunset.
Hope was all she had apart from her thoughts which terrified her and her memories which meant nothing in this place.
Time was meaningless here.
Memory was but the other side of a cold mirror.
Shizu could only hope.
Shizu hoped that she would be reawarded by her faith in Agito.
And she trusted her master as strongly as her love for him ran deeply.
So if his intentions were good then why was Agito Makashima, Guyver III, Zeus doing this to her?
Hadnt he caused her grief and pain during this last few days?
Shizu could no longer remember how many days hours minutes seconds she'd been here.
It was like someone was stealing her memories from her.
Her past.
She desperately tried to stop thinking like this.
Stop thinking.
Concentrate on love.
Your love for him.
Dream!
And this was what Shizu who would soon be the fourteenth Zoalord tried to do as she floated naked inside the processing tank.
She dreamt.
After all it was all she had.


The End!
