Chapter 11. Destiny....
=======================================
"Karibi-sama..." A young woman who looks alot like Rei is standing across from what looks to be a King.
He smiles softly. "Faia-ko...." He walks over to her and puts his hands on her shoulder.
She looks up at him, her eyes shimmering. "Is this real...? Or is it only a dream...?"
He puts his hand gently on her face. "It's real... only if you believe it is..."
Her eyes shimmer, tears coming to them. "Karibi... You know I can't believe..."
His closes his eyes. "I know you can't... but... I will try to save you this time my love...."
"Then my dear... I will be waiting... but... please save me if you are alive and well..." She slowly backs away into
darkness. "Because.... I can not fight anymore.... Forgive me... one day..."
He watches her disappear into the darkness. "I will my dear... with all the knights I will my dear... with all the
priestesses I will my dear... and with our daughter I will my dear... I promise you..." He closes his eyes and walks
off into the bright light.
From the far distance Utena sees this, but what makes her mad is that she can not cleary see the King.
"Karibi... that's his name. My mother's name is Faia... and I'm Shu-ko. But I can never see my father cleary...
why?" She sighs and all of sudden the world around her get's fuzzy.
"Utena, Utena wake up." A warm, deep voice says.
Utena slowly opens her eyes. "Wha..." She slowly sits up, rubs her eyes and looks up at who was talking to her.
It was Touga. "Touga... what... what's going on?"
Touga helps her up. "We're inside Lucifer's Lair. When we got here, we all got knocked out by the force of that
strange portal we went through. We ended up in the south wing of the castle."
Utena looks around. "This place... is so dark. Nothing at all like the rose castle."
"Of course not... This place is filled with all sorts of Evil." Kimu walks up to Utena. "You souldn't of come
Princess. We're suppose to be the ones who are to protect Queen Faia."
Utena shakes her head, determination in her eyes. "Akio has my mother and It's my duty to rescue her!"
Yoru smiles warmly. "Princess. You've become so much stronger than your mother. Yes, maybe it will be you in
the end who truely rescues her."
Miki stops his stopwatch. "30 seconds." He looks at Kimu. "We sould get going if we actually do want to rescue
her."
Shalon looks over to Kimu. "Kimi, what will we do once we finally get there?"
Kimu looks at her. "We'll see soon enough, Shalon-chan."
Juri walks forward a few paces. "The faster we move the more likely the queen will remain un-harmed."
All but Utena nod their heads.
As they walk through the castle, Utena feels so cold. 'This place... is so cold.... I feel like I'm about to freeze my
ashkins off...'
Touga looks at her. "Cold in here, isn't it?"
Utena looks over to him and nods her head. "Yes... very cold. Why is that so? Is it because of the Negative
Energy?"
"Exactly...." Saionji says with out looking back at her. "There's enough negative energy here to revolutinize the
world...."
Utena perks up. "Really?"
"The far most wrong way..." Shalon says also with out looking back at her.
They then get to a huge circle like hall with different doorways leading somewhere or other.
Juri sighs. "We're not going to get anywhere with this... "
Kimu steps up a bit. "I guess we'll have to split up..." She holds up her hand and in a blaze her sword appears
in her hand and so does her dueling outfit.
Yoru steps up as well, holds up her hand as her own sword appears and a purple dueling outfit with high black
boots appear on her own self.
Shalon steps up then and holds up her hand as a sword also appears in it as she has a dark green version of
Kimu's outfit. She looks back at everyone. "We better get going then..."
Everyone nods their heads exsept Utena.
Utena looks at Kimu. "Where just going to split up and risk something happening to one of us??"
Kimu sighs. "We have no choice, anyways... we're all the best fighters in this realm."
Yoru steps beside Kimu. "Let's choose teams of two if any of you don't want to go alone. Shalon and Saionji,
Kimu and Miki, Me and Juri, Utena and Touga. If there are no problems with this arrangement then we can head
out."
Miki pairs up with Kimu.
Saionji pairs up with Shalon.
Juri pairs up with Yoru.
Touga pairs up with Utena.
They then all start to go through their own hallways.
Utena stays silent for the first 5 minutes of walking. She then speaks something after that time. "Touga... Do
you think that Rei will be alright when we find her...?"
Touga stayed silent for about 30 seconds, then looked at her. ".... .... I can't promise you anything Utena.... but I
hope that she will be alright when or if we ever do find her...."
Utena's eyes widen. "What do you mean If!?"
Touga closes his eyes, still walking. " I mean that it's not going to be easy getting all the way to Lucifer. I can bet
my money that some of us arn't going to make it there in one peice.... or if even a one peice is left..."
Utena's face turns red in rage and glares at him slightly. "How can you talk like that!? You don't know for sure!!"
Touga stops. "I know what happened in the past when the Queen went out to find Lucifer. He's just as powerful
as he was then... and... he'll probaly be alot more powerful if he manages to capture the golden rose seal that
she has." He opens his eyes and looks at her. "That's why Yoru said that you might be the only one who can
rescue your mother... and it is the truth."
Utena looks in his eyes and sees a fire burning in there. She knows he's holding back his tongue. He could be
cussing her out because he knows better, but he won't.
Touga starts walking again and they don't say a word for the next 10 minutes.
Shalon is walking with Saionji.
Saionji sighs. "This truely is going to take forever..."
Shalon keeps her eyes closed. "Yeah.... but we have to get through this.... somehow..."
They keep walking through the now turning from black to a deep, dark green halls.
Saionji blinks as he notices this. "Shalon... have you noticed... anything... unusal about the halls?"
Shalon looks at the halls as they keep walking. "Yeah... they're turning... green..."
Then they both stop.
Saionji takes out his sword. "This might be a trap... Stay behide me... I'll go first..." He then starts to walk
forward, Shalon very close behide him, looking scared and worried. Saionji thinks to himself 'Something's
going to happen... I know so... I can feel it...'
They keep walking for the next 7 minutes, but then, they start to see a light ahead.
Shalon's eyes widen as they get closer to the light. "Is than an exit?!"
They then both start running towards the light and then once they get to the end they both wish they hadn't.
All of a sudden vines strike out of no wear and enwrap Saionji as he is dragged out into the middle of the big
arena covered with many plants. Not pretty ones I might add.
"SAIONJI-SAMA!" She starts to run out him but is stopped by vines holding her back.
"SHALON-CHAN!" He calls out before he is cut off by the wines enwraping him until he looks like he's
mummified in them.
Then... two enormous lions comes out, their eyes glowing red as they look at the vine and throne enwrapped
Saionji.
Shalon's eyes widen and she keeps screaming out for him, tears streaming down her face.
It's then the lions both pounce on him and starts tearing and eating up everything... everything including him...
Shalon closes her eyes tightly and makes a blood curdling scream that could wake up the dead and then make
them gods.
The lions then back away once there's nothing left but scattered bones and blood.
The vines let her go finally as she collapses.
"Oh... isn't this a familar scene of blood Chi?" A familar dark and evil voice is heard.
Shalon looks up, feeling rage overwhelm her. "LUCIFER!!!" She stands up quickly. "WHERE THE HELL ARE
YOU LUCIFER!?!? GOD DAMNIT SHOW YOURSELF YOU BASTARD-MONSTER!!!"
"hmph...." Lucifer's eyes appear in the air. "Try to get to me in time.... if you can survive it..." He smirks and
disappears.
Shalon's eyes widen as she reappears in a jungle... and her face turns pale......
Kimu's grasp on Miki's arm tightens as they walk down their own hall.
Miki looks at her. "You felt it too... didn't you...?"
Kimu closes her eyes tightly as tears come up to them. "It's Shalon.... something's happened to her... something
bad...."
Miki's eyes waver. "Yes... and something has happened to Saionji as well.... I can feel it. Kimu... we sould stay
on our guard..."
Kimu nods her head slightly as they both walk closerly together.
Miki holds, the Mizu no Sword, their sword, protectively. 'I know what's going to happen... but... I have to figure
out a way for Kimu to survive.'
Just like what happened to the Priestess and Knight of Earth, the color of the walls start to change. They start to
change slowly into a dark, deep blue.
Kimu blinks looks at him. "Miki... what's going on? What's with the color changing walls?"
Miki glances at him. "I think we're about to find out..." He points ahead. "Look... there a light ahead."
Kimu blinks. "Is it a way out of here? Did we find the exit?"
Miki shakes his head as they both start to run towards it. "I'm not sure, but we'll find out soon enough."
Once they get there... it's just a big ocean and both Miki and Kimu fall into it.
Kimu gasps for air and then looks at Miki. "Miki-chan! What on earth is this!?"
Miki looks at her. "I'm not su-" He is cut off by something dragging him under the sea water.
Kimu's eyes widen. "Miki-chan!!" She then dives down after him, seeing him being dragged down by a giant
squid. 'Oh no...'
The squid put another tentacle around Miki and screams him tighter. Enough to hold him down and enough to
stop his heart.
Kimu then saw two oddly familiar shaped things and her heart stopped.
Two sharks swam up to Miki and starts to tear him about just like the lions had done to Saionji.
Kimu's eyes widen and she screamed out. "MIKI-CHAN!!!!!!!!" As much as she could through the friction of the
water. She stood there in horror till there was nothing left of her once, beloved Knight.
She felt herself just float back to the top of the water.
"Miki got lucky this time... He actually got to die 2nd." That old familar voice says as his eyes appear in front of
Kimu this time.
She's speechless, but her eyes show anger that could never be expressed in words.
"Tsk... tsk... You couldn't save him again my dear Priestess... " He laughs evily.
She glares hard.
"Well... good luck trying to find me my dearest Shizuku...." He laughs more and disappears.
The waters begin to get rough as all the walls disappears and she's in a big ocean. Then... something heads
towards her... she feels her heart sink...
Yoru swallows hard. "This... this isn't good Juri-sama.... This isn't right...."
Juri has her eyes closed as she walks. "I know Yoru-chan.... but... we must go one for their sacrafice....
t-there's..." Even feels her own throat start to close up, cursing herself for that. "There's no choice...."
Yoru feels a chill run up and down her spine.
After a few minutes they also see the wall color change. It changes into a deep, dark orange.
Yoru notices this. "Jur-"
"Yeah... I know.... " Juri cuts her off... then says more solmnly "....I know....."
A light appears in the distance.
Juri get's a determined look. "Better now than never!" She grabs Yoru's hand and starts running towards the
light.
Yoru panics and cries out. "Juri-sama!! It might be a trap!! We can't do this!!"
Juri calls out to her harshly. "Would you rather die slowly like the last time Yoru!?"
Yoru shuts her mouth right then, but tears fill her eyes. Once they get there. They're on the top of a mountain and
the exit disappears. They get stranged on a very small but high mountain.
Yoru feels her face turn pale. "It's..... so.... high......" She closes her eyes tightly, grasping onto Juri.
Juri sees the height and her heart sinks just a bit too. "What... what is this...?"
All of a sudden a small cracking sound is heard.
Yoru's eyes flash open. "What was that!?"
Then the cracking sound get's louder and rocks start to tummble down. Then, a part of the moutain
crummbles.... taking Juri with it.
Juri screams out. "YORU-CHAN!!"
Yoru sees her fall down the mountain bloodly with all the rock and tears stream down her face. "JURI-SAMA!!!!"
We she can't see her anymore, she falls to her knees. "No.... no...... no....... no...... no.......no......no........no........"
She feels a deep pain rack over her body.
Akio's eyes appear and he smirks. "And that's the end...." His eyes disappear and then the whole mountain
starts to crumble down....
"No..........." Her eyes slowly open and her heart beat stops completely....
"Rei... Come here my Queen...." That familar dark voice calls out.
The sound of high-heeled shoes tapping is heard. "Yes.... my Prince?"
He smirks. "The time has almost come... are you ready now my dear...?"
She pulls back her hair a bit and holds up a plain black box. "Yes my Prince. I am ready when ever you are
ready.... my Prince."
Both of their faces and skin are black.
He grins, seeing the box. "It's a wondering how something as plain as a box can hold something eternal inside.
It truely is a wonder."
She smiles softly, yet very weakly. "Thank you... my Prince."
He holds her chin in his hand gently. "Did I ever tell you... how much more exotic you become when you're
submissive like this...?"
"Yes.... my Prince." Her eyes appear and are completely empty and blank.
He slowly leans down and kisses her.
Everything seems to stop at that moment as they both are seen clearly, with no black or anything.
There are deep slashes across Rei's throat & wrists.
Utena's eyes flash open and she gasps.
Touga looks at her. "What's wrong?"
There is a look of pure terror on her face. "I... just saw.... my mother.... and Lucifer..."
Touga feels his heart jerk. "What?! What are you talking about!? What did you see?!"
Utena shakes her head. "No... it wasn't real." She starts walking forward again... "Come on... it was nothing... it
was just my imagination."
Touga looks at her, but doesn't walk forward. 'It wasn't just her imagination... it was her.... it was Faia." He sighs
and walks after her, already sensing that there is a trap ahead.
Slowly the colors of the walls change to a crimson red... almost looking like spallatered blood.
Utena then sees a light up ahead and stops. "Touga.... I get the feeling... we souldn't go ahead...."
Touga shakes his head and keeps walking. "No... we have to go on...."
Utena panics and catches up with him. "What about all the risks involved though?! What if it's a trap!? What
then, huh!?"
Touga closes her eyes and keeps walking, his sword heavy in his hand. ".... you'd still survive..."
Utena blinks in confusion. "What are you talking about?" She quickly follows after him.
Touga walks still. "You're strong Utena.... stronger than any Priestess or Knight could ever be...."
Utena makes a face slightly. "Is it because of that Princess thing again?"
Touga shakes his head.
Utena get's a sorta surprised look.
They both keep walking, will Touga does the talking. "You're strong as your own being, royal blood or no royal
blood. That's what separates you from the rest of us. You're in a league of your own..."
Utena blinks. "I'm really that powerful?"
Touga nods. "Yes... but the fact that you also have Royal Blood & the copy of the Golden Rose Seal is what
makes you indestructable."
Utena tries to comprehed everything and almost says something until they finally come to the end of the light.
Touga stands perfectly calm and still.
But Utena... her eyes widen and her face turns pale. "This... place..." It the same place where Utena and Dios
first meet. It was on the edge... of Revolution... "What's... what's going on!?"
Touga looks at her and smiles softly. "Thank you... Utena..."
Utena quickly looks at him in confusion.
He closes his eyes. "Thank you... for bringing me back here..." He then slowly steps off the edge and seems to
walk on air as he heads towards what looks to be red glowing area in the middle of darkness.
Utena panics. "Touga! What are you doing?! Come back!!"
Touga looks back at her smiles softly. "Sorry... but... I have to find someway to save Faia... and... this is the only
way I can think of."
Utena's eyes begin to fill with tears for an unexplainable reason. "Touga..."
Touga closes her eyes and starts to walk away again. "Just remember... I'm not Touga... I'm the Knight of Fire"
Utena watches as he disappears into the red arua and everything turns into complete darkness. 'Why... Touga...
why...?'

Chapter 11. Destiny....
=======================================
"Karibi-sama..." A young woman who looks alot like Rei is standing across from what looks to be a King.
He smiles softly. "Faia-ko...." He walks over to her and puts his hands on her shoulder.
She looks up at him, her eyes shimmering. "Is this real...? Or is it only a dream...?"
He puts his hand gently on her face. "It's real... only if you believe it is..."
Her eyes shimmer, tears coming to them. "Karibi... You know I can't believe..."
His closes his eyes. "I know you can't... but... I will try to save you this time my love...."
"Then my dear... I will be waiting... but... please save me if you are alive and well..." She slowly backs away into
darkness. "Because.... I can not fight anymore.... Forgive me... one day..."
He watches her disappear into the darkness. "I will my dear... with all the knights I will my dear... with all the
priestesses I will my dear... and with our daughter I will my dear... I promise you..." He closes his eyes and walks
off into the bright light.
From the far distance Utena sees this, but what makes her mad is that she can not cleary see the King.
"Karibi... that's his name. My mother's name is Faia... and I'm Shu-ko. But I can never see my father cleary...

"Utena, Utena wake up." A warm, deep voice says.

It was Touga. "Touga... what... what's going on?"

Juri walks forward a few paces. "The faster we move the more likely the queen will remain un-harmed."
All but Utena nod their heads.
As they walk through the castle, Utena feels so cold. 'This place... is so cold.... I feel like I'm about to freeze my
ashkins off...'
Touga looks at her. "Cold in here, isn't it?"
Utena looks over to him and nods her head. "Yes... very cold. Why is that so? Is it because of the Negative
Energy?"
"Exactly...." Saionji says with out looking back at her. "There's enough negative energy here to revolutinize the
world...."
Utena perks up. "Really?"
"The far most wrong way..." Shalon says also with out looking back at her.
They then get to a huge circle like hall with different doorways leading somewhere or other.
Juri sighs. "We're not going to get anywhere with this... "
Kimu steps up a bit. "I guess we'll have to split up..." She holds up her hand and in a blaze her sword appears
in her hand and so does her dueling outfit.
Yoru steps up as well, holds up her hand as her own sword appears and a purple dueling outfit with high black
boots appear on her own self.
Shalon steps up then and holds up her hand as a sword also appears in it as she has a dark green version of

Kimu and Miki, Me and Juri, Utena and Touga. If there are no problems with this arrangement then we can head
out."
Miki pairs up with Kimu.
Saionji pairs up with Shalon.
Juri pairs up with Yoru.
Touga pairs up with Utena.
They then all start to go through their own hallways.
Utena stays silent for the first 5 minutes of walking. She then speaks something after that time. "Touga... Do

Touga starts walking again and they don't say a word for the next 10 minutes.
Shalon is walking with Saionji.
Saionji sighs. "This truely is going to take forever..."
Shalon keeps her eyes closed. "Yeah.... but we have to get through this.... somehow..."
They keep walking through the now turning from black to a deep, dark green halls.
Saionji blinks as he notices this. "Shalon... have you noticed... anything... unusal about the halls?"
Shalon looks at the halls as they keep walking. "Yeah... they're turning... green..."
Then they both stop.
Saionji takes out his sword. "This might be a trap... Stay behide me... I'll go first..." He then starts to walk
forward, Shalon very close behide him, looking scared and worried. Saionji thinks to himself 'Something's

Shalon's eyes widen as they get closer to the light. "Is than an exit?!"
They then both start running towards the light and then once they get to the end they both wish they hadn't.
All of a sudden vines strike out of no wear and enwrap Saionji as he is dragged out into the middle of the big
arena covered with many plants. Not pretty ones I might add.
"SAIONJI-SAMA!" She starts to run out him but is stopped by vines holding her back.
"SHALON-CHAN!" He calls out before he is cut off by the wines enwraping him until he looks like he's
mummified in them.
Then... two enormous lions comes out, their eyes glowing red as they look at the vine and throne enwrapped
Saionji.
Shalon's eyes widen and she keeps screaming out for him, tears streaming down her face.
It's then the lions both pounce on him and starts tearing and eating up everything... everything including him...
Shalon closes her eyes tightly and makes a blood curdling scream that could wake up the dead and then make

The lions then back away once there's nothing left but scattered bones and blood.
The vines let her go finally as she collapses.
"Oh... isn't this a familar scene of blood Chi?" A familar dark and evil voice is heard.
Shalon looks up, feeling rage overwhelm her. "LUCIFER!!!" She stands up quickly. "WHERE THE HELL ARE
YOU LUCIFER!?!? GOD DAMNIT SHOW YOURSELF YOU BASTARD-MONSTER!!!"
"hmph...." Lucifer's eyes appear in the air. "Try to get to me in time.... if you can survive it..." He smirks and
disappears.
Shalon's eyes widen as she reappears in a jungle... and her face turns pale......
Kimu's grasp on Miki's arm tightens as they walk down their own hall.
Miki looks at her. "You felt it too... didn't you...?"
Kimu closes her eyes tightly as tears come up to them. "It's Shalon.... something's happened to her... something
bad...."
Miki's eyes waver. "Yes... and something has happened to Saionji as well.... I can feel it. Kimu... we sould stay
on our guard..."
Kimu nods her head slightly as they both walk closerly together.
Miki holds, the Mizu no Sword, their sword, protectively. 'I know what's going to happen... but... I have to figure
out a way for Kimu to survive.'
Just like what happened to the Priestess and Knight of Earth, the color of the walls start to change. They start to
change slowly into a dark, deep blue.
Kimu blinks looks at him. "Miki... what's going on? What's with the color changing walls?"
Miki glances at him. "I think we're about to find out..." He points ahead. "Look... there a light ahead."
Kimu blinks. "Is it a way out of here? Did we find the exit?"
Miki shakes his head as they both start to run towards it. "I'm not sure, but we'll find out soon enough."
Once they get there... it's just a big ocean and both Miki and Kimu fall into it.
Kimu gasps for air and then looks at Miki. "Miki-chan! What on earth is this!?"
Miki looks at her. "I'm not su-" He is cut off by something dragging him under the sea water.
Kimu's eyes widen. "Miki-chan!!" She then dives down after him, seeing him being dragged down by a giant
squid. 'Oh no...'
The squid put another tentacle around Miki and screams him tighter. Enough to hold him down and enough to
stop his heart.
Kimu then saw two oddly familiar shaped things and her heart stopped.
Two sharks swam up to Miki and starts to tear him about just like the lions had done to Saionji.
Kimu's eyes widen and she screamed out. "MIKI-CHAN!!!!!!!!" As much as she could through the friction of the
water. She stood there in horror till there was nothing left of her once, beloved Knight.
She felt herself just float back to the top of the water.
"Miki got lucky this time... He actually got to die 2nd." That old familar voice says as his eyes appear in front of
Kimu this time.
She's speechless, but her eyes show anger that could never be expressed in words.
"Tsk... tsk... You couldn't save him again my dear Priestess... " He laughs evily.
She glares hard.
"Well... good luck trying to find me my dearest Shizuku...." He laughs more and disappears.
The waters begin to get rough as all the walls disappears and she's in a big ocean. Then... something heads
towards her... she feels her heart sink...
Yoru swallows hard. "This... this isn't good Juri-sama.... This isn't right...."
Juri has her eyes closed as she walks. "I know Yoru-chan.... but... we must go one for their sacrafice....
t-there's..." Even feels her own throat start to close up, cursing herself for that. "There's no choice...."
Yoru feels a chill run up and down her spine.
After a few minutes they also see the wall color change. It changes into a deep, dark orange.
Yoru notices this. "Jur-"
"Yeah... I know.... " Juri cuts her off... then says more solmnly "....I know....."
A light appears in the distance.
Juri get's a determined look. "Better now than never!" She grabs Yoru's hand and starts running towards the
light.
Yoru panics and cries out. "Juri-sama!! It might be a trap!! We can't do this!!"
Juri calls out to her harshly. "Would you rather die slowly like the last time Yoru!?"
Yoru shuts her mouth right then, but tears fill her eyes. Once they get there. They're on the top of a mountain and
the exit disappears. They get stranged on a very small but high mountain.
Yoru feels her face turn pale. "It's..... so.... high......" She closes her eyes tightly, grasping onto Juri.
Juri sees the height and her heart sinks just a bit too. "What... what is this...?"
All of a sudden a small cracking sound is heard.
Yoru's eyes flash open. "What was that!?"
Then the cracking sound get's louder and rocks start to tummble down. Then, a part of the moutain
crummbles.... taking Juri with it.
Juri screams out. "YORU-CHAN!!"
Yoru sees her fall down the mountain bloodly with all the rock and tears stream down her face. "JURI-SAMA!!!!"
We she can't see her anymore, she falls to her knees. "No.... no...... no....... no...... no.......no......no........no........"
She feels a deep pain rack over her body.
Akio's eyes appear and he smirks. "And that's the end...." His eyes disappear and then the whole mountain
starts to crumble down....
"No..........." Her eyes slowly open and her heart beat stops completely....
"Rei... Come here my Queen...." That familar dark voice calls out.
The sound of high-heeled shoes tapping is heard. "Yes.... my Prince?"
He smirks. "The time has almost come... are you ready now my dear...?"
She pulls back her hair a bit and holds up a plain black box. "Yes my Prince. I am ready when ever you are
ready.... my Prince."
Both of their faces and skin are black.
He grins, seeing the box. "It's a wondering how something as plain as a box can hold something eternal inside.
It truely is a wonder."
She smiles softly, yet very weakly. "Thank you... my Prince."
He holds her chin in his hand gently. "Did I ever tell you... how much more exotic you become when you're
submissive like this...?"
"Yes.... my Prince." Her eyes appear and are completely empty and blank.
He slowly leans down and kisses her.
Everything seems to stop at that moment as they both are seen clearly, with no black or anything.
There are deep slashes across Rei's throat & wrists.
Utena's eyes flash open and she gasps.
Touga looks at her. "What's wrong?"
There is a look of pure terror on her face. "I... just saw.... my mother.... and Lucifer..."
Touga feels his heart jerk. "What?! What are you talking about!? What did you see?!"
Utena shakes her head. "No... it wasn't real." She starts walking forward again... "Come on... it was nothing... it
was just my imagination."
Touga looks at her, but doesn't walk forward. 'It wasn't just her imagination... it was her.... it was Faia." He sighs
and walks after her, already sensing that there is a trap ahead.
Slowly the colors of the walls change to a crimson red... almost looking like spallatered blood.
Utena then sees a light up ahead and stops. "Touga.... I get the feeling... we souldn't go ahead...."
Touga shakes his head and keeps walking. "No... we have to go on...."
Utena panics and catches up with him. "What about all the risks involved though?! What if it's a trap!? What
then, huh!?"
Touga closes her eyes and keeps walking, his sword heavy in his hand. ".... you'd still survive..."
Utena blinks in confusion. "What are you talking about?" She quickly follows after him.
Touga walks still. "You're strong Utena.... stronger than any Priestess or Knight could ever be...."
Utena makes a face slightly. "Is it because of that Princess thing again?"
Touga shakes his head.
Utena get's a sorta surprised look.
They both keep walking, will Touga does the talking. "You're strong as your own being, royal blood or no royal
blood. That's what separates you from the rest of us. You're in a league of your own..."
Utena blinks. "I'm really that powerful?"
Touga nods. "Yes... but the fact that you also have Royal Blood & the copy of the Golden Rose Seal is what
makes you indestructable."
Utena tries to comprehed everything and almost says something until they finally come to the end of the light.
Touga stands perfectly calm and still.
But Utena... her eyes widen and her face turns pale. "This... place..." It the same place where Utena and Dios
first meet. It was on the edge... of Revolution... "What's... what's going on!?"
Touga looks at her and smiles softly. "Thank you... Utena..."
Utena quickly looks at him in confusion.
He closes his eyes. "Thank you... for bringing me back here..." He then slowly steps off the edge and seems to
walk on air as he heads towards what looks to be red glowing area in the middle of darkness.
Utena panics. "Touga! What are you doing?! Come back!!"
Touga looks back at her smiles softly. "Sorry... but... I have to find someway to save Faia... and... this is the only
way I can think of."
Utena's eyes begin to fill with tears for an unexplainable reason. "Touga..."
Touga closes her eyes and starts to walk away again. "Just remember... I'm not Touga... I'm the Knight of Fire"
Utena watches as he disappears into the red arua and everything turns into complete darkness. 'Why... Touga...
why...?'
