Well, I'm back, and I must say it's great to be back! I got one review! (") (") (") Dance! Ok! I would like to thank ShadowOoR for encouraging me to keep writing. SO I'm now posting Chapter 4! If you need to be reminded, Rob seems to have gone completely insane, but is there something greater behind this? Read, and find out!



Rachael just stood there, unable to find any words. Kireek seemed his normal, calm self, and he took a step forward.

"Rob, What do you think you're doing?" Kireek said coolly, slowly reaching behind him to draw his scythe.

Rob saw this, and his mouth curled into an evil smirk as he replied, "I am the best hunter on Ragol! On Pioneer 2! I am the greatest hunter IN THE UNIVERSE!!"

"You're nothing but a second rate apprentice!" Kireek retorted, drawing his Soul Eater now.

"Kireek! You can't fight him!" Rachael finally spoke, and was surprised to hear herself calling him by his real name.

"Rachael, we don't have any choice.something is controlling him, and the only way to free him from his suffering is to finish him." Kireek replied, glancing behind him at Rachael.

(Inside Rob's mind)

What are they talking about? Kill me? What have I done? This pain in my head. Voices.Who are you!?

I am you.

You're not me! You've turned me into a cold-hearted killer! Let me go!!

I have freed you from your bonds, together we can be the greatest hunter in the universe.that is what you want isn't it?

Not like this.I don't want to kill other hunters.Please stop!!

You have no choice, to choose the path of the greatest means destroying the greatest.

Yes.maybe.you're right.. I want to be the greatest.

I can help you, but the greatest hunter is standing before you, the android.kill him.

Rob twirled his Lavis Cannon, and it began glowing a dark purple. He then screamed aloud to both of them, "I will be the greatest!! You cannot stop me!!"

Rob then sliced his blade, sending a wave of power towards the other two hunters. Kireek and Rachael jumped out of the way, and Kireek ran forward. He clashed his Soul Eater with Rob's blade, and bolts of energy flowed from each of the weapons.

"I never would have thought you would be a slave to someone willingly," Kireek said, pushing Rob back.

"I do this out of my own will! I will be the strongest!!" Rob retorted, and tried pushing back.

Kireek was too strong, however, and he knocked Rob to the ground. He then sliced his scythe across Rob's chest, leaving a large glowing gash. Rob cried out in pain, and backed away. Kireek took a threatening step towards him, but stopped as Rachael screamed his name.

"Kireek! Stop please!" Rachael cried, walking over to the two, and looking down at Rob's face now full of fear.

"Rachael! He will end up killing both of us!!"

"He is my brother!! He will not kill us!"

"His mind has been twisted, why are you so blind to the truth that has been laid before you?!"

As the two continued, Rob heard the voice in his head again.

It seems you need some help.

I can take care of them myself!

Obviously not, let me lend you power.

.Ok..

The two stopped arguing as Rob's body began to be covered in black fog. His eyes flashed red, and he slowly started hovering into the air. His chest wound healed, and dark energy pulsed throughout his entire body. Strange armor appeared all over his body, and the lavis cannon turned into an enormous blade with spikes of energy jutting out everywhere. The blood covering his body vanished, and he slowly floated to his feet.

"No.Falz has taken him." Kireek said, staring at the new transformed Rob.

Rob looked at them, but did not smirk, as he usually would have done. All he did was stare into their eyes with his own penetrating stare.

"Rob." Rachael said, taking a step forwards toward him.

"Stay away from me.I hate you." Rob's voice, a little different in tone sounded from the new transformation's mouth.

Rachael seemed shocked that Rob would hate this, and tears swelled up in her eyes.

"Rachael.don't you see it?! He's not Rob anymore.That is Falz.. and I will destroy him.." Kireek said, and leapt forward with his Soul Eater.

Falz readied the new blade, and the two begin clashing at an amazing speed. Rachael just stood there looking at the ground.

"Rob.no."

After a few minutes of battling, Kireek was slammed to the ground by a large energy wave from the blade. He had many cuts and gashes on him, and sparks were flying everywhere from his body.

"R.R..achel.." Kireek said, extending his hands towards her.

"Kireek!!" Rachael screamed, and ran over. She kneeled beside him, and tears ran down her cheeks.

"Y.ou.mu..s..t..pro.t.e..c..t.Pion..e..e.r.2.Falz can get.on.the ship now that he has.a human.body.stop.him.and don't hold back..goo..d..by.e..." Kireek stammered out, and his body grew limp and the usually glowing yellow eyes he had turned black and lifeless.

Rachael sat there for several minutes, and Falz watched her. She finally stood up and looked to Falz.

"Kireek was not only my master.he was my friend.my companion.one of the few people I could turn to for help!! You are not my brother!! I hate you!! Do you understand me!!! I hate you!!" Rachael screamed, and drew her saber.

Rob stirred around in the back of Falz's mind, but Falz shrugged it off. He twirled his large blade, and smirked.

"Come then little girl! I will make your death slow!!" Falz said, and charged towards her.

She also charged, screaming in rage, and rose her sword into the air.

Rob woke up completely from the sound of her screaming, and Falz was pushed from his body. It was too late though. Rachael had stabbed her saber clean through his heart, and out his back.

The armor on Rob vanished from his body, and his sword turned back to the regular Lavis Cannon. He looked down at the saber piercing his body, and looked at Rachael, obviously confused.

"R..Rachael?" Rob stammered out, tears swelling to his eyes, not understanding why she had stabbed him.

"Rob?! Is that you!?" Rachael screamed, and pulled the sword from his body. She caught him in her arms as he fell to the ground.

"Oh.Rachael.I've.done.something horrible haven't I?" Rob stammered out, blood now coming from his mouth.

"No! No of course not, you haven't done anything wrong! You were being controlled! We will make it Rob!" Rachael said reassuringly.

"It..hurts.so much Rachael.oh God I'm sorry." Rob stammered out, tears flowing down his cheeks.

"I won't lose you Rob! You're not going anywhere!!" Rachael screamed, and began hugging him close to her.

"Lights.. so bright.warm.peace.I.can.go.now.please.don't.. cry.for me." Rob said, and he grew limp, and his eyes half closed.

"Rob! Rob!! ROB!!!" Rachael screamed, and began sobbing and holding him close to her.

She sobbed for several hours, and finally she picked up Rob's body. With great effort she begin digging with her own hands into the floor of the ruins. She set Rob in the hole she had dug, and took off a necklace he had given her. She set it on his chest, and put his hand over it. She then buried him under the dirt, and she picked up her saber, and carved into the metal wall above the hole.

Here lies Rob, one of the greatest hunters ever to exist. My brother, my love, my life, and my happiness came from him.

She did the same to Kireek's body, and wrote above his grave with the saber.

Here lies another great hunter. Kireek was my friend, my master, and my companion. The person that understood me the most.

She sighed, and tears formed in her eyes again as she walked away. The automatic door opened, and it closed behind her. She was never seen again.

Some say she went to fight Falz, and was killed. Some say she still wanders the ruins. All in all, everyone forgot the great thing these three did to help protect Pioneer 2.

Rob, Rachael, and Kireek.names forgotten in time.

The End.
