Intermezzo
Nakoruru (cheering): Woohoo! I made it to the final chapter at last! I am so happy!
Kai (leaning against wall): Yes, after so tiresome months, this story finally ends. So everything boils down to this chapter eh?
Nakoruru: Yep. So, let's go and get this starter.
Kai: And what about the reviewers?
Nakoruru (looking around): Most of my reviewers seemed to have died. . .again. Jeez, they're getting like my nii-chan. Thank you though Black Angel for your insight on the story. I'd like to say on the Mystics behalf that if I spent another 3 more pages on them having that Shinji complex, I would have probably left them. They. . .or at least one of them are necessary for the ending of this story, so I couldn't do it. Gomen it seems so short. I'm running out of on hand titles. Now on to the last chappie!
Kai (rolling his eyes): You forgot the most important mention. Remember the marks.
Nakoruru (slapping forehead): Oh yeah! Anything within "~ ~" marks are not spoken out loud, but mentally. Now on with the chapter!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So you're going to join our cause after all?" Tyson looked at the four individuals, who quietly nodded. "So where's your enthusiasm about rescuing her?" Tyson turned to Tohru and frowned. "You should show more fire about saving her, she is your sister after all, right?"
"That is true Tyson, but you must also realize something," Tohru said.
"Huh? What?" Tyson blinked blankly.
"We are still trapped in this room. The doors have been fortified against breakage. The only way we're likely to get out of here, is if one of the guards lets us out," Tohru remarked.
"Well, we'll make them open the door," Tyson said, going over to the door and banging on it. "Hey, you out there! I know you can hear me, let us out of here! We have important things we need to do, like save this world from your mad boss! Hey, do you want to die? Let us out of here so we can save the world! Hey, are you listening to me out there! Heellllloooooo!"
"Tyson, that won't work. What makes you think they're going to just open the door for us?" Kai crossed his arms over his chest. "They are paid to do their job. And one of those things right now is to detain us from interfering."
Tyson stopped banging on the door and looked at Kai with a deep frown. "Then how do you expect to get us out of here?"
Kai turned to look at the Mystics. "Exactly what kind of abilities do you have?"
"Well, Katsy can enhance any psychics abilities and give extra support to us. She has a touch of precognition. The ability to see things that happened in the past when she touches things. Sakura picks feelings from others, can speak with Tohru through mental thoughts, and can see the future in her dreams. Cody has the ability to read a person's thoughts and know exactly what they're thinking. I can make others feel any sort of emotion I want, and can make out any hidden object or action without seeing it. Tohru can speak with Sakura through thoughts also, and can move any object with his mind," Ash replied.
"Then shouldn't he be able to push open that door?" Max inquired.
"Good thinking Max," Kai said. "And while he's doing that, Katsy can give him extra support. Cody can find out what's happening through the guards' thoughts. And you, Ash, can see if you can keep them at a calm so we catch them off guard."
"That sounds like a plan. Okay guys, let's get to work." Ash turned to look at his teammates. The three individuals nodded at their leader and went to work with their assigned tasks. Tohru stood in front of the door, his eyes focused on it solely. Katsy stood behind him holding out one hand with her eyes closed. Cody stood in place with his eyes closed, the same as Ash.
"The guards have no clue what's going on. They are interested to find out what plans Mr. Landstren have. Some of them are uncertain about what he's doing. They hope it's all over soon so they can be relieved from duty," informed Cody "One of them heard it was suppose to be some sort of experiment with. . .with animals or something."
"How's it coming with the door?" Kai questioned Tohru.
"I've managed to bend the frame from around wall. Give me another two minutes and it'll break completely," Tohru said. "Think you can keep them from noticing long enough, Ash?"
"No problem, they won't know what's happening," Ash remarked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mr. Landstren looked up on the platform that his niece was strapped to. At the moment all of the bit beast capsules were being brought up to this floor. This was the top floor of the corporation. This place would be where he rose to becoming of godly status. He had waited so many years for this day. Since he had first laid eyes on his young niece, he had a strong feeling that she would help him attain his goals.
Mr. Landstren walked up on the platform and touched his niece's head in a gesture of affection. "Sakura, the stage is almost set. It's time for you to wake up."
The girl's eyes fluttered open, looking at her uncle. "What do you plan on doing with me?"
"Ah, you, my dear little niece are to be a door way to the destruction of this world. Since the time you were very, very young, I have known that you would be the one. That's why I had to get rid of your parents." A malefic smile rose to his lips. Sakura's eyes widened at what he was saying. Mr. Landstren caught her expression and nodded. "Yes, Sakura. I caused your parents accident."
"You monster!" cried the girl. "How could you?"
"Now, now, now. There's no need to call me such names. After all, I was the one who raised you all these years to become my instrument of divine power. You see your parents would not have died if they had just handed you over without trouble. They knew how special you were to me, and they wanted to keep you from me. So what choice did I have in the matter? Your brother was an extra gift. I had no use for him at the moment until I found he too possessed psychic abilities." Mr. Landstren took out the remote for the berserker system and held it up. "No, it's time that you obeyed my commands."
Mr. Landstren cranked the button up to ninety percent rather than one hundred percent and pressed the button. Sakura screamed as she was overloaded with energy. Her eyes turned a dark crimson color as the whole floored seemed to shake. The capsules that contained the bit beasts shattered one by one as Sakura called them to her aid. Mr. Landstren stepped down off the platform as the bit beast spirits circled around her one by one.
"The time is at hand." The sky begun to turn a bright red as Sakura snapped the restraints from her hands and legs. The ground under them continued to shake, threatening to split in half.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What the heck is going on?" Tyson held onto the banister as the group of teens headed up to the top floor of the corporation. They had managed to break out and catch the guards off guard. Once they had dispensed of them, they headed to where Tohru was sensing not only Sakura, but also the power of the bit beasts, and the berserker system. All of the Mystics fought off the effect of the system for Sakura's sake, as they continued up the long flights of stairs.
"Don't stop, keep going!" shouted Kai.
"How much farther up are we going?" Ray inquired to Tohru. The young man with red hair was breathing heavily as he continued to fight the berserker system's power. Ray wondered how long could they resist the effects of it.
"Just another flight. . .we're almost. . ." Tohru shook his head, his eyes hazing some from the long mental struggle. After a minute, he came back to reality. "We're almost there."
"Are you and the others going to be alright?"
"Yeah, we're fine. We've never fought it before. We've always given in to it before. I've never realized how strong a person my sister was to fight the effects of it," Tohru smiled. "I'm going to fight this for her sake." Ray smiled as they continued up the stairs.
When they reached the top floor, their mouths gaped open at what they saw. Standing in the middle of the floor was Sakura. But that's not what had them gaping. Around her flew the bit beasts. Mr. Landstren stood not to far from where she stood surrounded by bit beasts. The Bladebreakers saw her raise her hands to the sky, which was darkening into a blood red color. Several bright lights shot from the sky, and surrounded her.
"What's going on?" Tyson gaped. "Are she calling bit beasts to her? Is that possible?"
"Actually, it's very possible, Bladebreaker." Mr. Landstren turned to look at them. "My hats off to you and escaping, with my Mystics no less. You boys truly are remarkable, but I'm afraid you're too late to save this world. Sakura's now calling all the bit beasts together in order to start about the destruction of this world."
"What are you doing to her?" snapped Kai.
"Nothing. This is her own hidden power she's using. I just kicked it into start for her. You see Sakura was born with one of the rarest abilities ever. She's able to channel the direct psychic or spiritual energy of anything and use it to her will. It doesn't matter what it is. That's what's stopped me from control her for so long. But my scientist made a serum that allows her to tap into the direct power of her ability. And because of her empathy she can channel greater strength from the bit beasts! It's time to begin Sakura. Your first job as my arch angel is to destroy the blade breakers!"
Sakura said nothing as she turned her attention to the Bladebreakers and her teammates. Her dark red tinged eyes seemed to see nothing as she rose her hand to them. "Trygle. . .Windaria. . .Dranzer. . ."
The three bit beasts she called flew inside her body. From her raised hand came a powerful wind and fire attack that the group and to dodge out the way of. The groups separate to not make themselves one big target. Tyson tried to attack her from the side, but a large gust of wind blew him back. Looking up, he found Dragoon going into her body. She turned her head to look at him. In front of him, an attack close to the phantom hurricane appeared.
"Tyson get out of there!" shouted Max.
"I don't think I can move!" yelled Tyson. Just as he was about to be swallowed by the attack, he felt himself being pushed out the way. Looking up, he found Kai. "Dude, just in time."
"Watch it, seems she not only can absorb our bits but also mimic their attacks once she's absorbed them," Kai said as he dodged another attack headed for them. Tyson moved, but was caught in the leg by the attack. He yelped but saw it was only a nick. "I told you to watch out."
"Yeah, I see that," moaned Tyson. "So how do we stop her?"
"I have no idea," Kai shook his head. Then a thought hit him. He turned to where Tohru was saving Cody from a mimic attack of one of the other bit beasts. "Maybe he can stop her. Tohru!" The young man looked at Kai with a questioning look. "You're her brother, you should be able to reach her. You share a bond, right, use that!"
"What if she doesn't respond?" Tohru looked at where his sister stood, every emotion seemingly stripped from her.
"You have a much better chance than the rest of us at reaching her! You said you wanted to save her, now's your chance to!" Kai wondered if the male was going to do it.
"I'll give it a try." Tohru looked down at Cody who looked at him with some fear. Tohru smiled, then turned his attention at his sister. He begun walking forward to her, trying to find a piece of her that was still his sister. ~Sakura, can you hear me? Wake up, Sakura.~
"Do you think she will hear you, Tohru! She can hear nothing but the anger of the bit beasts that want revenge! She shall do as she's told by both them and me!" Mr. Landstren cranked up the system to ninety-two percent. "Now kill Tohru!"
Sakura rose her hand to him, creating a barrage of flame arrows. Many of the attacks cut Tohru, but he continued to walk towards his sister. If he gave up now, he could never forgive himself for not only letting down everyone here, but the entire world, his sister and their parents. ~Sakura. . .you have to wake up, please. You can't let our uncle do this. You never wanted to do this, I could always tell. Come on wake up. We can leave and go far away and start over. You want that don't you?~
"Will he be able to do it?" asked Max, as all attacks were directed towards Tohru. Ray held his breath. He could see how much pain the male was in, but he would not give up. The pain of losing his sister was worse than this all together. "Can he continue to go on like this?"
"For his sister, he will," Ray murmured.
Tohru reached his sister, drawing her into his arms. He fought back his screams as the power within her body begun tearing into him. He looked down at her. ~Sakura, I know you're scared. But I'm here now. I will protect you now, from everything. Let's go home to mother and father now.~
~Toh. . .ru. . .I want to go. . .I wanna go home.~ Tohru felt her arms tighten around him. ~I want to go home. I want to go home. I want to go home. I want to go home.~
"It's okay. We can go home now." The dark aura around Sakura faded as she looked up at her brother with tearful eyes. He stroked her hair. "We can go. . ."
"Tohru!" She felt his body slump and goes limp. She slumped to the floor with her brother's bloody body in her arms. "Tohru! Tohru! Wake up Tohru! Wake up! Don't leave me! No. . .Tohru. . ." Sakura looked at her uncle with tearful eyes, then the Bladebreakers. "Leave here."
"What? What do you plan on doing?" Kai questioned.
She gave him a light smile, as she looked at him, then her teammates. They seemed to understand and nodded. "We are going to end this. My team and me. I understand what my dream means. This is our rebirth, the destruction of this company and its owner, so this may never happen again. Thank you for showing us what strength was. You must leave now. And don't worry, all the bit beasts shall return to their owners once this is done."
"But. . ." started Max. The Mystics shook their heads.
"We have to. Don't worry, the only regret we have is that we learned that we had someone to turn to all the time. Now go," Ash said. "This is the only way."
The Bladebreakers were hesitant to leave, but a heavy tremor seemed to send them tumbling out the door. A wall of rubble collapsed in front of the door, making the Bladebreakers unable to get back in. The building around them begun to collapse, and though they didn't want to, the Bladebreakers were made to leave. From the outside, they watched as the building crumbled around them. The sky returned to normal, and many lights shot across the sky afterwards.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* * *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next couple of days were filled with reports of Landstren Corporation falling due to a massive earthquake. Its owner was inside at the time and was killed, along with its entire staff. The strange part of the report was five individuals leaving the site after the earthquake was over and many bright lights that streaked across the sky that night.
Kenny ran into the room with a newspaper in his hand. A look of shock was across his face. The Bladebreakers looked at him with a questioning stare. "Guys, I think you should hear this one."
"Not another article. Why can't they just leave it alone?" Tyson muttered. Since that night, he couldn't get his thoughts off what the Mystics had done. There had to have been an easy way to stop him, than killing themselves.
"I think you should hear this one!" Kenny exclaimed.
"What does it say Chief?" Ray said.
"Well, here it goes. From the many pulled from the crumbled building, were Mr. Landstren, head of the Landstren Corporation, many guards, scientist, and other staff members. Sakura and Tohru Landstren as for the three other children seen usually accompanying Mr. Landstren on his trips seem to have not been in the corporation at the time of the building's collapse. They have not been found for comments on Mr. Landstren's death," Kenny said, then looked up at his friends.
Each one of their mouths hung open. How was it possible that. . . Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a letter slipped under the door. Running over to the door, Tyson pulled it open but saw no one. Picking up the letter he opened it, bringing it back over to them.
"What's it say, Tyson?"
"It says. . .to the Bladebreakers. Thank you for everything you've done for us. It seems that your bit beasts saved us in the end. Our resurrection will not be wasted. We're going to start over and become better individuals and make a path for ourselves. Our paths will cross again some time in the future, that I have foreseen without the use of my powers. Then we can have a rematch, the right way. Your bit beasts also saved my brother thank them for me. Until we meet again, Bladebreakers. Sakura."
The Bladebreakers looked at each other than smiled. They would have to train harder than ever now to be ready for them. They were sure that the Mystics would be a whole lot better once they saw them again.

Nakoruru (singing T.M Revolution)
Kai: As you can see, she's happy for the ending of this one.
Tyson: Is there going to be a sequel or something?
Max: That rematch would be pretty awesome.
Ray: Yeah.
Nakoruru (stops singing): Okay, yeah. But thanks for everyone sticking with this one. Review and tell me how you like the ending! Now it's time for some Di Gi Charat music! (plays Happy! Smile! Hello!)
The Bladebreakers (O_O;;)
Nakoruru: Let's get down everyone!!!!!
Nakoruru (cheering): Woohoo! I made it to the final chapter at last! I am so happy!
Kai (leaning against wall): Yes, after so tiresome months, this story finally ends. So everything boils down to this chapter eh?
Nakoruru: Yep. So, let's go and get this starter.
Kai: And what about the reviewers?
Nakoruru (looking around): Most of my reviewers seemed to have died. . .again. Jeez, they're getting like my nii-chan. Thank you though Black Angel for your insight on the story. I'd like to say on the Mystics behalf that if I spent another 3 more pages on them having that Shinji complex, I would have probably left them. They. . .or at least one of them are necessary for the ending of this story, so I couldn't do it. Gomen it seems so short. I'm running out of on hand titles. Now on to the last chappie!
Kai (rolling his eyes): You forgot the most important mention. Remember the marks.
Nakoruru (slapping forehead): Oh yeah! Anything within "~ ~" marks are not spoken out loud, but mentally. Now on with the chapter!

"How's it coming with the door?" Kai questioned Tohru.
"I've managed to bend the frame from around wall. Give me another two minutes and it'll break completely," Tohru said. "Think you can keep them from noticing long enough, Ash?"
"No problem, they won't know what's happening," Ash remarked.

Mr. Landstren took out the remote for the berserker system and held it up. "No, it's time that you obeyed my commands."
Mr. Landstren cranked the button up to ninety percent rather than one hundred percent and pressed the button. Sakura screamed as she was overloaded with energy.

"It's okay. We can go home now." The dark aura around Sakura faded as she looked up at her brother with tearful eyes. He stroked her hair. "We can go. . ."
"Tohru!" She felt his body slump and goes limp. She slumped to the floor with her brother's bloody body in her arms. "Tohru! Tohru! Wake up Tohru! Wake up! Don't leave me! No. . .Tohru. . ." Sakura looked at her uncle with tearful eyes, then the Bladebreakers. "Leave here."

The building around them begun to collapse, and though they didn't want to, the Bladebreakers were made to leave. From the outside, they watched as the building crumbled around them. The sky returned to normal, and many lights shot across the sky afterwards.

The next couple of days were filled with reports of Landstren Corporation falling due to a massive earthquake. Its owner was inside at the time and was killed, along with its entire staff. The strange part of the report was five individuals leaving the site after the earthquake was over and many bright lights that streaked across the sky that night.
Kenny ran into the room with a newspaper in his hand. A look of shock was across his face. The Bladebreakers looked at him with a questioning stare. "Guys, I think you should hear this one."
"Not another article. Why can't they just leave it alone?" Tyson muttered. Since that night, he couldn't get his thoughts off what the Mystics had done. There had to have been an easy way to stop him, than killing themselves.
"I think you should hear this one!" Kenny exclaimed.
"What does it say Chief?" Ray said.
"Well, here it goes. From the many pulled from the crumbled building, were Mr. Landstren, head of the Landstren Corporation, many guards, scientist, and other staff members. Sakura and Tohru Landstren as for the three other children seen usually accompanying Mr. Landstren on his trips seem to have not been in the corporation at the time of the building's collapse. They have not been found for comments on Mr. Landstren's death," Kenny said, then looked up at his friends.
Each one of their mouths hung open. How was it possible that. . . Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a letter slipped under the door. Running over to the door, Tyson pulled it open but saw no one. Picking up the letter he opened it, bringing it back over to them.
"What's it say, Tyson?"
"It says. . .to the Bladebreakers. Thank you for everything you've done for us. It seems that your bit beasts saved us in the end. Our resurrection will not be wasted. We're going to start over and become better individuals and make a path for ourselves. Our paths will cross again some time in the future, that I have foreseen without the use of my powers. Then we can have a rematch, the right way. Your bit beasts also saved my brother thank them for me. Until we meet again, Bladebreakers. Sakura."
The Bladebreakers looked at each other than smiled. They would have to train harder than ever now to be ready for them. They were sure that the Mystics would be a whole lot better once they saw them again.
