Chapter 5

DISCLAIMER: You know already
:::RYU:::
Bosch, why are you doing this? The pain has all but faded now. I can see Bosch smirking at me. I can't speak anymore due to his sword being in my throat. The world was becoming darker now, as I stare towards Nina. I can see her scream but can not hear it.
'What can I do? I want to save her, but I can't even do that now...'
I've failed, that much I can admit, and I hate it! Why did I try to make Bosch understand?
He'd follow Captain Zeno to the grave. I tried to sort things out with him, but it was all in vain.
'Isn't there anything I can do?'
*THUMP*
'What was that?'
The darkness has completely engulfed me. I can see nothing, not even myself.
'Where am I'
*THUMP*
Where does that noise come from? Wait, it sounds like...a heart beat?
*THUMP*
Is it mine? Or is it someone else's
"Hello, is someone there?"
No answer. What's going on? What's happening to me? What is this strange feeling I have? I can feel something pushing against my conscious...Something powerful, but where is it coming from?
"I don't understand!"
*THUMP*
"What do you want?"
*THUMP*
I feel it, something is here.
"Who are you?"
I ask to the darkness, seeing it seem to shift as it told me one thing.
-YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN-
I feel myself falling.
"No, wait! I must live! I must protect her...!"
My mind...its sanity is tearing away. What can I do? How do I get back...
"WHO AM I?!"
:::ODJN::::
-THE TIME HAS COME-
-THE CARDS HAVE BEEN SET-
-YOU ARE NOW TAKING A GAMBLE-
-CHOOSE WISELY, RYU-
-THERE WILL BE A COST FOR SAVING HER, IF THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT-
-BY CHOOSING TO SAVE HER, YOU WILL CHANGE THE WORLD-
-ARE YOU READY, MY LITTLE FRIEND? TO REACH FOR THE SKY?-
The young boy now stood before me, his head cast down low. I awaited his answer.
What would he choose to do? The boy now looked up to me with eyes as clear as the sky of ancient times.
"I want to save her."
-SO BE IT. YOU NOW HOLD MY POWER.-
I awoke, for the first time in a thousand years. I stared at the man named Bosch as he attacked me. But it was ultimately in vain. I struck him hard across the face, knocking him unconscious. The other two fell in much the same way. I then stared at Nina and Lin as they stood a few steps back.
-RYU, YOU HAVE MADE YOUR CHOICE...CALL FOR ME IF YOU NEED TO-
I left the resurrected Ryu behind to be tended to by his two companions, looking forward to seeing the sky once more...
END
Note: I forgot that Odjn also appeared, so I decided to add his short POV. Well, see you.
