Chapter16.Goodbye Father!
All the members of the Stn were preparing for the final battle,and were enjoying themselves at their maximum before the battle.Some knew that this would be their end,and so,they were trying to enjoy a few more hours on this world,before they would die.As for Mara,she was more scared than usual,although she didn't show it.Amon felt this,and tried his best to reassure her,and tell her that everything will be fine.But she knew that everything will not be fine.
"Mara,do you want to go to the park?"Amon asked.
Mara nodded,and grabbed her scooter.
As he was driving towards the park,he tried to start a conversation that will make her forget about the upcoming battle.
"So Mara,how's school?"he asked.
"Why'd you ask?"she eyed him.
'''What's wrong with him,asking about school all of a sudden?'''she thought.
"Fine,why?"she asked,suspiciously.
"Oh,nothing.Just asking.So,how's the guy?"he asked,with a slight grin.
Mara's eyes widened for a second.He can't possibly know about Jin.
"What guy?"she demanded.
"The one you were talking to the other day.You know,brown hair,grey eyes.You had a fever that day."he added,waiting to see her reaction.She remained as calm as possible.
"Oh.That guy.He's Ok.And for your knowledge,his name is Jin,and he's my best friend.He's just like me."she said.
"I see.A Craft User.So,are you sure he's just your best friend?"he inquired with a slight smile.
Mara blushed.How could he think that?But she couldn't deny it.She loved him,but she never knew whether he loved her as she loved him.
"He's just a friend.Nothing more."she replied.
"Come on.Cheer up.I don't mind if you love him.All I want is for you to be careful.There are many people in this world that take advantage of your kindness,so be careful."he said,warmly.
"I already know that.Oh,and can you stop playing the over protective father?Cuz it doesn't suit you."she said.
He laughed.
"Hahaha.Really?Crap.I thought you'd never find me out.Too late for that."he grinned.
Mara couldn't help but laugh.
"Thanks dad.You're tha best.I love you."she said.
"Me too kiddo.Me too."he said.
Robin was still Maya's prisoner.She had no way of escaping,as Maya was lingering above her 24/7.
"My dear Robin,I advice you not to even try to escape,because it won't be you who suffers,but it'll be your sweet daughter and lover.I never expected you to go and have an illegitimate child.A bastard."Maya mocked.
"Shut up!I warn you that if you insult Mara,you'll regret it."Robin snapped.
"Really?And what'll you do?Burn me alive?Don't make me laugh.You don't even have the force to escape,but how about killing me?Hahaha!"she laughed,bitterly.
Robin concentrated on her,and finally was able to shoot some flames at Maya,burning her arm.
"Aaaagh!You...!"she yelled in fury.
"You were saying?"Robin glared.
"Fine.If that's what you want,then I'll serve you.I hope you enjoy the show."Maya yelled,and exited.
'''Gods...Help me...Amon...Mara.'''Robin thought.
Meanwhile,at the park.
Amon felt again that weird sensation he felt earlier.As if something was being ripped away from his heart.
'''What the heck does this mean?Robin...Hang on..'''he thought.
Mara noticed Amon's sudden change,and also saw that his face expression changed into a worried one.
'''Is it possible that he can feel mother's suffrances and calls?If it's true,then that means that...But why now?Why would such a bond form now,at the very end.It's weird.'''she thought,and felt a presence in front of her.She slowly looked to that direction,and saw a huge energy ball coming her way.
"Huh?"she said surprised.
"Mara!Out of the way!"Amon jumped over her,and pushed her aside.She fell roling on the ground.
"Daaad!"she yelled in tears.
"Don't worry."he said,and extended his right arm in front of the energy ball that was coming at ultra speed.
Mara was shocked as the ball exploded over Amon.
"DAAAAD!NOOO!"she cried.
The smoke spread,and soon,she could see a dim shilloutte standing there.She adjusted her blurry sight better,and noiced that this shillouette was awfully familiar,and it was coming towards her.She got up,and slowly,her eyes lit up.
"Dad?Daddy!"she yelled,and jumped into his arms,hugging him tight.
"There,there Mara.Stop crying.Only weak kids cry.And you aren't weak."he smiled.
"But...I was so...hic...scared...hic...I thought I'd never...hic...sniff...see you again...and...hic...I...sniff...finally...hic...found you...after 14 years of living...sniff...hic...away from you...I don't...want to lose...you...too...hic."she cried.
He kneeled down,rubbing away her tears.
"Mara you silly little child.You won't lose me.Whoever said that is a jerk."he chuckled.
"Da...dd...y.."she said,hugging him tightly.More tightly than before.He patted her back.
"Come on kiddo.Stop crying.What would your mother say?Do you want people to laugh at you?There,there."he carresed her charcoal hair.
Through blurry emerald eyes,she looked at him.
"Daddy...I love you.Promise me that you won't leave me or mommy,after we find her...and ..and that we'll be a true family."she requested.
"I promise.Here,pinky promise."he said,and extended out his pinky finger.She looked at it,then at him smiling,and grabbed his pinky finger with her small one.
"Pinky promise."she nodded,rubbing away some tears.
"Now there's a good girl."he said.
"Dad,will you keep your promise?"she asked.
"What promise?"he asked confused.
"That we'll spend Christmas with Toko.Tomorrow is Christmas Eve."she said.
"Oh, that.Of course I will.Did I ever promise you something that I never did."he added.
"No."she said.
"Ok.Now let's go."he said,and got up.As he got up,Mara felt again that presence,and saw another energy ball coming,more bigger than before.
Mara got in front of Amon,and created an invisible ice shield,that dissipated the attack when it hit it.
"Grrrr.Why don't you come out Maya?Or are you scared of a 13 year old?"Mara mocked her.
"Why you insolent little brat!I'm not scared of you.It's just that I have a surprise for you."she said.
"Then come and show me."Mara added.
Maya then appeared from behind a tree,but in Robin's appearance.
"Robin!"Amon said,and wanted to go to her,but Mara stopped him..
"Stop.She's Maya,dad.Why don't you show us your true face?"Mara inquiered.
"Mwahahahahahaha!You really are a clever girl."Maya grinned,and took her real form.Her hair was short and black,and had penetrating,icy,amethyst eyes.Her lips were of a deep crimson,colour of blood,and she wore a red scarf on her neck,and a black leather jacket,with black boots,and brown pants.She was smiling stupidly.
"So,that's the true Maya."Amon said.
Mara was silent.So was Maya.Both were staring at each other,with deadly glares.
Mara noticed movement behind the trees.
"Why don't you tell your helpers to come out of the shadows?"Mara asked.
"You little rascal!You'll regret ever sttting foot between my paws."Maya hissed,and clapped her hands.Her helpers came out.They were about 20.
"Well,little Mara,today you have audience.Bring her over!"Maya yelled,and one of the men threw a woman to Maya.Her hair was messy,and falling all over her face,and was wearng a black pilgrims dress,that once had been long.Amon and Mara stared amazed.When the woman looked up,Amon was shocked.Clear,emerald eyes met his grey,lifeless eyes.Robin.
"Robin!Robin!"he yelled,and wanted to go to her,when Maya spoke.
"Nah ah.If I was you,I wouldn't do that.Look at her right side."Maya said.
Amon looked,and saw a man holding a sharp knife at Robin.
"Yes.One small move from either of you,and your precious Robin would be dead.The kife isn't just any knife.It's a special knife,that will suck out all her life energy once it's plunged in,and she'll die slowly,in torturing pain and agony.Hahahahaha!"she laughed maniacally.
Mara was disgusted.
"You make me sick.You bitch!"Mara said,placing her right foot in front of her.
"Tsk,tsk,Mara.Do you want to see her dead?After 10 years of being separated from her?"Maya mocked.
Amon clenched his fists.He sent an urgent message to Karasuma through his mind.
Karasuma..Karasuma,can you hear me?Come quickly,and bring all the help you can.We're at Jynjuku park.Maya has Robin here!Quick.
Karasuma heard Amon and answerd him back.
Ok,I'm on my wasy.Hang on.
That was it.None moved.
"So,what're you gonna do?I think some entertainment wouldn't bother.Go guys.Kill them."Maya said.
All the men hurried towards Mara and Amon,who were ready for battle.
"Haah!"Mara yelled,and backflipped,and in her way,dislocated a man's jaw with her leg.He fell on the floor.
Amon ducked a punch,and popped a neck,and another corpse fell dead on the ground.Mara was fighting with a tougher one.He blocked all her attacks,so she extended her arm,and created an ice razor that when she hit it at him,the earth was cut in half,and he was cut in half too.
"Good job."Amon said.
"Thanks,but leave the remarks for later.Hah!"she tripped another man,hit him behind the neck hardly,and left him K.O.
Maya was angry.
"Yah!Hah!"Amon got on his hand,and with his left leg hit a man on his face,breaking his nose.The man lost balance,and fell K.O. on the ground.Mara was fighting with one,so she didn't notice one coming from behind her.
"Mara!Behind you!"Amon yelled.
"Huh?"she turned,but the blow never came,as somebody hit him on the head,and he fell on the ground.
"Michael!"Mara said.
"Yup,it's me!Thought you'd not see me on.let's teach them a lesson."Michael said.
Mara nodded,and got up.
Karasuma hit a man,leaving him unconscious,who was giving problems to Amon.
"Thanks."he said.
"You're welcome.You know,I wish you would've fought like this for me,like you are doing for Robin."she said,hurt in her eyes.
"Karasuma...I never..."he stopped.
"It's alright.Now isn't the time.We must get Robin away from on."she said,and entered the fighting.
Dojima and Sakaki were fighting together,so were Mara and Michael,so he paired up with Karasuma.Soon,all her helpers were dead,or well,unconscious.
"Well Maya,what've you got to say now?No one's here to protect your pretty face."Mara yelled.
"Hmph.See you later,you brat."Maya said,and disappeared with Robin.
"Quickly!Follow her!To your cars!"Amon yelled.
They all went to their cars.
They drove at ultraspeed.
"Michael!Track her down!"Amon yelled through the earpiece.
"I am!She's on the highway to outside Tokyo!"he said.
"Great.Hold on Mara."he said,as he drove faster.
Soon,they all reached an abandoned warehouse,like the one in Amon's message.
"We're here."Mara said,as she looked at the old warehouse.Soon,the others arrived too,and examined the area better.
"Ok.We're here.Listen,I want you all to know that I'm really greatful that you are here now,with me.You've been a great team.I swear.And it was nice working with you.If we die,I want you to know that I love you all.You've been,and always will be my family."Amon said.
Dojima was sniffing,and Sakaki was comforting her.
"Yeah.I'll miss you too Dojima.And Sakaki.You too Michael,although at some time I was jealous of you since Robin was paying more attention to you."he said,grabbing the hacker'sshoulder.
"Thanks man.You're a great leader.Besides,Robin always preffered you over me.She told me that everyday."Michael said.
"I'm glad."he said,and turned to Karasuma.
"I'm sorry.Maybe in another world..we could've been.But you were a great partner.You'll always be."he said.
"Thanks."she said,and kissed him on the lips.
He was surprised.
"I-"he stopped,as she placed two fingers on his lips.
"Good luck Amon."she said slowly.
He nodded and turned to Mara.
"Ready?"he asked.
She nodded.As they were getting closer to the warehouse,a wind started blowing,and making their way harder to pass to the other side.They protected themselves with their hands.Not later,Maya appeared.
"Hahahaha!My,I'm impressed to see you've come this far.But don't get any ideas,because if you want to get to the other side,you must pass over me."she mocked.
"I agree.Let's end it Maya!"Mara yelled,stepping front.
Maya was surprised.
"Mmm.You've got guts little one.But you aren't twice my strength."Maya said.
Mara sneered at her.
Amon came next to her.
"Mara,I won't let you fight alone."he said.
"Dad,please.Trust me."she said.
"No.I don't want to lose you."Amon added.
"You won't lose me.Please dad."she insisted.
Maya looked at Mara.
"Hmmm.Since you are brave,and made it all the way her,let's try to make a deal.You must fight me alone.And if anyone comes between us,they die.And that includes your father."Maya said.
Mara clenched her fists tightly,and proudly raised her head.
"I agree."Mara replied.
All were shocked,especially Amon.
"Mara,you can't possibly mean-"he stopped.
She smiled a sad smile at him,and he knew the answer.
"That's pure suicide!Sweet Jesus,have you gone crazy"he yelled.
Mara didn't reply.
"Mara,there are conditions."Maya said.
"What're they?"she asked.
Amon was trying to reason her,but in vain.She wasn't hearing him.
"If you win,I'll let you take Robin,and go away unharmed,I promise.But if I win-"she stopped a minute.
"Whar?If you win what?"Mara asked.
"If I win,you shall take your mother's place,and be my little pet for eternity."Maya grinned.
All the people present,including Amon were shocked.
Mara hesitated to answer.She was silent for a minute.
Soon,she opened her mouth.
"I..."she trailed.
"Yes?"Maya addeed.
"Mara,please."Amon pleaded.
She closed her eyes,swallowed,and replied.
"I agree."she ended,determined.
"No...Mara.."Amon said,in a grief and shock state.
Mara stepped forward towards Maya,but glanced one last look at her father,and the Stn crew,that have been so nice to her.
"Sakaki,Dojima,you were great.Please stop fighting with eachother,and get together.You know you really look great together."she smiled.
"We...We do?"Dojima blushed.
"Yes.And I hope to see your child when I come back.Thanks for everything,and sorry for the trouble I caused you."she said.
Sakaki held Dojima from collapsing.
"Mara..."Sakaki said.
Mara then turned to Michael.
"Mikey,you were my best friend.I'll miss blackmailing you.Don't forget me,please.I love you."she smiled,a sad smile.
"Mara."Michael's eyes were shining with tears.
She talked to Karasuma next.
"Karasuma,you too have been great.I'll miss you too.And sorry for causing you trouble.I love you."she said,a silent tear falling down her cheek.
"Oh Mara.."Karasuma sighed.
Last,she turned to Amon.
"Dad,you've been great.The time I spent with you was wonderful,the best of my life.I'll miss you.Please don't forget me.Never,ever."she said,and went on,"I love you.And Karasuma,take care of dad and make sure he doesn't get himself into trouble."she ended.
"I will.Hic...Don't worry"she rubbed away a tear.
"Good.Now I'm reassured.He's in good hands.Goodbye everybody."she said,and ran towards Maya.Before she disappeared,she stopped one more time,and looked at a shocked Amon.
"Goodbye...Father!"she said,and ran into the darkness,as the silent tears fell down her cheeks,and into the chilly winter air.
