Chapter Twenty- Seven: Confessions Pt. 1

Meia soared through the darkness, keeping her sights on her new enemy. She felt her fighting instincts renew themselfs, she hadn't felt the excitement of a dog fight in nearly a year. She guided the dread fleet, every so often glancing over at her comrades. She was just about to accelerate forward, but was blinded by a red light. When she regained her sights, she noticed her controls were no longer the standard, run-of-the-mill ones she knew. But the second version of them, the ones that she remembered for when the Nirvana had transformed. Her legs were also in control, this was going to be one hell of a battle.

"Jura, are your controls the same as mine?" she asked.

"Sort of, but I don't remember my dread being black." she exclaimed. Meia realized herself that her dread was no longer the deep silver that she remembered but a pitch black. Taking a closer inspection on her controls, she realized that they too had changed. They were in different places this time around.

"What's going on?" she asked herself. Jura gasped.

"Barnette, Meia. Look at the Nirvana!" she yelled. Meia looked over and gasped herself.

"Where's... what happened?" she said, her eyes weren't deceiving her. The Nirvana was a jet black, purple electricity surrounded it. It looked like the alter ego of the Nirvana that destroyed the harvest mother ship. Unaware to her, something evil stirred under her nose.

Dita opened her eyes, she trembled in fear as she couldn't understand what had just happened. One moment, she was getting the Nirvana's defenses up and the next she was engulfed in a realm of black abyss. She shook her head, she looked down at her body and was expecting to see red strips around her body was instead found black ones going down her arms. Her mouth felt swollen, she lifted her hand and touched her lips. She panicked as she felt one of her teeth overlap her lip. Did it pop out or something? Under closer inspection, she realized that it actually had grown over her lip like those movies she used to watch. The vampire ones. After examining herself, she needed to know about Hibiki. But what she saw was something she'd rather not had the pleasure of witnessing. Hibiki hovered in front of her, his shoulders bobbing up and down hinting that he was breathing profusely. Black electricity surrounded him, rapidly bouncing off the now deep violent chamber walls. She really didn't know if she could approach him considering she felt a different presence around her that she knew wasn't friendly.

"Hibiki? Are... are you alright?" she said placing a hand on his shoulder. Hibiki chuckled, but it wasn't the laugh of his own voice.

"Never better." he said in a hoarse voice. Dita gasped, his voice was being masked over by a much darker one. His eyes were a demonic red, what the hell happened?

"Nirvana Transformation: Complete with minor errors"

Hibiki shrugged off Dita's hand, and settled his gaze at his enemy. He smiled devilishly. The man appeared before him once again, looking rather frustrated.

"I see, that you've mastered some sort of technique. But your fate will still result in your dismay." he hissed. Hibiki didn't get angry by the comment, he was rather amused by it. He chuckled softly, as he smiled a toothy grin.

"That's what you think, but I shall show you the true meaning of fate" he spoke in rapid tone. Dita hovered away from him, she was afraid to do anything. Hibiki extended his arms in front of him, and with a furious push. Launched a rapid series of white missiles, they cut through the emptiness of space, avoiding anything that wasn't its target. They whizzed in a circular formation, until they hit directly into one of the flag ship. The ship was obliterated in an instant. Hibiki smiled menacingly, as his muscles twitched. He never felt so much power in the depths of his hands like this before, and for him to admit he didn't like it would make him a liar. His mind was devoured by greed as his body was taken back by the darkness. He didn't fear anything any longer, he no longer felt the constrictions of human emotion run through him as it once did before. He didn't feel remorse, he felt invincible. With another surge of dark power run through him, he lifted his arms up for a second attack.

"Hibiki, stop! You proved your point already!" she pleaded. Hibiki felt a surge of anger fill his mind, why was she stopping him? He could have killed everyone by now and she has to nerve to stop him? He shrugged his shoulders,

"This one is to prove my REAL existence. I will create a blast so sinister, I will scar the face of the universe forever." he whispered.

The Nirvana glowed a crimson red, afer which began drawing energy around it. Dita soon felt tears well around the brim of her eyes. She didn't want total destruction, she thought she could avoid it completely by being with the one she loved. But as it turned out, even that seemed to have its lower points. As Hibiki began to draw power, she had to think quickly.

"Stop!" she shouted. Hibiki stopped the massive charge and looked menacingly at her.

"What are you talking about? Don't you realize, that it was these people that made you sick? The ones that almost took you away from me? And now, you want me to show them mercy?" he asked with his dark eyes gleaming dully. Dita looked down at her feet, and began to think heavily on his words. What was she doing? Why wasn't she also taking her rage out on those people who tried to kill them? Why didn't she want to kill the person who beat her to near death when she was captured all those years ago? She lifted her head, her emotions ran wild through her brain. She didn't know what to feel, and the only thing that resulted was a steady stream of tears that fell from her cheeks. She tried to find words, but all that came to her was,

"Don't do it. You shouldn't take a life that's not yours to take." she whispered quietly. Hibiki stared at her in deep confusion. Before he could say anything, Dita hovered closer to him. He looked into her eyes and immediately he found a strange aura appear. Her eyes seemed lifeless.

A screen appeared before Dita, the strange man wanted action.

"Ah, so I see that Ms. Liebely has decided to take command of your ship. But lest we forget, I will not take you so likely because you're a women." he hissed between his teeth. Dita looked blankly at the screen as a small smirk spread across her face. She knew what to do.

"Hibiki..." she whispered.

His ears perked up.

"I finally understand now, the reason for all of this." she began. A light began to emit from her, like it was trying to escape after all this time. Hibiki had to shield his eyes,

"So much has happened, and I'm sure this is only the beginning. But without me, I'm sure I can reduce the amount of pain you sustain." she whispered gently. Hibiki didn't know where she was getting at, it sounded like she was going somewhere.

"Hibiki? Do you know the real reason for my illness?"

"No"

"I thought as much. Hibiki, I never had any illness. I never was on the verge of death." she said.

"I faked it"
