Canon 38

Sora and Makoto were slowly making their way towards the basement when Sora suddenly collapsed to the ground. Makoto was quick enough to respond, grabbing him with her one arm as Sora looked at her and bit his lip. "Sorry about that… I lost my balance at that moment." Sora apologized as Makoto shook her head. "You're still recovering from that fight. Even if the masked freak healed us, it wasn't much by the looks of it." Makoto said as she slowly eased him to her shoulder.

"Let me carry you for a bit. Just so you can recover your strength." Makoto suggested as Sora felt reluctant to do so, seeing her struggling to do so as she was clearly trying to adapt to her new life. "I'm… I'm sorry about...the arm." Sora said as Makoto was surprised to hear that as she thought about why Sora would say something like that until it clicked in her head. "Are you implying that the decision for us to split up was mainly your fault and if we didn't I wouldn't have lost my arm?" Makoto said as Sora looked away reluctantly.

"It's not your fault Sora. You can't blame yourself for things that are out of your control. So what if you could have been with me. At least you were there to save me at the end of the day. We don't have control over what is supposed to happen but what we can do is control the things we can do so." Makoto said, hoping her words would calm Sora down as he reluctantly nodded his head. "Look Sora… I understand that you feel guilty about splitting up… but we made that choice together. We both have to live with it." Makoto said, surprising Sora as she held his hand.

"So don't hold this against yourself...for whatever we both decide to do together. We make the decision together, we live with the consequences together." Makoto said, finally giving some relief to Sora as he nodded his head at that. "I guess I can sort of live with that… Doesn't make what I could have done not much less painful but… yeah you're right, we both should accept the decisions that we make together rather than suffer from the what if possibilities." Sora said, making Makoto smile as she held his hand tighter.

"Then we are in this together and thus we should support each other as much as we can." Makoto said as Sora smiled and nodded, allowing her to continue carrying him but he made sure to put in some of his own weight so she didn't have to go dragging him around all over the place as Makoto looked ahead and saw the elevator that they needed to take. "You think you are ready for what awaits us when we arrive at the cauldron?" Makoto questioned as Sora thought about it before simply shaking his head.

"I am not ready for anything… But we have come this far. It would wrong of us to step away from what happens next no matter how hurt we are." Sora said, Makoto chuckling at his honesty as she pressed the button to summon the elevator. "At least it's refreshing to hear your honesty for once. God knows how I understood what I have had to deal with what is going on lately." Makoto confessed as the Elevator soon arrived..

Signifying to the two that the path they had chosen had arrived.

Amy had her eyes closed. She was waiting for her moment. Her fingers felt cold as she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes staring at the giant door that was in front of her. "Are you ready to do your task Amy?" A voice questioned as Amy kept quiet before nodding her head. "You seem hesitant… is something the matter?" The voice continued as Amy knew she might as well just say it as there was no use simply remaining quiet.

"I just don't feel right… Doing this..." Amy continued as she simply waited for the voice's response. "You understand why we need him… Right? If we wish to achieve the timeline we want." The voice continued as Amy nodded her head. "It's just… it feels wrong… to interfere with one's life so blatantly just to get what we want." Amy replied as she fiddled a little bit at the place she was standing, waiting for the voice to respond back as she knew this had to be done. She didn't like it but she needed to do it.

"Amy… You understand that to maintain the flow of time is very difficult. If often means making sacrifices that are required." The voice said as Amy wanted to say something back but held back her tongue as she silently nodded her head. "Then you must do what must be done. The Error must fulfill his purpose now. We can focus on clearing up the remnants of his existence afterwards." the voice concluded as at that moment a blonde haired figure wearing a blue dress floated beside her.

"Are you ready to do your duty Amy?" the girl questioned as Amy looked at the girl with a sad smile. "I don't think I will ever be ready Es… But I have to for this… As much as I hate this." Amy confessed as Es tilted her head. "Have you by any chance formed a connection with the Error?" Es questioned as Amy felt reluctant to respond to that question. She allowed herself to become silent for a moment before she gave her answer.

"I...I was entrusted to gain his trust… allow him to get close to the gate… and now I am the person responsible for erasing his existence… How am I not supposed to have form a connection with Sora throughout the process?" Amy said as Es quietly nodded her head. "Would you like for me to take your place then?" Es questioned as Amy remained quiet hearing the suggestion as she could have allowed Es to do it for her, make the pain she was about to inflict less painful as she shook her head.

"No.. I must do this… I… I started this.. I need to see through...as one the guardians of the Master unit." Amy said as she walked towards her destination, Es simply staring her quietly as she turned her head back towards the door. "Should I follow her?" Es questioned, asking clearly the voice that laid behind the door. "No… we must respect her decision. Even if we should intervene." The voice said as Es simply nodded her head. "Then I shall remain here and guard the door as I normally would." Es said as she proceeded to do that.

Simply fulfilling her goal as a guardian of the Azure.

The Elevator ride down to the cauldron was both filled with boredom and anxiety. While they had to admit there were anxious about what they were going to witness the moment they arrive underground, The wait it took to get there was simply unbearable. The pain the two felt was the only thing keeping them conscious from just falling asleep as Sora and Makoto looked at each other, wondering what they should talk about.

Should they focus on keeping the current topic as serious as possible or should they try to speak about something much lighter, something that doesn't involve the last few days of craziness that had unfolded in front of the two. Sora looked at Makoto, stroking her hair as he looked at her missing arm as he noticed her holding onto the arm that Relius had given her. "If I can be honest… You should probably ditch that arm… it probably has been bugged by Relius with some sort of tracking technology." Sora said bluntly as Makoto looked at him before looking right back at the arm.

"I...I agree but… Sora I need to ask you something about the masked freak." Makoto said as Sora simply remained quiet and nodded his head, that being Makoto's cue to ask him whatever was on her mind as she took a deep breath. "How...How do you know about Relius so well… I want to know everything." Makoto questioned as Sora immediately fell quiet as he wondered how he should word it.

"Ahhh….Relius Clover… he's...a complicated history." Sora said as Makoto became quiet hearing that as she remembered the first time she saw Sora look right at Relius Clover, a sense of tension that was present between the two as she still could remember the rainy night that happened just yesterday, the memory still very fresh in her mind as Sora scratched his head, wondering where to begin with his history with the man responsible for ruining everything.

"Well… It's a complicated history… but I mostly know about him through when I was young...I guess." Sora confessed as he scratched his head, already knowing his words were confusing Makoto already. "All I know was that for the longest time, he was experimenting things on me… used me for things that I can still remember but I don't want to talk about." Sora continued as Makoto nodded her head.

"Did...Did he do anything wrong to you? Or… your big sister?" Makoto said as Sora remained quiet at the mention of his big sister. "All I remember was that he experimented on both me and Alice a lot… separately most of the time. Whenever she was done I would be next and that often ended up with me more bruised up than her." Sora explained as Makoto felt slightly guilty for making Sora say those words.

"It's alright Makoto. I was going to eventually tell you all of this. In fact, I am slowly trying to force myself to remember things… things that I purposely kept locked in due to the trauma associated with them. When this is all over, I will find the time and courage to tell you about them." Sora continued as Makoto smiled hearing that as she held his hand. "I...I'm glad you say that Sora. I guess even an idiot like you can learn some new things." Makoto continued as Sora smiled.

"I guess… it's mostly because this idiot found it within himself to start trusting people again… even if it's one person." Sora said as Makoto blushed hearing that, knowing that it was directed towards her as she looked away to hide her blush. "I guess… I have something to be proud off, being the woman who helped shaped a man back to a more sociable side." Makoto said, fanning herself a bit as Sora chuckled a bit at her blush.

"Say… When we finish all of this… Why don't we stay together and try to figure out what on Earth is happening." Sora suggested as Makoto looked at him surprised by his offer. "I have been spending the past few years on my own, trying to build up.. discover myself… and while I am comfortable with that, the current mess we are in is just too big for me alone to handle. At least if I have you around.. I would feel more comfortable..."

Before Sora could finish his sentence, Makoto immediately lunged in and kissed Sora right at the lips, causing Sora's eyes to raise as he closed his eyes and accepted her kiss. It was brief but it was all the answer Makoto needed to give to ensure Sora that he had the right idea in mind. "I don't mind teaming up with you… I don't want to involve Noellie in all of this and...And I need to make sure I figure out what on Earth is happening with Tsubaki too and what the NOL has been feeding her." Makoto said as Sora raised his eyebrow at that.

"I guess there's some things I will need to explain… But I will get to them in time." Makoto said as Sora nodded his head as he continued to look at the arm Relius had given her. "So… Are you going to toss that arm away or..." Sora questioned as Makoto herself wondered what she was going to do with it as she scratched her head with the arm. "At least it makes a good head scratcher." Makoto said as a bit of a joke as Sora couldn't help but smirk a little hearing that as Makoto decided to be a bit serious.

"I will pass the arm to Professor Kokonoe. Maybe she can reverse engineer and figure out what kind of tech the arm has. Maybe she can make me an arm similar to this so I don't have to worry about the whole tracking thing." Makoto suggested as Sora continued to look at the arm. "Just why does he suddenly have to have an interest in you all of the sudden?.." Sora mumbled as Makoto touched her chest, feeling where she thought her soul would be as she shook her head.

"Regardless of all of that, I promise not to use it… No matter what." Makoto said as Sora looked at her before scratching his head. "Look...I am not saying you shouldn't use it… but if you need to… Just promise me you don't depend on it. At the end of the day… the masked freak is just trying to use you for his own goals." Sora said, knowing very well he didn't need to baby Makoto but at the same time Makoto understood that he was simply expressing his worries to her.

"I promise Sora." Makoto simply said as the Elevator finally allowed them to see what the basement was like as Sora looked ahead, surprised by what he was looking at. "So this is where the Cauldron lies in… inside a damn cave." Sora said as Makoto herself had managed to see what the entrance of a cauldron looked before but it was all in an abandoned NOL base. "Well… We are at just at the entrance." Makoto said, causing Sora to be surprised as he had underestimated the size of the cauldrons, having had no real reason to head to a cauldron in the first place.

"I guess when you put it that way… But still, don't you think it's creepy that whatever these cauldrons are underneath the Hierarchical cities? Doesn't that just mean that if something bad happens to the cauldron, it will cause damage to the hierarchical city themselves?" Sora said as Makoto didn't think about it but he suddenly brought up a very good point. "Now that you say it like that… the whole reason why Akitsu-Ko right now is going through a whole crisis with it's weather system was because Ragna the Bloodedge destroyed the cauldron." Makoto said as her mind began to wonder what kind of worst case scenario would happen if every single cauldron in the world was destroyed like what had happened with the 9th Hierarchical City.

"In any case… that's not important right now, We got to go and help out Noel." Sora said as the elevator finally stopped, allowing the two to exit as Sora tried to hastily leave only to fall down on his ass again, his injuries having not miraculously recovered from the elevator ride as Makoto laughed a bit as she helped him out. "Geez, at least remember your body is injured before you go rushing like that." Makoto teased as Sora blushed a bit. "Shut up. The conversation was so nice that I forgot I was injured in the first place." Sora grumbled as the two began to drag each other towards the entrance, ready to see what awaited them at the cauldron.

What was going to happen in the cauldron in front of them? Were they going to have to face off against Noel despite being heavily injured? Will there even be any backup to help them through their current predicament? Should they run if they are truly outmatched at that point? The two of them looked at each other, wondering what should be their move in this case and how they should be acting when the action starts going down.

"Right… Only one way to find out." Sora said as he placed his hand on the door as Makoto lifted her hand off supporting Sora and placed her hand on his, the both of them putting in their combined weight to push the massive door together as while normally they would be able to do so alone, their injuries were still persistent and remaining, thus their strength had been weakened in the process as the massive door creaked, making noise in the process.

What was going to be the sight that was going to greet them? Was it going to be Noel Vermillion, waiting for them like some final boss menacingly? Or maybe they were going to stumble into what was going to be a massive fight for the sake of the world where everything was going to be put on the line? Or maybe even nothing at all and they would be the first people to step into Kagutsuchi's cauldron that they are aware of.

Whatever they had thought was going to be the sight… was none of that as they were greeted to a completely different scene than what they had expected. It wasn't what they had expected as a group of people had formed a circle. They didn't understand what was happening since they were far away from the sight as they slowly approached the scene, their senses completely in the alert since they don't even know what was going on at this point. Somehow, the somber sight in front of them was even more confusing than what their minds could have thought of at that moment.

They wondered if they should have opened the door in the first place as they contemplated trying to close the gigantic door in front of them instead of seeing what they were seeing. That however was taken away from them when the heads in the room slowly turned and looked to see their direction, the loud creaking of the door already grabbing their attention before they could run and hide. They just had to walk into the mess that they had stumbled into as they both dragged each other towards the scene.

The first person that immediately caught their eyes was Rachel Alucard, wearing her gothic lolita dress but looking slightly less worse for wear. The next person was Jin Kisaragi, his body slightly bruised from what appeared to be him fighting as he held onto Yukianesa shakily on his hand, having been injured slightly. The last person they could see was someone they did not expect to see, a legend of the Dark War, The white swordsman Hakumen whose title came from the primarily white and black he wore.

But white armor was not the only thing Hakumen had. He wore a white mask that fully obscured any facial features he had that had horns coming from the side of his mask. His long silver hair was matched with his armor with the only color that was not black or white was the red sheath containing his weapon attached to his back was too long to be a normal katana, more like a japanese version of a claymore as Sora himself swallowed some saliva, knowing how serious the current situation they were in was if the mysterious white swordsman of the dark war himself was here.

"Makoto?.. IS...is that you?" a voice cried out as this alarmed both Sora and Makoto as the group of people slowly moved to the side to allow them to see Noel Vermillion. Not the emotionless shell that Sora had seen beforehand and wearing the same clothes that she wore when she had turned to that emotionless shell, not that Makoto would know since she didn't see Noel change into said outfit and was surprised to see Noel wear such bold clothing.

Before Makoto could say a word, Sora raised his hand to stop her as he needed to make sure about something. "Noel Vermillion. Is that you?" Sora questioned as Noel looked at Sora, raising her eyebrows as she was confused by Sora's appearance. "Makoto.. who is that? Is that your friend?" Noel questioned as Sora took a deep breath as while he was still not happy about his current circumstance, his nod helped reassured Makoto that the Noel Vermillion in front of them was the real deal and not whatever Sora had suspected she was.

"Y-Yeah! he's my frie…" before Makoto could finish her sentence, Sora immediately caught her as she tried to walk towards Noel to reassure her that she was safe. Noel immediately raised her head as she was soon able to see the missing arm Makoto had. This immediately made Noel start to bawl as Makoto looked at her missing arm as she knew what Noel was seeing. "Noellie… please… There's no need to worry about… I...am alive at least."

"But...BUT!" Noel mumbled as this prompted both Sora and Makoto to get closer to Noel to try and reassure her that things would be alright. As soon as they got closer, the two of them gasped at what they were looking at. On the ground was Ragna the Bloodedge, who too was missing an arm and looked like he had been through hell as Rachel was the one tending to his injuries. The other person they saw had their face on Noel's lap as Makoto and Sora quickly rushed to her to see the other person.

The person on Noel's lap turned their head to directly look at Makoto and Sora, their pale face was the first thing they were able to see as they immediately knew who that person was. "HUNTER!" Makoto screamed as she immediately got off Sora, collapsing in front of the wounded Hunter and Noel as she quickly crawled towards them as Sora stood back to keep watching, his mind was simply processing what he was looking at as he just stood there in shock.

Hunter looked worse for wear, his body clearly overexerted from the usage of Draco as he was missing both of his legs and arm, left with only his robotic arm as even his hair was slightly singed, allowing both Makoto and Sora to see that he was missing an eye. That would have been bad enough if it wasn't for the fact that he also had holes where a normal human body shouldn't be. It was even a miracle that Hunter was able to move his body, let alone look at Makoto as he weakly stared at her.

"Ahhh….Ma...Koto…. That you?" Hunter questioned as Makoto herself was simply in shock over what she was looking. "H-Hunter!? W-What happened!? Don't talk you're injured right now!" Makoto questioned, her mind racing with several questions as she didn't know what was actually happening as her hand reflexively reached out and placed itself on the hole on his chest, knowing very well that it would do nothing since the hole was clearly massive.

"It's...Alright...I...am just glad….you're...alright." Hunter mumbled before coughing harder, spraying blood all over her hand as this alarmed Noel to hug him tighter. "Please! Please stop talking Hunter!" Noel begged as she hugged him tightly in her arms, the shock clearly present on her face. "What the fuck is actually happening here." Sora muttered as while he understood that there were things he wouldn't understand when he got down here… there were way more questions to the answers he had hoped to gain when came down here.

How on Earth did Hunter get down here when Sora last saw him falling down what was essentially a dead drop? How long does Hunter have before he officially expires. And why can't he do anything to help him, at least ease the pain that was agonizing his friend at the moment. 'If...If we don't get help for him right now… he's going to..' Sora thought as Hunter weakly raised his hand towards Noel's cheek, wiping away some tears that were coming out of her face as he softly smiled.

"It's… It's alright Noellie… I...I was prepared for this." Hunter said as Noel took his hand, clutching onto it tightly as her eyes began to let down a stream that struck his face. "No.. This is still not right!.." Noel said as she desperately shook her head, denying the fact that Hunter, her boyfriend was dying as Makoto herself couldn't help but start crying as well. "I'm.. I'm so sorry Hunter… I… I didn't protect Noellie and this all happened… It's all my fault." Makoto said as Hunter looked at Makoto with a sadness in his eyes as he shook his head.

"Don't blame...yourself for anything… All you need to do… is just...keep on living..." Hunter said as he looked towards the sky, his vision starting to blur as Sora stepped forward, allowing Sora to look at him as Hunter tilted his head towards him. "H-Hey… Look...I know… we didn't start on the best of footing… but… I at least now know… You're not that bad of a guy." Hunter said as Sora bit his lip as Sora clenched his fit.

"Can… Can you promise me… When I go… you would...take care of Noel for me." The moment Hunter said those words, Sora couldn't help but snap a bit as he grabbed Hunter from the ground and looked at him in the eyes. "H-How can you say stuff like that! You know very well you have got to live dammit!" Sora shouted as Noel was about to force Sora to let go of Hunter but Makoto placed a hand on her, pointing to Sora's eyes as they could see the tears that were coming out of him as the rest continued to watch on, some in shock and some in intrigue.

Hunter: You...know you are making an unreasonable request to a man who's at death's door.

Sora: I am not making an unreasonable request. You have to keep on fighting otherwise what is the point of living!?

Hunter: Living huh… maybe… that's why I am at peace with this.

Sora: W-What…

Hunter:...I've grown tired over the years… I just want to sleep. As long as the people I love, I care about are safe… I think I can.. live with that.

Sora: But… But that's just bullshit. You being alright with dying doesn't change the fact that you are hurting everyone else in the process you idiot!..

"Maybe...You are right about that...But...I can already tell… that...this is my time." Hunter muttered as Sora got down to his knees, his emotions starting to get out of hand as Hunter looked away from him. "I guess… maybe I did know you before… it's strange really… I don't know you but… you… you seem so familiar." Hunter said as Sora slowly let go, pressing his hands to his face as Hunter turned his attention back towards Noel as she could feel his arm become heavy in hers.

"Noel...I...I love you." Hunter said as Noel, Makoto and Sora witness him suddenly go limp, his hand slipping out of Noel's hand and dropping to the ground as the three stared at him in shock, struggling to register what they had just seen. "H...H...Hunter?" Noel shakily said as she reached over to touch his neck, suddenly feeling a chill hit her fingers. The moment she felt such a chill, a surge of emotions suddenly came over her as Noel began to choke up, struggling to stop herself from crying as Makoto could see her friend's struggle.

"N-N-Noel!.." Makoto said as the two friends looked at each other, their emotions soon taking over them fully as they desperately hugged each other, letting their tears flow out of their eyes as Sora continued to stare at the sight that was in front of him, his mind struggling to register what he was bearing witness to as was this what he was called to see by Amy? Asked to come to the cauldron of Kagutsuchi just to witness his friend die in front of him due to something as simple as him begging for him not to kill his girlfriend.

"Bullshit..." Sora muttered, slowly stepping away from the body as the others began to take notice of his action while Noel and Makoto continued to grieve. Sora struggled to make sense to what he was looking at. Was this what he was called to? To witness one of his friends die in front of him while not even knowing who he was? "That's bullshit." Sora muttered louder as Ragna strutted himself towards Sora, sensing that he was under some sort of pain.

"Hey… What's the matter?" Ragna asked, slowly raising his hand towards Sora as before he could touch Sora, Sora immediately slapped the hand away as he shook his head in denial. "I don't get it… What the hell … What the hell are you trying to play Amy!?.." Sora said as he looked at the cauldron itself and walked towards it. His emotions began to swim deep inside as before Ragna could move ahead, Hakumen of all people suddenly got in his way.

"Get out of the way you bastard. You're in the way." Ragna said as Hakumen remained silent to what Ragna had said as he continued to focus his attention right to Sora. "You… the other white haired man… step away from the cauldron." Hakumen said, his hand slowly drifting towards his massive blade, alarming the others as Makoto and Noel noticed the warning that Hakumen had given Sora. Sora himself was not aware how close he was approaching the Cauldron as he turned around to face the Six hero as while he would normally show some sort of respect to the man for what he did, for some reason, his heart did not feel like giving him that respect at the moment.

"Come on Amy! I know you are hearing me right now! So just cut out all of this secrecy and explain yourself to me. Right now!" Sora said as Hakumen raised his head interested in Sora's choice of words. This prompted him to try and raise his hand on the blade, ready to attack should Sora try something foolish with the Cauldron. Sora meanwhile felt tortured by his current situation as he couldn't help but stomp his foot on the ground angrily.

"AMY! WHERE ARE YOU!" Sora shouted, finally attracting the attention of everyone in the room as Makoto raised her head, able to see the mixed range of emotions that were present on his face as the room began to shake, as the room trembled, she noticed Hakumen ready to draw his sword as she shakily stood up and stood in between Hakumen and Sora through her instincts as Hakumen looked at her with a gaze that Makoto couldn't see through his mask.

"Makoto!?" Noel said in surprise as time felt like it began to slow down in front of Sora as a voice began to ring in his mind. "Did you call for me Sora?.." Amy said as Sora looked around, unaware of the paused time as Rachel herself was the other person in the area who was aware of what was happening. "This phenomenon… I see… So it is time..." Rachel muttered as Sora looked around for a bit before realizing what was happening himself.

"Do not worry, time itself is just coming to a halt for the time being. After all, this timeline is approaching it's end." Amy explained as the Cauldron opened itself to Sora's prompting him to step back a bit as the cauldron's bright light began to shine all throughout the area, forcing him to shield his eyes as Amy emerged from the cauldron, Rachel being used to the light that comes from the cauldron standing by the side, making sure she stood by the side as she quietly observed what was going on.

"Timeline? Approaching it's end? The hell you are talking about!?" Sora said as Amy soon made herself appear in front of him as Amy didn't look at him directly, causing Sora to feel his blood freeze as this told him that Amy knew something and had purposely kept things dark for him not to know. "So...You knew about Hunter's death too? Is that why you ask me to come down here? So I can him die in front of my eyes!?" Sora said as Rachel walked over to Makoto Nanaya as she had seemed to be frozen as well by the timeline as Rachel simply touched her to suddenly cause her to blink as she noticed everyone around her except, Sora and Rachel were frozen and now in front of her eyes a mysterious woman had now appeared.

Before she could say another word, Rachel quietly pressed her finger on her lips, quieting her. "Sit here and watch quietly, this is something you must see my spunky squirrel." Rachel said as Sora walked towards Amy. "Come on! Just tell me already!" Sora demanded, about to place a hand on Amy before she suddenly grabbed his wrist, causing his eyes to widen a bit at her action as she took a deep breath.

"I… I wish there was an easier way to tell you but… I just figured it was easier to show you rather than tell." Amy explained as Sora did not notice the pain expression that was on her face as Amy took a deep breath. "Regardless.. as one of the guardians of the master unit, I must fulfill the duty and ensure that you fulfill your role...Error." Amy said as her eyes glowed, blinding the people present in the room as Sora closed his eyes, feeling the strain come over him as unknown to him…

He and Makoto were going to be shown a truth that the world was never meant to know…

GREETINGS LOST SHEEP OF FANFICTION! HOW IS EVERYONE DOING!? I know this chapter appears to be much shorter than the last few ones and you all may be wondering, why is that? Well if I can simply put it, I am a person who values writing a chapter on the flow. I don't exactly go this chapter needs a specific amount of words. I write until I feel like that flow is nicely ended. And to me this chapter was going to be a much shorter chapter since we have been having quite the big number of chapters lately. Some smaller and easily digestible chapters are needed and should be sprinkled between big ass chapters to avoid making people feel stressed. It's just my personal writing style and you should find a way that works for you.

Speaking of personal styles, how is everyone doing these days? I hope you all aren't finding the story becoming very ummm… Blazblue? I mean the main game story has always been confusing and while it is very difficult to write fanfiction around that kind of story, it's also got it's sort of satisfaction as well. I promise the next chapter will help clear up some things for you guys and I hope that my story has been able to give you guys something to keep your mind off things that may be happening all around the world.

SO WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT TO SORA!? WHERE IS HE HEADING TO ALONG WITH MAKOTO AND RACHEL AND WHAT IS AMY'S PLAN FOR HIM!? WILL THE ROLE THAT WAS GIVEN TO HIM BE FINALLY EXPLAINED AS THEY HEAD TOWARDS THEIR TRUE DESTINATION AND WHY DID IT INVOLVE WITNESSING HUNTER'S DEATH!? Well… these questions and more will be answered soon and stay tuned for more details.
