Forever War
Chapter 3: Dark Side
Umi had heard the story about Penelope Sapphire. It just had something special in it that left a very deep mark in Umi. That she could never forget what Wisdom told her. She now knew that Miss Winters must have been very upset over Penelope.
Monday Morning,
The Slayers had tried to save Felicia but… none of them came back alive. Umi knew that she had to fight Impossible again. For Benjamin, he hadn't woken up yet.
Umi asked for permission to go to the city with Kitty. She went to the bridge, hoping to find Impossible there.
" I think let's go back. He's not here." Kitty told her. Umi didn't know where to go. Felicia was still with Impossible.
" Sir, are you going out?" Trowa asked, Impossible put on his black windbreaker. " Yes, I have to see Benjamin." He told them. " For what purpose, Impossible?" Trowa asked. Impossible didn't reply. He left his room.
Impossible shapeshift to a doctor in the Slayer's Hospital. He walked to where Benjamin was. He looked around before entering. He locked the door, closed all the curtains with a snap. He then transformed back to himself. He took off his hat. He stared at Benjamin. Who was sleeping on a bed, still no awake yet. Impossible pulled out a chair and sat down.
" Looks like you won't be able to save you loved one then. If not, why are you still stuck on this bed, in this room? For Generations, I never realized that the Soul Crushers had became weaker. Looks like I have to trash the sleep for 1000 years idea." Impossible told Benjamin. Benjamin didn't respond. Impossible spinned his hat in midair, using his mind to control it to spin. " Time always flies. I do not wish to lock Felicia up forever. So wake up." Impossible told Benjamin.
" I hope we can get some clues from Benjamin." Umi told Kitty. Kitty frowned. " But, I don't see how." Kitty told Umi. They were walking towards Benjamin's ward. The door was locked, the curtains were all closed. Umi and Kitty exchanged glances. They pulled out their gun and waited. Umi tried to hear something.
" Benjamin, I remembered that Daniel Hunter really liked you. Felt that you were the best person to take over his place. But, you betrayed him, over love, over a Slayer, Felicia. Oil never mixes with water. Tell me why I must forgive you and free Felicia." Impossible told him. He put on his hat and lowered it so that it hid his eyes. " Tell me then." He whispered. Benjamin didn't respond. Impossible heard gunshots at the door. He shapeshift.
Umi and Kitty held their guns, to see Angel Matthew standing next to Benjamin's bed. " Why did you lock the door?" Umi asked. " Just wanted to talk privately with Benjamin here." Matthew told them and smiled. " What about the curtains?" Kitty asked. " Well, I just wanted privacy." Matthew told them. Umi still looked like she didn't believe. Just then,
" Girls, why are you standing at the door way holding guns?" Someone asked. The girls turned to see Angel Matthew. They all stared at the Angel Matthew inside. " Okay, what's going on here?" Angel Matthew asked. The Matthew inside sighed. " Show yourself." Umi ordered. Matthew smiled and then shapeshifted. He became Impossible.
" What are you doing here?" Umi asked. Impossible looked at Benjamin. " Just paying Ben here a visit." Impossible told them. " A long time no see, Impossible." Matthew told him. " There's one thing I am not sure, how come you are Impossible when you don't have wings?" Matthew asked.
" I only use them when needed to." Impossible told them. Then, he vanished. Benjamin's hand moved. " Felicia…" Benjamin whispered. Then, he woke up. " Benjamin!" Kitty told them. Umi went to get the doctors.
They all concluded that Benjamin was fully healed and well. He was asking Umi to let him go and find Felicia. They were trying to reframe him from doing so. " We won't be able to find him. We don't even know his base." Clow Reed told them. He wanted Benjamin to rest for 1 more day first.
Tuesday Morning,
Umi opened the door to Benjamin's room, he wasn't on the bed. There was a big hole in the glass windows. Benjamin had escaped. Umi went to inform Clow Reed. He must be up to something.
Benjamin walked to the grass field. Away from many people. He stood in the center of the grass field. He casted a shield to keep others outside. He closed his eyes. " Let my love be where she's supposed to be. Free her and bring her back to me." He chanted over and over again. As he chanted, light formed and was forming patterns on the grass. " Free her!" He shouted, the whole pattern glowed and exploded. The explosion was so great that it threw Benjamin away, he hit his own shield. When the smoke cleared, there was no one, nothing. It didn't work. Damn it, why it didn't work? He went over to the same spot again.
Charmaine was checking her guns, Umi sighed, Clow Reed wanted her and Charmaine to find Benjamin. Anyone but her. Umi just couldn't stand her. " Let's go this way." Charmaine ordered Umi. Umi rolled her eyes but followed Charmaine. They will never find him this way.
" Heaven, may you hear my plead. Show me the right way, good or evil shall I be. Let me know!" Benjamin chanted. Clouds above gave up a white light and they were glowing. Benjamin floated in the air. He closed his eyes. The whole world was like spinning and it kept on spinning before him. He then opened his eyes. His whole eye became Diamond in colour. White light came out from the ground and shot out into the sky. A ray of light shot down like lightning and struck Benjamin in his head.
Umi and Charmaine stood their ground as a huge explosion coming from the top of the mountain spread to them. Umi blew the smoke away. There was white light there. " It's Ben!" Umi told Charmaine. " I know that, it's obvious." She commented. Umi ignored what she said and raced there first.
Benjamin opened his eyes, he was in an area, all filled with ice. The ice was like crystals, shining, glittering and crystal clear. So was the floor. He could see his reflection everywhere. He walked on, there was a fountain. There was clear water flowing through it. 10 water rays shot out from 10 different places. He frowned and walked on, the water wet him, and they were icy cold. He saw a door, it was painted white. And was glowing. It had pattern of wings on it. Benjamin opened the door. To see another empty room with only ice and nothing else. There was this ray of whit light shining down on a shining chair that was white and it was floating in midair. There was no one. But the light shining down on it made it look like it was only meant for someone special. Like an Angel or something.
There was a blast of blinding white light, he shield himself with his arms, so that he won't be blinded. When it finally cleared, there was someone sitting on the chair. It was a man, he was wearing a long sleeved, buttoned and collared white shirt with a pair of white long pants. The top two buttons of his shirt was unbuttoned. He was also wearing a white windbreaker. He was wearing white boots. He stared at Benjamin. Benjamin met him before. He knew who this person was. It was none other than Impossible.
" What are you doing here?" Benjamin barked. Impossible crossed his legs. He leaned back and regarded him. " You called for help. I am here, to help." Impossible told Benjamin. Benjamin tried to fire an attack, bur it didn't work. " All powers are banned here. It's the Angel's Wisdom Castle. The ice is all here to make it look grand and it shows the Angels' story." Impossible told Benjamin. " I didn't know you helped with Angel's Work." Benjamin commented. Impossible didn't reply.
He stood up in mid air. He was holding onto a cane, a white one. He was playing with it. Holding onto it with his right and using it to hit his left hand gently. Benjamin frowned. Then, the cane suddenly became longer and it hit the ice, right behind Benjamin. Shattering all of them into pieces of small gems. He threw the cane away. " I am getting out of here." Benjamin told him. " You can't, you can only leave if you have found your answer." He told him. " I won't be able to find it with you around me." Benjamin commented. " Why don't tell me with your problem and we will start there." Impossible told him. Benjamin sat down on an ice chair. Impossible sat down on his chair and drank tea.
" I don't know if I should be a spy and help out the Slayers or go back and be a slave." Benjamin told Impossible. " You are afraid that I will kill Felicia if you still continue to stay good. Why don't I test you. And then you can decide which side to be on." Impossible told Benjamin.
" What test?" Benjamin asked. " It's simple. I will release Felicia. You will have to join me for the time being. Help me kill the Slayers. If not, I will kill Felicia. The time set for this is 4 days. You cannot ask for help from the Slayers. And, you must not tell anyone about this test. After these 4 days, you will decide and I promise you, no matter what you choose, I won't do anything." Impossible told him. " If you don't do what you are told, you will be punished." Impossible told him. " What if I say no to this test?" Benjamin asked. " You will still be stuck, by being back on the bad side, maybe you can see some things you didn't see when you were good." Impossible told him. " By the chime of the clock tower, the test will start." Impossible told him. " No wait!" Benjamin shouted but he was being sucked inside a portal and he couldn't see anything anymore.
He woke up to see himself lying on the same exact spot he was before. Umi and Charmaine were running towards him. " Are you okay?" Umi asked. Benjamin's head hurts. " I am fine." He assured them. He got up. " Don't run away again. You bring a lot of trouble do you know that?" Charmaine asked. Benjamin didn't reply, Umi rolled her eyes. Benjamin looked up to see a clock tower, it was 5 minutes to Nine O'clock. No, this can't be happening. " Is something wrong, Ben?" Umi asked. Benjamin looked around. Where was Felicia?
Felicia was thrown through a portal and she landed on the grass. She knew that this was part of the park near their base. She then saw Umi, Charmaine and Benjamin standing on top of the mountain. She was free at last! She ran over to them.
" Hey Guys!" Umi turned to see Felicia running towards them. She hugged Benjamin first. " I missed you." She told him. " Did they do anything to you?" Benjamin asked. Felicia shook her head. " Come one, let's go back." Felicia told them. Umi frowned. " Why will they set you free so easily?" Umi asked. Felicia shrugged. "But it doesn't matter now. Because, I am here, with you, Benjamin." Felicia told him and she smiled. Charmaine shook her head. Umi couldn't believe it. She aimed her gun at Felicia. " You are a fake. Show your true form or I will fire!" Umi shouted. Felicia looked horrified. " What? I am not fake. I am real. I am Felicia, Girl friend of Benjamin." Felicia explained. Umi shook her head, she didn't believe her.
The clock chimed, it was Nine O'clock. Benjamin had a flashback of what Impossible said. NO! His head started to hurt like mad. Like he was being controlled. " NO!" He growled and then tried to calm down. But his head hurts a lot. They were all staring at him. "Ben?" Felicia asked and was about to reach out and touch him. " No, don't touch me, I am fine." Benjamin told them. Umi raised an eyebrow. Then, Benjamin had many flashbacks, of Impossible, of Felicia and how he used to work for Daniel Hunter. All the people he had killed… So many of them… Blood… he wants to see blood again… " NNNNOOOO!" He screamed and there was an explosion around him. The Slayers were thrown back and they hit a tree. " What happened?" Felicia asked.
When the smoke cleared, they all gaped. Benjamin was standing down there, but something was different. His eyes, they were glowing. " Oh, My GOD" Umi told them. " Every Soul Crushers do that when they want to attack." Umi explained. Charmaine and Felicia stared at her. " What, attack who?" Felicia asked. Benjamin roared and fired diamond poker cards that were on fire at them. They all dodged it. Umi took out her gun and aimed at him. Felicia stopped her. " You will injure him. He's just gone crazy. He will listen to me." Felicia told Umi. Before Umi could respond, she walked over, towards Benjamin.
" It's me, Felicia. Benjamin, I am your girl friend. The one you loved. And I loved you too. Don't you remember me?" Felicia asked. She was getting closer and closer to Benjamin. Umi just got ready. Charmaine was shaking her head. " I love you Benjamin and you love me too." She told him. He was eying her. " That's it, I know that you remember me. Go back to your normal form." Felicia coaxed and touched Benjamin's shoulder. The next thing happed so soon that Umi didn't really catch it. Benjamin threw Felicia away. He fired his diamond poker cards that were o fire at her, when she was in midair. She was hit by all of them. She fell and knocked into the tree.
Charmaine fired, Benjamin vanished before appearing right before Charmaine. He destroyed the gun and he injured Charmaine by slashing his claws at her. Charmaine was bleeding badly. She had 3 gigantic Xs on her. He then turned to Felicia. She was getting up. " You loved me. I am Felicia. Remember me!" Felicia coaxed. He didn't say anything. His eyes glowed, he roared at her. " Relax, no one is going to hurt you." Felicia coaxed. Then, Benjamin used flamethrower. And Felicia got a direct hit. She was burnt badly.
Benjamin held her up to him, by holding onto her collar. " No, Benjamin, drop Felicia!" Umi shouted and fired fireball at him. He blocked them. Felicia was trying to get free. She was struggling. Benjamin threw her away, but then, when she was still falling, he clawed her, on her face. She hit the tree hard and fainted. Two Slayers down. And he was still walking towards Felicia. Why he didn't come after her, Umi thought. Umi fired at him. Umi hit his leg, he was bleeding. Umi hadn't brought special bullets, but only normal ones. Benjamin ignored her. He picked Felicia up, Umi ran towards him. She jumped in midair and kicked Benjamin from his back. He fell, dropping Felicia. He stood up and roared. Okay, bad choice.
He had gone crazy. And Umi can't leave the two of the Slayers alone. She had to stop him. She hadn't brought any weapons today. After all Charmaine brought a little bit too much. Umi bit her lower lip, Benjamin was coming over and Umi knew that normal Magic attack won't work. She hadn't mastered any attack that can injure a Soul crusher without the weapon. She could only watch. Benjamin was charging over. Then, he was being hit by an attack. He roared. Impossible landed in front of Umi. Okay, talk about playing hero here.
Benjamin fired attacks at Impossible. He blocked all of them. " Which stupid Slayer will go out without weapon?" He asked her. " Well, Charmaine brought too many, so I thought…" She broke off halfway, Benjamin's attack was coming right at her, she dodged it in time. Impossible stared at Benjamin. " No control of his powers at all." He commented. Benjamin was firing attacks at Impossible but all of them went right through Impossible. Like he wasn't even there. Impossible took out his beam saber. He switched it on, it changed into white in colour. He slashed, it became very long, like s string, it wrapped itself around Benjamin and crushed him. As it became tighter, an Electric shock was sent through the beam saber and it shocked Benjamin. He roared in pain. Impossible pulled the beam saber, Benjamin fell to the floor, he wasn't moving. He turned back to normal.
Umi gaped. " Why did you save me?" Umi asked. Impossible kept his beam saber. " I have my reasons." He told her and healed Charmaine and Felicia. " He's going with me." He told her. " What?" She exclaimed. " I am taking him with me." Impossible told Umi. Just then, Benjamin woke up. He looked confused. " What happened?" He asked Impossible. " Nothing." Impossible told him and healed Benjamin.
" Let's go. I have work to do and no to save stupid Slayers who can't even watch out for themselves." Impossible told Umi. Benjamin followed Impossible. " Wait, Benjamin, you can't go. What's wrong with you? He's bad!" Umi shouted. Benjamin looked at Umi.
" No, he's our one and only leader." Benjamin told Umi. Umi gaped at him. Impossible walked on, so Benjamin followed. " I don't need you to save me anymore, and there will be no next time!" Umi shouted, Impossible and Benjamin vanished.
" Benjamin!" Felicia shouted and woke up sweating. Umi was looking at her, so was Kitty. Charmaine was still asleep. " Where's Ben?" Felicia asked instantly. " Er, he's gone." Umi whispered. " What do you mean?" Felicia asked, wanting to know more. " He's on Impossible's side now. Impossible saved me and all of us just now. Benjamin left with him." Umi told her. "So you are saying that Impossible saved us and he's good?" Felicia asked. " I didn't say that. But I couldn't even track Benjamin anymore." Umi told Felicia. Felicia didn't look like she believed. She ran towards the door, but Clow Reed and Matthew were coming in.
" Settle down now, Felicia. Charmaine hadn't woken up yet. Let her rest." Clow Reed coaxed. Felicia sat down, she looked pissed. " Now, we all know that Umi didn't let Benjamin leave on purpose. He had joined Impossible by himself. We can no longer track him anymore. And I don't think going to the The Blue Moon Aquarium will solve anything." Clow Reed told them. Umi felt guilty. " Now that Felicia's back, we don't have anything to worry." Matthew told them. " What! What about Benjamin?" Felicia asked. Matthew sighed. " I already saw it coming. He won't join us again. He chose this route himself." Matthew told Felicia. " No, you are lying!" Felicia shouted. Umi tried to calm her down, but Felicia pushed her hand away. " I will find him myself!" She shouted and left the room in a hurry.
Everyone bowed when Impossible stepped out of his car. Heero snapped once, they all stood up. They were at the hall of the Blue Moon Aquarium. " I am Impossible, All of you know that. Now, this year, I plan to do most damage to the Slayers and to the universe. And without your help, it won't be fun." Impossible told them. " All of you will address me as Sir and Mr Impossible or Impossible, nothing else." Impossible shouted. " Yes, sir." They all shouted. Impossible sighed. " This will still be your base, I have a base of my own. We will meet only when I call upon you all. Now, Anyone who betrays us, will be dead meat. Do I make myself clear?" Impossible shouted. " Yes, sir, Crystal Clear." They all shouted back in return. Now, he had his army. Good, he had other stuffs to take care of.
Impossible was at his tower, playing with the glass of water he was holding. He was thinking about the Slayers, and their history and what happened to his kind when he was asleep. How he wished to kill someone. He stood up and stretched.
" Sir, I believe someone is looking for you." Trowa told him through the speaker. " Who?" He asked. " Umi Ryuuzaki." Trowa told him. Impossible smirked. " She's blasting the doors to get to the portals." Trowa informed him. Impossible crossed his legs.
Umi appeared at an office like place, she looked around her. " Good Afternoon, Miss." Impossible told her. Umi jumped back and aimed her gun at him. He was smirking, and sitting crossed legged on his chair. Umi wanted to wipe the smirk off his face.
" I am here to make a deal." Umi told him. She laid a briefcase on the table, she opened it revealing a lot of cash. " These are real money, set Benjamin free." Umi told him. The briefcase flew to Impossible, he looked at the pile of cash. He flipped it and smiled. " Money, I have a lot more than what you have, I won't accept it." He told her and pushed it back to her.
" What is it that you want to free Benjamin?" Umi asked. " Felicia loves him. How can you do this horrible thing to break them up?" Umi asked him. Impossible smiled and stood up. " That's why I am a Soul Crusher and why you are a Slayer." He told her. He started walking over towards her. Umi's eyes narrowed.
" A Slayer, Pure by soul and heart. Binded to the Slayer policy forever. You can't choose to lie or do anything bad, as it's all controlling you." He told her. Umi aimed her gun at his head. "Move and I will shoot." She warned. " Your gun does not have bullets that are blessed with the power of Slayers to kill me. You do not have that technology don't even mention weapons." He told her. Umi's gun flew out of her hand and landed faraway. " You trashed my portals door, and you came here to my office. Do you think I will let you off?" Impossible asked. His eyes glowing. Umi looked away from him.
" Where's Benjamin?" She asked, to change the subject. Impossible closed the gap between the two of them. Using his finger, he lifted her head up to meet him. Umi looked away from him. " Why do you care so much about Benjamin? It's not like he's part of your life or anything." He told her. Umi released herself from his grip.
" But he's part of Felicia's life. That's why I want to keep it that way." Umi told him. He smiled and looked at her. " The evil can never be good, that's why I am showing you. Look at H.H, he was good, but he worked for us. He and Matthew are rivals, and always will be. See, people don't change for the good." He told her. Umi watched as he used his mind to lift a glass cup into the air. Umi crushed it with her mind. The water flew everywhere. Impossible froze time, except Umi.
" You still want a rematch, don't you?" Impossible asked, Umi studied him. " Yes, Heero, I do." Umi told him calmly. Impossible glared at her. " Do not call me by my name!" He shouted at her. Umi smiled, delighted to get his attention. " Well, I just like the sound of it, Heero, like the sound of hero, except, it's the other way round." Umi told him. Umi felt something hit her in her face. She flew and hit the sofa. She stood up and touches her face. " You slapped me!" Umi shouted at Impossible. He smirked at the mark on her face. " It suits you." He told her. Umi really wanted to get herself out of there, or, she could fight her way out. Which seems impossible.
" Yes, leave, you can't fight your way out." Impossible told her. He unfroze time. The water and the broken glass pieces fell to the floor. Umi took her gun and stormed out of the office. Impossible picked up one of the broken pieces. Then, the door opened. He looked up to see Umi coming in.
" I know it seems stupid, but how do you get out of here?" Umi asked him. He raised an eyebrow at her. " You know, Trowa's outside there with a gun." Umi told him. Impossible smiled. " The only way out is through that door." He told her. He saw the expression that appeared on her face. " Of course, you can beg me to save you." Impossible told her. " Well, I don't mind you slapping me, can you get me out of here?" Umi asked, trying to sound sweet. Impossible coughed. " No." He told her. Umi wasn't giving out. She will die, so many Soul Crushers out there.
" Be an angel and help this lady in distress, Please?" Umi asked, very sweetly. Impossible smiled and looked at her. " Fine, kiss me and I will save you." He told her. Umi gaped at him, it was like asking her to kiss an earthworm. " No, anything but that, and no sex." Umi told him. Impossible eyed her, his eye traced down and up her. " You don't have a choice." He told her. Umi looked at him with the big and glittering eyes, trying to look pitiful. " Umi, those eyes don't work." He told her.
" Fine, I will kiss you." Umi told him. Impossible smiled. " Accepting your fate, I see." Impossible told her. Umi dropped the briefcase onto the floor and walked closer to him. She bit her lower lip. " How do you actually kiss?" Umi asked, a bit embarrassed, in hr lack of experience. He rolled his eyes. He pulled her closer to him, lifting her head up to meet him, he kissed her deeply on her lips. Umi's eyes widened in shock. He was so tall… Umi closed her eyes, enjoying the moment for a while.
He released her, Umi started gaping for air. It wasn't that bad, but knowing who he was made it so bad. " Fine, I will help you." He told her. Umi picked up her briefcase up. He teleported her back to her room. Once she was there, Umi went into the bathroom and started vomiting into her toilet bowl. And after that, she started brushing her teeth.
The next day, Wednesday Afternoon,
He killed Penelope…. We kissed…. He's Impossible, but yet so unlike others, cause he's so human-like. Why? Why am I feeling so weird? Umi thought to herself. The kiss, it felt different. Umi touched her lips, It's not like he forced her… Maybe he was more than what he seems to be?
" Umi!" Someone shouted. Umi felt something hit her head. She turned to see who it was. It was Kitty. " They found Felicia, come quick!" Kitty shouted. Umi stood up, still feeling weird. " Is something wrong?" Kitty asked, looking at Umi's face. " No, I feel terrible for Felicia, I didn't help her…" Umi lied. She was shocked that she lied so easily. What was wrong with her? Kitty looked a bit concerned. " You want to see Clow Reed?" She asked. Umi shook her head.
Felicia was found, badly injured, she was holding a necklace in her hand. She was still sleeping. She kept shouting Benjamin's name. Angel sighed, Charmaine was asking for more details. Umi really felt very bad about Felicia and Benjamin. It was crushing her spirits, she no longer knew what she had to do. Confused. Belmont and Clow Reed asked for a meeting.
" Is something wrong with you? You look so listless…" Belmont told her. Umi smiled forcefully. " I know that you feel bad about Felicia. She only did it out of love, for Ben. She can't accept the truth that he's gone." Clow Reed told her. Umi wasn't paying attention. Clow Reed tried to read her mind. " Is it me or but you have a mental block?" Clow Reed asked. Umi blinked. " I didn't know that I could block anything from you." Umi told Clow Reed. " Umi, you know Impossible?" Clow Reed asked, Umi started vomiting.
" Er… I think she needs the doctor." Belmont told Clow Reed. " I am fine, Why ask?" Umi asked. " I found a way in the books to get his attention, for a while. We need to talk to him, I want you to turn up then." Clow Reed explained. Umi nodded.
The next day, Thursday Night,
Felicia was still asleep. No news of Belmont or anything. Umi was waiting for Belmont to look for her. Belmont came and they went to the rooftop of their Slayer's base. Clow Reed was drawing a spell circle. It looked very complex, they only draw spell circles if it's something very powerful. They stood back, as Clow Reed activated it. Blinding blue lights were given off, so bright that even far away, it could be seen.
Impossible was enjoying his dinner when he felt a shift in the energy. He looked up at the skies, to see a blue light. It was flashing. Impossible smiled. " Trowa, look after the base for a while. I have a meeting to attend to. Get Quatre to watch Ben." Impossible ordered. Trowa nodded.
There was smoke, and an explosion. Umi steadied her hair from flying. When it cleared, Impossible was standing in the glowing circle. " You don't need to use this to talk to me. There's an invention named phone." Impossible told them. He regarded Clow Reed, Belmont and he smirked when he saw Umi. Umi looked away from him. " Why is she here?" Impossible asked. Clow Reed looked at Umi. " She's here to help us. Prove that you are Impossible." Clow Reed told him. Impossible walked out of the glowing circle that lost its light that instant. " It's supposed to bind you in it." Belmont responded. " Well, does that prove it?" Impossible asked. Clow Reed's eyes narrowed. Impossible dodged a flying knife. Clow Reed started shooting a lot of knifes at him in one second. Impossible flew up and spreaded his wings. He then landed. Umi was surprised. Impossible was the only one with the Shining Silver wings. They were glowing in the light, shining like the stars all combined.
" How long have you kept them?" Clow Reed asked, eyeing his wings. " 1000 years." Impossible told him, he smiled at Umi. " I see that you have an interest in my Slayer." Clow Reed told him, Impossible's smile widened. " I believe that it's not the main point here, is it?" Impossible asked. " Why are you testing Benjamin?" Clow Reed asked. Impossible smiled. " Benjamin is just part of a little test I have set. Looks like he's losing." Impossible told them. Belmont looked at Impossible.
" Are you interested in joining forces with us?" Belmont asked. Impossible smirked. " Not likely. I know what I am after." Impossible told them, his wings flapped once. " You want the whole universe." Clow Reed told him. " No, I only want peace between us. I have been monitoring the fates of everyone these 1000 years, and it upsets me the most was the fact that many sadness are caused due to the endless war." Impossible told them. "Like you will do something so noble." Belmont snapped. " You don't understand. I saw something that left a mark on me, it made me aware of a few things." Impossible told them.
Umi didn't believe him, she knew that Clow Reed and Belmont didn't believe him too. " Believe what you have to." Impossible told them. " Will you set him free?" Clow Reed asked. " To set a Soul Crusher free, that's when their master feels that he's no longer needed." Impossible told them.
10 minutes later, Belmont and Clow Reed left. Umi was staring at Impossible. Wind blew past them, making her hair fly in the cold night air. " Do you want to stand here and stare at me the whole night?" Impossible asked, keeping his wings. " Why do I feel so empty?" Umi asked suddenly. Impossible smiled. " You are interested to know more, what normal people do." Impossible told her. " Like?" Umi asked, curious to know what he actually means. Impossible smiled.
The next day, Friday Night,
Impossible looked at the report Trowa gave him regarding Benjamin. Benjamin was waiting for his release. " He killed 40 Card Captors, sucked them dry and didn't rape any one." Trowa told Impossible. Impossible looked at Benjamin. " I understand that you only wish to be with Felicia." Impossible told him, he closed his eyes and closed the report file. " Tell me Ben, where will you go after this?" Impossible asked. Benjamin knelt down before him.
" I will run away, with Felicia for as long as possible." He told Impossible. Impossible sighed and stood up. He snapped once. " She's awake and fully healed. You have 3 hours. Get out of the Colony. And keep running. If we find you, we will kill the two of you. I won't accept anymore traitors, this is the first and last time." Impossible ordered.
" Thank you, Sir." Benjamin told Impossible. Impossible pointed his silver gun at Benjamin's head suddenly. " Do you love her?" He asked him. Benjamin closed his eyes. " Yes, sir, I do, with all my heart." Benjamin told Impossible. Impossible closed his eyes and fired three times. Benjamin was bleeding and fell to the ground. Impossible magiced a glass bottle. He threw it at Benjamin. White light filled the bottle. It flew to him. Benjamin slowly woke up, coughing.
" You are no longer a Soul Crusher, Leave, now!" Impossible ordered. Benjamin regarded Impossible with his normal green eyes. Benjamin teleported away.
" Setting him free wasn't a good choice." Trowa commented. " I don't want to see him again." Impossible told them. Now, he just had one big problem left….
Benjamin came in and dragged Felicia out of the hospital with him. Umi didn't ask why. Impossible told her that he was setting him free, means, he had to run, forever. They all watched as Felicia had to accept this fate of being with Benjamin, and they had to run forever, away from the Soul Crushers.
That Night,
Umi slowly walked out of her bathing pool. Water dripped down her body, she wrapped herself in a fluffy white towel. She walked to a table, where her clothes were. She sensed someone in the room. She turned to reach for a gun, but she had forgotten to bring it with her. She looked around the whole bathroom. Feeling that she was being watched.
" Why are you so tensed?" Umi turned to see Impossible sitting on a chair, looking at her. His Prussian Blue eyes, scanning her from head to toe. Taking in her beauty and the fact that she was almost naked before him. Umi was aware that she wasn't fully dressed.
" What are you doing here?" She asked, tightening her grip around the towel. " Relax, You are so easy to track." Impossible told her, grinning at her. Umi blinked once, she was fully dressed, she threw the tower away, and it floated on the water surface. Her hair was still wet. Impossible smiled and leaned back.
" Too bad it didn't last for longer." Impossible told her. " I have already set Ben free, like you wanted me to. Do you want your answer?" Impossible asked. Umi looked away from him. The kiss was still in her mind. " You got past the security?" Umi asked, Impossible nodded, taking his environment in.
" You know that we love raping people. You are interested in sex, and not just that, you want to have sex with me." Impossible told her. Umi narrowed her eyes. " Don't think so highly of yourself." Umi warned. Impossible stood up, damn, he's tall… " Then explain why you feel so empty?" Impossible told her. Umi didn't reply.
" I have no time to play with you." Umi told him. She walked past him, aware that her heart was pumping faster. She climbed up the stairs to reach the door. " You don't wear that to sleep do you?" Impossible asked. Umi looked back down at him. His eyes were glowing. " I regretted kissing you, nothing else. WE are who we are, Slayer and Soul Crusher, destined to kill one another." Umi told him. He laughed. " Do you truly regret it?" He asked, Umi blushed slightly. She ignored him and turned to walk to the door. She opened it and left. The door closed, Impossible looked at towel floating on the water. Umi… why did she excite him so much?
The next day, Saturday Early morning,
Impossible was standing on the balcony, waiting for the sun to rise. Soul Crushers have no weakness, not like vampires, they don't need blood or can't stay in the sun. Which made them superior. Impossible playing with his lighter. He flipped it open and close. He smiled as the sun shone and brought light to all.
Umi woke up, sitting on her bed. She had such a horrible dream… It was scary… She was being attack by Impossible. She lost and he killed her. Umi stood up, walking to her bathroom. She looked around to make sure that Impossible wasn't here. She started to wash her face. She looked up at the mirror, knowing that nothing was there. She then splashed water onto her face. It was icy cold, to wake her up, she then looked up at the mirror, expecting no one to be there. But, she saw Impossible there. Umi turned and backed up against the sink.
" What are you doing here?" She shouted. " I came to find you. After all, I am bored. Maybe you can help me here." He told Umi. " You know our relationship." Umi told him.
" Our Relationship?" He asked raising an eyebrow and smirking. Umi blushed badly. " I didn't mean that." Umi told him, getting a glass cup out. " Well, if you want one with me, I will consider." Impossible told her. Umi blushed and look away, she didn't feel like being there anymore. " Why are you sticking to me like superglue?" Umi asked. Impossible shrugged and didn't answer. Umi walked to the wardrobe. She looked back at Impossible.
" Heero, why did you set Ben free?" Umi asked him. Impossible stared at her, he didn't look angry with her. " He was a good Soul Crusher, until he met her. I didn't like traitors, but he just wants to be with Felicia. So, I set them free. So that they could be together." Impossible told her. Umi thought about it for a while. " Will…" She turned to see that he wasn't there. He had vanished.
