War on My World
Chapter 17: Goodbye is One of the Hardest Words for Me to Say; Part 2
All during the battle, Haku kept a close eye on Chihiro to see if she was acting strangely. Not once did anything suspicious happen, so Haku didn't need to be worried. However...there was one person that he didn't check on... Halfway through the battle, Leona started to act really strange. She was doing this combination attack with Balmung, and all of a sudden, she took his sword and whacked him over the head with the flat of the blade.
"Leona, what's the matter?" Balmung asked, concerned. Chihiro noticed this, and ran over to them
"What's wrong with her?" Chihiro asked, then noticed Leona's eyes. How cold, distant and dark they looked! It sent a shiver up-and-down her spine. 'Don't tell me the Connection Wing's gotten her! I'm gonna have to fight my sister...'
"..."Leona didn't say anything, but just leered at them. Balmung looked at Chihiro.
"She's under some kind of trance. Do I have your permission to get her out of it?" Balmung asked. Chihiro looked surprised momentarily.
"Why would you need my permission?" Chihiro asked, puzzled, as she dodged a swipe from Leona.
"Leona told me that you're her older twin sister, so I thought I'd ask you." Balmung said, them both ducking to avoid a crescent-slice. Chihiro nodded.
"Go ahead." She said, wondering what he would do. He grabbed his rightful sword, pulled it towards him(and Leona had such a tight grip on the sword that she could pulled towards him, too) and grabbed her arm and pulled her into a kiss. Chihiro clapped.
"Oh, so, romantic!" She said. Needless to say, the kiss really did it. For Chihiro, everything flashed a bright white. The next thing she knew was that she and Leona were floating in a white void. An older woman was standing in front of them both.
"W-Who are you?" Chihiro asked. She didn't feel like this woman would do them any harm. The woman smiled warmly, her green eyes glinting with kindness. The woman had long brown hair tied up with a violet-blue ribbon.
"I am Trinity, Queen of Gate." Said Trinity. Leona and Chihiro exchanged excited glances. Their mother!
"MOM!" They both shouted, running up to her and hugging her. Trinity hugged them both back.
"I just wanted to tell you both something, so I called you here in this world Betwixt and Between." Trinity said. Leona and Chihiro nodded intently. "Haku, the River God-"
"Haku's not a River God. I though he was a water spirit!" Chihiro said. Trinity shook her head.
"A water spirit is the fledgling form of a River God. When he grows up, he will grow more powerful and become the River God. He is the spirit of the Kohaku River." Trinity said. Chihiro nodded, and said no more. "Haku, the River God, loves you, Chihiro, very much." Chihiro nodded. "However, you know that he will have to go back to his river when you defeat Gray. And you will be at the gate."
Leona elbowed Chihiro at this point in the story. Chihiro gave her identical twin a glare, but looked back at Trinity.
"I know that separation is difficult. Your father and I have suffered it many times because of Styx attacks lead by Gray. Don't worry, all of the Styxians are dead, except Gray. I am willing to give you some sort of connection with him to keep in contact. I will explain all of this later, I just wanted you to know." Trinity said, and Chihiro understood. Then their mother turned to Leona.
"Now, Leona, you know how you thought Balmung was just a virtual player in that game?" Trinity asked. Leona nodded. "He is the Sky God." Leona's mouth dropped open.
"What? HOW?" Leona asked. Trinity simply smiled.
"When Carmaine said that there was a magic that allowed him to stay in that virtual form for all the worlds, it meant for all of the worlds, so now he is stuck in that form. Don't worry, I bet he doesn't miss his old life. In fact, he knows he is the Sky God. You may ask him. He knows that he won't have his human form back. Anyways, you know he loves you deeply." Trinity said. It was Chihiro's turn to elbow Leona.
"H-He does?" Leona asked, baffled. "But he's so shy! He doesn't even say a w-"
"He kissed you, Leona! Doesn't that count for anything! Geez, slowpoke!" Chihiro said, kidding around. Leona blinked.
"He did?" She asked. Chihiro slapped her forehead.
"Yes, he did! To save you from the Connection Wing! The thing had you under it's control!" Chihiro said. This is where Trinity stopped their conversation.
"I also wanted to talk to you about your handle on the Connection Wing, and I must say I am proud of you both. When I married your father, I gained the power myself. I couldn't handle it very well, and I spent most of my first year married to him unconscious. The Connection Wing likes to take advantage of people, and it certainly hasn't of you. Although it has once, I'm sure it won't happen again. I shall see you all after you defeat Gray." Trinity said, and waved adieu before the void faded into the real world.
After Balmung and Leona's kiss, the fighting really heated up. Marluxia took out his pink scythe(everyone had laughed at that) and Luxord was turning people into cards.
"What're ya gonna do to me, make me die of a flower-cut from your oh-so-pretty sakura?" Inuyasha asked, and laughed as he took out his sword. Ed, who was beside him, nodded.
"Yeah, or is your partner gonna kill us by pelting us with dice, first?" Ed asked. At that comment, Ed got surrounded by cards.
"Pick a card, any card!" Said Luxord. Ed looked around, and in a frenzy, picked the card in front of him.
"That one!" He shouted. He heard Luxord 'tsk'.
"Wrong choice..." Luxord said, as Ed turned into a card. Inuyasha looked at Ed with shock.
"Holy Kami! You turned him into a card!" Inuyasha shouted, quickly bringing up his large sword to block Marluxia's scythe. The tip of it was facing towards him, so he easily swung it off and got a hit in.
Chihiro observed the current observation. Yes, most people were defending Marluxia's attacks, since he was the main attacker. The others were trying to get attack Luxord, who had transformed himself into a card and other cards were around him to make it hard to tell which one he was.
"Sango, Kikyo come here!" Chihiro yelled, suddenly The boomerang-wielding girl and the priestess immediately came over.
"Yes, Chihiro?" Sango inquired. Chihiro whispered the plan to them both. Kikyo nodded, and walked towards the circle of cards. The cards soon surrounded her.
"Pick a card, any card." Luxord said. The backs of the cards were facing Kikyo, so the fronts were facing Sango. They were going in a circle around the dead priestess, but Sango timed when the card with Luxord's picture on it would come up. "Pick a card, any card! Hurry now, we don't have all day!" Luxord said. Kikyo seemed to think for a minute.
Sango threw her boomerang when she thought the Luxord card would pop up. It turned out it was the Luxord card, and she destroyed it. All the cards disappeared, and everyone that had been turned to cards/dice transformed back to their regular forms. Luxord was never seen again after that day. Now, with Luxord down, everyone could concentrate on Marluxia.
"Guys, I have another plan!" Chihiro yelled, everyone came over. "Inuyasha, Ed, make sure the pink-flower-sakura-scythe person isn't attacking us. Don't worry, the plan doesn't really pertain to you, anyways." She said. The two fended off Marluxia's attacks and prevented him from hearing their plan.
Everyone huddled around Chihiro. "Ok, here's the plan..." After Chihiro told them of the plan, everyone nodded. CorruptFlurrymon(who was no longer evil, but her evil form was much more powerful than her regular form, and had a LOT of attacks, too) held her pinwheel in front of her and it started to spin. Violet wind generated from it.
"Dark Zephyr!" CorruptFlurrymon shouted, the generated wind making a tornado under Marluxia. Then she jumped back and the pinwheel glinted as she pointed the tip of it at the edge of the tornado. "Escalating Gale!" She shouted, spinning around. The elevated pinwheel generated a clear tornado, which she then whirled at the it's violet elder. The bolt of wind threw Marluxia out of the tornado,(making both winds disappear) and CorruptFlurrymon had a hard time making him stay afloat just using her manipulation of wind.
"Frozen Hunter!" Shouted Beowulfmon(Koji had decided to take his virtuous form), knocking Marluxia back further. However, Marluxia used the power of...flowers...to keep him in the air, and to move wherever he pleased in the air, despite CorruptFlurrymon's effort to bash away the Cherry Blossom Petals.
Kikyo let loose a string of arrows at the same time Sango threw her boomerang. The boomerang knocked Marluxia towards them, where the arrows hit him. Haku blew a gust of fire at Marluxia, who then crashed into the ground by the boomerang. Marluxia rose, and raised his scythe. He took a crescent slash, and then jumped back.
Unfortunately, it didn't work as he hoped. All the guys were in the front lines holding their weapons up and had guarded the slash. Marluxia looked around at the situation. All of the girls were in the back...suddenly, he disappeared in a poof of sakura. Everyone spun around to reveal a...horrifying sight. Marluxia chuckled.
"Well, well...seems as if you weren't expecting this, now were you?" He asked. Chihiro's heart stopped, but she soon regained her composure.
"L-Leona..."Chihiro said. The said girl was standing a few feet away from them, Marluxia's scythe tip protruding from her chest. Blood made the pink scythe red, and it covered all of Leona's clothes and it made the floor red.
"She's...dead..."Balmung said, in disbelief. Everyone was in disbelief.
"What? NO! How could that happen? Our mother just talked to us five minutes ago, telling us how she was so proud! And now this!" Chihiro yelled. Marluxia withdrew the scythe, making Leona fall to the floor.
"Oh boo-hoo." He said, wiping a fake tear away and sniffing.
"You will die!" Balmung shouted, his sword glowing. Chihiro glowed a red, too, but Haku stopped her from obliterating Marluxia to oblivion, if that was even possible.
"Haku, what are you doing! I must avenge my sister!" Chihiro yelled. Haku shook his head.
'Since Balmung is a sky god, his wrath would be much more painful than yours. I think you wanted the most painful demise for this Marluxia person, am I right? I don't mean to insult you, but...' Haku said to her. Chihiro sighed and let herself relax as the red aura disappeared.
"I guess you're right...I bet you would want to rip Marluxia to shreds if he killed me, right?" Chihiro said, and sighed. They all watched Marluxia and Balmung fight it out. Haku nodded.
'I'm sorry Leona is dead. I don't think I have enough power to revive her.' Haku said. Chihiro's pale face was etched in a fake smile.
"I-It's ok. I guess I'm an...only child...once more." She said. She lost all of her siblings...but, why? It was Carmaine's own choice to die(although they didn't like the choice he made), and Leona didn't deserve the death she got. "The l-least we can do for her now is bury her." She said, trying to suppress her tears.
'Chihiro, you are an amazingly strong person. If I had a brother and a sister, and they both died, I don't think I would be able to handle it like you do.' Haku said to her.
"Thanks, Haku." Chihiro said, and sighed as she watched the tide of battle tip in Balmung's favor. He was lettingloose a string of merciless attacks, and Marluxia couldn't block every one every single time.
'It's the truth.' Haku only said in reply, as Chihiro bent down next to her dead sister.
"I want to take her up to Gate, my home country. I want my Mom and Dad to see her. Most of all, I want her to be buried there. I don't know if it's what Leona would've wanted, but up there, I think, she can be in harmony with the sky and sea." Chihiro said. Just then, Balmung delivered the final blow to Marluxia and the said pansy fell. Larxene walked over to him.
"HA! You deserved everything you got, Marluxia!" She said triumphantly, then turned around and held up a peace sign. "Two more people to go, then we can put Gray and Maleficent in his place!" She said.
"Lexaeus and Vexen are the only people, besides Lar-Lar and I, left of the Organization. I never liked Vexen, anyways. He was such a poser, freezing my water replicas all the time!" Demyx said. Larxene patted him on the shoulder.
"Awww...what's the matter? Upset 'cause big bad Vexen froze your little replicas? Aw, so sad!" Larxene said. Demyx glared at her.
"Shut up, Larxene. Let's get going." Demyx said, and walked off.
"Someone's mad." Vivi stated as they all followed Demyx. Chihiro took a look at Leona, sighed, and caught up with the group, running out of the room. Little did they know, that Leona wasn't dead at all.
-
Demyx looked over his shoulder. "What are you guys, my miniature posse or something? Quit following me. You're cramping my style." Demyx said. Larxene and Zoey looked at each other.
"Excuse me, Demyx, A. Since when did you ever have a posse, and B. You told us to follow you, we didn't do it on our own whim." Larxene said. Demyx scratched his head.
"I have a posse?" He asked. Everyone anime fell with a large sweatdrop decorating their foreheads. When they all stood up, the fell again because Demyx said, "Oh, hey guys. Didn't notice you there!" Everyone then stood up once more, and this time, Demyx had his hands on hips and was tapping his foot impatiently. "C'mon, guys, let's get going! We don't have all day!" Demyx shouted, walking off again.
Everyone followed, keeping close enough so that when Demyx turned around, they would just shout 'Demyx, GO!' And Demyx would hang his head and continue. Soon, they reached a door. Demyx opened the door. As Demyx said, the Silent Hero, Lexaeus the Tomahawk wielder and Vexen, the Ice Shield person, were inside the room.
Immediately Lexaeus charged at them, the tomahawk heading straight for the musician. Demyx's eyes widened as his sitar immediately popped in his hands.
"DANCE FLIPPIN' WATER, DANCE! HURRY UP AND DANCE!" Demyx shrieked. A 100 water replicas appeared in front of Demyx, jumping in the way of the Tomahawk to protect their 'master'. After they had all been decimated, Lexaeus was still not stopped. Demyx ducked, but Lexaeus brought down the tomahawk.
Just as it was about to kill Demyx, Larxene shouted, "Thunder!" and a bolt of lightning made it's way towards Lexaeus, shocking him and making him drop the tomahawk.
"Escalating Gale!" Shouted CorruptFlurrymon, making a small whirlwind bring the tomahawk to her(although it was quite heavy) instead of making it crash into Demyx which is what it would have done if it weren't for the spirit of wind. She grabbed the tomahawk and held it with some difficulty.
"Geez! This thing is so heavy!" CorruptFlurrymon exclaimed. Lexaeus glared at her, and charged at her. CorruptFlurrymon couldn't move, the tomahawk was weighing her down. She pulled and pulled, but to no use. With the pinwheel and the tomahawk, she just couldn't move. Beowulfmon appeared in front of her and fought of Lexaeus.
"Here, someone take it!" CorruptFlurrymon shouted. She finally lifted it, but got an idea. "Nevermind, I got an idea! Beowulfmon, move for a minute!" She shouted. Beowulfmon did so. She let the pinwheel and the tomahawk drop to the floor, she still held onto the handles. "Terra Cyclone!" She shouted, spinning around. Although the wight of the tomahawk slowed her, she spun pretty fast. Dirt and wind rose, creating a earth-like tornado. Then she let go of both weapons, which flew in the air, and she stopped spinning.
When the weapons reached the edge of the earth-cyclone, she spun around once and held up her hand, palm-first. A sparkle emitted from the tomahawk and pinwheel, and disappeared. Then, CorruptFlurrymon floated in the air and the Earth-tornado disappeared.
"Everyone, stand back! Way back." CorruptFlurrymon shouted, and everyone but Lexaeus stepped back from CorruptFlurrymon.
"What's a little butterfly(CorruptFlurrymon looked like JetSilphymon except for Kazemon's butterfly wings) gonna do to me?" Lexaeus asked. CorruptFlurrymon smiled.
"You really wanna know? Ok then, don't go crying to me when you're all beat up! This if for Everyone!" She shouted, then flew towards him. "Coup de La Papillon!" She shouted, twisted around in the air and sent multiple(very, VERY fast) kicks to his face,(about 20 of them) before spinning around in the air on his face(which made it very distorted and I seriously don't want to be Lexaeus anytime in the future) and then stopping. Both of her feet were on his face, and Lexaeus was frozen partly because his brain wasn't functioning and the other was because he was in a lot of pain.
Her body was diagonal(her feet was currently the part of her body closest to the ground), and she held out her hands parallel to her shoulders. Her pinwheel appeared in both of her hands. Then the tomahawk appeared above the pinwheel, and sliced it in half. CorruptFlurrymon then threw away the handle of the pinwheel, and grabbed the two sharp-edged fans which were the remains of the cut pinwheel.
(Note: If you're a little kiddie out there, then I suggest you don't read the next grotesque paragraphs. Scroll down until you see another note of mine if you're extremely squeamish or a little kiddie. This is probably the only 'teen' moment in my story besides Gray's battle, but he doesn't count)
"Tenkuukaikatsu Akanesasusora Suetsukata Anshinritsumei!" CorruptFlurrymon shouted. Everyone watched as she performed the most complex and not to mention biggest and fastest move in history, and Lexaeus was screaming every part of it. Heck, he died before the move actually finished. First, she put her heels under Lexaeus' chin, and back-flipped, throwing him in the air while she gracefully fluttered to her feet. Then, with the palm of her hands and the fans facing upwards, she spun around to create a whirlwind to keep the Silent Hero in the air.
Then she placed one of her fans on the floor, and stuck it there. She threw the other fan towards him, and it got stuck in his stomach. He came down, and she dislodged the fan from his stomach when he came towards her, and quickly picked up the other fan and fanned a strong gust of wind at him while pirouetting, throwing him backwards at the wall.
She then ran towards him and yet again placed her heels under his chin. She back-flipped once more, this time making him land on the ground with her standing on his neck. Then she jumped to the other side of the room, and used the fan to create another whirlwind to rise Lexaeus in the air. She then leaned down and threw both her fans at him, one missing and immediately coming back to her, the other lodging itself in his side.
When he came down again, CorruptFlurrymon spun close to the ground, and a shockwave type of air occurred, knocking the fan away from Lexaeus' side(with a lot of difficulty) and fanned in a direction that threw Lexaeus into Vexen. Now she made another whirlwind to rise them both up in the air, and ran into the eye of it, also known as under Lexaeus and Vexen. She pirouetted and then let go of one of her fans as it rose up in the air.
Then she threw the other fan up with such force it cut through Lexaeus' organs and everything and into Vexen. The other fan gently floated down to CorruptFlurrymon. Now she did a handstand with one hand, the other hand holding the fan. The hand with the fan threw the fan and she immediately flipped over and rose her hands as yet another(there were about five or six whirlwinds in the room total) whirlwind hit them further in the air and made Vexen facing the ground, where the fan connected with Vexen's kidney.
Then she spun around once more, the fans spinning around too. Vexen(with both fans in him) spun around at a super fast rate, causing Lexaeus to spin. The fans dislodged themselves out of Vexen(which made him scream) and landed themselves safely in CorruptFlurrymon's hands. Vexen and Lexaeus landed on the ground side-by-side.
CorruptFlurrymon then jumped on their necks, placing each of her feet under their chins. She gracefully back-flipped one more time and threw the fans at them. The fan thrown at Lexaeus ripped him apart and it was obvious he was dead because his torso was disconnected to the rest of his body. As for Vexen, he had his shield up and blocked the fan.
"I'm not done yet!" She shouted, doing the Foot-Under-Chin-Backflip(let's call it Butterfly's Flip for later reference) once more to Vexen(she easily batted away his shield) and then while he was in the air she held her hands out, holding the fans which returned to her, and slashed diagonally each way with the fans. Then, when Vexen came down, she stuck her heel in his stomach, and when he landed on both feet, she did the Butterfly's Flip(except in the stomach), throwing him against the floor. When he got up(very weakly) she grabbed his shoulders and kneed him in the stomach, making him lean over.
Next she jumped on his back and did a hand-stand on it. Then she kicked his back which threw him against the ground. Then she generated one more whirlwind to make him go in the air. She stood under him, and when he fell, she held her fans tips-to-the-sky and spun around, the fans slicing Vexen to pieces. There was blood, bones, flesh and other disgusting bits of body everywhere. CorruptFlurrymon was, surprisingly, not covered in anything, but everywhere else was a royal mess.
Time She Did That Move In: 1 Minute. That's just to show you how fast she did it in. When you read it, it seems much longer, but she did it in a minute. It just goes to show you how fast the spirit of Wind is. Also, that was one complete move. Everything connected fluidly, but it doesn't seem like it, but if I could make an animation for you, I'd show you how everything connected. Anyways, during that minute, everyone from Chihiro's crew was gaping at the previously evil female like idiots because they didn't believe what she just did.
Also, Haku had covered Chihiro's eyes at multiple moments of the attacks to be shielded by the immense amount of blood and violence and flesh and bones and guts and everything else that was too disgusting to describe right now. In fact, multiple people had covered their own eyes. They all wondered how CorruptFlurrymon could do all that and look at all that blood and disgusting stuff without wincing. Heck, they all were grossed out at least five or six times in that minute.
(Note: Safe reading again, folks.)
There was silence for precisely five minutes. CorruptFlurrymon was standing in front of them, hands on her hips. She looked like a fairy in the middle of a battlefield. Finally, one person was finally able to break the spell the scene has cast over them.
"Z-Zoey...I didn't know you were so vicious." Beowulfmon said. CorruptFlurrymon smiled and clasped her hands behind her back as she swayed back and forth.
"I...I was just angry at all of them for killing almost everyone. I wanted to get revenge..." CorruptFlurrymon said, before changing back into Zoey and fainting. Fortunately Beowulfmon caught her before she fell on the floor. He changed back into Koji.
"I think we should rest here again. None of us are injured, but I don't think Zoey will wake up anytime soon. We all should be in prime condition for the battle with Gray." Koji said. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"I agree. I want to retrace my steps and say goodbye to Leona for a final time before we commence the last battle." Balmung said.
"I'll go with you." Chihiro said, Balmung nodded. Haku also volunteered to go. "Alright, everyone else stay here and rest, ok? When we come back we can go." Chihiro said. The gang nodded, and the trio went back to the room they were in before.
Leona wasn't there. Chihiro, Balmung, and Haku looked everywhere possible in that room, but she wasn't anywhere to be found. Only Marluxia.
"Where'd Leona go? She couldn't have gotten anywhere!" Chihiro said.
"Maybe Gray took her body somewhere?" Haku asked, shrugging. Chihiro looked at Haku like he lost his head.
"Why would he do that? Besides, wouldn't he take Marluxia?" Chihiro asked. Speaking of the dead pansy, Balmung looked over at him. He noticed something missing from the picture.
"Didn't...didn't Marluxia wield a scythe?" He asked.
"I..I think so. Why?" Chihiro asked.
"I think the Connection Wing has taken her over again, since she's dead." Balmung said. "The reason why Marluxia's scythe isn't here is proof of that. She must've taken his scythe and ran away." He said.
"Run away? I'm not the one who's running away." Said a voice from behind them. The trio turned, revealing the fourth person of their quartet, Leona. However, her eyes retained the cold, distant look from before. In her left hand she wielded the scythe. In her right she wielded one of Carmaine's rapiers.
"You got the sword from Car! Where is he?" Chihiro asked, with hope. Maybe her brother was alive, too! Even though the real Leona was dead, her brother might still be alive. Just because the world disappeared, didn't mean he was actually dead. Chihiro just lost all hope.
"Heaven. You see, I traveled there to get one of his swords. The other weapon I got from oh-so generous Marluxia over there. I think he killed 'me' on purpose. As to release 'my' power so it would take 'me' over. And then the Connection Wing, also known as me, would get to kill you! Isn't that a terrific plan?" The Connection Wing asked.
"No! You're going down! C'mon, guys, let's do this!" Chihiro shouted. Haku turned into the water dragon. Balmung got his sword ready. Chihiro looked at both of them. She had a plan. "I have a plan! But I'll need your help!" She said, and whispered a plan to both of them. They nodded. Balmung charged straight towards Leona. (I'll just call her Leona even though she's not)
"Huh? A straight-forwards attack? Well, here I go!" Leona shouted, holding both the rapier and scythe in a guard-position. Balmung placed his sword underneath the point where the weapons intersected. He brought it up, causing both weapons to go flying. Chihiro jumped and caught the scythe, which turned the color of it into white. She looked at it in surprise.
"Looks like you weapon is a scythe, which is why it transformed into a color matching your personality. White stands for someone who is virtuous." Haku said. Chihiro blushed at the comment, but didn't say anything.
"Ack! I'm such an idiot!" Leona shouted, getting her rapier ready for a strike. Chihiro got on Haku, and he sped towards her. As soon as Chihiro was under Leona, she jumped off, and took a swing with the scythe.
"Well...I-I guess she's dead, now." Balmung said. Chihiro had wide eyes. She was absolutely stunned.
"I didn't know-I didn't know it would make such a clean sweep. But, I guess it's better than sooner, right?" Chihiro asked, gulping down tears, as she looked at her now decapitated sister.
"Maybe you're right. But I would've liked to return her in one piece." Balmung said, leaning down and gently touching Leona's head, which was a foot away from her body. Suddenly, there was a bright light and Leona's head was screwed back into place. "Ah! Are those my powers?"
"Yes. As a sky god, those who look into the night sky wish upon the stars. You have the power to make your wishes come true. However, resurrection is not an option. No God, however strong, is able to complete that. Many may be able to. Not you and I together, after all, we're both still children." Haku said. Balmung nodded.
"When we get older, I'll revive you. I promise, Leona." Balmung said.
"Another thing: For resurrection, you need the body." Haku said. Balmung nodded, and threw her body over his shoulder.
"Let's get back to them." He said. Chihiro looked at Leona's hand. She was still clutching Carmaine's rapier.
"I think her weapon would've been the rapier like Carmaine." She said. Haku shook his head.
"I've heard that members of the same family do not have a strong affinity for the same weapon. For example, if Leona were alive, she would not be as adept at using the scythe as you are. If Carmaine's weapon is the rapier, neither you or her would be able to use it as well as he could. The tide of fate disallowed us to see what her weapon is, though." Haku said. Chihiro nodded. Haku sounded so mature in his dragon form!
"Yeah, let's get back." Chihiro said, leading the way back. Haku transformed back into the human form, as he and Balmung conversed with each other on the way to the others. Chihiro was quiet. She still couldn't believe that Leona was dead. She was glad they could revive her at some point, though.
"Welcome back!" Everyone shouted as Chihiro opened the door. The trio blinked, and Demyx noticed Chihiro wielding the scythe. He pointed to her in horror.
"KAMI, THEY'RE ALL DEAD! RUUUUUN! THEY'RE GONNA EAT US ALIVE!" Demyx shrieked. Everything was instantly turned into chaos. People were running around in circle screaming their heads off. The cool, calm and collected people were just shaking their heads sadly.
"Such a shame lives have to be wasted like that." Said Koji. Larxene sighed, and nodded.
"Yes, I agree." She said. Chihiro glared at everyone. How could they be so stupid? Did she look like a grim reaper? Well, she'd show them a grim reaper if they wanted to see one!
"Everyone, sit down!" Chihiro boomed. No one knew her voice had such a powerful tone to it. Heck, it was so convincing even Haku and Balmung sat down. Everyone immediately sat down, some trembling in fear, others just staring at her. "Do I look like a grim reaper?" She asked, banging the scythe on the floor.
"But you have a scythe!" Demyx yelled.
"So do I." Daryl said, a gold scythe appearing in his hands. Laura smiled.
"He's not evil." She said. Demyx looked at them.
"KAMI, I'M GONNA DIE!" He shouted, getting up and running. Chihiro glared at him. She was getting mad. Why couldn't he be a normal person and just shut up?
"Demyx, sit down!" Chihiro commanded. Demyx meeped before sitting down. "Alright. This is what I'm going to tell you all. I'm so tired of Demyx's outbursts. Everybody, be real! Who would've killed us? Leona? No, I don't think so, because she's dead! What about Gray? Well, what about him?" Everyone stared at her. No one knew she could be so serious.
"Sorry, Captain." They all said simultaneously, even Haku and Balmung. It's just, her voice sounded so powerful.
"We're going to go to Gray and Maleficent, and I want you guys to follow me calmly like an army. This may be our last chance to save the galaxy. I want you all to be serious, and act with vigor and courage. I'm going to leave you guys to think about it for a minute. When I come back, be ready and stand in rank, ok?" Chihiro asked, turning around. "Oh, Haku, don't follow me. I know what I'm doing." She said. Haku nodded.

"She knows what she's doing? Well, I hope she does. It might just be her last command." Thought Maleficent, stalking Chihiro in the shadows unaware to her.

"Well, great going, Demyx. You're worse than that rat." Said Kyo. Everyone was growling, glaring and complaining at/to Demyx.
"Look, I'm sorry. I can't help myself sometimes! I'll play a song for you!" Demyx said, standing up and going in the front of the room. Everyone sighed and looked at Demyx like they had nothing better to do. Because, in truth, they really didn't have anything better to do. His sitar appeared in his hands.
"Sunday, Monday, Happy Days," Demyx started to sing, playing a happy tune on his sitar. Everyone stared at him.
"DEMYX, NO!" They all shouted. In fact, even Zoey woke up to shout.(Demyx's playing was that bad)
"Aw, but it's such a good song!" Demyx whined. Everyone proceeded to laugh at Demyx's joke. "But, guys, I'm serious!" He said. Everyone stopped laughing.
"Oh." They all thought he was sarcastic. Like I stated a couple of chapters ago, Demyx couldn't tell sarcasm from a brick. He could sound like he was saying something in a sarcastic tone, but would be serious. And he could be saying something like he was serious, but in fact he would be saying that sarcastically. Demyx could truly not tell sarcasm from a brick.
"Yeah, and I'm the Queen of Music." Larxene said. Yeah, like she would be the Queen of anything besides thunder.
"I thought that was Elvis." Demyx said. Everyone anime fell.(even though they were sitting)
"Wow. That's sad." Zoey said, shaking her head with pity.
"Yeah, I hear you." Larxene replied, imitating Zoey.

At this moment in time, Chihiro felt a presence behind her. She looked around wildly, and readied her scythe.
"Who's there?" She demanded. Maleficent appeared from the shadows.
"I am Maleficent." Maleficent said. This was the one moment Chihiro showed some spunk.
"Yeah, I know who you are." She said. Chihiro was just really pumped up. She was mad because the Connection Wing had taken over her sister and she had to kill Leona. "What to do you want?" Chihiro demanded. She was in no mode for this.
"Your life." Maleficent cackled evilly. Chihiro smiled in a spunky way. She was 'feeling the heat' today.
"Oh yeah? Well, we'll see about that request!"
Sorry, I had to make Chihiro a little 'spunky' there at the end. She was so nice the whole story, so I was like 'Aw, the heck with it!' and ditched it. Anyways, the actual final chapter is next! Then the epilogue. Yayz! Chihiro barely did any fighting in the story, so I think she deserves a battle by herself in her own right. Originally, they were going to beat up Maleficent all together, but I decided Chihiro needed to show her what she's made of.
Anyways, review, please and thanks! Sorry for the real confusing attack for CorruptFlurrymon...I play way to much Mortal Kombat for my own good.
