Chapter 12: Games

People tend to get attached to things. They view items as if it was alive. They clearly know it's not real but they continue to believe that there is some form of reality in it. And of course no one has the right to belittle the ideas of that person. Emotions are attachments to the world around them; and should never be severed.

I stood surrounded by the group. The now tremendous six was the (and in no copyright infringement way) the fantastic four heh. They all now had dumb founded looks on their faces as Leonheart gazed into my eyes.

"Well Recompense, we finally meet. It appears that you aren't just a thing of legend after all." My heart lurched. He knew.

The room lit up once more this time it was quickly consumed with darkness. "Hmm it seems I'm late for this little arrangement." In the darkness I could see Kasami.

The warrior that traveled with Leonheart suddenly appeared next to him as well. "Leon!" Tiffany jumped over to Leonheart and they both were filled with joy.

I couldn't recognize the other two next to Leonheart though, all well it doesn't matter. "Kasami what are you doing here?" I said

"Oh but master I have come to protect you." She teleported next to me, "After all I am your favorite right." She grabbed my arm and pulled close to me.

"So the hacker Kasami and this Recompense are in it together!" The Blade Master who was also clad in black stated.

"I guess." Leonheart stepped forward. Tiffany at his side. The other pair stepped forward as well.

"Wing what are we gonna do. Recompense is gonna kill us." The girl whos name read Emily said.

"We stand and face him all of us can take them." Wing smiled. He looked up and Leonheart. "So are we gonna fight him."

"Hmm this is all so very boring." Kasami moaned, "But you all bore my very close friend and allied." She smiled at me with a beautiful smile. Those eyes she seemed so kind, but something in them was wrong.

You know I'm going to have to kill you for this right Abiss.

What who's there? Aw it's you Cygnus how did you manage to survive our last encounter. I thought burning your home would have done it.

No. I'm not done settling the score with you.

I looked all around me. Seeing all of these people really brought back memories. It reminded me of the past that I can never bury. Of pain that I will never forget. "All this chat is really nice and all. But I get bored and when I'm bored I like to kill." I said turning my head towards Kasami. "Isn't that right."

Her eyes exploded, it looked like I had caught her off guard with that comment. "Aw yes my sweet master." She nuzzled my arm. "We can't have that." I winked my eye that no one could see at Kasami.

I switched over to private chat for an instant. "Did I catch you off guard well I hope you stop me from killing all of these people seeing as how important they are to your plan."

I held out my hand. The entire room began to hold its breath. My hand began to glow and power flowed from it causing the room to quake.

"So that's how much power you have in just your hand. No wonder why I had to use half of my strength to keep me alive with one of your super attacks"

"But first let's take this to a more private area. Where we can really fight." Kasami said pulling my arm.

"Aw yes." I smiled at her, "I know just the place." All of the high level characters in the room teleported with me. We were going to where I was at the least home.
