Alright, just a quick heads-up before the next chapter: I just started playing "Mortal Kombat 11", so don't expect all chapters to be out all at once; like I said, I'll make to get every chapter of each volume out before the end of the month.
Enjoy
"WHAT DO THINK YOU'RE DOING, LITE?!" yelled Louisa. "GET OUT OF THE WAY! NOW!"
"...No..." Satellite growled at his younger half-sister. "I will NOT let you hurt Kazuha!"
"How DARE YOU disobey your master! You're MINE!"
"...Not anymore...Kazuha is my partner..." Satellite whispered coldly to her younger sister; although his began getting louder. "For all my time you, I lived my entire life in fear...the fear that NOBODY cares about me...but Kazuha was the one who helped me conquer my fears...overcome the darkness inside my soul...the darkness that YOU kept me under! Kazuha is my TRUE family! The one I TRULY love! And that's why...I will do what I must to protect her...AND I WILL KILL ANYONE WHO TRIES TO HURT HER! AND I DON'T GIVE A BLOODY SHIT IF YOU'RE MY SISTER OR NOT! I WILL FUCKING MURDER YOU AS WELL IF YOU HURT HER! YOU HEAR ME?!"
Kazuha widened her eyes in astonishment after what she heard.
"Eh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh..." Louisa slowly gave out an evil laugh. "Is THAT what you think? Do you REALLY think you've overcome your fears? DON'T make me laugh! If THAT'S the you want it...then I'll destroy her...AND YOU! DO IT, HOPPER! SO 'EM THAT YOU'RE #1 AT EAST GENETICS!"
"#1 at East Genetics!" exclaimed Satellite. "Wait a sec, NOW I remember, Hopper Rose! From what I've heard, he's supposed to be East Genetics first-ranked third-year! Basically, he's Clifford Fairchild from East! Man, I'm in deep shit now, but I WON'T let her get to Kazuha!"
"HOPPER! SENPAI! STOP!" pleaded Kazuha. "Pandora aren't meant to fight! Not like THIS! LOUISA IS WRONG!"
"...'Wrong'?" whispered Hopper. "Are you saying THIS is wrong?! Then what do you think is 'right'? Huh? I can't sense even the slightest bit of meaning...in that cheap justice you speak of while being clues of how the world really is! What value is there in the ramblings about lustice...coming from a powerless worm like you...who doesn't know a thing about the L. Bridget family...or how truly fearsome their power is? Pandora have NO purpose...outside of obeying their masters! Louisa...is my master, so I live to serve her...to satisfy her...to make her happy! But YOU, Satellite L. Bridget...YOU are whom my master thinks about! MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE! And DON'T tell me that I'm lost in my feelings! That I can't think straight! That I'm blinded by jealousy! Regardless, I HATE you, Satellite L. Bridget! The man who ensnared my Louisa's heart! And so, by her orders...and even if she DIDN'T...I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!"
"...For the longest time, Louisa's kept me in dark room of fear!" the Pandora punk countered. "But NOT ANYMORE! Mark my words, I will defeat you, one of Louisa's disgusting playthings, and then I'll free myself from this goddamn curse!"
"Mmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm! Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee! Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh! Hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah! HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!" laughed the youngest L. Bridget child evilly. "Don't make me laugh, Lite! You have NO idea how fucking deluded you are! Haven't you forget? Hopper happens to be the GREATEST senior at East Genetics! AND YOU'RE JUST A JUNIOR, YOU DON'T STAND A CHANCE! Hell, when you were drafted into the Pandora Program, you had to beg Father to use his resources to get you a bunch of those blasted Heroic Stigmata!"
"'H-Heroic Stigmata'?!" exclaimed Kazuha.
"What?! You DON'T even know what that is?!" laughed Louisa. "In the 8th Nova Clash, the concept of 'High End' skills was born...and the Stigmata who created them—the ones that Lite bears on the back of his neck—once belonged to the greatest Pandora of that Clash: Kazuya Aoi!"
"...'Kazuya Aoi'...? You mean big brother...?" the female Japanese Limiter asked in shock.
"Brother?" thought Louisa. "You mean YOU'RE his little sister?!"
"But...that CAN'T be...I saw big brother's corpse get cremated; the Stigmata should've burned with him...unless...were they...removed before the cremation...? And implanted into OTHER Pandora...?" Kazuha slowly turned to her partner. "Lite-senpai...do you..."
"*SIGH*…" Satellite removed his punk jacket so he could expose his Stigmata to his Limiter. "...Y-Yes, Kazuha...after your brother died, I was implanted with six of his Stigmata. On the day we first met—the day you called me 'big brother'—that was when I realized it was you...his little sister...the girl who shares the blood of my inheritance...maybe THAT was the reason why every time you touched me, I didn't freak out...but..." Tears began to stream the Pandora punk's eyes as he looked away in fear. "...but when you asked me to be your partner...the only reason I turned you down...was because if you knew the truth...you'd HATE me...you'd blame me for his death! I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I just...*SOB*...I didn't know what you SAY! *SNIFF* *SOB*"
*CLANG*
Dropping his sword, Satellite fell to his knees and held his hands over his hands as he began to break down into crying agony.
"I...I think I GET it, now..." whispered Kazuha, getting Satellite's attention. "Back then, when I first saw you...I thought I was seeing my brother. And when I did, I felt SO happy...that I hugged you by accident. Do you...really think I could hate you? Resent you? Blame you for big brother's death? Never!" Kazuha made his way to the Pandora punk, who slowly arose to his feet to look back at her. "The happiness I felt when I met you...if I think about it," she continued as tears began to fall down her cheeks, "that may have been from big brother himself...it seemed as if...big brother was looking for someone to carry on his will...and the man who answered his calls...appeared right before me...Lite-senpai, I'm actually quite HAPPY..." Kazuha then gave out a big smile. "...happy that it was YOU!"
Satellite's eyes widened. "K-Kazuha…"
"L-Lite-senpai…"
Looking at each other's eyes, the two of them slowly walked towards the other, until they were right in front of each other...then, closing their eyes, Kazuha grabbed Satellite's cheek, while Satellite's wrapped his arms around his Limiter; they both leaned the heads further...and further...and further...until their lips—
"ARRRGH! ENOUGH OF THIS!" screamed Louisa. "SO WHAT IF YOU HAVE THOSE PATHETIC HEROIC STIGMATA?! SO WHAT IF KAZUYA WAS YOUR SISTER?! HOPPER! KILL THEM BOTH!"
And so Hopper leapt at the pair.
"SENPAI! LOOK OUT!" cried Kazuha.
*CLANG*
Reacting quickly, Satellite grabbed her sword and blocked Hopper's attack before pushing him back. "I've had enough of this!" growled the Pandora punk, who seems to have lost the last of his sanity. "These Heroic Stigmata...they are the bond that Kazuha and I share...YOU WILL NEVER LAY YOUR FUCKING HANDS ON THEM!"
End
Later
