Symone: A Special Nova Side-Story - "The Rage Of Rain"
[Sequence Three: Finale
Chapter Twenty-Two: That Moment When Earth Becomes Hell

A glimpse of light was seen emanating from the pores of Genburori's body as he was seen standing before Nova, within his home. Genburori had seemed to be able to obtain something new, as if he was experiencing a surge of chakra never before felt or seen after killing the ninja, Himura Jin. Nova stared him down, looking to him in curiosity as the gut feeling in Nova's abdomen had increased tenfold. His darkened hair waving behind him very slowly as the chakra from Genburori's body pushed from out of his body, creating a breeze of energy like a mid-summer's breeze. "Nova... You will join me in my pursuit of power, yes?" asked Genburori as Nova had jumped to a reply, "Like I told you before, I rather die then be a dog to some fascist!". "Well... if that's the case, I do infact have a way of making you join me. Do you think I just killed my fellow ninja for fun? There was a reason to his death, and a reason for this chakra you're sensing that's pouring from out of my body, and that reason was for me to obtain his bloodline limit" stated Genburori as Nova's eyes become filled with a scarce, yet stronger gut feeling as he spoke, "You... can absorb the bloodline limitations of others!?" he asked as Genburori replied, "Yes... why ofcourse. That in itself... is my OWN bloodline limit!". Nova's expression remanes as it was as he asked, "But... how is that possible!?". Genburori replied, "I'm a one of a kind original... as my birth defect became my power. The cellular structure within my blood is able to reformat, and send itself through the walls of my veins, transmitting a sense of pain I'm now immuned to by relaying the data from the nerves to my brain. As I envelope my hands by chakra, I create an opening, or a wound to my bloodstream, and use the chakra again to kill and immobilize my prey. During that time, after creating an opening wound in another, I intake their blood in my own body. The cells in my stream then attack and absorb it within a glimpse of a second, as if each cell was a vicious beast, absorbing, and sending through to the nerves with new data. It sort of works like illnesses the immunities in our bodies can't fight... except my immunities always will win, unless there's a strong enough disease out there I'm unaware of that will cause me some terrible damage. I'm sure you could of imagined the type of pain I've gone through, growing since a child... and getting a cold, having it send a constant pain in my body tenfold of what a normal human would have, fighting to live from just those simple illnesses, but thanks to pure will, I was able to fight, and make my curse a gift, and it always helped me get I want...". Nova stares to him, slightly shocked, but expressionless. "All of this... yet you choose to use it for the wrong reasons. You can be someone great, but you choose to be someone to hate instead. I'm sorry, but I can't allow you to live any longer. You're dead!" screamed Nova as he charged forward at Genburori, throwing punch after punch as Genburori had been slapping each throw away. Nova then quickly spun down to the ground, flipping forward, delivering an upside double kick into the chin of Genburori as he gets knocked back, breaking through a closet as he was stuck on a coat rack. Genburori shakes it off as Nova charged, delivering punch after punch with a fierce intensity as they were delivered to Genburori's abdomen. Genburori then began glowing a tad more than he had as he screamed, blowing apart the closet, and throwing Nova head first across the room in a omnipotent light, slamming him into the mirror by the door that had shattered and bloodied Nova's entire back as slivers of it reflected his blood as they stuck within his flesh. "Gah! You bastard!" yelled a bloody and badly injured Nova as he staggers on his feet. Genburori walks out of the dismantled closet and seemed to flash to Nova's position in a glimpse, as if he teleported, but he had apparently used a wind element jutsu to enhance his speed. Nova falls as he staggers down from the intensive winds created by Genburori's speed. Genburori then raises his fist. "You did well. No one has ever been able to get me down, and you managed to throw me down in to a closet... but unfortunately, it's now going to cost you. Join me... or like I said, I'll use a method in which you certainly will have no choice" stated Genburori, impressed by Nova's power. "There is no way... you will be able... to force me to join..." hesitantly and painfully spoke Nova. "Well, you can't say I didn't warn you" stated Genburori as he placed his fist down to his side. He smiled... and then winked at Nova as Genburori rushed to the stairs, making his way up. Nova's eyes sharpen, remembering that his dear, Katrice is still up there in the attic! Then... quickly... he just realized that he had killed that ninja who had a bloodline limit, and after realizing and being explained what Genburori's bloodline limit is, Nova realized... Genburori can sense Katrice! "NO!!" yelled Nova as he stood up, rushing up the stairs to a slowly walking Genburori as Nova grabs him by the shoulder, but within a a second, Genburori slaps him to the side, all the way through the banister to the side of the stairs as he had landed back first on the ground, inputting the shards of the mirror in to his back even deeper in an intensive pain and omnipotent display of detestment. Nova screams terribly as the blood spouts from his body. He begins coughing up blood quite badly as his vision becomes blurry. He walks it off as he walks slowly, limping and dragging his body up the stairs, watching Genburori make his way to the upper hallway. "Hmm.. this new power is a bit difficult to narrow in on still. It needs some geting used to... now where can she be?" thought Genburori as he looked in the bedroom that had an open door to it. Suddenly, a quick thud was heard as Genburori went flying in to the wall at the other end of the hallway. Appearing from within the bedroom, Toro had appeared walking out, smirking as he charged at Genburori. Genburori shook it off as he stood up, but quickly, Toro had leaped forward, slamming his feet down as he flipped, screaming, "Shishou Hasu!(Master Lotus!)" as he planted his right foot first to the chest of Genburori, uppercutting with his left foot into his chin, and then flipped 360 degrees in to a side-kick that blew Genburori down the hallway with a stream of blood flowing from out of his mouth. As Genburori hit the wall, he staggered forward a bit, spewing more blood from his mouth. "You're not what I was sensing... who the hell are you, and why couldn't I feel your presence!?" asked Genburori in a shocked aggression. "His name is Toro... and he's been my best friend since I can remember. You couldn't use that stolen bloodline limit to sense him because Toro... has no chakra at all. He's a master of Taijutsu and practiced under Amegakure's elite Jounin, Kawa Shikijou; "The Purist of Rain" - The elite ninja that once battled the Nidaime Hokage of Konohagakure with nothing but Taijutsu, and managed to end the fight in a draw. Not only that, but Toro is extrordinarily flexible, and weighs about double that of a typical Taijutsu ninja, so his attacks are two times more devestating" spoke Nova as he appeared with his head finally reaching the top of the stairs as he made it to the hallway, limping to Toro's position. Genburori whiped some blood from his mouth as he smirked, walking forward. "So... a Taijutsu user? That's all? You're not so special. Without the ability to manipulate chakra, you've lost this fight" spoke Genburori with a sarcastic attitude, seeming quite non-chalant of the situation. "Just because I can't use chakra, does not mean I won't kill you" stated Toro as Nova looked to him, smiling. Genburori smirked sarcastically as he quickly shot forward towards the two foes as Toro's trained eye tried to keep up, but the speed became more intense than that of anyone he's ever faced. Suddenly, Genburori appeared behind Toro, showing off a fistful of glowing chakra as he shot it into the spine of Toro, ripping through his spinal column and shredding his bones outwards in to shreds in a massacre and bloody display as it shot from out of him, spewing all over himself and Nova. Toro fell to his knee's as Genburori released him from his clutches. Toro gasped in quick agony as blood shot out like vomit from his mouth. Genburori smiled as he held a fragment of spine in his right palm that was full of chakra as Nova screams, "TORO! NO... NO WAY! TORO, GET UP! PLEASE! GET UP!". Toro then quickly fell dead upon the wood floor in the hallway of Nova's home. Nova's limp and brutalized body had been seen shaking slightly with widened eyes and an open, gaping mouth. "He wasn't as strong as he seemed. Nova, you yourself have more potential than him. Just because he has no chakra and I couldn't sense his presence means he got a away with a cheap shot on me... but Nova... you... you have the power to surpass that easily. I feel it in you, but you seem to not be fluent in the art of combat. Join me, and the power of our union will be omniopently beautifully" spoke and stated Genburori as Nova had just whispered gently beneath his breath, "You're just a beast... a beast with a mental issue" as his eyes narrowed sharply, glowing quite brightly now as they seem to be changing colors, becoming an off-set green, almost like turqoise. Suddenly, a thud was heard in the ceiling...

Katrice is seen in the attic as she looks to a chair she had accidently knocked over as she gasps, holding his mouth to keep quiet as she thinks to herself, "Oh no...! Did he hear!?". "AHHHHHH!" screamed Katrice as the attic door was blown upward as a bowling ball-like chakra flew further up, crashing through the ceiling. Genburori is seen from below now as Nova screams, "NO! KATRICE! SHIT!". Genburori jumps up to the attic in a quick, swift leap, landing after the blown attic door on the floor. "Shit!" yelled Nova as he ran forward, jumping up, too, but he was kicked down by Genburori. Nova fell flat on his back as Genburori was seen performing a handseal. Nova watches for a second as he regains his footing as Genburori quickly yelled, "Daichi Fujin!(Solid Earth Seal!)" as he planted his palm on the wood boards beneath his feet as a sudden rumble was heard and felt shaking the house. Nova falls back a bit as stone and dirt form a solid cage around the attic as it pierced through half the house, using minerals and materials from beneath the ground, underneath the house. Nova gets slapped back by a wall of stone that had shot up like a spike as blood shot from his already bloodied lips. "NOVA!!" screamed Katrice, unseen by Nova as her voice was slightly diluted by the echoes of the tearing house and formation of Genburori's insane seal. "KATRICE!" yelled Nova as the rumbling quickly stopped as he was seen pushed up against the wall by the seal of Earth that had penetrated his home. He remained stuck as Genburori was heard laughing outloud in a proud, dominant echo behind the wall of rock above Nova's head as it caused a few crumbling pebbles to fall down. Genburori had then walked up slowly to Katrice as she's seen covered in dust and tears, crawling back away from the feet of Genburori as she hits the end of the attic. Genburori stands still as he just stares blankly at Katrice for a moment. Genburori than voiced over Katrice's screams as he yelled through the massive and thick wall of Earth, "Nova! I'm gonna cut a deal with you! Are you listening?" stated and asked Genburori as Nova yelled back, "If you touch Katrice, I swear I will have your fucking head, you bastard!". Genburori replied, "Ah, so I guess you can hear me, huh? Well... in that case, I'm gonna cut a deal with you. Now pay attention..." as Katrice is seen shaking in the corner, curious as to what Genburori was talking about. Genburori continues to speak as Nova smirked with aggression. "...I will allow this woman I sensed all along live her life, as long as you become the lead captain of my temple, but... in order for this deal to be made, I will take the woman you apparently have your heart set on and leave to my temple in the Northern part of Amegakure, within the Kumogun temple. When you decide what's best for this young woman and yourself, i'll be waiting there for you, and you will be greeted with respect. You will train that potential of yours, and after doing some work and missions with me and the rest of the temple, I will give you your life back. If you deny this deal, your woman will die right now, and I will make sure her screams are heard loudly enough for you to hear, unable to move and defensless as you are, so choose!" requested and stated Genburori as Nova had stayed silent for a few moments with a tear gently dripping down his turqoise colored eyes. "Just let her live... please... Genburori" begged Nova as Genburori had replied, "I'll take that as my answer, and this woman will come with me. We'll be waiting... Nova-teichou!". Genburori then ran to the girl, grabbing her and throwing her over his shoulder as he punched through the wall of rock, creating a hole to the outside as he leaps out, landing roughly as Katrice's abdomen smacked on Genburori's shoulder bone quite hard, coughing as she did. Genburori walks to the wagon he had arrived to the house in and throws Katrice in the back, placing seal tags around the doors and walls, making sure she couldn't get out. Genburori sat up front, leaving the battered and beaten Nova alone as he's seen looking down with depression pressed in his eyes and lips as they narrowed. This struggle... is far from finished.
Three days had passed as Nova is seen limping out of his house through the missing door, looking around as he's shown bandaged up all around with blood leaking through. His saddened and lost willed eyes looked around at a nearly destroyed village. "Katrice..." thought Nova as he shed a single tear from his right eye. The pain that was mental seemed to be far more severe than that of his physical wounds that were seen from the outside. A battle was still taken place, but this one was in the head of Nova. What will his decision be, and what is there to do now? "To get Katrice back..." is what Nova thought as he's seen walking the road that leads out of the destroyed village he had lived. As he reached the exit area, Nova turns around, looking over to the village as if he believes this is the end of something, like a final view of the village he loved his dear Katrice in, as he turns forward, walking out of the village as the sun seems to be shining down brightly on his body.

Nova is seen walking the lonely and difficult path towards the distant horizon that had seemed grey as a droplet of rain fell from the heights of the clouds that cry in a sense of misery. As he continues walking, the droplet of rain had become a storm, pouring down harder than most storms would allow as Nova had become drenched, dripping wet as he continued on with the same content and unattentive expression he had been plagued with for days. As Nova's face becomes visible, we see the water dripping down his face, as one, gentle tear slowly defragments from his brown right eye.

A few unmarked hours had passed as Nova was seen standing in the pouring rain, looking towards a small house out in the empty road. As he decided to walk towards it, he realized it was a local private store for groceries. He walked towards the door, but hesitantly stopped, turning to the right as he walked towards the side of the store, being blanketted by the roof that expanded from the side of the wall. "Hurry! To the back!" yelled a voice as the ringing bells of the store doors had chimed as if someone had exitted it, unknown as to what the alarming sounds were as another voice shot out as it had replied, "Alright! You got all the cash!?". "Yeah! Let's move before they call someone on us!" replied the voice as the two men had turned the corner to the store, making their way towards where Nova was as he had seen two young teens with a handful of loot and food. Nova stood there, looking at them through the corner of his eyes as his head was tilted down. The two young men had then passed him, though as the other ran off, the one left behind had stopped in front of Nova, turning his head and looking at the injured, vulnerable looking man. Nova tilts his head up slowly, staring to the young man. "Chiku! What're you doing!? Let's go!" yelled the young man that had already ran passed Nova as the one standing in front of him walks up to Nova, replying, "One second... I'm gonna get me some more easy cash". The other young man looks to him quite hesitantly and impatient, wanting to leave as he watched on, seeing his friend stop in front of Nova's current position. "Hand me everything you got on you, and I'll let you go with your life!" yelled the young man as he discarded a kunai, holding it up as he waited for Nova to give him his belongings. "Didn't you hear me!? I said-" spoke Chiku as he was interrupted by a quick punch by Nova into his abdomen, knocking him on the ground as he dropped his kunai. "If you make a threat to kill someone... you better do exactly that, otherwise, you'll end up in this situation" spoke Nova slowly and depressingly, showing a much different side of him as Chiku yelled, "That's it, you bastard! I'll kill you!" as he got up, running towards Nova as Nova had side-stepped the punch he had thrown, sweeping his feet behind him, splashing the puddle beneath his feet up in the air as he spun back, grabbing the kunai as he quickly raced forward with such an intense speed that Chiku didn't even have a chance yet to turn his back. As Nova approached, he spun the kunai around his middle finger, catching it in his palm as he stuck it in the back of the neck of this young thief. The blood spurted out of him, shooting all over the clothing of Nova as he retracted the kunai from the young thief's flesh. Nova then pushed his body to the ground as he struggled for air, being tortured alive by the pain and massive loss of blood as it drained from his mouth. "Oh shit!" yelled the other young thief as he began running off. Nova turns, looking to him as his eyes brightly transform in to that odd colored turqoise again, widening them with a scarce rage as a slow forming aura of chakra had been encircling his body identitcal to the color of his transformed eyes. He then ran forward with an intense speed, whipping back the chakra that had been seen leaking from his body as he chases the thief down, screaming in rage as he throws his palm forward, creating a tentacle-like stream of chakra at him that wrapped around the thiefs body, stopping him in his tracks as his flesh begins to burn. Suddenly, the control Nova had seemed to have lost had snapped back in a quick flash as his eyes blinked back to that dark color they traditionally are. The chakra then faded as Nova stopped his chase. As the chakra vanished, the thief was released from the hold of the chakra he had been covered in as he falls to the ground screaming in agony with terribly serious burns that had his flesh shredded in pieces, hanging off his body as the skin dangled. Suddenly, the rain had stopped as Nova thought to himself, "What's happening to me...?", walking off again, following the original path as he passed the store. As he walked off, the authorities quickly came to the scene, splitting up and aiding to the badly injured thief and the now dead body of the one named Chiku. "He's... He's a monster!" yelled the young thief left with his burns as was shortly heard, going unconscious.

In an unknown, dark room with the remains of the dead around her, Katrice was seen cuddled on the floor, hugging her knee's as the squeeking hinges to a door was heard whispering anxiety in the throat of Nova's beloved as light shined in the room, showing a door as Genburori had entered. He walked up to the dirty, baggy-eyed Katrice. "Have you gotten any sleep, my dear?" asked Genburori as Katrice stayed silent. Suddenly, her stomach had rumbled intensively as silence overtook the two. "Hmm, I see we forgot to feed you these past few days. My, my... where has my head been? You don't even have the energy to speak right now, do you?" stated and asked Genburori sarcastically as he approached Katrice even closer within a foots distance. Katrice tries getting out from her position as she tries holding herself up by the concrete walls around her. Genburori then kicks her back down as she sounds a grumble from her throat as if she was trying to speak while making solid impact with the floor. "No, no, no... we can't have you trying to escape. Anyway, I came to give you the decision I had come to. It regards you, and I feel it's not a very accurate decision on my part, but I'm not one to let others suffer" stated Genburori as he looks around the room, looking at the skulls and dead corpses around them, as he suddenly said, "...or maybe I am the type to let them suffer" as he began laughing. Katrice began crying as Genburori smiled. "This decision I'm talking about... is this!" stated Genburori as he had smacked his foot on the head of Katrice as she moaned in a screaming agony, trying to push his foot off of her, not having the strength to do much, or even build any adrenaline. Genburori then stomped her face hard, cracking her jaw as her head smacked the concrete ground below her as a quick image of Nova and her are seen in her head of them both holding each other's hand, smiling as their eyes shine brightly in to each other. Genburori is then seen stomping down on Katrice's face again, cracking her nose to pieces, flattening it as blood drains from her mouth as she moans in agony as a quick flashback like before appears in her head of her and Nova are seen holding each other in their bed as Nova is heard quietly whispering in her ear, "I love you... Katrice". Genburori is seen again now as he looks down on a nearly unconscious Katrice. "I'll tell Nova it was a quick death when the time comes, so say good-bye to this world now, you little shit!" yelled Genburori as he raised his leg up, readying to stomp her down again. Katrice then quickly glances pictures of her memories of Nova and her wrestling around on the grass, having fun, as another image is seen of them only half their current age, giving each other a kiss that had seemed like their first. As she opens her bloodied eyes, she looks to Genburori, as she reflects a quick moment's past of her and Nova as small children, going back and forth on a swing, as she pictured the young Nova say, "I love you...". Genburori's foot had slammed down, scattering Katrice's head on the ground, breaking her skull open as the blood slowly poured from her head, killing her in a dirty, torturous and disgusting way. Genburori smiles as he just quietly looks to Katrice's corpse, walking away.

On the path he had been walking, Nova had been seen, as quickly, a sharp pain was felt in his heart as he fell to one knee, holding his chest as his eyes squinted tightly. "Wh- What is this...pain?" thought Nova as he stood back up, shaking it off as he continued on walking.

Many hours had gone by as Nova had been seen in the dark, early morning making his way through the woodlands he found himself in as he saw a glowing light of fire in the distance. Nova continued towards it. As he made his way to the odd light, he had exitted ther woodlands, seeing the Kumogun temple as sticks of flames were at each side of the main door, realizing it was the glow he had seen just moments before. Ninja then quickly fell from above, appearing in front of Nova as he gets in a defensive stance. "Ah, Nova-teichou. Genburori-sama has been expecting you. Follow us" spoke one of the ninja as they make there way in to the temple. As they take him down a path of red carpet to a set of stairs, a familiar chair was seen with it's back turned. "Genburori-sama! Nova-teichou has arrived!" yelled out the ninja as Genburori had stood up from the chair, turning around as he looked over to Nova. "Like I promised... the woman will be yours aslong as you serve me until I say you're dismissed. Understood?" stated and asked Genburori as Nova had stood silently, replying with a nod of agreeance as he had asked, "Can I see her?". "I'm sorry, but she isn't here. I had her taken away from here last night just incase you did some snooping and decided to leave with her. I may respect my allies, but I don't trust any of them" replied Genburori. Nova turns his head to the side in anger. "Don't worry. If it's one thing you can rely on, it's to rely on my words, for they're the truth" stated Genburori. "I'm gonna help you learn a little about yourself, and allow you the training you need to become a stronger killer for me. Please follow me..." stated Genburori as he walked down the small set of stairs, going to a door to his right as Nova had followed. "Katrice... I will get you back... I promise I will. I will sacrifice my soul for you, and kill the person I am just to see your presence again. I will hold you as tight as I always had, and I will treasure each and every day like it was the first time we kissed. Your beauty will remain only in my memories for now, but they will never disipate. Forever... I'll love you".

About just over three years had passed, and Nova was seen looking as we know him, going down the stairs behind the back of the building as he entered a dark, smelly room full of bugs as he entered, looking around at the concrete surroundings as he walked forward, checking up on an imprisoned man as he saw him hanging from chains on the wall, dead. Nova's eyes twitched a little as he began walking away to report that the hostage had been dead, but suddenly, he closed his eyes, having a pain in his chest as he held on to the concrete wall, struggling to stand as his heart begins pounding, remembering what happened the time three years ago when walking the paths from his village when this had happened. This time, Nova decided to figure out what's entering the pain as he looks around as his senses begin vibrating throughout his entire body. As he turns, he looks over to the bones and carcasses laid on the ground as he see's a set of old bones in the corner with a shattered jaw detached. He walks up to it, lead by an unknown power as he looks down at it's hands, noticing the ring on it's finger as he stood there silent a moment, thinking to himself as he suddenly came to a thought, "That ring... It's... Katrice's... I gave that to her... when I asked her to marry me... Why? Why? How can this be? Have I been lied to all these years!? Katrice... you've been dead... all of this time... all of this time I killed my own being, I've been doing it just for the benefit of that BASTARD!? I SWEAR... I WILL KILL YOU... GENBURORI!". Nova looked down, tearing from both eyes as he palmed his own face, sniffling in agony and pain as he stayed close to the bones of his once beloved, Katrice. "I can throw away my life trying to kill him now... but I don't want to take the chance and die in vane... so I will play your little game a little longer until I am able to kill you for sure. I will train hard, and become someone you don't ever wanna fuck with... GENBURORI!!! YOUR LIFE IS MINE FOR THE TAKING!!!"

A few hours later, Nova is seen in a red room he had called his home since being a member of the Kumogun. As he is seen laying back in his bed, he thinks to himself... "Katrice..." as he remembers a time where they sat on their downstairs couch, holding one another by the fire place, smiling and curving his lips in joy unlike he had ever done the past few years since this all started. He then thinks to himself, "Toro..." as he remembers a time as kids when Nova was being picked on by the kids in the village he used to live in. Nova had been kicked to the ground as he started crying as a really young child by the name of Toro had came along, pushing the kids away with punches that threw them back with tears in their eyes as they ran off as a young child Katrice was seen standing a short distance away, watching on as Toro had lifted Nova up. "Are you okay, Nova-kun!?" called out Katrice as she ran forward, looking to him with puppy dog eyes. "I'm fine. Thanks Toro-kun. Those kids are so mean!" spoke Nova as toro nodded in agreeance, silent as ever. Katrice replied, "Yeah! Really mean! Just because they come from noble families, they think they run everything! They stole my lunch and drank my box drink just the other day! I hate them!". "Don't worry Katrice. One day, i'll become strong enough to protect myself and everyone around me! I'm gonna show people like them what it means to be strong! You'll see!" stated Nova in reply to Katrice. Katrice smiled and hugged Nova as she asked, "Nova-kun! Wanna go on the swings by my house!? I'll get some box drinks and we'll have a picnic!" stated and asked Katrice as Nova replied, "Sure! sounds like fun! Toro-kun, wanna come?" stated and asked Nova as Toro replied, "Sorry. I have to train, otherwise Sensei will get mad". "Okay then! It's just me and you then Katrice! I'll see you later, Toro!" spoke Nova as he ran off with Katrice as she had also yelled, "Bye, Toro-kun!".

A few minutes later, on the swingset, Katrice took a sip of her box drink as she asked Nova, "When you grow up, do you wanna be my husband!?". Nova had taken a sip of the box drink as he spit it out of his mouth, shocked at the question that had been asked as he replied, "Eww! No! I don't ever wanna get married! I hate girls!". "Then why do you hang out with me, huh!?" asked Katrice with attitude. "You're not a girl! You're just my friend!" replied Nova as Katrice had yelled outloud, "WHAT!? NOT A GIRL! THAT'S IT!" as she jumped off the swing. "Uh-oh!" screamed out Nova as he jumped off the swing and ran away as Katrice began chasing him. "I'LL GET YOU! BELIEVE ME! I'M GONNA BEAT YOU SO HARD!" yelled Katrice.

While finishing his reflection on the past, Nova had been seen still laying in his bed as he thought to himself, "Such a simple life... if only I can get it all back... but now my dreams are scattered forever. All I can do is get revenge for everyone... and I promise... I will". Nova closed his eyes and turned to his side, attempting to go to sleep to hopefully erase his thoughts for a while.

Back in the present, Nova is seen a short distance from Symone, Renji, and Mikomi as he looks back to them as they sleep. "Renji-kun... I understand your feelings. You deserve his death as well as me... and Symone... so young... and such a big world, yet I was able to find someone just like me. I'm sure your ability has caused you a lot of pain. All I can hope for is that you are strong enough to go through it, because you... you have something I don't. A protector... and someone you love. Mikomi... take care of this young girl" thought Nova as he decided to start walking forward, out of the woodlands while everyone was asleep, going towards the direction of the Kumogun temple on his own...

Katrice's voice: ["I love you, Nova..."
Toro's voice: ["You will become powerful, and you will protect all you care about"
Katrice's voice: ["Nova... we're having a baby! Isn't that wonderful!?"
Toro's voice: ["We'll always be friends, and I will be there protecting you when you need it most"
Katrice's voice: ["Yes... yes I WILL marry you!"
Katrice's voice: ["I still love you... and I'll always love you... forever..."
Nova's voice: ["...and ever..."
