Tears streamed down the Pharaoh's face as he saw the former Protectors of Domino move closer towards his body. Sephiroth lifted his sword over his shoulder, preparing to strike. Chaos hovered over them, the full moon outlining the demon's frayed wings. Before they could move in for the kill, a bright light appeared over the large group, sending them to darker parts of the city. Chaos lowered to the ground, his wings wrapping around his body. Through the vale of light, Atem could see a winged figure. White angelic wings spread out, arms outstretched. A bird's head covered the face, which appeared to be a woman with golden eyes.
"Guardian Eatos?" the Pharaoh gasped as the woman moved closer to the Pharaoh, the light fading.
"It is I, my king," she replied, bowing. More tears were streaming down the Pharaoh's face, and soon, he was kneeling on the ground, sobbing. Eatos placed a hand on his quivering shoulder. "It's all right. Let your sorrow break free."
In the distance, Vincent stood watching them, the form of Chaos gone.
"There is something you must know, my king," Eatos whispered. "I am Kairi and Toby's deceased mother."
"Their mother?!" he inquired, leftover tears still streaming down his cheeks. Eatos nodded lightly, a soft smile crossing her face. "But why haven't you stopped them from killing me?"
"They are under the influence of the Black Water Mist," she replied, gripping her sword. "I cannot stop them, unless the mist is destroyed forever." Turning her head, she heard the infected move in once more. "I shall do what I can to help you, my king." Sephiroth landed in front of the Pharaoh once more, his cat-like emerald eyes narrowing.
"Brian," he muttered, motioning to the Pharaoh's guardian. "Kill him." The infected servant nodded, pulling out his shotgun. Aiming it at the Pharaoh's heart, Atem closed his eyes, waiting for his death. A gunshot rang out in the air, but Atem didn't feel any pain. Opening his eyes, he saw Vincent pointing Cerberus at Sephiroth, barrel smoking. Sephiroth removed his gloved hand over his stomach, revealing a bullet hole.
"Now, to get rid of the Black Water Mist," Vincent murmured, aiming for the flask in Sephiroth's left hand. Before he could fire, Sephiroth grabbed his sword in his right hand, stabbing the Pharaoh in the chest. He gasped out in pain, moving backward into Guardian Eatos. Soon, Vincent shot off another bullet, shattering the flask.
"How dare you!" Sephiroth growled. "You ruined my plan!" Suddenly, another bright light pierced through the air. Eatos had her sword raised, dark violet wisps flying towards the blade. The citizens grasped their heads, their eyes becoming normal. Before Vincent could finish Sephiroth, he was gone, a black feather fluttering down from the sky. Vincent raced over to the Pharaoh, grabbing him before he could hit the concrete.
He opened his eyes lightly, a soft smile coming to his face.
"Vincent…" he whispered. "Thank you…" With that, he fell unconscious.
What will happen to the Pharaoh now that the Black Water Mist is gone? Find out in chapter six, Back to Normal.
