Liz stared at her painted nails silently, leaning on her hand as she listened to Patty finish her story. The blonde was now resting her head on the table as she smiled softly, murmuring, "That was a really fun day..." She trailed off as she closed her eyes slowly and whispered, "If only...Kid could have more of those days. Y'know?" Liz nodded softly as she moved to brush a few strands of her sister's hair away from her face. She smiled softly as she replied, "I do too, Patty."
The brunette watched for a few moments, noticing how completely exhausted she was. She must have stayed up all night trying to think of a way to help Kid today. She smirked as she sat back in her chair, running her hands through her hair. She could remember the last time she had seen Patty so exhausted and that was maybe a year ago, maybe even a bit farther in the past. However, it was a memory like this that would forever remain inside of her skull. After all, it was one of the best memories she had.
She could remember it as clear as day. The three had all run off on a mission, but not an ordinary mission. No. This mission was not ordered by SID, Spirit, Stein, or even Lord Death for that matter. Instead, this missoin was ordered by Death the Kid, a mission that he swore to complete.
It took them nearly a week and a half to find the man that Kid wanted dead so badly and during the battle, Liz could remember how desperate and crazed with anger Kid had become. He had pushed his weapons past their limits, tired them out, and yet still tried to fight the man he had been searching for, for years. It was this man, the only man that had seemed to slip away from everyone, stayed under the radar, that Kid wanted dead more than anything.
Liz had never seen Kid act in such way, never seen him lose his cool over a single person who, for once, did not have an issue with symmetry. No, Kid was not angered by this man's symmetry, by the asymmetrical things he had created in his path, but instead, he was angered by this man...because he was the man that had come after his father and his weapons time and time again. It was this man, known as Kei, who was responsible for the death of many Meisters whom Lord Death was friends with, for kidnapping Kid and handing him over to the crazed doctor that tortured him, and he was the one responsible for sending the "almost Kishin" after all three of them, sending Liz and Patty into grave amounts of pain. Not only that, but it was this very man that was able to take down Kid, beat him in a battle, and send his weapons in critical condition.
It was this man that had sent Kid over the edge and Liz would never forget that. Would never forget the day that Kid had gone crazy with angerand the day he wanted nothing more than bloodshed.
The Great Kei is the Culprit!
Has Kid Really Gone Crazy?
"Kid, I don't think this is such a good idea! Remember what happened last time?"
"Shut up, Liz! No one was asking you!"
Death the Kid ran through the pouring rain as quickly as he could, watching as man in front of him, dressed in a black trench coat, tried to escape him. This was their second time taking on this man and Kid was NOT about to let him escape once again. He was pissed, no, more than pissed! He was about ready to murder someone else if he did not catch this man. Thankfully, however, he had caught him once again...and would not allow him to escape.
He murdered Meisters, in front of my Father! He made a fool out of him! He sent the doctor and the Kishin after me and not only that he...h-he hurt Liz and Patty! I will never forgive him for that! Never! NOT EVER!
Taking a sudden right down an empty street, Kid lifted his pistols and began to fire rapidly, screaming something incoherent over the gunfire and rainfall. The man turned around instantly to avoid the attack, but was sent flying to the other end of the alley. He slammed into a wall and stood up on shaky legs, darting into a building beside him.
Kid immediately followed after him, feeling his adrenaline pumping 1,000 mph through his veins and his breathing picking up rapidly. He was beginning to lose focus, beginning to clear his mind of all "smart" ideas. All he focused on was the man and the many different ways he could murder him.
Entering a room, Kid froze and felt his eyes widen to the size of saucers. Trapped inside of a freezer, he could easily see the dead bodies of the Meisters Kei had killed; hanging from many different areas. Grimacing and clenching his teeth together, Kid lifted his pistols as he screamed, "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU? HUH?" He spun around in circles, searching for the man frantically, before growing too irritated and firing like a mad man.
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU, YOU BASTARD?"
"Kid, calm down!" Liz shouted.
"SHUT UP!" Kid snapped back, stopping for an instant as he panted heavily, screaming, "WHERE ARE YOU, KEI? SHOW YOURSELF! BE A GODDAMN MAN!"
"Hey kid, look out behind you, would'ja?"
Spinning around quickly, Kid came face-to-face with Kei, watching as the man headbutted him harshly. Kid fell to the ground, but instantly stood up, aiming his pistols at the man, taking a quick glance at the cleaver in his hand, and fired visciously. He continued to fire at the man, screaming loudly in his frusturation and desperation to kill this man. "I REFUSE TO LET YOU LIVE!" He shouted, continuing with his screaming.
Suddenly, the man lunged at Kid and within seconds, he slammed his fist into his chest, watching as Kid hit the ground with a mighty bang and both of his pistols slid from his hands, to the other side of the room. Sitting up slowly and placing a hand to his chest, trying to breathe, Kid glared at the man and growled, "You rotten...disgusting...v-vile creature!" He stood up and charged for the man, lifting his fist and slamming it into the man.
Kei was taken aback slightly as he wobbled backwards and growled, "So you can still fight even without your weapons. Interesting." He ran for Kid, screaming loudly, and sliced Kid's arm open. Kid did not move, his golden eyes staring at the man as he glared with hatred.
"I WILL kill you, Kei, do you understand me?" He growled, grabbing the redhead by his throat suddenly and slamming him to the ground. He continued to choke the man as he shouted, "I HOPE YOU'RE READY TO DIE, YOU BASTARD!" However, Kei had other plans as he slammed both of his fists into Kid's sides, watching as Kid fell to the ground, gasping for air. He stood up slowly and looked over at Liz and Patty, who were unconscious on the floor.
"Worked them to the bone, didn't you?" Asked Kei, snickering as he walked over to them. Kid tried to grab him, but failed miserably, as he snapped, "L-Leave them alone!"
However, Kei continued with his course and Kid instantly stood up, tottering over to the man as he grabbed the cleaver he had dropped, and tossed it. The cleaver slammed into the wall beside the man and Kei instantly whipped around, glaring at Kid. "You rotten piece of shit!" He snapped, charging at Kid. Kid simply grinned as he dodged the attack and slammed his foot into his back, watching as the man fell onto his face. Standing back up, the redheaded man grabbed Kid's shoulders and slammed him against a wall, listening to the sounds of bone cracking. He grinned maliciously as he left Kid for a brief moment, and then returned with his cleaver.
Yet, he was not fast enough. Kid was already back on his feet, coming at Kei, and he grabbed the cleaver from his hands and injected the blade into his arm. Kei screamed in agony as he toppled backwards, clutching his arm. Kid instantly grabbed Liz and Patty, forcing them into weapon form, and aimed the pistols at Kei. He let loose hundreds of bullets as he watched Kei try and avoid them, but fail miserably. It was at this time, that Kid heard Patty call out, "Kid, please, stop! We're exhausted!" Kid grimaced as he tossed the two pistols over his shoulders, listening to the girls change back. He then lunged at Kei and slammed his fist into the bloody man's face.
Liz and Patty were instantly beside him, trying to remove him from Kei and calm him down, but he refused to listen, shouting, "He needs to die! He deserves it! LET ME GO!" Elbowing the two girls in the stomach, he grabbed the meat cleaver once again and raised it above his head, staring at Kei's frightening face and smirking violently, "Say your good-byes, you rotten bastard!"
"Wait! There's a bomb!" Kei shouted suddenly, panting heavily as he lifted his hand in a feebled attempt to block any attacks.
"Is there?" Kid questioned, dropping the cleaver and returning to his weapons. Once again, he forced them into transformations, and then forced them into resonance. Their souls were beginning to reject each other as Kid cringed in agony, his angry weapons burning his arms. He took a few steps back as he panted heavily and stared at Kei through his blurred vision, whispering, "D-Death Cannon complete."
"WAIT, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Kei screamed, standing up as he continued, "IF YOU FIRE THAT THING AT ME, YOU'LL END UP KILLING EVERYONE HERE!"
Kid grinned as he began to smell his burning flesh, making him nauseas. "I would rather die than spend another day knowing that a foul, PUTRID SOUL LIKE YOU CONTINUES TO LIVE, ON THIS GODDAMN PLANET! DIE YOU BASTARD!" Slamming his pistols together and enticing a shout of pain from all three of them, he screamed loudly,"DEATH CANNON!"
Within seconds, the two attacks slammed into Kei, a small explosion, compared to the large explosion of fire that suddenly erupted within that building, sending everyone flying.
Liz, Patty, and Kid made it out of the mess with a few burns and cuts, but with more bruises than they could count. They all awoke on the same day, the 8th of that month, and began to discuss what had happened. In the end, their souls were stronger than ever before and Kid was finally able to witness life through a different pair of eyes. A pair of eyes that would hopefully, not allow him to make the same mistake he had on the day he had killed Kei.
