Chapter Eight: Memory Of A Faint Distance – And We Say Our Goodbyes To Each Other…

She opens her eyes, and find herself alone again until she sense a present of someone by her side. A girl was sleeping with her head on the bed.

"Valkyrie…chan?" Mikan was confused. She was getting images before she passed out, the part when she got stabbed.

"Is that…really…you…?"

Valkyrie began to get her senses and woke up, looking at Mikan with a slightly happiness. "Yeah…it's me…"

"Oh thank goodness your okay! I was getting worried about you. I had this vision that you attack me and stabbed me. Perhaps that's just a dream. By the way, what am I doing here anyway?"

"..."

"Mikan…about your vision, it wasn't a dream…" like lightning, those words struck her hard.

"No way…" after an awkward silence, Mikan had the courage to speak up. "Mikan, listen to me…"

"NO WAY! There's no way you could have—Urgh!" the nullifying girl started to feel intense of pain in her chest. She looks at and saw her chest was covered with bandages. "Be careful Mikan-chan. Here, let me help you'

Valkyrie gently lays Mikan down back to her back and sat right next to her.

"Please Mikan. Listen to me. As you know, all those visions that you saw wasn't a dream. It really happened. You've been asleep for nearly four days"

Mikan give her an unbelievable stare. Valkyrie proceeds soon after she knows that Mikan was listening to her.

"Both you and I know that we're apart of the experiment worked by the AAO. The aimed of this experiment is to create a weapon powerful enough for the AAO to destroy the Academy and to make profit in the other way. They also want to make this weapon obey everything that had been ordered so the leader chooses an Alice to be their mouse lab"

"I was the main component for the scientist to develop their research"

"My ability is what they really need. For making a weapon, they needed another component, which was a person who has an Alice that is identical to you…"

"So that means…"

"Yes. You are the other components that will complete this project"

Mikan was confused to know this. She had just realized the meaning behind the experiment, but there is something much worse that she hadn't know yet.

"But before you came in, the leader has made many failure experiments. Many other Nullification Alices were killed by that time. Your mo— I mean My Lady also one of the experiment component but since her main Alice isn't Nullification, she didn't filled the criteria that this weapon need"

"But…how come. All those people who had the same Alice as me…how come they died? I don't get it…"

"Mikan, listen carefully. Every nullification Alice users are called Mukouka. Do you remember every time you hear people called you that?"

"I do remember. The teachers, agents and many other people in this organization used to called my by that name. Why?"

"Every Alice who has Nullification as their Alice was considered as dangerous to the other Alices. The other was afraid of this type of Alice because they were afraid to loose their ability. Since they can nullify any kind of Alice, and it often unbalanced, they were labeled as a threat to others"

She stops for a moment.

"The Alice who has Nullifying Alice was a high ranked Alice user, since they can easily trump any Alice that they desire. All of them have Nullifying as their main Alice. What makes them much dangerous is…this Alice that they possessed can formed another Alice inside their body. This makes them as a multi-Alice user. Many types of Alice turn out from it but it may harm or help the host depending on what type of Alice it is. My Lady makes some powerful Alice from her ability but in cost, it will reduce her energy, physical weakness and great headache"

"But there's something that only you had that made you different from them"

"Something…different?"

"Making your own Alice works against yourself is forbidden, but in your case, you made it as easy as blinking your eyes. You have two Alices, your other Alice, the Alice to copy, steal, or erase someone Alice, is something that lies inside you since you've been born. You may not know about this but the AAO found out about it and put you on top of the list of candidate for the other component. Your criteria fit you exactly for that part

Valkyrie takes a deep breath before continuing.

"This may sound cruel, but for achieving the weapon, both of the components must be mixed. My Alice is manipulating someone's live so the effect will cause both of us to die due to exhaustion. This is when your come in handy. From the moment I stabbed you, I already channeled my Alice inside your body"

"But, what about the saber-liked weapon in your arm. Didn't you just say that the AAO implanted that for your protection?"

"Mikan, I haven't been completely honest to you…The saber weapon they implanted inside me is powered by nanotechnology. It acts as a medium for my Alice to get inside you. Once inside an Alice, the host will be filled with mine, she or he will have to nullify the side effect or else it will eat their life span. All the other candidates, except My Lady, who was labeled as component are a failure experiments and died constantly after they undergo the experiment. In some cases, they live but in such pain and agony until they die"

"If you've been wandering why you had survived, it was the fact that you had nullified my Alice completely and absorbed it into your body. You will also have my nano weapon that was implanted inside me"

"Valkyrie…why are you telling me all of this…Isn't it confidential to you?" asked Mikan. Her tears swelling in her eyes, waiting for the right moment to fall out. She knows something bad will happen and she doesn't like the sound of it.

"That's because…I'm going to die…"

...

"That's because…I'm going to die…"

Her words spoke in a low, weary tone but she hears every bit of it and was surprise by it.

"What do you…mean by…you're going to die?"

"Mikan Sakura. You are now declared as the perfect weapon made by the Anti Alice Organization"

She was shocked to hear the person in front her saying that she was a weapon.

"This may sound awkward to you, but you are the weapon the AAO has been dreaming of…It will take some time before you've become a Universal Alice"

She wrapped her arms around the girl in front of her that was holding her tears and spoke, "you are the weapon, and as your best friend, I'm telling you that I'm going to die…"

"But how come!" she couldn't handle it anymore and shed her tears. "How come you have to die?! You said to me that…sob…every time you…sob…used you Alice…it only reducing…sob…you physically…"

She wasn't sure whether telling the truth is really the best way for Mikan to know, but knowing that her time is almost done when she felt a sharp pain in her chest, Valkyrie had to tell her.

"Mikan-chan, please don't be sad…the truth is…I've used up all my Alice. I was glad that you can nullified it all"

"I'm-sob-not…strong enough for…sob…doing that…"

"No. My Lady, Yuka...she somehow knows how to force your Alice to its true potential. I remind you, please…don't be sad…"

"But…you are…sob…leaving me…I don't want…one of…sob…my best friend…to…sob…die"

Valkyrie's body started to disappear. Mikan hugs her back as if she doesn't want to let her go. Valkyrie saw this and smile weakly at Mikan, her time was about to end.

"Mikan, be careful of the AAO. You know, I was really happy for the time we spent together as friends. Remember this; I will always be by your side no matter what happened. Beside…" tears also falls from Valkyrie's crimson eyes.

She didn't expect this. But more importantly, she didn't expect the last words that Valkyrie said was the exact words her best friend once told her…

"Don't cry, your face just looks ugly when you cried…

And I liked it much better when you smiled because...it somehow...eased the pain that I've been holding…goodbye…Mikan-chan…"

"Valkyrie…chan…"

With the last word spoken, she vanished completely out of her side. Mikan sit at the edge of her bed and spoke the two words…

"Good…bye…

And we say our goodbyes to each other
"Don't worry, I will ease your pain"

"Before you do it, I want to tell you something"

"When I asked Jii-chan why I didn't have mom or dad, he always says' don't be sad, you still got me and your friends to cheer you..."

"..."

"Thanks…for being my mom…bye…"

A tear slip from her eye as her mom put her hand in front her eyes. A light shine trough the distance between them and engulf the room. After a while, the light slowly disappears and a girl lay unconsciously on the cold floor.

Author's Note: OOC...yeah I know...I think I make Mikan OOC here...Anyways, she didn't die. My big sis intended to change the story line by truly making her death a reality but thank god she didn't have the right password to enter my laptop..
