Lilia would definitely have survived the second game.. and Ash and Rion wouldn't have been erased….but sadly Lilia is dead and Rion and Ash too, so I guess the games and characters don't belong to me…

Summary
Cain makes it his mission to find Rita, while Spider searches for Nitro…. Sadly trouble is never far away when it comes to them….

Author's notes
The eight chapter... I can't believe it took me so long, I missed the two year anniversary by a month… grumbles I'm currently writing a oneshot which was inspired after talking endlessly with SapphireLights…

Reviewers from chapter 7
Thank you so much

SensiblyTainted: Thanks, I'm glad that you like it and don't worry there will be much more of Cain….

xicecreamx: Thanks, I'm happy to hear that and no it's not Dorothy's Ex-husband.. as for Lilia. Sadly she is dead and will stay it. Simply because she isn't aGalerian.. asfor the Lilia in the beginning. I think that was the one from the real world who called Rion… and I agree, Rion and Ash probably kissed so that all yaoi fans would swipe their credit cards...had I know they would kiss, it would have worked on me… is a yaoi/slash freak

dlight: Thanks, here is the new chapter….

Meestyna: Thanks and don't worry, I will finish it, even if I have to do it one armed…

galerian57: Thanks, here it is…

ShavezaThanks, I'm glad that you like Elsa, she is going to play an important role…as for Rion's little helper…Who knows….


Warnings
Violence and spoilers... please it's best if you know both games beforehand or have seen the movie..

Read and enjoy... oh and leave a review pretty please...because I need them to breathe and get better at writing…

Bye

Last chapter

Sighing he took the picture book from the nightstand. Elsa had probably been staying in Pat's quarters while he was unconscious. Opening the picture book he started to read Elsa's favorite fairy tale: Cinderella. She was perched in his lap and looked outside the window. It was an odd habit he decided, she always stared out of a window when he read her a story, perhaps she saw something he didn't.

He was halfway through the story, as he began to feel it. It was as someone had slammed a fist in his gut. And the pain didn't dim, it only grew worse. He halted and Elsa looked up at him. She gasped, why he didn't know and at the moment he didn't care. All he could think about was the pain, which was driving him towards insanity. In the distance he could hear a bell ringing. Then a sharp pain ripped through him and then darkness.

Chapter 8 Fortunate and unfortunate meetings

In the data world (Cain and Spider)

Cain looked around. Here he was, ready to get Rita and he couldn't find her. Sighing he looked around. No she wasn't there. Damn it, out of all places couldn't she have picked a better one! No! She had to pick Babylon Hotel.

The place was dreary and dirty and a dozens of other things he rather not named. Looking around he studied the main lobby. The place was taken from Rion's memories and the word 'gruesome' was not enough to describe the feeling he had at the moment. Carefully he stepped into a room. He had followed blood traces on the floor.

He froze, there inside the sink. A body.. a bloody body. He gulped and fought successfully the bile that was rising in his throat. Raising his hand, he mentally congratulated Rainheart. An artful death, fast yet more painful than many others. In the back there was a lever, out of curiosity, he used it. Seconds later the lights were out. Annoyed Cain tugged the lever again to bring the electricity back. The lever broke. Suppressing a curse Cain stalked back in the main lobby.

Great now he had no light either.

No, she isn't here either. I guess it's upstairs then.

Surprisingly the elevator still worked and he waited impatiently for the device to arrive. But something caught his eye, there right next to the elevator was a way downstairs. Perhaps he should check that one first but before he could make a decision, a crash was heard on the upper floor.

Cain frowned, that smelled like a trap. Shrugging, he stepped into the elevator and rode up to the third floor. Silence greeted him, opening the first door on the right. He peered inside. It was obvious that the room had belonged to a woman. Clothing was thrown onto the bed and a huge mirror was hanging on the wall. Make up was scattered on a dresser, definitely a woman's room. Question was where was the woman? There was an adjourning Bathroom, slowly he peeked around the corner and recoiled seconds later. Again he had to hand it to Rainheart, he certainly was creative.

Leaving the rooms behind he rode down to the second floor. More gruesome deaths, but no Rita. Opening the door to room 204, he stepped in to be thrown back by a wave of ..water? The blonde slammed into the wall. Wincing he looked up, then he smirked. The blue haired bitch was back. Ignoring that he was completely soaked he stood up. Aqua was leaning against one of the bookcases, which housed dozens of different drugs.

"Oh the boy toy, how sweet. Shall I finish what I started last time?" Again the sweet baby like voice, alone for that he wanted to see her dead. Growling he stood up, dusting his outfit off, as he did so and prepared to attack.

"Last time you looked better you know."

He was right. Aqua was paler than ever and her skin had lost it's translucent quality. Her hair was wild and looked like it hadn't been combed in ages. She looked sick, but it was not as if he cared. He readied himself, he knew he had to fight her. He wasn't disappointed. As Pat had said, she commanded water, not a very advanced form of Melatropin, like they had been suspecting.

A crash from behind sent him in action. He threw himself to the side as another wave of water flew his way. With the help of Melatropin he shielded himself. Rion had shown him how to form a shield a few days ago and a good thing that he did. Powering the Nalcon up, he threw the shield at her. She couldn't dodge in time and slammed against the wall. He wasted no time and used Breakaron. Now four years after it's creation, production had become somewhat easier. Blood splattered as her skin broke.

Electricity cackled and she screamed before launching compressed water, the size and speed of a fired canon ball, at him. Crouching down the water sailed past his head.. and punched a hole in the walls behind him. Seemed like he made the bitch angry. Again she compressed water but this time the ball was double in size and to make things worse he was in a narrow corridor with no chances of escape.

Making a motion with his hand he threw Nalcon at the water, which had no effect. The bitch laughed, she laughed at him. She would not live long enough to regret that particular action.

"Fool, you are as good as dead." Then she launched the water at him. He was ready though. He jumped, pushed himself away from the wall and in the air, flying over the ball of water. Before she could do anything, he fell through the opened doors into the elevator shaft. With a thud he crashed onto the 'roof' of the elevator. Ignoring the blood he coughed up, he scrambled up and opened the small trap door that every elevator, even the one in such a shabby hole, possessed. He slipped through it and shut it with his powers. Not a second later water crashed onto the elevator.

The doors were slammed open, bent outwards. Cain flung himself forward before rolling to his left. He could hear as the elevator was crushed. He didn't even pause before he took the stairs down into the room, where the heating system was. The room was empty save the system in the middle. He could hear her cursing and smiled. Looking onto the ground, his smile only grew wider. He had found a perfect room to ambush the bitch. Looks like it might become a good day after all.

Somewhere else in the data world

"This sucks."

"Nitro!"

"What? It sucks, besides it's your fault, that we are lost."

Spider sighed, women, he hated them. As it was his fault, that Nitro had chosen the old cemetery of Michelangelo city. He had never been here before so how the hell should he know his way around, besides every headstone looked the same anyway. Typical Nitro. Only the woman who cared for nothing would choose a graveyard as her sanctuary and resting place.

She had been in a mausoleum, the Steiner mausoleum to be precise. Sitting on the stone casket of Dr. Scott Steiner, she had thought about life and the fact, that she was apparently still existing. Spider wasn't surprised, after all Nitro had been born from sorrow. She hadn't cared about pain, joy or anything else. For her pain and pleasure were two sides of the same medal: Emotions she would never feel. Maybe now that would become better, when she started to live. He hoped so.

At least finding her had been easy, using his weak scanning ability, he had tracked her down without encountering the smallest sight of enemies. Better for him, since his fighting abilities were limited. Without Leo, his ever faithful pet spider he had no weapons to attack. Of course Pat had shown him how to inject PPEC's, but he hadn't been tested for power and rejection yet. After all not all Galerians could use all PPEC's. He had injected himself Nalcon, since that was the only drug all Galerians seemed to be able to use.

"I think it's somewhere near, Nitro?"

The woman stopped her rather uncharacteristic rant and her eyes followed in the direction his finger pointed. She almost couldn't believe it, Spider had for once found the right direction. The boy had not real sense for directions and had gotten constantly lost in the wide data world. How he had managed that was beyond her understanding?

"Duck."

It was only her instincts which saved Nitro from being fried. She hadn't registered the word Spider had yelled, no, the urgency and the fear in his voice had been enough. She threw herself aside. Landing between two rows of old cheap headstones, she crouched behind one. Peeking over the rim, she could see that Spider had .. attacked? .. a kid?! Yes kid, the boy couldn't be older than six, seven. He wore a green oversized green jumper and blue jeans. The hair was a dark shade of red and pretty messy, the skin was as white as one of those china dolls and the eyes were a dark emerald.

In his hands he clutched a teddy bear. Nitro wanted to laugh, the boy looked exactly like one of those innocent children, hell he was even shaking like a leaf.

"Yo…you.. have… to t. to . come w.. ith ..me.. my.. master.. wants you ..to.. please."

She wanted to snort and roll her eyes, but kept quiet, maybe it was an act and they were underestimating the brat. Spider had thrown a rather impressive dose of Nalcon at the young boy, who had lifted his teddy and blocked the attack without getting a scratch. She concentrated on the teddy. Damn it, the teddy was a digital concentration of particles, meaning it would act like Rion's shield would.

"If you don't come, Vision will have to hurt you. Vision don't want to hurt people."

Great the kid was even talking about himself in third person, what came next? The brat starting to talk with his teddy? It was the only fact missing for someone, who seemed to be completely fucked up. But Luck was on their side, the boy appeared to have an intact mind, as he opted not to talk to his plushy. It was worse, the plushy spoke itself. Spider was a bit dumbfounded and would regret the fact seconds later, as a wall of Red hit him.

"See that wasn't that difficult, will you come with me now?"

"We decline your generous offer."

The teddy was now floating on its own. It talked like it was human. How creepy. Nitro reacted and sent a fire chain at it, while Spider used his powers and created webs which slowed the mad teddy down. Then he manipulated the data stream to form his beloved exploding spiders, or at least tried to. Pity, that it didn't work. Spider couldn't create his little helpers.

"Nitro, I can't manipulate the data."

"Of course, you is can't. Master made sure."

Thoroughly annoyed Nitro formed a fire ball and threw it in the direction of the young brat. Without the teddy there to dodge, the child got hit. Satisfied that this kid was out of it, she joined Spider in battle again. Said person was in trouble, Spider had never been a fighter. How could he, when he consisted of all the good emotions, that Ash had left? He tried anyway, throwing doses of Nalcon at he teddy. Unsuccessful, but he tried.

Then Nitro joined him and together they presented a nearly unbeatable team, both knowing their weaknesses and strengths better than anyone else. Spider conjured webs and blocked the attacks while Nitro shot Red at the annoying plushy. From time to time they ducked behind headstones, before falling back into their routine. After more than two hours, the teddy finally made a mistake. Nitro exploited that and burned the damn plushy. The brat, who had woken from the depths of unconsciousness, cried over the burned pieces of wool.

Without waiting the two of them dashed towards the terminal, which to their luck worked immediately. A white light and they vanished.

Back to Cain

Cain cursed, something was wrong. He didn't know what though. He had used the room to prepare a trap for the blue haired bitch and so far everything went as planned. He had hotwired the heating system and manipulated the cable which provided the electricity. If everything went as planned, the bitch would be dead in a few minutes. Something was wrong though, he just didn't know what, and it was driving him crazy.

Then he felt it, pain.. all consuming blinding pain.. pain that was not his own.

Rion..!
