Blaze knew this day was coming and he was sort of happy it came when it did. He was finally going to take down the man who had taken his entire childhood. He never wanted to become an assassin. He never wanted to become someone who ended people's lives because someone told him that they needed to die. He had been so blinded by the fact that this man took care of him that he wasn't able to see him for what he was. A murder, and a person who would stop and no lengths to get what they want. Blaze didn't respect this type of person, and he couldn't believe he ever wanted to call this person his father. He couldn't believe that he actually cared and protected a man who thought that a life was killing was more fun than a life of happiness and joy. Blaze didn't even care about protecting Jack, even though he really cared about him. He thought this whole thing was about getting back his life. He wanted to get back what his master had taken from him. He didn't know anything of the outside world because of him. He didn't know how to make friends because of him. He wasn't even able to go to school and function normally because of him. This was more than a fight now. It was something of a higher power, and he wanted to avenge all those who have lost their lives to him. He wanted to avenge Yoko, because he didn't want to kill her. She was a nice girl and because she got enlisted into the clan she had to kill people. He wanted to avenge the boy who died because of him. He was done with being the victim, he was done with buying into every word people tell him, and he was done with being such a loser all the time. He was ready for revenge and he was going to get in now.(A/N: So, I was really inspired to do some sort of anime opening or like epic music scene, and even though this is a fanfiction. I felt it needed one for this whole thing. So, the song will be, "Within Temptation" by A Demon's Fate. It's an awesome song. Check it out.)
You'll burn this time seeing the violence
it's feeding my mind. No one is saving you
how can you find a heaven in this hell?
Leave it behind Hearing your silence
it screams our goodbye cannot believe
It's an eye for an eye Life is gone to waste.
Blaze was looking out the window as he watched the sun slowly set and he knew the final battle was coming upon them, and he had to get ready. He slowly picked up his bag as he searched through it. He remembered all the lives of the people he had killed and his eyes began to water as the memories of them came rushing back. He couldn't believe he had killed all those people, all those people were completely innocent and they hadn't done anything to him. He didn't have to kill them. He could've told them to run away and stay low and he could've said he had killed them. He remembered how many times he saw people wishing for someone to save them, and no one came. He tried to forget the instant silence after they died, and he also tried to forget their screams for help and how many people told him to say goodbye to one of their love ones. He had never delivered the message of one of the people who wanted him too, and he felt he was the worst person in the world. He was a monster, but it wasn't because he chose to be one, it was because his master had carved him into the perfect killing machine, and he believed he was living in a complete and utter hell. He thought he was sending people to heaven, but there was no heaven in this hell. He wondered if he should die for all the deaths and assassinations he did, but he wondered if it would be all a waste. He was the only one who was capable of killing the master, and if he second guessed himself he would never be able to do it. With this thought in mind he opened his bag and took out what he was going to need. He took out smoke bombs, throwing knives, and both of his swords. He didn't know what was going to happen, but he couldn't just allow the master to get away with everything he committed. He got up as he stared out the window as the light shone upon the tears forming in his eyes.
Angels have faith I don't want to be a part of his sin
I don't want to get lost in his world I'm not playing
This game when the shadows remain in the light of
Day On the wings of darkness he'll retaliate He'll be
Falling from grace till the end of all his days
Jack was standing in the middle of the dojo as he looked at himself in the mirror and was trying to figure out who he was. He remembered what Yoko had said about him and Blaze being unstoppable, but he wasn't a killer, and he couldn't kill someone as easy as Blaze could. He had mercy and he couldn't do this, and he wondered if when the time came he would be able to. He wanted to pray because he knew faith would be the only thing that could save him from this sin. He banged his fist against the mirror causing it to crack and he looked at himself in the cracked mirror and wondered if this was who he was. If he was a cracked person and he didn't have any morals anymore. He grabbed his head because he didn't want to get caught in this game of life and death. He didn't want to become a killer, but he felt if he didn't become one then he could be putting his own town in danger, and he turned around as he clenched his fist. He contemplated if he could stay away from the shadows and remain in the light of the day. He knew the powers of darkness would be influencing him and he didn't want to get caught under a wing of darkness and get a blood lust that he couldn't control. He would retaliate against all injustice in the world. He knew he'd fall from a place of grace and he would have this on his mind until the day he died. He wondered if he'd be able to live with that guilt. He knew he had to do this, because he promised Blaze. He looked up, grabbed his bag, and headed out the door, because he wasn't going to let down a friend. He didn't care if he turned evil. He didn't care if he had to kill someone. He had to make sure that that his town and his friends were safe. Everything else came second to him.
What have you done? Is this what you wanted?
What have you become? His soul's not forsaken
You're walking alone From heaven into hell
Now that you know Your way in this madness
Your powers are gone Your chains have been broken
You've suffered so long You will never change.
Kim didn't want to do this. Kim was utterly terrified of going up against people like Blaze. She knew she wouldn't stand a chance. She knew she wouldn't even stand a chance against a fight with Jack let along a fight with Blaze. She looked down as her eyes began filling with tears. She wished she wasn't so weak. She wished she could be brave like Jack and Blaze. She knew she had to go into this battle for them and for their town, but she wondered if she'd even be able to do it. She knew she could possibly die in this battle, but she was willing to do it because she really cared about Jack. Of course everyone knew she was completely in love with Jack, but now that he liked Blaze she would never have a chance. She began crying as she hugged her pillow, but then realized this was why she was weak, because she wasn't able to handle her emotions. She wouldn't be weak. She had to be strong, and she hurried out of her house and into abandoned part of the mall. She began training against a plastic dummy when Blaze came walking past. When she saw him she was filled with an overwhelming anger. She didn't know why she was so angry, but she ran forward and tried to punch Blaze who blocked the hit. She mouthed "What have you done?" She said before spinning trying to send a kick into Blaze's head. He jumped back and Kim proceeded forward and asked "Is this what you wanted? What have you become?" Kim asked Blaze who looked down and Blaze knew he was becoming a monster, and this wasn't how what he wanted. He was so scared of going in there too, and Kim just began crying as she fell to her knees in front of Blaze as it began to rain all dramatically. She stood up as she realized that she was walking from heaven to hell, and that the way she's going is driven by complete and utter madness. This wasn't here. She looked at Blaze and realized his powers of evil are gone, and his chains have been broken. Much like her he's suffered so long, but Kim knows she'll never change.
When the shadows remain in the light of day
on the wings of darkness He'll retaliate He'll be
Falling from grace till the end of all his days
From the ashes of hate it's a cruel demon's fate
on the wings of darkness He's returned to stay
there will be no escape because he's fallen far
From grace
Eddie was looking out the window watching the rain fall down and he noticed how the darkness seemed to come flooding in. Maybe it was a sign that they shouldn't do this, because they'll be enveloped in so much darkness that they won't be able to see the light. He knew he was the weakest of the whole group, and he knew that even Milton was stronger than him. If he was going to get swept up in darkness he was going to fight it until the day he died. If he died in that mansion, and if he didn't even live to see Blaze's master then he would've died a happy death. He knew that deep down inside that if he died he'll be dying to save something important. He'll become a martyr in regards to the fact that he'll die to save the people of his town. No one has ever recognized him as an individual before. They've only seen him as part of a group and now that he was part of something bigger than him, and if he dies while trying to achieve this goal then he would become a hero and people would realize that he meant something to people. He smiled at the fact that he would be a hero. He knew that he didn't want to die, but he at least had to try his best. He got everything he needed and headed towards the door.
Milton was always a rational type of person and he never had an ounce of hate in him, because naturally he wasn't a violent person. Somehow this whole ordeal had awakened a primordial feeling inside of him. A feeling that made him feel like a complete animal, a wild beat. He never felt this way before and he wouldn't and couldn't let this feeling of strength pass him by so easily. He knew that ashes of hate began to spark in him and a fire only right of a demon burned inside of him. He wanted to have wings of darkness so he could gain even more power. It amused him how people always thought he was the weak one. How he was all brains and no physical strength, but he was going to prove them all wrong. He was going to go into that mansion and beat the living shit out of some assassins and then he was going to go up to Blaze's master and mouth fuck him with a knife. Milton stopped and thought he went a little bit too far with the last thought. Even he was becoming scared of himself, but he knew he had to do something and he couldn't stand by and watch his life pass by so easily. He got his bag with everything he needed. At this point he was standing on a hill overlooking the town as the rain poured down and now he headed to their meeting place.
Jerry was sitting on a swing at the local park when it started to rain. It was like he didn't even notice that it was raining, because he sat there like if he was in the middle of a trance. He was thinking about if he could really do what they're about to do. He's always talked a big game about not being scared and being able to overcome anything, but this was really, really frightening and he didn't think he'd be able to do this. He wanted to get rid of the old Jerry and bring in a new and better Jerry. The new Jerry had come to stay and the old Jerry was leaving without another word. He couldn't escape the fact that after they successfully do this, they would have fallen from perfect grace. Jerry grabbed his bag and ran to their meeting place.
Angels have faith I don't want to be a part of his sin
I don't want to get lost in his world I'm not playing
This game when the shadows remain in the light of
Day On the wings of darkness He'll retaliate He'll be
Falling from grace Till the end of all his days from the
Ashes of hate it's a cruel demon's fate on the wings of
Darkness He's returned to stay there will be no escape
because he's fallen far from grace
They all gathered in front of the dojo and looked at each other for what could be the last time. None of them knew if they were going to make it out of this fight alive, but they knew they had to stick together. They were a family and they would protect each other no matter what. Blaze didn't want to drag them into this, but he knew it couldn't be avoided as the clouds began to part and rays of light shone down on them individually. They looked forward as if by my magic the mansion was illuminated in the distance. It was time for them to go and as they all looked at each other different thoughts were rushing through their heads. Blaze didn't want his friends to get hurt, but he couldn't allow his master to get away with what he did. Blaze knew that his master needed to pay for what he did. Jack didn't want to become a monster, but he couldn't allow his friends and his town to suffer, because he wasn't able to make up his mind. Kim wanted to become stronger and she knew she had to do this to become strong even if it was the last thing she ever did. Eddie wanted to be recognized as someone important and knew he had to do this to become someone that people would look up to. Milton was tired of being weak and he had to let the animal inside of him shine and he knew he would be able to survive. Jerry was tired of having to bear everything on his own. He knew he needed his friends and his new personality to help him complete this. He knew he had changed. They would be together till the end of time, and they all developed a hatred for the master and if they were going to turn evil they would do it willingly.
