Dark T.: Your Welcome!
( Shugo's Time to Shine)
( Mac Anu)
Shugo walked the busy street of Mac Anu thinking of their previous encounters with Shicksal, the treasure hunting, and Shadow Kite and company. He was feeling a little down that day ' I'm not very useful lately. I mean the last time I try to do something was when Kite summoned that dragon thingy. I felt so powerless, if it wasn't for Kite we all be done for right there and then.' he was heading to Raven's at home for a meeting and he was to deep in thought to notice Rena right beside him. Rena said to wait up but he didn't heard her. When she caught up wit him she notice his frown and knew he was thinking something.
" Well I'll be. Shugo! Your thinking! I knew the day would come to realize your ability to think!" she said with fake glee.
" Haha. It was so funny I forgot to laugh." He said rolling his eyes.
" Aw come on Shugo. You know I was just kidding, right?" Rena defended " Anyways, whats on your mind bro? Something must be bothering you for you to make that face. Your usually the cheerful one."
Shugo sighted " It's just that.. I know for sure that Shadow helped me save you from that monster that day and....everybody is doing something to help and I feel like I haven't done a thing. I mean when we went to that castle place...I couldn't do anything about the resent attack. If Kite hadn't summoned his avatar we would've be done for. I....God! How I hate it! How can you stand it Rena?"
Rena left a nervous laugh out " Are you sure about Shadow, I mean I still don't see him as a hero. And about the treasures, well............I been exploring forgotten areas with Black Rose and Subaru all the time looking for information of the treasure. Hehe. Funny huh."
"What?! Now I feel ten times worse. Thanks a lot Rena!" Shugo said looking at the ground.
" Ah! Come on Shugo! Your plenty of help. Now come on, we're going to be late for the meeting!" she try to cheer him up and avoid the subject.
" Yeah, what ever." Shugo said gloomy.
They made their way and showed their keys to enter the at home. Once inside they were greeted by none other than the ex-terror of death, Haseo. "Hey Rena! Hey bud.......Whoa! What happened to you Shugo?!" Shugo had a gloomy look on his face that actually make him look freaky.
" Oh! Don't mind him he's just...umm...Cranky?" she try to convince Haseo, but he raise an eyebrow clearly not believing her. " Oh all right! Shugo thinks he's not being helpful to the group and is making him feel miserable!"
" What?! Shugo! Of course your helpful buddy. We couldn't have make it this far without you!" Haseo tried to cheer him up.
" Oh yeah! Name one thing I have done so far." Shugo replied dryly.
" Well.....Ummm......There was this one time....... no wait. Oh! How about this other time........no, not that one either.......How about........" Haseo stop and looked at Shugo who was still waiting for an answer " Oh look! The meeting is about to start!" he grab the twins and push them to the nearby seats, which happen to be next to Tsukasa. Tsukasa look a little annoyed to have the loud mouth sit near him. That is of course until he saw his face and that he was very quiet.
He leaned closer to Haseo to whisper " Hey! Whats wrong with the kid there?" he pointed at Shugo, who simply ignore him. Haseo told him and got an 'Oh' for an answer.
" Alright people settle down!" Zelkova raise his voice to get everyones attention " Alright lets get this meeting started."
" You can start by telling us anything new on these guys, Helba." Kite said seriously.
" It's Zelkova now Kite. Anyways theres nothing really to tell, we saw Shadow's story and so far thats all the information we got. Before the rebirth of Aura I had been monitoring those two for a while, you know checking on what they were doing and such." Zelkova said.
" Don't you mean spying on them?" Haseo said with an incredulous look.
Zelkova nervously laughed and scratch the back of his head " Hehe. Well...... anyway, they seemed to be normal, you know acting like normal players except when they went to battle...the poor monsters and players didn't stand a chance. Anyway by what we saw they where born in the first version of "The World".." he was cut off at this point.
" The first version? Wouldn't the have been deleted since that incident? Witch reminds me if you're an A.I. how did you get here?" Haseo asked curious.
" As I was saying they where born in the first version of " The World", the both of them. By the looks of things Dark Tsukasa had been around longer than Shadow Kite, if Shadow hadn't save him he might not be here. Anyways, then that incident occur deleting many thing in "The World". I open a rift to the data space, or the internet for a better perspective, in order to escape the chaos, but I made a little miscalculation and well....my sex and age change. Those two did exactly the same thing and waited in the data space. When the new version came out thats when they came out of the data space and into the new version. They must've meet Morganna in the new " The World"."
Rena raised her hand " Excuse me for asking but, who is this Morganna person?"
" Oh yes. You and some other people here don't know who she is. Well, for starters, her full name is Morganna Mode Gone, or Morganna to shorten it. She is an omnipresent and almost omnipotent A.I. created by Harald to complete Aura and awaken her. However, she realize that if Aura awaken she would no longer had a purpose or control over this virtual world, so she decided to stop this by all means. She used Tsukasa's negative feeling toward the world to do so, but once Tsukasa was out of her control thats when she created The Wave to destroy Aura and maintain her power over " The World". Kite here and among others stop her and destroy each and every monster she created, thus restoring order." Zelkova explained.
"Oh" was all she said.
" Continuing from were I left these two seemed to be very powerful and both are able to use a wicked version of the Data Drain." Kite interrupted.
" Wicked? How so?" he asked raising a brown.
" You mean you haven't seen it in action?" Tsukasa asked in his direction.
Kite shook his head " I mean we all saw it in the back there but it seemed normal to me."
" True. However it is very different if one is there to see it in action. When Shugo, Rena, and I went to that dungeon Dark use the Data Drain move on Trommel. When it fired and made contact it sounded like it impaled him, I could even see the pain in his eyes. It even push Trommel of the ground and smash him through a wall before data draining him."
" Damn! This guys aren't playing around." Kite frowned.
" Neither are we. Thats why we must gather the remaining treasures before them. You see I have a bad feeling about this. If they are able to gather the treasure before us something terrible will happened. You see I know what their doing." Zelkava said uncomfortably, earning many looks of surprise.
" What?! You do?" Haseo asked.
" Yeah they are planning to destroy " The World" to create a new one in which Morganna has control of it." Zelkova said.
" What?! How do you know this?" Kite asked standing up.
" Well during my investigation a found this note in one of the dungeons. Listen to what it says:" with that he began reading out loud.
The eight treasures of The Wave. Powerful relics that have unimaginable power when their together and are able to be use as the possessor wishes. Using their power I shall obliterate Aura's world, ultimately destroying it. However, it shall not end there. It can't. I am able to use the relic power once every millennium. Once again I was stuck. I research every book, every object, every loophole I could find to use to my advantage. After days of searching I have found it. In a book was the description of an equally powerful relic. The sphere of new beginnings, a powerful orb that is able to create anything out of nothing. Harnessing its amazing powers I shall create a new world. One were I shall rule over the way it should had been, along with my knights to maintain order and eliminate those who disturb this order. But before destroying the old world, Aura's world, I shall choose a group of player worthy of been in my new world, while the others who does not qualify shall be sent to the dark abyss. There they shall remain motionless for the rest of eternity. Justice will be swift and merciless.
Zelkova finished reading the note and looked at the disturbed looking group.
" Is she insane?! Destroy ' The World' to create her own, she's crazy!" Haseo said incredulously.
" Leave it to Morganna to come up with a twisted plan like this." Ovan added.
The group began to panic until Zelkova interrupted " People calm down! This isn't the moment to panic. Now you see why it is top priority to gather this relics before they do. Now as soon as a treasure reveals itself we'll move out and retrieve it."
At that moment an alarm went off and everyone in the room were startle. Fluegel came into the room looking serious. " Guys I think you would want to see this."
( New Moon Castle)
Morganna had summoned the group for an important meeting. " Welcome my knights. For starters I would like to say that Mia has join our cause. Second, and most importantly, the final three treasures have just reveal themselves. Apparently they're moving in the same direction."
" You mean their heading to a same place? How is that possible?" Cubia asked.
" It seems that since we have ' The Eye of Skeith', ' Inis's Mirror', and ' Corbenik's Seed' and the others have ' Magus Leaf' and ' Fidchell's Talisman' we put the remaining guardians on the defense. It appears their joining up to protect the three remaining treasures." Shadow explained.
" So what do we do? Shall we retrieve the remaining treasures?" Dark said.
" No. I say we let Shicksal and The Twilight Knights get them." Shadow said this earning looks from his teammates.
" What?! Shadow, I respect you greatly but this isn't part of our goal." Cubia said.
Morganna, however, didn't look stunned. In fact she look amused " I see my most trusted knight has a plan, doesn't he?"
Shadow smirk " I do, so let them try to get them. Cubia, Elk, and Mia go to the field and observe the scene unfold. If they are able to get the treasures then return to base, if not collect the treasures yourself''s. But don't interfere, got it?". The three nodded. " Good, now go." The three left soon after he finish saying this.
Dark smirked at his friend " What are you planning this time Shadow?"
Shadow smirked back " Its a secret. You'll just have to wait and see." he saw Dark pouting from the corner of his eyes. He then started to walk away satisfied.
" Hey where are you going now Shadow?" Dark asked curious.
" To a field and wait for someone. So don't wait up for me, I'll be coming back late." ' With an Azure knight with me' he thought the last part and left.
( Mac Anu: Raven)
Fluegel had gather the whole group in another room, ready to explain why the alarm has just went on. Everyone in the room was curious and startle because they knew that if the alarm went on something big was happening.
" Alright. Now that everyone is in the room I would like you see this" Metronome said pointing at a screen. On the screen three red dots where moving in a direction, in addition they seem to be getting closer to each other.
" What are does red dots exactly?" Kuhn asked suspicious.
" Those, my friend, are three treasures of 'The Wave'." As she said this the group started to chat with each other about their opinions. " As you can see these three dots are three of the treasures we have been seeking. The reason their moving is because their guardians have taken the treasures and now are heading to a specific area."
" Why would three guardians take the treasures and move them somewhere else?" Subaru asked.
" I think that because some of the treasures have been taken by us and the other group, the guardians must be on the defensive and are moving to a specific area to protect there remaining treasures." Zelkova explain.
" But aren't there suppose to be four?" Haseo asked. This caught everyones attention.
Zelkova sighted " I was afraid of this. The Shadow Knights must have three treasures instead of two like we thought."
Kite stood up " What?! They have three?! Then we must get these three before they do!"
Everyone started to agree with their leader. " Indeed we must. However, this may not be easy to achieve. Three treasures are gathering in a specific spot, which means the guardians are going to be hell to beat." Zelkova warned " But we must in order to to gain the lead over the others. Now all we need is the exact location of the treasures."
At that moment Fluegel receive an instant message from their client " Guys! Our client had just track the treasures and knows where they are. He said head to ( Sigma) Hidden Dark Hollow Grounds."
" Alright then! Lets move out." Kite said and everyone in the room headed to the location to battle the three remaining guardians."
( (Sigma) Hidden Dark Hollow Ground)
It was not a joke, every single one of the group had arrived at the designated area determined to retrieve the final three treasures or dye trying. Shugo was still very depress, he still thought of himself to be useless. He follow the group with out to much enthusiasm in him like the rest of the group and thought ' Why do I even bother? Their gonna collect them with out me lifting a finger'. Shugo notice that the area was creepy. It was night and the moon was shining on the hollows grounds, it was a freaky looking area in Shugo's opinion. The group headed to the center of the area lead by Fluegel, closely follow by Kite and the rest.
" This way everyone. The signal is getting stronger this way." Fluegel said toward the group.
Shugo, and a few others, notice that they were heading to the center of the field and a strange feeling was bothering Shugo. ' Some thing's not right here.' he was now more alert than ever looking for anything out of place. Subaru notice his strange behavior and asked " What's wrong Shugo?"
Shugo looked at the heavy axe and decided to tell her " Some thing's not right here. I have a strange feeling something bad is going to happen.".
" Don't worry to much. We are all heading to the treasure together. Nothing can go possibly wrong." Subaru assured the young twinblade.
" Yeah I guess you're right." Shugo sighted.
On a cliff near the center of the field, three figures were observing from afar and see what happened next. Cubia was watching the treasure when something caught his eyes. " Well, thats interesting."
" Hm. What is it kid?" Mia asked.
" It appears that the guardians are doing something. Whatever it is it's going to be trouble for Kite and company." Cubia answered.
" Well we don't have to wait long because they are approaching the center area now." Elk informed his other two companions. " And Cubia remember what Shadow said, do not interfere."
Cubia rolled his eyes " Yeah, yeah. I may be wild and all but a respect him too you know". Elk simply smiled at him.
The group were coming closer to the center of the field. As they got close they could see pillars from afar. "Hey what's that?" Haseo asked. In the center of the field was what it appear to be a shrine with huge pillar surrounding it. The moon was shining directly on top of the shrine and on the center of the shrine were three treasure boxes.
" Hey! There the are! But where are the.....What in Aura's name is that?!" Pi alerted the group and all gaze fell on a strange looking orb floating closely to the shrine.
Zelkova was the one that spoke " Well, since the guardians are no where near site, I must say that the orb over them is the three guardians. They must be fusing together."
The group was silent for a second before.... "WHAT?!".
No sooner than they word came from their mouth the orb started to shift and something started to come out of it. What came out was something that left their mouth wide open. It was huge with bat like wings, it had a humanoid muscular body, a long scaly neck, two muscular long front arms with razor sharp claws, its tail was serpentine like, and had a head of a lizard.
" What the hell is that thing?" Cello practically shouted.
" Well Cello I think that thing over there is the guardian of the three treasures" Fluegel said eying the thing.
The guardian let out a roar before spreading his wing and took off int to the air. Seconds later it was coming down at fulls speed toward the group ready to erase them from existence. Kite told everyone to scatter and within seconds everyone did. All of them took their respective weapons out and prepare to attack.
" Harvest Clerics, Steam Gunners, and Shadow Warlocks stay behind and attack or heal from a distance. The rest charge at that thing with everything you have." The group did so and charge at the beast. The monster saw them coming and commence flapping his wings rapidly creating a strong wind gale. The group was having trouble moving from theres spot, Kite saw the monsters mouth beginning to glow " Dammit! Some one do something".
Metronome saw this and use one of her spells to freeze the monsters wing temporary as the monster fired a beam. Everyone dodge the blast just in the nick of time. " Charge!" Balmung scream from the top of his lungs signaling to everybody to attack immediately. The giant monster freed his sealed wings from the ice and growled as it prepared for the assault.
( Between the realms of "The World": White Room)
Aura was watching the battle from the floating screen in her chamber. Thou the warriors were putting a good fight , the attacks did little against the beast. She watch as the creature swung his massive arms repelling the attackers and slammed his huge claws against the ground creating a shock wave dealing massive damage to the group.
" Things are not going so well for them. Even with Shicksal by there side they still lack some power. A. Orca, A. Balmung come forth." as she said this two knights instantly appeared in the room.
" What is it lady Aura?" A. Orca asked.
" Go and help the group take down the beast guarding those relics."
" But what about A. Kite?" A. Balmung asked with concern.
" He needs time to think of his actions. He will eventually come back to us in due time and I shall send him there if the battle still goes on." she replied.
" As you wish" the two knights replied at the same time and then they were gone.
Aura was once again looking at the screen watching the battle rage on. " Hang in there. Help is on the way."
( (Sigma) Hidden Dark Hollow Ground)
The front assault wasn't doing very good. Some of them retreated temporary so that they could be healed and replenish before charging at the beast again. Fluegel, Kuhn, Sakubo, and others fire spells and bullets from afar trying to weaken it with little effect. Tsukasa had even summoned his guardian to battle the beast and aid them while he use spells against the beast, but their attacks weren't doing much either. Metronome was constantly freezing its wing so it couldn't fly and cause more damage, even thou it only lasted for a few seconds. Haseo was changing weapons from weapons in order to find a sutible on that could let them have the advantage but once again it was all for not. Shugo had retreated temporary to be healed and look at the battle field. He saw attack after attack being thrown at the monster only to have it reflected back or had little damage on it. Then he gaze at his teammates and saw that they were beginning to tired out. ' At this rate we'll end up loosing this battle' he thought worriedly. The monster raised his huge claw ready to strike the front division when suddenly it was slash on his chest. The beast let out a painful roar. Two figures on the air could be seen holding their weapons and pointed them directly at the guardian. Kite recognize the two as Auras knights.
" We have come to aid you Kite." A. Orca said.
" Yeah, so don't give up. Aura is depending on you and the others." A. Balmung added.
Kite hopes of beating the thing had been replenish " Everyone give all you got! We can beat this thing!" his sudden speech had motivated the group and all let out their best attack, spells, items, etc...
The monster was beginning to back away but his life points were far from being depleted. Kite called Haseo and Tsukasa over to his side " Alright guys, this things life point ain't dropping much. So lets summoned our avatars and finish him up. After all its three against one right!" the other two agree. Lines had began to appear on the three and Shugo knew what was coming ' Hes going to get it now!' he thought with enthusiasm when he remembered something ' .....and once again I had done nothing to help. O well....at least its going to be over.'
The guardian saw the three starting to glow. Before the summoning could be completed the monster use an attack on them. The display of the attack said " Roar of Time" and the monster set out a loud roar sending many energy wave at the group. Shugo had closed his eyes and awaited the impact, but it never came. He slowly opened his eyes and check his status, everything read fine. " Hey guys what just hap......" before he could finish the sentence he saw that everyone wasn't moving. In fact they were still like statues, the only thing that could be seen moving were their eyes. The monster had frozen them in place and now they were at his mercy, even the Azure Knights were affected. The only one who wasn't frozen in place was Shugo.
" The Hell!" he said.
On the nearby cliff the three figures were also unaffected by the waves of the attack. Cubia saw that Shugo was the only one who could move. " Hm........"
" What is it Cubia?" asked Elk noticing his teamate.
" That kid there...Shugo, was it? He was not affected by the time freezing waves. I wonder why? Everyone was affected by it." he replied with curiosity.
" That is weird." Elk said.
" Now boys, let us watch what going to happen next. I am very interested to see what he will do." Mia told the two while looking at the field.
Shugo was at a lost. Not only did his friends couldn't move and Kite, Tsukasa, and Haseo couldn't summoned their avatars, but now he had to face the monster alone before he hurt someone in the group. ' I'm not going to like this. But I must do something!' with that thought he tighten his grip on his blades and charge at the guardian. He slash at the beast avoiding his huge claws before backing away and using a thunder spell. The creature didn't look faced at all and continue to move toward Shugo. The whole group was watching the young lad fight against the monster and wish they could be by his side. Kite. Tsukasa, and Haseo watch still from their position fearing for the guys well being. Haseo was praying that his body would be fine while Rena had tears in her eyes hoping for his brother to be ok. They were both standing near each other praying for Shugo's safety. The beast back hand Shugo in mid air sending him flying into the ground. He shakingly stood up and prepare to fight only to see that the monster was heading strait for Rena and Haseo.
" No! Leave them alone!" he charge at the creature only to be hit by its tail sending him flying to the ground once again. He got up again and try to charge at his foe only for it to pin him on the ground with one of his claws while the other was pointing at the two frozen figures. ' No!' Shugo struggle to get free while the monster raised his hand to attack the others. ' No! I won't let it end this way!' began to appear on his body making Kite, Tsukasa, and Haseo eyes to widen. ' I'll protect my friends! No matter what!'. The lines glow began to intensified making the frozen group shut their eyes to protect them from the intensive light. The monster was thrown backwards knocking down one of the pillars. A few seconds later the light faded and Shugo's avatar was reveal. It had a humanoid shape, feather wings that expanded very long, its mask was shaped like a bird and its horns on its sides were shape like wings, the mid section was thin, and it had hands shape like eagles claw. Shugo opened his eyes to see what had happened. The first thing he notice was that the field was gone and was replace by the data space were avatars battle.
" Huh? You guys summoned your avatars? Thats great!" Shugo said clearly not getting the picture.
The group at this point were able to move for some mysterious reason. Shugo looked at Kite, Tsukasa, and Haseo to see witch one of the had summoned their avatars or if they all had summoned them. But when his gaze landed on them.....they were still normal.
" What the.......? You guys didn't summoned your avatars?! Then who did?" he asked innocently.
Kite had a stupefied face, Tsukasa slam his head against his palm clearly not believing what he was hearing, and Haseo had his mouth wide open before he smiled at his friend.
" Shugo! Buddy! You did. You summoned your very own avatar!" Haseo shouted overjoyed.
" I did?!" Shugo inspected himself and notice that he had change and had huge feather wings. " Cool! I'm like a super hero! Now I can do many things to help! But first....." he said looking at the guardian who was now standing up " ..let me take care of this pest." Shugo's avatar summoned a very elegant rapier and charge at the beast. The creature fire many heat blast at the avatar, but it just simply dodge them with ease and agility. Once he was at the monsters reach he appeared to slash it once when suddenly many slashes appeared out of nowhere making the monster scream in pain.
" Oh Yeah! You got own!" Shugo was cheering himself when suddenly he got punch by the guardian sending him flying through the data space and slamming in the other end. The group sweat drop at this while Shugo gather his composition " Um....I meant to do that. Alright then!" he cross his wing in front of him before opening them scattering many feathers. They slowly fell before coming to a stop in mid air before suddenly pointing at the guardian's direction. " Take this!" all the feathers rush at the monsters, each slashing him rapidly and painfully before breaking his barrier. " Now its may chance!"
Shugo pointed his right arm and charged the data drain. He let out a cry before he fire the blast strait at the monster effectively destroying it. Once done Shugo reverted back to his old look and faced the group. " Well! How I do?!" he asked excitedly.
The group was speechless. Their asses were saved by none other than Shugo. Haseo was the first one to congratulate him " Nice! Well done Shugo! See! I told you that your helpful!" Shugo smiled at him, the others soon follow in congratulating him. Kite walk strait in Shugo's direction and stood right in front of him. Shugo was nervous as to what his hero was going to say to him and was squirming with anxiety.
" Shugo." Kite began and Shugo breathing began to speed up " Thanks to you we now have three more treasure making us ahead of The Shadow Knights. And I just wanted to say well done. You save all of us from that thing and I'm grateful." Shugo eyes sparkle, his hero had just praise him and he felt like king of the world. " Alright everyone lets get the treasures and head out." everyone nodded. Fluegel, Cello, and Kuhn collected the treasures and joined the group before leaving the area.
The three knights that stood on the field watch the whole thing. Elk was frowning ' Sure! He gets you the treasures and you praise him. But I don't and you insult me?!'. He was beginning to shake when he felt a hand of his shoulder, it was Cubia.
" Hey, don't let it get to you. Remember we still have Shadow and Dark with us. Everything will be fine." he said trying to comfort Elk.
" Yeah, your right." Elk sighted " lets head back and report." the other two nodded and left the area.
(New Moon Castle)
Elk and the group headed toward the castle when they where greeted by none other than Shadow Kite, he seemed to be heading somewhere.
" Hey Shadow!" Elk and Cubia said in unison.
" Hey guys...and gal. So what information you have for me?" he asked the trio.
" The Twilight knights were able to get the three remaining treasures." Elk said.
" In addition, Shugo was able to summoned a bird like avatar and defeated the guardian." Cubia added.
Shadow blink " Well...I certainly didn't see that coming. Anyways, the three of you go and meet up with Dark. He is waiting for you guys at the entrance of the mistress chamber. As for me" said person look at him " I need to meet up with someone. I'll see you later" the three nodded " Good. You are dismiss."
( Cloudy Field)
Azure Kite was still deep in thought. He still didn't know what to do and felt lost. He was struggling with his feelings for leaving Aura or to join Shadow Kite and his group. He just couldn't decide on what to do. A presence made the young A.I. come out of his thought, he slowly turned to look at the new arrival. Shadow was making his way toward the knight at his even pace. Said knight bit his lips in anticipation.
" Have you come to a decision Azure?" Shadow asked the other.
Azure Kite shifted uncomfortably, he had his gaze away from the piercing eyes of the other " Um....I....I haven't choose yet."
Shadow Kite raised an eye brow at the other " Still nothing?"
Azure Kite sighted " No. I mean........I can't! I mean.....I want to go with you.....but I don't want to leave Aura!"
Shadow shook his head " You can't be on both sides."
" Please don't make me choose! Maybe...maybe I can be on both sides, do something that benefit both sides. Just......just .....don't make me choose." A. Kite pleaded the other.
Shadow sighted " It can be done." A. Kite looked at him with hope. " But I wouldn't recommended. If Aura knows that you are also going through with our plans she would see you as a traitor and most likely delete you on the spot. And I know you wouldn't bare the disappointment before your deletion that would surely come."
A. Kite lower his head in frustration " It's not fair! I've done everything for her! Ever since she created me I always saw her like a mother figure, something that I wanted to protect! Why couldn't she see me for my personality! Why she only saw Kite! It's not fair!"
" Life is never fair, even if it is a virtual one. One must be strong in order to survive in this cruel world. But that's about to change." Shadow said.
A. Kite looked at him " What do you mean ' about to change'?"
Shadow smirked " Because this world will end of course. We are going to destroy 'The World' and create a new one." A. Kite looked stunned " First we are going to trap all players inside, trapping their minds forever. Then we shall destroy the world along with every player who doesn't deserve to live, only sparing the one that deserve it. And before you ask, yes we know who is 'natty and who's nice'. Finally we shall all move to a new world were we will begin a more peaceful life. You see, in order to achieve this sacrifices must be made. So, what do you say?"
A. Kite came out of his stunned state " Why?! Why must you do this in order to create a peaceful world?! Why not try to find a way to change them! They can be good if they try! If I have to punch you to prove it then I will!" he said readying himself.
Shadow frowned ' Why is everyone trying to prove me wrong! I know I'm right.........aren't I?'. Shadow shook the thought away " No, there's no other way. They'll never change. The same thing goes with Aura. I bet everything I am that things between you will not change, if not get worse. Because to her your nothing but a copy, a cheap imitation of Kite. Like me. She will never see you for who you are. A child, looking for recognition from his creator. Why do you insist on the impossible?"
A. Kite ready position had been drop. His eyes were wide and he looked on the verge of tears. Shadow hated saying that, but he needed the other to see the truth. A. Kite lower his head so the other couldn't see him. In that moment he felt weak. Aura's words were popping inside his head. " I...........I.........."
" Come with me. Leave this lie you have been living and start a new. Help me create a better world. You and others deserve better than this shit you have to endure. End it and become what you were destined to be." Shadow told the other. He extend his hand for the other to take.
A. Kite was almost tempted to take it and accept his offer. " But............what if Aura finds out.?" he bit his lips at the thought.
" Nothing will happen to you. If you accept you will be protected by me so she won't be able to do anything to you. You have great potential, don't let it go to waste. Be apart of a greater cause, I'll be there to hold you if you fall. What do you say?" Shadow said awaiting the answer.
A. Kite would had lie if he say that he didn't have any regrets. But something in his twin words had comforted him to a great extend. He shakily reach for the others awaiting hand and took it. The pact had been made. " O-Ok..."
" You have made the right choice." Shadow said.
There you have it! I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it. Review if you like and no flames k.
