Breathe Into Me
"I...I…"
"You knew there was nothing you can do. Leave it to us to find him."
Even as Kazuya and Lars pulled me away from him, I was internally screaming at myself. I couldn't do anything to help him…all I could do was watch…
"Xiaoyu, there's nothing you can do to help," Kazuya said. "Stand back and let us take care of him!"
"No," I yelled. "I don't want him to get hurt! Don't hurt him!"
"We have no choice!"
Lars jumped on Jin and started fighting him, leaving Kazuya to hold me down. I totally gave him a hard time.
"Let me go, Kazuya!"
"You have to stay here!"
He pinned me to the floor, rendering me immobile. I screamed and fought, but to no avail. Alisa and Jack flew down near us.
"Xiaoyu, you must let Lars handle him for the time being," She said. "He is the only one here who is strong enough. Let him deal with it for now."
"I can't! I don't want them to get hurt! Make them stop fighting!"
"We can't make them stop," Kazuya said. "If we don't stop Jin, he's gonna destroy life as we know it."
"Just make them stop, please!"
Just shouting those words alone gave me some type of comfort. But in reality, they were just words; words without meaning…but how can we bring those words to life without risking the world itself?
Jin, stop it…fight against the devil…before you're lost forever…
(Hwoarang and Asuka Kazama)
We walked towards auntie Jun's house. I still felt a little awkward, but eventually, it would wear off. As I opened the door, the awkwardness seemingly returned as we were greeted with a weird smile.
"Uh, hi auntie," I said, trying to break up some of the suspense. "What's with…that weird smile?"
Hwoarang flushed red as he groaned. Jun chuckled as she stood up.
"Did you two have fun?" she asked.
She gazed at our drenched clothes and the rose in my hand. I finally caught on when she walked into the kitchen.
"W-we didn't do anything besides talk and swim," I said, trying to hide my embarrassment. "That's all we did!"
"I believe you; did you guys get any messages from Kazuya or Xiaoyu?"
I looked at my phone and checked the missed call section and messages; none so far. I really hope they're okay…
"No," I said, slightly worried. "Not even a voicemail. Should we go after them?"
"No, they have the situation under control; I'm sure of it. Why don't you two go upstairs and change? Keeping those clothes on for too long will irritate your skin."
I took what she said into consideration; I dragged Hwoarang up the stairs with me, totally ignoring his protests. I hope everyone escapes alright…
(Ling Xiaoyu)
The more I watched Jin and Lars fight, the angrier I got. I couldn't stand to watch them tear each other apart…
"Someone, stop them!" I yelled. "Stop them from fighting!"
"We can't stop them," Kazuya said. "If Lars doesn't stop Jin, the world's doomed."
I looked over at both Jin and Lars; both of them were severely injured, but it looked like they were ignoring the pain.
"If you don't stop this," Lars said, breathing heavily. "I'll have no choice but to end you."
"You can't touch me…you won't defeat me!"
"Then I have no choice…Jin, you're going down!"
Lars charged towards Jin and tackled him with such force into the wall, I was almost certain that the whole side of that wall caved in.
"Kazuya," I yelled. "Stop them!"
"And leave you to enter their bloodbath? Nice try, Xiaoyu. Lars can handle this."
I kept on struggling, but to no avail. I almost kicked Kazuya in his face, but he dodged it and aggressively pinned me to the floor.
"Let me go!"
I heard screams and growls come from both Jin and Lars; for some reason, Alisa activated her enhanced battle mode and blazed down towards both of them.
"Lars, stand back!"
Alisa's chainsaws came out and she aimed them towards Jin. When Jin realized his situation, he snarled and flew upwards out of danger. Alisa followed.
"Jin, I do not want to hurt you," She said, trying to land a critical enough hit. "Please, return to the person you once were!"
He totally ignored her; he fired off a series of lasers to throw Alisa off, but she was quick enough to avoid all of them. Lars ran up the wall towards Jin and threw him down on the ground with such force, the ground broke and debris went everywhere. No one could see much after that. I coughed and stood up, blinking continuously to keep the dust out of my eyes.
"Lars, Alisa! Are you two alright?" I asked.
"Get down!"
I heard Alisa yell, and I ducked; a large gust of wind cleared the dust and I saw Jin again; but this time, he looked more demonic than ever. I didn't think that there was any humanity left in him. Kazuya was right…I couldn't get Jin back…
"Kazuya," I began, finally facing facts. "How do we kill him again?"
Kazuya didn't wanna believe it either, but at this point, what could you do?
"Silver," He muttered. "We need silver; skewer him straight through his heart."
He walked towards me, his voice softening in tone. "Xiaoyu, do you really want to do this…?"
I nodded weakly; if this is the only way to let Jin be free, then so be it. I was extremely hesitant, but I had no choice. Jin had to die; it was the only way to release him from his pain…
"I have to do it," I said, voice breaking. "I'm the only one who can save him…"
"My defense systems are down," Alisa said. One of Jin's lasers hit her legs and back, disabling her flight system completely. "I cannot fly or defend myself fully now."
Dammit, I thought to myself. If we don't do something, Jin's gonna broil all of us! We don't have silver, but I believe there's an alternative…
I looked over at Lars; he was beaten and bloody, but still standing. I couldn't tell if he was healing himself, or just trying to catch his breath. He looked up at me and nodded. That was my cue.
He formed a step with his hands, and I ran towards him with all my speed; I jumped in the air, and I landed on top of Jin's back. He tried to pull me off, but he couldn't reach me.
With sudden anger rushing through me, I grabbed Jin's black wings and ripped them right off. A blood curdling scream left Jin's lips, and he went tumbling to the floor, writhing in pain.
"Jin, stop moving!" I yelled. "You're gonna lose a lot more blood!"
His body convulsed as he relaxed himself. I ran over to him and lifted him up, ignoring the large amount of blood that was pouring out of his back.
"We need to get him back to Jun," Kazuya said. "She can treat him there."
I didn't want to move Jin, but he had to be somewhere safe. He's here with us, but is he really the same person as before?
YEAH, I WROTE ANOTHER PART! (Sorry, peeps…)
