SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 33 out, this is Chapter 334 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review other than just simply putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot and pairing.

Chapter 34: End Game

"Gedōin?" Rin echoed. "Is that his name?"

"How dare you invade my sanctuary." Gedōin accused. "This is the sanctuary of the experiments of the elixir of immortality. Those who intrude the sanctuary deserve death. I will make you fully understand the extent of your sin. I will exterminate every last one of you."

"Elixir?" Suguro echoed.

"Of immortality?" Rin blinked. "What is he talking about?"

"In other words," Yukio realized. "Kamiki was abducted to serve as an experimental subject in a research to make medicine, or an elixir, granting immortality."

"And most likely, the zombies we were fighting until now are also failed results of the experiment." Ami came to the same conclusion. "But, seriously, what's up idiotic humans and their obsession with the Fountain of Youth?" she muttered.

"That's exactly right." Gedōin chuckled. "Those zombies are all failures of the human experiments. They're tourists that gathered at 'Dream Town Inari'. To create the elixir with the most powerful generative ability, I needed a large amount of experimental subjects."

"You're lying, right?" Rin was shocked. Those people...

"What's wrong?" Gedōin sang. "Relax. The drinks and foods sold in the Foxes Alley contain a narcotic drug that procures a sense of well-being in their brains. If they eat, they want to eat more. The tourists who can't live without the Foxes Alley's are selected to become residents of 'Dream Town Inari' and become experimental subjects. Thanks to this drug, the subject feel less fear and pain during the experiments. Using force during the experiments or inflicting unnecessary pain would be cruel. This kind of arrangement was made by Lucifer-sama... how compassionate, isn't he?"

"You... are you demon?" Rin asked.

"No, I'm human." Gedōin grinned. "Unfortunately..." he flipped a few switches on his control, freeing the chimera zombie that was still alive.

What's going on? Kuro wondered when his seemingly dead enemy started moving.

"I just detonated elixir capsules that were previously put inside their bodies." Gedōin explained. "From an overdose of elixir, the destruction and regeneration of the flesh repeats itself. So they can no longer retain their original human form. Well, you should think of it as some form of doping. To maintain the extraordinary regenerative power, it will contain to absorb the surrounding materials. Seeking energy, it crawls into a crawling lump of meat."

"Everyone, step back." Yukio warned.

"How could you..." Rin snapped. "How could you do that? Don't you think there's something wrong?"

"I don't." Gedōin shrugged. "I hate humans." he glared. "Surely, you know that you use various animals in your scientific experiments. You slaughter other beings to live. That's the kind of living creatures humans are. Shouldn't you use your own selves in the first place? Humans using humans in experiments, this is only fair. If you think I'm wrong, I'm waiting for you to refute me."

"Nii-san, don't listen to him." Yukio warned.

"You don't do it?" Gedōin' grin widened. "Then keep your mouth shut. Insipid shallow hypocrites, face the righteous one and die."

"Gedōin!" Rin roared.

"Kamiki..." Shiemi spotted Kamiki entering the platform from the elevator.

"Izumo!" Rin shot towards the platform. "I came to save you."

"No, you don't." Shima blocked off Rin's sword before it could sever Kamiki's rope. "Hurry." he told the researchers. "I'm sorry, but I'm not handing Izumo to you, Okumura."

"Shima, what happened to you?" Rin demanded as they decked it out. "We're friends."

"You're still saying that?" Shima tsked. "I even warned you, didn't I?"

"Wake up!" Rin punched Shima across the face, before taking out the head researcher with Kamiki. "Izumo, I'll take care of you first." he reached out his hand. "Come! Hurry!"

"Doing whatever you want..." Kamiki muttered. "I don't need to be saved! Don't interfere! This is my problem alone!"

"Rin!" Shiemi warned when Yamantaka knocked Rin off the platform.

Everyone! Kuro jumped in.

"Kuro." Yukio turned to the feline familiar.

This isn't good anymore. Kuro looked at the mass of deformed flesh.

"This can't be..." Yukio was stunned. "We're cornered."

SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
