Fate 29
Bullet was by herself, watching the scene of airships taking on and off as she was left to her own thoughts. She was in the airship landing port of the 7th Hierarchical City of Kazamotsu with Sora and Makoto and they were getting ready to head towards the 6th Hierachical City of Yabiko to try and have a meeting with Kagura Mutsuki and hopefully gather any information they can get from the man. Kagura Mutsuki is also a close associate of professor Kokonoe so Bullet hopes that she would be able to meet the Red Devil by heading towards Yabiko. Where is Sora and Makoto at this very moment?
… We rewind the clock to just a few minutes…
FLASHBACK
BULLET POV
"Here you go ma'am. 3 tickets bound for Yabiko." The ticket clerk said as I simply nodded my head and walked back towards Sora and Makoto. They had tasked me with buying the tickets as they had some stuff they wished to discuss privately, most likely the guest we had back at the inn. I thought that it was just me dealing with my own issue with the Red Devil but it's clear that they also have their own devils that they are working through.
"Got the tickets. We got a few minutes before we board." I said, handing Sora and Makoto their tickets as they smiled and nodded their heads. "Tell me. What is Yabiko like besides being the headquarters of Kagura? It's going to be my first time in the area." Sora asked as Makoto scratched her head. "Sorry. I would like to give you more info but well… I decided that running away back to Otsu when I heard there was a possibility to gather more info about you came and I didn't really have any time to check out the city for what it was." Makoto explained as Sora smiled and nodded his head, gently ruffling Makoto's hair as she pouted.
"Do you remember the colloseum that you fought Azrael in? That's one of the city's main attractions." I explained as Sora nodded his head upon hearing that. "I see… so I was already in Yabiko at that time…" Sora said as I guess his mind must have been on other things at that moment. "Now that I think about it. What were you doing in Yabiko of all places when you were supposed to be at the cauldron in Ikaruga?" I questioned as Sora scratched the back of his neck, his eyes darting around to find an answer.
It had been at least 2 days since we met again but at the same time, this is not my first time with the man… at least not in this timeline. I don't know how or why… but I remember my time with him. I knew very well I had never met the man my entire life but yet that day, in the arena, that blue light made me remember. Of course there were some clear contradictions of the facts presented to me like us heading towards Ibukido's sealed cauldron and me having a previous confrontation with the Mad Dog and also the feeling my body felt as my life was slowly escaping from me at that time.
… My life from that moment huh… Now that I think about it, I never told him what truly happened to me on that day huh… I doubt that right now is the right time to do so but I guess that is why I am able to keep my memory of the man intact. The Bullet he met, got to know and fought with died and I inherited her memories… at least that is what I tell myself right now to deal with the insanity of the thoughts that currently swim in my mind almost uncontrolably.
"...I was brought to Yabiko when I fell into Ikaruga's cauldron." Sora explained as I couldn't help but widen my eyes upon hearing that news. I was about to say something like, "That's impossible, nobody would be able to survive such a fall." Thankfully, I stopped myself from saying such things as at this point, I should expect someone like Sora to be responsible for some crazy stuff. "So from Ikaruga's cauldron you ended up at Yabiko and interfered in that fight with Azrael." I said as Sora nodded his head.
"To be frank, I was simply lost. I did not know where that place was but I had to hurry regardless. I don't know how I knew but at the time, I just felt that I needed to go to that giant circle arena and you were there." Sora explained as I nodded my head upon hearing that. "And where were you when all of this was happening princess? Now that I think about it, I never saw you at the arena." I said, deciding to focus my gaze towards Makoto at that moment.
"Ummm… being in a coma." Makoto said as I simply nodded my head upon hearing that. "Yeah… that sounds totally logical." I said as I simply did not want to think further than that. If she's going to give me a simple answer then I will simply accept that answer and not question it any further. "Regardless. We are going to go to Yabiko and hope that the others are there with Kagura. It would really suck if they are not there when we arrive at the NOL headquarters there." Makoto said as Sora and I nodded our heads in agreement.
"Want me to leave you guys to yourselves for a bit? To have some lovey dovey time with each other." I said as Makoto's eyes widened upon hearing that. Before she could say a word, Sora simply smiled and nodded his head. "Thanks Bullet. I got some stuff I want to go through with you later if you don't mind." Sora said as I simply nodded my head. While it may not be obvious, just from their body language and their subtle facial expressions, those two clearly want to be with each other. Hell I haven't seen them separate from one another except when there is a fight.
As I walked away from the scene, I could see those two start to talk with each other again. Makoto Nanaya had a look of shock on her face and was obviously questioning Sora's decision while Sora smiled and spoke to her, most likely explaining to her that I understood how much they mean to each other and wanted to give them their personal space. The truth is… while that is true, I also wanted some personal time to myself to think about what has happened to me in my life these past few weeks and process the craziness of the world around me right now.
"Must be nice to have someone to talk your thoughts to…" I said to myself, expressing my own thoughts to the empty voices around me. Not being able to say what I was thinking and being forced to let them fester in my mind? I wonder how people handle this. I thought I would be used to this due to wandering around by myself for the longest time but spending time with Sora and the people he hangs around with tells me that there is more for me to learn.
I decided at that moment to go and find a scene to look at. As I walked through the busy port, my mind began to think about several things. All my life, I have searched for my captain, the reason why he and the others had to accept that mission. Whether or not my captain was even alive at that point or it was just the whispers and murmurs of dead ghosts. When I heard about a red devil and what he appeared as, I felt uneasy.
What if it is true? What if it's really him? Was I really ready to be face to face against that man once again and call him my captain? Was I ready for him to tell me off for not letting dead ghosts lie or worse, was I ready for silent confusion as he asked who I was? Am I even deserving to know the truth? A woman who couldn't stand by her comrades' side as she laid ill on a bed. One could call my survival of that day a miracle but at the same time to me… it's a curse that I must live with.
As I found a wooden box to sit on, my eyes began to watch the Airships take flight and port. The scenery helped me continue to focus these thoughts that linger in my own self monologue. Maybe I need to speak to myself most of all. After all, these memories I have, these feelings will not air themselves out on their own. Now that I think about it, my life had only become this chaotic become of me meeting that man in the forest.
Sora Minakaze… A fellow person cut from the same cloth. Maybe that is why I found it easy to talk to him in the first place. Someone who had lived the same harsh mercenary life… no maybe even worse because he was with the Black Lotus of all groups. If my group was known for taking on hard tasks, the Black Lotus were a bunch of maniacs, taking on all sorts of impossible tasks that culminated in the Black Rebellion. To think he even survived being in such a group is beyond me but where we worked with matters little to our past as mercenaries in general.
To find out he was dealing with own set of baggage… I don't really know what made me want to help him nor do I know what still compels me to be by his side. He was even kind enough to have me remain by his side and help me with my own issues… I don't know if I deserve a man that is truly this kind. "Is this the world's karma finally showing kindness towards me? Or secretly a curse that I am to bear." I could have kept that thought to myself but I just felt like saying it and it felt good to put words to thoughts.
Maybe I should return that kindness towards him by telling him the truth about my memories. I am pretty sure that he knows by now but at the same time I am not sure how much about my details he knows. The blue light he showed me… it gave me visions no… memories. I know that I lived through everything in my life. I had been searching for the truth the whole time and had decided to go to that Ragna The Bloodedge tournament just so I could get my answers.
I knew what I was getting into when I decided to enter that tournament. I did not expect to fight against the Mad Dog himself but I accepted that challenge without hesitation. I thought I was going to die but at the very least I would need to be treated under the NOL so if I could be awake at that time, I would have my chance to speak to Kagura and that would give me the chance to speak to Kokonoe. In hindsight, the beating I got from that man was too much for someone like me to even handle. I probably would have been completely unconscious at that point.
And then… just when I thought I was going to leave that arena a bloody mess, Sora showed up. I didn't even know who that man was but he still helped me regardless. Even when he was getting beat up, he did not stop. Then that blue light hit me and I was given a vision of something I did not expect. I at first thought it was some previous life bullshit but that wasn't it. No in fact, I lived through everything.
Everything about my life happened the same way but the events were completely different. Instead of trying to meet up with Kagura at the Battle for Ragna The Bloodedge Tournament, I was trying to meet him in some high fancy ball that was being held. If that was not weird enough, I also met the Mad Dog in that time and instead of fighting him in some arena where Ars Magus was getting interfered with, I was instead fighting him in the abandoned cauldron area of the 5th Hierarchical city.
I wish that the thoughts in my head were nothing but my attempts at being creative but there is no way I can really weave a tale that elaborate. That only leaves me one other option that I have to accept. I, the mercenary Bullet, have lived through and experienced all of that and they are now a permanent part of my memories no matter how hard I try to push them to the back of my head. That means everything I have gone through is real to me and the lies are the fact that nobody has tried to deny them.
...That also includes the aftermath of that fight with Azrael in the Cauldron. I am sure that Sora knows what is my fate that day and I don't feel the urge to say anything about it. In fact, I think if I were to speak about it, I would just bring up wounds he was trying to keep sealed away instead. It's the fact that I could have felt my body breathe it's last breath that day that lives in my mind. Death is something you experience once and to have that memory be a permanent part of me has probably instilled a new sense of mortality in me.
I mean… How do you explain to someone what dying is like? I felt the early morning rays hit my face at that moment as I winced, closing my eyes as the light the sun produced was simply blinding. At that moment I felt something get placed on my hand and it's warmth helped to warm my slightly cold hands. "Something on your mind?" Sora's voice questioned as I turned to face him at that moment, seeing what he had placed on my hand was a can of hot coffee.
"...You sure you should be talking to me by my lonesome like this? Aren't you afraid that your girlfriend will get mad at you talk to girls while she does her own thing?" I said as Sora scratched his head. "You know… that would be a good thing. Honestly with Makoto's list of fetishes, I worry about what she is not fine with more than what she secretly likes and is hiding from me." Sora said as I blinked a few times. "Are… you are just pulling my leg here right?" I said, hoping that what he said was just a joke.
"No not really. There's no leg being pulled. Makoto tends to have a lot of things she finds Kinky. Hell she has even said that she doesn't mind me eventually getting more women as long as I make sure she is the first." Sora said as I felt very much dread at this point. The seriousness of his voice told me everything as he simply nodded his head. "But I don't see you that way. Don't worry about that." Sora said as I blinked a few times.
"Though if you do have that kind of feeling. I would not try to fight against them. I would respectfully respect your desires." Sora continued as I raised my hand to stop him. "Please… there's a lot running through my mind at the moment after hearing all of that. I just need a minute." I said as Sora respectfully gave me a minute to do so. "...Look I understand love and how complicated it is… but at the same time I don't think I can love anybody at the moment." I said, explaining myself properly.
Sora: Because of your unresolved baggage?
Bullet:… Thanks for trying to be nice about it but yes, I still need to figure out what happened to my captain.
Sora: What aspect of your captain are you trying to figure out.
Bullet:… So you realize it too.
Sora:… Sorry, I wanted to give you the space before I brought it up. Was it too soon?
"… No. It's fine." I said, reassuring him that I did not mind what he had just said. "Thanks for giving me the space to process everything. Is that what you asked to talk to me about?" I questioned as Sora nodded his head, sitting right next to me at that moment. "I need to know. How are you holding up? I know that the memories you got from Balmung's blue light are one thing but at the same time, I don't want them causing you any trouble." Sora explained as I couldn't help but smile at his considerate nature.
"It's fine. It's like having a second point of view. A dream that I remember every single detail that I remember of." I said, smiling as I said so as Sora nodded his head upon hearing that. "So tell me this… What are you going to ask your captain about?" Sora questioned as I smiled, having figured he would know that much. "Well… a lot of things… but at the same time it's complicated." I said as Sora gave me a look that told me he needed more details.
"Well… I know who my captain is. I know what group he is working with and why he's working with them. The one thing I cannot figure out is why he would want to have his memories removed…" The moment I said those words, Sora stared at me like a deer with headlights as he must have not know how to handle what he had just been handed. "Wait… your captain willingly chose to have his memories erased?" Sora questioned as I nodded my head at that.
"That's what I want an answer for now. I need to know what he saw that day that made him want to erase his memory of everything… including me." I said as I held the can of coffee tightly on my hand. "Do...Do you think he resented that he did not do enough to save everyone? Resented the fact that he left me behind that he would rather forget about everything?" I questioned as I knew personally that was not what he was like but at the same time, the doubt at the back of my head refused to let that go.
"… I don't speak for the man nor for those that forget who they are but as someone who has had their identity ripped away from the people they care about, memory erasure is something not done without reason." Sora said, surprising me with his response. I thought he would have started with trying to comfort me or give me some reassurance but I did not expect this answer. "Is this from experience or something else?" I questioned, wanting to get the logic behind his words.
"It's simple really. What I am trying to say is that sometimes, thinking about things does nothing for you and you should focus on the now instead of the why." Sora explained, surprising me with his response as I did not know what to say about what he said. It's truly bizarre the response he had just given me as I am not sure how to respond or even say. "You should still find the people who can give you the answers regardless. Having something that eats on you inside will do nothing but bad things. Closure is something you want obviously." Sora said as I nodded my head at that.
"… And when you find that closure, How do you plan to live afterwards." Sora questioned as I looked at him surprised at that. "I… I don't know. I have spent so long trying to find my captain and the answer behind my group's death that I…" I couldn't find the words to finish that sentence. I cannot say that I didn't think about what life will be afterwards because I did, but at the same time I did not know if it was right for me to think of such things when I may never get the closure that I deserve.
"If you want… if I ever have something going on, you are free to come to me for work." Sora said, making me look at him with surprise. "The truth is, I was wandering the world for the longest time, trying to find my place in the world but this whole mess has given me a new lease on life. I still wish to explore more of the world but I don't want to do it under the banner of any group." Sora explained as I nodded my head at that.
"I haven't discussed things with Makoto yet but I hope once all of this is over, I would be able to start my own organization." Sora explained as I tilted my head at that. "A new mercenary/vigilante group I am guessing?" I questioned as Sora tilted his head. "Still working on the kinks but I am thinking more like what the Military Academy does in Torifune. It's still an early dream but I do wish to one day pass down everything I have learned over the years to the new generation while also going on more trips around the world. Can't do that if I am anchored to any group." Sora explained as I nodded my head at that.
"I am saying that if you find your answer and you are unable to find a place to fit in, I am happy to open my arms to you and have you part of my new venture." Sora explained as I couldn't help but have my eyes widen upon hearing that. "I know this is a lot for me to say to someone who I know for roughly a week but at the same time, I want to offer you one option that you can take if you wish." Sora said as I couldn't help but smile at the generosity of his words.
"Are you sure you want to do all of this for free? Don't you want to give something up in order to work with you?" I questioned as I am very familiar with these kind of deals and the trade offs that they bring. I know that Sora is not that kind of person but at the same time I wanted to make sure he was not doing this out of pity. "I am serious here Bullet. I know this may feel like I am throwing you a bone and I understand what it looks like but at the end of the day, I want to help you in whatever way I can."
The way he spoke with genuine interest towards me and knowing him from just the short time we have been together, I can tell that he was serious with his words. "… I will think about your offer when I resolve my whole mess." I said, giving the most neutral answer I could give at that moment, not wanting to raise any kind of hope with the man if I can afford it. Sora simply smiled however, as if to show he understood the reluctance that was on my face at that moment.
"That's the best I can expect right now. I won't try to force you to accept things as they are right now. Once you have settled your matters and feel you are ready to proceed with the next step of your life then you can come knocking my way." Sora said, jumping off the crate he was sitting on to look at me. "Which means we should first focus on getting ourselves towards Yabiko and trying to figure out where everyone is right now. Sounds like a good plan?" Sora questioned as I couldn't help but make a smile.
"That sounds like a good idea."
As Sora and Bullet talked to each other, Makoto took a deep breath as she sipped on the can of coffee that Sora bought for her. Her mind was allowed to think about what has happened so far and she was not happy that the masked bastard of all people made her reveal the fact that she was disappearing. She had hoped to keep that a secret for as long as possible to not worry Sora about what was happening with her but that was not what was on her mind at that moment.
"...Carl…" Makoto said. She cannot help but think about Carl and how he was with the masked man. What had happened to the boy that made him go with such a man in the first place. She had hopes that her advice to him would help make sure he does not follow the same path that the masked freak took. The problem is that the masked freak was near him and able to influence him in whatever manner he wished to do so.
"Sigh why is there so much shit happening right now…" Makoto complained, sipping her can of white coffee as she could feel the rush of coffee in her system. She had been trying to avoid drinking alcohol but at the same time, she felt that a cold one from a beer at that moment would be so nice. But there was no time to be drunk right now, she needed to maintain her focus on the goal in front of her. The scotch and whiskey can wait until everything is over and when she was not going to vanish from the world.
"Do you still regret your decision that day?" A voice echoed in her mind as Makoto immediately leapt, her tail standing on attention as she looked around her surroundings frantically. Hearing a familiar voice like she did come from what felt like behind her was enough to give her a good fright. She then realized what she had done had attracted eyes on her as she simply cleared her throat and brushed her white hair to the side as she sat down on her chair, trying to calm herself down.
"My, now that is a reaction if I ever saw one." The voice continued as Makoto took a deep breath, trying and managing not to freak out for a second time as she relaxed herself on her seat and focused on just staring at her canned drink. "Well I am not Sora who is used to all of this inner voice stuff Amy… A little bit of warning would have been nice." Makoto complained, getting a giggle to come out from the disembodied voice in her head right now.
"Consider this revenge for making my job a living hell when we had the displeasure of facing off against each other." Amy said, Makoto pouting at her answer as she knew at this moment Amy was just teasing her. "So are you just going to haunt me like a ghost as revenge or are you going to tell me the reason why you are doing this to me?" Makoto questioned, wondering what Amy had to say to her at that moment as she could feel a smile that was pointed her way.
"Well… I figured you wanted some company. Must be lonely being all by your lonesome without father around to keep you company." Amy said, Making Makoto smile before she couldn't help but blink a few times hearing that. "W...W...Wait a minute… Father?" Makoto said, caught off guard by the response she was given as Amy's giggle was heard in her mind. "Well… I haven't asked him yet about it. But you should know by now that Sora's body was originally my father's." Amy said, giving Makoto a lot to process at that moment.
"Sora's….your father's body." Makoto said, rubbing her hands to keep herself warm. "Indeed. Sora's my father's reincarnated self. Interesting isn't it." Amy said as Makoto did not know how to feel about what she was hearing. "Did… Did you know…" Makoto questioned as Amy suddenly became quiet upon hearing that statement. Makoto waited for a response but Amy's silence spoke more words as Makoto briefly felt her blood boil but knew better to lash out on her before hearing the full story.
"If I could, I would have genuinely chosen to have father not be erased. But as you now know, Father's existence as a Black Beast heart made it too dangerous for him to continue his existence. Black beasts in general are a threat to society that if unchecked could cause untold destruction." Amy explained, understanding that even if she gave a good reason for her actions, that was not grounds for forgiveness in Makoto's eyes.
"… If it makes it up to you… knowing that father was in front of me and I was going to erase him… made me feel guilty because I was going to destroy the reason why I wanted him to live in the first place." Amy said as Makoto closed her eyes, taking her time to process what she had just heard as she was not sure what to think at that moment. "Tell me this then… Why even wish for your father to have a second chance in life in the first place?" Makoto questioned, wanting to understand the complex feelings that come from this situation.
"… To be honest, seeing father alive, even if it's a different version of him, made me so happy. Yet at the same time, the more I look at him, the more I feel guilty for denying father's body from it's proper rest." Amy explained as Makoto tilted her head at that. "Sora's body? Not his soul?" Makoto questioned, reasonable in her confusion as Amy knew that needed some explaination. "When father was tossed into the Boundary that day… his soul did not survive. Even if I didn't make that wish, his body would have eventually turned into something else entirely." Amy explained as Makoto did not know how to feel about what she had heard.
"The only thing I have to remember my father by is his body… that's my final connection with the man. Even if he looks much younger than he did when I knew him in life, that is still my father's face that Sora has currently. It's just complicated for me." Makoto couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness from Amy's words as it was clear that Sora's existence made it difficult for Amy. "Tell me… Have you gone through all of this with Sora already?" Makoto questioned, curious about it.
Amy:… Of course not. How am I supposed to tell him all of what I told you
Makoto: Because he has your father's face or something else?
Amy:… mainly because he bears a resemblance to the man I called father but at the same time… I have to see Sora as his own person and not the person who once existed.
Makoto: Alright then… in that case, why tell me all of this then? Aren't you afraid I will tell Sora all of this in return?
Amy: I don't mind you doing so. Hell, maybe it's for the best you do so, saves me from being a chicken about all of this and face my fear right in the face.
'Face her fear huh… that's some big talk she's using right there.' Makoto thought as Amy took a couple of deep breaths in her head. "There's something I got to ask… How the hell are you still here even as a soul? Without your body, wouldn't you just fade eventually?" Makoto questioned as she figured now was the time for her to start moving to meet back up with Sora and Bullet. "I wonder about that too to be honest… but I think I may have a good reason why." Amy said as this intrigued Makoto. "Well don't keep quiet, say it out." Makoto said, insisting that Amy said what was on her mind.
"… Even though I did so many bad things to him, made his life a living hell his entire life. Tried to erase him even. Yet at the same time he has not given up on me even once. In fact, he still wanted to forge a friendship with me." Amy explained as this intrigued Makoto greatly. "That does sound like Sora alright. Even though he may not show any kind of expression on his face, he is genuinely a nice guy deep down." Makoto said, showing her understanding of her boyfriend.
"...Maybe he feels a sense of regret for not being able to save me that time. That may explain why I can exist as a voice in your head right now." Amy explained as Makoto thought about what she said before realizing that she had missed something. "You do realize that there is one key detail about what you said that you are missing right?" Makoto said as this was a big surprise to Amy. "Am I? What else could I be missing from that? Isn't it clear that's the reason why?" Amy questioned as Makoto shook her head despite knowing that she would look crazy for doing so.
"You missed the fact that Sora deep down hates sacrifices." The moment Makoto said those words, things began to click in Amy's head as Makoto took a look at the outside, seeing a beautiful morning sun in her eyes. "Too many times people sacrificed themselves for him. He would rather be the one who sacrifices everything over people he cares for. As long as he can be a shield for the people he loves, he will do anything… and I mean anything." Makoto explained as Amy tilted her head upon hearing that statement.
"I understand most of that, but at the same time, why am I still speaking to you as just a soul? I understand that as his nature as a Black Beast he would be drawn to souls but…" Makoto immediately took a deep breath and stomped the ground, grabbing everyone's attention before she blushed and looked away, getting people to talk about her being a weirdo in the middle of the port. "The method he saved your soul doesn't matter Amy. It's the reason why he did so in the first place that is more important in general with him." Makoto said as Amy sounded more confused, requiring Makoto to say it frankly out for her to know.
"Sora must be deep down subconsciously protecting your soul. Hoping to find a way to bring you back." Makoto said as her revelation caught Amy off guard. " And I know what you are going to say but knowing it's Sora. That's probably the wish that is in his heart. Sure you have hurt him and I am not going to forgive you for trying to erase him anytime soon but at the same time, I know that Sora in general will not wish for any kind of ill will towards you and believes you deserve to exist physically."
As soon as Makoto finished her explanation, she could hear audible silence come from Amy's side. She knew what she had just said must be completely inconceivable for Amy to understand. Sure Sora had no reason to try and save Amy but knowing him well enough told Makoto that Sora would do no such thing as to abandon Amy if he could save her. "I know that is a lot for someone like to process but do take the time to think about it. You are after all 'Dead'." Makoto said, using that as her cue to leave at that moment.
Amy was not sure how to process what she had heard. Sora wanted to give her a new body to inhabit? Why would he want to do something like that in the first place. The fact that she was nothing but a soul at this very moment would have made her a much less significant threat yet all Sora could think was how he could give her a body. This made her feel conflicted on how she should feel about Sora Minakaze and Makoto Nanaya at this very moment. She had tried to make their lives a living hell, all to fulfill the role she was given by the azure and yet at this very moment, she had to face the fact that at least one of them is willing to forgive her.
...And for some reason, that terrified her over being just hated…
