 TEN "That's not true and you know it. You have always come first, there were times your father didn't come before myself, and vise versa, but you always came first before us both. You're upset, and you're putting lies into your mind. I am too--I think of your dad every minute I can and it still seems like hours ago Lucian Killed him Eleven." Ten walked over to her son, who she had been distant from, they hadn't been together much since his father died. Placing her hand on his back, she wanted Eleven to know she was there for him, she was there for whatever he had planned for everyone if needed. If he didn't need her, she would leave again. "I want that b*****d dead--" She spoke in low voice.

Her steps were light and her feet seemed to float more than step along the path she was on. Her icy blue eyes gazed at Ten quietly and in her hand she held tightly onto her bow. There was blood at either end of the bows tips but there was an aura of balance around her. It was demonic and divine all at once, as if the female was in perfect balance with the universe. While her body was physically present and ethereal nature made it seem she was more ghost than person at this point. "Lady Ten. I apologize for being so late but there were personal matters I had to attend to." Shu spoke with an empty tone of voice. She had literally disappeared and faked her death on her own accord not once but twice. There was little more reason outside of her unyielding loyalty to Zaibatsu that led to it. "Are you prepared to see this war end once and for all?" Her voice offered little comfort but the harsh-chill of her eyes spoke numbers. The woman clearly lacked any form of remorse now. Her tenets long ago and this was the result of her die hard resolve to redeem herself fully. Shufang had achieved perfect balance in her blood and soul between the good and evil. Her only purpose now was to finish out her sworn oath to die defending Zaibatsu.

Eleven ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Perhaps you misunderstand me. I have never been first in your mind. I have never been the thing you wanted to protect. you have always come first in your mind. You have always been the first priority for your actions. It has always been what you wanted." Eleven knew Ten would disagree but he had amplitudes of evidence to prove he was right. "Name one time you put me first and I will name hundreds where you put yourself first." That was when Nora appeared and questioned why she had been summoned. Eleven turned to respond only for Shu to enter the throne room and speak to his mother. After a moment of noting the girls balance Eleven turned back to Nora. He was glad to see she was not obsessing over him anymore it was relieving to be honest. "I imagine you know why you and Silas were called here. I need-" Eleven paused as a voice inside his mind interrupted him.
"He's coming." The voice claimed. Unfortunately for Eleven, his responses were aloud so the entire room could hear him. It would seem that Eleven was speaking to himself.
"How long do we have?"
"Minutes at best. My father has set the beast upon the city."
"I was not expecting him to summon the Medium. Maybe Silas could neutralize some of the beasts power. It should at least be enough to even out the battle. I should send for him again."
"It's too late. I saw the casino. It has been overrun, and Silas was inside, alone."
"I should tell the girl."
"Not yet, there is still more to fear coming."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Stand for something, or fall for nothing."

TEN Ten didn't argue with her son, she just shook her head. "I wish you were here, I've lost you and my son, there isn't even a reason for me to live any longer" In that moment with Eleven, she realized she wanted to be killed, she would do whatever she could to have lucian take her, Eleven had grown out of his mother, and her husband wasn't there to keep the bond.
Ten turned to Shu and nodded. "That's quite alright. I have been away myself, for quite a long time. And I can dream of nothing more than and end Shu--that is for sure." But her attention was back to her son when he began speaking loudly. "What-----girl?--" She drew concerned for her boys sanity.

Nora had never wanted to be in the same room as Ten, the woman who had done horrible things to her to keep her from her son. "I am not sure why we were summoned. Silas choose to stay behind."

Her gaze didn't falter but there was a weak sense of sorrow pinching at her memory of the emotion. " There will be no winning this fight." Shu spoke bluntly as Eleven spoke out loud. Her chilling gaze set upon him for a moment as the words escaped her lips. "You are not alone in that sentiment Lady Ten. I must insist that you let me die first so that I do not live to see me fail my only oath." Shu commented mentally towards Ten and Eleven. She did not dare to utter the words aloud. Shu shifted her gaze to the woman, Nora. There was a silence as she studied the female for a moment before Shufang shook her head. It seemed there would only be more pain before this day and world finally came to an end.

Eleven ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Quiet Ten I am speaking with-" Eleven paused and looked towards the throne again as he realized he probably should have told his mother long ago who he was speaking with. He should have told her he could speak to the dead. He should have told her that for the last five years he had been plotting with his father to defeat Lucian. Eleven had learned things, he had learned specifically one move, one little shift that he could use to win the war. "Father."
"Less than three minutes. " The voice said in Eleven's head.
"Nora, Shu, mother, if you want to survive this, hide. Or stand and fight with me. I can not promise any of up will walk out of here, but I can promise that someone will die. "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Stand for something, or fall for nothing."

TEN It was as if Ten's dark heart lit up in that moment of time, though she mis-understood her son. He wasn't alive, they weren't talking together with a living body, but for a second, she thought for a second there could be that possibility.
"Nine--What, what!" Ten reached for her son's should. "What do you mean you're talking to your father. Why is he responding to you but never me? Where is he, is he here? Can I talk to him? Tell him I---" Ten had a million things to tell her husband, to say, but she would never get too.
Ten turned to Shu "Who says we're dying?" Ten never would admit she felt death now, she wanted nothing left of this world, this life. Nothing would be more important than her family, that has now fallen.

Lucian  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I would like to believe I say you are all going to die. In fact I can prove it in a matter of seconds. " Lucian voice rang out in the throne room even though the mad king was no where to be seen. Because of this, Eleven did not respond to his mother. He pulled free of her grip and summoned a sword to his side.
"Duck in three seconds and then roll to the right. Once you do kick forward off the ground." The voice spoke directly into Eleven's mind. "Then shield Shu."
Eleven did as ordered. Three seconds past swiftly before Eleven duck, barely avoiding an arrow as it soared over his head, then he rolled to the right avoiding a dense cloud of fog as it slammed into where Eleven had been standing. However the cloud quickly adjusted and chased after the rolling Eleven. Eleven then pushed forward off the ground as instructed only to avoid three more arrows soaring from the cloud. When Eleven stood again he threw his hand out to Shu as a wall of energy appeared in front of her to block three arrows going towards her. Eleven drew his sword and as he did he felt his powers fail him. They all would feel their powers failing as Lucian shut down all abilities in the room accept for his own. When he did the voices in Eleven's head's went silent, so did the warnings.
The black cloud remained in the center of the throne room constantly swirling around the same spot as it waited for someone to move. Eleven looked over at Nora with a clear message. He wanted her to run, but he was not going to make her. He wasn't in a position to ask Nora to do anything. Then Eleven looked over at his mother and Shu, whom was no longer protected by the barrier he had made to stop the arrows. After what felt like hours of standing in place three arrows shot forth from the black smoke. Eleven smacked the first two aside with his sword and caught the third as the cloud surged forward towards the throne where Eleven's cube remained. In a matter of a second the black smoke had surrounded the Zaibatsu throne and Eleven had thrown the arrow like a knife into the black cloud. There was an explosion of light that spread the black smoke around the entire throne room. Evidently it cause too much of a strain on Lucian's mist like form because the smoke quickly reformed into Lucian's solid body. "So, shall we begin?" The Mad King said as he stood with two swords in hand.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"If you think this has a happy ending, then you haven't been paying attention."

Nora had forgotten about silas, it had been years since they were apart, and for the first time Lucian’s presence made it so. He was strong, he didn’t need her, he would be fine. When that idea calmed her anxious heart, She looked around the room, unknowing what to do, but the first thing that came to her mind was to turn off everyone’s abilities, a trick Silas had taught her in their time together. She had hoped this would also prevent Lucian from doing anything. Then she realized, it was Lucian who had shut them down.
an arrow flew past her, she grabbed it, she knew she would need something beside her sword, but the gaze upon Eleven’s face told her to flee. She wouldn’t. The only person she could flee too would be Silas, and he told her to run as well. She wasn’t going to be running any longer.
Shutting down everyone’s abilities, it was quick to see Ten realized this had happened. Ten wasn’t a fighter as it was, and now what she had ability wise had been revoked. She came to eleven’s call without any weaponry, she hadn’t thought about battle since her husband died and choose to mourn instead. When she realized she had nothing to protect her son due to the disgusting human’s choice of action, Ten reached for Nora’s sword, as Nora seemed to willingly let her take the dragon bone handle and drew it from her hip.
Within the moment of Ten drawing Nora’s sword, Nora had stopped paying attention to her surroundings, and that was then an arrow impaled her shoulder. Peircing through the flesh of Nora’s delicate skin, her collar bone snapped upon attack. It would be moments before her body could discharge the arrow, and she would live, but as she bled, she had forgotten her abilities were turned off as she ripped the arrow from her frame.

Lucian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eleven looked over at Nora once again to see she had been hit by an arrow. Then he turned to face Lucian. Eleven couldn't be distracted. He couldn't care about anyone in the room. That was the only way to win the fight. Eleven tossed his sword back and forth between his hands for a moment before he charged forward at Lucian. The Mad King smiled and, with a slight bounce, burst forward at his grandson. They crossed blades immediately but Lucian did not make things easy. He used his second sword to smack aside Eleven's but the younger of the warriors seemed all too ready. When Eleven's sword was smacked aside he quickly jabbed Lucian in the throat with his free hand before bringing his sword back into the air and slashing downward diagonally. Lucian caught Eleven's sword in he curve of his own before pulling the blade away from Eleven's grip. Without a sword Eleven was no less threatening.
Immediately once his sword was pulled from his grip Eleven cracked his knuckles across Lucian's face. The Mad King stumbled backwards slightly but was able to recover. He swung his the curved blade in his left hand upwards diagonally at Eleven who grabbed the blade with his bare hand and pulled it away from Lucian. Eleven did not hold onto the sword though, he threw it across the room and tackled Lucian. When he was tackled the Mad King dropped his other sword and scrambled to grip Eleven's throat. Eleven did not give Lucian the time.Straddling Lucian's body on the floor, the younger of the numbered warriors began wailing on his grandfather's face. right, left, right, left, right, left, and so on and so forth the punches came over and over. The Mad King turned into metal but found Eleven was denting his face and so he chose to run. Exploding into a cloud of black smoke, Lucian surrounded Eleven. But the Spymaster was more than prepared. Eleven reached into his pocket and brought out another small cube. He crushed the cube in his hand and another massive burst of light scattered the smoke throughout the throne room.
Lucian's solid body was blown backwards into the wall and Eleven, through a display of great speed had seized the Mad King by the throat. "How does it feel? Your powers failing you in your time of need?" Eleven punched Lucian in the stomach and then turned and threw the king across the room. "I have had five years to study you methods. It started with Ellie!" Eleven charged forward and slid on his knees going under Lucian's incoming punch. Once behind the King, Eleven turned and slammed his fist against the inside of Lucian's right knee causing it to buckle. Then Eleven wrapped his arm around Lucian's neck and began to squeeze the air from his grandfather. "I saw you turn into smoke before killing her. I knew I would need a way around that and so I came to your side. I began working on something. But it was not enough, I didn't have enough time, your conquest was spreading to quickly. I knew that within five years you would take the world. So I had my father go back. Back beyond the war, beyond your resurrection. He didn't tell me to do anything related to you, he told me to devise a tool that could turn intangible objects into tangible ones. I developed the cubes. Then you came back and I altered the construction so that I could best your most obvious move. I cheated time to beat you and you never saw it coming." Eleven was silenced when Lucian reached out and his sword flew forward into his hand. The Mad King drove the blade through his own body and into Eleven's before twisting and tearing it out. Both men fell, Eleven fell backwards onto his back and Lucian fell forward onto his stomach, but Lucian began to stand again. His body was healing; Eleven's was not.
Now Lucian attacked. He savagely kicked Eleven's sides while the boy was on the floor. He beat the boy's head and neck, arms and legs, everything until it look damaged beyond repair, but in doing so he forgot about everyone else in the room, leaving himself open to any and every attack.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"If you think this has a happy ending, then you haven't been paying attention."

Nora didn’t know what death felt like, not true death. The closest she had ever experienced death was when Ten had driven her sword into her, and that day she learned she could heal herself from death, but what could she do now without her abilities?
As the pain radiated throughout Nora’s body, she fell to the floor, watching the battle between lucian Eleven on her side. There was something she needed to do, there had to be something she could do for not only herself, but for everyone else, so she tried to stop Lucian’s abilities, with what she had left in her, she hoped the frequencies from her ability would interrupt his, and he would loose the ability to prevent anyone from having their powers.
It was then she watched Ten come from behind Lucian as he dismantled her son. Raising Nora’s sword up, she went to drive the blade into Lucian from behind. There was nothing else she could do, her powers had been stripped.

Lucian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eleven rolled slightly on the ground, his entire body black and blue for only a few seconds before it was restored. His body had healed, he had healed in a time where Lucian was preventing all powers in the room. So how had he done it? Quiet simply really. Eleven cheated time to create the cubes that would neutralize Lucian's smoke form, that was not all he created. Eleven had been preparing for this fight for centuries, everything that was happening he had come to expect. He had a man who could go forward in time speaking directly into his mind. Eleven couldn't loose not while he was controlling the battle. Lucian noted the change and withheld his punches for a moment. One moment too long though as Eleven drove his heel into Lucian's chest sending the King backward and impaling him on Nora's sword as Ten drove the blade forward. Lucian stumbled forward slightly, tearing the blade out of him only to be tripped by a now standing Eleven. "I have had years to plan out this one battle. There is no situation I have not accounted for, no variable that I have not foreseen. As I said before this began when you killed Ellie," Eleven walked over and kicked Lucian's side, rolling the King onto his back. "and it ended when you killed my father." Eleven smiled for a moment and reached across the room. The ring on his finger began to glow and his sword flew from across the room into his hand. Eleven raised it to bring an end to this war but only found Lucian was gone. In an instant everything went so wrong.
"Ten or Nora. It is time you make a choice. Pay the price that all men pay." Lucian's voice rang out in the throne room though their was no body or source anywhere to be found. Eleven looked over to Shu, someone he knew was clever enough to find most people but couldn't spend very long looking to her for answers before an arrow sprouted from the floor causing Eleven to leap back slightly. One thing was clear, Nora and Ten were in danger and Eleven needed help.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"If you think this has a happy ending, then you haven't been paying attention."

Nora healed herself, but she didn’t celebrate so quickly, instead she ran over to her sword that had impaled Lucian’s body. She stopped and turned to Eleven. “What is he——“ She looked over at Ten then as well.
“Silas—“ Nora called to him waiting for an answer.
