"Thank you for healing my wound though it doesn't matter now a days," she said then looked at her perplexed. "What? What do you mean you don't see what's going on? I always thought you were blind and naive to alot of things but evil I thought you'd see plain as day ... the darkness caused from the battle has manifested itself as the blood we seep and there's a being aboard this ship trying to use it ... what else do you need to know? I'm too weak to go find and help Zetsuei and Fira. Go help them ... I'll look after Shinja. Please go!"

Frustrated Maki moved closer to Shinja and layed his back against her chest, remembering where he hid the flask of liquor she held him close in case he needed it.

"You should stop trying to see people as you picture them and see them as they really are," she said. "You can't have good without evil, it exists everywhere. It just happens to be manifesting itself as a man aboard this ship right now, it's hard to explain. Someone is using the dark blood that was in me and Shinja, the darkness inside me mentioned "he" was gone for now. I know it just a matter of time before "he" kills us all. But right now he's probably after Zetsuei and Fira for helping me get away from the vines ... just try to see what we see and you will know."

Before she could get angry again Maki just looked down at Shinja and waited.

"...the hell...?"

Shocked yet still upkeeping a calm expression, Shinja suddenly stood up in the middle of the dark room. Both the blue light and Maki had disappeared in only a moment. "What's going on...? Shouldn't I have been brought back with Maki...?" Shinja suddenly felt an extreme chill as he slipped his coat back. "Mind over matter...this cold shouldn't be affecting me...something's wrong." Shinja slowly lifted his sword and rested the flat side of it on his shoulder, keeping a firm grip on its hilt as he began to look around.

After what had seemed like hours of walking, Shinja stopped when he felt something on his foot and heard the clanging of metal hitting the floor.

He had knocked over his flask.

He'd been walking in circles for hours.

"Something is definately not right."

*****************************************

Meanwhile, Shinja's body was starting to grow colder than before.

Underneath his coat...the black, smoke-like scar was starting to lick the skin covering his heart.

*****************************************

Tenshin tried to step to the side, but it was too late. Zetsuei managed to heavily scratch Tenshin's right shoulder due to the side-step. "Fool. You don't even understand...there's nothing left of the true Tenshin...he's nothing more than my pawn."

Inside, Tenshin was screaming for help.

"Believe what you want, but there is still some of his old self in there and with that he can still fight your control"

Focusing energy into his palm his gun vanished from the side of the room and appeared into his palm.

"I know you can hear me Tenshin, you have to fight the control he has on your mind. Dont let him win"

Running with great speed he created after images of himself as he zig zagged back and forth towards Tenshin. Putting his finger on the trigger he slashed at Tenshin with his claws and was ready to follow up with a spirit blast shot.

An orb of flames formed in Fira's hand, it was a bright blue which was not fatail at all. If Tenshin was controled by another, then she didn't not want to hurt him.

Even as Fira stood in the side lines watching, the fight fasinated her. She observed a bit tired from the lack of sleep, yet carefully paied attention in case she needed to attack.

As Maki held Shinja close she could feel him getting cold and hugged him tighter.

"Come on," she said. "Come back to me ... please."

Maki searched his pockets for his flask and found it. Opening the flask she gently poured a little into his mouth and rubbed his throat so he'd swallow it.

"Please... you promised we'd stick together," she said closing the flask and hugging him tighter. "You promised."

"So, you're in here too, huh?"

Shinja's eyes widened for a moment as he realized who was speaking to him. The blue-clad figure emerged from the darkness holding an oversized scythe on his shoulder in the same way that Shinja held his Kusanagi sword.

"T...Tenshin...? Is that really you?!"

*******************************************

In the real world, Tenshin's body stopped moving.

At the same time, Shinja's heart stopped beating.

It seemed as though everything but Shinja and Tenshin were alive and moving.

*******************************************

Deep within his lair, even Shinja's malevolent twin brother Sett was shocked and totally overwhelmed at the sudden cease of movement.

What was going on...?

Seeing the movements of Tenshin stop, Zetsuei thought it was the control Sett had over Tenshin had weakened. Taking advantage of this time Zetsuei lunged his claws towards the left shoulder of Tenshin inches above his heart.

"Fight it Tenshin,you have to fight his control."

"NOOOOOO!" Maki screamed holding him tighter and closed her eyes as tears poured down from them. "Please don't leave me."

As Maki closed her eyes a blue light appeared in the darkness and soon Maki passes out from stress and enters the darkness.

=============================

"Shinja? SHINJA!!!!" She screamed into the darkness and began running. Letting her heart lead the way. "Shinja! Can you hear me?!"

Suddenly, a small hole that projected white light appeared in the dark room that Shinja and Tenshin were standing in. Next to it stood a man in a thick cloak, his size and voice similiar to Shinja's as he spoke.

"I don't know how you managed to release yourself from my hold, Tenshin, but I assure you, you will die today...With that said, i'd like to play a little game with you two...especially you, brother."

Shinja's eyes were wide as he looked at the hooded man.

"Sett...no...how did you--"

"Shut it, brother. Now...here is the single rule of this game. One of you can leave this place, completely cured of whatever your...impediment...is; Tenshin's being my control over him, and Shinja's being the ORB's manifestation within him...while the other must stay behind, bearing both impediments. Now...who will it be? I'll leave it to you..." The man let out an evil laugh before disappearing.

Shinja was the first to speak.

"Tenshin, you have to go. I'm of no use to them anymore. You know Sett's whereabouts, and he'll be expecting me to show up there, which is why you must go."

"No, Lord Shinja! They need you! I'll be damned before I let you die!"

Shinja sighed before standing up and replying.

"Then you'll be damned."

Suddenly, Shinja grabbed Tenshin and threw him into the light.

"Forgive me...my son."

******************************************

His pulse now gone and his eyes closed, Shinja's corpse began to glow.

In the control room, however, Tenshin's body suddenly moved as he firmly grabbed Zetsuei's clawed hand.

At the same time, tears fell from both Shinja and Tenshin's eyes.

"Father..."

Stopping as Tenshin grabbed his hand, Zetusuei placed the barrels of his gun against the chest of Tenshin. The barrels began to glow as he channeled his energy into the rounds.

"If I have to kill you to set you free then I will"

Maki ran through the darkness blindly until a glow appeared ahead of her.

"Shinja!!!" she shouted running as fast as she could towards the light not realizing her own skin was starting to glow a light bluish color. A sense of warmth overcame her and along with sadness. She wasn't sure what it was but knew something is happening.

Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2006 7:30 am

With tears in his eyes, Tenshin lifted his head up, his eyes back to their normal, blue color. "Don't bother...i'm free. I just wish father was too..." Tenshin pushed Zetsuei's gun away from his chest before opening his fist, letting his scythe shrink until it eventually became a sphere of blue electricity before it disappeared.

*************************************

Back in Maki's room, Shinja's body was floating in the air, still surrounded by the white light from before. With his final breath, he turned his head to Maki. "I'm sorry...I never got a chance to say...just how much I..."

Unable to finish his sentence, Shinja's dead body disappeared as a mass of pyreflies filled the room.

Holstering his gun, Zetsuei's eyes returned to normal as well.

"What do you mean... what is going on. What has Sett done now?

Posted: Mon Nov 06, 2006 3:04 pm

Fira was confused as Tenshin's scythe retreated back into a blue sphere. The orb of blue fire she held in her hand quickly faded aswell, leaving a few whisp of flames before disapearing. "He's free?" She mutter more to herself trying to make sense of the situation.

Maki finally found Shinja but he was fading. She ran up to him and a threw her arms around his neck. Not realizing another presense in the darkness.

"Please don't go," she cried and held him tight. "Please ... we need you ... I need you."

=======================================

In the real world Maki laid still on the floor, a tear streamed down her cheek as the cold floor chilled her face. Though unconscious, she somehow knew he was gone.
