Takara took a step towards him, searching her mind for reasons, ideas, anything. For some reason, she felt troubled, as though she couldn't bear fighting him. Perhaps it was an effect of Einlanzer. Her voice continued in its soft tone, reminding one of the wind.
"Why do you do this?..."

"This is where I grew up... This is my kingdom, my battlefield. Its a land where you kill or you die... that is life here. The extremes of Yin and Yang. They were part of the problem, so I ended that part."
His tone was still cold.
"That still doesnt tell me what you want."

Takara was silent a moment, thinking. Why was she here?...She wanted to find out why he was killing and to stop him from killing innocents. Few truly deserved to die, at least in her experience.
"I want to know why you're killing these people. What is the point of coming here simply to kill? Why? And..I also want to stop you..."
Her very last sentence echoed in his heart and mind, as though entreating him to turn from this path, entwined with the voice of another, soft and sweet, that of Einlanzer calling to her brother who with Kyosuke resided.

"Thats the point of the streets... Its to kill. And they arent people..."
Before she could answer he turned to her.
"They are just programs in a computer and when you, lose you die. Thats why I kill. Its just a damn game. A game that can truely kill."
His eyes grew stern. His anger supressed Masamune, who in turn would have only made him angrier.
"You know nothing of this place..."
He spoke the truth. The only real beings in Infinity Fortress are the ones who went there by choice and those who accidently wandered in, the rest were made by the Archive, the God of Infinity Fortress. The people are just an illusion that can kill just as easliy as a normal human. With that he turned and began to walk away, but he stopped in his tracks. Masamune finally broke through.
"Sister, now you know why I chose him. Deep down within him, he is like me. Why I was cast down. A blood thirsty being with only Hell to pay... Where he will go when he finally dies..."
Kyosuke took over once more and strated walking again.

Takara looked around puzzedly, taking a better look at the place around her as she followed him.
"What do you mean they aren't human?..."
"Brother, there's good in both you and him, no matter what you say. You cannot tell me all those years before were nothing..."
She stayed with him for the moment, wondering what he planned to do and determined to stop him should he plan to truly kill innocents.

"I said they are all programs! The Archive rules all here! By stepping in here your fate is as it has set for you. Just like it set for all of us!"
"I am totally different from then, not only physicaly but mentally too. Lord Lucifer doesnt allow good to work in Hell! It only suffers... You should know that, especially after the war..."
He quickened his pace a bit.
"These things arent human, they arent innocent! Why protect what kills indiscriminantly?!"

Takara stared around, curious. She wasn't afraid, but she was no fool, cautiousness was constant by her side. If Kyosuke spoke the truth, then she'd made a mistake, hopefully it wouldn't be too costly.
"Forgive me, I thought they were real when I sensed your power...They're rather convincing programs...Though who is the Archive?"
"Somewhere inside you, I still believe there's still at least a shred of what you were..."

Kyosuke slowed down to a walk.
"I dont know all of the details, but its some kind of super VR machine with info on every person that steps foot in here. Stuff that person didnt even know, it knows. It makes VR so real that it can kill... Like if it made a room into the a canyon and you fell, your brain would register like you fell and died, even if you hadnt really fallen. It makes them so real that it takes an ablsolute belief that its not real or it can kill you. It has protectors so strong they themselves are practicly gods. With even one of them on alert you cant even breath without fear of dying. Or being carved to shreads from the inside out. So everything you have witnessed is all VR so real that it can harm like a normal person could. They are real people but at the same time they arent. Its hard to gain that absolute belief when yove lived here almost your whole life, and all you've witnessed was constant death. Like I said earlier, this is the extreme form of Yin and Yang, life and death."

"I see...But who would create all of this?...And if this place is filled with only programs and is so deadly, why are you here?"
Takara easily kept pace with him, keeping her senses alert for anything, not knowing what precisely to expect. Now that she was here, she felt the place had a strange aura, something she couldn't place. Though she did know she didn't like it.
Is Kyosuke here to stop this then? If he is, I suppose I'll help, not that Einlanzer would allow me to leave with her brother in danger anyways...

"Like I said, I dont know the details. Im here becuase this is where I grew up. I already know I cant stop whats going on here, I was just checking up on the situation with the rival gangs, and expanding my gangs territory."
The last part came as cold as before.

"Oh..."
Takara trailed off, slightly confused. She knew she'd made a mistake in coming here, this place wasn't her business. Or was it? Why was there this entity that created illusions powerful to kill here? What was the point of all this? Should she leave or stay and find out more about this place? She glanced over at Kyosuke, noting his cold exterior. One particular question kept running through her mind: why? She continued walking with him, at least for now. The place should all her to leave, since it seemed that Kyosuke went and came often. But what if it stoped her? When she voiced her next question, her voice was soft and whispery, as though she were afraid someone or something might here, which there may very well be.
"This place, does it often keep people from leaving?..."

"From what I know the people who came here can leave, the ones that were "born" here are trapped."

"I see...Do you know of a command station, or some central area to this place?..."
Takara was now rather curious about the place and wished to learn more, her inquisitive nature creating some many questions in her mind. Also, the ethical side of her told her the dangers of such an area, and hoped that perhaps she could somehow help. However, before she did anything, she had to learn more...

"To the entire Infinity Fortress? Or just to Lower Town? For the entire fortress, it would be where the Archive is located. For Lower Town its the garbage facility in the basement of the fortress. At least thats where I think it would be, if its still there that is."

"The Archives...Where would that be located?"
Takara guessed she could find out more there. Though if she couldn't get in, she could always walk around some more and see. She'd have to be careful though, and try to stay as inconspicuous as possible; no need to get into more fights than needed.
