No longer in His Hands

"Earlier, you said I hesitate to kill..." Coming out of his blank stares, Myune's expression fell cold, dropping the spinning shuriken to approach Chi as he chokes down Abrie. "But that," Myune cracks a grin across his face, placing his finger on Chi's forehead. "Isn't true at all."

Both gaze at one another, Chi eyes sunk to a frighten fill outlook and Myune's void like. His eyes echo his annoyance from Chi's current behavior.

"This reminds me." Myune lets out, not shifting a single part of him. "When I first rescued you from that shelter, you stabbed me and fell back... Those eyes were childlike. Not full of resentment as they are now. And, just like now, I place my finger on your forehead, and ask you?"

No longer talkative, Chi downs his head, soon realizing all that he done was a grave mistake. His confidence was all flush away from that single touch, shivering, letting go of the kid's neck. Myune... Even though their Riot level's visibly higher, he has some sort of hold over Chi. One that quickly scared him away from the belief he aims for.

"Do you want to live..." Chi mutters his answer to Myune's question under his breath, unable to look him directly in the eyes.

Myune smiles at his answer, shaping his hand to a gun as he did to me only a few minutes ago. "Correct... Though I let you live, I predicted this day would come. The day your obedience scramble to a man half dead in his chair."

Chi's eyes widen at Myune's statement, looking up at him in disbelief. "Wait? Heh, are you going to kill me?" He also laughs, thinking that Myune was only threating him to get his act together.

"Of course..." Myune smile lets down. "You were easily influence by Father's cult like ideas, you and your sister... I'm going to dispose of you all now."

"No, you can't..." Chi head falls back down. "What about your promise!' His hands trembles on dirt. "You told me to follow my belief! You said I could do whatever I please! That true freedom is-

"In your reach, as long as you follow what I say... Ironically, the fact you accept such terms, betraying me at the end for another's goal, proves that you never actually wish for true freedom."

Chi looks back up at Myune in a daze. "What are you saying?" A rain drops, dripping down Chi's face, then three more came down, clouds growing dimmer.

"I'm saying that; The you now, is worst. Chain to the beliefs of other's, groveling like a dog, submissive to the sight of power. You only had the deceived version of true freedom. So, I'm going to end this battle, by keeping that promise and reliving myself from the failed experiment you are."

A shower than pours down, vastly mudding the dirt I laid on, overwatching the entire thing.

"Failed... Experiment-

Pink hair spreading into the air alongside gallons of spatter blood, mixes with the rain, plumping chunks on the ground, Chi's body slapping at the sound of rapid rain.

"Nakuro?!" Hatarei chains faded away, picks herself up from off the ground, clothes mudded, and pink nails dirtied tan. "Nakuro!!"

The chains disappear around me as well. In that exact moment, I eye over to the kid. Blood was on his entire face, eyes shut, laid on the ground while the rain picks up drastically. What the boy witness had to be so traumatizing that he could no longer handle the sight. -

Taking off first, realizing their opportunity to fight, was Ella, but fully healed. I had to check twice to be sure, and I was right, that wasn't the real Ella. The actual her remain grounded, clenching her teeth as she held her organs in her stomach, as the fake Ella, eyes shining emerald, bring her leg to Iota's head - However, hair raising from the quick counter, Myune grabs hold of the attack, watching the rain drizzle down her expose thigh.

"You might look like her," Myune then teleports behind Nako, blasting her with a gush of wind, crashing her into the docks near the ocean. "But your fighting style is flawed, vague and chaotic. It has no discreet form, like the real version."

"Myune!!" I quickly get off my ass, rushing hand clench, aiming for Myune's face. -

"You're kidding..." Slightly eyeing my attack, Myune swiftly kicks me back to the mud, vanishing away, right after.

I spot him further left, picking up the unconscious body in his hands. Juna's body.

"Your hair is all muddy..." He whispers to his sister, gracing her face with his hand. "And these bruises on your face..." Myune looks over to Hatarei, who held onto her brother in tears. Then he directs his attention back to his own sister, guilt consuming his eyes. "Maybe, I should've handled him in a less violent way... I even called him a failed experiment..."

Myune... He began to talk to himself, directing his eyes to the rain clouds above.

"How did I let this all spiral out of my control?"

A tear fell from his eye, wind picking up current around him in a circle, stirring with the bit of dry ground left. Juna's hair dance crazily, following Myune's, current spinning faster around them.

"Myune!"

His eyes direct to the voice, so do I, spotting Vile getting up from the ground shielding his face from the storm and the cyclone Myune created.

"You have to stop this!! If you don't turn back now!!" Vile, clenches his fist, shouting his lungs over the sounds of storming weather. "You will take more lives than you can count!!"

"Take more lives?" The draft grows stronger, Myune red eye gleaming at Vile's words. "Is that what I been doing?" He then asks, having a small opening in the swirling storm, that shows only that bright red eye of his. "Is that how you see me? Some monster who been killing for no apparent reason?"

Vile gaze into that eye, Myune amid the drift, witnessing the storm cycling faster and larger, growing beside that one's emotions.

"If so... you never once knew me, Vile...!"-

A huge tornado bursts up into the storming clouds, whooshing back all our clothes and hair, as the rain updrafts, lifting our feet from off the ground as well.

Myune... Swallowed by despair, goals no longer in his reach, aim to destroy all in his path.
