"Well I suppose the difference this time, is that you haven't died. Well...yet." Cyrus told Zane as the figure looked around the abyss nonchalantly.

"Wait, what do you mean I haven't died yet? I'm in limbo or something like that?"
-
"No. What I am saying is, I tore your soul out of your body so we could speak within the time Tywin swings, and when he kills you. I have taken you to a place where time travels in such a minuscule amount, you could spend a life time here within the time someone in your world takes a single step."
-
"Aaand how the hell did you manage to tear the soul out of my living body?"
-
"Before death, the soul becomes malleable to the point that a creature of great power can take it from its host. That is why the term "before you die, your life flashes before your eyes." Comes from. It is the rapid transformation of the soul before death." The wraith explained. But then, he chuckled as he shook his head. "But come on now, these sorts of questions aren't important at the moment. What you should be concerned about, is what world you will be leaving behind."
-
"I know what il be leaving. Il be letting Tywin win. He'll have control of the world, and nobody will be able to stop him."
-
"Indeed. But...is that so bad? Letting him win? And why do YOU have to stop him...?"
-
"Because my family is still down there, along with the dojo. It's my duty to protect them, because there is nobody else that can."
-
"Ah....you are so right. Or at least, you had the best chance, but now you are about to die." Cyrus said. "Well, maybe if you had some of your friends with you, you could have stood a greater chance against him."
-
"Some friends?" He let out a light chuckle, but there was nothing funny. It was a laugh filled with sadness. "They all died, my family's all I got left and I'm not involving them."
-
"Oh? Well they don't necessarily have to be ALIVE. Well, completely that is!" "Okay nope! No way! No way in hell am I waiting any more!" Suddenly said a familiar voice that came from the darkness.
-
"What the hell? Alex, that you?!"
-
Then, out from the dark, the figure stood. Tall, healthy and able, along with his usual smug grin, he chuckled as Zane called him out. "In the fle-err...no...not in the flesh. More like, in the trippy limbo shit you were talking about. Yup. That sounds about more like it." Alex told him.
-
"Wait, why aren't you in the afterlife? And where's Anne?"
-
"Remember the whole "getting soul stolen" Cyrus here was talking about? Yup. That's what happened to me." He told Zane. "And Anne? Well..." he grinned. "Let's just say, I won the race." Alex said rather cryptically.
-
"God damn it Alex..." He let out a chuckle, this one filled with a bit of joy from seeing his friend. "So will she be joining us?"

As the shorter, fair blue skinned woman ran out of the dark and rested her hands on Alex's shoulders as she let out a breath. "Why...did you....run...so...fast...?!" She asked him. Then, she noticed Zane, and her amber eyes lit up. "ZANE!"
-
"Anne....I'm so sorry I couldn't save you...."
-
"Zane..." She said as she regained her breath. "There's nothing to forgive. The decisions I made led me here, and that's just how it goes! Plus if I recall, there was an army between you and me. So I would have to be a new level of drama queen to be mad at you for not making it in time...." "Well...you are a bit of a diva still...." Alex said through his tongue and cheek. Anne opened her mouth in offence. "Excuse me?!" "Hm? Wut? I didn't say nothing!"
-
He walked over and pulled his friends into a fight hug. "I really missed you guys...."
-
[i]"Hey! What about me?!"[/i] said a child like voice suddenly as Anne and Deity chuckled at Zane's embrace. As Zane turned, he saw none other than skull kid. He let out his little laugh as he stood in the section of light.

Edited by Zane the 3rd: 9/13/2017 11:48:51 PM"Skull kid?! You died as well? How did that happen?"
-
Edited by Inflatablepants: 9/14/2017 12:00:09 AM[i]"oh...Ari and Isaac didn't tell you...?"[/i] he said sadly. [i]"Well...ya...sorta....Hehe. Felix corrupted me...turned me into something I wasn't. Ari and Isaac had to kill me so I wouldn't hurt anyone anymore."[/i]
-
He walked over and opened his arms to skull kid. "But at least they set your soul free, your at peace now."
-
[i]"Well, maybe not yet. But we're getting there! Hehe!"[/i] skull kid said as he jumped up and hugged Zane. "We still have a bit of a trial ahead of us, [i]brother[/i]." Suddenly said a new voice from the dark.
-
He turned around to face his brother. "Akira...."
