"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...."
-
The younger brother brushed his shaggy hair back as he entered another ray of light. "Ya, bet you didn't expect me to show up here, right?"
-
"Na not really, pretty sure you did enough in your life to warrant staying out of hell." He outstretched his hand, offering it to his brother.
-
Akira went wide eyed for a moment, before he clasped Zane's hand in return. "Thanks for having faith in me, in the end that is. It's more then what I would've given you at the time, but you have my respect now. Zane."
-
He pulled his brother in for a hug, tightening his grasp around him. "You've always had my respect brother, I'm glad to have you at my side."
-
"Thanks...Zane." Akira said a little awkwardly as his older brother hugged him. "But there's someone else here as well..." "Despite our inevitable tango, I was hoping to see you again before it was all over." Suddenly said a voice. It sounded familiar, but Zane couldn't exactly pinpoint it. Then, into the light, a slender pale faced woman with long black curly hair and brown eyes looked at Zane. Now, he knew that this woman was none other then his eldest sister, Setsuna. "Uh...sorry...about that...again" Alex apologized to her as he rubbed the back of his head. "But you did trap us in a street against an entire child army that would have rather seen teen dramas and porn rather then kill people..." "No...no I had that coming for a while now. Fate, as it always is, was not with me on that day." She said solemnly as she looked at Zane.

"Sets....what the hell happened to you? What caused you to become so cruel?"
