Mars smile fell as the Gem seemed to retreat from his outstretched hand, her face overshadowed by her hair. Unsure of what to do, Mars scooted closer to the figure.

"Hey, are you o-"

[i]Why did you kill me?[/i]

Mars jumped away from the girl. looking around for the source of the voice in his head, only to have his eyes drawn back to her. She looked different now, dressed in battle armor, cracked and broken, and was looking up at him with the gem in her right eye slowy cracking, a strange darkness leaking out the cracks in wispy tendrils. Mars couldn't move, couldn't even speak as she stood, walking over to him with a slow, limping gate, a haze covering her body as she moved. In that haze Mars saw her as she was in life, fall beneath a pair of gleaming golden daggers. Suddenly, the oppressive atmosphere of the Kindergarten was filled with the hushed whispers of a thousand souls, all saying the same five words.

As the pale gem approached, the ground began to crack as more gems rose from their graves, their gems all leaking that same dark mist, all approaching the frozen figure of Mars, some crawling their way by their hands as they lacked a lower body. Before lonbg, Mars found himself being crushed in the savage press of bodies, unable to do anything as he fell under a crippling sense of guilt and fear. Another voice had join this whispere, a screaming voice that was tinged with despair and insanity, crying out in defiance. 

[color=a36209][i]Leave me alone, already!!!!!!!! I had no choice, it was my duty!!! None of you are real, so why can't you just leave me alone!![/i][/color] 

Mars felt his non-existent heart begin to race as pain lanced through him. Looking at himself, he saw the undead gems begin to devour him, and that awoken in him a greater sense of fear to override his guilt. He3 struggle against their hold, but it was no use. Their were too many, and his strength seemed to have left him in his moment. As the pain rose to new heights, he felt a bunring in his chest, one which grew hotter and hotter as he struggle more and more until, with a deafening roar, he let it loose. The shockwave from the explosion of energy would be felt all the way back at the temple, shaking the ground with a slight, but noticeable rumble. The Kindergarten, however, would be completely wrecked. The high cliffs and machines would be completely torn down by the force of the explosion, leaving only a huge smoking crater in it's place. And in the center of that crater was a large single gem, a jagged crack lanced across it's surface.
