There's the possibility of survivors, I won't deny that. [img]https://i.imgur.com/7FHpAOX.png[/img] Kiragi: Really? That makes me really glad! [img]https://i.imgur.com/ciEjqb3.png[/img] Auror: I sure hope there's someone left. It'd be a big help for us in this case. [img]https://i.imgur.com/4CNGJSh.png[/img] Marina: I agree. It makes me wonder about what it will happen from now on, too... [i]Auror looked at Kaito holding the chakrams and couldn't hide his surprise.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/RclEVRN.png[/img] Auror: I didn't know you could fight, Kaito. You never were the type to show promise. [img]https://i.imgur.com/tqfHLBg.png[/img] Kaito: Hey, you hold your tongue! Besides, with this, I can efficiently help you guys! [img]https://i.imgur.com/YNj0xUD.png[/img] Cookie: I do have a question, though. What about the boy? The spirits seem to haunt him. [img]https://i.imgur.com/B8IozwH.png[/img] Reimu: Maybe I can exorcise him and then- [img]https://i.imgur.com/4KLRCXU.png[/img] Kiragi: No, no, please no! I don't want that! [img]https://i.imgur.com/tlJBsK0.png[/img] Reimu: You don't? [img]https://i.imgur.com/PuDUUnd.png[/img] Kiragi: You see, I made a promise- [img]https://i.imgur.com/iIczHsM.png[/img] Umbra: Pact. [img]https://i.imgur.com/itYnUcw.png[/img] Kiragi: Y-Yeah, that... with Ictio and Umbra. With them, I can help you all too! [img]https://i.imgur.com/crDQ8CB.png[/img] Marina: That is very sweet of you, but dragging you into these fights is not a good idea. [img]https://i.imgur.com/otQYiPp.png[/img] Auror: Well, we don't have to drag him. [img]https://i.imgur.com/8OuRFcP.png[/img] Marina: M-Mister Auror? [img]https://i.imgur.com/ATGUitS.png[/img] Auror: Listen, I'm not saying I'm OK with this. Putting a small kid like him into this is too much. Right now, though, it's best to leave him "haunted", so to speak. [img]https://i.imgur.com/sElnvwR.png[/img] Ictio: We will protect Lord Kiragi with our lifes, sir yes sir!! [img]https://i.imgur.com/7b55qgm.png[/img] Auror: I'm pretty sure you will. Though I don't exactly have the final say in this. [hider=Phantom Phenomena: Lucent Vermillion -Final-] [b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] [i]Aqua -0.2-[/i] still playing [i]Lucent was completely locked into a losing position. The other him kept disappearing faster than what he could follow, its words torturing him as each step was given.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Kub07aL.png[/img] Lucent: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/6bnyeSO.png[/img] Phantom Lucent: You are alone... [img]https://i.imgur.com/bkej3Go.png[/img] Lucent: No... I'm not...! Phantom Lucent: You hold no one dear to you... Lucent: I... do...! Phantom Lucent: All you do is wail at your misery. The others just give you pity. They pity you, because you are nothing but a pool of sorrow. [i]Hundreds of clones appeared and began speaking the phrases again. Lucent held his head as he kept denying it mentally, at the hardest that he could. But then...[/i] [b][i]BGM:[/i][/b] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEJ8QR-PSj8]Memory 1[/url] [img]https://i.imgur.com/SHaEL9N.png[/img] Rayla: [i]"Just looking at your interations with other people just tells me how kind you are...What would you think it would happen if you little plan actually succeeded? Reeta, Kaito, Lady Amara, Kiragi...The other kids at the orphanage...They would be saddened by your death for sure. So instead of wanting to die...live...live to your fullest, never give up on your life. Make sure another accident like that doesn't happen. If you really love your friends, I'm sure you will do your best to control that power of yours."[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/vAM9LM7.png[/img] Reeta: [i]"C'mon man, you gotta open up more. Living alone is no good at all...Trust me on this one. We all want you to smile and enjoy life more with the people important to you. You might be able to live in a shell but what good that will do? I can't really imagine a life like that to be a happy one... I just can't imagine a world without you Lucent...Don't ever think about leaving us."[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/iaHTaPb.png[/img] Kaito: [i]"Lucent... I'm sorry. I guess I couldn't help you as much as I wished to. If anything, I... I'd never forgive myself. All I ever wanted was your wellbeing... Don't go away from me... I don't want you to just up and leave like this..."[/i] [i]Rayla's words came into his mind. Reera and Kaito's voices came back as well. One by one, he reminded of the others, who stood and stay by his side. Those voices blocked all of the Phantoms as he got up.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Co4Dh3P.png[/img] Lucent: I... I'm drowning in misery, you're right. But there are hands trying to pull me from the bottom. They keep pulling and pulling while I'm being stupid and unreasonable. [img]https://i.imgur.com/3jccryV.png[/img] Lucent: But this means that I... no, that we're not alone. [i]The affirmation from his mouth broke all of the Phantoms until one remained. He walked towards it and stared deep into its eyes.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/83cdpUp.png[/img] Phantom Lucent: ... [img]https://i.imgur.com/Kub07aL.png[/img] Lucent: I'm scared... very scared... I don't want to hurt anyone anymore. I don't want my powers to cause pain anymore. I'm doing this so I can pay for my crime back then. And I know there are people who will stand beside me. [img]https://i.imgur.com/qsihRDH.png[/img] Lucent: Rayla, Ted, Auror, Masaru, Marina, Xaizor... Reeta, Kaito and Kiragi. Those people and more... they want me safe. They want me happy... [img]https://i.imgur.com/bkej3Go.png[/img] Lucent: So I'm going back... and I'll keep my promise. I'll fight with them... I will! [i]The Phantom nodded and disappeared in fragments of glass. Soon, a bright light enveloped Lucent and the whole space.[/i] [/hider] [b][i][u]Location: Spring Zone - Streets Near the Hakurei Shrine[/u][/i][/b] [i] The fervent attacks from the group finally dwindled the numbers and the monsters soon vanished.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Jv6RDoR.png[/img] Xaizor: That takes care of them. Now, back at the matter of- Azrel: Well, the monsters seems to have dwindled. Good. [i]When he looked, Azrel stood there, seemingly happy with the results.[/i] [img]https://i.imgur.com/0A4VIEH.png[/img] Xaizor: Huh? Who the hell are you? [img]https://i.imgur.com/ME8TuIe.png[/img] Azrel: Oh, just a passerby going to the shrine. I can't fight so I'm happy you guys managed to finish them all. It's no big deal, so I'll just be cruising. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZMWVWGL.png[/img] Xaizor: You don't have the looks of some religious guy. And for some reason, I don't like your face. [img]https://i.imgur.com/jH1jd5W.png[/img] Azrel: That's too bad. Can I go now? [img]https://i.imgur.com/cZHCl2X.png[/img] Xaizor: Wait the hell where you're standing. You're not leaving just because you want to. [img]https://i.imgur.com/6XDMQLt.png[/img] Azrel: Are you serious? Listen, it's important and I can't waste time speaking with kids like you three. [img]https://i.imgur.com/vBu3sm4.png[/img] Xaizor: Kid?! You're not that much older than me! [img]https://i.imgur.com/JnfCrgE.png[/img] Azrel: You wouldn't want to know my age, so can I go now? Xaizor: No! [img]https://i.imgur.com/VgmYZwy.png[/img] Azrel: *sigh* Seriously, luck? That's how you're playing me today?
