Epilogue: Luxuria

"MARI-NEE!!!"

I yelled out in despair and I quickly ran towards her, Gin took aim and shot my leg. I fell to the floor, The survivors wanted to help but was helpless as the gunner in the helicopter are taking aim at them...if they move, they'll be mowed down.

"Argh..."

Despite the pain, I slowly stand up and limp my way towards her....I see her bleeding out onto the floor calling out my name...

"CRAZY DAI-"

*BANG*

Gin shot me again, The bullet went through my back, the impact cause me to hit the floor....I started coughing out blood.

"If you won't come with us then we'll just take your body..."

*Coughs blood*

I glare at Gin...with pure hatred...I'll kill him.

'Solomon....Solomon...I...I..need you...'

Solomon is not responding to my call...I can't drink any health potion to recover...damn it. I start crawling towards Mari-nee..while bleeding..Alice was crying as she's being held back by Rei-nee.

Ah...my visions are waning....

*WhispersWhispersWhispersWhispers*

Oh shut up...you've done enough...

WE CAN HELP YOU.

By hurting those I love.

LOVE IS AN ILLUSION...YOU'RE BEING USED BECAUSE OF IT...WHY SUFFER? LET HER GO! SHE MEANS NOTHING TO US.

You're wrong...I used to think that way...everyone is nothing more but points for my sister..Mari-nee and the others taught me that I can still be human...I can still love.

HUMAN! LIES! WE'RE NOT HUMAN! STOP PRETENDING TO BE ONE!

I crawl leaving behind a blood trail...Chiaki-nee looks like she's about to cry....behind her cold stoic face.

"Ma...ri-nee. Cra..zy...Di...a...mon...d"

Crazy Diamond manifest itself and quickly flew towards Mari-nee...it heals Mari-nee wounds before me...

"Very Impressive....an Antichrist, Time Stop, Spontaneous Combustion and now Healing Ability. You are truly an amazing being...I can't wait to unlock all there is to learn from you."

Gin crouch down as I'm bleeding out.

WE'LL DIE BECAUSE OF YOU....LET US TAKE OVER! WE CAN TURN BACK TIME!

And risk letting you out onto the world again....I..rather die...as a human...

ARRRRRRTTTHHUURRRRR!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry everyone...for everything....my arrogance cost me eh?...I look at Gin and quickly grab his hand..His pupils shrunk behind his mask upon realization.

"KILLER QUEEN!!"

Killer Queen manifested itself holding my hand as I grab hold of his arm and I bite it. I looks towards Gin with contempt.

"YOU FOOL YOU'LL DIE TOO!"

He yelled out in fear but I smile evilly while glaring at him.

*CLICK*

*BOOM*

(Claude Debussy - Clair De Lune)

I can't remember what happen next all I heard was a loud noise.

*THUNDEROUS SOUND*

As visions slowly turn black...I see a portal before me....metallic chains slowly emerges out of it...and wrap itself around my body.....I look down...and....huh....I'm missing my lower half.....where's my right hand...ah right I blew myself up.

I hear screaming and crying...I turn to see Alice....Please...please the give me the strength....God..I don't want to leave them.

"Al...Al..icccee..."

My voice was barely audible....tears starts to stream down my cheeks....my friends...I don't want to leave you....I never had friends for a long time...I don't want to lose any of you.

I try resisting the chains...but the chains tighten and slowly pull me into the portal.....

Solomon..can you hear me?....I need your help.

ARRRGH!!! YOU'RE A FOOL ARTHUR! WE COULD HAVE BROUGHT THE END! FATHER! SAVE US!

....

Ah...I'm dying, it feels cold. Is this what she felt?

Sarah...I'm sorry Alice...there someone I love need saving....I'll come back...I swear.

I turn to see Alice..one last time....she's in tears while screaming my name.

The chains pulls me slowly into the portal...I want to stay.

"Ali...ce....I'll..come...ba..ck."

"Onii-chan!!"

And with that....my body disappear from this world...and all I saw was sheer darkness.

"Sarah...."

----------------------------------------------

"Where am I?"

I look around to see myself in a void.

"Hey baby brother...it's been awhile."

My pupils shrunk and I start to shiver lightly...I turn to see a familiar face that I thought I've long forgotten.

"Sarah."

She's wearing a white dress...she's..she's beautiful.

"You've went through a lot haven't you...."

I look towards a mirror that appear out of nowhere to see a reflection of my old self...wow...I look like shit.

"You look like shit by the way."

"AHAHAHaaaa...I don't need you telling me that...ehhh trust me..I still look better than you."

She then laughs and hold her stomach.

"Riiiiigghht!....You've change...but at the same time you didn't."

I scratch my head my smiling.

"Really?...Yes I did things half-ass...and hurt people unnecessarily-"

She walks up to me and smack my head.

"Idiot what did I say about not listening to me when I lectured you. You're still at the mercy of others' whims, You're still blind after all this time."

"What do you mean by that!? I tried my best to save everyone didn't I."

"STOP LYING TO YOURSELF! YOU DID IT BECAUSE I TOLD YOU TOO! IF I HADN'T HAD SAID ANYTHING THAT NIGHT IN THE ESTATE, I DOUBT YOU WOULD BE KIND ENOUGH TO SAVE ANYONE OUT OF YOUR OWN FREE WILL!"

I stood there in silence...what she said was true...before her death her last words were to be kind to others...Back then...being kind to others had no place in my heart...well except for her.

"You would only show genuine care and love for me and only me, mom and dad...they meant nothing to you."

"You're wrong I loved mom and dad! they were family."

"YOU TRIED TO KILL THEM!'

"THAT'S!.....That's was a accident...I didn't mean to hurt them back then..I lost control."

Sarah looks at me with sadness in her eyes...

"Arthur...are you doing this because of your love for me...or just out of guilt?"

....

"I.."

Sarah then interrupts me.

"Have you ever considered that I never wanted you to save me...that night I've made my peace...so why can't you let me go?"

My pupils shrunk at her words....

"....It was out of guilt."

We stood there in silence....she smile and walks towards me

*Smack*

She growled at me while glaring after she smacked my head. I rub my head while crouching.

"OOOW! You're still violent as ever! you ape."

She then kick my shin causing me to jump.

"Ape...you dare call your gorgeous sister an ape!!"

She raise her fist in order to punch me...I brace myself...she stop halfway then smile....she then looks at me with a serious expression...

"The Elders....they will kill you Arthur...my death..it was not your fault, I've made my choice that night and so did you."

Tears start streaming down her cheek.

"Yea...we've made our choice."

She then laughs as she recall something.

"Hey...remember when we were kids...you would be hiding behind my back holding onto my shirt as we went on our rowdy adventures into the woods."

"Hmmm..I can't..I can't remember Sarah...though I do try my best in remembering your lectures haha.."

"Oh...yea..forgot...well anyways, you were pretty much a coward...but when the time calls for it..you will always be there to protect me even...even if it means hurting yourself....at first I thought to myself that it was a siblings' love...but as we grew older...the length you took to protect me was too much for me....I couldn't bear to see you hurt yourself. I blamed myself, I failed you as your sister."

.....All I could was watch her in silence.

"Now..I don't have much time...The Elders will find you now..but before that remember the words of your loving sister.....I love you Arthur, you're no monster..so be brave and...forgive yourself. My death..it was for the best...also...be true to yourself."

I immediately ran and hug her tightly.....tears starts to stream down my cheek.

"I don't want to lose you again...after you died...it broke me."

She close her hugs and rubs my head gently.

"But you always got back on your feet didn't you."

"Ahaha..I guess."

"Then....I know you'll be fine."

She then lets me go and walk away. I closed my eyes as I stood there.....be true to myself...I then quickly call out to her.

"Sarah! I won't be that same monster back in the estate, I won't let you down....I won't let Alice down....I'll save you, I promise....this is the choice I've made out of my own will."

She turns to me with tears in her eyes....as she see the face of her loving brother.

"I see....Then I'll be waiting, good luck Space Boy!"

She gave me a wide smile.

My visions starts to blur as I see her walk away.....I passed out afterwards.

I wake up half dead....I look around to see a record player playing a familiar piece....I'm in a white room filled with black furniture.....I soon felt a presence and turn my head to see being siting in front of me...a being with three masks floating around its face...

Demon Mask: You're finally awake.

Angel Mask: Hush now...the boy went through hell.

Demon Mask: So what! it is his fault in the first place...and that damn father of his.

Angel Mask: You can't truly blame him...his father is resourceful after all.

Monochrome Mask: ENOUGH!

From what I'm seeing, these masks represent different personality...the black mask resemble that of a brutish demon....the white mask resemble that of an feminine angel....and the monochromatic mask resemble that of a human face seems to be the one leading.

"Whe...re..Am..I?"

Monochrome Mask: You're In our realm now.

"The...Elders.."

Demon Mask: YES! IT IS WE WHO ARE CALLED THE ELDERS!

Angel Mask: Now then, I'm sure you have plenty of questions hehe...but it's best if you're in a better state.

I look down to see the damage...yea I did a number to myself...half my face is burn off, My left arm is missing and my lower half is severed....how am I still alive.

Monochrome Mask: Because we allow you breathe...with a snap of our finger, you'll die just like that.

"So...I''m...in..your...mercy."

Demon Mask: That's a clever boy.

Angel Mask: Now...then time for your reward for completing our quests.

*SNAP*

The Elders snap his fingers and few doctor and nurses enters the room...they look slightly deformed as they pick me up....they place me onto an operating table and soon the room transform itself into that of a surgery room..

"Wait...what are you doing?"

Demon Mask: It is to our understanding that body of yours have powers that were not allowed...

Angel Mask: I'm sorry but I'm afraid we'll have to strip you of your powers.

Monochrome Mask: Solomon was not supposed to give you powers....I've dealt with him already.

Dealt with him...Solomon...where are you?...wait get way from me.

I see the doctors holding surgical saw and scalpels..I struggle to break free...but the nurses retrains my body....

"Let..go!"

*Surgical Sounds*

"ARRGGHHH"

Demon Mask: Oh we'll tear your soul from your body and place it into a new one..

Angel Mask: I'm sure you like it, hehehe Bring his new body in.

*CLAP CLAP*

After hearing The Elders's claps, the nurses nods and roll in a body next to me...I turn to see a body of a 15-16 year old body...it has white hair and well toned body.

Monochrome Mask: We're disappointed in you...you're supposed to complete this 'Walk' without relying on anyone other than us.

"ARRFGGGHHH!! FUUCCKK!!!"

My soul is being rip away from this body.....I can feel my soul slowly transferring into the new body. I can feel it...Killer Queen..The World..Crazy Diamond...they're disappearing.

-FEW HOURS LATER-

(Muse - The Dark Side) (Ending Theme for Volume 1)

"My lord...the procedure is done."

I hear the doctor as my consciousness slowly drifts away.

Black Mask: Excellent...begin the next surgery!

Angel Mask: He needs to be in the next world at the designated time.

Monochrome Mask: Make sure it's painful.

"At once my lord."

The doctor salute and signal his people for the next surgery...The nurse roll a large vial with strange color in it...I then see a machine with multiple arm holding syringes in each end...the vial is connected to the syringes.

Angel Mask: The chemical that we'll be injecting belong to a strange world where a monster is an unkillable machine that only desire chaos and destruction...sound familiar.

Demon Mask: We're injecting the chemical that will grant you your new power for your next world.

Monochromatic Mask: The power you will received is call Doomsday. Good luck...

My pupils shrunk when I heard what they said...Doomsday..as in the monster that killed Superman...I'll be having his power...I struggle but it was in vain, the restrain are tight, the doctor held my head and clamp it onto the operating table so I couldn't resist.....the needles soon made contact and pierce my skins

"AAAAAAHHHHH!!! ARRRRGGHH!!!"

IT BURNS!! FUCK! IT BURNS!!!

The chemical starts pouring into my blood stream...breaking my molecules down and replacing my DNA...ah I can feel it...the rage building up.

"AAAAHHRRRGHHH!!"

Demon Mask: I'm surprise he's still conscious

Angel Mask: Awww how cute of him to struggle.

Monochrome Mask: .....Before we forget...we'll take your memories as well..your time in that world had change you unexpectedly due to Solomon's interference....We can't have that...so we'll fix you good as you.

Upon hearing that I struggle even harder...my memories are what made me who I am...No! NO! I won't let you take them from me...NOOOO!!

Nurses held my head down...and I see a syringe nearing closer to my eyes.

"Keep ze eye open."

The needle comes closer towards my eye...God...save..me.

*STAB*

"AAAAAHHHHH!!!'

Alice.....Mari-nee....I'm sorry...I'm sorry for being weak.....my memories....they're fading...

<I'll be waiting.>

So...lo..mon.

-Next Day-

My mind is still full of rage....I can't control it...I need to kill...to destroy....Sarah...I've not forgotten your words.

....

..

.

I woke up what felt like an eternity...I slowly get up and held my face. I got up and find myself in a room. I look around to see a black business shirt and a black vest with a black tie on top of it, next to it are a pair of black leather shoes. black business pants, a silver belt with a reverse pentagram design on its buckle....a black leather gloves as well.

I put on my attire and walk towards a mirror...as I look at my stoic self, I see a brand new me...no longer weak..devoid of emotion. I adjusted my vest...I gaze at myself...Blue eyes...white hair..I look rather handsome..I tilt my head looking at myself with interest...this is strange...hmmm I can't seem to remember what had happen.

I then see my left eye starts to tear up and a stream of tear flow down my left cheek....I wipe the tear and left the room...I place both my hands in my pockets as I walk.....there I see The Elders standing before me.

Demon Mask: How do you feel?

I shrug

"Never better."

Angel Mask: Do you remember your time in the last world you visited?

As The Elder said that I try to recall....all I can remember is a silhouette of a young girl...strange.

"No."

Monochrome Mask: Good..now then you shall enter the new world. Complete our tasks and you shall be rewarded.

The Elders wave its' hand and open a portal behind me...I look towards it coldly.

"Very well."

As I was about to leave, I recall back what Sarah had said....True to myself huh? I smile and made my move.

I turn and enter the portal....onto the next world. The Elders....I'll will kill you but for now....I need powers. My eyes are full of resolute.
