(Kav has been in a brutal fight against [b]Clockshot[/b]. Luckily escaping the [b]Ephemerality Ring[/b], she has tried to make it back to her friends, but she collapses, possibly dead.) *Everyone runs to the summoning circle that they were transported from. Cat looks through the hole to find Kav's possibly lifeless body, lying face into the rocky ground.* [b]Cathera:[/b] *shuddering* Nooo Kav.... [b]Sakiro:[/b] You try and get her back up, we'll give [b]Kasaro[/b], [b]Himeki[/b], and [b]Junos[/b] a proper burial. *[b]Sakiro[/b] runs off, Kyo, Anna, [b]Tenerus[/b], and the [b]exterminator[/b] twins follow her.* _______________________________________ [b][u]*Cliche-ass opening theme plays*[/u][/b] _______________________________________ ([b]Terranova[/b] appears at the entrance of the cathedral, walking up to the 3's lifeless bodies.) [b]Terranova:[/b] Hmmp, must be some of that [b]eraser[/b]'s friends. Now look where they are. *He lets his hand out and absorbs the soul-like energy from their bodies. Red and dark green energy covering [b]Terranova's[/b] hand. The process continues for the next 7 seconds. He finishes gathering up their energy, only to soon hear footsteps echoing.* [b]Terranova:[/b] Must be more of his friends. *teleports away* _______________________________________ *The rest who chose to revive Kav jumps down to her location. Cat runs to her and tries to revive her in a panic, refusing to lose hope that she's possibly dead.* [b]Cathera:[/b] No no no no no no! Wake up, Kav! Get uuppp! *angered* Please still be breathing. *leans over and can't even feel a heartbeat, then touches her neck and can't even feel a pulse* *Aino lays her head on Sai's shoulder, shaking her head in refusal. Sai turns away from Cat and Kav.* *Cat covers her face with both of her hands in sorrow, refusing to believe that Kav could be dead. She activates her sensing and can't even sense Kav's energy.* [b]Cathera:[/b] *becomes tearful, shifting her right hand to the side of her head* I..couldn't...I couldn't sense any... *She pauses due to getting so choked up on her tears, that what follows next is distressed sobbing. Aino starts to become emotional and continue to shake her head, Van sits by the wall and sighs, even the [b]annihilator[/b] twins drops their heads in woe.* *Aino walks to Cat, kneels down, and hugs her from behind.* [b]Ainotias:[/b] We could've caught up to her, [b]Cathera[/b]. These damn hollows hindered our speed. I'm--we're sorry. *Pinkish violet energy flashes around Kav's body for a split second, making everyone turn towards her. Kav then is somehow revived and lets out a long gasp, followed by some breather.* [b]Cathera:[/b] *eyes widen as a smile forms on her face* Kav?! ([b]Ainotias[/b]: She's alive?!) Oh my, thank the [b]Arckyve[/b]! [b]Sage:[/b] *smirks* Good thing a miracle came at the right time, unlike most times. *Aino turns Kav's body over and observes her wounds, spotting mutilations on her stomach.* [b]Kavita:[/b] [b]Cathera[/b]? *snickers* I..I must be...pretty lucky. *Aino stands up and pulls Cat up with her. Sai walks to the 2.* [b]Ainotias:[/b] Can I just say that Kav is a damn survivor? [b]Cathera:[/b] Yeaaahh. There are numerous times she's nearly died but...it didn't come as close to this...*starts talking faster* Each time I was just like; "Kav, can you not get yourself killed all the time?" And I just worry even more and more and more if she actually ended up dead and it's just...*sighs* [b]Ainotias:[/b] *touches Cat's cheeks and kisses the tip of her nose* Relax, darling. Death's unavoidable and life is cruel. We can just hope the good people can live long and prosperous and death actually scoops up the bad ones. [b]Saitonia:[/b] *lowly* Unless you die a hero or cheat death. [b]Kavita:[/b] Heyyy...I killed [b]Clockshot[/b]. He's--he's in there. *points to the [b]Ephemerality Ring[/b]* [b]Ainotias:[/b] ....like that. Let's get Kav to a clinic. _______________________________________ (Nearly an hour later, the group have had to report the heartbreaking news of the deaths of [b]Kasaro[/b], [b]Himeki[/b], and [b]Junos[/b] to their families. At their traditional training area, a wide gravestone lies, paying respects to each of them. These are the following: [b]Kasaro Misonas[/b] April 6th, 1992- April 30th, 2017 "Adventures await in any way! We won't experience all of them, but we'll still feel the thrills!" [b]Himeki Tamazashi[/b] February 6th, 1990- April 30th, 2017 "People shouldn't be in so much of a hurry for this and that. Same things, and maybe some new things, will exist tomorrow." [b]Junos Kazama[/b] August 30th, 1985- April 30th, 2017 "Whatever the circumstances, I'll gladly sacrifice myself so my friends and family can push on." Sacrificed their lives to the hands of [b]Terranova[/b] and his army so that their loves ones could push on and defeat the true evils. [b]Tenerus:[/b] *wiping tears from his eyes as [b]Sakiro[/b] wraps her left arm around his shoulders* Taken, at such young ages. Some just...*sighs* have to be killed so that their friends and family can push further in life? No...it's more of an everlasting, unrecoverable negative effect. [b]Sakiro:[/b] They even taught me some aspects of life my own empire didn't teach. It's just...one enormously difficult, but effectual task; end [b]Terranova[/b] and his army...at least what's left. We need numbers more than ever. _______________________________________ (A hospital has luckily opened up. Kav is laying in a bed, recovering, the twins and Cat sitting by the window.) [b]Cathera:[/b] How bad is it, Kav? [b]Kavita:[/b] Well...docs said I'll have dire, permanent digestive and respiratory problems. But that won't matter, cause I'll be up and kicking [b]a[/b]ss again in no time. [b]Cathera:[/b] Wait, so when... [b]Kavita:[/b] --breaking down food is gonna feel like sh[b]i[/b]t. I might also have acid reflux, emphysema, and other digestive or respiratory problems. Thankfully healers also came in. [b]Cathera:[/b] Kav, that's a big problem. Especially since you don't have [b]Terranovian[/b] blood. [b]Kavita:[/b] Well, alright, maybe a big problem. Y'all are lucky to have a [b]Terranovian[/b] bloodline. [b]Ainotias:[/b] Well hey, you're a superhuman, [b]Kavita[/b]. [b]Kavita:[/b] Yeah but, your body can go through so much damage, but me?! I'm forever- *starts coughing* [b]Saitonia:[/b] Hey relax. Talk slowly and softly. [b]Kavita:[/b] *blood spews at the left side of her lip, wipes it off* [b]Cathera:[/b] Yeah, take note from Sai. (Several minutes pass) [b]Kavita:[/b] You know what a utopia where people don't have to worry about tyrants taking over our lives is called? [b]Ainotias:[/b] What? [b]Kavita:[/b] Fiction. And you know what a dystopia where there's no individualism and everyone suffers is called? [b]Saitonia:[/b] Let me guess- [b]Kavita:[/b] Reality. ([b]Ainotias[/b]: No sh[b]i[/b]t.) *dramatically weeps* [b]Cathera:[/b] You're losing it, Kav. [b]Kavita:[/b] I am. In the state I'm in now, I don't realize how short life is, and the factors and dangers I throw myself in will make it even shorter. But...I'm not afraid to sacrifice myself for my loved ones. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Well it seems like [b]Junos[/b] and [b]Kasaro[/b] and [b]Himeki[/b] already did that for you, unintentionally. Aino...the strength of 50 millions that have died to [b]Terranova's[/b] hands is within us. [b]Ainotias:[/b] Yep. We're not only avenging our parents, but those 50 million too. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Just one more damn lead and he's ours. C'mon Aino, Cat. _______________________________________ [b][i]*Continuing Below*[/i][/b]
