Chapter 191: Inside The Fire

{East Roronora, (Roronora Park) 8:30 P.M. 3 Miles West of the Eastern Perimeter.}

Shelly with her golden pink SoulSeiõrShield jumps over the fully grown pine trees that surround the city park.

Madame Fryer out of her sheath, close behind.

The Izanagi Vice Captain’s feet hit the ground running and she continues west towards the center of the city.

The sounds of hysteria and chaos are now down to a minimum. The woman and sword pass by small fires and turned over vehicles.

Shelly hops over a pick up truck on it’s side with grace and on her landing cuts down two Icemen who did not notice her approach.

They fall to the ground and their blood red clouds exit their vessels.

Shelly watches as the clouds no longer float immediately upwards but begin to navigate to somewhere within the city, just like the rest of the mysterious clouds above her and the city.

The intelligent young woman starts to follow the death clouds of her most recent victims. Moving steadily southwest.

{South Roronora City (Residential/Housing) 8:35 P.M. 50 Yards From The Southern Perimeter}

Saku/’Mystery Man’: "’I lay down my life, so that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down for myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it again’.

Atonement...Only I can truly suffer, for the lives who continue to better themselves, and find their own happiness."

With the Anjell Eye currently popped off in this unprecedented way and in full control of the Yin’s Vessel, the hand holding Esau’s precious red flower opens.

Esau: "No!"

The newly cherished floral reminder for the still grieving widower, drops down below, and lands on the sidewalk. It is immediately trampled on by the hard sole of an Iceman foot that was already covered in blood.

The flower is now flattened, with a few of it’s red petals pulled off, in the middle of a bloody Iceman footprint.

Back on top of the building, Esau’s tearful eyes stare in disbelief as the flower he had recently cherished is dropped to the commotion below.

With Princess Kawaii still in his forearm grasp, the barrel of the gun slowly drops from her head.

Esau: "Why...?

I just wanted to have something else to remember her..."

With the Anjell Eye still taking control, Saku’s body turns and forgetting all about avoiding eye contact, Esau and the Eye of Wisdom EyeEngage, stunning the man even more. He realizes his gaze is no longer under his free will, Esau tries to raise the gun back up to the princess’s temple, but is unable.

With half his face covered in a pitch black aura, the controlled Vessel looks back at the lock of bright red hair and the adorable bow attached, then back at Esau.

The uncovered and unconcious right side of the Yin Vessel exposes a smile, pissing off the vengeful soldier.

Esau: "What the hell are you smiling at?

You think you’ve won?

Do you think I won’t blow this little girl’s head off now, since you want to take away MY valuables? You better hope whatever kind of EyeEngagement this is keeps me from taking back control, cuz as soon as I do, I’m going to make you pay, Yin."

MamMon DæMon: "I’ll have to ask you to refrain from doing such a thing, Esau, my unpredictable and irrational accomplice."

Esau’s eyes widen after he realizes who’s voice it is.

Behind him, as if out of nowhere, MamMon has appeared and is standing precariously on the edge of the building.

Unable to turn his head due to the EyeEngagement, Esau grimaces knowing his independent goals are now officially on hold.

With the Eye of Wisdom still in control, the Yin Vessel begins walking towards the man and Princess Kawaii, however MamMon quickly takes the gun from Esau’s hand and stops in front of the Vessel being controlled.

Like before when she was asked about her relationship with Saku, the DæMon is extremely red, blushing, and for the first time, seems to be unsure of what to do next. She presents the gun, laying it in her hands, looking up at the man she uncontrollably loves.

MamMon DæMon: "I-I-I’m sorry if m-my soldiers inconvenienced you, my-my darling.

It won’t happen again, I-I promise.

So can I ask for just a single request, my dear...

May I have just one kiss, I beg of you? Just to hold me over until I can win your heart in a few days, my love!"

There is a large shake and from the top of the building, there is a clear view of the surrounding wave of giant Icemen, closing in on the city.

The white orb within the pitch black absorbing aura has an eyebrow raised as if also confused by the proclamation and request of the Old Norse witch, but to the DæMon’s dismay, instead of answering, Saku’s green eye shoots open and the Yin Vessel falls to it’s knees in pain, holding his head.

Saku: "Ahhhhhhhhh!"

Grunts and groans escape the young man clearly in a new form of agony.

The surprise distraction breaks the EyeEngagement, leaving Princess Kawaii and Esau watching as the Yin Vessel lets out a horrible scream of pain up into the sky. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Princess Kawaii: "Big Brudder!"

Esau: "What the Hell is going on with him?"

As if to answer his question, the three of them on top of the building watch as the dark blue/purple and blood red clouds covering the city, start to glide directly towards the awakened Vessel in pain.

MamMon DæMon: "It’s the reason my sisters and I can’t help but fall in love with him...He is the complimentary force that our mothers despised.

He is the only one who can accept us all, and he’s the only one who can truly end our suffering in this existence."

The sounds of wind can be heard coming from Saku’s aura, combined with his contained pain.

However, the first single dark cloud from a human victim finally reaches the Vessel and gets *SUCKED* in like the Seiõr force Esau expelled earlier.

Inside Saku’s head, the screams, begging, and crying of a young man can be heard.

Cloud Voice: "Please, don’t! No more, it hurts help me, Daddy! Ow!"

Another cloud reaches the suffering unconscious Vessel and he falls to his back, rolling in anguish.

His green eye is now bloodshot and Saku is writhing on the rooftop.

Saku: "Ahhhhhgrrrhaaaaahhh!"

The next deceased human cloud enters his eye and the voice of a scared woman can be heard.

Cloud Voice: "Not my baby! Please, no anyone but her! Ahhhh, I beg you!

Someone help-"

As the more sad dark clouds get pulled in by the eye’s force, the more voices, screams, and crying is heard inside of Saku’s head.

Saku(thinking): *Who...are...these... people!?!?

What’s... going...on?!!?*

{West Roronora City (Downtown) 8:35 P.M. 2 Miles East From The Most Western Perimeter...}

With SeiõrSnow peacefully falling, the feeling of rumbling is felt throughout the entire outskirts of the city currently under attack by Icemen.

Screaming and most of the chaos is beginning to become thin and scarce compared to the peak of the commotion.

The cycling emergency sirens have gone silent and there are scattered fires in stores and vehicles are crashed.

The city’s streets are flowing with blood.

The sidewalks and busted buildings are covered in dark red with unrecognizable piles of gore littering every block.

An unclaimed intestine lays on the top of a broken, blood covered gun store door, keeping it barely open.

Every single one of the unsuspecting victims to the Icemen army has been beaten and mauled to a bloody pulp. Any remaining teeth and bits of hair are the only way one could tell any of the meat piles were once humans.

Katsu, with his IceEye popped off walks by a lonely car.

A civilian man with an IceEye is hiding in the back seat of the car, a blanket covering his shaking body.

Katsu(thinking): *No survivors...*

Suddenly the car begins to rock back and forth. The sounds of Icemen hissing and growling can be heard.

The ice aliens manage to tip the car upside-down, making the man scream as the window shatters.

Unfortunately for the individual wrapped in his hiding blanket, the violent aliens drag him out of the vehicle and begin to give him the same treatment. Stomping and stabbing their wrapped up victim.

The muffled pleas within the fleece blanket with Valentine heart designs begins to get soaked with his blood.

In less than 10 seconds there is no longer a sound coming from the blood dripping blanket and the 6 Icemen who were involved move on to the next human in their path.

Footsteps are heard right behind the ferocious aliens and the excited, violence hungry monsters turn to look.

To their surprise however, the Icemen turn to see Katsu, his Anjell Eye popped off to 2nd Stage with a Yang aura.

With his hands in his pockets, he is calmly walking through the blood painted city and looks both ways before crossing the road.

His above Sanpaku stare goes through the Icemen under his command and they all run away from him, as if THEY were the ones in fear now.

With a slightly constant shaking around him, the Yang Vessel slowly looks around at the sight of what his smaller Icemen army has done. A stern look is stuck on his face and he doesn’t flinch while looking at the bloody human piles and the significant steady stream of blood running between the sidewalk and street.

Katsu(thinking): *This is for throwing food and drinks at Shelly when we first showed up...

You mother fuckers thought you were going to get away with doing that to her?

You’re all going to pay...

The suffering for everyone in this city ends tonight.*

He passes by a blood covered school yard with swings and a concrete outdoor basketball court. A few blood soaked Icemen are leaving the broken double doorway and they see the intimidating Yang Vessel.

The aliens quickly go in the opposite direction, just like the other group that saw Katsu.

Katsu(thinking): *I’ve seen it happen too many times, the people of this society, who were once oppressed and treated like shit, will claim ’all Eyelien users’ continue to see them as lesser citizens. Blaming their shortcomings on each other, distrust and unreasonable hatred aimed even at the innocent alien eye users who never abused a ’pet’.

Laban thought she could just end slavery and the victim party would forgive and forget.

But that guy trying to kill Rebekah is just the first incident of many if I don’t stop it all here.

It’s the only way to end this cycle, everyone will be equal because of me. This is the only way to truly solve this problem, once it’s birthed.*

As Katsu continues nonchalantly striding towards the center of the city, he is stopped by a weak bloody hand that grabs his sweatpants.

With a pissed off grimace, Katsu looks down at a half beaten woman. Her entire bottom half is gone, and multiple stab wounds in her torso. Her blood and hole covered shirt dragging against the gravel.

Half-dead Woman: "Pl-pleease....hel...help m-..."

Katsu’s eyes move from the woman to straight ahead, looking east towards the center of the city.

Katsu: "I’m sorry, they shouldn’t have left anyone like this. Don’t worry, it’ll all be over soon."

He begins walking away, the grip from the dying woman lets go and immediately three Icemen pounce on top of her. One long, sharp, ice finger goes through the side of her head and then they begin to make her top half into another identical gore pile.

Katsu(thinking): *For the people who have had to suffer under Laban’s tyranny, as well as the shit bags who deserve to die, it all ends for them tonight.

Death is the only realistic way for all humans to become equal, and to make sure nobody targets Shelly.

Shelly deserves to live a happy life.

She’s the only one worthy of knowing the feeling of unending bliss and happiness. Anyone trying to ruin that for her, will be taken care of, by me.

It is the only thing I can do to repay her...

Everything she’s done for me.

Saving me from bullies and taking an interest in the things that I enjoy.

What she’s had to go through...*

His black sneakers steps in a small gore pile and he looks down at the bloody pacifier a yard next to it. Two larger piles of an unrecognizable mother and father close by with a destroyed baby carriage on it’s side.

Katsu(thinking): *If Saku didn’t have to pretend to care about everyone, Shelly wouldn’t have to be in the middle of all this.

Trying to be the reason unforgivable sinners like Laban ’change for good’.

If he were the victim of someone’s unforgivable sin, he wouldn’t be so accepting. He’s selfish, just like everyone other than Shelly in this shit world.

She’s the one who really cares.

Even I don’t deserve-...

...

...Even I-...*

He lifts his foot and looks at the blood that drips of it. The bodily fluid of someone he had never seen or known. He grits his teeth and steps over the pile, continuing east.

Katsu(thinking): *I not wrong...If it were for my mom, my father would do the same for the one he loves...right?*

Suddenly to his surprise, another voice, a deep, slithery, ’devilish’ voice.

A voice that has not yet been heard until now, is within Katsu’s head.

Deep Voice: "End your grief with me...

You’ll take your place inside the fire, Katsu..."

Katsu stops walking, with one foot in front of the other, he looks around without turning his head. His green right eye narrows and darts back and forth.

Deep Voice: "Take the word from an immortal, she won’t go to Heaven, so this existence is her only chance, Katsu "

Katsu(thinking): *If there were anyone, Shelly would be the most deserving to live in Heaven.

I’ll go to Hell for her, nobody will take her!*

Deep Voice: "Why? Just because she suffered as a child?

Because you’re always too weak to defend yourself and her innate acts of reciprocity are what saves you?

Until they don’t that is...

You had better make it all worth your sacrifice this time, or you will be taking a place inside the fire WITH her, Katsu."

Katsu’s fists tighten and it shake at his side but then he quickly relaxes.

A smirk appears in his face and both his eyes shoot forward.

Katsu: "Fine, Shelly is too good for any afterlife Heaven anyway.

That’s why I’m going to make THIS world Heaven, just for her.

We don’t need any of those shitty versions of utopian after life.

I’ll make sure this existence IS her Utopia and anyone who tries to prevent me from doing so will be given their judgement."
