Chapter 24 - Chapter 23: Surprise

"Won't last long, not to worry much. But you'll succumb to it."

He said patting mori's back as he left him kneeled to the ground, he walked towards kirino until being stopped by the sound of a warning shot.

*Thud*

"A single stab through the stomach ain't stopping me"

Mori stood up pressing the blade in his stomach seemingly pacing down the blood

breach.

"You might as well explain what that thing is or i might as well blast you down"

Body guards surround the cloaked person as he grins at mori, as he then gagged out loud.

Hah-- GAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

"On all seriousness that thing, is the final step in fulfilling my duty as his lowly right hand, once that thing reaches its final stage it is all but securing the victory to get what i want and what he needs.

Either way you should probably stay out this,

I'm not gonna say anything about what that thing can do but pray to your mothers ass that your not gonna end up like---

*TATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATAFATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATAT*

Shot in all directions shot in all corners, not nothing but a mushed up bundle of guts and flesh sprayed out on the floor. Mori stood there staring at the jumbled mess as he made all the bodyguards form a human chain to pull kirino out of there.

Quickly lining up all of them, as they formed one chain from another, throwing themselves one by one whilst being held by the other, carefully reaching themselves onto kirino's running position, he notices as the bodyguards went through the barrier keeping him from not seeing clearly whats outside.

Mori!

Kirino yelled out as he grabbed onto one of them, the rest started pulling away. It was very struggling than what was to be expected tons of exerting force for one might to expect from this, kirino let out a struggling

smirk as he tries to pull himself out of there.

"GETTING YOU OUT OF THERE FAST!"

Mori yelled out with both arms pulling one of the summoned bodyguards.

*STEP*

Turning his head once more, he saw him and took quick measurements to act quickly.

"Don't move!"

Mori pointed the pistol at him stanced infront, he stares at mori then kirino still stuck at the cross as he grinned before speaking.

Sheesh, looks like you got a tight end on your ass huh.

"Not that i'd care for that, do any funny shit and your being blown to pieces"

Me being blown to pieces is whats gonna end you

"Then i'll try it"

He said with the bold look, a quick action of open fire blew throughout sending ear piercing sound echoing through the land, the smoke of the bullets covering the vision but the light slightly sparking is what gave an idea.

At the single motion to stop, mori waiting as the smoke cleared---

---?!

"He's"

Hehe.

"Cheating bastard!"

*SMACK*

GAH!

Mori knew he'd do that trick again, he did also had a trick up ahead which is how he was able to throw a punch towards the guys face the moment he knew he'd appear right behind him.

*BLAST*

It immediately followed by being blasted away through the projectile of a rocket, as he was then sent thrown all the way at the distant distance, calmly then he was picking himself back up now not even caring to look at mori one bit.

Ha-ha-HA! How intruiging!

"Might as well do it now!"

Mori said with a distant smile

Ho-ho try m---

*TATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATAT-- GIVE ME SOME AIR WILL Y--TATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATAT- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH- TATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATTATATATAT*

Firing stopped as he still stood, albeit he was now covered in bullet holes gaping with pouring blood the ground stains of red as he stares up in the sky. His body steams in response to heal himself.

Mori glances on as he then provoked with the held arms alongside the body guards around him.

"I dare you!"

Mori provoked, the action of this made him already know healing would start the chain again. He proceeds to stare at the sky after that small exchange.

Hm?

"So?"

Mori questioned him, this guy. This guy just standing there staring at the sky at this point he's just about starting to look shirtless his only piece of torso clothing now barely even clinging its just ripped, ripped as if it was mauled or some sort.

You know.....

"What?"

You know....

"Get to the point."

The sky.... it fli--

"JUST GET TO THE POINT ALREADY!!"

well thats rude, anyways i feel energized now. As i was saying! Blah blah blah blah blah. I don't have anything to think ALL I CARE IS THAT I AM FULFILLING MY GOAL. That is it!

"That was utter nonsense"

Get real now! And resume this!

"Without no doubt!"

Lunging towards each other the two with fierce looks at each other leaped on as the

wind swayed, the wind swayed both as they were in air. Truely they were feeling and detailing everything their bodies where at

Every milisecond of the scene that they were lunging at each other.

Their voices filled with barbaric rage of tone, detailing the conclusion that at the end, all that there is to it was to end this fight...

End it once and for all and to see who would win the trophy to stand up, up all on the highest point in a mountain. What could even possibly note that, the sky shone the far ends laughed, everything in melancholy truely a scene of disbelief....

* * *

AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGHHHHRRRRRRRRR

"GRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGG"

[Got you now! Got you now! Gotcha! Gotcha! Every single frame i get closer to him i sense it, i smell it, i feel it... sweet victory, victory against this one prick....

Then i can kill the other one with ease once i finish this..... finish this with my own hands]

AAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHRRRRRAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH---

Huh? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What?

What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What?.

What is this?, my arm it was stretched forward to him! I almost had him! Why am i still.... no.... i cant feel my body.... how is this---

"Your clueless pope, the fact that it took me to explain it just so you could process that, really tainted your aura pope."

What?!

"Your wondering, i'm gonna break out of this ice bond real fast, fast and easy! I took extra measures to ensure your not getting away so slick."

"Open his jaw mori"

GAAAH...

he pants for air as his jaw way subsequentally freed

You! What did you did?!.

"Froze you from the inside out, its obvious"

Kirino said with a sinister look, the entire conversation was sinister.

What are you gonna do next? I'm practically immortal! once that altar was built you'd already be doomed! The both of you.

"Doomed?, DOOMED?"

short silence followed by hysterical laufhter played out, the two mocked him as he stared expressionless confused as to what were they plotting.

Kirino finished laughing first as he moved his face closer, from shoulder to shoulder speaking.

"You!, you are really clueless. Never made it past elementary huh? Thats too bad. I made it past college!"

"No your not!"

I'M GONNA KILL YOU ENOUG--

*CLOBBER*

"Now, now! Thats not great to begin with! To keep it simple. A low life like you ain't worth torturing, really. Thats why were gonna end ya quick!."

Pfft. I doubt so! Measly so---

Eyes widened, as to the sudden move. Kirino's hand now inside his mouth, what shall he do next what would the action be? Its obvious.

MMMMMFFFGGHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

His eyes in pure disbelief stare on as kirino's arm narrowly stretches within his throat all the way to his trachea, his hand now in a fisted motion disperses the ice within him inside. Freexing the tissue and flesh hard rock.

Kirino streches out his other arm as he then plunges it in his chest, specifically in the area where his heart was located, his eyes now widened seeing his heart pulled out his screams, then suddenly turned into gagging in reflux to his heart now in kirino's hand whom he lifts up high. Blood drips from the slowly beating heart, his eyes twitch his nose bleeds so then his eyes. Ears now bleeding and the altar that was summoned starts flickering.

"That actually worked"

Kirino surprisingly yelled out, seeing both threats weakening and deteriorating, down to the ground he then threw the heart, and began stomping he did, the man now frozen in place heartless could only watch, he is now slowly decaying away. His weak point now realized and subsequently taken care of.

Kirino and mori stare on as the guy turns greyer and greyer only to then be blown away from the wind as the dust he was, the two watched and stood as none was left so as the altar which have been dismantled after the users demise.

Kirino turns to mori and starts

"That was it."

"Now what?"

"Of course! WE HAVE THE ENTIRE PLACE TO OURSELVES!!!"

"HELL YEAH!!!"

"WE WON!"

"VICTORY IS OURS!"

Both celebrated excaticly their chants their yells their exclamations echoed through the valleys of non-existance, they were the only two left. Nobody was there anymore, they did what their goal was. But what next? By the looks of their celebration what is to do next?

"Now that everybody is dead, we might as well trash up the place. No law can stop us,

More i think of it we could find some secret shit the game never told us about."

"Now that is interesting, where should we look first. Hm? Its obvious we need to find the most likely place that could store some."

"Lets go back to that city we trashed, we missed a few blocks over there could hold something"

"Off to it!"

"LETS GO!"

[ 3 Days Later... ]

Red sky, endless towers above. Light, light

The roads ahead. The ruined half, a sightful city to ones own view, towers. Blocks of shops and buildings a like, viewing from a window or a balcony and maybe even a roof you could see far bayond what the eyes show to come, even the two looking onward in this sky scraper.

"Man... that was one hell of a shopping spree."

Mori speaks to kirino whilst viewing the skyline and streets through the balcony, a high sky scraper they were in and nothing really explains much.

"Might wanna rephrase that to scavenger hunt or something. Shopping makes it sound too legal, were the only two here now."

Kirino speaks with his mouthful of chips as he chow's down on whatever he has on hand, his hand rummaging the chip bag besides him as he lays down on the ground.

For the last 3 days the two have been living in this skyscraper scavenging for whatever stuff they could find, so far their entire camp makes up the two of them but the site is somewhat liveable.

"I'm really surprised, the fact that the other part of this area had furniture, necessities and other stuff you'd need to survive even questions me more. Like theres a damn couch over there yet your sleeping in that tent with the makeshift campfire over there"

"This is camping. I can lay down on the ground and sleep on the couch at the same time, don't ask how i can do that!"

"Atleast we should give ourselves the credit. Without my abilities or yours we wouldn't have made this sick looking base at day 0"

"Thats what i'd like to hear!"

"Of course! Now whats for supper?"

"Dinner"

"Yes, Dinner."

"Rotissery chicken, just found it today"

Kirino pulled it out from the duffel bag on the other side.

"In one of the buildings right?"

"Yeah. That apartment down the corner, it's a bit shady but theres a good stockpile on the basement especially in the 3rd floor rooms"

Mori let out a sequence of laughter after kirino finished that sentence he approaches him as he walked away from the balcony, he stood right infront of him, kirino raised his eyebrow as he questions mori's own context.

"You gone senile or something?"

"No, no its just that what do you mean by shady?"

"Did i made things more confusing? I might as well rephrase shady as secluded."

Mori laughed out hysterically

"Hm?"

"Nothing, nothing. Its nothing. Were the only

two left. We could believe there are hidden players in this realm but in the end its just us even the game could confirm that, isn't it?"

[Indeed, 2 souls remaining]

"Hard to believe we killed everyone"

"Thats unbelievable if i think about it. Besides you should start roasting that, it might get stale soon."

"Aight!"

Mori turns back to the balcony to continue staring on, throughout the skyline as the sky turns the dark, the red shade now turning maroon all before it becomes night.

Kirino watches the chicken as mori finally finishes gazing upon the setting sky as he then proceeds to sit on the couch and turn on the tv infront of him.

*STATIC*

"What are you doing?"

"Don't mind me."

"Whatever schizophreniac, do know the chickens almost done."

"I'll turn on the lights"

The almost darkened room now lightened, throw the tiny LED lights scattered throughout the ceiling, the built in bulbs weren't enough, not even the campfire. Atleast this would light the way.

Kirino waves at mori to head over there, as the chicken was already prepared, mori grabs a fine china plate and a cutting knife on hand, he slices the whole to two halfs, equally sharing the portion through the both.

Mori sits down joining kirino next to the camp fire as they both eat, whilst feasting kirino starts up a conversation. About what to do next.

"Got any plans for tomorrow?"

"Not really."

"There has to be some way to kill some time you know."

Kirino said whilst having food in his mouth.

"Try not to eat with your mouth fool"

"I make my own rules"

"Speaking of which, we should take a hike to that one place we haven't been to yet."

"Which is?"

"Around north."

"How'd you know theres something there?"

"Remember what little missy said when we were heading to that hill?"

[ I spawned in a place full of stone hedges its weird but its about west from here ]

"Honestly i don't remember"

"Just follow my lead"

"Alrighty then!"

Kirino gave mori a thumbs up, as he then laid down on the floor staring up at the ceiling before crashing on to the couch

"Before we go there, i might as well scavenge a bit tomorrow morning."

"Sure, i'll tag along. That way things would be simple."

"Not in that sort of way but yeah. Who knew that we'd turn into junkies after everybody got killed"

"Junkies."

"We fight and fight and fight, remember what the game said?"

[Eventually you'd have to kill each other. Alliances would eventually turn into rivalries]

"Thats not what it said"

"Trust me yatsuda. Lets try not to talk about that one part"

"Call me kirino would ya?"

"Aight! Kirino. Let's get some rest. [GULP]

tomorrows going to be a good day"

"A big day, actually"

"I'll blow out the camp fire"

"Go ahead, mori."

Mori proceeded to put out the fire with the remaining liquid inside the water battle he was drinking from. The room turned dark with only the shining light from the makeshift moon seeped through the balcony curtains as mori went on to his bed.

"Night."

"Night."

Both exchange goodnight greeting as they both slept on, in hopes for a brighter day, a hopeful matter...
