S2 #16: Emptiness and Suffering

The darkness of the night has been set, Chie is walking in a park located outside the city, composed of many hills, trees and bushes. Eventually, as she walks by a pathway down a hill, she finds a fat plain, as immense as a professional soccer field!

Also, next to a hill, at the border of the green flat area, SHUN IS STANDING THERE, NEXT TO HIS CAR.

_Shun: Interesting, you came here as soon as possible.

_Chie: ...

_Shun ...

_Chie: Where is he? Where's Rui?

_Shun: He's in my car right now. But don't worry, he's only tied up, I-

Chie IGNITES HER AURA AND tries to run towards the car. She sprints in a semi-circle to avoid Shun, but he quickly notices, and immediately blocks her path. Chie backs off as a result. The speed difference is clear.

_Shun: Do you really think you can just ignore me? Are you not scared? Am I not a threat to you?

_Chie: Tcht, you bastard...

_Shun: Besides, as far as I'm concerned, when we first met, it was made VERY CLEAR that I am much stronger than you on every aspect possible. You only awoke your aura 3 weeks ago, whereas for me...

I am an aura user ever since I was born.

_Chie: ...Well good for you then, asshole.

Shun's aura emits malicious intentions, just like he did to intimidate Rui! However, unlike him, Chie's determination helps her be unaffected.

_Shun: It seems like our power dynamics are not clear, you brat. I surpass you in every aspect, and I can kill your friend if you piss me off. So... Let's instead make an exchange, an equivalent exchange.

_Chie: ...What do you want?

_Shun: I kill you; I retrieve the comet's spiritual energy out of your corpse, and AFTERWARDS, your friend leaves this place alive, how does that sound?

_Chie: ...And why would I believe you?

_Shun: You can't, you just have to accept the terms and die. Is it really so hard for you to understand?

_Chie: ...Then why did you involve him?

_Shun: Hm?

_Chie: You claim you're stronger than me, and yet you're so pathetic that you use a hostage to intimidate me. Why?

_Shun: ...? What the hell is wrong with you, brat? Are you so stupid you bother about my feelings?

_Chie: Yes, because I pity you.

_Shun: ...

_Chie: The day my life changed, the day I finally felt like my life had a purpose, that's the day I also met you. You took care of me, took me to a hospital, and even paid for it. And after that day, as I recovered... I had a wish. I wished that one day, somehow, I could become as strong as you, and finally meet you once again.

_Shun: ...

_Chie: But now I finally met you, and I realize you're just fucking scum. And I'm mad at myself, cuz I yearned meeting you again, and now...

the one person I actually care most in this world... has been kidnapped... KIDNAPPED BY YOU!

_Shun: ... (what a melodramatic brat)

_Chie: PARTICLE RUPTURE, ACTIVATE!

Chie charges on her hand an aura sphere! A big amount of energy goes to that part of her body, and the ball grows as big as a honeydew melon. Unimpressed, Shun draws his two swords out of his belt, and makes his stance.
