Under the Blood Moon

Sion's Rage

Sion pov: "Guys are you-a... ahh..."

I looked back and saw everyone laid out. Everyone looked dead besides Ries, Sacchin, Arcueid, Arihiko, and Seo, but they were still badly damaged.

"My... my body..." Kohaku groaned

The area where she was cut in half began to bleed as if she were reverting.

"Onee... Onee-chan!" Hisui groaned

Shiki had crawled over towards his sister. "Akiha... are you alive?" He asked before passing out due to blood loss.

Sacchin stepped forward towards me. "We're not dead yet..." she growls right before falling to her knees and vomiting. She still struggled to stand, her legs buckling under themselves.

"Hold still...." Ryougi softly mutters, grabbing Sacchin to help her stand, but she soon fell unresponsive due to the link she has with Shiki.

"You're late!" Arcueid said

"I know..."

"Si-" Ries began to speak, but her left arm suddenly vanished. She looked at the missing appendage that dissipated like dust and blew away in the wind.

"Oh, I get it now! Riesbyfe Stridberg is a Tatari creation; she was made by you! But since you creatures have pushed me so far, everything I created will come undone! She literally is dying!"

"Sion I'm fine!" Ries claimed, but her right leg began to disappear.

"Did you know this was happening?"

"..."

"Father..."

"What, my daughter?"

"Go to hell!"

He didn't even see me hit him. Before he knew it, he was slammed into a pillar.

"Wait Sio-" Before he could speak, I clawed his right eye. Arcuied is using the Crimson Moon, so this damage is permanent.

I swung my wire viciously, lacerating his body all over, and then I wrapped it around him, pulling him in and punching him all in that order. I practically shattered his skull with that.

"YOU UNGRATEFUL DAUGHTER, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO LET ME CONTROL YOU-LET ME IMPLANT YOU WITH THE TATARI, BECOME MY SUCCESSOR!"

He threw a punch, so I lifted my arm, absorbing it with my pseudo Gamaliel. "You need to die..." I grow shooting the impact off double the strength. He was engulfed by the blast, and half his body was obliterated.

"Dad what are you doing?"

"I'm studying, we can play later!"

I began repeatedly battering him with punches.

"What happened to mom?"

"She passed... that's partially why I'm doing my research. One day you'll find someone important to you. Someone you'll want to protect and I'll stand by you!"

"You good for nothing!"

"THAT IS YOU DAUGHTER!"

"You said you would stick by me, and support whoever I loved instead you killed her!"

"SHE WAS A DISTRACTION!"

I hit him with my "busy bug" attack hitting him with a forward slash. Scarring his face pretty badly.

"WHY WON'T YOU BECOME ME!?"

"You want me to be you?"

"YES!!!"

"Hmph... Terror News (Malice)"

I did exactly as he would do and made three blade things out of energy wire stabbing them all into him. This is his move. This is what he wanted.

"YOU STILL ARE OPPOSING ME!?"

"Eitherlite Punch...."

I rushed forward and made a drill out of my wire tearing into his stomach. "GAUGH..." he coughed up blood.

"You are mistaken, I am the Tatari..."

"Wha-"

"No Ark..."

I summoned a giant claw which crushed him under it.

"Wait... Sion, why aren't you under my control if you have succumb to the Tatari!?"

"You've calmed down a bit..."

"Answer me!!!"

"I would never stoop to your level and I will never become the next you. Whatever you want me to be is in direct opposition with what I want-The only thing I want is to be with my friends... All I wanted was to be with Ries and you took that away from me!"

"I'm... I'm still here partially!"

"I see that..."

"You've grown soft!"

"I'm not like Arcueid. I'm not someone who's really powerful. I'm not someone who can ignore my emotion. You can try to suppress it all you want but I'm not going to give in."

"Even if you do kill me you'll succumb to the Tatari eventually. It's only a matter of time!"

"I promise I won't!"

"Oh, but you will... You'll want to get your woman back and in order to do that you'll follow my path you will see what I saw and you will learn to lose hope!"

"Sion... I know you'll find a way!"

"Ries I..."

"Are you really satisfied in killing him like this? Pinned under a hand made from your vampiric abilities? Don't you want to beat him as a human!?" Arcueid asks.

"If you don't kill me now I promise you won't get another chance. As soon as this hand dissappears you're dead!"

"You have everything it'll take! You don't have to worry Sion, I'll be fine!"

Ries said that knowing full well she won't be fine. Then again she is a Tatari construct and I don't know if they really feel pain when they vanish.

"You can win this and then afterwards find me... if anyone can pull this off its you!"

Ries is so confident in me and I have to be in myself.

"The cure for vampirism you can't find it if you become a mindless slave to the Tatari!" Sacchin claimed

That's right for her I want to save her. Even if Ries disappears now I still have Sacchin. She is like family to me and I need to save her no matter what.

"Curing this is impossible!" He shouts

"For you..."

I'm going to find a way to do so I need to. If I can make one philosopher stone I can make another and Ries will be back soon enough... no I'll use the first one on Ries and the second on Sacchin.

"You are too selfless!"

"You're too selfish..."

Two sides of the same coin. Yin & Yang.

I won't let my father win. He's already taken too much from me.

I can't beat him as a vampire however. I will kill him as a human...
