Harvest Moon Island of Confusion

The beginning to the End

"Lillian!"

That was all that could be remembered..... she escaped Cam's grasp once again as the being of light, their very own holy angel, descended into the open air like mist.

'The first key has been summoned'

That was the very last thing she said. Now Cam stood alone, baffled and highly irritable. "Hehe. My, my. Did Lover boy's bodyguard leave him to rot alone?" Cam's ear's burnt to the sound of the once cowardly guards approaching. He rolled his eye's at his comments. That was until- "Or maybe Cupcake discovered you weren't man enough to love her-"

Cam, like a rocket, dashed forward and sidestepped with a raised leg as he delivered a powerful blow to the Soldier's temple. The man consumed by thick silver, fell like an apple from just the single attack. "Mention that woman from your filthy mouth once more, and I promise I will kill you"

...........................................

The match between this tale's Rachel and Denny commenced. Rachel, with her weapon raised high, at full speed approached him. It was as if time for them was moving bearably slow, for they each read each other's movements like a map. Denny released grip on his bandana, and as the material floated down gently, still glued to that very spot, swung back as she swiped her weapon across her body, in hopes of striking him.

Before the bandana had the opportunity to make contact with the ground, he than rapidly sprung up like a spring only to bend forward and grab it. As he did so, he flicked it so that it would twist, and wrap around her thin ankles where he than pulled in closer to himself, tripping her. Rachel looks up to him, and with the look in her eye's Kana could tell that she had anticipated this all.

Denny sat on top, forcefully having her pinned to the ground, when Soseki too, realised something was off about the whole situation. Although they were fast, she fell too easy. He gives a quick glance to Kana who nods in agreement.

"It seem's as if I have won" Denny smirks. His grin fading as her's formed.

"That was never a possibility" she replies.

Kana and Soseki's eye's enlarge in unison as they screamed- "Denny, behind you!"

.............................................

"Urgh~"

"Are you okay!?"

Eliot open's his eyes and squints them as he winces in pain. "My glasses......" he sighs, holding the fragments in the palms of his hands. "What happened....?"

The team managed to make their way to the rooftop, which oddly enough, had no one keeping watch whatsoever. "You lost it, dude" Rod chuckles through the gaps between his finger's, as he face-palmed himself.

"Did I?"

Hiro too, laughs sorrowfully at his friend. "I will admit, you gave us quite the scare there" A brow was raised by Eliot as Hiro had his back turned on the pair, as if avoiding all possible contact.

"Hiro..." Eliot say's, forcing his way over to the small man in the lab coat. When Eliot saw what he was hiding, our pink-haired hero gasped in shock.

The once white lab coat, from the front, was nothing more than a painting done in blood. He was completely devoured. Rod glances down at his shoes saddened by the sight. "Forgive me.... friend" Hiro smiles. "I was careless during our battle, and allowed a weapon to make contact with my shoulder.... too much blood has been lost"

"You are a doctor though! Surely you brought the right medication for this sort of incident!?"

"Eliot...." Rod whistles. Said with a tone so faint, that it made a noise similar to that. "All medication..... was given to you, to help you recover from your state..."

Eliot's eye's enlarged. They glittered as gloss formed due to his tears. "You idiot!" he shouts.

Hiro however; regretted not a single thing. Instead he just continued to smile and called for his team mates to draw closer. As they did so, they each took a hand and sat beside the doctor. "As a way to meet my end, I will admit, I do not regret it" Each man sobbed uncontrollably as Hiro closed his eyes and laughed. "Thank you...... for everything...."

"HIRO!?"

..................................

"Damn. I need Chelsea to open the gate! I am not powerful enough to take out Yuuki, not when he thinks like a demon. If Chelsea opens such a thing though..... she will die." the Goddess grunts and groans as these thoughts continued to emerge. Her battle with Lord Yuuki was ongoing, and more tiring than difficult.

No matter what attack she used, he and his blade forged with the same orbs in which Natalie's glove is, managed to counter them. She was running low on stamina, yet he was not.

"So have you told her? The consequences of what will happen when she open's up the gate?" she narrow's her eye's at his question.

Chelsea could hear them clearly, and wore a questionable look towards them. "What is going to happen?" our Heroine asks. Yuuki grins, watching as the Goddess's gaze falls elsewhere.

The pair continued to squabble, and in the process of doing so, he managed to answer her question. "If you activate that gate, not only will I perish, but you will also" Chelsea's stomach sunk at the words spoken. "I have told you already, you and I can never love"

"My Goddess, is this true!?"

"I am afraid so-"

"You bitch." Chelsea's eyelids lowered and formed a rather spiteful stare in which the Goddess received. "So I must sacrifice my life, my family... to correct your errors!?" Chelsea couldn't believe this. "You keep everything, and because of this, we must die!? Neither of us would be in this damn position is it was not for you!"

"Chelsea... please try to understand, this is for the best"

Yuuki places their battle on hold, observing whether or not another one would begin. "Oh I understand" Chelsea snarls. "I will open the gate, but I just hope you are satisfied with yourself!"

The Harvest Goddess arches her brows upwards, looking regrettably at someone whom was meant to be so dear to her. "I am so truly sorry.." she whimper's. "Anti-key.... activate."
