The Skull Crusaders

The kingdom of Memories

"Guen Stop!!" Shouted Eddy spreading his arms, raising the earth and concrete up to stop her from moving forward. "you need to calm down!"

Guen glared down at Eddy still picturing the tears he shed those years ago "you die now" she said extending her arm creating another circle of transmutation and firing a a cannon of aura at him. 

Eddy created a sand whip to pull himself out of there but gasped as he crashed into her. "Guen stop!" he shouted jumping back as the ground around her disintegrated. "this isn't you, you have to gain back control! i don't want to have to hurt you!"

Guen cracked her neck before clapping her hands together to create a large shockwave, launching Eddy back into the ruins of the church.

"eddy!" shouted Kazuki running up to Guen "stop this Guen, I's us! your friends!" 

Guen turned to face him, he too looked familiar "you were there" she said staring into his eyes and dragging him into a deep void of memories where he watched her as she slaughtered the townspeople. "You watched me suffer, you watched me kill those people, you didn't do anything" she smiled looking at Kazuki frozen in his child like body. "you should join me" she stretched out her hand as the small Kazuki ran to her with tears in his eyes "that's right little one, I'll take away the pain, I'll make sure nothing else hurts you ever again" Before Kazuki could reach her she pulled back her hand, she felt a strange disturbance as her memory began to crumble.

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!!" shouted Ean holding on to her as he pumped his vibration power into her, ruining her concentration and the trance she had Kazuki in. "Kazuki RUN!!" he shouted as Guen spread her arms loosening his grip on her and pushing back hard.

Kazuki gasped regaining himself "those memories, they felt so real" he looked up and saw Guen smiling at him as she pointed one of her circles at him. He braced himself for the worst and leaped back as soon as a strange green creature came out. It was tall and bulky, his skin was a deep shade of green, pointy ears and three fingers. "how is she making these things!?!" he shouted disappearing with his speed to avoid the creatures attacks. He appeared in the sky next to Guen where he got caught by her Aura once again.

"you came back" she said cheerfully spreading her arms and hugging the life out of him. 

Ean coughed pulling himself out of some rubble "this is insane" he said holding his chest and seeing the whole city as it began to collapse "at this rate their will nothing left" he clenched his fists spread his legs "I'm sorry Guen, I hope you can forgive me!" he shouted making his hands vibrate as he swung them creating strange aura induced rectangles. 

"weak" said Guen tossing Kazuki to deal with Ean, she raised her arm creating a barrier of transmutation circles, making more creatures appear and absorb the hits for her. She laughed flying higher into the air but stopped feeling something pull her back. She turned around and felt the same thing from before, the same thing that caused her to exit the dream she had trapped Kazuki in. 

"GUEN!!"

 She snapped holding her head as her name kept echoing through her mind. 

Ean shouted Guens name running to avoid the creatures while still firing off his rectangles that crashed onto the creatures and bounced into her thick aura vibrating their way into her mind. "SNAP OUT OF IT!!" he shouted into her mind making her scream in agony.

"get out of my head!?!" she roared as her Aura thickened but no matter what she did his words would not escape her mind. She looked down at him and charged in, pinning him to the ground with her aura. "die!" she roared coughing up blood.

Ean gasped as his body was being crushed "Don't do this!" he shouted lifting his arm through to touch her "I don't want to kill you!?!" 

Guen gasped sensing that his vibrations were dancing around her body, at any given moment they could crush her heart and end her life. "you! who are you!?!" she said looking into his eyes as a tear dripped. She pierced his mind and entered his subconscious. She opened her eyes to see a peaceful town, snow covering the edge of the street and falling from the sky. fancy street lamps, she was clearly far from her home. She stared up the stairs to see a nicely lit wooden door burst open as two small children were thrown out. A woman came crying out but a man elbowed her and slammed her back inside locking the kids out. Guen watched as the little girl ran up the stairs slipping, picking herself up and slam her fist on the door, screaming for forgiveness. 

After a while of knocking the girl gave up, falling to her knees in tears. She looked up as the small boy came to her crying. "come on Ean, We have to find another place to stay"

Guen watched as all of Eans memories flooded into her, the struggles he and his older sister went through just to survive. How they snuck onto a train to move somewhere without snow, how they got robbed and beaten near to death by some older men. Guen's eyes were left wide open as she watched Ean cry over the body of his sister, the blood being washed away by the rain, her life was gone and all for what? A small loaf of bread she had stolen to help them make it through the night. She watched as the kid cried more and more begging the heavens to bring his sister back. "ENOUGH!!" she shouted pulling away from Ean just in time to let him breath. She flew up as the last words Ean's sister told him echoed through her mind, Eans vibrations had ended but those words lingered. "Live on, for the two of us" 

Eddy heard Guen screaming in agony, He coughed pulling himself out of the rubble when he saw Scarlet lying on the ground. 

"those kids did it!" shouted Asmodeus coming out of the shadows "now's my chance!" he teleported himself next to Guen "Give me your power!" he shouted creating a black sphere around them but gasped as Kazuki appeared out of nowhere to punch him. 

"Guen!! It's us" he shouted kicking at the air to move towards her.

"no!! leave me alone!!" shouted Guen expanding her Aura wide pushing Kazuki and Asmodeus back. She fell down as her aura began to fade, her creatures began to disappear and her rage began to calm down. She fell to her knees and whispered "I'm sorry" as she fell to the ground next to Ean.
