The Secret Journals

Entry 22: The Fight and the Escape

Daisy if  you are reading this entry Death and I would engage in the all too familiar dance of battle. Sparks would fly as blades clash against each other. Chaos broke loose, but something about this same song and dance felt different. It's as if Death was overtaken by a greater evil than her seldom walks on earth stacking my office in paperwork. Most of those deaths Shinra did were untimely and unjustified, but this, this suggests pure darkness. I will fight to the bitter end for you so that you and the rest of heaven may live...

Daisy noticed this entry was writing itself, mystified when reading it, she realized this wasn't just any entry. This was his legacy in case he were to truly die. As Daisy watched to see this oddity run its course, the battle for the Living is still rampant. Claude tries to comfort the worried wife, however, nothing can bring her comfort as she stayed helpless watching the words unfold on the pages.

...I dodged her slashes, but she just won't quit she's got the look of the devil himself on her face I don't know how much longer I can go on like this... perhaps I can try to use a spell to protect my hand and purge her. I can condense the affects of Project Purgatory into my hand and eradicate the evil that lies within her, it can work, but the risk is that her identity could be compromised she may even have amnesia. Not to mention the energy required could possibly kill me for good if it doesn't hit the target. I thought as she prepared more blows I was growing tired anything seemed better than dragging this out any further....

"Don't you do it Life, you can bring her back I know you can! Claude let me out of here!" Daisy begged.

"Sorry, Mum I am under strict orders to keep you safe." Claude apologized.

"Alright Claude you leave me no choice, initiate  manual override." Daisy instructed.

"Authorization Code Requir- Wait Mum you can't be serious you're going to override this Master Life will be most furious." Claude insisted.

"Authorization Code: Heaven Alpha 6-8-4 Epsilon... Sorry Claude, but I have a husband to save." Daisy apologized after uttering the code she secretly stole from Life anticipating such a thing from him.

"Authorization Code accepted:  Initiating override procedure. Emergency shut down activated." Claude said in a more mechanical tone, and with that the lights went out of the robots eyes for a short while.

Hang on Life and Death, I'm coming to save you both. Daisy flew to the battleground hurrying to her husband's aid carrying the journal in hand keeping it safe occasionally writing in it in a desperate attempt to lengthen the fight to buy her time.
