Red Moon

Back To Nothing

~Lightning~

I Prince Lightning am dying. All these years and I'm dying because I made some fucking friends and let my fucking guard down, how fucking poetic. I walked into the middle of a street. A car was coming. I held my hand out and my eyes burned up. The car slammed right into my hand and came into a stop. I ripped the front door off and pulled out the driver. A female with brunette hair.

"What are you." She said.

"I am death." I said opening my mouth as my fangs appeared. I sank my teeth into her neck, and I began to drink her blood. I drank until her head fell off her neck. I picked her head up by her hair and I slammed it through a window in her car, as her body fell to the ground. I punched the hood of her car. I sped away, I reached the cave, Keyshia, Inyu, Tokine and I stayed at a month ago.

   I looked around, nothing but two chairs made up of the material on the ground. I crouched over and began to cough up blood. I heard my heart skip a beat. That's it isn't it. At least no one gets to see me die, I was born into this world with no one, I will die the same. I laughed, then coughed up more blood. I saw a note and a crumbled up paper on one of the chairs. I opened the crumbled up paper. "Follow the route ~Lightning" the non crumbled up paper read. "I get to spend quality alone time with Lightning in your face Keyshia ~ Tokine" she added a smiley face sticking a tongue out. I smiled.

   I dropped to the ground after coughing more blood and sat leaning to the wall. I lived nice. I can't complain. Shitty life but nice. I closed my eyes.

"You always sucked at hiding your ki." I heard Arisa's voice. She walked in the cave and sat next to me. "Thank you for everything Lightning." She was fighting against everything not to cry.

"In the end it's you and Hanabi who saw me and not Keyshia. I'm kinda disappointed... but thank you Arisawa." I said as I watched my body begin to desiccate from my fingers rising towards my head slowly.

"Hanabi?" Arisawa asked.

"She won't make it in time but you'll see." I lay my head on her shoulders. "Seems like this is goodbye, I'll pass my torch to you, think you can handle it?" She stood silent. I smiled. My lips weren't moving now. So it reached my face already. I see Hanabi run in the cave, her mouth is moving but I hear no words. So it reached my ears.

So long partner...

-Arisawa-

"Lightning!" Hanabi yelled out she breaks down crying and falls to hug him.

Lightning hasn't moved from my shoulders. He hasn't said a word. Suddenly his body went up in flames. Hanabi jumped backwards. I got up and looked at Hanabi, I don't know how to comfort someone Lightning is dead and I must stay publicly strong. I touched her head. Then I walked out the cave. Keyshia just arrived.

"A little too late." I tell her.

"Where is he." She asked.

"Dead." I replied. I continued to walk past her, then I jumped down the cliff.

What now...

~Keyshia~

Arisawa left, I feel Hanabi in the cave. Lightning is dead... that's not something I thought I would ever hear. I heard footsteps behind me.

"I truly apologize." I heard Inyu's voice.

"You're bold showing your face around me." I said fighting back tears.

"I had to make it look like I was on their side, it was you or Lightning. As much as I would have loved for it to be you who would have died, since Lightning is a great ally, it had to be Lightning. Only because you're more understanding." Inyu said. "I don't expect you to forgive me. However our real enemies as of right now are Kalona and Kimnasha. Take your revenge on me after we do away with them both."

"I need some time to mourn and get mentally prepared to talk to you Inyu, Lightning is dead because of you, I'm sorry I can't just sit here and exactly join you. I advise you to leave the area before Hanabi senses that you're here, she's not me and will definitely kill you." I said as tears began to roll down my cheeks. My heart hurts, I cannot explain the feeling but I want to die.

Inyu nodded then disappeared. Hanabi walked to the entrance of the cave, her eyes looked distant. Her face is half red from crying.

"Hanabi?" I said.

She didn't say a word, didn't even look at me. She walked to the cliff then she jumped down. I saw her jump from tree to tree heading towards Black City.

We lost this war badly, and it hasn't even begun, the forces of hell are going to war with our Earth, while our Earth is having a civil war. We lost Lightning, Kimmy, Asis, Tokine, and Main City. Most important Bad Striker's is broken.
