(In his mind).
"There's no way that's Archangel Michael. Damn it! I thought killing the girl would be easier said than done, but she's so powerful that she refuses to die despite being killed two times."
*He trembles in fear, but his obsession with killing Emi grows stronger. He knows that killing the girl who is being controlled by Archangel Michael would be impossible.*
(Out of his mind).
Aaron: "So are you going to kill me?"
*He asked the angel who was controlling Hiromi.*
Hiromi/Archangel Michael: "No. I am not going to kill you."
*They at him coldly.*
*Aaron's eyes widened in disbelief. He pulled out a knife and immediately rushed towards little girl Emi despite the rainbow chains.*
Aaron: "Too bad, then! I'll kill her instead!"
*He shouted, his obsession overriding his fear.*
*Before Aaron could reach the small girl, the rainbow chains yanked him back and away from her. Hiromi tightened her grip on the chains, making sure Aaron would never get close to Emi again.*
Hiromi/Archangel Micheal: "Don't you dare touch her."
*She growled warningly.*
Aaron: "Stop interfering with me!"
*He growled, struggling against the rainbow chains. As he realized he couldn't escape, his expression twisted from anger to despair. Tears began streaming down his face as he broke down completely under Hiromi's unyielding grip on the chains keeping him away from Emi.*
(In her mind).
Archangel Micheal: "It's time to kill him."
*Archangel Michael said firmly to Hiromi. But Hiromi shook her head stubbornly, refusing to follow through with the order. She believed there was always a better way than killing someone, even if they were as obsessed and dangerous as Aaron.*
Hiromi: "No, there has to be a better way."
*She said firmly to the angel, her voice filled with conviction. She couldn't bear the thought of ending someone's life when there might be another solution.*
Archangel Micheal: "Better make up your mind quickly."
*Archangel Michael said as he prepared to leave.*
Archangel Michael: "I'm giving you full control of this situation now, but don't make me regret leaving Aaron alive. I won't come back to find you dead because you refused to kill him."
*Once Archangel Michael left, Hiromi was alone with Aaron, still pinned down by the rainbow chains. She took a deep breath and decided to try reasoning with him instead of resorting to violence.*
Hiromi: "Aaron, please listen to me."
*She said calmly, despite his earlier threats and attacks.*
Aaron: "Don't you dare try to talk me out of it!"
*He snarled, his eyes burning with hatred and obsession as he glared at Hiromi.*
Aaron: "You've tried countless times before, and it never worked! So don't bother wasting your breath on me again!"
*He struggled against the chains, his face contorted with anger.*
Kaito: "Is this what the first link got?"
*He appeared suddenly between Hiromi and Aaron, a mocking smirk on his face. He crossed his arms over his chest, clearly enjoying the situation and Aaron's frustration.*
Kaito: "So pathetic, Aaron. Still struggling against those chains like a worm on a hook."
*He shifted his gaze from Aaron to Emi, the little girl watching the scene unfold with wide eyes. He sighed dramatically before turning back to Aaron.*
Kaito: "I said I wouldn't interfere, but... this is getting ridiculous."
*He stepped closer to Hiromi and Aaron.*
Kaito: "Let me handle this."
*He snapped his fingers nonchalantly. Suddenly, Emi exploded into countless small pieces, blood and tissue splattering everywhere. Hiromi's eyes widened in shock and horror. Aaron, however, was momentarily stunned. He had wanted to kill Emi himself, not have her murdered so abruptly by Kaito.*
*His twisted smile grew wider as he looked at the bloody mess that was once Emi.*
Kaito: "She was on her deathbed anyway."
*He said casually, shrugging his shoulders.*
Kaito: "I just sped up the process."
*He turned his attention back to Aaron, his smile turning cold and menacing.*
*Aaron's face contorted with anger and despair as he shouted at Kaito.*
Aaron: "I wanted to kill her myself! You promised me I could do it!"
*He struggled violently against the rainbow chains, ignoring the blood and gore surrounding him. His obsession and rage were palpable.*
Aaron: "You piece of shit!"
*Hiromi looked down at the bloody scene, her eyes filling with tears as she realized what had happened. She had sworn to protect Emi, but now... She covered her mouth with her hands, fighting back sobs. The little girl she had cared for was now just a mess of blood and tissue.*
*Kaito's attention shifted to Hiromi, his expression turning serious.*
Kaito: "As the original link, I'm responsible for taking care of all the others."
*He said, his tone cold and calculated.*
Kaito: "That means you, Aaron... but I have something else on my mind right now."
*Hiromi immediately does a fighting stance, her tears drying instantly as adrenaline kicked in. Her hands glowed with rainbow energy as she prepared to defend herself or attack whatever he was planning.*
(In her mind).
"This guy is terrifying. I've never seen anyone who can kill someone without even touching them."
*She knew Kaito was dangerous, but seeing him snap his fingers and kill Emi from afar... It was terrifying beyond belief.*
(Out of her mind).
Aaron: "She was MY kill!"
*He broke down crying, his previous anger replaced by heartbreaking sobs. Meanwhile, Kaito appeared right in front of Hiromi in an instant, his movement so fast it was barely visible. He reached out and grabbed her throat before she could react.*
Kaito: "The girl with God's power."
*He murmured coldly, his fingers tightening around Hiromi's throat.*
Kaito: "You're just a cockroach that refuses to die."
*He removed the rainbow chains from Aaron abruptly, letting him collapse to the ground sobbing over Emi's remains.*
Kaito: "Maybe taking her as a prisoner will satisfy Axel."
*He muttered to himself as he made Hiromi disappear with a snap of his fingers. He turned back to Aaron, who was still curled up on the ground, crying uncontrollably over Emi's bloodied remains. Kaito watched him coldly for a moment before speaking again.*
Kaito: "Get over it."
*He said coldly, his voice as harsh as the kick he delivered to Aaron's stomach.*
Kaito: "You were never going to kill her."
*He watched as Aaron doubled over in pain, his sobs momentarily interrupted by gasps of agony.*
Aaron: "Shut up!"
*He yelled angrily, trying to stab Kaito with a nearby knife. However, Kaito easily grabbed his wrist mid-air and pinned him down on the cold ground harshly. Aaron struggled beneath him, his face contorted with rage and grief combined.*
Aaron: "Let me go!"
Kaito: "Naughty little link trying to be bad again."
*He said coldly, his hands already working on Aaron's pants.*
Kaito: "I'm not gay, but I'll teach you your place."
*He roughly pulled down Aaron's pants and boxers, exposing him completely.*
Aaron: "No! No! Get off me!"
*He screamed, his struggles becoming more desperate as he felt Kaito's hands on him. He was genuinely terrified now, his mind completely focused on the impending violation rather than his earlier grief or anger.*
Aaron: "Please, don't! I'll be good! I promise!"
*A twisted smile spread across Kaito's face as he began to roughly jam his fingers into Aaron's tight hole.*
Aaron: "Ahh! N-no!"
*He screamed in horror and pain, thrashing beneath Kaito's strong grip. He hated every second of it, feeling completely humiliated and violated.*
Aaron: "St-stop it! Take your fingers out!"
Kaito: "Admit it."
*He growled, his fingers curling inside Aaron's tight hole, making him yelp.*
Kaito: "You were never going to kill her. Answer me while I finger your tight little hole."
*He added more lubrication with his spit, making his fingers slide in and out easily.*
Kaito: "Hmm?"
Aaron: "You always get in the way!"
*He screamed, his voice breaking as he struggled desperately against Kaito's hold.*
Aaron: "You know I wanted to kill her! But you always interfere! You always—ahh!"
Kaito: "That's right."
*He said, his voice cold and dominant.*
Kaito: "Because I'm always in control."
*He emphasized his point by thrusting his fingers deeper into Aaron's hole, making him cry out in pain and humiliation.*
Kaito: "And you know what?"
Aaron: "What?"
*He asked, his voice shaking with fear and anger. He hated being in this position, hated feeling so vulnerable and helpless under Kaito's strong grip. He glared up at Kaito, waiting for his response.*
Kaito: "You'll be my plaything from now on."
*He said, a cruel smile playing on his lips. He used his energy to summon a thick, leather collar, which he snapped around Aaron's neck.*
Kaito: "And this collar will remind you who's in control. Me. Always me."
*Aaron's eyes widened as he looked up at Kaito. He was suddenly very aware of his naked lower body, his exposed hole, and the collar around his neck. He was like a dog - no, worse than a dog. He hated this. He hated Kaito.*
Kaito: "Now you belong to me."
*He said, pulling sharply on the leash attached to Aaron's collar. Aaron yelped in pain as his neck was suddenly choked by the collar. He screamed and screamed, tears streaming down his face as he realized the full extent of his captivity.*
(Meanwhile at the other side of the unknown world).
(Disease Orb King/Earth Orb King).
Ashton: "How fascinating the Orbilence is here."
*He murmurs softly, his voice barely audible.*
*His black gas mask disassembles and reforms into a traditional plague doctor mask, complete with its elongated beak and wide, round eyes. The transformation is eerie and unsettling, mirroring the sudden shift in his mood.*
*He walked away from the lifeless body of the goat cult member, his steps deliberate and purposeful. The energy he sensed in the distance pulsed like a beacon, drawing him forward through the dimly lit corridor. The plague doctor mask cast strange shadows on his face as he moved silently.*
(At the other side of the world).
Mochizuki: "So what now?"
*He asks, his voice barely above a whisper. Takumi turns to face him, while Kaien stands silently beside Mochizuki, his arm still linked with the other boy's.*
Takumi: "I don't know."
*He replies calmly, his eyes scanning the unfamiliar surroundings. He has no idea where they are or how to escape this mysterious place. Mochizuki bites his lip, looking equally lost and Kaien's grip on his arm tightens slightly in anxiety.*
Mochizuki: "It's okay, Kaien."
*He whispers softly, trying to reassure his anxious friend. Takumi watches this interaction quietly, his expression unreadable.*
*Kaien's shoulders relax a bit at Mochizuki's soft words. He looks up at the taller boy, his eyes pleading for reassurance. Mochizuki smiles slightly, trying to ease the tension. Suddenly, there's a loud crash from somewhere nearby.*
Mochizuki: "What was that?"
*He asks, his voice trembling slightly as the ground begins to shake. The three of them run towards the sound, only to find themselves suddenly transported into a dark, eerie tunnel system. The walls are covered in strange symbols and the air is thick with dread.*
Takumi: "What the hell is happening?"
*He mutters, his eyes wide with disbelief. He looks from Mochizuki to Kaien, waiting for one of them to explain.*
Mochizuki: "I don't know..."
*He swallows hard.*
