Noxious lifter her up and removed the shard of Scythe from the vessels body. He smiled and looked at her hand, "you know what the best part of all of this? I feel non of this... All the perks of being alive without the pain of a regular person. How amazing!" He said tossing the piece aside, he dropped her scythe while eyeing Kaiden.
"Tell me, pansy, what are you willing to do to stop me?! COME, SHOW ME!" He said dashing forward, he contested Kaiden and managed to hit him heavily in the chest. Kaiden slid back, grunting at the damage.
Pest dashed forward and Noxious chuckled, "Yes! Let's all dance!" He said clotheslining Pest quicker than he could react. This hit managed to get Pests mask busting the filter. He screamed as he hit the ground, fumbling to try and stabilize the pressure. Noxious had ideas flowing through his head. He stepped a few feet and as Pest turned to him, he sent Nuriko shin into Pests lower jaw. Cracking the mask in the middle. Aniko screamed as Pest flew a few feet away from her. He wasn't moving, yet she could here him trying to breath.
She ran to his side, cupping the mask to hold it together as best she could, the filter managed to just be knocked loose. His breathing was stablizing and she began to tear up. "Kaiden! I can't leave him! Please! STOP HER!" she screamed taking Pests hand. Kaiden breathed heavily and began to stretch his arms. "You know how to fight hand-to-hand right? Of course you do. You always have." Kaiden said to the being. Noxious laughed, summoning a copy of the Black Blade. Kaiden growled and then managed to summon the true Blade. They dashed at one another clashing the blades, energy seeped from their bodies, making the new zone heavy.
"Ha! This will end the way I always wanted it to! ME CUTTING YOU DOWN WHILE SHE WATCHES!" he said as he setup a swing, Kaiden noticed an opening in his attack. He shut his eyes, "...Nuriko, please... Forgive me..." he whispered, before thrusting the blade in her gut. Noxious grunted at the blade entering his vessel, "W-What?! Why would you...!?" he said before Kaiden put his foot on the wound and kicking her off of the blade.
"YOU ARE NOT NURIKO! THIS IS HOW YOU WILL FAIL!" he shouted dashing forward, the sword collided again. Noxious grinned, feeling proud of his blocking techniques. Then, as soon as he grinned, the blade snapped in two. His reaction was that of fear, "You... how are you doing this!?" he said as Kaiden slammed the hilt of the blade into Nuriko's face, turning her around. As swiflty as he could, he turned his own body around and placed the blade at his gut. Kaiden began to tear up, as he and his love were back to back. He knew the blade was the last thing able to stop Noxious, but, it needed contact with him. The last moments were setup. The final blow went through Kaiden, into Nuriko's back. Kaiden stood there not able to move, but, he pushed out a final breath of words.
"Possa il nostro futuro essere brillante, insieme per sempre ..."

Nuriko was suddenly forced into control of her body, the pain racking her body. Tears formed in her eyes, but she smiled slightly. The only thing keeping her standing was the fact that her was leaning on Kaiden. She could feel Noxious's corruption leaving her, escaping out into the open. Grunting in pain as she moved, she raised a piece of her scythe.
"Insieme per sempre..." then tossed the piece right into the cloud of energy that was Noxious. It shone with an odd silvery light, then absorbed the essence of Noxious. The crystal turned black, but held him inside. Nuriko coughed up a decent amount of blood as she removed herself from Kaidens sword, pushing it out of him at the same time. Tears still falling down her cheeks, she turned herself and embraced Kaiden, using her abilities to heal most of the major damage done to Kaiden. Then she collapsed backwards into the ground, out cold.

Kaiden awoke to see pest kneeled over him. His mask had been tied to his face with what looked like a woman's blouse. "You alright?" he said grappling Kaidens forearm and lifting him up. Kaiden nodded and sat up, "Where is she?"" he said looking around. He looked a few feet away to see Aniko, shirtless, with Nuriko. Her wounds were minor and it made his at ease. "How did her wounds...?" he said looking down at Aniko. She was covering her chest, and her face was red. "ITs best to say that I worked a little hard to make sure people survived. Can you look away please?" she said turning slightly. Pest rolled his eyes, "Your fault for going Bra-less and then giving me your shirt..." he said tightening it, She looked at him and scoffed.
"I should have let you choke..." she said as he tossed her shirt to her. "Get dressed crybaby..." he said his eyes, tearing up. She looked at him and put her shirt on quickly, after it slipped on she began to tear up too. "Guys... Is it over?" she said sniffing. Kaiden had a happy look in his eyes and he smiled, "Yeah, I think it is..." he said gripping Nuriko's hand. As he did, a loud whine rang through the meadow. The group looked up, a nearby hill covered in the moonlight. Stood there was a metallic being, watching them. Kaiden stood up, smiling.
"Thank you... Go home..." he said, as he did, the being screeched sadly continuously. It stopped moments later, and the being began to walk away, before shifting to thin air. Pest shut his eyes and lowered his head, Aniko began to cry. Kaiden, smiled and teared up.
"Thanks Tori, we will miss you... and thanks for saying good-bye Parshath..."

It was the whine that woke her up. As he said his goodbyes, she opened her eyes, gazing off silently into the moonlight, watching Parshath. She took a deep breath, her body still quite sore. She wasn't entirely sure if she should move, but her back felt intact. She saw Kaiden standing next to her and tears formed in her eyes. She gingerly reached her arm up and tried reaching his hand, but she could only manage to graze her fingers against his before her arm collapsed back onto the ground. She laughed a little.
"Call me a wimp, but i'm pretty sure getting hit by a truck wouldn't hurt this badly..." she said, smiling at the fact that she could still find humor in the small things.

Kaiden knelnt down to her side and smiled softly, his eyes, slightly dark. "Yeah, but, a truck would at least TRY to avoid you..." he said taking her hand, holding it close. He kissed her forehead and then picked her up slowly. "Lets go... Home..." he said as everyone started walking with him. They reached the Diabound cave moments later, the twins and Placid had made their way back almost an hour earlier and took Nuriko and placed her in Sanya's bed. Kaiden looked at his father, who was leaning against the wall nearby. His cigarette was lit, smoke flowing around the cave. Sanya began collecting rags while Willow tended to Nuriko's wounds. He huffed a puff of smoke and he looked among the group. He felt the energy of Noxious, but, it was small.
"Well... I would say what you all did... wasn't any small task." he said keeping his distance. "What have you all done with him?" he said looking at Kaiden. His son looked calm, which was a bit different than he was used to. Kaiden pulled the shard from his back pocket, placing it on the table in front of Diabound. His face wasn't happy, proud, or even ecstatic. He looked angrily at his father and folded his arms.
"Dr.... Uh... Dad..." he began looking away. He then shook his head, then stared at his father and sighed. "Dad... Go to hell." he said turning his back on the Dr. Diabound huffed another puff of smoke, then smiled. "Kaiden... I... I am proud of you." he said walking to the table and picking the shard up and examining it.
"Well, you lost again... How does it feel...?"

Nuriko chuckled, smiling softly as he kissed her forehead and picked her up. "Couldn't be helped. You did wonderfully. I'm so proud of you..." She smiled, closing her eyes and resting her head against his chest as he carried her to Diabounds cave. She wasn't looking forward to having to tell the family what happened to Tori. But for the moment, she decided to rest a little. So she remained quiet for the duration of the trip. Though she found Kaidens interactions with Diabound to be incredibly amusing, she smiled as she looked up at Kaiden again, reaching out for his hand as Willow and Sanya worked on cleaning up her wounds. Then she saw Placid, and a sadness fell over her face. She couldn't bring herself to mention what had happened. She closed her eyes, turning her head up toward the ceiling of the cave, tears falling down her cheeks.

Placid sat at the table looking at the shard that held Noxious. He rose an eyebrow and as Diabound picked it up he looked perplexed. He looked at Nuriko's tears and he sighed. He stood up and shook his head. "All this sincerity is making me neasious." He said going outside. He stood there, looking at the moon and then he looked down at his arm, it glowed lightly and became metallic. He looked up again and sighed looking sad.
"I'll take care of him... you idiot..."
----------
Willow kept Nuriko down while Sanya worked. "Your wounds aren't bad... but, we will need to ensure there isn't any damage to organs. Willow, hold her tight." She said Willow nodded and her arms turned to stone. "Nuri, I am going to count to three, then you are going to feel VERY uncomfortable pain." Her arm turned into a light blue liquid and it flowed freely. "Ok, on three." She moved the liquid to the wound and began. "ONE!" She shouted as the liquid entered the wound and traveled inside her. The liquid was shocking, sending signals to Sanya in case of organ failure. As it moved she became nervous. Her face became saddened and worried.
"Oh... oh my..." She said shaking, looking at Willow slightly scared. "I... I found something..." She said removing the liquid. She sat there, quietly, trying to figure out what to say. Willow removed herself from Nuriko, and stood straight.
"Nuriko... I... Your wounds they... They arent... Oh man..." She said starting to rock back in forth. Willow sighed, flicking her nose. "Speak." She said folding her arms. Sanya had her head lowered. She looked into Nuriko's eyes. She sighed sadly and spoke.
"Nuriko... your organs sustained damage that we can mend, it appears your uterus was pierced in a way that the healing mended it wrong. You... can't bare children anymore as a result.."

Nuriko chucked when they mentioned possible organ damage. "Possible organ damage? Lets see, I got exploded on, Punched in the face a few times, and a giant sword through my middle... twice." Nuriko blinked for a second. "I probably shouldn't be joking about this... Maybe I broke my brain while I was at it..." When Sanya started working she shut up, closing her eyes. Nuriko winced slightly as they worked. She was already in enough pain as it was, but she tolerated it. She was sure there would have been much more squirming had it not been for the weight holding her down. But when Sanya finished she looked worried. She listened to her explanation, then blinked. Then she looked between the two twins, smiling sadly.
"I think in my current situation, having any more kids is the LEAST of my worries. Plus... " she looked up at the ceiling. "Angels are durable. Mihari was told that shed never have kids again, and look at her. About to give birth to Placids 3rd evil offspring. And shes human. A special human, but still." She sighed. "Unless someone else on this godforsaken island can put up with my bullshit, I don't think it will be an issue." She mumbled, looking at broken hand.

Kaiden sighed at his sisters words. He sat next to Nuriko and took her hand. He knew to her it was a form of defense to joke in times of grief to protect herself, but, he could tell she was still a bit worried. When she mentioned Mihai, he smiled. She was special, that's what she got at. He kissed her cheek, which was bruised.
"You are such a goof..."

"But i'm..." she stopped mid-sentence and blushed like crazy, which looked really funny with bruises on her face. She shook her head, deciding not to finish it. Then she looked up at Kaiden, sticking her tongue out at him, which made her face hurt.
"Ow... ow... ok, I won't do that anymore." she chuckled, in spite of herself. "I really need to stop getting myself beaten up. It would be nice to come over to visit without requiring medical aid for something or other."

Willow rolled her eyes and grabbed Kaiden by his collar, dragging him away. "You and I need to speak. Sanya, come." She said causing Sanya to jump. They all walked outside making Placid look to them and walk back inside.
"What happened Kaiden? Tori... is he?" Willow said giving him a weird look. Sanya looked genuinely concerned as well. He looked at them both and hugged them both. "You two are my sisters, so, I can't and wouldn't lie..." He said explaining to them what happened. Sanya shook her head while Willow stayed silent. Kaiden walked back in, leaving them alone. Placid had made his way to the chair nearby her bed.
"I feel his absence..." He said, talking about Tori. "How do you feel about it all?"

Nuriko watched as Placid came in and sat next to her. She knew he was gonna ask about Tori. After he asked his question, she took a deep breath, looking at him sadly.
"Not entirely sure. Dead? Sad? Both? I've never been very good with this whole emotion thing. I mean, yeah, we were having issues, which were mostly my fault, but I still cared about him. Even when he disappeared for all those years, I missed him, in a way, but I never cried about it. It's wierd now." She raised her hand, putting it to her head. "I mean, he was my significant other, and I did care about him for all those years. It wasn't like there was NOTHING there... It just felt like.. something was missing." she took a deep breath. "I don't think I can cry about it anymore, at least not for a bit. It's going to be hard to have to explain this to Hana and Kazuma. Akira is young enough to be able to adapt. But..." she looked up at the ceiling again. "I'm pretty sure his mother is going to kill me."

Days had passed since Tori sacrificed himself to ensure Nuriko would conquer Noxious. His mother had been informed of his feat, her right hand explaining to her what he did. She broke down in tears, screaming. Hours had passed since she melted down, Tori's father stayed nearby, keeping her company. She held in her arm her sword, and she was gripping it tightly. She began to tense up as she was thinking of Nuriko and her pain. The pain that child went through, her mindless torture. It all fell to one person. Alana, the mother of Death. She shot up and her face was filled with hatred.
"I'm going out. I need to see someone." She said gripping her sword even tighter. She made her way into the Capital building and made her way through countless government offices until she reached the final stretch of room. It was a large room filled with angels working for Alana, all like slaves to ensure they kept her in a decent mood. Her secretary stood up and started to walk in front of Eiko.
"Madame Liwa, she's busy ple-!" She said as a blade ended up at her neck. "MOVE." She said her eyes filled with anger. The secretary raised her hands and backed away slowly, the room had fallen silent. Eiko slammed the doors off their henges and she walked into the office.
"ALANA! We need to speak!"
-----------------
The field that held the battle was green and flowing. The sky was partly cloudy, sun shining through clouds any chance it had. Kaiden stood as the top of the hill, where Parshath had that night, it overlooked the island and the town was miles away below. He smiled and then placed his bag down, inside were several tools and items. Hammer, nails, and a few other items. He sighed happily as he began to make a small cross, with it, a wooden plaque. It read, 'Even though Death was the beginning, you always found faith in her.'
He placed the cross in the dirt overlooking the town, then, nailed the plaque to it. He looked around and picked an ansemble of different island flowers, then placed them around the cross. He stood up and examined his work and nodded.
"There... all for you Tori..."

Alana looked up from her desk, her face completely blank. She could see how angry this woman was, and known to be a warrior, she thought it unwise to say anything that could set her off in her present condition.
"Eiko. My condolences about your son. I hear hes being celebrated as a hero." she gestured to a seat in front of her, very calmly. "What do you need?"
----------------------------------------------------------------
Nuriko woke up, looking around the cave. She had been staying at Diabounds cave while they looked after her to make sure her wounds were healing ok. She hadn't moved from the bed since. Adrianne had helped her change and clean up, so she was no longer covered in blood, but she was still quite bruised. Her broken arm was in a sling, her other was completely wrapped in bandages. She had a cut across her one cheek, while the other was still badly bruised. She very slowly moved herself into an upright position, as to not hurt herself too bad. She was surprised at the fact that she could move that much with minimal pain involved. She made an attempt to stand, and she realized that her one leg was still in a bit of pain. She looked around, not seeing anyone in the immediate vicinity. She took a deep breath as she started slowly and quietly limping her way out of the cave. She went very slow, as her balance was horrible with one limpy leg, and she could imagine trying to catch herself with two bandaged arms was a bad idea. But she had this sneaking suspicion that if she attempted to tell anyone her plans, they would insist on her staying in bed longer.
After about an hour of slow limping, she made her way to the cliff that her and Tori used to sit at alot. She took another deep breath, kneeling onto the grass. The wind blowing off the cliff was refreshing to her. At that moment, the sun came out, shining across the ocean. She smiled sadly, pulling the tip of her scythe out of a bag she had carried with her.
"I won't waste the chance you've given me, Tori. This is a chance for me to improve myself, and live the life you would have wanted me to. I will miss you."
She then stood herself back up, pulling her hair back, and using the shard of the scythe, cut her hair across her shoulderline. She stood there, holding almost 3-4 feet of hair in her hand. Then dropped the hair, the breeze carrying out out into the ocean. She took a deep breath, shaking her hair out. She didn't remember her head ever being that light, it was odd, yet oddly refreshing at the moment.

Eiko looked at her angry, yet, confused. "...You, you are going to allow me to use the portal to go to the island so I can see them. I WLL NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER." she said looking confused. What was she doing? She wasn't acting like her usual self. Anytime she took to make everyone suffer, she took it. Even more so when her own daughter was concerned. Eiko held the blade tightly as she pointed it at Alana.
"Why would you apologize for my loss...?"
--------------------------------------------------
Kaiden had been making his way to the cave when he noticed Nuriko sneaking off. He shook his head and sighed, knowing she was making her final amends with Tori. He followed behind her closely, yet, quietly. Once she reached the cliff he waited close behind her and he heard her spoke. When she cut her hair, it left him speechless. He hadn't been more proud of her than he was right now. Once the hair flowed through the wind he stepped forward. Taking her hand and standing there with her, he smiled.
"Your haircut looks good..." he said smiling at her. "Tori would be happy to see you like this." he kissed her hand and then turned to her. "So, speaking of Tori... How do you think his mom will take this...?" he said looking at her nervously. He jumped slightly when Diabound spoke, he had followed them both there, not even making a peep.
"Oh, she won't take it well at all. If she knows by now, I am sure she is fighting her way through the chain of command to get here. Knowing her, shes probably on her way ere now..."
