Tatsuya...You have
sinned yet again. You not only let Maya down, you have failed
your own brother as well. You deserve to die. DIE
TATSUYA!!!
"AHH!!" Tatsuya woke up screaming. He
held his head in pain before looking around. He was now in a
brand new place again, a place which seemed like a castle.
"Where do you think we are, Katsuya? Katsuya? Katsuya?
Where are you Katsuya???" Tatsuya shouted frantically. He
remembered letting Katsuya rest in a building in the glass
city before he himself dozed off. But now, his brother was no
where to be seen.
Tatsuya pushed the gate of the
castle and got inside. The place was dark with lots of stairs,
leading to places where Tatsuya cannot see. A place that look
completely like a maze... But, Katsuya was no where to be seen
either. Tatsuya began to panic.
"The dream...don't
tell me the dream was real!"
Tatsuya vividly
remembered the voice in his dreams. It said that he had failed
Katsuya. Was it real? Or was it just a dream? Tatsuya could
not be sure.
"Katsuya...brother... Maya, had I failed
again? Had I failed to protect my love ones again??"
"Yes, Tatsuya. You have fail again. You have once
again broken your promise..."
"Who's that??" Tatsuya
turned and was in shock. Standing before was his three
friends, Lisa, Eikichi and Jun. All three of them were his
companions whom had helped him and Maya to hunt down the Joker
and saved the world.
"Eikichi...Lisa...Jun! Why...why
are you all here??" Tatsuya cried out.
"You have
broken your promise, Tatsuya. You promise to protect Maya, but
you let her die in your own hands. You promise to protect your
brother, but where is Katsuya now? You have sinned, Tatsuya.
You deserved to be punished." Jun, Tatsuya's best friend who
was once a boy under the influence of Joker said to Tatsuya.
"This isn't fair...breaking your promise like that"
Lisa, the aspired singer, Tatsuya's classmate question
Tatsuya.
"That promise... It wasn't a lie, was it...?"
Eikichi, the boy from the band in the neighbouring school
said.
"You promise we will always be together,
Tatsuya!" The three of them cried out in unison.
Tatsuya was trapped. Never had he felt so helpless and
hopeless towards something at all. He was always a cool-minded
and matured boy. But now, he was totally trapped. The guilt of
losing his love ones before him was too great.
"Shouldn't you be punished, Tatsuya?" Jun asked,
drawing out Tatsuya's katana.
"Yes..."
"Shouldn't you receive your punishment for breaking
your promise?" Jun held the katana up above his head, aiming
for Tatsuya's neck.
"Yes..."
"Then...receive
your PUNISHMENT!" Jun exclaimed as he slashed down with
Tatsuya's katana.
Just then, the door opened and a
small looking kid wearing a big hat with eyes as bright as two
headlamps came in.
"H-h-hello? A-anyone there?"
Those words seemed like the spell which broke the
trance curse that was trapping Tatsuya. Tatsuya dogded before
the katana actually went down on his neck.
"S-s-sorry,
am I disturbing anything? I-I-I could come back later if y-you
guys want..."
"I shall be punished, but not now! I
must save Maya! I must save my brother!!" Tatsuya roared,
totally ignoring the boy's words. "I don't wish to fight the
three of you, so please, leave me to settle this alone!"
"You have grown strong, Tatsuya..." "We cannot
catch up with you anymore..." "We are nothing but
reflections of your heart..." "You made us out of your onw
guilt..." "You request your own death..." "But you
seemed to have understand what you want now, Tatsuya..."
"You don't seem to need us anymore..." "So I
guess...it's...time...to...say...goodbye..." "Be
strong...Tatsuya..."
"And...dun...be...lost...in...guilt...again..."
With that, the three of them vanished into thin air.
Tatsuya heaved a sigh of relief. He never knew his
guilt could be that great to create illusions of his friend.
But he had to thank the little boy for saving him from all
this illusion. If not for him, he may be dead by now.
"Hey, little fellow...thanks for saving me. My name's
Tatsuya. What's yours?"
"I-I-I am V-v-vivi. I didn't
really save you, s-so you don't have t-to thank me..." Vivi
replied, feeling a little embarrased and confused for he did
not really did anything to help this young man there.
"It's good enough, Vivi. You saved my life." Tatsuya
said and smiled. "This place looks dangerous. Want to travel
together?" ---
