CronoOver

-There was one place that was darker than every other and that was in the middle of the OverWorld, there was no particular reason why it was dark but in that darkness resided one person, and that was the person who trapped Rin and all others here, the "G.o.d" of time, Hora.

-Sitting on a throne unlike the one when they were transported here this one was even bigger and in good condition, still made out of the sand of time that was making the ground in this place. Not to mention the person sitting on top of it was no other then Hora, with eyes that looked as if they would pop out from boredom they suddenly widened and a small smirk could be seen on his face.

"So you arrived," he said to the person in front of him, while he slowly proceeded to stand up from his oversized throne.

-Slowly lowering his hand down the sand that was underneath his feet slowly started to decay and lowered Hora to the ground safely.

"It took you five years to make it this far, you spend that time fighting and learning how to use your sera, I do hope you don"t disappoint me." Covered in black robes all over his body his skin could not be seen, everything but his face that is, his face that had an appearance of a young boy in his teens, with long black hair riching his b.u.t.t, and a small pair of eyelashes, they were to say cute.

-Because of the darkness in this place Hora couldn"t properly see the face of his opponent, "he" also didn"t say a single word towards the young G.o.d, as he just slowly approached him, and then when they came to a certain distance a voice could be heard from the person.

"Turn him nothing, Kanashimi."

-As he approached Hora a light could be seen, no not a light it was more like a fire, yes a dark purple fire came out of him in a shape of a phoenix who slapped his wings and he slowly enters the person"s sword and turned it into a small line that could be barely visible at all.

"Oho, let"s see what you have in stored."

-Without any time to waste three waves of purple energy came out of the ground in Horas direction, he could see that coming and simply moved aside avoiding each attack, while simply replying "Is that all" But that wasn"t even the beginning, the person who was standing in the darkness disappeared and silence overtook the OverWorld until he just suddenly appeared above him with his sword prepared to strike, his head as the target. he struck without hesitation.

-He bent over, Avoiding the attack once again, Rin who was standing in front of him,

his body covered in scars and red blood still dripping out of his wounds, onto the sand.

His face not displaying any emotion, eye dead as he stared at Hora with emotion he could not understand he looked just like he didn"t care anymore, but that was not the case he did care, he cared about killing Hora and leaving this place dead or alive.

"Phoenix burst," Rin said while he sw.a.n.g his sword towards Hora who was right in front of him, while he did it, a small line started leaving its mark in the sky and before long it started exploding.

-Hora who could see what was about to happen, before it could happen jumped backward and avoided the attack.

"I guess fighting without a weapon Would be foolish." He put one finger of his hand in the air and from the sand under him a spear double the size of Hora appeared, it was long and sharp with its knife going from thick to fin.

"This should do just fine." He said while preforming some acrobatic stuns with the spear, Rin didn"t give him any more time and he once again disappeared from Hora"s site leaving him to take a stance and prepare for Rins next attack.

-Some time pa.s.sed but nothing happened, Hora who was surprised used his perfect stance and asked himself "Why isn"t he attacking?" and at that moment from the darkness above him, he noticed a purple fire approaching him it would be better described as a fireball or a meteorite invoked in purple fire and behind it there was Rin, falling from the sky still wearing a dead expression on his face.

"d.a.m.n, so that was his plan, pretty smart, but not smart enough."

-Hora who even if he tried couldn"t avoid the meteorite by running, so he simply put his right hand up in the sky towards the attack that was aimed at him and simply said "Return to the ashes of time" And the meteorite which was coming closer and closer to him started slowly turning into the fire from which it was created becoming smaller and smaller while bursting into nothing while reaching him.

-Seeing that site, Rin who was still falling pulled his sword Kanashimi in front of him and using all his might starts rotating and the edge of his sword creating the pattern in the sky as he rotated making an unknown shape, until finally, before hitting the ground he yelled.

"Burst."

-While saying that word, the lines in the sky left as he was falling burst into flames while rotating and starting moving like a wild animal. The ma.s.sive tornado Rin created started moving Towards Hora"s direction like it knew who"s its opponent was.

"Another huge one, ha?" Not responding to Hora"s comment Rin simply kept moving while preparing for his next attack, he once again took his blade in front of him and jumped into the air spinning, while once again creating those swirls from before, but this time they were sideways.

"Burst." Once more the swirls in the air lit a flame, and turned into a tunnel of flames heading towards Hora just like the tornado created a few seconds ago.

"d.a.m.n it."

-Hora"s face slowly turned worried but not because of the ma.s.sive tornadoes in front of him, he was worried about something else completely.

"He"s using too much energy, at this rate he won"t have any left." He was worried that this battle witch he was waiting for five years to come will end because of little brats unreasonable judgments, "Tsk, how stupid."

"There is no point in doing huge scale attacks like this." He then put each hand towards each of the headed tornadoes and as they were getting closer and closer to him they simply turned back to thin strings and vanished into nothing, "Did that make you understand that those..."

-Before he could even finish his sentence to the end he turned around to where Rin was only to find a Bird no, a Phoenix double the size of the tornadoes heading towards him. A vain slowly popped out of Hora"s childlike forehead and in anger, he yelled, "You fool." As he turned the phoenix behind him into nothing.

-From the flames of the destroyed Phoenix Rin rushed at Hora and with a swift slice aimed at his head but utterly he failed.

But that didn"t stop him, he put one leg in front of the other and turned around swinging his sword in Hora"s direction, once more but this time with even more force.

Hora who saw Rin"s attack coming jumped back and picked up his spear which he dropped while deflecting the double tornadoes.

-He displayed incredible skill with the spear while he took his stance, waiting for the attack that came shortly after he took the stance. The sword slices were moving up and down, left and right, they weren"t just random movement, no each one of them was specifically aimed at a certain body part on Hora"s body, not to say he avoided all of them. Jumping back words after clashing for a short while, Rin once again rushed into close combat not giving Hora any time to rest, at least that is what he was thinking.

-Rin"s body is in far worst condition then hora"s is, so resting for a bit would be good for him right now, but he didn"t care about his body right now, the only thing in front of him was Hora or better the wall which stood in front of him and home.

"From these attacks, I a.s.sume that you already used up all of your energy and now you are fighting me with only your skills," Hora said those words to his opponent while defending himself from his attack and striking back.

-Dodging the spear attack while jumping back Rin didn"t know how to counter them because he never fought anyone who used a spear "What great luck." he told himself.

-And not to forget that he was also right, Rin did use up all of his stored up energy in that last attack, he hoped it would take him by surprise and he could kill him while he destroyed the phoenix, not knowing what to do right now Rin started running around Hora while thinking of a strategy.

"How annoying, that look of yours." Hora who was annoyed with the look in Rin"s eye slowly puts his spear behind his head holding it with his hands and starts spinning each time increasing the diameter of the spears reach.

-Rin instantly stopped running and jumped back a few meters going out of hora"s reach, but that didn"t stop him from attacking Rin. He simply realised his spear, when in Rin"s site and it went flying, missing his mark Rin managed to escape it but just barely.

-When he looked back at Hora he was holding the spear he just fired in his hands, confused Rin looks back behind him where the spear went flying but it wasn"t there.

"Im getting bored, this isn"t much fun and that look of yours seriously p.i.s.ses me off, here let me help you fix it." While hora just vanished in front of Rin"s eyes, he turned around looking for him but when he closed his eye to blink all he could see was darkness, his one good eye impaled by Hora"s long finger.

-Screams could be heard all through the OverWorld as Rin was screaming in sorrow.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

"Now let"s finish this." He took his other free hand and shoved it into Rins right side of the chest, blood gushing out he didn"t want to remove his hand because he wanted to listen to Rin"s screams a little while more.

"Even after coming this far your still unable to kill me, and after all, you sacrificed so much to come here. Tell me how does it feel?"

"Go...toooo...h.e.l.l..."

"Hahahahahah, spicy until the bitter end ah, too bad."

"cough...Cough...tell me...one last thing before I die...what was the point of this game?"

"The point, huh, there are things that you can"t currently comprehend in that world of yours, things are changing and it"s time for a New Era to come."

"...New...Era...?"

"There"s no point in explaining it to a dead man, now is there."

"Hun...I...guess your...right...cough."

"hahaha, of course, I am." lowering his guard at that precise moment Rin smirked as he was waiting for this opportunity.

"Too bad...I"m not dead."

"Star destruction." he yald as he opened his other eye witch was cut by Vladimir and from within it a ma.s.sive ball of energy comes gushing out, hitting Hora and destroying half of his body.

-Slowly falling to the ground Rin"s brain goes back in time to a few hours ago.

-Standing In front of him there was his friend, Alexander who was sitting on the ground while lying on the rock all bloodied, his eyes closed and above him, a ma.s.sive ball of energy was levitating in the air. It was so big that it easily took half of the s.p.a.ce of The OverWorld, Rin teary eyed rushes straight to Alexanders side, took him gently into his arm and put his head on his chest listening for a hope of a heartbeat, the silence that overtook the area suddenly disappeared with a silent sound of a heartbeat.

"Alexander, why? didn"t you say that we would survive this so why?"

"Rin? Is that you? Im sorry...but I can bearly hear...and all I can see is darkness, this...is my last gift for you, take it...when I was...still a farmers boy...I would spend my nights...looking in the sky...in those things...called stars...so I made one so you could see it."

"Alexander?" Rin"s tears were pouring out of his face like a waterfall, he didn"t even care how he looked, all he could think about was "Why would you leave me?" and "Didn"t you say we would survive this and return home?" The tears just continued to pour out more and more, and then he got his answer.

"I was truly happy...to...have you" Alexander who was being embraced by Rin couldn"t keed it in anymore, as he started saying his final goodbyes to him his tears started pouring out.

"To have...you call me...your friend."

"It"s bin so long...drip, drip, drip...It"s binn so long since someone called me that...drip, drip, drip, but...I don"t want...I don"t want to return, drip, drip, drip, I don"t want to return there, to those dark lonely times, drip, drip, I don"t want to go back to the darkness, if... if that"s how it"s supposed to be for me then I... I would rather die."

-Listening to his wards all Rin could do is grip Alexander tightly as he cried his filing out, he felt anger towards those who hurt his best friend and sadness towards his best friend, he was in a loss forwards not knowing what could make him happy.

"Are you...are you still here...Rin? Rin?" His hearing finally gave in at that moment and he neither heard or saw anything, his body slowly started to turn cold.

"I"M HERE, don"t worry I won"t leave you, ?"

"I"m sorry for leaving you like this, but never... never do the same as me... I beg of you...please for me never take your own life...can you promise me this as my last...last request."

"Drip, drip, drip." his eyes stopped producing the water that was coming out of his eyes, the sand under him had already turned to water.

"That, That might be hard, but as your final wish I guess I can respect it."

"..." Just as he knew Rin was going to say yes, he replied with a then you, maybe he meant for it to be a thank you for being my friend or maybe a thank you for saying that.

-And so Alexander"s dead body, cold and heartbeat less Rin slowly put back down onto the ground, while still crying he started digging a hole in the sand next to himself. without a shovel he used his hand, after a while he dug out a huge hole twice the size of himself, he took Alexanders cold body and places it inside while putting the sand back onto him, while he was doing that Rin was praying, the only prayers he knew were the ones his mom taught him he never thought they would come in useful but now he was glad he learned them.

-Right after that with his eye turned dead he stood up from the ground a picked up Alexanders sword that was next to the rock his body was laying before, why he took it? well, he wanted to have something that would always remind him of him. Then he went forward towards the ma.s.sive star that was in front of him, with one hand he opened his closed and blinded eye and absorbed the star into it.

-With that done we slowly made his way towards the center of The OverWorld, with one objective in his mind and thas is to kill that thing. As he made his way from the grave he left Zerra with Alexander as a way of saying "Here a part of me will always be by your side."

"Ha...ha...ha...haha."

I guess this is the end of the road for me, guess we will meet sooner than expected my friend.

"That was unexpected, to give up your eye and body to have a chance for a close-range arrack like that one, quite brave."

-The voice he heard, he couldn"t believe it, I seemed Hora was alright, thinking that he missed with his attack Rin felt even more sorry for himself.

"I guess you"re not as stupid as I thought you were, knowing you don"t stand a chance against me you went with a double suicide, huh I give, you got me, Im impressed."

"cough, cough, wha...ar...yuu..." Rin struggled to say his words every time he did he caught up blood from his mouth.

"Wow, relax now and keep quiet if you don"t want to die, all thou you didn"t kill me I admire your gut"s so I"ll return you to earth but the place you will return may not be the same as you remember it, and you better pray that someone finds you, at this stage your currently in you won"t live for long, well good luck."

-With his words said Hora opened something that sounded like a whirlwind to Rin, while it slowly picked him up he took a hold of his sword which he didn"t want to leave here.

Is this true, am I going home finally, huh, guess I don"t have that anymore.

-The picture of his dead parents popped into his head while thinking of those words.

But I also don"t have...

-As Alexander poped into his mind.

-Then sometime in the afternoon under a bridge that was in a certain park in London, flowing down the stream of red water a body was there, swimming in the watercolored with his own blood Rin had finally managed to return home.

"Now, just one last thing left to do," Hora said while looking in the distance.
