legion-vanguard:
blaster-aichi:
He’d tagged along for moral support; for the sake of seeking answers to unsolved questions. To ensure this entire fiasco would finally reach it’s conclusion.
Lingering close to Kai’s form, he’d been hesitant to depart, even when that deck be produced. The brunet had endured such a lengthy trial, wracking his brains about how to resolve it all without finding himself faced with that repeated cycle of which he and his partner had become the latest victims of.
Grasping the sleeve of the older, azure optics wandered from his duplicate to the saviour; there was no doubt in his mind– it had to end here. Hadn’t it? Kai would find a means by which to break the cycle, to shatter the coils of the chain which held their predecessors hostage.
Not that he’d yet learned the truth. Somewhere deep inside of him, to be faced with Legion finally, his stomach turned over.
“Kai-kun… are you sure it’ll be alright? Just the two of us?”
He’d refrained from letting his own know they were venturing to the palace; not daring to put him through the panic that others like him had. For all the disappearances, Legion alone stood within the structure, his knights all to support him.
But still… something felt wrong. So very wrong. “I’ll stay with you no matter what happens. We’ll get out of here together”.
So long had he been awaiting what would be the final nail in the coffin for this cycle; where memories of the previous ended and this would begin. Kai was always the end-goal; the signal that the next wave was to begin anew. And how generous of him to escort the new vessel; to spread like a disease between rotting bodies.
“I’ve been waiting for you”. Words directed towards the brunet, but applicable to both. The hint of a smirk might have tugged at the corner of his lips, contained in the mean time. Void had no feelings to exert - human sensations were but a distraction.
Within him; a myriad of such feelings might race from the core’s seeing his partner in the first time since their arrival within the next plane. Something which might be quashed quickly for the sake of retaining that stoic composure.
From the pocket of the grand coat, the Link Joker deck fashioned after his own would be produced, following Kai’s unsheathed sword, and presented in opposition. “You are aware this is where it all ends, are you not?
You shall remain here once you’ve been consumed by the force which pushed you over the edge once previously, which ignited this chain of events. And the boy beside you, you’re aware of his fate…
Plan your escapes, but neither of you will leave”.
A reassuring glance was cast towards the other beside him, clinging onto his sleeve as if life depended on it. There was no way Kai would let anything happen to him. It didn’t matter that it wasn’t his own, he’d still protect the younger boy.
“It’s fine. I promise.”
Attention turning back towards the one in front of them now.
“I don’t care what you think will happen here. But, I’m going to make sure it ends well for us.”
His voice sounding so sure, so confident. As if to reinforce his words and promise to save Aichi. And he would. Kai wouldn’t lose now. He couldn’t. Everything depended on this win. His future with Aichi, their friends, Aichi’s family... they all needed him. So much. You could even say he was their rock. Every single one of them. The blue haired was the one thing that held everyone together, tried to keep them safe from anything bad. And he saved the brunet from doing something he would regret.
“Today... right now... I’m going to save you!”
The free hand moved and placed upon the mirror of his own, firmly grasping his shoulder, but only for emphasis on his next statement.
“I have all the help I need to ensure my victory over you! It’s time to come home!”
As the transparent fight tables appeared, the brunet wasted no time in placing his deck down, ready to fight to bring back what he had lost before. More than once. This time... would be different. Permanent. Aichi would be coming home. Definitely. Nothing would stop it. Not even this brief stall.
