” … I can’t run from it Kano … even if I desired to … but you should … leave now … “
As if refusing to even look at anyone, her eyes shut themselves while hearing out his desperate cries of having her escape. There’s nothing he could have done … the clock was ticking. He had to leave now and try to complete the mission before he loses this fight. Would her death be in vain? Perhaps not. It was merely fate that this was her time to decease her existence fully. Before any other words could be said, her eyes revealed themselves when being grasped by a tentacle. No this wasn’t one … it felt too sharp.Even her mouth finally opened to let out a sharp cry of pain.. Not even she could fake her composure, not when itwas physically harming heody. But she didn’t resist once again, in high hopes that Kano would leave. If not … perhaps she could tell him one final message. Continuing her sharp cries, she gave a piercing glance at the floor still not wishing to look at the creature directly.
” … I-I would never … e-entertain you! P-Please … don’t hurt … K-Kano … Kano GO! Y-You can’t stay … the p-pages … go! I-I … I’ll be … alright … ”
That was the biggest LIE she ever told him. She wouldn’t be alright …
Tears fell hard and fast as she began to lose consciousnesses, and Kano’s grip on her was beginning to loosen while she was hoisted into the air. She was going to die… Right in front of him…
That’s right… This scene was… So very familiar…
He had watched someone important die right in front of his eyes before… That’s why he didn’t want to let it happen again, and yet here he was, standing there and watching as the inevitable happened.
A fit of tears erupted as he watched her, and he kept his hand raised, as if attempting to grab her.
“N-Naoto-kun!!!” he cried out one last time.
How DARE they take someone… So important from him!
{
He watched the pain take control over her body, the desperation on the boys eyes. Oh, this was fascinating. But it would have to end eventually. It was the end, and for got knows how long the sharp tentacle would go around, going and coming, cutting flesh and making blood slip all over himself and Kano. Until the girl would grasp for air, and blood would be the only thing to enter.
yO͜U weRen͏'t͏ aB͝l̨e̕ ͜T̛O͢ G̕Ét A̛l͘l ҉Of thEM.̶ ͡gA̡m҉e Ov̧e͝R͡.͝͝
The life no more resided on the girl's body, the head now falling besides her body like a beautiful bloody doll. Slowly the monster started to fade away, leaving Kano to his cries and anger.

And with this he completely disappeared, leaving the boy to do whatever he pleased with his remaining time.

God damn his paws hurt. But this was nothing compared to what he’d gone through before.
"Ngh… Fuck you!"
Again with trying to activate psyches that weren’t there. When would he figure it out?
{
He was trying so hard.... But it was time for his life come to an end.

His tentacles started to do the same with all part of his body, with all his joins, minus his neck, because he wanted the animal to be alive while he felt every tiny part of his body being broken. The screams were the best part, and Sora wouldn't trade them for nothing. As soon as there was nothing left for him to break, the other just started to rip him apart until there was no more life on that thing, only a small thing remained, that his own data system captured and reserved in a quarantine zone.

Sora then left, the blood of the chinchilla covering the center of Scramble Crossing, together with his remains.

”Hmph … Does it matter what I have left to accomplish? I understand … I am a burden … my existence is a burden but … that is precisely what I am … and choose to pass on my burden to no one but myself … so long as he’s alive, it’s alright. Death, living … You’re nothing but a hollow mask who feeds on livestock … us. Which is why … ”
Her body felt constricted, almost like a serpent coiling its body around her to eliminate her movements. She didn’t bother into resisting nor trying to escape. If this is what will happen due to her lack of participation in this game, so be it. At least she may encounter Yosuke again … somehow. But Kano deserved to proceed until the final day. He’ll be living tomorrow; that much she knew. Brows narrowed themselves by his pitiful threats. Not even its little threats of how it’ll end her was making her scared. Her mind might be a little fascinating. Whatever. But it was her partner’s cries that cut her the most.
Stay back Kano … please make it out … I don’t care … what happens to me …
” … ”
Simply remaining silent to Kano’s cries for her, she honestly didn’t want him to be anywhere near here. That’s right —— her eyes already noticed precisely what this creature was. Unknown but a little terrifying … if Kano were to be the next one, it’d show. But his attention seem to focus more on her. Thank goodness. Turning her attention back to the being, there was nothing more she could add except wanting for it to finish the task as quickly as possible. The sooner so Kano’s safety was ensured. Nothing else mattered but to see her partner making it out with her soon-to-be lifeless eyes. Why did this feeling, practically launching herself for the sake of another person, remind her of something? The only person she remembered saving was Yosuke but … at this point, she didn’t care about anyone else. Yet Kano became another who was triggering something. Justice … She didn’t have that, did she? No matter. It wouldn’t matter to think about anything since this was the end.
” … Enough with your mind games. Leave him alone … you came for me, correct? Call my actions in saving someone to be pitiful but … it feels … natural … that is who I am … I am … "
Flinching a little, that grip over her frame and head were ignored for a while until she realized it was hurting. So this is what it felt like to be in its hold. How annoying. Even her voice carried out a few heavy breaths to it.
” … You are pitiful … to even think I would be scared of dying in your show!”
"Naoto, no! Don't talk to it! Just run!"
Why was she trying to argue with something that clearly intended to erase her!? She had to go, or fight it-- not try to reason with it! As soon as he watch Naoto become constricted, he was quick to grab her arm, as if to try and pull her back so that she could free her.
"LET GO OF HER! SHE'S NOT GUILTY OF ANYTHING!!!"
{
Such admirable lives. People trying to save each other's ass even in a situation that could get them both killed. Desperation that could be almost touched while they cried for one another's life. She desperately tried to convince Sora that his mind games wouldn't work, but the overworked boy beside her seemed to thinkg otherwise.

The cries were wonderful. Oh Sora was so excited about this. They were screaming so much more than Zack and Cloud. He was filled with joy, at this moment.

His tentacles moved around the boy too, taking him away from his pray, for he would be the spectator, much like Zack was to Cloud's death. Kano still had the chance to live, though if he wanted to die besides the girl, Sora would gladly comply... But after her death, that is.
Another tentacle moved closer to Naoto, and it was sharp like a knight, the girl could tell because as soon as it touched her skin, it started to be teared apart, but he was doing it slowly, oh so slowly that she would die in horrible pain. He would cut her head out, and she would feel every bit of it.

He did NOT just insult his title.
"FUCK YOU! I’VE GOT SHARP POINTY TEETH!"
And then he bit into nothing. He didn’t even have time to react.
{
His laughter was loud at the other's scream. He was really trying to intimidate the Slender? So there were courageous people like him on this game. Sadly he would die a day before the end of it. There was no going around that rule.

Moving his hand toward the small paw, Sora started to break each small finger like it was literally nothing. Rikari was nothing more than a porcelain puppet to his man, and he was going to make all his join veeeeeeeeeery flexible.

Not again …
That voice echoing throughout the area. It almost made her wonder if it was right for her partner to depart while she remained downstairs. Still, there was that burden of being beside him would only cause his downfall. It’s best if she would be the first to endanger. So long as he made it out alive … I care not what happens to me … I lost everything … , life itself was hardly something she could consider as a loss. Alone and simply forgotten —— that was her fate. Death itself couldn’t make her any less terrified. What she feared was being alone and right now … her fears were increasing. The voice, darkness swallowing up any detectable light … her partner wouldn’t see, perhaps. He was still in charge of locating a page for the mission. If she had been the one to obtain the page, it’d be out of vain. So it’s good that he got it. At least he’ll make it for the final day. Eyes narrowing themselves, she didn’t make any subtle movementbut awaited for her partner. It didn’t help with the company she had right now was an unfamiliar voice.
” … Heard … I am … next … found guilty, huh … I see … ”
Was it truly that laughable to have her found guilty? Was her existence found guilty or … and then it hit her. Of course. She didn’t do much in order to accomplish any form of freedom of this imprisonment. Maybe I wanted to die in the beginning … because he’s gone … Yosuke … , why continue to live when he was gone? Yet Kano was shifting her deicisions; the fool he was. More like a distraction to giving her a little hope to continue in this game. With that, she could only hope that he wouldn’t see this. The whisper through her ear didn’t make her react nor shiver. His show? It must have been a very dull one, at that.
” … I care not what happens nor what you did for your show … your game is not amusing … but … leave him out of this show … ”
I don’t care what happens to me. . . just let Kano escape …
Before Kano stepped outside of the door, Kano quickly stuffed the piece of paper that he had retrieved into his pocket. It was best to keep the paper, since it was vital for the mission… He and Naoto had to survive, after all! For a moment, Kano thought about what would happen after the game was done… He and Naoto escaping, and maybe Kano could take her somewhere that she really liked.
Unfortunately, that would never happen.
The moment that he stepped out of the door, his eyes immediately met with a scary figure that approached Naoto, and he merely froze in fear for a moment.
“W-What… the…”
His throat felt dry, and his eyes were wide, tears pricked at the corners of his eyes. Was he…!? No…!
NO!
Though he couldn’t put his finger on it, this scene looked PAINFULLY familiar… He couldn’t let this happen!
“NAOTO!” he cried out as he ran towards her to try and grab his arm. The only thing on his mind to complete the mission anymore… It was to save Naoto!
{
Ooooh... she was another one of those pure spirits? Or was that she wanted to be seen as one too and maybe it would bring her a little salvation. Haha, there was no salvation on this world. There was nothing she could do, for there would be nothing left of her to get redemption. Second chance, what a laughable excuse to play with people's lives.

She could feel the darkness closing by, starting to lock itself against her body, making it so that her hands and feet couldn't move more than some inches, while the voice would talk like it was whispering sweet nothings on her ear.

He laughed, and she could feel his arms warping itself against her frame, like she was something dear to him. A very precious TOY. Then he moved away from her, circling her, and as he was entering her vision, the static sound would get louder, and her head would hurt more and more.

It was a surprise, though, that the other had come back so quickly. He sincerely thought he had more time to play around. Looking back at the boy, the slender smirked. As Kano was almost touching him, the dark tentacles laced themselves around his arms and feet, keeping him at bay while he played with his little toy.
This reaper wasn't meant to die, at least yet, but neither of them knew, and so, just like he did to Zack, he could play a little mind game.

The chinchilla had stared into the face of insanity. And it had stared back. He began screaming uncontrollably.
"I… I’LL KILL YOU BASTARD!"
He immediately tried to use his pins. But they weren’t there. It wasn’t registering though. He kept trying and trying, but nothing was happening.
{
Oh, that scream was so satisfying. So delicious, like a buffet of tasteful sweets. Sora was flavoring them all, his desire to kill his killer, his hate, his frustration, his fear. Oh.... Should he play a little more? Just to see what kind of found would a chinchilla do?

The slender moved closer, his gloved hand stopping so near that if Rikari tired, maaaaaybe he could bite him, but it was just an illusion. Slender couldn't be really hurt, and that chinchilla wouldn't be the first to do that.

It seemed like all the failures were together at the same point of the map. Though one little thing was able to escape to other's parts, but he was already taking care of it. After all, Slender could be at more than one place at the same time. This girl in specific was an interesting one, he wouldn't lie. But she didn't play her part as she was meant to, and now her body belonged to him to do as he pleases, just like the other two.

Soon any kind of light that she could see disappeared, she was left alone in the darkness. The good thing about the darkness was that you could try using it to your favor, hiding and being almost sure that you enemy hadn't seen where you went. The bad thing about it was that you also couldn't see what was coming, neither what to expect. And this darkness that was placed around her was an aggressive one. She had no friends, no sense of security, just that strange sound and the feeling that something was crawling next to her, like a predator circling it's prey.
Ņa̸-̴ơ-To..̕.͞ yo͜u ̴H͠A̕ve ̶b̡E͝En f҉Ou͜ND gU͏I͞Lty̨.
His laughter echoed through the area, and she could feel it now, more then ever. Slender was there, he was there to capture her. To toy with her and then kill her.

Zack thought it was impossible to get angrier at this point but boy, he was wrong. When the portal opened and Cloud came through in that saddened state, it broke whatever that was left inside of him. The realisation of the blond’s death waved through his body like an unpleasant shockwave. He won’t see him smile again, no small shy chuckles, no more his name being called. This time there was not even the distant scream that he had last heard previously… All because he had thought it was a better idea to be separated from his friend.
“Leave him alone!”
Zack tried to pull the tentacles sewn through him, even as they gripped tighter. He could feel the foreign matter brushing through his bones. “No… don’t…” an arm reached out, it was hard but he needed to get to Cloud. He couldn’t let them touch him like that. Couldn’t let them defile him more…
The spleen looks rather tasty now, didn’t it?
The static in his head rang louder, and yet again, Zack shook his head to clear off the foreign voice. “Get away!”
There was steam coming off his body as the Mako in his system went into overdrive. The chemical laced in his muscles fortifying it making him able to move them again. The air was permeated with the sick stench of Mako and he broke off the tentacles that were holding him. Soon as he could gain momentum, the Wolf pin activated and he lunged towards Slenderman but not before snatching away the spleen that the creature was about to devour.
Zack didn’t care if the creature didn’t move, or if he’d flown across the room, what’s important to him was Cloud was here, all of him – “Shh, it’s okay buddy. I got you…” he murmured, stuffing the organ back into the opening of his friend’s body. “No one’s going to touch you now… you’re safe…” and he curled around Cloud, covering the lifeless body with his own, squeezing his eyes tight, unwilling the tears from escaping his eyelids. “I’ve got you…”
And maybe… just maybe, a huge part of him died together with his friend…
“I’ll look for you in the Lifestream… okay?”
"Goodnight…”
{
It seemed like his little play finally worked on the man before him. Would he attack him, or would he try to protect the lifeless body? Well, it was obvious to everyone, including himself. They friendship was admirable, the resolution of protecting even after death... Still, the Data couldn't understand a bit of it. It was like the meaning passe through him completely. Such devotion was hard to find this days. But this would end now.
Moving after the man, slowly, like he was letting him have some seconds to cry and make sure that every tiny bit of his friend was in fact intact -- besides what he had previously done -- the figure appeared again to both of them, but this time, the game had ended.
yo̧u c͡o̧UL͠Dn͠'t f̧iN̕D Th̡eM. ĢA͜M̶E͜ ̡óv́e̴R͡.
And with a quick movement of his tentacles, Sora stabbed through his heart, but respecting the body under Zack's, leaving Cloud of of his last aggression. As the light in Zack's eyes started to vanish, his static laughter started to ring though every single screen of Shibuya.
YO͞u Are ͢Th̶e ne̢x͝T. nA͢ ̨- ͠o ̸- ̶To.͜
And the transmission came to an end, the city returning to the complete darkness that Slenderman had placed on it hours before.

His partner’s death, one that he never wished to see had been forced upon him. At the accusation, he found that he was at fault. If only he was a better partner. If only he knew how this game actually works, and if only he had better brain power to no leave all the burden of thinking to Cloud. If only…
This was worse than how it had been. Even when he had carried his friend’s body for a year, cared for him, made plans for him he had at least a certain amount of control over them. Of course ShinRa had to put a permanent hiatus on his plans with his friend, but he had thought this could be their saving grace. All their hard work, reduced to nothing but more pain as he watched with sad eyes Cloud fell limp to the ground.
Zack looked up at his captor and frowned. He didn’t know what was left of Cloud but he didn’t want anyone to defile it further.
Eat him… then he shall forever be a part of you…
The SOLDIER shook his head at the foreign voice, glaring at the tentacles that seemed to dance before his eyes. He didn’t want to see this anymore. His friend had died and he failed. “Don’t touch him anymore…”
Growling at the pain that burst through his body, he shook in defiance at the request. He had an insane amount of pain tolerance, he never once screamed in pain even as those bullets tattered his body, he wasn’t going to give in now. The least he could do, if not for him, for Cloud was to not grant the Slenderman the satisfaction of hearing his scream.
He briefly wondered if he’d readily accept this, like he had the first time – back then with a smile on his face because he knew Cloud would survive. But now…
Another set of gears turned in his head, the voices of the other Players when they were in Wonderland, how Roxas and Cloud were tricking Vanicat and keeping Kano away and safe, the frogs from Kaneki and how he pissed him off accidentally and also the quaint green skinned lady that he met in Ramen Don. But in between them, lots and lots of images of Cloud smiling and looking happy.
At least there was that, how delicious the blond had looked.
Maybe they could do this again another time…
Maybe…
One last try to avenge his dead partner… No, his DMW wasn’t working anymore. Nothing, even his pins.
Collecting himself, he wasn’t going to acquiesce to his tormentor’s requests. He couldn’t move but he was going to do what he did best, annoy him. “Come on, I’ve seen people eat my hair before… now you’re drinking my blood… it’s just… not healthy… y’know…” he breathed between the intense pain that surged through his body.
{
He wanted to play, that was cute... Oh, Sora would give him a little play before ending with him. Still, he wanted to hear him scream, to make him angrier, to see what a modified human could do when they were pushed to their limits. And this one, oh, he was almost at that point.
It seemed like that dead blond was still pretty much important to the raven. The reason? Sora didn't know, he was dead, nothing more would come from him, so there was no reason for still try to protect him. To request that Slender would stop playing with his body.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Soon, where the screen that showed his beloved friend's death, a portal appeared, bringing the body of the fallen soldier, blood still dripping from his body as the skin slowly turned into white and purple. Getting to his feet, Sora walked over to the body of the blond, some of his tentacles going inside him and bringing his insides out, playing with it like it was his new toy. Still, while the main body was taking it's time to dissecting the blond's body, the tentacles that had just drilled the raven's body started to move around, piercing him around his arms and legs as if he was sewing his body, but never really going on the vital areas. He still wanted to hear Zack's voice, his anger, his hate. If he had to play with this puppet, then he would. Moving himself even closer to Cloud's body, e licked the blood out of one of the organs he had just pulled out, making a sound of approval a it's taste.

This was madness. No matter how many limbs he tore off, more appeared. They were everywhere, slithering up his thighs, wrapping around his throat, swatting at his face and he repeatedly clawed, bite and tear. Repeatedly defended and attacked, like he had that one time. No matter how much he healed himself, no matter how many he cut in half, more came to replace their place.
He ignored the words that told him that he was dumb. He heard that from everyone before and if he had taken heed to it, he wouldn’t have been the First Class SOLDIER that he was at the age of sixteen.
Was it? Had he even been a SOLDIER? He did, his eyes said so. Like Cloud, his little infantryman had the same eyes too… no… Cloud’s eyes, they no longer posses the shine of Mako in them… why had that happen?
But his thoughts were interrupted yet again, as he realized that he was mostly immobile being caught in the tentacles, his muscles contracted hard under the grip, a pained groan escaped his chest and before his a screen of some sort materialized and showed his friend.
Cloud was in pain, but he seemed to endure it. Things that the raven didn’t remember anymore returned to him. Cloud looked exactly like he did when he was subjected to Hojo’s experiments, his howls and screams were replaced by pained winces and little whimpers when he realized that there was nothing else that he could do.
Cloud was either trying to be strong or giving up.
But he sure was adamant to not let his tormentor enjoy his pain. His tormentor? There was… another one of these creatures?
“You…!” and he exhaled sharply. There was no use talking to this psychopath. They all never listened. “Cloud… Cloud…!” he called, the blond couldn’t be too far away if he was already bound. This was his fault. Now instead of one, they had to deal with two of them. And he couldn’t be there for Cloud. He couldn’t protect him, he was going to fail him like he did Angeal and Sephiroth…
Then he heard it, Cloud’s scream. It was just for a split second, but he heard it. “Cloud! Oh, god! Cloud, I’m sorry!” now he was quickly losing it, he needed to think of something. “Please let him go,” bargaining, he needed to try this. He didn’t like how there were so much blood staining his friend’s otherwise porcelain skin. He didn’t like that his friend was suffering. “Please take me, don’t touch him. He’s been through too much. Please…!”
{
His expression was indeed priceless, and he hoped that the whole city had seen it. The begging too, was something that the corrupted Data was relishing about. Still, he wouldn't reply any of them, he would just make sure that the raven male would have those memories craved inside his mind, forever. As Cloud requested an explanation, before dying, the monster looked back to Zack.

And then his other self finally ended with Cloud's life, a loud static laughter following the falling of the lifeless body. Cloud was dead before the eyes of the one who wanted to protect him the most. He was the exemple of what would happen to those who didn't crossed the finishing line with all those eight papers, or those who crossed the slender's path. On day three they didn't get all that scared, so now he was hoping that it wouldn't repeat itself.

Still, now that the first plate had been served and devoured by the hungry mouth of the slender, it was time for the main course. Kneeling down next to the SOLDIER, Sora smiled as his tentacles started to caress his torso, before making a hole right through it. And then a second and a third. Still, they weren't near his vital points, just places that would hurt like hell and possibly make him scream.

Sora moved his hand to the place where the blood was dripping from the other male's hole, getting a bit of it and licking like it was a delicious treat.

Cloud grunted, his body shaking still as his breathing grew more and more labored. This was truly the end… nothing could stop this at this point.. he knew that. However, his mind it seemed had finally accepted that he was finished and as much as he had tried before the fear had won over.
He was weak both from the pain and how much blood he’d already lost. He tensed and squirmed a bit as larger holes were ripped into his flesh, swallowing harshly.
Feeling those fingers close around what he knew to be his heart, Cloud couldn’t fight back the slight cough as his eyes grew suddenly tired. “…. Why..?” He didn’t know why the question came to his mind… or even what it was he was even asking. However there was a slightly defeated look there as he shook his head. He wished… he wished that this wasn’t the last thing Zack would see of him… if he wasn’t already dead anyway. Pathetic.
"Ǵ̰̖̙̞̻͢͞Ò̺̺̞̭̕ơ̷̸̬͚͇̘̞̫̘Ḑ̥͚̲͉̼̝B̼͍̭͚y̺͙͍̹͕̲͞É̡̹."
Fingers closed around the organ without giving a real answer, crushing it in his fist.
The last thing Cloud heard was static.

Cloud struggled against the cry that he could feel building. He wouldn’t, he couldn’t give this creature the satisfaction. He couldn’t let Zack hear… it’d tear him apart to hear him in pain and realize he hadn’t managed to protect him.
His heart seemed to stop a bit when he was told Zack was watching, that he could see. That couldn’t be true! Yet, with what he’d already experience could he really deny the possibility..? He fought it back again, refusing to cry out. It was just a trick! It had to be! However he felt that hand digging around deeper inside until that sickening feeling of something giving in to the questing fingers. Having not experienced that kind of pain before, coupled with the knowledge whether it was true or not of Zack already knowing the situation he was in seemed to do it for just a moment.
"Ahhhh!" It was short, Cloud quickly clamping his mouth shut again as his head slumped slightly. Currently, the blond was disappointed in his own inability to even hold back that much. In a moment of anger and defiance Cloud’s head lifted, glaring at the creature before spitting a bit of blood, aiming for his cheek if nothing else. "… Despicable… Beast.." He growled out, the fury in his eyes.
The blood hitting his face barely drew his attention, as interested as he was in finding more organs to poke at. It had been an interesting experience to feel one crush under his hand and he wanted to know if others did as well.
Tentacles ripped larger holes into skin, and his hands followed. "S̛hO͟UĹd̶ ̢i̵ ͏́͝G̷̶͟I̛͝͠VE̢ ́H͟i̕͡M̧̢͜ ͞y͏͡O̵U̡̕r ͞͡H̷EA̴R̡͜t͟ ̶w҉̷h̡͝e̸̶N̨͘ ̸̛I̧̛͝'͡m͜ ̛́D̵̀O͢͝N̕͝͝e ͟wi̧t̨̛h́͡ ̧͞IT̡͡?͟" Fingers closed around it gently.

Cloud bit back his response to the comment of Zack going to die as well. He’d kind of known… after all if one partner is erased unless through certain situations… their partner did too in most situations. At least… so he’d heard. It was then he heard the question. Does it hurt..? By Shiva it hurt! It burned worse then Ifrit’s fire and he should know. Was he going to give this thing the satisfaction of knowing that..? Not if he could help it.
His body was shaking a bit by then, and a strangled gasp forced it’s way past Cloud’s lips. “…. A creature like you… wouldn’t understand the meaning of pain…. This is nothing..” In comparison to pain he’d felt? He’d agree that this was mild. He’d been through enough pain emotionally and physically to understand. Physical pain was easy to endure in the long run..

Human insides were squishier than he'd realized, Sora noted. Much squishier. Something crushed under questing fingers, and the static laughter returned. How much longer would the boy last before it was too much?
Would he scream before he died? He hoped so.

The jeering words taunted him and as soon as he could see the figure – in a suit with ethereal tentacles – he’d lunged himself head first into the lanky creature. There was impact and at this moment, he knew that at the least, he could stall it. Hold it as long as he could so Cloud could run further away. Any chance of giving the blond a chance of survival, he would do whatever it takes.
“I have no one else. If I can be his Hero, it would be more than enough.” To prove his existence, to make sure that he wasn’t just a nameless SOLDIER that lived and died without being recognized, to justify all that he’d been through, to at least be able to help one person and make a difference.
But worse comes to worse, he’d only return to the Lifestream, accompanied by the faint scent of lilies in the air. At least if Cloud would live, he could still watch over him, to make sure he was alright and live a long and fulfilled life.
Hands reached out for the wriggling tentacles and he started to rip them off. He wasn’t sure if this was real or not, but as long as his hands could feel that he was dismembering something, he was satisfied. “I forgot how liberating it feels like to be angry.”
{
He had fallen for it. Zack believed from all his heart that his death would mean Cloud's salvation. Those pure and selfless hearts were so funny to play with, hahahah. Sora knew better than anyone, because he was like that too. In the past, he had sacrificed everything he was so Mickey, Donald and Goofy would be safe. His own memories wiped clean like nothing had happened. Those hearts were so easy to manipulate, when the only thing they had in mind was the protection of those they loved.

As Zack looked back to the monster before him, his mind started to suffer. The sound of static intensified as if it was coming from inside his brain, his vision got blurred and faulty and his body almost shut. It was like the present in front of him was pure darkness, capable of warping itself around even the purest of hearts without taking any kind of damage. Still, Zack was a SOLDIER, and he was able to move and cut some of his tentacles, but as his sword was getting near the blank face, more tentacles of darkness appeared in front of him, blocking the attack completely. He could feel that his other self was also getting near something interesting, so, without giving Zack a chance to run or defend himself, threads of darkness jumped all at once, locking hands and feet, neck and torso, making the one before him fall on his knees as a monstrous and pleased smile appeared on the white lips. Moving closer, as a gloved hand caressed the SOLDIER's face, he laughed

Sora said with a delighted tone, as a small screen appeared before Zack eyes, showing him what was happening to Cloud at that exactly moment. He would let him hear and see everything, just like the rest of the city would.

He laughed, vision fixed on the expression he would make as he watched his precious friend be killed. Oh, this was too much... Too addicting. He wanted more. Please, scream. Call me names. Make this moment memorable. Hahahahahaha.

He knew it was futile, but he never was one to just give in… not anymore anyway. A grunt would be heard when the limbs got tighter, Cloud continuing to squirm against the hold. At least, until he felt that limb pierce through him. A gasp of pain was heard as Cloud’s body stilled, mostly due to shock.
Soon after there was a cough as Cloud winced. He was breathing heavily now before glaring up at whatever this creature was. “… I’m no.. puppet..” He growled out even if he couldn’t fight back to prove his point. The defiant glare in his eyes said it all. No matter what was done to him, he refused to scream. They were close enough, he knew Zack would hear. It would be a distraction for the raven more then likely causing his death to occur quicker. He was used to pain… and he wouldn’t scream.

The feeling of blood across his fingers was wonderful, chunks of flesh squishing in his hands delightfully. Idly he wondered if the insides were as interesting and began to work a hand into one of the larger wounds, just to see.
