"Murder is not an option."

An uncomfortably cold shiver raced down his spine. Wearing a deceptively composed expression, Revolver swallowed the lump in his throat and averted the Ignis' gaze. Despite feeling like the next question would make way for an equally uncomfortable conversation, he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"Would you really consider killing someone for your own benefit?"

Revolver would rather overlook the fact that he had attempted mass genocide not too long ago. The guilt remained etched into his heart.

The light Ignis was rather well aware of the fact that there still were some topics his dear partner and himself had different mindsets on, but part of him hadn’t expected this to be part of it. After all he had studied the other one closely and he knew rather well from what kind of situation the human came to him not too long ago. 

“Oh is it not now? I thought you thought different.” he pointed out eventually, his eyes on the other one in an almost bored expression. 

“Wasn’t it you who came to my home five years ago trying to murder us on the behalf of your father? And wasn’t it you who put the life of thousands of ´humans to risk with that tower that wasn’t even your idea?” 

A sigh left his lips, before he shook his head slightly. 

“Well of course I would. It would safe me a lot of trouble after all.” 

And it wasn’t as if he hadn’t attempted to kill the others father for taking the child away from him after all..

Suddenly things happened too fast for Playmaker to realize. To take into account every single detail.  He still wanted to save Ai. Needed to save Ai because otherwise everything else would have been in vain. He wouldn’t have made it this far if it hadn’t been for the other one at his side, even though he hadn’t been able to realize it until it had been too late. 

But Ai’s monster was powerful and even though Playmaker had tried his best to stop him, to save him... eventually he ran out of options and before he even had been able to admit that to himself even less to Ai, his life points already had dropped to zero  and he had hit the ground before he hat noticed that he actually was screaming. 

His whole body was in pain. And while part of him was rather sure that it wasn’t real, that despite everything Ai wouldn’t to this to him, the bigger part of him was screaming in pain, eyes shut tightly while his whole body was trembling. 

A few meters away stood Ai, probably as shocked about the result of his attack as Playmaker had been. The AI had been sure.. so damn sure that Playmaker would be able to stop this attack. That the duel wouldn’t end like this. After all Playmaker had set card on his field. Had cards on his hand. He had been rather sure things would turn out okay and instead here he was, starring at his former partner in pain he couldn’t explain where it came from. 

This wasn’t what he wanted. 

“Play...Yusaku?” It was only a half attempt to get the others attention, one he knew he wouldn’t get anyways. Not like this. Not after what he just done... 

And then there suddenly was silence and somehow that was frightening him more than the painful screams. Golden eyed wide while he took fast steps towards the other one, but Playmaker wasn’t even reacting to him, starring into the sky with empty eyes without even noticing it was here. 

Something inside of Ai broke at that moment all over again. And so he did what he could do best probably. And run. But not without sending a single message from the others duel disk. He wasn’t in any position to help his partner right now. He would fail again and only bring him more pain but there was one person... this one person. And no matter how much Ai hated it in this moment... he had to trust Revovler with this.
