Chapter 4 - Act 4: Returning for Love

"Reawake and fight!" Opening his eyes Kael instantly lifts his body off the ground to face the man once more.

"You really won't die will you!?" Bolting towards Kael followed by unsheathing his blade upon midway to his destination, the man commits to another strike. This time Kael retaliates by dodging the attack and counter attacking with a punch to the man's face. Avoiding Kael's jab the man delivers a quick horizontal slash upon Kael's stomach. Successfully leaping backward away, from said attack Kael and the man assures, distances from one another. Glancing at the man for his next movement Kael suffers from a quick sharp pain inflicting his heart.

"Seirin…" Turning his attention to the exit Kael reaches into his back pocket pulling out a knife and pistol.

"Fighting back are we?" Said the man.

"I don't have the time to deal with you. I'll accept my fate to live by her side and her side alone. This will be farewell...father…" Spoken from Kael in a sadden, tone.

"You are nothing but a stranger to me!" The man pushes forth to Kael in an intent to ignore his limits.

"Right…" Kael clashes weapons with the man and proceeds to battle.

"Love is the only reason to continue fighting. Now show them your love is the ultimate reason to live." With the old lady voice speaking said words through her head Seirin opens her eyes to see Gale standing above her as rain pours down onto her face.

"You remain alive!?" Spoken in a confused fashion.

"Love conquers all" With a smile across her face Seirin stares into Gale's eyes while directing her pistol at his face with both hands holding onto the body of the gun. Pulling the trigger Seirin releases a bullet past Gale's head.

"If I had any attention to killing you I could have done so with that shot. Now leave me be or the next shot will be in your head. I meant what I said about creating a future where everyone can get along. If you were to stand in my way of that perfect dream you'll be the only one not present." Said Seirin.

"Sigh. The love between both of you is rather strong. It even avoids death itself." He backs away from Seirin lifting her upper body off the ground.

"Well ya, something like that haha." Standing up from off the ground Seirin prepares herself to begin returning to her task to reach Kael.

"I must warn you Seirin before you continue to go on your journey. Lady Marceline ordered your death for a high price. Please be careful. I'll be fighting on your side in pursuit to live through your future. Do me a favor and achieve this said dream in the success or we'll both be dead."

"Why of course. If it wasn't for you neither me or sis would be alive till this day."Said Seirin.

"Yes, pardon my recent actions." Spoken in a sincere tone.

"It's in the past. Along with my sister's actions. If I can forgive you for that once Kael and I get what we want everything will be fine. So I'll be off." Running down the street with her weapon in hand Seirin proceeds to head to Kael's location.
