"Wake up." A voice echoed through the vast nothingness. "It's time to free yourself. Amora. Wake up." It continued as I reached for my bruised and damaged neck. I remembered what Cole's family had done to me. What they did to my family. My parents.
I walked toward the voice, looking for an escape from my own mind and thoughts, warped and damaged. I could see Shogeki tied up on the floor, just as I had left him.
"Are you ready to talk? Where. Is. Darkness?" I asked, holding my blade to his other eye.
"I-I already told you Amora, I'm here to help you, if I knew I'd have told you already! He's been gone for so long! You'd need to-" I put my blade against his mouth.
"Go to the other universe. I know. You've said it many times. Am I supposed to somehow believe you? Going to another universe?" I said, wanting so desperately to kill him right here and now.
"It's possible! You just need to go to my father's old lab! You need to go! Trust me! I have a clue of what to input into the machine! We can find Darkness!" He continued onward, so I quickly knocked him out with the hilt of my blade.
"Shut the fuck up." I muttered, picking him up and going to his father's lab. Inside was a ruin, his father long since dead and gone, I smiled, realizing he was dead because of me.
I began the machine, only to see the worst of possibilities. It didn't turn on.
I walked around the ruin, looking for anything broken, finally finding the problem, which had seemed to be a loose fuse in the electrical room. As I put the fuse back, I found what had loosened the fuse, they were currently holding a sharp cold blade against my throat.
"Don't move Amora." The familiar voice of Cole echoed across the walls. "I will kill you if I need to, I won't give you a chance to att-" He said as I turned and flipped his blade out of his hand in one, swift movement.
"Stay away from this Cole. I won't hesitate to kill you as well if I needed to. I have a mission currently, and I need to find Darkness, he caused this anomaly." I said, turning my back to him and walking away. Once back to the machine, I woke up Shogeki and told him to input the code he seemingly knew. He sluggishly did and the portal lit up, opening some kind of rift. I looked around inside.
"Wrong universe. Try again." I said, getting angry.
"Amora! This'll take a while, please let me and Cole do this! We can succeed!" He said, as if begging for his life.
"Fine, but Darkness doesn't even know what he has done to this world, and soon we will show him." I laughed, my voice was still broken, it'd had always been, even since I was younger.
Ever since Cole's father had strangled me to death.
