Chapter 6 - pain and loss 0.1

Stranger: My name....(stands straight as the sound of thunder rumbles) Is Six

Yoshi: (shocked) Six? As in the sixer? The one with the special mark that resembles a six you leave on every victim you kill? like some kind of sick brand and the new assassin that the people on the street say..(stops talking)

Six: what made you stop. Oh please by all means go on, go on don't let me stop you

Yoshi: The new assassin on the street that people are saying is part of the new terrorist group… the Red Eye

Six: Wow (claps his hands) I'm very impressed you seem to know a lot about me, I have to give you more credit than I did originally looks like you weren't the former blacklist for nothing. In fact most of what you said just now isn't even information public to other people or other slayers since it's all classified info. Please if there is anything else don't hesitate to add

Yoshi: (grass grows into his hand and a sword begins to take form)No. Not a thing left that I want to add, but, There is something I'm going to say (points the incomplete sword towards him) I'm going to kill you for three reasons

Is because of what you said about my son

Is for the sick things you have done to people so I will rid you from the world before you do any more harm

And lastly 3 is because you interrupted my sons birthday and tore up my house.

So I want you to just stay there (grass finally takes the form of a sword)and die ( recites his chant)

Sword summoning: Neo planter! (To Six) let's finish this Six!

Six: (looks at him) You're right I think we dragged this battle on long enough. Look I'll tell you what. How about we both use up our strongest moves and attack each other with them, then whoever finishes the other off with their attack wins. What do you say?

Yoshi: I say (a burst of energy comes out of his body as flowers grow around him) Your on. (Recites his chant) Grim rose: soulless!

Six: (recites his chant) Prison world: Tomb of an iron maiden

Six & Yoshi : IT ENDS NOW! (charge at each other with battle cry)

As the two of them clash a massive purple explosion with a red rose at its top appears at the scene of the fight the explosion is seen from town causing which causes panic amongst the town's people. Meanwhile, Mira is still running towards Yoshi

Mira: (sees the rose above the purple explosion) That rose... Yoshi used grim rose, that's the second to the last attack in the corpse party arsenal. I have to hurry there's no telling what could have happened (jumps off trees)

Back at the scene of the explosion, The battle resulted in the house of Yoshi and Mira Toshida being destroyed and the vegetation in the area to die. As for the warriors, Yoshi survives the battle but looses his left hand to Six. Six whereabouts remain unknown as the smoke clears from the explosion, there isn't a trace of him left. Yoshi goes to the tree that stays at the far end of the backyard, and rests there as he looses blood from his injuries

Yoshi: (grunts) tIts a good thing I bought this house so far from town (coughs blood) there wouldn't have been anyway the town would have withstood that attack especially since soulless doesn't just kill vegetation (looking at the tree at their backyard as it turns white, as if the tree had been covered by snow) look at that... even the tree's dying, well in an unusual way and (goes and lays under the tree) this move really is dangerous...it kills everything, it kills spirit pulse in the area and people (grabs his shoulder and grunts in pain) that's why that move is a last resort (looks towards the house) I wonder If I got that Six guy (lays on the floor with his back on the ground) Well I wish I didn't have to destroy the house in the process though (laughs and coughs up some blood) that fight was crazy that's for sure, but, it's over

Six: (comes out of the rubble of the house) The fact that you can laugh like that with your arm torn off and just lay down there casually like the fights over, amazes me (holds his rotten arm )

Yoshi: (smiles through the pain) Well you're not looking to good yourself (sits up to get a better look at him) My attack didn't hit you dead on but your body is still going to give out as the effect of soulless spreads. So in about ten minutes you're going to die (coughs violently) Serves you right, you bastard!

Six: Well maybe it might just be coincidence, but your going to be joining me pretty soon as well. The only difference is that one of us has more time and that's clearly me. You on the other hand will bleed out in five?... six minutes tops but don't worry (laughs) just in case I can't join you, ill be sending your wife to keep you company and just cause I'm a nice guy ill kill her quickly so consider it mercy

Yoshi: Damn you! (coughs violently)

Six: You better save up some of that energy to tell your wife goodbye or you're going to die before you get the chance

Mira:(lands in the backyard, sees Yoshi by the tree and runs to him) Yoshi!

Six: Speak of the devil

Mira: (looks at him) Damn you! Ill make you pay for what you did to him

Six: well too bad you won't get the chance. You have to let me go

Mira: Yeah? ( points her sword towards him) and why the hell would I do something like that?

Six: its simple really. It's because you don't have much of a choice, its either you choose to battle me, which shouldn't take more than five minutes and Let your husband die... Or you let me escape and attend to his wounds

Mira: (scoffs) Don't flatter yourself, it will only take me four minutes to finish you off my husbands technique has already done most of the work and your definitely to weak to fight me with all your strength so your in no position to battle me

Six: (thinking as he grunts) Damn it! She's right! I just wish I had one more trick I could use!

Yamato: (appears at the scene)Mum! Dad! I'm here to help!

Six: Perfect! (dashes towards Yamato with a hidden dagger in hand)

Yoshi: (shouting) No! Yamato get out of here!

Mira suddenly jumps in front of Yamato and takes the attack head on. But is stabbed right underneath her heart. Six jumps back to the position he was in before he attacked

Yamato: Mum! (Quickly walks to her front with trembling lips)

Mira: I…thought....I told you to…stay…put (falls on her knees and rests her heads on Yamatos shoulder)

Six: I was hoping to avoid having to kill unnecessarily and without the child witnessing...(uses his hood to cover his eyes as he looks into the rain) You should have listened to your mother kid! You shouldn't have come!

Yamato: (starts crying) But…this isn't…no....I....was just….I…was trying to help….I

Yoshi:( Runs towards six in attempt to attack him) I'm going to kill you

Yamato: Dad! wait, don't!

Six: Sit down(punches Yoshi in the chest and sends him flying into the tree)

Yamato: (shouting) No!

Six: It seems this has gone out of control so I have to kill you all now(walks towards Mira as she holds on to Yamato) your Father is probably dead and your Mother is soon to join him so I'll just send you off with them (brings out another one of his hidden blade and thrusts it)

Mira: (quickly quickly turns Yamato to face her and hugs him as she uses her back to block the blade and is stabbed)I can't just let you kill my boy now…can…I? (falls off Yamatos shoulders and on the floor) run…son

Yamato:(sobs and panics) Mum! Dad! this can't be happening...they just…can't be. They're…. They're the strongest right (grabs his hair and faces the ground) no! They are the strongest so this shouldn't be happening (begins to cry) Mum, you told me Dad wouldn't lose right? so that means there is still a plan, there has to be

(starts screaming and crying) why?! Why?! Why?! why us?! why my family?! Why my parents?!

Six: So you wish to know the reason behind why they had to die or do you wish to know the reason behind why this happened at all. If I answered your question honestly you will not be satisfied because the question you would ask next is what caused such a thing or what would cause my reason.

Well the answer to that is choice. Choice creates reason or better put choice founds reason . After you're given an ultimatum or given two options the first thing you would do is make a choice and choose between those two things, then the next and obvious thing to be asked is why you made that decision, so you see? everyone must have a reason for doing something weather bad or good people rely on motive to make action. The problem goes from

CHOICE - ACTION - and the final result REASON so no matter what I would have done good or bad you would have asked me the same question.

But not everyone needs a motive and though that may be hard for you to accept, that is just the hard truth kid. Your parents didn't have to be my target, I didn't do this because I hated them, I didn't do this because I have a grudge with them. I was given an order, it could have been anyone else but I chose your parents and I killed them, So there is no reason for why I took them from you.

Yamato: (pauses his motion) So you…..just killed them… and you say it's for no reason.... how could you?!
