DeathMatch: Tournament of Blood

[Arrant]

Arrant awed as the space pirates and ninjas fought, then looked at his vodka bottle and dropped it on the floor. "I really gotta stop drinking..." he started walking toward the training hall again, his eyes locked into the distance as he worried about his sanity.

[Shenzii]

Blaire couldn't help but feel guilty. She slid down against the wall outside of Y's room. She held her face in her hands.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Hera went over to Chrono, and dragged him off the bed before throwing him out the room. "I can't believe I wouldn't kill him..." she mumbled in disbelief before locking the door and going back to sleep, but without the sudden change of appearance. As Hera went to sleep, Chrono felt the fog leave his mind, and regained control of his body. "Ugh... wha- wait... why am I out here, Balire!" Chrono immedeatly got up to his feet and ran down the hallway, and the klaxxon in Blaire's mind finally went silent.

[Entaru]

Why did you tell her?

"I had no choice."

Of course you had a choice.

"Why does it matter?"

Because, you would never tell anyone anything.  Except her of course...

"That's exactly it...she's her...but me as well."

Emotions, despite who we are and what we do.

"We are the same."

We are...the same

"And yet...so very...different."

[Shenzii]

Blaire held her eyes shut tight. Her mind racing. Guilt was all she could feel.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono turned a tight corner, and saw Blaire down the hall, then the link sent a smack of guilt towards him. "To talk or to not talk...." he mumbled as he tried to avoid her senses, trying to act like he never left, even if he had no control over it...

[Shenzii]

Blaire sighed and put her head against the wall unaware of Chrono's presence. Her eyes opened revealing a beautiful blue green shade. The link reconnected and she looked towards Chrono. "Oh, Hey."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono tried to smile and act like he didn't know what was wrong, but their mental link made it hard. "S-Something wrong... you seem depressed" He had a guess what it was about, but he was still trying to not give anything away.

[Shenzii]

"You can stop with the charade. The link is connected." She looked at him and laughed lightly.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono sighed, and looked past Blaire, not being able to see Y. "So, what did he want... beyond knowing you of course..." He could pick up some pity and caring for Y in her feelings, but he has no idea why shes feeling that way.

[Entaru]

Y's eyes shot wide open as the nanites in Blaire's body heard Chrono's question.  If Blaire told anyone his story, he would be ruined forever.  The Imperium would be after his head for fraternizing with the enemy.  No one would be afraid of him anymore.  His reputation for his sadistic nature would be overshadowed by pity.

The organics would pity him...

...NO!  I AM Y!!  I will not be pitied by those FILTHY ORGANICS!!!!  If you tell anyone, then I will not be held responsible for my actions against them.  I will not harm you anymore, but this MUST remain a secret!  I cannot have anyone knowing my past.   Please Blaire...I'm begging you...don't tell him.

[Shenzii]

Blaire could not hear Y's words. She looked at Chrono. "Nothing, just to know why I kept a connection with you. That was all. Nothing major. He asked why it was so important for me," She smiled and stood. "And I told him the truth. That's all."

[Entaru]

Y felt a surge of relief as he heard Blaire's words.  She didn't hear him, and yet she knew not to say anything.  Y layed down in his bed and let out a relieved sigh (or his equivalent to one).  Closing his eyes, he had only one thought.

Thank you...

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono nodded, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'll tell you what happened while you were speaking... the dragoness... she isn't even close to what she seems. Since you cut the link, she was able to hypnotize me... usually I could resist because I have such a strong-willed person like yourself connected to... but since you shut it I couldn't draw from it and repel her suggestion. She took me to her room, and then all I remember after that is being thrown out her room. As for Y, he is a mystery to me; he hates organics and has a rep for no mercy. But, why he would leave you unharmed even if it was just a few questions. Well, it just puts things in a different light, but I'll keep being a jerk if he wants it that way..."Chrono realized how long he spoke and felt his jaw drop. "Did I breathe at all during that talk?"

[Shenzii]

Blaire heard his thank you. She smiled gently. You're secret is safe with me. No one will ever know. She 'said'. Her link completely undetected by any others who had some kind of link. She looked at Chrono and her smile turned into baring of her sharp white teeth. "How dare she...." She relaxed and looked down. "I had to cut off the link. I didn't want to but I knew I had to." She looked back up. "He is very demanding and will use fear to get the best of most of organics. But He is somewhat reasonable when you lose all anger, or fear towards him. It wasn't entirely easy. He is as you say unmerciful. Sometimes a bit harsh with words. But in an odd way, reasonable."
