DeathMatch: Tournament of Blood

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono was now reading yet again the book he salvaged from his family's house. It was an oddity of both logic and technology, for the book was only as thick as though it had only three-hundred pages; but he had long passed the thousand page mark. Normally I would be dumbstruck as to how he pulled it off, but I should get used to it after he had pre-made designs of the armor I now wore...

[Shenzii]

Blaire walked in and sat on his bed. "Y, there is something I need to say." She looked at him. She continued. "I'm not who I appear to be. I'm not collected, I'm not a savior of bad nature. I am of bad nature. And I think you should know, that I want to change. And I want to help you change." She looked at her hand where blood still remained.

[Entaru]

Y sat up in his bed, having woken up when Blaire sat down.  He didn't know what to say...he had always thought her to be kind and gentle...nothing like he and Chrono.  Now she was confessing to being almost exactly like them.  Thinking about it, Y supposed it was logical.  She was here after all.  Y looked down at the blood on her hands and clutched it in his own.

[Shenzii]

"I murdered someone. Brutally. Tore them apart. The rage was sweet on my tongue. But I'm not that person anymore... I don't know what happened." She looked at him sadly. "It was a child. I deserve to die."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

He was still browsing through his book when he heard a gun click nearby, he put the book down and saw a barrel right in front of his face. "One, who are you; second, what the heck did I do wrong now?" he knew it was for the murder he had cleaned Blaire from, but his face lied with innocence.

[Entaru]

Y brushed his hand across Blaire's cheek.  "Don't say that...you are a wonderful person.  You remember how I use to be?  Before I was caught originally, I destroyed an entire city...everyone died.   They blamed it on a nuclear meltdown because of how terrible it was.  Don't beat yourself up over a slight slip up...even if it was a child.  You may be dangerous but you'll never deserve to die."

[Shenzii]

"But now, I'm going to have to own up to it. A child, a mother and fathers pride and joy. Their love, destroyed." She looked at him and hugged him tightly. "I don't know what to do."

[Entaru]

Y pet her hair as he held her.  His thoughts processed at the speed of light, as he tried to think of a way to help Blaire.

Y???  wwWhHhAAaaTtt AaARe YyoOOUUu DDddooooIIinnNgG?

Y closed his eyes as his decision was made.  His nanites quickly got to work removing the blood from Blaire's hands and began to cover themselves in it.  Without a word, Y stood up and looked at Blaire sadly.

I'm sorry...

Y left Blaire on his bed and walked out of the arena.  He didn't want Blaire to be caught...he wanted Blaire to be happy.  She couldn't be happy if she was blamed for the murder.  She couldn't be happy if he kept coming between her and Chrono.  Y felt pieces of himsef begin to unlock, as safeguard after safeguard was shut down.  He felt something begin to well up inside of him, as it pushed past the barriers that had been set in place to keep it in.  Suddenly, in an ear-piercing screech, Y's eyes burned a deep crimson and his nanites began to mold and shift.

"HhahHAHahHaHHAHhHAHhaHHAHahHAHHAHhhAHAHaahhahahahahHAAHhahAHAHahhAhahAHAhAHahhAHAhaHAHhHAhAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!  fIInALlLYy!!!!!!  IIIi'Mmm  fRReeEeeee!!!"

[Shenzii]

Blaire cried. "NO! Y DON'T!" But it was too late. She fell to his bed and weep. Her tears did not cease. The pain shot through her angrily, forcefully. Her turned purple, black swirling out of her pupil. "No more fooling around Blaire. It's time you let go. No more childs play. It gets you no where. It's my Turn." A voice came bursting out of her. The figure was a black wolfess, Her eyes glowing purple. Her name was Ryn. Where the blue paw print had been, there was now a scar where nails had fallen. Her markings as purple as her eyes. She vanished as black and purple flames flicked about. She appeared behind where his attacker was standing. She flashed a white grin and with a quick movement the attacker was dead. She held her hand out to Chrono. "Come with me."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

His jaw dropped at the Blaire before him, not even caring what happened to the woman she just killed. "So now you can change your color and markings?!" he somewhat mumbled before taking her hand and getting up, letting the book turn back into fire and slip into his armor for future use.

[Shenzii]

"I am Ryn. Blaire was falling apart. It's my turn." She smirked and bit her lower lip. "Time for you to get a taste of the wild side Dragon boy." She smirked and walked away. "Well, are you coming?"

[Chrono Blackwyng]

"So, you're another part of her life that she forgot to mention?" He tightened his right hand into a fist as he caught up to her, trying to hold back a punch to the jaw. "Exactly what does this 'wild side' entail... Ryn?"

[Shenzii]

"I'm the side that Blaire held back, all her anger, frustration, sadness. That all became forced on to me. When she killed, she finally broke, cracked, like a dam under too much pressure. It was bound to happen. I'm just sad you couldn't see that. She let me come through. She was ill. All of her anger was bottled, trapped." She looked back at him. "I'm easier going. When something angers me, I don't just let it go. I resolve it. Something Blaire didn't know how to do."

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Chrono raised an eyebrow and his fist loosened up. "You seem more calm and controlled than what I'd expect... then again, you did kill without hesitation, just try to not kill everything that ticks you off" He stretched and felt the fire jet out his hands and into the ceiling before he relaxed both arms and let them drop to his sides.

[Shenzii]

"I didn't kill because I was angry. Blaire killed because I didn't want the weight of the world on my shoulders. I simply assisted in her collapse." Ryn said calmly. She spotted a tavern, far from the murder scene. "Would you like a drink?"
