You've Really Lost Your Mind

Characters: Naoya and YOUR BRAVE PARTY OF anyone who wants to help with his Shadow
Setting: Forest Level, 12th of September
Format: Starting with prose, but we can switch it up
Summary: Someone's realizing his so-called twin brother is not really the twin he was looking for.
Warnings: BROTHERRRRRRR

How could he have been this foolish and let it linger on for so long?

Even if he already knew the answer, Naoya's steps felt heavy with each he took, Amon-Ra and Vishnu trying to reassure him that they'd defeat him. He already knew it was his shadow now...so why was it still here?

The forest area, he had said. Old memories if when him and Maki had walked on the journey to meet another shadow a while ago...this was no chance selection of the battleground. And he was right; the place had been completely transformed by the fog and the Shadow's will. The trees took on an 8-bit pixelated look, pink in color.

But even worse, an old model of the MSX machines stood before them; he'd spent countless hours on it, playing games...



After reading it, his hand clenched into a fist.

"He's right. I can't risk any of you in this." After all, the first time it had only been him and Maki.

It seems to do the trick. The spell hits Maki full on, and in a surprised gasp, she clutches her neck and falls to the ground.

"Ha ha ha! Already? Geeze Maki here I thought you were much stronger than that! Aren't you the girl who had the guts to actually kiss Naoya on the cheek? Oh wait, never mind, that wasn't really you. That was only your dream self! Well, I think that wasn't entertaining enough, so hope you're ready for round two!"

And earthquake moves everything around them, as the earth itself swallows the dead shade up whole up to her head, before finally forming into a creature. It blinks before roaring at her, the front moving like a snake while it used all of its arms to keep itself in an upwards position.

"Oh yes, such courage."

Chidori's voice is sarcastic, considering her own lack of courage on the subject at hand, and she rolls her eyes, preparing to turn and target him instead. She doesn't get the chance as the defeated shade changes, and while externally all she does is raise an eyebrow, internally everything in her just seizes with revulsion.

"Really."

Her voice is still dry and deadpan, but she's clutching her axes a little tighter, lips pressing together. The spell is dodged, though barely, and Chidori growls before calling on Medea again. Hopefully a Marakunda spell will do her some kind of good here.

"Compared to you, small talk, I suppose. Who knew you could kiss so passionately? Too bad my brother will never get to enjoy that, ha ha!"

He waited as Pandora dodged, before advancing it's gigantic frame towards Chidori, attempting to hit her with all it's hands.

"Yes, really. That's one of Maki's forms, actually. Quite a story huh? The final foe in his story was an aspect one girl who liked him! All she wanted to do was destroy the world..."

Her face heated up at the mockery, but she tried to keep herself calm, tossing her hair over her shoulder with a huff.

"Don't confuse my shadow and I too much, Kazuya. You aren't worth that kind of attention, so don't flatter yourself."

She could dodge one or two arms striking at her, but not as many as this thing had, and the hit send her back a few feet, stumbling but not quite falling. She gave a little shudder of distaste at that thing laying its hands on her, and then planted her feet firmly, glaring.

"A bit melodramatic, don't you think?" She whipped one of her axes forward aiming for the hands that had just struck her, a sneer on her face. "Or maybe just pathetic."

"Oh she was pathetic! Bedridden for most of her teenager years, she suffered from dementia and bleeding. Always in pain...when she wasn't she would often paint disturbing still-life pictures, or escapes into her "Ideal" world. Just waiting for her so-called friends to come see her each day, alone..."

The monster hissed at her, but Chidori's axe found their mark, and two ands were clearly cut of from the monster's arms. It let out an unholy scream in the air.

Compared to it's black and white desaturated color, the blood is bright red and looks all-too-real.

"No wonder she was a prime candidate for the DEVA system! Poke and prodded and tested on by scientists without her consent and then used in a plot for Kandori to attain godhood...do any of those things ring a bell for you?"

He paused, as Pandora prepared its next attack.

"It's easy to see she was able to creat her own world...yet pity that she wasn't even the real Maki. She's too sick for that, but thanks to the powers of the DEVA system, the city was changed and her dreams could come to life...at the price of everything else."

Maki's mouth slithered closer to the ground, opened, and shot out a Bufudyne spell at her.

"That's not what makes her pathetic."

Chidori braced herself against the cold, shaking bits of ice from her sleeves afterward and grateful that she wasn't weak to it, summoned Medea for a Mind Charge. She could sympathize with this girl's condition- sickly and weak, used as an experiment, retreating into herself... all things Chidori herself had been and done, to a degree. But she'd never let herself get to such a point where she'd been capable of anything like that. She'd tried, instead, to make herself stronger, make herself better- she'd done her best to keep herself grounded, and the rest of Strega had helped with that immensely. The family she'd made had been enough for her- but clearly having her friends wasn't enough for this Maki.

It was-

"So selfish. That's what makes her pathetic. She would go that far to get her way? How about learning to get over herself instead?"

She summoned Medea again and, only partway as effective or no, shot off an Agidyne.

I don't want pity. It just makes me more miserable...I deserve to die!

"Funny you should say that," the voice replied back. "That was Maki's grand speech when they found her again."

Suddenly, the creature groaned from the fire, and it was cooked alive. The screams drowned out as the middle shell moved and something burst forth, a greenish butterfly.

Pandora's final form.

It stared down at Chidori as it if was an insignificant child.

"You know, that form nearly ended all of the world. I suppose it can just end you for now, instead."

Pandora moved her hands and began to cast a Mazandyne at her, the energy being sapped out from nearby to go into it.

"She won't miss. Well, you Strega always said that you weren't afraid of dying. Let's see how true that is when you feel your skin start to bubble up."

The attack flew from her hands directly into the other girl. But before it could touch her, a white force field reflected right back at her.

[REFLECT]

"That's impossible! The attack should have destroyed your body! How did this happen?!" The shade clutched its chest, the wings burning off and leaving her to fall on the ground.

Chidori, on the other hand, would hear a voice in her head. It was Maki's, free from the taint that the shade had given her, and memories from Naoya's time with her.

Hold it right there! Where do you think you're running off to? I won't have you say that from my own mouth! Did you ever try to change? How? All you did was hide under the sheets and cry! But now's our chance! We can change along with everyone else!

You just have to get over yourself!I won't run away anymore!...I'll own up to the mistakes I've made!

...Thank you, Naoya. I hope you'll still think about me once in a while...Goodbye...I love you...


A whitish glow healed up all of the other's wounds and left her with a boost of power for both her and Medea. Just in time as the shade got up again, preparing another spell...but it was as if all her movements had become too slow.
