Flash of the past
Lawless gaped at the musician who had just kicked the wall down, then placing a weak Yuno down " what? Nothing to say when we're face to face? Pull yourself together" licht glared " I've been thinking, I don't care whether your immortal or not, it's my duty as an angel to kill you, here and now" he said " any last words? For me lawless?" He asked as his
He laughs " yeah yeah yeah, alright, that's kind of crazy talk I'd expect from someone like you" he smirked while looking down " a self proclaimed angel wants me dead, what really you should be buried here before you screw anything else up!" He bursts out of his binds " my gloomy angel, I don't know what makes you think your so damn important...haven't I made it clear that your life is just as insignificant in this world?"
" don't pretend like I'm not special" licht glared
" jekylland-Licht Todoroki!" A sword materialises in lawless hand " I'll prove how meaningless is by killing you..."
As licht took a step, his piano lead appears " your the one who's going to die...you bastard"
A whole fight broke out between the two, meanwhile Yuno was getting worse ' why did this have to happen...' she was still conscious, ringing in her ears, so it was heard to hear what the two guys were saying
Meanwhile
The subclasses and the pride pair felt the rumbling
" what is that?!" Hugh exclaimed
" the whole building is shaking" shamrock says
" huh...sounds like something bad is happening next door" higan says picking his ear
With minene
She gasped and stopped running from where she was, the tremor was literally next to her ' what is that?'
" well well well" she gasped hearing an older sounding sounding voice " I leave the others to handle the SerVamp of pride, and what do I find? Another witch sneaking past"
She took a defensive position " moon!" She summons and the animal appears bearing his fangs' this guy, he must be higan!' She glared
" come looking for your friends?" He questioned " well I'm afraid I'm gonna have to stop you here" he says
" do you think you can?" She glared
Back in the cell
The two throw attacks at eachother, both panting 'what the hells wrong with me?...' lawless thinks ' my body feels so..heavy...and my wounds are healing really slowly...but if I'm in this bad of shape...he must be much worse, after all he's only human...' he looks at licht who's panting with his leg raised and his lead boot glowing
' let's get this over with' licht charges him, he was ready to stab him, it was still the same, both throwing attacks that the other blocked it dodged, but licht finally averted lawlesses attack and stepped on his face, cracking his glasses
"How do you like being crushed beneath my boot...hedgehog" suddenly near his left eye started bleeding, and he jumped back confusing lawless ' what was that?' He got up and saw licht hunched down, clenching the area that hurt before shaking his head ' are you alright my angel?'
' why are you getting up? You'll die if we keep fighting...just give up already...'
Licht glared and him and a small laugh escapes his lips " okay, that's enough"
" huh?" Licht looks at him confused " how about we decide to agree to disagree" he tosses his sword and it evaporated " to be honest I'm over this fight, you really are amazing licht, no wonder why minene took a liking to you, you set your mind to it and you can do anything" he stops when he e
Hears licht laughing
" wait what's so funny?" He asked
" agree to disagree?...your a coward. That's just something people say when their wrong" licht smirks " you don't haven even the motivation to fight for yourself..."
Lawless stated in shock " listen angel babes, I'm just trying to teach you something about real life here, you and me and Everyone else are just Anonymous part of a faceless
" anonymous?" Licht scoffs " everyone in the world is their own person....well actually no, that's not true, your not a real person hedge hog, you strut around the stage but the only things you spout are tired old lines, you don't even have a real name" lawless stood with his eyes darkened " I'll teach you a lesson before I end you, your defined by what you want and how hard you work to getting it, your dream that's what creates character, it what really makes a person, or even a vampire unique, you want nothing, and you have no ambition,You can't call any life meaningless, Not unless your doing something with your own you idiot!" Licht yelled " The one and only SerVamp of greed" lawless takes of his broken glasses " what a joke! You don't have a single desire" licht smirks "you may think your special, but your the worst of all, If anyone is worthless it's you!" He charges at him
Lawless lofts his head up revealing the red in his eyes " shut your mouth!!!" He yells as darkness catches licht " you know nothing about me damn it!!!!!" He shrieks
Suddenly the scenery changes and a curtain opens revealing a kingdom
The wind blows softly in the orchard, a little hedgehog comes running through the grass. "Ophelia!" It squeaks "Cmon Where'd you run off too!?"
"Stop!" Instructed a female voice.
The hedge hog turns into his human form, looking around for the princess.
"Now take Take two big steps back!" Lawless obeys as a girl falls into his arms from the top of the tree, the blonde maiden smiles " nice catch" she giggled.
"Look there's the princess!" Two children run to her " how'd it go?" The boy asked " were you able to get anything?"
" yes the biggest fruit on the tree! Here you go!" their eyes widen in amazement at the big, ripe fruit she plucked from the tree.
" Ophelia!" He exclaimed
She laughs " that's right I didn't thank you for breaking my fall"
As the sun sets in the distance, Lawless flies over the city, Ophelia once again in his arms as they travel towards the castle. "Isn't it beautiful?" She asks him, looking down at the city as they fly. "My kingdom gets bigger every day, and all I hope for is peace in our future."
"Yeah, sure," He says. "Have you gotten heavier, Ophelia?"
"I'm just growing up, that's apart of human life." She says, dismissing his odd statement.
All she wanted was peace for her country. The two countries soon went to war, and it couldn't be stopped.
There was usually only one way to end a war, and, unfortunately... She turned to that.
"I'm engaged." She says. Lawless's shocked expression was clear on his face. "I have to marry the neighboring country's prince. I'm sorry, Lawless, we just can't handle the conflict at our borders, this was the only way to bring peace." Lawless grasps her hands in his and holds them tightly, he doesn't flinch when he looks her dead in the eye.
"We can run away!" He suggests. "It's insane to marry someone you barely know for something like that! We can do what we want!" Ophelia looks down at the ground, avoiding his gaze. "I'm afraid there is only one thing I want..." "Good, lets go out and get-"
"I want peace for this country and its people," She tells him
Time skip
The Prince and princess were married waving down at the people
' Well... She got her peace. The countries were now tied by their marriage.....But, it didn't last long.'
The congressman chatter amongst themselves, arguing over what they should do with the princess after her country started the war again. "We should kill her! Let's make an example of her!" One shouted. "Execute the princess!" Little did they know, the hedgehog was glaring at them as they decided the fate of the poor princess
"Ophelia!" He shouts to her. "We have to go, they're going to-" "No," She states firmly, turning to him. "I have to stay here." "Are you crazy?! The king himself has refused to let you go alive!" He bellows, trying to make her go with him. "Please just run away, I can protect you-" "If this is the sacrifice I must make to stop the conflict, then I will make it." She informs him. His face softens down, tears start to form in his eyes.
Why does she never listen? How come she didn't see that he loves her too much to let her do this to herself? "I will become a symbol of peace," She continues. "My death will help people realize that peace is needed to end their suffering." She wipes away a tear from his eye, cupping his cheeks, and giving him a warm smile. "Please... Just... I can just murder them all-" "But you won't," She tells him. "You know I desire this with all my heart, I know you won't take that away from me..."
Time skip
Lawless watched as she walked up to the stand, thousands of people in the crowds to witness her execution.
The people are muttering, Lawless tries to drown them out, but there are two many voices. "Why would they want to kill her?" "It's a shame."
"To think they would execute Princess Ophelia." "People of both countries!" She shouts to the crowd. "I didn't come here because I had no choice, I came here voluntarily. I wanted to show you that I'm willing to give up my life for the sake of peace for all of you, because I want you all to live happy lives without danger. This is my final sacrifice! Hopefully, you all will give peace a chance. And if you lament over my death... Please, plant olive trees of peace." The executioner raised his sword. "I love all of you." were her final words.
" Ophelia!!!!!!"
He stayed there, for decades, looking after her statue, ruefully crying as he remembered he gained no happiness after losing her.
'You got what you wanted in the end Ophelia.
You really did make peace a reality....even so I find no happiness in that...'
. "This is why I told you never to fall in love, Lawless," A short vampire appeared in front of Lawless, his face stoic and serious
"Old Child, have you come to mock me?," He addressed him.
Old Child handed him an envelope " there's an urgent matter at hand" lawless opens it.
"All seven siblings want to discuss this issue together"
" okay, and what are we deciding?" Lawless asked " you know what never mind, do whatever you want" he grumbled
"Sleepy Ash wants to discuss everyone's opinion on the subject
." The siblings argued over what should be done about C3's request, Lust, Envy, and Pride voted yes to killing him, while Lawless, Wrath, and Gluttony said no to it. All eyes were on Sleepy Ash, his vote would decide their creator's fate.
He couldn't believe what he was hearing, the eldest brother...
. Lawless grabbed Sleepy Ash's collar, forcing him to make eye contact. "What is wrong with you brother?" He questions. "Do you really hate him that much...?"
"I don't hate him..." Sleepy Ash replied, looking away from his brother. "This is the only way-" "What if you're wrong about that?" Lawless interrupts, letting all the words slip. "Stop acting like a tragic hero! Do you really think you can kill the man who created you?"
Time skip
Even though he wanted to stop him, he didn't stop him
' I returned to your country later...' his eyes were widened in shock at the destruction
' peace had disappeared completely, the two lands you brought together...were in ruins...destroyed utterly by a neighbouring country...I wonder what your a symbol of now?' He watched as the statue crumbled
He hugs the broken torso " everything is fine...Ophelia...I'm not sad...I finally get it....not just you...no ones life has any meaning in the end...nothing lasts forever..." it starts to rain " she is dead~" he starts singing in a sad voice ' your life wasn't the only one without consequences...'
He starts dancing around while singing, he was broken ' everything in the world is completely meaningless'
Then starts devouring the statue he held ' we're all just actors putting on a worthless show...'
The curtains fell over the ending scene, licht sat in that seat in silence, but then heard clapping.
"Bravo! Bravo!" Licht turn his head to find an odd, orange figure sitting next to you " how wonderful!" He starts blowing his nose, if he had one... " It made me weep! You know it's truly a moving story when you can't help but cry your eyes out!"
"You really are pathetic aren't you you rotten hedgehog?" He addressed while getting up, it stopped praising the play and looked at him as he walked " shut up"
"Hey Wait, you actually recognise me?"
"Immediately...but I stand by what I said" he said walking towards the stage " the only one worth nothing is you..."
"Wait, where are you going?" Lawless asks you " you can't just leave this place" he said
. "It's my turn" he jumps into the stage " now take your seat" lawless looked down and saw the chair underneath him
Licht pulled off a black cloth to reveal a grand piano in all its greatness,
" even an idiot like you can listen" he was now sitting at the piano in A suit " so be my audience of one"
" hey I have a question, why do you play the piano?" Lawless asked as licht touched one of the keys
He starts playing " I made a promise to a friend, and I eventually decided that I'd keep it, I'll do anything I can to fulfil it, I can see them, in my head, every one in the world being moved to tears by my performance, I can hear it too, the sound of their tears dripping down onto their applauding hands, that's what your missing" licht says
" imagination?" Lawless guesses
" and an achievable dream created by it" licht adds
" hey...I don't wanna hear any sad songs right now...make this a happy place?"
" I can't decide if this place is happy or sad, feel however you want, it's up to you"
Licht started to play Fur Elise " this is fur Elise..." lawless gasped " did you know it was supposed to be Therese instead of Elise? but Beethoven had bad handwriting..." He chuckled to himself " it's...kind of a famous story, he wrote her this love song even though they couldn't be together because of their separate classes....that's the...popular interpretation at least but...licht...I don't like this song" his voice quivered " it's far to tragic..."
" it's not the song that's tragic" licht says continuing to play
" then...why am I crying?...." tears were dripping off lawless " I'd it me?...am I the one?...who's sad?..." he starts becoming spiky
"I...i am..." he starts hearing what must have been the inner voices of his heart
" your are a young boy...you are a old woman...you are flowers...your a space...you are me and In tern am you" licht states
" right..." lawless mutters " actually...I could have become anything I wanted to.."
" start now" licht ordered " imagine what your always wanted"
' I know I am' in lawless imagination, he held onto Ophelias hand ' I'm the one who wanted to never let go of your hand, I'm the one who wanted to keep you safe, I'm the one who wanted to protect wanted to protect what you wanted to protect, I'm the one who wanted to tell you...that i was...in love with you Ophelia....why didn't I?...Why didn't I try to become anything?...'
Law less
" to be lawless is to do whatever you want, you don't live up to your name" licht said
' I shouldn't have let go of your hand, no matter what, there must have been someway for us to both have got what we wanted at the same time....why couldn't I imagineer and create it?! Come on! Step forward! Cmon! Want something!'
He starts thinking ' I...I don't want this overgrown baring human to die in a place like this!....or that pink haired girl!...I want to ask brother why he really killed that person!...I want to tell him that's I still regret that I didn't stop him!...that I don't forgive him for what he did!... I want to look him in the eye...and tell him how I really feel about it!....Ophelia...wherever Ever you may be sleeping...I wanna show you that I....I...'
He fixed his glasses onto his face ' i loved Ophelia...' his smirk returned ' I won't give up on anything else! No rules or people will hold me down! Quantity of love! Make up my sum!'
" lawless of greed!" Licht yelled " reach out your hand and grab your dream!" As lawless reached out " want it! Want it! Want it!"
And with that they busted down the wall " want it...Hyde" licht with his foot out and holding the unconscious girl standing with lawless outside their cell
" oh wow" a familiar voice of a old man said Stepping forward, they looked and saw higan " you guys made it out on your own, and carrying the girl no less" he smirked, his land lights up with fire " I sorry licht, but looks like this old man is gonna have to beat you to shreds one more time"
While lawless stated confused " who is this walking corpse?" His expression changed to a smirk " whoever he is, licht enemy is my too!-" licht kicks him " can it hedge hog" he glared
