MÄR-Heaven: Chess's Third Reich

[GamerKale]

Milly had curled up to sulk since his vote had been completely ignored. He watched Saito's fight with one eye. He's not completely worthless it seems, but I'd still rather have someone I know is a decent fighter be the captain. He tried to take a nap during Emoto's fight, but he could feel the eyes of his soon to be opponent's eyes boring into him. After Emoto's fight he hops up to the arena, finally looking at his opponent. He looks vaguely familiar. Have I stolen from him before?

Rachel had crept up to the edge to see Milly's fight. "Th-th-that's Lauz's big brother." "Yes it is. I guess Zan wants to try and get revenge for his brother." Rachel looks back down at the fight her eyes wide.

Millintica hops to the side as Zan tries to smash his little furry foe. He's quite anxious to try and kill me. Maybe I did steal from him, although I can't imagine he'd of noticed.And even if he did, I doubt I look the same right now as I did then. Milly continues dodging the big man. He's got an awful lot of stamina, doesn't he? The little ref finally sticks his head out, "Uh, you may begin." He then ducks out of sight again just before a large rock is sent flying at his head.

"Why doesn't he fight back?" "He's not big on people knowing he can transform, is he?" "Well, I guess that's true, but does he really intend to die to keep that a secret?" "Maybe. He's awful quick though, even as a cat, and I think I see Zan starting to breathe heavier."

Zan had pushed Milly to the edge and attempts to kick him. Milly hops up onto Zan's leg and then jumps up to his head and pushes him out of the arena. Milly scurries over to Saito before Zan can pick himself back up. The little announcer sticks his head up briefly, "Winner, uh the black cat." Zan picks the announcer up by the throat. "No way, did I lose to a cat. I'm still alive, this fight isn't over!" "B-b-but you were knocked out of the battle area and the rules clearly say that you lost."

Hei came towards the queen, offering a hand up. "It's alright, things will be done soon." She nodded, lifting herself up to see a few pawns looking towards her worried.

"I'm just fine." They seemed happier, following her into the room as they began to talk to Agatha. Chi closed her own eyes and stood up, standing near the door while trying to keep herself calm.

"Agatha-san...does this mean...that you will die with such honor" She muttered, her hands at her sides weakly as she turned to watch again. Agatha was not happy about death, but it would liberate her from the pain of living so long.

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Garnet yawned, "Lauz? Either way...that's three down, the fourth fight is a giveaway" he stretched his arms and kissed Lilith on her cheek, "I don't need to watch them kill another Rook."
_____

Saito helped Ayame using Healing angel, then ran over to Zan, two beams of red cut through him, then at Ayame, Oniko stood infront of Saito, "They lost, they deserve to die." He turned around and then took a great leap, onto a wall, where he stood to watch the match again. The young girl from the stand jumped ontop of a man's head and shouted loudly, "All he was doing was making sure they didn't die!" Oniko shouted back at her, "He killed his opponent." She fell forward, ontop of another man, who through her forward, "Ow..."
_____

Ai looked out of the window, and put little Saito on the bed provided, then returned to the window, "Stupid Oniko..."

[GamerKale]

Lilith doesn't look up from the blood pooling beneath Zan's corpse for a moment and then turns to Garnet and throws herself on him. "If you want me, kitten. I hope you like to play rough." She bites down hard on his ear and tears a chunk off. She then kisses him on the cheek leaving a very bloody mark. She chews the bit of ear for a moment before spitting it out. "Shall we continue?" She asks as the blood drips from her lips.

Rachel takes several steps away from Lilith. She didn't want to get her clothes stained nor did she want to get involved, she had seen the aftermath of some other women that had tried to intervene with Lilith's play before. And there was a reason Lilith didn't have any past lovers.

Was that entirely necessary? I mean, I know he lost, and was being a sore loser, but did he really have to kill him like that? Milly licks his leg and then spits out a hairball. Bleh, I need another real bath.

[nobodyknows]

Emoto looked at Ayane with expressionless eyes. the beams of red had barely missed her vital organs, healing angel had kept her safe, and the herbs he'd given to her were starting to take effect. he looked at Oniko with a heartless glare, then turned away, walking back up towards Surame, and taking the seat next to her. she leaned on him, looking bored,"you managed to keep my attention. well done.." Emoto looked up,"you get the feeling that someone's watching us?" Surame sighed,"nope... and if there is something watching, then I don't care.." she breathed on Emoto's neck,"I know you get more flustered if there's someone watching me do this to you..." Emoto shut his eyes, trying to ignore Surame's teasing. his face gradually turned from red to crimson. his lips quivered as Surame licked his neck. she then stopped, whispering in his ear,"what happens next all depends on how well you do in the next few rounds.. and your imagination.."

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Garnet sighed before biting Lilith's shoulder equally as hard, but not tearing her skin off, "Nah, I don't like it when they bite." He smiled and then pushed her away. He stood up again and then looked to Rachel, then back at Lilith, and finally at the girl who was thrown onto the stage.
_____

The girl shivered as a man nearly twice her size and made of stone stood before her, "So I'll kill her?" He punched down hard, and pieces of the stage flew up and fell back in pieces. "Ah!" She yelled and ran to the opposite side of the stage, "Don't kill me!" She shouted as she avoided his attacks miserably. She picked up a piece of the stage he'd destroyed and threw it at his head, hitting him in the eye, "Dammit!" She threw another piece of debris, and with that, he fell to one knee. "One more!" He glared at her and flung out at her, but she ducked and he fell off the stage, a red beam sliced him in half, "...Um...The villager wins?" He said as the girl jumped up and hugged Milly tightly, "I won!"

[GamerKale]

Ghah! Can't breathe. He tries to squirm away but can't. Yes, yes you won. But is it really necessary to kill me to prove it? He finally goes limp. She'll let go...eventually. I hope.

Lilith licks her lips. "Oh come now Garnet." She wraps her arms around his neck tightly. "I've heard the stories, you like to play rough. Don't be so stingy." She licks his ear and whispers into it. "Doesn't the pain make it more exquisite?"

Rachel leaves Lilith and Garnet alone. He went and bit her back. Oh well, I didn't like him anyways. She makes her way to the garden and starts helping the old gardener plant some flowers. Not that I like guys in general. Although this one seems alright, and Milly is well Milly.

[Helbaworshipper]

Agatha stood up a bit stronger than before, bowing. "I'll be back Kami-sama after a little time with.." She felt Hei's arm come around her. "Oh, you're coming with me?" He nodded, the two leaving off towards where Ai and Saito were.

----

The queen went to where Rakuen and Tala were, holding her chest again as she found herself feeling weak. She freed them immediately, still holding her chest and standing with some effort. "You're lucky...I can't sustain too much right now." She spoke, her one hand holding a wall. "When...will it all be over?"

----

Chi was walking towards the private room she had requested for time to think. However, she didn't noticed that she had bumped into Saito as she walked. She was in deep thought.

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Everyone had cleared the arena, and the girl was now a part of the games, and had pilfered two the man's ÄRM. Oniko swept down to the stage, personally cutting up the bodies on the arena to shreds.
_____

Garnet smiled, "Not really." He activated his ÄRM, knocking her back as he flew away, towards Phase. "...I think I messed up..."
_____

The girl squeezed Milly Tightly before running in the Castle provided to them, "Can I really Enter it Mister?" The announcer nodded, "I suppose you've proven your worth." She grinned and took Milly with her.
_____

Saito looked to Chi, "I- Oh wait, I remember you..." His eyes had dimmed down.
_____

Rakuen went by the Queen's side, "Are you alright my Queen?" Tala blinked, "Queen?" Rakuen nodded, "She is the Queen, and you must treat her with respect"

[Helbaworshipper]

'This must be what Agatha-sama is holding in...' Her eyes looked up at Rakuen, still holding her chest as she went to her knees. After a few moments, she stood up and began walking out of the room, more effort needed each step. "I can't stand this...why...why am I so weak right now? Why is she so weak right now?" She muttered, falling to her hands and knees, getting up again. "Is this really...how it ends?"

----

Chi said nothing, shrugging as she continued walking. She was still not paying attention.

----

Agatha and Hei arrived at the room that Ai and Saito were, knocking on it lightly.

[nobodyknows]

Emoto watched in disgust as Oniko tore the bodies to shreds in front of the onlooking crowd. Surame wasn't bothered, and continued to cling onto Emoto, who was starting to boil up inside. he eventually stood up, walked down towards the stage, grabbed Oniko's head and punched it hard, almost hard enough to dislocate his jaw. He stood tall, completely void of the crowd's gaze as he glared at Oniko,"you sick bastard.. at least give some respect to the dead... let alone your own team-mates.." he clenched his fist as his eyes glowed purple,"or do I have to teach you myself?"

-------------------------------------------------------------

Surame looked down at the stage, slightly intrigued by Emoto's act of chivalry. she whistled as Emoto hit Oniko square in the face, then leant on the edge of her seat, eager to see what kind of development would take place..

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Oniko shrugged off the hits, "Fight me in the arena, I'd prefer that kind of fight better, and besides, they have no right to live if they can't beat a punk like you, a cat, and a little girl." He grabbed Emoto's hand and a red beam went through it, "Either you or Ai will be my opponent in the future rounds." He said slamming his sword into Ayane's skull. "You should be lucky I'm the one doing this." He picked up his blade, and swung it hard, so that the blood flew off it.
_____

Rakuen followed the Queen, "Tala, find out and tell me about the games."
_____

Saito sighed and continued on his own way to his room, a loud squeal could be heard as he passed the girl's room, "I got ÄRMs kitty!" She smiled and kissed Milly on his nose.
_____

Ai opened the door, wearing an evening gown for the most part, "Do you want to talk to Saito?" She said looking at little Saito

[Helbaworshipper]

Agatha nodded, her weakened state obvious to someone who could look in her eyes. "Yes, if it wouldn't be too much to ask." Her voice was strong enough to hide her true state though. Hei stood beside her, making sure he could catch her if she started to fall down.

----

The Queen kept moving, it taking even more effort to keep going. Her eyes were half lidded, and her breathing was getting deeper.

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Ai nodded, "Wake up Saito, Agatha's gonna play with you for a bit, I'll stay here and fix up the room a bit." She said smiling as Saito woke up, his hair and clothes in a cute mess.
_____

Rakuen went by her side, "My Queen are you feeling ill? I'll help you to your room if you like."
_____

Tala looked outside, "Oniko? What's he doing down there? Is that a contestant? He was probably wa-" She noticed four dead bodies. "Those are ours...Did we lose the first round?"

[Helbaworshipper]

"I'm not ill you fool!" She whacked Rakuen once strongly, falling back as the hammer went back to the bracelet on her arm. "I'm...going to die soon..." She fell back against the floor, her body now unconscious.

----

Agatha picked up Saito, Hei making sure she had a good grip as she walked along with him. "I'm sorry I couldn't watch your match with you. It must have been scary...seeing that man die."

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Rakuen hit the wall then the floor, his mask fell off, but he quickly put it back on, "My Queen!" He picked her up and placed her over his shoulder, "I will return you to your throne."
_____

Little Saito nodded, "It was...I killed him...what if I kill more people? Isn't killing a bad thing?" He said with tears in his eyes.
_____

Saito arrived at his room, and lied on the bed, closing his eyes, seeing the conflict below from his room.

[nobodyknows]

Oniko was unphased by the beam in his shoulder. he continued to glare at Oniko, slowly working his way into Oniko's mind,"you picked the wrong person to piss off.." he lifted up his hand as if throwing off a cloak, and Oniko was suddenly flung into a pillar. Emoto looked at his shoulder wound, then at the skulls of the contestants.

suddenly, a vivid image of a woman appeared in his head. his mind went numb, then voices echoed in every point of his skull, it was as if he was being pierced in his brain by numerous icy daggers. he screamed, then fell to his knees, clutching his head as the voices got louder, then they died down, and an image of Oniko was projected in front of him. what looked like fifty red beams were all flying at him, and he was completely unprepared, then, at the moment they hit him, the image vanished. Emoto looked around, seeing that Oniko was still lying near the pillar. he shuddered,"what... was that... just now... what happened? did he actually attack me, or..." he looked at his reflection in the blood on the floor. purplish mist seemed to be seeping from his eyes,"that's never happened before.. what's going on?"

[Helbaworshipper]

"Killing...." Agatha's eyes clouded over a little, thinking. "Killing is natural in our human instincts. We kill to survive when we have to. Some do it unnecessarily." She kissed his forehead gently. "That is why...that is why killing is so lost in purpose. It never...never makes sense." Her body almost fell back, being caught by Hei. She nodded she was alright, still walking as she spoke again. "As long as you are alive, there are those who you will kill. That is how it is."

----

'This power...this weakness is easy for her to deal with. I...I can't feel any power inside me anymore. It feels like everything has become limp, I try to get up and it hurts more. I can get up...but my energy is wavering too much. I can't figure out if I have enough or not at the same time. Hei and the others might be able to handle this too. I must bear with it...' The queen's eyes opened slowly, her body slower to react. "I hit...someone and..." She muttered, looking around.

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Oniko stood up, glaring at Emoto, then kicking him in the face, "Mehitos!" the carnivorous plant attacked him, lifting him high off the ground, then going in for the kill, before a flaming dragon wrapped around it and let Emoto fall 40 meters from the ground.
_____

"...But what if I kill someone with a family Miss Demeter, isn't that bad?" he stopped crying, but tears still clung to his cheeks.
_____

Rakuen stood across the room from her throne, "You passed out."

[Helbaworshipper]

"Everyone is connected." Agatha smiled, gently stroking his hair as she sat down now. "Everything in this world is connected because it exists to us. So in the end...everyone is part of a huge family."

----

"I did...so it's true. That's what death feels like when it finally comes to get you. Even though I'm..." Her voice drifted a bit. "Even though I'm just a reflection..."
