MÄR-Heaven: Chess's Third Reich

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Garnet pulled the kitten off his head, "How cute, but biting isn't very nice you know..." he smiled at the kitten, "You kow what little girl, let's let the people speak." He put it down and patted it's head gently. "You know Rachel, I've been talking to you for half and hour and you haven't talked back." he said playing with her pigtails.

Ohase was back at the castle, giving Rakuen the masks and earrings. "They all died"

[Helbaworshipper]

Tamao looked towards the area they had left through the window. "What about him? Will he be alright?"

"Of course." Mitsu muttered, looking towards the sleeping Agatha. "Agatha-sama does not kill legends."

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Saito went out of his room to go downstairs and ask for his food to be cooked the way he liked it when he saw a woman in a kimono on the floor of the hall, "Miss are you okay?" He looked at her and carried her to his room, "Girls this age don't normally wear anything this plain." He said think her to be around 12 or 13, she looked really young, "Wake up..." he pushed her shoulder a bit. "I'll get her food and water." He said going down the stairs, "Excuse me miss, I need some food and water, and next time I order food I want it hot not warm or very hot."

[Helbaworshipper]

The woman opened her eyes, looking up at where she was, not sure what to say. "I was looking for Agatha-san as an observer and...now I'm here? I guess her request was for someone else."

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Saito returned to the room and saw the girl awake, "Are you okay, I got you food, I didn't touch you more than bringing you here, what happened to you, are you hungry anyway, I am if you aren't, I also got you something to drink." He said all in one sentence smiling, "How old are you? It isn't smart to be asleep on the hall floor." He said patting her head.

[Helbaworshipper]

"140." She spoke, confused at his actions. "I...I'm supposed to be the one who takes over after Agatha-san...but I'm not very good am I?" She leaned forward a bit. "I guess not everyone can be as cold as she makes herself be..."

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Saito's eyes opened widely, "140? That's fuuny you look so toung, maybe 14?" He said as he then addresses the next issue, getting a bit more hostile, "Wait you know Agatha? do you know where Tamao is?" He said as the food came in. "Um thanks just leave it here." He grabbed her shoulders, "Tell me what you know and now." He seemed to try acting tough be in the anyone else's eyes, the girl seemed more sure of what would happen.

[Helbaworshipper]

"About what? Agatha-san or her job? Or perhaps how spirits can be together?" She looked a bit nervous. "I'm not as cold as her and I don't eat either, you can have it."

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Saito sighed and sat back, "Anything you can..." he walked over to the food lifting the cover off of it and taking the fork, "So are you traveling with her too?" he sighed, Luna or Agatha or whatever said she was 240 years old and she claims to be 140...are they telling the truth?

Garnet smiled sitting beside her, "Now we are going to play my game, but here so everyone can see." He said pinning her down.

Rakuen too kthe masked, "Thank you..." So she killed them all, I need to get the rare ÄRM I was promised.

[Helbaworshipper]

"Legendary ARMS makers are supposed to be cold and heartless murderers, only living to make weapons and nothing else. We're raised to know that we can be replaced and that we are nothing more than another in a line of thousands." She looked sad stating this. "Agatha-san started when she was very young, 20. She had to because the one died early. We grow older every ten years, so I look 14."

"As for Tamao, she is a dead spirit with no memories. There's no way that you would ever be able to get something that is dead back to life. That is how it is, and how Tamao is not back. Tamao only serves her. We get to take dead spirits and use them until we die. Then they go back to the dead, where they belong."

"We're murderers, whores, anything you see as a crime, we have done it. We're nothing more than an existence with no end." By this time she was even more depressed. "Agatha-san can stay cold, but she is very lonely."

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Saito now felt bad for her, "Don't say that, if all you do is make ÄRMs then it's whoever is using them that is the murderer" he embraced her, "Please don't be depressed, you know what...Stay with me okay? That way no one will well...do you know of Chess?"

[Helbaworshipper]

She started to relax, the warmth new to her. "I...know that Agatha-san had to infiltrate Chess to get to a legend. That legend turned out to be someone named Garnet, he received his legendary ARM after...using her for his own pleasure. How could she just allow that to happen to her? I can't stay cold and allow such things..." Her hands remained at her sides. "I have a lot of free time since Agatha-san won't die any time soon."

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Saito's eye turned wide, "Ga-gar...Garnet?" He let her go, "So she...Garnet is in Chess...and she..." He sighed, "I'll have to kill her. And Garnet too...and now that I know they are in chess..." His eyes dulled, "...and you what have you done?" he looked saddened more than cold.

[Helbaworshipper]

"You can't kill Agatha-san!" She looked towards Saito and her eyes began to widen. "She was only doing her job! It's not like we have a choice to do what we want! She's not even a part of Chess!" She stood up, and walked towards the door. "Agatha-san is just as lonely as you are, don't you see? I can't imagine any reason that you would ever think it's her fault! You can't even use your legendary weapon to kill her since she's the creator and a friend to you." She began to open the door, her body trembling. She began to run down the hall, remembering the truth about the cold blooded woman.

"I don't know what you're talking about Chi." The blonde spoke with her usual blank tone as she sat down at the restaurant. "What did you need to see me for?"

"You have it so easy, even after so many years...how do you do it?"

"How do I do what?"

"Never feel anything?"

"Is that what you really think?" Agatha's eyes remained staring into Chi's. "Do you really think I never feel anything?"

"It's just that you..."

"You don't understand." She put her hands in her lap, looking at her with an almost saddening smile. "I...I'm the most emotional person of all. Every person that dies, I have to hold back tears. Every person that rapes me, I have to hold back my anger. Every life that gets taken...I have to make sure never to show it."

"Aga-" The woman's face was letting out tears, her head going to the table. Chi was glad she had chosen a concealed table now.

"Chi, I'm the worst person of all, the person who feels but cannot do anything about it." She stood up, wiping her eyes and walking off.

----

Agatha was sitting in the bath, her hands on her face as she let her emotions outside of her. "All this time, I thought I could get rid of these things... I can't though, can I?" She sighed and let her head lean back. "I wonder when I'll finally be free."

[GamerKale]

Rachel's mind once again goes blank at Garnet's closeness, and her eyes go wide with terror.

Aw, screw this. Millintica transforms behind Garnet's back and then grabs the side of the larger cat's head. "Hey Rachel, wanna see a magic trick?" He uses his Meow Meow Blast on him, sending him flying through the side of the maze and landing in the fountain, breaking the two dog statues atop it. He turns to Rachel. "I call it making someone disappear. Why don't you try making yourself disappear now?" With that he runs through the hole Garnet had made in the maze.

The gardener seeing Millintica pouncing on Garnet shouts down the corridor. "Cat fight in the garden! Come place your bets. The bishop Garnet or the unknown little red fur ball."

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Garnet smiled, his wings stabbed through Milly's arm, holding him back, "Knight Garnet, Knight!" he flicked the knight earring, "It's been a while old man." He held his hand out, "Garnet Claw." The claws extened each going into Milly's chest, "I liked cats, I don't like you however."

Saito sat back, he wanted to chase her, but he remained in bed. "...What is she saying? They both are telling me the same things...and this girl seemed to tell the truth..." He closed his eyes, "So Luna never cried for that reason...or showed emotion..." he sighed covering his face, "I am such an idiot"

[Helbaworshipper]

Chi remained sitting at the restaurant table, staring at a glass of water. "It's alright, Chi." Tamao spoke, sitting near her. "Agatha-san sends her regards." The girl nodded before letting the woman disappear with andata back to the boat.

"It's always like that..."

[GamerKale]

Milly just smiles. "knight bishop. What does it matter? You're going to die today. So what does it matter if they put knight or bishop or nothing on your gravestone? And I don't care if you like me or not. You're no cat, you're a dirty dog." He slashes through the wings in his left arm and grasps his ARM of flame as he then cuts through the ones in his chest. He creates a flame pillar beneath Garnet forcing him back, but the flames continue lapping at his feet and wings. As the flames absorb most of Garnet's attention he comes up from behind and takes a slash at the ear he tried to bite off earlier and cutting off some of it. Followed by a kick sending him flying through the fire pillar.

Rachel knew that Milly was fighting Garnet, and most likely getting killed by him, because of her. If only she could disappear all of this would be over. Subconsciously she activates the ARM old man winter had given to her earlier. It makes her and everything else on her person invisible.

Creating a very large wall of flames Milly races back to where he left Rachel. Where'd she go? I guess she actually managed to move. Good for her, now all I have to do is get away myself. Running up several boxes and partially up the wall he pushes off and catches onto a Chess banner. Without losing any momentum he swings himself up onto the pole of the next one and then leaps over the remainder of the wall onto the walkway above.

His wall of flame had dissipated somewhere along the way of him swinging from the banner to the pole. Ok, so now what? He's got wings, and I don't. Wings that hurt, a lot. He thinks looking down at his chest. Several pawns start towards him from either side. Hm, I can go left or I can go right. Decisions decisions. I know. He jumps forwards to the outer side of the wall and swings down, finding purchase in an arrow slit. Taking a deep breath he runs across the wall to an open window and just barely makes it.

[Haseo{Terror of Death}]

Garnet avioded the flames for the most part, and his wings covered his body as a shield. "Hehe, so he's a friend of Rachel. for him to play that game with me, interesting." He smiled, returning to his room, and looked down as the garden was more than half ruined.

It was morning now as Saito woke up and activated Kimera, "Heh, now it's time to eat, but Not here." he left the hotel, paying his bill and then left. He looked around to a near resturant, "Whatever, I hope they make good breakfast."

[Helbaworshipper]

Chi was still sitting in the restaurant Kimera was looking at, her form visible from the window as she stared at a meal that seemed not even appetizing to her. "He...they just don't understand..." Her hands clenched. "The one who suffers the most...is the one who gives the weapon to the murderer..."

----

Agatha arrived at what seemed to be a bunch of ruins, smiling as she saw a man standing there. "Agatha, it has been awhile. You're still so strong after these 220 years." Her eyes remained cold, her smile fading.

"So have you, Kami-sama."



"Now don't deny me something a simple as a hug. You can show your emotions around me you know. You have so much to tell me, correct?" She blinked, walking towards him as she was pulled against him. "Agatha Demeter, the moon and the one who must hold the most sorrow inside her. However, you are strong, when you die you will be free." Silent tears were seeping against his white cloak, her form simply remaining limp against his. "Continue and one day you will be free. Until then, do as you always have. I will be here until you are calm again."

"Thank you...Kami-sama..." Tamao and Mitsu merely watched.
