"You're welcome" He glared at her 'Like hell, I'm gonna tell her she reminds me of Maya' "Yeah, Gene was a "little tired" too" He said, looking around for an inn. "You probably need some rest"...

"I... probably... we need to find to Gene. I owe him... fucking a..." Vera huffed as she leaned back for a moment and closed her eyes.
"The battle is nigh untold... and the adephagos shall live on... Ragnarok... I pray that it's not too late... but the damage is done. I see so many spirits have fallen... we must save... them..." That's when Vera slipped from the bench and crashed onto the ground without further notice, clearly unconscious.
****
A dark glow resonated from Aska, lingering in Gene's stead.
"You... the one born under the Red Moon..."
Gene took a step back. "What?"
"Have you considered the absolute? Have you asked yourself... what will become of this world? What are you fighting for? Why are you breathing every breath?" The voice did not seem to come from the spirit...
"... Dead men rarely think of the world." Gene said, a little puzzled.
"Yet, you are living. You must have reason to exist now, and so later in the future. The Red Moon can be considered a blessing."
Gene scowled. "One so rare as a one time lifeline. Once it passes, my time is short."
"Or if you address its brethren, you may be given quite the opposite path. The path to life... and beyond."
"A grand fate...?"
"I am called Ragnarok. I am the deemed brethren of the Red Moon."
"... Pass. I hate all this crap more than anything. Better to just walk away." Gene turned away on his heels. "Or at least end this bird's misery first."
"You speak like a fine warrior, boy. You should acknowledge your friends... your family before throwing your life. Haven't you thought of an elixir to cure your condition?"
"... No point in wasting the time left searching for a cure not there. I'll take my freedom... And I'll give this bird freedom you." Gene turned back around and drew his short sword. "I pray your forgiveness in the next world, old bird." He said, raising the sword for the executioner's strike.
"You will not destroy that spirit!!!"
In mere seconds, Gene felt a surge of power through his body, dark and abysmal.
The Ragnarok had attempted his move...
and succeeded.
Aska quickly lifted its head and cried, suddenly strengthened by the event... and fought its way to standing before taking off in the northern direction...
"Ungh..." Gene groaned. "I said... I don't... Want... This... Crap..." The Red Moon shone in his eyes.

"VERA!! Goddammit! STIMULATE!" Aero cried, that familiar lightning bolt enhancing his muscles as he picked her up and ran back to the hospital, passing Gene along the way. He quickly dropped Vera off, explaining she collapsed after saying something weird, and ran back to see his cousin's eyes reflecting the red moon...

Gene could not notice or hear his cousin as the blade of a former swordsman took reign.
"Get... Out..." Gene still said, struggling for dominance.
Heh hahah!! I have attempted this with Rosa, but I am sure you will not be able to suppress me as she did!!! Just embrace this... after all, incalculable power rests within your finger tips... not only that but if you embra-
"SHUT UP!" Gene roared. "I don't gave a fuck about that..." He said, opening his eyes. He could hazily see the guardrail. He struggled to take steps towards it. "I'll just go down... With you..."
I'd like to see you try...
****
Vera, on the other hand woke up several minutes later to find herself in a hospital bed. "Aero...? Gene...?"
She glanced to and fro...
"Damn..." Vera then smashed her fist into the bed and hopped out, running out as the staff began to yell at her.
"GET BACK HERE!"
"..." Vera continued moving on, shaking her head.
'Who are you...?'
I'm Rosa. Nice to meet you. Glad I could save you again.
'...Whatever. Anyway, where the fuck are you taking me?'
You'll see. I just... well let's say your friends are in danger.
'They're not my fucking friends.'
Something tells me otherwise. Just keep going!
"Huff... huff..."

"Whoa, Gene!" Aero ran up to him, not knowing what he was struggling with "Dude, suicide is not an option! Hey! Snap out of it!" He said, trying to shake him out of it, while preventing him from jumping to his death...

Gene groaned as he felt someone tug on him. He put his arm out, mustering strength to use the only technique he had powerful enough to knock someone backwards, even if it was a stolen one. "Aero...ken..." He said, blasting back Aero. He had never, of course, told Aero that he had pilfered the attack. He continued struggling towards the ledge. "I won't let you..." He said.
You do know your life would be a waste! The blade's spirit loomed in his head. Are you really wanting to become so melodramatic?
"My life is already forfeit. I'll not be disgraced to being your puppet... I'd rather death." He took another step.
Heh hahahaha, it could be better for you in the end, boy! Is it so bad to become one? Even more so, since you instead could pull my strings!
"I DON'T NEED YOUR STRENGTH! I HAVE MY OWN HANDS, AND IF I WANT SOMETHING, I'LL USE THEM!"
You are saying, you have given up on life because you think yourself as a disgrace?
"I... Had only hoped to keep my time as freedom... This... I am no pawn. Even if I did 'pull your strings,' I would still be your piece to move about the board. I'd rather death to that..."
Then relieve yourself. Come on then! It does not matter who I use as a pawn!
"I'll bring you down... With me..."
You do not realize what I am, do you!?
"You seem scared... I needn't know what you are. You chose me as your coffin..."
Hehahahahahaha!
"Ungh..." Gene collapsed as his body began to glow red. "Stay out of this... Or do you mean to help me? Blighted red eyesore... Fine! If this is my grand destiny... Then Give it to me... Don't let this thing escape... AGH!"
That is all... you do have me! Hahaha!! So much for grand destiny!
"I will not be your pawn... And you won't escape... The Red Moon deems it so..."
If it deemed it so, I would have been gone long ago... and you have accepted me...
"SHUT UP! I only accept the reins of my birth's promise! I do not... Accept you."
Then what is your move!? Move the piece, boy!
"Go rot in a pit."
What!?
"JUST SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!"
So be it...
"GENE!! AERO!!"

Aero continued to tug on Gene as the man struggled. Gene held his palm out towards him and muttered "Aero..." but as he smiled, Gene finished "...ken". 'Oh, shit' was all Aero could think as he was blasted back into a tree, dazing him. He tried to stand and help Gene, but he could only stumble around, when he heard his name for real...

Vera ran over to the both of them, gasping for breath. "What the hell is going on here!?"

Gene opened his eyes. Did it pass? He thought to himself, getting up. He still had the reddish aura from the red moon shining over him. He sat up slowly. "Hgn... Vera... What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Wondering where the hell you two went!" Vera stamped her foot onto the ground.
'You...'
Hehehe... WELL LOOK AT WHO THIS IS!!! LONG TIME NO SEE, YOU LITTLE WENCH!!!
Gene groaned, only hearing one side of the telepathic conversation. "Going to have a headache..." He mumbled.
"Gene!" Vera was too busy ignoring the voice in her own head as she glanced over to both.
"What's going on? Why'd you leave like that? The damn idiot Aero was worried about you!"
"It would only be for his stupid fight." Gene replied. "I wanted to enjoy myself a bit." Were it not for that bird...
Get up and fight boy!! This is the opportunity I've been waiting for!!!! Almost a hundred years, in fact!!!
"Ragnarok..." Vera whispered, her attention now on the possessed spirit. "Why have you taken the soul of another innocent? First my father... and now this!?"
"... Vera?" Gene asked. And you shut up. He thought.
You'd want to fight... otherwise your little girlfriend here will rip you to shreds! Isn't that right Rosie!? Hehehehe!
"You know, I really do hate that nick name... but you have to let him go!!! What's your purpose anyway!?"
Simple... to destroy the adephagos and take my reign as the destructive beast that will bring upon ruination to this planet!!!
"Great... Just great..." Gene mumbled. "Vera, are you alright?" He stood up. "Wake up! Stop acting so strange... I don't know what you did to this stupid thing, but just apologize so it will shut up."
By now Vera's attention was directed towards Gene. "Young man, I hate to say this, but you have one of the most destructive forces in your body... and unfortunately he is a parasite. He is the opposite to the power I hold... and that is the adephagos."
"You're babbling. And I plan to get this thing lanced as soon as I figure out how."
"Hence my apologies. There really only one way to destroy him... and that's to suppress him."
"... Well the moon has that done... For now... Wait, wait, wait!! Vera, are you really buying into this crap?"
"Gene... yes, your name is Gene, correct? I just want to say that I'm taking her place temporarily, just so I can help you. My name is Rosa."
"... That name..." Gene said, stopping. "You're messing with me. Rosa the Summoner? This is a really bad joke."
WILL YOU TWO STOP BABBLING!? I will destroy you, you filthy summoner!!!! Your fath-
"I SAID SHUT UP!"
Vera sighed. "The talking sword's right. Otherwise why else would he be trying to possess you and is shouting at me? I've saved your friend here twice now... so I figured she needs to repay me."
"I'm calling this an omnicidal spirit, and I'm getting sick of all this..."
"Then help me out. The quicker we're done, the quick you'll return to a normal life or whatever you were doing before."
"Waiting to die."
"...I'll make a deal with you."
"I don't like dealing with ghosts... Doubly since twenty minutes ago."
"You really just are anxious to just die? All I am asking is for a hand in defeating what's inside you."
"... I can't believe I'm about to... If you can get it to shut up, then fine... I'll go along with this, but stop messing around with me."
"How am I messing around?"
"... Trying to confuse me. This has to be some really bad joke... Stupid birth promise..."
"Well... all I am asking is for you to well... the first choice which is easiest requires you to just die. There, I said it. BUT!!! Don't say anything yet..."
Gene bit his tongue as Rosa continued, "In exchange I can fully recover the body with the last of my strength. Let's just say you'll never have to see us two ghosties after!"
"... And this would bother me how?"
"I thought you were bothered by us."
"I want all this to go away. The sooner the better."
"So is it a deal?"
"Fine, fine."
"Alright, I'm going to summon Shadow actually."

Aero was fucking confused as hell so he just sat there and shut up... save for one sentence "Hey, Gene! Next time you enjoy one of my techs and wanna learn it, ask me to teach you instead of stealing it. Last time I try and save your life... ass"...

"My name is Aero. I'm that guys cousin" He said, pointing at Gene "And apparently the only one here not possessed by "ghosties". Instead, I have managed to tame something else. But that's beside the point. Who are you?"

Sweatdrop.
"You really do not get out often, do you?" Rosa sighed. "Now then, be a dear, Aero, and keep Gene to the ground. Tackle him as I cast Shadow to kill him."

"Needn't bother. I won't struggle." Gene said, leaning on a wall.
"Well then..." Vera clasped her hands together and began to whisper a conjuration. It was only a mere half minute before the silent beast was summoned, standing before Gene.
"Hey there big ugly..."
"Well... let's just pray this works..." Rosa then flicked her hand forward only once.
Shadow raised his blade...
If this is the fate I was born for... Hmph. My only regret is that I didn't enjoy my freedom longer. Stupid moon. Gene thought, closing his eyes.
"Don't worry, you'll be back in just a couple of moments!!"
Damn you Rosa!! This won't be the end!! Just for a moment, a cloud loomed over the Red Moon, silencing its crimson aura.
"Hn?" Gene opened his eyes. The light in his eyes dimming from red to its normal teal. "Suddenly I don't feel so hot..."
This is my opportunity now! Bye you summoning wench!!! Suddenly Ragnarok exited Gene's body and in a flash, zoomed across the ground, entering the summon spirit's form. Slowly it turned, cackling maniacally.
"How does it feel, Rosa? How does it feel to face the one fear you have!? Don't you remember all those years ago!!!?"
"Shut... up." Rosa whispered, suddenly finding herself staring in the eyes of her true enemy. The enemy she managed to supress... after tearing away her sanity!!!
"TELL ME!"
"SHUT UP!!!" Rosa screeched as she held up Vera's katars, throwing one at the beast.
Shadow quickly dodged, laughing. "Judging by these words... I am SURE YOU ARE STILL WORTHLESS!!!! That glint of hope... You said you took on the duties of a summoner, yet you did nothing!!!! Your father must have spoiled you!! You're nothing!!!"
Rosa/Vera shook her head. "Shut the hell up!!!"
"Sorry to interrupt, but I'm sick of this drama..." Gene said, having stood up after his collapse from Ragnarok's exit. "Why don't we just get this over with? No more cloud cover..." He drew his sword and dagger.
"Zip it boy!!!" Shadow turned and called. Suddenly the summon was tackled to the ground.
"She was losing her senses... so I decided to take my body back. Next time, ASK BEFORE YOU TAKE OVER MY BODY!!!" Vera shouted.

"Well that was stupid of her" Aero said, pointing out the obvious "Who the hell opens themselves up to a confrontation with their worst enemy?"...

"Oh shut up Aero. Ugh... I have such a headache over this." Vera groaned as she rubbed her temples.
"I just want to get this over with!!! So will you join me Gene... Aero? I'm sure you're both annoyed of this."
Shadow only smirked. "So... little Rosa has finally snapped again? I wouldn't be surprised... hehehehehe!!!"
"God, this guy is really beginning to piss me off..." Gene said. "Crimson Fang!" Gene shouted, slashing at the ground, sending a giant blood-red demon fang across the ground at Shadow.
Shadow quickly side stepped before dashing at Gene with a giant swipe of its claw.
"Not so fast!! Swallow dance!!!!" A sudden kick flew towards Shadow, only to fail as the summon grabbed Vera by the ankle and threw her hard into the ground.
