Chapter 146 - BAKI'S STORY - R&M: DUET

The battles between the Requiems and Ministers have come to a stop.

The place is still.

The Requiems walk about in their Island and make merry. Just as the Ministers.

A WHILE LATER...

The Ministers walk through the bridge towards the next Island.

While on the move, they converse...

A man and a woman walk side by side.

"We just got a break, so why are we heading to the enemy's side?" The man asks and that woman by his right, replies...

"I don't know. It's her orders."

They look back and see Urilia way behind: casually walking. Looking to her left. (She's the last)

The man becomes disgusted.

"Taking her sweet time, I see." He says.

She becomes disgusted.

"Now I see it." She replies.

Urilia looks up while centering her face and opens up her mouth.

She then lifts her left hand over it.

Which after: starts to push and pull the tip of her index.

The man loses it.

"What's she doing?" He asks.

The woman locks in and says while observing...

"I think she's airing her mouth."

"I see no air in there!" The man replies while making reference to her mouth's interior.

Urilia brings down her hand together with her face. While facing left once again. She makes a flashback to the place she was challenged.

Inside the ground, Haji is buried with his head out. He is dead.

Jinichi's body is assimilated with a high ground. Close to Haji. He is dead as well.

Finally, a little to the east, Haki hangs upon a cross. Wrists and feet pinned. Arms tied. Body naked and flared. Blood drips. (His eyes are closed and his face lies against his right side)

Urilia is seated, legs spread upon a rock. In her hands, a tall bone covered with meat remnants. She tears off a chunk and chews.

A eery vision comes forth. Inside it, Haki is tied by Urilia. (Left - Right) While on the cross, on top the ground. While she does, he sobs.

Eventually, she brings a 12 inched nail and holds it against his right wrist with her left fingers above it head.

"No, no. Please, don't." He pleads while she raises her mallet high. She brings it down.

It reaches. She grabs the nail's middle and strikes it. It pierces, blood sprinkles and he screams.

Haki wakes up with force and faces forward, panting hard. He then screams with his eyes closed.

"Ah, you're awake?" She asks, tosses the bone to the left and gets up.

She kisses her fingers.

"Dōka! (Please!) Have mercy!" He cries and she looks up with surprised eyes.

"Please...Urilia...sama. Have...mercy." He pleads while holding his body up.

"Ah, must be painful." She says while bringing down her hands.

"Very!!" He screams.

She laughs, forms a tall Labrys in her open left hand and grabs it.

She carries it up and places upon her right hand. At the same time, looks at it.

"Break the shin?" She asks while looking up to him with her eyes rolled up.

"Do it!!"

She laughs while bringing it down and comes forth.

She positions the blade on his right leg while holding it's bottom with two hands.

He shakes and hyperventilates.

She looks up and smiles, then goes back.

She comes in with force and strikes it. The bone shatters and blood sprinkles.

He screams like never before.

He brings down his head and orders...

"Make it...quick!"

"Hai, hai. (Okay, okay.) I'm coming." She assures as she goes back again. This time the blade is on her right shoulder.

She comes in with the same force and does the same to the left.

Haki grunts and screams.

"That should do it." She says while standing a bit far from him and drops the head of the weapon on the ground by her right.

She observes Haki struggle to take in air.

He reaches his limit and dies. With his face to the ground.

"Finally." She says and the flashback cuts.

Urilia holds a laugh. Spit flies off and she bursts out. She laughs: hysterically.

The man, while watching, comments...

"She's a witch."

"Sealed." She replies.

Later on, the Ministers and Requiems stay settled in camps. On mountain peaks. Fortes. The ground and in the midst of the mountains.

In two ways.

In the middle, a group of six people and Flow set up: speakers, mics, amps, guitars, bass, drums, trumpet and keyboard.

That man of that time says to the same woman while looking to her by his left...

(They are both sitted, legs folded on the ground in the midst of people)

"What is happening?"

"Beats me." She replies.

He faces forward and relaxes.

Flow sits behind the Drums.

Two men pick up the Lead and Rhythmic Guitars. While behind two standing mics.

A woman picks up the Bass.

Another woman sits behind the Keyboard. With a connected mic in front.

A man picks up a trumpet.

And finally, Urilia comes forward with the mic, inside her right hand.

(All: Ministers. I said lemme specify even though you guys know)

She puts it against her mouth and declares...

"Truth be told, this is reason I called the cease-fire. I wanna sing y'all a song. Don't worry guys, I have a great voice."

"Lead Me To The Bright White." Flow says in the mic in front of him.

(Besides that mic, two mics hang)

Urilia throws the mic up, catches the wire and spins it. She does so for a second and the beat falls.

POST HARDCORE

She begins to run at the spot to the flow of the beat while her guitarists head bang with spread legs.

"Post Hardcore?" - That Man.

"How lame." - That Woman.

The people mutter amongst themselves.

"So is this why she called us out?" - Woman I.

"Post Hardcore?" - Man I.

"Hideous." - Woman I.

"What do you mean! It's peak." - Man II.

"Shut the fuck up! What do you know?" - Woman I.

"Know more than you for sure." - Man II.

Meanwhile, Turner watches while sitted legs folded, hands up on his thighs, in front of a distinguished camp.

His smile deepens.

She grabs the mic, the beat switches to AOR and she harmonises.

"Mmmmmmmmmh."

The people's eyes brighten and they begin to chant as the music rises.

She makes a few more sounds and begins...

"Shunning the, the darkness

Lead me to the bright white!"

That man goes "whoo!" Same time shooting his right fist up.

"That pain, the sorrow

I'm sure to make it fall right!"

"Terrifying, most denying

That single bird, sings to me.

A caller in the blizzard, will I reach it?"

She sings while dancing.

"Lead me to the bright white!" She sings out loud, bending down while holding the mic in both hands.

"(Lead me!)" - Flow.

The people dance as the beat plays.

"The punching bag. You better hold me tight. Cause I won't...let go." - Flow.

"Oh my God!" - Man III.

"You better sit back! And watch it splash. Then lick your mouth. That's a good boy." - Urilia.

"What the fuck?" - Man IV.

"I dig it!" - Woman II.

"(Touch me!)" - Flow.

Turner still holds the smile.

"You put me in dilemma. Then you expect...that I'd forgive ya." - Flow.

"(You foolish brat!)" - Urilia.

Turner gets up and a male Requiem that stands: looks to him by his left.

He walks.

"You blow my mind, you put me right

Regardless of my constant deviation.

You know your words, you use it right

And I admire that." Urilia sings while holding a serious glare. Same time, making left hand gestures and tapping the right foot.

"This woman is amazing." - Woman III.

"(I admire it.)" - The Keyboardist.

"They all are." - Woman IV.

"(Ohhhhhhh)" Urilia sings as she stretches her body to the right.

She comes back to the center and performs with her Guitarists, Keyboardist and Drummer...

"Shunning the, the darkness

Lead me to the bright white!

"That pain, the sorrow

I'm sure to make it fall right!"

"Terrifying, most denying

That single bird, sings to me.

A caller in the blizzard, will I reach it?"

They sing in harmony and drive the crowd crazy.

"Lead me to the bright white!" - Urilia and Flow.

"(Lead me, ey!)" - Flow.

The beat goes down for a little while and comes back up.

Turner swoops in with a wireless mic in his left hand and performs....

"Eeeeeeeeeee, yow! I been speaking my mind ever since!"

The crowd is in shock.

"You don't know what...I've been feeling!"

"All my days of sorrow, I put in a photo

I'm trying to remember, why is that?"

"Why have you forsaken me!"

"(Oh, why have you forsaken me?)" - Flow and the Lead Guitarist.

"You put it to me that I'm the one

When you know the truth.

"(The goddamn truth)" - Flow and the Keyboardist.

"I'm slowly...going insane!"

Throughout Urilia dances. Busting powerful moves. Making the crowd lose it. While at it, some of the Requiems and Ministers die.

"Will I ever see this white light!

Oh, will I?" - Turner.

"(Oh na na. Na na. Na na, na na, na na)" - The Guitarists.

The beat holds and resumes.

"Shunning the, the darkness!" - Urilia.

"(Oh, shunning it!)" - Turner.

"Lead me the bright white." - Urilia.

"(Lead me, lead me! The bright white!)" - Turner

"It's a duet!" That man says with a smile.

"And with that gritty tone." The woman replies.

They look at themselves, get up and dance alongside the people.

"That pain, the sorrow!" - Flow, Urilia _ Turner.

"I'm sure to make it fall right!" - Urilia.

"(Make it fall, baby!)" - Turner.

"Terrifying, most denying." - Flow.

"That single bird, sings to me." - Urilia.

"A caller in the blizzard, will I reach it?" - Turner.

"Ohhh, lead me to the bright white!" Turner sings after tossing the mic to the left hand.

"(Lead me oh. Lead me oh. Lead me oh-)" - Urilia, Flow, the Guitarists and the Keyboardist.

He goes on his knees and sings while throwing his face to the top with the mic in his right hand...

"Oh lead me to the bright white."

He brings down his hands and face.

The beat now carries on for a little while and fades.

The people clap. Bark and chant.

"Whooo!"
