"You came back quickly, didn't you buy anything?" Raine asked.
"Nah, I'm good,.. I'll do it some other time.....so where we going next?" Sunny asked.
"Back to the base...we need to prepare for the task ahead.." Raine said.
"Ok"
They both left the castle.
....
...
"So what kinda preparation are you doing?" Sunny asked looking at the man who was maditating on the floor.
".....I need to activate my God mode..... Don't disturb me for ...maybe an hour." Raine said.
'God mode? Is this related to his aspact?' Sunny waited. He also tried to do maditation, but his thoughts were loud, so he couldn't.
After some time Raine open his eyes.
Sunny thought he would see something different, like shining eyes, glowing skin, he didn't see anything like that.
'What happened to activating God mode...?'
"Did you succeed?" Sunny asked, a bit puzzled.
"Yeah, I think so, I can now kill him without any remorse." Raine said.
"..."
"..What do you mean?, what remorse?...and what was that God mode you talked about?"
"Sunny, ...You may not understand it, but ....life is a precious gift given by God, and only God had the right to take it away..." Raine said in a serious tone.
"I never killed a human before,... sure, I killed some hollows but they were already dead in my eyes....so this is the first time I will defy the will of gods..."
"...And for that I have to think like a god too." Raine said.
Sunny didn't understand, how can killing someone can be so complicated.... didn't this man and him had killed all kinds of abominations...so why is he hesitating now?...
"You know, I have been thinking for a while,...after I received Prisma...I understood that all nightmare creatures were once a part of the God too, they were part of what is Pure...but then their energy got corrupted, and they became abominations... abominations that everyone kills, not understanding why they should be killed..."
'Why shouldn't they be killed? Isn't that how it works?' Sunny didn't understand.
"It's because of Cycle.... Cycle of life and death...those that are corrupt now can be purified if we kill them....they return to their original forms....like they were meant to be...."
"There are exceptions....like Prisma here, who refused to move on ...but I think that's the purpose of their death..."
"I killed these corrupt creatures all these times, knowing that I was also purifying their corruption....but this time it will be different..."
"I will kill something that is already purified,...and that will leave a guilt in my heart... "
"That's why I needed to think like a god for this...."
Sunny understood a bit...but he didn't knew a simple thing for someone like him could be so complicated for someone else.
"You know, ...whenever god descend on the world, distruction follows.... People die... civilizations get wiped...whole planets get distroyed... like an apocalypse."
"People don't know why he can be so cruel.... But to rebuild, you need to distroy first...You can't create something beautiful unless you distroy the ugly things."
"You understand? ....That's what my God mode is.."
"... I'll kill him...not for sake of killing...but I'll do it so he can restart...to be born again with a pure mind and heart."
....
"I know my logic is dumb...and hypocritical...but..."
Raine looked in Sunny eyes...
"...This is my first time, alright.....I need to be gentle with myself...." ..Sunny got a chill hearing this....
...
"So there you have it,...I will do the deed....But I'll prepare a excuse for myself too... that's it.... that's my god mode..."
"Do you get it?.." he asked Sunny.
"Yeah, I get it." Sunny said. 'I get it you still have screw loose, man' Sunny thought.
...
...
"Ok, so I will explain the plan, I will need your assistance in this..."
"I will infiltrat the castle in my spirit form and the moment I see a opening, I will use Prisma to kill the man,... nothing complicated there...." Raine said.
"But..."
"But what?" Sunny asked.
"I'm not sure if I can kill him through that transcendant Echo of his.....you know as you rank up.....your all aspacts are fortified..be it body, soul, mind or even spirit..."
"Prisma is just awakend rank right now, I don't think she can penetrate a Transcendant Echo so easily....so my strategy is to attack when he's unprepared..."
....
"I'll wait for him to let down his guard, when he won't be protected by his echo..like when he eats, when he sleeps, or even when he use bathroom..."
"I'll wait for the appropriate moment and I'll strike..."
"But for that I need your help..." Raine said.
"Just tell me what I need to do?" Sunny asked, ready to do anything.
"You know my flaw, I can't spend much time in spirit form without getting weak, maybe I can spend six hours maximum...I can somehow negate this by wearing Weaver's mask, but then I face the risk of blowing up,..." Raine said.
"So you see, I won't be able to summon or unsummon it like I usually do, because I can only summon things where my consciousness is, and to use the mask, I need to wear it on my body..."
"So you see, that's the problem...It won't be a problem if the mission succeeds quickly, but knowing him, this won't be easy at all...." Raine said.
"That's why I'll leave my body in your care, while wearing Weaver's mask,...your task will be to remove and put it back again and again with about four hours in between...you understand?"
Sunny nodded, while trying not to think the double meaning behind the words.
"I understand, you can leave it to me, no problem. I will take good care of you..." He said with a resolute voice.
"Ok, then..." Raine got up, ready to lie on the bed,... but paused.
...
He looked back at Sunny, thought for a moment and said...
"Before I go I'll tell you the way."
"The way to get rid of your chains...I wanted to save it for later, but I think this is the perfect moment..." Raine said.
"...why?....why is it perfect moment?.... Bastard, don't tell me you are planning to die there,... I'll kill you myself again if you die, you hear?...why are you saying it like this plan might fail, hah?...I don't think anything is wrong with the plan....so why?..." Sunny shouted.
Raine smiled and said...
"I know there's nothing wrong with this plan, i know it will be successful, I'm sure of it hundred percent...but..."
"But what?" Sunny asked.
"You'll never know what future holds, Sunless..... Things might go wrong, even if they shouldn't have ...so that's why...you need to hear this...then I won't have any worrys left...." Raine said.
"You motherfucker,... don't act like a tragic altruist with saviour complex,.... what is wrong with you?.... Why do you have to kill the mood, hah? ... everything was going smoothly and then you brought this up, like you are marching towards your death,.... I don't want to hear it, I won't hear it, ..if you want to tell me then come back alive,...or actually you don't have to go...I can kill him myself...so..so..." Sunny was out of breath.
"Sunny" Raine said with a smile on his face. "You don't need to worry about it. I know I'll come back. I can guarantee you. But I have to tell you the plan anyways so why not now?"
"Because you think if you tell me then you can die, bastard. That's why, that's why, I won't hear it. ...I won't hear it, you hear." Sunny shouted.
....
Silence
....
Nobody spoke.
....
At this point the mood was really awkward, two people were showing there love for each other in their own perverted ways, .....everyone was embarrassed.
'why is this so awkward?' Sunny thought.
'No, this won't go where I think this is going, ..No, no, no, I'll kill the motherfucker, I'll kill the motherfucker whoever is making me do this,...you hear, whoever you are,... I'll kill you if you do this....' Sunny shouted, in his mind, thinking he was being controlled by some unknown abomination.
"Ok, I won't tell you." Raine said.
"Not now, atleast. I'll tell you when I come back, so don't worry about me, ok?" Raine said.
"I didn't brought it up because I'm planning to die or anything like that, ....hell, I won't die even if someone put a sword in my heart, ..i won't...not before I make my Prisma a weapon capable to slay even divine beings..."
At the mention of Prisma the mood lighten up a bit.
"It's just that...future can be unpredictable, Brother."
"Even Gods couldn't see their death coming...."
