Fatal Liberation
(Note: If you read part 1 before
this you know I don’t own any of the Squaresoft or
Crave/Acii/Polygon Magic characters.)
Rion
was strapped onto a table this time. His vision was blurry as two boys and a
red-headed girl stood around him. “Hm…so what do you suppose we do now?” Said a tall black-haired boy. “Take a little peak into his
head…” Said the girl as she lifted her hand over Rion’s head and began to
rummage through his mind. Rion wanted to scream ever-so badly but he was too
tired. He felt like he was shorting and was about to die. “It’s no use”, said
the girl, “We can’t get to it”. Rion was awoken by the pain and began to move.
“Oh no you don’t, Mother told us to keep you sedated at all costs”, said the
tall boy as he injected blue serum into Rion’s arm. Rion continued to move,
although he was strapped to the bed he began to burn the leather belts that
were holding him down. He soon got up. “What the hell do you think you’re do-“,
Rion was cut off by a larger injection into the shoulder.
He then went numb and collapsed.
“Huh?”
Rion said, still in a daze as he woke up on his bed. “Was that just a dream? It
seemed so real…” He thought to himself about the people in the room with him,
he couldn’t make out their faces no matter how hard he tried.
“Dinner’s here, Rion!” Aya yelled
from downstairs as Rion came into the kitchen/dining area. Tonight Aya had
ordered pizza, Chinese, sushi, Mexican, and burgers. “I
wasn’t sure of what you like”, she said, slightly giggling.
“Aya! You could have told me when he’d be here”, said a girl who
looked identical to Aya except her hair went down to her butt and she had wild
pea green eyes that sparkled like emeralds.
“I wanted it to be a surprise”.
“Well, at least you didn’t cook.”
She said, taking a seat next to Rion.
“Oh, I forgot to introduce my
little sister Eve”, Said Aya, taking some sushi.
“Hi”, Rion said coldly.
“Aw, stop being so gloomy just
‘cause you can’t find your girlfriend. She’s a cutie”, said Eve, winking at
Rion. “And eat something, your not going to find her by starving yourself.”
Rion took some pizza and was relieved to finally eat something,
he hadn’t in what seemed like years.
“That was good, I got some movie
tickets from Sora yesterday if you wanna go”, said Aya, while Eve
telepathically moved the plates to the sink and washing them.
“Fine, what movie”, said Rion,
slightly looser because of the sake Aya let him drink.
“Well, it’s for any movie. The
ones that are playing are Penguin Force, The Geisha and the Samurai, Sailor
Moon Z: Eternally Always, and How to Find a Girl in a Week.”
“I want to see penguin force!!!” Shouted Eve from the sink.
“Nah, let’s let Rion choose.”
“Um…How about How to find a girl
in a week”, said Rion, he didn’t want to see any lover stories or penguins.
“Okay, but I’m warning you that
it’s a chick flick”, Said Aya as she grabbed her jacket and they left.
The
theater was packed that night, full of people going to see the Geisha and the
Samurai.
“Hey, hot stuff!” A young-adult
with spiked and blonde tipped hair called to Aya “I’ll let ya in front for a
kiss!”
“Sora, my goal in life is to hurt you , severely, come here.” Said Aya reaching for her gun
concealed underneath her jacket.
“Fine”, he said as he let them in
from the back entrance, quickly stealing a kiss from her.
“BASTARD!!” She screamed as she punched him in the face so he fell on
the ground.
“Are you okay?” Rion asked,
helping him up.
“Yeah, feisty, just the way I like
her. She has a secret crush on me, she’s just in denial”.
“I HEARD THAT!!!” Aya said as she
psychically threw him against the wall.
“C’mon, Rion, it’s starting
soon!!” Said Eve, her hands full with sugary drinks as they
proceeded into the darkness of the theater.
“Oh
Itto, how could I ever say I hate you and cheated on
you with you more attractive half-brother while using you as just my friend?” Said the lady on the screen.
“Oh, Itto!” Said Sora
bending down beside Rion’s seat as the two were mimicking the characters and
having food thrown at them by women. The screen suddenly went blanc white as five figures cast shadows upon it. “Come to
us traitor Galerian. You can’t hide for ever. Come to us, and we shall set you
free!” They said, out of the voices Rion recognized one as his or no…it
couldn’t be, Cain’s?!?!
“Rion we have to go, NOW!!” Said Aya as she led them out of the theater. There was a odd silence on the street.
“Why did we have to go?” Asked
Rion, confused about Aya’s actions.
“Rion, I have to tell you
something. When you killed the Galerians you destroyed their minds and not
their physical bodies. The shadows on the screen were that of the newly
re-booted Galerians and Dorothy.” Said Aya, a heavy sigh in
her voice.
“Dorothy?!? But she…I…it…”Rion was dumbfounded and surprised, he
watched her die!
“Dorothy has been implanted into a
body. The body is…” Aya couldn’t finish.
“Well, well, well. Look at what we
have here. Two old crones and a traitorous boy”, said the raven haired man from
his dreams. Five figures walked up. Rion immediately recognized four of them as
Rita, Cain, Birdman and Rainheart but he was baffled by the fifth. She looked
like…
“Rion Dorothy now resides in an
improved form of Lillia’s body!” Aya telepathically
told him.
“No!” Said Rion
as he fainted, there in the cold wet street.
“He isn’t ready for us, we shall
be back Aya, be assured of that”, said Dorothy as they teleported away.
Rion
now found himself strapped to a chair, his eyes were held open by metal
instruments and his head was hooded up to another device. “Begin sequence 1”,
said a voice as a bright assortment of pictures showed up on the screen. Things
such as murders, rapes, homicides and suicides, all graphically depicted. “This
is the world”, a voice said into his mind, “without Mother. Mother wants you to
be happy. By doing this you make Mother happy. By doing this you make Mother
happy. By doing this you make Mother happy. By doing this you make Mother
happy. By doing this you make Mother happy. By doing this you make Mother
happy.” It repeated for over an hour. Rion was being brainwashed, robbed of his
memories and having his mind implanted with images of murder, what his duty was
to do. To kill humans. “C’mon, boy”, said a man, un-strapping
Rion, “Your coming with us.” Rion was carried down the hall to a large white
room where he was once again restrained. He couldn’t move,
the video had seemed to numb his body and mind. “Beginning sequence 2- PPEC
introduction”, a voice called as Rion was injected with heavy amounts of Melatropin. Rion passed out once again.
