Other me slowly walks forward. I concentrate and prepare an Antichion. Other me puts his hands up. I'm not sure if he's surrendering, or preparing somthing. I look at his gauntlet. The screen is cracked. He's broken it. Could that mean...

"What do you want?" I demand.

He grins. There's malicious intent behind his smile. I'm not sure if it's to me or to God. Somthing about him seems diffrent. Maybe mentioning Walter and Jonathan finally got through to him?

He turns and stabs Metatron. Killing the angle on the spot. Mother Harlot and Trumpeter are unsurprised. Afraid, I grip my sword.

Shiva walks up my other self. Shiva smiles kindly. "You don't want to work for him anymore, do you?" Shiva asks.

Other me sheaths his sword. "You were right Flynn," he explains, "I have failed Walter and Jonathan, but I'm not going to be God's pawn anymore. I'm going to fight back."

I look at the gauntlet, it flickers on and off. Quickly, I strike it with Antichion. The gauntlet breaks into little pieces. Then, something dawns on me. Without a gauntlet, I'm not being passively healed by my apps. I'll have to conserve my mana.

"So," I extend my arm in friendship, smiling, "great to see you finally understand."

"I think we're gonna be friends," other me smiles, doing the high five into fist bump motion.

We continue to Masakado. Fujiwara is dead, lieing in a pool of his own blood. I see Issachar. He wears his gauntlet, and holds the sword used to summon Masakado. He breaks.

"What are you doing!?!" I demand.

Issachar turns to face me, and I see his toothy, eerie grin. "Saving Tokyo," he replies, "after you left, I heard a voice from my gauntlet, but not Burroughs, it was God. He told me you'd killed me in every reset before these last few. He told me you only saved me because of an opportunity, and not cause you cared about me. You only care about Walter and Jonathan. To you, I'm nothing but a tool! I'm going to save Tokyo, and if that means I have to kill you," Issachar summons Chemtrail, Metatron, and Seraph, "so be it."

I cast Antichion. Shiva follows, and they already look weaker. My other self casts Luster Candy. Mother Harlot does as well, and Trumpeter begins concentrating to cast a spell.

Chemtrail uses Stun Needles. My other self and I manage to douge, but Mother Harlot gets killed. Metatron casts Judgement Light. Thankfully, none of us are affected. I seize the opportunity to cast Cold World, killing Chemtrail instantly.

My other self lunges at Seraph, but Seraph douges and counters. My other self falls to his knees. Trumpeter casts Salvation, healing him.

Issachar grows frustrated. He casts Heaven's Bow, catching me off guard. Trumpeter is killed along with Shiva. I cast Salvation to heal, but I can fell myself running out of mana.

My other self uses the technique, Hades Blast. Killing Seraph. However, Issachar seizes the opportunity to kill my other self by stabing him in the back. My other self resets...
