Chapter 26: Mysterious Flower
Ezekiel: Hey.....you're a good kid, right?
Blue: Y-Yeah, I guess you can say that, why?
Ezekiel: I want you to do me a favour
Blue: A favour? Yeah, I guess I can do one for you. What do you need?
Ezekiel: I want you to kill me
Blue: W-What?
Eveline: Kill him? Why?
Blue: Yeah, why? Don't you want to find redemption?
Ezekiel: I believe I have as soon as I forgave you for something I shouldn't have been too hard on you for. My time has passed, I think it's time if I move onto the afterlife
Blue: That's cool and all, but I'm not going to kill you!
Ezekiel: That wasn't a request, boy. It was an order.
Blue and Ezekiel stood in silence, facing each other. Blue's fists clenched, his eyes narrowed with determination, while Ezekiel's gaze held a haunting sadness.
Ezekiel: Boy, you know what I want. I can't live with the guilt anymore. I need you to end it.
Blue: I won't do it, Ezekiel. There's always another way.
Ezekiel: What reason do I have anymore? My family is gone and I want to be with them.
Blue: I understand all of that, but there is more for you in life. It's funny, I did want to kill you....but here I am....trying to save your damn life
Ezekiel: And now you have to end it
Ezekiel charged at Blue, fists flying. Blue dodged and weaved, refusing to fight back with full force. He couldn't bring himself to harm Ezekiel, no matter how much Ezekiel begged for it.
He wasn't a killer.....
Their dance of combat continued, the sounds of grunts and blows echoing in the cold forest as Eveline watches on in anticipation.
Each strike from Ezekiel carried the weight of his desperation, while Blue fought with restraint, searching for an opportunity to end the confrontation without bloodshed. But Ezekiel was relentless, his attacks fueled by his desire for release.
Ezekiel: I can't go on like this. I need you to set me free! If you're going to be useful for once, you can do it by killing me!
Blue's heart ached at Ezekiel's plea, but he couldn't grant such a request. He couldn't bear the thought of taking a life, even if Ezekiel wanted him dead for years. He understood why Ezekiel wanted this, he had nothing and his entire empire was destroyed.
All he has.....is salvation.
As the fight raged on, Blue found himself backed into a corner, Ezekiel's relentless assault leaving him with no choice. With a heavy heart and almost no emotion in his eyes, Blue finally relented, delivering a swift, merciful punch infused with electricity.
It pierced through Ezekiel's chest and into his heart, sending electrical waves through his body, preventing any sort of regeneration.
Ezekiel: F-.....Finally
Ezekiel collapses to the ground, his breaths shallow and ragged, a sense of peace washed over his features. With his last breath....he gave his final message.
Ezekiel: W-Well...this is it for me. I'll see you in Hell, Bo-....no....Blue....
Blue: Yeah....I'll be seeing you....in another life
Ezekiel: Thank you, Blue....
Ezekiel slips into unconsciousness, confirming his eventual death. Blue knelt beside his fallen enemy, his own heart heavy with sorrow despite the many brawls they had.
He had done what Ezekiel asked, but the weight of his decision would almost haunt him forever.
Blue: I.....can't believe I did it.....Rest In Peace.....Ezekiel....I hope Heaven accepts you....so that you can be with your family again.....
Blue turns around and saw that Eveline was slowly approaching him, she hugs Blue slowly and he wraps his arms around her.
Eveline: You're okay....
Blue: Of course, did you ever doubt me?
Eveline: You almost died there! And I could've died as well if you didn't awaken those powers
Blue: Good point, but I did it in the end, didn't I?
Eveline: Yes you did but-! [Sighs] Nevermind, let's just....go and-
Blue: Actually, I'm going to bury Ezekiel first
Eveline: Are you sure? This man caused you a lot of harm
Blue: And I did the same to him, the least I can do is respect him by burying his body in the place where he gave it his all and redeemed himself
Eveline:.....You're too kind for your own good, you know that?
Blue: That's me all right.
Blue proceeds to make a small burial for Ezekiel, and marks his grave with two sticks that he forms to make a lowercase t.
He wanted to write a little message like "A Loving Father Who Sacrificed Everything For His Own", but he didn't have the utilities to do that. But he'll make himself do it sometime later when he gets the chance.
Blue: There, done. You ready to go?
Eveline: Of course, it's getting late soon. The sun is about to set.
Blue and Eveline walk back towards the pick up point after burying Ezekiel's body. But Blue stops mid way through the walk and turns around to confront Eveline about something.
Eveline: Why'd you stop?
Blue: I've.....noticed that there is this sense of conflictment inside of you. You want to say something don't you?
Eveline: H-How?
Blue: We have known each other for a while now. So, tell me, what's been on your mind Eveline...
Eveline: Well, Blue, there's something I've been wanting to tell you for a while now
Blue: Go on, Eveline. You can tell me anything and you know that
Eveline: Okay....I....I love you.....
Blue:......Say what now?
Eveline: Y-You heard me
Blue: You....actually love.....m-me? ._.
Eveline Yes idiot! Why do you sound so surprised?!
Blue: I-It's just that I didn't expect this from you!
Eveline: [Takes Deep Breath] Blue, ever since we met, you've brought so much joy and happiness into my cold, dark life. Well, it took time, but I learnt to warm up to you and appreciate the opportunities given to me. You're always there for me, supporting me, making me laugh...and....and I've come to realise that...I love you, Blue Winters. I've fallen in love with you.
Blue's eyes widen in surprise, his heart conflicted at Eveline's confession. He searches her face, seeing the sincerity in her eyes....and then he remembered that he was already in a relationship with Donna.
Blue: Eveline....I don't know what to say...I never imagined...that you would say this. And then there is Donna-!
Eveline gently places her hand on Blue's, her eyes filled with hope.
Eveline: You don't have to say anything, Blue. I just needed you to know how I feel, and besides, me and Donna had a talk
Blue: A talk?
Eveline: About sharing
Blue: S-Sharing?
Eveline: Yes, and she agreed with the terms that we talked about since I knew you longer
Blue:.......What were these terms?
Eveline: That I'm the....m-main girl
Blue:...Oh....wow
Eveline: Y-Yes....and Donna agreed
Blue didn't know what to say, so he takes Eveline's hand in his, feeling a rush of warmth and affection.
Blue: Eveline, you've opened my eyes to something that I should've seen. Something that I never knew existed. And...I think.....this was meant to be, it's fate essentially.
Eveline's face lights up with joy, tears of happiness welling in her eyes as she leans in, embracing Blue tightly.
Eveline: [Whispering softly] I love you, Blue.
Blue: I love you too.....Eveline
Eveline's face begins to inch closer to Blue's, who stayed still. Eveline finally seals her love to the boy that changed her life and connects her lips to his.
She could feel butterflies in her stomach as Blue holds onto Eveline, soon, the two separated and looked into each other's eyes.
There was silence between them except for the soft pants coming from Eveline, but soon the two begin to laugh with each other, happy with their new life. Eveline holds onto Blue's hands and begins to drag him away.
Eveline: Come on, we should go home now.
Blue: Okay, but you better explain this all to everyone, I'm not going to do that
Eveline: Don't worry, I'll sort it all out
Blue: I trust you on that
The two kept walking until Blue spotted something in the grass. It was a purple, blue flower, and it intrigued him.
Blue: Hey, that flower looks kind of cool
Eveline: Huh....I've never seen this type of flower before
Blue: Let's take it!
Eveline: You sure?
Blue: Why not? It's a flower and we might even win an award for discovering a new flower! Think about the money!
Eveline: Are you sure that you will get money from that? Let alone a lot of it?
Blue: Yes, I'll be able to go band for band with Gojo
Eveline: No one can, and you know that
Blue: Except for Hercule Satan
Eveline: Isn't that Fraud money?
Blue: Not all of it, anyways, this is mine!
Blue picks up the flower and begins to inspect it. The colour scheme it had, made it look unique and special, he could also feel something from it.
He stores it inside of his trench coat and goes back to Eveline, taking her hand and walking towards the drop off point. The pilot was there and opened the hatch for the two, they sit down and wait as the pilot takes off.
Eveline decided to get more comfortable with Blue, sitting sideways on his lap. She wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him one time before getting close to his chest.
Blue wraps his arms around her waist and closes his eyes. This felt nice to him, and while he wasn't the best at understanding relationships....now he has two girls that will help him.

The two had finally made it back to the base, and were greeted by Chris himself.
Chris: Blue......Eveline
Eveline: U-Umm...hey...Chris
Blue: Don't worry, she was under my supervision
Chris: Like I should trust that....anyways, how did the mission go?
Blue: Good.
Eveline: Very good.
Blue: Did what I had to, saw the Leader of CORE
Chris: Wait, what-?
Blue: And I killed him! So he won't be a problem anymore
Chris: You....killed him?
Blue:....I-I was forced to
Chris: And how do you feel after that?
Blue:.....Not good
Eveline: Very not good
Chris: Well, that's done and dusted. Come on in, everyone is here
Blue: Everyone?
Chris: [Sighs] Everyone....
Eveline: You don't seem to like that happening
Chris: This is a place for work, not social gatherings. They have their temporary houses now
Blue: Well, now that we've done your mission, we can start repairing the village
Chris: You're right, follow me
Chris leads the two inside where everyone was chilling, Ethan was the first to noticed the return of his Brother and walks over with Mia, Rose and Elena.
Ethan: Hey, you're back
Mia: You didn't get hurt, right?
Blue: Umm, I may....have had an encounter with Mr Core Leader himself.....
Mia: What?!
Ethan: Where is he now?
Blue: Dead....by my hands
Elena: Oh.....are you okay with...taking the life of another man?
Blue: No, but...we move
Mia: How did you do it?
Blue: Let's just say....I discovered a bit more about myself
Ethan: You're going to have to go onto detail about it later
Blue: I will
Blue takes Rose from Mia as he missed his little Niece, he starts to play with her while the others noticed Blue and Eveline's returning figures.
Ashley: Blue! You're back!
Blue: Ashley? You're-?
Ashley: Still here? Yes! Because you're here!
Blue: G....Good to know?
Donna: Is....she interested in Blue as well?
Leon: So, little man, how was it?
Blue: The mission? Pretty good
Jake: Great, because you weren't going to get an extreme one
Rebecca: You're still recovering from your Coma, and it's important that you get your rest
Blue: Right....
Claire: You okay there?
Blue: Yeah, why?
Jill: It sounds like you're not sure of that
Heisenberg: I think it's because he is hiding something
Blue: Hiding?
Sheva: Are you?
Blue: N-No! Maybe.....
Helena: Blue....
Blue: I'll....explain later
Angie: Later?!
Daniela: You can't say it now?
Blue: Well, I'm not sure of it right now, which is why I'm hesitant
Cassandra:.....What happened to you while you were gone?
Blue:....A lot
Bela: If you're not comfortable, then you don't need to say it
Alcina: Yes, but I'm intrigued to know why you're like this when you were sent on a "recon" mission
Donna: Whatever it is, I'll be there for you
Blue: [Smiles] I know you will, oh right....Eveline?
Eveline: Yes?
Blue:.....Y....You going to explain?
Eveline: Oh right, everyone I umm....I wanted to say that I.....love Blue and I'm sharing....him with Donna
Everyone:......
Donna&Angie: She did it!
Eveline: Umm...everyone?
Blue: You okay? Have I also unlocked the power to stop time?
Jill: Umm....congratulations-?
Leon:.......BLUE, YOU LUCKY SON OF A BITCH-!
