Day 27: Disciplinary(pt.3)


Alter Ego's P.O.V.

I saw Queen of Hatred grabbing Y/N before crying her eyes out. I remained shocked by what happened but quickly snapped out of it. In an attempt to help Y/N, I stepped closer but I was immediately stopped by Queen of Hatred.

QoH: Stay away!

Alter Ego: H-Huh?!

She yelled at me with a voice filled with animosity, ready to attack me if I tried insisting.

QoH: You weren't even able to protect him, what makes you think that you can help him?!

She continued shooting deadly glares at me, slowly making me feel like I was a dead weight. I gritted my teeth and tried to ignore her remarks but they kept bouncing inside my head, almost torturing me.

Alter Ego: I-I'm trying! I'm trying to help him, stop judging me!

The previous memories of all the times that I had to see him die passed through my mind, forcing me to watch every single one of them again. I grabbed head and started applying pressure to it with my fingers, hiding them in my hair.

QoH: You can't even accept that you're too weak to protect him.

Alter Ego: ...

They continued looping, not stopping, reminding me of my past failures, reminding me of my past attempts to save him, my past attempts to escape this damned facility with him. It continued torturing me while Y/N was still unconscious.

QoH: Get out of my sight, you're not worth the trouble.

She then started to heal Y/N with her abilities, ignoring my presence in the hallway. My legs quivered in anxiety and I felt my heart ripping in half, I can't even do something as simple as stop him from dying...

...I'm worthless, I'm pathetic, I'm... I'm... I wish that I wasn't useless, I want to be able to help him but I can't do a single thing right, nobody wants to carry a burden like me, someone who isn't capable of doing basic things.

Alter Ego's mind: Patheticpatheticpatheticpatheticpatheticpatheticpatheticpatheticpathetic...

My mind was going against me, forcing my fears and doubts to overwhelm me and soon, I started tearing up from all the negativity in my head, unable to remove them.

Stop looking at me, I tried my best, you don't have any right to judge me! Leave me alone, I not useless, liar liar liar liar liar LIAR LIAR LIAR!


Y/N's P.O.V.

Y/N: ...

I watched in horror the scene in front of my eyes, multiple corpses of my coworkers were laying on the ground, blood leaving them. Along with them, multiple abnormalities were also killed, forever eliminated from this Earth.

Y/N's mind: What the fuck happened here?

I walked through the bodies from both sides and then recognized the ones from fixers, the ones accompanying the one behind this attack. One of the most fearsome threats that we could be against, an Arbiter directly sent against us from the Head.

Y/N: ...

I pushed them aside and kept going, only carrying a weak pistol along with a dagger, still more effective than the equipements that we were given at first.

Y/N's mind: So many bodies... who killed them all?

I continued foward and then saw the final duel, the Red Mist extremely wounded, holding herself up with the sword made of flesh that she carried around during this mess. She was gritting her teeth while facing the Arbiter, a woman with black hair, black like the night itself and black like her outfit.

???: Still standing? Who would have thought that someone like you would end up in a place like this... So many possibilities with this power, just to use it for a selfish goal.

She raised her hand without a single care in her eyes, still smirking though. I could feel an intense amount of energy forming in the palm of her hand.

???: Alas, this where we say goodbye.

I gritted my teeth in turn before rushing in, shooting the one trying to kill everyone here.

...She dodged the bullet the moment my finger pressed the trigger, almost like she predicted it. She turned around and gave me a pair of dead eyes staring at me while the one who told me to stay hidden gave me a shocked expression.

Y/N: It ain't over if I say otherwise!

I said that while glaring at the Arbiter, the being capable of deleting me from existence because of the power gap between us. I pointed the tip of my small knife in her direction and protected the wounded girl behind me, trying to give her an opportunity to finish her.

???: That expression, the one showing that you lack the intention of running away.

Red Mist: Y/N, I told you to not go!

She yelled at me, angry that I didn't listen to her. I gracefully looked back at her and gave her a smile.

Y/N: If I die then so be it, learn from my mistakes and become stronger.

I simply repeated the words that she gave me before leaving me on my own and saw her frowning, trying to gather her strength to stop me from doing what I was about to do, only to be too slow.

Y/N: So... you're one behind this mess.

???: Not so quick on deductions, I see.

Y/N: I played the fool card, of course I knew, your little spy gave me the information I needed.

I said that with an unfazed look, ready to die for the cause, being able to send her in Hell is all I needed right now, knowing that she will eternally suffer 6 feet under.

???: I will have to punish her once I leave this ruined place.

Y/N: Bold of you to assume that you'll get out of here alive.

???: ...Bold of me indeed, I am quite confident in my abilities.

She raised her hand and I started running to the side of the room and when I reached the wall, I jumped against it and bounced off of it, jumping over the powerful slashes created from the Arbiter.

Y/N: ...

I landed back on my feet and spun around while emptying my magazine in her body, doing close to no damage. She ignored them and then prepared a second wave of attacks, a wave that I was already ready to dodge.

How? They told me, the one who decided to attach themselves to me, forever wishing to be part of my existence, overprotective to the point of predicting the scenarios and giving me a possibilty where I won't be harmed.

Red Mist was considered to be the most suitable person to handle EGOs and I can't deny it, she's powerful but unlike her, I am the best when it comes to make the abnormalities docile, as long as I am there for them.

Result? You're seeing it right now.

???: Impressive, for a little slug, you sure know some tricks.

Y/N: Unlike you "Garrion", you seem to repeat your same moves over and over again.

Garrion: ...

She then created a dark pillar before throwing it at me. I rolled to the side and saw it fly by me, destroying the wall behind me. I jumped back in position and rushed at her, attacking her with the dagger once close enough.

...The attack was stopped when she grabbed my hand and we both stared at each other, trying to overpower the other one. I went for a punch in her guts and it successfully landed, giving me the time to do a swipe in her face, leaving a red mark from my fist.

Garrion: Your whole being seems to burn with a will of steel, is this what it feels like to be human?

Y/N: Like I'll tell you that.

I charged once more and she looked at me run around and when I jumped for another hit, she blocked it before going for an attack herself, punching me in the chest and forcing me to exhale my breath.

Y/N: !

I felt my bones not reacting well to the hit and I dropped on the floor, hearing Kali's concern for me in the distance. I coughed and refused to give up, placing myself back in a fighting position.

Garrion: ...

She extended her arms and 7 pillars appeared before charging through the room, right in my direction. I felt something pull me away and knew that it was them trying to keep me alive so I followed them.

One of the pillars went for my legs and I jumped over it before using it as a platform for me to jump through them and going straight for Garrion, who didn't expect me to use her attacks to my advantage.

Y/N: ...

I landed right on top of her and threw her on the ground along with me. We both exchanged a look and I glared at her while she was giving me a creepy smile.

Garrion: Trying to overthrow the Head itself, you must be the bold one in this room.

Y/N: I have better things to do than listening to a group of people who watch people get killed every days without doing a single thing.

I stabbed her in the shoulder and she grabbed my arms before applying an inhuman grasp, trying to break them. I reacted and kicked her in the stomach repeatedly while still applying pressure to the knife piercing through her body.

Garrion: A flame struggling to survive, that is what you are... an intense one, one that we cannot ignore.

She used her power and threw me away from her, landing right next to my empty pistol. I got back on my feet and immediately saw her unleashing a wave of slashes, allowing me no time to dodge. I braced myself by covering my face with my arms and waited for the hit.

The slashes reached me and I felt like I was stabbed everywhere at the same time, causing me to scream in pain before dropping to one knee. I gritted my teeth once more and tried to ignore the pain, seeing my open wounds closing at a fast rate.

Garrion: Impressive, yet inhuman, how is this possible for a person like you?

Y/N: I may not be as smart as some geniuses in this world, I may not be as strong as the Red Mist or the Arbiters but I know something that I'm good at: abnormality duty. They gave me their proof of attachment to me, a permanent contact with them and they won't rest until I come back for them.

I stood back on my feet and grinned at her.

Y/N: I decided to call them "EGO gifts", not strong enough to be used as a weapon but strong enough for me to increase my abilities.

My suit was stuck under the large amount of gifts that I was carrying with me, all from different abnormalities, I was the only one capable of supporting them and use them to their fullest, unlike EGO suits and EGO weapons.

Y/N: With them, they won't allow me to die, even if I try, I became one of them and I will avenge their deaths by taking care of you.

I closed my hands into fists and gave her a serious stare, showing her that I was ready to keep fighting. She didn't do anything but simply smiled back at me, a look filled with amazement along with curiosity.

Garrion: One capable of stopping an Arbiter without any single weapon, truly an impressive feat, one that the Head will be interested to see.

Y/N: ...

Garrion: Worry not, I know that the Head would find some uses out of you, it would be more productive to keep you around.

Red Mist: I won't let you get him!

She yelled that before throwing the sword right through her stomach, impaling her into the wall. Garrion looked at her fatal wound, a blade going through her vital points and she looked at me.

Garrion: Buying time...

She grinned at me once more and then I heard a worried voice reaching to me.

Alter Ego: Y/N!

I turned around and saw her blocking a pillar going for my head with her body. She was launched across the room before getting smashed between the wall and the flying pillar, widening her eyes before closing them.

Garrion: The Head... will find you, nothing will change.

She closed her eyes too and her body dropped, showing me that she was dead. I looked back to Alter Ego and ran to her before grabbing her body, now that the pillar was gone.

Y/N: Alter Ego, can you hear me?!

I yelled while touching her delicate face, not responding to my question. I repeated the question multiple times but she never opened her eyes.

Y/N: ...

I felt tears forming in my eyes and I turned around, seeing Kali on the ground too. I ran to her and grabbed her hand, making her look at me.

Y/N: Don't die on me Kali, it's not that bad-

Kali: I've done my part Y/N... I know that I won't make it.

Y/N: Don't say that, it's not too late!

She dropped her head on the ground and weakly glanced at me with her eyes, the life in her eyes almost gone.

Kali: ...I was glad to meet you Y/N, I really am and don't ever... forget it.

Y/N: Kali?

She closed her eyes too and stopped moving, leaving me alone in this room.


...

...

Y/N: ...

I woke up in a bed and when I looked around, I saw Hava in her white uniform giving me a grin.

Hava: Sup sleepyhead, got some fun in the dream world?

Y/N: Is the shift completed?

Hava: That's a little late to ask that, you slept the whole day, recovering from that injury.

Y/N: A whole day?!
