4 - Overflow

She seems a bit distraught, seeing the man she loved and shared so many memories with suddenly with another woman.

"I am glad I could be here to see you happy Sirocco..."

She looks out the window, not being able to look at the two together for that long. "???"

She stares at the food, but for she doesn't seem really hungry. She decides to humor the situation by taking a few sips, but she occasionally eyes Vayu with a hint of suspicion.

No... there is no way it's that simple... This world hasn't shown us anything to be happy about other than for each other...

She then notices Tsuzune looking out the window and cautiously takes a peek at whatever she's fixated on, wondering if that's the cue.

*crash*

Out of nowhere a bullet flies through the window and crashes right into Vayu's chest. A heavy scream of agony and pain follows as Vayu falls down in pain and shock.

"The hell!? ... Venom...!"

Sirocco smashes through the remainder of the bay window and quickly tackles the shooter! He looks at the man wearing a children's raccoon mask...

"T-That's Aurora's from the county fair...!"

Sirocco starts punching at the man repeatedly!

"Who are you!? Why did Venom send you!! ANSWER ME!!!"

The man kicks Sirocco off and jumps back removing his mask...



"Man... You're so weak hearted..."

Sirocco steps back and shudders...

"D-Daryll... Why...?"

!!!

She rushes towards Vayu as hopeless as it was. "So you leave him once again...I shall do whatever I can to make him happy on your behalf...I apologize I could not save you..." 


She hops out of the window and behind Sirocco to witness the quarrel between the two.

Her eyes widen as she processes the sight of the blood. For a moment, she had familiar images flash through her head -- but no, this was different than that. She tried to avoid putting picture to picture as she rushed after the two, she hopped out the window and drew her blade. She confronted the person without hesitation -- an intense glare on her face as she stood and looked out at the killer.

"Who are you?! What iz de meaning of dis?! What have you done?!" She shouted as she raised her blade, prepared to strike if the stranger made any sudden movements. She was prepared to fight for her master unless he said otherwise.

"What have I done? Justice... Little miss, Justice demands retribution..."

Points his gun at her and smiles.

"Are you precious to the little detective? He doesn't deserve anything... The justice he seeks is dark! He'd sacrifice a million lives to accomplish his goals! He'd sell his wife and kid to defeat Venom... Isn't that right, Sirocco?"

"I... I'd never endanger my family! Daryll! You're my best friend! Please! "

Daryll laughs and fires twice missing Shira by inches...

"... Even you know it... You deserve punishment for your actions... That face... Guilty written all over it! Hahahaha! A million years in prison would be too light for your crimes! Letting your wife die? Your daughter hating you? Even you know that a death sentence is too light! I will burn the feeling of guilt until you beg to die!"

Sirocco falls on his knees...

"It's not true.... It's not true.... I.... Me....? Was I guilty?"

Daryll waves his hands as magical shackles lock Sirocco's hands...

"Let me take you... To an eternal punishment..."

She stands in front of Sirocco, looking at Daryll furiously.

"Whatever he has done, it gives you no right to take away what is precious to him, do you not realize just how much it pains him every day, that he could not stop this Venom organization?! It pains him every single day, yet this is what you deem proper punishment for his actions? Someone such as you has no right to deliver eternal punishment, in fact no one does, if you think yourself still correct in your actions..." She pulls both of her chakrams out and spins them around. "Then you must go through me!"

She lets out a laugh at this man, lowering her sword, and she keeps at it for a few seconds before gradually stopping.

"Oh, Master, dese delusions of yours are de most comical ding, I must say..." She says with a smirk. "You would go so far as to call sacrifice a crime? A crime in which dere was no intention -- no heart behind it. No-no, dere iz no sin in dat, I'm afraid. To be guilty for such a ding would be ... mere delusion. Jes... " She looks to Sirocco with a solid gaze.

"Master, how much of dis iz actually your fault? Because I see no crime -- only de circle of life and death. To say dat he seeks a justice so dark -- no, you do not know what de meaning of de word is. After all, what iz justice anyways? De means to de truth, jes?"

She puts her blade away and looks back to Daryl with a smirk again.

"Guilt... I know little of it. But when you've walked de line of sin and learned not to fear what is truly dark, den you have de right to claim what you wish. Tell me master, do you know what dat means? Would you equate yourself to a criminal -- have you truly walked de path of sin or iz it all what you wish to believe? Look at Master Tsuzune -- what does her gaze say of you? In her eyes do you see fear...? Do you see resentment?"

"I... I'm... I'm a defender of truth... Tsuzune, Travis, Shira... Even Vayu believed it!"

Sirocco stands up as his sword magically forms in his hands...

"A land that defies reality... Ha... This is my struggle? What do I struggle for? The truth! A pure one!"

Daryll stands up as he fires a shot at Sirocco hitting him in the chest...

"Then you can die with your wife if you cannot comply with MY judgement! I am the judge, jury and executioner!"

Sirocco takes the bullet and stands up after taking the bullet impact...

"Enough... You may have been my friend... You will never understand me though..."

"Girls, what do you see in a man like this? He'll only betray you...!"

Sirocco raises his sword and prepares his technique...

"... They believe in me... That's all that matters..."

"You are wrong, Sirocco believe in justice, and has a pure hear full of good intentions, he would never think of betraying us! You do not know the Sirocco that I love! Now stay there and let his blade bring divine justice upon you!" She looks to Sirocco. "Finish this dear, overcome this darkness that clouds your heart!"


She puts her chakrams away and gives him a quick kiss on the lips.

"I trust you can do what is necessary, Master. After all, to tell a lie is a sin itself. In you, I could hardly see that."

She turns her back to the man, giggling to herself as she does.

"... Let me show you what my mind has to say..."



Sirocco becomes invincible and his MP increases by 28!

"... For all that was lost..."

Sirocco casts Haste

"... For those who suffered..."

Sirocco casts Competence

"... For those who died in the dark age of law..."

Sirocco Casts Conditioning

"... For those who believe in me! For Tsuzune! For Shira! For Travis! For the camp!!!"

Sirocco unleashes [Trueslash]

The member 'Sirocco Vermillion' has done the following action : Roll Die

'Attack Dice (+1)' : 5, 13, 4

Daryll falls to his knees and coughs blood...

"You... You... I'll kill you... One day..."

"Sirocco, you are a strong man, and this power you have attained only proves how strong you are, please keep living on, remembering how strong you were here."


She looks at him with a smile and her eyes closed.

She looks to Sirocco and Tsuzune.

"I believe Master Tsuzune has been waiting for this moment to come as long az you have, Master Sirocco. Please, feel proud of what you've done. I do not know how dis world works or why such dings happen, but I pray dat you find happiness in this turn of events."

She has a bit of a sad but relieved smile as she looks to him...

Sirocco stands up...

"One more thing before we leave..."

Sirocco walks into the house and looks at Vayu...

"S...Sirocco..."

Sirocco insantly gets next to her.

"V-Vayu!"

"I... I'm sorry that I have to leave you..."

"W-Wait... You can come back with us! Travis... He can fix you!"

"... Sirocco... Stop..."

"..."



"... I'm sorry..."

"Stop blaming yourself... You don't need anymore punishment or guilt..."

Vayu touches the shackles as they disapate and everything starts to fade...

"Vayu... I'm happy I met you..."

"... *giggles* ... I loved you~ Don't forget it, okay? There are others who can replace me... But... You are important to others... *smiles at Tsuzune* Take care of him, he's stubborn... but lovable..."

The world fades back into a blank space as Sirocco stands up with a smile of confidence...

"I was innocent this whole time... The only person who thought I was truly guilty... Was myself..."

She sheds a tear at Vayu's last words.

"Yes...I will, I swear I shall make him happy..."


She takes Sirocco's paws into hers. "Let us live on and be happy...together~"

"In a world where sin lies behind every corner, it can be hard to define what iz innocence and guilt. It iz someding I, at times, have found for myself. However, we've but only one purpose -- and out of dat purpose iz our own freedom. Do take care az you will, Master. Please."

She says to him with a bow before she begins to walk off.

"Let's head back... Vayu wanted me to protect those I cared about and to believe in myself, I will follow her last wish."

Sirocco holds onto Tsuzune's hand...

"Let's go back."
