Vincent heard her, but couldn't stop fighting. It was as if his blade was now in control. Vincent and the man wielding Soul Edge clashed again and again, each clash shaking Kiki's heart. She wouldn't be oblivious to this like she was Vincent's power of fear.
Finally, Vincent and the man stood ten yards apart, facing one another. Soul Edge glowed ominously in the man's hand, while Vincent's blade didn't shine at all. Vincent was breathing heavily, but the other man showed no sign of fatigue.
"I must end this battle.... By conquering Soul Edge, I will conquer myself.... Perhaps then you will love me, Sailor Moon.... That is the only thing I have left to live for...." Vincent meant this literally. He truly believed that the hope that Kiki would one day fall in love with him was the only reason he didn't commit suicide.
Vincent closed his eyes and raised his sword. The other man responded by doing the same.
"Noli manere in memoria...." Vincent said. It meant "won't remain in memory."
Then Vincent started chanting something, almost singing.
"Mi fili veni, veni veni mi fili.
Mi fili veni, veni veni mi fili.
Mi fili veni, veni veni mi fili.
Mi fili veni, veni veni mi fili."
Vincent suddenly lunged forward, as did the other man.
"Qui mortem invitivas!
Poena funesta natus!
Noli nomen vocare!
Ille iterum veniet!"
As Vincent sung, his sword sung through the air, slashing not at the man, but at Soul Edge itself!
"Evil.... BEGONE!!" Vincent cried, seperating his blades and executing a spectacular Kaitengiri attack that shattered Soul Edge and killed the man wielding it!!
"Ego mos nunquam intereo! I will never die!"
Soul Edge and Vincent's blades shattered, and the man wielding it burned away.
Vincent fell, as if dead.
SoulCaliber appeared, shining like the new dawn, and laid across Vincent's chest, as a sword used in a funeral would be.
Kiki-chan.... My only wish.... My only reason for existence.... Is to hope that you will fall in love with me one day.... If I should die.... It will be a pointless life.... You saw me only as a friend.... It hurt me greatly.... It still does.... I can only hope.... That you will save my life.... There is but one way.... Your love must bring me back.... I am too weak to go on without it.... I am so sorry....
((A Kaitengiri is a "spinning slash" attack.
My character will be needed quite a lot in this RP's future, by the way. He has about 15 minutes until he falls into an irreversable coma. Kiki therefore has about 14 minutes and 50 seconds to save him, and that will mean falling in love with him. It would take a critical loss like this one to awaken such feelings.
EDIT: I have noticed that kokobean22 has returned. She was active the day before yesterday. Therefore, this thread shouldn't be locked for necromancy. If it is locked, then I'll start a new thread to continue it. Anyway, she should be the next to post, soo....))
