Body and Mind

Yakura struggled to escape, but it was no use. In additoin to golem's tight hand, he felt the poisonous scent, also there were thorns growing in golem's hand that stung to Yakura. He couldn't changed his form, cause the pain from all the things around him was making him lose focus. He tried to change his body parts to fire to block the scent, but it wasn't as efficient as he thought. The golem's hand was getting more and more tight. The more it gets tight, the more Yakura got angry and more he tried to move. His bones started to crack and he was losing consciousness. At that moment, his rage reached to a breaking point. His body started to turn into dark. Some dark energy leaked from the golems hand, but before it could even understand what it is, Yakura smashed its hand. Before it could even react, Yakura smashed it from different parts of its body and ripped it apart.

Shizen: WHAT IN THE… WHAT KIND OF NONSENSE IS THIS!?

Yakura: You shouldn't worry about what this is, you should worry about what it will do.

The souls Yakura summoned stopped struggling to rescue him from the golems and returned to him. He immediatly attacked to other golems. While he was destroying one, the other one tried to escape with Shizen. However, it was no use. Yakura killed the golem in the blink of an eye and attacked the other. He created a giant dark sword and split it in half. Shizen fell to the ground. She stood up and attacked Yakura. Yet her attacks had zero effect on Yakura. He sent a dark beam to her, that created a sphere around her. Her screams were echoing from the sphere. When she got out of it, Yakura was right in front of her.

Shizen: I… don't… accept this. I… can not lose to…

Yakura grabbed her from her neck and stabbed her heart. Some of his monsters around them were shocked. They didn't know whether to attack Yakura or run away. But this hesitation caused them a lot. Yakura's rage didn't wear off. He attacked them all. Kill them one by one, but very quickly. When all of them were killed, Yakura's Dark Form dissappeared slowly and he passed out.

Elsewhere:

Rading her book in peace, searching for new knowledge, has been interrupted by a shocking sense. Shina dropped her book.

Shimana: So… You are still ALIVE.

Riigoo enters the library.

Rigoo: What is it. I heard a noise.

Shimana: Oh, it's nothing my dear. I just dropped my book, that's all.

Rigoo: You dropped your book? My beloved wife drops a book, huh. Than there really is something wrong. Tell me woman, what is going on.

Shimana: I… can't sense Shizen anymore.

Riigoo: WHAT!?

Shimana: I was not not in a direct contact with her, but I sensed her presence dissappear.

Riigoo punched a wall.

Riigoo: So, she is dead and I know perfectly who the idiot is.

Shimana: Yes. He started to come for us.

Riigoo: I TOLD YOU STAY IN CONTACT WITH EVERYONE, ALL THE TIME!

Shimana: And you told us to keep him as a prisoner, rather than killing him.

Riigoo: Don't oppose my decisions. You know better than us how usefull his body and mind was. And I don't think you wanted him to die, right.

Shimana: I just didn't want him to suffer more.

Riigoo: Well, it's too late for that now. Keep in contact with others, ALL THE TIME.

Riigoo left.

Shimana: Oh my child, why didn't you just, move on. Why are you still torturing yourself? Please… Just stop.

Back to where we left:

Terrible visions. All the people he murdered, all the people who have suffered because of him were still haunting him. Their screams, their suffering were echoing in his head.

Yakura: Stop… Please… I didn't… want to… STOP!

He woke up. When he woke up, he saw Kowata, Shoo, Akira and Shion right in front of him.

Yakura: Oh c**p!

Shion: Wasn't expecting us?

Yakura stood up. Shion slapped him but it didn't seem to have any effect on Yakura, however it did hurt Shion's hand.

Shion: Ouch! What are you made of, rock?

Yakura: I can focus on my energy to direct it my body parts, which makes it a lot harder than a rock.

Akira: But i saw that monster tore your body apart.

Yakura: Like I said, I need to "focus" to be able to do that.

Shoo: So… This is Shizen, right.

Yakura: Yeah. In the Fleeaa-I think that is not the right way to describe… Now atleast.

Shion: I can't believe this. She is dead. One of our porblems is gone.

Akira: But man! Look at all those corpses. You were on a rampage, man.

Shoo: What exactly happened here? They are all… murdered in a scary way and you were passed out when we find you.

Yakura: Remember my Dark Form in the cave?

Shoo: Yes?

Yakura: I still can't control that power well. It caused a lot of trouble for me, so I rather not to use it. But my anger ignores my decision and unleashes it anyway.

Akira: Uhhh… I don't really get it.

Kowata: Emotions effect the use of energy within your body. They cause your energy to act a way you would not want. Like; saddnes causes him to turn into water form, when he is shocked, Ice Form comes, when he is angry, Fire Form comes. But if his anger exceeds a point, his energy will go crazy and turn him into his Dark Form. The reason behind the unwanted transformation is, activeness of the energy type. Ice is not active much, so when the your emotions causes you to petrify, your body will be frozen. Anger on the other hand, causes your energy to be insanely active. Which is followed by Fire Form and Dark Form.

Akira: I don't get the energy activeness.

Kowata: Basically, it their flow through your body. You also create an aura around you, that indicates how much energy is unleashed. Ice and Earth Form don't really have that kind of aura. But Dark Form creates a great aura. You can even see this on his body. Dark Energy going out from his body shows that.

Akira: Ohh! I get it now... not completely but better than before. Yo by the way, Yakura. Can you get her soul, too? It would be usefull.

Shoo: Don't he need to go to The Pit to get her soul?

Shion: Yeah, but I am sure you can't find her in the good side.

Yakura: That is not actually true.

Akira: Uhhh, whose?

Yakura: All.

Akira: Oh, okay. Go on then.

Yakura: I'd like to, but I really have no time for this. There are a lot of things for me to do: Restore the body and energy, clean the remaining monsters of Shizen, kill the other Absolutes, find the Avatar and restore my honor aaand more.

Shion: Come on! Stop being all edgy and tell us.

Yakura: Oh yes... I am the edgy here. You are totally not overly sincere or something. I am th...

Kowata: Might I suggest something else?

Yakura: What... it is?

Kowata: You are too tired to travel alone right now. I will take us all to a safer place. While on the way, you can both rest and talk with them.

Yakura stared them for a few second.

Yakura: GAAAH! FINE! But you will not ask anything other than I tell, or I'll make sure Kowata drops you while we are up high.

Akira: Come oooon! You wouldn't do that to your friends, do ya?

Yakura: Don't count on it.

They started to fly. There were no nearby villages there. So Kowata started to look for a good place. Meanwhile Yakura started to meditate. About two hours later, Kowata found a good mountain to stop.

Kowata: This seems like a good spot. Wakey wakeey. We have arrived.

Yakura: I thought you wanted me to talk while we were on the way.

Kowata: We found a place faster than I thought. Also didn't wanted to interrupt your meditation. You are not really friendly when someone disturbs you.

Shion: Does he ever friendly?

Yakura: I don't think so.

Akira: This is not our subject now. I DEMAND TO NOW WHAT HAPPENS TO DEAD!

Yakura: You do know, many people who demanded something from me died, right?

Akira: sorry

Yakura: But, it's fine. Let's start. Ahem. What death means to you?

Shoo: Uhh... Losing your body?

Shion: Going to "That Guy's" pit?

Akira: Not having to worry about food?

Shoo and Shion turned to Akira.

Akira: What?

Yakura: They are not actually true. Except for the food part.

Akira: HA! See?

Yakura: As a living creature, you have a physical body and a mind. Death means your body lost its functions and can no longer go on. So the bond between your body and mind breaks and you became a non-physical existence. This existence can't interract with physical creatures, they are kinda on a different level, so that's why they don't see, hear or feal each other. There is a way to make them interract with each other. Someone who can interract with them can give them physical like bodies, like me. You can see the minds in "his" pit, too. Buuut, if you are there, you are mostlikely a non-physical existence like them. But you got the point. Speaking of which. Misaooshii's Pit is nothing but a lie.

Shoo, Akira, Shion: What?

Yakura: They say if you be a good person, which is just worshipping them, you can find peace. If not you will be punished. But it is worng, minds don't need a place to find peace or be punished. A innocent mind can be in peace everywhere. If a person ha done terrible things, it will be depending on them to suffer or not. They mostlikely suffer, because the thoughts kinda haunt them. And even if they didn't care or felt guilty, they will feel it when they are dead. There might be rare cases though. The Pit's main purpose is to make people obey when they are alive and use them when they are dead. Like controlling them, using their energy or wisdom. That happens on the both sides. You can feel peace in that pit, but that is mostlikely temporarely. Now back to our main subject. Shizen's mind wouldn't go to the pit. She just likes to do whatever she wants and when you are dead, these desires becomes even stronger. So I doubt she'd waste her time with these. And it wouldn't be great for me to search for her soul, cause she will definetly not be happy when we find each other.

Akira: Wow! I think I need some time to... just think about these.

Shoo: We all do.

Yakura: Yeah. These are some... intense truths, but you get used to it.

Kowata: Since the story ended, we can talk on our next plan. Shoo, why don't you tell us what we will do?

Shoo: Sure! But first things first we will rest here for a few hours, then we will start.

Akira and Shion: Sure thing!

They turned to Yakura:

Yakura: ...Oh, right. I am all ears.
