Unless the 8th sin can cause mankind to regress back to pre industrial revolution, be the most powerful living entity on it world, and basically make all of life and religon centered around surviving it then I highly doubt it.

 

Basically Death Whale Sin controls it's world.

Sex Change ninjutsu?

Great DL your out of your flippin mind!

 

You make it sound like a bad thing.

 

Mr 2 Bon Clay, Naruto technically, Emperio Ikanov the miracle worker, transvestites are some of the most nobel people in all of Japanese stories.

 

I am actually intriuged and thought it was clever.

 

Everyone thinks DL turned into a girl since he used that Athena av and Tim still believes I'm a she.

 

You are being overly dramatic.

I loled at the conversation that went on since I left...

 

anyway,

 

[spoiler=Chapter 90]

Chapter 90 - Where he has Gone, You cannot reach him

 

 

Field Sprite froze. She stared at the long-haired girl in a kimono who was standing right in front of her.

 

“What in the…?” Field Sprite managed to say.

 

“How did I do this?” the girl asked herself, seemingly unaware of Field Sprite’s presence.

 

“Hey…what happened? Who are you?” Field Sprite asked.

 

The girl looked up. “Oh, it’s you, Field Sprite. It’s nice to finally meet you.”

 

Field Sprite looked clueless. “What do you mean? Where’s Dark Link?”

 

“Oh, you must mean…well, that’s unimportant right now. I’m just glad no one’s hurt.”

 

”What’s happening here?” Field Sprite asked, exasperated.

 

“Oh, that’s right, you must be confused. I’m Suzuki Hirako. As to where Dark Link, as you call him, has gone…I can’t say for certain. He’s…close by, yet in a place you cannot reach him.” Suzuki said, looking out the window.

 

Field Sprite took a step back, her eyes wide. She shook her head slowly. “You’re lying. He can’t be gone.”

 

“He’s not gone, exactly. But I don’t know when he will return, either. I’m sorry…I knew your feelings for him.” Suzuki replied.

 

Field Sprite looked at the floor. “Liar…”

 

She burst out of the room. Suzuki took a step forward, intent on following her, but decided it was best to leave her alone for the time being.

 

El Make looked inside the room. “Hey, why did Field Sprite just - Whoa! Who’s the chick?”

 

“I’ll explain later. For now, I think we should all get some sleep. It’s rather late. It’ll give Field Sprite time to think things through.”

 

“Wait, so Dark Link disappears to who knows where, a girl wearing a kimono shows up and orders us to go to sleep, and we’re not supposed to be taken aback, or even remotely surprised?” El Make asked as he walked into the room.

 

Kailyn followed El Make in. She was taken aback when she saw Suzuki.

 

“You… who are you?” she asked, her eyes wide.

 

El Make sighed. “Yeah, good luck with that, she didn’t tell me either.”

 

“Why do you look so…familiar?” Kailyn asked, oblivious to El Make’s statement.

 

Suzuki cocked her head. “I look familiar to you? How odd…unless… no, it’s very unlikely. By any chance, do you know who Tomoki Sakami is?”

 

“How do you know that name? How do you know Tomoki?”

 

El Make sighed. “Okay, I’m really lost here. Who’s this Tomoki person?”

 

Kailyn blinked and turned to El Make, as if she wasn’t aware he was there until he said Tomoki.

 

“Tomoki Sakami, whom I used to call Tomo, is my childhood friend.”

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter 91]

Chapter 91 - Tomoki Sakami

 

 

Two girls were playing on swings. The playground was deserted, except for the two giggling girls, who looked to be about the same age. One had to stop gripping the swing to brush the red hair that was blowing on her face when she swung forward.

 

“I’m going to jump!” said one of the girls, laughing.

 

The girl let go of the swing at the height of her forward swing, and she went into the air. Her long black hair and her white dress were blowing in the wind. The girl fell down into the sand. The red-haired girl scraped her feet against the ground to stop, and hopped off when it stopped swinging. She trotted to the girl who had just jumped off the swing and kneeled beside her.

 

“Are you crazy? You could have hurt yourself, Tomo.” she said, though there was a small smile on her face.

 

The black-haired girl looked up and smiled. “I’m okay, in fact, that was fun! You should try it some time.”

 

“So I can die? No way.”

 

The black-haired girl stood up and spread her arms far apart. “Do I look dead to you?”

 

“Well, there’s this part right here that seems to be rotting.” the red-haired girl said, pointing to the girl’s right arm. The girl raised her arm and began examining it in a hurry.

 

”Where? Tell me, I can’t be dying from that, right?”

 

The red-haired girl began laughing. “I’m kidding, of course!”

 

The black-haired girl dropped her arm and began pouting. “You’re so mean, Lyn…”

 

Soon, both girls were sitting on the sand, laughing. The red-haired girl’s blue skirt and white shirt were dirty with sand, and the black-haired girl even had sand in her hair, but still they laughed until the sky began to darken. Finally, the black-haired girl stood up.

 

“Alright, I guess we have to go back home, huh?”

 

“Yeah, I guess so. I’ll miss you, Tomo.”

 

“Don’t say that, Lyn. You’ll still be able to see me off at the airport tomorrow.”

 

The red-haired girl shook her head. “No, I have to go somewhere tomorrow. I’m sorry…”

 

“Then I guess this is goodbye, huh? Remember our promise, Lyn. We’ll meet again one day, and we’ll both have grown up.”

 

The red-haired girl nodded. “I’ll never forget.”

 

The girls parted ways, as both lived in opposite sides of the park. The red-haired girl opened her door and took off her shoes, then walked into her room. She locked the door, sat down on the floor and began sobbing.

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter 92]

Chapter 92 - Sealing of a Soul

 

 

Kailyn finished her sentence and looked toward a far wall, away from El Make and Suzuki. She wondered why this girl looked so much like her childhood friend. Or maybe it was her childhood friend. Yet, she knew it was unlikely.

 

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on, are you telling me this is your childhood friend?” El Make asked.

 

Kailyn turned to face Suzuki. “Well, are you?”

 

Suzuki shook her head. “I met Tomoko Sakami a long time ago, maybe three or four years. What happened after that, well, I don’t think you’d want to know about it.”

 

Kailyn stepped forward. “Tell me, please, what happened to Tomo?”

 

“It was because of a spell cast by that girl that it happened…” Suzuki said, looking out the window with pensive eyes.

 

“Who cast the spell? Tell me what happened!”

 

“I don’t know if that’s her real name, but she called herself Rinne…”

 

Kailyn’s eyes widened. “After the fall of the Ultima, when Creator asked for information on our opponents… Dark Link said his opponent was a young girl named Rinne.”

 

“Well then,” El Make began. “It’s obvious what happened. DL said that Rinne was able to do some kind of sealing technique. Which, judging by the look of things, means that she, in some way, sealed a part of your friend into DL. Or something along those lines, right?”

 

Suzuki pondered for a moment and nodded. “That’s almost correct. You see, A part of the girl wasn’t sealed inside of him, what happened was quite the opposite. A part of him was sealed inside your friend.”

 

Suzuki paused to look out the window for a few moments, and then continued. “To fill the void left by the part of his missing soul, your friend gave him a part of her soul. The end result was that I was created, and have lived inside of Dark Link ever since. I don’t know how I came out, either.”

 

Kailyn took a minute or two to let Suzuki’s words sink in.

 

“Okay…now please tell me …tell me where Tomo is.”

 

Suzuki turned toward Kailyn. “Tomoki was taken by the same person who sealed a part of Dark Link’s soul into her…”

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter 93]

Chapter 93 - Burned Mansion

 

 

Kailyn’s stunned expression turned to that of anger. “We’re going now. We’re going to get Tomo back.”

 

Suzuki shook her head. “Are you crazy? If you tackle that person alone, you’ll be killed.”

 

Kailyn began walking toward the door. “I can at least try. I have to.”

 

“Is that so?” El Make said, making Kailyn stop out of sheer curiosity. “You think going by yourself to save someone who was kidnapped years ago is the best thing to do? If you think rationally, you’ll see the odds that she’s still alive are low as it is, but even if she isn’t dead, consider who you are, and what you’re fighting for. The whole of the Fake Knights are an enemy to the government, and if you just waltz in there it’ll be like handing yourself over in a silver platter. Plus, even if they decide to mess with you by allowing you to try and save her, they’ll still get you in the end. Even if, by some miracle, you get the government, council and all, in a corner, they can always use your friend as a hostage. I’m still not sure why they took your friend, or what this has to do with Dark Link, but giving yourself up to the government hardly seems to help.”

 

Kailyn was looking down at the ground, shaking. She raised her fist and brought it down on a desk, making a small dent on the soft wood.

 

“I know what you’re saying is right,” Kailyn began. “But I still wish there was some way to see if she’s okay…”

 

“Well, the Fake Knights are fighting the government, right? Well then, I’m sure one day you’ll find out more about your friend’s whereabouts. For now, though, we should get some sleep, so we can head back by morning. The quicker we return, the sooner we can set up a plan to find your friend, right?”

 

”That’s probably best. We’ll sleep here tonight, and head out in the morning.”

 

Kailyn looked down at her sleeping bag and crawled inside it. She was asleep in mere moments. Suzuki crawled inside Dark Link’s sleeping bag and closed her eyes. El Make simply sat down in a chair, looking out the window, pondering.

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter 94]

Chapter 94 - Only the Beginning

 

 

“So you failed, Gluttony?”

 

“Yes, master. Lust, Sloth, and Envy were destroyed, and I managed to escape.”

 

A round black ball stood on the floor, looking down at the ground in front of a large chair in which sat a tall man wearing a long grey robe. His yellow hair fell down to his shoulders.

 

“I made you three to be unaffected to physical attacks. Why were you the only one not killed?”

 

”I don’t know, master! Before he disappeared, Envy relayed to me that one of the knights had a power that could harm us!” said Gluttony, nervously.

 

The dim light in the secluded room shone between the man sitting in the chair and Gluttony. The man’s attention seemed to be drawn away from Gluttony as he pondered.

 

“Someone with the power to wipe out sins is outside the government? This project was supposed to take care of the Fake Knights once and for all, but if they have someone with that ability, we may have to rethink. Well, for now, you’re dismissed, Gluttony.”

 

Gluttony attempted a bow and disappeared.

 

“Maybe we should send the rest of the sins, along with a few capable warriors, to finish them? The Fake Rebellion already weaken them enough, I believe.” suggested a voice from behind the chair.

 

“You’re one to talk, right? If we hadn’t found you near that mansion, you’d be in serious trouble. What were you thinking, removing your seal like that?”

 

“I had no choice. It was all I could do to match his power. Someone like that would probably give even you a run for your money.”

 

“I doubt it…” the man replied.

 

The man sat there for a few seconds, looking up at the dim light hanging over the ceiling. If the Fake Knights were destroyed, I would mean plenty of grief off his shoulders, but who’s to say that they would succeed? The sins failed once before. If he sent someone from the council, maybe that would do the trick.

 

“So, I’m thinking of sending that pair, along with the rest of the sins.”

 

“Those two, huh? Don’t you think you’re overdoing it?”

 

“We let them live once before. This time, I want to make sure the Fake Knights are destroyed for good.”

 

“Alright, so you want me to bring them back to that mansion?” asked Milk, stepping in within range of the dim light.

 

”That would make it easier than finding them one by one.”

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter 95]

Chapter 95 - Magazine on the Hyperion

 

 

The sun shone through the window. Kailyn slowly opened her eyes. She looked around. El Make was sitting with his head on the desk, his eyes closed. Suzuki was rolled up in the sleeping bag, sleeping soundly. Kailyn wiggled herself out of the sleeping bag and got up, careful not to wake any of them up. She reached inside her pocket, and pulled out several small, grey strips. She placed one gently on El Make’s arm, and another one on Suzuki’s forehead. She walked out of the room, looking for Field Sprite. After minutes of walking, she spotted red hair on top of a desk, and walked in closer. Field Sprite had fallen asleep on the desk. Kailyn placed a strip on Field Sprite’s forearm and gripped the last one tightly.

 

“Let’s see, how did Creator say these worked again? Oh, right. Take us to Deustodo’s mansion.”

 

Kailyn stood there for a few seconds, as if expecting something to happen.

 

“Alright, how about…take us to the place where Deustodo’s mansion is.”

 

Kailyn felt an odd, weightless sensation, as everything went black for a split second. When she could see again, she noticed Field Sprite sleeping on the ground next to her. El Make and Suzuki were sleeping a few feet from them. Kailyn took a step forward, and her foot stepped on a charred piece of wood. Looking around revealed to her that she wasn’t near Deustodo’s mansion, she was in it.

 

The remains of the mansion had crumbled to the ground. Half a staircase still stood in a corner, creaking from the slightest wind. Wood was scattered throughout what used to be the mansion. Some of it in bunches, some by itself, but they all had one thing in common. They were all singed.

 

“What happened here?” Kailyn muttered.

 

Suzuki stirred and opened her eyes. She sat up and looked around dazed for a few seconds, until her eyes found Kailyn. Suzuki stood up and walked over to her, stepping over and around the various pieces of charred wood.

 

“Kailyn, where are we? Or, rather, how did we get here?”

 

“It was something Creator gave me, the last time I saw him. He told me…if I had to find my way back one day, that these would help me do it.”

 

“So this must be the mansion, huh?” El Make said, approaching them with a tired look in his face.

 

“More like was. What happened to it?” Kailyn asked.

 

“I don’t know, since we were off being mafia at the time. Well, first, we look for anybody, or any signs of anybody being here.”

 

El Make began sifting through the charred wooden debris. Kailyn moved to a large pile of rubble and began setting each piece aside. Suzuki simply began looking around as she walked through the remains of the mansion. After a half hour of searching, they were about to give up, when Kailyn turned around.

 

“Hey, come look at what I found!” she called.

 

El Make, who was closest, walked over and examined it. It was metal, yet it was still semi-covered in rubble, making it impossible to define what it was.

 

“What do you think it is?” Kailyn asked.

 

“Let’s find out…”

 

El Make began sliding his hands over the metal plating, as the wood was blocking his view. His hands stopped and he pulled on a handle. A door swung open, cracking the charred wood blocking its way, to reveal the inside of a cabin of sorts. El Make stepped inside, looking around. There was a seat in front of a control panel to his right. He peered under the seat and pulled out a magazine. He opened it to a random page and gasped.

 

“Whoa, who would have something like this?” he asked himself.

 

El Make walked out of the ship, still carrying the magazine.

 

“Hey, El Make, I think this is a ship. In fact, I think it’s the Hyperion, Creator’s ship…”

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter 96]

Chapter 96 - Seal Expires

 

 

El Make nodded casually. “Oh, so Creator’s a big time pervert?”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

El Make handed the magazine to Kailyn. “Well, I found this under the seat.”

 

“I can’t believe he’d keep something like this under the seat of his ship…right?” Kailyn said, skimming through the magazine.

 

Suzuki approached them, a disappointed look in her face. “Well, I found something, but…any luck here?”

 

“Yeah, we did have quite a lot of luck. In fact, we found Creator’s ship, and we found Creator’s hentai magazine inside. Nothing else inside the mansion, though. So, what did you find?”

 

“Follow me.”

 

Suzuki led El Make and Kailyn to a spot outside the ruined mansion.

 

“I don’t see anything.” El Make stated.

 

Suzuki pointed to the ground. El Make walked closer and saw a broken strap on the ground.

 

“That’s the only thing I found.”

 

“Wait,” said El Make. “That reminds me of the strap that guy had. The one that beat me and Caine when we infiltrated the enemy ship. You know, in the Battle of the Ultima.”

 

“So what could this mean?” Kailyn asked.

 

El Make pondered. “Let’s see, according to Creator, these straps, when broken, unleash the true power of the government’s council members. So the fact that one is laying broken here possibly means there was a fight here, and it involved a council member. We have to assume that the Fake Knights were also involved in the battle. Since there are no other people here, I’m going to guess that there weren’t that many people here at the time of the battle.”

 

“Okay, so what do we do? I have no idea where everyone else is.”

 

Suzuki gasped and pointed at the strap on the ground. It had started to deteriorate before their eyes.

 

“What’s happening?” asked Kailyn.

 

The band flashed as the last remains dissolved away, blinding them for a few seconds. The light vanished. El Make opened his eyes, and to his surprise, everyone was there. Creator rested on the ground, clutching his bleeding stomach. Dark Magician Girl sat a few feet from him, several long slashes on her body and arms. Bagon was simply sitting there next to her, a few scratches along his body. Nexev, out cold, lay on the ground. Chase was unconscious, and Gefhx was kneeling beside him, shaking. Dokuro-chan and Wolfy were looking around confused.

 

“Okay, what the hell just happened?” El Make asked after a few moments of silence.

 

“I have no idea,” said Dark Magician Girl. “I was just fighting the wolf, and now I’m here.”

 

Creator struggled to a sitting position. “It had something to do with that thing. The thing that separated us in the first place…I’m guessing it was on some kind of timer. So when that timer ran out, it brought us back. I don’t see the rebellion, so it must have been designed to send them back to their base or something similar.”

 

El Make nodded. “Yeah, I guess everyone’s here, except for that dude with the black swirling energy.”

 

“You mean Deustodo? He stayed here to fight with Milk if I’m correct. Wherever he is, he’s probably fine, seeing as madness is apparently untouchable.” Creator stated.

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter 97]

Chapter 97 - Inside

 

 

A lone black figure stood on a reddish surface. It was Deustodo. The reddish surface was cracked in many places, and there were sharp rocks sticking out of the ground. The sky was a faded red. Deustodo began to walk, but he stopped. There, on the ground, was a small robot.

 

“Hey, Gir, how did you get here?” Deustodo asked.

 

“I fell down here! This magical man with a big wood thingy bumped me on the head, and I ended up here after a lot of fire appeared! Either that… or I poked you with a stick while I was eating a taco…”

 

“Well, which one is it, Gir?”

 

”I don’t know… they’re too similar…”

 

Deustodo chuckled. “Fine, but we’re getting out of here. Since you think you poked me with a stick…”

 

”Either that, or the magic man.”

 

“Yes, since you think either you poked me with a stick, or the ‘magic man’ put you here, I think I’m inside myself. I find that quite wrong. Not to mention impossible. Well, apparently, it’s possible. Either way, I have to find a way out of here. Gir, come on.”

 

Gir’s eyes suddenly turned red, and he saluted. “Yes, sir!”

 

Deustodo began walking. Gir’s eyes turned blue, and he began following. They walked for hours, yet the landscape did not seem to change. The sky was still a faded red, and the ground was still as cracked as it had been at the beginning of their journey.

 

“We’ve been walking for hours. Man, I’m tired. Wait, I’m tired? How can I be tired? In fact, I didn’t notice this before, but… since when do I have feet to walk with?”

 

“I have feet, and I like feet. I can eat tacos with my feet…” said Gir.

 

Deustodo turned to look at the only thing that was new in the otherwise unchanging landscape. A cliff, right under where the sun shone brightest, was casting a large shadow on Deustodo and Gir. Deustodo thought he saw something on top of the cliff. After staring for a few seconds, he shrugged and turned back. A few moments later, he heard a small giggle.

 

”Come on, Gir. We’re going to check something out.” Deustodo said, standing up.

 

”Are there tacos?”

 

“Depends on where we’re being led…”

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter 98]

Chapter 98 - Crystal beyond Reflection

 

 

“So, what do you think happened, Demma?”

 

Demma, the black figure with pink-and-black striped horns, had proceeded to examining the crystal she had picked up earlier. Turning it slowly in her hand, she gazed deep into the swirling black mist inside.

 

“I don’t know, I mean, from what you said in that boring lecture, Deus is inside this, right, Maths?” Demma replied.

 

Maths sighed. “It’s good to see you were paying attention. What I said was Deus is inside the crystal, but, in essence, he is the crystal. He basically absorbed himself into himself. Get it?”

 

“Not really…this stuff’s not only boring, it’s useless. We don’t need to know how he got there, or if it’s him or he’s it, we just need to get him out of there.”

 

Johnny chuckled from the corner. “Can’t we just break that crystal? It seems easy enough.”

 

Maths stood up from the chair he was sitting on and began pacing. He stopped after a few seconds and walked toward a shelf. When he got close to it, he began sifting through the items on it.

 

“That could work, and it’d be easy, not to mention fun, but… there’s a chance we can harm Deus, or worse.” Maths said, grabbing one of the papers on the shelf.

 

“It’d be simpler if we could just drag him out of there.” Demma commented.

 

“Well, I’m no scientist. As I said, this is all guesswork. For all I know, Deus could be metamorphosing or something. What do you think, Bonz?” Maths asked the dog-like creature sitting on a box.

 

Bonz was a dog-like creature with black fur. Most of his bones were visible through his skin, which just brought more attention to his purple collar with a skull symbol hanging from it.

 

“This predicament really is baffling, but I believe that Deustodo is on a journey, not only physically, but also internally.” Bonz responded.

 

“Okay, now can say that in a way we can understand it?” asked Demma.

 

“Well, to put it simply, it seems he is doing some… soul-searching. Every man… no, every living thing, has a journey that is necessary for them to undertake in order to overcome a certain obstacle in their path, for if one had no such journey, then they would have no purpose in life.”

 

Maths held out his hand to Demma, who handed him the crystal, looking puzzled. Maths held up the crystal to the light. The black swirls were more visible, but nothing changed.

 

“So, basically, Deus has to do something inside the crystal to get out of it? Do you think there’s any way to help him?” Maths asked

 

“Okay, just how do you understand Bonz, anyway? I mean, I can’t understand half of what he’s saying!” Demma exclaimed.

 

“Well, Bonz has been my pet for a while, so we got to know each other a lot more than you’d think.”

 

“Okay, forget it. So, basically, Deus is going into like a mid-life crisis or something?”

 

”He’s over seventeen thousand years old, and yet you think he’s going through a mid-life crisis?” Johnny asked, chuckling.

 

“Well, it’s not like I know how old we can get, since the only adults were our parents. But they were killed…”

 

There was silence in the room, as everyone, in their own thoughts, reflected upon those words. Finally, Johnny broke the silence.

 

“It doesn’t matter now. It was way too long ago to matter. What we have to focus on now, is getting Deus out of that crystal so we can begin operation ‘Government Obliteration’…”

 

 

[spoiler=Chapter 99]

Chapter 99 - Child in the Crystal

 

 

Deustodo and Gir followed the mysterious being to a small cave. They walked inside.

 

“Okay, this is too dark.” Deustodo said.

 

Deustodo picked up Gir and used his shining eyes to light the way.

 

“There, that’s better.”

 

They proceeded farther into the cave. Deus was looking around for any signs of whatever had led them there. Gir was looking around for any signs of tacos. After walking for a few minutes, Deustodo stopped.

 

“Why did we stop, Deus?” Gir asked, still being used as a flashlight.

 

“I thought I saw something. Oh well, let’s keep going.”

 

A giggle echoed in the cave.

 

“Okay, whoever, or whatever, is there, show yourself.” Deus said.

 

“It’s nice to finally meet you.” a voice echoed.

 

“I wish I could say the same, but I can’t see you. Who are you?”

 

“You don’t know me, and it’ll take too long to explain how I got here, but… you came here for a reason. There’s a certain task you have to accomplish before you can leave.”

 

“So, what would that task be?” Deustodo asked.

 

A girl stepped out into the light. Her brown hair fell down to her shoulders, and her white dress stuck out in the surrounding darkness.

 

“You have to journey to the center of your soul and save your sanity. The madness that consumed you ages ago is becoming stronger, and if you don’t do it now, you’ll never be able to rid yourself of the madness that consumed your body.” the girl said.
