Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Songbird ❯ Rage From The Beast Within ( Chapter 9 )

All I wanted to do was sing. Be isolated in a place were I could gather my thoughts into words and later into a melody. I guess this is what I deserve for ever thinking that there was ever some good in people. Their hearts are full of hate. The state that they live in makes them this way and they have no choice but to respect all that are above them. Therefore we take our pain out on each other causing some relief but still increasing the hate inside of us and creating monstrous things that prowl the earth looking for people to kill. We have the power to stop these things but they will never and can never be stopped. Now look what I have done. Hundreds of people will die because the creature inside of me knows nothing but death. Death to all that come in my path or hurt me in any way. That's why they hate me, they envy my strength and they think I am perfect. There is nothing perfect about being one of the many destructors of earth. No one to love and nothing to cherish but yourself because everyone is afraid of you. I did not choose to have this Ka, my mother knew something was wrong with me, like something wasn't quite right, and sure enough she was right. The people knew their place when it came to me but now it seems like they have forgotten but I intend to remind them the only way I know how to....

"Kimora, listen to me you have to stop this right now. Nobody wins if you do this. You'll end up killing all of us and yourself."

The Pharaoh knew Kimora heard him when he saw tears roll down her face, but her position remained the same. While the Priests were watching the monster getting ready for attack the Pharaoh and Mana were watching Kimora, trying to talk her down.

"Its not working and we don't have much time before that thing explodes."

"Wait a minute Mana. Sing for me again Kimora. I want to hear your voice. I loved hearing you sing. Whether it was a sad or a happy song you made it sound enjoyable. Please say something Kimora..."

"I have done all that I could for your father. He asked me to be patient with these ignorant civilians and I did but now my patience has run out. But I can't totally blame them for what has happened or what is about to happen."

It seemed like the calm Kimora inside of her was speaking for the possessed Kimora that everyone is familiar with. And that's whom the Pharaoh was trying to get to. He didn't know how to tell her that he really loved her and that she was not alone.

"I'm sorry Kimora. My father should have kept you in the Palace, away from them."

"No, your father did what he could. It was someone in the Palace who aroused my anger. She was so keen on making you hate me and now I hate you all for the simple fact that I can't help this feeling. Leave me be now, it is almost time. Luckily for you all my Ka knows what it wants and chooses whom to kill and fortunately for you all it won't kill you but the majority will die."

"No, Kimora wait please reconsider!"

"It's no use she is gone now. Let's back out while we still can." Priestess Ishizu shouted at the Pharaoh, with her eyes still on the beast.

"This beast is not after us it's after my people and I can't let it destroy them."

"You don't have a choice in the matter. This is out of your hands she won't kill us now let's just go. The people have already evacuated."

"You cannot hide from me. I will track you down like the plague and kill you."

"You don't mean that Kimora. You don't want to kill them all. I know they are not perfect but they are still human. No amount of sorry can mend the hurt that you have suffered but it's a start. We go by day to day the best way we know how. We make mistakes all the time and now your making one that you will regret one day. Do you really want all of us to suffer your pain? Do we all really deserve this?"

"............Yes. You deserve every bit of what is coming to you. Humanity is careless and will one day be destroyed by a power much higher than mine or any you could ever imagine. They need to suffer my fury to know what its like. To be treated in such a cruel inhumane manner so they will learn. There is nothing to regret. The only thing I will ever regret is not destroying them sooner...."

"If that's how it is Kimora then so be it. I will fight your beast myself and show you the light."

"You can't be serious fighting this creature is like asking to die!"

"She won't listen to me, so I will show her."

"Tell me something, why are you risking so much on one girl. She is giving you your life. Don't waste it on making stupid decisions."

"I don't know Ishizu. Maybe my feelings go beyond my people and maybe I am doing this to show someone that she is actually cared for and that she is not totally hated by everyone."

The monster began positioning itself for attack, as did the Pharaoh. He summoned the three God's and then fused them together to bring out Horakhti The Creator of Light. When she appeared on the field some of the gold light in the Palace dimmed down.

"Are you seriously thinking about challenging that beast!?!"

"My Lord, this beast will kill you. This is utterly foolish to even attempt to stand against such a creature."

"Leave, I will be fine. I appreciate your concern but my mind is already set. I will handle this on my own; this is a battle you don't have to help me fight. But if you choose to stay here with me then I thank you."

The Priests looked at each other and nodded. They summoned their Ka's to the field and stood in attack mode waiting for the beast to attack.

You had your chance and now it's my turn. To seek out my enemies to feel my burn. I will haunt you down and kill you all. So do not run because I will find you, do not fight me because I will destroy you, surrender your life to me and I will bring you pain beyond your wildest dreams and fill your heart with even more hate for me.

The Pharaoh wanted to give her a second chance, he knew that there was still some good left in her.

The Mighty beast leaned forward and the Pharaoh flashed his cape back and stared at the beast with his mystifying crimson eyes and the beast stood on its hind legs drew its head back and then came forward and fired a wide range enormous gold beam and Horahkti fired her broad white beam at the beast and they clashed pushing against each other with great force, until the gold beam broke through Horakhti and went into the village to search for those set to die. Horakhti had blocked the attack but the Pharaoh was lying on the ground motionless.

The Priests were injured as well struggling to get up but falling back down. Aziza and the little girl tried pulling the Priests out of the way but as soon as Horakhti got ready to attack again they retreated.

"My work is done here...."

Horakhti attacked and the mighty golden beast shielded Kimora and the attack blew past her and tore a whole in the wall. The beast disappeared and left Kimora standing there. The room turned back to its normal colors and Kimora was still glowing in gold meaning that the beast was not totally gone but merely standing by in case Horakhti attacked again. But she was much smarter then that. Horakhti turned towards the Pharaoh and knelt down beside him. Shaking her head with small tears flowing down her big eyes. She wanted to attack but she knew that would only make it worse. She stood up again and looked Kimora straight in the eye. She felt sorry for Kimora because she knew that the only way to get rid of the problem is through the source....
