“I’m coming…”
     He drove out of Nerima, through Tokyo, and entered Kawasaki.  He took 
one of the side streets and toward the West exit.
     *…I’m coming…*

     She sat against the far side of the room, watching the zombies.
     //…I’m coming…//

     Ahead of him he could see the factory.  As he drove up he saw two 
helicopters fly over head.

     “Nac, can you detect anything about what’s happening down there?”
     [[BLADES aren’t picking up anything…]]
     Akisame was about to walk back into the factory when he head somrthing 
over head.
     [[Two helicopters…]]
     “Don’t move!”
     Black ropes dropped out of the helicopters, and twelve men in black 
S.W.A.T. suits dropped down on the ropes.  Along with the uniforms, they 
carried two huge guns each.

     When he drove up the factory grounds, he saw what looked like Akisame 
surrounded by twelve Umbrella goons.  From the looks of it, Akisame was 
about to attack the twelve fools.
     He raced right upto the entrance of the factory, the circle of goons to 
the car’s right.
     “Him!” he heard one of them shout as he stepped out of the car.
     “Kill him!” another shouted.
     “You crazy!” the other eleven said, running for the trees surrounding 
the factory.
     *I’m almost there…*
     He turned and ran to the factory entrance.  He heard the thud of the 
one stupid enough to stay dropping to the ground as Akisame knocked him out.
     *Coming…*

     “Sir, I’m sorry to interupt, but our resources have seemed to drop 
since we allied with Chronos and Team Rocket…”
     “I’m well aware that both Sakaki and Alkanphel are withdrawing money 
without consulting the cirlce, but the only question is…for what…?”

     He ran into the factory entrance, clicking a switch on his glasses, 
hopping in between the infred, and reached the end of the hall.
     “KAIOKEN TIMES 2!”
     He felt the power of the Kaioken surround him as he pulled his arm back 
and hit the metal slab covering a hole in the floor.  Dropping down, he 
grabbed his sword and raced down the long hallway, cutting every zombie in 
half.
     At the end of the hall, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, then fell to 
the ground.

     She felt…something.  Then she heard a muffled ‘kaioken’ or something 
like that.  Then there was a loud smash.  Something blurred down the hall, 
and when she looked at the zombies, she saw that all of them had been sliced 
in half.  She’d never seen so much blood in one place in her life.  The gore 
was so unimaginable.
     In a second, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, then it was gone.
     In a realization, she canceled out her spell and stepping into the 
blood bath of the hall.  Seeing the man lying in a poudle of blood, she ran 
over to him.
     Checking his vital signs, she found him dead.
     “…”
     A tear ran down her cheek.

     “They never even know who the other was, yet he died for her, and she 
misses him.  Love that knows no bounds.”
     Astendar looked upon the fallen man.
     “He was a good mortal.  Justice must be served…”
     Mynbruje stood beside Astendar.
     “Strong of heart and mind.  We must restore him to his physical form.”
     Thystonius stood on the other side of Astendar.
     The other passions appeared beside Astendar, Mynbruje, and Thystonius.  
The twelve passions of old Earth materialized themselves to the physical 
plain.
     The woman kneeling beside the fallen one looked in surprise through 
tear ridden eyes at the twelve.
     “This man before you; you love him, no?” Astendar said, stepping toward 
the female.
     The woman looked at the body again, then slowly nodded.
     “I…I do…but I don’t know why…”
     “I am afraid I cannot tell you the answer to that, but I can bring him 
back to you…”
     “How?” the woman asked, eyes still on the man.
     “We will bring your love back to you…” Astendar said as all the 
passions grabbed hands and closed their eyes…

     He opened his eyes.  He was outside.  Beside him was a woman.  Beside 
the woman was Akisame.  By the factory were twelve people he’d never seen 
before.  The twelve people were holding hands.  A strong aura surrounded the 
twelve.  The twelve raised their hands, and as they did, the ground beneith 
the factory caved in, engulfing the factory in the soil.  After the ground 
gave, and the factory was in ruins, he looked up, and there was a huge 
explosion.
