Aurelia found seris desperately trying to heal noah "come wake up!"
Seris pleaded but still nothing Aurelia realized something
"It's a nightmare right now and people are getting stronger is someone trying to force humans to get stronger like en evolution wa-" before Aurelia could finish that thought a building exploded "WHAT WAS THAT!!!!" Aurelia said
Then three more exploded "WE GOT TO GO!" Aurelia grabbed seris hand and
Seris used a bubble to get noah and lumina quietly followed them "were are you ash?" Lumina said with a nervous tone.
Then she flew around looking for him growing more and more desperate
"WE NEED TO RELOCATE!" Aurelia told seris
And they ran into an alley trying to wait out whatever was happening
"I think this might be warning to show us the game is almost over" seris tried to yelled over the explosions.
Ash banged the back of his head on the cube "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH" he yelled but the pain wouldn't stop then he had a blind fold put on him
And he felt a sharp pain in his foot "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Then he closed his eyes in the blind fold and opened them he was on water and a clear sky and he saw himself but he had white hair and the wad wearing his clothing from his first trial thne that version of ash turned around
"hello ash" the other ash called walking towards him ash was stunned
"I'm sure this comes as a shock" the other version crouched down calmly
"Your being tortured because you couldn't betray you couldn't think you couldn't find it in your heart to do what ever it toom to survive" the old him pointed at ashes heart.
"Now look where it's gotten you" ash looked up at him "your lying!"
Ash said "and that's why your getting tortured you can't accept" other ash said
"You don't allow yourself to embrace the darkness to embrace the fact what ever happens is your fault"he said crouching down to ashes level "the reason your here is because your own stupidity" he said "no no its not true I survived because I deserved it!" Ash yelled at his past self.
"OH how you want to believe that so badly it almost makes me pity you" other ash said ash tried to choke out past ash but the other ash just stared at him "go ahead run away the old you never did that he never ran from his problems" other ash said calmly.
"STOP TALKING!" Ash yelled but all the other ash did was stare "you know you won't escape the way your are and you'll probably die or become mentally which I'm sure you don't want" the other ash said
"Frick...." ash muttered "see you know you can't stay like this" other ash grinned.
"You need to go face to face with your past" the other ash looked at him then slammed the floor then they appeared in void "I've been here before" ash realized "yeah but you'll stay here if you don't change people will die because you couldn't save them" the other told him then he folded out his hands
"You didn't have parents you had no name or no reputation look where you are at are you really gonna let that go to waste?" He raised an eye brow.
"B-but I'm not strong enough!" Ash said dropping to his knees "you are but you won't be if you don't accept change"other ash said "remember when you fought through your first trial with nothing then smarts yeah a bit of luck here and there but you made it out" he continued "BUT YOU WONT GET ANYWHERE AND YOU'LL DIE RIGHT HERE IF YOU DONT GET UP!!!" A glitch like voice yelled through the void.
"I CANT I CANT!"Ash yelled back "WHY IS IT TO HARD THE PAIN THE SUFFERING ALL OF IT,FOR NOTHING?!" The voice yelled in retaliation
"remember those nights you dreamed of not going hungry have enough water to satisfy the never ending thirst,remember why you even did all of this" the ash said.
Something clicked in "I remember...everything" ash said so they the other ash kneels right by him and whispered "then up on your feet....." then ash jumped on him pinning him down "if I want to change then I have to kill the old version of me" he said before continuously bashing other ashes face in over and over and over and over and over.
Getting every ounce of rage hatred and anger he felt he gritted his teeth his hand feeling like mush pain shooting up his body flashes of memories shot through his mind as the sound of his hands clashing with his old self overlapped them
Until,there was nothing left....,his hands were bloody he looked down at the body as his hair became fully white he remember everything and why he was fighting so hard so know he knew it wasn't over it was far from over so he stood up.
"Thank.....you"
