She stood there unfazed by the blade passing through her. "I will come back in a couple weeks to destroy everything, you are the only one to stop me." the being known as Rapture soon rocketed into the air and sped away. "Damn you!" Kei ran into the hospital and headed for the stairs. "Excuse me, passing through, in a hurry," she commented as she ran by the crowd of people. She nearly ran into a bed with a wounded patient. Looked like shrapnel damage. Wasn't pretty. After a few minutes of running she came over to the room. She could hear Yuri breathing heavily. "1, 2, 3 and push," the nurse instructed. Kei found herself walking in and passing a smile to everyone there. This was it, this was the moment of Yuri's life. Every second was slow. She tried not to cry. She walked over and took Yuri's hand in her own. Robert got a new damp towel and placed it on her forehead. They didn't bother to find out what gender the baby would be until the time came. "1, 2, 3, and push," the nurse instructed again. Yuri fought once again. She was sweating all over and praying to get this ordeal overwith. Another nurse had a vid camera filming it all. "What's going on?" Kei asked. Yuri continued to breathe and push hard, she held onto Kei's hand firmly nearly breaking it. Kei was doing better than Robert though. She was happy now that her closest friend could be here for the greatest moment of her life. "What's with my arms?" Kei asked. Robert gave her a puzzling expression and took hold of Yuri's other hand better, he was eager to be a father. Kei's arms twitched and flexed without any thought to do so. "No, please don't be doing this!" Kei started to cry out of fear and desperation. Something was wrong, something unnatural was hapoeniing to her. Her arms rose upwards and grabbed onto Yuri's neck. Kei cried out trying to free her hands from there. She couldn't pull them away. "KEI!? What the hell are you doing?" Robert screamed out. He couldn't begin to understand what was going on. His emotions were wild. "I can't!" Kei could feel her grip get tighter and Yuri struggle between that and giving birth. She pushed all she could with what strength was le t, but she couldn't breath. At this point no amount of understanding could satiate this. With a tear, Yuri's neck cracked and gave way. The feeling of broken bone and blood upon her hands made Kei fall down upon the bed in complete disarray. Yuri's breathing stopped, her blood sooned stained the hospital bed. Kei's arms were returned to normal. Everyone stood in fear and confusion, some security guards ran into the room with guns drawn. Upon seeing them, Kei walked over to turn herself in only to find herself knocking the security guards out and stealing a gun. She opened her eyes just in time to find everyone on the ground shot in cold blood. She saw Robert on the ground with multiple gun shots. "What the hell happened?" Kei couldn't dare fight back all of the emotions ransacking her mind and body, she ran out of the hospital. Upon exiting the building, two ladies stood there with guns drawn. "Stop where you are!" Rachael shouted. Her arm was in a sling. "Don't step any closer, demon!" Volandia had her leg in a cast and some bandages. "Demon!?" Kei spat and realized what happened. The Reaper's blade must have injected her with nanites that took over her brain. She was turned into a puppet. Now she was mistaken for him. "I am not a demon!" she shouted. "Killing your own partner, and everyone in your way! How are you not a demon?" Rachael spat. "And the Lovely Angels, you must have been the one who destroyed that station as well," Volandia remarked. "No, I didn't, I couldn't of!" her right arm reformed into a long range pulse rifle. "What the hell?" "Get down!" Rachael shouted and dragged her partner to a bunker nearby. Kei found herself firing off shots destroying multiple bunkers. "Stop please, no more!" Kei shouted in tears trying to control her body. "Whose to say I am doing this at all? Is there not any human emotions in your body that may be accountable?" the semi synthetic voice rang in her head. "You are here! Damn you! Make this stop!" she shouted back. More shots were fired. Concrete was shredded. "The injection I gave you was blank nanites made to work attuned to your basest desires and feelings. Your own hatred caused Robert's death. What was it? Multiple gun shots? Were you jealous? Shame on you!" "No, no, no, no," Kei pleaded and fell upon her knees. "And poor Yuri, your own partner, how she irritated you all your life. You did the unthinkable, and the smile upon your face was making me proud." "No, I didn't, I couldn't of, I." "Ah shove it, what's one life? You killed multi millions across the universe, a feat only I could have been thought to have accomplished. In fact I didn't kill near as many as you and your partner did. You did my work much better than I ever could. Families torn apart, whole decades of hatred interrupted by a space station falling, or a biological accident." "No, it wasn't our fault! I didn't want any of that to happen!" Kei cried and shook. Her whole body was trembling. "Take her out!" Rachael shouted. "Please," Kei added. She wanted to die. Rockets and blasters sounded off in her direction. The whole door way of the building exploded and after a moment or two the building stopped shaking. Kei stood there unfazed and unhurt. She made her left arm become a blade much like she did with her tech suit. She brought it to her neck and extended it through it without effect. Her eyes opened to reveal how red and irritated they were. She fired shots into herself without effect. She couldn't kill herself, the nanites have propagated themselves too quickly. "You would take my right of suicide away as well!?" she fell to her knees. "You don't want to die, you only want pain and misery upon me and others." "You lie!" "Do you surrender?" Rachael shouted. "Kill me please!" Kei pleaded. "Don't go too close, Rachael," Volandia said softly. She was still feeling the pain from earlier. "It's ok," Rachael walked closer with her gun drawn. She would earn her Lovely Angel reputation at last. "Please, kill me, shoot already!" Kei pleaded again. Rachael walked over closer. Kei's eye flashed red and the gun was knocked aside. She was back on her feet. Rachael was sliced in half before her. The blade on her left arm had stretched out and now dripped with blood. Kei didn't care any more, nothing mattered anymore. She fell down upon the ground once again. Volandia's horrific scream went unheard. "Now why did you do that? They a poor excuse for your replacements? You afraid they will suffer the same fate of killing multi millions which you yourself once had?" Warmth came over her slowly. She didn't notice. "Are you happy? You made me a machine to do your bidding!" "You are what you are, the nanites only project what's in your heart, what's in the heart of all of mankind. Hatred that breeds hatred. Nothing can stop the vicious cycle!" "You did this to me! You are controlling me!" "I merely supplied the means of your abilities, YOU are the one at fault, YOU are the murderer!" the voice growled with malicious intent from within her. "No! No, no," Kei laid sprawled out upon the ground in her own suicidal misery. She couldn't dare get up. She couldn't stand killing another. All this time her own feelings were causing this to happen, this was all her fault. "I don't want bloodshed!" "You have killed multi millions without a tear, what rights have you to say such things?" Warmth came over her again. She stopped crying to take a notice of it. "I retired, I stopped being like that, I never wanted any of that to happen. It wasn't our fault!" "Yes, Yuri is to blame as well, but she already paid her due by your own hands!" the voice sounded again. "She is dead, Kei, she will never annoy you ever again!" "Mmm, ow, what the, oooh, damnit" she rolled over onto her back. The voice was silent at last, warmth of unexplained pleasure grew without mercy up and down her body, nothing could make it stop and nothing could explain it. She placed her hands upon herself as the pleasure grew. Her eyes had been closed in response to the torturing sensations only to open and find herself in a completely different situation. No more corpses, no more out doors, no more war zone. She almost fell to the floor. Her legs were asleep amidst other problems. Phil caught her. "Are you ok?" "Yeah," she answered quite softly. Item by item she realized what happened to her. "Phil," "Yes?" "You are a terrible kisser," she tried to laugh but couldn't. Her whole body felt limp, she couldn't begin to imagine what Phil was doing to awaken her. "I'll try again later, come," Phil carried her into Yuri's room. They didn't miss much.
