Schism
Characters: Johan Andersen and Yuuki Juudai
When: Evening of March... 12th? Ehhh, Johan's first day.
Where: A nondescript location in the Safezone
Rating: PG-13, because we think Haou might try to beat the shit out of Johan maybe.
Summary: A meeting that shouldn't have been... until it was almost too late, anyway.
Some knot that typified alpha and omega had come undone as soon as the worlds had merged, defying a destiny laid out for that particular world inside designs not meant for revision. Interfered with by mechanisms of fate that no one at all had foreseen.
Juudai stared at the wrecked buildings, watched them sit disturbingly still in their warped and crumbling form. Some masochistic urge prevented him from moving when he knew he should; he knew Johan was coming, and if he did not elect to move on his own, he knew Johan would also find him. They would be reunited...
...But what then?
He didn't understand; he had previously left the workings of such things as fate to chance. He did understand the concept, however, the same fate that had almost blown up their planet before this mess and had placed an immobile barrier between two best friends, and from that he knew somehow, subconsciously, that he could run from it all he wanted and it would still find a way back to him.
But he wasn't running. No. The Supreme King was bound to no destiny. The Juudai the other had met in the place they had both come from, he was different than what Haou was now. And he had no reason to live as he lived -- they were different, his home world and the Dark World.
It would be one of the last steps to sealing himself off completely, making certain Johan was dead. He told himself firmly -- desperately? -- that if he had to kill Johan to justify everything he had done, then he would do so, and that would be the end of it...
"To defeat evil, you must become evil."
He still believed in those words, he reminded himself. He had to. They had taken him through the worst series of darknesses of his life.
He had to believe.
