Second Possession - [RL with Rock] And I'll make you suffer, like my forefathers before me.
It was at times like these that Shuyin was thankful for such easy opportunities. First, with access to the community, it allowed him to spy and get accustomed to people with his acting, so he could use them whenever he felt it was necessary. Second, the community members there were so gullible, they believed just about anything he told them. There

Not if he wanted to face Terry or any of his friends again.

But he hadn't even reached the second step before a priest came to him, telling him that the chamber was closed, due to the defeat of Sin, and that he would have to step down.
Through Rock's eyes, Shuyin gave the priest a slightly irritated look, and without even hesitating, grabbed the man by his robes and threw him, using Shinkunage.
"Get out of my way." His voice was cold and unforgiving, much like the guards were to him and Lenne, so many years ago.

Several of the guards were already rushing to the scene after hearing the commotion, and Rock's body acted accordingly, indigo aura blazing around his fists before launching a Double Reppuken at them.

The attack sent at the group was unlike anything they had ever seen before, and they tried to avoid it. But with all that heavy armor on- they were a bunch of sitting ducks. It was much like watching a bowling ball ramming into a line of pins, the guard's bodies flying everywhere. Pathetic.
Hearing the boy screaming inside, telling him to stop, it just made the spirit howl in laughter. This was a wonderful feeling, to be in control and to be so close to what he had been planning for so long.
A lone priest had managed to pass by Rock while he was attacking, and tried to run for the door. But he caught Shuyin's eye, and with a quick burst of speed via Rage Run -Shift-, he was standing before the man with a look of maniacal insanity in his eyes.
"You. Heal me, unless you wish for your soul to depart for the Farplane now."

Meanwhile, Rock had stopped attacking, his body aching all over and screaming at him. He had worn himself out several times already trying to fight back, but this time it was even worse. But he couldn't resort to any of Geese's attacks, it would just end up with him in even more pain, and even weaker than before.
But there had to be a way.

The stairs led upwards, but he didn't go very far. He walked towards the platform that was across from him now, and it began to lower towards the trial grounds. Once there, he told it to move forward, to where the Chamber of Fayth resided.
Noticing Rock's halt in attacking, Shuyin could only chuckle. "Getting tired now, are we? How would you like to see Vegnagun up close and personal, Rock?"

"What a shame," he told the boy with a slnister tone- "and here I was hoping that you two would become great friends once it awoke. Using you has made my plans so much easier. What a good pawn you are, Rock."
They had reached the Chamber of Fayth, and, after stepping off the platform, Shuyin paused in where he needed to go. His memories of how it had looked began to flood his mind, ghostly images of Bevelle guards runnning to and fro along the halls. One in particular caught his eye, and he followed, watching the guard step close to the wall, touching one of the ribs lightly before a panel opened in it. Shuyin mimicked him, using Rock's body to open the secret passageway, and reveal another platform that lead to a long hallway below.
Beyond that hallway- he could hear it calling. And, if he listened closely, he could even hear her gentle voice, calling to him lovingly.
...Shuyin... Shuyin...

-he was scared.

The hallway was vast- it was long, and it seemed to stretch for miles. Shuyin's mind was now vividly recalling how the place looked back in his millenia, the ghosts of the past now becoming more lively and certain. Heavily armored guards passed by, making another round on their patrol, while others stood coldly against the walls, their eyes impossible to see under the helmets they wore. Each and every one carried a rifle, ready to act in a moment's notice.
Shuyin strode past them, his eyes vague on noticing their appearance. They were spirits, much like him, but they were dead and had been Sent, while the Pyreflies for him had kept his memories alive for a millenia in agony. Reliving that one moment, over and over and over again... that moment of losing the woman who had meant everything to him ( ... )

"No. I'm through being everyone's pawn," he said softly, clenching a fist.
"YOU HEAR ME?! I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR SICK SCHEMES OR WHATEVER STUPID-ASS REASON YOU HAVE TO DESTROY AN ENTIRE WORLD. SO WHAT, SOMEONE PISSED YOU OFF, I GET THAT. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT INNOCENT LIVES SHOULD SUFFER AS WELL, DIPSHIT!"

"This world is plagued by war, loss, and suffering. I'm purging it of its uncleanliness." Ignoring how Rock was insulting him, or at least trying, Shuyin made the boy continue to close the gap between the two, his eyes beginning to gleam with madness. So close, so very close. And then, he was standing before it, the cold metal of the machina causing him to slightly shudder in excitement. He remembered sitting in that seat at the top, playing that song to awaken the machina and the cannon within it. And seeing her there. Lenne...With a new ( ... )

He was going to give it everything he got. Screw his father, screw his uncle, screw everything right now. All that mattered was stopping this crazy bastard from destroying an innocent world. "But it's also got peace, happiness, and light. It's your own fucking fault if you're so goddamn blind to your own stupid emo rants to notice it. My body's not anyone's puppet. RAGING...." He placed both hands on the barrier, the energy coming from him still indigo. He wasn't going to let Geese take anything from this. "...STORM!!!" He screamed, energy erupting from his hands and cutting into the barrier.

Rage seethed from Shuyin as he picked himself up and glared daggers at the rebellious boy who kept crossing him. There was a gaping hole now where the barrier once stood, but it was healed again within seconds, the spirit's tolerance and patience growing extremely thin with the boy.
"You're getting tiresome, Rock. Do you really think you can stop me when we've come this far?" By now, he had reached the top, and swung Rock's body over and into the pilot section of the machina. His ( ... )

It wasn't until after the memory subsided that he spoke again, his voice a strange mixture of emotion- anger, annoyance, pity...and maybe a bit of sympathy. He had lost a lot in his life, too. But this wasn't any reason. Terry would kill him if he tried pulling anything close to this because he lost his mother.
"YOU'RE DOING ALL THIS FOR YOUR GIRLFRIEND? PATHETIC! WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD THINK THAT DESTROYING AN ENTIRE WORLD WOULD SUDDENLY MAKE EVERYTHING RIGHT?! MOVE ON, YOU IDIOT!"
Reply
However, despite the silence, the amount of anger and rage was building within the spirit, and his face twisted in a dark scowl at Rock's words.
"You... you DARE to tell me to move on?! You have no idea of how much agony I have suffered for a millenia over this, she was my everything!" He paused, his body still shaking angrily, his mind screaming at him to just destroy the boy ( ... )
