My Dearest

By: Youri Kai Kamachii

Hell...o! Hello all! I hope that you all have enjoyed my story thus far! If you have: sad to say, but this is my last full-length chapter, following a finale. Though, this story has not one ending, but two endings (like Soul Calibur 3)! Yeah, so ENJOY! If you have not: why are you on this page? That means you like this story too (laughs evilly XD).

Disclaimer: Long ago in a kingdom, I, Youri, unleashed an amazing story...But the foolish NAMCO, wielding Pac Man stepped forth to oppose me. (Short battle goes on) Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal and flung NAMCO into my fictional world, where my stories is law without disclaimers. Now, NAMCO seeks to return to the kingdom...and undo the story that is Youri! (A silly rap song comes on. Disclaimer for Pac Man and Samurai Jack too, MAN!).

In memory of Makoto "Mako" Iwamatsu: RIP (I'm so late with this message)! I loved your voice for all the cartoons I've watched...Such as: Samurai Jack and Avatar: The Last Airbender (I almost cried after Iroh's episode of "The Tale's of Ba Sing Se"). I am a big fan, and I will, forever, miss you.

Chapter 9:

Cassandra's eye's glowed of red. After she took out her sword and shield, she tried to slice Raphael, but he ended up dodging her swift attack. Instead, Cassandra's sword slightly cut Raphael's arm.

"Hey Cassandra" said YunSung, "I'm sorry about the comment I've made; now put the sword down. And what pretty...red eyes you have there...Oh no!"

"YUNSUNG!" said Talim as she pushed him, "move out the way, or she'll slice you!"

"Talim!" said YunSung, "Look out!"

Talim blocked Cassandra's attack while Seung Mina ran over and kicked Cassandra in her shin, making her fall on the ground.

"If this is your friend, she's gone mad!" said Mina.

"Cassandra!" yelled Raphael, "I know this isn't you..."

"Yes" said Talim replying to Mina, "Cassandra has been somehow turned against us."

Cassandra got up from the ground and pounded Seung Mina in the stomach with her shield. Mina then fell on her knees, grabbing her stomach in pain and coughing up some blood.

"Mina!" said Hwang as he tried to walk over to her body (he was not far from her), but he soon fell on the ground next to her body, because of the bullet wound.

"Hwang" replied Mina while she tried to crack a smile, "at least we'll die here together..." she reached out for his hand (A/N: No, they're not dying right now)

"Cassandra" said Raphael, "I will not fight you, because I..."

Cassandra's red eyes were fading away as she dropped her weapons on the ground and started to cry in pain.

"Raphael, please kill me...I can't bare to see you die in my hands...PLEASE!"

'You will kill them ALL no matter what!' said the evil voice in Cassandra's mind.

Cassandra's eyes soon turned red again, and she tried to reach back for her weapons, but Talim and YunSung stepped on her sword and shield.

"How are 'ya gonna fight without your weapons now?" asked YunSung.

Cassandra sidekicks YunSung who soon falls onto Talim leaving them both unconscious.

'It's just Raphael, the young girl, and the monk left now! Heheh, too easy! Cassandra, now, I want you to kill Raphael first!'

Cassandra walked over to her sword and shield as she kept crying and struggled to pick them up. Raphael then walked over, kneeling down in front of her.

"Cassandra..." said Raphael while he stopped her from picking up her weapons and then held her hands in his, "I will always love you no matter what, even if you are turned against me..."

'Raphael...' thought Cassandra.

Cassandra's glowing red eyes went away. As she turned back to her normal state, Raphael's face was getting closer to Cassandra's.

"Raphael, I too, will always love you no matter what."

Cassandra closed her eyes after she leaned over to Raphael's face. As her nose touched his, their lips began to slowly touch onto the others...They finally kissed and embraced each other.

Nightmare was furious as he watched what happened. He soon came out of the shadows, making Cassandra and Raphael let go of each other.

"Cassandra, you have failed my orders...because of this fool, so...you shall DIE!"

A shadow with an evil aura appeared right before Nightmare and struck his body in two with a ring blade.

"Tira...why?" asked Nightmare.

"Stop calling me that name you fool, I am no longer Tira, I am, in fact, Soul Edge's new host. You were going to kill this body off sooner or later, so I had no choice but to kill you."

"Damn you, you bastard..." Nightmare's body soon parishes, leaving a shard of Soul Edge.

"His body was too weak to serve me nevertheless...Now to finish the job. Cassandra, you still haven't escaped my control yet...Now, finish off Raphael and the other two."

Cassandra was surrounded with a much more powerful aura. She finally picked up her weapons and she striked Raphael.

Kilik, not realizing that Amy woke up minutes ago, soon heard a cry from her voice.

"RAPHAEL!"

A/N: Woot, they finally kissed, I'm so happy. But the romance was soon cut short and it ended with a tragedy. And for fans of both the characters, Kilik and Amy, I'm sorry that they had the smallest role in this chapter. WOW, this took a while to write...Also, for my fans that read my previous announcement (before I erased it), remember I said I would make this chapter longer? I tried, but it didn't work, sorry. For the next 'two-parter finale' chapters, though, I will try my best to make them a tad bit longer. By now, I'm making another Kingdom Hearts AMV (which, by the way, I am now addited to alongside this game series). Please send reviews and stay tuned for my 'two-parter finales' of: My Dearest.
