(!!TW: Mentions of Rape!!)

Jizzabelle walks around the school until reaching the entrance doors and notices Ashlyn sitting on the grassy ground around the school.

Jizzabelle opens the entrance doors and approaches Ash.

Jizzabelle: "Ashlyn?"

Ashlyn turns around in response.

Ashlyn: "Oh, hey."

Jizzabelle stands beside Ashlyn.

Jizzabelle: "Is everything alright?"

Ashlyn: "Yeah...just need to breathe a bit, you know?"

There is a moment of silence.

Jizzabelle: "Ashlyn, I can tell when someone is lying."

Ashlyn lets out a long sigh in response.

Jizzabelle lowers and sits down beside Ashlyn.

Jizzabelle: "You can tell me if something is wrong."

Ashlyn: "Sigh...it's just that...I feel a little behind is all."

Jizzabelle: "How so?"

Ashlyn: "I've always been such a pushover most of my life. I've always hated myself and never found anything worth pursuing with myself. Eventually, I felt it best to have people describe how I should live my life....because I've never found something to be proud of...then I let people walk over me and...."

Ashlyn has a flashback of walking around the street at night and a group of suited men in a limbo stopping beside her.

Ashlyn: "They told me they could make me the prettiest girl in the world....and that I could live the greatest life I could ever reach for."

Ashlyn enters the limbo, surrounded by giant men in black and white suits.

Ashlyn: "They led me to their building and locked the door and...They had their way with me...I could have done something but for the first time..."

Ashlyn starts to tear up.

Ashlyn: "It felt like someone actually loved me."

Jizzabelle: "Do you mean that..."

Ashlyn: "I was raped...Jizzabelle."

Jizzabelle: "I see...and it still haunts you to this day?"

Ashlyn: "If I could go back and stop myself, I would do it in a heartbeat...but suddenly-"

(Flashback)

the building starts to crack as a tiny slug appears from the floor of the apartment building.

The slug lets out a loud high pitched scream as everyone in the room's heads explode with blood splattering all over the room and Ashlyn's body.

Ashlyn: "I didn't know what happened...it all went down so quickly."

Suddenly a shadowy figure STOMPS the slug. Ashlyn looks at the shadowy figure as the shadowy figure is revealed to be Jacob.

Jacob: "Well...ain't this a site for sore eyes..."

Ashlyn: "Wh-who?"

Jacob: "I'm here to get you the fuck out of here...come on..."

Jacob offers his hand.

Jacob: "Let's get you all patched up, yeah?"

Ashlyn hesitates but grabs Jacob's hand.

Ashlyn: "O-ok."

(Back to Real Time)

Ashlyn: "After that, the first thing we did was go out to look for Yuji and well, here we are."

Jizzabelle: "And excluding me, Jacob's the only one that knows this?"

Ashlyn: "Sniff...yeah, sorry for not telling anyone earlier...I guess you see me as a whore, don't you?"

There's a moment of silence then Jizzabelle talks.

Jizzabelle: "Remember the whole thing about me killing a classroom full of students?"

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

Ashlyn wipes her tears away.

Ashlyn: "Yeah?"

Jizzabelle: "What if I told you it was a lie?"

Ashlyn: "What?"

Jizzabelle: "Let's just say that I was born without something everyone else has....even before all of this, it's always affected my entire life."

Jizzabelle is standing over a destroyed building wearing an oversized white shirt.

She slowly approaches the edge of the building as she looks over the edge and prepares to fall.

She lifts her hands up and they both stay completely still, not a sign of anything behind them.

??: "HEY NOW!"

Jizzabelle: "What?"

Jacob is standing on the side of the building under where Jizzabelle is standing.

Jacob: "Let's not get too hasty shall we? come on."

Jacob offers his hand.

Jacob: "I could show you what's in store for you. What do you say?"

Jizzabelle lets tears run down her face.

Jizzabelle: "PLEASE! ANYTHING BUT THIS LIFE THAT I LIVE!"

Jacob: "All I needed to hear!"

Jacob gives a big smile as he grabs Jizzabelle's hand.

Jizzabelle looks up to the blue and black void.

Jizzabelle: "Even after getting saved by him, I still haven't felt a single thing."

Ashlyn: "I see...but, I don't get it, why did you lie?"

Jizzabelle: "Hmm...honestly, I don't know..."

Jizzabelle looks up at the blue void once again.

Jizzabelle: "It's as if I felt something at that moment, but I don't know what..."

Ashlyn: "Hm...did you ever have someone close to you?"

Jizzabelle: "Not really, nobody would approach me 'cause I would always freak them out...even my own family didn't see me as a person...what about you? anyone close to you?"

Ashlyn: "Yuji is probably the closest thing to a brother for me, hell, he was the closest thing to anyone close to me, he was always there for me when I was at my lowest...if I lost him? Who knows what I would do.."

Jizzabelle moves her hand closer to Ashlyn's hand.

Jizzabelle: "That doesn't mean you can't always make some new friends, right?"

Ashlyn: "Yeah...thanks, Jizz."

Jizzabelle: "Please never use that name again."

Ashlyn: "Haha, Sorry..."

Ashlyn lays her head on Jizzabelle's shoulder.

Jizzabelle: "Ash?"

Ashlyn suddenly blushes and sits straight again.

Ashlyn: "AHEM...sorry, j-just a little tired is all you know? hahaaaa I'M GONNA GO TO THE CAFETERIA CAUSE I'M SURE HUNGRY BYE NOW!"

Ashlyn stands up and runs away into the school.

Ashlyn: (the heck was that, me?!)

Jizzabelle smiles and giggles.

She comes to a sudden halt from what just happened.

Jizzabelle: "What was that? That thing I just did..."

Mallory is still working on everyone's weapons.

Mallory: "Sigh...it has to be perfect...down to the very detail."

Mallory gets a flashback of a syringe in her hand.

Mallory: "NOT NOW! It has to work-"

Suddenly, Mallory pulls out 2 giant gauntlets of 2 buckets of water.

Mallory: "I've done it. Now...to add a few more tweaks to the others."

Holly is looking around at the top floor to see if anyone else is on said floor.

Holly pulls up her sleeve, revealing a red sun with a melting eye tattoo, and raises it to her mouth.

Holly: "I think I've found it."

Holly looks around again and touches a long blank wall and then slips right through the blank wall revealing giant wires connected to a circular machine.

Holly: "I've found it...now let's see if there's any info that we missed."

Holly starts digging around the different cabinets and drawers and any other junk around.

Cassandra and Irina are both fighting against Jacob while Banishment watches in a giant training room.

Cassandra is throwing a flurry of punches at Jacob but Jacob puts a barrier in front of himself, causing all of Cassandra's punches to be deflected.

Cassandra: "COME ON!"

Irina suddenly appears behind Jacob and low sweeps Jacob as Jacob is caught off guard.

Jacob: "Not bad...but-"

Jacob raises both of his hands up while he's in mid-air.

Jacob: "Push."

a giant force comes out of Jacob's hands and sends both Cassandra and Irina flying on opposite sides.

Jacob: "You gotta confirm your opponent can't pull off a move like that before you pull off a stunt like that."

Cassandra: "Haha, you're a dirty little son of a bitch you know that?"

Jacob: "What can I say? I was born this way."

Irina: "I'VE BEEN THRWARTED AGAIN!!!"

Cassandra: "Come one Banishment! don't you wanna have a bit of a rush, huh?"

Banishment: "Would rather not fight allies."

Jacob: "You're so boring."

Cassandra stands up again.

Cassandra: "How's N doing? Is he dead yet? shouldn't we try to help?"

Jacob: "Sorry to tell you, but we can't do much without weapons, unless you've mastered your Syn like me, you're basically a sitting duck without something in your hand. Plus, you did challenge me to help you get this off your mind, no?"

Cassandra: "Yeah, but I feel kinda bad just sending him out there, isn't there anything we can do? Can't you got out there and help him?"

Jacob: "Already tried to open a rift but nothing's coming out, it's like something doesn't want me interfering."

Irina runs over, bows, and plants her head into the ground.

Irina: "PLEASE TEACH ME YOUR WAYS, OH WISE ONE!!"

Jacob suddenly gets a chill down his spine and turns around.

Jacob clears his throat and turns around to face Cassandra again.

Jacob: "Besides, he's more than capable of that furry fuck."

Cassandra: "You sure he won't just up and leave us?"

Jacob: "I literally found him on the brink of death, if he leaves us, I say good luck for whatever's out there waiting to chomp him up."

Jacob suddenly gets a chill down his spine and turns around.

Cassandra: "Ya alright?"

Jacob: "I'll be back, gotta check on something."

Jacob disappears without a trace.

Cassandra: "Welp, Irina, I think you requested a match, yeah?"

Irina lifts her head back up from the ground and stands with pride.

Irina: "NYAHAHAA PREPARE TO BOW ON YOUR KNEES FOR YOUR EMPORER!!!"

After looking around for a while, Holly finds an old and decaying piece of paper.

Holly: "Finally, I've got it!"

Holly gets a chill down her spine as she slowly turns around in fear to see Jacob looming over her.

Jacob: "Holly, what the fuck are you doing here?"

N is sitting on a rock in front of a tall building.

N: "Awww...come on Broosy! surely you can do better than that?"

The dust clears revealing bruiser bleeding out, attached to the tall building with all of his limbs cut off.

Bruiser: "Cough...how did you-"

N: "Wow, you hybrids sure are something else, huh? normally the average omen would have died by now."

Bruiser gets annoyed and screams as he glows red and all of his limbs grow back and his wounds regenerate.

Bruiser: "DON'T TAKE ME EVER SO LIGHTLY, YOU FILTHY MORTAL!!!"

N: "You always did like to speak all formally, and what for? so you can feel real good in your pants?"

Bruiser gets infuriated and summons dark blue wind as the wind spins around him like a hurricane and a giant 3 headed dog with dark blue fur jumps out of the hurricane.

N stands up and grabs his katana.

N: "Huh, I haven't seen that form in a damn long time...now, how about you show me what you can do after 150 years, hm?"
