She replayed what had happened in her mind again. It had been a trap from the start. Gigi was pretending to be Urel, when in fact Urel was invisible, Urel and Eyo. There had to somewhere close by when she walked into that room. There had to be some way she could change things, some way she could take out Gigi before she could shoot Luka. She bit her lip, trying to think and realized she'd already made it to the top of the stairs. She furrowed her brow thinking that was fast. She supposed last time, she took the stairs a lot slower.

Atoe opened the door for her once again but this time, she stumbled back. She debated not even going to the command center, maybe she should run and try to draw them out or find Luka.

"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!" Urel boomed over the loud speaker. He could tell she was considering running. "You know what I can do Keyoko, don't test my patience, anymore then you already have. COME TO ME NOW!"

Keyoko knew exactly what he could do, what he was going to do. Those bastards had already killed her brother she wasn't going to let them kill Luka as well. If she ran now, it would change things but the outcome wasn't guaranteed. She wouldn't know what they would do in response. She would be completely blind.

If...If she followed the same path as before, at least this time, she'd know where they were and just what they were up to. She'd have a more of a chance to do something about it. She took a deep breath and decided. She stepped onto the floor and continued to make her way to the command center.

Atoe moved about seeking to show her the way. She looked at all the dead soldiers, knowing she needed a plan and now. If she could just take Gigi out then maybe that would change things or would it. If Gigi was down she doubted Eyo would go into the hall, so then Eyo and Urel would still be up when Luka entered. She saw the door they'd pried open.

Her breath caught, any minute it was going to start. She didn't have a plan but it didn't matter right now. It dawned on her that she was about to come up on Gigi. If she noticed her acting strangely she might notify the others and it would throw everything off. She needed to believe Gigi was Urel. She needed to have an expression of dread. She made herself think of what would happen if she failed. She made herself think of Harold, of Luka... a wave of anguish came over her.

She entered the command center, saw the desks had been moved. The center was open and G-Urel was in the center. Keyoko focused on him, on how much she despised Urel, for tricking her and killing Luka. Atoe moved to be Urel, he reached out his hand, beckoning Keyoko to come. "At last our true reunion,"

She stopped several feet away like she had the first time. Urel grimaced, "Come now, we both know, there is no use fighting this!"

She really wanted to snap and say something but she struggled to stay on point. What had she said the first time roung. "NO! NO! I HATE YOU...I HATE YOU!" Her voice had more emotion in it this time.

Yet Urel stayed on script, he wagged his finger, taunting Keyoko "Do you….Or do you HATE that you love it so much."

"I DON'T! I NEVER WANTED YOU! I NEVER WANT ANY OF THIS!"

"Right," he chucked before continuing in a mocking tone. "I forgot you're "cursed," condemned to eternal torment. If you'd simply accepted what you are, you be a lot happier Keyoko. You can deny it all you want but eventually your just going to have to accept it. You're not cursed, your simply a whore! My whore!"

He beckoned her once again, urging her to take his hand, to take her place. Keyoko prepared to send her things at Urel but realized there weren't any things to send. Shit, the last time she'd been so worked up that she'd set off a smaller attack, like in her art room. This time, she was so focused on staying on point, she hadn't built anything up.

Urel/Gigi tilted his head, noticing her mood had dramatically shifted. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! The shit was hitting the fan. Keyoko's eyes darted about the room, knowing the boys were closing in on her. She had to act, if she was going to change anything, it had to be now. Any minute Eyo would grab the back of her neck and she'd be...useless.

Her eyes flicked as she realized, she didn't need to take out Gigi. No, she was all show compared to Eyo. Gigi may have helped get Luka killed but Eyo had put Keyoko out of the fight altogether. She turned, knowing his hand was coming. She could feel him enter her area of perception. She scrambled to think, should she burst him or something else, if she had a weap- She recalled Urel pulling out his ax from his stone. As Keyoko turned, she touched her stone, summoned her chakram.

She could feel Eyo reached out, in one swift movement, she brought her chakram up, severed his hand clean off. She still couldn't see him but she heard him roar out, blood splattered on her face and jump suit. She realized just how close she'd been cutting it so to speak. If she wasn't beyond freaked the fuck out, she might of laughed but instead she spun around, sending out a large burst of air as she felt Urel close in on her.

She felt him fly back and out of her area. Eyo soon pulled back beyond her perception as well. Urel/Gigi suddenly disappeared from the room and Keyoko appeared to be all by herself but she fucking knew better. Like a mad woman, she spun her chakram around her in a mini tornado. She had to be careful, she hadn't used it in years, there were a few times when it came close and even graze her arm. It slice her open like giant paper cut. She seethed with pain but didn't cry out. She slowed the speed of the chakram and focused her senses.

She tried to sense anyone who dared enter her area of perception. Any mother fucker, she felt getting too close, was losing a limb or a life. SHE WASN'T LOSING THIS TIME! Her heart pulsed with adrenaline, her senses peaked as no one came close to her. She knew they were up to something, she had to act before they did. She followed Eyo's blood trail and decided to move in on it. As she drew closer to it, she could sense somebody maybe several somebodies. She sent her chakram out and hit pay dirt.

It sunk into somebody and looked like it was hovering in midair. A second later Gigi was screaming her head off. Her illusions fell away as she lost focus. Keyoko saw Gigi had gone over to Eyo and was trying to help him tie off his stump of an arm. Again she'd got him good, he was bleeding all over the place. Keyoko's chakram had hit Gigi in the arm but had stopped at the bone. She realized she must not have put enough force into it. She wouldn't make that mistake again.

Gigi pulled Keyoko's chakram from her arm without thinking. She threw it to the ground as she screamed with anger. Eyo enraged himself still dealing with his own problem. Keyoko reached out her hand to pulled her chakram back. She sent out a wave of air but felt someone or something grab hold of her left ankle. It felt cold to the touch, almost wet before it yanked her with such force that it snaped her ankle and sent her flying to the ground.

Keyoko's screams filled the air, joining Gigi's. Urel came up on her and began kicking her. "YOU FUCKING BITCH...CUNT! WHORE!" To say he was upset would be a vast understatement. After a few kicks he got down on the ground and began to beat her. He didn't hold back his punches.

Over the years, Keyoko, had many nightmares where Urel had tore into her but she realized now, the pain had been dulled. It was nothing compared to the pain that rippled through her body each time Urel's fist collided into her. She was in so much pain, that she didn't notice Luka finally making his entrance.
