nDespite the fact that I couldn't move, I floated up to the galactic face of broken faces, and all eyes were focused on me.

n

"You say that I should get out of your head?!!

" Helsin roared and then uttered a deathly otherworldly scream which seemed to have pierced into every pore of my being.

nI was suddenly in a scene in a high-tech lab, but standing across From Helsin Zero, I was experiencing a very bizarre feeling. My right was a switchboard, and next to it was a viewing window, but it was clouded over, so I could not see what was inside.

nFurthermore, there were many flashing lights close to the argument, and one of them was the center of attention.

n

"You don't get to make that choice!

" I yelled at Zero, and he pushed me back.

n

"Because I paid for it, I am the one who makes the decision! Not you!

" Zero roared.

nI grabbed his shoulders, but he also reached out to slap down the most prominent flashing button.

nAt the time, the only thing that came to my mind was to do what I could. Despite the fact that everyone's lives were on the line, I was still too late to save them.

nIn the second moment, before my forehead slammed into Zero's face, his hand had connected with the button. From behind, the glass gushed out a burning light that I had seen through the flash.

nWe were less than a hair's breadth apart when the light hit us, and every atom in each of our bodies turned into glowing balls of energy. Time froze, and I was thrown out of my body, and I watched both of us become cloaked in a soft blue, glowing light, and then time snapped back to normal.

nAs my glowing head slammed into Zero's face, I was forced back into my own body. It shattered as though it was glass, and my head went right into Zero's, still whole, though brighter.

nOnce again, the time slowed down; I was torn out of my body again, then slammed back. Our bodies began to distort, and I felt as if I were being sucked into the image.

nThen my consciousness was pushed out with it as I rode the blast as everything I had ever known was smashed into pieces.

nAs I rolled across the sand, I groaned and came to a stop. When I opened my eyes, Zero was sitting ten feet away, facing the purple waves with his back to me.

nRolling on my stomach, I picked myself up and sat up. Once I was off the sand, I began brushing myself off.

nMy first instinct was to kick him in the head, but it was pointless...

n

"...Because I would see it coming,

" Zero said, finishing my thought.

nI walked over, so I was several feet away from him; as I sat on the edge of the surf, I crossed my legs and watched the waves as they rolled in.

n

"What were you trying to do?

" I asked because I still really wasn't sure what happened.

n

"Give everyone a direction,

" Zero said, but the voice he used said he didn't even believe that.

n

"Sure, and I am just some unreasonable guy that came in to ruin everything and put us in this mess, right?

" I said in an even tone; getting angry now helped nothing.

n

"I wanted to rule it all, to be at the center of everything. I got it, but to gain what should have been naturally mine, I was twisted, perverted, and now there is only one person that can change any of this,

" Zero said in a tired voice.

n

"And what is happening to each world after your spawn leaves it?

" I asked, looking over at him, but Zero didn't look back.

n

"There is no need for anything; they never truly die, and no hunger! Worlds don't even need the elements to have life!

" Zero railed, but I shook my head.

n

"Don't need anything? Don't be stupid or think that I am. You need the pain, suffering, and bloodlust, and look at the disgusting things that the creatures do in your name! There are ones like Mex who have done everything in their power to become different, but you are the thing that made them this way!

" I said, starting to get angry.

n

"Yes, this is all my fault! Cause I am the one that caused this!

" Zero growled in a sarcastic voice.

n

"Yes, it is! Why are you so stupid that you can't see that you are the problem?! You are sending Demon Elementals ahead of the Demons to purposely warp the words! Why could you ever imagine that I would work with you if you even know me a little bit?

" I roared as I let out a burst element of fury that released waves of energy, altering the environment around me.

nThe ocean started to flow up into the air in streams like motionless cyclones as all the clouds in the sky lit on fire. Trees froze into ice and began to grow massive, and then came to life, breaking from the roots that held them.

n

"I wouldn't have to if you would just agree to work with me! You might hold the world in your hand, but I am the hand that prevents you from being able to realize your potential! Join me, and we can work together to forge new worlds, shaping them in our images!

" Zero roared suddenly, getting up in a rush.

nAlthough I felt the irritability coming off him in waves, I was no longer worried because I knew exactly what I needed to know. Despite the 6 Verdant Frost Elementals surrounding us, all of them remained focused on Zero.

nFrost-covered vines erupted from the giant Elementals, enclosing Zero, and there was no escape this time. If this was all in my head, fine.

nEven if I was being restricted, I was not the one trying to hold on to life by clinging to straws and falling apart.

nThis was all about me trying to finish a job that I was just a breath away from completing from before.. Nothing has changed, and I do not need to rely on my memories for me to understand that this man's doctrine remained unchanged.
