Masmune
By: Absoluteze0@aol.com


I felt my silver rose pendant bounce on my neck as I parried the young soldiers blade. I countered with a swift upsweep. The boys repertoire caught me off guard but I managed to move sufficiently out of the way that I only came away with a scratch on my arm. The familiar sure of anger as the demon sword, masmune, took over. The sword would make sure that not only would I win but that the young man would be totally and utterly mutilated beyond all recognition. The sword changed my normal attack patterns to an all out attack if the boy even could withstand the fury of my blows it would be a miracle. The boy tried to block one of my blows. " YOU FOOL!!" I yelled as a final attempt to avoid any more bloodshed, but nothing can stop the power of the masmune when powered by the fires of a rage that has never been seen before. Well before me anyway. When the cursed sword went through his body once .. ..... twice ....... three times only then did the masmune relinquish control. The bar took on a less red view partly because when in control of the masmune all you see turns to a red hue. The boys friends sat looking at me in awe. one , a young man who wielded a extremely long sword , stood up and walked over to me.

"No one has ever lived through a battle with Goer how did you beat him."

I picked up my discarded sheath and ,as if nothing out of the ordinary just happened , strapped it to my side. The friend of the soldier that I just killed was a young man of about twenty three with midnight black hair and a pug nose.

"I did nothing but even if I did he would have lost just not dead."

The man gave me a puzzled look and my partner ,Celeste, walked in raised an eyebrow at the mess on the floor. I nodded and she tilted her head left as the young man watched our silent conversation. I followed her outside only stopping to flip the bar tender a coin.

"Sykes wait tell me how did the fight start."

"He recognized my face from a wanted poster and thought to make a quick thou. That's all nothing more."

"Sure, sure, ..you didn't tell her about where you changed you fighting patterns from mostly defensive to an all out attack."

"She knew already and you must be pretty good to sneak up on us kid."

"I know I'm good and I'm not "kid" I'm Zach."

"Well fine Zach donn't do it again or you're dead got it ."

"Don't worry about him he wouldn't hurt a fly unless it pissed him off.

What does that tell you?"

"Hahaha Don't piss Sykes off."

"Well kid let me talk to him in private for a minute." as the kid walked away Celeste looked up and said one word, "Sepheroth"

"That spawn of whatever hell the centra had has only one legacy this demon sword. What did you find out?"

"You're going to love it seems that the masmune was used by someone else and they conquered it and lived to tell the tale."

"Why do I sense a but coming up Celeste."

"But he's a vegetable he can't even talk."

"Well a fat lot of good that does us any other bright ideas?" she cringed under his harsh verbal assault and it made him immediately wish that he could take it back. Damn this infernal sword. It's power is immense but If its price is this he would do anything to get rid of it but he can't he inherited it. I am the last of the mako enhanced humans I am infused with the cells of Jenova. It is impossible do deny her bidding.

"What is your crazy idea Celeste?" I asked with a sigh.

"Finally geez I was waiting till you stopped beating yourself up, Do you think seeing the masmune will jolt his memory?"

"Hmmm.......I think it would. lets go try it."

"Are you two done yet" asked a curious Zach.

"Yep common Zach lets go!" said my partner Celeste as I shook my head in disbelief. Celeste led us to an old mansion in which were numerous people of varying ages, but you could find more older people than young. She brought us to a room filled with machines A huge bed and leaning against a chair was a sword. She knelt by the old man.

"Mr. Valentine can you hear me Mr. Valentine?"

"Hold on let me try Celeste." I said with confidence, "Sir do you recognize this blade?" I asked as I unsheathed the demon sword. From underneath the sheets came a metal hand down upon mine grasping it in a vice like grip.

"Leave the sword alone it will be the end of you and your friends!" came his horse voice.

"You don't understand," I replied

"Make me understand why you would sacrifice yourself to that cursed object."

"I have the blood of Jenova in my veins I can't let it go. If I do Jenova will destroy me.!" his other hand shot out and put a gun to Celeste's head so fast that even the masmune was caught off guard.

"THEN CHOSE WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT JENOVA TO LIVE ON IN YOU OR WHETHER OR NOT SHE DIES!!" I could feel my blood begin to boil my vision began to cloud with the red of the masmune. NO!! I will not give in I will not strike out in anger but the masmune was sending bolts of electricity through my body IT WAS GOING TO RATHER KILL ME THAN TO LET ME DEFEAT IT!! "aarrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhh NO I WILL NOT SUCCUMB TO YOU DESTROYER OF SOULS!!!!"I had found out what the masmune was it was the only remaining embodiment of Jenova besides me. I swung the demon sword upward catching the gun and pulling it out of target with Celeste. I cut off his gun hand as his claw shot out and impaled me in the chest but nothing can stop the masmune when powered by the fires of rage never seen before!


Until me

I saw the masmune in Sykes hand swing down and crack the skull of the old man named Vincent Valentine after it did though it shattered from the heat running through it from Sykes body. His eyes took on a glass like glaze as he fell. I knew he died but it was not in vain for he had destroyed the indestructible demon sword
