life worth dying for? ... don't look to death to find this ..."

"Stop it! Stop it !!!", the seventeen year old stepped back, "You don't know anything !!! You don't know what we had to go through the last few years and YOU DON'T KNOW ..... what you did to us back then when you switched sides! Just leave me in peace! ", with a jerk Fade stretched out his right hand and the sword of the apocalypse appeared," So you think that I don't have the power to wield the sword? You still haven't understood what this is all about! "

> Who does he mean by `` us ''? ... He will not have meant ... Kaoru and Sirius!?! ...Oh ... no ... <, Kakeru dodged quickly when Fade attacked him again.



".... I don't know .... but his manner fascinates me .... He was the first to really understand me ... Fade didn't have it easy at that time either .... "

"I know what you mean ... you told me ..."

Ray straightened up and, despite some pain, sat down so that he could look his sister straight in the eyes.

"You should stay lying down ..."

He gently put his hand on her cheek, ".... You are not only worried about him ..... Hey .... I don't care if I'll see something in my right eye again or not .... The most important thing for me is you .... "

Tanya leaned against her brother's chest and closed his eyes as he ran a hand lovingly through her hair.

> Ray .... You know just like me how Fade must feel .... He just doesn't show it .... << br />

"Fade! Stop it! Do you even know what you're doing!", The redhead was still blocking the younger man's attacks.

"In contrast to you, I know what I'm doing! And I also fight for it! I'm not like you ... and just run away. But I have learned one thing from it ... in life you will always be betrayed - no matter by whom ! ", he stormed towards Kakeru, but Kakeru grabbed his arm, which was wielding the sword.

For a long time he looked Fade in the eye, until he bowed his head. The redhead leaned carefully and put an arm around him.

"Why fade ?! What happened that you hate me so much?"

He got no answer from him. Fade just stood there, but after a while he replied, "You ought to know that best ... Why ... Why do ... you still trust me? ... I mean ... me. .. lied to yourself ... and attacked .... and yet .... do you understand? .... "

"Hey ... everyone makes mistakes ..."

"Tzt! I do them on the fly!I ask you ... how many times can you fail in life? ... "

Even Kakeru didn't know the answer, suddenly both felt an enormous force and Fade broke away from the older man.

> Viragos ... damn it! << br />
The brown-haired man took the sword and walked a few meters forward when the wind was stronger.

"Come on, show yourselves!"> I know that you are after me! << br />
"What is that? !!", Kakeru looked around suspiciously when he was warned by Fade to leave. Since Fade could not concentrate further at that moment, someone attacked him out of nowhere who gave the younger boy three deep cuts in the face.

"Argh! Get out of here, Kakeru- san !!!!"

Fade was hurled against a tree by an unpredictable force, and he ended up lying motionless.

With a serious and worried expression on his face, Kakeru walked up to Fade, picked him up and tried to get himself and him to safety.At first he was attacked by the power that came out of nowhere, but then it disappeared without a trace ...

> Strange ... This force never belongs to the Wolfs or Shadow Clan ... << br />
Kakeru put Fade down, who in the meantime came to and held his head in pain.

"And how are you? Hopefully you still know who you are, don't you?"

"Thanks!" Fade answered his question sarcastically and irritably.

"Sorry ...."

"I can do without that ... You know very well that I have total amnesia as far as my past is concerned ... So stop it!"

"All right, all right ..... I know ... But because of just now .... Who or what was that?"

Fade said dismissively that he didn't need to know and that it was none of his business.

"Oh fade ..... I don't even recognize you ... What is the reason that you have changed so much? And what do you need the sword for?"

"I think you know the reason yourself! ....", still slightly dazed, the brown-haired man stood up," You want to know what I need the sword for? Believe me, she's not the one who can lead it! I only get what I'm entitled to! And YOU can certainly not stop me from looking for and finding the Temple of Noctra! Do your thing alone, but don't count on me! I'm fed up with it all! Seal or not! I have enough! I don't let anyone determine my fate! "

".... Where are you going? You're crazy, you can't go to the temple! You can't just go like that without treating your wounds."

"And how I can do that!", The younger replied coldly, "Just stay out of my life! You have died for me a long time ago!" With these words, Fade left Kakeru alone, who was really serious about him made ....





Some time later, Fade was on a ledge, looking up at the red-colored firmament.

> He doesn't know anything ... just like the others ... Damn it, how could we be so wrong about him ..... I should have killed him ..... why didn't I? .... <"..... Soon the time will come ... Then it will turn out who wins and who loses ...." he said to himself and enjoyed the rain that pelted him gently. ..

Suddenly he heard Trunk's voice and turned around so that the dark brown-haired man could look him in the eye. > The next troublemaker << br />
"What do you want? !!" he asked dismissively.

"Why do you deal with flair like that? Has she harmed you ?!"

Fade said sarcastically, "Ohh ... Do we have complexes? Something completely new .... So Flair has to send her bodyguard in front of her because she can't take care of it herself ... So that's what it looks like .... Come on, hiss Do I look like I want to talk to you about you ?! No way! And anyway! This is none of your business! "

Trunks spoke up immediately when Fade paused, "Now hold your breath!Nobody wants to be treated like that! And you certainly don't do that with a girl! "

"So we're gentlemen! Unfortunately, that won't be of much use to you!"

"Can you please tell me what you have against her and what you have to do with Tanya!"

"Ahhh! That's what it's all about! You were just looking for a reason to come up with this topic with me! Yes! I have something against flair! This constant questioning is totally annoying and your way of doing things goes against the grain! !! .... If you really want to know ... Tanya and I are just friends .... ", he glared at him with his ice-colored blue eyes that Trunks didn't like at all," .... But I'll tell you one thing ... Keep your fingers off of her .... She has, by God knows what, other worries> that I'll give her
"Hey! Nobody talks to me like that!"

"Good! Then I'll be the first to do this! You think you are the greatest here, but don't be mistaken ..."

"What's the matter with you?" Trunks asked and looked into Fade's cold eyes.

"I hate it when someone like you comes along and wants to teach you better than if you were flawless! Tzt ... I'm just wasting my time with you here!"

The dark brown-haired man turned his back on him when Trunks abruptly grabbed his wrist, "Let-me- go !!! It's all settled !!!"

Trunks looked him in the eye, "I think so less! I'm not buying that between you and Tanya is no longer like friendship!"

"Do you hear bad? Don't touch me! I said that is no more !! Although ... you are actually right!", Trunks didn't like the icy undertone in Fade's voice at all,

"Be careful what you say! I love to make an exception for you!"

" How do you mean?"Trunks found the whole thing more suspicious, who was that fade anyway ?!

"You could be the first to believe in it pretty quickly! I will exterminate everyone who belongs to the Shadow Clan and the Seals one by one!" That was too much for Trunks, because he reached out with the other hand and gave Fade a chin hag .

The seventeen-year-old held his left cheek, then put his hand to his lips and wiped away the little trickle of blood. With a look that Trunks couldn't interpret, Fade looked at him, "Typical ... If words are no longer enough, you have to resort to other means ..."

"You don't have them all anymore !!!! I won't buy that from you !!!"

"Believe what you want - you fool! At the latest when the time comes, you will see the truth ..."

Trunks gritted his teeth, "Your plan won't work! The others will see through you! And as long as I'm here you won't destroy anyone!"

Fade rushed towards Trunks in a flash and pressed him against a tree, holding a dagger to his throat.

"Do you really think that you would have a chance against me? Ridiculous! I was trained exactly on that day ..... And by someone like you, I won't let myself get down!"

"Your little game that you play will be exposed! And you can't fool Tanya either!"

"Are you so sure about that? Would you put your hand in the fire for that? Probably less! From me you can tell the others ..... only it won't work because they won't listen to you ... ... I'll take care of that! ", Fade slowly let the blade of the dagger glide over Trunk's cheek," This time you will lose! Your fate is predetermined! "

The seventeen year old grabbed Trunks and hit him in the neck with a targeted blow, so that he fell to the ground.

With a darkened mine, Fade withdrew and slipped the dagger back under
