Chapter 17 - Truths & Cures

A/N: Before this chapter even starts I just want to say I don't write to get alot of reads, I write because I enjoy doing it, and because it helps take my mind off things but I would like to thank you all so much for 10k reads, you have no idea how happy it makes me to see people somewhat enjoying this mediocre story.

"Mei what do you mean Fu Hua is dying?" Kiana said.
"Kiana why are you awake you should be asleep while the doctor Fixes your arm" Mei said.
I can already feel myself getting angry again
"I don't care about myself right now, I want to know what's wrong with Hua, SHE IS MY.....She's my...." Kiana apparently didn't know what Fu Hua was to her, Friend? Or something else?
"Kiana sit still!" The Doctor said.
"Kiana....STOP!" Mei shouted.
"Mei? Why are you so angry?" Kiana asked.
"WHY AM I ANGRY? WHY AM I ANGRY!?!?!?!" Mei was screaming at Kiana.
"Calm down Mei it's not the big of a deal" Kiana said.
"ENOUGH! YOU WILL LET THE DOCTOR WORK ON YOU AND WILL NOT MOVE UNTIL SHE IS DONE" Mei shouted.
The Herrscher summoned one of her big red arms and held Kiana down with it, the kaslana couldn't move at all, Mei was unnaturally strong.
"Fine...I'll sit still, can you move your big arm thing though" Kiana asked.
"Not a chance" Mei scoffed and looked away.
"But..." Kiana was defeated.
"No buts! You are going to do what I told you to do or you will deal with the consequences" Mei turned back to look at Kiana with a smug look on her face.
"Besides, you don't really want me to move my arm do you? Don't think I forgot what you said about me and my Herrscher form" Mei said.
"What? How does your mood just change like that?" Kiana was confused.
"I dunno..." Mei said.
The Doctor suddenly realized something.
"Mei I apologize for staring at you but I somehow just now realized you look alot like someone else I used to know, actually you look almost exactly like her" The Doctor said.
"I do?" Mei asked.
"Yeah, except she's no longer around she died 50 Th-" The Doctor stopped herself.
"What were you just about to say?" Mei asked.
"Nothing, I just got sidetracked sorry" The Doctor said.
"It sounded like you were about to say she died 50,000 years ago...but there is know way you would know that unless you were there back then" Mei said.
The Doctor froze for a moment while thinking of what to say.
"No no that's not what I was about to say" The Doctor said.
"I'm on to you....there is something you aren't telling us" Mei said.
"I'm telling the truth" The Doctor said.
"Well whether you are or not, Fu Hua will be able to find out when she gets here" Mei said.
"Hua...is coming here?" The Doctor said.
"Yes she is, I told you this only a few minutes ago" Mei said.
"Oh right, you said she was seriously hurt?" The Doctor said.
"Yes that is what I said, also why did you call her Hua? Only those close to her get to call her that" Mei asked.
"Is that so? My bad then" The Doctor said.
"Yeah, just don't say it in front of her" Mei said.
There is definetly something suspicious about this doctor
"Alright I'll keep that in mind" The Doctor said.
"Good now she will be here any moment" Mei said.
"Okay but I need to fix your friend Kiana here, do I not?" The Doctor asked.
"Well yes obviously, but if Fu Hua is in a worse shape and about to die, shouldn't she be dealt with first?" Mei asked.
"Mei! I thought you cared about me!" Kiana pouted.
"I do very much so care about you, but Fu Hua is your... Best Friend and your sister told me it seemed like she was dying so wouldn't you also prioritize her first? And besides it doesn't seem like you really care about getting fixed all that much so what are you even complaining about!?" Mei asked.
"Haha I guess that is true, i tend to put others before myself" Kiana said and went to scratch the back of her head but couldn't move her arm.
Oh right...it's broken and Mei is holding the other one down
"And Thats what I Hate about you, you should be worrying about yourself before you worry about others!" Mei said.
"But it's how we Kaslana's work, we-" Kiana was interrupted.
"I don't wanna hear it! About you and your Kaslana destiny to save the world, You should be choosing your own fate rather than following the Kaslana Tradition to carry the weight if the world on your shoulders" Mei said and a small bit of electricity could be felt coming from her.
"But Mei....what if that's the Fate I want, what if I want to save the world?" Kiana said and looked at Mei intently.
Mei could feel herself getting mad again.
"Oh my god can you stop getting so mad... one of these times your gonna electrocute her to death"
Kiana could feel a danger amount of electricity coming from Mei.
Oh shit...she's gonna kill me!
"MEI!" Kiana yelled.
The girl didn't hear her.
"MEI YOUR GONNA ELECTROCUTE ME TO DEATH!" Kiana yelled once again.
Mei still didn't hear her.
The Doctor watched this unfold.
I'm not about to let my patient die, ive changed since back then, I'm no longer that self-obsessed monster, I was trying to hide my identity but...if the cost of saving someone is exposing myself then....so be it
The Doctor decided she should step in and stop Mei herself, so....she pushed her down onto the floor and when she touched Mei she could feel an immense amount of electricity flow into her, but she didnt really feel much in the way of pain because she was......not a normal human, some would not consider her a human at all.

"Your gonna be just fine Senti don't worry" Durandal said.
Senti was in Durandal's arms clutching her chest cause the immense amount of pain amd there was still alot of blood leaking out of the side of her mouth, she looked like she was dead already.
"Haha...y-yeah I know *cough* your n-not gonna let me die *cough* right?"
Senti asked.
"I refuse to let anyone else die, especially you" Durandal said.
"Well, *cough* how exactly, do you p-plan to cure me?" Senti asked.
"I-I don't know....I'm just hoping the doctor can do something..." Durandal said.
"I never knew...that she cared so much about me"
"Well old timer I had no idea she did either, unfortunately it was realized a bit late"
"I just feel bad for her, I feel like she knows the doctor can't do anything but she is still going anyways because she doesn't want us to die"
"I don't know what she's planning to do either but...at this point im in so much pain i honestly wouldn't mind letting go...and I know you feel the same"
"I do....and I've just been alive for so long that...I just..."
"I know old timer....you don't have to say it"
"Thank you Senti, but I would feel bad for leaving Kiana behind...."
"Wait a minute I just had an idea...If she used the abyss flower on us would that work?"
"No I dont think it would...at most it would slightly alleviate the pain your feeling right now"
"Thats sucks...I thought it was a good idea....oh right it consumes the life force of the user doesnt it? Never mind then"
"SENTI Answer Me! I can't loose you!" Durandal was panicking cause Senti hadn't responded in a few minutes.
"What? *cough* calm down I was j-just talking to *cough* the Old Timer" Senti said.
The dying Herrscher coughed up more blood.
"Oh my god! That is Seriously way too much blood, how are you even still conscious?" Durandal asked.
"I guess I'm just *cough* built different" Senti said.
"This is hardly the time for jokes!" Durandal said.
"Relax a bit Dudu, we're nearly there anyway" Semti said.
"Dudu!?!?" Durandal was flustered and her face turned red.
Did she really just call me Dudu?
"What I'm not *cough* allowed to call you that?" Senti asked.
"Of course you are, I was just caught off guard is all" Durandal said.
"Mhmm whatever you say" Senti said.

Mei finally snapped out of it and looked around.
"What happened? Why am I on the floor?" Mei asked.
Mei then looked at the doctor and noticed burn marks on her arms and a bunch of electrical arcs bouncing all over her body.
"Oh my god did I do that? Are you okay!?" Mei asked.
"Me? I'm fine, but I think im gonna give you that anger medication right now, cause you almost just electrocuted your friend to death, so I decided to step in and stop you" The Doctor said.
"But...how are you so...intact?" Mei asked.
"Ha...well about that" The doctor chuckled nervously.
"So was I right about you hiding something?" Mei asked.
"Yeah....I guess I can't hide it now, would you like to know who I really am?" The Doctor asked.
"Yes I would" Mei said.
"Can I wait until Hua gets here? Cause she will definitely be shocked" The Doctor asked.
"I suppose we could wait, in the mean time I'm gonna go back to working on your Friend here" The Doctor said.
"I have a name ya know!" Kiana said.
"You never told me your name" The Doctor said.
"Uh...yes I did, when I was here a few days ago, shouldn't you have that written down somewhere? And my name is Kiana Kaslana" Kiana asked.
"Kiana Kaslana, I'll write that down- wait did you just say Kaslana?" The Doctor asked.
"I did, why?" Kiana asked.
"Well because-" The Doctor was interrupted by someone barging into the room.
"PLEASE HELP!" Durandal yelled as she barged into the room with a bloody girl in her arms.
"Hey guys...." Senti said.
"Senti?! What the hell happened?" Kiana asked.
"I don't know Durandal said something *cough* and then these thorns inside *cough* me just tightened and now my insides are slowly *cough* being torn apart" Senti coughed up even more blood all over the floor.
The Doctor was looking at Hua.
Thorns.....does she really, could she possibly have the Hanahaki disease? I thought it was just a myth, wait a minute...is that even Hua? She looks the same, but also completely different at the same time
"Wait a minute Who even are you? I Thought Fu Hua was coming here?" The Doctor asked.
"Well right now *cough* i'm Senti, A.K.A The Herrscher Of Sentience" Senti said.
"What? When did this become a thing?!?! What is this the Herrscher bargain shop!?!? Why are there so many of you guys?" The Doctor exclaimed.
"But....there is only 2 of us" Mei said.
"Uhmm *cough* Mei I should tell you something, and y-you as well Durandal" Senti said.
"What?! Now is hardly the time for talk, your dying!" Durandal said.
"I'll be fine for a moment, what *cough* I'm about to say is very important and *cough* I've been hiding it since it happened" Senti said.
"What have you been hiding?" Mei asked.
"You remember how before all this Kiana started screaming things like 'im gonna kill you' and all that?" Senti asked.
"Yes....but what does this-"
Durandal said.
"Ah! I'm not done, so i know why that happened before i invaded her mind" Senti said.
"You make it sound like your about to say Something bad" Mei said.
"It's not that bad, so basically *cough* Kiana also has a Herrscher inside of her and unlike me and Mei's hers is not so *cough* friendly, so when I realized what was happening, I had to act fast and take over the Old Timers body *cough* Do I could invade Kiana's mind and destroy the Herrscher before it stomped out Kiana's consciousness, while I was unable to destroy *cough* the Herrscher, it certainly won't be back for quite some time" Senti said.
"WHAAAT!?!?" Durandal and Mei yelled at the same time.
"Doctor did you know this!?!" Mei said.
"I did, I had detected it earlier while I was examining Kiana's Brain"
The Doctor said.
"Hey you used my name!" Kiana said.
"Hey old timer....there something suspicious about this doctor"
"I know..."
"WHY DIDNT YOU THINK TO TELL ME?!" Mei said and raised her sword against the doctor's neck.
"Calm down, I had my reasons, I wanted someone who knew what was happening to explain it rather than me" The Doctor said and grabbed Mei's sword before crushing it with her hand and dropping the pieces to the ground.
"What the fuck!?!? I just made that!" Mei's Herrscher persona said.
Did the Herrscher just take over for a second? That felt weird....
"How...did you just do that?" Mei asked and backed up a bit.
"Yeah how in the hell...." Senti asked before spitting up more blood.
"Rather than worrying about me and who I am, why don't we see what we can do about this Mythical sickness of your?" The Doctor said.
Mei grabbed the doctor by her throat.
"No...you said you would tell me who you really are when Fu Hua got here" Mei said.
"A-and I will, but seriously you need to let me explain what Disease This...Herrscher flame chaser has" The Doctor said.
"What the.....how did she even know that? No one but Kiana should know that"
"Kiana knows?"
"Yes she does, Kiana is the one person of this Era who I have spilled all my secrets to, and your a part of me, you should know this"
"Hey! I'm not always paying attention you know"
"Anyways.....this doctor does seems Kinda familiar but I can't quite pinpoint why..."
Mei let go of the doctor and looked at Senti.
"Exlpain....YOUR A FLAME CHASER?" Mei yelled.
"Haha...well cats out of the bag now, We are a flame chaser, well Old Timer is *cough* I wasn't around when she became one" Senti said.
"Old Timer the beans have already been spilled I might as well tell them you are immortal too, is that okay?"
"I suppose you might as well"
"Oh one more thing, Old Timer is also immortal" Senti said.
"Your immortal? Well then why is everyone so worried about this sickness?" Mei asked.
"Well the Old Timer is immortal, if she *cough* dies we don't know if I'll come back with her, and besides even if she died the sickness would likely just *cough* return when she comes back....all though i caused it to appear in the first place" Senti said.
"What do you even have?" Mei asked.
"I don't know, ask the doctor she seems to know" Senti said.
"Basically she has a sickness that I had believed to be just a myth, but with the thorns and flower petals, it all but confirms my suspicion" The Doctor said.
"So...what's it called?" Durandal asked.
"It's called the Hanahaki Disease, and it is caused when someone experiences unrequited love, and that causes a thorny plant to slowly grow on their insides and makes the person throw up flower petals, and this slowly kills the victim, and if you don't know what unrequited means, its when a feeling is not returned, but im afraid it could possibly be more complex due to the fact that the disease originated in the Herrscher and not Fu Hua herself, if Hua happens to be in love and senti is in love with the same person, but senti isnt loved back but hua is, that could be how this all started" The Doctor said.
"Oh my goodness, that's horrible Senti who is it that you love?" Durandal asked.
Senti's eyes widened and her face turned red.
"I...no one!" Senti said.
"Thats a load of bullshit" Mei said.
"I can't say *cough* it right now..." Senti coughed up some more bloody flower petals.
"It's someone in this room isn't it?" The Doctor asked.
Senti felt like she was about to loose consciousness, she had been hold it all back for too long.
"I..." The Herrscher could no longer speak properly.
"It's almost the end for her, i can tell" The Doctor said.
"W-what? No!" Durandal said and held Senti against her chest.
The Doctor was examining the situation.
Hmmm...could it be the blonde girl that Senti loves?
"One more thing, there is no known cure" The Doctor said.
The room fell silent and the air got heavy....no one wanted to belive the words that just came out of her mouth.
"That can't be! There has to be something you can do!" Durandal exclaimed.
"Well there is something I could try...but like I said, because it originated in the Herrscher it may not work, I could surgically remove the thorny plant, but that would also cause her to loose her love for the person or maybe even remove her ability to love ever again, but like I said, if I remove the plant from Fu Hua's body it may just return because she isn't the one that isn't loved"
The Doctor said.
"I'd rather die than accept that..." Senti said.
"What! Why?" Durandal looked at Senti in the eyes which made the Herrscher turn red.
"Why?!?!?, because to never*cough* be able to *cough* to love anything again is*cough* a fate worse than dying!" Senti said.
"But..." Durandal said.
"Just *cough* accept it!" Senti yelled and started crying.
"Sorry I lied, there is one more thing, I will know Reveal my true identity.
I am Mobius, one of the 13 flame chasers of the previous ERA, I was once a horrible monster who cared about nothing but myself and my experiments, but nowadays I've changed, on thing still atands true though and that is I am still a doctor" Mobius said.
Everyone was shocked.
"Mobius!?! So she did end up surving? Senti, do you have the strength to give me control for a minute?"
"Sure, but I don't know if you'll have a minute"
Senti gave control to Fu Hua.
"Mobius!? Your still alive!?!" Fu Hua said.
"Ahh there you are" Mobius said.
Fu Hua could already feel herself fading and collapsed to her knees.
"How....why...when did you change so much?" Fu Hua asked.
"Over the course of the past 3,500 years when something horrible happened to me" Mobius said.
"I guess even monsters can change" Fu Hua said as her head drooped lower.
Come on, I only need a minute...don't fail me now body
Fu Hua start to violently hack up a ton of bloody flower petals, this was then end, Her finale.
"Sorry about this old timer but I'm taking control!"
"What...no! You'll die!"
Senti took back control of Fu Hua's body.
It was while watching this that Mei realized simething.
"Wait a minute...couldn't it be cured if the person actually does love Senti and confesses to her?" Mei asked.
"Hmmm....that might just work, but there is one issue with that, we don't know who said person is" Mobius said.
Durandal finally figured out what she can do to save Senti.
"I do...." Durandal said and grabbed hold of Senti's face.
"W-what are you doing!" Senti asked.
"Saving you, like I said I would" Durandal said And pressed her lips against Senti's.
Senti's eyes widened and she couldn't belive what was happening, Durandal pulled away.
"I-i also love you, not just Hua, but you as well, you guys are both one, so why would I love her, and not you?" Durandal said.
Senti felt as though a ten ton weight was lifted off her chest, and she could slowly feels the thorns receding.
"I....I love you too! I love you so so much..." Senti said.
"So how do you feel?" Mobius asked.
"I feel...lighter, I can breath again and I can feel the thorns slowly receding, and the pain is still very much so there but it is fading ever so slowly" Senti said.
"I'm so glad that worked, I thought I was gonna fail another patient, and my old comrade...." Mobius said.
"But...I'm not your comrade, the Old Timer is" Senti said.
"No you are as well, you are part of her, which means your still my old comrade" Mobius said.
"Hey! Your old too!" Senti pouted.
"Hahaha, that's not what I meant" Mobius said.
"Thank you for saving my best friend Sis" Kiana said.
"I've never seen such a display of emotions before" Mei said.
"If I could shed tears right now I would"
"You have emotions?"
"What the fuck? I'm not heartless you know"
"Whatever you say, By the way, what are you gonna do about the sword?"
"Well obviously teach you to make another one"
"Oh..I guess I'll cooperate"
"Thanks for breaking my sword by the way, now I'm gonna have to spend several days making a new one" Mei said.
"No need" Mobius said.
"What?" Mei was confused.
Mobius walked over to a long metal box hidden in the corner of the room and brought it over to Mei.
"What's this?" Mei asked.
"Open it" Mobius insisted.
Everyone gathered around Mei in curiosity.
Mei opened the box and was in awe.
Inside was The Seven
                  Thunders Of
                   Retribution.
"What....is this, it feels like it's resonating with me..." Mei grabbed the blade and it slightly changed shape to suit her a bit better.
"That is the Seven Thunders Of Retribution, the 3rd divine key from the previous ERA, and it has been waiting for its true master since its creation, it will change based on the environment and who is weilding it as you just saw" Mobius said.
"This...this is amazing, thank you so much" Mei said and but the blade into her sheath.
"It was always yours, also take this anger medication cause you need it" Mobius said.
"Uhmm thanks" Mei said.
"This sword....I've never seen such fine work before, it is a masterpiece"
"Yes, it truly is"
"That sword is so cool! Can i see it?" Kiana asked.
"Uhmm sure just dont swing it around" Mei said.
Mei unscathed the sword and handed it to kiana, and the moment she did it glowed and changed shape into a gun.
"Woah...it turned into a gun!" Kiana said.
"Thats your weapon of choice is it not?" Mei said.
"Yep, it all started when I picked up my dads weapon, the Judgment Of Shamash to save him" Kiana said.
Everyone looked at Kiana.
"You wielded THE JUDGMENT OF SHAMASH?!?! How? It burns most people alive, also i thought it was a sword" Everyone else but mobius said.
"It is both a sword and a gun, it was simply so powerful it was split into two guns, and it's full form is its Zweihander form, and then it's full power is called Might Of An-Utu, and it is a weapon that can only be wielded by the Kaslana bloodline, still....i wonder how kevin lost it" Mobius said.
"So basically it's a weapon built for her?" Everyone asks.
"Yes" Mobius said.
She looked at the weapon in Kiana's hand
"That weapon shouldn't be able to change that much, it must be her Kaslana genes, she is a descendant of Kevin after all, and he managaed to Immobilize the Final Herrscher, so he is insanely strong, and in fact srill alive" Mobius said.
Kiana froze at the words Final Herrscher and the name Kevin.
"Why did you just freeze up?" Mobius asked.
"I-I-I....had a nightmare earlier where I became this Final Herrscher and Killed everyone here, Kevin included and destroyed the world, it felt all too real" Kiana said.
"I see...well don't think about it too much" Mobius said.
Kiana handed the weapon back to Mei and she put it away.
"Alrighty, now That The Herrscher Flame chaser is cured I'm gonna continue to work on your arm Kiana" Mobius said.
With that, Senti and Durandal went and sat down next to each other
On a bench in the room.
"Man...what a day, I Dealt with the Herrscher Of The Void, then The Herrscher Of Thunder showed up, I nearly died, and yeah...most importantly I gained something very important today" Senti said.
She kissed Durandal on the lips once more.
"But your okay now" Durandal said.
"I am, thanks to you" Senti said and rested her head I'd Durandals shoulder.
Senti was still hurting alot, but it would all be okay now, The thorns were receding, there were no more flower petals, and the pain was slowly going away, in due time the thorns will be completely gone and she will be back to full health.

A/N: Wow look at that, what do I even call them...Sentudu? Durhua?
Huandal? Help me out here.
