"Gimlet! Tanino Gimlet!"
The halls were filled with a yelling, a distress call, from a surprising source. The awkward and yet intimidating, Symboli Kris S. She ran across the hall yelling out, shouting out and running towards the dorm room of her rival... Tanino Gimlet. Kris S had promised to be her Rival, to be by her side, to bring peace to her chaotic and self-destructive world..... If only she could've been they're in time..... The URA had suddenly made a surpise and yet tragic announcement, Tanino Gimlet had announced her Retirement.
The Jet-Black Emperor cared deeply for her Rival, probably more than what her Rival cared for her, or maybe she did and couldn't be bring herself to say what must be said. The entire 2002 Generation saw them as eternal rivals as beast of they're Generation, where both would surely dominate... it's now been put into question.
"Giml- . . . . Gimlet..."
". . . . . Kris....S...."
Symboli Kris S had made into Narita Brian and Tanino Gimlet dorm room, the door was slightly open and when Kris came inside, there was only Gimlet. She should've been happy. She should've been happy to see her, but Kris did not... she did not feel a warm smile on the other side. She didnt see the bold and confident figure standing before her... She saw a manikin with a broke leg, a crutch, a fallen off eyepatch and a face covered in Darkness. The only bright thing about Gimlet was her Blue Dictus Eye that stood out from the gloomy atmosphere of it all.
"Gi-Gi... Giml- . . . No... that's not... thats not true"
". . . It is... the sadness truth... unfortunate... it is"
Kris S couldn't believe it. She didnt want to believe it. She wanted what was true to her...
"How long. . . . . until recovery. . . . ."
"Doctor said. . . . . Until the end of the year. . . ."
"That's. . . . Ok. . . You'll comeback then right. . ."
". . . No. . . "
". . . . What."
Kris didn't want to believe it. This had to be another chaotic game that Tanino Gimlet was playiny to mess with her, but she was to serious for it to be a joke... it just doesn't make sense
"No that - cant be!"
"If I were to comeback, I would be out of my prime. . . No point in racing if I'm not up what I'm used to be. . ."
". . . . . Gimlet. . . But our riva-"
"Forget about it"
Like a shotgun in the west, those words shoot toward Kris S and ripped threw her heart in an instant. Her eyes got wider, tears began to form. Sadness and Frustration were building up. Yet she persistent.
". . . No I wont. I will be here with you until you recover!"
"There's no point. you'll be hurting yourself more"
"I'm willing to be here to help you recover!"
"Kris. . ."
"We promised to be Rivals until the very end! I am keeping my wo-"
"KRIS S!"
The God of Destruction grew more frustrated with Kris S's persistence. She yelled, commanding the authority in the room, silencing the Emperor.
". . . ."
"Kris. I'm a lost cause. Being here with me will only bring about you're Absolute Destruction and the entirety of our Generation. . . Go achieve your own Glory!"
". . . Gimlet please. . ."
"Forget about me. . ."
"Gimlet..."
"Go find a new Rival."
"No no no no....."
"Go find someone else to Love."
"Gimlet. . . ."
"FORGET ABOUT MY EXISTENCE!"
"I DONT WANT TO!"
". . . . ."
". . . . ."
The room became silent. Both stared at each other. Kris wanted to be with Gimlet, she wanted to help her, to help bring her Happiness, Peace and Joy.... but Gimlet did not feel the same in the moment, she felt like Kris was pitying her. And felt like it was all fake... it was hard in the moment. . . The Room stayed silent for a bit more before Gimlet sat down on her bed, looking down and speaking.
"Look at you. . . Jet-Black Emperor. Oh how have the mighty have fallen..."
". . . ."
"You deserve better. . . I am nothing. sure, The derby is no question. . . But now... I'm a worm who prematurely came out of her cacoon."
". . . . Gi-"
"Shut Up"
". . . ."
"Leave me. . . . . You deserve better than me... a better Rival. Someone better to love. It's not me. . . Never was. . . . Forget. . . . About me"
As Tanino Gimlet said that, a tear feel from her normal eye, it dropped to the floor, creating a flood of sadness across the space it inhabitants. Gimlet knew this was the only option to do... to save Kris from the pain they she had brought her, she brought to much, if she were to say that, Kris would instantly deny it, but it was the truth.
". . . . I'm..... I'm sorry... Gimlet..."
"Do not be.... I am sorry. Now leave.
"Bu-.."
"Do not. Make me. Repeat myself. This hurts me more than it does to hurt you."
"You're future is brighter. . . Than mine Kris. You know it."
". . . . I'm sorry. . . "
Symboli Kris S was at the lowest point in her life... she had to accept it for what it is... the sad but true statement it was. Kris S Tightened her fist, making blood come out due to her finger nail staping into her hand. She closed her eyes and ran away out of the dorm room leaving the shattered form of the God of Destruction to rot.
". . . . Go. Kris. . . Become Greater than me. . ."
"You deserve someone better. . . than me...."
