[SP-F6] <<Calming The Soul>> (Rayne)

[Zirrix 0]

Rayne had traveled to Floor 6 to explore, as she had never been to that floor, and she came across a quest called <>. "Hmmmm...a waterfall huh? Guess I'll go check it out." Maybe there's stuff to kill? Well apparently if I concentrate enough an evil reflection of myself will attack, and knowing me it'll probably be you... So yeah, there's stuff to kill. And no. You will not kill it, because it's basically you. She thought, talking mentally to the sadistic voice in her head.

It took a while to get to the waterfall, but when she got there she saw why the quest was about meditating, concentrating, etc., as it was easy to forget everything when focused on the surroundings. She stood in front of a small pool of water and saw her reflection. Wow, I've never really looked at myself... She thought. (Look at signature or on the character pictures thread for what she looks like) "Well, let's get started then..." She said as she unequipped her boots and sword and sat on one of the rocks in front of the waterfall.

Rayne sat in silence, closing her eyes and focusing on the sound of the waterfall. She opened her eyes again and looked at the waterfall, a beautiful sight. Then, she heard a slight rumbling sound and saw a monster appear. Before looking, she quickly equipped her boots and weapon and faced the monster. She saw the red crystal above it and its name with its level and HP bar. <> Lvl 4 and with 11/11 HP, an image of her sadistic side, with pitch black hair and red eyes. "So, I guess I gotta fight you? Bring it on." She said, challenging the monster. It charged at her, and upon closer observation, she noticed it had a slight sadistic grin. Do I look like that when you control me? Pretty much. Holy crap, no wonder some people are afraid of me. She thought. The monster brought its sword down upon Rayne, who attempted to dodge the attack and retaliate.

She succeeded, rolling out of the way of the sword and stabbing the monster in the thigh, dealing a critical hit.

Rayne: 11/11 HP

Evil Rayne: 9/11 HP

Rayne grinned, satisfied from her successful hit on the monster and from the thrill of the fight. "You see what happens when you mess with me?" She shouted. And now I see how much you hate me. I thought it was obvious. Well, seeing you try to kill a physical form of me, I say yeah, it is pretty obvious. Anyways, let's get back to-Where did it go? She thought, as the monster had disappeared from sight. She stood, observing her surroundings for a sign of it.

Rayne had spent a while observing her surroundings, waiting for her evil self to make a sound or show a sign that it was still there. Suddenly, she heard a rustle in the trees around her. She turned around to see the reflection jumping towards her, sword extended.

Rayne saw the reflection coming at her, and she jumped and rolled out of the way, then ran up to the reflection and slashed it across the chest, dealing 1 damage, as it was a counterattack.

<>: 8/11 HP

Rayne had struck the reflection, and was grinning in success. This is going better than expected... Weird, I'm way tougher than this crap. Apparently not. Shut up. Make me. She thought, preparing herself for another attack. The reflection attacked, attempting to stab Rayne's shoulder.

1-2: Dodge failed, took a critical hit

Rayne sidestepped the attack and successfully counterattacked the reflection, dealing 1 damage. She jumped back and charged at the reflection, intending to finish it off.

[Zirrix 0]

Rayne had done half of the reflection's current HP, leaving it at about 3. "Come on...just die already!" She yelled. The reflection just stared at her with the same sadistic grin. "The hell's wrong with you?!" It kept staring. "..." She stared at it, both staring at eachother. The reflection then disappeared, appearing behind Rayne, holding a dagger to her throat. "Holy sh-" She was interrupted as the reflection held the dagger closer to her throat.

Battle Dice:

1-3 Release failed, take 2 damage

[Zirrix 0]

The reflection slashed Rayne's throat, leaving a red pixel gash on it and dealing 2 damage. Rayne was released and held her throat, glaring at the reflection. "Let's finish this." She said, charging at it, stabbing it where its heart would be, ending the battle. "Alright, I won!"She shouted.

Rayne was too busy celebrating that she didn't notice that the monster hadn't dissolved into crystals, instead melting into shadows that formed about 15 reflections, all of them with 1 HP. "The hell..." Rayne muttered as she turned to face the group of reflections. "I don't care how many of you there are...I WILL KILL YOU ALL!" She yelled, charging the group, decapitating one, stabbing the other, slashing the other, etc. Soon there were only 2 left.

[Zirrix 0]

They both charged at Rayne, slashing and stabbing anywhere they could, the sadistic grin never leaving their face. Eventually they were both standing in front of her, swords crossed. She ducked and rolled between them and decapitated them both. "Am I finally done here?" She asked no one in particular.

[Zirrix 0]

A deep voice suddenly came from nowhere. "Not...quite..." it said with a thunderous voice. "Now...you must delve within yourself, and truly defeat your inner conflict." "What the hell do you...mean..." She said as she blacked out.

When she woke up, she found herself in her own mind, she knew it because she had been there before. She then found herself facing her evil self. Not a reflection, but the actual voice in her head. "The hell?" It said. "Asking myself the same thing." Rayne said. "In order to complete the quest, you must defeat your inner demons." The voice boomed. "What?" "What?" The two Raynes said in unison. "I...I refuse. Sure, she's done some stuff to my life, but she's a part of me, no matter how unbearably annoying she is." She said. "You either face her, or you both face me." It said. "...I'll fight you." "Me too..." They said. "Very well..." The voice said. Suddenly a giant shadowy figure appeared.

<>

100/100 HP

"Holy..." "Crap..." They both said.

[Zirrix 0]

"Uhhhh..." Was all Rayne could say when she saw the monster. "Um...you go first..." Said the sadistic Rayne. She rolled her eyes as she charged the monster. When she struck its leg, she saw something and gasped.

"No way..." "But...that's impossible!" They said as they looked at the sign. "Now you see why it was a fool choice..." Said the monster.

[Zirrix 0]

"Um..." "RUN!" Both Raynes said as they backed away from the immortal object. They ran, eventually coming to a stop as they ran into an invisible wall. They both fell down, facing the monster. "We're not afraid of you!" "Uh...yeah!" They said. Suddenly the monster vanished. "Very well, you have faced your fear of me. Your quest is almost complete, there is one more thing you must do..." It said. "What?" "You must face the demons of your past... Only then will your mind truly be at peace..." It said. "What do you mea-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed as a sort of trapdoor opened beneath her and she fell.

Rayne woke up in a memory of some sort, though the other Rayne wasn't with her. She then saw her parents, looking at her with a look of disappointment. So...I have to face whatever stuff's happened to me in the past...I get it now. "Hikari, what have I told you about playing those damn video games. You know you deserve punishment for your actions." Her dad said. Hikari...I haven't heard my name in so long... She thought. Her mom left the room and came back holding a belt, which she handed to her dad. "If you would only listen to me, you wouldn't have to go through this." He said as he brought down the belt several times. I have to kill them, don't I...just like I- she did last time... She thought as she eyed the knife on the table. She sighed, knowing what she had to do. She ran just as her dad was raising the belt and grabbed the knife. Then, she stabbed him right in the heart. Her mom looked at her with a face of pure terror. Rayne swiftly slit her neck, looking away, as to not have to relive the experience.

Rayne looked up and shouted. "Well, what now?" She asked. "Now you face your fears. All of them. After that, your quest will be complete." "Finally, now, let's get this over with." She responded.
