 Haha, you guys. You guys are too much xD Anyways! I won't comment on anything for the sake of the story! xD Here is the next chapter, enjoy! :D

Chapter 9: Masquerader Massacre

"She is late..." Lilfate comments, sitting in the air with a bored expression on. Standing next to him was Anti-Ezekail and Anti-Josh. They were high above the several battles that were going on. His attention seemed to be fixed on Taylor who was fighting Anti-Cable and Anti-Saber. He sighs, hunching over with more boredom as he shook his head.

"I hope she isn't dead... After all, I did leave her with Ein and Hensa..." He comments to himself, shrugging at this thought as he continued to wait. He suddenly lifted his head up as he felt something, a presence of some kind. He waited a bit more, until finally a smile ran across his face as he heard the sound of something ripping. A large tear in the sky was formed, to which Ein and Hensa dashed through the tear and slide to a halt. Following them came Shapeshiftress. The tear quickly closed as she formed up next to them and looked around, noticing the different battles going on at the same time.

"Hmm... Guess we didn't miss the party." She comments to Hensa and Ein. They simply remained silent as they scanned the area.

"There, Fighting your anti-form... Pedruben is in danger." Hensa informs her as the trio looked in that direction. He was right. Pedruben didn't seem to be doing too well. It was a miracle that her anti-form didn't kill him off yet.

"He can wait... Lilfate is our priority." She tells them, her anger starting to grow the more she thought about where she was and what happened to her.

"I'll rip his heart out for leaving us in the hellhole-"

"Well, well... You survived..." Lilfate's voice came form behind her. Her eyes flared with pure anger as she spun around to face him. She motioned to attack but was stopped as she heard Pedruben scream in pain. Her ears rung with his shout of anguish. Making a quick decision she vanished after thinking for a moment, then suddenly appeared above her anti-form and launched a power kick to her head. Her anti-form soared through the air as she yelled, until finally her body slammed into a building which created a large hole in it.

"Shift..." Pedruben spoke, almost in shock that she was standing before him, even more so that she just saved his life.

"What took you so long!?" He shouts, realizing she could of come sooner, at least that is what he thought.

"I was occupied."

"Indeed she was." Lilfate's voice interjected, causing both of them to spin around and face him. Pedruben joined Shift's side as he eyed Lilfate with anger.

"Feeling helpless, Ped?" Lilfate taunted him, which only angered Ped even more.

"If you hadn't taken my powers form me, I'd be ripping you to shreds." Upon hearing this Shift lightly gasped as she turned to him. Lilfate took his powers?

"Well... That actually explains a lot of things..."

"More than you know, my dear." Once again Lilfate interrupted as he smiled.

"We'll get to that later. But first, I'd like to show you something..." He raised his hand, causing both of them to get ready to fight. They were confused when all he did was snap his fingers and smiled. After a few moments the large door appeared again. This time the doors were facing towards the ground.

"You have no idea how busy you were, or how much damage you've truly done. When I left you in the heart of the Anti realm you made it your mission to kill every single anti form in there, thinking you'd get rid of my army... Which was true..." Suddenly the doors slowly opened. A shinigami body fell out of the doors, falling towards the streets below, motionless, lifeless, completely dead. More shinigamis dropped out of the doors, and soon, it started to rain dead shinigamis. Shift's eyes widen as she watched in horror, matching each face to their anti-form, remembering exactly how she killed them, hearing their shouts of pain and defeat.

"You killed them all, Tress... Every... Single... One..." Her heart began to race as tears streamed down her cheeks. Her mask hide her emotions but her heavy breathing was noticeable. Lilfate found delight in this. His smile twisted so devilishly. The bodies hit the pavement below and shattered into tiny particles, which then slowly ascended to the sky.

"Bravo, Shifty..." He comments as the last body came out of the door. Using her nickname that only one person was suppose to use angered her greatly. Her rage stirred more within her. She became blind with hate and a passion to end Lilfate's life.

"Raaahhhhh!!" She roared, quickly appearing in front of him as he simply stared back into her eyes. She swung her sword with all her might, all her fury, and all her rage. Cling! Lilfate's smile only grew as he shook his head lightly.

"Your anti-form is truly something else." He tells her as she remained shocked. Her anti-self stopped her attack, using the same sword she had.

"You see, just like you, she has a strong affection towards me. Unlike you though, she doesn't want our relationship to be a brother to sister one. I figured this out when she came to my bedroom one night. She tried very hard to seduce me... And I'm not going to lie, I might have given in a little." He tells her, whispering the last part as he leaned in towards her. Shift's anger continued to grow the more he spoke, yet her anti-form wouldn't let her break the hold they were in.

"After all, she is you... At least, it wasn't hard to pretend she was you... I told her the same thing I'm going to tell you now, which surprisingly made her eager to kill you off..." He paused as he smiled even more, leaning in closer to her as she struggled to move her head away from him.

"I... Love... You..." Her heart pounded in her chest as the words he whispered into her ear echoed within her. This little comment distracted her, to which her anti-form sent her rocketing through the air as she preformed a power kick to Shift's head. Ped only watched as Shift was launched through the air, followed by her anti-form and Lilfate vanishing from sight.

"Man! Did you see the look on her face?" Lilfate comments as he chuckled, throwing his arm around Ped's shoulders as he laughed a bit. Ped quickly moved away and got ready to fight. He was surprised that Lilfate got so close to him without even feeling his presence.

"Come now, friend. Don't be so-"

"We're not friends... Not since you took my powers from me and betrayed us all." Pedruben tells him. Clearly he was angered, yet fear was slowly rising. If he could barely hold his own against Shift's anti-form, what chance did he have facing off against Lilfate and winning?

"We were best friends at one point..." Lilfate comments as he displays a sadden expression. Ped remained on his guard. He didn't want to be fooled into anything.

"Do you even know why I took away your powers-"

"I don't care why you did it... All I know is that if I had them, I'd rip you to pieces..." Lilfate thought for a moment, then smiles as he shook his head.

"Noooooo, I don't think that is true... But! I'll tell ya what," He smiles a bit more as he started to move towards him. Ped remained where he was, figuring that running wasn't an option now.

"I'll give you your powers back." Pedruben blinked a few times, trying to figure out if he was telling him the truth or not.

"Come now, I'm a man of my word... And this will be my proof that you're wrong... So here, I'll return your power back, and we'll see if you'll be in the mood to 'rip me to pieces' as you said." Ped started to get a horrid feeling in his gut. Something was wrong. He tried fleeing but nearly fell over. He looked at his feet and nearly caught a heart attack. His feet were frozen in white ice. He lifted his head up and finds Lilfate inches away from his face. Wide eye, sweat dripping from his forehead, and motionless with fear, Pedruben was staring death in the face.

"Here is the truth, friend... You're already dead." His eyes lit up with complete shock as his mouth hung open a bit.

"You see, the only way to kill off your anti-form without you dying in the process, is to kill him with your own hands... Or weapon... In your case, he killed you first..." As he spoke images started to come into his mind. Forgotten memories, or rather hidden memories.

"Its ironic really. You died trying to save me... Oh yes. That event was very much real. My tears, my cries of pain, the blood, the chains, the sand, the night sky, the damp wet cave, the electricity shocking me over and over and over!" He starts to explain, to which more memories started to surface and flood Ped's mind.

"My pleads for help when no one was around! Me, calling your name over and over!! Shouting through blood, sweat, and a raspy soar throat!! ME!! Watching YOU leave with not a single word of your return! Your cold and emotionless stare peering into my soul without a single ounce of remorse or pity!! YOU left me there to die, Pedruben! YOU DID!" Lilfate's expression was now a rage filled glare, peering into Pedruben's sweat and tear covered face.

"Watching you die wasn't as satisfying as this moment is now..." He calmed himself down with that phrase, sighing as he slowly returned his smile.

"Now scream... Scream in horror like I did, so I can watch you die and not give damn..." Ped's body jerked as Lilfate slammed his palm on his forehead. He squeezed firmly as he smiled a wicked and evil smile.

"Oh! By the way, just in case you're still confused... You're not you... You never were you... After Your anti-self killed you they needed a way to cover up your death... That is when I came in, and using my wonderful powers, turned your anti-form into you... You'd think the rest of them would question your disappearance for several months... I guess not." He tells him, shrugging at the end as he paused for a moment.

"So really, you were dead long before any of them... Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to bring my real friend back... Hope this hurts like hell-"

"Gaaaaah!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!" Pedruben screams in pure pain and torment. His horrifying shouts echo through the sky as a roar of energy explodes from them. This event caused the different battles to halt. They all fixed their attention on the commotion, feeling the strong gusts of wind whipping around them. Soon, another explosion of power was released, causing a cloud of smoke to cover Lilfate and Ped. After a few moments the smoke clears and reveals Lilfate standing next to Ped's anti-form. He wore a white biker jacket with white spiky shoes. His jeans were baggy and had chains flowing along them. He looked around, eyeing the different fights that have stopped because of this little display.

"Huh... Took you long enough..." He comments to Lilfate, looking towards him with a bored expression. Lilfate simply smiles as he shrugged.

"You did good, L..."

"Not really... Phase two hasn't started yet. Its kinda been a long day." He replies while scratching the back of his head and smiling nervously.

"Yeah, seems like it... Well I'll-"

"LILFAAAAATE!!!" Shift's scream roared into the sky as she zoomed towards him. Within the palm of her hand was her anti-form's mask, to which she crushed while zooming towards her new target.

"Want me to-"

"No... I got this one." Anti-Pedruben simply shrugged, and vanished from sight as he didn't want to get in the way.

"Ahhh!!" Shift abruptly stopped as her body jerked about. Blood flowed out of her mouth and down her chin as she felt a cold blade within her stomach.

"You know... This love we have... Its madness..." Lilfate tells her, her eyes glaring upon him as he spoke. She quickly grabbed his hand which held his sword, grunting in pain as she tried to remove the blade from her. Lilfate just stared at her, not smiling, nor was he angry. He was calm, which was very odd.

"I-I... Don't lo... L-love you... Only h-hate... Is present..." She tells him through painful grunts, still trying to free herself from his blade. He sighs, then slowly and calmly moved his free hand towards her chest. Her eyes twitched in fury and confusion as he started to rub her chest. At first she thought he was violating her for his own twisted amusement.

"Found it..." This was when she realized he was searching for something, which only brought more fear and confusion to her.

"Remember when I gave Electra that memory stone...? Remember how you couldn't remember anything before that...?" Shift's shocked expression was her reply. It was at this moment that she realizing he did something, as well, why she couldn't remember anything.

"This is why." The sound of her chest being ripped open caused her body to stiffen. In his blood drenched hand was a stone of some kind, yet it looked nothing like the one he gave to her memory-self. She was violently kicked away from him as his sword was pulled out, leaving her to plummet to the ground as her eyes closed, and then shatter into tiny particles.

"Taylor..." Lilfate spoke, noticing he made himself appear a few feet away from.

"I see you're done playing with Cable and Saber... Good..." He adds as Anti-Ezekail appeared next to him. He handed him the purple glowing stone, to which Ezekail quickly vanished as Lilfate wiped his bloody hand on his shinigami outfit. Taylor's fire-covered-form was dark red now, indicating that his powers had advanced, as well as his fury.

"Let phase two begin then... Give me everything you got." A twisted smile formed on his face as Taylor's demonic yellow eyes glowed. Taylor formed his staff into a slightly bigger scythe as Lilfate formed another white ice-like sword in his free hand. Both of them started to raise their energy, causing a gust of wind to surround them and become violent as their energies clashed.

"Phase two... Kill Lilfate..." Anti-Pedruben comments, sitting high above them as he watched with his arms crossed. Next to him was Anti-Josh and Anti- Ezekail. The others were also watching while the anti-forms they were fighting remained close to them, as if they were making sure they didn't interrupt this fight. Taylor and Lilfate got into their fighting stance. Both of them fixed their eyes on each other, waiting for the other to attack. Finally, they both burst forward in a roar of power and clashed their blades, signalling the start of their battle...
