[Kesiah]

Kaimana, Jack and Kesiah stand before the Almighty Raisin. They must now journey towards the battle front, where they will meet Abe.

Jack: I don't understand these native rituals.
Kesiah: Battle front! Has it come to that?
Kaimana: Yes. I am ready to give up my strength
Jack: Alright! Battle!
Kaimana: I'm going into the battle...a mortal.

Kesiah blinks away some tears. Kaimana walks up to her.

Kaimana: Don't cry. It will all be fine you'll see.
Kesiah: I don't want to lose you....

Kaimana takes at tear from her eye and turns it into a rose

Kaimana: No need to worry, You wont lose me. Let's go now.

Kesiah smiles at him. Kaimana walks out of the cave, Kesiah runs after him, and takes his hand. Kaimana smiles at her. Jack follows the pair.

Kesiah: Does Abe have enough assistance to fight the Magog Cartel?
Kaimana: No.
Jack: He will once we arrive! * takes out gun *
Kaimana: Only about 500 warriors strong. We are not too powerful.
Jack: 500? This baby will raise it to 800!
Kesiah: What can we gain through this battle?
Kaimana: Peace.
Jack: Scars.
Kesiah: Peace. It will take some getting used to for some of us.
Kaimana: I know. I may not be around to see that.
Kesiah: Don't say that.
Jack: What about me!

Kaimana smiles at him

Kaimana: You my friend, I hope you live a long good life.
Kesiah: Most of our enemies will be Sligs. Are you sure you're ready to fight them?
Jack: Yes, Skilla sucks, so do they.
Kaimana: As far as I am concerned, It's me, my wits and my tomahawk. Nothing more nothing less.

They walk on for a few moments in silence.

Kaimana: This journey will take two days.
Jack: Two days!
Kaimana: I will have enough time to....pass myself and my powers to another.
Jack: What?
Kaimana: ....nothing.
Jack: Muds are strange....
Kaimana: Anyway, let's move on.

Kesiah smiles sadly, and leans against Kai's arm. Kaimana looks away and tries not to cry.

Kesiah: I wish I could fight with you.
Kaimana: No. You have a more important job.
Kesiah: Please don't cry.
Kaimana: No, it's okay.

Kaimana keeps his comments to himself.

Jack: Let me see that tomahawk.
Kaimana: Sure.

Kaimana grabs it out.

Kaimana: Here.
Jack: hhhmmmmm............ a little weak.........

Jack grabs his tools.
Kaimana: Let the bodies left on the ground determine that.
Jack: Lets see, first we'll need this for medium range.
Kaimana: Don't touch it. Leave it be.

Kesiah watches in surprise.

Jack: .....and this for long range....

Kaimana grabs it back.

Kaimana: Jack...this is a Muds' weapon.
Jack: Come on!
Kaimana: I need not have what the Magog Cartel has.
Jack: I can fix it after the battle.
Kaimana: You may keep it after the battle.
Kesiah: .....after the battle....

Kaimana looks away again and keeps walking. Kesiah tries to distract herself by looking at the different birds flying overhead.

Kaimana: Ah, beautiful are they not?

Jack puts tools away.

Kesiah: Yes.....very...
Kaimana: So free, Living the life they chose, Not the ones fate puts them in.
Kesiah: Sometimes I wish I could be like them, flying overhead, free as the wind...
Jack: I was demoted from flying Slig, cheap Brewmaster.
Kaimana: ...don't we all, love. *Kai holds her tight* Don't we all.

Kaiman glaces at Jack following them.

Kaimana: hmm, I heard he was a mean one.

Kesiah snuggles in.

Kesiah: mmmmm....
Kaimana: Well it will take sometime now. I think we should rest soon. I say we go to the woods and build camp.
Kesiah: As you wish, love.

Kaimana walks into the woods and lays down his stuff

Kaimana: Right..we make camp here.
Jack: I'll go get food * pulls out gun and activates sniper attachment *
Kaimana: hmm

Kesiah collects some Spooce for herself and Kai.

Kaimana: Kes..you can make the fire.
Jack: I ain't eating that stuff.
Kaimana: I don't want to use my powers anymore, I want to give it up..and give it up soon.
Jack: So?

Kesiah works at lighting a fire, and keeping an eye on Kai

Jack: Can I at least go get a Fleech?
Kesiah: I think I have some Scrab meat Jake, you can have that if you want.
Jack: No thanks, I prefer fresh....

Jack goes into woods. Kaimana builds a small shelter for himself and Kesiah. A gunshot is heard not to far away. Kaimana and Kesiah look up, then continue on with their work. Kaimana uses his cloak to drape the shelter. Once this is done, they sit down beside the fire. Kesiah gives Kai some Spooce that she found. Jack comes back with huge Scrab.

Kaimana: Thank you.
Kesiah: *motions towards the Spooce* Please eat it.
Kaimana: I will love. Jack, do you have the tools to make your shelter?
Jack: Yeah, sure.
Kaimana: Good.
Kaimana: I wouldn't want to leave you out alone.

Jack guts and cooks Scrab.
Kesiah hugs Kai.

Jack: mmmmmm........ this is good Scrab!
Kaimana: Kes, I plan to give up my immortality soon. I need not hold to it anymore...just to you.

Jack takes out tools and builds shelter
Kesiah smiles up at Kai.

Kaimana: For the first time will I secure myself through another and live on in a different body.
Kesiah: What would you have me do?
Kaimana: Nothing more then love me.
Jack: Yeah, that should do it! * shows shelter with multiple rooms and sealed on all sides except for the door * See ya! * goes into shelter *
Kesiah: I do love you.
Kaimana: I know that. And I love you as well.
Jack: * opens door * You sure you don't wanna come in here? My pants act as a heater.
Kaimana: heh, I assure you there is no need.

Kesiah leans into Kai. Kaimana lights a small fire on the dirt

Jack: Suit yourself! * slams door *
Kaimana: That will be the last I use my powers, Now all I want is to love you.
Kesiah: I wish there were another way.... that we could be together.
Kaimana: What are you saying?
Kesiah: I only wish that you did not have to go....
Kaimana: .....so do I.

Kaimana holds her and cries.

Kaimana: I never want to leave but it will be hard.

Kesiah wipes away his tears.

Kaimana: I love you and this is what I get for it.

A sawing sound is heard coming from Jack's shelter.

Kesiah: Don't cry, love, don't cry.... I'm here now, and that's what matters.
Kaimana: We will have a child...he will be me in another self. He will be better then me and you will love him and care for him. If that is done...all my time here would have been spent the right way.

Kesiah touches Kai's face.

Kaimana: I love you.

Kaimana hugs her again

Kesiah: I love you too..

Kesiah sighs and hugs back

Kesiah: I feel sad and happy all at once....

Kaimana: The night seemed so long as I looked back at my life, all I had ever lived with was gone that night. My strengths were surpassed and my love was ever strong. I woke up to the arms of the only person I would ever love and we cried over what had happened and what will happen to me.

~Day of the battle, Kai's last stand~
