Why did K2323 take the idea of his sister dying so lightly, anyway? Truth was, he didn't take it lightly. He did not want his sister to die. And yet, at the same time, deep down, sometimes he swore that it was exactly what he wanted. It was fucked up. He didn't understand it himself.
Hikaru, after all, was fucking batshit crazy. Well, she was, right? But then there was K2323, who was probably equally as crazy, if not more. It took a really crazy family like the Tyris family, though, to understand the kind of crazy that they were. And to understand why they were so crazy in the first place.
Starting with the apparent-grandfather-of-the-Sage-Three-who-K2323-had-never-heard-of-until-recently, the very embodiment of anarchy, chaos, and all that jazz. Pretty evil, right? Chaos and death and all that in flesh? That was crazy. Really crazy.
His son, named CHAOS of all things, was probably just as crazy as grandpa. Chaos was a Keeper of Erebus once, right? Then he lived as a loner in a dark forest, in a hut, for the longest time. And then he started a village, and was living a happy life. But then he turned evil? Greed had infested him, and he had been bent on retreaving treasures and riches to fill the void that his wife, K2323's mom, had apparently left.
That is, up until recently, when dad had found out that mother dearest was alive and well outside the flow of time, going on with her life in the village dad had helped found as if nothing had happened. That was really fucked up, and even K2323 knew it. Why had she not let anyone know of the village being safe? Hikaru was no excuse. It was a village full of sages, after all.
Speaking of Hikaru... Her kind of crazy was no different from all the others in the family, though she'd swear that it was, just to be different from the lineage she came from. Hikaru had destroyed the Era Village, or so everyone (including her) had believed up until a few days ago when it was revealed that the village was alive and well outside the spacetime continuum – At least the time part. She had killed all those in the Guardian HQ which K2323 and Kai had called home. And then she said... sorry, just, what, yesterday?
Kai, the brother of the two sages, was crazy too. K2323 swore that he had some kind of bi-polar disorder sometimes. He came back and forth, here and there every so often. He was incredibly strong and incredibly weak, depending on when you caught him. He even seemed, as of late, to have some kind of multi-personality disorder. K2323 really didn't understand it. It didn't make sense.
So, yeah. The Tyris family was pretty fucked up, and that was that. What K2323 didn't understand about this basic principle was why K2323 just couldn't live a normal life, no matter how hard he tried. He just wanted to be able to relax in a recliner, watch a K Entertainment System, and drink a cold beer. Or perhaps sit in the peaceful Era Valley, drink from spring-water, and then retire to a loving family.
K2323 had tried over and over. He tried to live on Japan all those years ago (or Japae as it was apparently called now days), but he found that the royal life wasn't all for him. He managed to live for the longest time with her... His beautiful wife. He even had a son with her. But then... He shuddered, thinking about the fate of his deceased wife, and a tear formed at his eye.
It was a curse, he found, and this instance here only confirmed it. K2323 Tyris could not live a normal, comfortable life like he wanted. Even after he gave away all the glory and fame of the K Empire to his most loyal of generals, he had to go and 'die' in battle with that Zirridian man. Not that he really died, of course, but he wouldn't tell anyone that. He didn't want anyone knowing what he'd been doing for the past decade.
And now, here he was, standing in the same room as the sister he so desperately wanted to kill for fucking up that chance at a normal life... And yet he found he wanted to protect her from death. Because Hikaru was his sister. And she (and Kai) was as close to normal as he knew. As close to normal as those who were alive, anyway. He didn't dare let his mind go back to the thought he'd had moments ago of his wife and his home in the Era Valley.
“Gaserlake,†K2323 spoke up. “The Tyris family is madly insane. Let us go or we may have to use our SUPERPOWERS on this guy here,†he said, pointing to the elite soldier. “But seriously. This is getting old, playing prisoner. You have the power to end the game, and no, not with some stupid planet arrest idea. Let Hikaru go free. We have more pressing matters to deal with like... that THING you're keeping in the Guardian Headquarters.â€
