PROJECT DECEPTION (Complete Beta Version)

Chapter 27 - Akane's True Form and Redemption

NARRATOR: we see our heroes lying on the ground deceased but is this truly the end we now meet our heroes in an empty white void....

CHRISTOPHER CERVANTES: So this is it? This is how I die... I guess my life did mean something until the very end...

RUKIA AKIYAMA: Christopher Don't say that....

CHRISTOPHER CERVANTES: Rukia? You're here too?

RUKIA AKIYAMA: We are partners Chris I told you in our final moments that I meant it... genuinely from my heart you're a good person... like you said nobody is perfect... I suffer from being up-tight a perfectionist and trying to be as good as my older sister Akira... and set a good example to Hinata... it's just the pleasures of being a middle child... I suffer from anger issues and trust issues everybody just calls me a hot head...

CHRISTOPHER CERVANTES: Rukia... you don't need to be as good as your sister to prove a point... you being the top of Downport University's Criminology class of 2023 is already amazing... you have a bachelors degree at the age of 22 while I only have two Certificates in Heating Ventilation Air-Conditioning Repair. Be proud... of how far you come, to me you're great don't downplay your achievements because someone else has done better... plus you are a hot head but I don't see that as a bad thing... you should see me when I play my video games...

RUKIA AKIYAMA: you really mean those things Christopher? Genuinely? *as she looks into Chris's eyes*

CHRISTOPHER CERVANTES: I do 100% Partner...

NARRATOR: They both smile at each other until a short figure appears in front of them... with red hair and a white Dress it's the same girl Chris has seen before...

AKANE HIMURA (True Version): Life is interesting isn't it? The Fear... The excitement... The Joy.... The Sadness.... And the Family.... Hello Christopher and Rukia...

CHRISTOPHER CERVANTES: it's you... you're the real Akane aren't you...

RUKIA AKIYAMA: you're so young... and beautiful definitely not like your devil counterpart...

AKANE HIMURA: The Bible did say that The Devil was once an Angel... but I'm no better then anyone... I've watched both of your journeys from the beginning... the one thing is I'm jealous of you both having such loving families I wish my family wasn't broken...

CHRISTOPHER CERVANTES: *walks over to Akane and gets on his knee and hugs her* Family... doesn't have to be bound by blood Akane... I know we aren't related but I would've been your adoptive dad If I ever met you back then... My mom was never really around when I was born..

RUKIA AKIYAMA: *she tears up of the sweet gesture from Chris as she walks up and hugs Akane too* and if I ever heard your story back then and I was alive I wouldn't have minded being your adoptive mom... my dad wasn't the best towards me... gave me hard times.

CHRIS AND RUKIA: *look at each other and blushing*

AKANE HIMURA: *starts to tear up* do you know how long it's been since I've felt this warmth? Do you want to know? It's been 50 years... Christopher your Grandmother... how is she doing? I am sorry that you had to learn the hard way of how we are connected...

CHRISTOPHER CERVANTES: Akane it's okay... none of this was your fault... I've seen your story... many others one day will love to learn yours too... and my grandma is fine... she's doing okay I never knew she had to hide all of this from me but I will ask her one day about you and hear many of the stories of you and her....

RUKIA AKIYAMA: Your Story may have ended... but to us Akane Your Legacy is just beginning... we will tell the great things you have done... that you're misunderstood you were forced to be this way... but we both know that the reason you are now is because you were going to die... cancer isn't fun...
