❝ANOTHER BAD END MEME❞

A popular fan theory is that the enemy swords you fight are actually your swords from an alternate universe who wished to change history. For this meme, feel free to make up your own starters or use one of the prompts below. Remember to state if your character is corrupted, not, or if you have no preference.

1. How could you let this happen? They wanted to be left alone, their mood was poor, and maybe you should have noticed the signs but now that you have, it’s too late. They can’t stop these thoughts in their head and something in their soul has turned dark and ugly. Is it too late? Maybe you can get through to them… if not, are you ready to draw your sword?

2. Possession. Even the smallest trace of doubt can attract them— evil spirits. Once the dark spirit has latched on to your soul, it takes over and consumes you. Maybe the possession is gradual or maybe it happens suddenly. All you know is that everyone has regrets and anyone can doubt… this could happen to anyone.

3. In a moment. You've been assigned on a mission. It's nothing surprising but this is one that hits a little closer to the heart and not in a good way. It's natural to wonder what you would do if you could go back in time and change a certain thing. But right now, it's actually in your power to make it happen. Can you do it? And if you do, can you deal with the consequences?

4. Becoming your own enemy. Your mission is to go back in time and let things happen as they were meant to be but their fall into despair was never supposed to happen, right? And so you went back in time to prevent their misfortunes but you keep failing again and again until, this time, you think you’ve got it. This time, you’ll be able to save your friend - but will you be able to save yourself too?

5. Reborn again. When destroyed in battle, the sword disappears only to return again anew. You can’t choose the fate you’re born with though and this time, someone has returned… on the wrong side.

6. The other side. But there are three sides to this war, aren't there? You are the third side: the Kebiishi. This army thinks they're preserving history but you know better, don't you? It's not their fault... the only history they know is the history they ruined. The saniwa's army doesn't know how to stop and that's why it's up to you to put an end to them.

7. Actually not so innocent. You don't even realize you're doing it. You go to sleep, you black out, and the next thing you know, there's blood on your sword. But from what? How? Did you do it? You don't... remember doing this but everyone is saying you did something wrong. But you're innocent! You swear!

8. The cure is ineffective. They saved you. You'd turned on them before and you were forced to commit grave sins against your will but they saved you. They stopped you. Your soul was purified by the saniwa sage. Did it hurt? Maybe you remember. Maybe you don't. But all that matters you thought you were saved... until it became clear that you weren't. You're living on borrowed time. You're a ticking time bomb. Are you ready for part two?

9. Wildcard. Bring the pain. Make your own/mix and match.

[Chougi almost called him "Kunihiro". It would normally make him happy. It's acknowledge from Chougi, his important original.

'He's trying to lower your guard. Strike him down.'

But he pushes back harder, striking at Chougi with increasingly stronger blows. Behind Chougi, one of their teammates shout that they need to retreat.]

Yaman... bagiri... I-I'm not a fake! Stop calling me that! Stop...!

[Yamanbagiri Kunihiro have always been strong, but also controlled. Right now, his movements are wild and reckless, pushing against Chougi more and more.]

Stop... me...

[For a moment, his voice drops into a shaken whisper and sounds like he's pleading. Before he deliver another strong strike against Chougi, the strange hunger is back in his eyes again.]

[ This isn't right. Chougi may not know what's come over Yamanbagiri but he'd have to be the least observant sword in the world to not see the conflict happening. Something's got control of him, that's obvious enough. He's wild, unpredictable, and Chougi is barely able to counter each strike in time. He's being pushed back too far. ]

I don't know what you want me to do!

[ He's never encountered something like this before. He's not a spiritual sword like Ishikirimaru, he wouldn't know how to purify something if he was led through the process. And the middle of a fight isn't the best time to learn.

Their swords ring against each other and Chougi winces. They're going to end up damaged at this rate. ]

Stop fighting me, you idiot!

[At this rate, they will get damaged. Normally, he doesn't mind getting dirty and tagged from battle. But not like this, turning his blade against his comrades.]

Stop...! I'm not a fake. I'm not a fake, Yamanbagiri Chougi!

[Chougi haven't utter that word yet, but it seems like Yamanbagiri is hearing it from somewhere else. His blows are hard and relentless, until he suddenly hesitate for brief moment.

The look in his eyes are changing between hunger and pleading.]

I want you-it... Stop me...

[ No. No, no, no, absolutely not, this is completely wrong. There's clearly something wrong with Yamanbagiri, like he's been possessed or is being corrupted, Chougi doesn't know which it is and it doesn't really matter. It's all he can do to defend himself until that sudden hesitation...at least that's proof there's still a shred of sanity in there somewhere. ]

You can stop yourself, can't you? Your self control is better than this!

[ He can only think of one way to stop another sword, and it isn't a good one.

As much as he often loathes his replica, the thought of stopping him, stopping the corruption eating at him, by breaking him is...

It's unthinkable. ]

[There's something definitely wrong with Yamanbagiri Kunihiro, and he wants this to stop. Stop before he went too far, or do something even more regrettable than attacking their captain.]

I'm-I'm trying.

[His stance is shaky, from trying to resist whatever's causing him to act like this.]

But-But still! Stop me!

[He manage to say, before he scream as he charges right at Chougi with his sword ready.]
