D2: My Way (Character Scenarios)

(Takes place during Beloved Knight, Steadfast Seraph, and Infernal Fate)

Why me?

Gate stares at himself in the mirror, adjusting his cape to be even on each shoulder.

I'm going up again.

He walks down the narrow hallway slowly, the sound of his boots echoing. He was alive, coming back almost too much, just like his father.

"Go..good morning sir." The Keeper of the small motel salutes him.

"I'm not up there yet, save it."

They shake hands.

"A legend is still a legend, even after time forgets about him." The Keeper replies.

The words hit hard for Gate. He wonders how many people have forgotten about him. It really hasn't been that long, only a year and a half or so. He didn't care about time anymore. Everyday is his last day.

He steps out onto the street, the sun smiling on his armor. Looking up at the Traveler, he smiles at it, and begins walking towards the Tower, to make his "grand entrance".

The closer he got to the major Security Hub to the Tower, his chest felt tighter and tighter.

"You don't say..." Camille hides her boredom behind her visor.

"It's true...and next thing I knew, he was on the ground." The security guard across the room from her spoke loudly and annoyingly. You know the type.

"Isn't this just the same story you've told me three other times?"

"No...I guess it does sound like it huh."

Camille looks back, slowly nodding her head.

"Captain." Flares walks into the office.

Camille sighs of relief. "Yes?"

"We stopped a Hunter at the gate, he doesn't have an ID."

"So?"

"He's carrying the Ace of Spades hand cannon."

Camille stands up quickly.

"Finally, something interesting." They both walk outside and towards the gate.

She pushes past the multiple guards and gets face to face with Gate.

"Who the hell are you?" He asks.

"I'm not from around here, who are you?"

Gate growls, holding Ace of Spades up above his head.

"Do none of you know me?!"

"Don't be so ambitious, what's your name?"

"Gate-4."

Everyone there went silent.

"Who?" Camille asks.

"You definitely not from around here, let me in."

The guards all move out of his way.

"Woah woah woah, stop." Camille raises his voice.

Gate stops and looks back at her.

"Why?"

"I don't care who you are, you don't have clearance."

"I'm a Guardian."

"Then let's see your Ghost."

Gate sighs. She really doesn't know him after all.

"It's dead?"

Gate turns back around. Camille begins to follow him into the Tower and towards the elevators leading up to it.
