STORY RELATED. During the Great Dimensional War. Shun's darkest day..( at age 20)
Just before the final confrontation with her murderous nemesis, Commander Townshend Grayson, a surprise waited idly upon the abandoned, dim lit cathedral's altar.. Corpses and withering lives blooded round the steps and rows. All prepared, for her dearest daughter. A most terrifying reunion..
"When was the last time we played together, cherry blossom?"
Was it the REAL Izumi Shouhei? Wasn't she.. DEAD? Or, did T. Grayson accomplish his mission during that fateful day (The murder)? Either way, Shun longed for that sweet motherly embrace again, hoping to the high heavens this COULD be real.. But no. A definite NO- Her mother stands before her as a cloned killing machine. A special gift/ trap from Townshend himself, to his favorite pray (Shun). Mental Grinder (T. Grayson) strikes once again..
-A red rose among a pile of cold, tattered flesh and puddles of blood?-
That Final Battle HAD to commence whether she wanted to fight her own mother, or not. A most cruel fate: "Spent your life drudging over all that training, so as to gain the power to overcome any obstacle." "That of which you lost and loved SO dearly is now your most formidable 'threat'." "You were supposed to have the strength to 'protect' her, no?... Now, you must use it to KILL her, as I have! "Are you strong enough? Or, STILL too weak?.." -Commander Townshend Grayson-
Terror, confusion, longing, love, horror, motivation, past, present, sadness, mourning, loss, lies, truth, fear, death, life, and despair... Shun's world rapidly spins in a most cruel battle to come...

I don't usually post dark stuff like this, but it gives further depth into the story of Shun and Xave before things got brighter. -u-;; I just added a little more.
