Dreams of an Absolution

And every night I lay awake,
And I find no conclusion.
'Cause every night, it just stays the same
And I dream of an absolution

It started in my chest, just over my heart. It seemed like, lately, my pain all started with my heart. I fall backward, clutching my chest, trying to stop the blood streaming down my front. My hands shoot to my head. The pain inside explodes, overturning my every thought and drowning them in a sea of unrelenting agony. I gnash my teeth and bite down on my lip, biting through it and spilling blood down my face. No amount of willpower can stop me from screaming as I fall to my knees.
I collapse on the ground, screaming louder and louder. My head is tearing apart, I think, cold terror trying to find its way into my thoughts. Before I can even try to be afraid, its taken over by my pain. My throat feels like its tearing apart; every second the pressure threatens to split my head stretches the limits on just how hard I can cry. Tears pour from my eyes, but they vanish the moment they touch my skin. I'm burning up...I'm on fire!

In the nightlight, do you see what you dream?
All your troubles, are they all what they seem?
Look around you, then you may realize
All the preachers, all with their lies

The pain spreads from my head, through the rest of my body like lightning. Every inch of my skin ignites and burns. I fall, face-first, into the dirt and try with all of my might, all of my will to regain control, to take control of my own power. In response, my skins heats up even hotter, and fire begins to pour from within me. I'm engulfed in a wild fire, one that even I can't control! My skin burns and peels, stretching tighter and tighter. I can't breathe! I can't move! I can only scream and smash my face against the ground.
I can't take it anymore! I start to tear at my skin; I start to tug at my hair. My head is splitting open, my skin is tearing apart. My power, unstoppable waves of raw Chemical X, erupts from me, threatening to rip me into a thousand, a million pieces! I smash my face against the ground again and tear at the scar on my chest. I feel new, white-hot emotion flood me, echoing and supplementing the pain. Impossible anger; uncontrollable rage.

In the nightlight, do you still feel your pain?
For the valor, you wait, it never came
If you able, would you go change the past
To mend a faux pas with one last chance?

I can't stand this stupid, useless, worthless body! I won't be trapped anymore! They can't make me! I shove my mitts into the scar, tearing it open. New, untapped power pours from it and from within me. A frozen, cool black power engulfs me, mixing and churning with my own blazing pink power. I peer through my fire and stare at the haunting silhouette of the samurai. My fury grows, and my hatred overflows. New pain erupts from my back; the pain on my head intensifies. I buckle down and smash my face on the ground one last time.
Suddenly, the pressure in my head is released, while blood spills over my vision. I throw my head back and howl; the pain in my skull is growing, but the pressure is vanishing. The pain in my back is joined by a pressure like that in my head. Too soon, though, my back erupts with new agony, while the pressure vanishes. I can feel blood catching in my throat, but I can't stop screaming. I reach for my chest, digging my mitts into my own bloody cavity, and, with one last scream, my power explodes and I tear myself apart.

In the nightlight, do you see what you dream?
All your triumph and all you'll ever be
Look around you, then you may realize
Happiness lies trapped in misery

The pain is gone.
I slowly climb to my feet, sputtering and snarling. I hate him so much; I hate everything about him, everything he stands for, everything he stood for, everything he ever was. I narrow my eyes, now raging fires. Not a temporary expression of my power, no...now my brand new eyes are unleashed, scorching the very darkness of the Heart of Hatred.
I look down at my hands and a wicked grin spreads across my lips, revealing razor-sharp fangs. My hands are blacker than night. Not wrapped in black, not cloaked in darkness. No, my hands are the darkness. My pitiful, weak self is gone, this is the real me. And this time, it's no longer just my hands. No, my entire body is free. From my hands to my feet, every inch of me is pitch black, I'm sure of it. I touch my face, the last remnant of my human self. That, alone, has remained the same, as it should.
I am Blossom, I was always Blossom.
I take a deep breath and slowly let it out. The raging fire that pours from my body explodes outward with my breathing, driving back both the Samurai, and Chamberlain.

'Cause every night, I will save your life
And every night I will be with you
'Cause every night I still lay awake
And I dream, of an absolution
I narrow my eyes; my power intensifies.

I reach for the top of my head and feel them, the source of my headache. My snarl fades, once again replaced by a grin. One, two, three, four, five, six horns line my skull. I don't need a bow anymore, no. I've replaced it with a crown.
There's a new, strange sensation in my back. I look up, seeing a new appendage entirely. A pitch black, long tentacle, the length of my body. With a simple thought, it whips back and forth, flexing like a muscle. I look over my other shoulder and see another. I move this one too, as easy as either of my arms. I stretch my arms out, then stretch out their new sisters.
Six tentacles in total, each the length of my body, reach out from my back. New limbs that, for so long, had been missing. I flex and stretch each of them, one by one. Nothing had ever felt so easy, so right, so perfect. With a simple thought, one morphs, becoming a sword. Another grows claws, becoming a new hand. The third becomes an axe, the fourth, a hammer. The next turns into a sickle; and the last tentacle sharpens and becomes a spear. With another thought, they return to normal.

'Cause every night, I will make it right
And every night I will come to you
But every night it just stays the same
In my dream of an absolution

Now, for the final test.
I pull my arms, and tentacles, in tight, and begin to growl. The chamber starts to shake—the realm of Hatred begins to tremble. My growl grows louder, becoming a roar. My roar shakes the entire Underworld. I can see it in Chamberlain's eyes, he no longer questions my power. I can see it in the Samurai's eyes.
He knows who I am.
I throw my head back, and roar louder still. Rocks collapse from overhead, though they're incinerated as soon as they splash into my furious power. I begin to pull it in, taking a deep breath. Soon it's condensed around me like a miniature sun. It's so bright, I can't even see the room around me.
With one final scream, I explode, unleashing the full, hidden depths of my true power.
XxXxX
And you'll see...

The Heart of Hatred suddenly exploded, a pillar of pink and black light erupting into the sky. So bright, it made the Sea of Wrath seem dim by comparison. So loud, even the sky song went silent in its wake. In fact, the sky itself was pierced by the unstoppable surge of energy. The full might of Chemical X, of Blossom, unleashed, tore through time and space itself as a colossal tremor.
XxXxX
What you'll be...

Across the small island nation of Japan, a power surge shattered every window, blew cars off the streets, tore entire forests apart, and overloaded every electronic device. Quickly rushing out of their small house in the middle of a hidden wasteland, Baku, Ikra, and Aku Blossom stared, wide-eyed, at the ocean, watching as the massive tremor drove back the ocean itself. Baku swallowed a lump in his throat, and gestured toward the waves.
"Was that...her?" Aku Blossom asked, watching the wall of water surrounding Japan grow higher and higher, as the ocean was pushed further and further back. Ikra knelt down and wrapped her arms around the two children.
"It was...it had to be...Blossom," she whispered.
XxXxX
And you'll see...

In the city of Townsville, in the middle of a cold, silent night, a shockwave of incredible power suddenly shook the sleepy city. Street lamps flickered and shattered, car alarms went off filling the air with screeching cacophony. In the quiet suburb of Pokey Oaks, the Utonium household felt the tail end of the shockwave..
Upstairs, Bubbles whimpered and hugged Octi tighter, burying her face in his soft, warm body. Tears rolled down her cheeks, though, as no amount of snuggling with her favorite toy could relieve the pain in her stomach and the terror gripping her heart.
Buttercup sat up with a scream, sweat pouring down her face. Gasping for air, she turned and looked at her restlessly slumbering sister, thankful she hadn't woken her. She doubled over, holding her chest. Buttercup whimpered and stared at her lap. Her chest hurt so bad. Every breath she took was painful and heavy. She closed her eyes, letting a couple tears slip free.
Down the hall, in the master bedroom, the Professor was hunched over in his bathroom, throwing up. He groaned and wiped the sweat away from his brow. He pulled himself to his feet and stared in the mirror. He'd never felt so sick in his life. He doubled over, throwing up in the sink, his knees nearly giving out underneath him.
XxXxX
All you can be

The torrent of power slowly faded, dimming down to a dull roar. Blossom dropped her arms to her sides, tentacles waving freely for the first time. Her eyes, indistinguishable from the fires around her narrowed. Chamberlain dropped to his knees, unable to stop shaking. The Samurai had backed away, barely able to find the courage to stand his ground.
They both knew.
Somehow...it seemed everyone knew.

Yeah, this is my dream
And every night
And I will always dream

The real Blossom was finally free.
