The Carriage would pull up the Doors of the Scarlet Devil Mansion to a halt as several other servants came fluttering out of the doors "Welcome home Mistress Izayoi...I see you brought home Miss Flandre and a friend home. How lovely" One of the fairy servants said as Sakuya smiled at them

"Yes I Have...please see to it that the room is prepared for the child here and please inform Miss Remilia that I have arrived" She said as the servants nodded and flew off back into the house, allowing the three of them to enter the grand foyer of the Mansion "Welcome child...to your new home" she said and set the two children down "Wait here for Remilia to arrive"

Hitomi Akumu pokes head in and grins manically.

Viewing each of the people in turn she would smirk and sense their elixer, their nectar within. Especially that of the youngest member of this happy family, oh so much delicious cocktails within her eyes, and something even more delectable. Laughing she would vanish and whisper in the wind, "Alone... so alone... they all hate... they all laugh... alone... look at you... so alone... alone... little Flandre all alone. No one else is here, you are dreaming these people, you are imagining them, you will always be alone."

Flandre's eyes widened, her knees giving out as if something dragged her down, her eyes wide as she was gripping her head. What was this?! This voice! It told her things...things..things...was she alone?! Who was this..why? WHY?! What. What?! WHO?! She'd grit her teeth, nearly screaming. "WHOEVER YOU ARE! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"

Elisia looked towards Flandre as she grabbed her head. What was she doing? Something must be wrong... Very wrong. She slowly moved towards Flandre. " Are you okay? " She then said before taking a step back as Flandre shouted. Someone was in her head? What and who? " Somethings in your head? " She then said while moving closer to Flandre.

As Flandre screamed, Sakuya looked around while whippng her hair around "Shit" She said and whistled loudly, so loud it was almost ear piercing. Literally, every single servant fluttered to Sakuya in worry and panic for they too heard the screams

"Seal the Mansion, move to block all the Auras around this place. Set up shields and help to defend the Mansion. I shall fetch Remilia..." She said as the Servants went to set up their tasks. Immediately, a powerful spell was cast around the House, a Dome in shape by an unknown force who lay on the Mansion's Roof.

Sakuya looked around quickly and called out "Remilia...Flandre needs your help!!" She yelled, trying to find her while from above, a devilish grin and a flurry of tails swayed too and fro as if waiting for whatever may have come. It smelled a challenge, it couldnt resist and it was hungry

Replying in Elisia head she would say, "How can you be sure... how can you know... how can you perceive this is all reality? How can you think that you are even here, maybe you are on a sedative in an asylum, strapped down. Can you not hear the mad laughter echoing off the wall, the foot-steps of the doctors making their rounds? But what is this, look at what we got here, they are discussing lobotomies, since you are so beyond help, maybe you can wake up and stop it now." she would force the images vivid into the Elisia mind to get her to perceive an alternate reality, the reality she was trying to trap her into.

Elisia gasped as the voice suddenly spoke into her head. Who... what...? This was... Fake...? No, she didnt want it to be fake... It must be real. She wanted it to be real. They cared for her and are giving her a home... It isnt fake... She isnt mad... She isnt crazy... She simply watched the images, not moving. No... She wasnt mad... She wasnt... She wasnt... She finaly had found her place. After so much time she had found it. It wasnt going to be taken away by a voice... or images. No, this was real... She was here.

Elisia found place and wasnt mad. " I'm not mad! " She then shouted while sinking to her knees. Her hands moved to her head, grabbing her own hair in a very harsh manner, almost pulling it out. The doctors had to leave her alone, she wasnt crazy. She was normal... with these people she was. She wasnt crazy! Those doctors were mad, not her. They were crazy. She was normal.... She was Elisia.... And Elisia wasnt normal... So she wasnt normal... So the voice was right.... She wasnt normal, but crazy. Everyone in her life had told her that.... It was true....

Sakuya began to enrage as she yelled at the top of her lungs "Remilia Scarlet get to the Foyer this instant!! I need your help!!" She exclaimed as hard as she could before running back and seeing Elisa pulling on her hair and yelling while quickly rushing to them and grabbed them both in hugs while shhing them softly "Its okay...Its okay" She said

Meanwhile, the being on the roof sniffed loudly with a harsh sigh "Fear...the air is ripe with it. The stench would please me if it were not caused by me" She said and let loose a rather loud howl, sending creatures of all kinds running away as fast as she could "Show yourself to me...I wish to know who inspires so much Chaos..."

She would enter now into the mind of maid, "Does she truly love you, or is it lust... do you honestly think she would like a petty servant, look at you, a maid, not even worth her eyes, you truly believe you have her. In truth you know you are a roll in the hay Sakuya, a roll in the hay and that is all you will ever be. Really, you think you are worthy of her, you are only still employed because she likes your pussy." laughing she would echo in all their heads and then speak still invisible, "I am the truth you all lie."

The Maid would look around as the words entered her mind, looking away for a moment to compose herself she looked around more "I do not have her...she has me. She always has and always will. It is not lust that drives her, only Compassion. You are not but a figment of something long since forgotten..." She said in a calm voice, though her heart was still pounding from the Doubt that was now placed within her heart. She would have to speak to Remilia after this

Meanwhile the Chaos above the House growled loudly which sounded akin to a crash of Thunder hitting the sky as she looked around "BY the God of Gods, the Lord of Chaos I demand to see your physical Manifestation this instant!"

Laughing she would appear in human illusion blonde haired girl with red eyes, smirking she would say, "Why you only needed to ask, "It seems so pathetic you could all be crushed by your fears, I am unending and neverending I will exist until the end of time, until man's last breath. You all tremble in doubt, but hark now and hear well, we are many, we are everlasting, we are the darker emotions you hide in terror, I am but one." with that she would point to a fairy maid and suddenly the girl would be dancing in pirouette, round and around.

The Maid stood protectively infront of the children and glared knives at this Illusion, shaking slightly from the combination of Fear and Doubt "Your nothing!" She yelled, obviously too stubborn to fear as the doorway creaked slowly with a hand of white and black sludge opened the door with a crack of lightning streaking behind her. A woman of the purest white stood in the door with a hand on a whip coated in the same black sludge as her hands and claws, her hair dripping with the same sludge onto the ground. Her eyes pulsated red, glowing behind the darkened background

"There you are...I see you" She said and whipped her whip backwards "Come play with me...they arent worth the fun of torturing. I have no fear.."

Elisia didnt calm at the embrace of the maid. " Get away from me! " She simply shouted while crawling away from the woman, or doctor. She wasnt real, the doctor was fake. The woman was fake... Wait, no the doctor was... but the woman was the doctor... which ment that she was fake. She only stressed more as the voice laughed into her head. " Stop it! " She would then shout while putting her hands back on her head. This time it she pushed the sides of her head, attempting to stop the voice. It would probably not work. " Your a lie! " She would then shout through the mansion. The doctors needed to go away from her... She couldnt go away... She was trapped, chained and strapped down. Trapped... Lured and trapped in this place. Taken away and declared mad. They lied... everyone lied... and told the truth...

The doctors walked to her... They offered help. They said they would help her and understand her. It were lies. They declared her mad and sended her to the white room. There only was a bed in it.... nothing else. The room didnt have an end or begining. She was sleepy so decided to sleep in the bed. It was the only thing she could do... But when she woke up... She was lying in the bad, strapped to it. All around her were doctors, laughing at her. They said she was crazy and insane... there were more then only doctors... Also other people. Her parents. The people she met at the bar... The girl and the maid. Everyone she knew was there... laughing at her. Her parents, the girl and the maid and the people from the bar didnt laugh though. They looked terrified. Scared by her. Disgusted by her. And then they left... Leaving her trapped on the bed in the white room. Only the doctors stayed. Laughing at her while injecting her with needles and poking her with sharp things... She didnt feel pain though and that was what made her crazy. She was always seen as crazy... Insane....

Smelling someone been caught she said in reply, "I believe you are too late as for dealing with you, I have no need although interesting you seem to know whom I am, considering how young you are, but I don't ever judge a book by it's cover. Although I do send people into permanent sleeps... So what will it be, save her or fight me, because I need only vanish and lock her into the nightmare, but you need to go there and do it. Do you truly wish to have this on your hands, you may be chaos, but I am primeval in my existence. Make your choice, and if you try anything, I shall just vanish."

The woman with the whip tsked loudly three times slowly as a sinister grin lite up her face "Its obvious what you are...I can smell it on the air. The humans are ripe with it and it is obvious who created it. I am here for a challenge...and a duel but not tonight. I wished to greet the one who caused such Chaos on the world in good faith. I am Corruption at it's core, the power to turn Saints into the deepest of Sin. You are Fear...and a part of Chaos. I respect that" She said as she looked at the child and the Maid

"They mean nothing to me...the child even less. It would do her good to be caught in Fear...let it sink in. She is not the reason I have revealed my face this night. It is to deliver a Warning and a Challenge. In three days, I wish to see who is superior: Fear or Corruption within the Asteroid outside this planet's reach. I shall see who is stronger..." She said and vanished in a puff of smoke, leaving the Maid absolutely terrified

Her only help had just vanished as she sunk to her knees "She left us......"

Interesting, but well she would need to see whether she wished to show up, as for the rest of them, she would say, "I am feeling generous if you can wake her up before I slowly walk to the room, then I will not trap her forever, best hurry little girl, best hurry indeed the weak ones always fall first." with that she take one step, slowly, then another, just spending her sweet time to move even a foot.

The maid crawled to the girl and shook her hard while starting to cry as all of her composure went out the window with Corruption leaving "Elisia...wake up. Its not real...focus on my voice. Focus on my eyes. Feel the compassion, feel the caring and the love. Come on sweetheart...come back. Its not real" She said and pulled the girl into her for a tight hug

"The pain isnt real...focus on the lack of pain. You know it's fake..you know its all just fear. You can do this...come back and open your eyes"

Elisia simply lied on the floor, not moving. She stared into the ceiling of the mansion, not doing a thing. Her eyes were wide open. She was in some sort of sleep... She was being held in another reality or something..... Whatever it was, it wasnt good.

Elisia woke up, still being in the white room. She was lying on the bed, but wasnt strapped down anymore. She was free.... She slowly moved out of the bed and moved to her feet. The room was almost empty... except for a little girl standing not too far from her. She slowly aproached the girl. The girl was wearing a yellow dress. Elisia was currently wearing her normal white dress... But it was stained in blood. " Hello? " She then said to the girl. The girl then turned around and looked at Elisia with wide eyes. " B... B.. Blood... " She said while taking a step back. Elisia was simply shocked at the reaction of the girl. The girl then turned around, before starting to run away from Elisia... towards the un-ending white. " No... Wait! " She then said while starting to run after the girl. She was stopped though, by one of the doctors. They held her back, before pushing her to the ground. " Freak. " The doctor then spat at her. Elisia simply cried as she was taken back to the bed by the other doctors.... Then suddenly one of the doctors grabbed her arm. It was a woman. She pulled her out of the group and hugged her. Elisia didnt know how to react to this. The woman simply held her in her arms as the other doctors just stood and watched. The woman whispered thing to Elisia... Calming words... Soothing words... Love... Pain... Fake... Fear...

Back in the mansion, Elisia would simply start to softly cry.

Moving a few more feet she would laugh whispering in Sakayu head, "You truly think she cares, look at yourself can't even handle things, just a roll in the hay, a roll in the hay. It will pass, it will all past and you be dumped in Wing City and left alone." laughing she would say out loud, "I find this all rather amusing, my first attack and already people are running about like headless chickens."

Sakuya just held the girl while sobbing herself as her doubts began to claw at her heart as Remilia still had not come to her call. She felt betrayed, hurt and honestly terrified by this as she looked into Elisia's eyes, stroking her bangs with her finger

"Elisia...look into my eyes. Look at me...I love you Elisia. I am your Mother...I am your Sister...and Im here for you...look into my eyes and know its the truth"

She said while half of it was through sobs as the images formed into her mind, Remilia throwing her out of the Mansion, laughing in her face with those horrible eyes. Her wandering cold and alone with a large belly. The cold surfaced in her mind as she huddled weeping in the alleyway and begging for a job or some change. She just sobbed even harder while trying to shake Elisia awake "Come on....please dont leave me alone...dont go" She said and put her head onto the girl's chest and cried

The fluttering of a familiar set of bat like wings would be heard, Remilia Scarlet coming down to the group, her fists clenched and shaking, her eyes furious as she looked around. She was trying to get there as fast as she could. But alas, she couldn't teleport at all. The best chance she had was flight, and even then, she was weak in the wings at times.

Gripping the spear de Gungnir in her right hand, she looked at Sakuya, watching her with the girl in her arms, frowning. "Sakuya...I...I'm sorry I'm late..this'll be the first and last time I arrive late on the scene." Saying this, she looked around for the opponent, eyes trailing the area, her spear propped up, ready to throw like a javelin. She was pissed off beyond belief. Nobody does this to her girlfriend. Not ever. And her sister too? This being had a death wish. And Remilia Scarlet planned on granting it to them with all her might.

Continuing to move slowly she would turn and say, "The final piece comes, but I wonder is she the White Knight you all desire." laughing in her cruel way, she would speak in Remilia Head, "So much responsibility so much work, and do they appreciate it, no. They use you, you all the work, they expect you to wipe their asses, and don't even thank you. Why help them, they use you, everyone uses you."

Elisia simply stared towards the ceiling, not moving. There were tears flowing down her cheeks. She was terrified, ashamed, guilty and betrayed. She couldnt take it anymore, but couldnt stop it. Not on her own.

Elisia simply started to sob as the doctor embraced her. The woman stroke her bangs and she simply looked into the eyes of the woman as she did so. The woman spoke to her.... It soothed her, calmed her and hurt her. The words were lies... they were lies... there was no other possibility. Everyone had lied to her, this woman wouldnt be different. The doctors then separated the two from each other. Elisia didnt want to though, she tried to stay with the woman, keep herself from being alone again. She tried to grab the woman, but she was already out of her reach. The woman then shouted something at her. " Dont leave me alone... " Those were the words of the female doctor... All of the doctors suddenly stopped as Elisia simply stopped resisting to think. Those words made her thing alot. She wasnt the one needing help, the woman was. She was helping the woman... and the woman would help her. She then slowly walked past the doctors, towards the woman. She looked at her as she did this, before she faded away. Everything around her faded.... The white room, the bed and even the doctors. Everything dissapeared except the woman. The woman... The maid.

Elisia looked at Sakuya as her vision returned. She wasnt left alone, no the woman was there.... All that time she was there, watching her. She slowly reached for the womans head as she layed it on her chest. She simply watched the woman.

Sakuya felt the hand on her head as she cried even harder into the girl's chest, reaching around her to pull her into another weak hug as she cried "Elisia dont leave me alone...Im all alone and scared. Im so cold...." She wailed, trying to cling to sanity while the images kept on coming. The cold winter sky above Wing City...the Maid pregnant in tattered clothes and begging for change in the streets. The feeling of being hungry and cold....the frigid air on her body. The only constant was the little girl she had adopted whom she held as if her life depended on it

"Im so cold...Im so hungryyy....Remilia left me to die!!" She yelled in pain and anguish as she held the girl tightly and kissed her cheek over and over again with red eyes

Remilia's eyes trailed over to Sakuya. Her scarlet red eyes twitched, gritting her teeth. "..This..this is...unforgivable.." She'd look over to where she heard the voice, growling. "I know, I do have so much responsibility and work. Sure, I wipe their asses over and over again, but this was my choice!" She'd growl, shaking her head. "I could easily back out, but no, this was my choice, mine! MINE! And if I had complaints..I would have backed out."

Her mind was not responding with her words. She did not realize her sense of doubt, and right now, she was not listening to her mind. Gripping the spear tightly, she'd throw it at where she heard the voice, growling, her eyes starting to glow slightly from her destructive energy pulsating within her. Unlike Flandre, Remilia is sane.

Elisia didnt know what to do. What was happening... Why was the maid crying? It was all very confusing to her. She hugged the woman back, trying to comfort her. Elisia wouldnt leave her alone... not after what she had done. " I wont leave you... " She then said to the woman. She didnt know what to do. Comforting people wasnt really something she was good at.

" She didnt leave you... Nobody did. Its all lie. I'm here, she's here, we are all here. Your not alone. " She then said to the woman, before looking into the room. What exactly had happened? She honestly didnt know. She looked suprised at woman as she kissed her cheek over and over. " It's okay... We didnt leave you. " She then added. She wasnt very good at the whole soothing thing, but she had to try something.

Moving five feet, mere foot away from them both, she would chuckle and say, "Hard lines little girl, I hunger and I have banquet to feast on, think you can stop me before I trap them all in their fears, Sakuya alone in the street, beaten and bruised. While Elisia will be forever trapped in an asylum, this was too easy but I sense some interesting force, I wish to see it, care to reveal thy self?"

An unnatural dark fog took form along the surface of the ground. It grew, swirled, churned, and molded into a pillar of smoke that hovered several feet from the floor. Slowly the pillar solidified and sprouted tendrils that writhed through the air. Dark limbs and wings molded themselves from them. They hung loosely yet sternly beside the body that now hovered above the ground. Enormous feathered wings, black as night, extended behind the living shadow. The being’s form and size was similar to that of a man, but it bore no discernible facial features besides two glowing purple orbs that marked its eyes. Its surface seemed to swirl with dark energies, and the face was shapeless and ever-changing. Two gnarled curled horns extended from its forehead.

"It has been a long time, Akumu." echoed the being's disembodied voice.

Sakuya just kept crying despite hearing these words...most did not get through to her and, in her mind, Elisia faded from view, away from her arms as Sakuya was alone in the alleyway and her head in her knees. In both the Dream and in the Reality she slipped a hand into her dress and pulled out one of her blades "Im alone...nobody wants me. Everyone hates me...and uses me for my body. Nobody cares.....why should I?" She said with a sob

Despite all the little girl's loving efforts, she would pull away her arm and begin to cut into her own flesh an A....then an L....then an O.....then an N...and then finally an E over and over in big letters, the pain confirming the dream as blood dripped down her exposed arm

"Im alone....." She said and drove the dagger straight into her stomach and fell over in pain and agony

Turning she would smirk and bow gracefully, "Why look what the cat dragged in, am I graced by such a presence for any discernible reason or you merely wish to see these three minds destroyed." turning she would roll her eyes, "Whatever happened to simple things Erebuz look at them, all so theatrical, like they believe they matter when you and I know they will never matter, you will destroy and I will cause divide, we are everlasting and shall be there when the whole cycle ends, all of us, including my companions."

Elisia watched as the woman spoke. " Your not! " She then almost shouted at the woman. " Dont leave us! " She then added as the woman took out the knife. She simply watched as the woman cut the letters. " Dont... " She then said very softly. She swallowed as the she finaly realised what the woman had writen. She then saw that the woman was aiming to stab her own stumach. " Stop! " She then shouted, while attempting to grab the dagger by the blade, intending on stopping the woman. She didnt know what to say.... " Sorry.. " She would then say very softly. Tears started to form in her eyes again. She didnt understand it. It was just... so strange.

Remilia's eyes flashed for a moment. The lingering smell of blood was distinct..and she could tell who's blood it was. Seeing Sakuya in this state, if a blood vessel in her head could pop, it would have. Her eyes widened, as the eyebrows went down even more, the pupils becoming smaller as she began rushing over. She wasn't letting this happen! This was not being taking this any further!!

As she rushed over, she looked at Elisia, grunting. Taking out a vile, she'd open the contents, deciding that at this point, they'd have to take drastic measures. Grabbing Flandre, and beckoning Elisia to come over, she'd tap the contents of the vile onto the ground. She was guaranteed to get Flandre and Sakuya, due to them being right in the middle of the portal, and she tried to pull Elisia with them. Since she was in front of Sakuya, she hoped that would work.

Though the dagger was grabbed by the blade, it did nothing to stop Sakuya from stabbing it into her own stomach to which she did it again, and again and again "Get it out of me!!" She screamed just as the portal was made and was pulled into it, her body oozing blood

The Emperor looked down at Hitomi. His avatar had changed subtly from its usual form. Its limbs were thicker and more defined. Ebony wicked claws extended from long fingers. Despite his appearance becoming more visible, there was yet an impenetrable aura of utter darkness that cloaked him.

"I see you have been stretching your legs since our parole." he replied. The being's voice resonated with the echo of countless souls screaming in agony across the Void.

She would laugh and say, "Why yes, who should I thank for this honor, I actually like being able to cause chaos once more, in the fragile weak minds of them all." watching as they all left, she would shrug, "Maybe I was just playing, after all how many years has it been 50,000 I do believe, I like they pathetic morsels to remember whom owns this world and will until it's destroyed, then back around we go. I destroy minds, you destroy existence, it's a fun cycle."

Elisia watched as the woman kept holding the blade of the dagger. She didnt let go, even when the woman stabbed it into her stumach. She tried to stop her, by pulling it away. It didnt work very effective though. She then noticed the strange portal forming. She had no idea what it was. She wasnt going to question it though. The maid needed to stop this madness. " Please... " She then almost whispered at the woman. She didnt know what to do... Luckily the portal pulled her and the maid into it. Which was a good thing since it stopped her. She didnt know where the thing would lead here, but anywere away from the mansion would be good.

"It is certainly a boon if one enjoys their purpose in the Grand Design. However, it is disappointing that I am but a fraction of what I once was. I rule the All Consuming Darkness, but the Unweaving is near lost to me." Erebuz said before stretching out a clawed hand towards a vase. An intricate rune illuminated across his hand and reclected across the object. It exploded in a shower of sandy dust that vanished in the breeze. The particles, however, were still there - bound by the laws of Existence. "I have yet to discover where He hid it, but even if it takes a hundred million trillion centuries... I will reclaim what was stolen from me."

"Oh I am certain you will, but I am not the only one whom free, the other two are as well, before the darkness takes over, the essences shall rise and with it the living embodiments of those emotions, we are everlasting, Hate and Temptation and with this mankind will rue their ignorance their failings. They will soon understand who truly is the force that controls all, a cycle a promise, we will come always and forever. Just need to wait and let loose it all."

"I am already conducting the process to destroy my prison..." he stated. "In three days time, I will craft a modified version of the Rune of Sundering and direct the combined might of this world's ley lines onto my encased throne. Then I will make my destructive presence known to these trivial nonentities. They will remember TRUE destruction and gaze into the deepest trench of the Abyss!"

She would clap, "I imagine you have learnt from last time, how mortals can gather force to trap you, I suggest as your equal we don't shout or scream, play like I am, creating the fear touching it and then forcing them to live it. That way I guarantee a win, they are just fortunate I distracted by you otherwise I would have feasted on them all, while they drowned in it all."

"I have already taken preparations for a longer drawn campaign. My puppets are unaware of their true master, and their fingers run deeply into this realm's infrastructure. Over time I will corrupt their hearts and souls. They will willingly walk to their dooms. Through division, their empires will crumble into oblivion."

Nodding she would laugh and say, "I am glad you seem to understand how to learn from mistakes, but well as the case is this I assume you wish for my sister, brother and I to begin plaguing them fools and stir things up in a huge mess, maybe drive them into a huge mess of epic proportion. But one thing for sure this should be delicious, truly delicious."

"Yes..." he confirmed. "We will bring a dark era to the Realm of Man. Darkness will rule, seas shall be scorched, and rivers shall run red with the blood of their offspring. Despair shall blot out the sun and Hate will choke the air from their gore-curdled throats."

"Ah, you never tire of the theatrics do you?" she would smile coyly and continue, "Ah dear brother, why can't you just be subtle, fear is after all better when exploited in quiet, not in loud obtrusive noises."

"Utter Destruction is best served in bulk." Erebuz sneered. "Like a well executed orchestra, it rises from the shadows into a fearsome climactic peak that penetrates the soul."

She would be surprised on how long he has worked from behind the scenes. This path of destruction would not be the ultimate end of this world. It was simply an awakening.

Shrugging she would reply, "Well maybe you have finally learned dear brother, maybe you have learned, and long may it seem so, for this cycle is long overdue indeed and it's time they all witnessed true embodiment's of the emotions they keep locked tight. They grown complacent and forgotten how these rule them and always shall, thus the cycle is and thus it shall always be."

"For too long they have hidden themselves between falsities and secrets. Now they will know the consequence of their actions and words." he uttered before the ground beneath him ignited in black flames. "Now if you will excuse me, I have more preparations to make. Two of the altars have been established. Only one remains."
