If you ever had a good look at Avarna you would claim his skin to be flawless and perfect, and you would be right. Avarna's skin is without a single blemish, scar, or even a strand of needless flesh or hair. It's as smooth as baby's skin, and as clear as a pool of freshly drawn water. Though this doesn't mean people haven't tried to mark on his beautiful skin in the past...

| Physical Description |"Excuse me. I don't feel well."
It would be an understatement to call Avarna just another pretty face, since he is unmistakably beautiful. It isn't rare for Avarna to be thought of as a woman, by people, random bystanders on the streets, or anyone else for that matter. Unlike most man, Avarna is constantly told he is beautiful or lovely instead of what other man would hear: Handsome. He has short curly white hair that is rather messy; never seeming to have a set side to where it curves.

He has thin pink lips which always seem to be formed into a mysterious smile. His skin supports his frail body, being a light pale shade closely resembling snow, this is due to the fact he doesn't go out in the sun, and always carries an umbrella to shade. He is in a sense weaker than the other Primes, not because he can't fight, but because his body can only go so far before it "stops". When looking closely you are able to see that he lacks size only weighing 126lbs, this is due to the stress he has gained from past events and over the years of his life. Not to mention the major health problem he suffers from on a daily basis.

He has a rather average appearance, standing at about 5 foot 7 inches, that many people find attractive at first sight. Avarna carries himself in such a way, you could only guess he is from some well-breed family, making every action and word he says precise, polite, and elegant. His clothing consist of a red and black striped shirt with a frilled undershirt, along with matching shoes and black pants.

Avarna's most unnatural feature is his Cyan eyes, which hold a mysterious and foreboding feel to them. People call them his good luck charm, because that is the first thing people see when looking at him, and eight out of ten times they are the reason most people are attracted to him. But to Avarna he isn't proud of them, in fact he hates them with a passion. Though you would never notice this fact since it is rare to see Avarna disgusted since his facial expressions and eyes always remain the same, mysterious and unreadable. Still he is thankful for the fact that his white eyelashes go around his eyes, making it impossible to see his eyes from afar. Still a consequence for this is that he adapted a horrible squinting problem, which gives him an appearance of being mental and physical exhausted.

| Strengths |
✔ Speed || Even though Ava doesn't have the greatest health, he is amazingly fast. Being able to avoid multiple of bullets, because of his amazing speed.

✔ Agility ||He is very agile, after countless attacks from his daily training. Ken is an excellent runner, stating that he is the fastest person among the children in the kingdom.

✔ Balance || He proves to be quite steady and flexible on his feet and hands, able to walk, on either his hands or feet, across a tightrope hanging over a deep pit without any trace of fear in his movement.

✔ Stealth || It is known that Ava seems to have no presence, being able to walk past a whole system without being noticed. Probably because of no one knowing who he is, he has made sure to keep his presence unknown by others. Though there are times when others due notice his presence.

✔ Strength || Despite his small size, Ava is very strong. He's able to attack and subdue opponents larger than himself, and easily break the arm of a thief who intrudes in his "sanctuary".

✔ Enhanced Durability || Despite his weak appearance, Ava has shown himself to be a resilient fighter. Being able to fight for a long period of time without breaking a sweat.

✔ Keen Intellect || Ava is gifted with great insight and understanding of situations at hand. With his calm and collected nature, Ava is highly perceptive and analytic, easily deducing the basic idea of his opponent's skills to figure out their strengths and weaknesses.

✔ Hand to Hand Combatant || Avarna is able to use hand to hand combat whenever needed, though he tries to avoid it since he hates fighting with his hands. And this seems to exhaust him more than anything physically.

✔ Acting || This doesn't mean he "Lies", he is just able to put up a smile and kind behavior in front of the most difficult of people.

✔ Composure || This is Ava's greatest weapon, his composure. He is able to keep it neutral and in tact in almost all events, even during life threatening moments.

❝On the inside❞



Image
Image
Image
Image
| Weapon(s) |"I'm not a fan of violence...but I'm not afraid of killing you if you get in my way."
Koto Strings' || Ava's main weapon are white Koto Strings'. He uses them in battle; it can be used to affect a persons facial feature and is extremely sharp and can even tear up solid earth, bones, skin, muscles and sometimes steel based on the vibrations of the finger; the strings also have other uses such as listening in on distant conversations. They are highly durable and can be used for rappelling, manipulating weapons, or to bind and restrict the movements of an opponent or in setting traps.

Two Bells || The Koto Strings' are stored in a pair of white bells tied to the left side of his sleeve. He wields the bells among his left fingers and manipulate them with his right—a task usually linked with the less dominant hand. Though Ava display's them more as an accessory than a weapon, so people think lightly of them. They usual produce a soft humming sound, almost like a flute, which rings whenever Ava moves. So you could hear Ava from a good distance, because of the bells.


| Powers |"Would you like me guess what you are feeling right now?"
Empathy || Ava's main power is the power to fully interpret and replicate the emotions, moods, and temperaments of others, which is called Empathy. Ava can read and mirror the feelings of others without reading apparent symptoms, allowing him to understand introverts or discover one emotion is actually hiding another, and allowing him to sense if one is lying to him. But of course at times, when he wishes to sense if one is lying to him, it doesn't work and he is left in the dark.

Ava can attack someone in a personal and emotional way since he is able to know exactly what emotion is flowing through that person and can use this knowledge to play against them. This power allows him to sense the presence of others by sensing their emotions, but on occasions when Ava isn't paying attention he can be sneaked up on by someone, without sensing their presence. On rare occasions when Ava loses control of his composure, his powers snap and he starts to channel vast amounts of various emotions into an enemy, causing insanity or possible death due to emotional stress on the body. But this attack is not just fatal on the enemy, but on Ava himself as he can to be overcome with the emotions and destroy himself in the process.

Ava can "hear" the heightened thoughts associated with the specific emotions. This is probably do to the fact that both cortex's (emotional,and mental) so closely relate with one another. An example would be if Ava senses a couple aiming a lot of hatred towards one another. He can get the echo of thought along with that emotion e.g "I cant believe he's cheating on me after all these years". However this is not to be confused with Telepathy. Ava can only get visionary "echoes" related to certain emotions. He can not read full memories or Thoughts.

Places that have constant emotional residue(due to major events happening in that location war,death, historical moments etc.), Ava is able to tap into those emotional imprints and re-experience those emotions as if they were happening in that moment. But this can cause a great strain on Ava's body, which in the end result he will pass out from over use. And when passing out he tends to sleep for a whole day, if not a full five hours to regain his strength. Though this a very powerful power, it cause frequent headaches and constant tiredness for Ava, as sometimes his body can't handle all of the emotions.

Levitation || Ava's second ability. Ava can cause himself, subjects, or objects to hover and/or float in the air unassisted. He uses this ability to carelessly float around in the air. Sometimes when not paying attention he floats unintentionally. At times when Ava is trying to walk, but seems to be staying in the same spot despite the fact he is moving his feet, Eien has to remind Ava that he is't touching the ground. He can lift massive objects, but the bigger the object the greater the strain on his body.


| Personality |"Don't be frightened. I promise, I will give you a fair warning when I am done using you. Oh my, did you hear that~?"
If someone were to try and explain Avarna in just one word it would be sly. Other excellent words would be, calculating, determined, sometimes wicked, deceiving and most of all, clever. He thinks things through and uses his mind games to the best of his advantages, he's incredibly sneaky and can seem perfectly innocent to the point you think he is a complete airhead, until you discover his true intentions. His mind works faster than anyone could even comprehend and he uses that to his full ability. He's also very determined. Once he sets his mind to something, he will not stop until it is complete. Not until every possible option has been exhausted will he ever quit, but even then he keeps his eye on the case and waits for more development and more options. Through he is great with a calm facade, it is still a brilliant idea to watch his temper, like everyone else he has his limits that seem to be breached more than often, and that results in him having to rise his limits nearly everyday so he doesn't go off on and ruin his "mythical" existence.

Another perfect word for him would be cunning. He hold's no alliances, meaning he neither hates or likes Colours. Using his unseen face as a weapon, he will go into "enemy" territory without the knowledge of his brother or any other Prime, usually helping the Colours out whenever he gets the chance. This doesn't mean he wishes for the colours to win, but he is using them to his advantage. Preferring, rather, to play both sides, the "good" and the "bad", bouncing back and forth and pitting the two against each other to get precisely what he wants when he wants it, however when he gets a mission his simple mind games end and his more professional side is shown, this is the side Prime, more knowingly his Brother and Ven, knows, not his cunning, misleading side. Sometimes there is no real way to tell if he is on your side, while he seems to be on your side, talking and being nice, he is behind the scenes working against you, everyone around him is in his game, there is no avoiding that. The only person he is truly thoughtful too is his little brother, Eien, the man who he cherishes with all, what is left, of his heart. Though being on both sides doesn't mean he isn't loyal, as if it came to it he would choose Prime over Colour in a heartbeat. He's incredibly clever, and extremely convincing. If he's informing you of something, he may just give you a small piece of the whole puzzle and what you get is what you get. There is no reasoning with him, and if you try to persuade or "bribe" him, he'll laugh in your face. He holds no value for his own life, or the lives around him, unless the people he knows are truly important to him, he considers everyone else a piece in his chess game that life is made up of, as him, of course, at the top as King.

Whenever asked a question, unless it is the correct question, he'll answer it with another question or not at all. He is not known to lie, just to give the truth, never the whole truth though, that would ruin the game. He is fond of certain people, but not many people. Ever since the That day, he turned into a rather cold and heartless young man that holds little to no regards to the other people around them, to him they are all just tools in the grand scheme of things. While he does often act as he should, a kind, innocent, clueless, and rather helpful person. He also has another side he keeps under wraps, that would be the side of him that is fond of games and sweets, the childish side of him that was barely shown as a child because he had to grow up awfully fast. He only shows these sides around his little brother and Ven, but not with anyone else unless he grows close to them, for the most part through he tries to stay away from people, because he has no need nor desire to have bonds with someone else, to him it is a waste of time. Though you would never know this, since he always puts up a facade when in front of others, and because no one knows that he is "Clear", he can walk around outside without much attention. He is also well known in the smaller camps of colours as a regular "supporter", so be careful of this venomous flower. He is one who never shows his true emotions unless it's a knowing smile or devilish smirk, however those are the only things that can clue you into the fact that he is up no good.

【Sorane Rana・Hatsune Miku】Fall into Unseen Darkness【English Translation】
Your eyes determine on the path
In which your anguish spills over

(It's already fine, even if you don't smile, even if you don't cry)

Shivering, the childish hands woke up from their dream of dawn
You pick up the flower, trample on the gaze from your back
The forgotten voice from the death
Asks about the meaning of light
Hatred flowing
man's hands grieving

Your eyes determine on the path
In which your anguish spills over
Instantaneous life comes to an end
Stealing away breath, resounding pain
Living, living, living, he ran through
Light from the boy descends
It tears me apart

Live

(It's already fine, even if you don't smile, even if you don't cry)

One, two, increase the wounds that aren't going to vanish
You become further into the sky
Asking about the meaning of your own birth
He grew accustomed to being an outcast
He is frightened of man's hands
The forgotten voice from the death
Is fading away to oblivion

Your eyes reflect a childish dream
about which no one knows
Instantaneous life was only carving on its own anguish
Living, living, living, he ran through
Light from the boy descends
Tears are also forgotten
Sadness are poured onto his figure

Your eyes seem to give up everything
Even memories are no more to be burdened with
Even warmth from someone's hand
Returns to earth as if it has never been known
Living, living, living, he ran through
Light from the boy descends
It tears me apart

Live

Eien sat at his desk quietly listening to the rambling of some old officials, who were trying to convince the "wonders" of letting them handle the care of Seele, while he takes a break. Eien ignored every single word they spoke as he stared into space. He wasn't interested in giving these old geezers control of anything in Seele, Kano, or Alcor. Why would he anyway? He worked hard to keep these three cities the way the are, and he would rather be dead than to let them touch it.

"Head! Please at least think about this. It is for the good of the citizens." Eien felt like he was going to throw up, looking at there fake smiles. Like hell. The wind was blowing through the cracked windows, as the moon was shining down upon Eien's private office. Eien watched as the men whisper among themselves, probably about him. Eien could only laugh silently as he stared at each of their expressions. He could see some who were to afraid to even look in his general direction, so they tired to distract themselves by playing with their hands and etc. The others, just showed their hate for him openly. Glaring at him and such, but Eien didn't care, this isn't something to worry about.

As one of them were about to speak once more, there was a knock at the door, which surprised everyone even Eien. He could see the anger in the elders faces, as Eien recalled they did tell everyone in the building not to enter the room, no matter what the circumstances were. The elders cased their eyes coldly on the maid who walked in, looking as pale and horrified as humanly possible. Eien on the other hand had no expression on his face, and seemed rather smug about this whole matter.

"Didn't I tell everyone in the building, not to enter? Why are you here?" the oldest Elder said this in such a way the maid stopped half way, to afraid to come any closer. This annoyed Eien, for he couldn't stand seeing her just stand there and listening to these annoying bastards rumble on. He raised his hand and beckoned her to him. She walked quietly, passing the Elders, who seemed to be glaring holes through her whole body.

Finally she was now beside Eien. He could see her whole entire being shake from nervousness, she had her head down, not daring to look up at him, without permission. The Elder spoke up before Eien could get a single word out, "Tell the Head what you want. It better be a good or you know what will happen." At the thought the maid shivered noticeably at Eien. She stumbled on her words making them unclear and inaudible. The Elder became annoyed and started tapping his foot, "Are you some kind of mute child? What is it! Tell him, before I cut off your tongue! We have a meeting to get back too! "She jumped back and this time looked up at Eien.

She looked around once than moved toward his ear, softly whispering to him. Eien's face went from bored to cold in an instant. He nodded slowly and shooed her away. She ran at the signal, leaving the room immediately without even looking back. Eien sighed softly laying his forehead against the back of his hands. He stood up from his desk, which caused everyone to turn and face him out of curiosity. "This worthless event is dismissed. You all may leave". He said this in a flat tone and walked out the room without a single good-bye.





"Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

When the blazing sun is gone,
When there nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. "



Eien walked into a well furnished room, that was now in complete dismay. He felt queasy as the room span around him. He closed his eyes leaning against the door, refusing to move any farther after hearing That song. The room had an unwanted coldness to it, which sent shivers up Eien's spine. He slowly came away from the door, making sure not to make any noise. Each step after the other left a weird feeling inside of Eien. Leaning against a pillar, he stood in the darkness as he watched Him swing his legs back and forth as He stared up longingly at the sky. He was singing that song. Eien almost let out a laugh, as he clearly remembered this song. This was their song, him and Avarna's song. The song that "That Woman" sang when she was about to snap.





"Come here Avarna. Eien.", The woman had her hands stretched out wide with a twisted smile on her face, "Come to Mommy."

The two little boys refused to move, both covered in bruises and bleeding, the youngest cried until his lids where puffy and swollen. The oldest smiled gently at his younger brother and hugged him tightly, calming the younger boy's constant shivers. They were both hiding quietly in the bushes, praying for a miracle. The butlers and maids begged the woman to spare the children, for they didn't mean to disobey Her orders.

She looked at them with the gentlest smile possible, "I will say this only once. Where. Are. They." The people looked at each other and bowed their heads, not answering her. Trying to protect the small children's precious life. When no one answered her, she lowered her smile, "WHERE ARE MY CHILDREN! YOU WORTHLESS PIECES OF TRASH!"

They all shrunk back in fear, only one was brave and foolish enough to point to the rose bush in the far left corner. She smiled walking toward it, with eerie footsteps. She begin to sing That song, which caused the rose bush to shake. "Please...don't find us...I don't want to die." The youngest boy sobbed harshly. The oldest covered the youngest boy's mouth gently, as he warned the boy to be quiet. The song got louder until it stopped, dead silence filled the whole garden. The oldest boy knew he had to escape, he gripped his brother and scrambled out of the bushes, running as fast as he could with the younger child in his arms.

Though this was useless, as she had caught him by the wrist, twisting it until he came screaming to the ground in agony. The little brother came crashing to the ground as well, but slightly farther away. The woman found a thick branch and started to hit the oldest boy with it. The servants stood there in silence as, the oldest boy's screams echoed throughout the garden. You would think he would be worried about himself, but instead he laid there smiling, at the young child who was beyond terrified. The oldest mouthed the words, It will be okay, Eien. Just close your eyes.

"WHY DON'T YOU EVER LISTEN! YOU WORTHLESS CHILD!" The boy didn't speak a word and took the beating. He kept his eyes on his little brother, on Eien. He smiled happily, as the beating continued and Eien watched in pure horror. Still no one came to the young boy's rescue. This lasted for what felt like 2 hours, yet was only 5 long minutes. Lying there beaten Avarna started to lose consciousness, the woman got up and walked away, bloody stick in hand. Once gone Avarna used all his strength to reach for Eien, once he had him in his embrace he stroke his back softly. Eien started to tremble softly, soon sobs escaped the boy's mouth."Don't cry. It's okay Eien. We will get out of here Eien. I promise, we will get out of here." He smiled down happily at the young child, blood slipping from his wounded head.





This made Eien want to walk out of the room, not evening wanting to be in Avarna's presence. He turned around ready to escape, before he remembered anything else. He had almost made it, until Avarna had noticed his footsteps. Avarna smiled like a innocent child as he saw Eien. Holding out his arms toward Eien, Eien walked toward his brother. He didn't argue or say a word in protest a blank expression on his face. He entered his embrace, just like back then. Avarna softly stroked Eien's hair, "I heard that some troublemakers had been captured. Are they those dirty Colours? It seems they have caused such a ruckus outside. Could I go see them?" Eien nodded slowly, "Yes...but you must stay hidden from the outside." Avarna laughed happily, as he agreed to Eien's request.

'James!' Veneficia, a small mere child at the time, heard her mother scream as she saw her father fall to the ground after a pounding noise blasted through both her ears. What was going on? She didn't know. Her father wasn't moving on the ground, and the men in the doorway had disgusted looks on their faces as they took out a red container of liquid and poured it around the house while Ven's mother wept over her father.

But really, what was going on? Ven didn't understand since it all happened so soon. She wasn't sure if she should have felt scared, sad, or angry, so all she could do was stare blankly at her motionless father with her younger sister, Arin's, hand in hers, who was also unsure.

It was only a minute later that the house turned a bright red, orange, and yellow color and it began to grow hotter and hotter on the inside. The house was burning. The cries of her mother turned into screams after a burning part of the roof came toppling down onto both her legs. She couldn't move, even though she tried to pull herself out, but the wood was far to heavy and the fire burned her hands when she tried to move it.

What the two girls did was merely just stand there. Ven could see her mother shouting something at the two, but her ears only rang with blurred noises. Arin gripped her older sister's hand more tightly, and when Ven turned to look at her, she was crying, but her face still showed no expression. The sisters turned back to their mother who kept on shouting, tears coming from her eyes two as her mouth continued to move.

Veneficia still couldn't hear anything though. What did her mother say the day she died?

Without thinking, once the horrifying sounds had returned to Ven's ears, she ran. She had no clue what she was thinking at the time, but she just ran, finding a small exit near the back of the house. If she didn't hurry, both her, and her sister would be crushed underneath the burning house. But that would have been troublesome, is what she thought, so she dove for it, and the two made it out, hardly alive, just in time to see their house in the fields of green crash to the ground and turn that beautiful emerald colored grass to a flaming red.

'W-What happened...' She asked quietly to herself. Veneficia didn't register anything that had happened until moments later where she suddenly broke down and began to cry along side her sister. After all, they lost everything in a simple few minutes.







Ven's eyes flashed open as she launched herself upwards out of her bed in the middle of the night. She was sweating, and it was burning hot. With a great sigh, she rose her hand towards her forehead, feeling nauseous and dizzy. Then, she cursed to herself. No matter how hard she tried to forget about what had happened in her past, she just simply couldn't, 'Any dream I have now are nightmares.' She thought to herself before getting up to change since she was most definitely not going outside her room wearing her night dressing.

From out of the shadows, she pulled out a deck of burned cards and looked down at them for a spare moment, "You promised we'd play cards that day..." She muttered mindlessly before realizing she had said something but shook it off and simply hid the cards in thin air with her concealing ability.

With a simple cough and stretch of her arms, Veneficia, the insane yet mature woman, was back to her usual self, "Perhaps I'll go gambling tonight? I'm sure those on the streets are awake and still betting the little money they have." She said before walking out of her darkened room, only being illuminated by the moon, and into the large building, which she never grew accustomed to, due to the fact that she had a horrible sense of direction.

"What a pain..." Ven said to herself, as usual before walking down the hallways and searching for some way to get off the current floor she was on. Like always, she was wearing those heels that made her one inch taller than she originally was, the same black dress and had her hair in the same curled fashion. That hardly ever changed, and it probably wouldn't for a very long time.

While walking, she heard voices in a near by room. Even though she merely sounded like whispers to her, she could recognize their voices any where, no matter how quiet they were. After all, once Ven had lost her family, the two had offered her something she couldn't refuse. While she never mentioned anything about it, she would always think of them are her saviors.

Without warning, she opened the door, quite quickly also and asked with that usual teasing, yet calmed smile, "Did I interrupt any brotherly love?" She gave off a small laugh. Usually, she'd close the door behind her, since Avarna, or Grey, was not supposed to be known to be an actual person. But it was nighttime, who would be awake and roaming the building and just happen to stumble upon that room over the many others? Nearly impossible, is what she calculated. Besides, she blocked the doorway, so no one would be able to see anyways.

"I'd hate to be called an eavesdropper, but what is this of the Colours?" Ven asked, crossing her arms as she leaned onto the doorway, supporting her weight. She was always keen about the Colours. Since Eien and Avarna were her saviors, and Colours were trying to get rid of them, that was the only reason she needed to hate them. It was only expected that she'd like to keep track of every one of their movements.

While she did say that she had eavesdropped a little, she made no mention of the dream, or 'nightmare' as she would call it, to the two. There are no reason to, and Veneficia had rather wanted to forget about the past rather than share it with others.

"And shouldn't the two of you children be sleeping? Especially you, Avarna; if some by passed, such as me, were to find you, things could get complicated, perhaps." She always referred to them as children. In fact, Ven referred to everyone as a child, despite their age, height, gender, or whatever else there was to judge from.

"There's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Unless it's night."


She still felt him.

He was in the tinkle of laughter when the wind brushed its fingertips across the wind chimes that hung above the doors of her art supply store. She worked there when she could find a gap between saving the world and saving herself.
He swam in the river of gold that ran through the fragments of sky and found itself beneath her skin.
He was in every inhalation, every sigh, and every tired gasp when another nightmare held her too close, when she remembered to breathe.
He lived somewhere between the footsteps that surrounded her, each individual pitter patter louder than the last, deafening and muffled like she was underwater.

She couldn’t stay afloat. She didn’t know how.

So she took it one day at a time. One twist of a knob to enter another empty room, and another, or one so crowded she couldn’t find herself. That was, if there was anyone left to find.
She listened to the scratch of charcoal on the thick grains of cream, and the drone of her empty heart was the most beautiful music she’d ever heard.
She let the dirt and grass beneath her body devour her, and convinced herself she was sinking when sleeping in a hollow bed became too hard.

She couldn’t live for herself. So she didn’t.

Jin, Jin, Jin… His name was an echo that shattered her thoughts like a gentle shock from a defibrillator. She tried not to think of him, but slitting her own throat might’ve been easier.
She didn’t let herself fall into the ocean of memories and feeling because she was afraid if she did, she would never find her way out.
Living with herself, with her head and her heart, became too hard. So she pretended she was Jin instead. Kind, determined, inspirational.
She pretended to be the light, the hope and the warmth she couldn’t feel.
Pretended to be the beacon and leader he might’ve been, had he survived.

Had Eien left him alive instead of her.

Had she not let him be murdered.

Had she not watched. Him. Die.

So was this it? Was this her apology? Her way of showing her gratitude? For losing everything that was good in the world? By pretending to be someone she could never, in her wildest imaginations, ever hope to be? By being Red?

It was.

Eve slipped her fingernails into the edges of the vent door on the roof of the building she knew the rebels were being held and where she knew the Primes also were. She'd been watching them for a long time. Too bad the vent door wouldn't budge. They must've sealed it since the last time she'd slipped in.

Eve felt the hum of moonlight and the trillions of stars above her in her veins but the darkness that plagued the night made photosynthesis painfully difficult. This was sunlight she couldn't waste but time was something she didn't have and finding another entry point would take minutes of the night away. Minutes people could die in.

Each ticking of the clock tower not so far away warned her of the lives that would be lost. One by one, they would be killed, their corpses abandoned with their trapped souls. Like her Colours. Like Jin.

A straight beam of sunlight shot from the tip of her index finger and sliced cleanly through the vent door. She soon followed through, slipping her body through the square hole and swinging silently onto the pristine floor below. Angry voices travelled through the maze of hallways, their footsteps sluggish and heavy.

"He's a child!"

"...not fit to rule."

"Quiet, he can hear you."

"...demon."

Eve darted around the corner, checking the guns tucked in her leather pants and the swords and knives pressed to her thighs. Her gaze shot up to the edge of the indoor balcony above her. With no time for doubt, she threw her body upward and grasped the edge of the railing only to feel the thump of footsteps just above her. She swallowed a curse and pressed her body tight against the ceiling, holding her entire weight by her fast numbing fingers.

"Did you hear something?" asked a cautious male voice.

Her arms were trembling as she hung upside down above them, seeing the top of their balding heads.

Move, move, move, she thought furiously.

"Oh." A chuckle. "My phone was buzzing this whole time."

Then they were gone.

Eve allowed herself a muted sigh as she swung her body over the railing and stood on the next floor. Her boots made no sound as she zig-zagged her way through the building, unseen and unnoticed. She'd contacted Hei earlier and knew Elysia had effectively replaced the footage on the security cameras. The young girl was phenomenal, succeeding in every mission Eve gave her, even if she never knew who it was from. Besides the vague, mythical Red who probably, maybe wasn't real, of course.

Eve was there.

A strand of red hair peaked from her cap and she tucked it into the inconspicuous mask that hid her identity and slipped behind the servant and through the doors that opened behind him for a fraction of a second. She placed a finger over her lips and shook her head at the shocked expressions of the rebels. Immediately, they relaxed their muscles into the tense frown they were in before. Every man and woman was bleeding and some had limbs that hung uselessly beneath the cuffs that connected them to the chairs - cemented to the floor, of course.

"We won't ask again. Where are-"

The woman choked on the blood gurgling from her throat, her words dripping onto her white blouse along with her life. Chaos erupted through the massive holding room as Eve hauled the person who's throat she'd slit to her feet. Bullets slammed into the dead interrogator's shell as Eve held her in front of herself, tucking her gun between the woman's arm and her torso to fire her pistol at the guards that invaded the room. She cursed as she dropped to a roll, a laser sword slicing cleanly through the air where her neck was just a millisecond before.

Her heart slammed against her ribcage as she pushed her body against the back of a metal chair.

"Free the rest," she hissed at the rebel trapped in it before cutting through the cuffs on his wrists and ankles with a cold blue stream of fire. A guard lunged at her and Eve leapt to her feet, twisting around and slamming the heel of her foot into his abdomen. He bent forward and she took the opportunity to wrestle the submachine gun from his hands, slamming the butt end into his temple.

She dropped to one knee and fired away.

Eve tugged at the lava that ran through her veins and saw the soft glow of her body as it reached impossible temperatures. If a gold coin had been tossed at her, it would've melted before it brushed her skin. Wisps of her now sizzling crimson hair peaked through her specially made clothing.

The submachine gun melted in her hands.

Eve slammed her palms together and the sun peaked between her fingers. A sphere of red light crashed from her body as she threw out her hands. The solar flare tossed her enemies aside, their bodies nearly making the walls shiver with the impact. The glass doors shattered into millions of little pieces as the pressure engulfed them. The blinding light coursed through the broken doors, out into the corridor and further through the building.

"Go, go, go!" she yelled to the rebels who stared in shock and disbelief.

"Where?" yelled the same man she'd first freed, now recovered.

"No time! Out the front door, take their guns. I'll distract!" she said hastily, hearing the warning crack of the floor beneath her suffering under the pressure. Her hair, tucked aside, gave a suggestion of a red halo around her, reflecting the bleeding, inhuman glow of her eyes.

"What about you?" he yelled back as people streamed out the door she'd blasted open.

"Leave it! It's a Colour!" came a reply from a nearby rebel, jerking the man with him through the path of escape.

The streams of fiery crimson, azure and gold light oozing from her body wavered, dimmed, and diminished.

"Hei," she breathed into her mouthpiece, not caring now if Yellow or any other hacker could hear her. She felt the familiar heaviness in her veins, as if she'd devoured ten gallons of petroleum. The migraines were blinding in their intensity, as if someone had reached into her skull and decided to play tennis with her brain. She could hardly stand on her feet. "Backup. Get them out."

She'd never asked for help before, but this had been a suicide mission as Hei had probably warned her. She'd never attacked Prime headquarters so outrightly before, but 26 rebel lives had been on the line. Leaders. Children. Could she have convinced herself that she was worth more than that?

Besides, she didn't plan to die just yet. She was the distraction.

The world needed Red.

She tugged at the leg of her pants and reached underneath for the ink beneath her skin. Her fingers peeled the circular object from her ankle and she clutched a miniature bomb in the palm of her hand.

Kanaede's device followed the arch of Eve's arm and blasted a hole through the wall.

The sound of the door opening, caused Eien to go into attack mode. He cursed himself that he didn't bother to lock the door, just because he thought no one would enter the room. Without a single sound one by one shadow monsters appeared behind him. They all had glowing red eyes, with drool dripping from their mouths. They bared there teeth at the one who was about to enter the room. As they were about to attack Eien heard a familiar snicker, and quickly called off his monsters. He watched as the one who had entered the room was Ven.

A sigh escaped Eien's lips as he was glad it was just Ven, "Did I interrupt any brotherly love?"

Eien growled lowly as he hated it when Ven teased him. Avarna on the other hand enjoyed Ven's remarks, it made him happy to have some more company with him. "Ven!" Without warning Ava raced toward Ven, and embraced her in a welcoming hug.

Eien sighed as he noticed how happy Ava was. This discouraged his raising rage, and soon he no longer had the heart to yell at Ven. His silent thoughts were interrupted by Ven's question,"I'd hate to be called an eavesdropper, but what is this of the Colours?"

Avarna wasn't paying attention as he was to happy about the fact Ven came to visit him so late at night, so she directed the question toward Eien. He looked Ven in the eyes and spoke, "Well Altid had captured some rebels and Colours when he was on patrol in Kano. I was going over there, after I came to visit Ava. But somehow Ava found out about the prisoners, and I promised to take him with me to see them as long as he was hidden."

After answering her question, Ven started to tease Eien once again, causing his eyebrow to twitch in annoyance, "And shouldn't the two of you children be sleeping? Especially you, Avarna; if some by passed, such as me, were to find you, things could get complicated, perhaps."

Before Eien could say anything, Avarna was already speaking, "Well, I wasn't really tired. So I called brother from his meeting. Besides you don't have to worry about people seeing me anymore, cause soon, everyone is going to see me."

Ava was about to ask Eien a question, when he felt an attack of emotions. It hit him like a bullet, and he fell to the ground. "Avarna?!" Eien ran over to his brother. Quickly bending down, he looked Ava in the face. A shiver went down Eien's spine as he saw a cruel smile displayed on Ava's lips, "Hey...Eien...Something fun is going to happen."

Like magic the alarms sounded all around, and a horrid noise echoed throughout halls. Eien cursed under his breath, "What is going on?"

He looked toward Ven, who shrugged her shoulders unknowingly. Eien quickly went into thinking mode. He was sure that it was Altid who ordered the alarm to sound, but why? Eien looked over at Avarna, who seemed to be in a happy trance.

He's feeling a lot of emotions.

"Avarna, what is going on? Read me the emotions!" It was silent, only the sounds of the alarms and the running feet of soldiers could be heard. Finally after a long silence, Avarna started to speak,"Relief. 'Finally we are free!' Confusion. 'Who let them all out?! Wait is that a Colour?' Complete Fear. 'Run! He's coming! Grey is coming!' It seems we have what they call...a prison break."

Once again the dark creatures surrounded Eien. This seemed to make Avarna amused so he continued, "...Red is there." This was a enough to cause the lights to burst, covering the whole room in darkness. The only source of light left was the red blinking alarms. With every flash, one could see the gathering of gruesome beasts around Eien. Some looked like wolves, others like lions and tigers, and even some looked like snakes.

Eien started to walk out the door, his creatures following behind him. But suddenly he stopped and without looking at Ven he spoke, "I need you to go help Altid. And don't you two argue! Avarna you need to stay in this room. Your existence isn't supposed to be learned of until tomorrow. We can't have the plan start to early." Avarna nodded and sat in the darkness, as he watched his brother walk away. He glanced at Ven and smiled,"Are you going Ven? Or do you still have another question?"





Eien finally arrived at the prisoner ward. Every soldiers' eye was on him, and each stood in attention. He walked up to one of the soldiers who looked to be about twenty-three and questioned him, "Did you report this breakout to Altid?"

The soldier was surprised and a little fearful that Eien was speaking to him, but he dared not keep him waiting,"Yes Sir! He knows of the situation."

Eien didn't say anything else and continued to walk toward the front of the prisoner ward gate. He felt better knowing it was really Altid who sounded the alarm. Also knowing Takano he probably is already working on this situation. Ven was on her way, so that wasn't on his mind. He knew that Cassius is definitely larking around the area somewhere, so he wouldn't be surprised if he heard a scream or something pretty soon. Ardaleah is on a mission away from the Headquarters so Eien is worried. And Avarna was in his room. That fact was the only thing Eien worried about. He truly hoped no one found Avarna.

Earlier Eien had requested a mic be given to him by a soldier. He was rather impatient, but after a while was finally given the mic. It was hooked up to all the speakers in the building, which he had Takano make and install for him. Once he pressed the button, every single siren was silenced, though the sounds of the people still could be heard and the flashing of the red lights still could be seen.

Without farther hesitation, Eien spoke into the mic, "This is Eien, I want every Prime, Colour, Soldier, Rebel, and whoever else that is in this mix to shut the hell up."

Everything a quiet. Not a sound could be heard throughout the whole building. Eien continued to speak, "Hey, Primes! I don't care what you do or how you do it, just know this. If you get blood all over the walls you will be cleaning it up! Having said that I want no prisoners, as it seems that is what has gotten us into this situation in the first place, so kill them all."

Letting go of the button, the sirens continued. Eien tossed the mic to the soldier beside him, and continued his walk toward the Gate. Once he stood right in front of the gate, his gruesome creations started to surround Eien, low growls escaped their mouth as fresh blood dripped from their mouths. Probably from a foolish rebel who believed he could escape while the others did all the fighting.

Pulling out Kira with his right hand, Eien readied himself. Kicking open the large gate with one push of the leg, a split second of silence filled the air, and the world was still.

Only two words came out of Eien's mouth as he watched all of the rebels that stood in front of him, "Kill them." At the command the shadow creatures ruthlessly attacked the rebels at full force, growling and baring their teeth, as Eien stood in front of the gate watching.

"Ven!" The black haired girl saw as Avarna ran over to her and gave her a hug. Of course, she'd return the embrace, "Evening." She simply said with her regular smile.

Since Avarna was busy pouring over how much she actually visited him at such a late time, Eien had apparently answered her question about the Colours instead, as she anticipated, "Well Altid had captured some rebels and Colours when he was on patrol in Kano. I was going over there, after I came to visit Ava. But somehow Ava found out about the prisoners, and I promised to take him with me to see them as long as he was hidden."

Just the sound of his name sickened her, "That little brat actually caught someone?" Ven asked, a disgusted expression darkening over her refined face. Nevertheless, she decided to drop the chat on Altid and moved on, "Well isn't that lovely? Then you little boys should be careful down there. We wouldn't want anything bad happening to you two, right?" She chuckled a bit, in her own odd way.

"Well, Avarna began, "I wasn't really tired. So I called brother from his meeting. Besides you don't have to worry about people seeing me anymore, cause soon, everyone is going to see me."

The sound of this though, made Ven a bit worried as a slightly concerned frown formed while she asked silently, as if directing her to herself, "What... what does that mean..." She was always anxious for the brother duo, and while she did enjoy teasing them, she was also protective of the two, not wanting any harm to come to them.

She then watched as Avarna suddenly collapsed, and out of pure worry, Ven actually took a step forward, as if she was going to also check if he was alright, just as his brother did. But after that first step, she went no further, despite her worry for what was happening. She tried not to show it on her face, so she got rid of that expression as quickly as possible before asked another question, "What is going on?"

Veneficia shrugged her shoulders, but it wasn't any innocent shrug. One, she had an idea of what was going on, and two, she didn't look like she was in the mood for joking around for the mean time. When things got serious, she knew how to act, "Wish I knew, dear..." She muttered quietly.

"Avarna, what is going on? Read me the emotions!"

"Relief. 'Finally we are free!' Confusion. 'Who let them all out?! Wait is that a Colour?' Complete Fear. 'Run! He's coming! Grey is coming!' It seems we have what they call...a prison break....Red is there."


Just like the way Ven reacted to Altid's name, she did the same at the mentioning of Red. Red was the man, as she presumed, who was trying to get rid of both her saviors, if she knew of the older brother as well. She needed no other reason to dispose of any Colours are being aware of this, 'Anyone trying to kill them will eventually be killed by me.' She scowled to herself.

Just then, lights began to flash, and she knew that her instinct was correct, especially after Avarna confirming this, "So they want to die that badly?" She asked with a bit of a crooked smile covered by her pale hand.

"I need you to go help Altid. And don't you two argue! Avarna you need to stay in this room. Your existence isn't supposed to be learned of until tomorrow. We can't have the plan start to early."

"What?" Ven looked at Eien was he was about to leave, "With Grey?" 'What kind of joke do you think this is?' She wanted to say, but kept herself from saying it. All she did was shut her mouth, and not complain, even though she desperately wanted to. A mere second later, she replaced that vile look with a kind hearted looking smile and said, "Oh don't worry. We won't argue, we'll just attempt to kill each other~ Good luck with your job, Ei." Ven said, calling him by a new nickname for the fun of it.

"Are you going Ven? Or do you still have another question?" Venefica saw Avarna give her a smile while she did the same back to him.

"Well, I'm definitely not going to just stay out of the action, that wouldn't be much fun, now would it?" Ven started for the door, but paused, waving her hand as what appeared to be a lollipop came into her grasp. She then tossed it to Avarna and said, "It may be a while, so there's something I won to give you some company while we're gone." She said and waved as she closed the door behind her.






After a while of searching for the elevator to get to the prisoners' location, she finally found one as she began to head down to their cells while hearing an announcement made by her leader, "This is Eien, I want every Prime, Colour, Soldier, Rebel, and whoever else that is in this mix to shut the hell up. Hey, Primes! I don't care what you do or how you do it, just know this. If you get blood all over the walls you will be cleaning it up! Having said that I want no prisoners, as it seems that is what has gotten us into this situation in the first place, so kill them all."

"Pupu..." Ven let out a small laugh, "It's almost like a game. How fun!" She said, clapping her hands as she finally arrived on the right floor. She began to walk, passing through the cells, some which were empty, and others which seemed to have been deprived open, in an obvious way too, "Already on the run?" She said silently and went quiet to let her ears find the source of the small sounds she could make out.

From out of the shadows, she waved her hand near her thigh and a short, yet beautifully made dagger was being gripped in her left hand, and so she did the same in her right before she was wielding two weapons, "Lets see who I can find first." She said, and after a little more time of listening, she heard a voice in the distance and ran for it.

More running, sprinting, she arrive there in time to find a whole group of people busting out the prisoners. The prisoners had their own outfits, so she knew that those without one would be apart of the Colours, "Just my luck." She grinned. None of the Colours were looking her way, so she had no power over them, for now, but one guard was, and he was further back than the whole group. Any lamb singled out from its herd was the wolf's prey, 'That's the way I work.'

The gaze of the man was on Ven, and she stared right back. From there, she activated her power, which began to break one bone in his body, and once that snapped, he let out a great scream, and right after that, another, before both his legs were broken and he couldn't run or walk, but only lay there in pain, "Fun, isn't it?" She asked, walking up to the man with the sharp weapon in her hand, "I'll end it quickly for you dear." Veneficia smile as she quickly cut his neck.

She then looked around some more, seeing how she lost track of the Colours, and eventually found Altid, who she gave a grunt at seeing, but nevertheless said with a dark expression, "You're late, brat. Hurry up and get to work." She growled, "If you could get them the first time, prove it to me that you're actually a man and get them now. I've already got one kill, and I'm pretty sure I'm far ahead of you." She snickered.

"Not late, I had other things to do." Veneficia heard Altid say, a hint of annoyance seeming to linger in her voice which made her smile with contentment at his anger with her. Of course, she hated Grey as well, but she didn't always display her hatred as openly as he did, just to piss him off even further.

"Is that so? You're slow then." Ven said, hearing footsteps behind her and finding another survivor. She turned around, looking at them in their frightened eyes for a moment, but before she could do anything horrible to them, he turned away, the eyesight between the two breaking.

Veneficia scowled at not using her ability quick enough to break one of his knees, at least, so that he wouldn't run away, "Damn it..." She murmured with frustration at this, and with the dagger in her left hand, tossed it swiftly as it hit the man in the back, pinning him to the ground, where he tried to get up before she skipped over and pulled it out, hiding it back into her shadows before leaving him there, kicking him once with her red heels and saying, "Good way of trying to escape, dumb ass."

"Also...Don't flatter yourself, as if you could ever be better than me."

At the sound of this, Ven growled, almost like an animal getting ready to attack its prey. But then she noticed something; Altid's voice squeaked a bit. Her mood suddenly lifted at the thought of this, and while she'd usually be quiet and just say something about it later to annoy him even more, she couldn't help it, "Says the lovely little girl. Please be sure to hold your puberty voice until the battle is over, Altid." She smirked.

But then, Ven heard Altid say something to someone that was close to them, but quite far away also. She looked into the same direction and saw two Colours. The sight of them wasn't very surprising, but rather something Veneficia herself was looking forward to. She couldn't' help but give off a small mischievous smile.

"It’s a shame that we always meet at such inconvenient circumstances. It’s also a shame that this will be the last time we meet."

"Such a shame. It will in fact be the last time we meet. But don't be afraid. You will die in combat, a honorable death. I see you dead at my feet Grey."

"Aw... how sweet~" Veneficia said, glancing at the two, "I never knew that lover quarrels happened during a battle. How interesting!" She laughed a regular laugh, but it was obvious there was a dark and mysterious feel to her, "Well, while the two of you are doing that, should I take my own prey?" She asked, taking a small glance at Kacey, or in other words, blue.

Veneficia made eye contact with Blue, Kacey, and began to activate her ability. She aimed on breaking her leg first, as she always did with all her prey. It made sure they wouldn't be able to run, or at least, that they wouldn't be able to run too fast, but something had interrupted her that made her freeze for a moment, “You’re safe, Blue. Huh, you’re even prettier than the queen now. Eien has a taste for flower boys, I see.”

'Who the hell is that-' Ven began to think before a snap of bright light flashed in the dark prison floor they were on. Black was blinded for a spare moment. She remembered seeing something like an arrow fired at Altid's forehead while one was also fired back at her. Something made Ven tense up at that moment, and she was unable to move.

Veneficia's eyes were blinded for a bit of a long time. She always was able to adjust to the darkness since she had literally lived in it for a quarter, or even half of her whole life. Anything bright, on the other hand, was impossible for Ven to get used to. She then heard running and knew it was the footsteps of her opponents. Now this made her angry and even more frustrated.

She knew their goal, and who they were trying to get to. No one but her and his brother knew that Avarna existed, so there was the final, one and only leader; Eien, "They wouldn't dare to touch him..." She said, allowing her eyes to readjust to the lighting as she got up from the ground, leaning on the wall to the left, "If you do," Ven continued to talk, regardless if the Colours were really there or not, "I'll rip you to pieces." She said seriously, and with the tone she said that in, there was no way she joking.

Ven was always taken as a very calm woman, but when someone dared to try and take away one of her family members, especially if that person were to be one of her saviors, she'd go all out as a legit killer. This was that time. Anyone trying to convince her to take any of the Colours or prisoners alive would be absurd, "I'll kill you all." She said darkly as her eyes finally adjusted as she then broke out into a sprint, or perhaps even a sprint to catch up to the people who had originally tried to get rid of Eien.

Kanade Hoshizora


"Lovers Quarrel." Kanade's eyebrow twitched in agitation at the thought. As of she could ever love anyone like that! Kanade looked over at Kacey, she was fine thanks to Orange. Her vision had been cut short at the interruption unfortunately and she wasn't getting another chance anytime soon so she slid her eye patch back on.

Kanade smirked, "I hope your ready for this." A grin spread across her face as she already began to succumb the insanity, "Grey!" .

Kanade hesitated for a moment, using the sanity that remained. Grey wasn't really a up close fighter as far as she knew but then again he could if he wanted to. Murmuring 'summon', putting her hands together then pulling them apart she received a smoke bomb. She threw it near Grey's feet and jumped in the air well above the smoke from years of training.

She had memorized Grey's position and hoped she'd pull this off. She was headed feet first to where she thought Grey was to knock him down. In her haste she hadn't made sure the smoke didn't obstruct anyone else's view but the smoke bomb wasn't very large honestly and if it did it would go away soon enough with everyone's movements creating wind.

Eien was still standing in front of the gate. He didn't seemed rushed by the turn of events, but rather...curious. At this moment he wouldn't let his thoughts be interrupted by the yelling of the rebels. Few had the courage to stand even close to his presence, but still not one dared to go past him or even stand beside him. Though it wasn't like Eien was going to move, nor did he seem to be paying any attention to their irritating ranting.

All his attention was drawn to one...man? Eien wasn't sure if it was even a he, but that didn't concern him in the least. What truly bothered him was the fact that this man was able to draw almost half of his creations toward him, without Eien commanding them.

Eien knew his creations responded to one thing more than anything, and that was light. They were designed to stuff out the light wherever or whoever it is. But never has Eien seen someone be attacked by so many of his beast...and live.

This frustrated Eien and he demanded to know who that person was. As he was about to enter the mist of the battle. He was stopped by a single rebels, brave enough to stand in his way. Eien stared into his eyes, which were filled with hatred and anger. He knew what he wanted. The man wished to kill him, do unto him as he did to him. His voice was trembling with anger and crude intentions toward Eien,"Y-You...Bastard! Everything is because of you!"

Eien didn't say a word, as he listened to the endless sobs of the man. Eien's eyes were unwavering, unlike the mans, whose eyes seemed to quiver more and more as he realized that Eien truly didn't care. The man pointed a gun at Eien. His hands were unsteady and unfocused. Small tears formed in the eyes of this man,"Do you know what you did?!"

Eien didn't stay silent this time and answered the man,"No." Eien's voice held no concern. It was cold and authoritative. Which made the man more infuriated. Even at gunpoint, Eien still held his prideful manner and bold way of speaking. Though it was only one simple word, it conveyed multiple of meanings. One of them being that Eien doesn't care about what he did or does to anyone.

The man's hands started to quiver even more. Fresh tears dripped from his eyes,"YOU KILLED THEM! MY WIFE! MY CHILDREN! YOU KILLED THEM ALL, WITHOUT A SINGLE SINCE OF REMORSE!" The man stepped closer aiming the gun straight at Eien.

Eien looked into the man's eyes, and was disgusted by the site. His eyes held nothing, but pure determination to kill him. He didn't even look like he was planning on escaping. Eien knew that this man had been planning this. This poor man was ready to die, if it meant being able to get revenge on him.

Eien closed his eyes for a split second. He blocked out all sound around him, and started to recall his memory. Thousands upon thousands of faces flashed through his head. Faces of the ones he killed, down to the very first one. At once he stopped at three faces.

Bloody. Twisted. Smiling.

Eien opened his eyes slowly. Staring at the man who still had a risen gun, Eien smile boldly, "They were a beautiful family."

The man's whole body froze. Lowering the gun an inch downward he stared at Eien with trembling eyes,"...What?"

Eien smiled cruelly at the man,"So trusting and loyal."

The man shook his head,"Y-You."

"It was such a waste of time to kill them. But I couldn't leave them looking so miserable. Especially when they were so deep in despair, when I told them you were dead."

"Lies."

"Your wife was the saddest. Grieving so horribly for you. Saying she no longer wished to live in a world without you."

"Shut up."

"So of course I had to fulfill her wish."

"Stop talking!"

"They didn't even scream. They all died smiling."

"Monster."

A twisted smile formed on Eien's face as he looked at the man, "You call me a Monster. But in reality you are just frustrated in your own incapability to protect the ones you cherished. Am I right"

The man's eyes grew wider as he listened to the words of Eien. They sank in like water. Leaving a horrible feeling inside of him. It was deep and frustrating. The man began to crumble under the weight.

Eien looked down upon the man with scornful eyes. Judgement rang through his voice as he kept speaking, "Do not blame me for their deaths, but instead blame yourself for being unable to protect them!"

"MONSTER!" In that instant the man rose the gun and fired at Eien in full rage.

Swiftly raising Kira Eien slashed at the bullets one by one, not even once did they hit him. He was about to cut down the last bullet, when he was blinded by a bright light. He squinted his eyes, and in that second the bullet pierced through his left arm. The man drooped the gun, as he looked at Eien with complete horror. He couldn't believe he hit him. He could only stare as Eien stood there bleeding.

"I'm assuming Red is with Kanade and Kacey and facing off against Grey and Black last time I cheeked. As for Elsyia, I have no bloody idea."

Shou sighed, a bit frustratedly with how the situation was going. Of course Shou didn't expect much good luck on trying to raid the Prime's home with such little back up and force, but he didn't really think it'd get that bad, "Well, isn't that just great?" He grinned his normal grin, as usual. Despite any situation, Shou was never pressured that much.

"If you didn't notice, keeping up the pace is going to be a little hard Shou!" Shou turned around at the sound of her voice and noticed that she was, indeed limping. He was so focused on getting off that floor that he almost forgot about Hei's injuries. They didn't seem to help her run as much.

He stopped running opening both his eyes now as he went back to her and showed her his back, bending down as bit as he said, "Get on." But then he realized that her taking action would take too much time off their hands as he just rolled his eyes and picked the girl up, not needing her opinion, "No arguing, kid. We've got to find Eien." He said, a small snicker coming from him as he went forward once more.

It may not have been safe since he was stumbling every few second since he had to focus on both Mayu and his own actions, but it was much faster than having Hei doing the same behind him. In fact, they probably moved twice as fast.

"Hey, be careful! Your tripping all over the place Shou!"

"Shh." He said, stopping for a moment and listening for any signs of running, or even breathing. He heard nothing, so he continued to dash forwards and said, "Don't mind the bumpiness. Mayu's searching the floors above us and I have to concentrate on the both of us, so there's no helping it." Shou said.

In the eyes of his precious doll on one of the middle floors, Shou continued to make Mayu wander the floor, "Damn it, I'm finding nothing." He grumbled, almost childishly before nearly tripping again, this time on a dead body, "Gah- Sorry!" He said, seeming to have been apologizing to both the killed man, who he didn't recognize, and Hei, since it may have taken a toll on her.

Suddenly, Mayu found something. Through her eyes, Shou spotted an open door, and the sound of something inside, who was moving. The blonde haired man stopped in his footsteps, now deciding to focus much more on the doll, "Scratch that..." He nearly whispered, "I found someone."

All the Primes guards should have been down on their prison floor trying to find the other Colours, so who exactly was that in the room? He didn't exactly know, but he knew he had to figure it out.

Now, Shou began to walk just a little bit, at a very slow pace. His breathing became a little heavy at that moment. While Mayu was a doll, it'd still be suspicious to see it lying around where only adults went to. He couldn't let her get seen.

Slowly, the small green haired doll peeked in the small gap between the door and wall. From there, through the green doll's eyes, Shou spotted a man, perhaps his age, maybe even younger since he was short. Without doubts, Shou assumed that he had found Eien's office, "Tch. Just like the coward he really is, he's hiding in his room." He smirked before making Mayu sit just inside of the room so he could watch the man's movements, "I'm going to speed it up! I may have just found the person we're looking for!" He said before doing just as he had promised.

Within a few minutes, he finally found an elevator. He would get some time to rest, and some time to let Hei rest also. The elevator opened up no sooner than he needed it to be. Yelling was heard behind the two as Shou launched around and shot the man directly in the head without even needing to aim. Before it could close, Shou entered and put Hei onto the ground. The floor they had to get to was still quite far away, so they had at least a minute before arriving at their right floor.

Tiredly, Shou slumped to the ground, sitting down and laying both his arms on his knees before turning towards the orange haired girl and said, "We can come back for the others, if we could possibly find them, but right now, we have to get rid of Eien. He's the core of all this trouble, so in the mean time, lets just head there first." His words seemed to have been hesitant since he didn't like the idea of leaving behind his comrades, 'But what has to be done, has to be done.' He thought darkly to himself, his expression seeming to have hardened.

But little did he know that the man Mayu had spotted was not Eien, but his older brother, who Shou didn't even know existed.

"Well, I'm definitely not going to just stay out of the action, that wouldn't be much fun, now would it?" Ava smiled happily. He knew that Ven wasn't one to sit and watch, unlike him,who could do nothing but wait. This made Ava feel a ting of sadness. Maybe Ven had noticed, or maybe not. But anyway she had paused before exiting the door and faced Ava holding a lollipop.

Ava caught the lollipop, which Ven had tossed over to him. A small smile formed on his face as he looked at it. "It may be a while, so there's something I won to give you some company while we're gone." She said and waved as she closed the door behind her.

There Ava was left in the darkness of his room. He knew that he would be in here for a while so he at least thought he should do something. But what was there to do in an this room? Once Ava had actually thought about it, he hasn't been outside lately, "Maybe...if just for little while... I could -"

Ava was about to exit the room, even though it was forbidden. Still it wasn't going to be for a long time, he just wanted to look around. But before Ava could open the door all the way, he was stopped by two of Eien's creatures. Ava couldn't help, but laugh at this little surprise. "Eien must really not want me outside." He had almost made it out. The door was half open, but of course he wouldn't have succeeded...I never do.

Ava looked at the eyes of the two beasts, who seemed to be hesitant toward him. He chuckled at the fact that they had some sense of awareness. Ava knew he shouldn't fight with them,as it would only cause more trouble for Eien. Walking away he sat himself upon his bed. Letting his body flop down lifelessly, he came in contact with the soft fabric of his sheets.

The moon shone brightly on his body, and Ava couldn't help but stare up at its beauty. So pure and white. Something he no longer was. Ava stuck the candy he got from Ven in his pocket, as he just didn't have the heart to eat anything. There he laid on his bed, and watched the moon shine.

Out of nowhere, Avarna felt a sudden stab in his shoulder. Wincing softly he touched the place where he felt the most pain. Once he touched it, he was surprised to feel nothing. Though it hurt, there was no blood or any physical wound to be found.

So is it emotional?

Ava wasn't sure what to think at the moment. He only has an emotional connection toward One person, and that was Eien. So was Eien hurt?

”That’s impossible.” There wasn't anyway Eien could get hurt, and in such a place too. He was too fast. But what if he did?

Ava felt a very uncomfortable feeling over take him. It was a rare feeling that he hadn't felt in a long time: Fear. Ava shivered at using the word to describe his own emotions. It was fine if others had the emotion, but he hated it when he felt it too.

Ava wished he could exit this room, but even if he wanted to he couldn't. Eien had told him to stay inside,and besides by the time he gets over there the monsters would have stopped him. Ava cursed the fact that his little brother had done this, but he couldn't erase the past. But still he had to get out. He had to make sure Eien was fine.

Ava had gotten out of bed, and soon started pacing the perimeter of his large room. Unexpectedly he paused after hearing a small sound outside. Ava stood still. Facing the door, he listened closely to what was outside. He felt something coming. It wasn't big, but it wasn't human either.

The whole room was covered in darkness, the only source of light was the red warning lights, that only flashed once every other second. The once beautiful moon, was hidden behind hideous grey clouds in fear.

It's impossible. No one would be so high up in the building, this was the top floor, and besides the only people who knew of this rooms existence was Eien and Ven. So how could anyone find it?

Ava froze to the sound of footsteps ending at his door. The two shadows around him, started to growl lowly. He hushed them with his finger and then backed away slightly from the door.

Ava was nervous. Why? Because whatever was out there had no emotion at the moment, so he had no idea what it was. Ava backed away from the door as he could hear the movements from outside. He hid in the darkness with his brother’s monsters, awaiting whatever was coming.[/color]

Hei couldn't help but shake her own head as she continued to follow behind the taller, older man. He was just a positive person, no matter the situation. Of course, after she 'whined', as she would call it, about not being able to keep up with Shou's pace, she tilted her head as he turned around to observe her before coming over to her and bending down slightly.

"Get on."

Sure, Hei was being a slow poke, but was she really that slow that he wanted to carry her on his back? Just as the girl was about to open, then shut her mouth, he had picked her up in his arms, her face now a bright red. "O-Oi!" Hei squeaked, cursing the fact she most likely did look like a small child in his arms.

"No arguing, kid. We've got to find Eien." Hearing him let out a small snicker only gained him a pouting girl within his arms, cheeks puffed out and all before she began to hold onto him, not wanting to be dropped by his constant stumbling from his multitasking. Now though, she had to admit, they were going faster then when she was limping.

Allowing herself to be shush as she held in her breathe, only releasing once he began to move once more, mumbling a light "I know."

It was a few more minutes afterwards, Hei's eyes darted upwards to look up towards Shou as he spoke. "Damn it, I'm finding nothing."

"It has to be somewh- Whoa!" Hei's head bobbed a bit harder then normal, her hands gripping the fabric of his shirt to make sure she would bring him down with her as he nearly tripped over the dead body.

"Gah- Sorry!" It was clear the apology was to both, the brutally massacred man to Hei.

"It's fine, it's not like you dropped me down the stairs... You won't drop me down the stairs right?" Hei lightly teased, releasing her death grip on Shou's shirt. When he stopped in his track though, Hei began to squirm in order to sit up in his arms, knowing he had found something just by the way he was focusing on what she believed to be Mayu. Her eyes widened as his soft, quiet voice.

"Scratch that... I found someone."


Not a word came from Hei's mouth as she stared at Shou, his slow pace and heavy breathing only made her anxious to know what, or who he found. Was it really Eien? Or maybe another rebel? No, no rebel would be up here of all places. They'd be escaping... So who was it exactly? Eien didn't seem to be one to be a coward, but maybe her assumptions were wrong this time... But wait, wasn't Eien spotted out by the front gate? So many possibilities had flooded into her head as she was snapped out of it by Shou's grumble.

"Tch. Just like the coward he really is, he's hiding in his room." That smirk of his said he was confident in what he saw all on it's own. For now, she'd give Shou the benefit of the doubt, but if it wasn't Eien, what then? Pushing it aside, Hei didn't even bother to open her mouth. "I'm going to speed it up! I may have just found the person we're looking for!" Hei nodded, her eyes locked ahead of them. The determination in her eyes mixing with the curiosity of her own doubts.

Once they had arrived in a few minutes to the elevator, Hei paid the now dead guard no mind as Shou set her down. As he turned around to look at her once the door was shut, she was busy tightening the pieces of clothe around her wounds. "We can come back for the others, if we could possibly find them, but right now, we have to get rid of Eien. He's the core of all this trouble, so in the mean time, lets just head there first."

"But what if it is not Eien?" It was better to bring up doubts right now then when their at the man's door. It was two against one, and that man... He killed her brother, as well as thirteen of the original colors without even having to break out in a sweat. "... Man..." Hei let out a loud sigh as she stood up, finally on their desired floor as the elevator door opened up. The floor level was oddly quiet with the occasional red light. It was as if there was something hidden up here, something that they didn't want anyone else to find out.

Looking over to Shou with concerned eyes, she tried her best to convey what she suspected with no words. Who knew what was up here with that guy Shou had spotted, but they were about to find out. Every step they made echoed, and the stoic expression on her face, as well as her black pistol being pulled out, spelt out she was now fully aware of her surroundings, her eyes a lit up orange color as she listened for anything within the rooms, eventually spotting the door that was open just a bit.

Once the pair was outside the door, that's when she heard the soft growls on the other side before it went quiet. Still, it oddly didn't strike a twinge of fear like it normally would of. She was calm, for once. She was the co-leader of the Colors, and right now was not the time to freeze and back out like a scared child. She needed to find out who that was on the other side of that door.

By the time Cassius had made his way to where he had previously heard the voices of Altid and Veneficia, as well as what he could assume to be three other voices, two female and one genderless mess, they all seemed to have moved outside towards the front gate. What was the large fuss about though? Jogging at this point, stepping on the dead bodies that were in his path, Cassius quickly made it to the outside world with a frown at the sight. A girl, getting ready to slice at Altid's throat, Eien being shot, a teammate to who he could assume was Red telling the genderless figure she wouldn't leave regardless of what occurred... Wait, had this known figure of resistance... Just offered up his own?

Just hearing about that caused Cassius to struggle to swallow down his urge to smile. This was no matter to smile about when Eien was bleeding. The more he focused on the blood, and how the man with the gun was still on his knees, breathing, the more Cassius began to slowly enrage himself, yet he refused to let it take the better of him. Still just as stoic as before, he let the ground rumble directly under Altid, in his own way to alert the man of the girl, Blue; if Cassius had to assume, behind him. Cassius then turned to stare directly at Eien now, not wanting to say a word at this very moment, and instead leaned against the wall of the building. It was always better to observe in these moments... There was Blue as he was assuming, Green, and Red. Where in the world were the other three though?

Eien let his blade fall to the ground with a thud. He stood there in utter shock,or rather he just didn't know how to take this situation. He only had to glance at his arm once to notice the hole located on it. He could feel the bullet, which was still inside his arm.

Before Eien could think any farther about the situation, his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of another alarm. He sent a slight glance at Altid, who looked more surprised than him. Altid, with swift movements, pulled out his gun and shot at the man. The rebel let the gun slip through his fingers and fell to the floor bleeding.

Eien looked down at the man, who was right before his feet. Eien didn't have time to think, as once again he was halted. This time by a single voice, "STOP!"

The person's cry pierced through the darkness like a sprint of light. Eien watched as Red's glowing body dashed towards the fallen man, impossibly fast. With no movement he watched, Red clutch the bleeding man toward her chest, gently cradling his wounded body as her light seemed to encompass him. Eien could feel her fierce gaze on him.

"Stop", she enunciated softly. A swirl of silver and gold light spun around her and the rebel she protected, the rebel who was bleeding to death in her hands. Eien didn't move. He watched quietly, a familiar feeling overtook him. He couldn't help but feel as if this whole thing happened before. But where?

"They're nothing to you." Pulled from his thoughts. Eien stared at Red, his eyes held no emotion.

"Just a bunch of pesky rebels you don't need or want to... Waste your time on," Each word was said carefully, making them sink even deeper. A small smirk formed on Eien's face. But it held a hint of despair rather then pride. Red had moved closer toward Eien, but he kept still waiting for her to continue.

"We won't put up a fight, you won't have any more ugly holes in your ceiling or blood stains on your plush carpets," she said dryly. "Let the rebels and my Colours go, and you can have any one Colour of your choice. You can have me." Eien didn't say a word. His expression couldn't be seen anymore as he had his whole head downward, not in shame, but rather as if he was in deep thought. Before he could answer he was once again stopped by yet another color, Green.

"No. Red! Please, we can escape! Don't-!"

"Red. Any Colour they take, I won't abandon. That's a promise."

Eien continued to have his head down. What beautiful words everyone was saying. Sweet, Beautiful, Pitiful words. Eien's whole body started to shake, then a loud laugh erupted that echoed across the entire prison. It was dry and forced, and if it wasn't for the bullet in his arm, Eien would have fallen over.

His laughter only lasted a short minute, before Eien' s attention turned toward the soldiers behind him. Silently he gazed at each one with a serious expression. His eyes stopped on a single soldier, who held a small knife, "Give me the knife."

Eien's expression was calm, but it hid something sinister. This scared the soldier as he hasn't seen Eien this way before. He was hesitant to hand him the knife, but broke down after noticing Eien's cold gaze on him. He handed the knife to Eien, and in return he gave the soldier a slow nod, "Thank you."

Without farther words Eien walked toward an open flame, which was sitting on a torch attached to the wall. Lifting up the knife he heated it in the flame. Once Eien was sure the knife was hot enough, he jabbed the knife into his wound making a spine tingling noise.

Everyone was in shock at this bold and insane move, only being able to stand and watch him. Seconds, which felt like minutes, passed until the small bullet popped out of his wound, and onto the ground below. Once spotting the bullet Eien dropped the bloody knife beside it.

A stream of blood dripped from his worsening wound, and even though it looked unbearably painful, Eien's face showed nothing but a simple smile. His gaze focused on Red and the dying man in her arms, and with no words he walked toward the two.

It was in the blink of an eye, leaving no one the chance to take in the situation. It was to fast and quick. Without a single warning Eien had taken up Kira in his right hand, and cut off the rebel's head in cold blood. The color of crimson splattered everywhere covering Eien, Red, and the others who were near the incident. All rebels in the room could read the atmosphere, and one by one they all ran outside with the others, escaping from the prison. No one was left, but the Colours, a few soldiers, and the Primes.

"You are right, Red. They are nothing to me. Just a bunch of pesky rebels I don't need or want to spend my time on. Including that one with no head." Despite his expressionless face, his word's had a hint of delight in them.

"You know, before this whole incident started I thought you would be an interesting opponent...but it seems I gave you to much credit." He let out a sigh as he twirled Kira around in a circle. The guards beside him were very cautious, as to not get hit by the twirling blade.

"Maybe it is my fault for believing a child could be entertaining." Eien pointed the blade at Red's forehead, but slowly lowered the weapon. "You call yourself a leader? What I see is a coward, who can't protect anyone. Do you really believe by offering up your life, that it would solve this whole problem? If you take the punishment for another person that would be enough? What blind foolishness. You're just like a new born child. Helpless and naive about the situation before you." Eien's eyes were unwavering as he stared at Red.

"Let me give you some advice Little Red. Instead of trying to shoulder the mistakes of the people around you, start letting them take responsibility for their actions. You can't safe everyone." Eien turned his attention to the soldier who handed him the knife, "Tell the soldiers outside to let the Rebels pass, and that their Colours are leaving with them also."

The soldier nodded and raced outside, announcing the news. Eien turned to Red once again, "So Little Red. You may leave now. Or do you wish for more people to die? If it was me I would take this opportunity to save yourself and the rest of the Rebels and Colours. Now go. Go while I'm showing you mercy."

"But what if it is not Eien?" Shou heard Hei ask during their ride up the elevator.

Shou only shrugged and said, "Everyone makes their own mistakes, I guess that'll be one of my own." He said, stretching his arm as he felt the elevator reaching their destination, "Lets just hope it is, and hope that we could kill him before he kills us. That'd be pretty bad, wouldn't it." He laughed a little, but anyone could tell he was pretty uncertain about his decision.

After all, he had the choice to go back down to the prison floor and find the other Colours, who were probably in a lot of trouble, but out of his own selfishness, which no one seemed to suspect, he chose to come back for them when it was over, if he could finish it all off, 'If only that could happen...' He thought to himself before seeing Hei stand after she wrapped her wounds. The elevator stopped and the doors opened.

"Yeah." Shou said, recognizing the hallway, "This is the right one. Come on, I'll get us there. Keep an eye out for anyone else headed this way and stay quiet. I'd rather sneak up on Eien than to run in there with him knowing our presence." He said and proceeded slowly and cautiously. He took note to Hei's injuries, so he kept his pace slow and went a little bit in front of her just incase any threat would come up.

He always knew that the injured had to take safety priority first. No matter how selfish Shou was, he always stuck to this rule.

He covered up his right eye, now seeing two different perspectives; one being that of a small doll sitting in a room with a white haired man, and another being his own eyes. He began to stumble again, but because of how slow he was going, Shou made sure he wouldn't cause my disturbances.

"That door..." Shou said, removing his hand from his eye and pointing to the door near the end of the hallway. He was certain that the door he saw was that one, and so he made his way towards there.

"Oh wait, where do you two think you're going?" A soft voice called from behind Hei and Shou.

The blonde haired man stopped in his footsteps, almost immediately. He even held his breath, without knowing, as he turned his head around. Before the two was a woman with curled black hair. It was obvious that she wasn't normal, and it was obvious that she was a Prime.

Shou growled a bit as he muttered, "Black..."

"So you know of me?" Veneficia asked, a normal smile on her face as she said sweetly, "That's nice, isn't it? Should I give you a treat like the dogs you poor creatures are?" She asked, now having a sorrowful look on her face, but it was clear that the woman had no pity in her eyes. Despite this look, she actually looked like she had a burning hatred, for something, or maybe someone.

Shou glanced back at the door, making a signal to Hei, behind his back, for her to get to the door. If both of them stayed outside, they'd be wasting too much time. But then again, Hei was injured. Still, he had to know who was in there, "At least look inside. Contact me through your mic and get outside. I have a feeling this isn't going to be too pretty if you stay too long."

Veneficia saw his quick look towards the door and she knew who was in there. They probably didn't and suspected it was someone else. Still, she couldn't, and wouldn't let anyone inside. Her expression grew hard as she said, "I won't let you go in there. If you try grabbing for the door, I'll break your arm, understand?" She asked, a dark smile on her face.

"Just go," He whispered to Hei, "As long as I keep this little animal under control she shouldn't be able to get to you. Alright, hurry up." Shou said, giving her a small push back as he pulled out one of his pistols and said, this time to the Prime, "I've always wanted to kill a Prime. Has the time finally come?"

"I'm the same." Veneficia said, "But I've always wanted to kill one of you pathetic Colours. I'm afraid I'll be granting my wish today though, so yours will have to wait for your next life time." She said, focusing her eyes on his, but deciding it'd be no fun like that, so she took out a dagger instead, and began to twirl it in her hand, "Are you ready dear?"

Hei's eyes widened as her head spun around towards the Prime, Black. This wasn't going to be good. They were so close! Annoyance was hidden under her stoic expression, her hands reaching for her own pistols as she knew she wouldn't be getting a word in edge-wise in what to do... This needed to be done, Shou was right.

Her eyes darted downwards towards Shou's signal behind his back, then slowly towards the door. "At least look inside. Contact me through your mic and get outside. I have a feeling this isn't going to be too pretty if you stay too long."

Just as Hei was about to nod and agree, she glared up at Black. "I won't let you go in there. If you try grabbing for the door, I'll break your arm, understand?" Damn, she had caught his glance towards the door?

"Just go," His voice was a whisper at this point. He didn't need to tell her what to do, really, especially when they should stick together when facing a Prime... She needed to get in that room. To face, whoever, and whatever was on the other side. To know who was to blame in reality for her brother's death. Was it the women he abandoned his family for, or the so called 'monster'. "As long as I keep this little animal under control she shouldn't be able to get to you. Alright, hurry up."

"Right..." It wasn't a necessary to answer him, but it didn't matter. "Be careful." She could only hope there was a window within the room for a quick exit plan. With that, Hei had quickly opened the door just enough for her body to slip inside, her speed that of practically a scared mouse, though no such emotions were felt. In felt, she actually felt a little determined as she looked around the room, her eyes now a lit up orange to signal her senses were now improved, seeing an outline within the shadows of the room.

"Perhaps, you can come out?" No, this couldn't be him. Could it? Pistols were drawn, and her back was now against the shut door. "I won't attack unless given a good reason too. Even if you are Eien." It was one hundred prevent true as well. She needed answers before anything else. Even before the Colors. Someone was at fault, be it her brother, Eve, or Eien. Or maybe they all shared partial blame... Hell, thought Hei didn't even want to admit it, it might of been no one's fault in the end...
