Sorry for the delay, I think I'm so focused on Phantasmagoria and I need more ideas for this. I'm trying my best to not let the pressure get to me so much. Anyway, please read and enjoy to see the excitement. --KatDon
Chapter 4
“Vinsmoke, right? Lord Ichiji….Lord Niji….Lord Yonji….I know you boys can hear me, you’re in deep shit.” He had a leer in his voice, “What we’re looking at is a bounty on your heads. You have 12 hours to survive, you bring it back or us guys like us Berserkers will cause shit to happen. Since you won’t heed, you won’t survive in this mad game now won’t you ‘cause I know who you are and I saw what you did.” The voice of the caller said. Niji grits his teeth, “What the hell did we do?!” He demanded. “Uh, guys? Look!” Tommy said, pointing over to the screen. It was a footage from the MPD: Jeanne woke up, she was horrified as she was held captive by Ichiji, Niji and Yonji who try to break her emotionally as Jeanne was bounded while she was scared and begging for mercy however she was not given any. It was a nightmare until she freed herself and escaped with her life depending on it. Once she was safe; Jeanne broke down crying from all that happened. However; she is being chased though she does not stop running. She finds a dead end as Yonji and Niji confront her. “Stay away from me!” Jeanne shouted. “Don’t be like that, sweet thing!” Yonji taunted. In her panic; Jeanne took a taser she had on her and tries to use it against him. But it didn’t work as he looked unfazed and Jeanne learns he wields the powers of electric. Niji smirked, “Was that supposed to hurt?” He asked. Jeanne gasped while the other two brothers laugh. The footage ends with recorded voices of guys saying this line: “I know who you are and I saw what you did.” Over and over again! Then another set of footage plays out: Judge gives a hard stare to Briar who gives one back to him as she smiles. “You know what Sylver has been doing.” He said. Briar shrugged. “Yeah, pretty much. But I have no part in this.” She replied. “You don’t decide on what you say.” Judge confirmed. “I don’t have an opinion in this?” Briar asked. “No.” replied Ichiji with a smirk. Briar reflected with her own sneer, “Well, screw you. I do have one and you can’t stop me.” She verified. Judge narrowed his eyes and pulled out something. “Do you know this?” He asked. Briar’s sneer faded and saw the familiar documents. “Fury Project…” She gasped. Judge Vinsmoke mentioned his knows the truth to Sylver’s past and knows who she really is. Upon hearing this; Sylver watches with a stunned expression, she turns to see Yonji and Niji smirking at her. Sylver turns away. Briar turned to her and whisper, “Easy girl. You’re going to be OK.” Sylver nodded. “ANSWER ME--!!” Judge demanded but is cut off as Briar uses her abilities to put him in a chokehold with her psychokinesis. “I would appreciate if you didn’t have to raise your voice, Your Majesty. Sylver Eden has been through shit, if you do anything to make her scared, I will make you pay for it!” Briar threatened. “You hate us, don’t you?” Judge asked in a cold voice. “Let’s just say, I don’t like abusive fathers like you.” Briar said with a dark grin on her face. Briar uses her telekinesis as she took the Fury Project documents, much the clan’s dismay. Briar released him and sat back down. “You try to bring harm to us?” Judge thundered. “You think that hurts? YOU JUST WAIT!!!” Briar exclaimed, revealing her Banshee form—much to the horror of the family. That’s when Briar begin to smile as she gestured to Sylver and she gets up. “You’re leaving? You’re not walking from this.” Ichiji said. Briar laughed, “Oh no, I’m not walking away. I just moved away ‘cause you got a visitor. You’d better duck!” She said. Just then, a Germa 66 soldier flies down and crashes into the table. And then, a voice shouted: “VINSMOKEEEEEEE!!!” Travis appeared with gritted teeth and holding a beam katana. “Travis…We meet again.” Judge said. “Sorry to crash your Mad Tea Party but I got a shit ton of anger.” Travis said. “Learn your place, do you know who we are?” Judge asked. Travis smirked, “Garuda? Sparkling Red? Electro Blue? Winch Green? Pfft, who cares! I got good names for ya--Bastarduda. Shithead Red. Ass Hat Blue. And Son of a Bitch Green.” He said. “WHAT WAS THAT?!” Yonji shouted. “We’ll make you eat those words!” Niji declared. Travis had his beam katana as he cried, “SHOT LIKE A ROCKET INTO THE SKY, NOTHING IS GONNA STOP ME TONIGHT!!!” Briar smiled as the battle begins. Travis clashes against the brothers. “You’ve done this before? Wait, aren’t you an assassin? Why go after a bunch of mercenaries like us? Don’t you worry about getting yourself killed?” taunted Ichiji. Travis smiled tightly, “Ha! I got a target on my back, Pompadour. I’m the lone survivor last. You guys got me in your sights. I’m living the dangerous life.” He declared. “I bet you do! Must’ve sucked for ya, doesn’t it?” Yonji said. “You know, big talk. More intense than any anime or video game.” Travis retorted. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, you need to shut it!” Niji yelled. Travis backs off and hides behind a plant to catch his breath. “By the way, you heard of a kid name Nai?” He managed to say. “Who?” Yonji panted. “The kid with white hair, you caused him to be in the hospital.” Travis reminded. Niji snickered, “Oh yeah…Pathetic little boy. Ha, you wanna hear how many bones were broken? How much beating we gave him?” He said. “No….I want to hear you begging and crying for your lives.” It switches where there was a ringing sound that was a whistle blown and Sylvia appeared, “STOP RIGHT THERE!!! THE FIGHT—IS OVER!!!” She commanded. “Nice save.” Briar commented. Sylver breathed a sigh of relief. “What? We’re just getting starting!” Niji complained. “In the Rules of Conduct for Assassins; if your opponent dies for whatever reason, is it your win. However, in this situation, if your opponent is defeated under different circumstances, it is your win. Which means Travis wins.” Sylvia commented. “That is screwed up! Nothing is gonna stop any of us and you’re gonna tell us it’s over? You must be crazy for making up with these shitty rules, bitch!” Niji claimed, standing over her in a threatening matter. Sylvia blew the whistle loudly at him, making all three Vinsmoke brothers winced at the noise while Sylvia jabs her finger at them. “Rules are rules. You can’t have what you can’t have.” She said. She then turns away and pulls out her camera to immortalize the data. As Sylvia takes photos while she explains about the Germa Kingdom to Travis: “The Vinsmoke clan is a powerful and notorious family of mercenary killers, the royal family of its military branch and underworld army and former conquerors until they were overthrown by the countries. Sanji hails from this family. The Vinsmoke family consists of powerful and capable warriors, the Vinsmoke three sons are military commanders and utterly remorseless bastards that will help the Germa Kingdom conquer the world; Ichiji, Niji and Yonji becoming monstrous regal horrors leaving them with only a tiny shred of humanity. They believe that a proper royal should be a strong and powerful warrior who shouldn't bend down to help commoners as it is beneath their dignity, so they're perfectly fine abusing their servants and soldiers. In the case of Judge's sons, it's justified, they can't understand why abusing their servants and soldiers would be a bad thing. Worse yet, Judge both hammered his beliefs into them and enabled their Royal Brat behavior until they became utter monsters.” Travis pretended to be surprise, “Wow! How pathetic. It’s too bad that you lost to a ‘loser’ like me isn’t it?” He mocked. As Sylvia was bent over to take pictures, Yonji leered over while attempting to touch her thighs and Sylvia whirled around as her heel stomp on his shoe which Yonji lets out a growl. Briar has an impish grin…..More stuff was playing: Sylver felt shadows upon her. “You were a dancer right?” asked Yonji. Sylver rolls her eyes, “I was one earlier.” She retorted. “Really? Wanna show more of that again?” Yonji said. Sylver scoffed with attitude, “Uh, no? I’m tired. Let’s do this some other time, ‘kay? Great. Thanks.” She said. Just then, Niji grabs Sylver by her hair while shouting: “I don’t GIVE A SHIT BITCH!!!” Sylver is thrown in the corner and almost hit the pole but found her balance. The music was being played while Ichiji demanded to her to start dancing on the pole. Reluctantly; Sylver closes her eyes and does a half hearted sway of her hips while dancing on the pole feebly. She heard the brothers snickering. Niji spoke up, "That's right...Keep at it...You know, I always thought you were something...Lying to us when you were playing the little ditzy girl. And then, you try to swing at us with that ax, and the way you took on our father like that was crazy but that whole dance you did changed our minds. And we thought Nami was feisty.” Sylver rolled her eyes. That’s when Yonji slammed his fist on the wall. "COME ON! YOU CALL THAT EXCITING?! HA, COME ON!!! DANCE BETTER!!!" He exclaimed. Sylver felt her vision blur as she angrily kicked those two bastards down and sauntered over to them. She leans in with a smirk. “DANCE TO THIS, TOOL!!!” She exclaimed. She pounced her heeled shoes on their chests hard but not too deep. Ichiji grabbed her and tossed her on the other side of the room. Sylver looked up to see psychotic looks on Niji and Yonji’s faces. “You thought that was funny?” demanded Yonji. “Yeah, hilarious.” Sylver retorted. Niji clenched his fist which was electric sparks coming from it. “You want hilarious? I’ll show you hilarious!” He exclaimed. But all three of them are struck with something that made them feel pain. Sylver is confused and looked to see Beauty is the one responsible. Sylver is astonished that Beauty has shot all three Vinsmoke brothers with a syringe. “Wow! Where'd you learn to do that?” She asked. Beauty smirked and said, “Useless Talent #37. I got that from Planet Terror.” She flexed her fingers while she helps Sylver escaped while Reiju watched them go in amazement…..Sylver wore a red ribbon lace-up corset. There were black flocked rose print panels and solid black ruched panels separated by boning. The deep sweetheart neckline meeting at the opening of the corset where silver tone hook closures hold everything together. Red tank sleeves are worn off the shoulder and wore a green, black, white and blue plaid skirt that has adorable pleats. Sylver playfully swing on the pole and she did some faux moves of her arms behind her as she went down as she threw her hair back in a dramatic fashion and twirl on the pole. Sylver came back up, hands together on the pole and try to look sexy yet mysterious. Niji watched intensely with a demure grin on his face. It was then; Sylver dropped her knees to the floor and her hands to the sky. Sylver tossed her head and bend over backwards while her breasts could be seen but she wasn’t exposed. Sylver was doing more dances as three Vinsmoke brothers were distracted for a moment before they broke into violent tendencies of their battles….Yonji turned and his eyes were in bewilderment at what he was seeing: Sylver climbed the pole while swinging her legs in the process and twirls around it. Sylver lets her chest bounced up for effect, Yonji had a psychotic grin to his face and mauled all the monsters approaching! He realized this while wondering what the hell is going on. During all the battles; Sylver hold onto the pole, she bends down seductively and comes back up while shaking her hips. She has a very impish smile on her lips as she notices Ichiji watching and he was enthralled by her. Sylver grinds her hips against the pole while she clapped her hands to the rhythm. Boy, Niji looked like he couldn’t take anymore of the inflamed performance…..During all the battles; Sylver hold onto the pole, she bends down seductively and comes back up while shaking her hips. She has a very impish smile on her lips as she notices Ichiji watching and he was enthralled by her. Sylver grinds her hips against the pole while she clapped her hands to the rhythm. Boy, Niji looked like he couldn’t take anymore of the inflamed performance…..Yonji, Niji and Ichiji were dealing with a girl who was really Sylver in disguised and were suspicious but Yonji seemed charmed by her Southern Belle toughness. “Nice to see a pretty lady like you around here. You sure you’re not from these parts?” Yonji asked. Sylver shook her head, “Not really, hon.” She said in that Southern Belle accent. She acted like a Southern Belle with a sassy attitude that Yonji becomes fascinated in her. That’s when Yonji, Niji and Ichiji were mocking about Zoro and Sanji while Sylver contained her emotion, she played along with it until Niji lean in close to her while having a hand around her throat. “Do you know Sylver? That psycho of Evermore?” He asked. “I heard of her hon, why do you ask?” Sylver asked. “You’re not her are you?” Niji asked, his voice filled with malice. Sylver laughed, “Oh sugar, ‘course not! What? You think I’m lying?” She joked. Niji places his hand down from her neck and lets this go when the three of them saw agents of Evermore waiting. Yonji, Niji and Ichiji are shocked until Sylver’s Corruptions apprehend them when Sylver revealed herself! She smiled sinisterly, “You didn’t think I was Sylver of Evermore? You were walking with this crazy bitch the entire time mother chuckers!!!” Sylver exclaimed. She has a psychotic look in her eyes while smirking at them…..While singing and swinging the ax; she saw the evil trio of the Vinsmoke Brothers and approached them! “Hey boys, did you miss me?” She purred. They noticed and taunted her. “Well hello beautiful!” Yonji called, wolf whistling. “Where were you hiding? In the asylum?” Niji tantalized. “Someone looks all crazy and pretty, too bad you can’t hold your liquor. You got something up….” Ichiji mocked however Sylver screamed: “I WILL NOT STAND HERE QUIET!!!” Niji laughed while saying, “You hyped up?” He smirked. Sylver holds up the ax to the Vinsmoke trio of brothers while saying, “You can take my heart, my breath, when you pry it from my COLD! DEAD! CHESTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!” She swings the ax at them while chasing them around. She was mad with hysteria of anger and vengeance. “What the hell? Are you this crazy?!” Yonji asked. “Yeah? Wanna get on my level?” Sylver shouted. She continues to swing while laughing madly. Yonji, Ichiji and Niji dodged her but then, her ax grazed at their skins. Yonji has a cut on his cheek, Niji had one on his hand and Ichiji had a cut on his forehead. Sylver swung the ax while crooning to herself. And the recent footage plays: Sylver playfully swing on the pole and she did some faux moves of her arms behind her as she went down as she threw her hair back in a dramatic fashion and twirl on the pole. Sylver came back up, hands together on the pole and try to look sexy yet mysterious. Sylver dropped her knees to the floor and her hands to the sky. Sylver tossed her head and bend over backwards while her breasts could be seen but she wasn’t exposed. Sylver was doing more dances as she climbed the pole while swinging her legs in the process and twirls around it. Sylver lets her chest bounced up for effect. During all the battles; Sylver hold onto the pole, she bends down seductively and comes back up while shaking her hips. She has a very impish smile on her lips as she grinds her hips against the pole while she clapped her hands to the rhythm. The footage ends with an X and a message in red like blood: “I know who you are and I saw what you did.” Meanwhile; Rayna was in downtown and did she window shopping as she admired a pretty dress in the window. When Rayna looked in the reflection of the window, her heart dropped. She turned around and saw a blue haired, slim man. “You sent out that to us, didn’t you? You pretended to be some guy but it was wasn’t it?” Niji growled. Rayna shook her head, “No, I never do that. That’s sick to think…” She started to say however Niji shoved her into the window. “Liar! No one goes against the Vinsmoke family!” He shouted. Rayna pushed him away hard and runs off. She found a ladder to the roof and climbed up. Rayna try to find a way to get into the building and hide but she saw those three coming so she kept running and she reached the ledge as she saw it was a long way down! Rayna lost her balance while she fell but then someone in dark purple came in and saved her. Rayna looked to see a statuesque woman with short black hair and she was gorgeous. Rayna smiled, “And you are…?” The woman smiled modestly, “Merlin. Boar Sin of Gluttony. A pleasure to meet you, Miss Hurst.” She said as she landed on the roof while having Rayna with her. “It seems you boys are barking at the wrong tree.” Merlin scolded. During the battle; Kaede is held hostage by Yonji and Niji as Ichiji threatens to bring great harm to her until Kaede realized those two have powers. She slipped from Yonji’s grasp and touched Niji’s arm. Then, she said: “Henry…NEEDLE!!!!” And shocked him with electric shocks from her. Yonji is stunned, Ichiji couldn’t believe himself either by this sight. Kaede glowed blue while she still felt static shocks through her and incredible strength. “You guys made three mistakes….Mistake number one…You had the wrong hostage. Mistake number two: Your hostage is a Next. And mistake number three…I can copycat anybody’s powers by touch. You picked on people long enough, who’s laughing now?” She grins with excitement, she chased those bastards away until her powers warn off. Thinking quickly; Merlin uses her magic to teleported Rayna, Kaede and herself away from there.
Meanwhile; the Vinsmoke brothers got to meet Tybalt Knox and his own brothers however during the discussion, Tybalt watches a wild and blood thirsty fighter by the name of Dollina ‘Doll’. During the fight; Dollina bites the opponent’s hand off in the process, she bit him so hard that she drew blood, the opponent staggers back and stares at Dollina who licks her lips seductively while smiling. Tybalt felt his smile twisting up, he laughs: “Damn, baby! You got fire power! Not bad!” He retorted. Ichiji was confused, Tybalt gestures over to Dollina to him. “You see that crazy bitch there? That hot blonde is my babe, Dollina Tearle.” He explained. Dollina tossed her head and walked off while the Vinsmoke brothers stared at her. Butch snapped at them to Tybalt, “Don't you wanna ask your new friend to join us?” He asked urgently. Tybalt nodded, “Yeah.” He replied. “Well, then ask her, dumb ass.” Yonji said, gesturing to her. Tybalt grinned, he whistled over to Dollina who walks over. She places her legs over Tybalt seductively, who says: “Come closer, baby~!” Dollina laughs, “Hey Tibby!” She cooed. Dollina begin to pretend to pounce at Yonji and laughed at his surprise. Yonji said, “I don’t want any trouble.” Tybalt mocked him, “You don’t want any trouble?” Dollina jeered at him, “You don’t want me? Fine, don’t waste my time.” She gets up while gesturing with her body, “But you ain’t getting this.” She teased and laughed as she sauntered over. Dollina sits down next to Tybalt. Tybalt pours her a drink. “So Lina…” Niji said. Doll’s smile faded, “It’s Doll.” She said. “Whatever, you’re a pretty girl…” Niji said, laughing. Offended; Dollina pulled out a knife and carved her name on the table, much to their surprise. “D-O-L-L. That’s my name. Don’t wear it out or I’ll make you buy me another one, we clear?” She snapped. Niji was shocked, “Crystal.” He managed to say. “Goodie.” Dollina said leaning back satisfied. In the meantime; Regan and Briar were hanging out. It was then Regan told Briar about her past: She was only about 12 years old where she and her family with her sisters, Hayley and Perdita. It was then on this night would changed everything: There was a hard knock at the door so the girls’ mother, went to go answer it and that’s when it happened: Their mother let out a scream, it was all a blur however all the rest of them were held hostage by Euclid Knox and his family. Apparently; Euclid was supposed to get his money soon by Mr. Pryde but never did. Mr. Pryde claimed that he was going to however he was beaten up by Euclid, who called him a liar. As punishment; his sons—Tybalt, Brodrig, Bevon, Bilal and Butch took a sick interest in Regan, Hayley and Perdita so Euclid let them have their disturbed fun but only if they don’t kill them. Brodrig and Bilal took Perdita while Bevon and Butch took Hayley—both girls were begging and crying as they were being dragged away. It was then Regan realized Tybalt was standing over her, “Get up dollface! Move!” He demanded. Regan slowly rose up for she didn’t have a choice. Bilal grabbed her arm, “Don’t try anything!” He started to growl but Regan pulled away, “GET OFF ME!!! I’M GOING ALL RIGHT?!” She screamed. She glanced at her mother and her father who were torn up but Regan looked upset as she walked down the hall to the study room. The door shut behind her. “Listen doll, like I said--don’t try anything. I’m a boy who just wants to get laid. Now then…Take off your bandages.” Tybalt said. Regan was nervous and she was going to strip them off quickly to get it over with but Tybalt said to her, “Uh-uh. Slowly.” Regan looked at him, “You’re so desperate aren’t you?” She remarked. Then, she heard screaming and Tybalt leered sinisterly: “Looks like they’re having fun.” He said. Painfully upset for her life and her friends; Regan removed her bandages and stood there, her face red with shame. Tybalt’s mouth curved into a smile, “Damn sweetie, you got some scars there. Life’s been good to ya huh?” He retorted. He walked close to her and eyeing her body. Regan felt herself panting a little with anxiety. “Sa matter? You’re not gonna scream on me, are ya?” Tybalt muttered. Regan shook her head, “Mmm—mmm.” She said but felt tears in her eyes streaming down. Regan leaned against the wall, she didn’t want to scream but it hurts by the weapon he used on her. Later; Regan, Hayley and Perdita were brought back in their bloodied clothes while crying however they watched as Euclid murdered the girls’ parents! It was then Hayley lost her shit, she broke free from her torturers and attacked Euclid; pummeling him. She was like a monster, Regan had never seen her like this. Tybalt, Brodrig, Bevon, Bilal and Butch try to stop her however Hayley halted them with her mind controlling powers and said these chilling words: “You said I’m a nobody? Well boys, I’m Hayley Pryde and I’m everything you’re not. It only takes a drop of cruelty to screw up and make her evil. Think twice before you torture a girl like ME!” In modern day; Sylver is at an event where she encounters Dakota and Geary. Dakota approaches her excitedly. “What’s your name? Where you from?” Dakota asked. Sylver was uncomfortable, “A lot of questions.” She retorted. Geary came to the rescue, “Ease up, Nosy Parker. Sorry, I’m Geary and this is my partner in crime Dakota. You are?” He said. Sylver smiled, “Sylver Eden.” She replied. “Sylver Eden? The Alice in Wonderland? Psycho of Evermore? You’re her?” Geary asked, looking stunned. Sylver beamed, “Yup.” She said. However; there was trouble and Sylver hid while the guys had their backs turned. But then, there was a voice that said: “Holy crap! That’s them!” Dakota is confused, “Who’s them?” He asked. “It’s Germa Kingdom’s mercenaries.” Geary muttered but then realized what he just said. Dakota was stunned, he couldn’t believe it. “What did you say?” He rasped. He was shocked to discover the mercenary brothers were behind him and Geary. “G, you gotta be kidding me!” Dakota said. “Kota, no! For argument’s sake….Don’t even!” Geary whispered in a pleading tone. But Dakota took one peek and what he saw spellbound. When Dakota turned around, he felt his heart pumping fast. “That’s….Germa Kingdom’s most dangerous….mercenaries?” He thought. Staring at Niji; Dakota let out a maniacal laugh slowly as Geary was worried about him. Geary turned and saw Yonji as he punched him to the wall. Dakota was surprised, Niji smirked. “You OK G?” Dakota asked. It was then Geary lets out a laugh, “OK? I feel great!” He moaned in ecstasy. He gave Yonji a punch back and caused his arm to have a incision. Geary licking the blood from Yonji's arm, Yonji yelps and pushes him away. “Oh come on, don’t be like that. Don’t worry, I don’t bite too hard.” Geary said. In the meantime; Dakota dodged Niji while laughing in excitement and pounced him. He bites off a chunk of Niji’s skin from his neck. Niji cried in pain, he shoves Dakota away. Dakota laughs, “Playing hard to get?” He joked. All of a sudden; Geary and Dakota both have an X mark on their faces that was a distinctive facial rash across their foreheads and faces. “Shot Like a Rocket Into the Sky, Nothing Can Stop Me Now!” They both cried out. They fought off against the brothers. “How did you…? You’re those berserkers we heard about?!” Yonji cried. Geary smiled while saying, “You can run, and you can hide. But like it or not, I’ll be at your side. Kureto Hiragi is full of dread, for Geary Beck is putting shit in his head. Judge Vinsmoke promises to create the rise of the bloodline – but will he succeed or fall? I’m your follower in the light, yet I’m invisible in the night. I creep, I crawl, and I’m in your walls. So close your eyes and count to ten, better hope you don’t wake up again. Only the brave will survive! I’ll wager with you, I’ll make a bet. The more you deny me, the stronger I get. You start to change when we get in. See our power growing right under your skin. Oh come now! Come one, come all, come see what’s underneath!” However Ichiji faced him and was going to make sure he wouldn’t succeed. “You won’t last long.” Ichiji said. Just then….“GENTLEMEN! What’s going on here?” A voice demanded. Heads turned. “Who’s this?!” Niji demanded. “Why, I'm Benjamin Hallows, the door isn't built yet to hold me back.” Benjamin said. Sylver squealed and wraps her arms around him while liplock kissing for a moment. She stole a glance at Niji and smirked, Niji was outraged. “You have someone in your life?!” Niji demanded. Sylver leered, “Sorry Niji, you may be good looking but you’re not a piece of art.” She replied. “Well, that just breaks my heart.” Niji growled. A gun was placed at his head, “Anything else that could break?” Niji turned to see Ganymede, “You?! I should’ve known…” He said. “My name is Ganymede Henshaw so don’t forget it!” Ganymede said however he was punched in the stomach and fell down. Ganymede was held at his will but he was calm when he looked up and grinned. “My girlfriend’s here!” Ganymede exclaimed. The three Vinsmoke brothers turns around, what they saw horrified them. “Rosemary--!?” Niji exclaimed. “Pansy…” Yonji huffed. “Stephanie!” grunted Ichiji. The three Fury sisters sauntered in line. “Hiya boys~!” Pansy called in a sing song tone. “What’s a bunch of good looking baddies like you doing in a place like this?” Stephanie purred. “Keep your mitts off my boy!!!!” Rosemary exclaimed, using her telekinesis to bring the three of them apart and away from Ganymede. Rosemary squealed, she embraced Ganymede and gave him a quick liplock before she hugged him. “You clever minx! How did you get here Gany?” Rosemary cooed. Ganymede smiled at her, “Briar helped me out, but then these creeps got me on the ropes. Blue guy and Green guy were gonna rip my eyes out.” He explained as he pointed over to Niji and Yonji. Rosemary pretend to pout, “Aww, that’s not nice.” She said. She kissed Ganymede on the neck while she caused him to moan. “It seems we haven’t taught you boys to know your place so….Welcome back Vinsmoke....to the Fury Family! I think it's time to reconfirm our hierarchy.” Rosemary said after she gently placed Ganymede on the side while facing them. Ichiji is horrified, “No….not again…” He begged. However, Rosemary is distracted and cocked her head. “Who are you?” She called. The woman and the girl approached. The woman then exclaimed, “My name….!!!! Is Delphina…And this is my daughter Lacey.” She introduced her daughter. Lacey waved with a toothy grin before she pretends to be snobby. “And we’re here to take you out.” Delphina said. “It’s you.” Yonji growled. Lacey turns while she batted her eyes. “Hello, we meet again.” She replied. She pulls out her reliquary and summons her Corruptions. Sylver is stunned however Delphina approached her. “Are you Miss Eden?” She asked. “Yes ma’m.” Sylver replied politely. “Here, come by my house. Let’s get somewhere comfortable, shall we?” Delphina said with a wink and off they went! Later; Sylver meets with Delphina in the courtyard and there she learns from her that she is her mother. Her name was Delphina Eden! Lacey’s full name is Lacey Eden! What’s even more Sylver Eden is the heiress to the city of Dopple Walker. Angry; Sylver refuses Delphina’s prophecy and leaves however Briar learns about this and knows Delphina has been through a lot. So they both talked to Sylver: Sylver believes Delphina wants her out of Evermore but Delphina is not doing that, she heard of good things about Evermore and the agents. “Please Sylver, just give this a chance. Do it for you dreams, for your friends, for me. Please?” Briar begged. Sylver thought back about how Briar believed in her so she decided to do so and they all worked out a plan. In the meantime; Travis had finished an exciting story but yawned. “OK, that’s enough. Now, get to bed.” He said. “Come on, Travis! Tell that story one more time! Please?” Yuu begged. “Naw Hyakuya, I’m exhausted. Just get some sleep.” Travis groaned. “But I love it, how the enemy had you on the ropes and…and…you turn the tables…” Yuu ranted. Travis give him a death stare, “Hyakuya, I’m glad you liked that story but I need sleep so I’ll tell you more about it in the morning. Good night!” Yuu pouted and his mood dampen however he smiled as he thought about the story before he drifted to sleep. Dark at night while everyone slept; Sanji was taking a walk by the beach, hearing the waves of the ocean when he thought he heard singing. He followed the voice to a lighthouse and entered to see a girl singing. He tried to communicate to the girl but she runs away terrified, “Wait! I don’t want to hurt you! Come back!” Sanji called. But it was too late, she was gone! In the meantime; C2 encounters Niji and Yonji as she was about to use her powers but then her Geass mark on her forehead begin to glow, she felt pain and dropped to the ground. Niji demands answers however C2’s Geass mark caused those two to go crazy, however Chloe and the rest helped C2 escape from them while the Germa 66 and Reiju rescued Niji and Yonji. The next morning, Sanji and Ban surprised C2 with pizza that they made from a recipe given to them by Lelouch! C2 tries it and it is good, she cries tears of joy as she says: “That idiot…I’d never asked him to do this for me….” She was so moved that she tells everyone her real name which shocks them and praised her for how amazing her name is. Meanwhile; Mephisto, Amaimon, Reiner, Nora, Zackly and the other villains were complaining in a private meeting about how cruel the Vinsmoke family and Kureto Hiragi. They were upset over how they humiliated them and bullied them, even Mephisto was called a ‘failure’ as a son of the Devil for one idea that was laughed at. Little did they know, Reiju was listening in and felt bad for them, despite being evil, they didn’t deserve this treatment. In the meantime; Sylver is singing to herself: “Twinkle, twinkle little bat. How I wonder where you’re at. Up up up the world you fly, like a tea tray in the sky….When the Red Queen loses her head, when the Cheshire Cat comes upon us all. Then it shows how mad we are, twinkle twinkle all those tears…Then the White Queen on the throne, thanks you for the war to end. She did not know which soldier to choose, if she knew she was gonna lose…Though I don’t know who you are, twinkle twinkle little bat….I’m a little dormouse, sleep as heck. Here are my riddles, here is my tail. What I say in my sleep is nonsense. Put me in the pot and let me rot….The futsy, putsy birdy was laying her blue eggs; here comes a giantess and the birdy squawks for help. She said it’s a serpent but she’s sadly mistaken! And the futsy, putsy birdy went back to laying her eggs….Ring around the Mushroom, pocketful of sweet treats. Eat me, drink me, don’t know which one…. Ring around the Mushroom, what do you suppose we can do about the Bandersnatch in which we die?....Ring around the Mushroom, the Jabberwocky---he knows me. Flowers surround me, I can’t escape…I am the Walrus, I am the Carpenter and we killed a bunch of oysters. The time has come to butcher all the clams in the sea, that time has come now!....Here comes the Turtle, crying his eyes out. Why couldn’t he join the dance my dear? They mocked him, he wasn’t comforted and thus the Mock Turtle cried his eyes out….Can you see me? Can you see me? Cheshire Cat, Cheshire Cat. Lost in the wilderness, lost in the wilderness. We’re all mad, we’re all mad…The duchess had a cute baby, cute baby, cute baby. The duchess had a cute baby and abuses that poor kid. She throws that little infant boy, that little infant boy, that little infant boy. She throws that little infant boy for being so darn loud! The baby turns into a little pig, a little pig, a little pig. The baby turns into a little pig for it is cursed! The duchess is an ugly hag, ugly hag, ugly hag. The duchess is an ugly hag and doesn’t give a darn!...God save us from the Queen, sweet mercy from our vicious queen. O thee to be! Witness the heads that roll, madness bloody undertone. All tyranny we fear of her, her death is to be burned. Her reign is a wrath to us, down the Evil Queen….Into the streets, we're coming down. We never sleep, never get tired. Through urban fields, and suburban life…Turn the crowd up now, we'll never back down. Shoot down a skyline, watch it in prime time. Turn up the love now, listen up now, turn up the love…Who's gonna save the world tonight? Who's gonna bring you back to life? We're gonna make it, you and I…We're gonna save the world tonight!....When the night become the day, they're sending you far away….So, so far away….When everything start to fade…You don't have to be afraid…No you don't have to be afraid…Take my hand and…Reload! This is free love, that's what we are made of. Yes we are, are, are! Reload! This is free love! That's what we are made of! Yes we are, are, are…..I'm gonna hit the Lotto, I'm gonna place my bet on every step I take. Go tell everyone under the sun, I'm on my way. And if I hit rock bottom, I'm gonna smile and dance with every step I take. Go tell everyone under the sun, I'm on my way! On my way! I'm on my way! On my way!” For the meantime; Chloe remembered how she put her trust in Barnaby: Thinking of her fears; Chloe thought, "How can I face my fears when I struggle to fight? How far can I go before reaching my limit?" An Infestation is about to pounce her until someone hold it back. Chloe looked to see who it was--It was a figure in a jumpsuit made from spandex and a trench-coat. He wore a robotic-like suit! But Chloe could see his face--He was a pretty face, absolutely gorgeous. "What a cutie." Chloe thought, but shakes her head. "Stop Chloe, focus! Concentrate." She told herself inside her mind. To this strange, beautiful rescuer she said, "No way. Who the hell are you?" The hero turn to her and said, "The guy that saved your life." Chloe blushes. "Um, thank you." Chloe replied, it sounded confused like a question. She seemed interested in this guy, "So...One superhero to another, who are you?" She inquired. "Barnaby. Just Barnaby." said the guy. "Barnaby.." Chloe said, that name gave her chills, "Wait! Do you have a secret identity?" She asked. "Don't have one." said Barnaby. "Oh crap! Why am I getting all shivering about?" She thought. "By any chance, are you aware of the circumstances?" Barnaby asked. "You got some sponsor?" Chloe was perplexed, "Um, what now?" She inquired. It was beyond her belief when she learnt about HeroTV. "UGH! Sylver, I am going to rip you apart, you maniac pixie dream girl with a mad crazy, fantasist complex! You totally went out of your head! I'm getting her for this. One day!" Chloe said to herself. However she was faced with the Wendigos and fought them with help from her dark powers. She smiled at her victory, "Yes! I feel good--almost as I did before!" Chloe said to herself. Just then, she heard from someone behind her. She turned and saw Barnaby applauding, "Huh? Have you been there the whole time?" asked Chloe. "Well, well. You're not so weak after all." said Barnaby. Chloe shrugged, "Just suffered a setback for a moment." She replied. "Hm. Tell me, who are you Black Rose?" Barnaby inquired. "Me? I'm just a naive young girl who fell from the eye of the storm, walking down the yellow brick road in order to face the Wicked Witch of the West and the flying monkeys." Chloe grinned and felt herself embarrassed. The hell was she thinking? "Ah, Wizard of Oz huh? You look like someone trying to find her white rabbit but ends up facing the Queen's deck of cards." Barnaby remarked. "OK, I don't need a pretty faced, no secret identity man's help." said Chloe. She went away but she was surprised attack until Barnaby came to the rescue. Chloe almost fell but Barnaby swooped down and carried her in his arms like a groom carrying his bride. Chloe looked up at him as Barnaby smiled at her, "So, does the girl still doesn't need help from the 'pretty faced, no secret identity man'?" He teased. Chloe rolled her eyes and muttered, "Oh brother!" but she moaned out loud, "OK, fine! Yes, please." So the two of them worked together to fight off the monsters. Later, Briar and Kotetsu were attending some sort of the arrival of Barnaby Brooks Jr. "So, I get to meet the infamous Barnaby huh." Briar said. Kotetsu looked annoyed but he smiled, "Yeah but don't get too excited." He warned. Briar look confused, "Why would I?" She asked. Just then, a familiar voice called out: "Hey, what's going on?" Briar turned around eagerly, "Chloe! Where have you been?" She asked. Eulalie shrugged, "Oh, I've been around and about." She claimed. Briar nodded and made the introduction: "Kotetsu, this is my friend Chloe. Chloe? This is Kotetsu Kaburagi." Kotetsu held out his hand, "What's up?" He said. Chloe took his hand and shook it, "Hi." She said. Then; Chloe learned what was going on: "Oh, wait a minute. Some of those intellectual snobs are coming here? Great, those spoiled richly and trashy people who are nothing but insolent, arrogant, insufferably, imprudent bastards that are--" She ranted. But when she saw who it was, she stopped and ended it by saying, "--So hot!" His hair is sandy blonde, his eyes are hazel, and lightest pinkish white skin that was beloved. Barnaby was wearing a red garment covered his torso and arms, which was called a pullover and skinny fit jeans of the color dark indigo wash. Chloe squinted her eyes at Barnaby and then her eyes widened in amazement, "Wait, it's him!" She thought. "Oh man, do I look OK? Where's my stuff?" said Chloe. She rummaging as she was talking to herself, "Hm, hm, hm...." Just then, she heard a familiar voice: "Hey there, need a hand?" Chloe was so startled that she dropped her things and looked to grin nervously at him, "Help? Me? Like hell, heh heh...Um, this is Briar Devlin." She said. However she saw her stuff on the ground, "Excuse me." Barnaby looked at her and he heard a female's voice, "Hi, Barnaby? I'm Briar." said Briar. Barnaby shake her hand, "Charmed." He said. "Good seeing you, Bunny." Kotetsu greeted his friend. Barnaby nodded at his friend with a grin back, "You too, Kotetsu." He said. "Your friend OK?" Barnaby asked, looking over at klutzy Chloe. Briar nodded, "Yeah...I guess." She said. Barnaby excused himself and came to Chloe's aid: "Need some help?" "I got it." Chloe claimed, a little embarrassed. Chloe was scrambling around her as she try to get the rest of her papers, but she accidentally touched Barnaby's hand. Blushing; she moved her hand away and try to not breathe out a gasp. "So, you're Black Rose's sponsor?" Barnaby asked. Chloe shyly looked at him, "Oh yeah, she's pretty much of a sweet disaster ain't she?" She ranted. Barnaby leaned over at her, "Sweet disaster is the perfect definition for Black Rose." He remarked. Eulalie managed to squeak out a reply, "So true." Why was not Kotetsu surprised, he knew this was coming. "Oh boy." He said. Briar looks at him, "He charms almost every girl?" She asked. Kotetsu smirked at her pathetically, "You have no idea." He said. Briar had to suppressed a giggle. Later, it was all that Kotetsu and Barnaby could talk about. "Morning Star...Black Rose...They seem new, how come I never heard of them?" Barnaby asked. He and Kotetsu were walking together as Barnaby was niggled by these heroines. Kotetsu shrugged, "They must be rookies, kind of like how you were." He said. Barnaby crossed his arms in irritation, "Yeah, if rookie was the right word. It's not every day we get a brand of newbies for HeroTV. They don’t seem like NEXT." He said, he had a suspicious look in his eye. Kotetsu soon noticed this, "C'mon Bunny, give them a chance. Just don't do something crazy." He warned. Barnaby looked at him, "Like what?" He asked. Kotetsu replied back, "Go off the deep end?" While working; Chloe was attacked by Infestations and couldn't use her powers however she wouldn't not have to wait for long. The Infestations were distracted by a sound as they went away and Chloe went to hide. However; she heard footsteps but she was so scared as she try to stiff up. Then heard something else that was familiar to her. "Let's see what's behind curtain number three?" Kotetsu said, pulling back the curtain. Chloe stumbles over, "Ack! Oh, hi there...B—b--Barnaby, um lovely day we're having huh?" She stuttered. Barnaby looked over at her, "Looks like you're holding up pretty well." He said. Chloe looked up at him, "Yeah, and so are you." She said. "Yeah." Kotetsu said with a nod. Realizing what she said; Chloe was flushng red. "Oh, wait a minute! That came out wrong, heh." She said. "You could use a break, maybe go out with me?" Barnaby said. Chloe looked at him in disbelief, "Now? Tonight? Oh no, I couldn't! I mean, I wish I could but I--" She try to explain however Barnaby smiled at her. Chloe is shocked but she says, "OK, Done deal." Later on in this so-called date; Chloe was laughing as Barnaby was chuckling. "You're kidding, are you serious?" Chloe asked. "Just something weird." assured Barnaby. "Dude, you rock my socks!" Chloe complimented. She had to sit for a smile for a moment, Barnaby sat next to her. "So, what about you, do you have any qualms?" He asked, Chloe was feeling nervous. "Qualms? No I um--" She try to say. "How about hobbies?" Barnaby continued. Chloe was lost for words for a moment, "Um, uh hobbies? No..." She replied. "No pet peeves? No favorites?" Barnaby said. Chloe swallowed, "Ulp!" then she responds with, "I like--poetry...spring! An--an--and..." Then she managed to blurt out, "And life!" She managed to stand up and hurry away from him. Curious; Barnaby looked at her, "You are interesting, Chloe Birchhart." He remarked. Chloe smiled back at him, "Thanks." She was about to skip away however she stumbled and fell on a bush, "Oh--! Ack!" Barnaby look at her with surprise, "You OK?" Chloe was sitting in a flower bush, "No." She said. Barnaby was trying to laugh however he admits, "You look better that way." Chloe glared at him, "Very funny." She snapped. "No, the flowers make you look prettier." Barnaby said. Chloe blushed, smiling a little and the two of them laugh. However Barnaby got a communication; "Sorry to break this off but I--" he said but he noticed that Chloe was gone and he went away. Later on; Chloe was at an internet cafe with the MPD as she researches on Barnaby: He was born from an intellectual yet wealthy and kind family but they were tragically killed by a monster name Maverick. Maverick messed with Vincent emotionally and mentally while causing Barnaby to go crazy. Thankfully, Barnaby was snapped back into reality of Kotetsu’s partnership, his concern helped his partner out. Chloe is shocked of what she discovered and decides to investigate at his place. There she is attacked by a bunch of Infestations and knocked out. The Infestations were about to prey upon her when they all are knocked out at once. The person responsible was Barnaby! "Silly girl, do you think you could fool me that easily?" Vincent snapped. After a while; Vincent listened to softened opera singing in the background; he glance over at Eulalie, who was still unconscious, on the sofa and Barnaby was then examining her. "Cynical girls done their homework, do they...Chloe?" Barnaby said, "Black rose...dark angel...You sneaky girl. What are you really? Orphan? Runaway? A pure maiden? A rich girl in poverty? Maybe you're like me, you were shocked over the death of your parents and a monster tormented you until you couldn't take it anymore and wanted to pull the trigger on yourself." He start to trace her lips with his index finger gently, "I know you're no sponsor nor a superheroine or even born from Sternbild City or just moved here. I said this before...and I'll say it again...Whatever you're hiding, I'm going to find out soon enough." Barnaby continued. He was grazing her cheek with his knuckles. Then he noticed the bite mark of the Infestation on her neck, "What is that?" He thought. Barnaby glanced at her, "Well, well, well....What a tangled web you weaved. How much lies do you have for me, Black Rose?" He said, "You certainly bloom haven't you Black Rose?" In the sunny morning of a new day; Chloe stirred and felt someone next to her. She woke up slowly to see someone as it was Barnaby, "Morning sleepyhead." Barnaby greeted. Chloe looked at him and yawned while stretching, she looked around the room: "Huh? Hmm...." She said but when Chloe realized where she was, she started to freak out. "OH MY GOD!!!!!" She screamed and flustered and thrashed about violently until Vincent seized her shoulders, "Will you relax? You're gonna cause someone to call the police, I’m not here to hurt you!" He said. Chloe looked shameful, "Sorry!" She said. Barnaby leaned back to look over at her, "So, you're Black Rose." He said. Chloe looked at him, "...Yes." She responded. "Knew it." Barnaby said with a grin. Chloe blushes, "No need to rub it in, huh?" She said. "No." Barnaby said. Chloe was getting irritated, "Why did you save me? If you want to expose me as a fraud, then do it!" She demanded. Barnaby looked at her, he then shook his head and responded: "No, that wouldn't be right of me to do so." Chloe felt her body go cold. "Why?" She asked, looking at him with disbelief, Barnaby held up the MPD: "Because I took at this device....MPD, is that's what it's called?....It showed me your past and I think you and I are almost similar. Guess we both hate psychos but unlike you, I couldn't run away. Anything I can do for you, I'll be glad to have help out." He explained. Chloe is touched, "Thank you, I'm amazed." She admitted. In the present; Sylver sneaks towards the villains’ hideout and spied on them as she uses her MPD and got clear, perfect shots of Kureto Hiragi with the Vinsmoke family. Sylver almost screamed but it came out as a soft, squeal-like gasp. “I knew it!!!!” She rasped excitedly. And took the picture. Sylver giggled with glee as she managed to get away. Afterwards, Sylver showed the pictures to Briar who is shocked. “You are so bad.” She said. “But it feels so good~!” Sylver squealed, “You know, I hate sleazy yet sadistic journalists and reporters who want to ruin innocent lives of such celebrities and other people however I’m doing this against evil war-machines and domineering bastards!” Sylver let out a maniacal laugh as she was going to broadcast this over tomorrow’s tabloid and boy, it was going to make headlines for sure! The next day; Judge was tense however Reiju noticed something slipped in the slot of the door and goes to the door to see. She finds an enveloped folder and picks it up, she opened it and what she saw she could not comprehend: Reiju returned to hand her father who asked, “What is it?” Reiju sighed, “There’s something in there you have to see.” She admitted. Judge Vinsmoke took the folder and looked in it to see photos of their meeting with Kureto Hiragi and Aoi Sangu on the front page of the tabloids! Judge was fuming with anger and turned to his daughter in a scary voice: “Get your brothers, get Kureto Hiragi…I want everyone here IMMEDIATELY!!!” So, there was a meeting going on between Hiragi and Vinsmoke as Sylver watched this with the MPD in sadistic pleasure. However; Hiragi believes Judge snitched on Evermore, Judge is appalled and claims that he’s telling the truth. Kureto instructed his soldiers to cuff Niji and Yonji iron cuffs as they did so, surprising the two in the process. Judge, Reiju and Ichiji are shocked by this. Judge demands to know what’s going on, Kureto tells him: “You will only speak the truth, deceive me and your sons will suffer something greater close to death.” Judge Vinsmoke was shocked, “You wouldn’t! Those are my sons!” He claimed. Kureto has reports that Judge Vinsmoke had been forced with information given to by someone. Confused; Judge begged Kureto he has no knowledge, but Kureto thinks he’s lying as he instructs his men, “Do it.” The iron cuff causes the wrists to be sliced open with intense burning pain. That’s exactly what happened to Yonji as he howled in agony. Reiju is appalled, Ichiji was in dismay. “Stop it, he’s my youngest son.” Whimpered Judge Vinsmoke. “Then answer me truthfully, Your Majesty.” Kureto stipulated. “I am!!!! I have not betrayed anyone of giving information to the enemy!” Judge cried. Kureto stared at him and then commanded to his other guard, “Do it once more to the other.” The cuff causes Niji’s wrists to be sliced open with intense burning pain. He screamed, groaning by the cuff. Kureto continued with the reports as Judge Vinsmoke was under a trance and then, Judge suddenly remembered when Kureto said this and he tells the truth. Once Kureto learns what happened; he allows Aoi to give out the command to release Niji and Yonji. Watching all this, Sylver almost feels sorry for Judge who wept for his sons however she still thought all of them were scum…Even Kureto Hiragi!
