Chapter 127:
Dark Heart Desires, Part 2.
Dorminoss: Kuyaykyu: Sagittarius City.
Theme: My Destiny | Kamen Rider Ex Aid OST
- Raven is free.......Raven is free.......And Zack is dead......Zack is dead........Robin thought to himself with a distant look in his eyes and a melancholic look on his face as he and Craig wandered through Sagittarius City. They were heading back to The Skypiercer in a solemn silence. Both of them lost in thought as they walked almost aimlessly across the streets.
- Zack is dead.....Robin said in a low voice to himself as he lowered his head, his hair cascading down over his eyes as his hearts clenched tightly in his chests.
- Hey, Robin? Craig asked after a moment that felt forever but in reality was just a few seconds.
- Zack is dead. Robin repeated to himself as he blinked back his tears at the call of his name.
- Robin? Craig asked in a concerned and worried voice as he turned his head towards Robin and gave him a look hidden by his black glasses.
- Yes? Robin responded absently as he blinked back his melancholy and plastered on a small, gentle smile as he turned towards his secret keeping friend.
- How do you think Raven escaped? I mean........He is a part of you....An aspect of your personality....Or was, at least. Now that he is free, I don't know what to qualify him as anymore. Craig said in a confused and befuddled voice as he raised an eyebrow at Robin before turning away from him and scratching his head in frustration.
- I don't know......I don't know how either......And I don't know what to call him either. Robin said with a sigh of frustration and aggravation as he and Craig shared each other's frustrations and confusion over what they had just witnessed. Because what they saw, an aspect of a personality like Raven freely roaming the world at large should be impossible. Even in a world like Ideaum.
- I did a quick scan of his body before he fled the scene....Craig said in a low voice as he put his hands in his pockets as the readouts appeared before his eyes.
- And? Robin asked as he turned towards Craig, hoping to get some light shone on the mystery of Raven's sudden freedom.
- His body had no bones. Craig said in a low and worried voice as Robin came to a stop. Wide-eyed as he stared ahead of him before he slowly turned his head towards Craig.
- A Flesh Duplicate Body. Robin said in a low voice of realization as the dots began to connect.
Now he started understanding why his hair remained black when Yao had managed to make him snap back to himself after he lost himself to his darkness and Raven.
Because with him losing himself to the dark deeps of his mind, he had allowed Raven to completely connect and fully bond with the hollow body to housed his mind. His mind left the Flesh Duplicate, but Raven remained behind.
THAT was why he had not heard Raven whisper in the back of his head ever since he awoke in Sector 5.
Raven being free after remaining in the abandoned remains of his fake body and leaving very of himself behind in Robin's head explained a lot of things.
- Yes. I thought so too. Craig said in a low voice as he watched Robin hurry to catch up to him again as Robin was clearly caught up in the ramifications of their realization.
- His body certainly has the composition of a fake body. No bones, no organs. Nothing. But the groundwork for them and all the other organs that a body like yours and thereby his would need to survive as an actual being are there. Craig said in a low and thoughtful voice they slowly walked through the city, side by side.
- That would explain why he needed a Heart. And why he wants to become whole. Become Complete, as he said it. Craig continued as he put a hand to his chin in thought as Robin lowered his head.
- When we were on Elementaria, Raven told Antz-o-in and anyone that would listen that he needed a Dark Heart. He said that if he got his hands on a Dark Heart, he could use it to free himself from me. That he could use the Dark Heart that he had obtained to get his own heart and thereby become a real being. A real individual. With a heart as dark as himself. And now he has not only managed to escape from the constraints of my own mind, but he has also managed to get his hands on a Dark Heart to boot. Robin admitted with a tired sigh of foreboding, remorseful and defeated voice as he turned his head towards the painfully blue sky above them.
- That explains a lot. Craig said in an understated voice as he turned his head back towards Robin as Robin watched the clouds pass above them.
- Yeah. Robin said as he let out a huff of air as he turned his head back to the street before them.
- You know, we could have helped you from keeping at least some of this from happening if you had told us that he wanted to become his own individual. It would have at least made me less confused about why you were panicking so much before. And why you didn't want him to kill Quandro all of a sudden. Craig said with a snide smile quirking his lips as he turned towards Robin again.
- Yeah. You're right. I guess I should have told you sooner. I......I just didn't know what to think of that myself. And then EVERYTHING happened between then and now. And now here we are. With Raven on the loose, without a clue where he is and him having all the parts necessary to become as real of a being as you and me. Robin said with a defeated sigh as he gave Craig a melancholy smile.
- Yes. You're right. A LOT has happened since Raven apparently let his desire to become a real person slip. Craig said with a sardonic smile on his face and a mirthless chuckle as he did not even want to try to process everything that had happened in the time since Robin and Antz-o-in had fled Oom-Baan-Diin to escape 1. A LOT has happened since then. A LOT!
- He is You and You are Him. Two sides of the same coin. One man wishing that life was a dream. And another one dreaming of having a real life. Craig said in a low, thoughtful and considerate voice as he turned around and gave Robin a long look.
- What? Robin said in a befuddled voice at Craig's words.
- Nothing. Nothing...Craig said with a mysterious grin on his face.
- Shut up. What makes you even say something like that? Even with a stolen heart in his chest and all the organs necessary to pretend to be alive, he still will be nothing but a hollow imitation of both me and a living being. Raven is an aspect of me. He is my flip side. The dark side of my personality. That is what he is and he will always be. Not a living person. Just another part of me. Robin said dismissively in a cold and dark voice as he gave Craig a vehemently irritated glare.
- Woho there! Easy there big boy. Craig said in a playful surrender as he raised his hands and took a few cautious steps away from Robin as he continued glaring at him.
- Raven is a part of me. And he will always be a part of me. No matter what he does. And no matter what he thinks of himself. That is the truth of the matter. He is a part of me. Nothing more, and nothing less. He is not a living person. Just a construct of my own mind to represent my darker thoughts and impulses, as well as the dark side of my personality. Robin said in a firm in a clear and cold dismissal, a dark expression on his face.
- You know, it is probably your insistent denial of him and your inner darkness that has allowed him to grow as strong as he has. And probably the reason why he wants to become real. Because you don't see him as real, and that is what he wants. Acknowledgement. Acknowledgement that he is real. That he is a real life being. That he is just as alive as you and me. Craig said philosophically with a sage-like smile on his face.
- I said Shut Up, didn't I? Just drop it already, okay? Raven is not a living being. And he never will be, nor shall he ever be considered as such. He is the voice whispering dark deeds in the back of my head given life and a personality. Nothing else. A construct of my mind to be dismissed and vanquished back into the dark reaches of my mind where he belongs. Robin said coldly in a dark voice as he all but growled at Craig as he turned away from him and focused his attention on the approaching Skypiercer.
- Okay okay okay. I get it. I get it! Just keep on denying him if you oh so wish to. Just know that as long as you deny that he is real, the more he will want to become real just to prove you wrong. Craig said as he passive-aggressively admitted defeat.
Robin gave him a frustrated huff and turned all of his attention forward.
Even from where they were, they could hear the shouting, jeering, and yelling of the angry mob gathered in front of the former hotel.
Dorminoss: Kuyaykyu: Sagittarius City: The Skypiercer.
- That can't be good. Craig said in an unnerved voice as he and Robin slowly walked across the street towards the back end of the mob.
Craig winched and grimaced at the words that the mob was throwing around.
The people of the city were not happy.
Not in the least.
- Today was not a good day for this city. Craig noted dismally as Robin noted that the crowd had gotten bigger since he and Zack left for Exit/Antz-o-in earlier in the day.
- It usually is. Robin noted dryly as he made his way across the street and to the end of the crowd.
- Out of my way. Robin said in a low, threatening grunt.
The next second, the crowd was filled with screams as people were flung through the air and hurled across the street and out of Robin's way as he blasted them all to the side around him with a repulsing blast of force around him.
People stopped yelling and jeering as they turned towards him in surprise, only to be thrown back and away from him if they were to close to him as he made his way through the parting crowd.
Robin knew that this time, the people would much rather attack him then part ways around him. They were to riled up to do the latter and the destruction and chaos caused by the battles in the city had made them more inclined for the former. That was why Robin just split the crowd right open down the middle and made his way through himself.
The people looked at him in shock and horror as they caught the ones flying and helped the fallen ones up into the air.
But before they could do anything else but look at him in terror, or verbally assault him, he had already walked past them.
Craig, seeing Robin's actions as just fanning their flames hurried after him, a grim and worried expression on his face.
This was not how one handled a delicate situation as this.
And soon enough, he caught up to Robin as he practically plowed a wide path through the large crowd and made his way to the entrance of The Skypiercer.
Once there, he did not even stop for a second to turn around to make sure that Craig kept up with him as the crowd started murmuring and muttering behind his back.
Then Robin suddenly did turn around with a whirl, a dark expression on his face.
But he didn't do a single thing but giving them all the darkest look imaginable.
- There will be a lot worse than a simple push coming for the fool that tries anything else but standing here and shouting ineffective obscenities at a dead building. Robin threatened frigidly as he slowly looked each and every one of the hundreds of people gathered before The Skypiercer in the eyes.
Craig grimaced beside him.
Was he even aware that he practically doused their flames in oil?
He practically invited them to attack with a threat like that.
Because that was not a warning, that was a threat. No doubt about that.
- Have a good day. Robin said coldly as he turned around and walked through the doors of The Skypiercer that closed behind him.
The next second, Craig hurried after him.
- Was all that really necessary? Craig said in a worried tone as he caught up to Robin as he made his way to the elevator that was connected to the main headquarters of The Eclipse.
- It wouldn't have mattered what I said or did. Those people are set in their ways. They have made up their mind. No matter what I did, they would have viewed me as the villain of the situation. Robin said as he walked up to the middle elevator and pushed the call button.
- Proving their assumptions right instead of wrong doesn't help the situation either. Craig said in a frustrated and irritated voice.
- As I said, no matter what I did, it wouldn't matter. Robin said casually as the elevator pinged before the golden doors opened.
Then the two stepped in, with Craig pulling out his Eclipse Identification Globe, opened the secret compartment of the control panel. He then shoved the sphere in place and went through the identification procedure as the door closed to the elevator.
A moment later, five new buttons appeared on the floor panel and Robin hit the button that would take them to the lowest floor of The Eclipse's Headquarters in Sagittarius City.
And as the elevator dinged and pinged, silence fell over the elevator as Craig removed the sun/moon sphere and put in his pocket again.
- I'm sorry that I was too late to save Zack. Craig said in a low and remorseful voice as Robin went rigid at his words.
Robin didn't say a single word during the whole elevator ride.
Dorminoss: Kuyaykyu: Sagittarius City: The Skypiercer: Eclipse Headquarters: First Floor.
Robin was silent as he walked out of the golden doors of the elevator and emerged in a corridor behind the staircase up to the other levels of the base.
Craig followed silently behind him as the doors closed behind the two of them.
They could hear the others talking near the pool board.
Stepping around the corner and around the bar, that was exactly where the others were.
Zaram, Sam, and Axel were standing around the pool table, discussing something in serious voices with another man.
There was respect in all their voices as they spoke.
But the moment that they rounded the bar, the three stopped talking to the unseen man.
- Hey, look whose' back. Zaram said with a fanged smile as he grabbed a pool pin and punted down one of Alex's balls into a hole.
- Hey! That's cheating! Alex yelled in a frustrated voice as he turned away from Robin and Craig to glare at Zaram.
- You snooze you lose. Zaram said apathetically with a crooked smile filled with serrated fangs.
- Welcome back, Robin. And Craig. We were told that you would be coming. Sam greeted in a friendly and kind voice as she waved them both a friendly hello.
But as they approached, all three's smiles dropped.
- Wait......Zaram said in a low, confused voice when he noticed that something wasn't quite right with the picture that the two presented.
There were only two of them. Not three.
Where was the third?
- Where's Zack? Alex asked in a serious voice, dreading the answer that he feared that he already knew.
Robin went rigid where he stood frozen at Alex's words.
Theme: Bionicle Mata Nui saga music
- Zack is dead. Robin stated in a voice of heartbroken gasps.
Eyes went wide, pool sticks were dropped as gasps rang through the air.
The game was forgotten as hearts broke and shattered to pieces.
- No......Sam said in a low voice, her hands flying to her mouth, her eyes wide with horror.
- By The Father.......May he rest in peace. Alex said as he closed his eyes and bowed his head in sorrow.
- Tcchhheeee.......Zaram hissed out through gnashed fangs as he closed his eyes and lowered his head.
- How.....How did he die? Sam asked in a low voice.
Robin didn't say a word. Conflict clear in his eyes and a torn expression on his face.
- Was it Exit? Alex asked when Robin did not respond.
- Was it? Sam asked in a low, considerate voice.
Robin turned towards her, a torn look in his eyes and a conflicted expression on his face, even as he did not say a word to her.
- Tell us! Tell us, Robin! Tell us who the fucker was that did our own bastard in!! Zaram demanded as he slammed a black veined hand into the pool table, a furious expression and broken expression on his face.
- No. It wasn't Exit that killed him. Robin said after a long moment of silence.
- Then who was it, Robin? Alex demanded in a firm voice.
- Yes! Tell us! Tell us the bastards name so we know who kill in Zack's glorious name! Zaram yelled as he thrust his red-skinned hand into the air, a feral grin on his face.
- It was someone called Lancer. He appeared right in the middle of mine and Zack's battle with Exit. He said he was going to protect Exit with his life. And he was fully willing to take someone's life to do it. And he was fully capable of doing so. Zack died taking an attack meant to kill either me or us both. I would have been dead if he had not sacrificed himself. Either that, or we both would have been dead. Robin said in a low, firm voice, his eyes never leaving Sam as she, Alex and Zaram listened to him with rapt attention.
- Lancer fought us with unending determination and frightening power. He was a beast to fight. A proper monster made of metal. He was practically unstoppable and the ease that he beat us to the point that he could kill us was frightening. Robin recounted with a full body shiver as his eyes remained focused on Sam.
- And I think that Exit is going to turn him loose on the rest of us now. Robin said with a grim sigh as he lowered his head and turned his eyes away from Sam.
- That is not good. Not good at all. Sam said as she crossed her arms and tried to hold back a shiver at Robin's description.
- We could not beat Lancer with everything that we had. Even in my state of rage, I could not break through his armor completely. Robin said grimly as Sam, Alex, and Zaram paled at his words.
- But there was someone that WAS able to break through his armor. Craig said as he took a step forward.
- Yes. Robin confirmed, making the others brighten at the news.
- And who was it? Sam, Alex, and Zaram asked in unison.
- One of The Four Knights of Darkness. Octon Shorch. Robin answered, making the other's eyes go wide again.
- But he wasn't down for long. He looked ready to fight again and pummel Octon into the ground as Robin and I left them to fight it out. Only to run into another Knight of Darkness. Doun Camradrie. And something about Lancer makes me doubt that Octon made it out of that battle alive. Something about Lancer just made it seem that Octon would not win. Craig explained, causing the other's eyes to widen even further.
- And what happened to Doun? Sam asked curiously in a serious voice.
- Robin and I beat him into a bloody pulp. Craig proclaimed proudly as he jabbed a finger towards Robin and himself.
- But then he escaped when his master appeared. Another Knight of Darkness, Quandro Kuron. But something tells me that Doun was not going to live through the day. Craig continued with a serious and nearly emotionless look on his face.
- And what of Quandro Kuron? The figure hidden by the shadows of the room asked from the end of the table in a familiar voice.
- Dead. Robin answered stoicly as he turned his attention away from the three members of The Eclipse that he knew and turned towards the person that they were talking to.
- Well then....The figure in the shadows said as he turned his attention towards Robin and Craig.
- It sounds as if you two have had an eventful day. The figure in the shadows said in an intriguing voice.
- And you didn't even mention anything about that massive beam of light that shot up into the sky before all that chaos in Arrow Rain Park ensued. The figure in the shadows said in an amused voice as he started stepping forward into the light.
- Finally joining us, huh, Commander Gregory? Zaram said snidely as the man stepped into the light around the pool table.
- What the?! Robin said in a taken aback voice as his eyes widened when he laid his eyes on the familiar and ragged face of the friendly and poor man that he had made an acquaintance of in Cassandra City a few months back.
- Welcome to the conversation, Commander Gregory Harthinson. Alex said with a bow of his head as Robin staggered backward in a breathless voice as he turned his wide eyes towards the man dressed in rags.
- Commander? Robin said in a breathless voice of disbelief as he looked at Gregory with wide eyes of disbelief.
- That is my rank within The Eclipse. The brown haired, brown-bearded, one-eyed man dressed in rags known as Gregor Harthinson said with a nod of his head.
- Gregory Harthinson is a part of The Eclipse.....Robin repeated breathlessly to himself as he staggered backward in shock at that new nugget of information.
Theme: Fate/Zero OST 10 - The Beginning Of The End
- Indeed I am. Gregory answered solemnly as Robin sagged to his knees, taking large wheezes of breath, his eyes wide as he barely heard Gregory's words.
- And I am not just any commander within the high ranks of The Eclipse. I am one of the top commanders of The Eclipse itself. Gregory explained as he stepped past the pool table and up to Robin.
- What? Robin said in a shocked voice as he snapped his head back up to look Gregory in his eye.
- I am not only the commander that your commander, Samantha Starchill, follows. But the commander that her commander's commander takes orders from. Gregory explained as he and Craig put their arms beneath Robin's and helped back onto his feet.
- And what of Craig? He is a part of The Eclipse as well. But he isn't a part of any of the Dorminoss branches. Robin said as he turned his head towards Gregory before throwing his eyes towards Craig.
- I am one of The Eclipse's top informants and spies. Craig said with an easy-going smile on his face.
- I am one of The Eclipse's best infiltrators. I have infiltrated almost every single nefarious organization there is the galaxy. Everything from the Elementarian government to the upper echelons of both The Grey Republic and The Brotherhood of Darkness. I have put my fingers in many pies at once. Craig said with a mysterious smile on his face as Robin gave him a wide-eyed look of both shock, understanding, and realization.
- That explains A LOT about you, Craig Cryono. Robin said in a low, awestruck voice as he struggled to keep himself standing, even with both Gregory and Craig helping him to stand.
- But you don't have to worry. It is The Eclipse that is where my true loyalty lies. And always have. Craig said sincerely with a jovial smile on as he straightened his glasses.
- He has kept an eye on, Robin Lightwalker. From the very beginning. Gregory informed as he and Craig deposited Robin on the end of the pool table where Robin put his hands to keep himself standing as he looked across the table and looked at each gathered member of The Eclipse around him.
- Why? Robin asked in a low, slow and hoarse voice as he gave both Gregory and Craig a hard look.
- Because we, The Eclipse, have had our eyes on you for just as long as Craig has kept his eyes on you. Keeping you out of the worst kinds of trouble. Keeping you alive and well. Gregory explained as Robin straightened up at the information.
- I'll ask again: Why? Robin said in a low, firm voice that made his displeasure of the callous and uncaring way Gregory spoke of both him and Craig known to all.
- Because we have been wanting to recruit you, Robin Lightwalker, into the folds of The Eclipse ever since you opposed Kamilitron all of those years ago. Gregory informed in a sincere and casual voice as he reached the end of the pool table and turned his remaining eye onto Robin as he spoke.
- And now you got your wish. I'm a part of The Eclipse now. Robin said in a both a firm, stern and displeased voice as he stood up and crossed his arms as he leveled a hard, judging look with Gregory.
- Yes. You are. But not the way we thought that you would join us. And most certainly not under the circumstances we thought either. Gregory said in a low and dry voice as he gave Robin a placid smile.
- Sorry to disappoint you. Robin said sarcastically as he gave Gregory a raised golden eyebrow.
- It's quite alright. Even if the circumstances behind you joining us and the situation at large around your arrival here are not ideal, you are a part of The Eclipse now. Gregory said dismissively as he waved the issue away.
Then he straightened when Robin's face grew even darker and sterner as he leveled a cold glare onto Gregory.
- Why are you here Gregory? Robin asked in a low voice as he gave Gregory an unyielding glare.
- Excuse me? Gregory said confused, taken aback by Robin's question.
- What brings one of the highest ranking commanders of The Eclipse to the humble base of the Sagittarius City Branch? Robin asked in a voice that broke no answers. He wanted no lies, only the truth.
Otherwise, there would be hell to pay.
- I am here to bring you all some welcome good news. Gregory said with a sigh as he placed his hands onto the pool board.
- Is that it? Alex said in an impatient and frustrated voice.
- No. I am also here to recruit you all to a great undertaking. A mission that requires all of you. Gregory said in a firm, authoritative and commanding voice as he slammed his hands into the table.
- And what great task is that? Sam asked in a low, firm voice as she crossed her arms over her chest.
- The greatest undertaking that this current generation of The Eclipse has ever done. And quite possibly, the grandest task and largest assault that The Eclipse has ever done in ALL of its existence. Gregory informed in an unwavering voice as he closed his eyes and straightened himself.
- Stop beating around the fucking bush and just tell us what this "Grand Mission" is you one-eyed bastard! Zaram growled out in irritated frustration as he gave Gregory a fanged smile of intimidation.
- Very well then. Our mission is to crush the weakened Brotherhood of Darkness. Gregory informed without missing another beat.
- WHAT?! Every one of The Eclipse, minus Craig, yelled in unison.
- The Brotherhood of Darkness is currently embroiled in a violent civil war. And it has been ever since Kamilitron vanished without a trace and the new Supreme Commander, Modernon, took command. It has never been more divided than it is now. The Brotherhood is to caught up in its own internal affairs to see us coming. They are too caught up fighting with one another and disagreeing with each other to see is coming. And while they fight, we will strike. Gregory informed authoritatively, his every sentence carrying a note of power and finality as he spoke.
- The Brotherhood of Darkness has never been this weak before. And now is our greatest chance to strike them down. To rid the galaxy of their vile presence. To free it from its oppressive hold. And to crush The Brotherhood of Darkness once and for all. Gregory said plainly in a commanding and determined voice as everyone listened to his every word.
- Are you with me? Gregory asked as he opened his one eye and looked across the table at every member of the Sagittarius Branch of The Eclipse.
Silence followed his announcement.
Chapter 128:
The A/Fast Attack: Roaring System, Part 2.
Dorminoss: Kuyaykyu: Sagittarius City: Archer Mansion: Main Hall.
Theme: Bionicle Music - The Red Star
Antz-o-in walked through the doors of Archer Mansion, a blank expression on his face.
The moment the doors had fully opened and he had stepped inside, Ceasar, Socelieria and Zaigon came rushing towards him.
- Kamilitron! You're back! Socelieria yelled in relieved and excited voice as she, Ceasar and Zaigon hurried up to greet him.
- I am. Antz-o-in stated in a flat voice, his voice void of emotions as he entered the main hall of the mansion, a satisfied and pleased smirk on his face as he passed them by.
- We felt the surge of light from a couple of hours ago. Socelieria informed once she had calmed herself down with a long, heavy sigh of relief.
- And we saw the light rise into the sky. Some of us feared the worse, or that something had happened to you, Master. Ceasar said in a low, stern voice as he turned his eyes away from the closing door and towards the golden-haired Exit. He looked exactly like Antz-o-in, but his eyes were that of Exit and Kamilitron. And so were the feeling in The Darkness around him.
He was Exit. And he was Kamilitron. But he was also Antz-o-in. Now more than ever.
- We nearly dispatched several members of The Tenth Legion and our own soldiers when we heard all the chaos unfolding in Arrow Rain Park. Zaigon informed in a flat, emotionless monotone that would have made most machines proud as he turned towards his master, his face a complete mask of total stoicism.
Antz-o-in smiled at his words and turned around. A growing smile on his face.
- And yet, you didn't. Antz-o-in said in a voice that was both pleased and satisfied as he gave a long wave through the air towards the three of them.
- You ordered us not to interfere. Socelieria stated in a calm, collected and steel filled voice as she turned her poison purple eyes towards Antz-o-in.
- Precisely. And you didn't. Even when things started looking dire. Glad to know that you trust me as much as I trust you. Antz-o-in said in an immensely pleased voice as he grinned at the three of them.
- But what happened, Master? More precisely, what happened to you? Why do you look like Robin's cousin, when You are clearly in control? Ceasar asked in a voice that made his question just as much a demand as it was a question.
- It's a long story. Antz-o-in dismissed with a wave of his hand.
- But all that you need to know Ceasar is that I, Kamilitron, is now in complete and total control of Antz-o-in Lightwalker. And that there never was any danger of last time of him ever breaking free from me again. Antz-o-in explained with a widening grin as he walked up to the three of them, then stopped halfway there.
- Gather the others for a meeting. Antz-o-in said in a frigid voice, a twisted smile on his face as a deranged look entered his blood red eyes.
- As you wish. The three apprentices said in unison as they bowed to their master.
- He he he he he ha ha ha ha ha! Antz-o-in cackled to himself as he walked past the kneeling three and with a wave of his hand sent the doors flying outward again.
- What is it Master Kamilitron? Zaigon asked in a low voice as he, Ceasar and Socelieria rose back to their feet as Antz-o-in walked outside.
- You'll see Zaigon, my friend. You'll see. Antz-o-in said with a barely restrained cackle.
- You will find out with the rest. Antz-o-in continued as he walked out of the front gate, down the sidewalk and around the corner.
Dorminoss: Kuyaykyu: Sagittarius City: Archer Mansion: Mayor's Office.
A while later, every member of The Neo Brotherhood and The Tenth Legion's undeployed soldiers, as well as the top ranking members of The Legion were present in the long office.
The office was always a dark place to be. But now, all the curtains were drawn shut across the tall windows and barely any of the lights in the office were on.
Each and every member of The Neo Brotherhood and The Tenth Legion that were present stood gathered at the corners and against the walls of the large room.
Waiting.
No one made a single word and barely any sound as the thick shadows of the room grew darker as the darkness in the room grew deeper and thicker.
Some of the lower members present, as in those of Team Injustice shivered as they all felt the temperature in the room plummet past zero.
They all heard how the silk curtains stiffened as they froze. And the crackle of ice as it spread across the floor and windows.
But even as their skins were prickled with goosebumps from the biting cold of the room, no one dared to make a sound.
Because when everyone was gathered, it was easy to notice who weren't present.
And out of all of those gathered by the orders of their commanders, two people were absent.
The true Supreme Commander of The Brotherhood of Darkness and it and The Neo Brotherhood's founder and leader. Kamilitron. Exit Eden Of The Old World. Antz-o-in Lightwalker.
And Nervan. The Dark Knight of The Endless Night.
Both were missing.
Then the grandiose doors of the room opened like the gates to a castle.
The moment that they did, darkness and cold bellowed forth from the darkness beyond the doors.
Then Antz-o-in entered the room. A face-splitting grin on his face. His eyes shining with delight as he entered the chamber. And the temperature in the room plummeted as he walked through the room.
- Brothers and Sisters of The Neo Brotherhood. Antz-o-in spoke with the cold, silky voice of Kamilitron, instead of Antz-o-in's voice as before as he sauntered across the room towards the mayor's desk, his smile never leaving his face.
Then once he reached the table he turned around towards and pulled his hand through the air with a great flourish towards the door.
- I present to you! Antz-o-in declared as the sound of footsteps echoed through the oppressively cold darkness beyond the chamber doors.
Oglov shivered where he stood, rubbing his arms for any kind of warmth as the approaching footsteps echoed through the deafening silence.
- Our latest member! Antz-o-in yelled as a figure appeared in the shadows within the darkness.
Everyone turned towards the door as the footsteps came closer as the figure approached the room.
Antz-o-in kept talking.
- He is the reason why I am still alive at the end of the today. Antz-o-in informed as he lowered his hand and put his hands on the table while he kept his eyes focused on the opened door.
Everyone's eyes went wide at Antz-o-in words.
- He is the reason why The Eclipse of Sagittarius City has lost a member today. Antz-o-in said casually without remorse, shame or guilt as a cold smirk curled his lips.
- And why Octon Shorch of Modernon's Four Knights of Darkness shall no longer bother us. Antz-o-in continued as even Socelieria's eyes widened at that information.
The figure stood in the doorway. Waiting for Antz-o-in to continue.
- Brothers and Sisters of The Neo Brotherhood. Antz-o-in continued as the figure took another echoing step into the room, stopping at the cusps of the shadows.
- I present to you....Antz-o-in said as he raised a hand towards the silent figure that now stood at the entrance of the room.
- Alen Liencer. Antz-o-in drawled out, causing everyone's eyes to widen, even Ceasar's and Zaigon's, at his words.
- Or as you know him......Antz-o-in said as the figure took a stepped into the light.
Ending Theme: [TYER] English Blue Exorcist ED2 - "Wired Life" [Ft.AmyAnn]
- Allianser. Antz-o-in said as Allianser stepped out of the shadows and into the light.
An emotionless expression on his face as everyone who knew him and of his demise gasped and looked at him with wide, disbelieving eyes.
- Allianser......Socelieria said in a breathless voice at the sight of her fallen friend.
- Back from the dead to aid us with his newfound strength in our time of need. Antz-o-in declared with a great whoop of joy and cheer as Antz-o-in took a few more steps across the ice-covered floor, the ice cracking beneath his black boots.
- Impossible......Ceasar said with eyes wide with disbelief as Zaigon looked between Allianser and his master, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Oglov just looked at Allianser with a look of shock and awe.
But also disbelief and concern.
Because he had met Allianser before.
And he was one of the nicest people that Oglov had ever meet in his entire life.
But now that Allianser was suddenly back from the dead, all that was seemingly gone from him.
The Allianser that stood in the center of the room, unflinching and uncaring at the many wide eyes that were looking at him from every angle of the room neither looked or felt the same as before.
Allianser used to be warm and kind. But this new Allianser was not. He was cold, sharp and cutting. The air around him was as frigid as around both Kamilitron and Zaigon. His expression was, even more, blank then Zaigon's face. And most of unnerving of all, the way the new Allianser was holding himself and the look on his face and his eyes just screamed danger to everyone around him. The new Allianser was dangerous. Lethally dangerous as he had quite obviously proved by single-handedly ridding The Neo Brotherhood of two of its enemies by the sounds of it.
Oglov could just tell that this new Allianser was not the same as the old one just by seeing him.
The look in Allianser's made his entire body tremble. And Allianser wasn't even looking at. Oglov knew that this new Allianser was a killer and that he would kill anyone that stood in his way if ordered to. No matter who they were.
Then Allianser- took a few more steps across the room before stopping and bowing down into a kneeling position, lowered his head before Antz-o-in.
- It is an honor to be at your service, Master Kamilitron. Allianser said in a low, flat monotone, without a single emotional infliction in his voice as he spoke. His eyes looked onto the floor and his body as rigid as the most solid of ice.
- Rise, my friend. Antz-o-in ordered calmly as Allianser rose back to his full height, his face still void of emotions as he stood before Antz-o-in, Zaigon, Socelieria, Ceasar and Alsei.
- And welcome, Alen Liencer, Allianser, to The Neo Brotherhood of Darkness. Antz-o-in said as he raised his hands into the air, prompting everyone assembled in the chamber to clap their hands and even cheer as Allianser bowed his head without another word.
- I shall not fail you, Master Kamilitron. I will protect you with my life. That. I promise. Allianser promised with pure sincerity and utter devotion and dedication to his words as he put a hand over his heart once more before he raised his head and looked Antz-o-in in the eyes.
- That is what I like to hear. Antz-o-in said proudly with a cheerful smile as he looked at Allianser, then he looked over the gathered crowd and his smile dropped.
- Where is Nervan? Antz-o-in asked in a confused and concerned voice as he pushed himself off the table and walked past Allianser as he looked across the chamber and the crowd.
- I don't know Master. He vanished shortly after that you left and have not returned since. Zaigon informed calmly as he crossed his arms behind his back and took Antz-o-in's side.
- Interesting. Antz-o-in said in a thoughtful voice as he turned towards Zaigon, an intrigued expression on his face.
- No matter. He will turn up eventually anyway. Antz-o-in said dismissively as he waved away the issue and in the same motion turned on the lights and opened the curtains. Much to most peoples relief.
Dorminoss: Kuyaykyu: Sagittarius City: Alleys.
Theme: Gotham (OST( 3x02 Bruce's Doppelgänger
A cold, pleased and dark laugh echoed through the darkest of alleyways in Sagittarius City in the silent night beneath the dark sky.
An equally dark figure moved through the shadows, a demented smile on his face as he moved his way across the streets.
Everyone with a nick of sense kept their distance away from the man dressed in black armor adorned with raven feathers.
Those that did not found themselves dead by the man's head and were now floating in the air behind the man.
All he did was laugh.
It was as cold as the nights of the dying autumn and just as dark.
The laugh was mirthless and cruel.
But even as he was chuckling and laughing to himself, the man was staggering across the emptying streets with an almost drunken stupor.
One would think that this would have left the delirious man wide open for exploitation. But the pile of bodies that floated above the man's head was proof that he was not defenseless in his delirious state.
Anyone who was foolish enough to approach him would either do one of two things. Either attack him or run away in fear.
Because the man had a face that was plastered onto the largest of wanted posters.
And anyone who saw that pale face of his, with a crown of black hair over it would have their throat crushed and their neck snapped.
Then, after another fool met their demise at his hands, he stopped laughing to himself and spoke.
- This was too easy......The man said with a fang filed smile that twisted his face in a downright animalistic grimace.
- All to easy to do this.....The man said with a growing smile filled with fangs.
Then he moved a hand through the air and the dead man at his feet was lifted off the ground by an unseen force and joined the others floating in the air above his head.
- This will do.....Raven said ominously to anyone who was stupid enough to be near him as he watched the last man float up into the air and join the others.
- Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha......Raven chuckled to himself as he turned on his heels and entered the nearest alley.
Those that lived there quickly abandoned it when the air turned even colder than it already was. And those that didn't flee when they saw his fang-filled mouth and the dead people floating in the air above him.
- Monster......Monster.....Monster!!! They yelled as they ran for their lives, but Raven only laughed as he watched them run.
- Monster.....Ha ha aha ha aha ha......You call me monster......Aha aha ha ha aha ha......Ha aha ha ha aha! Raven cackled like a crow before he staggered forward.
Any fool left in the alley would join with the others.
When Raven reached the intersection of the alleyway between the four large buildings, Raven lowered a hand and deposited the bodies he had gathered on the ground.
They all crumbled into limp heaps on the ground. Lifeless.
- Time to put your wasted lives to good use. Raven said darkly as he sneered at the dead men that he had murdered.
Then he looked at the helmet he used when be was Nervan.
- I don't need this anymore. Raven stated calmly as he dropped the helmet out of his hand.
It thudded to the ground as Raven summoned darkness into his hands.
The next second, Quandro's Dark Heart appeared in his right hand and the Gene of Helix that he was given appeared in his left hand.
- With these.....Raven stated longingly as he looked at the Dark Heart and the Gene of Helix in his hands before he turned his head towards the pile of corpses lying at his feet.
- I shall become COMPLETE!!!! Raven roared into the night as he stepped into the pile of corpses while placing Quandro's Dark Herat against his chest.
The Gene of Helix hovered in the air around him.
Then he opened the cylindrical container and the alleyway was flooded in a blinding white light.
A beam of piercing white light shot up into the clear moon sky of te night as a cold and dark laugh echoed across the city.
End Transmission.

5 stories left before The Season 5 Finale. So technically, there is 6 stories left of Season 5 in total, but the countdown is to the finale. Not counting with the finale.

Anyway, things are going to be a bit calmer in episode 33 before they go absolutely crazy in episode 34.

In total, the next story arc might only consist of four episodes instead of five, but expect things to still go crazy during that time.

Really?
You'd cry for an arrogant man such as Quandro? Or are you confusing him with Octon?

Quandro's death was violent, Octon's death was meant to be sad.

1,2,3 or 3,2,1? Or how do you mean?
Quandro died in the first chapter of the episode, Octon in the second chapter and then there were two epilogue chapters for the ark in this 3rd part of the episode.
