The void. A place which is beyond nothingness. A place that holds corrupted systems. A place which is beyond human knowledge. An alternative reality? Another dimension? A glitch? Call it anything you like but in here, the laws of nature don't work. The flowing time can be stopped and reversed. A Void of Secrets.
An empty space. Pitch black darkness was covering some spots. On the other hand some spots had a light reflecting the surface. As far as one's vision extended, nothing but darkness and cold pathways leading to emptiness. Footsteps. They became louder and a shadow like figure started coming out of the darkness. A man? An entity? It came closer. It stopped! A figure was on his knees. His head was bowed and it was none other than Scarface himself. Victor, Scarface, the traitor? Goes by many names but known by one. Scarface was looking down. His eyes were pitch black. He slowly looks forward and that mysterious woman was sitting in front of him. A black throne. He looks aside and another man was sitting next to him. His throne was red and a chopped off head was being displayed. Right next to him another man was sitting. A throne which was broken and damaged. Behind him an empty throne was placed. No one was there. The throne was just as ordinary as ever. Scarface looks at the woman. The woman says nothing. She tilts her head and looks at the man sitting next to Scarface. The man was looking at him. His eyes were sharper than his blades. His eyes were crimson red.
"It doesn't matter after all he was taken by none other than Ema Yui. Even a powerful foe like Yuki is useless against her."
The woman sitting in the throne looked at him and gives an annoyed look.She leans forward.
"Really?As long as I remember the time she took them my neck was split open. Wasn't it Victor?"
She was furious at him because of his failure. It was his duty to stop any incoming threats. Victor didn't have the gut to speak. He looks down and waits for them to say. His eyes says it all. The other man gets up and stepped away from his throne. He looks at Scarface.
"Victor, scar, the punisher. Who will you choose as your master?"
Victor was terrified.Yuki wasn't talking. The man who was defending him didn't speak. Meanwhile the other man was looking at him. His eyes were too much to look at as if they are going to destroy Scarface from inside. The man stepped closer and closer. Scarface gets up and still didn't look at his eyes. The man and Scarface were standing face to face. The man's eyes were disturbing. His left eye was pitch black. Meanwhile there was no right eye. Just a hollowed socket which can consume the light itself. Scarface looks at him.
"How about you follow me next time?"
The man's tone was deep and cuts through the very fabric of the whole scenario.Yuki and the other man gets up and they started walking their separate ways. The man turns around looks at them.
"Let him get built for us. Then we will take what's ours."
Meanwhile inside the deep underground bunker there was a completely different situation for Kento. Kento was sitting in a big room. The long table stretched across the room but there were only five seats. Kento was sitting on one of them. The door opens and V walked inside. Behind him a man steps inside. He was huge. He was wearing a black T shirt and a dog tag was on his neck. He looked at Kento and ignored eye contact any further. V and that man sits down. The man looks at Kento again but doesn't say anything. Kento who was too confused but this time he knows he has to speak less. Kento looks at V but V doesn't give him any attention. The clock is ticking. He looks at the man. "Nice to meet you my name is Kento Akari." The man looks at him with a cold look on his face. "So what?" His tone was rude which was expected. The man looked frustrated and annoyed. V looked at the clock and yawns. "They're late." Suddenly the front door opens again this time it was Ema but behind her was someone who was gonna be the spotlight of the room. Monica. She entered with Ema and they both sat down. Seeing Monica Kento smiles and gets up but she doesn't give him any further attention. She sits down and takes her coat off. "I believe that's everyone." Ema was about to start designing the whole scenario soon. She takes out a file. "Kento Akari. Age , twenty six. An ordinary store clerk. You dropped out of college and you desperately want to be rich by any costs. How foolish!" The Ema who was keeping Kento calm , who saved his ass is now throwing words which Kento tries to avoid. V coughs. Ema looks at him while Kento was completely stunned. "What's with that stuff. It doesn't matter if I am a drop out or not." Kento was defending his foolish choices but in the end it was the truth. Ema smiles. "Good. You are right they don't matter. What matters is who you truly are Kento." Monica takes out another file and gives it to Ema. The man who was sitting in front leans back and grips his gun. V stretched his hand looks at Kento. She opens the file and looks at Kento. "So who's XS?" Suddenly V and the man were standing right next to Kento. The man was holding his gun and pointing at Kento. Meanwhile V was ready to launch a devastating punch. Kento got paranoid he was unable to move. One mistake and they will open his skull. Ema gets up and steps closer with the file and slams it in front of Kento. She grabs him by his collar. "Where is XS." She was furious.
Kento gets terrified and he was shocked but he didn't give any reaction. No panic, no sign of being scared. His eyes were normal and calm. Ema pulls him closer and looks at him. Kento was tired. He's been getting kidnapped and broken like a toy for everyone's self interest. At this point he got used to all these. "Go on punch me. Inject me with those memory wipes, cut me off and take my limbs as experiment. I can't take it anymore. None of you are saving me." He looks at Monica. A single tear drop fell from his eyes. "You were right. I am a beacon. So please disassemble me and take whatever you all need." Ema pulls him and looks at his eyes. "Where is XS?" Kento smiles and says - "I am XS." Ema lets him go. The man and V stands back. Monica gets up and walked forward to Kento. She's standing face to face with Kento. Others steps back. Kento looks at her. Suddenly she slapped Kento. The slap was so loud even Ema looked away and V and the man smiles. "You're not XS Kento. You're the best recruit we have ever found." Kento looks at Ema she smiles. The man and V outburst in laughter. The man who looked cold and rude laughs as if it was the end of the world. "I told you V this kid was a natural. That bastard XS had nothing to do with him." Ema steps closer and holds Kento's face she looks at the spot where he was slapped. "Jeez Monica he's turning red." Kento was too confused and couldn't understand what was happening. The man stepped forward. "Sorry kid. I am Rez the commander of combat unit. Let's take a walk." He gets him up , Rez's arm around Kento's shoulder. He laughs and takes him away. Meanwhile Monica was smiling while looking at the file. "Train him nicely. We finally have a chance to end everything." Ema says it while she walked outside.
