It’s nighttime. Hinan is currently walking around the plantation looking for Ryan while trying to avoid other guards. The low visibility makes it difficult to navigate. But luckily it’s easier for her to get past them because of their extra bright flashlights. As she gets closer to her destination, the sound of a little girl’s voice becomes more apparent. Feeling a little anxious, Hinan strays away from her current objective.
Guard: “What are you doing out so late? You of all people should know the rules around here.”
Kakusan: “I’m sorry sir. I was asked to come here by another guard.”
Guard: “Oh is that so? I might as well keep you company until they get here, right?”
He begins to caress her hair in a creepy way. In retaliation, Kakusan shoves him away and takes off running. Not getting very far, the guard catches up to her and pushes her to the ground.
Guard: “How far did you expect to get?”
Kakusan: “Get off of me!”
Guard: “Come on. Don't be like that.”
As the guard’s grip gets tighter, Kakusan begins to scream louder and louder. Not knowing what will happen next, she closes her eyes and accepts her punishment. But at that moment, all of the weight that was holding her down is lifted. She opens her eyes and to her surprise, Hinan is standing in front of her dressed entirely in black. With her hands and feet covered in pink flames, Hinan is focused on the guard’s every movement.
Guard: “That hurt you know. But I’ll forgive you if you spend the night with me.”
Hinan: Disgusting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hinan takes on her signature fighting position. With both of her hands planted firmly on the ground and her knees raised up to her chin, it’s almost like she’s sitting like a dog.
Guard: “What are you? Some type of puppy?”
Hinan: …
Guard: “Hmph.”
He unsheathes his Katana and begins to walk circles around Hinan. Unbothered by the fact that her opponent is behind her, she looks dead ahead with stern eyes.
Guard: “Who does she think she is? Does she honestly believe that she can win with her back turned to me?”
He begins to run towards Hinan. He gets right behind her and swings his sword aiming directly for her head. She jumps up and lands on top of the blade with her left hand. She uses her momentum to do a spinning handstand kick, hitting him straight in the jaw. His eyes turn white and he eventually collapses to the ground.
Having witnessed her in action, Kakusan’s heart begins to pound vigorously.
Kakusan: “Wow! That was amazing!”
She gives Hinan a big hug.
Kakusan: “You are awesome!”
Hinan’s face turns bright red. Feeling both embarrassed and excited, Hinan can’t even speak properly. So she just mumbles the words “Thank you.”
Guard: “You bitches are dead.”
The guard stands back up with the angriest set of eyes.
Guard: “I’m going to enjoy tearing you two to shreds.
He lifts up his blade over his head and coats it with an orangey-red flame. The guard prepares to strike the both of them but before he can, he is stabbed through his back.
???: “Black Death.”
The guard begins to develop black spots all over his body. He tries to scream out in pain but no sound is made. The blade retracts from his body and he collapses to the ground once again. This time he’s not getting back up.
Ryan: “It looks like I got here just in time.”
Hinan: “And where were you exactly?”
Ryan: “Oh I was just sitting over there.”
Hinan: “So you were watching us the whole time? We could’ve died, or worse.”
Ryan: “Don’t worry, if things got too bad I would’ve stepped in.”
Kakusan: “Question.”
Kakusan: “Why did you call me out here?”
Ryan: “Isn’t it obvious?”
Kakusan: “No not really.”
Ryan: That was a rhetorical question. “You and the redhead are going to escape this place together.”
Kakusan: “Escape? How exactly are we supposed to do that? Do you know it is nearly impossible to pull off something like that?”
Hinan: “Don’t worry about it. Everything will work out just fine. Why? Because I AM HERE!”
Kakusan: Can’t we get sued for saying that? “If you say so.”
Out of the corner of her eye, Kakusan notices that Hinan’s flames are still burning.
Kakusan: “I wanted to ask you about that.”
She points towards the burning grass.
Kakusan: “How come your flames are pink?”
Hinan: “That’s because pink is my personality’s color. The flames of a White Rose matches whatever personality that person might have. Even if it’s an unnatural color such as pink.”
Kakusan: “What color would my fire be!?”
Hinan: “I don’t know. It’s hard to tell the true personality of someone you just met.”
Ryan: “That’s enough chitter chatter. We should get out of here before someone else shows up.
Ryan picks up the guard’s dead body and the 3 of them scurries off. Meanwhile an ever expanding threat grows near. Cloaked in darkness, two silhouettes are making their move on an unknown military base.
???: Yawn “This is so boring. When will I be able to fight people?”
???: “You should really work on your fightaholism, most women don't find that attractive.”
???: “Speak for yourself. Your “survival of the fittest” mentality isn’t that appealing either.”
???: “Let’s go.”
The two of them began to slide down the hill. As they made their way into the light, their appearances became clear.
De’Von “Taurus” Jones. A 9 foot tall dark-skinned man with biceps just as big as his head. His muscular figure and flowing snow white hair is truly a sight to behold.
Taurus: HAHAHAHAHA “I’ve been waiting hours for this!”
???: “Calm down! We have to keep at least one of them alive!” He can’t hear anything. Why did they force me to bring him along?
Trailing behind Taurus is Charlotte “Libra” Dracula. A woman with almond colored skin and pumpkin orange hair. She's dressed in an emerald green bedlah with solid gold chains and jewelry.
Guard: “Did you hear? An entire city was turned into bubblegum a few days ago.”
Guard 2: “Bubblegum? How is that even possible?”
Guard: “Apparently one of those demon generals can turn their surroundings into bubblegum. They said that it was extremely sticky. And if you touched it, you were practically done for.”
Guard 2: “That sounds pretty scar-
Before he knew it, his face was impaled by a spear of solidified oxygen.
Taurus: “Bullseye!”
Apparently unfazed by his friend being impaled, the guard sets off the base’s alarm. Alerting all personnel that they are under attack. But before he could pull out his gun, he was grabbed by Taurus. Taurus smashes his head into the wall and completely destroys the small hut that they were in.
Taurus: “Two down. And a bunch more to go!”
Taurus: “Nightmare Extinction.”
Taurus raises his hands and out of nowhere an obsidian colored, two-handed battleaxe appears in front of him. He grabs it with both hands and enters a battle stance.
Taurus begins to charge a powerful attack. The air around him begins to crack, as if he's turning it into glass.
Taurus: “Tsunami de oxígeno sólido!” (Tsunami of Solid Oxygen)
He swings the axe with tremendous force and levels the entire military base. The thought of there being any survivors is out of the question.
Libra: “Why did you do that!? I told you to keep one alive!”
Taurus: “If none of them survived that means there weren’t any that was worth keeping alive.”
Libra smacks him across the face.
Libra: “Why are all the strong ones so fucking stupid!?”
Taurus: “I can still hear you.”
Libra: “So fucking what! I fucking told you, but no no no. Nobody ever listens to the fucking “stripper”. Now I’m going to get into so much fucking trouble, because your dumb ass doesn’t listen.”
Taurus: “But look at the bright side. I’ve never called you a stripper.”
Libra looks at Taurus with eyes that screams “murder”. But before she could act on her murderous intent, the sounds of coughing catches her attention.
Taurus: “What did I tell you?”
Libra: “Fuck off.”
The two of them began to look through the ruble. Eventually Libra stumbles across the source of the coughing. A half dead guard that ended up peeing his pants during Taurus’ attack.
Libra: “So you have two options. Tell us what we want and live, or die with your secrets.”
Guard: “Go to hell.”
He uses whatever strength he has left and pulls out a pistol. He shoots Libra point blank in the head. But the bullet just bounces off of her. It doesn’t even leave a mark.
Libra: “I’ve already been there.”
Libra lays him down on the ground very gently and swiftly slits his throat with the heel of her shoe.
Taurus: “What happened to leaving one alive?”
Libra: “Let’s go.”
The two of them walk off. Stepping over dead bodies and debris.
