Episode 1: Ricochet Days...Begins.
Arc 1: Search Party
Pain of the unimaginable kind, is what the last Tacts expirienced. Considered the most filthiest of human-kind, Tact 7’s had it very rough…but in these conditions, hope was born, in the form of Tone Kayden. For now, though, we are going to talk about the owners of Grace Negativity.
Tact 1’s
The Vzaltori World Government (VWG) had three leaders: High Card (Vice-President, Left-Hand Man), Revolt Revolutionary (Vice-President, Right-Hand Man), Chaos Destiny (President).
These were the most powerful users of Grace Negativity, since the highest of the hierarchy belonged only to the Tact 1’s. Tact 2’s worked under them, but they were still politicians.
Uta Ramare was born to Chaos Destiny and Ikai Ripori, a tact 1. Even though she was born to the highest of the hierarchy, she had everything she wanted, and yet, she hated her parents. She wanted peace, but her parents couldn’t grant that to her. The only person she ever really admired or loved was a person name Ricochet Days, but he died a long time ago. In fact, at 11 years old, she decided to do something stupid, she planned on escaping from the Destiny palace to go live in the slums of The Tact 7 district. It was 27th day of may. Her original timing was going to be 9:45 but, due to her parents having a small arguement that night, she had to postpone to 10:45. As she heard the last doors close, she opened her own bedroom’s door and went down to open the palace gates. A loud creak from palace gets opening and 4 lights turned on. That moment, she ran, ran faster than she ever had before.
28 days later:
She arrived at slums of Tact 7, only to find people sleeping on roads and sidewalks. Even houses and buildings looked like a rarity here. That’s when she saw a boy jumped on the buildings which were present and ran past her. He was at the roof of a building when she called out to him and told him stop. She chased after him, he looked about the same age as her, and she was looking to make a few friends to make this living despair a bit better. As she reached the rooftop, the boy turned around. Breeze flew in their direction.
“I’ve never seen you around here, what’s your name?” The boy asked.
“Uta-Uta Ramare, I’m a Tact 1.” She replied.
“Oh...Then…you should probably leave. This place ain’t safe.” His tone changed to anger.
“No…even I hate Tact 1’s. All I want is peace between us humans.” She stuttered, feeling an immense aura of Tact from him.
“If you say so...come with me. You can stay with us. I don't believe you enough though. Try anything funny, I'll kill you...” The boy replied. Uta had never felt more scared than that singular moment. He jumped down from the building and landed on the road.
Uta did the same.
“I don’t think I caught your name.” Uta asked.
“It’s Relin Voltas. ” The boy sighed, putting his hands behind his head.
"Relin Voltas…nice name,” Uta sighed.
“You think?” Relin asked.
“Why?”
“The name of Voltas is considered a disgrace, even amongst us Tact 7’s”
“Why is that?”
“Long back, during the age of our ancestors, all of us tacts lived in peace and harmony…that was until, The Tact 7 leader killed The Tact 1 leader.”
“You mean…my ancestor was killed by your ancestor.”
“A-Are you the daughter of Chaos Destiny?” Relin asked, a tone of fear in his voice.
“Yeah. I am.”
Just then, a person shouted: “I’ve found her, the daughter of Chaos Destiny!”
“Can you fight?” Relin asked.
“Heck yeah!” She laughed. The man ran towards them.
“Tact Base 4: Dead Gods: Fire Style: Sol Ardiente!” Relin shouted. The man’s body started burning.
“And…now, we run.” Relin shouted. They started running as officials arrived on the scene. Thankfully, they didn’t see them running away. They just kept running, but the police officials sent officers on either sides so they weren’t safe just yet.
“Tact Base 1: Grace Negativity: Awaken!” Uta shouted. They left the soul person to fight the officers but soon, it was defeated. Uta's tact wasn't that strong cause her thoughts couldn't be dark. She was too kind for that.
“Tact Base 3: Scream Rings: Gold Shield! Extension: Double!” Uta shouted. A double shield fell onto the ground, and Uta took one, giving the other to Relin.
“Thanks,” Relin said.
“Tact Base 3: Scream Rings: Gold-Hardened Bullets!” One of the officers shouted. He started shooting them. The gold shields started to crack on the sides.
“We have to book it!” Uta shouted.
“Calm down. We’ll take care of it. Besides, we have backup on the way.” Relin said.
“Who is it?” Uta asked.
“My twin brother, the strongest new generation Tact 7: TONE KAYDEN!”
“How will he be coming?”
“He’s already…here.”
“Where?”
Both of them shielded themselves from the gold hardened bullets. In then next 14 seconds, everything around them had gone silent. They dropped the shields, and saw a thin boy, about the same age as Relin and Uta. His blue eyes stole the spotlight from the two fighters. His long hair tied in a knot with some strands flowing till his neck, dyed dark purple. He didn’t look like he belonged in the slums of Tact 7.
“Took you long enough, Tone.” Relin sighed.
“You should learn to defend yourself, man. These police officers were so easy to fight, you could’ve fought them yourself.” Tone replied.
“Where is Chaos Destiny?” Relin asked.
“He isn’t here. Man, I was wishing to fight him. We could’ve had world peace so soon.” Tone replied.
“You can’t beat him.” Uta said.
“I know,” Tone laughed. “What’s your name?”
“Uta Ramare,”
“Nice name, do you know mine?” Tone asked.
“Tone Kayden, right?” Uta asked.
“Right…So, where do you live?” Tone asked.
“I’m a tact 1, daughter of Chaos Destiny. I ran away from the palace.”
Tone’s expression turned serious. “WHAT are you doing with Tact 1’s, Reli?”
“Relax, she has the same goal as us. World Peace,” Relin replied.
Tone was slowly convinced by Relin that she was on their side.
“Do you have a place to live, Uta?” Tone asked.
“N-No.” Uta stuttered.
“You can come live with us,” Tone muttered.
“Are you for real?” Uta and Relin asked, surprised. "I never thought that YOU of all people, would accept a tact 1," Relin smiled.
“Yeah,” Tone smiled.
One of the police officers stood up.
“You’re strong, I’ll give you that. Not strong enough to beat me.” He said as he removed his mask.
“H-Hoax,” Uta said.
“Is that his name?” Relin asked.
“Y-Yeah. Don’t even try to fight him, you can’t beat him.” Uta replied.
“How would you know that?” Tone asked.
“He’s my brother,” Uta enunciated.
