EROS VOSS (Yes, that's his full name, I checked.)
Dark.
That's all it felt to me, after being tossed into that strange portal by suspect R, it was dark. I didn't know where I was, I couldn't tell if I was standing up, or laying down.
All I knew, is that I was trapped in a large mania crystal, I couldn't hear, I couldn't see, couldn't breath, yet I'm alive.
How are Hecate, and Hella? Are they okay, did they follow me? What about Nightengale, is she controlling the staff?
After what felt like hours, I saw light. It was small, followed by the sound of cracking. The crystals that surrounded me slowly began to grow weaker.
"….he's…..catch….falls." Ah, it seems someone has found me, and is breaking me out.
'No, that's bad, I have to stop them!' I panicked, trying to open my mouth or eyes, but nothing.
"Stop….worse….go…!" The cracks were starting to get bigger, more light began to spill through.
'Stop it, stop, you'll kill end up killing yourselves!' I tried to scream, but no words came out.
My arm began to throb from pain, my shackles reacting to the cracks. I could feel the mania that trapped me beginning to flow out.
"Stop breaking….its causing...grow stronger...the staffs...affected!" Ah, it's too late.
I felt my shackles reaching out, licking the air and began to act on its own, soon, reaching out and gripping onto two familiar people.
'Hecate, and Hella, their nearby, I need to get out.' The crystal soon fell from my eyes, letting me see for the first time in who know how long, in front of me, were two peculiar people.
One of the people was a girl, her hair was white like someone I knew, while her attire was odd, she wore a jacket that was a mix of green and black.
She wore leggings that reach up to her thigh, with two thigh chokers on her right leg, and finally, she was wearing a skirt
The same could be said for her shoes, only it also had white on them. In her hand was a short sword in her hand, with the sheathe behind her.
What made me confused, the most was the large backpack that she wore, I hadn't seen anything like it. What made me even more curious, was that she was somehow producing electricity.
'Is she a sinner? If so, what is her ability, could the backpack be what's helping her use her abilities?' My attention was soon moved to the second individual.
The man had white hair, similar to the girl. However, he looked like he wore a mask and had a red jacket, underneath it, was something that looked like armor.
He wore black jeans with what looked like a small bag on his left leg, and a belt with a chain hanging to the side. Even his hands, if you could call them hands, were dual revolvers.
'Is he like Labyrinth? But he looks and acts more human.' I was able to remove one of my arms from the crystal, causing both of them to turn towards me.
"Oh no, the creepy man is breaking free! Anby, why'd you have to break the pretty crystal?!" Shouted the man, the girl, now named Anby, looked at me with hostile intent.
"It looked pretty, and I thought that Nichole might like it." Andy replied, with little to no emotion in her voice. Causing the man to cross his arms and placed his chin on his hand.
"Well, if the guy wasn't inside the crystal, then... yeah, Nichole would like it, maybe selling the big crystal for some dennies." The man then shook his head and turned around.
"B-but that's not important, what is important, is to save that creepy man, like any starlight knight would!" Shouted the man.
"Roger." Anby then made her way towards me, using her sword to chip away the remaining bits of the crystal that held me in place.
"N-no... get back.... it's not-." I struggled to speak, but the man twirled in place and held his finger up, cutting me off.
"Hush, you defenseless creepy man, we'll save you and get you out of the hollow!" The man spoke, aiming his two revolvers in opposite directions.
As soon as the last bit of the crystal that was holding me broke, a gust of wind rushed at us, sending me flying into the air, with Anby rushing towards me and catching me in her arms.
"You are very weak, it's best if you just sleep." She raised her hand, chopping my neck.
"N-no…." I wanted to resist, to try and stay conscious, but the exhaustion took over, forcing me to close my eyes.
…
"St-!" I had a hand land on my mouth, and I saw the armored man in front of me, holding a finger in front of his mask.
The sound of screeching was nearby, with the sound of metal against metal was heard. The man then leaned out, firing a few times from his revolver.
Only to duck back down and look at me with panicked look in his, eyes? Visors maybe, but he soon focused his attention on me.
"L-look, we may have gotten on the wrong foot here, b-but introductions are in order." He stammered, then posed with both arms crossing one another.
"Behold, for you are in the presence of, the dashing, the amazing, the bra— ahhh!" The man screamed, one of the creatures I had encountered tried to slash at us with its blade.
However, instead of it being made of rock, small bits of flesh was seen on it, it sagged and began to drip onto the ground.
Skin, bones, and even the hair of a human could be seen. What's worse, the creature had a persons face, its eye drooping out of one of the sockets.
"Ahhhhhhh, what are you?! There's no episode of the starlight knights dealing with this!" The man shouted, firing at the creature with both of his revolves.
Only for it to be knocked back by the many shots it received, it then lunged towards us, specifically me, and tried to stab me.
Only for its arm to be cut off, it recoiled in pain at the loss of its arm and reeled back, hissing at the person who harmed it.
"It's like an ethereal, but it has skin and flesh, odd." Muttered Anby, who then jumped over the creature, slashing at the head.
As the head split open, the skin began to drop even further, splattering on the ground like a puddle.
"Ethereal eliminated. Billy, how is the subject?" Anby asked her companion, who coughed and quickly pretended he didn't scream.
"He's safe, Anby. Also, don't just call him a subject, that just sounds like we're evil scientist." The now named Billy replied, shambling away as Anby stood in front of him.
However, she soon stood in front of me, her blade at my throat. I could see her eyes stared directly into my soul, as if she would kill me if I tried to tell a lie.
"Please state your full name, and occupation in a clear manner." Anby spoke, however, a pair of arms soon appeared under her arms, and was lifted up.
Her legs dangling in the air, as Billy walked a few feet away, plopping Anby on the ground on her knees, then rushed back to me.
"Sorry about her, she's seen way too many movies about interrogating people, but yeah, what's your name?" He asked, offering his hand.
I gladly accepted it, letting him pull me up with ease. However, I began to fall, only to be caught in his arms.
[Hello! It's me again, the author just wanted me to say this! No yaoi, that ain't happening one bit, And don't try to twist the words by saying, but you said it. You thought of it, so your fault in the end. Message delivered, Bye!]
"Ah, thank you, seems I'm still weak." Billy then patted my back, his eyes narrowing into a happy look.
"That's fine, and please, my name is Eros, Eros Voss. I am the chief of the Minos Bureau of Crisis Control. Or, MBCC for short." This caused Billy to gasp and jump back to Anby, holding her up again.
"Anby, you're the no-nonsense type of girl, you have a better chance to talk to him!" He pushed her towards me in order to save himself.
"I apologies for threatening a high-ranking officer, please forgive me." She bowed causing Billy to look between me and Anby.
"U-uh, I'm sorry!" He then rushed to her side bowing in front of me as well.
"It's fine, you didn't know at the time and had every right to be cautious." I waved off their apology.
"A-ah, than-" Before either of them could do anything, I raised my hand, sending a small amount of condensed mania towards one of the creatures.
It wasn't strong enough to cause major damage, but it was enough for it to stagger back.
Seeing it staggered, Anby was the first to react, her blade already drawn, she rushed towards it, and sliced at its head, splitting it open and exposing the black ball.
"Billy." Billy didn't need to be told to twice, he raised one of the revolvers, he fired a shot directly onto the sphere, causing the mania to disperse, and the creature began to crumble.
"Quick and painless, like I told." Billy spoke calmly while reloading his revolvers. Only to shout in surprise as the bullets fell.
"Oh, with how much I'm messing up, I can say goodbye to my performance bonus!" He wailed, picking up each bullet.
I on the other hand, had to sit down from what I had done. Using one of the abilities I had after being freed was exhausting.
"This may sound odd, but, how do you move so easily with all that armor?" I asked him with exhaustion from my voice, hearing this, he stopped and turned towards me.
"Armor, what armor? I'm an android." He pointed at himself, his two eyes narrowed and curved, making him look like he was smiling.
"I see, I didn't want to assume." I replied calmly, while internally, I was surprised on what I had heard.
'So he is an android, only more expressive.' I sighed in depression, remembering how the android back home acted.
'She would always act reserved, no emotion was seen on her face.' I thought, but I was then brought out when I felt myself being picked up over Billy's shoulder.
"Sorry, but we got more of those ethereal chasing us!" Billy shouted, running with ease on how light I was.
"Billy, this way." Anby pointed to what looked like an exit and the three of us made our way towards it.
Only for the setting to instantly change, to what appeared to be train tracks. I was confused on what just happened.
'Was it a sinner who teleported us? Are we being attacked? Where are they? What is their class ranking?' Multiple thoughts ran inside my head, however, they were dispersed at what happened next.
"Aww man, we're back where we started!" What did he mean by that? I had thought we were making some progress, only to be sent somewhere else.
"What do you mean you've been here alreadyyyyyyyyy!" I shouted as Anby and Billy both ran at the edge of the tracks, jumping off the sides.
"No time to explain, well tell you once were out of the hollow." Anby said, landing on the ground with ease.
More ethereal soon arrived at where we were, however their appearance was different to the ones we encountered.
More of the strange rocks covered the black spheres, making it more difficult for anyone to strike them.
Their arms have two large clumps of rock, acting as shields to block any frontal assault, while their backs were more exposed.
"Agh, why is their so many of them?!" Billy shouted firing his revolvers, the bullets hit their marks, but with the extra armor, it was difficult to destroy them.
However, before they reached us, a small bomb landed in front of us. I expected an explosion to go off, but all that appeared was smoke.
Anby then turned to Billy, who waved his only free hand to deny what happened. Only for all of us to hear a voice.
"Hey, over here!" Looking behind, well, in my case, forward, I saw what looked like a small little rabbit.
It's entire body was white, while the jacket it wore was black, with an orange scarf wrapping around its body.
It even had a black metal screen, with two green circles, acting like eyes that opened and closed.
Seeing the little rabbit, both Anby and Billy moved towards it, hiding behind a large subway to avoid being seen.
As soon as we hid behind the subway, Billy placed me down against it gently. While Anby turned to look at the weird creature.
"Good work, all." It spoke placing its stubby hands on its hips. Seeing this was the most confusing thing I've ever seen.
"It's a scarf-wearing talking bangboo.." Anby whispered to Billy, his two eyes widened and leaned back.
"Oh, your Phaethon!" It pointed at the bangboo, it puffed its miniature body with pride, the two green circles closing in satisfaction.
I however was confused beyond belief, that the only word that left my mouth was…
"Who?"
[Wow, already meeting with the twins, I expected a different outcome, but, what can the author do? Anyways, like before send in those weird rocks that have power, to show some support yeah? And don't worry, their will be an auxiliary chapter to show each character that will appear. Bye bye!]
