Anyways, HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL!! Finally a shitty year is over thank god. Hope you all had a wonderful celebration!! ^///^

THIRD PERSON POV

"I want to get stronger!!" Zin exclaimed out of nowhere. Pumped up with her hands clenched into fists and her eyes showed determination.

Her older looked back at her confused. "You want to get stronger...?" she was a little puzzled.

The little girl nodded her head vigorously. "Yes, Big Sis Zyn!!

"...." Zyndira was speechless. She didn't know what to say. Normally, if you're a supportive older sister, you would've agree without a doubt. However, Zyndira is not like those supportive older sister. Everything she showed to Zinlester, is a fraud.

At this time, Zinlester was only 9 years old. So you could say she's innocent at this age.

Managing a fake smile, Zyndira replied. "Alright." and so they began their training.

Everyone knows that Zinlester, mostly referred as Zin, is a very gifted person. Making her to be highly respected. She is talented and a natural in almost everything. A lot admired her.

But negativity will always stick to something positive.

Envious, jealousy, hatred, and selfishness shall always remain. No matter how much kindness you show, there will always be a bad luck that will come to you.

As for Zyndira, she is completely aware of Zinlester being a gifted child. A blessed person by the gods. With every single person praising her, with every awe they showed in admiring her, she hated it.

Zyndira's jealousy for Zinlester turned into hatred. And her hatred turned her to become mad. It drove her insane, and her mother consitently ordering to kill Zinlester kept ringing in her thoughts. Which obviously didn't help.

Her plan was to stick to her younger half-sister who truly looked up to her. Make her close to her at all times. Be kind, heartful, and friendly. That was her plan.

And when the right time comes, that is when she will strike.

"Ahh!" Zinlester slumped down on her knees as crystals began forming on her body.

Her older sister on the other hand was secretly smirking. She thought that she could use her training with all her strength will be the reason of her 'death'. But in reality, she planned it.

The older Klavis has just won a battle against the younger Klavis. After that, she excused herself that she is about to do some important matters and told Zinlster to take a rest.

But knowing how determined Zinlester was, Zyndira clearly know that she would still train to improve.

Zin wasn't that strong yet at this time compared to Zyn. Her weakness in the past was her recklesness and her love to fight, that changed when she grew older.

Zyndira heard the maids' worried voices suddenly lingering in the training room. She hid herself more into the curtains and darkness.

One of the maids' spoke with a horrified tone. "Lady Zinlester!--you are crystalizing!!" she stopped her from moving and held her.

Then slowly, more people came running to the 'chosen one' and soon carried her to her room.

Zyn who was furious, gritted her teeth and gripped the soft frabic of the curtains tightly. She was frustrated that the maids found her. She mentally cursed at them.

'How troublesome...' rolling her eyes, she quietly walked away and left the training room.

☂☂☂

"Novick! Ran!"

Khun Aguero Agnes yelled as he entered The Hand of Arlen. Pants and huffs left his lips as his sight took in of the current situation inside. 'Rabbit ears...?' The first thing that came into his mind is the description given to him by the snake Regular who he just killed a while ago. Looking over to the girl beside a long haired man, his description compared to her seems accurate.

'...Mr........Khun?! What is Mr. Khun doing here!?'

Jue Viole Grace. A Slayer Nominee from FUG. He was beginning to panic and feel anxious for one of his most treasured friends is right in front of him.

Rushing in, Khun yelled once again his teammates names as he came running to them.

'Damn it! Zin is not here!' Khun cursed as he didn't saw a familiar girl with platinum locks.

Novick who is laying down, turned to Ran who is also laying down just right beside him. They were defeated by the one and only Jue Viole Grace.

"Hey, wake up, Ran" Novick ordered. Ran only complained. "Damn. I was relaxing."

Unexpectedly, the girl with rabbit ears pulled out a button. "WAAAAAIIITTT!!" She warned. "Don't take another step!! Or everyone dies here!!" she even taunted!

'?!'

Novick muttered a 'what' in confusion. All besides the bunny had their eyes widened as they stared at the only female present.

"I installed a bomb inside of The Hand of Arlen. If I press the button, the hand will be blown up and we'll die. So don't move unless you want to die." She threatened.

Jue Viole Garce who is now bewildered by the Light Bearer's remark, stepped in. "Wait! What are you...!" a sudden beep from behind caught his attention.

━━━━━━━━━━━

If you don't stay still, everyone here will die,

Slayer Nominee Jue Viole Grace :)

━━━━━━━━━━━

His eyes widened in shock as realization hit him like a truck.

'....FUG....!!'

"Cassano, come out." The girl with rabbit ears ordered and was instantly complied. There under the rumble of rocks, rose The Devil's Right Arm. Cassano Beniamo.

'So he was alive.' Ran and Novick deadpanned to themselves.

The Lighthouse again beeped which caught Jue Viole Grace's attention. He shifted his gaze to this from Cassano and read the message.

━━━━━━━━━━━

If you follow us, I'll let that man live.

If you don't you'll lose three of your precious friends.

What will you do?

━━━━━━━━━━━

"Ugh..." The Slayer Nominee gritted his teeth in frustration. 'Was it...a set up from the....beginning...'

Just then, he reread the message and soon his gritted teeth vanished and was replaced by a puzzled look. 'What do they mean....three?...'

Khun was about to rant to the rabbit girl but she beat him into it.

"Ling!! Where the heck are you?!"

As if on cue, the man with lime green hair and bloody eyes, came out from the shadows where he was hiding. His presence caught everyone's attention. However, what caught their vision is the girl he's carrying on his shoulders.

Everyone's eyes went wide as they took in the sight of an unconscious girl with platinum locks.

"M-Ms. Zin—" Jue Viole Grace mumbled under his breath—

"ZIN!!!!" Khun, Novick, and Ran screamed in horror. Their eyes were wide and showed worries and anxiousness.

Zin. She was unconscious. Blood was spewing out from the side of her head with her eyes were shut closed, as if she was in a deep sleep. Although, her face showed clear distress and pain. She was conscious yet unconscious. The pain she's feeling is preventing her from falling into deep sleep, yet it's also making her head dizzy and dull.

But what really scared the other Regulars, is the crystal that formed on Zin's body. It has reached on the left side space between her shoulder and neck, even her face as well. Tears formed at the corner of Zin's eyes, she couldn't feel her body but it was painful.

Before they got here, Zin tried to escape and used more of her crystal shinsu which made her condition worse. Sadly, she failed to not get caught and now she has been abducted.

"Z-Zin!!" Khun once again called but now in rage. He wondered what were those crystals forming on her body and what was the cause of it. More or less, he's sure that it's something not good just by seeing Zin's current condition. He was so worried for her, he could feel his heart beat get faster, nervous on what may happen to Zin if this continues.

He felt like it was his fault why Zin was in that kind of state. He knew something was a little off and he didn't feel right, that's why he hugged her earlier. Feeling that something horrible will happen to her, and yet he still ordered her to follow Novick and Ran on her own. He wanted to punch himself because of that.

Khun stared at the girl. He was really worried. He felt so guilty for not being able to do anything to save her. Zin has always been there for him throughout the years, he couldn't help it. Zin became the most important person to him ever since.

(A/N: Sorry Bam .__.)

"Hey! Put her down!—" he demanded and was about to rush in but cut off by the rabbit girl's outburst.

Anger was clear in her voice. "You idiot! What did you do?! What if that girl dies—we need her!! What happened to you anyways?!" she screamed at the lime green haired man.

Rolling his eyes, Ling approached the girl as a blank look was plastered on his face. "She's not dead. Don't worry. Besides, she was being too cheeky and almost beat me up to death." He lazily reassured.

"If we get in trouble because of you—"

"No, we won't. I promise." Ling was getting pissed at this point.

Jue Viole Grace secretly glared at the man carrying Zin. He was furious on what he did to one of his precious friends.

Novick and Ran who are also seeing the scene, was also in furious. One, because that guy was able to defeat Zin first instead of them. Two, they were extremely worried. They had their brows met and their eyes showed anger.

"Darn it! Who are you guys?! Why are you doing this!? Who is your target?!" Khun demanded for an answer.

Which was immediately complied by the girl with rabbit ears. Spreading her arms out, she answered the man's question. "We're just ordinary Regulars...who live in this Tent Village. But not this man." She indicated the long haired man named Jue Viole Grace.

Aka the 25th Bam.

Khun muttered a 'what' but in a harsh way.

"His name is Jue Viole Grace. He's going to be...the newest FUG Slayer in the near future."

'...!?' Khun Aguero Agnes was utterly flabbergasted.

"Oh." Novick and Ran again simply deadpanned to themselves. A little to nonchalantly.

The girl with rabbit ears continued on her long monologue (lol sorry I was lazy) and soon revealed that Jue Viole Grace, is here to eliminate Khun Aguero Agnes!!

Pointing a finger at the son of Khun, she continued. "That's why we sent a spy to your team and how we succeeded in bringing you here!!"

Khun can only listen into this unexpected information in shock. He still couldn't forget that when he traced the hacking that was did in his Lighthouse, it was Apple's name that appeared. '!!'

"Everything was planned to make you come here!! Khun Aguero Agnes!!" the female ended exaggeratedly.

It was a hard time to take it all in. A set up. The betrayal. Why Apple came to his team. The reason she gave him the info about the Devil's Right Arm. The snake Regular who tried to assassinate him—

'Was it all just to catch me? For him....to kill me?' he thought, still in shock.

*GNASH!*

Rage took over Jue Viole Grace's head but managed to put up an act.

"Yes, what she says is true, son of Khun." the Slayer Nominee began.

With the Lighthouse used to change his voice, he continued. "I tried to kill you. That's why I laid this trap and waited for you."

"But I've changed my mind after seeing you. I seek to be the embodiment of your greatest fear. I would enjoy seeing you run away in fear more. I will be merciful this time and let you go for my own amusement."

Khun was confused on what the heck the Slayer Nominee was talking about.

"Run away, Khun Aguero Agnes."

'We won't be able to go back...'

Jue Viole Grace turned back his heels and started to walk away.

"And wish that....we will never cross paths again."

'To how things used to be...'

"Hey Slayer Nominee." Khun called for the Slayer Nominee's attention.

The Slayer Nominee came into a halt.

"I don't know where you're from, but you should practice more to seem like an evil king. Your evil act is like out of a lame novel. It's too obvious that you're acting. What was that? You're acting made me cringe." It's not a surprise that the blue headed cocky Khun saw through the Slayer Nominee. Someone as cunning as him would never be tricked by a fake evil act.

"You're...." Khun trailed off. "...Trying to let me go on purpose aren't you."

Upon hearing this, the long haired brunette gulped nervously as a lump was created on his throat. Khun was too sharp, he easily noticed that he was just making up an act.

'I can't trick you, Mr. Khun. But....'

"I meant what I said."

'....I can't tell you the truth.'

Unexpectedly, the platinum haired girl, Zin suddenly stabbed Ling as she created a spear out of her crystal shinsu!!

"Zin!!" Khun yelled. Worried for the female.

Shifting his gaze to Khun, Zin's face lightened up a bit after seeing her beloved......friend. "Aguero!"

Everyone was caught off guard, especially Ling himself. He screamed in pain as the spear went through his stomach—

"AARRRGGGHHHHH!!!" Kneeling on the ground out of pain, he accidentally let go of Zin in which was the girl's motive. Gritting her teeth, she fell on her side and struggled to sat up as she was also in pain and clutched her shoulder. The crystal just got worst because of the large spear she created.

*PZZT!*

Out of nowhere, Ran zapped with his lighting the button that the rabbit girl was holding! Khun was in glee and was proud. Novick went in to snatched the button and was about to attack the rabbit girl. Ran was about to rush in and take Zin—!

Sadly, their celebration was quickly ended when the Slayer Nominee Jue Viole Grace stopped Novick and Ran's movements. Stopping his movements with the use of the Lighthouse. Khun and his teammates were in shock.

"I'll go with you," the Slayer Nominee complied as he walked passed the rabbit female. "But if you play around with the lives of my friends like this again..."

"...I'll....kill all of you."

The female felt a chill run down to her spine once she heard that threat by the male brunette.

Fast forward (sorry I got lazy lol), the rabbit girl who Jue Viole Grace called as 'Ms. Xiaxia' pressed the button!! In which activated the bomb she placed in the hand of Arlen. The place began to crumble because of the explosion!

Xiaxia looked back to Jue Viole Grace with an insane look. "I could feel it."

"You are my god."

Novick and Ran came rushing in! "Darn it!! What's that crazy girl doing?!"

"Zin!!" Ran and Khun screamed!! However, Zin was deep in her thoughts as he stared at the long haired brunette. Her eyes were wide and she looked absolutely bewildered and flabbergasted.

She caught a glimpse of his eyes.

"B-Ba—" she tried to call out.

"No!! Mr. Khun!" yelled out the Slayer Nominee!!

'Bam?!' Both Zin and Khun thought in their heads. Their eyes instantly went wide.

None of them can move from where they are. They were too shocked and confused. This event was too much for them too bear. It's as if the whole world came crashing to them. A truck full of insane thoughts hit them. It was just too much.

"Run away, Mr. Khun!! It's a trap!!" The 25th Bam was horrified. His friends are in the verge of death! "Run away!! Now!!"

"B-Bam—" Zin crawled and tried to get to him but the pain she's feeling was overwhelming. She can't help but just sit back and endure it.

Ran and Novick can be seen in the background struggling to get out of this mess.

Everything rumbled and crumbled in an instant. But it was different for Khun and Zin. For them, it was like time has stopped. This event was unbelievable. Thoughts, assumptions, accusations, and questions popped up in their heads.

'What the f*ck is happening?!' Zin cursed in her head.

Sooner or later, Zin completely blacked out and slumped onto the ground. Ling was now also unconscious and is also slumping on the ground. Cassano scowled and picked up Zin but wasn't able to do the same to Ling.

And as the female was completely black out, the tragedy continued. And soon, The Hand of Arlen has completely blown up.

~END OF CHAPTER 9~

Sorry if it was a bit short. I felt really lazy to write this because there were soooo many dialogue in this scene and I wanted to disregard it since you guys probably already read those.

Well anyways, have a nice day!
