With the dust hovering through the air, crimson irises pierced through it as if it were butter. Everyone stepped closer to each other, with Ruby, Hisoka, Illumi, Shifter, and Sikiyona holding out their weapons. Ruby still being in her armor, stood out the most due to its glowing yellow lines. Her pupils shrunk at the sight of crimson eyes that stared at her and the others. Her breaths wavered with her slightly shaking. "That's him... That's the janitor..." She whispered to herself, too stunned to avert her hawk eyes.

Rui, who was still out cold, remained in Illumi's arms and had not stirred once. The black-haired Zoldyck had an unfazed gaze, whilst gluing them to the red-eyed scientist. Hisoka had a dangerous frown on him, giving the most, deadliest glare to the crimson eyed monster. He got in front of Ruby, held her back, and took out a card in one of his hands. "Ruby... Let me take care of him, it's obvious he's too powerful for you...~" He spoke, making the said hawk woman finally break her stare and gaze at him from behind.

"Hisoka, I-" She got cut off when he turned to look over his shoulder at her. He was serious and she saw it. "Rely on me, Ruby gem.~" He demanded, pulling a smiling facade with squinted eyes. He saw her eyes waver, then nod in acceptance.

Sikiyona had her white scythe out and remained in her transformed state. Her slits were thinner than before, seeing those red eyes reminded her of that shady man...who kidnapped her. It is him... That is the man, who had kidnapped me a century ago... She mentally spoke, frosted eyes wavering at the thought. He took everything from me... Everything... My brother, my mother...my father... She spoke once more, that horrific nightmare reoccurring and repeating the scene of his eyes gleaming through the darkness. She wanted to break down and attack, though she knew better since it would only have her get killed.

Netero kept his attention on the scientist's red gaze, not once getting overwhelmed by fear. The same was for Chonz, although he was a bit shocked at the sight. Shifter had his two industrial long chains out, not letting his guard down. Neon stood behind Shifter since she never liked getting involved in fights. "Neon... Leave this island and go to Milluki. Live another day and find happiness, I don't need your death on my conscious..." he whispered to where only she could hear.

"But Harris....you'll need a healer to-" He took off his hood, his mask, and faced his partner. He kneeled down to her height, hugged her with a comforting embrace, and petted her head.

"You're like a daughter to me, I can't bear the thought of my little girl getting involved in this mess..." His deep voice seemed emotional and protective, not once breaking the hug. "Go... Find Milluki...and stay alive... Don't worry, we'll win this war," He reassured her, making her slightly sob and nod in his hold. "Good girl..." With a fatherly gaze, he broke the hug and towered over her. He had beautiful dark red hair, green eyes, and slightly tanned skin. Watching her turn around, she ran off and hurried off to one of the spare boats, leaving everyone on the island. Harris watched Nomu retreat with content and a fatherly smile, hope filling his green eyes. He turned around to face the terror masked by the flown dirt, his expression now changing to a stoic look.
