3rd life, but make it Corika!

{Pattern} War

Aloha was red.

It all happened so fast he couldn't fully process it. He had said no to joining Vintage and Mask and suddenly he was being attacked by wolves. When he woke up Army was besides him, green carnations in his crown now yellow.

He felt different. But... not bloodthirsty like Mask had become. Just, a bit weird.

He hugged Army, tightly. The ginger embraced him back.

"You alright, Army?"

Army nodded. "I t-think so... Y-you?"

"Yeah. At least I think..." Aloha kissed the other male's forehead. "What the hell happened there..?"

"I...D-don't know." Army said. "Just... it w-was like I blinked and I was d-dead-"

Aloha kissed Army's forehead again. "... Those wolves. They had to have been cause of Mask."

"...H-how do you know?" Army asked.

"Just think. We were killed after declining her invitation to the Red Forest. And it seemed there were wolves all around us. So... it's Mask's fault we died."

The silence was tense and thick, as that realization sunk in.

"S-so, your s-sibling. S-she killed us?" Army asked, trying to comprehend it.

Aloha nodded. "Seems likely..."

"...W-well, w-what if...if t-they want a war, let's give her one." Army said.

"... what ?"

"Mask wants a war. But who will he fight?" Army asked. "What if we get to be the opposite side to that?"

Aloha thought for a moment. "You have a point. But, I don't want you to get hurt... What if you loose your last life?"

"If what Mask said is right, then... I'll just wake up in your arms, won't I? If what she said is true, then some sort of conflict would make this over sooner."

"...Are you sure about this, dear?" Aloha asked, gazing at Army with slight worry.

Army just nodded, returning Aloha's gaze with confidence. "Positive. We can do this, love."

"...Alright." Aloha kissed the ginger's forehead. "But... We'll need allies. We can't do this alone or we'll just die faster."

"So, who are you suggesting?"

"...Rider, Goggles, Skull, Avi, and... I think we'd be alright." Army said. "You with me?"

Aloha nodded. "Always."
