Golden Eyes, Silver Control

Rethought

'S-Sire!'

No hesitation, it was always instant action. The moment he heard Chronos' voice, Terugo pulled out the magazine to his gun, grabbed a bright yellow bullet, and threw it at him. 'Chronos! Shoot!'

He was able to catch it – Which was actually pretty impressive that was a tiny bullet – and put it in his Revolver. 'I only have one bullet.' Phantom Arrow was strong, he kept moving around while fighting his Master, he was too fast, and he can permeate. 'Where do I shoot?' His eyes widened as he aimed his gun at someone else. Kai. 'The reason he's here. If I shoot at him...'

Phantom Arrow noticed and immediately abandoned his fight with Terugo, finally allowing the Brainwasher to catch his breath. He was nowhere near as physically fit as his minions were.

'He'll be forced to take the bullet!

'Your Neice, Chronos.' Izo stepped in front of him. 'I may be old, but I remember you quite vividly. You worked for your Father, Pops. What made you change sides? Did Terugo make better apple bunnies?' She asked.

'No. He offered to pay me for my efforts. Pay he didn't give me, but once you're in Satana, you can't exactly just walk out. Hello Izo. I remember you as well.'

'Sobo, you know him?' Kai asked.

'Yes, I was actually good friends with Pops. We bonded over things, having Grandchildren for example. I had to stop visiting after my business started taking off again. So I had to stop visiting about three days before you arrived. I should know. He texted me. And I would've come to get you if I knew whether or not Terugo was in prison at the time. But I didn't, and I didn't want to risk your safety.' She finished.

'As much as I appreciate that would Father ever let me go if he wasn't in prison?'

'Foresight 4/20, hindsight 20/20.'

'I see.'

'Wait,' Chronos raised an eyebrow, 'After all this time, after everything he's put you and your daughter – who is apparently my niece – through, you still call him father?'

'Sure, I mean, old habits die hard right?' Kai answered. 'And besides, he may be cruel, manipulative, just a monster in general really, but he's still my father.'

'Sometimes you're a little too nice Angel.'

'Angel?' Chronos asked.

'They're married get over it.' Fatgum defended, yanking him back. 'Why are you doing this again? For the money, you're never gonna get? Or is it that you want revenge for Kai leaving? Maybe you just don't like him?'

'Eh- I'm doing this under Sire's order. Unlike some brats who are ungrateful for all, we've done for them.' He looked to Kai and Eri. 'I'm loyal to my Master.'

'Even after he ripped your horn off because you had normal bullets because he refused to give the altered ones? Y'know, the ones made with my blood?' Kai asked.

Chronos took a step back to the door, touching his broken horn. He growled before turning the handle and running out.

'Should we go after him, Chisaki-Dachi?' Nikk asked.

'No.' He sighed and watched through the window as Chronos stumbled and got back up again to keep running. 'Chronos doesn't run from anything. He's not scared of us so there's no point.'

'Then why'd he run?' Izo closed the door.

'We made him reconsider his loyalty.'
