(tw: suicide and violence)

Third Person's POV

      Misfit Hills.

       Familiar isn't it? For it is one of the haunted spots in Yawaka City. The place where rumors about evil spirits and vengeance heart still resides. The place where lost people can never be found alive, and the place where the survivors of that massacre painted as a public execution, tried to rebuild their fallen empire in secrecy.

      Of course when the Noble Family knew that there were still surviving Ideales, they were threatened. And so they decided to put up a show for the last public execution that will be held at the City Hall near the Mephistopheles Town. That's where the deaths of some the real criminals, and activist occur. Like the philosophical serial killer named Poseidon and even some minor protestants from the fraction of Polaris, one of the activist who got caught up and burned at the Ideale Clan Massacre few decades ago.

     During the last staged public execution, the kidnapping of Typo Dazarencio, Nathalie Del Puerto, Demise Montoya and Ruination also happened. They were held captive at one of the abandoned warehouse near the Misfit Hills. The culprit? It was Celeste Ludociel-Dazarencio.

    Typo's mother.

    During that time, Celeste already lost her mind with everything. She wanted to staged a kidnapping to her own son so that Alejandro would also punish her with the Black Flag Sin too. A sin that will be punished at the underground where her real lover was trapped. The other kid that was involved was those who tried to save Typo from her hired men. They were just collateral damages and Celeste couldn't care any less.

      Because by the time the Noble Families performed The Last Public Execution, the underground one which is the Bloodshed Tournament was born. They again brainwashed the people to think of their undying sympathy, saying they finally realize how horrendous the punishment were for the Misfits, and they decided to lower it down to Erase (Red Flag Sin punished by Asteranzas) and Exile (Grey Flag Sins, punished by Dazarencio). But of course behind close doors, the tournament for Black Flag Sins Weilders were actively happening, being facilitated by Mondevillas.

     Although the surviving Ideales tried to camouflage their identities, some still got caught just like Helheim (Ivan's mother) and her cousin named Venus (Celeste's lover. Typo's mother's girlfriend). And ironically became one of the first contenders for the tournament's season one.

     They got dragged to the underground and the Noble Families made them fight with other captivators. Some where real criminals and some are just fighting for their rights. At first they tried to resist, but do you expect with opprression? Things like morality wouldn't matter anymore on the ring because everyone has their reason to live. It's a survival shoe once again, but in the end, the bloody grand finals was still between Helheim and Venus. The two Ideale.

    For once it was an honest score. No manipulation, no backers and no connection. They made it to the top just by their own strength that comes with their experiences as a Fallen Aristrocrats. How tragic it was for some fairness on the world will never make it to the surface. For it will eventually, ended up being trapped in the underground, just like what happened to them.

     "This is bullshit. I don't want to fight you," Helheim sighed.

     "Me neither. But you needed to. You need to survive. You still have a son who's doing everything he can just to rescue you, as if he can. You to need to come home to him." Venus gave her cousin a genuine smile and raised both of her hands.
