UNO (The Eminence In Shadow FanFic)

Kidnapped

"Cid being arrested?"

Djin said while looking at Joy with wonder.

Damn,now he kinda regretted that he miss such a scene..Imagine him getting beaten up by the guards seems amusing for Djin.

Today he doesn't go to the academy because of personal reasons. That is why he doesn't know about this.

"Yeah, it seems like he was accused
for the disappearance of Princess Alexia."

"Is that so?"

Djin murmurs while taking a sip of his coffee.Despite hearing that info,Djin act like nothing happened while enjoying his drink.

It's because he knows Cid more than anyone else.Stupid but strong and also a chunibyou.

Getting kidnapped also has a probability of being tortured.

And it is the perfect situation for his desired character.

"Do we need to help him?"

"No need, maybe he is in a happy situation right now. Rather than thinking about his safety, we need to achieve information from 'them'."

Joy tilts her head in confusion.

"Them?"

"Yes, our Seven Shades of Shadows."

Hearing the statement made Joy widened her eyes.

"What!!!They are already here?"

"Yes,and they seem stronger than before.A lot stronger."

Djin said with a small smile.He somehow felt so proud seeing their development,since it was his order for them to become stronger.

'Seven Shades of Shadow and Numerous.Both of the squad is now different from before...They are now ready to be known on the outside world.'
______________

Night time is finally arrive.In a simple kind of room that is filled with a smell of new brewed coffee.

Djin is currently inside his dorm while looking up at the sky through the window while taking a sip from his coffee. The dark sky that is filled with shiny stars can be seen through the window.

Huff

While sighing, he can't help but think about the dungeon that Joy said before.

Because the dungeon location that is easy to find, Midgar's government already make a move toward it and take an investigation.

It may not be active right now, but, soon it will, and they will be in danger if they enter it without any preparation ready.

There is only one way to stop them.

But there is also a catch.

'Compared to the effect,the catch is nothing.'

Djin thought as he take a sip of his drink.

Creak

At the same time, the door of his room started to open and a woman's figure could be seen from there.

There is no reaction from Djin as he already expects for her presence.

"It's been a while right, Alpha?"

He said while turning his head to the said person. Alpha nod her head as she started to smile.

"Yes, It's been a year since the last time you visit us."

"I have a business to do lately. So I can't visit you girls, anymore."

"It is okay, we know how much of a burden you got on your shoulder. Just know that we will always have your back."

Hearing Alpha's sentence made Djin look at her with a small smile.

"Same as always it seems. Anyways I want your report about this recent event."

Alpha nods her head before telling him her report.
Just as expected, Alexia disappears cause of the Diabolos Cult agenda. The reason is that The Royal Family has a higher concentration of heroes' blood in their veins.

This also means that Alexia is still alive because they need her alive to extract more of her blood.

'Then I don't need to worry about the princess.'

"Thanks for the report. By the way, where did you get that outfit from?"

Djin said as he looks at her school uniform.

"I took it from Shadow's closet before coming here. Why do you ask? Did it not suitable for me?"

She said with a normal voice,but her hearth said the opposite.The heaviness in her heart whole waiting for Djin's answer.She doesn't care about other's perspectives about her,but Djin is different.

Alpha wear this school uniform for one reason.That is for Djin to praise her.

On the other perspective,Djin begin to approach the elf girl as he inspect her reaction.

Pat

Djin place his hand on her head and begin to stroke it.A small smile can be seen formed on his face.

"Quite the opposite. I like it."

"A-ah, Thank you."

Alpha mutter with a red tint on her cheeks. It's been a while since he does this years ago, and its sudden action made Alpha flustered.

Which also made her feelings toward him develop.

But she doesn't want to confess this feeling yet.

It is because she knows that it will be made her not focused on their mission. Another reason is that she is afraid of being rejected, just like a typical teen girl which still remains inside of her.

As she looks up, Djin's figure already disappears as always.

Mysterious but strong, serious but kind, cold but also warm at the same time. That is what Alpha and the other 7 Shades of Shadows thought about him.
Which is also why they respect him.

"Then, It seems like it's already time."

Alpha said as her uniform changed to her shadow suit. Her presence disappears through the thin air, leaving the curtain open widely making the flow of the wind coming inside the now empty room.

At the same time, Djin can be seen standing on top of the building, looking at the street which is filled with the crowd. The cold air started filling his lungs as he take his breath. Including the beautiful night sky is one of the reasons why he likes nighttime ever since he was little. With the air and view that made him always relax.

Well, it was except when he started to enter the battlefield. The place that is filled with blood and a dead body. The noise of the firearms, screaming in pain and crying in despair from his enemies and allies made his mind far from relaxed.

'Such nostalgic memories. But why did I remember the shittiest one?'

"We are here, Uno."

The voice can be heard behind his back.Uno who is already in his outfit turns his head before nodding.9 figures can be seen standing vertically among each other while staring at him.

Joy is one of them. These are the members of Shadow Gardens that Uno put in his division. The division is made to prevent the 'Kings' invasion in the future.

"Welcome back, all of you."

The Numerous.
