"Brother your moving too fast!" Mako yells chasing after me. "Well maybe I'm not moving fast and you are just too lazy." I respond with a smirk. Me and my brother have been scavenging after the so called end of the world, trying to get any and everything we can. "Mako where is Trey?" I ask stopping so he can catch up. "He said he would meet us at the randevu point-" Mako says trying to catch his breath. "Come on little bro I wasn't moving that fast." I say with a sigh. "Yeah by your standards at least." Mako says taking a seat on the floor. I walk towards him with with a light smile then flick him on the forehead. "The hell was that for?" he says rubbing his forehead. "You need to build that stamina up if you want to get stronger little bro." I say getting ready to run again. "Yeah I know but considering you are monster already it'll take me a while to catch up no?" Mako says getting up. "Well best form of training is running so let's keep going." I say running away. Mako runs following behind me.

We proceed to run through a forest and meet with Trey. "What took you guys so long?" Trey says leaning on a tree. "Well slow poke over here held us up for a bit." I say pointing at Mako. "Come on bro it's not my fault your lungs have infinite air in 'em." Mako says complaining. "Well that's enough of that let's go over the plan." I say pulling out a telescope. "Our main goal is to infiltrate that PCU converted base and steal the crystals stored in there. "Heard these greedy fuckers plan to sell them to some drug distributors for some hefty cash no?" Trey says while stretching. "Well of course the government would do what they see is best in their interest." I say with a stern look. "You lack optimism bro what if they are just trying to give people powers." Mako says with a goofy smile. Me and Trey both look at each other then look at Mako. "Are you a idiot?" we both say with a disappointed look. "Okay maybe they are selfish but can't be as long as they have so crystals the give out?" Mako says with a confident smirk. "Don't get ahead of yourself, we are only stealing enough to sell for our own gain we aren't stealing their whole stash." I say putting the telescope away. "But-" Mako tries to say. "But nothing we aren't heroes Mako." I say with serious tone.

We proceed to our positions as I make my way to the building sneaking in I look around to make sure that the others are in their places. I look to the west of the building and see Trey mounted in a bush with a rifle and I look east to see Mako getting ready to generate a distraction, I signal to Mako to go ahead. "YO GUARDS YOU FUCKERS ARE JUST DOGS FOR THE GOVERNMENT RIGHT!" he yells getting their attention. "What did you say you black fuck?" one of the guards say speed walking towards Mako. Mako proceeds to throw rocks at them then runs away and they proceed to chase him. I signal to Trey to shoot out the cameras and proceeds to shoot them out. I make way inside slicing the sensors so the alarms don't go off. "Now where are the fucking crystals." I whisper to myself. I walk deeper into the complex to find a bunch of crates filled with crystals. "Bingo." I say while proceeding to stuff crystals into my bag. Before I could continue though I feel a shiver down my spine sensing a great aura. I turn to what seems to be the source and see a big cloth covering something.

"The hell could this be...?" I say out of curiosity. I take the cloth off and see a woman with silky white hair and a white robe floating in what seems to be a tank filled with what looks like the liquified version of the crystals. I am memorized by how pretty the lady is in the tank but quickly snap out of it because I remember my goal. "This lady isn't what I am here for." I say with sigh proceeding to turn away from the tank. I try to walk away but feel drawn to her as if I am supposed to free her. "God damn it." I say running towards the tank and slashing it open. The woman comes falling out of the tank and I manage to catch her. She opens her eyes and looks at me intensely. "Huh, if you are awake can you walk on your own?" I say confused. She shakes her and puts her hands around my neck as I lift her up. "Alright then look like there is a slight change of plans." I say while running out of the compound. I manage to get out and signal to Trey that we have to retreat. I meet up with Trey at the base where we are suppose to meet Mako. "Who the hell is that woman?" Trey says annoyed. "She is something that wasn't apart of the plan but I couldn't have just left her there." I respond. "What happened to not being a hero Mizumi?" Trey says with a stern look. "I'm not being a hero but at the same time I'm not here to be a dickhead." I snap back. "You don't have to fight." a soft but stern voice says. Me and Trey both look towards the white haired woman. "You don't have to fight at all." she says getting up. "What do you mean?" I say confused. She walks towards me tapping my chest with her finger. "You are strong willed." she says with a light smile.

"Don't tell me you fell in love with her something?" Trey says scoffing. "Not everything is like that Trey." I respond with an annoyed look. Just then Mako busts into the room and looks at me concerned. "What's with that face lil bro?" I ask. "Check the TV quick." he says pointing to the remote. I grab the remote and quickly go to news to see a report. 'PCU facility raided by organized group stealing value information and goods.' I hear this and I am stunned. "They never went this far when we stole crystals before, why would they get a report going now?" Mako questions. Mako looks towards the woman and is even more confused. "Who is she?" Mako asks. "This might be my fault." I say with a concerned look. "It is indeed your fault, you took something valuable from them just cause you had some sort of gut feeling or maybe you got a hard on for this girl." Trey says in a mocking tone. "Watch it Trey." I say with a stern tone. "What is it Mr.Hero you gonna go save another female and forget who you are fighting for." he says nodding towards Mako. Mako still looking confused decides to take a seat. "Ok Mako hear me out this is what is going on-" I say.

I explain everything that happened while Mako while he was acting as a distraction. "So you decided to save a pretty lady after saying you weren't going to play the hero, brother what brain are you thinking with?" he says jokingly. I karate chop his head. "OW!" he yells rubbing the top of his head. "I'll fix this somehow so calm down on the jokes." I say walking towards Trey. "It's best to sleep now and then come up with a plan then can get us out of this." I suggest. "What about little missy here?" Trey says pointing towards her. "I'll let her stay in my room and I'll take watch to make sure she doesn't escape." I say in a serious tone. Trey and Mako nod and proceed to head to their rooms. I grab a chair and place it next to my room door. "You can sleep in my room." I say to her while taking a seat. "What about you where will you sleep?" she asks. She makes her way towards me and then proceeds to sit on my lap. "The hell are you-" I try to say but I couldn't manage to utter anymore words. She leans in close and stares intently at me as I noticed her striking blue eyes and pale skin as if she has never been touched by the sun, I push her off. "What do you think you are doing?" I say trying to hold it together. "My name is Iris by the way and you should control your little partner I could feel it poking." she says walking into my room.

I twitch in annoyance but proceed to watch as guard. I wait hours on end thinking of countless plans but cannot come up with a coherent one before passing out in the chair. I feel a breeze and wake up to the sounds of heavy metal hitting something. "You finally wake up." Trey says with a gun pointed at me. I raise both my hands and stand up. "I look to the side of him to see Iris tied up on the floor. "Hell are you doing this for Trey?" I ask with a disgusted look. "Since you wanted to play hero so bad it got us into this mess so I plan on getting out of it." Trey responds with a smirk. "Trey think it ov-" I try to say. "I already thought it over and I came to the conclusion that both you and your brother are both dead weight. "The hell did you say" I say walking towards him. Trey fires a bullet into the ground. "Don't think I won't shoot you fucker." he says pointing the gun at me again. "Stop you won't get out of this if you turn me in." Iris says with a soft look on her face. "Bitch I wasn't talking to you shut the fuck up." he says kicking her in the stomach. she proceeds to cough out some blood. "TREY CHILL OUT!" I yell. Before I knew it I felt a sharp pain in my knee. "Watch your tone." he says as the gun is smoking.  I look down at my leg to see a hole through it and the pain rushes throughout my body. "You bastard." I say holding my leg. 

"Well you can't act like a hero when you are nothing more than a-" Trey tries to say but is tackled by Mako. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING TREY!" Mako yells at him. "Get off me you fucking waste of space." Trey responds scuffling with him. To my horror I hear a gun shot ring in my ears and see Mako go limp. "Mako, No no no no no..." I say hopping over to him before falling. I see a bullet hole in his head and see his eyes wide open not responding to my cries. Trey stands up snickering. "Died as useless as he lived." he says walking away. "I'll make sure you pay for this you fucking bastard!" I scream from the bottom of my lungs. "You can't get revenge from the grave." he scoffs pointing his gun at me and shooting me square in the face. Everything goes black I lose feeling in my body I feel my soul burning out and lose all senses. I feel a soft sensation on my lips and open my eyes to see Iris kissing me and feel my wound disappear. I scuffle back and look at her. "How am I alive?" I try to ask but before I could get an answer she starts fading away. "What did you do?" I ask her. "You have to avenge your brother." she says with a light smile. "Wait wait don't just leav-" I try to say. "You have the power to kill the one who took your brother so do it." Iris saying hugging me before fading into nothing. 

I stand up and close my brothers eyes. "I will kill that bastard with all my strength." I say while grabbing my katana. "Is there anyone else left in there!" I hear someone yelling over a megaphone. I walk out to see Trey on his knees with his hands up. "SIR I NEED YOU TO PUT DOWN YOUR WEAPON!" The PCU officer yells at me. I look around to see a bunch of guards with guns pointed at me. I raise my katana with all the hate I bear. "DO NOT MAKE ANY RASH MOVEMENTS AND DROP YOUR WEAPON!" he yells again. "How about you all just die." I say swinging my sword down with all the hate in my heart. I feel a chill throughout my body before I know it pools of blood are all around me and I am covered in blood. I see Trey's clothes on the ground before I know it a large grin appears on my face. "I got you." I say to myself before feeling a light tug on my pant leg. I see a child with white curly hair and brown eyes like mine.
