Panicked screams filled the air as the residents of Kuo Kuana ran for their lives. Lying in a heap inside the ruins of a now destroyed clothing shop, Shiro would use "Will" as a crutch as he stood to his feet. His left arm, hanging uselessly at his side, having been completely dislocated. A warm liquid trailed down the right side of his face, causing him to shut that eye as small droplets of blood hit the ground below...
[Shirokuro "Toji" Kumo: (Narrating) "Have I really been wasting away on this island for the last three years?"]
Gritting his teeth in anger, Shiro shuffled toward what used to be the shop's entrance, which was now reduced to nothing more than a splintered doorway with a bit of wall still clinging to it. Children, who would otherwise be playing happily with their friends and family, were now crying as they desperately searched for them amongst the debris and chaos. Bracing himself, Shiro would then slam his left shoulder into the doorframe, an audible pop could be heard as he forced his dislocated arm back into its socket. The pain was excruciating, causing Shiro to let out a muffled grunt.
~ SKREEONK! ~
The intense roar of a large creature could be heard throughout the entirety of the Island. In the distance, a combination of red and blue lights could be seen flashing. Shiro's eye widened as he observed the back of a familiar figure standing in mid-air as the blast from the creature was being redirected elsewhere. It's initial target...
"Whis?" Shiro uttered.
[Shirokuro "Toji" Kumo: (Narrating) "Just what in the hell... have I been doing all this time?!"]
Yesterday...
Ilia watched with bated breath as both Adam and Shiro sized each other up. The air became frigid, tension building with every passing second. Behind his mask, Adam's eyes burned with contempt. In comparison, Shiro's expression was one of focused anger...
"What do you want?" Shiro spat, his voice low and full of venom.
Feigning innocence, Adam smiled and raised both his hands up in a defensive manner before speaking.
"Such a murderous look on your face is unbecoming for a member of the Menagerie guard. You can relax Shiro... I'm just here to talk." he explained.
Shiro's eyes narrowed before he spoke...
"Will"
Adam cautiously rested his hand upon the handle of "Wilt" as the phrase left Shiro's mouth. Ilia's ears then perked up as she heard someone or something approaching their location at blinding speed. Ilia immediately jumped back near Adam who still hadn't broken eye contact with Shiro, even as "Will" came slamming down into the concrete, kicking up a cloud of dust and debris. Grabbing the double-edged weapon by its handle, Shiro plucked the blade from the ground and pointed it towards Adam...
"Just here to talk? Fine, but if that's the case, then you can start by telling me... where exactly is Blake Belladonna?" Shiro growled, his question sounded like more of a demand than an inquiry.
Adam's expression remained unchanging, a sinister smile playing on his lips. He lowered his hands slowly, a mockingly calm demeanor contrasting with the tension in the air...
"Ah, the ever-elusive Blake Belladonna. It's crazy to me, you know? That even after all these years, you're still so damn loyal to her...
Gritting his teeth, Shiro took a step forward.
"Oh? You're not planning to harm me are you, Shiro? I'm merely having a conversation with an old acquaintance. Think about how that'd look to the people of Menagerie. An honorary member of the guard, attacking someone without just cause..."
