The Unified Soul

Don't Disobey Me

Aaron and Kawaii~Chan made it to the house they once stayed in. Everything was a mess, from the floors to the furniture, and it brought back both the good and the bad memories.

"Oh my Irene. This place..." Kawaii~Chan gasped upon seeing it thrown apart like a torn ragdoll.

"Is ruined." Aaron finished and looked around the house.

He could see Garroth, Lucinda, Aphmau and Kawaii~Chan playing cards in the dining room, Aphmau playing the wrong game and everyone laughing. 

Blaze walking into the kitchen to see himself cooking with his sister.

His parents walking down the halls smiling and planning the next event for the family.

Airis running around with the pack in the living room while Zane was asking about a ball he found in the toilet. Aaron remembered so much in just that brief moment, especially how happy they were before the Guardian Forces attacked them. It made him all the more sad and terrified for his friends and family.

Kawaii~Chan looked around and started picking up the mess, "We could at least clean up the place." She said sadly.

"Maybe we shouldn't." Aaron stopped her, "The Guardian Forces may notice the change the next time they come through here."

"Yeah." Kawaii~Chan put down the pieces of the vase she was cleaning up, but as she stood up and looked back at the living room, she noticed something sitting on the table.

"What's that?" She asked and drew Aaron's attention to it. His eyes widened at the sight of the familiar object.

"That's..." They walked over to the table and saw the same sword that Aaron and Airis saw in Terrence's house. The sword that was said to have the ability to kill werewolves with a single cut. The same sword that Airis looked terrified to see.

Next to the sword was a note.

"A note?" Kawaii~Chan questioned and Aaron picked it up to read it.

"Things are getting pretty rough around here. I can't hold on to this anymore so I thought I should let you have it - Terry."

"Terry? How can this be here? He must've left it here after the raid."

"Yeah, and recently, too. I don't think the Guardian Forces would've left it here."

"But why would someone leave it here?"

"I don't know, but there are two things I know for sure about this sword: It's deadly to demons, monsters and werewolves. And Airis was terrified of it."

"Airis was terrified? If that's the case, we shouldn't move it or touch it. If Airis is scared of this thing, then it must be really dangerous."

"You're right. For now, let's leave it as is. For now, let's find a way to find the others before the Guardian Forces do. The sooner we do that, the sooner we can get back to Airis and the others at the cave."

Kawaii~chan nodded in agreement and the two got started with coming up with ideas to find the others.

In a top secret location, Michael was walking down the halls with his head researcher. He was informed of a stranger that infiltrated their base and Michael was called to investigate.

"He was here before we got to the control room." The researcher said, "He hasn't let anyone in."

"Who let him in?" Michael asked angrily.

"You don't understand. I think he was here before us. Maybe he was... always here." 

Michael stopped and turned to face his head researcher, "Why do you think that?"
