•Reisi Munakata, the 4th King, The Blue King•

I, myself, am heading towards the Mahashira Tower again after the meeting. I must admit that the twins that have come out of nowhere surprised me. With them, we would be able to secure ourselves and have our questions answered.

The Chamber of Slates is as quiet as usual. The slate glowed with a blue aura and had me staring at it.

For the past few days, the slates have been getting stronger and I fear that I wouldn't be able to control it any longer. It had been so much easier a few days ago.

I shook my head, denying of myself and walked out of the chamber.

I have got to rest early as tomorrow we would be going over to the Purple King's domain. I would want to have my questions answered as they're the closest thing to the Gold King in receiving information.

I've ordered my clansmen to rest up and get ready for tomorrow to the Purple King's domain. I fear that there's something that we're not told about.

•Yashiro Isana, the 1st King, the Silver King•

Me, Kuroh and Neko were eating an early breakfast while the sun was slowly rising on the horizon. I gave myself a stretch and relaxed my muscle to remember this moment.

As promise, Eon and Ion had sent their tower's coordinates to Kuroh's PDA. We were on our way there now after our breakfast. It was within walking distance so I didn't bother to use a car neither did the others for we are old -fashioned.

It was already 8:00 a.m. by the time we arrived and the city is coming alive with cars on the streets and shops opening for business.

The tower that we arrived at was average. It was painted with different shades of purple that looks inviting but it also had a hint of dark feeling that makes you want to stay away. Overall, it looks like any other building.

I see from a distance that the others had arrived earlier than expected.

"Good morning," I said.

I received a few nods and 'good mornings' from them. They look a bit sleepy and I shook my head in amusement. Nobody told them to arrive early. I bet that Eon and Ion are still asleep.

"I would have expected something more but a nightclub?" Yo Chitose, one of the Red Clansman spoke up.

"You've been here before?" I questioned.

"Well yeah, a club for strains."

"Wasn't this where you met Maria?" Masaomi Dewa, another Red Clansman asked.

Chitose nodded.

"Well what do you expect," I said. "They were once known the 'The King of Strains.'"

I got a hit on my head after everyone stared at me weirdly and I sense a hint of anger. An annoyed Kuroh with his fist tightened looks to be the culprit.

"Well wasn't it obvious," I said trying to calm them down. "Eon was the first strain to walk on earth. I thought I had mentioned it."

"Unbelievable," Fushimi said. "Not everybody is smart, especially the Reds."

"What did you say, monkey?!" Yata shouted back.

The tension was high and I look towards Kuroh in desperation. A fake cough sounded and everyone look towards Reisi. A sigh of relief came over me.

"Anyway, let's go in." Reisi said.

"Yeah," I responded in agreement.

•Anna Kushina, the 3rd King, the Red King•

The main entrance was empty and no one was around at all. It looks like any other hotel lobby. The sofas and tables were neatly place. The elevators at the end of the room and in the middle hanged a chandelier, the lights glowing purple through my marbles.

Chitose knows the way of the building and the floors where the Purple King should be in.

"This floor is just a coverup so people would think it is just like any other building." Chitose explained. "The nightclub consist of five floors, 3rd to the 7th floor. Bedrooms which I assume the clansman sleep in are the other floors. I once pass by their living room here and met a guy named Aon."

"Aon?!" Shiro said.

"Yeah, you know him?"

"We know him," Yata said in a sarcastic tone. "We've met him yesterday. The Purple King's number 2."

Coincidence? I think not. I walked over towards the elevator and saw there were three. The doors open automatically but I didn't let it scare me. I went to the one on the left while Shiro went to middle, leaving Reisi on the right.

"See you guys on the top floor," Shiro said as it close.

It wasn't a minute more that the elevator door open on the 3rd floor. Izumo tried pressing the top floor but it wouldn't budge.

"It's useless," Fushimi came out from the elevator and I saw him walking around the room. "I'm guessing that they've program the lift to stop at that point."

I walked out with my clan and I see the others did too. The room was empty and the four floors could be seen as the middle floor was opened. I guess that the 3rd floor is the main dance room.

"What're we suppose to do now?" Yata shouted to no one in particular.

"How about you tell us,"

I felt a presence of not one but many on all of the floors above us. That's when I saw it, the glint of their eyes in the dark. They've surrounded us.

"Let's start shall we."
