Alignment of Kings [K Project]

Prologue

The air was heavily thick with a tense and stiffening atmosphere. Standing a few feet across from each other, the blue and red kings glared at each other. Tension crackling like lightning in between each other. Standing a few paces behind the red king, a young girl, about ten or eleven stood watching. Her eyes full of concern and her lips pursed together in anticipation.

The red king raised his head up to the sky. His eyes fell forward to the giant crumbling sword that stood above him. In a few minutes, the sword will fall and kill him. In a few moments, Hell was going to be unleashed upon the land. Smirking a plainly sad smirk, he reverted his attention away from his crumbling sword and a bit over to the young girl behind her. His eyes, a dark amber colour, full of concern for her.

He knew that the little girl was going to be okay, but he couldn't help but worry what she was going to do after his death. A silent telepathic link synced between them. A message from the red king to her.

At first, the young girl seemed reluctant to obey command from her king, but after a glaring warning from the king, the girl, still reluctant, turned away and started walking away from the to be battle ground. As she walked away, the red king saw what he thought to be a tear rolling off her cheeks. Had she been crying? If so, why? He wondered. But he didn't have time to think of answers for them. The battle, final battle, between him and the blue king, was starting.

I'm sorry Chise, I won't be able to spend your birthday with you this time....

~K K~

The girl, Chise, by the time the red and blue kings started their battle, had somewhat gotten as far away from the central conflict as possible. Right now, she was trying to warn as many people as she could to get out of their houses and run as far away as possible as they could. But none of them listened and she was stuck.

Why won't they listen? She wondered and felt more hot tears forming. Looking up into the sky, she could plainly see that the red sword of Damocles was starting to reach its limits. In a few more minutes, the sword will fall and Hell will be unleashed.

"Minami Chise,"

Chise's eyes widened and she sharply turned around to see men dressed in blue protocol uniforms. Scepter 4. Great, that's what she needed. Instinctively positioning herself into a defensive form, Chise glared at them.

In the front of the men in blue was a tall and muscular man with lots of battle scars. A sharp and almost paralysing gleam in his brown eyes behind his spectacles. Chise recognised him immediately. He was Gōki Zenjō, the lieutenant of the consistently annoying Scepter 4.

"You're under arrest for your crimes of working alongside the red king."

Tsk! Chise narrowed her eyes dangerously at them, at that, a bright vibrant red aura started spiralling around her body. Crackles of flames licked the ground and turning her eyes upbeat to a dangerous red colour.

One last fight....Chise thought before a bright light flashes through her vision and plundering her into a silent yet strangely comforting darkness.
