'Nobody can stay friends,forever...'-Operator

"Like lullabies you are,
Forever in my mind."
After the ceremony,the six Kings had everyone in their legion to swore an oath and never reveal their identity,even when they didn't know the Kings' identities yet.One particular avatar had a problem with socializing though,it was Black Death,a member in Operator's legion,though the name may be too...inappropriate...she had befriend the silent Purple King because of their pasts.
"I see you in all,
The pieces in my life."
Black Death had a love life that turned out like Operator's,not because she didn't want to say goodbye,it's because the opportunity never came.Her lover,Zakī,had died suddenly which she later found out that we was also a former DSRC player named Lemon Bomb.As a former member of Jester's legion,he was very talented in stunts and tricks,his famous act was 'Bomb Burst'.He ended up getting hurt in DSRC,causing his pain in the virtual reality game to inflict onto him in real life.
"Though you weren't mine,
You were my first love."
There were about 205 more members in Trooper's legion,who were all trained in Kendo,Taekwondo,Wushu and etc,etc.
They all have the discipline like other Greens,the opposite of Yellows,who were loud and obnoxious.Still,something about that photo frame bothered him,the way the previous Green King was protective around Operator or the fact that he knew nothing about them.

Few years ago,a week after Combatant's death.
The young boy shuffled his avatar's feet nervously,the fact that being a king and having a whole legion looking at him frighten him.The first day of being the new Green King,he had done all his work quietly inside his room,unlike Combatant who did it with all his colleagues.However,Trooper was polite and delicate while Combatant appeared to be more.,barbaric..his 'subjects' had accepted the fact that Trooper wanted to be in his room for the first few days.

"I wanted to,..go away with you,"
Operator remember the words Combatant said before the meeting,before Preceptor's death,before the war,he said that he wanted to take Operator to somewhere far,far away to live happily..forever.She gently removed the delicate glass casing,to reveal a sliver necklace.It was beautiful,made from the best sliver bars into a gift..just for her..
Thump,thump pa a thump!
Dead love wasn't it?A love that could never happened,a forgotten King and a silent Queen.
Thump pa a thump!
"And I will leave...all my troubles here."

Every King,no,everyone had a tale.Whether it be a romance,adventure or even heartbreak,everyone had at least one.Behind the mask,Jester wasn't a happy person,he was a King longing for love and someone to care for.He would cry and throw tantrums in his room,where no one notices...or even think he would do such a thing.Inside Contriver's heart,his choices weren't always what he want,in the deep depths of his heart,he had regrets.Regrets about Combatant,regrets of even allowing the execution to happen.
.
.
"I wanted to...run away with you."
.
.
.
.
Even the sharp Blue King had a disturbing past.In the public's eyes,he would be a intelligent,sharp-eyed man.But to him,he was no more than a hunter,made to kill,made to hurt.He would fire arrows at targets non-stop to ease his rage.
.
.
.
"And I will bring,all my dreams and fear."
.
.
Scarlet would toss in her sleep,her commander's death turned into a nightmare.His cries and pleads made her ears hurt,regret filled her heart to the brim,leaving no room for her own emotions.Nightmares were her fears.
.
.
"Like lullabies you are,
Forever in my mind."
Why does love hurt?They would ask themselves,only to find the answer...soon later...and later...until it'd too late.Why love..if this would happen?6 sorrowful Kings.
"I see you in all,
The pieces in my life."
Shards of glass clung onto Operator in the hospital wing,she had bandaged her wounds on her own.'This..isn't happening..'She thought while thinking about Combatant's execution.Only a few minutes away,a second in real life.A minute..the last minute with her past lover...a minute to erase all his memories of DSRC...and her.
"Though you weren't mine....
Like lullabies you are,
Forever in my mind."
Jester cried as he thrashed his arms and threw all the items on his table,out of...rage and sadness.Was it true?Could the ambassador of joy inflict pain on himself?Even the darkest place...the deepest holes...the most unfamiliar places..he could spread joy.But no,today was the day his beloved friend will die..and never remember a single fragment of him.
"I see you in all,
The pieces in my life."
Contriver had predicted and assumed that their futures would be bright,not this...his mask had tears running down from the corners onto the cloth.'Was this..the end?'..
"Though you weren't mine...

Though you weren't mine........"

"You were my first love..."

"You were my first love..."

"I wanted to..start again with you.."

"And I will leave..all my worries here,"

"I wanted only you."

"And all that I have felt with you,"

"Like lullabies you are,
Forever in my mind."

"I see you in all,
The pieces in my life."

"Though you weren't mine.."

"Like lullabies you are,
Forever in my mind."

"I see you in all,
The pieces in my life."

"Though you weren't mine.."

"Though you weren't mine.."

"You were my first love."

"You were my first love."

"You were my first love...."
