The Midnight Sky

Part 7

Chapter 13

The first time Bermuda meets the imminent Arcobaleno's known as Small Gia, it's during a tavern brawl that has somehow turned into a deadly dance of death. The platinum-haired Rain is crackling like a psychopath as he darts through the crowds- the glint of steel coming from his knife as he rapidly guts over patrons- and further colors himself crimson with blood.

He should intervene, Bermuda is aware of that, yet he cannot help but watch as those silver eyes alight with fiery fanaticism as the Rain eviscerates another man before spinning on heel to face another while extracting his previous victim's viscera.

Beautiful.

A part of the Vindice Warden wonders if the man is another stray- after all, he has to keep Jager on his toes somehow- yet he never quite gets the chance to ask. The dance is over and the performer has taken his bow before making his way to exit the stage. The Night Arcobaleno follows but by time he turns the corner the Rain has gone missing.

The second time Bermuda meets Small Gia the platinum haired man is The Rain Arcobaleno and with the current eras Lightning Arcobaleno; Big Pino. Regrettably, they do not meet for pleasantries but rather the Vindice are there on business. The Vindice understand anger- especially at Checkerface- but the Law is the Law and they will uphold it till their bodies turn to dust in the wind.

"Rain Arcobaleno Small Gia and Lightning Arcobaleno Big Pino, For breaking Omerta, Killing sixty-eight civilians- "

The Night Arcobaleno half listens to Jager speak while the other half is busy observing the two Arcobaleno- who's fear and rage was saturating the night air surrounding them- in thought. The two are rather impatient, the emerald-eyed Chibi decides as both Arcobaleno share a look before charging forwards in a vain hope to catch The Vindice off guard.

Its the wrong move on their behalf, Jager has been in a horrendous mood as of late- no thanks to Jack- and was ecstatic to have willing volunteers to take his frustrations out upon. A one-sided bloodbath wouldn't even begin to describe the results of Jager's temper.

Bermuda wisely decides to keep the fact The Rain was his Guardian to himself for the time being.

When one thinks of Vendicare they likely think of a literal Hell on Earth: Fiery pits, unspoken horror, sadistic torture, devils disguised as bandaged Gentleman, agonizing unbearable pain and bloodstained walls.

Growing up, Small Gia had heard whispers warning- as Malfoys do not gossip- of the creatures that lurked within the darkness and it had only gotten worse once he joined the Mafia-His parents had stared in open horror when they discovered he was a squib with Flames instead of magic, there eyes darting nervously to and fro as though expecting something to appear and slaughter them all- and learned his childhood boogeymen were quite real.

In a way, Small Gia wasn't disappointed; Vendicare was everything he ever imaged though apparently someone had forgotten to mention it was an asylum as well and they were allowing the craziest patients to run the prison.

"Catch that Basilisk!" A blue-haired Vindice screamed as he chased after a twenty-foot look, newly hatched King of the Serpents, followed moments behind by a furious dark haired Vindice with a lone goldeneye. "Alejandro, I told you not to steal that egg!" A sheepish look crossed the other Vindice's face but he didn't bother slowly down- wither he was actually chasing the basilisk or fleeing the other Vindice was the real question. "Sorry Jager, It was just so adorable I couldn't help myself!"
