Robot stared at the ground with wide eyes as tears rolled down his cheeks and dripped onto the grass below him. Truce ran over to Robot and rested his hand comfortingly on his back.

You stood there, completely frozen, your eyes wide with disbelief. Your heart pounded loudly in your chest, drowning out the sound around you. Alpha eyed robot with concern. He then shifted his gaze towards you. The look he saw on your face made him frown, and he hesitantly reached out for you.

"Red? Are you alright?" Alpha asked, his voice soft and gentle. You stood completely still and everyone turned towards you. Robot whimpered and clutched the grass in his palms. He then turned towards you and bit back his tears.

"Red...please, give me a reason to trust you. Give me a reason to fight for this side. Please..." Robot practically begged. You felt a lump form in your throat and you swallowed hard. Alpha gritted his teeth and took a step forward.

"Now listen here-" You held your arm out before him, stopping him. The wind brushed against your cloak whilst everyone stood to the side expectingly. You breathed in deeply and let out a heavy sigh.

"They deserve to know." You stated as your voice wavered. "Including you." Alpha's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. He then nodded, and waited silently for you to explain yourself. Your nails dug into your palms as you clenched it. You then looked up at everyone with a straight face. "Alright...I'll tell you everything. About how this war started. About...him." Alpha's eyes widened and he slowly turned towards you.

"B-but...you're only..." Alpha fumbled over his words. You smiled sadly at him. You then returned your gaze towards everyone's expecting faces.

"I'll start with the council of seven. The council of seven was an authoritative group that ruled over our timeline. It consisted of seven members." You began.

"So your timeline is a little bit like ours then." King presumed. You bit your lip and rubbed your arm.

"I suppose, it is, and it isn't."

"Continue." Robot prompted, his voice hoarse. You faltered slightly and nodded.

"About one hundred years ago, the leader of this group, Seventh, met a young boy. His name...was Tobio." Pandemonium's eyes widened slightly as well as Astro's.

Y/n turned towards him confusedly and blinked at him. Astro frowned, who was Tobio? And why...did that name sound so familiar? Alpha eyed you with a wary look as you continued with the story. How did you know all of this?

"At first, the council and Tobio became great friends. However, little did they know, Tobio was a back stabbing traitor." You spat and almost glared at the ground.

'You held onto Third as she cried her heart out. The medallions of Fifth and Sixth were clenched inside her hands as she trembled. Rage soon filled Third's entire being as she stood up. You looked at her in confusion and your chest clenched tightly.

"T-Third?"

"I'm going. I'm going to kill Tobio." Third stated. She then turned around and began to walk down the hallway as her eyes glowed a neon blue. In the distance, a blade scraping along the walls could be hurt. This terrified you.'
