*-*-A*Day*Earlier-*-*

Phil's POV

"Dan!" I shout from the fire. "Food is done!"
No response.
I take the pot off the fire and set it off on a table.
I turn towards our house in confusion.
"Dan! Dinner!" I yell.
Still nothing.
"What the bloody hell?"
I take the door knob in hand, turning it. Pushing open the door, I go inside.
Once Im inside the house I go directly for the livingroom.
"Da-"
I'm cut off by a hand over my mouth.
I scream in horror as I see Dan tied to a chair.
Tears are streaming down his cheeks along with blood.
I try to kick and punch whoever has hold of me, but they have hold of my arms and my kicks don't seem to be doing anything.
Tears threaten to fall from my eyes at the sight of the man I love being in pain.
"Let him go." A familiar voice says.
The person who has hold pf me then lets me go.
I fall to the ground and begin to sob.
"Oh get up you pathetic excuse of a person." The voice demands.
I slowly stand up and lift my head to see Leader Moskoff standing in front of me.
"What the? What's going on?" I ask.
"As you know, Mark, Jack, and Y/n have all gone up to the sky." He says.
"What is that even suppose to even mean?" I question.
"We're going to be execiting Mei Fischbach and Nova L/n. The only problem is that we have to capture Mark and Y/n before we can." He tells me.
"What? That doesn't even make any sense." I say.
Leader Moskoff sighs.
"Well then i guess we'll have to do this the hard way then."
"Wha-"
The same person as before, a protector, grabs my arms as Leaser Moskoff starts to beat Dan.
"NO!" I scream as I watch the Leader continue to hit him in the head.
"PLEASE STOP!! I'LL DO ANYTHING!"
He stops.
"Anything?" He asks.
I nod.
"I want you to go to the sky and bring Y/n and Mark to me." He says.
"Why?" I ask.
"So they can be forced to watch the execution of their parents and then they'll be punished for their crimes."

Their crimes?
They didn't do anything.

"What about Jack?"
He chuckles.
"That rodent will be exterminated with a device that we'll provide to you."
The Leader shows me a ring.
"I had this ring specially designed for that rat." He laughs.
"So I have to go up to the sky?" I ask.
The Leader nods.
"Why yes, of course."
I sigh.
"I'll do it."
I watch as Dan shakes his head and tries to tell me not to.
"When do I go?"
Three Protectors come out in front of me.
"Now."
The last thing I see is the three Protectors charging at me before everything goes black.

*-*Few*Hours*Before*Present*-*

I open my eyes.
Pain shoots throughout my head.
With a groan, I put my hand on my head.
"Where am I?" I question.
I look all around me and begin to take in all of my surroundings.
Something soft and green coats the ground.

What is this weird fabric?

Slowly, I stand up.
My legs are weak and I stumble a bit until I catch my balance.
"Freeze Human!" An unnaturally deep voice yells.
I stop in place, terrified of what the hell is going on.
That's when i see the owner of the voice along with a few others.
Five people who look like more advanced Protectors are walking towards me.

Why is there blue everywhere above me?
Green weird fabric too?
Wait.

My eyes widen in realization.

The sky.

"Look how special you are,"
I hear a snapping sound and suddenly my wrists are pulled together.
When I try to move them apart, they wont move.
"You get the pleasure of having the King himself decide your date."
I'm about to speak when I start to float off the ground.
I yelp in fear.
"How cute." One that has ocean blue eyes and white hair says.
"Look at how scared he looks." He comes close to me and touches my face.
I flinch away.
"Lets hurry and get him to the castle." One with brown hair amd green eyes says.
"You're never any fun Vine." The last one who has blonde hair and yellow eyes says.
"Maybe that's beacause I don't want to be put in the power deprecation room again Sun." The blonde haired one rolls his eyes.
"Yeah yeah. Let's go."
The three start to walk away from me, but I float to follow them.

What's going on?
Are they Demons?

Soon we make it to this large structure that I assume is this castle that they've been talking about.
They take me inside and the place is huge.
I stare in awe.
That is until I'm brought into a room that has a guy, who I think may be a Demon, sitting at a table.
I then crash to the floor.
I groan in pain.
"Take a seat Mr. Phil."
The black eyed man demands.
I get up from the floor and take a seat in the chair before I even realize what's going on.
"How did you know my name?" I ask.
"I ask the questions here." He says. "Now where are you from?"
"The Systems." I tell him.
He looks shocked at first, but quickly composes himself.
"Where is this Systems?" He asks.
"I have no idea." I admit.
"Well you better start getting an idea because the King will want to know." He tells me as he stands from his chair.
"But if I were you I'd make up a story of where you're from." He says.
"Why?" I ask.
He begins to pace back.
"I know someone else who is from there and telling the King about that place will only get you and everyone there killed."
I roll my eyes.
"And why should I trust you, a Demon?" I question in a matter of factly tone.
"Because I'm the only alibi you'll have in this place."
