Tord's Red Army

Demonstration

Tord was right, he knew the girls were excited. As he, the other guys and Rachel all walked out onto the courtyard they saw Violet and Yuki setting up. Violet had already put a huge cinematic type screen on the wall of the base facing out to the courtyard, while Yuki was gathering chairs and setting those up so that they were lined up in rows directly in front of the screen.

Tord chuckled at their eagerness and moved to help them, the others followed his lead. They were setting up various speakers and screens, Violet and Yuki having more done as they were faster than everyone else combined. Tord had noticed a single flaw in their plan. "How were they going to plug all of these electrical goods in?"

Tord looked to his sisters who were quickly prepping all of the chairs and smiled. He figured out how they planned to keep everything running, they were probably going to take it in shifts and use their powers. How he wished he had powers like them, then they wouldn't have to do all the hard work themselves. Unfortunately for him though, only Yuki was blessed with this gift or curse depending on how you look at it.

Violet sat down on one of the chairs she had set up and sighed. She was exhausted, she had used most of her power up teleporting the giant screen to their location and setting it up. She was thankful that Yuki was taking on the first shift although, she wondered if Tord had caught onto their plan. "Probably not. If he did he would have stopped us by now."

Tristan smiled as he watched Violet work. He had to tell her how he felt, he loved her too much to let her just slip away from him. Although his problem was that he didn't know how to tell her. Tristan knew that he would have to wait a while before telling her though because of her past experience with boys, she had told him one night that Before I met you I would have assumed all boys are just users and abusers. It's nice to meet a boy that's nice for once, I didn't know there were boys like you out there. I actually like calling you my friend! Is that a problem?

Tristan found it saddening then that she thought it was a problem having a boy friend. At that point he had just recently found out about the events that had happened with Jacob, his heart ached for her, he remembered thinking "how could somebody do that to a sweet soul like Violet? What could she have possibly done to deserve any of that? Nothing, that's what!" He had been scared to tell her how he felt after that day, he didn't want to be the next one to hurt her even if this desperate need for her love hurt him. He would be selfless for her, "Maybe if I wait long enough then she may love me back. Maybe this act of selflessness will be enough for her." Tristan could only hope that was the case.

The troops had finally set everything up and Violet was relieved, she could finally take another break before Yuki gathered the victims. Violet spread her wings wide open, showing off streaks of purple throughout her black wings. She didn't like her wings as much as she used to, they now remind her of all the pain she has suffered throughout the years - a streak for each stab to her heart- she admitted she liked the colour though, it was like a pastel shade of purple with a sort of pink-ish tinge to it and when she spread her wings out wide like she was doing now, the streaks seem to glow and sparkle like a disco ball. Admittedly though, it brings a whole lot of attention and it's not always the wanted kind.

Yuki seen Tristan staring at Violet again making goo-goo eyes at her. "Why did he not just tell her? It would make things so much easier, if he didn't do it soon then she would. It's not fair that they won't tell each other how they feel and then are leaving the other wondering if their dream will come true or if they'll end up broken hearted." Yuki walked up to Tristan and yelled loud enough for him to hear her 'Hey lover-boy!' Yuki giggled when he spun on his heels and gave her a death stare. He put his index finger to his lips and hushed her, 'Yuki she could of heard that!' He whined until he realised what he had done 'Wai-wait Yuki I didn't mean -'

Yuki didn't let him finish before she said 'I already knew.'
'H-How? I never told anyone about it.'
'Your not exactly subtle like at all.'
'Oh yeah, that's true.'
'You should tell her, you know?'
'Yeah 'cause that will go down well, won't it?'
'Yeah, of course it will! I mean why wouldn't it?'
'Well, look at what happened before. I don't want to hurt her again, she's had enough of that.'
'You're different though, you make her happy. I can tell, sisterly intuition. I think you may be surprised with the answer you'll get from her.'
'What are you hinting at Yuki?'
'You'll see, you'll see.'

Tristan looked at Yuki in confusion, " She was hinting at something, but what?" He felt like the answer was right in front of him, his thoughts were interrupted by a bright light coming from where Violet was standing and Yuki running towards it calling out her name. If Yuki was running then it was bad, she sounded scared so it was obviously something she hadn't seen before or it certainly wasn't something she was used to.

He ran after Yuki and sighed when he seen Violet safe from harm. He asked 'What was that light?'
'That was Violet!'
'What!'
'I know! I was scared to death, I thought it was a bomb or something!'
'S-sorry, I didn't mean to.' Violet whimpered with tears in her eyes.
'It's ok, it's alright. Please stop crying.' Tristan and Yuki said in unison, Tristan started wiping away her tears while Yuki was pulled her in for a hug.

They stayed like that until Yuki had to go through her white void and gather their victims, before Yuki walked in she turned to look at them again, smiled and gave a salute then walked through the portal. Tristan was hugging Violet as Yuki left, they smiled and saluted back even though she wouldn't have seen them then they looked to each other and smiled. In that one moment everything made sense to her again.

The conversation with Yuki actually happened to me. I was Tristan in that situation. XD
