Welcome all to my new story! Now that I finally have some free time, I decided to publish a new story. If you guys all remember my OC Mahpari, you'll finally get to see her without the AU pluses I gave her, such as being able to transform into her Barian Form. (You'll understand later in this story.) Enjoy, my friends!

The dark of the room was lit slightly by the crystals that were in the corners. It was a faint, red, pulsing light, but it was a light nonetheless. As long as something kept the shadows away, it didn't matter.
In the middle of the room was a twin bed. Barely enough to have a snug fit with two people. Sitting in the middle of the bed was a young girl. Her gray hair just barely went past her shoulders, and the tips of said hair were orange. There were cat-like spikes at the top of her head, those of which had orange tips as well. Her bangs could've covered her eyes if she didn't keep two parts combed over to her cheeks. The girl's smokey-gray eyes were scanning over pages in a relatively thick book, and by the looks of it, she did not want to stop reading.
Although, she didn't really have a choice this time.
There was a knock on the wall that was sided with the small entrance to this little room. The girl jumped, hardly being able to keep her page as she stared at the source of the noise.
"I know you jumped. Calm down, it's only me."
She relaxed. She recognized this voice, and trusted the person that it belonged to.
A flash of light illuminated the room completely for a moment, and when it faded, there was a figure standing before the girl. A smile appeared on her face as she stared up at him.
"Durbe!" she screeched, latching onto him affectionately. "Nii-san! You're back!"
Durbe chuckled and ruffled the girl's hair. "Yeah. I'm back, Mahpari." He grabbed her shoulders and bent to her height, staring into her eyes. "How's my sister been?"
"I'm doing fine," Mahpari replied, keeping that smile on her face as she giggled. "I just got lonely."
"You could've gone out of the room if you were so lonely, you know."
At this, Mahpari flinched, the smile fading from her expression and being replaced by a look of fear. "N-No," she whispered.
Durbe sighed, standing all the way up. "I see. You're bent on staying hidden."
"Yeah...but that's 'cause I only trust two of the Barians. And one of them isn't even here anymore..."
This confused Durbe. He tilted his head and stared at his little sister, who looked up at him with a slightly saddened expression.
And then, it dawned on him what she meant, who she was talking about. A scowl crossed Durbe's facial features, something Mahpari had been expecting.
"We agreed never to speak of him again, Mahpari," Durbe said in a strict tone. "Never ever again."
Mahpari frowned. "No fair!" she whined. "He was my best friend! It isn't my fault you sent him away, Nii-san!"
"I know, it's his fault! He shouldn't have tried to harm you!"
"But he didn't! He never did!"
"I don't care." Durbe kept his firm look as he changed to his human form. He adjusted his glasses, then crossed his arms. "What's done is done. And I don't want to hear one more word on this topic."
"But-"
"Not one more word."
Mahpari was about to protest, but she only ended up sighing again, a sign she'd given up trying to defend her childhood friend. It was no use. Durbe was convinced he had done the right thing that day.
Even though she knew it was the wrong thing, and deep down, so did he.

Shadows flooding the room were soon evaporated into nothingness as a bright light illuminated it, but the shadows soon returned, for the light only lasted a mere second. The silence was ominous, and it was only broken by footsteps that were set at a slightly fast pace.
"Did you bring it?" came a voice from deep within the shadows.
"Yeah. I brought it. Would you get out of the shadows though? I can't see crap."
"Fine."
Part of the room suddenly lit up. It was a dull light, but enough for the boy to see where he was going. Out of the darkness stepped one of the Barians, his cloak over his body. His violet orbs of eyes stared right into the light-red ones that were barely below his level of height.
"Show it to me," he said.
Slowly, the boy pulled something that appeared to be a needle out of his back pocket. He grinned. "There ya go, Vector. I got exactly what you wanted me to get, and more."
"And more?!" Vector screeched in a shocked tone of voice. "What more?"
"I added a little something something to make it better. You'll see what else once it's been used on Durbe."
Vector chuckled. He then giggled, which eventually escalated into a sick, twisted laugh.
"Perfect! Finally, we'll be able to overthrow the Barian Leader! I'll take his spot, then unleash chaos upon all three worlds!"
The boy before Vector grinned, running a hand through his black, spiky bangs. "And with me by your side, there's nothing that can stop us."
"Nope. Not a thing." As Vector was about to walk away, he stopped, then gave the boy a strange look. "By the way, why did you decide to help me?" he asked.
"Why? It's because I have a grudge against Durbe. That's why. What he did to me in the past...just ticked me off." The grin vanished, and it was replaced with a look of pure evil and hate. "He believed that if I came near his little sister, I'd harm her."
"A lie. I was the only one to harm her. Which is why I'm still baffled at why you'd help."
"I have nothing against you. I have everything against Durbe. It's that simple."
Vector shrugged. He then walked away, vanishing completely only seconds after that.
The boy, however, remained where he was. He smirked, once again running his hand through his bangs.
"Idiot. I'm after all of the Barians. And I'll prove to them all that I can so take care of Mahpari. Especially to Durbe," he said. Then his smirk turned to a toothy grin. "I'll show them all. I'll show them all the horrors that I, Koi, can bring!"
