Chapter 1: Past beginnings
Disclaimer: I don't own K Project.
"The red king's sword is deteriorating... So it's finally come to this...", a soft murmur in the wind was barely heard.
The final battle.
The fall of kings.
It wasn't suppose to happen like this. None of this should have happened in the first place.
'Why?' a single thought went through his head.
Saruhiko stared in the horizon. His focus straight in the sky, right on the two remaining swords. That one single thought was the only thing in his mind. He wondered if fate enjoyed watching men suffer or if she is just plain cruel as this. Forcing upon the never ending cyle of pain and suffering.
Memories came to him one by one then all of his memories suddenly bombarded him forcing him to kneel and clutch his head as if his life depended on it. Not a single sound managed to pass his senses, not even the alarmed screaming of the Lieutenant of Scepter 4 brought him to his senses nor did the shaking of his body courtesy of Hidaka affect him.
Nothing at all.
He fell down to his sides, curling up in a fetal position with eyes shut tightly. A whimper of pain managed to slip out of his lips adding to the worry of the blue clan.
'How odd... They don't normally care of my well being... I wonder what's with the change of heart...' he could not help but think of the abnormal situation despite the pain until he felt an excruciating pain surging through his whole body concentrating mostly in the brain. He let out a heart-wrenching scream that seemed so unbefitting for someone like him increasing the concern of his comrades.
Another set of memories flooded his mind accompanied with the pain. Images of swords, light, darkness, a child, and crystals flashed in a speed that he could not comprehend.
Then, light overwhelmed him.
In the midst of the battle between the Blue King, Munakata Reisi and the Red King, Suoh Mikoto, a sudden blast of light more powerful than what they've ever encountered washed over the two forcing them to put up the strongest barrier they could ever conjure to survive. Unfortunately, their barriers broke allowing the light to completely engulf their being.
The wave continued to flow like an endless river until finally stopping after what seemed to be an eternity.
Oddly enough, no pain was felt throughout the ordeal, only warmth and longing. Longing for what, they did not know.
The wave ceased and the world seemed so peaceful as if no war has ever occured in the first place. It was something unheard of for anyone who has gone through the chain of events.
In an attempt to recover from the shock they just went through, they stood up and looked around. Much to their surprise, the supposedly dead red clansman Totsuka and the Silver king, Isana Yashiro was lying on the ground, breathing.
Their surprise did not end there when they realized that both their sword of damocles was completely healed just as how it would be on the first day that they were chosen as kings. The barren landscape that they fought on was returned to its original state as well.
"Such power... This is astounding yet quite terrifying in its own right." Munakata exclaimed after seeing the effects the light brought to the area.
" The hell is going on?!" Mikoto said after realizing what happened to his sword and clansman.
"For one thing, this is no ordinary miracle... Quite interesting if I do say do myself." Munakata replied while attempting to contact his second-in-command.
It took a few tries until Munakata managed to get a hold of Awashima. However, instead of her usual composed self, what greated the Blue king was the hystetical lieutenant barking off orders to stabilize a certain raven haired male of his condition before something even worse occurs.
"Awashima-kun, what is going on?" Munakata asked in his normal calm tone though his eyes betrayed his voice.
"Sir, Fushimi suddenly collapsed and released a wave of light of sorts. He has been unresponsive of anything until he started to whimper and cry out in pain. No one knows what exactly is going on with him sir. Your orders?" Awashima spoke with her usual respectful tone though underlining her concern over the bluenette.
"Move him to the medical wing of the HQ immediately! Secure his location and don't let anyone hinder the process. Put him on top priority!" Munakata exclaimed in an anxious tone, not even bothering to cover it up in the first place.
"Understood." The short clipped reply of the lieutenant informed him that it was much worse that what he thought.
Ending the call, he looked back at Mikoto with a sigh. Seeing his questioning stare, he knew that he had to inform him as well of what has conspired.
"Well... Now we know where that light came from."
Though it did not satisfy the thirst for answer of Mikoto's questioning stare at all.
A/N: This is my first time... This is actually just a test... So should I continue?
