Chapter 1- Enid

The dark cave shook like an earthquake that came unexpectedly as the pebbles and dusts dropped below at a young girl with golden eyes and an old man with crimson eyes. Their short conversation was interrupted when they heard a loud siren that was coming from the opening of a cave that they had taken shelter for decades together.

"They finally found us." The girl's soft voice said. The sound of the alarm almost blocked her voice, but the man hear it and smiled in relief.

"Drop your weapons and surrender! This is your first and final warning!" called out one soldier on a tank holding a megaphone to warn the wanted criminal that escaped death for decades.

He was surrounded by an army of men along with a line of tanks that were in the place called the middle of nowhere. As far as this place could stretch see there are more than a million men that surrounded in front an unknown cave. They waited to see the wanted criminal that would be sure to reveal himself. The known madman was finally at the verge of death since he was getting old and fragile. However, his age and appearance did not matter, this infamous criminal has kill to survive for one purpose before. Freedom, but there was no such thing as freedom for him. He never prayed to the unknown spirits that rejected him as a wandering crippled soul who created many crimes for a new purpose.

He had lived in vanity for the girl that was used to be a wriggling baby that was covered in blood, crying, and alive. He wrapped the child with his thick jacket and took her in as his personal apprentice and the last link to the Bolverk Squad. He was grateful to himself that he had saved an innocent life that swore her loyalty that will never betray him. She was still young, but he made sure that he kept a close eye on her actions when he's dead.

He was also scarred and a bit crippled from the fight he had that night, it was a long and exhausting fight, but it was a good fight. He would always remember that night with his fellow leader that was with him, yet he did not make it with him and he lived in such guilt for his entire life. The old man picked himself up with his cane to support his limping right leg that was broken years ago, and it never healed properly due to the lack of medical needs to help himself.

"Someone was pulling the strings for the entire time, even the Overseer ended being just a puppet. It all has been playing into his hand. Askad's death...Kary's malfunction...Even Omega's infection. Yet, I did not played by his cards, and he has been hunting me for decades..."

He pressed a button with his left thumb when he set up mines below the soldiers and the cannon tanks. Most of them died in the explosion, but the remaining soldiers opened fire since the leader commands them to fire at the cave that the wanted criminal was hiding for so many years.

"I've been fighting them for my entire life, but I can no longer do it. My body is decaying as we speak," He lifted his hand that was covered in red spots and it trembles with no fear."XV is finally bringing me down."

"...You lasted longer than anyone else master, you must not mourn."

"I don't have time to mourn or to be mourned on. I will die here in the heat of a glorious battle."

He put on his armor with a big smile on his face since it was finally the time to die. He heard his apprentice put on her black ninja mask from her neck that acted like a scarf.

"We both will, master." she said to him and he understood how loyal she was, such bravery from this young girl, however...

"No..." he said. "Not you Kaylenna. You will live on and destroy this blasphemy he created and called a new order, I have entrusted you with Omega's arts of death and my own sole purpose."

"I understand master." the girl softly clenches her gloved hands with no rejection in her voice.

He smiled to himself and he made his last raspy cough. His apprentice held onto him with her worried eyes looking at her master.

"I've waited...a long time for this moment"

"Will you be joining your friends soon again master?"

Xero smiled under his new bandaged mask and his eyemask was activated.

"heh-heh yeah, I'll be finally meeting them again tonight..."

They jumped out of their shelter and defeated many soldiers that were in their way…

That was the last time that she ever saw her master fighting with her in his decayed body. Now he can finally rest and pass it on to the last link who knew Bolverk, the Overseers, and that night...

Even though she wasn't physically shown onto the whole story, but she can visually see on how much her master suffered from his youth. Including his friends that were used and they were executed by an unknown person.

Enid...(code name Kaylenna), stood on a cliff looking at the worn out bloody photo with the printed text that stated: "Don't Forget". She stare at the blue man with his middle finger raised up at a red man's face for hours.

She snapped herself back and stare at her front distinct to an unfamiliar headquarter that had two outside guards standing on duty.

Exactly as he said

She thought to herself to the man who blurted out the location and information of that place and where that mastermind's partner was. She did thank him with her last bullet on a borrowed gun on the head instead of words.

Her crimson hair with black streaks blew from the sandy winds, she did not mind having the cluttering small sands that was hitting her semi-long, purple shirt. Then she activated her cervical armor, she readies herself for another round of a 1000 ways to kill again and again. Just the way her master taught her to do to find the one who had hunted him for decades...
