(Ciara - Paint It Black)

-Location Unknown. Dead of Night-

*Thunder*

*Heavy Rain*

The raging storm howl loudly into the night and all are at its' mercy. Its' thunderous sounds acts as if it beckons the end. Trees being pull off their roots from the devastating wind.

It was as if it was sign...an omen.

Within the dark forests lies an ancient secret that had been long forgotten by the people of Remnant.

However on this day, that secret...have been unearthed.

?: "We're in position...we've set charges. Waiting on your order sir."

A masked man in uniform is holding a detonator for explosion charges that had been planted on the wall of the side of a mountain.

?: "Good. Men take position, we'll be breaching in 3...2...1. *Signal to detonate*"

The masked man crouch and pressed the button.

*BOOM*

The explosive sound was mask by the thunderous storm as it rage intensely, the explosion blows out part of the mountain, once the dusts settle and rocks stop falling it eventually expose a hidden cavern.

?: "Captain, breaching was a success."

The Captain walk towards the large hole his armored uniform is drenched by the rain.

Captain: "Alright! Get into position! You have your orders! Search and Extract, you've been given Aura Tracker to locate the target."

The captain then sees his men checking their equipment.

Captain: "Alright let's move...*Looks up towards the skies* It seem the gods are upset for what we have done."

?: "YES SIR!"

The captain's men salute and quickly enter the cave with their equipment, they quickly switch on their devices.

*SCANNING SFX*

?: "Clear so far...must be deeper in."

The men walk in unison and saw many wondrous and strange things within the cave.

Captain: What a frightening looking statue...

The longer the captain gaze upon the statue it feels as if it was gazing back at him...right through his soul.

He quickly snap out of it as he hears someone call out to him.

?: "SIR! I THINK WE FOUND SOMETHING!"

The captain quickly turn his head to see his one of men running towards him.

Captain: "What is it?"

The man hesitate for a moment then answer.

?:"...A child sir...our scan is picking up a child in the room ahead of us."

The captain's pupil widen by his word...what on earth is a child doing here?

Captain: "Is that all? Are they no other besides the child?"

The man shook his head.

?: "We've scanned a good portion of the cavern sir...there's no other living soul beside the child...and get this sir. The child is who we're looking for."

The man then pass the scanner to the captain, he picks it up and read the results that was taken.

Captain: "This is impossible...our scan picked up a large Aura emitting from this area...is the scan telling me this child cause it?"

The man nod and answer.

?: "We've send the result to our research team...after looking at the results the doctor wants us to capture the child if possible, the child remain intact."

The Captain then groan in annoyance.

Captain: "That man always asking us to do the impossible, in the end we have to get our hands dirty while his remain clean. We're supposed to be soldiers of honor and a symbol of strength...now they're asking us to kidnap a child...*Sigh* no matter, let's locate the child and leave this forsaken ground."

The man nods and quickly return to his team. They arm themselves with their military grade weapons, in front of them stand a large door. The Captain signal his men to get into position.

Captain: Alright...GO!

At his command, they breach the room and take aim. When they enter, they look around to see a large hall at the center is an empty space with six large pillars three on each sides. The wall is cover with mounted candles.

However what attracted the Captain's attention is the Throne in front of them...and a child sitting on it.

The men then take aim at the child..only to see the child asleep without a care in the world.

The Captain take a good look at the child to see a young boy with black hair which is shoulder length, he's wearing a strange white garb of some sort.

(Imagine a young Alucard from Hellsing.)

*Loud Heartbeats*

As the Captain see one of his men walk closer to the child...everyone within the hall sense danger and dread. They then starts to panic slightly, The Captain then order his men to calm down.

Captain: "Hold yourselves together! You get the boy! We're leaving!"

As soon as the man reach out his hand to touch the boy.

*ZHING*

*PLOP*

*Drip Drip Drip*

?: "Eh?"

The man look closer to his only to see his hand severed.

? "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHh!"

Everyone quickly turn their head to see him screaming in pain...because of it the captain see the child slowly open his eyes

The Captain then saw something unique about the child...his eyes...his eyes are crimson red.

Child: "What's this?...Guest?...Weapons?...Threat?...I'm so sleepy and hungry."

The child then slowly closes his eyes..continuing his sleep.

?: "MY HAND! MY HAND! YOU FUCKING BRAT YOU DID THIS!"

The man reach out for his hand gun in a state of rage and aim at the boy head...before the captain could yell stop.

*CUTTING SFX*

*SLICING SFX*

*PLOPX2*

The Captain and his men had a terrified look on his face as they see his body parts slice in half leaving nothing attached...The Captain can hear one of his man vomiting in the background.

?: *Invaders...you will die here.*

The Captain and his men hear a childlike yet menacing tone speaking to them.

?: "Cap...Captain."

The Captain look towards the man calling him. The turn to see him pointing up towards the ceiling.

Everyone felt their stop and begin to sweat profusely for what they saw

Captain: "Gods...save us."

A large eye looks down at them from the ceiling...it was as if they were gazing into the abyss.

?: *Die...*

Shadow tendrils begin to crawl out of the deep darkness and before the men could even scream...

*CUTTING SFX*

*SLICING SFX*

*PLOP PLOP PLOP PLOP*

Child: "*Yawn*...Ah that was a good sleep...I had the strangest dream that I was visited by a group of people."

The child look around the empty hall to see nothing had change...a clean yet dusty room.

Child: "...*Sigh*...I'm so bored and lonely...thankfully I have you to care for me.

The Eyes opens and smile towards the child, the child's eyes begins to glow in the dark as three tomoe begins to spin in his pupils...the child is hoping...and waiting for someone to play with him.
