CRNM(sins) Episode 1 (Crim Reaper)
"Darkness, wherever light goes darkness will follow right behind, taking everything that light had left behind before. Light will stop at nothing to fight off the darkness that surrounds, but what if darkness will still be born under light? Some say that light came from darkness and darkness is formed under light, yet both of their origins had come from nothing. Nothing, the void that makes us what we truly are, and a destiny that gives us what we choose and what we become. And at that moment, the actions we do or what we see choose what we now believe at the start. So, if we say we are products of light, then what happens when our voids become dark?"
In a small village of the snowy forest, protected by a wall made of wood with a few Hunters protecting each corner, and with preying eyes that watch carefully outside the civilized area.
A group of well-dressed men wearing colors of red approach the nearest shop called "From Darkness Comes Dust."
The group barges into the store, ignoring a person in a gray jacket and dark pants sits next to the entrance with a big tool next to him and has his head down with his gray hood on while chewing on something hard.
In the shop, the manager was entirely closing down the shop, sealing all the equipment and putting everything in boxes.
When the red dressed group comes in the manager dropped everything to the ground with one of the henchmen pointing their weapon at him.
Next inside the group comes a lady in a red dress that walks up straight to the manager.
"Please! I have nothing left in this store! I can't give anything to you." Says the manager.
"You still can give me information," says the red girl, "where did you get your last shipment from?"
"M-My last shipment?"
"The Dust, we know about your huge storage of Dust from your last big sale."
"It came from my last exploration in the forest…"
"Where?"
"I don't remember! After I found all the Dust I could grab, I couldn't go back with all the wolves around."
"Then how did you leave?"
"Uhh…"
"Talk."
"Okay! That young man you see out there!" The manager points directly to the one sitting next to the store, "I paid the boy to help me bring the Dust back if I found some, but he was the one who found it!
After I finished paying him I couldn't ask again since he said that he would only do it once!"
The girl orders four of the henchmen to fetch the person, they understood and run right outside to the male.
As the stranger tries to light a small, cut log on fire with rocks, the henchmen stand right before him to talk.
"Hey, Stand up!" says one of them.
"…"
"I said stand up!"
As the person looked up, the henchmen are shocked to see what their target was eating, a bone.
"What are you, a dog?" The henchmen start laughing at the person, "So stand up, mutt!"
The dark underdog stands up and breaks off part of the bone with his hand, and leaves the bone on the snow.
"Good, now come with us."
"…"
"Hey, you deaf!?"
The henchman with the weapon approaches to attack, the stranger clenches his right fist.
"I said-"
He gives a wide downward cut on the incoming enemy, slamming the henchman's face straight through the snow with a giant splat of snow up.
The rest of the henchmen become alerted and bring out their guns at the stranger, and the gray person also prepares by reaching for his weapon.
Before the face-off began, the red girl comes out of the store, ordering the henchmen to step down their weapons, then stands right in front of the dark teen.
"…And who are you exactly, unknown?" asks the red girl to the dark guy.
"…I'm only a Lumberjack."
"A Lumberjack. Then would you mind telling me where you found this?"
The girl brings out a red crystalized Dust in front of the Lumberjack.
"…What is it?"
"It's Dust, you've seen this before and we need to know where."
"…No thanks…"
"…I'll pay, something worth more than what you eat to survive in this forsaken world."
"…fine, I'll lead the way."
The gray teen takes his weapon and places it on his back to carry, while the woman and the henchmen follow his lead, straight out the boundaries of protection.
Arriving to the sight of a cave, Beowolves surround the entrance without any of them leaving the area.
The red woman orders the henchmen to take care of the Beowolves, preparing their guns for battle.
On the ground for surprise, the soldiers start firing off their guns at the wolves, mowing them down and enjoying it at the same time.
Through the enjoyment, another force of Beowolves come through the forest and overpower the men by sheer numbers.
When one of the Beowolves finally reach the woman, she prepares to stick out her hand and with her glowing eye, but interfered when the dark male punches the Beowolf out if the way.
As more opponents arrive, the male comes in the battle and starts to fight using only his fists and with his raw strength as well.
While Beowolves notice the strong fighter narrowing down their numbers, all of them focus onto the strong one and leave the henchmen, giving them all a chance to head for the caves by the red girl's order.
Through the numbers that keep coming, the guide kept standing his ground knocking Beowolves into each other and throwing some at a group, also without killing any of them off.
The Beowolves start to lose their urge and spirit after their failed defensive for anyone to come to the caves and start to retreat back to woods, and so the male backs out and joins up with his escorting group.
Inside the group had already started to search for Dust but come up to the final conclusion there was none, and then the red girl stands in front of their guide.
"We searched everywhere for Dust and came up with nothing. Yet…We think you know where there are more around this area."
"…Yeah, there are."
"Find the dust or else you will not have your pay for this escort."
"…Understood."
The male walks further in the cave, looking at the patterns of the walls, showing his bright, red eyes to see.
A blink of a red background comes up, and with that picture sees a bright speckled line reaching to a deep spot on the wall of the cave.
"Here…"
The male clenches his right fist and punches at the centered spot of the wall, making a hole in the wall leading to another area.
In the broken down wall, the girl and the henchmen find inside the area is filled with crystalized Dust everywhere on the ceilings, floors, and mostly on the sides.
"Good. Take it all." The red girl orders as the henchmen bring out their kits to mine the Dust around.
"Here's the pay," the girl gives the pay onto the males hand and comes close to his face, "and a little extra for saving me."
The male backs off and clenches the money in his hand and speaks, "No thanks…not interested."
He puts away his pay just as the woman's phone started ringing and quickly picked up the incoming call.
"Hello…yes, we found the Dust. There's enough for a full stock…No, we had help…A guide who can fight pretty well…Hold on."
The girl approaches the guide and shows him her phone.
"There's someone who wants to speak to you."
She turns the phone onto speaker.
"Hello sir," says the person on the other end, "Do you know who I am?"
"…No, not really."
"I'm Roman Torchwick. Gentleman, Rich Boss, Outlaw to the world, does it all ring a bell in your head?"
"Nope."
"Huh, Fine, it's been a while I've of someone who doesn't know me, or doesn't hunt me. May I take your name then?"
"…" The male takes a small flashback but comes right back to reality, "No … name's not important."
"Hmm…All right Mr. No Name, I've recently been told you found Dust easily around somewhere that there shouldn't be any. Fine instinct I must say for a dark child like you, how about a proposition?"
"…For what…"
"Simple, you find Dust around the entire world for me and I'll make you rich with each pile of Dust you give in this world for the hour of need, Dust need."
"…No thanks."
"What!? But I can give you anything-"
"I only chop wood mister, that's all I'll ever give each time. I led once for everyone else as well…"
"…Sad, really, I could really have you. Though I also can't let anyone else find Dust here or from you. Get him."
The call ends and the henchmen drop everything and bring out their weapons against their betrayed guide.
The male clenches his right fist once again and waits for the next call to happen.
Then, one henchman charges off with his sword, making the male focus on his incoming attack and slamming the guy right down to his ongoing direction.
Another one strikes with yet another weapon, having the male step inside the attack to dodge, lifting the man of the ground, and launching him all the way over to the incoming group of more bad guys.
The red woman steps in, shows the palm of her hand, glowing bright eyes, and sends a magic projectile onto the guide, knocking him all the way across a flat wall, and making small quake to have rocks fall onto the knocked out one.
As the lady backs out, she fast-dialed her phone and said, "Prepare the carrier," and said to the men, "Grab everything you can and set up the area."
The henchmen listen and quickly get up, grabbing the Dust inside the containers, leaving the area, and setting up big devices onto each position of the cave.
As they left for outside, the gray male breaks out and gets back up and finds almost all the Dust were gone to light up the area.
He hears whiling sounds outside and heads straight towards the direction of the noise.
Outside the group have already gone up inside an aircraft, lifting above the ground, and already in the high air.
The late came out and sees the group in the air and the red woman looking down upon him preparing for another fiery missile attack.
He brings his right hand on the handle of his weapon, with the attack fired off, and he takes out his weapon and puts his left hand on another short handle of the blade, folds the entire top blade out, and absorbs the attack.
The girl looks down and sees the front of the folded out shield, with the user looking up and sees her take out a switch for another device.
At the press of the button, the Dust area blows up with all the planted explosives inside, leading the blast all the way out to the entrance.
When the male fail to take cover in front, he is blown all the front and tries to stand right straight from being air-blown, making him show his true face.
He shows to have bright red filled hair and really dark black at the end of the strands along with his Crimson red eyes that look upon the leaving aircraft.
While the shutters close on the aircraft, the red girl still gives eye contact to the red eyed male, and finally looks away when the craft finally leaves off.
In the midst of the destruction of a rare sight, the Crimson eyed male puts his hood down again and takes his weapon onto his back, leaves the premises, and never looks back.
"…..In today's news a sight of another dust mine has been discovered, but authorities were too late to arrive at the scene when the area had been entirely destroyed. There have been explanations that it was the doing of a dust bombing to close off the area for no possible Dust extractions. Authorities say that they may have a lead with the investigation by one possible sighting, a person in gray and dark clothing had been known to know about the sight himself and left with some of Roman Torchwick's men to leave for the sight. The suspect is now considered as an accomplice with Torchwick and now must be hunted down to atone for destroying a small spark of light to aid in this oncoming dark world…"
