Welcome to Chapter Two my friends.

This chapter is named after the song by Dimmu Borgir 'Progenies of the Great Apocalyse' R&R and enjoy!

"Shit...dark already?" Isadore said while looking up at the dimly lit sky, his MP3 battery had already run out when they had gotten half-way down the street...well that's what he got for listening to it all day but he didn't need to worry, he could easily recharge it when they got back to the dorm. Haruna on the other hand had been walking slowly beside him, both were just talking causally about things, like school assignments and things they could do that weekend, Isadore suggested that they play something like Mortal Kombat or Dead or Alive all weekend, but Haruna declined, saying that Isadore would probably have another fanboy moment when using Helena or Kasumi...or just plainly cheap shot her with Sub-Zero's freeze move and low kicks.

"There is no point hiding it any longer..." Haruna said with a devilish smirk as she looked up at Isadore with a childish smile, pushing her glasses up her nose and giving him a wink. "W-What do you mean?!" Denial, it was always the first step to alarming a girl that you liked her when she confronted you about it, especially a girl who could smell love over a skunk's stench. "No point denying it...I know..." Isadore's face went from pale white to as red as a cherry, damn she was good, though why she waited to pounce on him was unknown even to him. "Alright...I admit it Haruna-san...I have feelings for you...there happy?" He questioned her, clearly embarrassed with having to admit it, especially to her of all people.

Haruna giggled, while placing both her arms around his left arm and resting her head gently on his shoulder. "Don't be such a wuss...Isadore-chan..." She said while giving a long exhale and looking up at him, although she wouldn't admit it, she had gained some form of crush on the guy as well, his elegant shoulder length purple hair, his enchanting hazel eyes...they had captivated her ever since he came to Mahora. Slowly she slowly started to move her head close to his, slowly closing her eyes...Isadore was quick to slowly pull his head away but quickly come back, slowly moving in to kiss her. Just as their lips were about to touch, something zipped past his head, Isadore's natural reaction was he took Haruna into his arms and pulled her down to the ground while looking up, it was some type of dark energy crossbow bolt.

While looking up, keeping Haruna covered up from harm as he did, he saw what appeared to be an average looking male student, holding a crossbow in his hand while smirking and pulling another crossbow bolt from a case attached to his back. Quickly Isadore stood up while chanting under his breath, most likely a spell of some kind that he had learnt from his mother. Holding his hand up as he finished the incantations, about eleven light arrows formed around his hand and launched at his target, slamming into the crossbow that the short brown haired individual held onto, destroying it.

"Who the fuck are you?!" Isadore demanded while slowly bringing out a small enchanted dagger, a weapon that his mother had given him before he had left for Japan, as a self defence mechanism. The only response was a low pitched laugh along with a pricing stare from the attacker's blood red eyes. "That's no why to speak to you're own flesh and blood now is it?" Isadore gasped while stepping back, clearly astonished at what he had just said. "Impossible!" Only laughs as the attacker lunged at his target, a shadow like blade appearing in his hand while doing so.

Isadore really had no chance to react, quickly he ducked while watching the strange dark magi's eyes widen at the sight he saw, Haruna with her pactio artefact activated; she had drawn up what appeared to be a bad-ass looking pistol, with a chuckle, she shouted while firing the weapon. "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!" The bullet left the barrel of the weapon and passed through the stranger's skull, causing the inside contents of his skull to spray all over the pavement. Quickly getting up, Isadore ran over to the body of the dark magi and started to shake his body. "Who are you!? Answer me!!" A laugh was the only response. "Though I die, the others will ensure our fathers rebirth…you cannot stop your destiny…" He then took one last breath before dying there on the sidewalk.

Isadore slammed the now dead body on the ground while standing up, clearly confused by this entire incident. "That's no way to talk to your own flesh and blood…" Those words repeated in his mind over and over, quickly he felt the embrace of a clearly worried Haruna. "Isadore-chan…you alright?" She asked while planting a kiss on his lips, Isadore couldn't help but kiss back in this moment, to make up after the last one was interrupted by some crossbow wielding maniac. "Let's just get to the Dean's office and inform him about this…" Isadore nodded in agreement while now running with Haruna to back towards the school, this wasn't the end oh no…it was merely the beginning…
