(Chikara's POV)

"Boss?" I said.

"Yeah Boss, he was the leader of the Cross Guard in the First Great War." The little boy said.

"Um, who are the Cross Guard?" I asked sheepishly.

"What?! Wow, you really must be from another world if you have no clue. Ok, Basically-Chess Pieces, evil snot-heads who wanna conquer MÄR Heaven. The Cross Guard's are the guys that protect everything and kick the Chess's butt!" The kid exclaimed.

"I see." I said, with a sweatdrop.

"Snot-heads? Interesting way to describe the villains." I thought.

"My father and mother is in the Cross Guard. I don't remember the War or the battles very well. Or even Boss for that matter, I was only 4 years old during the last war. But I do remember my father introducing me to Boss, he was a kind man and really strong too. He was so cool." The kid said with an ecstatic tone.

"So what happened to him?" I asked with a curious smile.

"He died." The kid said, with sorrow in his face.

"Oh…I'm sorry." I said.

"Don't be. He didn't even belong to this world, but he died protecting it. You see he managed to kill the Chess's leader. But that monster in turn killed Boss." The kid said with now anger in his eyes.

"Hey by the way, I never got your name." The kid whispered.

"Chikara, Chikara Toramizu." I said.

"Strange name." The kid said.

"Whatever." I retorted.

"Oh no!" the kid said as he began to tremble.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Get down…stay quiet or he'll find us!" he said ducking down behind the bush.

I did the same, going down gently, making sure not to upset the baby. The kid pulled apart a few of the leaves, to peek out. He had sweat dripping down his face.

"Crap! What are we going to do?" He whispered.

"Let me see." I said scooting next to him to peer through the pulled apart opening in the bush.

I saw a man with white hair. It was sweeping over the right side of his face. He had on a blue shirt and pants. A white wrap around it. His eyes were a shade of lavender. He had strange bandages over his left arm and a strange tattoo on his right hand. The tattoo looked like a purple and red-ish ghostly flame. He was…down right…HOT!!

"Who is that?" I asked the kid, trying to hide my flushed cheeks.

"That is the Chess's leader! Phantom!" The kid said trembling.

"I see, so they got a new one. Since the last one died." I said calming down.

"That is the old one!" The kid said in a panicked hush.

"What?" I said in a shocked whisper.

"But you said-"

"I know, but he came back to life! Phantom, that evil jerk! How come he is alive while Boss is dead!? It's not fair! It's not right…he is the most evil, disgusting, and cruelest being this world has ever seen, why does he get to live again!?" The kid said shaking his fist.

I looked back at the one called Phantom, then at the kid with disbelief.

"What?" the kid said.

"You're lying." I retorted.

"Huh?!"

"There is no way someone could be that evil, cruel, and not to mention a sadistic-resurrected dictator-while still being that hot!!" I said jabbing my finger in Phantom's direction.

"Are you serious?" The kid said with a sweatdrop.

"This isn't something to joke about, Phantom is the evilest thing there is. He kills without remorse. In fact to him it's like a sport! He doesn't show restraint or even hold back. He never shows mercy to his victims…not even to women and children!" He whispered back in anger.

"Umm…who said I was joking? I meant what I said." I said dryly.

"WHA?!"

"My, my, my…what do we have here?" A voice that was like toxic said right above us.

The kid and I both looked up. And standing on the other side of the bush, staring down at us was none other than this Phantom guy.

(Phantom's POV)

I stared down at my three cornered prey. A young girl, with a strange outfit. Blonde hair, with a brown streak in it, but her eyes…they seemed familiar somehow. They looked at me not with fear but confusion. In her arms, was a puny little infant. Unsure of what was going on, but still knew to be afraid. Then lastly the little boy, the one I've been looking for.

"Pha-Phantom!?" The boy said stuttering.

"Found you little one." I said as a smile crawled onto my face. "You really heard something you shouldn't of, can't have you running off with knowing what you know."

"What did you do?" The girl replied to the boy sarcastically.

"ME?!" He yelled.

"Well you clearly pissed him off somehow if he is threatening you." The girl said retorting sarcastically.

"Whose side are you on anyway?!" The boy said yelling with tears in his eyes.

"I find this all annoying. Just die quietly." I said gathering red energy in my right palm.

I fired the shot directly at the boy. He screamed shielding his face, in fear for death. Out of nowhere though, the strange maiden grabbed the boy-trying to shield him and the baby by turning her back against my attack as it made contact. She screamed as it sent her flying into a tree, as she held tightly onto the children. She smacked back into the ground.

The infant was screaming and wailing now, and the boy was panicking, screaming the girl's name, "CHIKARA?! CHIKARA?!"

"What a foolish woman." I thought.

(Chikara's POV)

I slowly dragged my body up from the ground. My clothes were ruined. Dirty, bloody, and torn up.

"Chikara you're alright!" the boy said in relief.

I turned and looked at the man who sent such a freaky attack at the kid.

I gritted my teeth and said, "HEY!! WHAT THE H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?! YOU TRYING TO KILL US?!"

The man Phantom raised one eyebrow in response to my comment. The little boy then said, "Are you really serious?!"

"Shut up kid, I know what I'm doing!"

"Doubt that." He muttered.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!" I yelled, shaking my fist at the kid.

"Impressive, girl. You managed survive my attack while shielding those children. But wouldn't be easier to run, and save your own skin, than risk your own life for the sake of these children?" The white haired man said chuckling.

The little black-haired boy shivered behind me grabbing tightly onto my dirty-bloody sailor uniform.

"Miss Chikara, what are we going to do?" The little boy asked, his blue eyes trembling.

The baby, in my arms, wrapped in a humble yet dirty blanket-began to whale in fear.

I glared at the man, I was shaking with anger. He started laughing at me even more-I growled at him in frustration.

"Yes, yes…how this takes me back." He said narrowing his lavender eyes.

"He use to give me that same look too you know."" He said with a devious grin.

"He?!" I thought.

"But enough about that…It's time that boy died." He said pointing at that kid.

"No way!" I yelled.

All of a sudden something surged from the guy…like a whirlwind around him.

"Holy crap, I knew he had such huge magic power, but I didn't think it was this large!" The boy said, shielding his eyes from the dust blowing in the wind.

"Magic…Power?" I thought.

Next thing I knew it…the man known as Phantom was standing right in front of me.

"Whoa…when did you?" Was all I managed to say, I was frozen in shock.

"You'll continue to be in the way girl if you stay." He said, he surge his "power" even higher. The wind became even more rapid. It literally swept me off my feet and threw me about 10 feet away into a tree.

"AAAAHH!!"

More of I was thrown into the tree. The tree broke and came toppling down. I sat there in the dirt. It hurt to move. The baby was screaming, crying in agony.

"Why me?" I muttered. I looked over and saw Phantom grabbing the kid by the throat.

"AH!" He grabbed onto Phantom's hand struggling to free himself. The kid couldn't breath. Phantom lifted the kid's feet off the ground, kick his feet as he was dangling in Phantom's grasp.

"Damn, that kid wasn't kidding, this guy is practically the Anti-Christ." I thought gritting my teeth.

It still hurt to move but I managed to lift my torn body off the ground. With the baby still crying in my arms…I took it began to slightly unwrap the blanket. I then adjusted it by tying the blanket around my neck down from my back to the side of my left waist, making sure the baby was tucked safely inside. I then picked up a rock, the size of a baseball on the ground and started running towards Phantom.

I threw it while he was distracted…bull's eye. I hit him right in the eye. He dropped the kid in an instant.

I ran over and grabbed the little guy gasping for air, and started heading off in the other direction. I looked back and noticed Phantom rubbing his eye…he had blue liquid running from his eyelid.

"Is that his blood?" I muttered.

"Chi-Chikara." The kid said gasping.

"What is it?" I said.

"You gotta get out of here, go, find my parents, they'll know what to do? Just leave me here, I'll just slow you down." He said.

"Are you suicidal?!" I yelled.

"Huh?"

"He wants to kill you right? I'm not going to leave some child in the hands of a resurrected murderer. That's stupid! And you're stupid for suggesting it!" I yelled.

"But?"

"NO! NO BUTS!" I yelled. I set the kid down. I untied the blanket from around me and shoved the crying baby into the kid's arms.

"Chikara what are you doing?" The kid asked.

I turned around, and saw Phantom, walking straight for us. He looked so calm and collected. But that is probably because it was obvious we were going to die.

"Crap!" I said.

I then grabbed the kid by his shirt and lifted him off the ground.

"Chikara?!"

"SAYONARA!!" I said throwing him into the sky.

"YOU IDIOT!!" The kid screamed with tears steaming down his face as he flew off into the sky, and a twinkle in the sky was proof he was far enough away from here.

"Good." I said.

"Isn't it tragic." A voice as cold as death said from behind me.

I turned around and saw, none other than the big bad man himself.

"What do you mean tragic?" I said questioning Phantom.

"That at such a young age, you would have a death wish." He said with a frozen toxic smile.
