hahaChapter 4
Lesson 2
It was dusk at Isla Yura's Mansion, "It has been a longtime since your last visit, Mr. Nightray," Yura said as he walked with Vincent towards the study room, "So why are you here my lord?"
"As you can guess my brother has all ready started protecting the key (aka Oz), and I was trying to test his powers out with my replica, all I can say is that he has grown stronger… and is still growing stronger everyday…" he replied as he took a seat on one of the couches inside the study room, "not mention that blasted hatter is after my trail once again… and to think he would learn his lesson after all those years ago when I failed at kidnapping the key."
"How long ago was that?"
"About 11 years… I was 12 when I tried which would explain why the hatter succeed," he said, "haven't I told you that story?"
"No, my lord."
"Well then I guess it's only fair for you to know, after all you've always been loyal to me," Yura smiled and nodded at his friend's reply, "well then… but before I tell you the story… how about some tea?"
…
Meanwhile
It was a bright Saturday morning (5 a.m. to be exact), "Gilbert, hurry up!" Oz demanded, "You're going to miss the train!" he yelled again as Break and him were waiting for Gilbert inside the train (they are in their seats :D) Gilbert was carrying Oz's luggage in one arm and his on the other, "Gilbert!" the train had begun moving.
"I'm coming! I'm coming! God!" he said a little annoyed as he managed to make it inside the train and sat down right next to his master, panting like crazy, "You know… young master it would have been nice if you wouldn't have yelled."
"Well the train was leaving!" he replied.
"Barely leaving," Gilbert said, "now… since you are going to join Pandora, here are some of the rules… Break and I will be your superiors, so when it comes to Pandora you have to be a good little boy and follow our orders, you understand?"
"Yeah, yeah…" Oz replied, "Well…" he yawns, "I'm going to take nap… wake me up when we arrive…" he said as he falls asleep into dream land, Gilbert smiles at his sight and gently places his coat over him.
"Hey-hey! I haven't even finished telling you the rules!" he said as he sighs, "sweet dreams," he replied as he suddenly blushes when he heard Break giggling, "W-what?" he asked as Break couldn't help but to let out a laugh, "What's so damn funny?"
"You certainly have an interesting fetish :D."
"I do not!"
"Well at least I know how you are going to treat your kids, anyway, now that the brat is a sleep… I need to warn you."
"About?"
"Your brother…" he took out a small piece of paper, "has been the one realizing chains into our world…"
"What?"
"Vincent, knows how to open portals to the abyss and connects them to our world, which would explain all the illegal contractors," Break replied, "no one knows where he is… or what his planning… although… I only want that bastard dead… his caused my Sharon… and especially me so much trouble…" Break shook his fists, "all I know is that… Vincent is after our dear brat at the moment," he points to Oz.
"That still doesn't explain the replica incident."
"He was probably just trying to mess with us; well at least that's what I think he was doing."
"Yeah… I guess you are right."
"Although… they have also been some reports on Vincent having allies, such as Isla Yura, and some other illegal contracts."
"Yura?"
"Yep."
"Somehow that doesn't surprise one bit."
"Yura has been known as a mysterious man," Break replied as he stands up, "I'm going to go get a drink, wanna come?" Gilbert shook his head as he points to Oz, "relax he'll be fine, why don't we leave him a note saying where we are going in case he wakes up?"
"I guess that's not a bad idea…" Gilbert said as he carefully stood up and left with Break, as Oz just sleeps there(by the way this is the type of trains that has like their own separate seats with the doors and stuff like in Anastasia when they were on the train, hope this makes sense .) , "I just hope nothing happens while we are gone."
"You worry too much."
"Well, excuse me," Gilbert replied, "hey Break… can I ask you a question?"
"And I have an answer let's see if they match."
"How did you lose your left eye to Vincent?"
"Oh… well…"
"Well what?"
"That was 11 years ago…"
"11?"
"You see… I was 14 at the time and I was babysitting Oz, I remember before my father left, he told me to watch and protect that brat, I'm his knight apparently," he replied, "after all just like you… I have a connection with this whole Abyss soul ceremony thing."
…
"Yura, I was 12 at the time. Xerxes (Break), is one of the knights of the Vessalius kid, there for he would always babysit him when his parents were out, and also they would always be maids and bodyguards around so it was clearly impossible for me to get in… but one night the hatter was babysitting the boy, all alone… so I figured might as well as kill the hatter and take the child away," said Vincent to Yura.
"And then what my lord?" Yura asked.
…
"That night I was alone… for some reason the bodyguards had gone partying and the maids were too busy with their families, so the Duke and the Duchess said it would be all right for us to stay alone at the mansion, the rules were simple; don't open the door to anyone, don't turn on the lights unless the room has no windows, and don't make any phone calls," Break said as he and Gilbert had all ready gotten their drinks, and were heading back to their seats, "so… I stayed in the playroom with Oz, but then…" he paused for a second, "I heard someone break in from the dining room windows… and it was no other than your brother…"
….
"After I broke in, the hatter was all ready there with his sword," Vincent replied as he let out a small chuckle, "the child was nowhere in sight so I thought of just killing the hatter then and there, after all I was going to take the child either way."
…
"So Vincent took summoned his chain, the Door Mouse."
…
"The Hatter also summoned his chain, as you can guess the Mad Hatter."
"And we both started to attack each other," both Break and Vincent said at the same time to their listeners.
…
"You are not wanted here, Nightray!" young Break said as he swings his sword around trying to hit Vincent but it was nearly impossible due to the Nightray's incredible speed, "What the?"
"Face it, Hatter. Your chain is no match for me!"
"That's what you think!" he replied as he managed to hit Vincent, slashing his leg open, "you were saying?" Vincent screamed from the pain of his wound and soon started to laugh, "wha-what are you laughing about?"
"Silly, Hatter…" suddenly Break's eyes widen as he saw with his own two eyes Vincent's wound heal in a matter of seconds, "You should never underestimate your opponent, especially when you are in battle, and you know nothing about their chains."
"You-" he was suddenly cut off due to the fact that Vincent had punched him right on the stomach and then threw him across the entire dining room making him crashed hard on the wall, "gah!" he yelled as he fell on the ground, by now he knew one of his ribs were broken.
"Unless you want to die, I suggest you let me know the location of the child."
"Death first…" he replied.
"Very well then have it your way."
…
"So then what happened?" Gilbert asked as he gently pulls Oz into his lap making his master a bit more comfortable while sleeping instead of leaning against the window, "is that when he took your eye?"
"Not quite…"
…
"What did you do, my lord?" Yura asked with a curious look on his face.
"After we had a great battle off fists, and chains…"
…
"Break?" a sweet innocent voice came from outside the dining room's doors, Break's heart stopped beating for a second there, as Vincent's smile widened, the three-year-old walked inside the room, and noticed the blood stains all over the table, walls, and chairs.
"Why hello there…" said Vincent as he immediately made his way towards Oz, "you must be young Oz, correct?" the three-year-old nodded, "excellent…" he was about to pick the small child up when suddenly Break high kicked him in the face making Vincent fly towards the wall, "Gah you bastard!" he yelled, as his forehead begun to bleed but soon healed in a matter of seconds.
"Oz, what are you doing here? I thought I told you to wait!"
"I heard noises…" the small boy replied, "Why are you all red?" he asked.
"We got to get out of here…" he thought to himself out loud when suddenly a loud roaring came from behind, Vincent had now gotten up and quickly charged towards Break, Break quickly pushed Oz out of the way and blocked Vincent's attack, the young Nightray smiled as he noticed some of the servants of the household were coming back about 2 miles away, Vincent knew he wasn't going to make it, so instead he smirked at Break, as he was about to do something rather dreadful, "I'm going to wipe the smirked of your face once and for all!" Break yelled,he quickly dashed towards the Nightray child, but before he could stab him Vincent managed to grab his sword.
"Tell me... how it feels... "Break blanked at him confused when suddenly... Vincent had dug his index finger inside his left eye socket and twisted the eye inside it. Break screamed in pain as Vincent removes his finger from his eye socket, taking out the rest of the eyeball, Vincent smiled once again and liked the blood off clean from his finger, "I'll be back…" he said as he disappeared into the night.
"AAAAHHHHHHH!" Break scream echoed through the entire city, a small hand touched his leg. The 14-years-old gasped at his sight as he looked down only to find the small child he was protecting in the first place, his emerald orbs made eye contact, with his only eye now.
"Are you ok?" Oz asked with a shy voice, Break's pain was suddenly gone, as if the child's touch had made it disappeared, Break kneeled down to the child's height.
"I-I think we should find an adult and get you some cookies," he smiled weakly, while hiding his wound with his bangs, "I definitely need cake…" the small child hugged him, "huh?"
"I'll buy you all the cake you want!" he said as he giggled.
…
"And that's how it happened," Break replied, "after the bodyguards and maids arrived, along with Pandora, I was taking to the hospital you know to clean the wound and all that stuff," he sighed, Gilbert was speechless, "what's the matter? Cat's got your tongue?" He asked with a smile, "My god, you are so useless…"
"I'm sorry…"
"Pardon?"
"I'm so, so sorry… my brother did that to you…"
"No need to apologize, after all it's my duty," he said as he pats Gilbert on the head, "… to be honest it hurt a lot… losing my precious left eye… but it was worth it."
"What?"
"When I was in the hospital, no one would come visit me due to the fact that they were scared to say anything, even my parents. I was obviously in denial, I didn't want to see anyone either until one day before I was released, Oscar came along to visit, and beside him was the brat, he was smiling and hugged me," he said with a laugh, "the cutest thing was that he actually had his four maids come in to the room with 8 chocolate cakes, from that point on I accept everything that had happened, and because of that… I was able to also meet Miss Sharon."
"You've been through a lot…"
"Oh well…" Break replied as he stole Gilbert chocolate cigarette.
"H-HEY!" Gilbert yelled.
"Useless!" the one eyed hatter replied as he munched away that chocolate, "um… those are certainly tasty!"
"I take everything back now…" Gilbert said with an annoyed voice.
…
"So that's how it all happened Yura," Vincent said, "a rather fascinating story don't you think?"
"Yes," he replied with a creepy smile, "One thing I still don't understand is… why didn't you just kill the hatter then?"
"Why, I happened to like the hatter, I figured he was a worthy opponent let alone enemy, I couldn't just let such talent go to waste, you know."
"I see… ooh! Master Vincent you are certainly the most amazing person I've ever met!" Yura squealed as little hearts were forming around him, "I shall follow you forever! Whatever you command I shall follow! Even if it costs me my very life!" Vincent was pleased.
"Well then my friend, I better be going now," he said.
"Why, my lord? It's too soon!"
"I must report to Pandora, after all… I heard the hatter and my brother will be there, I've been waiting to talk to Gilbert for a while now…" he said as his grin disappeared, "that good for nothing older brother of mine… is nothing but a piece of shit…"
"I see… but may I tag alone?"
"Why of course," his smiled reappeared.
…
"So… do you think Vincent might come to the meeting?" asked Break.
"Who knows…" Gilbert replied, "All we can do now is just wait and see how things go…" Oz yawns, "Oh you are awake young master."
"Man… how was I sleep for?" the blonde asked.
"For about 2 hours," Break replied, Oz stood up and stretched than sat back down.
"So anything interesting happened while I was sleeping?" he asked.
"Nothing really," replied Gilbert.
"So how long until we reach Pandora's Head Quarters?" Oz asked again.
"About 8 more hours," replied Break, "so might as well as get use to it we are going to be here for awhile," Oz pouts, "a relax we can play some chess while we wait, sound good?"
"I guess," Oz replied, "So where's the chess board?"
"Right here," Gilbert said as he got out the chess board and the pieces, "while you two gentlemen play, I'll just read my favorite novel."
"Alice in Wonderland," said Break letting out a laugh.
"H-hey!" Gilbert yelled.
"You like a children's book Gilbert?" Oz asked as he giggled.
"I-it's a good book!"
"Useless!" said Break.
"Well I certainly got more black mail on you," said Oz.
"Shut up!"
"Fine, fine…" said Break as him and Oz begun to play chess, while Gilbert opens his Alice in Wonderland book.
…
Pandora's Head Quarters.
"Liam!" yelled Barma, "Liam! Report to my office at once!" He commanded once again as he storms off towards his office, and there he waited by the door hoping Liam would come in. Soon the doors slam open as Liam enters Barma's office.
"My lord!" he reported, "Lord Barma?" the door closes only to revealing Barma had been crushed. "OH MY GOD!" quickly Liam helped Barma up and apologizes over 20 times… maybe 40… no… 100 times, Barma brushes off the dust on his uniform, "You needed to see me my lord?" Liam asked.
"Yes, as you know today Raven (Gilbert) and the Hatter (Break) will be in today, but… I'm afraid the mouse(Vincent) will be here too," he said as Liam's eyes widen, "also… today I receive a phone call from the Vessalius Mansion, the Duke's son wants to join Pandora, so get him a contract seal mirror, and a Pandora necklace."
"W-what? Master Oz is joining but doesn't he need a-"
"He all ready joined, I can't say no to that brat," he replied, "after all… out of all Pandora he is the only one that can make a proper contract with B-Rabbit, no let me rephrase that… he is the only one that can make a contract with B-Rabbit."
"Well… about that sir…" Liam said nervously.
"What?"
"B-Rabbit is no longer in the Abyss…"
"I see…" A sudden pause, "WHAT?" He yelled on the top of his lungs, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN B-RABBIT IS NO LONGER IN THE ABYSS?"
"It... all ready escaped… from there… and now… it's… looking for his rightful contractor…"
"Shit!" Barma yelled as he slams the doors open and runs down the hall, making it to the announcements room, he grabbed the microphone, "Attention all members of Pandora! I repeat attention all members! Prepare the contract ceremony immediately!" all the members did as told, Barma's nerves were out of control, Liam was just watching from his point of view cleaning his glasses over 50 times scared out of his mind, "I swear to God Liam… Hell is about to break loose!"
…
"Huh?" Oz suddenly paused, "Did you guys hear that?"
"Here what?" asked Break, as he quickly knocks over Oz's King, "I win!"
"Hey that's cheating!" Oz replied, Gilbert closes his book and quickly glances at Oz, "You heard it too right Gil?"
"A chain is nearby," he said, "Break," Gilbert looked at Break, who just sighed in annoyance.
"Well I certainly wanted to play some more chess…" Break replied, Gilbert loaded his gun, "shooting the chain now that's convenient, remember we don't want to cause any commotion here," Break said, "It'll be bad news for us."
"Well just in case you never know," said Gilbert, "After all this chain's aura is quite powerful."
"I guess so, the chain is about 5 miles away from us, that should buy us some time to have all the guests evacuate," replied Break.
"Chain, huh…" Oz said, "wait how are we going to make th-" a sudden crash came from the end of the train as it stops completely, the crash was so hard that it made the entire train tremble, "woah!" Gilbert caught Oz in his arm (Fanservice XD).
"Looks like the chain is here," said Break, he quickly took a peak out the window, "but not just any chain… Blood Eyed Rabbit."
Yep here's chapter 4! XD Yeah Vincent is way OCC, he hates Gilbert to be honest in this one! Also no Alice is not the B-rabbit chain, she actually has her own chain which you'll find out later in the series anyway enjoy XD!
