It wasn't because he didn't want to stay with him. That was a mere playing hard-to-get. But had dismissed him, and then thought of him long after he was left behind. It wasn't until now, when he was feeling lonely. Even Lute was an annoying stuck-up brat; he somehow managed to find happiness when he was around. But during these times, when he was thinking about his mission, did he need friends?
Why should he kill? His brother ran through his mind. A doppelganger with a different name... Rouge.
Blue came to a halt, and lifted his hands so that he could view them. And once again the thought of Lute came into his mind.
/Look at you... To think that you are my brother.../
Blue dropped his hands and looked around. A familiar voice echoed through the tunnels of the cave. The voice of Rouge.
Was he in the cave? Was he too after the tarot cards? Blue looked around the cave and headed down one of the tunnels from which he heard his brother's voice.
He hastily made his way through the many tunnels, turning whatever corner he thought his brothers' voice was coming from. He ran until he could run no more, for he had reached a small cliff. He looked on; the other side was only a jump away. But could he make it?
He moved back a bit and then charged forward, leaping through the air and landing on the other side just barely. Rocks fell towards the void below.
/Look at you.../
His brother's voice echoed throughout the cave.
Like a moth to light, he ran down the path until he came to a cave.
"Rouge? I know you're here! You can't take the tarot card... Since I already have the shield card," Blue pulled out the small tarot card he had acquired from Fuse.
Laughter bounced off the walls and the silhouette of his brother could be seen from inside of the cave.
"You stupid ass! This is where the hide rune is..." Rouge slowly raised up the small rune. "... Or should I say was!" Rouge lets out a few chuckles before he puts the rune into his pocket.
"B-But... My conscience told me-"
The cave was filled once more with the sounds of his brothers' voice followed by the clapping of Rouges hands. "Bravo... Bravo... Once again you've fucked up... And to believe that we are one in the same... but how?" He places his index finger onto his forehead. "Was there a mistake in the gene pool? Did /I/ get all the brilliance?"
Blue slowly lowers his head and mumbles a few hate words that Rouge can't hear.
Rouge continues to denounce his brother,"-and your party isn't all that bright as well. If you want to defeat me, you will need to trust your escorts." As Rouge continued, a hand grabbed hold of Blue's shoulder.
He turned around quickly, leaving his guard down. "Lute?"
"Were you expecting your purple-haired friend?" The face of a familiar man spoke in a sharp rough tone, with a pinch of kindness.
"Hey I know you." Blue backed away slightly, almost entering the cave where his brother was. Behind the familiar man stood a woman, followed by a monster that looked like a porcupine.
"Allow me to introduce /my/ team of experts," Rouge crossed his arms and continued, clearing his throat in the process. "A swordsman from the Wakatu region." He uncrossed his arms and pointed to the monster. "I found him in a lab. His name is Cotton. Quite an interesting fighter if you ask me." He then moved pass Blue and took his place next to the woman. "And this lovely lady found me. She is looking for some rings. When she heard that I was traveling in search of magic she jumped at the chance to join."
The woman bowed and then let out a giggle. "Oh hush up Rouge. Hi, I'm Mei- Ling." She moved over to Blue and shook his hand. "I believe you and I met in... Why yes the Pub of Scrap."
Blue was amazed at the thought that he could have recruited those same two people in the same Pub where Lute was. He shook his head.
"Now listen here Blue... You really need to start focusing on the task at hand. Because If I complete my goal before you..." Rouge chuckled, and continued to chuckle even after he had pulled out his regional map and vanished with his team. "Good luck."
His voice echoed throughout the cave.
Blue stood there, lost in thought.
| Trust my companions... But how can I... They only get in my way. But then again I did this alone and look where I ended up...|
Blue looked around. "Alright... Get ready Rouge. The next time you see me I will be a great magician!" The regional map was taken out and with a few movements of the hand, Blue had returned to the surface of Koorong.
