"Hey!" Violet exclaimed. Yuki grinned before running up and hugging her tightly.
"Violet-sempai!" Yuki shouted.
"Yuki-chan, how've you been? Are you ok? How's the attacks been going?" Violet questioned at the speed of light. Yuki sighed.
"We seem to be getting nowhere," Yuki sighed.
"Ah, too bad. Good thing I'm here!"
"O-Onee-sama, you don't know how to fight," Yuki stuttered.
"I'll figure it out. We need to spend more time together, ok?" Violet pulled Yuki in tighter.
"Yeah, let's make a promise to protect each other, ok?"
"Yes, we'll always protect each other."
"Forever. Now let's go watch some Hetalia while my mom won't find out!" Yuki exclaimed.
"Oh, I brought a ton of anime for us to watch. Maybe this war has a good side to it, the adults aren't around to tell us no," Violet grinned as she released Yuki and popped a disk into the DVD player.
...
"I'm sorry it's gotta be this way," Yuki said in a sadden tone. "But you've been a naughty girl and has to be punished. So, farewell." Yuki pulled out her scissors and charged at her opponent, stabbing her in the stomach. "Sorry, I didn't want to do this, but you've killed people I deem important, and this is the only way to end this bad end night, this revolution of evil, it must happen," and with that Yuki pulled out her sword and looked down at the corpse in front of her.
"May you be smiled upon, dearest -"
"Enough! I don't need such interruptions from what is truly important!" Jeni screamed into her reflection. It was the legendary, untrained power of Jeni to see the future at random times. It bothered her, especially if it was something she didn't want to see. Like the possibility of losing all of her new found power, which she held dearly.
"Your highness, what do we do with this young girl?" Nelly asked, now having a pair of bunny ears atop her head.
"Maybe I can use her. This girl is the younger sister of your slave, Macy. She holds Macy very valuable, which means a delusion can have her do my bidding without getting blood on my skirt," Jeni explained.
"How do you kno-"
"I AM THE MOST POWERFUL AND WISE MAGE THAT EVER LIVED! Every other mage that ever existed, his or her powers run through my veins, I took their power, and now nobody stands a chance against me. Now be gone, and tell Tira a certain dust company is holding her sister hostage," and with that Jeni shoved them out of the room.
...
"Will! Hurry up and get out of the shower! I know you're doing the caramel dance in there!" Molly yelled at the bathroom door angrily.
"I am not!" Will cried.
"I can hear you singing the lyrics and stomping your feet in the timing," Molly hissed.
"Fine, just let me finish the song," Will groaned.
"Idiot."

Everywhere Jake looked he saw soldiers walking around. They all were clad in blood red symbols of the White Fang and a black solar eclipse, Jeni's signature. All of the army was either traitors from the old Utopian army, White Fang members, or test subjects. It was official, either Jeni misfired a spell or she took after her aunt Terra and Uncle Rick. All the test subjects had the same scar across their cheeks along with a brand on their arm, the solar eclipse symbol burnt into their flesh. Some look drowned out and zombie like, others looked pained and tortured, while others would look blood thirsty and ready to slay. Jake took notice that two in particular he kept seeing were blood thirsty and went by Nelly and Macy. They were always spotted together, and from what Jake picked up, Nelly was Jeni's personal assistant and assassin. Jake knew he was in a bad position. Jeni wouldn't hesitate to kill him like she had already killed her own parents, the remaining grandmothers, and two uncles. She was hunting down Molly and Jake, everyone knew it. Jake thus, dyed his hair grey and kept his monkey tail wrapped around his waist. He was hiding under the identity of an unemployed young adult named Masino. Jake actually found it interesting the connection he had already made with a sixteen year old girl named Sara. She was a former gang member, from the same gang as Jade apparently. Her real name he learned was Angelica, but she preferred Sara since she was called that for so long. Sara had auburn hair with lots of feather extensions, green eyes that seemed distant and longing, and was maybe a bit of the fluffy side. Just barely.
"What's wrong , Jake, cat got your tongue?" Sara teased. Jake continued to stare down at the paper in his hands.
"M-Molly is in danger and you want to joke around?" Jake hissed.
"Since when do I care what happens to the royal family. After all, you're just a bunch of spoiled brats," Sara took a bite of liquorish.
"One could easily say that about you and your little drug dealing friends," Jake defended. Sara slammed her hand on the table.
"You know what!? You've never worked a day in your life! You'll never have to worry about going hungry, you'll never have to worry about money, and you've always had a perfect family with parent that care about what happens to you! You're SPOILED!" Sara yelled, slamming her fists on the table with ever word. "You have no right to judge people like the Bloodshedders! Your parents ripped us all apart! We were just fine until the government stepped in and screwed it up! You're a brat! You're a spoiled, stupid, ugly, uncivilized BRAT!" Sara continued her temper tantrum. " I HATE YOU! YOU'RE AN IDIOT! I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU, JACOB WU'KONG! I HATE YOU FOR EVERY MOMENT YOU'VE BEEN ALIVE!" Sara concluded with a karate chop that broke the table and ran upstairs crying. Jake was a little shocked at the sudden outburst. He was going to go up and check on the girl, but he decided it wasn't a good idea.
"You are still hurt by everything you went through, aren't you Angel?" Jake asked to the air.
...
Sara pulled her knees to her chest and continued to sob uncontrollably. It had gone from minutes to hours of this in what seemed to be years of nothing but choking on her own sobs. Jake walked into the room.
"Have you calmed down yet?" he asked. Sara grabbed her pillow and hurled it at Jake with all her strength.
"I hate you, remember?" Sara whimpered.
"Somehow I doubt that. You would've killed me if you hated me," Jake commented. Sara looked up at him.
"I don't hate you, I love you. You- you've actually kinda taught me that everything I considered love to be lie," Sara murmured. "I-I thought I was loved by Jason, that he cared about me, but he left me for dead and ran away with Katina." Jake sat next to Sara and pulled her into a hug.
"It's ok now. You'll never be alone again," Jake said softly.

James was sitting with his legs crossed, meditating in the backyard. Unlike normal, his wolf ears were as still as it could possibly be. Not a mussel moved, he was in a motionless state. Yang sighed.
"And he's at it again," Yang murmured to herself. Yang had learned that after his coma a very long time prior, he had the ability to talk to angels and demons through meditation, more specifically, his late wife, Mary-Anne. Yang understood missing on old spouse, but it seemed all he ever did on his free time was talk to Mary-Anne. That made Yang feel a bit neglected and jealous. A jealous Yang was a passive aggressive Yang. A passive aggressive Yang was a dangerous Yang. Yang clenched his fists in frustration. "Am I just some status change for facebook or something?"
Meanwhile, with James, it was different. He was currently mentally chatting with a few heroes to help with the war.
"There is no reason to kill her yet," a boy with black hair and violet cat ears commented.
"Jeni is still very young, it should be a last resort to inflict harm upon her," Dylan stated, pulling Kloris Shield (A short sword and shield) from behind his back where they were kept.
"Do you really think anything bad will happen if we kill her?" Mary-Anne asked.
"Yes, she has two siblings that happen to care about her. If we can save any of what's left of the royal family, we need to. Molly especially. She's the eldest, and heiress to the throne, she has to live through this, Jake is not yet mature enough to rule," James explained.
"I'm a little busy with Yuki, she's having issues of her own," Dylan said.
"Well if you ever can, please help protect Molly and Jake, or help us tear apart the whole empire bit by bit. She's already extended overseas. The only country in Vytal that is independent still is Vale thanks to the Schnee Dust Co. and Beacon guarding the boarders and constantly on watch," the other boy said, looking at a map.
"The fact she has Mistrol is bad news. Mistrol is known for grim being everywhere, which means her army is going to have grim warriors on top of all the other ones," Dylan said, opening up a book.
"In the end, we'll win. We have to, she's merely a child," James said with confidence.
