Authors note: Truthfully I didn't expect for this story to be going for so long but those of you still reading thank you so much for well...reading. I'm still unaware of how much further this story is going to go but for those of you waiting for the alternate version of this story I think I'm going to finish this one first. That's just so I can plan out how they end or whatever. So for this chapter all I will say is that not everyone is who they say they are or pretend to be. Please read, review and enjoy.

Transition

Mello was seething. The pure rage that rushed from his body was enough to send over half his attendants running for cover the minute they opened the door. He hated weaklings and the only thing that he hated more than that were weakling Nightwalkers. If they weren't able to handle just a bit of this kind of power how well would they fare against someone like N? That's right, they didn't and as far as he knew at this point N and Matt were on the move together. The very idea made his blood boil.

He hadn't been able to calm himself since the phone conversation. He had given Matt everything, it was him that had brought Matt this far. He had waited for the other to return. He did everything for him and this was how he was repaid? No matter, if that's how the red head wished to do things then he would certainly show him what he had done to all his other enemies at this point. In the end everyone would be crushed under his power.

A soft knock on the door was enough to flair his anger again. "What the fuck do you want?" He hissed instantly tuning around in his chair to be able to fully glare at the door as it opened. He cooled almost instantly as the person who stared at him with a slight kind of interest. Their kind was always like that but he didn't expect to be seeing her today. "Oh, it's just you. What do I owe this visit?" He questioned listening to the faint clicking of her heels on the wooden floor and the sound of her closing the door behind herself. Instantly she searched the room as if looking for something and he shook his head. "Anna's not with me right now. You're safe."

A small smile appeared on her bow lips as she reached up with manicured nails and removed her sunglasses. Her blond hair still eclipsed a majority of her face but Mello knew who she was none the less. "You always told me to return if I had anything to report and I do for once. I attempted to reach you at your summer home. That's the last place I remember hearing that you were because you had gotten some kind of unique child but upon reaching it I found that it was burnt to ashes." She shrugged showing that she didn't care. "I almost thought you were dead but then remembered that the president falling in this world would send echoes even into my part of this world. Don't you agree?"

He nodded knowing that she was right. "What made you think that I was dead just because the house was burnt down?" He questioned.

"Everyone knows that fire is an enemy to all the Children of the Night even our kind but we can withstand it much longer than you. Everything was gone so I thought maybe even you had perished." She moved forward taking a seat right in front of the blond President before smirking slightly. "There have been whispers in the Underworld from everyone, even the Resistance is speaking of it. I want to know if it's true because if so you may be in more trouble that I originally came to tell you of." She folded her hands together waiting expectantly. "The word is that The Prince of Chaos is back."

Mello instantly looked away searching through his desk for something resembling wine but couldn't find anything. He instantly made the note to break Matsuda in. "Yes." He replied folding his hands together to keep himself from breaking his desk. "That is correct, the Prince of Chaos has returned to us though not in the most convenient circumstances. It seems as if his current wish is to break ties with me." He felt his grasp tightening on his hands but couldn't stop it himself. "There is currently a kill order on him."

The blond woman shook her head. "Then I have more information yet." She watched him glance up and lock eyes with him. "The Prince of Chaos is moving to lead an upheaval of your power using the Children of the Moon." She leaned back in her chair watching his eyes widen. "Without him they are mostly useless but along with his army…"

Mello hissed, "What army? Matt hasn't returned long enough to have had the time to create an army?" He slammed his hands on the table. "You're speaking nonsense."

The woman's lips pursed, "It's not nonsense. It's been foretold for years and you know it. L spent his lifetime attempting to lead The Prince of Chaos away from his destined path and now that he's been reborn it's only a matter of time until he's able to complete the prophecy. The fabled army of the Prince of Chaos will rise and destroy this world."

The President watched the woman for several seconds before fully knowing that she was telling the truth. "All of those things have already happened!" He slammed his fists on the table barely noticing it as it cracked. "Matt is nothing without me. Nothing. Everything about this prophecy an d the fall of the world is lies. All of it was invented to frighten people like you."

She shrugged moving to stand. "I simply came to tell you that the Children of the Moon are in movement against you. I don't know anything about this prophecy besides what everyone else has been informed of. It seems that it is not the case but whatever you wish to believe Master Mello." She bowed deeply before turning on heels and heading to the door. "You're a good president Mello. If you don't want him to he won't win against you."

"Thank you Misa." He whispered as the door opened and shut quickly. He stood instantly glancing down at the phone that still lay on his desk but he didn't bother grabbing it. Where he was going there would be no phone reception. If everyone was going to place so much faith in a prophecy they had never seen then maybe it would do him well to actually find it and read up on it. He snapped his fingers as the gust of wind blew the remaining candles out in the room. Another gust and he was gone.

"I never believed I'd see the day." Tristian smiled slightly as the red head that had completely changed his appearance. Even in a metropolis of this magnitude where Nightwalkers and the Children of the Moon mingled in an uneasy truce he stuck out. His strictly black ensemble was complimented with a pair of expensive black sunglasses that at least shielded him from the intrusion of the sunlight above their heads. "You seem to be working well to fit in well in a whole new century."

The red head shrugged barely listening to the other as he began to move through the crowd that somehow parted for his person. It was almost as if the groups here knew that it wouldn't fair them well to bother someone like me. "That doesn't matter right now. Right now Mello has his people out looking for me but he has to do it discreetly. He won't dare put the public on alert for someone like me which makes a large place like this perfect to move around in without being under watch." He glanced behind him at the taller man and smiled. "Don't worry about this Tristian. Do you really think I haven't thought this all out?"

The other shrugged, "I know that your body isn't quite ready to be out moving since you've made the change. The Nightwalkers here can probably smell the blood on you. I know I can but I can't tell if it's because I drank you or…" He paused watching the other give him a dirty look. He frowned, "I apologize Master. I shouldn't have spoken out of place."

Matt waved him off. "The worst thing that can possibly happen at this point is if we're found by the Resistance and they wouldn't dare tread this deeply into Mello's territory."

Tristian nodded, "but you have free reign in both places, correct?" He watched the other nod lightly keeping his head bowed anyway. "You're planning on using the uneasy treaty between the Nightwalkers and the Night Children to ignite a war. During that time…"

"N will have to take a side and because he won't dare side with Mello so he'll side with Raito. From there I can control them all from behind until they destroy each other."

"I must warn you that the Resistance is everywhere Master." The darker haired man began as the other held his hand up for silence entering a pair of double doors.

The woman at the front desk glanced up momentarily before smiling. "Master M, the Leader is on the top floor awaiting your arrival."

"…" Beyond birthday could barely keep is hysterics to himself. He could never have guessed that the Prince had actually returned until he saw him for himself. If anything Matt had become even MORE violent than before. He couldn't help but feel the excitement pitting in his stomach as he did what N had wanted. No, he shouldn't lie that was rude. He was doing what he wanted by following the boy and his servant into this large city. He should have probably been reporting in seeing as the rest of his team found it more imperative to stay with that Anna woman. She was hurt but not dead. No, they would certainly be taking her back to N. Interesting as that interrogation will probably be he couldn't just not follow the Prince of Chaos.
