A/N: Okay, I know it's bad that I haven't updated in a while. But I'm almost 18 and my parents are bugging me to get a job, and I got school on the way, plus I have to figure out a way to start paying for the car I just-heh, well, you don't care about all that. I want to personally thank everyone who has been following, favoriting, or reviewing this story. Your support is what keeps me going:3 Now, this chapter is hopefully long enough to satisfy you all.
I understand there's a lotta breaks. But there's a lot of time lapses, so please bear with me.
The character tryouts are still going on. I will bring in some details about Syndeo in the extremely late chapters, so y'all have a while. Remember: I need twin elite soldiers, and I also need one elite ex-human. If y'all are interested in sending me profiles, PM me, and we'll talk business. So you could end up in my story; who knows? -Note: please no Gary Stus/Mary Sues. Must PM me within 76 hours of this posting from Sun, July 26, 12:00pm PTZ(UTC-08:00(California; U.S.)) to Wed, July 29, 12:00pm PTZ(UTC-08:00(California; U.S.)). Must include in PM: Name, Age, birth, likes, dislikes, weapon(s) of choice, description, and bio(also include anything else seemingly necessary(i.e pet(s), etc)) and a quick sentence or two on why you think I should take your character.-

"So Syndeo is responsible for this..?" Zero asked, and Kaname sighed. "I believe so," he replied, "I don't think Alice was behind this."
"This is what we get, " Senri whimpered, "this is what we get for interacting emotionally..." Takuma kneeled beside the redhead pulling him close as Rima joined; and Kaname thought aloud. "I understand why they obviously want Zero, but they took the rest of us for a reason..." Kaname sat in the corner quietly, when it hit him.
"Listen, I don't just want this war over with, I want all the vampires and humans to leave in PIECES!" A young Senri exclaimed, and a slightly older Kaname laughed. "It's peace, Senri. Live in peace."
"Then why did that guy on the show we watched say 'we come in pieces'?"
"That's because it's a sitcom."
"Oh. What's a sitcom?"
"It's a comedy show in which there's a situation the character or characters must resolve. Sitcoms have a point, but usually don't have a moral."
"Oh. What's a moral?"
Just as Kaname is about to explain, their mother hurries in the room, trying to keep from ensuing panic among the boys as she takes their hands and leads them out of the mansion. "We're gonna go on a sort of a vacation for a while," she explains, and though he remains quiet, Kaname doesn't buy what she's saying. "What about the baby?" Senri asks, gesturing to their mother's swollen stomach. She stops them, and kneels in front of Senri, trying to compose a reassuring smile for him. "The baby will be fine. Everything's going to be fine."
"I want an answer, Haruka, please, I don't have anything else to present to the Association!" Alice cried out, and Haruka bit his lower lip in concentration. "Let me think," he replies, earning a dragged-out whine from Alice. "I don't have time for that! There are a thousand guards that are going to show up at your doors for your wife and boys any second and I need to know-"
"I know someone. He lives a couple miles down from us. He's not a vampire, so if we drag him into this, I need to know you can guarantee his safety."
"It's not exactly sound or scent-proof, or even baby-proof, but it should handle the job," a man says, voice dripping with an almost heavy Irish accent. Juuri leads her children down into the comfortable basement as Haruka stands with the man. "Thank you, Scotty, we really appreciate this. Are you sure there isn't anything we can-"
"Nonsense! I'm all about favors and reasoning. Just get down there and stay safe. I'll be down after the heat is gone to check on the lot of you." In a flash, Haruka disappeared down the basement, and Alice helped the man named Scotty close the door. "You really think this is going to work?" Alice asks, and Scotty sighed, "no, but it'll have to. I'd give my life for them. Haruka is my only friend. My closest friend."
"They don't just want Zero killed. They want it to be a bloody massacre. Two manipulative purebloods, five loyal aristocrats, and one ex-human snack. They're sending a message to the Association; a message that'll make it obvious that Zero isn't a threat; the vampires are. If ever given the chance to be free, they'll stop at nothing. It doesn't matter; and it's worse if Zero's developed an emotional connection with the purebloods because not only will it look bad on us, but on everyone, especially the Association. If they don't get shut down first, we will, and we're going down HARD," Kaname said, and the room grew dead silent.
Zero finally spoke up. "If that's what they want, then that's what we can't give them. We have to get out of her. Fast."
