The man stood by the window, staring out in awe at the dark night. He was an artist, and he was greatly fascinated by the stars and the outside world: the universe.

Nonchalantly, he tossed his mane of pink curls behind his shoulder, flexing his hand before his partially masked face. It was at that moment that he heard footsteps approaching, and identified them as his friend's.

"Damian?" he asked into the silence, his voice rather high-pitched and feminine.

"Jack," the approaching teen greeted as he stepped into the room.

"Where's Ziggurat?" Jack asked, his sight still fixed on his gloved hand and perfectly manicured nails.

"Working on Zeo and Toby," Damian replied, the moonlight revealing the icy blue hue of his pointed hair.

"Again? Why won't they just succumb?" Jack shook his head in annoyance, still not looking at Damian.

"They're stubborn. Unlike us, they wanted to remain 'normal'. How pathetically boring," Damian scoffed, pacing around the small room: "But apart from them...haven't you heard?"

"Hm? Heard of what?" Jack asked curiously.

"Ziggurat's become pretty interested in a certain someone..." Damian smiled lopsidedly, pausing at the centre of the room.

"Has he now? And who is this...someone?" Jack persisted.

"He'll explain better to us both. But hey, you and I both know him," Damian cackled beneath his breath, sending Jack's curiosity rocketing sky high.

"Would you just spit it out already?" he snapped in frustration.

"Lemme give you a hint...He has a stupid pet eagle, and he's a loser," Damian grinned back at Jack, who was slowly beginning to understand.

"No way! Tsubasa?" Jack exclaimed as Damian nodded: "Well well! What's that good-for-nothing brat done to pique Ziggurat's interest?"

"Apparently, he has this new dark power within him that's slowly taking over him and causing him to break down each time he battles. Ziggurat researched it and found an exact match between his dark force and that of Ryuga's L-Drago," Damian explained.

"Ahhh, Ryuga...he was such an artistic fellow!" Jack sighed.

"Yyeeaahh...anyway, Ziggurat sensed that this power is proving quite valuable. Sure he's losing every battle he faces, but just imagine if we had that power Jack! Think of what we'd be capable of doing then!" said Damian.

"My my! What naughty thought do you have in mind, Damian m'boy?" Jack giggled.

"Oh no, not me. Ziggurat. He's the brains behind all of this," said Damian.

Tsubasa was running through the dark woods, his breathing fast and ragged. He could hear them coming behind him, could hear them getting closer, could begin to see their shadows. But he had to keep running, or he wouldn't make it...

"Get him! Dammit don't let him get away!"

Tsubasa was 12 years old. He had no friends and the only people he could talk to had no time to listen to him. His parents were never there for him...never...

Suddenly, his foot caught in an upturned twig and he crashed forwards into the ground, his beautiful hair breaking loose and cascading around him. Before he could get up, the boys were onto him and they pinned him down, holding his wrists with their iron grips.

"You can never run away from us, fool," Ryuga cackled, grabbing him by the hair and pulling him around: "Jack, Damian, tie him up."

"H-hey! W-what are you gonna do to me?" Tsubasa demanded fearfully as Jack twisted his arms behind his back whilst Damian entwined a length of rope around them, binding them together.

"We're gonna have some fun with you, that's what!" Ryuga laughed. Pulling out a piece of blue cloth, he stuffed it into Tsubasa's protesting mouth while Jack tied another around it to prevent him from spitting it out.

Tsubasa trembled as they circled him, each laughing menacingly.

"Let's see...what do we do with you?" Ryuga asked in mock thought.

"I know! Let's start by tickling him!" said Damian: "He just hates it!"

"Great idea! Let's start off softly then go real tough!" said Ryuga.

Bending down, they dragged him towards a tree and laid him down beside it. Restraining him with all their might, they untied his hands and pulled his arms back behind the tree, securing them behind it with rope. Then they tied his feet together and began taking off his shoes and socks, all the time entertaining themselves with Tsubasa's muffled pleading.

When he felt a finger sliding up his bare sole, he felt shock waves resonating through his leg, the tickling sensation already driving him crazy. He twisted his hands in their rope hoping the somehow get them free but they were too tight, and the ticklish feeling weakened him greatly.

Ryuga stroked his fingers up and down Tsubasa's soles while Damian sat on his knees to hold him still. They both danced their fingers along the curves of his soles as he desperately wriggled and squirmed, screaming through his thick gag. Suddenly, he felt fingers sliding tortuously along his belly, and realised with tremendous shock that Jack had begun tickling him on it!

"Mmmmmppphh! Mmmpph! Mmpphhh!" he screamed as his whole body raged with the cruel attack it was receiving.

Suddenly, he gasped as he felt something worse, ten times worse, making him twitch and pull in desperation.

Ryuga had found a large mosquito bite on his foot and was prodding it, encircling it with his finger and stroking it cruelly.

"Here, rub this onto his soles! It'll drive him insane!" Tsubasa heard Damian saying. Wondering what hell was still in store for him, he screamed as the torture began to increase and rise to insane levels. Ryuga and Damian sloshed some kind of lotion over his feet and began brushing his feet with delicate paintbrushes, twirling them along his soles whilst fluttering fluffy feathers over the rounded parts. Ryuga had began sucking his mosquito bite, licking it and blowing tortuous raspberries onto it and his soles while Jack tickled his belly with one hand and his bare neck with the other. Soon unable to take anymore, Tsubasa fainted and Ryuga groaned: "Aaaww maaann! I was really having fun!"

"We'll do it next time! Let's just leave him here. Maybe a wolf will eat him!" Jack laughed as the three began walking away, leaving the unconscious Tsubasa on his own.
