~Chapter X: The Sins – Part Two~

~One Year before The Remnant Program~

In a chapel within the city of Atlas, a decent sized crowd starts to enter the building, with a hearse to the side. But there we're two that waited at the side of the hearse as the crowds went inside. Those two; we're Nao and Elena Sin.

Nao Sin, at the age of fourteen says to his young sister; "Sis, you ok?" as he looks to the high rises not far. Elena, young and depressed says; "What do you think Nao. We are now on our own; with only the help of the government. You and I have lost our dad, so you tell me how i'm feeling." she kicks the ground, in an annoyed manner.

A gentlemen comes out, and says; "Mr. and Mrs. Sin. Its time." as Nao looks at Elena. He then says, "Mind if I have a minute?" to which, the gentlemen abides as he and several others start getting the casket out. He goes quickly to Elena, holding her. He then says; "I know that for now on, I have to protect you. Regardless if Athlesian forces prove otherwise, I need you to trust me." He then hugs her, as he says; "I have to endure what comes next, so for your big brother; please just try to trust me."

Elena sees a tear, as it comes from Nao. She then holds him at the same time; saying "I understand. And i'll try my best to support you..for as long as I can."

For the day as it went on, the funeral for Nao and Elenas father occurred. A lot of people we're there, including even some military heads like General James Ironwood. But for Nao and Elena; they had to endure it. Because they knew that it couldn't get worse for that day. But as they buried Prometho Sin, and with everyone leaving; it only left Nao Sin and Elena Sin as they stood in front of the grave.

"Prometho Sin..dad." Nao says. He looks at Elena, as she walks away; knowing what he would say. "Dad, I wish you didn't leave me and Elena. We wanted you to stay with us, for a long time. And now; I have to take care of her. Its times like these where I wish that you can show me.." he stops. And as he tries to say what he would want to say; tears start coming down onto his eyes. "Dad, please let me show Elena the way to happiness! I don't want her to suffer like how you and Peau's time. Please just trust me, and let me show her that way." Nao says as he breaks down, kneeling next to the grave.

Elena sees it and hugs him as they both start to cry. Elena says; "I'm not going to leave you Nao, just like how your not going to leave me. Ok?" as the nighttime sky starts to arrive.

~Two Days after the raid on Ro Dao~

In a seat, of an jet; Nao sits asleep and blindfolded as he gets awakened by the sounds of two people talking. He knows he is tied up, and just abides and listens to it. From what he heard; it related to him and the blueprints, but that was most of what he could of gotten. And as one of them walked to a chair next to him. The figure took off the blindfold, having Nao blinded for a few seconds from the light.

The figure says; "You know, its great to see you again.." and as the blindness ends; he can finally see as the figure. It was Uza, but not cloaked. Nao's eyes widen and then change angrily. Nao says then, "Uza." "In the flesh, after a long absence of not seeing you; its glad you find knowing that you remember the shit that I did."

Nao says, "Uza, I thought you'd be dead. Considering that last I heard, my father left you to die, and rightfully so from a large herd of Griffons." Uza says, "Perhaps you may know that, for when you work well enough for me." Nao scoffs, "Yeah; says who. Considering the odds, you may very well be stupid enough to believe in that." Uzas eyes edge narrower, "You seem to think you are being allowed to leave." She stands, placing a full arm sleeve, reaching from her shoulder to the tips of her hands.

"You may seem to mis-think that I'm weak. Well then," Nao sees an emblem, resembling a Grimm eye on one side of it. "Lets see if you can handle this." She places her hand next to Nao, as he starts to see a light come. And as that light ends, a beetle-shaped Grimm pops right out of her hand, looking profusely at Nao. Naos eyes change almost instantly to fear, knowing that its a rare Grimm that sucks aura. Nao says, "STOP!" in fear, as Uza smirks and raises her hand so the Grimm wouldn't touch him. The creature then evaporated in the air as it didn't have anything to keep its life-span going.

She removes the sleeve, as Uza says; "Now, Mr. Sin; know that if you go out of line, your life can go any second. Remember that." Uza then punches Nao in the face, making him black out in the jet.

~One Week after the flight to Mistral~

In a Mistral fortress; outside the city, Nao Sin lies asleep. As he sleeps; he is being watched by Uza, Mary, Nanto and Cinder Fall. Uza, looking at the screens says; "Cinder," Cinder smirks; nodding up and down. Uza says, "Any word on our boss's motives of Nao since the last time we talked last week?" Cinder says, "Yes, but it should be best that we don't let Bloody and Nanto hear of it." Mary abides and leaves, as Nanto says; "Fine, but before I leave. I need to know; am I and Auro out of it?" Uza says, "We'll let you know after this."

Nanto leaves, with a shrug as the doors close. Cinder says; "She wants me to retrieve the power of the Fall Maiden soon. But I told her, that it'd take some time. Fortunately; I found two people that would fit the help..plus an army that would not only help our main work; but helping your endevaors in those..special individuals." Uza smirks; "Well done then. And I take it that she needs my assistance with some of her..personal jobs?" Cinder says, "No. As we both know; she's waiting for the right time to start those jobs, as you and I both know what will happen next."

Uza understands. She then says, "What shall we do then about Nao? I mean, considering the blueprints and all that; I would say i'd do good supervising the project and..well, interfering with it as much as possible." Cinder says, "That's exactly what the queen has you in-mind for. And, to take care of having the Remnant Program shut down by a four month period, do I make myself clear?"

Uza says then; "Crystal."

~Days after that~

Nao wakes up in the fortress, in a prison cell; seeing the window showing of a winter like morning at Mistral. He realizes that he is far from home, but before he said anything; he heard something from his room. He didn't notice before, that someone was in the same room as him. He looked; seeing it was a girl, at the age of 12 years and 11 months old. He asked to the girl, "Whats your name?" the girl was tapping on the ground, with a stick; but stops. She sits up, as she points to the bed.

Nao sees it as a sign to sit there; as he does. He then asks again, where the girl drags the stick to the ground, spelling out her name. Its said backwards; Arietta. Nao says "Ar..Arietta?" she nods, as he says; "Are you not able to speak?" as she keeps nodding. He then says, "Can I call you Arie?" She stops, and looks Nao in the eyes.

Nao then says "You...have silver eyes.."

Before Arietta could react to that, the prison door is kicked wide open as its Mary. "Rise and shi-" as she sees Nao and Arietta awake. She changes her emotions to disappointment as she wanted to wake him up. She then grabs both of them and just shoves them out.

"Forget this; you and Arietta will be helping." she says, as she blocks one way. Nao couldn't see it at the time, but he was walking on a catwalk that's five floors above. Nao says, "Whats your name?" to Mary. Mary says, "Trust me kid, you won't want to know." She pushes Arietta more close to Nao, as Nao starts to notice how big the room is.

He then is pushed to a large room with overhead windows. Combined with multiple tool kits, and stands. Mary says; "Uza placed me in charge of the project that you and Arietta would be doing. Complete it by a month and a half, and you'll be possibly granted the use of leaving the compound..with some changes to the mind; of-course." Nao shrugs and gets down on her level; as he confides.

After that day, Nao and Elena worked for hours and weeks, to finish what was included in the blueprints. And with nearly a week before the end of two months, Nao and Arietta nearly finishes the armor.

~Five weeks before Elena's entry to Mistral~

On a fateful night, Nao was working forcefully, when Nanto was watching. Nanto, with Mary said; "So, with Crimson nearing its finishing touches; what would happen next for Nao?" Mary scoffed and said, "I can't believe that she didn't tell you!" Nao hesitates, but keeps going to avoid trouble, as Arietta sleeps alongside him. "Nao will be given that pure bless of sleeping for a long time." Nao stops. So much that he slips up and pushes a wrench to the ground.

Nao then says, "Mary." as he turns, "Let me tell you something..a poem, shall it be." Arietta wakes, as Nanto and Mary both notice. "Uza and I go back for..shall we say something personal. And to describe that, I have a poem to express that." Nanto's mouth gets tense, as Mary says; "Sure, considering that you are almost finished."

Nao says, "Each love, is like a flower.

With each one given, I picked and wished for the words to be true and honest.

But even to that, each root was riddled with lies, and discording truths. And slowly, it left without saying anything.

Each Flower that I picked myself, I remembered the dark blue eyes; as the roots kept strong..just like her true and honest lies."

Nanto and Arietta's eyes widen, not sure what to think; as Mary laughs. She then says, "You call that a damned poem?! I call that a shit-show!" Nao stares at her, as she laughs. Arietta then turns to Nao, unsure of what he was thinking; "To that, Bloody Sangria-" he raises his hands. "Killing something that isn't human is something to say." Marys face changes, almost like something hit her. Mary shruged, saying; "How would you know that."

As Mary says that, a large amounts of sheet metal falls to Mary, holding her down. Nao says, "Because I don't want to be the jackass in the group that wants people to die." He then rushes to Ariettas hand, and says; "LETS GO!" as he drags Arietta away, with Nanto pursuing after them.

The conflict goes as a game of hide and seek; as Nao and Arietta quickly find their weapons, going into total hiding. And as both Mary and Nanto try to find them. Nao looks at Arietta and says, "Go and leave me behind. I'll find you when I can, just run." as Nao runs. He then shouts, looking right at Mary, "Hey Bloody Bitch!" Mary stopped her moving, and turned right to Nao. Nao then says; "If you want me, then come get me!"

Mary jumps down, as Nanto pursues Arietta with Mary saying to Nao; "So, you want to be a good guy don't you?" as Mary has her weapon, the battle axe transform only slightly as she says; "You care to take a slight listen?" as all the windows shatter. Nao, gets cut only by a few of the glass shards as Mary says; "My semblance is to use the glass as a means of..shall we say, a portal."

Nao then says, "Cool story, but in a way I think its time that we wrapped this-". But as he was going to finish, she appeared right behind him saying; "up now, Mr. Sin?" Nao shifts, and quickly tries to evade an attack from Mary as her axe blade pierces Nao's face; only slightly. Nao groans, in pain only shortly as he dodges the next few swings come close to Nao's stomach. Before Mary could harm him, Mary was thrown a large burst of a flame as the pain caused her to escape.

Nao quickly glanced, seeing Nanto stand behind him as he layed, seeing her. She then said; "..I have a question-" as she grabs him and holds him by the throat, with Nanto's eyes completely black. "What do you cherish in this world..your own personal gain, or helping the well-being of others." Nao didn't feel pain, as she held him up with her eyes looking directly at Nao. Nao then says, "..I fight for helping the people that can't be saved."

She loosens her grip, and brings him down as she says; "Even naive, you could be something.." Nao then runs, as she stands in the room. She then runs, to tell him to follow her as they then find Arietta and leave by the Phantom.

After that day, Nao was taken to the bar, with Arietta alongisde him as he was taught the basic principles of armor, mechanized to react. But it wasn't long until Uza and Mary found Nanto, along with Nao and Arietta. But in a way, Nanto wasn't affected, as their main priority is to have Nao. And on one night, they found him and took him back to the Castle, warning Nanto to not interfere with them or he'd die.

~Three weeks before Elena's entry to Mistral~

On a morning day, Nao wakes; seeing that he was in the lab as opposed to the prison cell. Nao then whispered, "what the.." as he walked around, grabbing a crowbar. He then hears the sound of Uza, as she says; "Hello Mr. Sin." He then turns, seeing Uza sitting on the top of a rail above him. Nao then says; "I'm surprised you let me out of the cage unsupervised.."

Uza glances, and says; "I'm facing an issue of circumstance here Nao; so I would tell you right now to pay..well, attention." Nao then sees Uza drop to the ground; as she locks eyes with Nao. "I take it age had you very well," Nao says; angrily as Uza rises up. Uza then says, "Well.." she takes off the cloak, fully showing her body in armor and facial features. "What kind of mother would I be, Nao?"

Uza lunges, as Nao dodges her attacks of her sword. Nao then tumbles to the ground, as his mind triggers something that causes a headache. Uza stops, seeing Nao in pain as she smirks. Nao turns, seeing Uza giving a smirk and says; "Wait, why are you not fighting!?" She tells Nao; "I believe your father had this best," to where she stands.

Nao's eyes then widen, as he says; "Wait..what did you do to me!" Uza laughs as she says; "Oh my dear Nao, I did something that to you, may be impossible by man. A hidden taboo that only those cruel enough preform." Nao pauses, thinking; as he realizes what she did to him. His eyes then become colored crimson red, as he yells in a lowly pitched voice; "You..YOU BITCH!" as he runs, and attacks her at a speed that she had never seen anyone go on.

He threw his fists to Uza an large amount of times, as she was eventually hit in the face at a large velocity, breaking her aura. Uza felt the pain of the throw, as she drew her sword, glowing red. Uza says, "Nao, calm down or I will have to use force!" swung; hitting Nao's left arm.

The impact of the sword immediately caused Nao to widen his eyes; changing the color back to the light-blue eyes as he grew out a loud shriek that could have been heard for a mile. And as Uza accelerated the force of the blade, it mutilated the arm, in a precise and clean; while dirty and rushed job, causing a great amount of blood to spill as Nao collapsed to the floor. Uza then brought back her sword and placed it in a holster as she then said, "This is the price you get for leaving me, my son."

She then Grabs Nao's head and leans his body up, "If you ever think that you can reawaken the powers of an Artificial Intelligence core, I will personally; and without hesitation-" she then forces Nao to the ground. "I will end your life, and make it all a show, a sight for everyone and I mean EVERYONE TO SEE!" Nao is let go, as she walks away as Nao falls unconscious; with Uza saying, "For as long as I, Faruza Sin have control of you; you won't escape my wrath."

After that night, Nao had to endure the removal of the Artificial Intelligence chip, implanted into the back of his head. But shortly after, he was enduring the more bitter pains of being attached to an prosthetic robotic arm, that caused extreme pain that ceased work for a week and a half as Uza and Mary kept watch.

~One Week before Elenas appearance at Mistral~

Nao wakes up, noticing that all the lights we're turned off. He thinks to himself, "..could it be?" as he walks slowly. And as he enters an office, he sees that no one is there, with most of the computers off. But he looks at the AI Chip that was inserted into him. At first, it was a large hesitated moment for Nao, but he figures that he wouldn't have any opportunity for it. And so, he grabs the AI Chip and slowly walked to the computer.

He puts the chip into the computer, knowing the ratio of this working was unlikely. But as he opens it, the computers microphones say, "Program Dot Crimson Now Active." Nao sees a virus program, and runs it.

Nao stops, and says; "Wait, did you remove that already?" Crimson says, "I tried, but I needed help from an external source. So yes, I am now." Nao stops. He thinks to himself, "why the hell did I never think of that.." Crimson says; "I am now accessible to use with the circular item they attached. Keep in mind, it may be hard to get used to it, but I can handle it at low settings at first." Nao regains his thoughts and says, "Will it allow me to use the combat suit?" Crimson says, "Yes. And, it'd allow you to use your capabilities as a wielder in an assortment of different manners."

Nao touches the back of his neck, still uneasy of the idea. But as he thinks, he gets the AI Chip out of the head, and slowly inserts it; saying, "I hope to god that I don't lose my mind.."

After that night, Nao got the chance to escape and since then, had hidden in a cottage only a few miles out east of the castle. And he didn't make contact with Nanto, as he feared of going back to the castle. He did hunt, and kept quiet as he lived, in what he thought was a lost cottage.

~The Day of the Splitting of Auro/Elena~

Nao was starting up a fire in the main family room of the cottage, as Crimson popped up. Crimson, as Nao was starting it up was saying; "Nao, I detected something interesting in the radars." Nao says, as he was lighting it; "Go for it, I can hear." Crimson then stated, "I detected seven airships flying over the forest over the past few weeks, to-"

"To the castle." Nao says. "Indeed," Crimson told Nao; "It seems that Faruza may have something planned..something bad. If I was you, I'd investigate that." Nao gets the fire to starts, as he looks up, seeing the body that Crimson formed. He then says, "C, mind if I ask what caused you to resemble my father?" To which, Crimson stated; "When examining your mind, I found a great deal of love and trust in your father. Plus, He was my previous master, so I would say its all fate that I resemble him."

"You mentioned that he was your previous master, what do you mean by that?" Nao asks. Crimson froze, as he says; "My Data as I last remembered being with him was that I was an aid for the combat suit that you surprisingly forgot." Nao then said loudly, "Well, its your fault for not..well...nevermind.." to which Crimson said; "I guess its all not cut out for you, now is it." Nao looks at Crimson and says, "Why does an AI like you have an emotion?" Crimson then states, "Perhaps its hard-wired."

Nao then hears a loud roaring sound as crimson states; "Just got three dots, they're coming here." Nao grabs his sword, as it transforms into the rifle where he runs to the front; aiming. He then notices that the section he was in was in a large storm that caused the fog around the area to be dense, so he said to Crimson, "C, keep an analysis of life within the area."

Nao holds his position as he aims, until he sees two motorcycles starting to enter the area. He starts to loosen, as he says to Crimson; "Any details you can gather from the surface data?" Crimson says; "Two Motorcycles, from what it seems; it has similar traits to motorcycles like Cyclon 340 and the Phantom." Nao draws back his weapon as he places it to his side; as he slowly walks out; with the display of Crimson gone.

He then looks to see three people, landing into the main driveway as those three notice Nao. And as soon as the motorcycles stop, one of the individuals on it gets off and stands. Nao says, "Well hello again..Nanto." He then sees Nanto take off her helmet as he notices the taking off of Auros helmet as hes confused. Auro says, "Nao? What the hell...what the hell happened to you?" as Auro and Nanto notices the prosthetic arm.

Nao's face is stale and blank as he says; "...lets just say I got the wrath of your previous clientele." He then says to Auro, "Where is Elena, and Margro?" Auro looks at Nanto, and says as he looks away from Nao; "They took Elena, and Margro's being dealt with by the government to improve on her social behavior." Nao stops, not knowing what to say; but only tells Nanto, "Nanto, hold down the fort." Nao runs, as Nanto looks towards him as he evades through the fog.

Auro says to Nanto, "Mother..what is he going to do?" to which Nanto says; "Something that should be done." After that, Nanto, Auro, and Arietta go inside the cabin as Nao runs. And as he gets to a large lake; he stops. Crimson pops back, saying "What are you doing?" To which, Nao says; "Waiting." Long after that, Elena dropped down to the lake as Nao dragged her up, with Elena asleep until a day after.

~The day of the Reunion~

In the room, Elena says; "I..I..I see." as she looks at Nao, as he drinks a cup of coffee. Nao then tells her, "As of right now, i'd guess that they know where we are..and in a way; all we can do is to survive what Mother may have in-store for us." Elena says to Nao, "Have you shown out..you know.." to which; Nao responds with "No, I haven't". He then stands up, saying as he drinks a small bit of the coffee. "I am wanting to make sure that its known when I know its safe to speak of it." She then leans, as Nao places his coffee on a table and helps getting her up. He then says, "Lets get you walking, little sis." as the morning goes on.

Shortly afterwards, Elena tries to start walking by herself; with various success as she sees Nanto and Areitta repairing the weapons, with Auro standing outside the cottage. Elena walks to the outside as Nao goes to Nanto, saying; "You know-" as he grabs a screwdriver next to Nanto, "you should think about getting a job as a mechanic. You'd actually do good at that." Nanto looks at Nao, and says; "You know, I think we need to stop the humor."

Elena walks; seeing Auro as she asks him, "What the hell happened." Auro, glances to see Elena as he says; "A lot." Elena then asks, "What happened to you?" with Auro saying, "Its a long story."
