AN: Howdy people! I'm back! And I have a new chapter! XD… I really have nothing to say!

This chapter is short because it's a transition chapter… Special thanks to my friend Alexis for helping me type this up!

Chapter XXVI: Unexpected Events Act III!

"Am I to assume, Weiss, that Maigen is also my sister now?" Nero asked from the right of us. Weiss immediately responded to his younger brother, a small smile on his face. "Yes, Nero. Starting today, Maigen is our sister."

Still unsure, Nero's eyes flickered towards us and to the floor nervously. A blush dusted Nero's pale cheeks, "Welcome to our family." But other than that greeting, Nero moved no closer to me.

I was puzzled by Nero's hesitance, but then I remembered what Nero said about himself. 'I am a monster. I have the power of oblivion! Everyone that I become close to, with the exception of Weiss, has been taken from me!" My eyes rolled. It was obvious to me that Nero wanted to join our hug, so I gripped his arm firmly after releasing Weiss and pulled Nero into my arms around my chest. My head rested a little bit below his collar. "You are not a monster, Nero. I love you as much as Weiss does, so don't be afraid."

My reassurance unleashed a torrent of sobs from Nero, who collapsed to his knees, taking me with him. Sobs shook his entire form as he buried his face in my stomach, his arms wrapped around my waist. Unfastening the muzzle on Nero's face, I ran my hands through his hair in comfort. Eventually, Nero began to speak through his tears. "Promise, promise not to leave me."

Normally distant eyes softened as I responded to Nero's plea. "I will not leave you, Nero. I promise."

His sobs softened until they eventually stopped, but Nero still didn't let go of me. "Nero," Weiss started, raising an eyebrow at Nero's unstable behavior. "You going to let go of our little sister?"

Nero's response was to tighten his hold on my stomach, making it a vice grip. "I will not relinquish my hold on her. She's my precious little sister."

I rolled my eye, but let Nero continue to hug me as I ran my hand through his ebony locks. "So, I'll explain my plan." I received several nods, including one from the man clinging to my middle. "We're going to escape using the secret tunnel on the twenty-second. I won't be leading you out of this metal Hell, though. I have to conduct the distracting team. I have several comrades above ground that will help me distract Shin-ra's SOLDIERs. I also have to save my shield-brothers from Shin-ra's labs. They might get experimented on and I can't allow that to happen to anyone."

"What time do we break out?" Dante questioned, twirling his jutte around effertlessy.

"Just wait at the entrance. The signal will be an explosion. "I supplied." My team above will attack the headquarters. But, the team is only made up of four people, so you have to get out and help us as quick as you guys can. We're not fighting to kill, just to cripple."

"That takes all the fun out of it, Maigen." Weiss complained, earning sounds of agreement from other Tsviets, except for Nero, who merely stared up at me.

I stopped running my hand through Nero's hair, earning a cry of protest from him. Growling, I stared up at the other Tsviets in the room. "I for one, don't want to become the very people we are trying to stop! I will not allow the slaying of innocent lives, forced to fight a war that they are not responsible for!"

Rosso practically snorted. "Like I'd listen to a child. I'll kill whomever I please."

I glared at the crimson haired woman with distaste. "No you will not."

The female warrior sneered haughtily. "Why would I not?"

"Because you'll have to get through me first." I declared with a dead serious tone.

Rosso smirked and drew her double bladed weapon, pointing it at me. "Very well then. I'll defeat you, take your place as leader and have us show the Shin-ra Army ant their pathetic SOLDIERs no mercy." Ignoring Weiss' order to stand down, Rosso the crimson charged at Nero and I with an aura of arrogance and bloodlust.

I made no move to defend myself, but smirked, a confident glint in my eyes as I stared at my attacker. "You are too arrogant, Rosso."

My statement merely angered the red head further. "Shut up!. No one will ever stand above me!." Then, in her burst of anger, Rosso turned into bloodburst Rosso.

Rosso came at Nero an I in an increased speed, probably not caring if she hurt Nero. I prepared to summon my three Makonoid guardians. However, just before I was about to speak, Nero lifted himself from my middle. Pulling me into a possessive embrace, Nero glared at Rosso with quiet fury as his oblivion attacked her with vigorous fury.

The obsidian surrounded Rosso from all sides, earning a cry of fear from the previously murderous woman. I was dizzy from Nero's sudden movement, so I couldn't make out Rosso's cries. All I could hear through my dizzy mind was Nero's rather possessive words. "Try to attack Maigen again, and you will know the true meaning of despair."

At this point, my face is just as blank. Nero just quoted Ulquiorra Schiffer from Bleach. Holy beansprouts, this day is just weird. And as much as I'd like to see Rosso suffer because she is a sadistic bitch, I need her to help fight this war. With a sigh, I took Nero's hand. "Nero, please don't hurt her. We need her for this war."

With as sigh, Nero retracted the oblivion, but still fumed in fury, glaring at Rosso who was unconscious on the ground. Then, Nero glanced at me, reverting to the usual gentle and shy persona that I loved about him. "I'm sorry, little sister, I lost control. I just didn't want you to get hurt."

I smiled at Nero in reassurance. "It's fine, Nero." … while taking out my PHS.

From across the chamber, Weiss yelled at me. "Does the other team know the plan, yet?"

I frowned and stared at my PHS screen for two full minutes. Then, I ran out of the room, dragging Nero with me. "Holy fudge truffles! I'm late!"

Review reply time!

Mata Nui: That hole in the roof will be huge! XD Oh boy, that chapter will be funny!

KaosTHedgehog: Tiryn took Genesis, with my permission, to torture him… Hehe…

UniCryin: Sephiroth knows how to keep a secret, though… a lot of exciting things happening soon!

Breaking-Benjamin-rules: I hope this chapter didn't disappoint!

Tifa2001: Hehe, I wouldn't call this 'romantic'… not yet at least! XD

Mizu Kouken: Aww thank you for reading my story! My OC started off as a character based off the real me, but then, I decided to give her a few more talents than I had… and much less faults. I found that I couldn't allow my character to become a mary-sue because they were despised in the fanfiction world… As a result, I became overly paranoid that someone was going to bash on my character. So, I drew a character map for Maigen and listed her talents and faults. I do the same with my one-shot characters and my other characters in recent stories. Actually, I don't live in Topeka… I live in New Jersey, very close to New York City. I would like to visit the mid-west, but I'm poor :P… I hope you have fun! And thank you for reviewing!

Lightslighting: I hope this chapter didn't bore you! I am very bad at writing transition chapters! XD

Bibliotaku748: here's the next one! XD

Exemia: I like giving people faults and excessive human qualities! It's fun!
