Tai: "Alright, it's chapter thirty-seven."
Aka: "The thirty-seven!"
Tai: "Anyway, this is going to be a bit confusing."
Aka: "How so?"
Tai: "Well, I'm going to be switching the focus of the story every so often. Meaning, it won't be following Octavian the whole time."
Aka: "Oh good! I was hoping for a headache today."
Tai: "… DB, just go."

The Eyes of Red and Heart of Black
Chapter 37: Birth of The Unsaid Promise
The professor, James F. Kevin, sat beside the unconscious form of his assistant Bianca, laying in a hospital bed. His thoughts turned to the death of his lab partner, Fredric Grant, and the boy's sacrifice to insure the safety of both Bianca and himself. James didn't get to focus on the subject for long, for a shadow on the floor rose and formed into the vigilante.
"Ah!" James exclaimed, "Don't do that!" The vigilante turned to James. "My apologies," he said, "I didn't mean to startle you, sir." His gaze moved towards Bianca. "Will she be ok?" he asked. James cocked his head. Bianca had told him and Freddie that the vigilante had been the reason she was late to work. "The doctors say she should make a full recovery," James said, "but, I must know, how did you meet her? She arrived late, saying that she meet you."
The vigilante sighed. "She was cornered by two boys about her age." he explained, "I was patrolling the area at the time, and stepped in." James stared at the vigilante for a minute or so, studying his face and body movement. The professor would have said something, but the vigilante had apparently decided to leave, as he turned towards the open window.
"Before you leave," James said, "tell me, what is your name?" The pale-skinned boy glanced to James. "I go by Alucard," he said, "sir." The shadows below him covered him, and he transformed into the shape of a large bat. When the shadows flowed off his body, the now large silver bat flew out the window. James stood there for a second. "This is proving to be a dangerous predicament indeed." he said before returning his watch over Bianca.
[Meanwhile, 1st person point of view]
W-Where am I? Who am I? I can't remember… Wait… am I in a stasis tube? How'd I get here? There are people outside. Do they know how I am?
"Doctor," I hear one say, "the computer is reading a heart beat!" "What?" the 'doctor' replies, "that's impossible! The chemicals having a heart beat, it's ridiculous!"
I'm chemicals? Really? That can't be… chemicals aren't alive… Hang on! If I'm chemicals, and I'm able to think logically, then… Ow, my head hurts. Then again, I don't literally have a head to hurt. Hee-hee, that makes me laugh. For some reason…
[Outside the tube, 3rd person point of view]
A group of six scientists stood around the stasis tube that held a large amount of chemicals. The chemicals were a cyan color and fizzing within the glass container. The computer had alerted the scientists of something rather unnerving. A heart beat, signifying that the chemicals had grown a form of sentience in a sense. They were actually alive!
"Is it possible for us to actually talk to the chemicals?" one scientist asked. Before anyone else could say anything, BANG! The door was literally knocked out of its hinges. Standing in the doorway were two people. One was a man in his twenties, with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a suit of silver armor with a sword sheathed at his side. The other was a teenage boy of Asian descent, with green eyes and brushed down black hair, wearing a black/purple themed motorcycle outfit with red leather shoulder pads.
"No one answered when I knocked," the boy said with a smirk, "so I decided to let myself in." The older man walked up to the stasis tube and placed his hand on the glass. "This is quite the discovery," he said, "don't you agree, Marionette?"
A woman, about twenty, walked into the room. She wore a weird combination of a lab coat and cybernetic armor. She had electronic gloves and boots as well as a helmet that covered her entire head. Marionette, as she was called, walked up to the tube and placed her hand on the glass.
"Yes," she said, "I think we'll be taking it." One of the scientists tried to stop the three intruders, but the blonde man pulled out his sword and cleaved the poor guy in half. "Ouch," the younger boy said, "a bit quick to pull the 'cold-blooded killing' mode, Silver." the older man, or Silver as his friend had called him, merely sneered.
"He would have hit the alarm if I didn't do anything" he said, "Or he would have broken the glass if any of us were to waste time struggling with him." The kid rolled his eyes. "Hang on," he said, "I got the alarm." He picked up a metal tray and threw it into the wiring that powered the alarm system. "There! Now that won't be an issue!"
Marionette lifted her hands and all the equipment in the lab began to come to life. The gloves she was wearing released a cloud of dust that covered the machines, transforming them. Actually, the dust wasn't dust at all, it was swarms of nano-bots. The small automatons rebuild the machine holding the stasis tube so it could walk on spider-like legs and not need to be plugged into the wall. The scientists tried to stop the thieves from stealing the chemicals, but, Silver made short work of them. The three and the machine carrying the chemicals exited the building and disappeared in a flash of green light.
Tai: "Ok, as you can probably tell, the Revolutionists all have superhuman powers. Genso with his wind chi, Shuffle with his cards, Gold Sun with her flight and lasers, etc. That will be explained later. Anyway, I have a game for you, the readers."
Aka: "Oh boy! Is it Jenga?"
Tai: "No. It's a guessing game, I like to call, 'Guess the Revolutionists' Powers'."
Aka: "Aw. I wanted to play Jenga." *Sad Face*
Tai: "While reading the actions of the Revolutionists, try to find out what powers they have. Place your guesses in the reviews or by PM-ing me. When the they flat-out say their powers, I'll place the people who guessed right at the end of that chapter."
Aka: "What's in it for the reader?"
Tai: "Um…"
Aka: "You don't have anything, do you?"
Tai: "No, I do! The readers will get… um… a…"
Aka: "Give T-man some time, he'll think of something. Anyway, see y'all later!"
