Returning home soaking wet, Ai dragged his heavy body back to his room and collapsed on the bed. He wanted to cry but he no longer had anymore tear to shed. Even through he knew he would get sick if he doesn't change his clothes soon, the teen didn't care. He just laied there, silently gazing at the wall.

"Why...? Why did thing turn out like this...?"

Then suddenly, the memories he spent with Revolver as long with his last sentence before disappearing flashed through his mind. The next second, Ai shoot right up with his eyes widened.

"Ryoken? No... How could that be possible...?"

They have never met before. Yet, the young man knew exactly what his dislikes and likes were. He had only told them to the one he loves. Not to mention, his sentence "Anything you don't like, I won't do", Ryoken told him once when they were first dating. Ai always thought he froze that day because Revolver suddenly kissed him but no, that still wouldn't stop him from slapping the young man. The real reason was he could feel it the moment their eyes touched, the one standing in front of him was the one he had been longing for all these time.

Everything was confusing but he knew he needs to see Revolver again. However, it wasn't like he had a transport device laying around his house. Then, it hit him.

"How did I even got to Earth X in the first place...?" His eyes fell on the teddy bear Ryoken gifted him.

That day, after being dumbed by the teen, he hugged it and cried himself to sleep. When he woke up, he found himself laying inside the base which later on became the hideout for the last survivals of the city seconds before the explosion happened.

Moved toward it, he hugged it tight, closing his eyes while paying hard.

"Please... Lead me to where he is."

The next moment, he was showered in warmness. As it faded away, he slowly opened his eyes. That was when he found himself standing in a hallway. There was something wrong about this place. He could feel it.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps heading his way. Gazing around, he quickly hid in the closet room and kept quiet. Meanwhile, they got louder and louder. Before he noticed, that mysterious person was right outside the door and it didn't seem like they were going anywhere. Holding his breath while his eyes were glued to the door, Ai prepared himself for a battle which he might end up loosing. However, it happened. After two minutes of standing still, that person started moving again. Only when he couldn't hear the footsteps anymore did he let out a relife sigh.

Then, he noticed something at the corner of his eyes. When he saw what it was, he bit his lips and left the room in a rush. This place was somewhere he shouldn't stay for too long.

...

Making his way through the hallways, Ai looked left and right, back and forth to make sure the coast was clear before moving again. If he heard even the slightest noise, he would find a place to hide right away. Along the way, he heard someone mentioning "Black Phoenix", so he cautionary followed them to a giant hall where he saw Deity being chained a few feets from ground with her upper body leaning forward. Her beautiful clothes were torn to pieces while being stained in blood at the same time. They were barely covered her body. Wounds everything.

"Don't you think that's enough already." A black hair teen with blue highlight stopped in front of her. "I have killed every single "personality" that came out. You're the only one left. If you agree to switch place with him, I'll give you an easy death."

"Don't make me laugh! You have been trying for these last three months. Yet, you still fail to kill me." She spitted the blood in her mouth on his face. "As long as I'm still here, you will never touch him!"

The next second, the teen whose hand was covered in a blue flame grabbed her neck. It was fade but the smell of burning flesh was slowly filling the room. The others frowned upon being hit by it but none of them said a thing.

"Don't get so cocky, Deity. I have been going easy on you for old time sakes but I think it's time to seal the deal. I hasn't tried to suffocate you before, so let's see how it goes. If you're still alive after this, then at least, I don't have to listen to your whiny voice anymore." The flame grown stronger.

Unable to watch anymore, Ai ran out from his hiding place and shouted from the top of his lungs.

"Stop!!!"

When they heard that, everyone's eyes fell on him. Even Deity couldn't believe her eyes.

"Why...are you...here..."

"Ho? An acquaintance of yours?"

"Ai, run!"

He tried to tell her he wasn't planning to go anywhere but no words came out as he froze. It was like someone had casted an immobilise spell on him.

"You shouldn't scare him like that. We're all nice people." He said as he walked to Ai. Once there, he lifted the teen's chin up. "Now, who might you be? Cyber."

"According to my research, his name is Ai Ignister. However, it said he passed away when he was around six years old."

"I see. So you're from another world. Deity never shows any interest on anyone but you seem to be a different story. I wonder what will happen if I was to burn you alive right in front of her." He smiled evilly.

"Get your filthy hand off him!!!"

The next second, giant vines sprouted up from the floor, pushing him back. At the same time, Ai was able to move again. They weren't something he couldn't deal with his flame. However, unlike the usual vines created from her power, these one were much bigger and were thorny. One of them even managed to scratch him.

He got extremely annoyed and burnt them all. Then, in the middle of rhe sea of blue flame, a black flame dragon soared and sent him flying.

"So you finally decide to come out...Black Phoenix." He pushed himself up. It didn't look like he took any damage. Meanwhile, Revolver fell to his knee, coughing out blood.

"Revolver!" Ai called out while running toward him. However, before he got there, the young man held his hand out, opening a portal right under the teen's foot. Once he had fallen through it, the portal closed and Revolver collapsed on floor, unconscious.

"Queen bee. Reaper." The mysterious teen called out while gazing at him.

"How can we be of service?"

"Trace that one down and bring him back alive."

"As you wish, Soulburner-sama."
