1st draft with little to no editing.

Sorry that this chapter is super short. I was gonna wait until it was longer, but it's been a while since I've posted anything so I decided to upload what I have so far.


Ryuji had memorized the layout of the mansion fairly well, so he knew where the nearest window was. The only problem was dodging all of Pegasus' men, who were all on high alert and had their guns drawn. But he was able to evade capture by taking his time, hiding around the corners and listening for voices and footsteps. Luckily the only one who could watch his movements from the security cameras was Pegasus himself, who was probably too busy dealing with the intruders. Or maybe he trusted his men enough to let them find him themselves. Either way, Ryuji was grateful that they didn't know his current location. Otherwise he would probably have to shoot his way out, and he only had a limited amount of bullets. Four to be exact. Though there was a way to get more.

When Ryuji looked around the corner, he saw a lone guard, who was looking about nervously. Perfect. The guard began walking in the opposite direction and Ryuji followed, holding his breath so that there would be no sound. As he got closer, Ryuji undid his necklace and wrapped the ends around his hands. Now he was within striking distance. Not wanting to wait too long and waste his chance, Ryuji lifted the necklace up and over the guard's head before putting it around the man's neck. As the guard tried to put his fingers between his neck and the object that was strangling him, Ryuji tightened it, using all of his strength. The faster the guard died the better.

It took a minute, maybe two, but the man's body finally began to grow limp until he stopped moving entirely. Not wanting to take any chances, Ryuji grabbed the guard's head and did a sharp twist, snapping his neck. There was no doubt now that the man was dead. Ryuji grabbed the corpse's gun and checked to see how many bullets it had. All six were there. Made sense, considering the fact that they very rarely needed them. Now he had a higher chance of getting out. If they saw him now, he could kill up to ten of them. But Pegasus had more men than that, so it would be best if he continued to stay out of sight.

Ryuji straightened up and froze when he heard the distinct sound of footsteps come up behind him. Someone had snuck up while he had been grabbing the gun.

He silently cursed as he turned around, his hands in the air. If he had tried to shoot whoever was behind him, it wouldn't have ended in his favor. Even if he was able to shoot them first, with his back facing them, he didn't know if there was more than one standing there. When Ryuji faced the man, he was caught off guard by their appearance. While the man was wearing a suit, it wasn't the same simple black one that all of Pegasus' men wore. Instead, it was a light shade of purple. But that wasn't what Ryuji found so peculiar. The stranger's hair was long, reaching his knees, and was light blue; and his eyes were two different colors: Turquoise and yellow. The good news was that he seemed unarmed.

As Ryuji began to lower his arms, the man held out his hand as he gave him a slight smile. Before he could ask what he was doing, Ryuji felt something cold in his throat, as if an anaconda that was made out of icy air was slithering inside of it. It somehow blocked his airways and he began choking as Ryuji felt himself getting dizzy, his entire body growing cold before falling to his knees. When he looked up, he saw the man flick his wrist and everything went black.

Dartz watched Ryuji's soul escape from its vessel. "I am sorry, my friend." He said as the soul was absorbed into his necklace - which had a symbol that resembled a star - though his face showed no remorse. "But I don't want any survivors."

Raphael - a muscled man with spiky blond hair - walked up to Dartz and dropped to one knee. "Everyone is inside the building."

Dartz turned around to face his henchman, giving him a polite smile as he walked past him. "You know what must be done." When he was two feet away, he began to dissolve and disappeared.
