Vincent Nightray had blonde hair that went to a few inches below his shoulders. He had one wine-red eye and the other a perfect gold like Raven's.

He wore the same uniform as a member of Pandora. His ears were pierced with hoops that dangled off of chains hooked into each ear.

Pandora~Hearts

"What are you doing here?" Gilbert all but shouted at the blonde-haired male.

"And here I thought that you'd be happy to see me, Onii-sama," Vincent said sweetly.

Raven looked slightly flustered. "Well, I am glad to see you, but I didn't expect to see you here."

Vincent looked around at the group, his eyes freezing at Jack; his skin paled.

"Who are you?" Vincent whispered, as if he'd seen a ghost.

Jack smirked malevolently. "My name," Jack said, "Is Jack Vessalius."

Vincent paled even more, if possible, at hearing Jack's name.

"O-Jack?" Alice asked. "Who's he?"

Vincent looked at Alice closely, and grew even paler than he already was.

"Alice," Jack said, "This is Vincent Nightray. Raven's younger brother by two years."

Vincent looked quite close to fainting right about now, so he did just that. He collapsed onto the ground, unconscious.

"And now as for you," Jack said, becoming serious and grave as he turned to Echo, "I believe we have something to settle, Zwei."

Echo's eyes widened at the name as she began glowing a light maroon. The light grew stronger and stronger, until it blinded practically everyone there, but Jack.

When it died away, there stood a member of the Baskerville, maroon robes and all.

"Well, boy," Zwei said haughtily, "You've figured out quite the mystery!"

No one noticed Sharon and Break arriving.

"Indeed," jack said, "Now tell me, how long have you existed? A hundred years? Maybe more? Or did you come into existence just over a decade ago?"

"Who are you?" Zwei hissed.

"I'm sure that you've already heard my name," Jack smirked.

"You lie!" Zwei screeched, summoning her Chain, Doldam.

Raven cringed at the sight of it.

"Who are you?" Zwei shouted.

"B-Rabbit," Jack called out as Alice reverted back to her larger form.

"B-Rabbit," Zwei breathed in slight awe and fear.

"Zwei, if we battle, then the outcome won't be pretty," Jack told the Baskerville member, "But stand down and no harm will come to your Chain."

"Never!" Zwei hissed, "Now reveal who you are!"

"You know me," Jack said, climbing onto Alice's shoulder and standing there.

"Lies!" Zwei shrieked.

"No," jack said simply, "Ten years ago, you'd sent me to the Abyss."

"No…" Zwei breathed, "It couldn't be…"

"Of course it could," Jack said, 'I really didn't want to reveal myself this early, and after wiping their memories! But I suppose I'll have to do this and rearrange Zwei's memories to the best of my ability.' "I am Oz Vessalius!"

Sharon, Gilbert, and Break looked on at Oz in shock, just as Zwei did.

The trio's eyes widened as the block placed on their memories broke.

"Kill her," Jack said monotonously.

Alice swung her scythe at Doldam numerous times before she was destroyed, leaving Zwei without a Chain.

Jack leapt down from his Chain's shoulder and walked up to Zwei, who was kneeling on the ground in shock. He kneeled down in front of Zwei and paced a hand on her head as it began glowing a faint white. "You shall report that Jack Vessalius has returned at long last to end the fight that has been raging for so long. Tell Glen Baskerville that Jack is coming for him.," Jack whispered into her ear.

Zwei disappeared in a flash of maroon light.

"Oz," Raven said, hoisting a still unconscious Vincent up on his shoulder.

"Gil," Oz gave a curt nod.

"You wiped our memories," Sharon stated.

Oz just nodded as he, Alice and Gilbert went into one carriage, putting Vincent with Sharon and break in their carriage.

"You haven't changed, Gil," Oz stated, looking out the window, grabbing Gilbert's attention.

Alice slept on as if nothing was happening.

"How would you know?" Gil asked, smiling wryly, "I betrayed the Vessalius Household."

"So what if you've become a Noble?" Oz asked, looking at his old friend.

"Why do you say that you've changed?" Oz asked, "Is it because you've grown? Is it because you've become part of the Nightray Dukedom? Or is it the fact that you've learned how to use a gun?"

Gilbert said nothing; instead, he just looked away.

"It doesn't matter." Oz said, "None of those things do. It's natural for things to have changed in a decade. Look at me and tell me that I haven't changed."

Gilbert still said nothing.

"Gil, none of those things matter," Oz said, causing the black-haired man to look at the gold-haired man across from him when the moonlight shone down on him, giving him a mysterious, and yet angelic look, "I do know that no matter what, I won't let go of you very easily."

Gilbert looked on at his old friend in slight shock and awe. "If you're really willing to forgive me," Gilbert said, as he knelt in front of Oz within the carriage, as it stopped (horses can't go on without stopping at some points), "Then I still wish to be your servant till the day we both perish."

"It's been a while, hasn't it?" Oz smiled gently.
