A new idea besides the one I told you guys about previously. I might make this a very short story tho, no major plans for it. Tell me what you think of it if I should make another chapter
The Supreme King. His name stirred fear in the hearts of the few and many who knew it. Those scarred by him knew exactly what he looked like. A male with a cold uncaring demenor with golden yellow eyes with an angular face.
His hair was said to be two toned of brown and light brown but very few saw it as he normally wore a helmet over his face so that only his eyes mouth and jaw were exposed. He was ruthless in his dispute against the rebelions that wanted him dead. His army feared. And several held captive for his amusement.
"Hehe…Still struggling I see?" His newest captive was a bluenette solider from the rebellion with piercing emerald eyes that just enamoured the dark king greatly. The bluenette just wordlessly sneered at the king. Haou just rolled his eyes. Haou, a name he was given some time ago that was unfamiliar and cold.
He only kept it out of the fear it sent through others. "Tsk tsk, Mr Andersen. Is that anyway to treat me who has a very busy schedule? I came down here to graciously visit you myself." The brunette chuckled wearing just a simple black attire with a dark purple cape flowing behind him, the sleeves of his pants and shirt covered all the way to his wrists and ankles.
The Bluenette however wore a torn and tattered lavender ruffled shirt and black jeans. "You have more people to torture than me. Better not keep them waiting, its very unkingly like." Andersen sneered again his sarcasm coming in full swing at the king who just smirked at him before activating the electric chains on his wrists making the male fall to his knees as his screams echoed in the cell he was in. "AAAAAHHHHHH!" The male grit his teeth crying out as his body twitched and thrived from the electrical current running through him.
"Any more sass you'd like to give me, Mr. Andersen?" Haou stopped the current listening to the jagged breathing coming out of the male who struggled to stay on his knees his head bend over his body trying to regain his thought process and motor function.
Haou had to admit he kinda liked torturing the bluenette as one of the newcomers that were dragged in less than 3 days ago along with a couple others. Haou had managed to make one of them his servant boy to train him better, Hell he wanted to give that opportunity to Andersen but the bluenette tried to slash his throat with a knife he had hidden in his boots, which explains his shoeless appearance.
His voice broke a couple times before he fully spoke up. "Your a demon, Supreme King…One day your reign will end." His emerald eyes blazed glaring at him. His golden eyes just looked the male over with apathy. "I'd like to see that. Tho it won't be in our life time." Haou turned his back on him as he walked through the other prison cells hearing the cries of his prisoners as he accends the stairs going back to his duties, making sure the rebellion was pushed back and under control.
"Hows the progress with keeping the rebels at bay?" He spoke to one of his generals which was a male with dark hair and hazel eyes. He saluted the king before explaining they were pushed back as far as a ridge.
"Blow the ridge sky high so they cant make it here except through the crocodile filled trench." His servant, a solider for the rebellion heard the whole thing as he narrowed his ebony eyes. 'Gotta get those explosives first before they can blow the ridge.' He thought as he snuck away following the King's solider when Haou turned away to enter the banquet hall to eat lunch.
Manjoume followed the Solider straight to the explosives which were stored in a warehouse of sorts in the palace courtyard. He quickly knocked out the male with a swift chop to the shoulder and neck area causing him to crumple to the ground. He looked at the explosives as he thought carefully.
'I better get down to the dungeons and explain all this…' He thought as he dragged the solider out of sight pocketing the key he had to the warehouse before he quickly undid his tie and tied the male's hands to the grate railing of the castle wall.
He proceeded to go back the way he came keeping an observing eye on the soliders positioned around. He knew they would be keeping tabs on him since he wasnt trustworthy since he was a former rebellion solider, having been one of the first captured and resigned to having to serve the king directly.
He despised the conditions he was stuck in. As lush and amazing the castle was, its ruler was nearly mad with psychotic tendencies that most of his army members wore electric shackles for punishment and if they were too used to electricty they would be stripped and whipped at every angle. Manjoume knew first hand when the king nearly burned his face over a missdone lunch order.
The black haired former solider made his way down to the prison cells being careful of any guards walking around nearby. He quickly walks to a cell filled with some of the other soliders he once worked with. "Manjoume?? Your still alive?!" The black haired shushed the short blue haired girl who was forming tears in her eyes.
"I have bad news. The ridge is gonna be blown up. I got the key to the warehouse but it's only a matter of time." Majoume looked at the four in the cell. Two were girls and the other two were males. Fubuki spoke up. "Andersen should have an idea. Can you find him? I think the king was just torturing him a few minutes ago." Manjoume nodded to the thick haired brunette as he walked pass their cage to a blue haired male sitting alone in his own cell about 5 cells over from the others.
"Johan! Johan, Oi!" Manjoume finally catches his attention the bluenette had apparently either dozed off or lose in thought as he looked up to meet ebony eyes. "Jun! How you been fairing?" He scooted as close to the cell bars as he could looking at the black haired male. Manjoume only allowed Johan to call him Jun because they were close friends and had grown up together.
"He's gonna blow up the ridge. What should I do with the explosives?" Johan smirked knowing fully well how crafty the black haired male was at getting his hands on things he wasn't supposed to. He thought for a moment before whispering to Manjoume his idea and plan, the black haired male's eyes widening.
"You think that will take him out?" Johan nodded at his words. "It will work sucessfully and in the meantime just before they go off come down here and open the cells so we can make our escape while the guards are distracted trying to find the king."
Manjoume's hardened with determination as he nodded at the teal haired male in front of him. "I'll get right on it. Just wait for me alright?" Manjoume straightens his body out and proceeds to the exit of the prison cells with care and stealth to avoid the changing guards.
Later that day he returns to the Warehouse and unlocks the door and grasps the largest container of explosives and got to work setting them up where they needed to be. He a while back had saw blueprints to the castle when they had expanded to include the prison cells. He saw where the weakest points were in the ceiling of the castle. He planned on literally blowing the ceiling in so it would collapse on all of the guards and the king.
The Supreme king went about his day in solace and boredom as he wandered the castle. He eventually sat on his throne. For Manjoume the places in the roof and ceiling that were weak were just bove the king's head currently as he got the explosives ready with a remote detonator which he carried with him as he went back to the prison cells. He managed to snag the keys from a guard he knocked out just outside the cells and quickly pocketed the key before entering the hallway.
He first went to the crowded cell and unlocked the door and the shackles connecting the 4 to the wall carefully and without much noise so that any nearby guards could hear. He hoped to unlock everyone and then detonate the explosives so it would give them a clear path outside while the guards try to locate the explosion and the king.
"Thanks Manjoume." Asuka and Rei cheered rubbing their sore wrists while Fubuki and Kenzan stretched out their stiff backs. Manjoume quickly walked down the 5 cell walk and unlocked Johan's cell before entering and undoing his shackles.
"Everything in place?" Johan rubbed his wrists looking the black haired male in his eyes who nodded before pulling a remote detonator from his back pocket to show the teal haired male. "Wanna do the honors so we can get out of here?" Johan nodded before taking the device and escaping the cell to be greeted by their friends.
"Johan, thank god." Rei hugged the fellow bluenette who chuckled and returned the gesture. He rested his chin on her shoulder nearly bending down to hug her. "I'm glad to see you guys are practically unscathed." He chuckled as his eyes went from Fubuki who was hugging his sister in relief and Kenzan who gave him a thumbs up.
He pulled away from Rei and clicked the button on the detonator. The group listened as sudden bams and blasts echoed in the room around them from the outside as the lights flickers and the cell doors rattled. "Time to make our getaway!" Manjoume cheered as he lead the group out of the prison block and into the castle to escape.

Few moments earlier
"What do you mean you can't find the key to the warehouse? You were the last one with it!" Haou slammed his solider general into the wall repeatedly with his dark magic. "Agh!" The male cried in pain as he was slammed into the wall before coughing heavily as he dropped to the ground.
"Damn you you fool! I should bury you right now!" He walked over and slammed his foot on the male's leg which despite being covered in armor plating he could still feel the weight of the supreme king's foot through it.
The blasts resound in the room as Haou cried out as the ceiling started to come crumbling down. "What?! Shit!" The king quickly pulled away from the solider as a second later a giant slab of the roof crashed and crushed the male solider with barely a scream. He clicked his tongue and quickly turn and fled as the ceiling broke down.
He could hear the guards in the room cry for him as individuals around him were crushed under the mess. He didnt stop running tho, his own powers could do nothing on inanimated objects. his men would have to fend for themselves if he was gonna make it out of the mess, which he knew was caused by the rebellion.
One bit of the ceiling which had another explosive attached to it crashed behind him, immediantly exploding behind him. It threw the king into a statue where his head collided into the stone carving, his ears ringing from the explosions around him as he gripped the statue, tying to keep on his feet.
His vision was blurring as the throbbing in his head continued as he slowly tried to get to the doorway, his cape getting caught under another piece of debri. 'Cmon, you can get out of this mess…' a slow thought went through his head as he snapped off his cape before jumping over bits of debri nearing the end of the collapsing hall.
He thought too soon as his leg gets caught as he jumped over another as he tore his pant legs and his leg twisting it as he ends up caved in by debri. "Aaaahhh!" His scream rings out as his head slams into the floor a second time, knocking him out.
His hair was barely visible through the debri. Shadows pooled away from the Supreme King's body as if fleeing from him.

The group of rebels managed to get to the part of the Castle where it was ravaged by the explosives to see several downed or dead soliders or guards littering the floor. "Your sure the Supreme King was caught up in all of this?" Fubuki brushed off dust from his tanned short sleeve top with leather brown jacket and chocolate brown pants.
Pretty much everyone wore a color that represented them. Asuka wore a similar attire make up of Golden yellow, Rei had navy colors and Kenzan had dark green. Johan was decked out in rich blues while Majoume was wearing a black and dark grey attire as well, Similar to what Fubuki wore except with arm bands either on their wrists or upper biceps. The girls wore shorts in place of pants with thick boots and tank tops and vests.
"Im positive. I kept track of his scehdule. He should've been in the throne room by this time." Manjoume led the group in the direction of the throne room as the sky could be seen above them, the ground just littered in broken ceiling and roofing.
Everything was covered in a sheet of dust and ash from explosions everywhere. Statues were broken, portrays were scarred or ashed, the rugs on the ground were stained with blood from dead corpses.
"Can we get out of here? There's a good chance he might be dead." Rei begged feeling uneasy seeing all the dead bodies of the Soliders.
"If we're lucky all the Soliders are dead as well." Kenzan spoke hoping. He was done with all the war and fighting and was being very hopeful of the idea that the explosion took out everyone who was loyal to the king, as well as the king himself.
"We have to make sure he's dead. Otherwise he could come after the rebels for revenge." Asuka being the voice of reason manages to persuade the others to keep moving. Manjoume and Johan being one of the two more willing to see.
"You guys go check. The three of us will wait outside for you guys. I don't think I can stomach the smell of blood." Fubuki insisted. Johan rolled his eyes and waved the three off as Asuka and Manjoume and him continued through the castle and slowly reached the throne room where the most damage was.
They reached the throne room to see the display of mess around the room including a mountain of debris. They could hear soft sobbing coming from one of the debris piles.
"Help… Is anyone out there!?" The voice was scared and tearful. Asuka ran over first and gasped. "Someone's trapped. Johan help me please!" The two boys looked apprehensive looking at each other.
"Guys!" Both let out a shallow sigh as they walked over and startled prying free the debris around the trapped person. "Please help me… I hurt my leg and I don't know where I am…" Brown eyes peer out from under the pile as the boys worked diligently to free the male.
Manjoume was the only one to let out a sharp noise when the two finished uncovering the trapped male, still dressed in his dark attire from before the supreme king was sobbing, shaking with tears in his brown eyes… not golden eyes as they once were.
His arms was pressed against his body as he shook looking up at the three as Johan got the king's leg free before addressing him. "Do you know your name?"
The brunette's lip trembled as he shook his head tears falling down his face. "N-no.. I woke up and I was trapped under there… what even happened here..?" His tearful brown eyes gazed pleadingly into his emerald eyes.
"Hey… hey it's okay. We ain't gonna hurt ya." Johan reached his arms out and hoisted brunette into him making him lean on him as he cried out in pain from the wound in his leg.
Manjoume looked at Asuka and Johan in disbelief. "Are you insane?!?" Asuka silenced Manjoume with a harsh look as she looked at the male clinging to Johan so he could stand up.
"Do you.. not remember your name or who you are?" The brunette shook his head sniffling at her words. "N-no… b-but can we get out of here? S-something is in here.." the three looked at him confused as the lights that lit the walls around them were being snuffed out.
"Hurry! I-it's coming!" The male cried out shrinking into Johan's side his trembling increased. Manjoume looked around seeing shadows cover the walls.
"Johan… leave him and let's go!" Manjoume barked at the teal haired male Asuka looking at Manjoume like he was insane as Johan lifted the brunette over his shoulder and started running the brunette cowering into Johan's backside as Asuka and Manjoume scrambled after him as the shadows inched towards them.
"What is that thing!?!" Manjoume cried out as they broke through the main hall the lights being snuffed out one by one as Fubuki Rei and Kenzan waited outside the doors of the castle.
"Minna! Hurry up!" Fubuki called out as they broke through the castle doors and stumbled down the stairs barely catching their feet and breath as they looked behind them to see the shadow crash into the door way of the castle as if being prevented to leave.
"What in the blazes was that?!" Kenzan spoke dumbfoundedly as the three saw the brunette in Johan's grip. "And who is he?" Rei pointed her finger at the brunette who kept his gaze down and his his face in Johan's hair.
"We don't know honestly…" Asuka murmured looking at the shaken male. Johan rubbed the brunette's back. "Can you talk to us now…? Do you know your name..?"
The brunette looked at them as Johan set the male down gently under a tree near the castle grounds as he looked up at them. "I-I think… I-it's on the top of my tongue…" He bites his lip looking down.
Fubuki walks over and pulled the male to his feet. "Let's not worry about your name. My name is Tenjoin Fubuki, this is my lovely little sister Asuka." He gestures to Asuka who gave a kind wave to to troubled brunette.
Kenzan marched over and shook his hand making the whole brunette shake on his feet before jerking his hand out of his grip before the tanned male could break it.
"Kenzan Hassleberry at your service!" The brunette chuckled slightly at his enthusiasm before looking at the short navy haired girl who pressed her hand to her chest before speaking.
"I'm Satome Rei, this is Manjoume Jun." The black haired male next to her just shrugged with an upturned smirk on his face. The brunette's brown chocolate eyes looked to the bluenette who had carried him from the castle.
Johan noticed his stare and sweated slightly at the attention the no name male gave him. "Johan Andersen." The brunette just smiled casually at his awkwardness as Fubuki dragged the male along as the group made their way back towards the base as the brunette continued to look back at the castle slowly becoming smaller in the distance behind them.
