-Aftermath-
"She cant come inside." A Guardian of Light told Kya. Violet glared at him angrily, Tsubaki on her shoulder still. They were at the headquarters of the New Guardians of Light. Two Guardians of Light guarding the door.
"Tsubaki comes with me." Violet told him, matter of factly, the Guardian just shook his head.
"The animal cant come inside either. But you have active darkness inside you miss, we cant allow you inside." The Guardian told her, Violet glared at him, before she and Kya looked at each other. Kya looked back to the Guardian and bowed respectfully.
"Give us a moment please." She told him, before she turned, and dragged Violet away, around a corner. Violet crossed her arms angrily.
"I cant believe we wasted a trip like this! I cant go in? That's stupid, it's not like I plan to assassinate the guy!" Violet complained loudly. Kya just looked at her.
"I understand their caution. They're adamantly against the Darkness. No compromise. You'll have to stay outside Violet." Kya told her, Violet just stared at her girlfriend in shock.
"You're actually taking their side?" Violet asked. Kya looked at her, and bit her lip.
"I'm not taking anyone's side Violet. This is an opportunity for me, a big one. I get to meet the leader of my faction. I need you to understand that, this is nothing about you, I just need to do this." Kya explained to her, Violet crossed her arms, and glared at her.
"But… I don't want to understand. I don't want you to leave me outside." Violet told her, Kya let out a sigh, and raised her hand, cupping Violet's cheek gently, the blonde leaned into her touch.
"Please Violet… I don't want to leave you out here, but I need to do this. Please don't be mad at me baby." Kya said gently, Violet let out a shuddering sigh. She closed her eyes for a few long moments, before opening them again, and nodding.
"Fine. Just… Please, try and hurry?" Violet asked, Kya nodded, leaning forwards and kissing Violet quickly, before she walked away, towards the house once again. The two Guardians of Light at the door nodded at her, and let her inside.
Kya looked around, the house was much fancier than she would have expected. She was raised to have a minimal care of useless objects. But there was fancy artwork on the walls, shining chandeliers, marble columns. Everything white, and gold, it was a bit blinding.
"Ah, Kya. Master Aqua's apprentice." A man said from the top of the stairs. Kya looked up at him, with a raised eyebrow. The man had long platinum blonde hair to his mid back. Pale skin, with nearly feminine features. Light blue eyes, he looked radiant, everything a person representing the light should look like.
"Are you… The leader of the New Guardians of Light?" Kya asked him curiously, he nodded, with a gentle smile as he descended the stairs, stopping in front of Kya.
"I am indeed." He told her, Kya offered her hand to shake. He took it and kissed it, Kya made a face, but said nothing about it otherwise. He lead her by the hand over to another room. Sitting her down on a couch, while he sat across from her in a chair.
"It's an honor to meet you. But isn't this all wrong? Master Aqua taught me that material possessions are better left alone. It's just a distraction from our duties." Kya told him, he chuckled lightly at her, in a condescending manner.
"Oh, poor child. Master Aqua told me you were wise, but there is still much to learn. Material positions are left alone when in training, as are personal attachments. Plus Master Aqua's viewpoint might be skewed from the true path of light. Spending so much time in the darkness, and around her friend Terra may have impacted her." He told Kya, who gave him a look.
"I don't know what you're trying to imply here but Master Aqua's viewpoint is not skewed." Kya told him, he just smiled at her in a condescending manner once again.
"Such fierceness. Good. But I called you here for two reasons, a long term mission, and I wanted to see what Aqua was talking about." He told her, Kya nodded.
"What's the mission? Will it require me to travel?" Kya asked, the man shook his head.
"Only back to your world. It has come to my attention that one of our people may be flirting with the Darkness. Seilo Drachma. He's been going into extensive research into Xehanort, it is worrying. I would like you to monitor the situation, and inform me of any changes." He explained, Kya nodded.
"Of course Sir. Now did you need me for anyone else? There's someone waiting on me." Kya told him, he tilted his head.
"Who's waiting on you? Why didn't they come too?" He asked, Kya shifted uncomfortably, but she set herself up for that.
"My girlfriend sir. They wouldn't let he in because she had active darkness in her heart." Kya explained, he hummed thoughtfully.
"Active Darkness… So she's apart of the enemy? Good job bringing her here, we can interrogate her for more information." he said, Kya's eyes widened.
"No!" Kya yelled at him, her hands balling up into fists. "She's not with the Children of Darkness, or the Protectors of Balance." Kya told him, he hummed once again.
"Regardless she cant be trusted. Anyone who uses the Darkness is susceptible to evil action, it cannot be allowed to exist. I'm afraid I must ask that you cut all ties from this person." He told her, Kya glared at him challengingly.
"And if I refuse?" Kya asked, he merely laughed.
"Then you shall be under evaluation and be watched over for signs of corruption." He told her, Kya scoffed, and stood up, turning to look at him.
"I'll get the job done. But I'm not leaving Violet." Kya told him before she stormed out of the house. Violet was waiting by another house, sitting on the ground, and playing with Tsubaki.
"Good girl!" Violet exclaimed happily when Tsubaki jumped from the ground to her shoulder. Violet looked up to see Kya, looking rather angry, she merely smiled and hoped it wasn't something she did. As far as she knew, she hadn't done anything to upset her.
"Come on, let's go." Kya said, agitation lacing her voice. Violet nodded and stood up, Kya took her hand and pulled her away. She loved the light, and Master Aqua, and everything she taught her, but there was something off about the New Guardians of Light, she would have to investigate further.
"Something wrong?" Violet asked, concerned, Kya shook her head, slowing her pace down. She took a deep breath, before looking at Violet, and smiling.
"No. Nothing. So, do you know anything about Seilo?" Kya asked, Violet shrugged.
"He's nice enough. I guess, why?" Violet asked, Kya shrugged, before shaking her head.
"You know what, I'm just gonna tell you. The New Guardians of Light leader wants me to investigate Seilo for any corruption of Darkness." Kya told her, Violet nodded.
"Okay. Well, I don't know anything. Like, back in the beginning of the year I picked up a piece of paper that fell out of one of his books. He seemed keen on hiding it, so I didn't say anything, and just took it as he walked away." Violet explained, Kya raised an eyebrow.
"Do you still have it?"
"Yeah, I just threw it in my bag. It's probably still in there…" Violet muttered, before grabbing her bag, and swinging it around so it was in front of her. She began to rifle through it before finding a piece of paper and pulling it out. "Is this it? No, those are lyrics…" Violet said after she checked it, folding the paper once again, and placing it back in her bag.
"This is going to take a while. Let's go back to the hotel and finish searching there, okay?" Kya asked, Violet nodded.
"You got it." Violet confirmed, Kya smiled and gave her a kiss on the cheek as Violet moved her messenger bag back behind her. She let Kya lead them through the streets happily.
-Aftermath- Destiny Islands-
"So, he's here?" Damon asked as they looked around the small little town by the beach. Vani nodded, smiling a bit to herself. She's always loved this world. Chrysander looked around, rather uninterested in the beauty around him.
"He should be. According to Bookworm he was here within the week. Judging by past behavior he should still be here, but anything is possible." Vani said, Damon nodded.
"So, should this take much longer?" Damon asked, Vani shook her head.
"No. The house is just up here. If he is in there I shall leave to give you some privacy, but he may not be the same as you remember him." Vani warned him, Damon nodded, as they stopped in front of a house.
"If he doesn't see reason we'll wipe his mind, and bring him back to headquarters?" Chrysander asked, Damon glared at him.
"Hey, you wont do nothing to my dad." Damon told him, Chrysander glared at him.
"The mission is to bring him back, if you interfere with that, then obviously you're a problem, and problems need to be eliminated." Chrysander countered, Damon shook his head, and Vani glared at the pair of them.
"Stop fighting. We'll see once we get inside." Vani told them, before trying the door. She smirked, the door was locked. She dropped down to one knee, and pulled a lock pick from her belt. Unlocking the door a few seconds later, she stood back, and opened the door.
"Who is it? Is it Vani?" A gruff voice asked from deeper inside the house. Vani smirked, and walked inside, Damon recognized his father's voice, and rushed in. Chrysander stepped inside with a bored expression, shutting the door behind him.
"Dad? Is that you?" Damon asked aloud, moments later a man came out from a room. Dark skin, black beard, and a short black hair. He had a large scar across his left eye. Tyreese Darnell.
"What's he doing here Vani?" Tyreese asked, glaring at her, she merely smirked at him.
"He was assigned by the Boss, why else would he be here. We shall leave you two alone to… Clear the air." Vani told him, before nodding to Chrysander, who opened the door, and left, Vani smirked as she closed the door. Leaving the father and son inside the house. Damon glared at him.
"How's you mom doing?" Tyreese asked, Damon glared at him.
"If you were actually around, you would know." Damon spat at him, Tyreese let out a sigh.
"So, you're angry… I get it, I do kid…" Tyreese trailed off, staring off into the distance. "I just… You gotta understand. Bad things happen, and sometimes there's nothing we can do to stop them." Tyreese told him, Damon shook his head.
"I don't care about any of that, I just wanna know why you left us. I mean, were we not good enough?" Damon asked, Tyreese shook his head.
"Nothing like that Damon, I promise. You and your mom mean everything to me. I just was really messed up after what I did. I needed to put myself back together, evaluate if I deserved to have a family." Tyreese told him, Damon glared at him.
"Did you find an answer?" Damon asked, Tyreese nodded.
"I did… And I don't. I did horrible things, all in the name of peace… And I liked it. I liked doing those things, killing, stealing… I liked all of that, and a man like that doesn't deserve to have such a wonderful life." Tyreese tried to tell him. Damon just let out a sigh.
"You're telling me that you wont come back?" Damon asked, Tyreese let out a sigh.
"Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't deserve to. I need to wither away, alone. That's all I deserve." Tyreese told him. Damon shook his head.
"Listen. You recognize that you liking it is a bad thing, right? So, why cant that be good enough? Why cant you accept that your conscience still exists, you're still human. Humans make mistakes, accept that." Damon tried to reason with him, Tyreese frowned.
"It's not as simple as that."
"Well, why not? A friend of mine is like that, just focuses on simple ideals, and she's the happiest person I know." Damon told him, Tyreese just shook his head.
"I know you're trying to help Damon, but things cant work like that in the real world. I'm not coming back, regardless of what you say." Tyreese told him, Damon shook his head, and let out a sigh.
"Alright then… I thought I would at least try for mom… I don't need you anymore, I just wanted answers. I have them, and now I can walk away with a clean conscience. I tried, but it didn't work. I'm leaving, I'll tell mom you died, spare her the truth." Damon told him, before he turned marched to the door, and left the house.
Tyreese let out a sigh, and scratched his beard as the door opened once again. Vani glanced at him, closing the door behind her. Leaving the two of them in the dimly lit shack. Tyreese shook his head, glaring at the Boss's right hand, the ex assassin, raised in darkness, and fighting for balance. He knew why she was really here.
"He wants to get rid of me, doesn't he?" Tyreese asked her, though he already knew the answer. Vani was silent as she pulled a long knife from her belt, with her left hand. Golden hilt, wrapped in a black cloth. Bright blue gem for the pommel, the blade itself being black. Bianca.
"I am sorry. But, orders are orders. You simply know too much, if the enemy were to ever find you as we did… They would force answers out of you. It has to be done, and Bianca never leaves her place without a purpose. My hands are tied here." Vani explained to him, as her left hand held Bianca. Tyreese nodded.
"I get it. I haven't got much to live for anyway." Tyreese told her, she nodded and walked towards him. At the very least he got to see his son again, and the encounter went better than what he expected. He was satisfied, and could take some pride in the fact that it took the legendary assassin Vani Nambella-Calden to kill him.
-Aftermath- Virtuoso City-
"Why are we doing this again?" Emma asked, Victoria smirked.
"Don't you want her back?" Victoria asked, with a dark glint in her eye. Emma nodded several times.
"Of course I do, but I don't see how this will help… Violet doesn't care about who gave birth to her, she sees herself as Toni, and Kelsi's daughter, that's it." Emma said, Victoria shrugged, as they walked into the hospital.
"We could blackmail her. Violet hates the killing of innocents, we threaten them, and you get Violet all to yourself. Them being the people who gave birth to her is just a bonus." Victoria explained, Emma stared at her back.
"We wont actually hurt anyone right?" Emma asked, a bit uneasy by the idea, Victoria smirked.
"Of course, it's just a tactic to get you two together. No harm will come to anyone." Victoria herself smirked, she sounded so sincere. For now, that simple lie would do, Emma needed to trust her implicitly.
"Okay Victoria. Now how are we getting those files?" Emma asked her, Victoria smirked.
"Are you kidding? My family owns this hospital. They wouldn't dare keep them from me." Victoria told her, as they approached the elevators. Victoria pressed the button, and moments later the elevator doors opened, the two stepped inside.
"Hold that please!" A woman yelled, Victoria let out a sigh, and placed her hand out, making sure the elevator didn't close.
Seconds later a girl rushes inside. She was about a year or two older than them. Long, glossy brown hair, pulled into a ponytail. Bright emerald eyes, and pale skin. Dressed in light green scrubs, with a nametag that read Ashley.
"Thank you." Ashley said, Victoria just hummed, as the doors closed. Victoria pressed a button, and Ashley smiled. "That's my stop too!"
"You're rather incompetent for a nurse." Victoria told her, Ashley shrugged.
"Well, I just got this job. Plus, I really only got this job because I wanted to work, and my family owns this place." Ashley told her, Victoria glared at her.
"I don't know what you're smoking, but my family owns this place. The Bon-Velz." Victoria told her, with a smug look, Ashley smiled at her.
"Isn't that something. I'm Ashley Ariana Bon-Velz. I just recently moved to this world. We must be cousins!" Ashley exclaimed, Victoria glared at her.
"Ugh, spare me your peppy drivel." Victoria muttered bitterly, Ashley just laughed a bit.
"Oh, you're such a bitch. I think I'm gonna have fun, I kinda like arguing." Ashley told her, Victoria hummed, and looked at her, this girl could help her.
"I apologize. I'm just frustrated. I've been looking for a friends medical file, and no one will help me. She asked me to find it for her." Victoria told her, Ashley hummed.
"I can help! I'd be happy to! What's her name?" Ashley asked her, Victoria smiled at her.
"Violet Alexandria Hart." Victoria told her, Ashley's eyes lit up brightly.
"You know Violet? She's here! Oh, that's awesome! Makes my job much easier." Ashley told them, with a smile. Victoria and Emma exchanged a look, staring at Ashley.
"What's you job?" Emma asked, Ashley smiled at them.
"Violet's my little sister. Well, by blood at least. My parents were friends with her parents. Violet doesn't know yet, but my mom told me, so I decided to come here to find her." Ashley told them, Emma glared at her.
"Violet doesn't care about blood ties." Emma said matter of factly, Ashley shrugged.
"Me and Violet always used to pretend we were sisters. I'm just letting her know the truth. How do you know Violet?" Ashley asked, Emma glared at her.
"I used to date her." Emma told her, Ashley hummed, and looked at her.
"Who broke up with who?" Ashley asked, Emma shook her head.
"Not that it's any of your business but I broke up with her." Emma said, Ashley nodded.
"Did you break her heart?" Ashley asked, looking right at Emma to see if she would lie to her.
"Yeah." Emma answered, Ashley just hummed before she lashed out, grabbing Victoria's neck, and hitting a pressure point holding her finger there, preventing Victoria from moving. Ashley then grabbed Emma by the throat and held her up, with an iron grip, and an angry glare.
"I promised Violet I would always protect her, as if I were her big sister. That was before I knew we actually were sisters. My devotion has only grown stronger. You hurt my little sister. Do it again, and I will hurt you." Ashley told her, before dropping Emma, and releasing her grip on Victoria's pressure point.
"Fuck you!" Victoria yelled, aiming a punch at Ashley's face. Ashley just glared at her, as Victoria's fist connected with her face. Ashley didn't move, or show any sign of the attack affecting her.
"Are you done?" Ashley asked once Victoria pulled her fist away in shock. That actually hurt her hand more than it hurt Ashley. The elevator door opened and Ashley walked out, turning back to glare at Emma and Ashley.
"Don't hurt Violet, or else." Ashley warned them, before walking down the hall, away from the as the elevator doors closed. Emma and Victoria just exchanged a look before Victoria pressed the button to return to the ground floor. They knew who Violet's blood relative's were. Though it made Victoria angry that Violet, and Ashley were her cousins.
-Aftermath-
Well, there it was guys. Been waiting to reveal that little piece of information. I didnt plan on having Ashley be apart of this until recently actually, she just kinda perfectly fit into a space, so there she is. Next chapter Violet should get back, and a few things are going to happen, Jesse's arc is going to happen, and Violet's going to be learning a few things, about herself, and others. See you guys then!
