Skull
I woke up due to explosions and bullets raining down on the mansion. I was now aware and alert on what was happening. Grabbing my dual pistols under my pillow, I immediately left my bed and opened a panel which laid my sniper rifle. I put the sniper rifle on my back and hurriedly went to my bedside table to get my fingerless gloves.

I closed the panel and went to knock the complicated code on the floor beside the door, and a new closet came. It was filled with vests, magazines, scopes and others galore. I picked an obsidian black and mauve purple bulletproof vest and some extra magazines. I removed my sweater quickly and put on the bulletproof vest.

I picked a belt which was sable black with pouches for magazines. I then put my dual pistols in their respective places. I swiftly put it on and then stored the magazines that I had picked. I then put on my sweater and then closed the closet door. The closet had withdrew into the floor. I then wore my military boots which were an obsidian black in color.

There was different shades of purple glowing liquid on the body and handle of the sniper rifle, which you can't rub off while the rest was ebony black. While my dual pistols were amethyst purple on the handle and barrel while the other parts were a silver white shade. It also has my initials on both sides of the barrel.

My fingerless gloves was a crow black that had mauve purple outlines. I slip them on and went out of my bedroom, I was not too keen that it wasn't locked. I had sprinted to a vantage point where I could snipe. But before I settled, I scouted for more vantage points so that I could move easily towards it.

Settling down, I placed my sniper rifle and looked into the scope. Once finding an invading mafia famiglia member, I slowly breathed through my mouth and the shot him in the head. I picked up my sniper rifle and slung it on my back and ran to another vantage point. It was really useful that I had more stamina than the average person.

This routine repeated endlessly as I shot them in the head, looked for another vantage point, and settled. I was getting tired of the routine that I decided to be at the front using my dual pistols.

Slinging the sniper rifle on my back I immediately parkoured my way onto the battlefield where most of the famiglia members were fighting against the Arcobaleno. I grabbed my dual pistols and then pulled the trigger. The bullet fired and was slammed into the invading famiglia member's forehead.

The one who was shot immediately collapsed while I directed my attention to the multiple mafiosi. I immediately shot them in the head, moving my hands in different directions.

I was then suddenly rained of bullets. Realizing that my other pistol was running out of bullets, I ran and then somersaulted with no hands which was occupied to get the magazines that was stored in the pouches. I quickly removed the magazine that was in my pistol and replaced it with the other full magazine. I then knelt and shot the mafiosi in the head.

I then stood up and proceeded to aim my pistols dead center of their forehead and pulled the triggers. There were some armed drones shooting at me. I shot multiple of them while I somersaulted and rolled on the ground.

I swiftly got up and shot every single member of the invading famiglia, until there was one left. Of course, there was blood splattered all over my body, but I didn't care. The last one left was the head of the famiglia, I presume. I slowly walked up to him, while he was cowering in fear.

I scoffed in my head. How would you lead a famiglia when you were this afraid. I felt my lips curl into a sinister smile as I went towards him. I stopped in front of him and leaned into his left ear.

"You messed with the wrong famiglia, Evan Piovra, Head of the Piovra Famiglia." I sinisterly whispered into his ear as I lifted my left hand silently. I then impulsed a whole lot of cloud flames to propagate the sound waves that will make him unconscious.

I slowly withdraw my head and looked at him dead in the eyes. I saw fear, alarm, panic, and some emotions while I snapped my fingers. I smirked as the sound waves had made him unconscious. His body then limped onto the ground, which made my left eye twitch slightly. I just sighed as the invasion was already over.

Then multiple people had made their presence appear and I then groaned. I forgot that they were here. I turned around and I saw the others. Reborn was flawless as always, Fon too. Mammon was slightly out of breath, as they were breathing heavily. The COMSUBIN duo, Lal Mirch and Colonello, were scathed but they were mostly okay. Verde was nowhere to be found, but that was predictable as he wasn't a fighter.

3rd Person
The invasion was now over as the mysterious man had put the head of the Piovra Famiglia into unconsciousness. The man sighed as he forgot that the Arcobaleno were with him, which means that they have witnessed the man's battle instincts. The Arcobaleno made their presence known to him, which made the man groan.

The man turned and saw the others. Although they were watching him, it didn't mean that they had really inspected the man's looks, which they didn't know it was Skull.

The man has snow white hair. Tattoos were on his neck, fingers and forearm. The most visible tattoos was on his neck which was a floral design and the tattoo on his fingers spelled 'IRIS', while the tattoo on his forearm was slightly hidden because of his long sleeves. The man had beautiful steel grey eyes that can suck you into a trance with thick, long eyelashes. There was a tint of red under the man's narrowed eyes. The man also wore gold rimmed eyeglasses which was sunglasses at the moment. The man wore a plain raven black sweater, a pair of midnight black ripped jeans, and obsidian military boots. There was also splattered blood on him but he didn't seem to bother. His height was about 6'3 and his skin tone was pale and milky.

They were about to question him (read: interrogate), when they felt a familiar cloud flame signature. It was the only strongest cloud's signature, Skull's.

"Skull/Lackey!?" The Arcobaleno said simultaneously as the man, now identified as Skull, slightly winced at the volume of the exclamation.

"I can... explain?" Skull said as the Arcobaleno dragged him (read: Reborn and Fon), while Mammon teleported the unconscious head of the Piovra Famiglia into the mansion's dungeons.

3rd Person
Reborn and Fon threw him on the couch as the rest of the Arcobaleno filled out the living room and went to their desired places. Fon was sitting on his right while Reborn was on the left, Colonello sat on the left single couch, Lal Mirch on the right, Verde was in front of him and Mammon opted for just standing (read: floating). They were staring at him so intensely that it made him fidget, playing with his fingers and not looking at them.

"Skull?" Fon said as serenely as possible without getting a hint of curiosity and seriousness seeping in his voice.

"Yeah?" Skull said with his husky deep voice that echoed in the silent room while combing back his snow white hair with his hand, forgetting the blood stains on his body. Some of them shivered at the tone that was produced from his pretty rogue pink lips, while others were fantasizing what kinds of tones they can make from his pretty plump lips. Of course, the blood stains on his body did bother them slightly, but not so much as they had been in that situation where you couldn't care less about appearances or blood getting on your clothes and body.

"Ho- How did you know how to do those tricks with guns, kora!?" Colonello said, the ever so impatient and excited one. Skull was not sure on how did he get his enthusiasm while he was in the COMSUBIN, but it was damn well entertaining to say the least.

Skull chuckled deeply, as another wave of shivers went through their spines. It wasn't the kind of shiver that was out of fear. No, it was out of pleasure. Skull, as observant as ever, had known that all of them had a form of some kind of love. Be it admiration, romantic, inspiration, etc. but it was mostly focused on the romantic side with the exception of Yuni who had considered Skull an older brother she never had. Of course, the snow white haired man had his fair share of relationships, be it out of love or sexual purposes, he had them. But the feeling of having romantic feelings for multiple people was a new discovery for him.

"Oh? Guns were a passion of mine back in the days. I learnt how to disassemble and assemble all kinds of firearms in under 10 seconds. Fastest record of mine was 6 seconds, it was on a pistol I believe? Ah, I'm getting off track. The tricks I had learned were something akin to instincts as I had honed those tricks since my fascination of firearms has started. Though some of the tricks were slightly altered of famous tricks from famous hitmen and women alike to suit my style and needs." Skull recalled as he waved his hands to form gestures that some of the Arcobaleno had taken notice, but decided to put it in the back of their minds for later questioning.

Unconsciously, Skull smiled a soft smile which the others took notice, but was immediately wiped off as he remembered a particular memory, which contorted his face in pure disgust and hatred.

"Skull, are you okay?" Fon worriedly said as a little bit of killing intent was going off of him.

"Oh? Sorry, I'm fine. Just remembered something I had left unfinished." Skull had said with so much hatred and disgust that some of them had been left dumbfounded while others were curious as to what was left unfinished by him.

"Do you need to finish it now?" Lal Mirch had grumbled as she looked at Skull's new- original form. There was something akin to hurt that had resonated slightly in her entire being. Of course, she had a right to be hurt because she had thought that Skull had trusted them to know his full being. Then, she had suddenly thought that she didn't know Skull anymore. What was Skull's age, birthday, religion, likes, dislikes, etc?

"Not at the moment, no. Maybe as soon as I can go to finish it." Skull had said sinisterly at the end, with a sadistic smirk.

"Well then, let's start with the basics." Reborn suddenly piped in after his observation with the new- no, original Skull.

"Oh? What are the basics, muu" Mammon said as he looked at Reborn, quite curious at what he was implying, but the expression was hidden under the cloak of his.

"What is your age, Skull?" Reborn said as he looked at Skull, eyeing him with curious eyes.

"Oh? That was the basics you were speaking of? Well then, I'm 25. But I am immortal, so I can age slide between let's say 20-50." Skull said it so nonchalantly that they almost ignored the part that he was immortal.

All of them were taken aback. They knew that Skull's title was 'The Immortal Stuntman', but they didn't know that the immortal part was true.

Verde stared intently at Skull's eyes, and saw the tiredness -whyamialive?pleaseletmedie.i'mtired.- and overwhelming pain in his eyes.

And then Verde had suddenly realized, that Skull had hid this kind of person underneath multiple layers of façades, making sure nobody will see what kind of person he was. Hiding every emotion -sadness,pain,exHaUsTiOn- that it would hurt the people he considered his family.

He hid all of this behind a façade that was so real, that nobody was able to notice that he was working behind the scenes, in the shadows.

Verde then looked at Skull's posture. A faux relaxed slouch, but ready to react and pounce at the potential danger. Something a veteran at killing has adopt to become a habit.

Verde got out of his temporary trance and opened his mouth to question on what he has gone through, but someone questioned him another thing.

"What is your real name, Skull?" Reborn asked with hidden curiosity in his tone.

"Ah... It has been so long that I forgot it. But, I have my official documents that is modernized, so that you could easily read it. I have another copy on my laptop, let me go get it." Skull said with exhaustion tinted in his voice. He ruffled his snow white hair and stood up from the couch he was sitting on.

"We're going with you, if you are comfortable with it Skull." Fon said serenely with hidden concern. Skull had detected it, so he chuckled deeply.

"It is fine, Fon. You guys are my family now, and I trust you guys even though I don't usually act like it." Skull said with fondness and amusement that was seen on his face and heard from his voice.

"Well then, let's go to my room and get my laptop." Skull said as he walked to the direction of his room, with the others trailing behind him while he was leading the way.
