Chapter 1 Two Years Ago
"Ladies and gentlemen thank you for coming to the fourth annual Winter Concerto in Corsica, France and the exhibition of the Maharaja diamond." A man in a suit and red hair said with a strong French accent said as he stood on a podium next to another French conductor," The final act will be performed by the infamous Monsieur Vladmir Oriane - Orchestra Director and noble in France. He will be conducting his Orchestra Cap-Vert who has won many titles. They will be playing Divertimento number 2 and Symphony number 41. Lastly his niece will be leading the evening, Miss Adelle Oriane." the master of ceremonies announced in a calm tone to the thousands of people that were packed like Remoraid in the auditorium.
Vladmir Oraine nodded and gave the signal for them to start. The lights dimmed and a spotlight shone on the girl in front of everyone, audience and orchestra. The girl brushed her dark brown coloured hair; it was straight and fell to her mid back with side bangs; lifted the violin with her hands and began to play before everyone, one of the most complicated pieces of Mozart pieces of music.
The crowd clapped soundly as she took a short reprieve and as the rest of her band joined her. She wore a black and white horizontally striped t-shirt style dress. Her pants were black skinny jeans and her shoes are red converse sneakers. Around her waist on top of her dress, she wore a loosely tied red belt. In the crowd were a few people that didn't belong there and were more interested in the girl than the music, not because of her modestly curved body, but rather because she was not your ordinary girl.
Half way to the back of the crowd was another girl, her physical features were hidden, but her ominous, olive green eyes glowed through the darkness. She sat silently drinking water, her intention was not to enjoy but to investigate a weakness and maybe gain a new accessory. The woman was known to the Agency as Silvy, a deadly and power young lady. Her signature was the whip lashes strewn across the bodies of their faces.
He suddenly got up to reveal her long and lean body, built for claiming, and the whip on her side, as she walked down a few hallways and up a flight of elaborate stairs unsheathing her whip as she passed behind a security guard. She was silent and sure as if she had done this before. She tied up her shoulder length chestnut brown hair and tucked it under her blue beret like hat with silver poke ball pin on the side as she lashed her whip to the top of a flight of stairs and lifted herself with ease to the top.
The new room that she was in was all golden and candlelit. There were golden lion statures besides a doorway that had a large and overly complicated safe lock. She walked over the white marble floor and removed the white scarf from under the black jacket that was covering over a blue t-shirt with a silver poke ball pattern on it. She laid the scarf down gently down and rolled it out revealing its contents.
There were pins and lock picks and she picked up the biggest pick that had a vile of green liquid and inspected it carefully to make very sure that nothing was missing, the item looked like a syringe. She pressed it against the lock and broke the vile, spilling the contents on the lock and making sure to get nothing on herself. The green liquid ate through the golden latch and as she pushed to ease the door open.
There was lasers covering the next room and they were not the alarm type, which is what Silvy had discovered as she burnt the underside of her foot when she nearly got most of it removed. Taking a deep breath, she prepared herself to use her acrobatic skills to make her way to the other end of the room.
She made it with excellent skill to the glass stand in the centre of the room that held a diamond the size of her knuckles. Slightly puzzled for a second on why such a small item was this protected, but just shrugged and used the last few drops on the glass screen that was made to protect the valuable item and gently lifted the rock and chain that was attached to it and replaced it with a lock pick and key ring. Half of her work was done; it was now time to leave.

The music that echoed through the halls was interrupted by an explosion; screaming shortly ensued. People were running in all directions as the girl on stage just continued playing alone as her orchestra and uncle left her screaming as if they were being sawn in half with a knife. Bloody murder was the game and the music was silenced by a few more explosions and flying bodies, but Adelle didn't move a step or stop playing in front of the ten meter high stein glass, even when an arm fell at her feet still twitching.
An average height, built and weight pubescent sixteen years old, was walking through the flames from one of the restroom tunnels and towards the stage with his arms alit with fire. His red hair sparkled under the red flame embled hat as he climbed the steps of the stage, his brown eyes ablaze with rigours fury. Let s just say the they had met beforehand.
"You have been commissioned to be captured by me." He shouted as the flames that were on his red jacket eased into his fists as a white smoke creating a white heat. He tossed a fireball at Adelle. "Any last words?" He smirked now examining her body as she bent over and lifted a cloak stepping over his fireball.
"Just one." She said as she turned to the stein glass, hooded the cloak and raised her arms to the moon," Awaken!" She smiled and turned back to facing the flaming menace," I think that it is time that you meet my little helpers my fire hearty friend." Now ushering the shade as if calling a baby to walk towards its parent.
"What are you doing?" He asked scratching his head creating sparks. From the shadows came dogs as dark as night and with a single pointed finger they rushed towards the confused flaming teen. The first one rushed into his stomach and rammed his gut knocking him to his knees. Angrily he grabbed one and through it onto another then tossed the next onto a balcony booth.
The shadow hounds moved reasonably fast with a dark mist under their feet enabling them to walk on the air, they had glowing red eyes and large sharp teeth and talons. Steadily getting more aggressive and more temperamental to anger; he rushed past the endless supply of shadow hounds and squashed on a few of them as he tried getting closer larger and more powerful hounds pulled him back.
"Argh! Stop biting me!" He bellowed as he released a great heat energy and a brilliant white light blowing them back and stopping a few of the bigger ones in their tracks, but the newer ones were only slowed down. He blasted great heat from his palms and lifted himself over most of them, blasting more fire at them.
Although hovering, he couldn't see Adelle until he saw that in the darkness were her eyes, that almond shaped and a bright red -brown colour, reminding you of blood. They pierce into your eyes and give you nightmares, as well as uncover your deepest secrets; he knew them well as he studied the target image that they had given him.
"Found you my little devil." He said smirking. He shot down with great speed and headfirst bolted to where he could see her eyes. "Here's Jaden!" He said dramatically before he hit her, well not her but the marble floor.
"You little! Argh, where's my partner, what s his name again? Abaker or something." Tyler said as he sat and rubbed his bruised head.
"You can never touch me when I'm in the shadows, you can never accomplish that ha! You should be honoured being in the presence of The Goddess of Judgment and Destruction!" She laughed maniacally as she left the darkness and sat on a chair made of a dark energy that held a scythe next to it on a holster.
"Well that is not true, now is it Scythe?" A male voice said from behind the shadows. "I think that we did allot more than touch in those shadows now didn't we?" Two figures came from the darkness. The first was just a giant brick of muscle; he wore plain straight cut black jeans with a blue t shirt covering it, clearly not wanting to play around.
The second was the one that spoke and was not nearly the size of the first or as intimidating, but his image seemed to rile up Scythe's emotions as she angrily glared at him. He casually pulled out a comb and flicked it open as he brushed his overly gelled black hair to the back and returned the comb. He then took three fingers and created a new fringe for his new hair style by curling them around.
Adelle didn't waist time with talking and tossed the scythe at the second ones head. "Hugh will you please stop that?" the smaller one asked putting his fingers into his pockets and casually ignoring the spinning blade headed for his forehead. Hugh stretched open a hand and created a ball of wind and through it at the scythe, slowing it down enough to catch it, but when it reached his hand then it dematerialised and returned to its original form still headed for the smaller one. Hugh quickly grabbed the newer one and before it disappeared, tossed it back.
Scythe didn't seem too worried as the scythe disappeared," Can't we talk about this?" The second one asked with a giving smile.

Now that the thief had gotten what she wanted, she made her way back to the auditorium and hopefully would be able to catch the last part of the showing. She started wondering where the security was but brushed it off as laziness. Skipping down the hallways she finally got back to the hall and saw thousands of pitch black scythes with smoke tails flying to a pair of men on the other side, she recognised the big one as Hugh Windfall; a man that knows how to take out the 'trash' that nearly caught her when she wanted the Taboo Stone, sadly that was one of her failed operations, but the other she couldn't recognise, his glowing bright green eyes were deathly familiar, but now wasn't the time to reminisce over anything, but rather to dodge the scythes that were deflecting off of Hugh's air shield.
Hiding in a corner on one of the higher balconies, she had met a problem that was slightly bigger than her; it was a shadow hound and sadly, she didn't have any amazing abilities like those downstairs, all she had left was her whip.

In the entrance hall was Abaker, a radio personality famous for his humour. He walked over the scarlet carpet and held his palm over the control panel and told it to open the door with his gruff voice. It did as ordered and allowed access for him.
Abaker's full name was Abraham Parker; he tends to get shortened to 'Abe' a lot. His radio name is 'Abaker' and he'll sometimes call himself that. He was pale skinned, short black hair, green eyes and short. Wears a black turtleneck, light blue jeans with a ton of pockets, steel tipped boots and a rocket launcher, he didn't look to happy, not happy at all.
He passed a few civilians that were unable to escape, but because of his entrance they ran out with fear and glee to escape past him and his body length friend. He walked across the hallway that the thief had used moments ago and into the auditorium. He crouched down and took aim at the one standing next to Hugh and took the shot.
As the dust settled Hugh was lying unconscious and the teen that was next to him was on the receiving end of a rocket powered enema. Pain couldn't explain the sticky situation that he was in. Abaker was checking his watch and counted down before the rocket blew up.
"You killed him! I'll kill you!" Scythe shouted as she disappeared to the shadows and appeared behind Abaker, granting him an enema with a scythe tip.
A/N I thought it would be best to end it here, so did you like it? R&R and tell me if I portrayed it well. Remember OC's still wanted! I need someone to give me a name for the larger Shadow Hound, because I can t think of a single name... Sigh... Oh and if you are a soccer watcher then please give your guess to what Cap-Vert means and what language it is written in.
