"They took 11?!"

When 5 told the others about 11 being kidnapped by the pair who came and attacked them out of the blue. He thought he changed after fabric machine. He was the same crowd as before. Nothing changed after that event. He was still the same as before.

"I have to go after her."

9 look at his friend and stop him from leaving them before he did anything risky. He tell from his eye that he couldn't live in a world with 11 in it. He couldn't blame him, his feelings towards her were strong. 9 knew he would get killed before he can save her.

"9, let me go…"

"Then I'll go."

Everyone look at 1 when said those words. "Are you crazy?! You'll be killed as wel-"

"7!" 9 understood what he was thinking as well. 9 wanted to save her as well, she help him fight the fabric machine and he freed her family. This was the least he can do for her.

"I'll go with you two as well."

11 was whimper inside of the cage. Her body felt cold, she held on to her necklce, praying that someone would save her. She never felt this scared before in her life, not like the time when the nightmare of her family and friends being killed in front of her, over and over again till she open her eyes.

"So, now you know that 1 is your father, how is he as a father figure?"

11 look up to find 30 next her outside of her cage. He grab her by the neck chocking her till she could speak. He throw her to the ground till her arm was broken. She gave him a glare till 90 was inside of the cage as well.

"Don't hurt her too much."

9 and 7 were ready to leave, 5 wanted to say good bye to his daughter before he left her alone with the others who were staying behind. 1 was going without 8, he wanted to fight for his daughter's freedom if that means. He was feeling something inside of him, it was hurting him till his soul was hurting him as well.

"1? Are you sure you'll be fine?"

2 notice the pain 1 was in. After 5 was wake, he was feeling something moving inside of him. 2 was beginning to worry for his brother, 1 looked like he was in too much pain for him to take in.

"I'm fine 2, it nothing."

After 5 said goodbye to his daughter, 6 suddenly started to draw on the wooden floor again. 3 and 4 tried to stop, but was yelling something different then last time.

"The darkness will kill her!! It will kill her!! It needs to be remove!! The darkness needs to be remove now!"

Everyone was confused what 6 was saying. This darkness was confusing them the most. They wanted to know why this darkness needs to be remove. 5 look back at 1, he was in pain for some odd reason. He went over to him and help him, his body look like it was about to give in.

"Thank you 5..."

He smiled at his father in law when they reach the outside of the emptiness. 6 raced after before they left and walk up to 5 and 1. "5, please remove it from him now, he'll part of it before-"

Yin and Yang stop 6 before he hurt himself. 5 was confused a little. What did he mean remove it from 1 now? But, what was worrying him, when he said he'll be apart of it? Be apart of what? 5 was beginning to worry for his little brother figure, he was up set about something that frighten him.

When they small group look at a map 5 brought with him. The wasteland was out of the question. 90 and 80 didn't look like they weren't experience out there, they must be living inside of the emptiness somewhere. 5 was shaking when he thought about his wife. He didn't want to think of the thing they could doing to her.

5's mind was at a blank when felt 9's hand against his shoulder. "We'll find her." He wanted to believe those words were true. This time felt they weren't true.

"Where could they have taken her?"

7 thought about it for a meme moment, something pop inside of her thoughts. They didn't care about they or taking Little 16. Why would they take 11? 7 thought about where they would take her.

"Wait?! Could possible taken her to where 10 died?!"

7 pointed where the fabric machine was awaken, where the truth was beginning to unfold itself to the world.

"Why would they take her there?" 5 ask her in uneven voice.

1 was wondering about that as well. It was also the same place where other of their kind were killed. Even 12 was killed by that thing.

"It would be a good start to look."

1 suddenly fall to the ground in a weak state, 5 help him up back on to his feet. He wonder if 6 was telling him something was wrong with 1? He was in pain, he was putting too much of his own energy just to move.

"1, if you need to rest, tell us."

"I'm fine 5. We need to keep moving."

When the four made it to the ruins of fabric machine's cave, the place was half burned to the ground, it was standing only half way, 5 and 1 hope 11 was safe at least. But, 1 was worried the most, he was scared to lose his daughter again. He didn't want to believe she was died again, he didn't want the memories of his regrets to return. 5 heard a yell coming from the inside, he knew it was 11's voice. 5 started to run inside without thinking about the other.

"5!"

9, 7 and 1 followed after him. 9 stop him from being caught by the enemy before thinking of a plan to save 11.

"5, stop!"

"9! I have to save her!"

"I know, but running in there isn't going to help her."

5 was clam down a little, but he was still scared of what could have happen to 11. He could hear her yelling in pain. He didn't want to think of what those two were doing to her. She was so small when held her, she was strong, but, he couldn't stand around and see his love get hurt.

11 was beaten up to the point where she could stand. She was beaten before by 8 years ago, but this was different, she was limping when she try to get up. Her fabric was torn a little, her hands were about to fall apart while her legs were about to snap in two. She lay on the ground at 90's feet. He gave her another kick to her side sending her to the other side.

"Wow, I was hoping for you to fight back. Guess nightmares and dreams are your-"

"That enough 90."

80 stop his fun once, before 90 was could finish, he punch 11's face before he left the cage. She could hear him laughing before she fall into darkness. She hoped 5 was coming for her, she wanted her father and mother with her, she wanted her brother as well. She could feel a little bit of her soul fading from her body. She was hopeless now, no one was coming for her from this hell.

"Come on 30, we've been waiting for 1 to come for awhile now. How come it has to be him of-"

30 gave him a smirk when asked half of his question. 30 walk passed him and walk upon to the unconscious 11. He notice her necklace with 1's number and 12's printed upon the coin.

"1 and I are a lot of alike. We're both leaders, but 1 isn't a leader as he think he is."

80 and 90 were confused what 30 was trying to say to them. 30 continue to give them his little evil smirk when sat upon a thorn made from the fabric machine's parts.

"When I ask you to place that talisman inside 1, it was going to make him weak. When that finish, I'll have him in my grasps for sure."90 and 80 couldn't help but smile at his plan. 30 was pleased with his plan as well, once he had 1, there was more to this plan when had 1.

1 was beginning to lose his strength to move, his soul was hurting him worst then it was before. He tried to pull all his strength together, but, his body was giving in out of the blue.

"1, what wrong?"

9 came up to the leader and notice his soul was glowing differently. It was turning into a dark purple then green. 5 took a look and notice a talisman inside imprinted with strange marks, it was connected to 1's body.

"1, this is darkness 6 was talking about?"

1 saw it as well, he could feel his soul fading, being replaced with a different soul. A soul with an energy that could kill him without a second thought. "I can ke-"

7 stop 1 from getting up, she could see this pain was hurting him as well. She wanted to stop him from coming. She never see him like this before in her life time. 1 look at her and notice the worry in her eyes. 7 noticed 5 was gone when she turn her head to see him.

"5! Wait!"

5 slid down into the room, he look around if he could find 11. He notice a bird cage, he look inside and saw 11 laying there half dead. 5 climb up to the cage, when he reach the cage he saw his love beaten death till her body was broken.

"No…"

5 looked away from this sight, till he hear a small whimper. He place a hand against her check, she was alive. 11 open her eyes and saw 5 next to her.

"5..."

"Don't worry…we're here to save you…"

11 smiled weakly, she was happy that 5 was here with her. She wanted to wake up next to 5 when her nightmares frighten her. 9 came up and saw 11's condition. She was in worst shape then 1 was.

"We have to get her to 2 and 72."

9 saw the cage door wide-open. He thought this was a trap, he felt this was too easy for a rescue mission. He look around the area to find 90 and 80. There was no sign of them. 5 followed him in the cage and ran over to 11's side.

"You'll be fine 11..."

He told her when he pick her up. She fall asleep in his arms, she was happy he was warm. She loved that about him, his soul was warmer then anyone's soul.
