Chapter 4
Betrayal
The scene opened up showing Mariah being carried by a shadowy man like figure, zipping through alley ways and streets.

"Where are you taking me?! I have no money!" Mariah yelled out.

A few moments pass the man ran into an abandoned looking building and say Mariah down.

"What are you doing?! Help!" Mariah started to yell for help, only to hear her echo.

The lights in the building shot on, Mariah slightly blinded by the light looks up to see a older looking man sitting on a throne in front of her. He held a giant spear by his side and wore huge heavy armor, he looks like a human tank basically.

"Who are you people?" Mariah asked, frightened by the old mans appearance.

The man that brought Mariah to the location stepped away and beside the old man.

"You can call us "the authority"" The man said as he smirked slightly.
"Authority? What kind of authority kidnaps girls when they aren't paying attention?!" Mariah then lashed out in anger.

Footsteps were heard as another man stepped up on the left side of the old man on the throne. He had blonde hair and a scar under his left eye. He too was wearing armor and wielded a sword on his side.

"Lumi?" The man on the right asked as the blonde male stepped up.
"Hm?" Lumi asked, not taking his eyes off of Mariah.
"What are you doing here? You left your post." The man on the right asked, slightly angered.

The old man in the middle growled as he smashed his spear into the ground to silence the two.

"Lumi, I will have a word with you in a minute. Shuga, shut the fuck up. It's my job to interrogate people." The old man said with an angered look.
"Yes sir, master Akuma." Shuga said with slight fear in his tone.

Mariah stayed silent, still questioning why she is here.

The scene switched to Noah hopping from building to building.

"Come on, Mariah where did you go..?" He asked himself as he began to speed up.
"Noah!" Rao yelled out as he jumped straight up through the roof in front of Noah.

Noah slid and stopped before running into Rao.

"What the hell?!" Noah yelled out.
"Mariah! I know where she is!" Rao yelled as he turned and began to run.
"Where?! Hey wait up!" Noah yelled as he followed behind.

The scene switched back to Mariah in a cell, Shuga was standing in front of the cell laughing.

"Poor helpless bitch.." He said softly, laughing to himself.
"When my friends get here! You'll get yours!" Mariah yelled out in anger, tears falling from her face.
"Your friends aren't getting anywhere near here!" Shuga yelled out.
"Yes they will! Rao will help them!" Mariah lashed back.

Shuga began to laugh harder at the words.

"Rao? HA! That's funny, because last time I checked Rao.. Was my brother.." He said with a smirk on his face.
"What..?" Mariah asked.

The scene switched to Rao and Noah, Rao stopped at an open area, thunder clashed I the air as rain began to slowly fall.

"Where are we, Rao?! Where's Mariah?!" Noah yelled out, impatient.
"Hm. Mariah isn't here, Noah.." Rao said with a smirk.
"What do you mean? Where are we?!" Noah began to glare as he yelled.
"This is your burial ground.." Rao said as he dashed towards Noah at intense speeds.

The scene then darkened.
