This is my first fan fic ever written, so review with constructive criticism. FYI, constructive criticism is when you tell the person what they are doing wrong and how to fix it; not just telling a person that they suck and have make a bunch of mistakes.

DotHack: Reality ch. 13 By: TsukasaTheFominian
Tsukasa was not able to sleep for the rest of the night because of the multiple revelations which had been presented to him earlier. His dream, the upcoming trial, and Sora's homosexual relationship with Crim had all weighed heavily on his mind. During the night, Tsukasa had tried not to think about the conversation he had heard between the two adults, but his mind kept drifting back to it. He had finally decided that since he wasn't gay that he didn't need to feel threatened by either men. One fear he had was that either man would force try to force himself on his body, but decided that was equally unlikely since Sora seemed to only have eyes for Crim, and Crim had had many opportunities to try something, but had only touched him as he would a friend or even as a soldier.
With those worries finally out of his mind, he was finally able to focus on more important problems, such as the trial and his own mind. Tsukasa only thought on the trial for a half hour before finally realizing that there was nothing he could do except wait. He couldn't do anything besides wait because of the anti-magic spells within the prison systems, so he thought of his dream of the ancient Wave Master Herald.
He knew in his soul that the man had been Herald, and knew the dream he'd had was no dream, but a vision of the past. What Tsukasa didn't know, and which was more important, was what Herald was talking to, and what Herald's wish had been. The old man's last words, the entire dream he had, rang clear in his mind and he could remember everything with ease, "awaken my child and put an end to Her nightmare." Even his wish was straight forward, he still didn't know how, when, or where to accomplish the act. 'Who should I awaken, how do I awaken her, where is she, what does she looked like, when will I get my chance.' The questions seemed endless and the boy didn't know where to begin. The only thing that he could think of was that he desperately needed more information and only had until noon to get that information and escape from the wrath of the Administrators.
'In other words' he thought, 'I'm screwed.'
The others slept until around ten in the morning, all of them waking up uneventfully, and nobody was able to come up with any sort of a plan before then. Nobody had any of their weapons, magic was out of the question, and the older trio of Sora, Balmung, and Ouka had heard nothing from Helba.
Kite was the only one to see any sort of bright side on their situation. "At least Black Rose and Mimiru should be ok."
"Why would we be ok?"
"The only thing you've done wrong was challenge the Cerulean Knights, and they have no jurisdiction here so you two shouldn't really be in jail."
"I agree with Kite on that one." Answered Subaru as she entered the chamber. "You two should never have been thrown in jail. You two will be released."
"And the rest of us?" Asked Ouka.
"As much as I regret it, there is nothing I can do for the rest of you. Everyone else still is still an Illegal of some type, and the administrators will not let that slide for anything."
"Even if two of us may be the only thing that can save this world?" Her brother asks.
The answer to that question came from Crim. "For some reason the Administrators fear the specially gifted more than anything else in this world. It isn't just that they fear being overthrown, they seemed the be afraid of the power they hold for completely different reasons. Nothing persuades them from their death, even if it's their own children."
Color drained from the teen's faces when faced with that reality. Mimiru was the first to recover from that shock and asked shakily, "They've really killed their own children?"
"I've only seen it once, when I first joined the Knights. I brought the child to his trial with the administrators, only for him to look at one of them and start screaming, 'Daddy! Daddy!'. The administrator didn't even blink or falter when they sentenced him to death."
The group could only shiver as they processed that knowledge. The knowledge that they were dealing with people who would kill their own children if needed. It didn't bode well for the group.
It didn't take long for the group to be taken before the Admin. Their trial came earlier then expected, antd didn't last long. The place they were taken was an auditorium like room, the seats were empty except for a few Admin judges which awaited. The room had very powerful seals on it, making the use of magic or Gating powers impossible.
The head judge, a man named Lios, allowed the condemned to speak, but acted like they were simply wasting his time. Mimiru was only able to swallow this treatment for a little bit before she had an outburst.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" She let all of the anger she'd been feeling out. "Balmung was protecting Lady Subaru, as was Tsukasa, and Kite stopped the onslaught of that weird, unstoppable monster! How can you just act like there's nothing wrong with killing them?"
Lios only scowled at the girl's defiant behavior. "Because it's my job. A little girl like you would never understand." Lios waved for silence from the crowd of convicts. "I have reached a decision." Everyone waited for an answer. "All of the present detained criminals will be executed."
The roar of complaints from the group seemed overwhelming. Subaru herself stepped forward to try and reason with the man. "Sir, as much as I must accept your decision, I do believe you are taking this a little too far. Especially for the two young girls here, Mimiru and Black Rose. They have done nothing wrong except try to defend their friends."
"My will is final in this Subaru. They will be executed along with the criminals they tried to protect."
Tsukasa could only think of how to get out alive. He wanted to at least get Mimiru and the others out. They had done nothing wrong, and were only guilty of just being themselves. The only thing he could do was look into himself, and try to find something that could help them all. Then he found it, the power that had saved them before. The power which he hoped would save them now. He tapped into it, and lost himself to the Twilight.
"You Administrators are all fools." The words were coming out of Tsukasa's mouth, but it didn't seem like it was the boy himself. He sounded older, different. Crim didn't know what was going on, but he knew that the young teen hardly ever talked, never made speeches, and never sounded like this. "Do you not realize?"
"We don't need to explain ourselves to a child like you." An administrator on Lios's left said.
"I guess you don't." Whoever was talking, it sounded like he was saddened by the Admin's stupidity. "Listen well guides of this world, killing the gifted will not stop the return of the Cursed Wave, for it was never really destroyed." The Admin seemed shocked by the words of the teenage boy.
Subaru looked confused. "What do you mean?"
"That is the only reason these fools continuously kill those who are different. The original Abominable Wave was created by someone with special powers. These Admin believed the Wave was destroyed long ago, and that killing those with strange abilities will keep it from returning."
"How do you know about that? Nobody outside the Administers are suppose to know that."
Tsukasa just ignored Lios's question and formed a sphere of Rainbow light in his hands. When the ball took form, Kite's Bracelet began to react. "I can not allow you to destroy His hope. The Wave still exists and these people hold the key to stopping it." Tsukasa threw the ball up into the air where it exploded and made something that looked like a net become visible.
"Kite." The Wave Master was looking directly at the young Twin Blade. "That is the spell which is sealing your warp abilities and magic. Use your bracelet to drain it's power and destroy it."
"Somebody stop them!" Leos was adamant about their capture.
Unfortunately, not everyone with weapons there was on the Admin's side. Crim used his spear to cut through the restraints binding the group, freeing the Warriors to help defend everyone. For people like Ouka, her fists were more then enough to stop some of the guards in the room.
"Crim! Do you really thing you can betray us so easily?" The Admins all looked like they wanted to murder the Knight Leader.
"My vow was to this world and its people. Not to a bunch of stupid old men trying to kill those people for no reason."
"Mine as well" Subaru stepped forward. "I will not let you kill any more innocent people."
Sora was the next to speak, but not to the Admins. "Kite! Do it now!"
The Bracelet Bearer didn't really know how his weapon worked, but something inside told him what to do. He raided his arm up toward the web and activated the power of his bracelet. Everyone froze as a beam of light shot up at the web, causing it to crumble into nothing.
Nobody could believe what had happened. Not even Helba had been able to brake through the protections that had sealed them, but this young boy had done it like it was nothing.
Tsukasa had returned to normal during the show, wondering what had happened and how everyone became armed. Subaru later told him that she had ordered some of her knights to bring everyone's weapons in order to help with their escape. That she had every intension of helping the group get away from the Admin, even at the cost of her life.
Not really knowing what was going on, the Wave Master simply ran with everyone to the Gate they'd used to get to the area, hoping to use it to escape. The Admin were trying their best to stop them, but their abilities were weak when dealing with some of the best fighters of their age.
They reached the gate fairly quickly, but as soon as they got there Tsukasa herd a strange female voice.
"Incompetent fools. Must I do everything myself?"
The Gate stopped spinning, and faded out of existence. Everyone, even the administrators seemed surprised by what happened. The gate failing paled in comparison to what happened next. The area seemed to completely change, they were all surrounded by a high wall trapping them in the rocky area they were now in. They found that they also had one other person opposing them. A man who was suppose to be dead. A man who Black Rose recognized from a statue they'd recently seen.
Sora noticed Tsukasa go white at the sight of the man, and he correctly identified him. "Tomo-yuki."
The man responded by giving the boy a cruel smile. "You don't look like you're happy to see me son." The swordsman laughed. "Then again, after you killed me I doubt you would be happy."
