Len stood on the edge of a mid-city building, staring down at all the shops, skyscrapers, and apartments around him. He was part of the SVAT, or, Special Vocaloid Assault Team. And part of being on this small team was doing the undercover, covert, dangerous missions that the normal police wouldn't dream of handling. And, at this moment, that job was tracking down the El's leader, Ryu. The El's, or Engloids, were all dropouts from the academy, all evil. And Ryu was their leader. Len leaned down on one knee and grasped the edge of the building's scaffolding. He looked up with narrowed eyes at the sky in front of him, as if he could see his memories being played out again.

It was almost a year ago now that Aya had died… by his hand. Though, deep in his heart, Len felt something nagging at him, telling him he didn't… he didn't kill her. That night, when Ryu and Aya were running away, Len saw a flashing red light; A camera. Len, not wanting anyone to see any more, sword he aimed at it and fired. But, in that same instant when the light exploded, there was almost an echo of gunfire, and Aya died, a bullet through the head. Ryu then, attacked Len, nearly killing him, when Gakupo suddenly showed up. Ryu ran off, swearing to kill Len on the way.

Len growled as he remembered. After Ryu was running, Gakupo had come up to him. "Well done Len." He said, an almost evil sound in his voice. "Aya was the only way, you know that." Len, bleeding and hurt, choked. "Why-" He whispered. "Hmm?" Gakupo leaned in, reaching out a hand to help Len. Len took the hand. "If you hadn't come, Ryu would have killed me…" Gakupo smiled. "No problem." He pulled up, but Len stayed down. Anger blared on his face. "He did you come! I deserve to be dead!" Len yelled in rage. He yanked down on Gakupo's arm, and he fell, right onto Len's gun. There was a gunshot, Gakupo flew back, and blood was splattered all over Len's face. Len stood shakily, grasping his shoulder, looking at Gakupo's body.

"You'll pay with your life for postponing my death. And I'll pay by living my life, knowing what I did. You cost me peace, and now everyone will also pay."

Len growled. He was all alone in his pain… "Well," he paused. "Almost." He took a glance sideways. Rin, his sister stood there, her hair up into two little pigtails. She, like him, was in a SVAT uniform, but, she wore short shorts, not pants like Len. Len shivered. How was she not cold? He stood, and tightened his jacket across his bare chest. It was too cold, too quiet up here. Something was wrong.

"Hey! You!" Rin yelled. Len turned to see a woman, wearing all black, pointing two rather large guns in Rin's direction. Rin had spotted her just before she fired. Two bullets whizzed by Rin's head as she leaped over the gap in the buildings, running at the woman. The lady Turned on her boot heel and ran, leading Rin over the rooftops. Rin was a ways away when Len felt something was wrong. "Rin!" he yelled. "Wait-!" He was cut off when a cold, metal circle was pressed onto the back of his head. Len heard a click, and a familiar voice. "So, here we are."

Len stopped mid-breath. He knew that voice. Len quickly spun around, pressing his own gun into the man's chest. Len narrowed his eyes. "Ryu… Don't try tricking me." Ryu, still quite surprised at Len's little 'turn around,' laughed and nudged his gun forward a bit, which now rested close to Len's forehead. "Always have the guns ready, eh Len?" He asked, almost jokingly. "What's wrong, too short to reach my head? " Len didn't respond, but the look in his eye told Ryu everything he wanted to know. "Want to go?" Ryu said finally. "Ok then, Len. Dance Macabre."

Ryu took a step forward, Len one back. Len then took one forward, Ryu one back. The two stepped forward and back, side-to-side, keeping in step, all while keeping the gun on the other. A dance of death. Dance Macabre.

Len didn't notice, but the little 'dance' had taken them to the edge of the building overlooking an alleyway. Ryu took a cunning step forward, and Len stepped back into thin air, and slipped. His gun slid off Ryu. Ryu, taking his chance, grabbed Len by the collar and leaned in. "You messed up." He whispered. "Bye!" Ryu Put his gun under Len's chin, and was about to fire, when a bullet was suddenly zooming by his head. He jumped back quickly, accidently pulling Len up. Both men looked sideways to see Rin, speeding over the rooftops at them, her 'modified" sparkly gun in her hands. Ryu sighed. "I'm tired of this Len, battles never ending. So, let's see some crimson wings."

Ryu, in a flash, held his gun up, and shot Len in the chest. Len tottered, and finally, fell off the edge of the building, hurtling toward the street. Blood poured up and out into two branches, wings of blood. Len's eyes turned glassy and his vision black. A loud rushing noise filled his ears as he neared the ground, along with a strained cry.

"LEN!"

Tired of battles continuing endlessly

I smile, like the brave in myths.

And unfold true crimson wings

"This is the end"

I steel myself

And exchange a kiss of death with the heavens
