Record 06: Black Sunrise

Scopio looked at the new arrival. The man was not doing anything other than standing on top of the tower. He still couldn't tell if the man was a Drifter or not. One of the ways you can tell if the person is a Drifter or an END is their eyes. If their eyes are black with white irises then they are ENDS.

"Where the fuck am I?" the long hair man asked himself.

The man opened his eyes and looked at the ugly sight of war. This reminded him of the time he was in the army serving as a Captain for the Dalmascan army. It didn't take more than two seconds to know that the soldiers who were defending this kingdom were doomed for failure. He looked ahead and watched as one of the dragoons suddenly started to dive down towards him.

"What's with the Wyrm?" the man asked himself.

The man jumped up and was above the dragon. He took his katana was resting on his back and slammed down. The blade cut through the dragon's neck like butter. The second dragoon turned around his dragon and started to dive towards the man. The dragon opened its mouth, fire started to build up from it. In a flash the dragon released the flames, aiming towards the man who was still in the air.

The man didn't even flinch and swung his blade towards the direction of the fire. The shockwave cut through the fire and made it towards the dragon and rider. Both were cut cleanly in half.

The man landed on the edge of the wall, looking bored. Scopio took his chance and grabbed the man by his free arm. He knew that the man was a Drifter and not an END. His eyes were light green not black and he came from the corridor which meant that the man was send by him.

"Let go of me before you lose that hand." the man growled.

"We don't have time for this." Scopio argued, "I have to get you out of here with the other Drifters."

"What the fuck are you blabbering about?"

"I'll explain once we are in safe place."Scopio reasoned, "So please just follow me."

The man grumbled under his breath but followed Scopio. Once they reached the wagon where the other two Drifters were waiting in the wagon. It would seem that the man recognize the two Drifters. The man's posture was tense; he seemed to be on guard.

"What the fuck are you two doing here?" the man asked the other two Drifters.

"Who are you?" the Drifter in armor asked.

"Aren't you supposed to be with Larsa, Gabranth?"

"What do you know about the young Lord?"

"He ain't little anymore. I know that you're always next to him, so tell me what the hell are you doing here?" The man smirked. He then turned to the other Drifter, "You too Aerith."

"How do you know my name?" The young lady, Aerith, looked surprised. "I'm afraid I don't know you."

"What are you talking about? It's me Vicious." The man growled until he looked back at Aerith. "How the fuck did you get younger?"

"Can you three have this conversation when we are out of the kingdom?" Scopio growled, "in case you three haven't noticed… We are still in danger!"

"Cool your tits," Vicious smirked, "We're havin' a conversation here!"

"Let's go!"

Scopio was glad that most of his men and those who were smart left already. Now it was just them and his assistant Romario. He took the horses by the reins and commanded them to move the wagon. It was moving at top speed as they arrived to the edge of South gate. Scopio used his illusions to pass by the Dark Sovereign's foot soldiers. Once they made it to the forest, far away from Carneades Scopio managed to relax a bit more.

"Hey Vicious, Gabranth?" Scopio focused on getting as far as they could. "What do you think about this war?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do we even have a chance?" Scopio asked.

"Our chances aren't nil." Vicious smirked.

Gabranth nodded in agreement. Scopio smiled, if their chances were really not nil then there was hope for Skyra. If he can unite these Drifters with the Drifters in the south then there is a chance. He will gather the six drifters if it is the last thing he does. It is all for the people of Skyra; Norms, Halves, and Breaks.

The girl in the black cloak looked at the wounded soldiers. They fought well for her today, she was proud of her men. They made the kingdom of Carneades fall this will be a new home to those that were kicked out because of their appearance. The Sovereign placed her hand on a wounded soldier and started to heal his shoulder. In an instant all of his injuries were gone, only the scars remain.

"Are you going to do that my Lady?" one of the four cloaked, the Defender of the Kingdom, asked.

"Yes," the Sovereign answered. "They fought well for me."

"Sovereign," one of the female's cloaked figures spoke next, she had a brown book in her hands. "We have taken over this kingdom; however, we lost two of the dragoons because of that new Drifter."

"Gather everyone who is injured." The little Sovereign commanded, "We will cure them and head south to conquer the other three kingdoms."

"What about the Drifters?" the cloaked SOLDIER 1st class asked.

"Chase them, find them and kill them."

All four cloaked figures kneeled in front of their Lord and bowed their heads. The SOLDIER 1st class was the first to leave. He mounted a black horse that was outside the gates and left to find the Drifters. Behind him he sensed one of his subordinates had decided to come as well. He didn't mind, he was just eager to find and kill those Drifters, all to be a hero.

Hayate, Angeal, and Zest were heading back to the castle ruins. After the small village was safe from those soldiers there wasn't much to do there. All three knew that they were going to come back, and with a bigger army than before. So they have to plan a counter attack for when they do come. Angeal focused his hearing on an unfamiliar voice that was coming from the trees.

"I can't get in touch with master and I am stuck here with these idiots." The voice mumbled to herself.

Angeal signaled the other two to be quiet and pointed toward the direction of the voice. Hayate and Zest picked up faint magic energy coming from that direction. As quietly as she could Hayate sneaked behind the woman.

The woman had silver green hair hade into pigtails and blue eyes with glasses. She was wearing white and black boots with knee-high white socks and a light green mini skirt. She had a white and green jacket with a heart shaped necklace hanging from her neck.

"You know, it's not nice to spy on people." Hayate whispered into her ear.

The woman turned around only to be knocked out by a karate chop aimed at her neck. Hayate placed a binding spell on the woman and Zest carried her back into the ruins. On the way all three were thinking the same thing about this woman. How come they could understand what the woman was saying? The karate chip that Angeal used to knock her out shouldn't last that long and she should wake up soon.

Soon the unconscious woman woke up startled from being in a bind. The woman tried to struggle free from the spell but the binds got tighter.

"So it seems our guest is awake." Hayate mused as she walked to the woman. "I wouldn't do that if I were you, they will only get tighter if you do."

"Who are you?" Zest asked.

"M-my name is Olmine." The woman started to shake with fear, "I am a magician and an Octobrist. My master sent me to watch over you Drifters."

"Drifters?" Angeal asked.

"I am going to release the binds and you are going to tell us everything you know alright?"

Hayate snapped her fingers as the white bind loops shattered and disappeared before they touched the ground. The woman started to relax a little but then started up to look at Hayate and the others.

"Well," Olmine started. "In this world we can 'Drifters', men like you who came from another world. And my job as an Octobrist is to find and keep an eye on Drifters."

"Why were we summoned and what is the name of this world?" Hayate asked.

"You were summoned to Skyra, this world, to fight against men who are known as ENDs."

"Explain what Drifters are and what these ENDs are." Zest looked down at Olmine.

"You see, we call you guys Drifters, people who were sent here from other worlds." Olmine explained once again. "Likewise, we call ENDs who are like Drifters but they exchange their humanity for power. I am a part of an organization called Octobrist."

"So you were sent her e to watch over us?"

"Yes, our job is to watch and gather Drifters. We do so to fight the ENDs."

Angeal noticed that Olmine started to relax more.

"I don't think you guys are ENDs." Olmine finished.

"Why do you say that?" Angeal asked.

"My master told me that an END's eyes were black with white irises." Olmine looked up once again. "All of you have blue eyes. They only hold utter hatred to this world. I don't know what happened to them before they got here but now they only live on hatred."

"Sounds like a bunch of berserkers to me." Hayate spoke up.

"I guess you could call them that." Olmine continued. "There are only two thing that ENDs do when they come here; devastation and carnage. So you see we need your help in defeating them."

"So how many soldiers do you have?" Hayate asked.

The other three looked at her, confused at her sudden question.

"I may not understand fully what is going on between Drifters and ENDs but I do know that they have a large army." Hayate explained. "So I'll ask again, how many soldiers do you have at your disposal?"

"We are only a small group of magicians so…"

"You don't have any fire power then?"

"Our goal is to gather Drifters and then go to the three kingdoms and appeal to them. They would provide us with armed forces that you Drifters could lead."

"Stop right there," Zest interrupted. "That's not going to work."

"No kingdom is foolish enough to lend their military to some strangers." Angeal explained. "They are going to fight until their last man is down, all for the sake of pride."

"So what are we going to do!" Olmine yelled.

"Unless…" Hayate thought aloud.

"What are you thinking Yagami?" Zest asked.

"We need to go to the village that we just saved." Hayate explained, "I have a suggestion but I need to gather more information."

With that all four stood up from where they were and left the ruins.

"What are you thinking Hayate?" Angeal asked.

"Well…" Hayate kept running towards the village. "We need soldiers right?"

"Yes but you guys said that appealing to the kingdoms would be useless." Olmine explained. "Where are we going to get military power?"

"Simple," Hayate smirked. "We just need to take over a kingdom that's all."
