Chapter 31: Bond

Night's POV

I can't actually believe this person is my brother! As we looked at each other blankly with a surprised look. He then responded. "So, you're my long lost brother?" He asked me. My expression turned normal and I said to him.

"Guess so." We looked at each other for a moment and he asked me.

"I never knew I had a brother. All my life, I lived in a village. Near an ocean coast, I was raised by the elders and was trained in hunting. But now, after seeing that vision. I'm convinced that I have a brother. What about you?" I thought of what I was going to say and replied.

"I'm actually sort of similar. However, I always wondered about my mother even though I lived a normal life in my village. But to think, I have a brother." I left the room, without looking at anyone.

Blaze's POV

"Man, that must be a surprise. To think, Night has a brother? I can understand how he's powerful and have a similar eyes to him." I replied. "By the way, your name. Thats the name of my village."

"My name was based on a village, and a legend. Meaning the Guardian of Elrios." Eden responded.

"Thats very interesting." I replied. The door then slammed open.

"Guys, bad news. We got chimeras invading us!" Night responded. We quickly stand up and headed outside, when we looked outside we saw phoru that had different creatures parts and seemed to be combined by Nasod technology. They were headed to Nyte's home, and it seems to be after Mari. Nyte however, seemed to be defending her. We headed quickly and helped him.

"Bout, time you arrive." Nyte responded.

"Sorry, about that." I replied. We began attacking, I shot the chimera down with my pistol, Night hack and slashing to pieces, Chi slicing them open and obliterating them with Lunar, Sora shooting down with elemental magic, Mizuki freezing them to death. However, they kept coming.

"Damn, they just keep coming!" Nyte replied. Multiple arrows appeared from the sky and shot them down. We looked to where the arrows we're coming from, It was Eden he was shooting them down.

"Don't worry, about fighting the ones outside, I'll handle them." Just before he left, Night stopped him and replied.

"Let me help you, we'll do it together. After, all... we're brothers right?" He responded. Eden, gave a smirk and replied.

"Your choice. The rest of you, focus on defending the girl." Night and Eden left to take care of them outside.

Eden's POV

As me and my brother. Struck through the wave of beast, we slowly started to recover a bond that was missing between us. A bond, between siblings. One that we never had, as I slowly watched his skills and the way he strike. I started to have a vision.

I saw a women, it was mother. She was swinging her sword and those were the same sword handling as Night. I had another vision of my mother training in the woods, jumping from tree to tree shooting the target with ease. With her bow, those skills we're exactly like mine. I returned back to reality and smiled. "Guess we both take after our mother, huh?" I asked Night. He looked at me and smiled.

"You had the vision too. I'm guessing?" He responded. I nodded my head. Soon we landed one final blow, to the last of the chimera wave. Wiping the blood off our skin and our weapon. We heard a shake on the ground. Everybody, then came out of the house. When we saw, what's coming out of the forest it was a Giant Machine.

"What the hell is that thing?!" I shouted. The top of the machine open up and someone went up. It was an man.

"An old man?" Night replied. The old man, crashed down.

"Hey, i'm still in my mid-thirties!" He shouted. Nyte, eyes widen.

"No, not you!" He said, in surprise. Mari, started hiding behind him. The man looked at him, and gave a evil grinned.

"Hey I remember you. You're that boy from 6 years ago(Note: Nyte is 19 years old). You took my property!" He shouted.

"Mari is not a item. She's a person! You only used her as your tool!" He shouted.

"Nyte, do you know this man?" Night asked him.

He nodded his him. "Thats professor, Mercai. He used to work for the blizzards of fate as a researcher. However, he was kicked out and arrested for doing an illegal experiment with fusing demons, dark artifact, with humans..." He stood silent and after a while replied. "He's also Mari's father."

"What?!" We shouted.

"Its true. That man is Mari's father. However..."

~6 Years ago~

Nyte's POV

I was heading home, as it started to get dark. I started to wonder, when I'll get my next job as a private for Blizzards of Fate. My phone started to ring, when I saw who it was, it was Mari. What could she possibly want at this hour?" I answered my phone.

"Hello?" I responded.

"Nyte, save Mari. Papa is trying to kill me!" She pleaded. My eyes widen.

"Mari, don't run away. I won't hurt you!" I overheard Mari's father hitting a door.

"Nyte Save Mari!" The door then smashed open.

"Ah!..." The line cut off. I started running to Mari's house. As I ran, I called the chief.

"Hello, Nyte. Do you need something?" She asked me.

"Captain, Professor Onette has gone insane. He's trying to kill Mari, get their quickly!" I shouted.

"Alright Nyte. We're on our way!" She hung up, and I was at Mari's house, I tried opening the door. But the door was locked. I didn't have my scythe, so I started smashed the door opened.

"Mari, where are you?!" I shouted.

"Nyte... Mari's here!" She replied. I headed downstairs to the basement and saw Mari strapped to a expremient board.

"Nyte, look out behind you!" She shouted. I was about to turn around when something hit me in the back. Knocking me out.

Moments later

I slowly woke up, and slowly saw myself strapped. I started to struggle out of it, when I heard laughing.

"Hahahaha! Foolish boy, do you really think you can just walk in and be the hero. You're wrong." He grabbed a scalpel and place the metal on a hot surface. Making the scalpel metal hot.

"You know, I always wanted to experiment on a demon-possessed boy like you. And now I get to work on you!" He stabbed me on the arm, with the scalpel. Making my arm start to bleed and boil up.

"Ahhhhh!" I shouted in pain. He removed the scalpel. I responded.

"Where's Mari!" I shouted at him. He started laughing and removed a curtain. I then saw Mari, with a puppet expression look on her face.

"What have you done to her?!" I shouted.

"Surprised? I applied a thread of a living puppet soul and put it on her own soul. So now, she's now a emotionless puppet." He started to unstrapped Mari letting her go.

"Well, daughter why don't you make him suffer?" He gave Mari, the scalpel. Mari, grabbed the scalpel and walked towards me.

"Mari, sorry Nyte." She winked at me. My expression changed and smirked.

"No, Mari don't this!" She pretended to about to stab me and she turned around and threw the scalpel at her father, hitting his chest nearly.

"Gahhh! Damn, it hurts and burn like hell. You damn bitch! I'll kill you!" Mari unstrapped me quick and we ran out as fast as we can. Her father, grabbed a chainsaw nearby and started chasing us. When we got out of the basement, Mari's father grabbed my leg, causing me to fall down on the ground, I saw him trying to impale his chainsaw. I quickly turn my face around to avoid getting hit, then I kicked him in the face and stood up and continued to run. When I found the door outside the house, I saw the chief and Mari there. Getting out, the frost squad surrounded him, before he got to do anything.

"Professor Onette, you are under arrest. For illegal experimenting and attempt murder." He put his hand up and they cuffed him.

~Present~

Eden's POV

"He's the reason, why I now have eclipse. He assigned that mission on purpose, and he also put a living puppet soul in Mari. Giving her the curse of a puppet.

"And now, I find my daughter married with you and already pregnant. Meaning, my grandchild will have the traits of both Eclipse and the curse puppet." He smirked.

"She's no longer your daughter. You put this on yourself!" He shouted.

"Oh, i'm not after you. I'm after Mari and her unborn child." His machine's arm, grabbed Mari.

"Nyte help!" She responded. I aimed my bow at him and was about to shoot.

"Oh are you really going to shoot me. With her and..." Another hole opened up and Rena was tied up.

"Eden, thank goodness you're safe." She replied.

"Mentor Rena!" I shouted. He smirked.

"How about we make a little bargain. I'll give you the elven, in exchange for my daughter. So what do you say?" He asked us. We stood still. Suddenly, a quick slash cut the robot arm and Mari fell down. Someone, then appeared behind Mercai and punched him. It was Night, he started untying Rena rope and she got off. Suddenly, the doctor got back up and with a chainsaw, he started attacking Night. However, he deflected it with his sword.

"Hmph, interesting. You're more better to dissect! Hahaha!" He laughed.

"Sorry, not today." Night struck the chainsaw off his hand. But he grabbed out a shotgun out of nowhere. "Where you get that?!" He said, in surprise.

"Hahaha, die!" He was about to shoot. But I quickly shot my bow at the shotgun causing it to slip out of his hand. As he was about, to pick it up. Night, put his blade up his throat.

"Don't move. I won't have any trouble, killing you if I have to." He responded. He finally gave up and soon the Blizzards of Fate appeared and arrested him again. Making sure, that he doesn't appear again, there putting him in a condemned prison in Artic Elrios. I approached my mentor.

"You alright?" I asked her.

"Yeah, thanks for saving me." She responded.

"Its not me you should be thanking. You should thank Night, he's the one who saved you." I replied.

"Well if you didn't shoot that gun from the doctor's hand, Night would've got killed. Speaking of Night, I noticed that you two have the same eyes. Weird, huh?" She responded.

"Well, he's actually my brother. I recently found out." I replied.

"Hmph, guess there's no need to hide it."

"Wait, you knew this the whole time! Why didn't you tell me?" I asked her.

"At first, I thought you weren't you ready to know the truth, but after seeing your progress I was going to tell you the truth. But, you found the truth yourself." She replied.

"Well, this is awkward." I scratched my head, she patted me in the head, fluffling my hair and fox ears.

"I trust Elrios, in you, Night, and the speck of lights hands. This is goodbye for now." I looked down, and was about to replied.

"Hey Men..." Before, I could answered she disappeared. I smirked. So, my adventure just started. I heard Night, calling me.

"Oi, Eden. Come over here, we need your help repairing the newlyweds house!" He shouted. I smiled and replied.

"Yeah, I'm coming." As I headed to Night. I thought of the bond that we forgotten but now recovered.

So this is the bond, between friends.
