First real update of the New Year; I know a few of you love the Oneshot I put up and the many ideas that I'm working on but it's time to get back to the story you all love! Originally the plan was to rewrite the chapters already up but that would take too much time and I found myself already writing out the new chapter so I decided to just update and see if you can find the spoilers that will soon be shown in the new rewrites. Well you all know my plan on to the announcements.

Announcements

I think I said this before but if not I will say it here, to go along with something new I will introduce I need real world profiles for the characters.

I will be sending PMs to those who sent characters and haven't been reading but for those who are if I have yours thanks and if not please send them in.

-Chapter 18: Family Ties-

Since the conclusion of the Eclipse Tournament life in the massive VMMO returned to it's somewhat normality. The area around the large stadium had to be shut down by the Admin Guards and the Analyst to continue their investigation on CHAOS.

With the area being shutdown also led to the shutdown of the Warp System in and out of the stadium; those who chose not to log out after the events simply took to the roads on foot or took their transports back to wherever they came from. As of right now a group of players were following a dirt path back to their hometown.

"You guys know I don't mind the exercise or anything but why are we still walking back to Tokyo City?" DB asked as he and his teammates continued along the road.

"There was no way to repair the cruiser back at the stadium and right now we don't have the tools on hand to fix it ourselves." Key explained to the vampire.

"So now we just have to travel like this for a while." Shadow finished for the Beta.

"We can all ride on Muku-Chan and fly back Shadow-Kun." Illu suggested to the boy thinking it was too soon for either of them to be up and walking about. 'I know I was given treatment after the Tournament but you did have it worse off.'

"And I'm sure Punnya wouldn't mind carrying a few of us as well nya." Ravena added to the owlgirl's suggestion.

"Punnya!" The Neko Manju happily meowed willing to help the group in anyway. Mukurowl, who was perched on Illu's head, nodded but for now he was enjoying their slow journey across the area.

"I'm sure Punnya and Mukurowl both could carry us but I think we should enjoy this downtime while we still have it." Shadow shot down both plans. "Besides this path leads straight to Tokyo City, as long as we don't stop we'll be there in about a few hours."

"I know you want to rest and relax after your brush with death Shads but you can't get much resting if we do nothing but walking." Bella said.

"One this walk is peaceful and its great exercise and two, we wouldn't be walking if our ride wasn't totaled beyond repair." Shadow reminded the toongirl.

'This guy can really hold a grudge huh.' Bella seemed to ask the audience. "Fine I know it's my fault we are walking but what if I help speed this up?" A flash of light lit up the road for a while and Bella stood in a new form. "With Cannonbolt I can roll us all the way to town!"

"If you think we can all fit then you are as crazy as I think you are." Shadow dully stated. "Also I rather smell of sweat from walking all day than smell of rolling around within an alien."

"Fine then, but how about…" The Arburian Pelarota vanished and in his place was a new form that flew to the air. "Why not just take to the sky; I can fly us all there it's better than walking."

"Props for using my favorite Decepticon, but even if you could stay in control I don't fully trust Starscream not to mention that he can only carry about two of us at a time; three if we squeeze in tightly." Shadow said rejecting Starscream's offer.

Before the transformer could take control and say a few choice words in a flash of red he returned to the ground turning back into the Hyna General. "You know you're hard to please Shads." The shapeshifter said.

"Thank you" Shadow said with obvious sarcasm. "Now let's keep going, soon as we reach the next marker we can fly on Punnya and Mukurowl."

"Or…we can all take a ride now; it will give me a reason to use this new function." As she spoke Bella was already inputting a code within the Omnitrix. The alien device flashed three times before activating.

(Scene Change)

Within the middle of a large fortified area there was a castle built upon a small town. Several people could be seen either entering or leaving off in different directions to parts unknown. Inside a throne room Kusanagi looked down at her remaining generals.

"Hagane, have you made the preparations for the army?" The girl asked the large machine.

"Of course, I should have an infantry force ready for you before I create the specialized units." The towering mech answered.

"And this area's security?"

Hagane looked up to the calculating eyes of his creator. "This area is secure; we are blind to the Admin's eyes and only appear as any other area; though I am making the plans to give us a more permanent location." Hagane then rose from his bow. "Only those converted to your cause know of this castle's existence."

Kusanagi nodded trusting the words of the mechanical giant. Before she dismissed him however, she had one more task for him. "Hagane check on projects Alpha and Beta before you begin…and see about getting a better look."

"Mistress?" While it couldn't show on his face Hagane looked confused at the last part of his Mistress's words.

"I have been doing more observations and as you are now you stand out too much; you are one of the most menacing forces in my army but you have to blend in better than you do now." The princess opened her hand allowed flakes of data to compress and form a sphere in her hand. "Your appearance is recognizable from the Tournament and your meeting with Shadow did not help that either."

"I…I understand, for the sake of your goals I will do as you say and blend in better." Hagane said. Kusanagi slowly released the sphere and let it float towards her general. Sakura and Aka who were watching the display decided to voice their opinions.

"Cheer up you bucket of bolts, I was thinking we could all use a change of appearance anyway, besides you aren't exactly turning heads in a good way." Sakura joked.

"Awe but I like looking like I do now Sakura-Nee; mismatching outfits are so much fun." Aka said after taking the lollipop from his mouth. "Though I would like a change of name though, I'm tired of Aka it got boring days ago."

"I prefer not to look like a…cosplayer I believe the phrase is." Sakura walked forward and then took her bow to Kusanagi. "Mistress-Sama, if you don't mind me asking, is it possible for all of us to take the time and blend in better."

"You may, when you are done Sakura I'm assigning you back to Crystal City do not forget your mission." Kusanagi said.

"Yes Mistress-Sama" Sakura then stood up to leave; she was followed by Hagane as they were both given their orders. They left the room leaving the thunder child, Aka, alone. Aka was looking to Kusanagi knowing he would be receiving orders now.

"Aka I need you to deviate from your assignment for now; I'm sending you as a messenger to the deck. The orders are to go and strike Kurotsubasa." Kusanagi ordered.

"Are you sure, some of the guys are super weak and the only one I can think of who can do that isn't really that strong. Not to mention you won't be giving them a power-up like you did with Renny at the tournament." Aka questioned.

"I am not expecting results this is only a test, as of now only a select few know of us and they do not have a clue how far our influence reaches. I would like to show Shadow what he is dealing with, there are more threats in this world than that fool Chaos." Kusanagi said. "The one you are thinking of should do fine, contact him at once."

"Ok Nee-Sama" The child turned around and went to leave the room but then stopped to turn back to his leader. "Hey Nee-Sama can I change my name, please please?"

The woman sighed knowing he wouldn't go along unless he got his request; she didn't need a sulking general at the moment. "What would you like to be called this time?" She asked him.

"This is the last time I promise." Aka smiled, lightning began to generate from his body and light up the room. "I've been watching some old movies and games to see who has the same powers as me when one caught my eye…" The look he had now deceived his age, "How about…Raiden?"

"Raiden" Kusanaga repeated getting a feel for the name; she then had a smirk appear along her face. "All right then…Raiden, go and put the plans into motion."

The Thunder child gave her a huge grin before vanishing in a flash, the loud crack of thunder told her that he had teleported out. Kusanagi then snapped her fingers and a large fluid-filled capsule appeared before her. She stood from her throne and walked forward looking at the body inside the capsule.

"I had big plans for you but you turned out so horribly, but that isn't something I can't fix." Kusanagi said to the unconscious figure floating in the green liquid.

"My Saint Beasts are incomplete; you must rejoin us Sen…no you deserve better than that." The girl then remembered the weapon her former general used to wield: Ouroborous, the infinite serpent.

"Infinite…Mugen"

(Scene Change)

Another Guard hollered in pain and then joined the rest of his squadron on the ground. The small group of Admin Guards lied dead on the grass, yet for some reason their bodies have not vanish or broken into pixels like normal. In the middle of the slaughter circle a boy eyed his work.

Feeling the hairs on his neck stand on neck he smelled the faint ozone in the air as a bolt of lightning struck the ground close to him outside the circle of bodies. The mysterious teen placed a book within his coat and smiled at the new arrival.

"Hey there brat, I saw some footage of the tournament, why wasn't I asked to compete?" The teen asked.

"Please rookie, that event was for the Four Saint Beasts, you need to have a lot more time spent with us under your belt before you're assigned to do a mission like that." The "brat" spoke to the coat wearing boy.

"And I can't exactly do that if I'm stuck here doing boring missions like this." The boy waved to the guards that lined the grass.

"Well then it's your lucky day, Nee-Sama has a special assignment for you." The newly named Raiden said while pulling out a candy bar from his bag.

"What's the mission, what do I have to do this time?" The boy wrapped his hands behind his head. "Please tell me it's not to deal with more of these weak patrol Guards."

"The winners of the Eclipse Tournament, you know what they look like right?" Raiden had unwrapped his chocolate bar and took his first bite.

"Who doesn't know who they are, plus I happen to know one of them personally." Red eyes flashed for a moment before returning to their dull red color.

"Hope that doesn't get in the way" Raiden took another bite. "Your orders are to strike the Black Wing, Kurotsubasa." He said after finishing his mouthful.

"Strike as in…?"

"As in do as your told and take them out." Raiden said seriously for a second before finishing his snack and showing an innocent smile. "So don't mess up okay?!"

The teen had ignored the sudden mood swing and proceeded to collect the bodies. He then drew a rune on the ground and caused all five to disappear. "No worries I already have a plan worked out for Kurotsubasa." The teen gave him a familiar vampire's grin. "Do I have a time limit?"

"As far as I care take all the time you need, I'm bored again so I'm leaving. Cya!" Another clap of thunder and the Saint Beast vanished.

The now alone player opened his menu and went to his inventory. After searching for a moment he pulled out a small disc-like device: a holo-player, an item capable of holding set amount of footage. The teen pushed play and began watching the Tournament fast-forwarding to a certain battle.

"Wow she really can't keep it together, well time to pay Neko-Chan a visit." A ring rose from the ground and around his body and then he teleported away.

(Tokyo City Outskirts)

Three vehicles continued moving until they parked on the outskirts of the small city. The members of Kurotsubasa stepped out of each vehicle and the Transformers returned to robot mode.

"Wow that trip was short, it wasn't enjoyable at all." The yellow Autobot complained.

"Enough of that Bumblebee, besides this was to help Bella's friends." Ironhide reminded him.

"Yeah I know, just that I wish we were further back so that we could drive around more." Bumblebee said.

Ignoring the two chattering bots the leader of the Autobots addressed Kurotsubasa. "We hope you all enjoyed the ride." Optimus said to the members.

"Thank you, I know I wanted to walk but you did save us a lot of daylight." Shadow thanked the Autobot.

"Any friends of Hyna are friends of ours; now Autobots dismissed!" At his command the three robots became three green orbs of energy, the orbs combined into one before the light died down and showed Bella stretching her limbs.

"I didn't think that would work." Bella said as she popped a few joints.

"What have I told you about tampering with the Omnitrix?" Shadow said.

"Check with Azmuth always to make sure it was safe and I did." Bella stuck her tongue out at the boy. "Besides that was nothing I can do more just wat…"

Key grabbed the girl's hand before she could input a command. "Bella, while I love to see all the new tricks you have, save it for our guest."

Shadow activated his Byakugan to scan around the area. He eyed the area and saw a person quickly approaching them. "Key is right, everyone get ready." Shadow summoned his scythe but then doubled over a bit in sudden pain.

"You still haven't completely recovered Shadow-Kun." Illu said in worry.

"Just sit back and relax for a while; we got this one." DB pulled out his dual handguns.

Shadow was about to protest until he saw the person move right on top of them. "Get back!" He used gravity and pushed them all back before blocking a drop kick with the pole of his scythe. The pole held strong against the booted foot, though the impact was strong enough to release a shockwave that pushed the others back even further.

"I heard you took a pounding at the Tournament, but it looks like you can still fight." The assailant smirked. Shadow just glared at the attacker. "I can do more than that!" The attacker had to jump back to avoid a chakra infused jab. The mystery player did a small flip on the air before he landed on his feet. The others of Kurotsubasa recovered to join their leader.

"You guys want the good news or the bad news?" DB switched to his battle mode.

"Might as well tell us both DB" Key had summoned Infinity and Oathbreaker to his hands.

"We're dealing with a vampire, obviously the same type I am." Before anyone could ask him a question DB had already charged forward. With his handguns he fired a barrage of bullets towards the attacker.

The player was dodging the bullets not letting any amount of lead touch his clothes. "Come on you think bullets will really work?" The teen asked.

"No but let me give you something more to dodge!" The guns soon became enflamed and the player now found himself dodging flurries of fireballs.

"Now this is more like it!" The boy was enjoying himself as he dodged the blazing bullets. One pieced his coat causing him to stop to put out the flames when he saw the air waiver around him. Suddenly a glaive and a keyblade sent him tumbling along the ground.

"I hope you didn't forget about us?" Key asked.

"Bella, Ravena; now's your chance!" Illu called out as she and Mukurowl prepared another illusion.

The boy got up and dusted himself off and saw the air was wavering again. He scoffed and was about to charge forward until a barrage of colors made him shield his eyes. "This trick again?" He kept his eyes covered to avoid a possible seizure.

Lariat!

The attacker felt the air leave his throat as a large bicep slammed into his neck. The eight-tailed jinchuuriki finished his attack and sent him flying before changing back into Bella who added a super strong kick to the combo.

"All right Kitty finish him off!" The toon girl called to the neko.

"Right…nya?" Ravena was about to prepare but in a red and black flash Punnya was suddenly gone. "Punnya where are you!" Ravena looked around worried.

"Hey Rave can you hurry before…" Bella was now confused only seeing a crater which originally held their ambusher. "Ok where did that guy go?"

"Punnya!"

The Neko Manju's call had the guild stop fighting and look for Punnya, when they found her everyone, except for Ravena, were frozen; watching in disbelief.

"Is this supposed to be a joke?" DB asked as they all saw their attacker was now playing with Punnya…by stretching the neko every different way possible,

"It's been so long since I last saw you girl, and you're still as squishy and stretchy as ever!" The boy grinned as he used his hands to pull and stretch Punnya's squishy form.

"Punnya!" Punnya complained not enjoying the mystery boy's actions.

"Hey put Punnya down you…Lil bro?" Ravena asked; she was mad at first until she suddenly saw who the person attacking them was.

"You know him Ravena-Chan?" Illu asked as she and the others stood confused. The boy-in-question continued to 'play' with Punnya until the Manju was pulled from his clutches. Shadow now had Punnya in his hand (to Punnya's relief) and looked at the player.

"Who are you and why did you attack us?" Shadow asked.

"Do I really need a reason to find some action?" The boy asked playfully. "But right now I'm a bit hurt that my own sister didn't ever talk about me or remember me as we were fighting.

"Nya, I've only been in this guild for a while and siblings never came up!" Ravena explained. "Anyway guys, this is my little brother nya."

"Little brother…" DB looked at the two and saw that the boy was much taller than the nekomata girl. "Isn't it the other way around?" He asked the two siblings.

"Nope" The boy answered and grinned to the guild. "I may be taller but sis is definitely older, the name is Whiskasfriskas, Big-Sis's little brother." He introduced himself with a mock bow.

Kurotsubasa stood frozen at the news that their magical nekomata friend had a younger brother. Shadow sighed and decided to end the silence by pointing to the city in the distance.

"Look why don't we all talk back at our Guild base, we can have real introductions there." Shadow said.

"Lead the way then" Whisk smiled. Shadow just looked at him questionably before they all walked back into Tokyo City.

Tokyo City-Kurotsubasa HQ

Whiskasfriskas finished his drink and lied back on his seat enjoying the guild's hospitality. "I don't care what the forums say about you guys, you are all right with me!" Whisk complimented them.

"Um thank you" Illu said after Whisk finished the tae she had prepared for everyone. The guild was around the café part of the base trying to find out more about the catgirl's brother.

"So you're really Ravena's brother?" Key asked.

"Yep, she may not talk about me much but she has mentioned you guys a lot." Whisk then smirked. "She even has a few screenshots on her computer.

"Nya I keep telling you to stay out of my room!" Ravena waved her hands around annoyed.

"You say something Rave?" Whisk smirked to the hissing neko. "Anyway, she talks about you guys a lot…" the boy then pointed to Illu.

"Illusionist Owl…Illu right?" Whisk asked the poison specialist.

"Yes" Illu answered a bit nervously. Mukurowl was sitting on her head staring at the guy confusedly.

Whisk then saw the tiny owl and smiled. "And Muku-Chan, he really is as little as he looks in the pictures." His smiled grew thinking he would have another pet to possibly play with; he then turned back to Illu. "Is it true what happened to you and Sis?"

"What do you mean?" Illu asked wondering what he may be talking about.

"That you two were once dressed as maids?" Whisk asked.

Illu blushed bright red before turning to her best friend. "Ravena-Chan y-you promised you wouldn't tell anyone about those outfits!"

Ravena was looking at the floor not wanting to meet Illu's embarrass eyes. "Nya he saw some pictures that I saved privately on my computer and wouldn't leave me alone until I gave him a story." Ravena admitted.

"Well you both looked cute, I bet it was for that guy you two…"A foot met his face making him fall out his seat. The rest looked at a blushing Ravena putting her foot down and a blushing Illu looking thankful to her friend. Whisk then picked himself up still smiling despite the blood dripping from his nose.

"Well jokes aside" He cleaned himself up and continued. "Any way you must really be good at those illusions you make, especially with what I saw in our last fight."

"Well those were only small ones at best, I still have work to do with making my bigger one perfect." Illu's blushed had died down to a dull pink but she was still embarrassed.

"Really...from the Eclipse Tournament highlights all your moves were perfect, it's really a shame you lost to that Wolf-guy." He said making the girl even more flustered. Whisk then turned to the Beta.

"And you're Keybladedude; I never thought Beta's were as strong as everyone says until I saw you fight in the tournament. Now I know I was wrong." Whisk said.

"There are a lot of rumors about the Beta-testers; most of them are usually false." Key said. "I hear all of the rumors."

"How were you able to make custom keyblades like the ones you have, some kind of Beta/Admin secret?" Whisk asked.

"Not really, though most light type players can find it, you just have to find your own Station of Awakening and then you can forge your own blades with your soul. It just helps if you have a keyblade already in mind to use as a base like mine." Key explained the process.

"Wow" He said almost mentally taking notes as he listened to Key's response. He then heard some light tapping on wood and saw DB practicing on a wooden table.

"So you're the famous DrummerBoy; I may have to call you Gunslinger with how close you came to turning me to Swiss cheese." Whisk laughed.

DB also laughed at the joke. "I'm sure the bullets wouldn't have worked have worked anyway if they did hit you, we are the same blood after all."

"Hellsing Vampire" Whisk puffed his chest boldly and offered a hand to his fellow vampire.

"Nothing else stands a chance" DB accepted the hand and they shook at the same time testing each other's grip. They both soon let go impressed with each other's strength; Whisk now turned to Bella.

"The Great Hyna General!" Whisk said eccentrically. "So is it true that you're as flat as an iron board?" His answer came in the form of another body part meeting his face and sending him to the ground. Bella brushed off her fist after hitting him dead center.

"Really Hy-Nya?" Ravena solemnly asked.

"Brother or not no one will be spared from my wrath!" Bella said in a matter-of-facto tone.

Whisk picked himself off the ground while wiping the blood away again. He then threw the napkin away and smirked. "And you got a good punch too; I expect nothing less from Ravena's partner in crime!"

"So you have heard of me and my men's exploits?" Bella asked.

"Heard of them, I laughed for a week after the paint bomb in the Admin Guard's quarters!" Whisk said, "I still can't get the 'Pink Guards' out of my head."

"Glad I can entertain the masses" Bella did a mock bow. Whisk clapped for a bit before he turned his sights to the final member.

"The Boss himself; how does it feel to know your bounty increased?" Whisk asked.

"Increased?" Shadow said questionably.

"Yep, right after the tournament ended your bounty went through the roof, although now you probably won't have to worry about any low-skilled noobs coming after you now." Whisk said.

"Strong or Weak; I know that I'll still be going challenged and I won't go easy on them." Shadow simply said.

"Good to know…hey has Sis ever sad how much she…" His question was cut off as Ravena now held a hand over his mouth.

"So Lil' Bro what brings you this way?" Ravena asked wanting to move the conversation along before he said something too embarrassing.

"Oh right" Whisk then cleared his throat and then looked to them all with a serious look. "I was wondering if I could possibly join the guild."

The room got silent at the request that Whisk had asked. Ravena was the one to break the silence as she looked to her brother. "Why would you want to join bro; I thought you still like being solo as you look for action?"

"Well lately the fights that I have are getting boring, so I figured why go find trouble when I can let it find me." Whisk explained in his own sense of logic.

"So you figured why not join the guild where the leader is a marked target." Key theorized. "No offense Shads."

"None taken" Shadow said. "What made you think that you could join?"

"Well you let Ravena join and she is a basket of trouble." Whisk joked around grinning. "Besides wasn't the fight enough?"

"The fight, you mean the fight we had before was your way of auditioning?" DB realized.

"Exactly" Whisk said. "I had to show that I could keep up with you all."

A few of them nodded now having a clue of what the boy was thinking. Raven turned to Shadow since the ultimate decision of joining guilds lies with the leader.

"Come on Shads, Bro may have his faults but he is a good fighter, can he join?" Ravena pleaded adding large eyes to the image.

"He seems capable enough in battle and with him here we can outnumber the girls again like old times." DB added ignoring Bella's looks.

As the two kept going with suggestions of how Whisk would be a good addition to the guild Shadow kept silent as he thought it over. He then looked to the boy and made eye contact with him and suddenly his mind was blank. Shadow held a temple and let out a breath.

"Fine, he can have a probationary period. He still has to prove himself." Shadow answered.

"Nya you hear that bro, all you need to do is prove yourself!" Ravena gave her brother a hug.

"Hey let go!" Whisk squirmed to escape the hug. As the others laughed at the siblings' antics Shadow still clutched his head as he shook it slightly.

'What the hell…was that?' Shadow thought to himself as he shook the cobwebs out his head. The others were enjoying themselves watching the two while Shadow looked at Whisk with even more suspicion.

(Time Skip)

Whisk was alone as he lay on the roof of the two story building. He was enjoying the breeze through the air as Whisk was out in the peace and quiet of Tokyo City. The vampire opened an eye as he heard the soft flutter of wings. The vampire sat up as he saw what appeared to be a violet monarch butterfly.

"What do you want; don't you have something better to do than spy on me?" Whisk asked quietly.

"Rookie, you need to know your place amongst your betters, and what about your assignment; Mistress-Sama told you to eliminate Kurotsubasa, not join them." A female voice spoke through the butterfly.

"You have no faith in me, trust me when I say I have a plan to defeat Kurotsubasa and take the Princess a new golden bracelet." Whisk dully said not caring for the girl's harsh words.

"Enough with your jokes; finish your assignment…if you fail there are many in the deck to replace you." The butterfly flapped its wings and took off leaving the boy alone. Whisk watched as the medium disappeared and then sighed.

Whisk then heard the door behind him open. "So there you are Lil' Bro; I've been looking all over for you nya."

"That's funny; I was just about to go look for you too." Whisk turned to his sister.

"Nya, what for?" Ravena asked. Whisk then rose to his feet and walked over to Ravena instantly towering over her small stature. Faster than the eye could see a soft jingle fill the air; the catgirl was shocked seeing Whisk had flicked her bell.

"So Sis, how come Felis got loose?" Whisk asked in a more grim tone.

Ravena stood serious as well can cover her bell with a hand. "I didn't let Felis loose, what are you talking about?"

"Sis I know I may seem dumb but I'm not stupid; since the Tournament, hell days before that, I was able to feel Felis' presence." Whisk said calmly. "Do those guys, your friends, know the truth about Felis?"

"They know about her, Shads and I told them after the Tournament." Ravena hissed.

"Really; so they know the whole truth…even about your old days?" Whisk asked.

"It's my life, I'll tell them when I'm ready, don't you say anything to them Whisk." Ravena dropped the nickname as she glared at him.

"All right I get it; you will tell them when the time is right…let us hope it won't be too soon." The two siblings glared at each other for what seemed like hours before Whisk broke it with a grin. "So you say you were looking for me?"

Ravena sighed and then explained the reason why she was searching for him. "We got a request for a job, Shads says if you do a good enough job on this mission then you can become a full member." The Nekomata said.

"Cool" Whisk replied. "Well I shouldn't keep the guy waiting then can I?" Whisk then walked over to the stairs. "Coming Sis?" He asked as he turned to look at his sister.

Ravena nodded and followed her brother back inside; her head was too full of thought to say anything.

(Scene Change)

Back in the café area, also dubbed the briefing room, everyone were either standing or sitting in one of the many seats or stools. Moments later the siblings walked down the stairs and walked towards the others.

"Nice now that you two are back we can start." Shadow said.

"What is the mission Boss man?" Whisk asked.

Shadow ignored the jibe and went on with the meeting. "We just have a simple request; we just have to deliver a set of armor and supplies through town."

"A delivery…waits what's the catch?" DB asked.

"Two…Tweedle-Dumb and Tweedle-Dunce." Shadow said causing everyone besides Key, Illu, and Whisk to groan.

"Do we really have to deal with those guys again Shads, it got boring when we kick their asses the 90th time." Bella complained.

"They are the ones patrolling that area right now; Rina gave me the heads up to watch out for those two while we deliver the Guard's new armor." Key explained.

"We're doing chores for the Admin nya, why are we doing a job like this?" Ravena asked.

"Supposedly it is to show good relations between us and the Admin; besides as long as Key's Boss is paying us for the job we can do her a favor." Shadow said.

"At least it is only the Tweedles we have to worry about." DB sighed.

"And these two are?" Whisk asked in curiosity.

"Just two of the Guards that work for the Admin; however, they constantly try to fight us for Shadow-Kun's bounty." Illu answered.

"Really, I thought the A.G. weren't allowed to attack players without reason." Whisk said.

"That is true, but they use the excuse of using their rights as fellow players to challenge us…besides those two there are no other threats on this mission can you handle this?" Shadow asked the probationary member.

"Potential danger is better than none at all." A thought then came to his head. "Hey how about you all just leave those guys to me?" Whisk offered.

"You want to take on two Admin Guards alone, though they may be morons they specialized in rushing and combination attacks that will outnumber you 2 to 1." Key told him.

"That's even better, now I know for certain I will have a good fight and won't have to deal with the Guards' chivalry crap." Whisk smiled.

"So you have fought Guards before Whisk-San?" Illu asked wondering the reason why he would have to.

"Sometimes, normal fights sometimes get dull and boring so I like to mix it up and challenge some Admin Guards once in a while." Whisk answered the owlgirl's question. "So can we go now?"

"Yeah, we're leaving now." Shadow said as all those sitting down stood up to leave.

Tokyo City Streets

"This is so boring!" Bella said as she held a box in her arms.

"Would you rather be dealing with the Tweedles right now?" DB asked carrying another box.

"Hey that's my job" Whisk playfully added.

Bella shrugged as she continued to carry the supplies. "Better than just being delivery boys."

"A job is a job so stop complaining Bella" Shadow said as he carried the last box. "Besides we're almost there." He eyed the buildings that told him they were close to the barracks.

Key was walking behind the carriers thinking of words to say to Rina regarding payment. At the same time Ravena and Illu were talking silently behind the rest of the guild.

"Blackmail, are you sure Ravena-Chan?" Illu asked.

"Nya he threatened to tell you guys a secret, something that I really don't want you guys to know about." Ravena meowed sadly.

"Is it really that bad of a secret?" The silence and the look on the Neko's face told Illu all she needed to know. "Well no matter what the secret is we wouldn't think any less of you." She tried to reassure her.

"You guys probably wouldn't look at me the same again nya." Ravena sighed. "Maybe it is a bad idea to have Lil' Bro in the guild."

"I'm sure that is just sibling worries, you just don't want Whisk-San to embarrass you anymore…heavens know he embarrassed me today." Illu sighed before she got to the point. "Ravena-Chan I have brothers, and even though we're not related, they are still my brothers. Sometimes they say the wrong things, we fight, and they tease me but they are still family to me."

Illu took a pause to let the words sink in before speaking again. "Do you get what I'm saying Rave-Chan?"

"Yeah I guess you're right Illu-Tan." Ravena then stopped as soon as she heard movement. Double checking her ears moved again confirming it. "Head's up guys!" She alerted the others.

Shadow used his Byakugan and scanned around the group and the path ahead. "Oh great…"

"Kurotsubasa…did you really think you can pass through this road during our rounds without alerting us?"

"Not you're best decision seeking us out for combat but we will happily oblige you!"

Jumping from the rooftops two Admin Guards landed on the street before the guild. They were dressed similarly to the other guards but they had their own alterations such as revealing red and green straight hair. The two drew their swords and stood boldly.

"Now you have to deal with us…Admin Crosses' Percival!" The red haired knight announced.

"Admin Crosses' Gawain!" The green haired knight announced.

"NOW TREMBLE AT THE ADMIN'S CROSS DUO!"

After the two guard's display they were met with yawns by a few of Kurotsubasa. Shadow held his box midair with his powers and walked forward crossing his arms.

"Look we don't have time for you two right now, heck we'll even tell you now that we're deliver armor for you guys." Shadow said wanting to get this over with.

"How do we know that this isn't a trap to make us drop our guard?" Gawain asked.

"You're toon friend has already booby-trapped us once with that bomb, it took us weeks to bleach our armor and remove the paint from the barracks!" Percival yelled.

"You were all asking for it, especially the on that called me a boy!" Bella yelled back.

"Regardless know this; you are not getting passed us without a few bruises!" Percival said to the group.

"You can make it easy on yourself and stand still and take punishment or make it worse by fighting back." Gawain added.

'Worse for you guys.' All the members beside Whisk thought. Said boy was already cracking his knuckles and then placed his box on the ground.

"Hey Shads, like I told you guys before let me handle these two clowns." Whisk said angering the two Guards.

"We don't have time for you to get too involved in this match; this mission is to deliver the armor nothing more." Shadow said. "Heck we can always fly over these guys or have Key completes the mission."

"Come on, how about this if I defeat them in five minutes then we can go forward, either way we will complete the request right?" Whisk asked.

Shadow sighed and then stepped back, DB and Bella were about to offer help until Shadow dismissed their involvement. "Five minutes is all you have, not a second more."

"Five minutes is actually more than I need." Whisk's red eyes glowed as he walked over to them. Watching all of this Ravena looked to her brother in worry.

'I know he is a good fighter but against two guards with armor and swords this will be tough. Lil Bro doesn't even carry weapon and even if he regenerates if he takes too many hits even he will have trouble.' Ravena watched as he brother charged forward.

"Now you insult us by sending only one fighter, and a lower skilled one at that." Gawain summoned a shield that blocked the vampire boy's blunt fist. Whisk had to kick back to avoid a slash from his blade. He didn't have time to rest as Percival was soon over him.

"And this one even said that he can defeat us in five minutes, don't make me laugh!" Percival missed as Whisk just barely dodged decapitation. An armored boot to the face sent Whisk scrambling along the ground.

"He's not doing very well" Key commented on the battle.

"Nya Bro you can do this!" Ravena encouraged him; her ears moved again as she heard a faint sound that seemed lost in the area.

"Of course Sis, after all…" Whisk pulled himself up and then vanished in a burst of speed. Percival flinched when he saw the boy was now in front of him. "I was always the better fighter."

The battle took a new turn as Whisk slammed a barrage of fist into the Guard's breastplate denting the armor as multiple hits struck it as his fists moved at supersonic speed. Percival coughed up blood as he felt the attack break through his armor and began to hit his body.

"Percival!" Gawain intervened and slashed at Whisk causing him to end the fight. Whisk was still smirked as he saw the punished Guard hunch over holding his abused stomach.

"This one…he" Percival wheezed out as he slowly tried to straighten himself.

"You have to rest; I will take care of this scum." Gawain was about to advance but Percival held him back.

"That boy is hiding something; we may be forced to use that." Gawain was shocked but nodded his head as he helped his brother in arms.

"Ok I believe you, it is time to end this battle!" Both of then stared at the still grinning Whisk and then sent power to their swords making them shine a red and green aura of the knight's respective color.

Whisk smirked as he prepared himself. 'All right here they come, it is almost time.'

"Wow the Tweedles must be desperate if they want to use that move on your brother Rave." Bella said.

"I know I hope Whisk can survive this." Ravena then turned to Shadow. "Shadow-Kyun…"

"He still has time, and if he needs it we will step in." Shadow said. Though he wanted to see how this would end as he thought something was wrong with the battle.

"LET'S GO!"

They rushed forward with their glowing blades filled with the sole intent of cutting the enemy in front of them down. The faint shadow of a two headed dragon roared as they quickly reach Whisk in a short time.

Duo Gigaer…

The two suddenly froze as pain went through them, they were frozen feeling their vision fade as they stared at the glowing red eyes of a demonic Whisk. Before a word could be said a fist to the temple knocked them both to the ground unconscious.

'Exactly as planned' Whisk then turned around and gave Kurotsubasa an innocent smile. "Well that's all well and done…we got a delivery to make people."

"After that fight I know we have to spar against each other sometime." DB smirked. "You made short work of them, though I wondered what happened when their signature move failed to work."

"Oh I just used one of my powers that made them freeze in place so that I could finish them, it is too bad that Shads gave me a time limit otherwise I would have had more time to show off." Whisk said.

"Yeah and we have no time for that" Shadow passed the box on the ground back to Whisk who caught it. "We have a job to do, despite what can be said about us we don't fight all the time."

"Come on Shads, guy was just having fun" Bella said. "We could use some fun and excitement when we have to do boring missions like this."

"Boring missions like this is what buys the food we eat at the base now let's move everyone." Shadow said. The rest followed him as the carriers carried their boxes. Before Ravena left she looked at the two guards and then joined the others.

'That sound from before, it sounded almost lik…'

"Punnya?"

Ravena's thoughts were interrupted by the concerned meows of the Manju flying in front of her. She smiled and petted Punnya for a bit and then walked up with the others. "I'm fine Punnya I must be hearing things, why would I hear scribbling during a fight."

"Scribbling?" Illu asked.

"I just heard something like pen hitting paper, but I may have just mad it up." Ravena answered her curious friend. "Come on let's go finish this dumb mission nya!" As the girls and pets walked with the others and talked no one noticed an irritated look on Whisk's face.

'Looks like I may have to accelerate things.'

Time Skip - Admin Barracks

"Well I didn't think you guys would avoid those two anyway but did you really have to beat them up that badly?" Rina sighed after hearing the story from Key. The one that fought with the two only shrugged his shoulders.

"Hey I live for a good fight and those two seemed willing." Whisk simply said.

Rina shook his head at the unneeded need for violence. 'This kid is almost as weird as Deus.' The Analyst then looked to them all. "You might as well have this one dropped over at the metal chambers."

"Metal Chambers?" Whisk asked interested.

"Don't bother, it is only a small jail they have around here where they keep some criminals until they can be moved to a more secure facility." Key explained. "And Rina you know you are not supposed to offer chances to fight inmates."

"I never offered I just suggested." Rina waved off then comment. "Anyway you delivered the armor and other things so mission done."

"Yes, now if you can just…" Shadow was cut off by Key covering his mouth.

"Well we have to leave, let's go everyone!" Key somehow dragged them all out of the room. Rina just stared at the dust cloud that was Kurotsubasa before shaking her head and returning to her work.

Outside walking back towards the base a loud grunt could be heard. Key was lying on the ground while Shadow dusted himself off. "Word of advice, tell me things like this ahead of time, don't even place a hand over my mouth."

"Sorry, I owed Rina a favor and decided that we would deliver the supplies to repay her. I only said that because it would be faster to have help than to do it alone." Key explained.

"Then asked don't try a dine and dash routine, and I expect you to pay up for the mission." Shadow sighed. "Anyway I'm taking nap, we're off the clock." He began to walk away.

"Come on Shads, you really want to sleep nya?" Ravena asked.

"After all that has happened I rather take a siesta" Shadow answered. "Like I said we are off the clock, we can all just chill around the base."

"That's cool I need to learn my way around anyway." Whisk was the first to walk in. The rest soon followed after all unaware of the plot thickening.

FFW

Ravena was flying around the building looking around for her favorite drummer. Punnya was not far behind as she traveled with her friend and owner. "DB-Chan, it's that time again nya!" The flying catgirl then froze when she heard a familiar song.

The pet and owner duo opened the door to DB's room and found the vampire jamming away with his drums only something did not sit right with her. DB was playing the beat she and him would dance to with Whisk as he played on a bass guitar adding to the rhythm. The two vampires stopped when they saw the Neko.

"Ever heard of knocking Sis?" Whisk playfully asked.

Chibi Ravena paid her brother almost no attention at all as she looked to DB almost teary-eyed expression on her face. "DB-Chan, that's our practice song, it's our practice time…did you forget?"

DB looked at her apologetically. "Sorry Rave, I was looking for you before Whisk dragged me in wanting to show me his playing, he saw that I had the song up and asked if we could mix it up for a while." He said sadly.

"But…" Ravena stuttered out still not believing it.

"Sis it is still the same song, we just made it rock!" Whisk and DB slapped hands before DB realized what he just did, he turned wanting to apologize only to see Ravena had already flew away.

FFW

After the debacle with DB Ravena took time to calm her down and look for Key. She went into the terminal room knowing he was there going through computer files.

"Ani-Key, please tell me you have some news about some new spells that can help me take my mind off something nya." Ravena asked wanting to hear an answer and at the same time wanting to forget about what had happened earlier.

"So I have to take the path that follows the river right?"

Ravena stopped again one again seeing the cause of her ire was chatting with Key. The Beta had a map displayed on a hologram as they talked about a specific route to reach an area.

"No the river path is a trap, it is mostly for show saying 'here's a path'…don't take it." Key explained and then showed him something else. "Follow until you hit this tree, it provides a one-time use teleport to the dungeon."

Whisk nodded, "That is true but how about…" The vampire touched a few spots on the map and it revealed another pathway.

Key stood shock not knowing of that route. "I have never seen a route like that, how did you find it?"

Whisk smiled. "Well I was underground in another area digging around to see if I could find anything when I discovered a serious of underground pathways. This one specifically leads even passed the door and into one of the deeper rooms in the dungeon."

"And it is safe?" Key asked.

"Of course, it leads to a dungeon save where you can even replenish your health, energy; heck you can even set a marker there to teleport." Whisk pointed out. "I'm surprised Big Sis hasn't said anything about paths like these."

"Well we have been busy with the tournament but as long as we talked she has never really been to this part of FFW…even then I think she only knows about as much as I do." Key said.

"Really, guess I'm an even better explorer than her." He was joking around but Ravena didn't care. She had already let out a silent sigh and left the room without alerting either to her presence.

FFW

"You're overreacting Ravena-Chan" Illu said as she sat with her depressed friend in her realm. "I'm sure he I actin just as you said he would, an annoying little brother."

"I know Illu-Tan but it feels like something more; he took drum-time with DB-Chan, Treasure-talk with Ani-Key, went on a big pranking tour with Hy-Nya without me." Ravena sighed. "It is like he is trying to replace me."

"No one could ever replace you." Illu told her. "They obviously wanted to make him feel as welcome as possible, besides it is only one day give it time and it will all be back to normal."

"Nya I guess" The girl then perked up. "Wait what time is it now?"

"I don't know but it is probably still daylight out." Illu answered confused.

"Nya how could I forget, Shadow-Kyun promised to let me tour the Collection Vault!" Ravena said with eyes shining.

"Wow he barely let's anyone in there." The two left Ravena's realm and exited out into Illu's room within the guild building. On the owl girl's bed was a sleeping Punnya and Mukurowl. Illu smiled and turned to her friend.

"Go ahead and meet with Shadow-Kun; I'll watch them for a while." She promised her. Illu let out a sudden Eeep as she was pulled into a hug by Ravena.

"Nya you're a true friend Illu-Tan, I'll be back soon promise!" Ravena then quickly left out the room.

"Shadow-Kyun!" Shadow stopped walking seeing Ravena was rushing towards him. He had to quickly move out the way unless he wanted to crash into the cat girl. "Nya, I hope I didn't miss out."

"No you're just in time, just try not to do that again…we don't want another training incident." Shadow looked away as he blushed. "Anyway you want to take a look at the room or what?"

"Yep I've been looking forward to it nya!" Ravena said blushing as she remembered the 'incident.' "So let's go I want to see how much treasure you guys have collected nya."

Shadow walked her to the door an unlocked it. The door opened and the two stood confused seeing Whisk observing several things placed in glass; he seemed to notice them and smiled.

"Hey I didn't know you guys found a gelel stone."

"Bro, what the hell?!" Ravena yelled wondering what he was doing.

"Better question is how did you get in here?" Shadow asked.

"Simple I just let myself in" Whisk laughed. "So why you two about to do in here, something that mom wouldn't like?" He teased the two causing Ravena to get more annoyed and Shadow to look away; they both were blushing.

"Whiskas!" Ravena hissed but the next words she heard made her rage completely disappear.

"You know what, forget the look around…both of you just get out of the room and make sure to close the door." Shadow just walked away from the two siblings and left them alone at the room. Ravena looked sadly as he walked away and then looked back to Whiskasfriskas.

"Nya, what was that for, have you been trying to ruin my day since you got here?" Ravena asked.

"Oh nothing like that." Whisk walked out the room and closed the door locking it. "I just wanted to see how your friends are; they seem like an ok group of people."

"Nya Whisky, I know we fight and annoy each other but you have gone too far!" Ravena yelled.

"Oh I've gone too far, like using Felis in the tournament wasn't too far?" Whisk asked.

Ravena was taken aback by his tone but did not back down. "Nya I didn't have a choice, TsundeRose took the bell off of me…but regardless it is my power and Felis is a part of me! You can't tell me what I can and cannot do with my powers."

"True, though I thought you didn't want to use Felis since she reminded you of your old days; when you two were still one: the infamous Raven's Familiar." Whisk said before laughing. "It is almost ironic; one of the most known rogues went off the map by just changing her name but keeping the initials."

"Those days are behind me, besides why would you care, you weren't a part of this world then." Ravena asked.

"I care because it only took you mere days to reach levels that left others in the dust while I was stuck grinding and gaining power slowly like any other new player…however I should thank you because you introduced me to something greater." Whisk said.

"You're making no sense Whisk, I think we have to talk in RL now log out so that we can talk." Ravena said.

"Oh I'm making perfect sense, and we can talk fine right here…or." Whisk's eyes flashed and a purple eye with a famous design stared at Ravena directly. "I can do all the talking and you can just listen."

Before Ravena could react her bell was then taken off. Felis then opened her eyes and looked at Whisk in time to hear his first words.

"Now obey me…GEASS!"

(The next day)

Shadow yawned as he walked out of the Reception Center; he was up late last night so he was not completely awake. He continued his walk to the guild and he then saw a familiar face in the crowd. Shadow was about to wave to say hi but noticed the person seemed to be waiting for him.

He then stopped before the Admin. "Cast what are doing out here, I figured you and the others would still be searching for CHAOS."

"We kind of got sidetracked after an even happened in Tokyo City last night." The young Admin looked at Shadow sadly. "Shadow this is something you have to see."

Admin Barracks: Metal Chambers

Groans could be heard as one of the prisoners woke up into consciousness. Looking around her new surroundings Ravena shrieked and then madly looked around wondering where she was. A familiar ringing told her that her bell was back where it was.

'Wait Whisk took the bell away and then.' Ravena held her head. "What happened after that, I can't remember."

"You can't remember…or maybe, you just don't want to." Ravena was startled by the new voice. She turned to the bars and saw that the A.G. standing guard over her was none other than Leon. She could feel the cold glare from behind the Guard's faceless mask.

"Nya what do you mean won't, I don't even know where I am?!" Ravena yelled as she ran to the bars.

"You are where you're supposed to be; a place for rouges and criminals like yourself." Leon explained and Ravena's eyes widened. "You get it now don't you; you are back in the Admin Barracks…the same place you attacked last night."

"The Barracks nya, I didn't go anywhere last night I was talking to my little brother before." Suddenly the last thing she remembered popped into her head, the look on her brother's face and the eye that he carried. 'Geass…'

"Clever story; however, there were many witnesses that saw you and a few guards that died in your assault." Leon waved a hand and a small screen appeared in midair. "I think you would know who this is on camera."

Ravena walked even closer until she was against the bars and watched the video. It was nighttime in the barracks and the only light was that of the buildings until one suddenly exploded. Many guards were swept away as they tried to stop their attack. Ravena did not understand what she was watching until she saw who was the one destroying the buildings.

(Scene Change)

Cast had taken Shadow to the Admin Barracks, his eyes widened when he saw the difference from yesterday and today, all the rubble that lied on the ground and the holes and claw marks on buildings. "There is no way Ravena could have done this." He said simply.

"Leon saw what he saw and he even has the video recording, true she looked a little different but Ravena Felidae was no doubt the one who attack this facility last night." Cast then turned to Shadow. "Did anything unusual happen since you got back from the Stadium?"

Shadow shook his head. "No not really, everything was normal except for…" He thought back to first meeting Whisk and making eye contact. 'That makes no sense, why would he want his own sister in jail.'

"Except for what?" Cast asked. "Shadow if you know something that we don't please tell me." The Admin asked in an almost neutral tone. "I understand that this is your friend but she has committed a horrible offense and must be punished."

Shadow was silent, trying to think everything true. "Cast…how long do you usually wait until you move convicts to the more secure jails?"

Cast looked at him sadly. "Twenty-four hours, it is how we make sure we have space for all of the criminals in Tokyo City. I am sorry but by midnight tonight Felidae will be taken away." The Admin explained to him.

'Not if I do something about this.' Shadow thought as he began to formulate a plan.

(Scene Change)

Ravena sat depressed in her cell as she thought over the video she had been shown. Her eyes were dulled showing that she looking through her memories to see if she could recall anything.

'This is not right, how did all of this happen?' Felidae asked herself, and she chose to answer back.

"Is it not obvious by now; you didn't commit any of those crimes DeeDee it was me." Felis appeared before Felidae as they both stood in her mindscape. Felidae then glared at her other self.

'Why did you do it then, after all these years why…?'

"Why would I jeopardize your time in peace, your time with those you call friends?" Felis cut her off. The two then remained in silence until spoke again. "Simple really, like the time with that Rose girl I had no choice in the matter."

'Rosie, I don't understand Rose could only control us because she could only control animals…not to mention I can't even remember what had happened after I talked to Whisky.' Ravena recalled.

"Exactly, that brother of yours switched us before looking at me with that eye, the last hours were blurs but I can slowly recall because of the videos." Felis explained. "I used our Yamanaka powers to check our memories as well and I can only find a blank between now and then."

'A blank nya, so that means we don't remember or…"

"We were controlled, by Whisk's Geass." Felis said with a bit of venom in her tone.

'Hold on Whisky may be a lot of things and he may be annoying but even he is not this deviant or cruel, there has to be more nya.' Felidae defended her brother.

"Really, he seemed so keen on taking your place and now he must be tying up loose-ends. Who is to say he doesn't use his power to make the others forget you?" Felis asked making her other half depressed. "They have abandoned you like all the others."

'No it's not true; this isn't like the past nya.' Felidae slowly slumped to the ground. 'How do we get out of this?'

"There is no way out, we can't use powers in places like this. The only way out is to wait until they transfer us before we break out." Felis theorize.

'But then we'll be on the run again, I don't want this to be like the past.' Felis said nothing as she heard Felidae sob. The older looking half sighed before she began to stare off into space.

"Then let us hope someone has a plan to get us out of here."

Tokyo City-Reader's Shop

*Aaachoo!*

"Is someone talking about you?" RoM chuckled as he talked with his customer.

"Possibly and I have a feeling I know who that someone is." Shadow then sat in the seat that RoM kept at the back of his store. "So can you do it or not?"

"I don't know you already have a cute kitty who can surf your mind for free, why come to me with payment?" RoM asked curiously as he sat down before Shadow.

"Why does it matter Read, just be happy you are receiving any payment." Shadow just stared stoically at the Info-broker. "Look I just need you to check my memory from the past day and tell me if you see anything unusual."

"Really, anything specific?" RoM asked.

"You know what I mean by unusual, now you already have been paid now hurry up with the search." Shadow said.

RoM sighed before pulling up and chair and sitting in front of the scythe wielder. A book flew from one of the numerous bookshelves in the shop and in his hand. "Try to calm yourself and close your eyes; this won't take long."

Shadow nodded and closed his eyes as he relaxed in his seat. RoM began the procedure but then saw a mark on Shadow's neck. 'What would Shadow be doing with that mark; I may need to talk with MataHari soon.' The book began glowing as he began to peer through Shadow's memories.

(Time Skip)

Whiskasfriskas was walking along the streets of Tokyo City; he let out a bored sigh as he looked around the small city. "No one is over at the base and it has been half a day…wonder if they are planning some kind of initiation." He smirked. 'Right now it doesn't matter, Sis should be loaded up to leave soon and all it takes is a bit of persuasion to deal with the others.'

"Although Shadow may be a problem," Whisk stopped and saw that he had received mail. "Speak of the devil…" He opened the message and quickly skimmed it.

An hour passed and Shadow was now seen standing at the top of a random building. He opened his eyes and saw that Whisk had now arrived as he walked over towards him smiling.

"Hey why did you call me out here, is this a guild thing?" Whisk asked him.

"No the others weren't able to log on today, and for some reason I can't get a hold of Ravena…have you seen her?" Shadow asked his own question.

Whisk shrugged. "Sis is usual online before me; she usually plays every time she is able to get some free time. I have no clue why she would waste a day."

"Well you were the last one to talk to her and you are siblings, has she told you anything?" Shadow said.

Whisk shook his head. "Nope, after I interrupted you two's date she stormed off somewhere. I have no clue where she is, matter of fact, why did you call me out?"

"Because I know that you are lying" Shadow said stuffing his hands in his pockets. "You and I both know that right now Rave is being held in the Admin's Metal Chambers."

Whisk tilted his head in confusion before he realized what he was talking about. "What has news spread about that already, I wonder what she did this time to earn jail time?" He then had a concerned look on his face.

"Something about destroying the Admin's base and taking out a few guards and the facility, if you go by the Barracks part of it is still damaged." Shadow then stared at the boy. "Now tell me, do you think Ravena is capable of that?"

"Of course, she may have not told you guys but she has a certain history." Whisk chuckled, "not to mention Sis isn't exactly delicate, she probably could have blown up the whole Barracks if she wanted to."

"But why would she want to?" Shadow said quietly. "History or not why attack the Guards?"

"Doesn't your guild have a problem with them daily?" Whisk suggested.

"Well we have only just gotten back to Tokyo City so none of us did anything to antagonize the A.G. yet; the only one that did was you in your fight…how did you finish them again?" Shadow asked.

"I just hit a few points and paralyzed them, after that it was easy." Whisk explained.

"Really, you were able to strike pressure points on two Admin Guards using their strongest attacks." Shadow said skeptically. "There are a few things wrong with your explanation."

"What do you mean, you were there." Whisk said.

"Exactly, as someone who uses pressure points, when you hit points the opponent doesn't shriek in pain. Also even if you did hit points it wouldn't have been enough to cancel out the attack unless you know what to hit." Shadow stared into Whisk's eyes, brown meeting red. "Also what happened to the fact that the bodies that were registered dead disappeared suddenly?"

"Maybe I hit them too hard" Whisk joked. "Besides I thought we were talking about Ravena."

"We are; this just happens to be related." A black blur passed by Whisk and his coat opened fluttering in the sudden wind. In Shadow's hand rested a small picture and what looked like a black notebook.

"Now I know for a fact you can't attack pressure points," Shadow showed the picture which displayed Whisk's left eye with a familiar symbol, in his other hand was the notebook. "Geass to control others minds, and a notebook which happens to have the Tweedles names written inside."

Whisk was still silent so Shadow decided to continue. "I don't know what you did with Percival and Gawain but you killed them off with your Death Note, and you used Geass to have Felis attack the Admin Guards base…admit it and I won't have to force it out of you."

Whisk was quiet but he then began to clap his hands softly, he now had a sinister look on his face. "Well nothing gets past you; maybe I shouldn't have used my Geass to have you so early."

"Well I'm usually none trusting of others but for some reason I just didn't like the vibe I was getting from you." Shadow said. "So why plan all of this out, what do you gain for sending your sister to prison?"

Whisk shrugged, "I guess I was a little jealous of all these adventures my sister was having while I was just a wandering fighter…but you wouldn't believe that would you?"

"No and I know someone else who wouldn't believe you either." Shadow said.

"What you mean Ravena; she didn't notice until it was too late sometimes I think she is too trusting." Whisk shook his head. "There was once a time when people heard the initials R.F. that it was feared, now she is just a happy-go-lucky catgirl."

"And why should you care it is her life."

"Her life, wow she really never told you guys anything, don't you know she was…"

"I could care less about what she was before" Whisk was cut off by Shadow's statement. "I could care less about the past; in fact I know my past wasn't that good, Ravena is my friend and a member of my guild so messing with her is the same as messing with me."

"Well that's pretty noble of you; however no matter what you do Ravena will still be carried off to prison and won't ever know about this conversation." Whisk said.

"Are you sure about that?"

After those words left his mouth Whisk finally noticed someone else was listening to the conversation. Ravena flew from the sky and landed on the rooftop next to Shadow.

"How was your day Lil' Brother?" Ravena asked.

Instead of getting worried Whisk just remained calm at the situation. "So you went and busted her out of jail, it is still your word against mine and one is a criminal and the other is now her ally."

Shadow shrugged, "I'm not going to let someone who did nothing wrong rot in jail."

"And you forgot we heard everything you said Whisky." Ravena said.

"Should I be worried about that, the Guards must have noticed the breakout and must be on their way tracking you down Ravena. Even if you two defeat me I still win." Whisk said.

"You really need to listen to your older sister more" Shadow smirked with a knowing look. "She said WE heard everything."

"You think I'm worried about you two?" Whisk asked.

Ravena stuck her tongue out and then smiled. "Who said it was just us two nya?"

"Well this is shocking; I can see how you got me with this ploy now Shadow."

"Honestly are you still sulking about that?"

"Enough arguing, you all heard what has just been said haven't you?"

"Leon is right, we have heard an interesting confession; I believe we owe Ravena Felidae an apology."

Whisk looked all around and saw not just a few Admin Guards, but Speed, Rina, Leon, and Cast as well. Cast stepped a bit forward and looked to Whisk. "Murdering two Admin Guards in cold blood is one offense, but wrongfully framing another is an even bigger one!"

"The bond of family is a strong one and you tried to destroy it" Leon stood next to her. "Regardless, you will be coming with us…your sister has kept your cell nice and warm by filling your spot."

Whisk was now had an irritated look seeing his plan fall apart. 'This is not going according to keikaku…at least I had the rest of Kurotsubasa not log on today but I am still outnumbered. It is time to even the odds.'

Whisk concentrated on Cast and smiled. "Killing in cold blood, who said they were dead?"

"You admitted writing their names in your Death Note, what more reason to expect?" Cast said.

"Oh but they are very much alive and well…in fact" Whisk opened the collar of his white undershirt and showed a tattoo that made Ravena's eyes widen.

"Whisk, you didn't?" Ravena asked.

"Oh but I very much did…now I believe I owe you a few knights." Whisk snapped his fingers and two large objects fell from the sky and landed near him spreading dust. Shadow used his Byakugan to keep track of the Hellsing cosplayer.

"He didn't escape in the dust…wait, why are their two more signatures around him?" Shadow turned to Ravena. "Do you know what he…?" He stopped seeing Ravena was staring wide eyed while holding a hand to her own neck.

"He couldn't have, magic like that is forbidden and he still did it." Ravena muttered out. 'And I can't even call on Punnya either, the lock on my pets are still active.'

"Forbidden magic?" Shadow then saw the dust clear, next to Whisk stood two stone like coffins. The lids began to open and out stepped two figures; a blank eyed Percival and Gawain were standing around the vampire.

"Impossible they are still registered dead!" Rina called out.

"Is that the reanimation jutsu?" Speed asked.

"Oh no, the coffins are just for effects, this is not a jutsu or reanimation…what you are seeing is my power, the magic that was labeled forbidden in this world." Whisk had a demonic smiled.

Necromancy!

The two undead knights drew their swords as Whisk began to back away. "Well I will let friends catch up with each other I have places to go." In surprising speed Whisk was able to grab the Death Note from Shadow's hands and began to jump rooftops.

"Get back here!" Shadow chased after him with Ravena flying after him. The Guards were about to pursue before Speed held them all back. "Let them take care of him, we will deal with the zombies they will be a little hard to kill."

(Scene Change)

Whisk was running towards the edge of the city before a crescent slash blocked his path. He stopped and turned around to see that Shadow and Ravena had caught up to him.

"So you left the Admin to deal with their own; though why did you run after me?" Whisk said.

"Nya Whisk, I know this is bad but I don't want to help you; turn yourself in to the Guards and you'll get a lower sentence." Ravena pleaded to him.

"Touching but no" Whisk opened the Death Note and a pen appeared in his hand. "Since I can't control you both anymore I rather just mark you both down and be on my way."

"I don't think so" Shadow made a sign as soon as ink touched paper. The Death Note ignited in flames causing Whisk to throw it to the ground or risk burning his hand; the book opened as it fell revealing a paper bomb within a page.

"I wasn't going to allow you to get an ace like that easily without having a trap." Shadow pulled out his scythe from his back. "Rave I know he is your brother but if he doesn't stand down I'm taking him out myself."

"Shadow-Kyun please, this isn't like him, Whisk would never…"

"Enough!" Whisk yelled interrupting them. "I rather not have to fight but I don't want to reveal how many other undead I have with me." He got into a basic stance and looked at the two. "All right let's fight, I'll take both of you if you like."

"Why are you hesitating, after all that he has done don't you want a chance at revenge?" Felis shouted in Ravena's head.

'I rather not hurt my own brother, something is wrong and I'm going to find out.' Ravena then saw Shadow's hand in front of her. "Shadow-Kyun?"

"I know you don't want to do this, so stay back and let me handle him." Shadow said.

"Nya, he's my brother…"

"That makes it worse, you don't want to hurt him do you Ravena?" He asked her. Ravena looked down a bit telling Shadow what he needed to know. "I'll take all the guilt for this, so you won't have to."

'Shads' Ravena then nodded and stood back with a light blush. Shadow didn't notice as he discarded the extra weight of his jacket.

"I know for a fact I'm not beating you in raw power, but now you won't be able to touch me." Shadow said before rushing forward.

"We'll see about that!" Whisk responded to Shadow's charge with his own.

Leon blocked Gawain's blade as he saw the other guards having trouble with the two. Being reanimated corpses meant they no longer felt pain and they could keep going unlike the human guards.

"We need a way to end his magic; we can't wait for Kurotsubasa to finish this." Leon said.

"I agree Leon could you back away." Cast then had two blades appear in her hands. One sword was white while the other was black and had dragon symbols of opposite color on each sword.

"I know what you're thinking cousin and I'm right there with you." Rina pulled out a naginata with a red phoenix symbol edged in the steel blade.

"Cast you can't be…" Leon had to push the zombified knight away and look at her.

"Leon I gave you an order, please follow them." Cast said. Leon didn't like it but did as he was ordered and backed away. Before the two guards could mount an attack the two Admins had already appeared behind them ready.

Starlight Cross!

Rina's naginata filled with light energy and slashed through Percival's armor. A cross shape slashed appeared on the steel and the spread over the knight making him burst into glittering light.

Cast was involved in a duel with the green haired Gawain; light and darkness flowed through the dual swords as the Admin began to overwhelm her target. A slash sent him back as Cast pointed with both swords and fired a beam of twilight energy.

Moonlight Beam!

The attack pierced through the armor and left a hollow hole through Gawain. The broken warrior dropped to his knees then hit the ground before bursting into data. As the other guards stood in awe Rina decided to check on the two guards.

"He no longer has control over those two guards; they will come back as good as new tomorrow." Rina announced.

"That's one piece of good news, I wonder if he is the cause behind the attack on the guards throughout FFW." Cast wondered.

"Regardless we still have a criminal to apprehend." Speed reminded them all. "Let us hope those two managed to slow him down."

Shadow dodged to the left to avoid a fist to the chest; he went for an overhead strike with his scythe only for Whisk to back away. The vampire continued to deliver punches only for Shadow dodged and weave through them; Ravena was watching as they seemed to battle to a stalemate.

"Nya both are equally good, Whisky can't even hit Shadow and he's strong enough to endure anything Shadow tries." Ravena said as she observed the battle; inside her Felis seemed to disagree.

"Please, right now the idiot is toying with your brother; he is trying to get a feel for his style. Shadow is used to fighting someone with similar powers as Whisk so I don't know why he is still playing around." Felis said.

'I don't think he's playing nya.' Felidae said back to her other half.

By now Shadow had ducked to avoid another punch. He suddenly let go of the pole of his scythe to deliver a twin palm thrust to Whisk's legs. The vampire stumbled a bit and then met with a few more gentle-fist marks to the chest.

Whisk felt his body numbing as he slowly backed away from Shadow. 'I should have known he would have tried something like that, the battle up till now was to see what kind of openings I had.'

"In a few minutes you won't be able to move, just give up." Shadow said. "As fun as it is teaching you a lesson you're expected back to jail; the Admin have finished off your zombies."

Whisk laughed. "Well it seems that I've lost, Princess won't like to hear this."

"Princess?" Shadow asked.

"Is this girl the one making you do this?" Ravena asked.

"Well all of this is my plan, which would explain why it ended up exploding near the end; she definitely won't be happy to hear I failed, but she will be more unhappy that I ended up getting caught and arrested." Whisk said to the two.

"This Princess wouldn't happen to be…?" Shadow asked.

"Now that would be telling but I bet you know who she is huh Shads?" Whisk smirked.

Ravena then thought back to the Tournament, "Bringers of Destruction, and Kusanagi nya."

Whisk didn't say anything but his smile grew; Shadow was about to advance when all of a sudden a rift seems to appear behind Whisk. The vampire continued to look at them as the portal grew. "Like I said I have to go but at least now you better be on your toes, don't forget you have a lot of enemies Shadow."

Shadow just glared as he saw Whisk walk into the portal, Ravena was about to stop him before the rift vanished taking her brother with it. The Neko sighed before turning to Shadow.

"He may not seem like it now but he really is a good person nya, I hope whatever happened didn't affect him in the real world." Ravena said in a hopeful voice.

"The only thing those guys can produce right now are comas, I'm sure he is still fine." Shadow heard noise and saw the Admin had now arrived.

"So you let him get away." Speed stated rather than asked.

"You try stopping a force of nature, anyway he's gone but can't you guys track him as soon as he gets online?" Shadow asked them.

"No he must have a way of blocking himself from being found." Rina said as she attempted to search for him. "We'll find him one of these days."

"Still I am sorry you got mixed up in all of this." Cast apologized.

"It's all right nya, though can you please remove the block from my items." Ravena asked.

Cast nodded and began to work with Rina to restore the nekomata's equipment. Said girl turned back to Shadow as they stared in the direction of the rift.

"So how did you find out about her?" Shadow asked.

"Back when you were ambushed by Team Destiny I was there when they were talking about it nya, I didn't have time to talk to you as we had the Tournament and then CHAOS to worry about." Ravena explained.

"I shouldn't have kept it that much of a secret anyway" Shadow said. "I'll tell you and the others something I should have said before tomorrow."

"Ok, I may be late as I want to check on Lil Bro, it has been a long day." Ravena then heard a ding and opened her menu to see that everything was working. In a pink flash Punnya appeared and flew to her owner in worry.

"Punnya" Punnya said sadly.

"I'm fine Punnya, though I hope Whisky is the same." Ravena said. Shadow saw the two interact and opened his menu.

"Ravena I think it is best if we log out, I'll see you tomorrow." He was about to press the log out button.

"Wait" Shadow stopped and saw Ravena giving him a genuine smile. "Thanks Shadow-Kyun, for all that you did today."

Shadow turned his head so that she couldn't see the small blush on his face. "Don't worry about it, good night." In a flash Shadow had disappeared signaling his exit.

Ravena nodded before she vanished and then hugged Punnya. "Well I guess I'll log out and check on bro."

Kusanagi's Castle

Whisk hit the polished floor of the throne room after he arrived. Before he could sit up a foot slammed on his head forcing him back down.

"Now who said you can get up, coming back here after you failed you have got some guts kid." The man said.

"Hey I didn't come here, one of you called me back." Whisk protested.

"Wow and the back talk too, I wonder what those guts would look like after I cut them out." Slit green eyes shined a mischievous glow.

"Mugen that is enough, I called him back here with the rift so let him off the floor." Kusanagi said as she entered the room. The resurrected man did as she said as he took his foot away and lazily help Whisk to his feet.

"Just want him to know to expect punishment for his failure."

"Yes and I will be the one who decides it, now be gone…you have some projects to work on that I want to see results." Kusanagi told him. Mugen nodded and then left the room, Kusanagi then walked to Whisk who was now wiping the blood from his head.

"Sorry Princess, I guess I should have planned better ahead." Whisk apologized.

"Never you mind, you actually ended up doing me a favor." Kusanagi said.

"A favor" Whisk repeated.

"You showed Shadow how far my powers have extended up to now, soon my sister will have gotten word and may be forced to come out of hiding." Kusanagi explained.

"Even if your sister did, aren't you technically trapped here?" Whisk asked his answer came as a sly smirk from the destructive leader.

"Oh I have a plan for that as well, for now you can stay and rest; I cannot have my best warrior weakened while I have work to be done." Kusanagi answered.

"Best warrior, I thought I was still low in the deck." Whisk said.

"You are in need of a promotion though after this setback I can't exactly have you as one of the faces. For now you are a ten, until you can break the mold and show me results." Kusanagi said.

"As you wish Princess."

Scene Change

Somewhere in the real world Ravena removed her neko visor. The girl was about to look for her brother until she saw him at the door of her room.

"Oh I was about to get you, dinner is about to start." Whisk said.

"Ok, hey Whisk do you remember what happened in FFW today?" Ravena asked him.

"What do you mean, you were probably hanging with your friends again; I'm in a small town a mile from Coastal Port. Why did something happen?" Whisk asked.

Ravena sighed in relief that her brother was all right. "No it's all right, come on let's eat." Her brother nodded and they both went to meet the rest of their family with Ravena looking into Whisk's room seeing his visor on the floor.

'No matter what Whisk, you are still my brother.' Ravena thought as she caught up with him.
