Chapter Five: Drago's Secret Plan Revealed
Black's POV
One swing of a blade, and you could have a war brought upon you in the blink of an eye. But this isn't war. This is a mere battle between me and the undead. I stood in the middle of the grassy field, staring blankly at the wide open cave with nothing but emptiness, feeling the harsh wind batter my being head on, causing my darkened attire and jet black hair to dance in it's influence. I wore a strange miniskirt that felt like it embedded itself into my skin, feeling like it was connected with me in a weird way.
Two small black ribbons made of black fabric with white, edges. They hung down from either side of me, reached up to as far as my knees. My top was no other than a shirt that was as black as dusk but was as white as snow on the shoulder area. My hair was left as it was except for the front side. Black, blade-like strands of hair covered parts of my let eye and forehead, giving me a hostile, dangerous expression. I wore a plain white undershirt from underneath my black one for warmth and due to the fact that I can't even bare to wear a bra. On my back, was my blade, hidden and kept inside of a jet black, metallic case. The blade and case are not the ordinary. They won't separate unless I'M the one who does so.
On my feet, I wore light grey running shoes instead of boots due to how comfortable they are when compared with other types of footwear. The only thing that bothered me, were the long, silky smooth, glossy socks that reached mid thigh. Their colour shared the same name as mine and felt really damn right. Like they were intended to starve them from oxygen in order for them to react and manoeuvre more efficiently... Argh... But White was the one who hand crafted it for me, then I'm proud to wear it... Damn...
"Black! If you get killed, then I'm gonna kill you!", White called out from my far right, making me smile warmly as a beat of wind slapped my face once again, irritating my eyes the slightest which caused them to water up to sooth them.
"Come on Black! You can do it!", Star exclaimed, enlightening the serious mood with her words and the way she said it.
"You can do it sis!", Frost called from behind...
I can do this... My powers are still present and I know how to hold a blade... Let's do this!
At that very moment, a whole choir of zombie-like groans and moans emitted from within the deep, jet black cave that inflicted anxiety and fear into my very bloodstream. The ground trembled slightly, feeling like a small earthquake was taking place from underneath us. Ok... I stared dead ahead, seeing at least fifty five zombies slowly emerge from within the blinding darkness of the grey stone cave, all having their mind on nothing else BUT me... This should be interesting! I'll be able to shed blood after the first time with no regret WHATSOEVER! Haha!
Slowly, I raised my right arm high behind my head, curling my fingers tightly around the charcoal black handle of my blade. It's texture was smooth yet had amazing grip. The instant desire to kill and shed blood began to pump throughout my veins as my heart pumped me full of adrenaline and oxygen, making me smile widen by a quarter of an inch. Sluggishly, the hoard of the undead revealed themselves from within the darkness of the cave and out into the sunlight. A dozen were equipped with gold helmets while others had some fashionable hard leather, brown boots that seemed to slow them down a little. Nevertheless, that armour won't make a difference against my blade... After all, I'll be slicing and dicing their necks, not their head...
I grit my teeth, holding out my blade in both my hands tightly as I ran up towards the massive hoard of the undead. My body ached slightly to my sudden movements but I shook it off, not wanting anything to interfere with me and my battle. I planted my feet onto the short, light green grass and immediately crouched, just avoiding a lethal swing of a dark green arm that would've taken my head right off my body. Gritting my teeth, I quickly sprung back up, erecting myself before spinning around clockwise, completely slicing through the zombies necks like a hot knife through butter. This power... This strength! I feel so... No... I feel like I've done this before... Their blood sprinkled in the air like suspending raindrops of dark red accompanied with their soulless heads that too, suspended just above their limp bodies. Haha! The blood! Yes! I smiled uncannily, spinning once again, killing another four zombies with that attack as their heads and bodies toppled to the ground, feeding the plants with their life energy instead of their tears... Ahahaha! Why am I enjoying this so much!? Am I a sadist!? Am I going insane!?...
I leaped backwards, landing on my feet once again and skidded a good three meters on the green, bloodstained grass that exploded into confetti all around me, giving me an intimidating look... my eyes widened, my body heated up and my mind embarked on this thrill ride of pleasure. Why... Am I feeling like this!? This blood is making me... so... argh! No! I have to keep my mind! I can't go insane like before!...
"WHAT!?", I heard Frost exclaim from my right with pure shock and horror for an unknown reason, causing me to blink blankly and snap out of my mental trance that would've dragged me down to insanity for good. Slowly, I turned my head to the right, staring at my twin brother who was amongst the awe-filled crowd, staring at me with widened eyes and hung mouths like what they saw was completely out of this world. I didn't know whether it was the fact that I was killing them with ease or if it was the WAY I did so... Or maybe its because of my figure and my skirt CONSTANTLY lifting up to my waist, exposing my black, short-like underwear to the world... Dammit... My face turned a bright red to the immediate thought, causing me to choke on the air for a fixed second just before Frost suddenly rushed up to me at full speed, staring down at my Night's Melody... "Black! Get ready!", He warned, rushing up to me. I just gazed at him, wondering what was going on before all of a sudden, the ground shook and the source felt like it was up ahead, causing me to instantly face the front...
I grit my teeth as hard as stones, bracing myself as the ground continued to tremble like there was something burrowing underneath us... Something... Suddenly, once the shaking reached it's climax, it stopped abruptly, leaving me very wary and dizzy. I took an uneasy step back, releasing my blade with my left hand as my right flopped back down to my side, the tip of my blade touching the light green grass.
"Hua...Hua...Hua...", Frost panted from my right, the crunching of the grass approached me before it stopped suddenly. He placed his left hand onto my right shoulder, leaning on me as he caught his breath, staring at the hoard of zombies like they were the only evil left in this world. "What... Was... Thaaaatt...", He panted, breathing EXTREMELY loudly and filling the nearby air with his somewhat minty and fruity breath.
I opened my mouth, ready to say something but I suddenly entered a state of shock as the ground not eight meters away suddenly sprouted upwards, sending chunks of dark brown soil into the air which created a deep, hideous haze that blinded us momentarily. I raised my right hand in front of my face, pulling it high above my head, the tip pointing straight up into the sky and immediately sent a downwards slice, regaining back my composure. The haze blasted off to the left and right, swirling around like tidal waves before dissipating into nothing but the very thin, contaminated air that smelt like fungus and moss... My eyes widened as bright as day to what I saw before me... Something that I've killed twice. Once back in the games with my bare hands and the other with Mindy in the Realm of Insanity... Gravedigger!
"WHAT THE FUCK!? DIDN'T THAT THING DIE TWICE ALREADY!?", I heard Chaos scream out at the top of his lungs from behind me as a melody of the grass crunching like potato chips soothed my ears and made me feel more confident than afraid... It towered up to at least twenty meters high, staring down at us with it's head hanging down, saliva dripping from out of it's jaw that held hundreds of thousands of glistening, sharp teeth as the centre of it all was nothing but blackness... This time, it had eyes all over it's body... Eyes that looked demonic. They only exhibited a dark black pupil that was as small as a fist, intimidating not only me, but everyone else...
"R...RUN! Everyone run!", Someone exclaimed, breaking the suspenseful silence, creating a chain of devastation and screams. All of the villagers began screaming for their lives, causing me to cringe and grunt to how painful the noise truly was. It was complete chaos. Children began crying, mother's would scream and the men would dish out orders, trying to ensure their safety... This bastard... This worm... What's with it!?... And why are it's pupils all staring at me like I'm the only one visible to it... Dammit... Why do I feel like it's here only for me and not for anyone else?
"Black! Whatever you do, do NOT touch it!", Drago exclaimed in a gruff, deep voice that made me jolt up in electricity as those words sunk into my mind... I knew it!
"Why! What's going to happen to her!?", White asked in horror and worry.
"You too. It's not the Gravedigger you guys know. It's someone's pet!", Drago explained, causing my eyes to widen upon hearing that... Pet? Does he mean...
"How on this fucking continent did someone even tame something like that!?", Star yelled in a worried, frightened tone that got me wondering... How on earth DID someone get that... Wait.
"Guys! Do you remember Coal!?", I called out, managing to get a spark of that small memory from a year ago.
"What about him!?", Chaos asked just as the hideous creature snorted out one of it's signature green slimes filled with corrosive substances down right at us from it's disgusting, uncanny mouth filled with anguish and death. "Watch out!".
I grit my teeth, quickly jumping backwards along with the others. I skidded slightly on my feet, still looking up at the creature that knew no mercy nor any forgiveness... That thing... I remember who owns it!
"Coal owns that thing!", I cried.
"EH!?", Frosty said in confusion and utter shock to what I had just said.
"And if it's here, then that means that he is too!", I explained with a feminine yell, turning a slight red due to embarrassment.
"We have to take it out then! Black, White, you two stay back and we'll do the re-", Before Sino could even finish off her sentence, my vision turned to nothing but red. Then, after a loud thud and a mixture of people screaming out my name, all went white... Then, after a good five seconds of nothing but emptiness... All went black... Was I hit on the head?... Or did I simply collapse?... No... I feel like I'm not in the plains anymore... I feel more like I'm inside... of my own home... The one in the coma...
"I'm sorry Black, White, Frost, Sino and Chaos... But it's for the best that you five venture out on your own away from us... Far, far away from the place where Black and White will die at moment's notice... The Colour Academy...", Was the last thing I heard... It sounded like Drago... Only he said it in a calming, peaceful whisper... Like he regretted it...
"What happened to the logic of DDLL?", Someone asked.
"Ah, Dark, Death, Life, Light. From what I know, no", Someone with the same voice as Drago replied...
"Hmm. Are you sure that this is a good idea? I mean, throwing these five into the human capital city?".
"Yes, I'm certain about this... Very, very certain...", The voice that sounded like Drago said, trailing off before saying something again... My vision was blanked out to nothing but blackness, I could begin to feel the soft, comfortable texture of what seemed to be a bed that I had my left side on... I tried desperately to move my arms and legs but to no avail... I...I'm tied up... A...Ah... I tried to say something but I just couldn't... Am I too afraid?
"She's awake? That's surprising even From a girl such as Black Heart. Say, Drago, have you ever wondered who she really is as a person? When I first had my glance on her after I force-changed her with a potion, I imagined her to be someone savage and uncaring due to the fact that she's Black Heart... But, she gave me forgiveness the moment she killed me. Anyway, let's get back on topic"... T...T...That's Coal!? What does HE know about me!? All he ever wanted to do with me was make me a trophy to show off to the world, proclaiming his victory that he had conquered me... That's who he was...
"Mhm. That Coma you put her in was a good move, Forsheer. I'm glad that you're on our side", Drago said... EH!? What!? Impossible... This is a dream! A nightmare!
"She's listening to every word we're saying. Should we do something about her?", Another voice asked, sounding rather ghastly and kingly. "It'd be bad for her to know this...".
"Don't worry. I trust her..."... Why'd my heart beating so fast... Thump, Thump. Thump, Thump... "She's been there already tho. In her so called 'Coma'... But this is not only for her sake, but for the entire continent's sake. Why don't we just tell her the plan?".
"You sure that's a good idea?", Coal asked weirdly.
"No... We need her to be unaware of what this world is becoming of. For now, let's just tell her that her and four of her friends will be going to the Human Zone while the others stay at the Colour Academy..."... Separation?... But why?
At that moment, I went unconscious from what I had heard... The Human Zone... That's where I was in my coma... That's where I saw everyone... But now, it's only a handful... But why do I have to go there... Suddenly, an image of an abnormal, shimmering star flashed before my eyes, then, a picture of a blue, energy bullet... Wait... Blue... I think I know...
The Colours are IN the Human Zone. And we're either going to hunt them down, or bait them towards us. I'm understanding...

Colour Plane
Black... Black... Black...
"Why is that colour so fond to me?", I thought to myself, staring off into the horizon of colours, seeing the ambient blue hue fill my gaze with awe to how beautiful it truly is. But it doesn't compare to black... In the distance, I could see a small castle. A castle made of blue emeralds and diamonds, shining and glistening in the orange sun, causing it to sparkle like the ocean... "Blue... I will go in there and give blue my hand to save her from corruption... If she refuses... Then I have no choice", I thought.
She'll die by my hand... And I'll make her say my name...
