Chapter Thirty: Rescue Mission

Black's POV
A thousand thanks to White for saving me last night from the evil clutches of Star and Melody! But it wasn't enough to make Star keep her promise to the fullest... Haha! Too bad she can't come and save me from those two tag-teaming against me in a sword fight!

Today, White decided that she should go out shopping for some groceries and to check out a new shop that her friends wouldn't stop telling her about. I think it was called... Let's see... 'Dawn's Blood'? Well, I don't really know. But it sounds really damn sketchy. Like it's some sort of evil bar filled with demons and restless spirits...

"HEADS UP!", Sino exclaimed as she observed us, particularly me from the right of our grassy battlefield that smelt freshly cut and felt good on my exposed, soft skin.

I blinked, watching Star send one hell of a lunge straight towards my face which caused my eyes to widen as I immediately twisted my body to face the right. Her sharp, light pink rapier passed by my face, seeing my own two colourful eyes being reflected by the smooth surface of her circular blade... Without a second to lose, I ducked down to my knees, extending my right foot out as I spun and attempted to knock her off her feet, only did she avoid it with perfect timing with a nice jump that caused me to blush furiously hard the moment a flash of pink burnt itself into my mind. Argh!

I rolled backwards via my instincts, just avoiding a side kicked made by her. Harshly, I scraped my back and head against the soft grass right before I skidded a good metre back on my feet, holding my blade as tight as ever in my lone right hand.

"Eat this!", Melody yelled from far behind Star, inflicting paranoia into my bloodstream the moment I heard the shattering of glass emit from dead ahead.

At once, a light green, glowing arrow came whizzing straight towards me at the speed of sound as ripples surrounded it mid-flight. Just like a bullet! Only larger and slower! Reeling my right hand far behind me, I let it loose and sent a devastating, super fast slice to the arrow, causing it to shatter into a million pieces of crystals as a loud, horrific tune screeched from it. I grit my teeth, jumping back as my ears folded themselves on top of my head, afraid of the noise whilst Star rushed me like a speeding bullet, ready to send another lunge straight for my chest...

Damn... I guess I'll have to go a little harder on these two! Melody's playing dirty with long ranged attacks and Star's using her magic to boost her speed tremendously... Guess I'll have to do the same!

Channelling my black energy through my right hand, I infused my blade with a small fraction of magic, allowing it to become as light as a feather and as sharp as an electron. She's going down!

I slashed her blade out of the way with the flick of my sword, spinning around afterwards as three arrows were fired directly at me, only to be avoided miraculously. My hair danced and swayed in the air surrounding me as Star stumbled backwards, feeling her right hand far behind her in another attempt to stab me as ANOTHER three arrows were fired.

I slashed it out of the way again, dropping down to my knees before I kicked her right off her legs all in one smooth motion. Helplessly, she fell flat on her back, winding her which made me smile upon looking down at her pitiful, beautiful face of defeat... Now for Melody!

"Damn you!", Melody cried, forming a magic circle in front of her shining, light green crystal magical bow. The circle hovered in front of it, pulsating with charged energy as another circle formed in front of it. Then another... They all began spinning, beginning to glow more vividly with every passing second before ultimately, they came to a climax. Before my very eyes, a thousand arrows were fired through the circle like a Gatling gun. I guess I have no choice... Since arrows aren't stronger than bullets nor energy bullets, this poses no threat towards me. ESPECIALLY since I have my sword charged with magic right now! "Let's see you survive this!"... Is she trying to kill me?!

"Not if I can help it!", I cried, dashing straight into the barrage of arrows as time seemed to slow down dramatically for me, allowing me to easily maneuver my way through the storm of death. I hacked and slashed and arrow that stood in my way as I dodged the rest of them, jumping from side to side, up down and even spinning. It was almost as if I was dancing to it... The rhythm of the battle!

"Impossible!", Melody gasped in fright, backing away as the circle of light dissipated into a million crystal fragments, sparkling like rain during a sunset. "You can dodge these too?!".

"These aren't as fast as bullets!", I exclaimed, rushing the few final metres up to her with my jet black blade held diagonally in front of my chest, ready to take her head on. "And they're much more larger then them!".

I stopped in my tracks, locking my foot into the grassy earth with all the strength I could muster as I held my blade to her neck, sliding my left hand behind her. It rested nicely on her lower back, feeling her amazing warmth as we stared into each other's eyes deeply... She blushed hard, trembling in both shock and fear before she closed her eyes and inched her face a little closer to mine, slightly gaping her lips... Her warm, apple-scented breath took me by surprise as I realised just what situation we were in...

"E...Eh?!", Star gasped as Sino blankly stared at us from the right, completely unable to comprehend what I was doing... Damn...

"B...Black?!" Sino exclaimed in shock and fear...

"Why didn't you do execute me the same way?!", Star complained in anger, causing me to hum in confusion and embarrassment before I immediately released her from my deathly grasp... Argh!...

"T...This isn't what it looks like!", I yelled, tightening my grip on the handle of my blade as I blankly looked around, looking at the three who stared back with strange facial expressions... Damn... Not even Sino wants to believe me!

"Frost!", A voice called for me from my far right, in the direction of the massive mansion where we lived in. Blinking once, I stared off into the distance to see my sister running to us with frightening speed similar to Mindy's. I wonder what she wants. "Emergency! Frost! White's been taken hostage inside of the shopping centre!", She screamed... My eyes widened, my heart dropped as my blood cooled like the icy waters of the arctic, instantly inducing one hell of a painful lust for blood... Dammit... I can't go insane! Never!

"Shit! Black! We're going!", Sino grunted in anger, staring at my sister as my sister gave her a very curious look... Hmm? It's almost as if she has never seen a real life gun or an army veteran-

"I... Is that real?!", Lizzo cried, stopping in her immediate tracks as she pointed directly at Sino. Sino blinked, putting on a now friendly face as she turned back to me. I shook my head for her to say no.

Sino sighed, turning back and gave her the answer. "No. It's just a prop"... Phew...

"What's this injection for?", I asked Serenity as she handed me a small syringe filled with a chrome coloured fluid that looked extremely viscous and somewhat sticky.

"Magic. It's a booster for your magic, physical and mental capabilities. For starters, you'll have a form before reaching insanity. I've given one to the others already, but your one is specially designed for your traits... Traits?... "Use it as soon as you get your clothes on. Just make sure you use it to it's maximum potential..."... I'm coming White!

White's POV
A...Ack! What do these people want from me?! I grit my teeth, tensing myself as I kneeled down in front of their so called 'leader' with blood drooling out of my mouth and nose... I couldn't do anything. Not even say a word as they literally have my life in their hands... Dawn's Blood... I should know better than to wander straight into a suspicious place...

"So, White is it?", Their female leader asked as she smirked at me, striking a very feminine pose as she placed both her hands onto her hips. I stared up at her, glaring my white, bloodstained teeth at her as my eyes fought with her dark purple ones. "Not gonna answer? Hehe. But I don't mind that. I hope you stay that way for the remainder of the trip. The Overlords will reward me with so much once I hand you over", She said... No... NO! I don't wanna!... "I love seeing those tears trickle down the faces of girls like yourself... Just like the other Colours we've kidnapped. But Don't worry, the Overlords won't harm you one bit. You should know that they're if anything, your allies...". I can't listen to another word she says! Please, someone come rescue me!

"Ma'am! We have an intruder! Requesting to neutralise!", A solider said via radio communication to the woman, giving me a spark of hope that eased my mind and soul... Someone's coming...

"Kill them immediately", She simply said and at once, a barrage of gunfire sounded from above us in a muffled manner. In three seconds flat, all gunshots ceased dramatically as the man spoke once again on the radio that was strapped to her left shoulder.

"Kill confirmed, going to check the body"... No... "It's a young girl with surprisingly black, long hair tied into a long pony tail. She's also wearing a short black skirt with long black socks reaching up to her thighs. Overall, she looks like she was a civilian"... How could they...

"Interesting. Get the crew to clean up her-".

"What the hell! Open fire! OPEN FIRE! She's still alive! Don't let her come near you! AAHHHHH-"... Is that... Black?!

Black's POV
I ran through the white corridor, hacking and slashing at the blazing hailstorm of bullets that bombarded me relentlessly. I danced to the rhythm of the battle, twisting and turning as I predicted every single shot. Right in front of me, were four

men, each barraging me with bullets, making me smile as I prepared myself to send one hell of slice to take them all out in one move. This attire is fucking great! No sarcasm intended! Haha!

I slid down onto my butt, using the slippery surface of my black long socks to easily reach them without having to worry about the bullets. With one fatal swipe, my blade exited all of their knees like a hot knife through butter as their blood splattered all over me, painting me in their glorious crimsons of life. I smirked, flushing a light shade of red as the warmth of their blood pleasured me in so many ways... Haha! This injection is the BEST!

Their screams of agony echoed far behind me as I continued to run down the corridor without any strains in my stamina. My footsteps were loud and as clear as day, making it easy for the enemies to notice me. I skidded across the ground on my feet, taking a sharp right turn into a decent of stairs that I leapt over, landing like a meteorite on the cold hard grey concrete floor as I bent my knees to absorb most of the shock. A bright flash of light blinded me momentarily, forcing me to grit my teeth painfully whilst I smiled uncannily like a possessed individual.

My eyes quickly readjusted themselves to the new lighting, allowing me to see what was ahead of me. Two heavily locked, light grey metal doors. Haha! Let's give them a taste of magic!

White's POV
"Ahhh!", I cried, tears pouring down my soft silky white cheeks as I tightly shut my eyes, unable to bare with the pain introduced into my very system. My arms were tied behind my back with razor sharp barbed wire, slicing my delicate flesh over and over. The woman held me by the hair, holding me off the ground as I clamped my teeth like vices. "Stop...", I moaned in agony, hearing something 'squish' from right in front of me.

"Your face when you're in pain is priceless! I could sell you and own half of this continent!", She said, swaying me to the right before tossing me onto a hard, cold surface. My eyes shot open, welcomed with the gruesome sight of a blood stained, stale seat of a white car whilst something near the back of my head made beating noises... I cried even more. My wrists have been sliced by the wire cleanly and my veins are touching the edge of the sharp steel... "Let's go! Fred! Feed the girl the heart!"... W...W...What?! "Head to the bridge! We have business to take care of"...

"Ma'am! We're supposed to head south, not west!", Someone yelled.

"Oh... Is that so? Well too bad. The Overlords can go die! I'm keeping her for my own sake! C'mon boys! We're going to take over this city!"... No... Black!

Black's POV
Dammit! They're already on the fucking run! I looked around the car park, trying as hard as I can to find a vehicle I can use to pursue White's kidnappers. Upon looking a bit more harder, I found one. A motorcycle! As fast as I can, I sprinted towards it, visualising my blade becoming a handgun as I held dearly onto the handle of my Night's Melody. There was nobody around, thankfully, allowing me to easily steal this ride. I hopped on, grasping onto the black, carbon fibre handles of the jet black bike as my blade quickly transformed itself into a handgun resembling my favourite, the M1911. No law can contain me anymore! Especially when someone's life is on the line!

"Sino! Do you see them?!", I asked in desperation, putting the pedal to the metal, reeling my wrists backwards to start up the roaring engine, forming a small smile to form across my blood soaked face. Before I knew it, I rode out with lighting speed, turning right as I headed for the exit without any hesitation whatsoever. My blood cooled, my mind blanked out at various times during the short distance I covered as pure excitement took over my very body. Haha! If I were still in my normal state, then I'd be spewing all over the place!

"Yes! Turn right after you exit the car park and follow the road!", Sino said. Alright. Right then follow the road!

Climbing up the small slope of the exit, the sun's gaze blinded me momentarily, cooking everything I saw into a bright yellow colour as I managed to readjust my eyes. I crossed an intersection on a red light, causing a whole parade of cars to beep their horns at me as I took a right turn, leaning to the right. My hair danced gracefully behind me as the air beat against my face like drums, broadening my smile much more uncannily.

I dashed past the cars, speeding on the third lane as cars from the lane directly to my right raced past me in the opposing direction, sending amazing surges of wind to blast my body. Far ahead, past three massive, white cargo trucks filled with loads, I spotted the white vehicle that zoomed past all the other cars and buses like they owned the streets. I need catch up!

"Sino, do you have visual on the car?", I asked, moving to the middle lane, speeding past a car in front of me and moved back to the right to overtake them.

"Yes! They're heading for the bridge up ahead! Oh, you have company! Black cars six o'clock!", Sino warned me, making me glance over my shoulder to see a jet black car filled with five men in black suits follow me, each holding a weapon from what I could see. Haha! Things have gotten interesting!

"Got it!". I looked straight ahead, slumping forwards onto the front lump of the motorbike as gunshots were fired from behind me, causing me to make a swift turn to the right, entering the opposing lane where many cars came speeding towards me, forcing me to avoid them at all costs as the men in black were now parallel to me on the left. I leaned over to the right with the bike, swiftly avoiding a dark green car to be at the mercy of a honking semi-trailer. Gritting my teeth and clenching tightly onto the handles and my handgun, I pointed it at the driver of the semi trailer, instantly making him swiftly turn to the right as I safely moved to the left, staring at the black vehicle that contained my pursuers. Dammit! One man leaned out of the window of the car, holding a full automatic Uzi in both his hands, aiming directly at me. I groaned, hating the unfairness of the current situation as I watched and heard his bullet explode out of the gun via an exothermic reaction within the chamber of the gun... Argh! I'm going to have to do the impossible then! I fired my bullet at his own bullet, stopping them both in their tracks as he held down the trigger, spraying me with a barrage of lethal lead.

I decreased my speed, allowing all the bullets to pass by my face by mere inches before I accelerated back up to the side of their car. He pulled out the magazine, instantly making me smile as I aimed my handgun to his head and pulled the trigger, killing both him AND the driver. The car suddenly turned to the left, smashing into another vehicle as I turned to the right to avoid a yellow truck filled with coal, hearing it's ear-pleasing honks motivate me to catch up to the white, roofless car that held White in it... I won't let her down! And I won't go down without a fight!

"Are they at the bridge yet?", I asked Sino.

"Yes! They've stopped! On the middle of the bridge! I've shot down most of them but they're hiding behind the car. You'll have to go there yourself. Oh and also, be careful! I saw something massive move in the water!", Sino stated... I guess I'm on my own then! Just wait White! I'll be there!

There's the bridge! I accelerated even more, returning back to the left, normal lane as I speeded up towards the bridge where a traffic jam occurred... I need to get to White!

Swiftly, I pulled the silver handle breaks of the bike, forcing it to come to a steady stop before I jumped off, landing hard on my feet before rushing to the right side of the bridge where the pedestrian walk way was located. Cars, buses and trucks ran their horns on me like an orchestra, making me smile as I continued my way towards the walkway. I vaulted over a silver, spotless steel handlebar to the side of the walkway, landing straight in as I forced my handgun to become a sword again, springing towards the white car that was no more than a good fifteen metres away...

"There's movement in the water again!", Sino exclaimed, but I ignored her as all I could think of was the safety of White. My footsteps were loud and clear, my heart raced against time as I came to a complete stop, drilling my feet into the hard concrete, turning to the left to see White, looking up at me weakly with a faint smile plastered across her face... She rested her back against the car's front tire whilst a few people surrounded her, checking the car to find the source of the problem as well as looking after a few other people...

"You came...", She whispered meekly, blinking weakly at me as She raised her right hand to try to reach for me... My eye widened. My pupils contracted and I felt the urge to kill burn like wildfire inside of my heart the moment I saw the blue and red wires of her life exposed to the cruel air of the outside world... Blood stained her entirely, chunky bits of meat sprinkled around her mouth like she ate something raw and bloody... I seethed my blade onto my back as fast as possible, gritting my teeth as sadness overcame me like a bullet-storm.

I vaulted over the bar, landing in front of her and fell down to my knees, grasping onto her face with both my hands as I felt her hand softly press itself against my right cheek... Her eyes were stained with blood. Her white hair shot red and her beautiful attire resembled a costume straight out of a slaughter film... Why her?... She didn't do anything to deserve this kind of punishment! If there's someone who deserves this, it's me!

She shivered, vibrating very lightly as tears trickled down her eyes and onto my hands. I shuffled closer to her with my knees, feeling the back of my eyes swell with tears as I held them in and grit my teeth,

staring deeply into her eyes with sadness...

"White... Who did... This to you?", I asked with edge, softly rubbing her soft cheeks, wiping off some of the blood and meat that stuck to face like glue. Her lowered her rift hand away from my face and placed it onto my left thigh softly, leaning a bit closer towards me as the other people stared at us with broadened eyes...

"You... Know the unknown race... It was... Them...", She trembled, coughing blood onto my face, burning up my insides as I shuffled much more closer to her, quickly letting go of her head and wrapped her body with my arms, holding White tightly against my body.

"Why?... Why?! What did you ever do?!", I exclaimed, grasping onto her damp, bloodied shirt from behind with my fists as I slowly felt her arms wrap around me whilst she trembled due to the lack of blood she had...

"I don't know... Maybe it was for a reason...", She whispered into my ear as she dug her face into the left of my neck, rubbing her face. I held back my tears, never allowing them to fall less I want to go insane for the sheer amount of sadness I'd receive from doing so.

"You're losing so much blood, White... What's happened to you?", I cringed, holding her even more tightly... Suddenly, from out of the blue, I felt something warm and slimy slither against my neck, causing my eyes to broaden... It was her tongue...

"I'm sorry Black... They forced me to eat something forbidden... And now I have to pay the price... Please forgive me", She whispered, sounding somewhat demonic... Huh?

"What do you me-Ahh!", I cried as I felt her teeth sink into the delicate flesh of my neck, causing tears to immediately flee from my eyes as she held me like set cement... I couldn't move. I was too weak and too scared to do so... She was sucking my blood... A lot of it. And what's even more frightening, is her blood also entered my bloodstream... She pushed me down onto my back against the ground, still sucking my blood as I glanced at her hair to notice that all the blood had disappeared into nothingness... She's... A vampire?... How... Ack! It's painful if I even move an inch!... I'm blacking out! I'm blacking out!... Ahh! Dammit! She's sucking me dry! I can't move! My heart hurts! Ahhh!...

"Police! Put your hands up behind your head! Both of you! Minor carrying weapons?! What kind of a game do you two think this is?!", A man exclaimed, giving me a fright as my mind nearly broke into insanity... Luckily, I was able to hold on... White's teeth parted from the holes she made on my neck, taking in a deep breath of fresh air as she slid her hands out of my back. She pulled her head back, gently closing her eyes as I stared up at her with a small smile of my own, happy to know that she's now alright... Slowly, she lowered her face onto mine and kissed me on the cheek, whispering 'thank you' kindly, like the innocent girl she truly was...

Her eyes shot open, revealing something that contracted my pupils and nearly dozed off my sanity deep into the realms of INSANITY... I've never seen anything as terrifying as what I saw in her eyes... Nothing at all... It was bloodshot. Every inch of her eye was a blood red except for the iris and the pupil... The iris was a lighter shade of red and her pupil was no larger than a pin dot... Her smile quickly became demonic and her glaring teeth became as sharp as daggers almost immediately... What's happened to her?...

"I said, put your hands up!", The policeman said from my left, but I paid no heed to what was going on... All I could think about right now was White...

"Your human laws mean nothing to me", White chuckled, getting off of me as she reached into her clothing via the collar with her right hand and pulled our her white, bloodstained Moon's Rhythm with a smile plastered across her face... W...White?!

"Drop your weapon or we will open fire! This is reality! And get rid of those contact lens and fake teeth!", He said... I don't think he should've said that...

"Oh? The blame is on us all of a sudden after the culprit leaves the crime scene? The victims are still the victims, even when in the hands of your so called 'justice'!", She cried, slashing the air twice with her legendary blade as fast as lightning, stunning the small army of light blue police men... Did she... Go insane?!... I lay there, blankly staring up at her with widened eyes as her frail white miniskirt fluttered in the wind. The men, infused with both rage and fear, dropped their hands and took a few steps back... Argh... I'm loosing a lot of blood!... I can't even say a word... What's happened to White?... To everything?... This has to be a bad dream...

"Hmph. I don't know why the chief doesn't want us to shoot you, but I bet it's because of the fact that you two are probably part of some sort of secret program... Let's go", one said... I focused only on White. Nothing else... It's either because of her sudden change, or because of the fact that I'm going to die because of her... She turned around, dropping down to her knees as she dropped her sword to the ground, sitting beside me to the left with now a small, pleasant smile plastered across her face... White?...

"Thank you Black. If it weren't for you and Sino trying to save me, I'd be gone forever... And, I'm sorry for taking a lot of your blood... But don't worry, I'll take you home...", She said soothingly in a hopeful, innocent tone of voice that made me smile as I forgave her with all my heart... Her eyes turned back to her normal light red ones that resembled rubies... "Sleep now, Black. When you wake up, you'll be all better"...

Ah! Oh man! I blankly blinked, sitting straight up on my bed as I stared at the light brown wooden door straight ahead, indicating that I was at home... My covers tumbled down onto my lap, anchoring me down onto the light blue bed as sweat dripped down my forehead like a waterfall... Haha... A nightmare! Definitely There's no doubt that all of that was just a dream! White, a vampire? Get real! Those fantasies only happen in a dream!

I raised my right hand up to my neck, feeling both sides to check for a bite mark. After a good five seconds of searching, I safely concluded that it indeed, was just a dream... Phew! Thanks for that!

"Glad it all was a dream", I sighed in relief to myself before suddenly, two strong, warm arms wrapped themselves around my arms and body, squeezing me of air as I gasped in shock and turned my head around to see a girl around my age with light blue, amazing long hair, light blue eyes and white skin... Huh?! Who is she?! "W...who are you?!", I asked in desperation, feeling her legs slide under my bottom, poking at my butt before they arrived out in between my legs, causing me to blush furiously hard. Argh! Who's this girl?! And what does she want! Actually, the best question to ask right now is HOW she even got in here!

"Don't be like that Black! I'm your pet!", She stated, licking my face with her slimy pink tongue as I darted my head forwards, blushing twice as hard as my blood boiled from embarrassment... What is she trying to pull off on me?!

"P...pet?! I don't have a pet!", I exclaimed...

"Mhm! I came from the egg! I hatched not too long ago and you're the first person I saw! The second was a cute girl who came in and gave you lots and lots of kisses!"... E...e...e...EHHH?! Who?! Argh! It must've been Melody! No denying that! Wait till I get my hands on h- "She had white hair and amazing red eyes... But she's not as cute as my Black!"... Dammit! What kind of twisted reality did I get myself into now?! This is insanity on a whole new fucking level!
