The story begins now.
Dark begins to feel confused and uneasy.
He's surprised to see a human with him—but still suspects he might be one of the creatures, as some of them have a human-like appearance.
Dark stands on his feet and moves cautiously with him.
Dark (hesitant, eyes filled with suspicion):
"What do you want from me? Why did you save me? I don't understand… You look human, but I know some creatures can appear that way. Tell me… are you really human, or are you one of them?"
Rin (coldly, with no emotion, staring at Dark):
"You ask too many questions. If I were one of the creatures, do you think you'd still be standing here talking to me?"
Dark (steps back defensively):
"I can't trust you that easily… What I saw that night was enough to make me doubt everything. The creatures kill without mercy. And you… you look like one of them. But you're not quite the same."
Rin (toying with a small stone on the ground, not looking at Dark):
"You're right. I'm not like them. Or maybe I am.
But you're coming with me."
Dark (nervous and confused):
"Wait… I just… I don't understand why you care about me or my sister. No one cares about humans anymore."
Rin (emotionlessly, looking at him with cold eyes):
"Whether you understand or not is none of my concern. I saved you because I chose to. If you don't trust me, that's your problem—not mine."
Dark (approaching slowly, voice low):
"What do you want from me?"
Rin (turns away, walking off without looking back):
"I don't want anything from you. If you're not going to follow me…
I'll kill you."
Dark falls silent. His suspicion grows stronger, and he starts to consider escape.
But how? He's still bound in chains.
Suddenly, Rose regains consciousness.
Rin quickly explains what happened while she was unconscious.
After hearing Rin's explanation, Rose becomes anxious like Dark. She's still being carried over Rin's shoulder, lying on her stomach.
She sees Dark gesturing in sign language.
He signals her to ask for a bathroom break and points at his elbow.
Rose understands quickly, and asks Rin to put her down so she can relieve herself.
Rin agrees and lowers her to the ground.
But with metallic jumps on her arm, she released bullets aimed at Rin's face, and hit his forehead.
And Dark quickly hit Rin's forehead with his sword,
Grabbed Rose on his shoulders and ran quickly through the forest using wind magic.
Rose was on Dark's shoulders, her belly lying on him.
Dark (asks nervously):
"Rose, is the jet flight system working currently or not?"
Rose answers:
"No, it's not working well. It's not working at all now after the damage it received."
Suddenly, they find Rin charging toward them with force,
And Rose takes out her firearms and fires randomly in all directions in front of her to kill Rin.
But Rin waves his chains quickly in every direction and blocks every bullet, and what shocked Rose even more—
She was shocked by Rin's ability to block the bullets, but even more that he was able to insert some bullets between the gaps of the chains.
Rose:
"How is that even possible?"
Then Rin jumps into the air and spins once quickly,
Which made the chains spin with him and caused some bullets to be shot out from a certain angle between the gaps at high speed to kill Dark and Rose.
He is using his own angular momentum.
Then Dark uses wind magic and directs it at the bullets, which also pushes himself forward more due to the force of the wind, and the bullets are stopped.
Rin charges again and nearly reached them and almost struck him, but struck the ground hard in a failed attempt to hit him.
But from this ground strike, the forest began to collapse and shake.
This created a slope in the ground they were walking on.
Dark fell unintentionally because of the slope, and Rin used the slope to run faster than before.
Eventually, they fell from a high cliff.
And Rin started striking with his chains randomly and rapidly at Dark, and Dark blocked every swing with his sword.
Suddenly, Rose's flight jet system activated, and she began flying away from Dark.
Rose:
"Dark, what's the plan?"
Dark:
"I don't know."
Suddenly Rin decides to throw his chain toward the ground,
And the chain wraps around a tree, and part of it returns to the sky into Rin's hand (his chain is very long),
Now he pulls the chain strongly to get closer to Dark,
Until his left fist reached Dark's head
But Dark dodged the punch by moving his head to the right and grabbed Rin's fist with his right hand,
And swung his sword at Rin's neck with his other hand—the sword hit Rin's neck, but didn't cut due to its hardness.
But Dark kept pressing on his neck until they both spun in the air once, and now Rin is below and Dark is above him.
Dark shouted loudly:
"Rose, grab the chains!"
Dark flipped the sword in his hand and made the iron part of the sword point upwards instead of pressing it against Rin's neck, then released a massive wind burst, making them fall toward the ground fast.
But Rin tried to punch Dark in the face with his other hand,
But Dark grabbed his hand with his teeth,
And Rin tried to pull his hand, but Dark bit hard and screamed with a muffled voice.
Meanwhile, Rose was holding the chains and flying quickly toward the ground too.
The plan was as follows:
Crush Rin by creating massive speed using Dark's wind propulsion and Rose's jet system's pull, and Dark would use Rin as a cushion to protect himself from the freefall.
When they reached the ground, they created a huge Oblique Impact Crater.
It was a very big crater, and Dark got out of it quickly and screamed Rose's name, and she came to him and hugged him.
Rose:
"Dark, are you okay?"
Dark:
"Yes, but is your flight system still working?"
Rose:
"...No, it stopped now.
It doesn't work permanently after the damage it got."
Dark:
"Okay, I'll keep carrying you."
Dark placed Rose in his arms and carried her in bridal style,
And they continued running quickly.
But suddenly, the crater rocks scattered, and Rin came out of it,
And small pieces of rock floated due to his aura of rage, and he charged toward them quickly.
Dark and Rose became scared again,
And they ran fast—but the ground they were now on was completely empty—just barren Hammada ground (from the type of terrain called "Hammada").
Rose:
"Dark, don't we have anything but escape?"
Dark:
"Yes, that's what—"
Before he finished his sentence, Rin was extremely close behind them.
Dark suddenly stopped, threw Rose to the side quickly,
And drew his sword.
Dark:
"Lets—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Rin stabbed Dark in the heart,
And they both moved forcefully and quickly toward one of the mountains,
Until Dark's body crashed into the mountain, and it shattered behind him into smaller rocks.
Dark started bleeding from his chest, trembling, gasping, and some red sparks came from the knife used for stabbing.
Dark looked at Rin, and Rin stared back with a scary and terrifying look and red glow in his eyes.
Rin pressed more with the knife into Dark's chest, and Dark screamed loudly, but suddenly a person came and grabbed Rin's fist and said:
Mysterious person:
"Rin, that's enough. It's not worth it."
Rin took a few seconds before replying, then said:
"Fine, Mohamed."
Mohamed was holding Rose with one hand.
Mohamed:
"I apologize for what Rin did. He's always like this."
Dark:
"Who are you?"
Mohamed:
"I'm Mohamed.
Hey Rin, heal his chest wound."
After that, Rin healed both Dark and Rose.
They ordered Dark and Rose to follow them without chains to a kingdom full of creatures, and they were moving in stealth to hide from them.
Mohamed:
"Just follow us, we'll lead you to safety."
