 Chapter 2: Claws, Rifle, and Wind Chain

"Here is the chart, sir." One of the men, the one shouting all the orders to the students, spoke with a bit of nervousness as he slowly handed a human male a open data-pad. The male grabbed it, rolling his leather black jacket sleeve up a bit. His brown hair was away from his face, allowing his eyes to scan the list of students as it automatically scrolled up.

"Stop..." He spoke, which caused the auto-scroll to freeze. He placed his finger on red highlighted words that read 'No Data Available.' Upon selecting it a brief profile flashed onto the pad's screen. To his right was Red's picture when he had shorter hair.

"Shouldn't we wait for Tricks?" Another human spoke. His skin was a bit pale, which was hidden underneath the black robe he wears.

"If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that..." The robed male didn't like that reply, causing a bit of timidness within him as he tried to look at the other students lined up. Without warning the male in the leather black jacket started to walk down the hallway. The robed male followed quickly, wincing a bit as the sun beamed on them form the right through the glass wall. Each step the mentor took stirred more fear into the students. It was only after five steps that a female grey-hound collapsed to the floor. The other students panicked but remained at full attention as their mentors passed them. One of them motioned to help her up, but decided against it and straightened his posture when the brown haired male laid his stern eyes upon him.

"Captain, take her to the infirmary." The robed one called. The man quickly nodded and rushed to the fainted girl. He quickly scooped her up in his arms and carried her away. Finally the clicking of his boots came to a halt. He looked at the list in his hand for a moment, then slowly turned his attention to the one he stopped in front of. Red's eyes widen as he swallowed hard. He didn't dare make eye contact as the mentor continued to burn his sights through him.

"Mind explaining this error message on your profile?" He asked, to which Red just stared off through the glass wall while sweat seeped from his forehead. His joke he mentioned before didn't seem like the appropriate answer, but besides that he couldn't think of anything else to say.

"I'm sorry, Master Rabid... It was I who tampered with the file..." Otogi steps forward to complete her speech.

"I was trying to fix a mistake he made... I didn't mean for-"

"You didn't mean to hack into our data-base and scan through private files, is what you're telling me..." Upon hearing this both Otogi and Red became shocked. Red didn't even hack into a high level security system such as their private data-base. He doesn't have the skills to even attempt such a thing. Otogi was lost for words. She knew Red couldn't have hacked their data-base in such a manner. Their profiles are on a different sever panel as it is.

"Rabid... Yami... How unpleasant to see you..." A slightly deep voice called from the other end of the hallway. Rabid's eyes glared even more as his eyes rested upon their speaker. Yami also displayed a stern look.

"Cross-Faith... The Guardian Code only states that I have to greet you with respect, so say whatever the hell you need to say and leave... As you can see I'm a bit busy." The man on the other end of the hallway smirks as he adjusted his cowboy hat on his head. He wore a black leather jacket as well, only he had several chains hanging form it, more so on the back and on his sleeves. His baggy black jeans had metal crosses along it. His mustache was thin but his goatee was thick. A cross-shaped earring shined in the sunlight as he crossed his arms and spoke.

"Fine, I'll turn my ass around and leave you with nothing... When LF gets pissed at-"

"Fate is back!?" Yami quickly interjected. The urban cowboy smirked with a light sigh.

"Hes dead... Again..." The students had more of a reaction to this. Killing a Guardian was widely know as a hard task to accomplish. Despite this, Rabid and Yami weren't bothered by this news.

"Lesson one, boys and girls... The Guardian known as Fate can not be killed. He has a self healing factor that doesn't have a stable time frame of when it kicks in to work... In other words, his healing power works whenever it wants." At first, the students were confused. The speaker was nowhere to be seen, yet her voice was coming from somewhere. Soon, a few of them figured it out and managed to spot the cat demon, standing on the ceiling without a care in the world for the laws of psychics. Even her own clothing, consisting of a black V-neck shirt with long sleeves, displaying wide sleeves by the hand, defied the rules of gravity. You'd expect the wide openings near the bottom of her pants to fold down towards the floor. However, this was not the case.

"Geez... Its the damn cat from hell..." Cross-Faith comments, rolling his eyes and sighing from her random appearance.

"Your late..." Rabid spoke with a stern voice. The demon cat eyed him from above for a moment, then returned her eyes back on the cowboy.

"Continue with your message, boy-cow. We have much work to do... And far more scoldings to dish out." Her attention was quickly fixed on poor Red, who once again started sweating as he tried not to look at the human-like cat.

"Sorry, message was strictly for Rabid only-"

"Then he can tell me when he wakes up... Now leave." The cowboy raised an eye brow for a moment. Then he returned his smirk as he shook his head again. He slowly raised his hand up, palm facing towards the ceiling, and eyes fixed on the floor. A white glowing cross suddenly appeared and rapidly shot out an odd looking sword. Even though it moved as fast as a bullet, Rabid caught the middle of the blade with his hand. The tip of the blade was only a few inches away from his chest. Without saying a word the cowboy began fixing his hat again as a larger glowing cross formed behind him. It quickly engulfed the cowboy which made him vanish within a few seconds. Tricks and Yami joined Rabid's side as he began to examine it. They both displayed a slight shocked expression while Rabid narrowed his eyes in anger.

"Eclipse blade..." Otogi comments softly to herself. Not knowing she did, she spoke louder than she wanted to. The three mentors quickly turned their attention to her, startling her as she stepped back into the wall.

"Well... I guess we'll take these trouble makers then..."

"Tricks... I don't think we should-"

"Otogi, Red." The two students quickly stood upright as Rabid cut Yami off to address them. Red was swearing in his mind, while Otogi was praying that they wouldn't be punished.

"We'll be your mentors form here on... You are now official students of the CRW Chain..." The two of them couldn't help but widen their smiles with excitement. It was clear that they were trying to bottle in their reaction to scream and cheer for joy.

"Rule number one... Don't... Smile..." Tricks comments, quickly killing their mood as they became serious once more.

"Follow Tricks to the arenas... The rest of you, wait here until Captain Connic comes back with the rest of the mentors."

"YES SIR!" All the students shout. Red and Otogi were ready to follow Tricks, but they somehow missed it when she simply vanished. They displayed a bit of confusion, even looking to the ceiling to find her, yet they found nothing.

"Don't worry, she does often... Follow me please." Yami informs them, to which they just shrugged at each other and followed Yami out. Rabid staid behind for a moment, taking more time to look over the sword by himself. He moved it a round a bit until his eyes caught something. When he turned the thick handle towards the sunlight a symbol lightly glowed.

"You can't tell me I'm wrong, Rabid!! I shouldn't even be in this damn place! I don't belong here! I'm not a Guardian! I'm a sick joke formed by my father! Who happens to be one of the Unknown-XIII Royals!! What more proof do you want!? If you wont see reason then I'll get more proof!!"

As these words from the Guardian Fate plays in his mind, he begins to picture the argument he had with him. He slowly shook his head to clear out the negative thoughts. He has a job to do for the moment. Once Fate awakens though, he'll get direct answers. Until then there isn't anyone he could trust with the amount of knowledge he knew about Fate, and where he truly went that he would come back with such an object...

On their way to the training arenas Otogi and Red followed Yami closely. Both of them were itching to ask so many questions. Red was more focused on not getting punished for hacking his submitted profile. Even though Otogi tried to take the fall for him, it wasn't convincing enough for the mentors.

"Um... Master Yami... Are we in trouble?" Otogi finally asked. Yami looked at them for a moment, not really sure what to say. He thought for a moment. Then he simply shrugged.

"Well, you're under our wings now... So... I'm guessing you're not in trouble... For now, of course... Does that make sense?" He asked them while lightly smiling a bit. His answer only brought a bit of comfort to both of them as they simply nod their heads.

"No Data, huh."

"Ahh!" Red nearly shouts upon hearing Tricks voice. Her hands were cupped behind her back as her eyes were closed, following along side him for however long she has been there. Which drew the question of how long she has been there this entire time.

"Uh-um... Y-yes ma'ma... You can address me-"

"I think its stupid... I'll call you Boom-boom from now on... Its logical in every way. Red-Boombox was your first submitted name, I like things that go boom, and I'm even more ecstatic when they boom twice... Any problems?" Her eyes opened and were already fixed upon him, as if she was always looking at him but her eyelids were simply closed. This freaked him out a bit of course. So he quickly agreed that there were no problems with whatever she wanted to call him.

"Good... Boom-boom, I'll be your first opponent."

"WHAT!" Tricks suddenly stopped which forced the entire group to do the same. Red was still next to her as she closed her eyes with annoyance. It seemed like she was trying to contain an outburst of rage.

"Did you just scream in my ear...?" Red's eyes filled with fear as he realized he did exactly that. He took a step back and shook his head faster than he could blink. An awkward and eerie moment settled in as silence fell upon them.

"Good... Moving along..." After breaking the silence she began to lead again, this time forming up next to Yami as they began to walk. She sighs to herself, knowing Yami could see and hear her.

"This is going to be a very long day..."

"I have faith in them-"

"Ever wonder if its worth it... Training them... Trusting them... Teaching them the means of being unstoppable, while not knowing if they have their own agenda to use the tools and skills we've mastered into them..." Yami became a bit more serious as he listened. They had this conversation many times before and it never ended on good terms.

"Trixie... We've been over this already. We don't teach them to become powerful forces of destruction. I mean, its not like we teach them to deify death-"

"Yes, but one person has that ability and he is always dying. He was taught the same rules, the same skills to avoid death and stay alive, yet he rushes into death and it simply ignores him. What kind of Guardians are we building if their powers and abilities derail the very code of honor we imprint on these students. What does it say about us when we can't contain one single person from wrecking an entire supply base. What gives him the right to place himself above our codes and go against everything we stand for, declaring that our way of up holding the peace is-"

"Trixie..." Yami managed to gently silence her he placed his hand on her shoulder. She remained silent as she let his silence sooth her mind with burning questions.

"I don't have all the answers for you, or for anyone else with these questions... Honestly speaking, these questions are not our priority. Right now, we have two students under our wing that need the correct guidance and training we can offer..." Silence fell again. Red and Otogi were very much intrigued by their conversation. Tricks finally caught onto this and sighs once more.

"Right... Pick up the pace you two-"

"AHHH!!!" A suddenly sharp scream pierced their ear drums as a female shouts with pure horror. More people screamed upon seeing what the first women screamed about. However, a mass number of people simply stared at the cause of this commotion. A pool of black blood slowly slithered from under a dried up corpse, as if something sucked the life out of the person. The culprit was only a foot away, standing on its two hind ledge with two long sharp toes digging into the ground. The toes were thick, acting as its feet while the rest of its foot pointed up like an animal.

The top part of this dark shadowy figure was human. Solid abs, strong chest muscle, male in appearance by its torso, and tall in size. Within its three clawed hand was a white sphere, swirling with some kind of grey substance within it. It slowly turned its single horned head towards them. Its eyes were solid white with grey pupils, no iris at all. The lower part of its face began to form a silt, slowly opening to reveal fire-like teeth. It hissed with a slight chime to it as it took a step towards the group. Clearly it was still hungry, and they were marked for its next meal...
