Chapter 3: Crimson, Psychic, and Mage Chain

Three Hours Earlier

Red eyes, black hair tied into a pony tail, covered by a black and red flannel hat with several different small badges on it. Oddly enough, this fella is the only Guardian to actually display his achievements. The rest of his attire, which was a silver buttoned vest with darker silver outlines, a tight long-sleeve black t-shirt with red stripes down the sleeves, followed by black gloves with silver armor padding that shined from the lights above him, covered his forearms and bits of his hands. He also wore black pants that has thick dark red stripes like his sleeves. His pants were tucked into his black boots with white lines down the center, fastened well and zipped up. This human was Fenroar, which anyone could of guess that because of his crimson red long sword. It was a wonder on how he could sing a weapon that was nearly his own height.

He shifted his weight a bit, trying to get comfortable as he leaned against the red and black wall. He was currently in the Academy's lobby area. Many people passed him and a few even wondered why this man was staring at the ground so intensely. His eyes fixed on a single point as he zoned out. He allowed his memories to occupy him while he waited, unaware how deep his mind would venture into the past.

"Come on, Rabid... You can't blame yourself for this. We did the best we could-"

"No!! No we didn't! If we did then we wouldn't have lost him! He trusted me! He trusted me and I screwed up! How the hell do you expect me to move on, knowing he'll take more risks and rush to his death! Tell me, HOW!"

"We lie to him..." Another voice snapped him out of his thoughts. He looked to his left and set his eyes upon a large mage hat, and underneath it were a pair of gold colored eyes. The darkness that shrouded this person's face made it seem like their eyes were glowing. His attire completely covered him. Not a single open space was seen to identify if this person was even human. From his long coat that split towards the end, to his knight-like shinguard, and even his long sleeves over lapping his black gloves, every inch of him was covered and hidden. His voice was the only thing that pinned him as a male.

"Still thinking about Lord Fate I take it..." Fenroar simply nods his head to the speaker as he slowly returned his eyes to the ground.

"Ludi... Don't you feel a bit responsible for what happened?"

"Not really... Rabid chose to solo it. So he pays the price of his mistakes. As harsh as this sounds, he chose to split from us, his Chain Team, and handle things on his own... I don't take any offense to him branching off and forming his own Chain... Not that he really had a choice." Fenroar slowly nods his head as he listened. He still wasn't convinced, yet he trusted Ludichaos. No matter how bizarre his advice might be, he has never steered Fenroar wrong.

"You know, he still blames you for it... 'Said you should of listened to him for a change and went with his plan." Ludi took a moment to take this in. Even though he knew this information already, being reminded of it wasn't too pleasant.

"I know... But, he should of listened to his Chain Commander. Even though I'm considered a Buffer and Support Guardian on the field, I know how to reach our goal without causing any casualties-"

"Dear God... You two talking about Fate's son again?" A female human spoke as she approached them. Her pink and blue trimmed dress, mixed with her candy-cane colored stockings clashed with her mean-like demeanor. She stood in front of them and crossed her arms, leaning on one hip as she displayed a serious look, maybe even one of boredom.

"Um... Pianta... Where is our students we're supposed to train?" Fenroar asked as he raised his eyebrow a bit. She thought for a moment as she gazed at the lights above her.

"Oh... I didn't like any of them in the C-Block barracks. So I figured I'd wait until the D-Block barracks announce their training calls." Both Fenroar and Ludi looked at her with a blank face on. They didn't know how to react to this. Ludi on one hand didn't much care and figured it'd give him more time to do nothing and relax. Fenroar on the other hand didn't know how to over come this setback, nor did he know what to do next.

"Huh... Well, guess we could-"

"Code 12-9 in the main lobby, right counter. I repeat, Code 12-9 in the main lobby, right counter. Any Chain Teams in the area please investigate."

"Great... Another computer acting up again... Copy, Head Command. CPM Chain responding." Pianta sighs after informing the HC that they would check out the situation. After releasing the small button on her ear piece she sighs with a bit of annoyance.

"Cheer up, at least we get to do something around here... Right?" She blinks slowly at Fenroar as he finished his sentence. A bit of nervousness swept over him as he lightly smiled and moved a bit closer to Luid, ready to hide behind the mysterious clothed person.

"Whatever... I suggest calling in a new computer though, since I'm most likely going to punch a hole in it." With that said she took the lead and headed across the lobby. Ludi smirked within his shadow hidden face.

"Come on, before she breaks more than one computer." Fenroar nods with a smirk as he followed his Chain Commander to the counter, stationed in the center of the lobby. Upon arrival the trio examined the computer. Pianta quickly wheeled the lady operating the computer out of her way. Had that been anyone else than Pianta, she would of snapped at them. In this case the lady simply got up and watched from behind them.

"Ugh... You guys know none of this crap makes sense to me. So, let me know when I can break the damn thing-"

"Hey! What the heck is going on here?" The trio looked over to their right. One of the other operators was staring at his computer with a very confused expression. Soon, all the other operators did the same. It wasn't long until the entire circular counter was a buzz with confusion.

"The hell is going on here?" Pianta questioned to herself. Suddenly one of the males tensed up as he stared at the screen. A digital dark black hand started to extend itself from the screen and slowly reach out towards the man. He was awe struck, or paralyzed with fear. Either way he was frozen and remained motionless until it slowly placed its hand on his face. He suddenly screams in pain as it gripped his head firmly and squeezed. Within several seconds the man was transformed into a dark shadowy creature. Its eyes were solid white with grey pupils. Its head pointed into a single horn as it opened its mouth and displayed its fire-like teeth. Suddenly more shadow-hands rushed out of the computers and began turning people into these dark creatures while everyone went into a mass panic. In a matter of minuets chaos had erupted as the creatures began attacking and sucking the life out of anyone who wasn't infected.

"Pianta!"

"On it!!" She quickly shouts back to Ludi as she lunged towards the center of the chaos. She quickly formed a barrier around the survivors within the central lobby desk they were in. She grunted a bit in pain as the shadow-hands began to bang and pound on her telekinesis barrier.

"Fenroar, take down those dark beings while I boost Pianta's barrier strength."

"Got it." In a surge of electricity Fenroar vanished and zoomed towards the lobby's main exit. He blazed pass the dark beings and appeared before them as he slid on his feet from the momentum. Bursting forward in a zigzag formation he quickly cut down each being with one single stoke of his sword. On his last five speedy-slashes within a span of two seconds he slid into the last creature and plunged his sword into its chest. It screeched with a chime-like squeal and burst into digital particles. Fenroar's eyes widen as he looked at his blade. There was blood on it. Black blood that dripped and formed into particles before hitting the ground.

"Barrier is stable, Pianta. Now scan the area for the one the who triggered this."

"Yeah, sure. Just make sure my ass doesn't get bit!" She shouts back, seeing as how Ludi had placed himself further away from them. She shook her head briefly, thinking he was a coward for backing away from the origin of this mess. She closed her eyes and relaxed herself as she slowly breathed in, then slowly breathed out. Her eye lids moved rapidly as she scanned and searched every mind within the area. Once that was done she branched out her search. Finally she fixed on a person fleeing the scene through the air ducts. She was suddenly thrown back as her eyes flung open. Her back hit the ground a bit harder than she expected, making her wince a bit as she held her head for a moment.

"I found her... Shes wearing some kind of clock that blocks me from reading her."

"Go after her. Me and Fenroar will clean up here." She didn't needed to be told twice as she was already getting up and racing for the lobby doors before Ludi could finish his sentence. She didn't like that this robed woman pushed back, 'mind power' wise of course. At this point Fenroar had already sliced through several computers which caused the shadowy hands to explode into tiny pieces.

"Fenroar... We gotta big problem here." He just finished slicing the last computer when he paused and looked at Ludi confused. Ludi was looking towards the high ceiling, which made Fenroar do the same. All the beings he killed were now reforming and coming together to form one giant dark monster. The monster began to take shape, five horns in stead of one, female torso, long thick tail, three toes instead of two, and one large shredded looking wing on its left side. By this time Ludi and Fenroar were alone as everyone else ran for their lives.

"Ludi! Look out!" Fenroar shouts as he pointed to his feet. A large symbol was glowing under him. Before he could even think of a thought a beam of light roared from the symbol and engulfed Ludi completely. The light was sucked back into the symbol, revealing that Ludi was gone. A robed figured slowly walked to where Ludi was just standing. His hood covered his face completely, not to mention his head was hung low to prevent his eyes from being seen. Finally the giant dark being was completely formed and dropped to the ground. It landed with a loud boom that shook the lobby. It was fifty feet tall, which was half the height of the lobby's ceiling, which was one hundred feet tall.

"Don't worry, he isn't dead." A female voice spoke from behind Fenroar. He quickly spun around and readied his blade. His mouth slowly dropped as he stared upon the speaker.

"Y-you... How... What are you doing here? How are you apart of this?" He asked, trying to get the proper words in his shocked state.

"You would betray us!?" Anger quickly came over him as he readied his weapon again. She laughs mockingly for a moment, then tossed her hood that was attached to the robe she was wearing over he head.

"Don't be so shocked, Fen... After all, I'm not the only one keeping a secret. Now, I wonder what would happen if Fate found out the truth about his son." Her smirk quickly faded into a serious and deathly frown. Something caught his eyes though. He looked at her hand for a moment. Blood was streaming down her arm and dripped onto the floor. She raised her partly bloody hand and examined it before wiping the blood off with her robe.

"You can thank Pianta for that... And no, she isn't dead either. Actually, you'll be joining her shortly." She informs him as she lowered her hand. It didn't take Fenroar long to realize what she meant. Under his feet was the symbol that caused Ludi to vanish from sight. To which, the same thing happened to him. A bright light shot out of the symbol and engulfed him completely. The light faded away, along with Fenroar, leaving the two robed members in the lobby with the large dark being in the center...

Present Time

"Red!! Look out!!" Otogi shouts as she kicked away one of the dark creatures. Red spun around to look behind him and spotted two dark beings advancing on him. He got into his fighting stance and waited until they were close enough. Leaping forward he pounded his right foot into the first being's head, then used the force of his kick to spring himself off of the being and come back down like a bullet towards the second. Driving both feet into the back of its head he managed to make it explode into particles as he crushed its head underneath his feet.

"Red, Otogi! Stop holding back and use your-" Yami was interrupted as three creatures leaped towards him. He raised his arm up and quickly clenched his fist which caused a roar of wind to burst forward and smash into his attackers. They screeched as they were thrown back and slammed against the nearest wall to him.

"-Your powers to thin out this mess!" He finished shouting as he planted his foot into one of the being's face and drove it into the ground. It exploded once its head was crushed under his foot.

"I don't think thats a good idea! My powers are a bit-"

"Trust me! Whatever you think about your powers, it can't be worse than this! Now thin out this herd so we can find the point of origin and rid of it!" Red was still unsure of himself. Even after being cut off and told to go ahead, he wasn't confident in himself.

"Right... Well... I guess here goes nothing." He comments to himself as he became a bit more serious. His fists began to form a red substance over them that slowly formed into spheres around his hands. He waited once again for the creatures to attack him, placing himself at a good distance from Otogi and Yami. The first creature in a group of four took the lead and lunged at him. He reached back his arm and rocketed his fist forward to hit the creature... BOOM! A loud booming noise, followed by a small gust of wind, rushed out upon impact. Yami nearly feel on his rear as the sound alone was loud and powerful. More booming sounds followed as Red continued his assault on the creatures, him being the attacker now while they tried to run and flee. Each hit blasted away up to four of them depending how close they were from Red.

"Well... Now I know why he doesn't like using his power." Yami comments to himself as he held his ears a bit. Paying attention to Red caused him to drop his guard. He was unaware that one of the creatures was gunning for him with intentions to pounce and feed on him. As soon as he turned around to face his next attacker it was already in mid air and reaching its arms out towards him. Within a second it suddenly dropped like a fly as a gun shot went off. Yami looked to his right to find Rabid aiming his gun yet his focus was already on another target.

"Pay attention, Yami. I don't like making it a habit to save guardians." Yami could only blink a few times at his words. He tilted his head a bit as he spoke.

"Uh... I didn't know you were saving me... Could of handle that on my own but-" Yami quickly raised his hand up which caused a rush of wind to shred through one of the creatures attacking from behind him.

"-Thanks anyways... I guess..." After being ignored Yami just lightly shrugs and turned his attention back on Red and Otogi. The two of them managed to defeat the last few of them but they bound to send more. Before Yami could take a step to join the two students a symbol faded into existence before him. He raised an eye brow in confusion as he recognized the symbol.

"Isn't that..." Suddenly Pianta comes flying out of the symbol in a flash of light and collides with Yami. They fall to the ground as Yami managed to break her fall, taking most of the impact. They both moan a bit as they lay there for a moment.

"Ah... Pianta? You okay there?" Yami asked her as he tried to sit up without tossing her off of him so suddenly.

"Yeah just... Give me a second..." She replied with a bit of a blush, holding her head a bit as she slowly sat next to him.

"Ahem... Yami, dear... Why was Pianta all over you just now...? You're not doing anything behind my back-Ah!" Before Tricks could finish her 'serious' question, seeming to appear next to them randomly, Ludi crashes into her in the same fashion that Pianta collided with Yami. As well, Ludi and Tricks hit the floor with a louder thud than Yami and Pianta did.

"What the-Who the hell-get off me-Ugh your so heavy for a... Whatever you are!" Tricks shouts as she tried to move Ludi off of her. She didn't get very far until he moved himself and sat next to her.

"Geez! Whats with you guys anyways-"

"Cross-Faith... Hes the source of our problems." Ludi interrupts her before she goes on a rant. He motioned to stand up when his eyes laid upon Rabid, still standing a bit of a ways from the group. Oddly enough, Rabid's 'death stare' was turned into one of sorrow for a moment as Ludi displayed the serious and stern expression. Though it was hard to tell from the darkness covering his face, Ludi tends to lower his head a bit so his mage hat partly covers his eyes and forms an evil glare. After the quick exchange of glances Ludi got to his feet and rubbed his shoulder a bit. Yami helped both Pianta and Tricks to there feet.

"Trixie, you're bleeding." Yami states with a bit of worry as he held her arm gently and examined the wound.

"Yes, I'm bleeding because while you four frolicked around with these evil whatevers, I rushed into the heart of the problem and took care of it. I admit, I was a bit overwhelmed, but my priority was ridding of the origin point, like all well trained Guardians are suppose to do."

"I didn't give you an order to branch off and fight on your own-"

"You didn't give us ANY damn order so what the hell was I suppose to do!?" Tricks eyes widen a bit as she looked at Rabid's evil glare. She turned her face away from him, blushing a bit as her form of apologizing while the group switched their sights from Rabid, to Tricks, and back to Rabid.

"I remember a certain someone disobeying a Chain Commander's order before... So I guess the 'training apple' doesn't fall far from the tree..." Ludi's words, along with his glaring eyes, were directed towards Rabid. The group became even more nervous now, knowing that Ludi rarely became this serious. After a moment or two of awkward silence Ludi turned his attention to Tricks once Rabid looked away.

"You did good, according to my books, Tricks..." Ludi adds with a simple nod. Tricks just waved her hand dismissively as if saying 'I know.'

"Teh... You guys make me sick." Cross-Faith's voice spoke as he slowly approached them. Everyone became tense as they slowly got into different formations. Upon seeing this the urban cowboy stopped walking.

"Alright, I know you all don't like me, but even I don't deserve-"

"What you deserve is my claws sinking into your skull." Tricks interjected as she got ready to attack. Her face completely changed as she saw someone round the corner and join Cross-Faith. Red and Otogi grasped as they displayed the most shocked expressions from the group.

"Hey there, Fate... Had a good nap?" Ludi broke the silence. The long red-haired male looked at each of them. His orange fire-like eyes shined brightly. He wore a dark brown sleeveless shirt made out of some kind of fur, a set of gauntlets on his forearms, spiked black armored boots reaching up to his knees, a dark brown tail that is long enough to wrap around his waist three times, acting as a belt even though his black leather pants doesn't need to be held up. Several scars and gashes can be seen on his exposed chest from the V shaped collar of his shirt, as well as on his arms and hands. There is a single scar going from the left side of his forehead to the back of his head. Most of it is hidden among his hair that reaches down to his shoulder blades.

"Not really..." Ludi simply nods in response to this, then waited to see if he had anything to say. It was never clear if Fate was joking or being serious. He hardly changed his expression, and seems to always be mad or serious. Of course, everyone knows Rabid picked up this trait from Fate. Only a few know that this happened after a certain event transpired. Others simply think Rabid looks up to Fate, when in fact that is far from the case.

"I already told him whats going on. Figured someone should before he finds out for himself-"

"And did you tell him you're the cause of the problem?" Tricks interrupted him once again. She slightly took a step back when Fate took two steps forward, most likely to warn her not to interject like that again.

"Yes... We figured it out together, actually." Everyone looked at Fate as if he was crazy. His words didn't make any sense.

"Cross-Faith has a twin brother. A clone, in fact. We kept this from you for two reasons... One, I have personally used his twin as a spy without the HC's green light to do so... Two, I suspect that several of our Guardians have leaked private information about our operations to an unknown source. I narrowed it down to several Chain Teams; the two Chain Teams currently in front of me, and a few more I will not disclose... I believe one of you here is the traitor I've been seeking..." The group remained silent as Fate's judging eyes moved from one person to another. Otogi and Red felt as if they got themselves caught in something they shouldn't be involved with.

"I'm going to ask you question, and for your own sake, I better receive a proper and straight forward answer..." He paused for a moment, allowing this moment to sink in as he prepared to ask the question.

"Which one of you killed Fenroar..."
