 Yeah, sorry about the short mention there. Like I said via pm, I had/have bigger plans for your guy... Anyways, here be the next chapter. Hope you enjoy. :D

Chapter 10: Tactic, Purge, and the Fight

Three months after Organ Island was taken over

A feather lightly waved from the flow of air that entered into the dark room. The feather was attached to a leather looking cowboy hat, yet the hat itself was not big or elaborate. A snake-skin strap circled around the top part of the head-wear, which was holding the feather in place so it wouldn't fly away. Beneath the hat were a pair brown eyes covered by bangs that slightly swayed to the right. This swift fox, wearing his cowboy/indian attire, took his eyes off the gun within his hand and watched as two people entered through the large black wooden doors. His feet were propped on a black desk. A bunch of papers were stacked upon it as well as several data pads. Around the room were large glass containment tubes. Most of them were filled with a green or dark blue liquid, along with some form of object, creature, or was completely empty. A few of them were covered with large black drapes that prevented anyone from looking at them. Along the walls were machines, wires, and other electronics. The fox could hear the two talking with each other as he waited for them to reach the desk he sat at. It was a good walk, seeing as the room was like a large yet narrow hall.

"Stupid little shits tried to retake this place. Idiots..." Konos spoke out, smirking with an evil delight as his words, more towards his insults. Rabid smirked back, as if he agreed. Oddly enough, Rabid was one of the few people who got along with Konos. Besides his rude manners, there was more to Konos most people didn't know about that only him and another knew about. That other person was TC, the person who was waiting for them to reach the desk.

"Well, we have a more pressing matter. Wardrobe fashion sense is now going to be applied." Konos looked at Rabid with a confused expression. The brown haired human smirked more as he shook his head.

"Guess you didn't here. Apparently we're being issued robes now. Something about better control and more powers."

"Bull... They're just scared cause my Dark-Heart nearly whipped out Starlight Central." Konos replied, to which Rabid simply shrugged his shoulders as they finally reached TC.

"If I recall, Gun Slayer, it nearly killed you and half the Royals." TC's tone wasn't one of anger or seriousness. In fact, it was flat, as if he was simply stating a fact. The cowboy could only nod in agreement, thinking for a moment as the looked at one of the covered tubes. It was the largest one in the room and set off to the right of desk. Three symbols were engraved above it on the stone wall behind it. This tube was also the only one to have a magical barrier around it and no form of electronic of machine hooked up to it. The three symbols were a cross shape on the left, a warp looking symbol to the right, and two guns forming an X in the middle.

"I didn't lose any sleep over it. Those bastards deserve to die. After they took Diamond Town from us, I'll put bullets in all of them if given the damn chance. I'll spit on there corpse and piss on them for what they did." As brutal and enraged Konos sound, both Rabid and TC couldn't help but agree. Rabid spoke up to confirm this.

"Killing them wont satisfy the punishment they deserve. We have to make them suffer, both the Empire and the damn Royals."

"Agreed. This is why we're going to kill their queen."

"Get the hell out of here. You know how many damn attempts there are on Ms. Fields head? Planeswalker's dad was the only one to get close enough to see the whites of her eyes. You really think the last three Triggers will be able to step right up to her and drop a bullet in her head?" Konos protested, thinking TC lost his mind. Rabid didn't argue his objection, as he knew TC wouldn't simply state something without having a full-proof plan.

"I expect us to fail, yes. However, we're not really going to kill her. As Planeswalker said, they deserve a fate far worse than death."

"Alright, fox, I'm listening. Speak your damn mind already." Konos interjected, to which the fox finally removed his feet off the desk and stood up.

"Gather your brothers, Gun Slayer. We'll need them for our-"

"What the flipping hell were we just talking about! You do know what happens when us three meet up, don't ya? I mean, shit man. You want a damn blood bath I'll gladly-"

"Konos, shut the hell up and let him speak." Rabid silenced the cowboy. He only grunted an insult and crossed his arms as he tapped his foot a few times.

"Three brothers, three Gun Slayers, apart they are deadly but together they wake up Threat, your Dark-Heart revealed." TC spoke, causing for both Rabid and Konos to look at him weird. The fox shrugged and smirked a bit.

"Guardians already got a myth about you and your Dark-Heart. Thought it was a bit catchy." He adds, making Konos roll his eyes with a playful annoyance look while Rabid smirked a bit.

"This brings me to my next point. This is the third anniversary of the Guardians Festival. Two days from now they'll have their parade and big celebration for birthing these so called Guardians-"

"Idiots don't even know their core members has Diamond Town survivors in it. Plus, half of their ranks are filled with bloody Royals." TC blinked a few times as Konos shook his head with a smile, enjoying his own mocking of the Empire. The fox cleared his throat and proceeded to explain.

"I'm one of the head body guards for the queen. I'll gain access to all her key routes while Planeswalker assembles the rest of our team. Konos and his brothers will produce the distraction by terrorizing the parade-"

"In hopes that we don't awaken my Dark-Heart, sure thing..." The cowboy comments, looking again at the tube with the three symbols above it. Rabid and TC could sense the fear in Konos. Even though he tried to be tough, deep down he feared for his life.

"These new robes the Master is issuing to all the Royals is suppose to prevent the lack of control for any Dark-Heart, even an Enemy Class."

"Yeah, swell and all. But one problem, fur ball... My Dark-Heart is a Threat Class Dark-Heart. Threats are higher than Enemies."

"I thought there wasn't anything higher than an Enemy Class?" Rabid asked with a puzzled looked. Konos shook his head as he fixed his eyes on the floor.

"I'm a different case they told me. This Dark-Heart isn't just mine apparently, its all three of ours, which makes it much stronger than your average Enemy Class. They called it a Threat Class because it doesn't just threaten the host, but every person around it..." Silence fell for a moment as the three paused and reflected on this news.

"This is why I'm bringing them along with me." TC finally comments as he tapped the desk a few times. Two people came from behind a door that lead to one of the back rooms of this hall.

"Ludius? As in the Chaotic Mage of Diamond Town?" Rabid asked, to which Ludi simply nods as he placed his hand on the little girl standing in front of him.

"At your service, I guess." He comments, making sure the girl in front of him didn't run behind him out of shyness.

"Ludi was the one who gave birth to Virus. He took DNA samples from his sister who was lost to the-"

"We're bringing a damn kid with us?" Konos asked, ignoring the mage's story TC was explaining as he looked at the little girl.

"This is Aurorae, my daughter." Ludi comments after a moment. Pianta barely smiled or waved, putting on a sour and mean face to show her bravery in front of the two men, mainly towards Konos seeing as she already got bad vibes from him.

"Right... Not gonna ask how or with whom, but I'll be damned if we're bringing a snot nose little punk with us-"

"Speak about her like that again, and I'll make all your insides be on the outside... Got it?" Konos narrowed his eyes as he moved his hands on his two large pistols. He didn't even realize he did so until Rabid gently elbowed his arm. The cowboy just glared for a moment before he decided to ignore his comment and focus on TC.

"Game plan... Spit it out." He ordered, to which TC didn't take any offense and simply nods his head.

"We're going to freeze the Imperials, encase them in a magical barrier... Forever..." Although Konos loved the sound of this idea, something was off. TC's mood changed drastically as he thought about his next words. This part frightened him till no end, making him shake a bit the more he thought about.

"I'm not only doing this to make the Empire suffer for the Purge that hit Diamond Town. I'm looking ahead to our future, to our survival..." He paused once more as he tried to muster up enough courage to continue.

"Ever herd of the Fated Kingdom..."

Present Time

In the mist of the chaos that erupted the gun wielding trio managed to find each other and form up, all of them back to back as they watched for any attacks coming their way.

"Shit, didn't think we'd be doing this again. Brings back damn good memories." Konos comments with a dull tone as he watched Yami rush towards Pianta for an attack.

"Back then you pretended to have no spine and toughed things out. Now you've lost all feelings and became a grumpy cowboy." Rabid comments as he searched for Blaire, feeling as if she was also searching for him to begin their brawl.

"Yeah well, that kinda happens when your Dark-Heart reawakens and kills ya... Oh, I didn't get the chance to tell ya, partner, but your old plan sucked ass. Hope you gotta better one this go around." His last few comments were directed at TC. The fox was currently fixed on Ludi who was engaging Ajkunai.

"Yes... Yes I do... Kill the queen, free the king, unleash the demon, awaken death, find the source, ignite it, watch the world burn... Then fight the Knight for dominance... Fated Kingdom equals conquered." Despite that Konos was busy watching the many other battles, becoming angered as his outlaws were being tossed around by the Guardians and Royals, he was bit confused by TC's 'new' plan he spilled out.

"The queen is Blaire, the king is himself, the demon is Threat, death is Fate's Dark-Heart, the source is Fate, igniting it summons the Fated Knight, watch it destroy SB and the Empire, fight and kill the knight to finally takeover the Fate Kingdom... Any questions?" Rabid explains, to which TC nods his head and spoke.

"Yes, one actually. Why do you think the king is me? You're the king I was talking about." Rabid looked over his shoulder for a moment at TC, who only returned the stare and nods his head to confirm his words were true. It was at that moment that he caught Blaire in his sights. Her eyes searched until they finally met with Rabids. They both exchanged glares for a moment before Rabid shoved TC out of his way while Blaire sprinted towards the sniper. She launched several ice shards at him while readying a stronger attack within her other hand. Rabid managed to dodge a few of them and was forced to block the rest of them with his gun. Finally they met and clashed with force as she launched a powerful punch towards him. He managed to block her attack, however the impact knocked his gun out of his hand. He felt a quick bite of frost at his hands, which made him noticed that his gun was now encased in ice from her punch. Before he could defend himself against Blaire she managed to use her speed and round house kick him in the chest. He stumbled back and winced a bit as he grunted in anger.

She was already attacking again as he regained himself. He blocked her punch with his forearm but failed to stop her knee that rammed his right rib cage. He grunted once more as he prepared to block another attack. This time he caught her foot that was meant to strike his face. She suddenly yelped loudly as she kicked him away with her other foot, preforming a backhand spring and landing on her feet. She quickly glanced as her ankle and realized her jeans had a burn mark there. At this point she could feel the overly warm sensation rising within her shin. She fixed her eyes upon him once more, now putting two and two together as he let a large flame dance within his hand. The two of them stared each other down as they waited for the other to make a move. It seemed like they were debating which actions to take, as if planning out their attacks and figuring out the best way to conquer their opponent.

"What the hell did I ever do to you, Planeswalker." Blaire asked with a stern and demanding tone. Rabid had to bite his tongue from flipping out and shouting at the top of his lungs, most of his speech would be insults and swear words. He managed to formulate the proper words to say.

"Not sure when Lord Fate 'thawed' you out, but if you can, think back so many years ago... Diamond Town, the Purge, millions of deaths, containment, families ripped apart, kids become father and motherless, blood flooded the streets... Should I keep going?" Blaire thought about the words he spoke. She blinked a few times, thought some more, then replied as she adjusted her feet for a better fighting stance.

"The crime rate in Diamond Town was high and the Royals were becoming a greater threat to the Empire then one single town. We collected information that the Royals were hiding within Diamond Town. So we vanquished the entire town to rid of the threat-"

"You cold hearted piece of shit! The damn Royals ARE the Empire! They didn't come from some outside source, or from any part of the world. They came from the Empire itself! And don't give me that crime rate bull crap! The Triggers, who were the law in that town, the only people who were allowed to carry a firing weapon in that place, made damn sure that they kept the peace and established a comfortable way of living... Five people survived the Diamond Town Purge, only five damn-it... How the hell did you sleep at night..." Blaire expressed no emotion but her serious and stern one. She listened, twitched a bit when insulted, but remained calm as she let him finished. She waited a moment to see if he had anything else to say, then proceeded to reply.

"Diamond Town wasn't the only town we Purged... You act like I was the one who ordered it. Even though I was the queen, that ordered was not left up to me. Lord Fate overruled my objection to the purges, much like he overrules me now. On the day you and your 'Diamond Triggers' decided to attack the parade, I learned that Lord Fate was the head leader of the Royals. When he freed me from my eternal slumber many years later I noticed that the world had changed. No one would believe me if I told them Fate was the brains behind the Royals. I knew no one from this era, and no one knew me... Well, expect you." She paused for a moment, watching his expression to see if he was still enraged despite all that she told him.

"So, you still want to end my life-"

"Yes." He quickly answered. The flame within is hand grew larger and soon spawned a staff-like weapon, a halberd to be exact. Now she knew Rabid was still heated. He only resulted to using his staff when he wanted to get in someone's face and do major damage.

"Are you going to tell me why?" She asked as she formed two ice swords and twirled them once to get the feel of them.

"You could of done something. You could of saved so many lives... You could of saved my mother..." She had nothing to say to this. It made sense to her now though, why his father attempted to kill her. Suddenly her eyes widen as all thoughts escaped her mind. Rabid saw her expression and quickly looked behind him. His eyes were filled with the same terror as hers. Dark clouds quickly loomed over head as a bit of thunder lightly roared.

"Tactic... What the hell have you done..."
