Rengo's POV

"Haha, it's so sad that our own kind are this weak in Earthland. But this is newly released controls for exiles like you," a demon bearing the chief badge had stared at my eyes in a creepy way. I mean, do you want a pair of glowing eyes to stare at you from 5 cm of space? No? I thought so. This place was still the same, with the usual newbies in charge. Those plain demons are really goddamn lazy, huh? I rolled my eyes, staring at the walls in boredom. Yunna seemed to have the same opinion as me.

It's just like studying at our libraries; it's very frustrating and restraining

Is there anything interesting? I looked down at the ropes they tied us down with, hmmm... it's way too complicated and thick for me or Yunna to escape it. Plus, we're too lazy. No problem, I'll just use my magic. My eyes glowed but it forced down my etherano down I choked, it felt way weirder than I thought and inedible. Dammit, are these ropes the kind that reverse your attacks?

I looked at Yunna, who was looking angered & flustered after she attempted the same way to break free. I sighed and glared at the guard still bragging about how professional the weapons are.

The guards shivered at my menacing glare and turned somewhere else. The braggart noticed and frowned, "Hey! This whitey is not so evil. We've got her and the other one in our hands."

That braggart tried convincing but my awesome stare that represented death scared him also. I can practically see the buckets of sweat in my imagination.

"What's going on?" A gruff voice said, also stepping on me with his boot. Oh no, he'll suffer my wrath later.

"Azuno-san! We've caught Artho's sister and some other girl." Tch, Yunna is not some other girl! She's a prideful member of my exiled gang! Why do demons not understand the worth of other species, we all have feelings- and now I sound like Lucy.

"Is this the infamous Rengo?" 'Azuno' smirked at me. I hate smirks now. And I will never forget that one, especially.

"Yes.." I silently twitched and turned my head to Yunna, who was trying to hide her anger too.

"Excellant. Now bring her and the girl to the meeting place. We need to discuss their punishment." Azuno clapped.

As expected, they did as they were told. Azuno speedwalked. Lucky, I wish I could use my powers. But noooo! They had to freaking restrain me, but I can understand the neccessity of everything, I'm stronger than those brats kicking time. But I'm getting ready to beat every guard in this building before I'm long dead! I glared at the men near me that were dragging me inside a container called a crater.

Now me and Yunna are stuck inside with no openings left. "What are we, a pack of kittens?" Me and her growled. "Shut it, ladies~" A high pitched voice but male, flirted (?) with us. And then the box flipped over, giving me a headache and gave Yunna pain somewhere near her weak spot. Her whimper gave it away and I slammed into the box with my cranium by mistake, turning into a migraine. I guess the only thing to do is stay quiet, that's hard but I'll try.

And then I saw light and kicked the first thing in my sight. Oops, I kicked my sister. I'd rather be dead. And Yunna was taken away from me, glaring with sleepy eyes at the two that held her captive with a pair of daggers. "Take her away." The guards dragged her to wherever her doom was held, my fear stilled me for a second. I'm not letting her witness anything.. I glared at the others in my way.

Oh blueberries, why were me and my demon friends born as we are today? I sighed. Now I'm somehow on the floor but it slams me on my back, ugh, gravity magic was always my weakness.

"Now. Are you going to apologize?" A hag called Arthos sniggered. The females of my widely known family had looked down on me, and laughed at my pathetic look, they really should look at themselves for once. But at least I'm not wrinkly like them.

"No. And for what?"

"YOU DISRESPECTED AZUNO-SAN!" A tiny girl had stepped up to my clipped form. She's pretty annoying and I don't know that much, but yet I can't believe she's the one who back stabbed me. We were originally acquaintances anyways. Her eyes showed fury but I responded with dead eyes to all of them, few flinching. A pair of toned legs stepped towards me and showed me a random relative's face, not very special looking at all.

Ow? Was her slap supposed to hurt like 'hell'? They don't even know how much it hurts. And where the hell is Yunna? Anyways, I'll beat them up. I giggled lightly at the image of them having short buzzcut hair like they did to all of us. I'll return the favor, I smirked to no one in particular.

"Hey.." I turned to the voice and got bitch slapped again. This older sister of mine is more annoying than threatening. Same with the others, "how did any of them survive without our heads of the family..? You guys never know how worthless our family is.." I cackled with wide eyes.

"That's offensive!" They yelled in defense, such hotheads. "You'll pay tenfold for insulting the officials of this castle!"

"But it's only in this castle. What can you do?" I countered back.

The others shuffled around and some beat my face up. I have to admit.. the punches were stronger than I expected, especially in my jaws. I felt my face puff up with redness but I spoke anyways.

"Are you gonna leave your dear family in pain..?" I mockingly laughed at them, a pure black hole in my heart for them. Many of them called me names and stomped on me, but I was not focused on the taunting. Thankfully, it seems like Arthos and my sisters didn't convince all of them, those few are still indecisive since they don't understand yet. Yay for good people!

I smiled at them, it's like a past version of myself. I was confused like them and I was in the same position. I stood up and prepared myself to attack my family, but one of them held up a book. Is that mother's diary!? They should be ashamed of themselves for claiming the role when they only did one of the basic and biggest sin of this world. Steal hidden items from your possession, this should be counted for all laws but humans in the other world are stupid... back to the topic, I was gonna beat these bitches down.

Suddenly, the ropes were released; I immediately took the chance to stomp up to one of my aunts with a narrow mind, eventually gripping one of my relatives' throat to death with my hands and the metallic weapon I just summoned. The spilled blood before our family seemed like an exact scene for this war, and I had my hands and legs covered in it. I had stomped on her blood so much it spread to the lower half of my body. Arthos and half of the family held up their weapons and elements, me healing myself as the other half of the females had ran away during my first victim.

Rena's POV

Ah, that was easier than I thought! So basically, my group killed 3 sets of demons, 18 each, and 3 humanoid guards or more. My group is badass! We sliced it with our own magic and weapons from the dead soldiers. Though, that was pretty hard for Levy and Lisanna to do.

It hurt a little that my dad had sided with the girls from Rengo's family. Not that Rengo was really evil. What really killed me was his half dead body lying on the floor in Kristina's room. I can't really help him because I would fasten his time of death. It's amazing how 2-sided most humans really are.

Is a mere human that capable for the demon ritual? The cunning girl, nowhere near us, has ruined the peace and answered my rhetorical question.

Lucy guided my group with Pyxis, the key of the compass. There were smooth sails until balls of sweet darkness exploded near our path.

If I wasn't used to flash signals, I would've flinched like the others. The darkness masked some of the dirty odors in the building but a male silouhette appeared. He had very dark hair and clothes. "Rogue?" I recognized and punched him in the face. "What the hell are you doing here!" I'm more furious that he scared me a bit.

But others have different reactions, sigh.

"Ryos~ you're here!" Lucy jumped with open arms.

"Hello Rogue." Levy greeted with a stiff smile, looks like she's still shaken.

"What took you so long? You're a shadow mage for God sake." Cana drooled at thin air. Apparently, she's very lovey dovey with her associated bottle, sake. Good thing I didn't let her take all the sake.

"I agree with Cana but I'm glad you didn't get torn up into pieces." Erza quietly glanced at him and Lucy, breathing in sharply. Is it really that suffocating?

I looked around the building and hadn't changed much. It's still nervewrecking to be here even though I had went here a few times. I called Rengo and Keko. No answer except for Keko.

"Hello?"

"Rena! Thank goodness you're here, I see Rengo and Yunna!"

"Wait. What!? How come she didn't answer?"

"Er... ouch. They're separated but Rengo has no problem fighting her family. I don't know where Yunna is going though, and we lost her."

"THEN FREE THEM! WE NEED THEM AND THEY ARE OUR NAKAMA!"

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry, but I was about to call. My group is really tired for some reason."

"Sorry.. I'm just stressed Keko. How is your group right now?"

"Wendy almost got attacked from the back but her reflexes saved her. Sketo held down 4-6 guards at once and protected everyone's hide in the dark. And now Juvia is separated from us. A hunk distracted her called 'Gray' or something. I think he's from Fairy tail, so we'll be fine."

"How is he here?'

"I don't know. He probably spied on us. And there's the fact that they look like a couple, but he's too embarrassed."

"Aww that's cute. Destroy all the bitches in here."

"Ain't nobody got problems with that right now... BYE!"

Click.

Rogue caught my attention while giving an awkward pat on the back to the girls. "Rena-san, the guards are starting to pile up. I mean, in the entrances and exits." So awkward but anyways..

"Lucy and Rogue, you should be on the defense and Wendy should be with you. The guards are weak so the rest of you guys, beat 'em to the colors of blue and black!" I glared at them.

"Everyone else shall separate in groups of 2 or 3. Got that?" I looked at them closely.

They immediately stiffened. "Yes Ma'am!" And separated, leaving me here alone.

I walked through the corridors of the building and saw a few torches light up, before flying at me. My hair caught aflame as I barely managed to save my face from being melted. I grimaced at my sleek & ocean hair turning into a frizzled edge, those bastards, don't they know how long it took me to grow and groom my hair like that? I heard the steps of demons' echo against the dry ground, their shadows reaching mine.

The sight of built demons surprised me, I guess those old geezers finally used their extra money. I snorted at that idea; yeah right, they just want to look at the money because they hog all of it.

"Well, this should be fun!" I swung at them with my side kick, dodging some of the above ground attacks. Big lugs of oafs, I noted, trying not to screaming at my terrifying weakness.

While I was distracted by the dried blood and temporary fear running though my stomach, someone decided to chop off my arm! But I dodged and managed to grab a hold of the guy's wrist and slammed the ax into two of the oafs. I'm more than offended and a bit shocked but I really should've expected this, I made a trail of dust fly from my running and hid behind a corner.

I waited for a response. Nothing. And I walked out casually, with my feet making no noise and sliding past a few open doors with a flexible posture. Unfortunately; I managed to get a tiny guy's attention by revealing my slow form by the light near him, and he's 3 times louder than his size. Now I'm getting outnumbered by these people, who are from the same class as me as well.

20-40 guards were trying to get my back and sides at the same time, ouch! Those were my sides, Heheheh... they aren't really spineless but they'll pay for it! For everyone, I thought deviously.

I looked at the dark support beams that were supposedly my corner, because of the stench of male demons did not please my nose and my mind, both agreed. They smell like moldy socks! I cringed in horror. And as a few weapons aimed at me, I jumped on the metal bar near the beams and ran away, not before leaving a present for those confused soldiers.

I ran away, but not before taking one of the uniforms from a guy I defeated before and a torch. I grinned at the fire spreading to the floor dropping the evidence and my clothes. That would give the officials the idea of my death, they're too silly and predictable. This will happen soon enough. I ran in the darkness, bumping into a lot of obstacles and arrived in an empty room. Or so I thought, regretting this.

In the room, was a dead man or demon. It was another exiled demon and his blood tempted me to scratch his skin, but no, I left as soon as possible with a bit of guilt in my blood. Nothing got in my way but I saw Yunna... no! She was not supposed to be in that room! I chased after the guards and knocked their minds out with no guilt whatsoever.

I stepped towards Yunna, avoiding the blood spatters that led to her skin, and she squirmed, trying to take the rope out with wariness in her eyes towards me. I almost forgot and took off my helmet. She looked at me with tears falling on her wretched clothes, smiling in relief. I pulled out a knife and quickly cut the rope, feeling like it was more than 5 minutes, the last time I checked. Yunna's form tensed and shook, I didn't register her steps towards me and her arms around my back.

"Thank goodness you're here, Rena.." I didn't do anything but respond with hugging her back with great relief, I didn't want to lose her, or anybody else for that matter. "Watch out...!" She coughed, reaching a hand towards the cracked ceiling. I looked at her view and saw a giant crystal go down onto my place, I quickly threw Yunna to the side, I closed my eyes. I was waiting for my organs to be stabbed by the heavy thing. After a few minutes of closing my eyes, I looked at the stone with no way of falling thanks to Yunna.

That's right, Yunna had released her powers like my father told her to... I soon took out a heavy sword and swung with lots of might. The stone was bashed with few strikes and Yunna relaxed her muscles, gently falling to her knees. I rushed towards her with no expression on my face while carrying her on my back.

fairychime: look guys, I'm sorry for not updating. I was just lazy and I was busy with something I don't remember. I found out some cool remixes from SuicideSheeep (Youtube), buttttttt~ if you guys wanna chill out to a cool song, listen to "idfc" by Blackbear. What are the odds of people actually having an animal name for their careers! :DD I've only listened to a small album of his on YouTube, it's called "Dead Roses".
