Holding hands gently walking towards the sunset on the streets of Prontera, always busy and bustling with people and merchants trying to earn an honest living selling ware from all over the world.He places his hand on her side of the face gently passing his fingers under her ear and her ear ring rests on his index finger as his lips slowly close up on hers and she closes her eyes in trust and both kiss in a melodramatical fashion then doves fly up and church bells ring as the sky turns Red,The city is in Ruins,his hands are covered in blood and shes on the floor bleeding barely alive, breathing heavily as tears were running down her blood stained face, the tears blended in with the blood making a reddish like wine cry.It all came down crashing to him like a glass window, one second happiness and the other second complete misery. He lifts her body with his arms and he notices something was odd, his body felt weaker and weaker, he takes a look to the side where strangely he felt a wet warmth in his body."You have to be fucking kidding me...." he replied as he noticed there was a claw like object was embedded deep into his side and he was bleeding severely.He holds her body close to him as he shivered and he began to loose his strength little by little, then she whispered into his ear.
" I Love you Saiichi, I love you bunche-s-s..."The wind blowed as she ended saying this and stopped breathing as if she just had used her last breath of her life just to express his love for him.Tears well up in his eyes as he could not believe the reality, he was going to die, and his only reason to continue living and entire devotion to has also vanished in his arms and the harsh reality there was nothing he could have done to have saved her.He holds her tightly onto his chest placing his lips gently on hers...
"Aneko...I love you too"He softly then collapsing on the ground with her on his arms as a his vision became blurry.. He said to himself.
"so this is it eh?...Man i fucked up hardcore...Im sorry sweetheart.."

Then a heavenly like voice faint and barely hearable speaks.

"A.-ko and Sa-chi,You..Ha....een.. mmuned to...see.. the val...irie..."
And a bright white light envelops them both as he looses consciousness.

He wakes up,sweating, and sighs in relief.

"was it a dream?.."

As he gets up he notices something strange with his body, he feels 10 times lighter and more agile, including his body strength with showy lean muscles and his scars are gone, he runs towards the mirror in the bathroom and glances at his body but notices something unusual in his face also the fact he seems to have grown more mature like also his hair was longer.For some reason his eye scar where the vagabond wolf was still there, so he removes his blinder that he uses to cover one eye and as soon his eye is exposed to the light he experienced bone crushing pain on it,he barely fights it and opens his eyes to see his eye is back in the socket, unharmed, but something was off, his pupil color was red unlike his other eye.
"Thats odd..." He covers his eye immediately with the blinker that seemed to bring relief to the pain as he hears footsteps and 3 muffled voices coming from the hallways just outside the room.Then in panic he scurries and hides under the bed and tries to remain calm and analyze the situation so he takes a deep breath and relaxes all his body and mind sprawling out under the bed as the footsteps became louder and louder and the voices 2 of em were masculine and one feminine.
About 5 seconds later the door opens as he watches from under the bed, a female like figure, hence he could only see up to her Waist, shoes and a fancy high ranking clerigy dress,a high priest of high ranking due to the threads on her dress and the runes on her shoes,she was most likely a healer.

"Saii?!?... I wonder where the weirdo went.."
Her gentle feminine voice seemed familiar, he felt melancholic as he heard the voice as if it had been years since he heard it.
She turns around to the door again where 2 men were standing, one had an outfit military like with military boots and lots of pockets on his pants, he also noticed the man was carrying a huge bow since one part of it was visible along with a quiver.The other had casual like clothing and looked slim and muscular legged,Saii assumed the guy was one of those muscle slim freaks that defy reality much like his body build,with belts all over and he was carrying a huge axe like weapon on his back, his hair was long and silk like golden and it was long enough to be on his waist.
He wondered to himself who it was.
"Thanks again Heii,and also thankies Silk, thank you for lending him this spare clothing and money till we recover from this mess, i dont know whats going on honestly" she said in a happy tone and one of them says in a masculine voice, even more masculine than his own that utterly made him jealous."Haha No problems miss Aneko, Just remind the looser he owes me one."
Saiichi was so angered by solely hearing the voice he gripped one of the bed legs and started gritting his teeth.And the other one had a lax and relaxed voice, kinda like a druggie but in a cool fashion, this voice seemed very familiar."Psh chill, just make sure hes healthy and well soon, il take you both to an all you can eat buffet to compete who eats the fastest.I Love spending money on the dude." He says almost mockingly of Saii's status in money.
Saiichi Grips his hand tightly almost snaring in anger like an animal and readies to charge out and beat the shit out of the two strangers.
Then he realized something, one of them said Aneko, so he waited till she chatted a bit more then she greeted them goodbye and both men walked off in the distance as the door closed slowly.
She walked to the other side of the room,it had a small table big enough for two, she sat down and layed the bag of food on it and opened it.The smell of fried potatoes and cheese burgers was driving Saii mad and he began to claw the carpeted floor till it was only wood.
"Saii, I know your in hereee"She said in a melodic like tune and in his nervousness he leaps up and bangs his head on the bed.Immediately she notices hes hiding under it and walks towards it slowly as he became more nervous by each step she would take.Each step seemed like a hammer hitting into his consciousness and his very soul was shaken by em.Then in desperation he yells out:
"STOP!!" She immediately stops walking towards him concerned and confused, then he extends his hand from under the bed and opens and closes it repeatedly."...Give me one" She looks at his hand and he only hears silence.He knew he was in danger of some sort, a familiar danger that he seems to have lived many times before.She Stomps his hand and angrly snarls:
"SAIICHI BLOODBANE, YOU COME OUT UNDER THE BED IMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!"
He Squirms nervously out of the bed while licking his red hand with a heel mark on it trying to relieve the pain,he looks at her and is amazed at her charming beauty,golden blonde like hair, it was longer than he remembered, her dress was amazingly elaborated, only a top ranking priestess of the clerigy would wear such an imposing magnificence of a clothes, Her staff was shiny almost like adamantum with gold laces and it still had the poring keychain he had gifted her, her breasts were bigger and she was a bit taller than he remembered, he noticed she was wearing a long necklace with a small ring to the end, and he grabbed his chest to notice he had one too.
"Are you ok? She said to him while blushing and barely being able to keep her stare on him.
"Yeah im fine...where are we? What happened? who were those guys?" He replied and asked confused as he sat down on the bed crossing his legs and passing his hand on his hair.
Aneko stands up and slowly walks towards him, then leaps and tackle glomps him while nuzzling and giggling in a happy tone." I missed you i missed you I missed you!!!" She said while laying her head on his chest and he seemed very confused."But its been only one night, i just cant remember what happened!"She looks at him concerned and turns her glance towards the window.
"You seriously dont remember..?"He lays his hand on his head and starts scratching gently."Nope i sure dont haha" He said Nervously.
A moment passes in silence as the wind blows from the window inside and the silk like curtains float up heavenly like beauty.
"Saii...Its been 3 years since...you defeated baphomet and saved prontera...we nearly died, I thought i did but i woke up completely healed and you were gone!."
She pauses and glances at him as tears well up in her eyes.
"Saii ........ I looked for you for 3 years and 5 months,you dont remember where you were all this time?"She asked while her eyes filled with grief and worry glanced over his, he was desperately confused and wished he knew how to answer, so instead of giving her an answer he remained silent.She remained on him for a short period of time then fell asleep nuzzling his chest, He placed his hand on her head gently as he looked out the window, where hammering and the robust noise of people could be heard.Then she softly said in a soft tone and letting out a sigh of relief:
" Im glad your back, i missed you so much." Small tears fall from her eyes onto his chest as he places his hands on his forehead in desperation.

"What is happening to me...? Whats going on?... I cant remember a thing..."

Saiichi Soon falls asleep again.

On another part of the world far far away in a small town called veins...

A Young man with a body build and height approximately the exact same as Saiichi, white haired and his right eye was red, but his left was green.He bangs on the door to be let in since a strong sandstorm was blowing so the man was covered in a shawl.
He Began to get impatient and kicked the town entrance door with such force that bent the 12 inch thick stainless steel door inwards just a bit, shortly after a guard noticed his presence by the sound of the steel.
"whos is there?
The guard asked out loud but he didn't reply,so the guard slides open the small peep slide hole on the door made also from steel and takes a look at him.
Excuse me sir, do you have a passport?"
He takes out his blades and jams one of em into the peephole killing the guard immediately without even blinking,it seemed as time slowed down as the murder occurred, hence many the guards stayed speechless upon the act.
A Young woman emerges from the distance covered in a white silver like cloak from the distance.
"Oi Zaku,what did Master say about needless killing?"
"Hisa stop ruining my fun..."He swings the blade hard enough to make the blood from the victim splatter off the blade onto the wall.The guards whom witnessed it all were in disbelief but one of them snaps out of the shock and sounds the alarm,quickly many more guards stand front of the gate and ensemble while one of the higher ranking guards yells out orders.
"This is why the master said No needless killing."
"Why dont you shut the f*** up and do your job, we are on a mission."
Sigh.."Assassins are so boring sometimes..."She begins moving her hands in a spell like fashion and looks at the gate."well, would you move over please?"
The young man backslides away in time as she casts a barrage of frozen crystals of sand that pierce the steel wall like it was a piece of paper only to reveal all the guards set up a fire squadron ready to pull the triger on her.
"Shit! Zakuna!"
"You are so fucking slow girl, they were dead as soon you noticed em."
The guards remain motionless and one of them makes a smal grunt.Soon after all their heads fall to the ground an small splashes of blood fly up painting the walls entirely red crimson as he begins laughing like a madman.
"You surely live up to your name, Zakuna Jouichirou..I find it hard to believe you are that retard's brother."
The last remaining guard whom was in the watch tower was shivering and sweating.
"Its ...Zakuna...ZAKUNA THE BLADE TRIGGER!!"
As the guard screamed and began climbing down the stairs to warn the towns people he gets blasted by a magical force that turns the man into dust.
Zakuna looks over and whistles.."you have to teach me that Hisa Palefire, Haha to think us of all people would be paired, The Trigger Blade and The Madness Maelstrom"
Hisa continues walking over to town and shoves him out of the way.
"HEY NOW, IL KILL YOU!!"
"look behind you.."
A small poison tipped arrow was stuck on the wall where he was standing.
"If your gonna be that sloppy, just go home."
He takes the arrow and throws it at a bush, then a man crawls out of it soon after dying, and he continues walking towards the town..

As the storm settles down, the town is entirely silent and No one in sight all over, everyone was massacred, the women,the kids,the elderly,everyone without mercy, no one lived.

Back in prontera~

Saii wakes up and sneakingly he gets Aneko off him,Lays her comfortably on the bed and tucks her in while removing her shoes.Then he sits down, turns on the tv, and starts eating some of the food when a faint knock on the door is heard.

He grabs a butter knife and sneaks by to the door to look at the peephole.
"Who is it?" He asks as he slides his eye slowly on the peephole.
"um dude...its silk?"
Saii slowly unlocks the door and darts back to the chair where he was.
"Its open!"
Silk opens the door and walks in taking a look at Saii, then tackles him and choke holds him nuzzling his cheek.
"LIKE OH MY GOD MAN ITS BEEN YEARS YEAH MAN YEAH!!!"
"IIIIII caaaaaaaaaaaaant Breatheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..........."

Aneko wakes up and stares at both of em,it seemed as she had become a fire breathing dragon of the very abyss of hell.(she hates being woken up)

"Dude like totally, you got her mad.."Silk said jokingly while trying to walk out the room but saii pulls him back in by the hair.
"YOU ARE IN THIS AS MUCH AS I AM SILKY BOI!!!"
Aneko Takes her staff in hand and looks at them both menacingly.

"Like dude...Spare me please T__T"
"Im sorry, i really am T__T"

Both whimper softly as the door swings open and an Tall armored man walks in carrying a box.
"Silk you forgot to bring in the b..."
He looks at Aneko with the staff in hand and the sees the guys sweating and nervously frozen.
"Imma Just walk out and let you guys finish ok?"
Aneko smiles "Itl be just a second"
Both look at the man angrily snarling and silk grabs him by the armored glove.
"SLATE YOU TRAITOR!!!!!!"
Slate manages to wriggle off his hand from the gauntlet and closes the door behind him as both Silk and Saii receive a massive beating.
Suddenly..
Short Fanfare of music on the television interrupts them.
" Im Aaronock and this is Today's Rune Midgard News night edition, today another town in the Schwartz Republic was completely annihilated, its believed that the perpetrator is no other than the world renown famous hero Saiichi Bloodbane whom was reported missing 3 years ago, according to surviving eyewitness accounts he was slaughtering people with assassin blades.Accompanied with a mysterious woman whom her identity is yet to be revealed,thats all for now, why we dont go into today's popular fashions with Namine."
"Hey there people toda-"
Viewpoint switches to top view of the room.
~ silence fills the air like a stagnant musty essence as only the tv people talking seemed to be muffled by the sheer tension~

Silk looks at him.

"Saii...?"

Saii looks over with a confused look.

"......"

"Hey wait a minute, i think i remember something...UGH!"

Saii begins to shake uncontrollably and a red aura emanates from his body.
"SAII YOU ARE CURSED!! HERE LET ME HELP!"

"NO STAY BACK!!!!"

Silk walks back and gets as close as he can to the wall scared.
"Saii dude, like let her heal you bro."
Aneko casts a blessing on him and he falls unconscious, not knowingly of the situation slate walks back in again to see him tumble to the floor and gasps.
"Aneko arent you being a bit rough there?"
Silk hands slate his gauntlet back.And grabs Saii chucking him over his shoulder.
"Lets take him to the pope Aneko,He might know how to help him."
"Right!"
"Oh...Okay...? Whats going on now?"

"Il explain on the way bro"

As soon as they walk out the hotel,they walk towards slate's peco that was tied to a water hydrant when a big number of Raydric guards surround the guys with spears aimed at them.
"Im guessing this is part of the explanation?"
Aneko smirks "Wow slate you are such a genius!"
"Thants not very nice" He says in a confused tone.

"Hand Over Saiichi Bloodbane!" The guard said with a tenacity and kill intent,something was definitely off here.
"The woman, Grab her too!!!"

Silk places Saii on Slate's peco and tips his hat a bit while taking off the Leather straps from the Axe making it fall and dig itself half way in the pavement by its sheer weight.Then gripping it lightly he lifts it by one hand and places it over his shoulder while cracking his neck.Then turns over to slate and gives him a thumbs up. Slate grabs Aneko by the waist and chucks her over the peco while removing his spear from it and then slapping the peco's behind to make it run."AH SLATE HOW DO I RIDE THIS THING!!!" Aneko Yelled Scared as the peco bawked and ran fast across the crowds of guards heading to them then leaping out the town walls.

"Like dudes, your gonna have to go through me to get em!"
Slate brandishes his gigantic spear swinging it around.
"I Hate Violence, could we solve this issue diplomatically?"
Silk smirks at Slate.
"Dude like Ya Know thats not gonna happen right?"
"Doesn't hurt to ask.."
Both of them stomp the ground simultaneously with a rithm and clap hands as they take a deep breath.

"WE ARE THE KNIGHTS OF LUNCH, TOGETHER WE WILL DEFEAT ARMIES AND HUNGER!"

Both said At the same time as they readied their weapons for combat.

The guards start laughing hard and both of them start plowing trough them as more and more seemed to come.Left and right,Soldiers came at them from all sides.
"Now!" Silk said loudly as both clasped hands and ran in a circle while swinging their weapons in a circular fashion knocking down hundreds of guards sort of like a spinning top.
"Dude...I could go for some cake right now, got my munchies raging!" He said as he was nonchalantly axing down people left and right.
"Brother, I dont think that food not is the appropiate topic of talk right now." Slate replied as he was fending off a guard with his spear and slamming another with the shield.

It seemed endless till something strange was happening,Guards were falling apart for no reason and a beauty walked by them till she reached Silk and Slate whom were a bit exhausted due the fighting.She had a graceful walk and very revealing clothes.A Gypsy by trade ,Inasad was always turning necks, sometimes even the bad way.
"Need help Sexies?"
"INASAD!! Oh Duuude im happy to see you.!" Silk sounded relieved.
"Dont think im doing this for free, you will owe me for my services." She said as she pulled a tarot card from a card deck and cracked her red whip on the other hand.

* Ending Theme : Akai Tsuki Aoi Tsuki - Akatsuki - Mushiuta *
(Sorry to all the MushiUta fans but i believed the song was the best suited for the series. If you have another one and wish to suggest it fel free to post it.)

"Come lovelies, I have enough love for everyone."She said as she winked and cracked her whip again as tons more of guards came rushing towards the group.
