Atlas of Worlds (Pt. 1)

"where are they going" ren decided to play a game on his phone. Kia listened in. She was very interested in what the bat was saying. "YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" she picked up her weapon.

The camera panned out, showing the two of them leaving the ruins of the town.

The words 'Twelve years later' appear and the boy and the girl are now young adults, a handsome man and a beautiful girl, respectively.

"Mirui, it's getting dark," the girl tells him. "We should camp out for tonight."

Every game on his phone was replaced by a picture of Volt saying "Har har."

"I was outnumbered, wounded / Swords, arrows, naginatas / But master demanded I continue fighting."

Aubrey tried to use the window of opportunity to attack.

"what a long time" "WHHHHHAAAATTTTTTTT!!???!??! VOLTRAIRE!!!!!!!!!" Ren yelled as her ran to Voltraire to beat the crap out of him. "Why did your master wish for you to continue?" Kia asked before hearing ren scream. The attack was successful. Liela hit the ground. She glared at aubrey.

They set up camp in the forest.

Even after all this time, the girl couldn't get the boy to talk. "What if they're gone?" she asked. "What if we're just losing our time?" The boy's stern look and display of swordsmanship on a nearby tree made his motivation clear.

He wanted revenge.

Volt opted to make a tactical retreat by running like there was no tomorrow.

"Part of trials / Preparation for a tough situation / When survival was key."

Aubrey pressed his foot on the hand that was holding the scythe, sword aiming down at her. "What's gotten into you?"

"that's not a good idea.." ren chased volt. "WHERE ARE MY GAMES?!??!" "Ah..that makes sense" "GGGRRRR" She used her free hand to shit a beam of dark energy at him.

The girl sighed, looking at the ground.

Night came and both of them appeared to be sleeping. The boy was merely resting; he had to make sure everything was safe.

"In a place where they can do no harm and no harm can be done to them," Ren explained. "Encrypted recycle bin."

"I only believe in skill / But that day, my passing of the test / I attribute to luck."

Aubrey was blown away, a green aura around his whole body absorbing most of it.

"good" "you little...you have E five seconds before the next time your found in the trash can!! " "Luck can be helpful but not at the same time" She got up. She made these shadows go to him. "They'll fix you...they'll fix everything..."

Murui hears something and stands up, weapon drawn. He look behind him and back. Around the trees.

A shot of a blade descending upon him, but he is quick to block it.

He locks his eyes with his would be-assailant. They burn with an inhuman glow to them.

"4465 and my favourite thing in the world are the password, no space between them, all lowercase. Can you guess?"

"But still, it helped / Would be dead without it / But many people were be alive."

Aubrey got up and fought them, slashing and dodging.

"oh no" "lava lamps?" "So then you weren't alone in this" the shadows increased in numbers. They wanted a hold of Audrey

Mirui fought against the assassin, kicking him against a tree, but when he ran to make the final blow, the assassin disappeared in the shadows and appeared behind him.

The sound of fighting woke the girl up, but she too faced an assassin of her own.

Her lackluster fighting style made her barely able to hold up, her assassin succeeding in slash her leg.

Volt sighed. "Liela."

The assassin sighed. "Without me, a lot of others would / Part of my training required me to kill / My hands still have the blood of the innocent and unfortunate."

Aubrey, nonetheless continued to fight them, trying to move in closer to Liela.

He had to stop her.

"noo!!" "My Second guess" "that's a shame..." She floated backwards. She even threw beams at him to distract him.

Mirui killed his assassin, only to hear the girl scream out in pain a few second after.

The camera showed her fighting and not doing very well. Eventually. she is disarmed and stabbed with a sword, procuding the same scream from earlier.

"Go get your games. Addict."

The assassin had nothing more to say.

He dodged the first, neutralized the second with sword, but the third one got him good.

The aura protecting him took the hit, but it was just a faint glow now. Was only good for one more direct hit.

Aubrey stood up, holding his side in pain with one hand, a sword in the other. "Why? Why are you doing this?"

Prima was sad. She knew it was hopeless for the girl to live now. "I'm not an addict!!" Kia stared at the ninja. Devionus produced more shadows to go into aubrey. Dispite how she was attacking she did want him alive.

The sword was swung out of her body violently and she fell to the ground, bleeding.

Then, in a single swoop, Mirui bisected the second assassin, killing him instantly.

"Then why were games your first idea? And of all things, why a phone?"

"I have nothing more to say / I hope one day my debt is repaid."

A single went through his arm and the aura failed, flashing all around his body before dissipating.

"it's too late...." "I didn't bring my game system when I came here!" "Maybe. Till have to wait for that" Devionus smiled. Now the time has come! Show him what you have showed me!" All the shadows went on Aubrey. They wanted to change him like they did to her.

Mirui ran to the girl, his hand applying pressure to the wound. "Niki!"

That was the first time he spoke.

"Want to borrow mine?"

The assassin stayed silent.

Aubrey struggled and tried to fight event as the shadows had his arm in a bind.

"he spoke?!?" "Yeah.." kia was silent too. The shadows went all over his body.

Mirui did what he could to make a makeshift bandage bandage out of his shirt a bolt.

The next scene, him shirtless and revealing carefully sculpted muscles, wooed almost all female members of the audience who were also watching the movie.

A time-lapse whowed him not leaving Nike's side for the entire night, holding her by the hand, his green eyes slowly accumulating bags under them.

"My room, second shelf on the right. Try not to scratch the CDs, okay?"

"I should leave," the assassin proclaimed. "I only bring bad luck and misfortune."

Aubrey continued to struggle, trying to get his aura back up again.

"how nice of him..." "You have a room in this mansion? When did that happen?" "No I don't think you do." Devionus walked to him. "Why do you resist?"

She slowly opened his eyes, went to say somethng, but Mirui placed his hand on his lips. He wanted her to conserve her strengh.

They would need to reach the closest town, fast.

"I share a room with Liela."

The assassin stood up. He disagreed; he was gonna leave.

"Because I know this isn't right, that this isn't you!"

"godspeed to them..." "Of course you do..." "Bye then..." "But this is me...it's always.. Been me......" She grabbed him.

After walking proved to be painful, she carried her, stopping every one in a while to rest, both her and himself. "I'm just... slowing you down."

Mirua placed her hand inside of his.

She looked really pale.

Volt folded his arms. "Shoo! Go play your games."

The assassin left the mansion. His more intimate knowledge of it meant he didn't bump into any doors or walls on the way out.

"No..."

Prima knew what would happen now. Ren left going upstairs. "Yes...now I will silence you...and you will give me all of your energy..."

Mirui just looked her in the eyes, replying with a stern "No." For a brief moment, she saw him as a boy, with those same eyes.

He gave her some water to drink, but she refused, knowing how valuable it was. "You know you're never gonna make it to the city without me dragging you down."

"He shouldn't be left alone," Ayah says. "I'm going after him."

"Please! Please, don't..."

Prima didn't look. "Okay" Devionus started seeping the energy from him. "You'll be a part of something greater..."
