Reason

"Why...Why aren't they moving to the city?" Amiya questioned herself. Move the city? What is she talking about? Cities can't move or can it?"


"Amiya what are you talking about? Cities can't move."


"Ah, Doctor are you confused? I forgot to tell you that the city we are in, Chernobog."


What?


"Are we going to like, pack the city in a small bag and walk off?"


"Hehe, that's funny Doctor but no, we will talk about this when we have time but right now we need to regroup with Nearl." Doberman stepped into our conversation.


"And Amiya?"


"Yes?"


"Didn't Dr. Kal'tsit told us a catastrophe is going to happen soon?"


"Yes, that's why I don't know why reunion hasn't made their move yet...unless"
"Unless they want to destroy this city right?"


"Right Doctor!"


A catastrophe, from what little memory I have of it is that I know it is dangerous. Dangerous enough I guess to make cities semi-nomadic.


I pondered over our horrible situation, out-manned, out-gunned and even perhaps they have better equipment. *Sigh* This isn't going well is it?


"HEY HEADS UP, NEARL IS JUST UP AHEAD AND SHE SEEMS TO BE IN TROUBLE!!" Ayano's scream alerted us to what was about to be another brawl.

(Talulah POV)


I stood upon the burning walls of the once-great city known as Chernobog. How pathetic, so this is all that this city has? All the pain and misery you have caused us, us infected will finally be felt by this city's people. I gripped the handle of my sword tightly fastened to my hips, as I jumped down and regrouped with the main forces of Reunion. Everyone gave their attention to me, even without being able to see their faces I know that they are scared of me. Even if we are on the verge of victory I must confirm something myself. I must see her again because it might be... no, no reason for me to get my hopes up.


A person wearing shorts that are white with his top complimenting it with the same colour approached me.


"Ahhh Boss, it's nice to see that you are finally going to join us do the finishing move on this disgusting city."


Mephisto, Mephisto was this boy's name, for a child he has a few screws loose on his head.


"Mephisto, where is your friend? Faust right?"


"Right behind you ma'am" I quickly pulled my sword and pointed the tip towards his neck. He could do nothing but raise his hands in anxiety.


"U-u-umm what did I do?" He stammered his eyes looking everywhere to find fault on his actions. I retracted my sword as I realized it was just him. 


"It's fine Faust...Boss is just on edge right?" Mephisto said.


"Yes, after all, we are in deep territory and there might still be "rats" lurking around waiting for their move," I answered.


Faust regained his composure and asked me, "Don't we have the government of Chernobog under complete disarray?" He tilted his head as he wondered while putting a finger under his chin.


"Ahhh Faust my friend, I think you've forgotten something." 


"Mhmm? What might it be?"


"Of course it's R--


I stepped in to finish his sentence.


"Rhodes Island. I am not the type to believe rumours but, rumour has it that their precious "Doctor" is hidden within the city. From what we can gather they are already here and killed several of our squads." My words sparked some reaction from the Reunion members.


"Those traitors! We are infected yet we fight each other!"


"They should never be forgiven!" Added another one.


Reunion Movement. An organization I created for the sole purpose of giving us infected, equality and a cure to heal our disease. We started off as protesters but, they started using force against us over and over again. I even asked my sister, Ch'en the captain of the Lungmen Guard Department, to give us help and give us men to help our cause but she refused. Having said that our ways are wrong who is she to say that, she knows nothing about the prejudice we get each day of our lives.


My daughter agreed, the last remaining family that I had left me, Kiyo. She didn't agree with my methods and so she left, in search of her aunt Ch'en. I was once again alone... Just like how he found me. 


I shook my head to get rid of those thoughts and looked towards the city. I must find that person.


"Mephisto get your squad ready, attack Rhodes Island and...."


He gazed at me with curiosity filling his eyes and chuckled.


"And what Boss?" He gave me a smug grin and that made me hate this person even more.


"Find a person within the ranks of Rhodes Island with silver hair and take her to me."


Everyone had questioning looks on their faces, well those that don't have a mask. 


"Why might that be Boss?" He placed his hands behind his back and leaned forward. When he is this close I can see the insanity in his eyes.


"Ever since he died you've been more haggard, and the description of this said person fits him perfectly why might that be?" He asked full of confidence.


"Do not go there."


I said with a cold tone that not even the flames of my hatred could melt. Though saying that, he didn't seem fazed at all. Instead, he kept staring at me with eyes containing mixed emotions.


"The person who I'm trying to find is my sister..." That got a reaction from him and finally removed that annoying grin on his face.


"Your sister? Isn't Ch'en the only sibling you have?"


"The only sibling I have, that you know of," I answered


"Mhmm will she help us? I'm saying this from Reunions' perspective after all what if you're just accomplishing your own agenda only, and forget about us?" He asked his tone laced with venom. Is he trying to pick a fight?


"Of course, from what I heard she is now a medic for Rhodes Island. I want your team to go after the squad she is on. Failure is not an option understood?" I glared towards him and all he did was smile.


"Ai ai Boss, we will get your princess right, Faust?"


"Umm yeah.."


They took off towards the center of Chernobog where Rhodes Island should be. I felt a cold breeze past by behind me.


"Aren't you late FrostNova?" Behind me was a white-haired girl with long bunny ears. She had a white outfit and a mean glare on her beautiful porcelain face.


"Sorry Madam Talulah, I was held up by the Royal Guards. Are we finishing our plan for this city?" 


"Yes of course."


"I see then shall I not be needed anymore? We are in the final stage of our plan."


'Yes, you may leave." As she turned around, I thought of something. Knowing  Mephisto and his tendency to always play around with his enemy he would surely fail this mission. I called out to her once again.


"Actually FrostNova, I have a mission for you." She turned her head towards me, her hair covering her left eye.


"What might it be?" 


"I want you to help Mephisto complete his mission." I heard an audible "tsk" coming from her direction. 


"Why must I help that psychopath?" her voice filled with anger and displeasure. I knew this would happen at some point. There has always been some tension between them after... No, now is not the time for this.


"Help him because you would be helping me understand?" I changed my words a bit so that she will agree.


"Fine... But I request compensation for this later." what might she want? I will take of it later, but for now--


"Go then, you will get your compensation or reward." I saw the end of her mouth curl upwards to form a smile, but she didn't. She walked away from me with her squad, the Yeti Squadron. They were all orphans, made into slaves just because they were infected, disgusting. I look back towards the main force of Reunion as if knowing what to do they all turned, facing to me. I know what they want, revenge and I shall give it to them.


"Let them know we infected won't be held down...Go." I said with a monotone voice as I glanced over each member with my eyes.


"YESSSSSS!!!" They shouted with anger and hatred. They started marching to go deeper into the city to finally destroy it once and for all, leaving me alone in my thoughts. 


I made a promise to save the infected, an oath after he saved me, Takehito, my husband. I will make sure the infected won't get anymore prejudice even if it cost me my life. I don't have anything to live for after all. I looked towards the sky, it looked very similar. The same sky I saw when I cried on his shoulders. I will try my best to make this happen.


I'm still trying.
