Chapter 1 - The Starting Point

I'm death and I accept it..

Yet, why I'm breathing right now? How could I feel the wind passing me, like when im still alive?

Did I really die? Or this is just mere a dream? Impossible..

Opening my eyes, the situation around me is not the best way to clear my confusion away which give the exact opposite answer. Laying in the ground, I feel bruises all of my body. The first question I could make out from my condition was "Where am I?"

"Oh, you finally awake! Are you okay?" Inquire the girl besides me, that I just aware of them now.

"Did they force you to the limit again?" Ask the boy who looking almost similar with the girl, identical twin?

"I don't know.. What is this place?" I ask which shocked them,

"You don't know what's this place?" Gasp the girl

"This is the faculty to root ourselves death here or more likely a laboratory to turn us to be a weapon" Answer the more old looking boy, who just joining us.

"Takuto-nii don't said it like that, you make it sounds bad" protest the girl.

"Well, that was a well-known fact though, Kumi-chan" chuckled Takuto

"Nice to meet you, my name's Hiiro. As you can see, Kumi is my sister. What's yours?" Said Hiiro, gesturing himself to introduce Kumi and Takuto to me.

"Minato.. It's Arisato Minato"

"Well Minato.. Starting now, we're family, the comrade in arms at this place. Welcome to our family" Takuto greeted following by Kumi and Hiiro.

One year after..

"Minato! I got a good news" said Kumi with so much happiness.

"Tell me, what's the news Kumi.."

It's have been a year since my stay in here, and I still didn't know, how can I ended in here. My memoris was hazy before I came here, and I only remebering my name.

In a year, I grow closer with Kumi, Hiiro and Takuto who I think as family. I'm also befriend with the others in the lab as well, but I'm more closest to the first I mentioned before than the others. Kumi and Hiiro were an 7 years old kids, same age with me and also identical twin, while Takuto itself was 9 years old, they were an orphans, the victims from wars. How they ended here is because this faculty in the outer appearance was orphanage but a lab inside which separate us from outside world. I wonder if my parents still alive and looking for me as I don't remember it much. Or did they intentionally send me here? From most information I heard, we're here because we're unwanted or orphan.

The lab or orphanage at the outer, is the place where they run a research how to make us to be a more stronger than others or a weapons as Takuto stated it. Or soldiers added me, because they also train us to be proficient with martial arts and weaponry. Sometimes I wonder, why everyone outside didn't questions how the lab run, or more exactly the orphanage run. Never I saw anyone step outside from this place or vise versa which was suspicious, right? This place was hell. They never let us see the sun or moon or star, all we can see is wall. Sometimes they beat us if we not doing well in our test and make us to beat the lab never ever let us going to outside, which is going outside was a dream everyone in here dreams of. I hate this place. That's why I really glad that I still have Kumi, Hiiro and Takuto with me. They're my family, the precious one at that, which I'm going to sacrifice myself to protect them.

"Minato~... Are you listening, what I'm saying"? Said Kumi pinching my cheek

"Ouch.. Stop it Kumi-chan, it's hurt. I'm sorry, can you repeat it again, please? "

"Well, that's punishment for your daydreaming when I was talking. But because I'm so generous today, I'm going to let you go just with that" huffed Kumi a bit upset. "I want you to be the first one to know it, though" said her in the low voice which I can't understand.

"Okay, miss so generous today, what's with the good news, then?" Interrupt Takuto laughing who was walking to our way with Hiiro behind. Tsk, was heard from Kumi, which I doubt if I mistaking a thing or not.

"Well, you see.. I got permission to go outside now" said Kumi, proud of herself.

One of the things which making everyone doing their best in this faculty was, you can go outside if you could completed all the test or success at that.

"Which means you already completed all the test, Kumi-chan?" said Hiiro, widen eyes.

"Um, yeah. Actually no.."

"Then how?!" Ask Takuto impatient.

"Well, today's test. I don't know how, but I could use magic" which make us speechless.

Magic as now, it's a product of neither legends nor fairy tales, but instead has become a technology of reality since a time unknown to people. To be able to use magic, not only talent was needed but also high aptitude to use it. Well, now magic was known for they existence, but not everyone blessed to use it. So it was a big news for us when Kumi said, she could use it.

"Kumi-chan. Congrats for you. Now you'll be able to go outside, and going to the place that you want" I smiled, while patting her head.

"Yup, Kumi-chan. Congrats okay, finally you can get out from this crappy place now. Although you can't going to the place you'd like with 'him', though" Takuto chimmed in.

"What do you mean Takuto-nii?" glared Kumi which Takuto whisper to her something embarrassing(?) that making Kumi blushes furiously.

"Ho-How do y-you know?!"

"Well~ is not that obvious enough?" Said Takuto playfully.

"Takuto-nii, don't teasing Kumi too much. And Kumi, I'll miss you" said Hiiro hugging Kumi which she return it.

Hiiro was a silent person, a very opposite to Kumi that was really energetic one. He may be cold outside and seems like he didn't care about everything from the others people's perception. But, actually he really care about Kumi and always try to stay calm in the outside so Kumi didn't worry about him, I know it deep inside my heart that he was really worried about Kumi. There's one time in the past when Kumi was getting beat up by the others, Hiiro was running to the guard in charge, desperately asking for him be the one to get the beat up, instead of Kumi. That incident was the one make me change my opinion about Hiiro.

"Well, Hiiro~ it's not like we'll never each other again, it's just means I'm going to get a bit busy though starting now on" smiled Kumi happily, which none of us think it's going to be a last time we see Kumi like this.

A month after Kumi's permission out..

"How come, we can't visit Kumi now?!" Yells Hiiro

"Calm yourself down, Hiiro. Maybe Kumi was tired or something so she doesn't want any visitors at the moment" said Takuto anxiously.

"But it's already a month since we know her got permission to going outside" said Hiiro in anger.

"Calm down Hiiro, lets try it in the few days again, okay?" I said try to calm him which he nod to my relief.

It has been a month since Kumi got her permission and she never visit us as she got promoted. Since then she also got herself a private room only for personal use now (is what I heard), which was luxurious compare to all of us, who sleeping together in a big room without bed.

In the month, some of us also got promoted and since then, we never seen them again like Kumi. Did they forget us now since they are different from us? Did they think we're a failure, so they don't want to related with us? Like when I got abandoned so many times?. No no no, how can I think like that, Kumi will never ever do that to me, Hiiro and Takuto. That's why we're a family. Wait-, did I think, I got abandoned before? Why would I even know that?

The day after..

"Well, lets do our best today, so we got promoted.. Okay, guys?" Said Takuto which me and Hiiro agree.

"Pffttt~" I turn my head as I heard that. There, I see someone try to hide her laugh.

"What's funny, Yuna-san?"

"You don't know yet you guys were trying to go in? If isn't funny, tell me then?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, seeing you not that stupid, follow me tonight, if you really want to know. And obviously try your best to fail today, if not it'll be the end." said Yuna as she turn away leaving me alone, confusing me.

What Yuna said was making me anxious, so I decided to tell Hiiro and Takuto about it, which both of them telling me it was stupid to believe Yuna, as she was a big liar and encourage me to forget about it.

I can't concentrate on the test, as I remembered what Yuna said. I try my best to forget about it but my guts keeps telling me, this thing was really important. Seeing I'm not like myself, Hiiro and Takuto decide to join me tonight.

"Well, delayed one day for promotion is a small thing anyway~ So I'll keep you company tonight" Said Takuto playfully.

"I want to promoted as soon as possible, but if im going to be promoted, I'd like it together with you guys" said Hiiro with smile. Not knowing to us, Yuna was there, listening to our conversation.

"So you came, huh? Including two of you" said Yuna emotionless

"Yes, well.. Please tell us now, what do you mean" inquiry Hiiro

"We waste our one day for promotion to know it you know, I hope it worth" Takuto added.

"Oh~ how sweet of you guys, I promise it's going to worth or rather you going to be thankful to me though" replied Yuna smiled. Somehow I feel a sarcasm from her, here.

We walking in silent for 30 minutes to our destination, after that.

"Remind me, why we're here again" ask Takuto which I agree.

In front of us, was a door that connecting to the room named "Ladies Room".

"Sshh.. Do you want to know or not?" Ask Yuna angrily.

"I really hope is going to worth it" continues Hiiro in a low voice.

We then entering the room. Yuna quickly close the door, and then frantically checking something.

"What're you doing now?" I ask her curiously.

"Checking if we're safe to go or not"

"What for?" A bit shocked hearing my nonchalant question, Yuna is next answer my me cringe.

"We can died, you know" that word obviously shocked us.

Died or death, not the word I really like to use, or experience it. I know everyone going to died sometime, they can died in battle, died from killed, died from illness and the others from now on. But still, how they easily using the word, just not right to me. I don't know why, but I didn't fear or afraid of myself dying. Sometimes I feel 'they' were so close to me yet out of my reach. It's not like I'm chasing it, it's just, I'm feeling so familiar with it, I feel calm around it. Like 'they' have accompany me from a long time, protecting me until now. Although I know it feels so wrong to think about this, yet not in the slightest I want to chased away this feeling.

Did I just appreciate death? Yes, I do. For this I won't denying myself.

"I'm going to ask you, for the last time. Are you guys sure, you'd like to do it? You can't back down now, after you say 'yes'. It's going to risk our lives, if you want to know the truth"

"Then, what in the world we going to do, anyway?!" Ask Takuto back to his sense.

"Yeah, what do you mean with the truth?!" Ask Hiiro, worry written over his face.

"Beyond this door, you going to know, where we're, why no one ever bother coming here to check us, and what's our fate laying ahead" Yuna said pointing to air ventilation pit.

"I really want to know, where we're, the truth and obviously what do you mean before" I answer Yuna, as I take a step to her. Protest could be heard from Hiiro and Takuto upon my decision. But they know it better in a year, when I decided with something, I'm going to do it. Nothing going to faze me now, as the truth I'm chasing might be right pass this pit. Sighing could be heard from the two of my families, they really know me than trying to reasoning with me or changing my mind.

"I'm also curious " said Hiiro shaking his head.

"Well, let's stick to the end, will ya~" replied Takuto

Disaster. What we see now, it's something we could never think off. Is this what Yuna mean, before? Sometimes curiosity better left unattended, and lives it is better not to know. Until now, I live my life carefreely, never ever I think of this situations to happen. I know its going to happen nonetheless, but not like this. Why we should dead like this, why we're born and lives our life like a rat? Who others could fiddle with our lives so easily..

Tears won't stop falling down from my cheeks. I'm sorry everyone, it's because my greed that, this things happen. If going back on time was possible, I'm going to trade my knowledge for it, it's better if I don't know this, than to let this happen. Although our peaceful lives might be last for one more day, a week, a month, or maybe a year. But it's better than this. I don't want you guys to leave me alone. I don't want to be alone.. Again..

"Minato, you're a cool guy. You know that? It was a shame that we don't talk much. Hehe.. But we're talking right now, and the last time as well.. Well, you know what, I really wish I could go to school if I really got a chance. I read it in the book, the place seems look so much fun. Nah, I think the others also think the same thing. Promise me, that you will going to school later, okay? " Yuna said as I nod.

"I know I could count on you" Satisfied seeing I'm going to make sure that happen she kiss me on the cheek amd then she closed her blue eyes for forever. Thank you could be heard as she closes her eyes.

Tears starting falling down from my cheeks. Yuna died, she die in my arms, she die because she using her body as a shield to cover us. Besides me was, Takuto and Hiiro who also looked down, death. Someone was died to protect us, and we now, it's not going to take much longer for our turn. As they said, it matters not who we're, Deaths awaits us.

"Mi-Minato.. Do you still remember when Kumi get beat up, and you stood with me to protect her and both of us getting beat up together after that?" Ask Hiiro, which I nod.

"You know, at that time. I was thinking, if it's you, then I won't worry too much as I know you going to protect Kumi if I'm not there for her. I rarely said anything to you, but thank you, for standing up with me at that time. I really appreciate that." Hiiro said while coughing blood.

"Hiiro, saves your energy, we almost there. Takuto please tell-" I replied with worry.

"I'm okay Minato, please hear me." Hiiro told me with determination in his eyes. "But, although you did that, it's not means I'm giving Kumi to you, you still got a long way to get approval from me or Takuto-nii" Hiiro said as he glaring at me, then smiles for the last time. "I'm sorry guys, I'll be going first. Minato, I want to enjoy my life as normal kids do too, so do it for me too" Hiiro said as he bump his fist to my chest, passing a baton of life and then collapse. "I'm sorry, Takuto-nii. I can't let Kumi waiting too long now" that words escape from Hiiro as he doesn't move anymore.

"Hiiro!" I shout, quickly to Hiiro is side. Hiiro is dead. He's die when knowing the truth that his beloved sister was died a month ago after discovered to be a magician. He got shooted when he discover his sister's body laying and about to dissect for experiment. He protect it of course, and all of us, together we set a fire to the lab who put our comrade's dead body there. At least we could send them in intact.

"Takuto... Hiiro.. Hiiro is dead" I said as I stutter.

"I know Minato! Pull yourself together!" Takuto grab my collars as he yells at me, frustration written all over his face. "It won't be long for our turn though, so we need to make sure we can escape from here and make their dreams come true" Takuto said as his eyes full of tears. "I won't last that long either.." He said in whisper that I can' t catch.

"Minato, let's separate ourselves, so the chances of them catching us was decreasing. I'm going act as diversion, so you go and hide yourself in there first, wait until my signal, and then you can going to that exit"

"But, it's dangerous for you, let me do it." It was sudden when Takuto suddenly beat me, unconsciously starting to get me, as Takuto keep beating me, making me hopeless. No strength to retaliate, he then pick me up and hide me in the air ventilation pit near the place we was in.

"I can't make we both die together, right? At least you can survive, is all mattered"

"Takuto... Why.. you?" I can't make my words. Hearing my question, Takuto then laughing like his usual self.

"Well, because I'm the oldest one, and we're a family. Family protect each others is back, right? Oh, Kumi might hate me if I tell you this, but is okay, because I want you to know Kumi's feeling. She can't tell you anymore. She was in love with you, she love you and we're loves you as well Minato. Please live to the fullest after this, Minato and make our dreams come true. Make our regrets gone, I know is bad for me to impose you this, is a huge burden, but please make this things never ever happened again for the others, us is enough, and you going to be a survivor from this hell" Takuto said as he close the ventilation door.

"And remember that I give you my approval with Kumi, I don't bro-con like Hiiro. But I know it, if it's you, everything going to be okay. I'll seeing you, okay?" Takuto walk away as he give me his good bye. I try my hardest to move my body, so I could go together with Takuto, but alas, my body didn't respond to my mind. Gun fire sounds could be heard from my place and I could only gritted my teeth.

"Minato.. Please lives to fullest.. And.. Love" Takuto murmur his last words as he collapses over the bullet shooting past his body, never move again.

Memories, all my memories coming back. My death, and what that I have gone through. Not a long, I find myself got a strength to move my body. I walk to Takuto is direction and find myself surrounding by soldiers who guarding the faculty or the one who keeps us here and never let us see the sun. Pain, sad, anger regrets was building up in my heart. I remember everything. Is this what I'm fighting for with my comrades. To protect humanity that do this cruel things to the others? Is all my belief was in vain? The guards was pointing their guns onto me, ready to shoot not thinking that was wrong. I'm disappointed, is this how the world now?

"Finally our voices was heard by thou.. The time has cometh.. Thou art I.. And We are thou.. From the sea of thy soul we cometh.. We shall lend thy our strength.. We are you.. And you are us.. We always within you.. And for the moment of our emergence, our strengths was yours.. Together we could change the world.."

Minato then saw a blue card manifested in front him, not thinking much, he crush it straight away. Flows of powers going to him as the light of Morning Star was falling down and crush the lab to ruin with the people inside. Standing alone now around the ruin or the one-called-lab-or-orphanage. Minato then collapse as exhaustion eating him. One thing in his mind was, never ever cast a spell in point-blank-range again, especially AOE spell. It's going to kill him sooner than later, and he was glad he got regeneration with him.

"At least, I'm going to fulfill my promises to my comrades in this faculty." Murmur Minato as his concsious fade out. To his unknown, someone was there and watching him collapse. With a fast reaction, that person pick him away, from the now ruin and looking around if there's the others survivor or enemies.

"I come here in secret to pay my respect for our previous head and clan member. What a surprise, they still dare to build this atrocious place again." anger could be felt out from the man as he speaks. Like hearing the man's prayer for the building is destruction, A magic sequence formed at the sky and then a light falling down, engulfed the building completely. Destruction sound could be heard and the lives inside were screaming as they got purged by the light. Surprise with what he was seeing. The man quickly make his way to the top, looking for a clue to what was before his eyes. He was sweating cold-sweat, thinking the magic his witness upon was powerful enough to turn everything to dust.

Reaching the top, what he was seeing could be described as bizzare. Some part of the building was turned to be dust and the other part unrecognizable. Hearing a sound something drop, he turn his way to that direction only to see a kid laying there, unconscious.

'Is this kid only the survivor, here? I better checking around first and go away as soon as possible. The magic before was strong, is not going to surprise me,if the big army military make they way to here soon' thought the man, as he pick Minato up and go away as he was sure, no one following him or there's another survivor here. As he make his way, the board sign for the building could be see. Kunlunfang Institute.

This story was created for my friend who loves to read and want to see the crossover made between the two story. Inspired by the song "This will be the day- Casey Lee - RWBY vol 1 soundtrack" :P

I might be not a good writer, as this was my first story that I ever write. Likely, my friend want me to learn how to tell the story I came up with "putting in to the words?" . Well, so that's it. I hope you guys enjoy and would likely to point out the mistake I made. Just for your information, don't need to tell me again, how my grammar was suck, again. I know it. English never be my native language since I was born in Asian continent (LOL) and I try to get free time to learn and improve it. And thanks for reading this story!
