Within a dark underground room, a man sat down over a small chair while looking at a purple-colored crystal ball, although this crystal ball might seem like a cliché item for a villain, it had a purpose, this special item gave him the ability to "detect" certain people… people that were special, exceptional, even, people that were way too good in sothing, so much that it was of course unnatural, strange, even. These people were not normal at all, and he sought them, grabbed them, and used them.
They were special people given a special soul, blessed by incredible powers. Often they were unaware of such a power, they thought they were simply slightly better than others, sotis they were completely unaware of the truest power behind such amazing abilities.
But he knew. This man with black eyes, a bald head, and wearing a black hood, smiling wickedly. He knew them very well because he was also a person like them… They were called Fragnts and were part of an ancient entity that once ruled the world of Gaia.
These fragnts… they were special people, beings that couldn't be asured with nothing, they possessed incredible potential, and could ta the mightiest of beasts with enough training. He sought these fragnts according to his own master's wishes…
There were two other people with him, sitting around the old and wooden table, a woman with long red hair and sharp blue eyes remained in silence while looking at him, but she seed rather impatient as she was constantly hitting the table with her right hand's index finger.
And the other was a young man, with short white hair and heterochromatic eyes, one blue and the other green, he had a scarred face and seed to have gone through a painful life. Unlike the beautiful woman in front of him, who wore tight black pants, tallic, red-colored boots, and a white blouse with a black coat covering her torso, the young man wore rags, and on his neck there was a tallic collar that only slaves wore, its chains looked forcefully broken.
The two of them emanated enormous auras of pure divinity and a power even beyond that, slightly akin to the origin of the powers within Miriam, golden glows emanated from them, as they stood in silence looking at the crystal ball.
"She's coming. I can feel the girl… Her protector and her… will participate in this tournant. It seems their aim is the Ti Stone, which is also our goal, well, one of them…" Said the black-eyed bald man.
"So it is just as you estimated, Fracture." Said the woman.
"Hm." Said the boy.
"We'll catch them in the middle of the tournant. One of you will have to secure the Ti Stone, I will distract her protector, the other of you two will catch the girl and knock her out." Said the man, his na was Fracture.
"Shiso is too stupid to do anything precisely and gently, so I will pick up the girl, he'll steal the Ti Stone, nothing too hard, right Shiso?" Asked the woman.
"Hm." The boy nodded without saying a word.
"Scarlet, don't take control over the situation, I am the leader here and I set the rules." Said Fracture angrily.
"Ohoho, sorry… But you're way too slow deciding, and our naivety ended making our entire operation here getting ruined by this irregular protector of the girl… Don't you think you're the least deserving of the leader position?" Asked the red-haired woman with a smug. Her smile teased the black-eyed man, as a vein popped up from his bald forehead.
"Don't test , Scarlet." Said Fracture. His hand pointed at her as darkness slowly began to surge from it.
"Oooh, so scary! Okay, I apologize, Fracture…" Laughed the woman.
"…" Shiso looked at the two fight expressionlessly.
"I wish you could be like Shiso, silent and obedient, like all slaves are… It was very easy to get him, we just had to buy him from his forr owner… I wish it could be so easy to acquire you fragnts." Sighed Fracture.
"Well, I joined you because I also wanted to find them, we all are working together to reach that point, isn't it? So all fragnts can be gathered like Boss wants to." Said Scarlet.
"Don't talk to like an equal, Scarlet!" Said the man angrily, slapping the table.
"I might be a fragnt but I am vastly superior to both of you!" Said the man, as if he had self-confidence problems.
"Right, right~" Sighed Scarlet, ignoring the man's malding.
"…" Shiso's lightless eyes looked into the floor expressionlessly.
"Boss is desperate to acquire all the fragnts, after all they're the key he needs to summon the ultimate monster… the one that once brought disaster to all…" Sighed Fracture. "This is the greatest purpose."
"Hm… What about the Piece of Cosmos he has?" Asked the woman. "What is he planning to do with it?"
"Have I not told you yet? You're so stupid to not rember the simplest of things. Our lord's plans are simple, he wants to open that door that once opened where all of humans originated… To the ancient world where our oldest ancestors ca from… With it, he'll be able to conquer this enormous land with the Ultimate Monster and acquire the power of our ancestors…" Laughed Fracture, as if the triumph of his master was like his own. He was obviously brainwashed.
"Hmph… I see, I guess I had forgotten that…" Giggled Scarlet rather coquettishly, which only made Fracture angrier.
"…" The forr slave boy, Shiso, wondered what sort of nonsense he couldn't even understand were they talking about, but he was incapable of speaking so he couldn't really figure it out by himself yet.
"Well, if its already going to start, let's get this done with." Sighed Fracture, as the trio walked outside of this underground area…
The tournant was about to begin already, and the people outside was gathering inside the enormous arena to see what was to co.
