Note: Takes place whilst Saints are in midst of plotting attack on Mun Clan.
The Temple was quiet, quieter than ever. The only noise was the constant screeching, bashing and hissing of metal and magic working down in Marzzi's workshop below. But the noise and work going on for the brute were enough to keep him completely occupied. Marzzi might as well not even be in the Temple, with how aware he was of surroundings. So the day was frankly perfect. Everyone was planning for a fight of some sort, Havok was given the minimal information about it, only threats by Banto for possible roles the Kyuban could do for the job that weren't exactly safe. Havok would worry about them later, or forget completely like he usually did. All he cared about right now was how perfect things were in terms of opportunity. Sky and Art must be itching to go out like Havok promised, and he didn't want to keep his friends waiting around. He wore his own thick blue coat, and carried with him the coats of the Noble twins he'd stolen from their rooms, they wouldn't fit the two children but would keep them warm all the same out in the chilly weather.
Dashing with his Kyuban speed through the Temple and down to the cells, Havok turned up the only occupied one, looking down at the two sleeping children. It was early morning, Havok had begun moving as soon as the Temple emptied out, so Sky and Art would have to excuse how sleepy they might be. Eventually, he crouched down and made a noise, tapping against the metal bars. "Sky and Art." Havok muttered, getting up to move to the door. He had a key still, and unlocked the door quietly, leaving it open for the two to come out this time. Havok quickly smiled, "We can go... out the side."

Sky's eyes twitched at the noise, bringing her back from sleep, before she mumbled and hid under her blanket a little more, curling around her brother. It was too early to be woken up, and she was silently grumbling as Havok spoke, that being until he mentioned they can go outside. Slowly sitting up and wiping the sleep away from her eyes, Sky blinked lazily at Havok, smiling a little. "Really? Its safe right?" Even with the tiredness she felt, Sky wanted to make sure Havok wasn't going to get into too much trouble for this. Looking down to her brother, the poor thing still fast asleep, Sky bundled him up in the blankets, before standing up with him buried in her arms. "I'll take him like this, will be a nice surprise as he wakes up..." Sky took a few steps outside the cage, before looking up to Havok and smiling. "Thank you for this, it really does mean so much." Sky was definitely going to keep her promise as to not run, be it if someone found them or not, unless of course she could convince Havok to come with them, which still seemed unlikely. "Lead the way Sir good Kyuban in shining armour."

Havok wasn't prone to sleeping much. Normal Kyuban's never slept, and Havok only did to pass the time whilst everyone else was asleep. He didn't get how people were so drowsy when waking up either, but Havok didn't get much about people. Havok's face lifted into another smile. "Yes it's safe. Other are gone. Working." Havok replied, nodding his head as well. He crouched down and watched as Art was picked up, even the commotion hadn't yet roused the sleeping Demon, and Havok hoped his napping wouldn't last the whole of the trip, but he didn't understand children well either. Getting up as Sky left the cage, Havok stared silently for a moment before nodding again. "Nice surprise, yes." Havok repeated, grinning quickly. "Sky and Art mean so much. So I wanted to shows them." Havok replied simply, turning around to head to the exit stairs. "Shining armour..." Havok mumbled, feeling like he'd read those words in a book. Yet he didn't shine or wear armour, so it was a little lost on Havok, he still chuckled a bit though, if anything the words sounded funny. Havok took the first steps up and out, the sound of engineering below becoming more obvious. "All not loud, we can l... leave the way here." Havok stated, pointing towards the closest exit. It was along the corridor and down through one of the smaller exits, otherwise known as a window. The window was sealed shut, but unlocked from the inside, so all Havok needed to do was copy how he'd seen others open it. Havok moved quick to the window, clicking the locks open and slowly pushing it. He looked down to Sky and Art. "We go in this. Sky and Art s... should be carried, I can takes us most of way q..quickly."

Sky smiled slightly, trust Havok to find the best time to take them, when the others were busy and working. It gave her belief that things would be okay, that they wouldn't be caught, or caught easy anyways. Adjusting Art so he laid more comfortable in her arms, before giving a big smile to the other. There was so much more she wanted Havok to see outside what this prison offered, she knew there was little he was taught, and she wanted to give him more, for everything he had done for them. But she couldn't do that unless he left here with them, and she couldn't force him into a decision. She debated trying to convince one of the nice occupants of the Saints to try and talk him into it, leaving for a better life that is, but she knew it wasn't that simple, and she needed to go with, to help him adjust. Following silently, hoping Art didn't wake up too early, Sky made sure not to make a noise, to be found would not be great, and she wasn't going to risk it for any of them. Nodding as Havok opened the window and explained what should happen, Sky walked closer and gave Havok a small hug. "I trust whatever you need to do, no need to even ask." And that was true, no matter what it was for.

Havok never considered leaving. Right now he was still so much conditioned to being here amongst the Saints. He couldn't understand that it was sheer fear keeping him here, Havok just knew he couldn't leave his masters, knowing their punishments well. The whole idea of giving Art up to his parents was odd as well. Havok didn't understand what parents were, but Sky made them sound like trustworthy people. Kind and caring. And if that was the case, Art deserved to be with them. Havok would go and find them in fact, if he knew who they were. Thinking on it later, Havok smiled down to Sky at she hugged him, the Kyuban rubbing her head a little before crouching down. "I s... should ask. Always ask." Havok replied as he waited for Sky to hop on, used to having to ask as a general rule. This, in fact, meeting Art and Sky, was the only thing Havok never asked permission for. Once the little pair were secure on his back, Havok carefully climbed through the window. He didn't know how fast he could run without it effecting the two children, so Havok simply broke into a run that was slightly faster than a normal persons. He had a spot in mind, it seemed secluded the last time Havok explored near there, even had a few cave systems that looked like they'd been inhabited once. Havok saw it as a quiet place for Art and Sky to get fresh air, which was what was most important here. Havok's mouth was a little dry, so running slower was best. He'd not been fed for a while, couple of days, if Havok could recall. He assumed Banto had been too busy planning the attacks to give Havok his dose of blood, but the Kyuban could go a few days without it, so long as nothing bad happened. They got there soon, Havok's boots stopping in the muddy slush of snow around them. It was a nice sight, perfect for Art's first trip out. His first sight of a forest, and first experience of snow as well. Dropping down for the pair to get down, Havok looked around. "Safe place here. I checks and it was good. Art awake?" Havok asked, looking closer as the little Demon began stirring more and more now that he could feel the cold air around him.

Smiling to Havok, Sky was quick to climb on, not wanting to risk any second standing around waiting. The run wasn't too different to normal, but she could tell he was holding back for their sake, even if she and Art had experienced faster once before with their papa. It was no problem though, it was nice to just get some fresh air, that she had no shame with breathing in, everything seemed so cool and open compared to the prison cell. Quickly dropping from Havok's back, making sure Art was still in her hold, "Stirring awake now... And I know the perfect way to wake him up!" Sky smiled to her brother and Havok in turn, before reaching down to grab a handful of snow, letting a few flakes fall onto Arts nose, before throwing the rest at Havok with a laugh. "Snowball fight!" She hoped Havok would understand what one was, she recalled one of the books they read had one in it, but she could not be certain such a scene would have stuck in his mind, but it was the best things for Art to take part of, and she knew both he and Havok would find it enjoyable. Looking down to her brother, Sky kissed the top of his head before smiling. "Want to be on Havok's or my team?" Sky didn't mind which, she would be going easy on them regardless.

Note: Like an adorable throw-back to the antics of last winter on Destiny :3 I hope you find what I mean.
Havok's watched Art's little face move, his face creasing into a frown as the boy was woken up. Going from a prison cell to the light and white world outside must need some time to focus, so although Art woke up, he couldn't open his eyes yet. Havok watched the boy curiously, glancing to Sky when she became more enthusiastic. "Perfect way?" Havok asked, repeating the words. He could only think of methods to wake someone up. Slap their face, shake them or nudge them, all of which he could think Sky would use. So Havok was at a loss. His red eyes watched Art, letting Sky do whatever it was she planned on doing to wake the toddler. She made a ball out of the snow, letting it sprinkle on Art's face like tiny, cold stars. It got Art moving a little more, and eventually his gold eyes opened, the moment Havok got a face full of snow. It thudded right against the Kyuban's head, and Havok retreated from the surprise and cold. It was soft and didn't hurt, but the snow crawled down his jacket and up his nose, making the boy sneeze. Whilst Havok tried to recall what a snowball fight was, Art began to look around, eyes wide and confused as his young mind needed a moment to realise where he was. A little hand pointed around, as Art wobbled around in Sky's grip to stand on his own. "Sky! Out! Out!" Art stated, pointing all around him. The little toddler seemed fixated on everything around him, before seeing Havok all sprinkled in snow and giggling. He probably didn't quite get the idea of teams, running to Havok to hug his leg. The Kyuban smiled, ruffling Art's hair before looking to Sky. "We are Snowball Fight.... ing. Art, want to play?" Havok asked, crouching down to gather some snow up. He made a small ball of snow, holding it out for Art to see. Havok gently placed the ball in Art's hand, helping his hand move and threw the snowball with Art. It reached near Sky, but crashed onto the ground. Art seemed thrilled though, running over to where it fell. Havok watched the toddler gather up some snow and throw it again, spraying snow around excitedly.

Sky laughed as the snow hit Havok square in the face, it seemed her aim wasn't all too bad, or weak, which she thought it would be. Smiling down to Art, Sky let him out of her hold, crouching down to his level though. Looking around as Art was, Sky gave him a little push and a chuckle. Pinching his cheeks a little, "Yeah, Havok got us out for a bit." Sky could never be more grateful to him for this, and watching as Art played around in the snow for the first time brought happy tears to her eyes, giving hope that one day, this wont be a luxury for him, but something more he can do with his parents as well. Chuckling as the snowball hit a little ahead of her, Sky moved forward to give Art a little more hope at hitting her, even as he ran towards the crash site and throw snow around. Smirking to Havok, Sky picked up another clump of snow and throwing it towards him, before collecting loose snow and blowing it towards her brother. "Hey little munchkin. Why don't you go help Havok? We don't want our brot... friend being picked on do we?" Sky knew that Havok would be able to hold his own, but she also knew if Art was on her team, he wouldn't try too hard in case he hurt the other. At least if she was on her own team, she could convince Havok to at least try, and she knew Art will enjoy trying to cover her in snow at the very least. "Hey Havok... Catch!" Picking up another snowball, Sky randomly threw it in his direction, before taking cover behind some trees, still in site, but still able to dodge any incoming projectiles. She would have Havok and Art see the fun in snowball fights, if its the last thing she did.

Art seemed taken back by every sight around him. All the trees and the snow that glistened like jewels. It made Havok feel happy, even if he couldn't comprehend how happy Art was currently. He did wonder if Art would remember this, his first sight of winter's glory, and of the outside world. Would he be old enough to remember it, or would it be forgotten amongst childish memories. Havok didn't know, he couldn't know, having a damaged memory himself. Havok was happy to just watch the two children enjoy the outside world. He'd enjoyed enough of it, or rather Havok had seen enough of it. He never really appreciated life all that much as a wild Kyuban. Now, he was learning how to appreciate it. The world, fresh air, making friends and being kind. It was all warming up to Havok, thanks to his two little friends. Which was why this was their time to have fun, Havok didn't think he needed to intrude. But, it seemed Sky wanted him too, for Art's sake. Havok gazed towards Sky when she spoke, hands in pockets and facial expression looking as if Havok was miles away. He got another snowball thrown his way, and this time Havok dodged easily, knowing what happened when the ball of soft ice hit him. Art seemed to squeal happily at the sight of snow being thrown. He tried to make one himself, hobbling over to Havok to hold up what the little toddler made. "Havoot! Snowball! Sky Snowball!" Art chirped, and the Kyuban smiled, crouching down to collect the snowball. Art wanted Havok to throw it, as Havok assumed, so he did. The ball crashed against the tree that Sky hid behind, exploding into fluff. Art clapped his little hands, tugging at Havok's jacket with glee. The Kyuban began to get a concept of what he needed to do, crouching down to collect more snow. The boy stopped halfway down, body frozen as he sniffed the cold air. The breeze brought a new scent with it, and as soon as Havok noticed the new scent, he could also hear the new sound. A flap of wings. Without a word, Havok grabbed Art into his arms and jumped to the side. The beam of light skimmed the side of his jacket as Havok dodged it, leaving a puddle of scorched and melted snow in his place. Havok was in shock from the sudden attack, not thinking of it happening do soon, that, and he needed to check the equally shocked toddler in his arms was alright.

Sky knew Art wouldn't remember much of this, too young and too many other memories to make, but she knew he would remember for a while, and that's what she cared for. Laughing when watching Art, Sky knew they needed this, even if it only lasted for a while, ducking from the snowball, Sky chuckled as a few fluffy pieces fell into her hair, before she rolled up another of her own. Before looking over her hiding spot and freezing as Havok scooped up Art and a light blast almost hit him. "HAVOK! ART!" Running over, Sky checked to make sure both were okay before what just happened sunk in, and she realised exactly what magic it was... She would recognise it anywhere. Turning around and looking for the familiar faces, Sky let the tears fall and the smile to break hold of her face. "PAPA! DADA!" Sky began running over to her parents, before stopping short and looking back to Havok and Art. Of course she was glad to see her parents again, and that she could let Art go with them to give him freedom... But she couldn't leave Havok behind, and seeing the reaction of him here with them now, she didn't think either would be happy with that choice, for a multitude of reasons. Taking a breath, Sky ran back over to Havok and Art, gripping the formers arm and dragging both over, a slight skip in her step, before rushing off to hug the two. "Papa, Dada, you guys are really here! I missed you both so much...." Looking up to both with tears in her eyes, Sky skipped over to Havok. "This is Havok, he's a good Kyuban, and the reason why we are so cared for." Sky needed them to know he meant no harm, not to them.

This situation didn't need thinking over for Kaku. He never thought he'd see his kids just wandering through Rycora, much less with a Kyuban. Once seeing the creature glowing eyes, Kakushin knew he needed to get it away, especially as it neared Art. It was hard to even think this was real, after a year, there they were. If it was Kaku from a year ago, he'd be crying in relief, but Kakushin knew far too much about the harshness of life. He could only be relaxed once his children were back in his arms, not just in front of him and Rurushu. Both flew through Rycora, and both found the children, though Kaku was the only one to act immediately against the young Kyuban. He landed, smiling a little down to Sky as she seemed most excited to see them. Though, she then turned to bring the Kyuban with her, which made Kaku frown, those dulling eyes of his not changing much. Kaku was glad to give his daughter a hug at least, remaining eerily silent as Sky spoke to them both. Getting the boy's name, Havok, Kakushin felt almost ready to reply. He was prepared to make the Kyuban leave, knowing the boy as a Saint, and therefore knowing he'd prevented the two children from leaving sooner. It meant nothing to Kaku to hear that he'd been 'caring' for his kids. But before Kaku could speak. There was a chuckle, a dark one that Kakushin recognised well, and it made him go stiff.
"We've controlled her perfectly, haven't we Havok?" Came the voice, and soon after it's owner, from the trees ahead of the group. Banto, the one that started this war, as far as Kakushin was concerned, when he fought the King and injured Kaku. Banto grinned, "My boy Havok sure does make a good actor, huh? Well, any Kyuban would do what you wanted so long as you promised them food. But he did well in tricking the brats into trusting him. Into following him out here." Banto continued, cunning eyes looking to the Kyuban boy, and this Havok looked back with a pale face. Kakushin couldn't read the signs of fear on the boys face, only the hatred he felt for Banto, and the Kyuban, if he really was just one of Banto's friends, helping the sick Human with his plans. Banto crossed his arms. "What better way to bring out the two kings then to present their kids to them? Havok, you did a good job. Now take your reward, eat those two brats." The words only just escaped Banto's lips, and despite hating him, Kakushin in his current state believed every word. That hand resting over his sword was drawn, and with only a chance for this, Havok, to glance his way, the King struck. For a Kyuban, this creature was no where near as agile as others of his kind, the boy didn't even react in time to dodge Kakushin's attack, and the sword stuck right through the boys chest, going so far as to pin him back against the ground. Kakushin was going to keep the monster there, before he could harm Sky or Art, but then a bullet passed the King, skimming his head and making Kakushin draw back. He pulled his sword away, needing it to defend from the gun that Banto pointed his way. With him and Rurushu, beating just Banto should be easy. It was the kids Kaku was concerned for. Keeping his sword ready, Kakushin looked down to Art with a free hand. "Art! Come to Dada, quick!" Kakushin asked, blocking another gunshot and countering it by shooting light toward Banto, the evil Human dodging between the trees using his portals however. This situation was getting heated, like many Kakushin was involved in these days, so all he wanted was Art and Sky safe, trusting the latter to follow him and Ru in escaping.

Under most circumstances, Sky would be trembling in fear at the voice, and inside she was... If Banto was here, then he knew what Havok did, and her friend... Her brother was going to be punished for it, she knew. She may be able to salvage Arts life, if she could convince her parents to run with him, and she may be able to help Havok bare whatever pain Banto gives him, but either way, Havok would suffer for this, and she hated it. But with her parents here, Sky found the strength to be strong, to stand tall as she looked to Banto with fire in her eyes, prepared to call him out on his lie and protect Havok with all she could. "FUCKING BASTARD!" Oh yes, Marzzi had let her pick up a few fancy words in her time as a prisoner. "Don't lie, Havok tricked us into nothing... Your just a lying scumbag, Dada, Havok has helped us, he never intended this..." Sky's voice trembled a bit, she didn't want to give too much away in case Banto made Havok suffer more for it, but she couldn't say nothing in case her parents saw him as a threat.. He wasn't, Havok was nothing more then a prisoner just like her and Art. Sky wondered why Banto was even back, their plan having come into play today for the Mun clan, and she knew they weren't easy ones to mess with, so it wouldn't have been this quick, but she had no chance before Banto and her Dada attacked, making Sky move to protect her brother, and try and coax Havok into leaving with them.

Havok couldn't understand this situation at all. He was attacked by an Angel, with Art almost caught as collateral damage, and as he turned to retrieve Sky to defend her as well, the young girl dragged him closer to the two strangers. They stunk of an Angel and Demon, and were both obviously of those races due to the wings, but other than that, Havok had no idea who they were. But, they meant a lot to Sky, she even hugged them, and her eyes leaked when seeing them. Havok's fragile mind could only grab at ideas of what was going on, concluding that they were the 'parents' Sky mentioned before. Though they turned out different to how the Kyuban thought. Attack him damaged that image. But, perhaps it was just to protect Art, seeing Havok as a threat at first. So he just barely understood, beginning to relax a little as Sky introduced him. Havok relaxed only for a second, picking up the scent of someone else, as well as their voice. He heard Banto, and Havok froze. Hearing Banto's voice meant pain for him, and in this situation, Havok had no idea from which side the pain would come. Banto seem to come out with words, statements that Havok was apparently helping him. All the Kyuban got from it was that it was obvious he wasn't being as secretive as he thought. Banto knew all about what Havok wanted to do, which meant Havok had brought his friends into danger. It made Havok upset, which was something he wasn't use to, so it made him panic. Then Banto told Havok to eat the two 'brats' and Havok froze even more.
He'd learnt to never disobey Banto, but this was something Havok could never do, he wouldn't ever do such a thing, no matter who asked him to. Sky and Art meant so much, and not once have Havok, even when hungry, considered them a food source. But the two scary adults didn't know that, and the more impulsive one acted upon what he'd heard. Havok didn't have a chance to react. He lacked the energy to, being so far from his last meal. So he was shocked when his side exploded with pain, and Havok's body was pushed violently back against the floor. Havok was used to pain, his owner being the reason for that. But never pain running so deep like this. Havok let out a squealing noise, trying to grab at the thing stabbing him, only to cut his hands as well. With the sound of a gunshot, the sword was removed, and Havok pulled himself back and away from the strangers like a wounded animal. He thought parents were supposed to be nice, gentle people. And yet one of them struck Havok hard, leaving him terrified in his confusion. Holding down on the wound with one hand, Havok lifted himself to find Art and Sky. The latter yelled out to Banto, trying to calm the situation down, but Havok could only fear for her well-being, and Arts. The toddler was in tears over the sudden actions around him, cowering a few feet from Havok. The Angel called to him, and Art looked up to the sword-wielding 'parent' for a moment. Then the toddler looked to Havok, and without hesitation rushed over to the downed Kyuban, wrapping his arms around Havok's neck. The Kyuban moved to support Art, knowing this was against the promise made to give Art freedom, since the toddler himself refused to leave. Then again, Havok thought he was handing Art over to nice and kind parents, whereas the ones before him seemed anything but that. Gunshots and magic flew over their heads, Art crying in fear into Havok's shoulder, and the Kyuban steadily bleeding into the snow around them.
Amongst the fighting, Banto was finally able to speak back to Sky. "You've learnt some new words. And what proof is there that I'm lying? Havok does anything I tell him to." Banto replied, grinning from behind a tree. "Just watch. Oi Havok! Get over here!" Banto ordered. Havok looked back towards his owner, then towards the other adults. He didn't think much on it, holding tightly onto Art as he dragged them both back. It was too painful to try and stand up, so Havok could only drag himself and Art back to the cover of trees where Banto was covered from. Havok breathed heavily, feeling more and more exhausted. Banto chuckled. "Good job." He said, before Havok heard another gunshot, and it threw his left shoulder forwards, almost knocking Havok over if he wasn't determined to not land on Art. Banto lifted the gun, steam rising from the escaped bullet he'd just placed in Havok's back. "Now you know exactly what kind of people they are, what kind of pain those brats will cause you." Banto stated to the Kyuban. He drew closer, during a time without magic firing at him, to Havok's ear. "But I'm sure there's room in that stupid head of yours for more lessons." Banto hissed, looking back at the locations of the others. The two adults no longer fired at Banto, seeing as he was right next to their son, and the young Sky was between the two groups, no doubt having to choose as well which way to go.

The second Ru saw his children out in the open, he knew it was too good to be true... That after so long they would find them just like that. He also knew Kaku would do anything to get them back, and his gut feeling told him it wasn't as simple as swooping down and taking them, especially after the attack he made on impulse to protect, Ru could easily see that Art was having fun, and he knew Sky would be right next to her brother if the other guy was any threat. Touching the ground, Ru smiled as Sky came running over, tears falling down his face as he hugged his daughter after so long, before chuckling at her enthusiasm as she brought the other guy... Havok, over. He could tell this Kyuban meant no harm to his family, not if Sky was so carefree about him, and he knew Kaku wasn't feeling the same way, grabbing his other half's hand in reassurance, Ru was about to introduce himself, before the other voice spoke. He felt both him and Kaku freeze up, as well the fear in everyone else's eyes.... This was not a Saint they wanted to mess with, not with the kids around... Ru's heard the stories, knows what this Banto was capable of.
Rurushu remained quiet through most of the talking, eyebrows raising at his daughters language, not that he blamed her for it, even he could tell Banto was lying, and he trusted his daughter's judgement... It hurt when Art ran to Havok, though, he could understand why, Kaku hadn't really made the best impression on his son, but he knew it killed Kaku inside that Art didn't pick him, and as Havok did as Banto asked, in fear, he could tell, Ru knew where his Daughter would go. Taking a breath, Ru stepped forward, keeping an eye on Kaku in case his husband tried anything stupid, before turning his attention onto his true enemy. "Banto right? Guy who tried to kill my husband once? Now have my kids.... You picked the wrong people to mess with you know..." Ru couldn't do much while his kids were right there, but he knew Sky, and she would find a way to run with Art, be it back to them, or to the Saints.

What many forgot was that Banto was once a criminal. Sure he was captured a lot, but he still considered himself a master of his trade. Those skills never went away. So when it came to sneaky little brats, harbouring plans to let out the two prisoners. That was right, Banto knew Havok's plan, from the first time he saw the Kyuban head off to talk to the two kids. But he'd not acted, or told anyone in the Saints of what was going on. Because, frankly, it was perfect for Banto, for many reasons. It meant the Kings were drawn to him, where he could scar their minds, like he'd done to Kakushin. He could also teach Havok another harsh lesson, something Banto was enjoying so much he was beginning to prefer it when Havok rebelled and needed punishing. He could hurt the two little brats again, like when he'd shot their friend in the head, right in front of them. Many things about this little idea Havok kept 'secret' made Banto decide to let it happen. When it did, Banto simply remained in Rycora, setting up ideas and portals to make sure he had the advantage in the fight that would no doubt come.
It was such a tender moment for Banto, seeing Havok playing with them, knowing how badly the Kyuban would never want to do such a thing again, not once Banto made himself known. But the Kings moved in first, and to make sure they didn't get away before he could act, Banto made himself known. Then it was a matter of breaking the Kings down, mentally. Kakushin was easy, he only needed a little nudge, and his already fragile and pathetic mind broke. Seeing his son trust a bleeding Kyuban over him made Kakushin visibly snap, Banto chuckled as he saw the light leave the Angel King's eyes. Once Havok was brought back, and given the first of his lessons right in the back, Banto returned to looking to the Kings. Rurushu, the Demon King was surprisingly harder to break. "Hah, well... I didn't try to kill him, in fact I spared his weak life, when I could have easily ended it." Banto corrected, standing confidently and safely next to Havok and their precious son. Then Banto laughed again. "I was about to say that to you, how funny." He growled, before lowering the gun, pointing it right into Art's skull. There was no flicker of hesitation of bluff in Banto's eye, he merely smirked at the Kings, who would most likely be stopped in fear of just what Banto could do with a small flex of his finger right now. "Sky... you know how it works. Get over here to your brother and precious 'friend', before I cover him in more blood." Banto ordered, glancing down to Havok to make sure he didn't try anything either. Though it seemed the Kyuban was occupied in remaining alive and breathing to stop Banto's actions. Once Sky's choice was made, Banto chuckled. "Hey Kakushin, your highness, remember I once created a wound between our races. Well, consider this yet another one, a gaping one, that might just bleed your disgusting races dry and dead." Banto said, before there was a loud bang. Banto's gun fired, and no doubt everyone was choking on air in shock. It was the perfect state of course, because it meant they wouldn't be expecting an attack. Where the gun had been placed against Art's head, Banto had created a portal. And the portal linked to another, placed against a tree, right behind Rurushu, where it would instead fire right at the King's back.
