Declaration of War

Hannah lays unconscious in a cell. No light shining in as someone shakes her. Her eyes slowly open as the assassin sits in front of her. She slowly rubs her head.

"Are we... Setting the plan into action...?" The assassin stands up and helps her up.

"We just have to wait for everyone to be in the same spot... Everything up until now... The Tournament... Court of Appeals attack... And sending those troublesome two kids to the royal academy... Has all gone according to my plan..." Hannah looks up at him.

"But how do you know for sure?" The assassin grabs the iron door and blasts a hole in it.

"The royal king Nicholas will be meeting with the student's later today, the only way for king Oji of the low class to give his friends the letters is during the class's talk with the king... That's when we attack" Hannah smiles brightly.

"Let's go young Okana" she nods as they lock eyes with Galliun.

"You aren't supposed to-" before he could get another word out. Hannah appears in front of him with a Knife through Galliun's chest. He coughs up blood. Hannah takes the blade out as Galliun falls to the ground. A pool of blood forming.

"Let's go... We have not a moment to wait" the two leave and walk out of the room.

"Now remember to not touch anything, this is the throne room" everyone nods and agrees as Miss Shiyuya stands in front of the Throne. King Nicholas stands from the throne as he smiles.

"I'm so glad you guys can make it... Today I hope to hold a combined Training session with you and the knights you met and fought yesterday... What do you say?" Liam raises his hand.

"What kind of training?" The King walks towards them.

"You'll see when we arrive... Let's get going shall we?" Miss Shiyuya nods as she walks in front. Suddenly getting knocked to the floor. Kiyoko watches in horror as Hannah stabs her across both of her eyes. Blood splatters as she hits the floor. Elijah goes to draw his sword but gets kicked down. She grabs his sword from him and slashes him across the forehead. Then stabbing him in the stomach. His eyes go blank as he hits the ground. Hannah looking up. Her face covered in blood as she death glares the students defending the King.

"What's going on!?" Lucas and Liam jump forward as suddenly they are slashed across the neck. Lucas blocking her from going farther. His arm bleeding rapidly. Kiyoko and Frederic jump from both directions. Hannah grits her teeth.

"HAAA!" she forces her sword through Lucas' arm completely detaching it. He screams as she sends him sliding. She jumps back dodging Kiyoko and Frederic. Kiyoko drops his sword. Getting hit full strength with the blunt end of the Battle axe. He goes flying as Frederic stops. Kiyoko laying unconscious against the wall covered in blood. Frederic was ready to attack. Suddenly an aura of rage fills the room. Frederic stops as Shioka walks past. His hair and eyes glowing gold.

"You won't ever hurt my Grandpops!" Shioka draws his Katana as Frederic goes to check on the others. Hannah's eyes widen as she locks blades with Shioka. Shioka jumps back and swings his blade. Hannah tries to block but struggles to move. Suddenly her neck grows cold. Her eyes fade between consciousness. Blood splatters on the floor as her head hits the ground. Shioka's hair returns.

"Hey wait-" King Nicholas draws his large Sword. The assassin appearing right in front of the King.

"Something is wrong" an intense fear overcomes Oji as he grits his teeth.

"I have to go!" Oji forcibly opens the Carriage door. His feet hit the ground and burst into flame. Bolting across the courtyard to the castle.

Nicholas gulps before violently coughing up blood.

"Don't even try ya Rusty Ol' Man" Nicholas starts breathing heavy as he collapses to the ground. The assassin ripping a hole through Nicholas's chest and crushing his heart. Nicholas's eyes go blank as a puddle of blood appears under him.

There's a Silence as Shioka's hair turns gold as his eyes follow suit. Shioka let's out a bloody scream as he runs to the assassin. Shioka doesn't make it much farther as the assassin stabs him in the shoulder. Blood splatters as Shioka managed to dodge getting stabbed through his heart. Frederic watches in horror of it all. The assassin starts brutally laughing

"You're father had the same look in his eyes when I killed him did he not!... How does it feel to relive that horror?... Ya see... We're all part of a bigger scheme here... And if it weren't for me you wouldn't be here right now!... I was the one who sent the letter about the Festival... Everything just fell into the palm of my hand from there... Ya see? This is not Your story!... IT'S MINE! I'M THE ONE WHO PULLED THE STRINGS... dot you get it!? You'll never be great-" The assassin's smile scares Frederic as his eyes widen.

"I'm tired of your lies!" Suddenly the assassin is engulfed in flames. His entire body burning to ashes as he laughs maniacally. Suddenly stopping as a genuinely happy smile forms. The assassin's body burning to ashes. Frederic smiles happy to see Oji.

"Oji!" Oji grits his teeth and yells.

"WHAT WAS ALL THIS FOR HUH!?... TRYING TO START A WAR!?... WELL WE'LL GIVE YOU YOUR WAR!! AND WE'LL WIN EVEN IF WE DIE IN THE PROCESS!!"
