The Ballad.

The Ballad of Crimson - 1

I wake up from what I assume was a long painful nap, I look at the "X" that was engraved into my chest, it is now just a scar, and for some reason I'm in what seems to be the garden of the house I live in. "How the hell did I get here?" I turn around to my mother, "Oh, Izuya!" She screams, runing towards me. "They said you'd gone missing for 2 days!" I pause "2 days?" She smiles in regret "Yes, dear, and they also said you had fractured another students wrist!" I huff, the bastard told?! My mother cries "Izuya, the boy says that during the moments before you broke his arm that you had Crimson stained eyes, and uncontrollable fangs, is this true?" I laugh sarcastically, "No mother, it is not true." She smiles "Oh thank the heavens!" I smile, but feel a presence behind us, "Mother, duck!" As I tell her too, the glass behind us shatters, "Izuya Suiichiro, you're coming with us." I pull out the revolver, and shoot the man in the shoulder, "Tsk, the little Death Saint is going to be a struggle for us." The man says, "You're right, even if this is for his own good." I laugh, "'Even if this is for his own good' huh?" My mother is frightened when she hears the name "Suiichiro," so, if these bastards could not say it, that'd be perfect. "Come and get me, Blue Suited Demons." They snarl, "Sure," they shoot me at the same time, but without lethal bullets? "We told you, Izuya Suiichiro, you're coming with us." I laugh and stand up, "My mother here doesn't like it when people use my actual last name, so maybe rethink using it, and maybe I'll let you go without a limb." My aura rises, and I glare at the Blue suited Devils. They shiver a bit, and I laugh about it. "Mother, it'll be alright, just cover your eyes." She looks at me petrified, "Izuya, what have you done to make them say that trauma inducing word?" I smile, "I don't know." A flashback? No, it's like I'm reliving that day. "Izuya! Izuya! Come play!" Makoto yells, "Coming Makoto!". The boys begin to throw a ball around together. "Makoto, Izuya, time to leave!" Their mother Seraphine says, "Yeah boys, time to leave!" Their father Keita says "Yay!" The boys say in unison. Later that day, Izuya's brother, father, and mother were killed by unknown causes. I start to break down, but I take the sadness and anger of the experience and turn it into sheer power. But, as I do that, I fall to my knees for unknown reasons, time for a na—.

The Ballad of Saints - 1 Part A

"A ballad of Saints, the dances they sway to causes the place below to shiver in fear of the next move. A Ballad of Crimson, as they'd call it."

"Do ya' think we over did it, Steph?" The agent laughs, "Nope, his aura was terrifying, to be honest." Agent Steph smiles, "We are truly sorry Mrs. Rotomine." Mrs. Rotomine weeps "What did my son do?!" Agent Stallings frowns "Well, um, Steph you explain." Steph sighs "Your son ma'am, is a Death Saint." Mrs. Rotomine pauses and then looks at the Agents "What do you mean by 'a Death Saint?'" The Agents say in Unison, "Your son inhabits Thanatos, the persona of Death." She shockingly asks "You mean my son is a God?" The Agents frown, "No ma'am," Stallings says to Steph "Should we just tell her already?" Steph sighs "Yes." They then say in unison again "Mrs. Rotomine, the cause of death for the Suiichiro Family was Izuya." Mrs. Rotomine starts to break down again, "So what's going to happen to Izuya, Agents?" Stallings sighs "Your Adopted son is going to be transported to the SA, in New Vegas, NUA." She frowns "So will I come along?" Steph then says "No ma'am, you will stay here in Yokto, only Izuya is allowed to be present." She faints clear as day. The officers frown, then call out "Fix the house, and treat Mrs. Rotomine, and get Izuya on the plane." Then a thousand "Yes sirs" are said.

The Ballad of Saints - 1 Part B

I, Izuya Suic— god damnit the words engraved in my brain, I awoke on a plane, in a chair, and a suit on me, "Where the hell am I?" One of the men from earlier answers "You're on the plane owned by the PaFSB, welcome aboard, Mr. Death Saint." Hmph "How'd you guys figure it out." The agent then says "Well, we've had eyes on you since the death of your family." I pause, "Who are you? Why am I the one having to go through this petty bullshit?" The agent laughs "Because you're the one who killed your family." I go into a state of shock. Not being able to breathe "How?" Another agent enters the room, "Nice to meet you, we're Stallings and Steph, ya' know agents of the PaFSB." I laugh, "Answer my question." I make my aura rise, "Oh-ho? Someone knows very plain aura manipulation." I snarl "So what? Where am I going?" They both laugh, "New Vegas 2066, NUA." Me being the god-complexed bastard I am, I didn't realize they said the NUA, I nearly pissed myself when I actually though about it. "Why?" I ask, to their response of "You're going to the SA, otherwise known as the Saints Academy." I pause "What? Why does that exist?" Stallings sigh, "Bastard, ya' know there's more than just you, right?" I sigh, "Yes, I'm not that much of a fuckwit." They both laugh, "Good, well, we're in NV66 now, so uh, get the fuck off this plane, got it, kid?" I get up, and board off, don't know how, but I do. "Stallings, where's my shit?" He sighs "What 'shit'?" "Don't be a plagiaristic bastard, answer the question." He laughs "You'll get money to buy whatever the kind of 'shit' you want." I walk over to him, and punch him, and get into a fighting stance, but he laughs it off "I could just shoot you again," I go to reach for my revolver, but inevitably it's missing, "Give me the revolver." He laughs again "I sent it to the SA Research team. They've never seen a Saint Revolver." I laugh, "Can we just get to the SA already, Jesus fuck." He laughs "No."
