57 Exposed

Zenkai walked out of the room and talked with the Aces and told them about everything.

"Well, you can't accuse him with no evidence, and I doubt Hikari will believe you either," Lyssa said.

"Then we'll get evidence." Zenkai said.

Zenkai summoned Darling and explained everything to him.

Darling understood what Zenkai wanted and agreed to go on with it. They waited until sunset and waited for him to go into his room.

Zenkai walked through the halls and bumped into the father on his way there, slipping a recorder into his robe.

"Sorry I wasn't paying attention to where I was going," Zenkai said as he walked away and locked himself in his room.

The King shrugged it off as he walked into the room.

Lyssa walked into Hikari's room.

"Oh, Lyssa, How may I help you," Hikari said.

"Sleep," Lyssa said as her voice reached Hikari. She passed out on her bed, and Lyssa ran back toward her room.

The castle was now silent, not a step to be heard silence fill the area.

Hikari's father closed his door and walked toward his counter as he opened it up and reached for his book.

"Hello there." A voice said.

The Father turned around quickly, and Darling stood behind him.

Hikari's father fell on the floor as Darling stood looking down at him.

"I- I thought you were dead." He said.

"That's something a lot of people assumed." Darling grabbed a chair and sat down.

"You know, Oliver? Was it. I faked my death and infiltrated the castle. This place is currently surrounded by devils I've collected."

"What do you want." He said.

"I wanna know exactly what went down that day then just like that, I'll go on with my life, but I'll have you know I already know the truth if you lie to me, I'll order everyone outside the castle to destroy Jadia."

Oliver started freezing up as Darling eyes stared into his soul.

"I killed your father. I'm sorry, it's just your father has always looked down on me, and I envied him. All I wanted was the throne, but I could never get it, but I thought Hikari could take the throne, and I'll be in power too, but Zenkai has ruined my plans. Help me take him out, and you'll get the throne back. We can help each other, I swear."

Darling laughs.

"I'm the one who sent Zenkai here. I knew all along how low you'd go."

Darling reaches into the man's pocket, pulling out the recorder.

He turns it off and walks toward Oliver. He reaches for his collar and lifts him.

"What's stopping me from killing you right now."

"No, you'll hurt Hikari too, leaving her without a father."

"How about when you left me without a father or a home."

Darling then threw him back on the floor.

"What was it you named me? The Cursed Prince? The one with a thousand enemies? I'm more human than any of you people. You poisoned my father, taking his life even if he was a wrong person, The fact you stole something that wasn't yours makes you a worse person. Humans are either good or bad based on the act they commit. That's why I despise scum like you and Sin, who try to justify everything because you've been hurt yourself. Fire doesn't take out the fire. It just makes it worse."

Darling then walked out of the room and entered Zenkai's, handing him the recorder, and vanished.

Zenkai quickly made his way into Oliver's room and stopped him from trying to run away.

He dragged him into Hikari's room, woke her up, and played the clip.

"This can't be true, can it, father."

"It's not they are framing me him, Vannox, Lyssa, and flakes. All of them are here to turn Jadia into a dictatorship." Even Darling he's alive; he's deceived all of us. It's his revenge."

"Revenge for what? We've never committed anything wrong." Hikari said.

"Yes, we didn't, but he did. He killed his father in cold blood, and he was kicked from Jadia. He's back to destroy all of us."

"No, father, you're wrong. Darling was with me during the whole thing. He let me escape and let himself get caught." Hikari said, about to cry.

Hikari's Father couldn't say anything. He tried to let out some words, but nothing came out.

Zenkai dragged him into his room and tied him up, waiting for sunrise. When the sun had come up, and Jadia became busy again, he summoned everyone and exposed Oliver for everything he's done.

"I knew the innocent Darling couldn't do such a thing." A random person said, and everyone else started agreeing.

"Lock him up." They yelled.

"Did they believe in Darling the whole time?" Lyssa asked, surprised.

"Of course not; nobody wants to be wrong," Zenkai said as he walked away.

About a week or two has passed on this day; nobody knew of the danger that opened up and headed toward Earth except one person, Kazuha.

Silence filled the area when something appeared in front of him.

"Who are you" the beast that stood before this man said.

"I go by Milo." What about you.

"I do not have a name, I wonder these areas."

The thing that stood before Milo was five meters tall.

"But what I can say is that you aren't allowed to be here."

He then lifted his hand, trying to strike at Milo.

Milo was no longer there. The beast looked around, wondering where he could have gone, when he looked up and noticed Milo floating.

"Why so hostile, I came to speak."

Milo moved his fingers and pointed down at the beast.

"Monsters are below Rankers no matter how divine one is; to be fair, you might have been able to defeat a regular Ranker, but you came across me, and I feel bad for you.

A red orb appeared near his hand.

"This is a move that erases everything in its path."

"Do you think someone as lowly as you can hurt me?"

"Only the idiots who blindly follow me are allowed to see the future."

Pure Core:

Milo's inside started to glow, and the sky became bright.

"External Void."

With a quick move, the beast and everything that stood in front of Milo were gone.

Zenkai looked out the window and noticed a massive dark cloud appear out the sky

The earth shook, and a crack in the sky appeared. A bunch of creatures with horns ran out and spread through the world.

Zenkai ran toward the entrance and noticed Vannox on the floor. He ran toward him and lifted his head, seeing a black crescent appear on his forehead.

Kuzan turned around, noticing a demon standing behind him.

"Who are you." The demon said with an intimidating voice that would shake a regular person.

"I go by Saito."

Kuzan moved his hand up as a sword appeared in front of him.

"Saito Kuzan." And who do I have the pleasure of speaking with."

"You're speaking with a member of the twelve devil unions."

Kuzan pointed his sword at the guy.

"You must be the weakest one then."
