Illuminati training centre, Inspection ward, 4:23 AM
"What's the status of the 34th batch?" asked Taishiro impatiently. "74 out of 100 students remain by the end of first day sir."
"Check the status of Shikito Yurihana..." ordered Taishiro... "On it Sir! Uhm... Body temperature is 96.456° F, Blood pressure is.... high, really high... 168/104 mmHg, heart rate is high too.... 182 bpm..."
Taishiro clenches his fists, veins popping, "Brother... 10 years ago, I was sobbing with you in my arms.... Our mother, father, big brother... All were killed brutally; I was about to be shot by a Helixer at point blank. But she saved us. All I have in this pathetic world is you with me... Don't you dare leave too... Please, Shikito, please..." murmurs Taishiro, holding back tears....
Ten Years ago....
"M-Mom... No... DON'T LEAVE US!!! DAD!!! PLEASE!!!" cried Taishiro, holding his one-year-old brother in his arms... His parents were burnt alive while he was forced to see that...
"Hahaha kiddo!! Getting too emotional, eh? Wait... Lemme send you and your filthy brother to you parents..." said a masked gunman of Helix, grabbing out his gun...
Taishiro screamed in agony, "I DON'T CARE IF YOU KILL ME!! BUT YOU CAN'T KILL SHIKITO!!! YOU-"
The gunman kicked Taishiro away, "You talk too much... It's irritating... But I like to see you sob looking at your parents getting burnt... Just a wait of a while.."
He holds Taishiro by his neck, showing him the burning bodies of his parents.
Taishiro was broken, shattered....
As the gun cocked up, Taishiro closed his eyes, his brother weeping in his arms... The air was filled with the noise of helicopters across the sky...
"IT'S THE ILLUMINATI!!!! ATTACK HELIXERS!!!" screamed the Operation Commander. It was then not soon when the whole sky was filled with explosions, bullets, helicopters falling to the ground and exploded....
Soldiers died from both the sides, but the Illuminati was forced to retreat with the 7 survivors they found... In the helicopter, a woman, probably in her late 20s, approached Taishiro.
"Hey there young one... My name's Yuki Sangakai... What shall I call you?" asked the lady. Taishiro didn't respond; he just stared wide-eyed, at the floor.
"You've through been a lot.... Now, you are safe... You need to avenge your family, protect your brother, right?" said the lady, softly...
She looked at Shikito and smiled, saying, "You know? I've got a son just like him, his name is Yuuma... What's his name?"
Taishiro burst into tears, hugging Yuki, "WHY DID THIS HAPPEN?! WHO DID THIS?!?! I WILL NOT LEAVE ANY ONE OF THEM!!! MOM!!! DAD!!!!!!! BIG BRO!!!!!!"
Yuki, embracing Taishiro, claimed, "From today onwards, I'll be training you..... Welcome to the Illuminati...."
Presenttime
Taishiro stares at the screen, and asks, "And..... Give the status of Yuuma Sangakai too..."
