Arafura S1 - Darker Than Black
S1 | Chapter I | Exit I Warmth of The Mr. Weird

His hand hit the glass wall with full force. The sound rang out, very loud to the airtight room level. The fragments flew and then scattered without direction, while the glass that still survives—alias did not break—mould form chaotic cracks with murky white color eliminates its transparent properties.

Mr. Gen created that big hole, a hole in the wall of a glass prison cell to carry a girl inside. Now the girl lay so weak, her hands to her feet chained without wearing a dress a whole— was completely naked like being treated like a slave. There are several small colorful hoses containing fluid attached to the smooth body part. At least he could only look at his surroundings with an emotionless cold look as if he already had no energy.

Both of Mr. Gen's legs began to step inside the prison. The flakes of glass slowly stepped on produced an inescapable little friction sound. It turns out that the prison is quite extensive when viewed from the inside. The wall looks solidly filled with strange monitors. The white floor is covered with black wires. In the middle of the room there is a mattress—no, it seems more appropriate to be called an iron bed, where the girl was tied in a state of being laid. His left hand and foot were in a strong chain on a high pole on his left side, while his right hand and foot were chained on the pole instead. His condition makes the girl can not do anything even though she knows the entire curve of her body can be seen—even her look like resigned no matter what. His wide-open position and weak state made Mr Gen wonder to himself, was it true that no one had abused him?

Seen from the look of Mr. Gen, now it seems dominated by anger. He was eager to avenge the evil that had happened to these poor girls, but Mr. Gen was nothing, he only had influence in his own territory.

The girl continued to look at Mr. Gen as soon as Mr. Gen was already standing right near her.

"You—" The girl insisted on talking but couldn't.

"Don't talk. Let me do something." Mr. Gen then tried to destroy the iron chain.

"Wait, listen to me." The girl's words again made Mr. Gen stop doing things.

"Why?"

"If you break that chain, the bell will ring. Please just remove these hoses from my body. This liquid—ah. My strength is constantly eroding."

"Strength?"

"That's it. Please release. Otherwise, I'll die like those poor girls." He said with a look as if pleading.

Shocked to hear it, Mr. Gen hurriedly whipped out one by one the colorful hoses that stuck to the girl's body. There were two red hoses stuck to his head. Six yellow hoses stuck to his arm. Five is blue on her chest. Lastly, six black hoses on his legs. All the hoses contained a strange liquid as if it had been devoted, but one thing that made everything have in common, once the hose was removed then the liquid seemed to evaporate disappeared. The hose in a moment lost its color to an ordinary white hose. At the end of the hose is a long needle as a connector, the needle feels so hot that it makes the girl scream in pain when the needle is released. Not only that, the length of the needle had left a deep hole quite badly in his skin. The slightly blackish-red fresh blood instantly came out and soiled his body skin.

He could not move, his body still felt limp could only lie with chains that bound him. Her undressed body made Mr. Gen slightly annoyed looking at her, yet the girl still looked unconcerned. He simply fell silent while confirming the rhythm of his breathing. His chest expands and deflates, looks no problem whatsoever, but he says it's really hard to breathe.

"You okay?" Said Mr. Gen. His eyes slightly dodged from looking at the girl.

"sorry. I'm so limp. Can you come over here?"

"Dry? What do you mean—"

"Don't think strangely. I just wanted to whisper something. I can't do anything."

Mr. Gen then approached him. Now he tried to switch from slightly looking at the girl's body. "Then what?"

"Near by again." Her speech.

"Nearby?"

Mr. Gen took a step closer and bowed his head close to the girl's mouth. Now as if there was no more distance between them, even fresh blood from the girl's body had moved to stick to Mr. Gen's clothes.

"What do you want to whisper?" Ask Mr. Gen.

The girl did not answer. Instantly it felt a strange aura coming flowing like air. The aura felt extremely cold piercing the skin. A momentary glance he glanced at the girl's face. Apparently both of his eyes turned into a bright blue color like a blaze. The girl's mouth was instantly wide open making her two fangs clearly visible.

He immediately bit Mr. Gen's neck. Blood felt being sucked in very savagely. Mr. Gen did not feel the slightest pain, only to be surprised that the girl was not an ordinary human like him. For a moment the girl ended her suction and closed her mouth again. The cold look on his face could now smile widely while looking at Mr. Gen's silent eyes as if confused. The cold aura from his body instantly turned into heat like fire.

"Don't be surprised. I also have advantages like you, it's just that our strengths are different." He said while moving his tongue as if enjoying the sweetness of blood.

Suddenly a blue flame emerged from his body. The fire was like an explosion made Mr. Gen jump away. The black chains that bound him slowly turned into an extremely weak viscous liquid, only able to drip onto the floor of the room. Master Gen thought, the fire this girl has seems to be hotter than what Aio has. Although this fire is dark blue, it does not mean that it is colder or equivalent to natural fire.

"You can call me Viena. I know very well the safest way out. Therefore, let's get out of here. Mr. Gen." The girl's speech made Mr. Gen surprised.

"You know me?"

The girl smiled. "Yes, of course! What girl doesn't know you? Moreover, you are one of our strongest enemies."

Mr. Gen laughed. "OKAY. That's logical." He said and extended his hand to the girl, "For this time let's work together."

A moment after shaking hands with each other, the gray-haired girl named Viena ran into the living room first. Mr. Gen followed him from behind while watching his surroundings.

"Wait." Suddenly Mr. Gen stopped stepping before Viena reached the door leading to the passageway. Her view seemed unable to shift from looking at the fate of other girls who were not released. "Do we have more time to free them?"

"No." Answer Viena. "I told you, right? The liquid can kill me if it is not released immediately, especially even though it has been released, the energy of the body seems like nothing is left. Therefore, I'm forced to drink your blood."

"So even if it is released, if there is no backup energy it will die?" Mr. Gen was silent.

"That's right, but the girls have been here all day. They're gone. Because it forget—" Mr. Gen cut his words.

The face turned serious. "I saw you were not dressed, but after the fire burned your body suddenly you were dressed. Is it made of your fire power?"

"Eh? Whatchu mean?" Viena was a little confused, "yes I can, but—"

"Can you do it a few more times? Make a uniform to cover the girls' bodies. At least, their beautiful curves were covered even though their souls were gone." Mr. Gen's words made Viena widen her eyes as if in disbelief. A man like Mr. Gen was like an extremely rare person. Not usually men will happen like that to girls who are not dressed, especially they are the enemy.

Since yesterday, when the Gakuin Academy collapsed, riots were everywhere. In every street, in every forest of the academy, in every corner of the building, even the room was no longer safe. Many weak girls were captured and played with by irresponsible men, all of whom abused the bodies of girls for the mere excuse of punishing the enemy. Some are tied up and used like wasted toys, his body that is not dressed as mere spectacle material that makes the victims crazy. They do not feel valued back so most choose suicide while in custody. Uh! The very incident that made Viena upset was full of vengeful flames. That was why, the first time knowing Mr. Gen highly valued the existence of the girl, it was enough to make the look of her face turn smiling. Making the flames of hatred inside him as if frozen was no longer generalizing the man's attitude.

"Although your face is creepy, you're weird too." Viena smiled, "after all, it will take more time for the guards to come to see us. That's why, I'll do it."

"alright. I'm counting on you, Viena." Said Mr. Gen with a smile.
