tw: violence
Tsukasa's POV
Toya was able to grant us access inside the town. Ena seemed excited to show Akito around and everyone else was more worried about the situation we were in.
I would say that it was a pretty unfortunate situation to be in, but did that stop people from enjoying themselves? Absolutely not.
"You're here to try and speak with Kamishiro too?" A fairy with pink hair says. I was surprised that she knew English.
Wait, what did she mean by 'too'?
"Does someone else happen to be here that needs to speak with Rui?" I ask.
She nods. "Kanade Yoisaki! She came here urgently asking if she could send a message to someone named Rui Kamishiro."
Miku looked shot in the heart once hearing the name. "K-Kanade?" Miku mutters.
Wasn't Kanade the girl that someone spoke of earlier when we went to get the map?
I brushed it off. All I needed to focus on was how to send the message to Rui. That was all.
"Would it be alright if we go ahead and send the message to Rui?" I questioned her response.
"Yep! Whoever is sending the message, come along and follow me!" she replies.

KAITO's POV
I was surprised that the Administrative Control had put me and Nene in the same room. I wasn't sure who all was captured and who wasn't, but I did know me, Rui, and Nene had been. Rui's was quite obvious, but Nene? Nobody would've expected that.
"How much longer do you think we'll be stuck here?" Nene asks, leaning her head against the cemented wall.
They put us in a cell. It was quite large and had enough room to fit maybe two to three beds and a table. "I'm not sure, I'm just hoping we're out of here soon.." I mutter.
I sit down onto the ground and sigh, resting my head gently against the wall, similar to how Nene had. "How come they didn't kill us?" she mumbles.
I straighten my head to look at her. "What do you mean?"
Nene blinks a couple times before sighing again. "I mean, why didn't they kill us? Isn't that their objective?"
I shrug. To be honest, I didn't know a lot about them. The last I heard of them was when Kanade and Rui went to save Asahina, but that was a while ago. They just so suddenly decided to basically kidnap us.
Me and Nene stay quiet for a couple of minutes. It was calmer while quiet, despite the constant fear of gas leaking through the walls that may kill us, or guards coming in and shooting us just for their objective to be complete.
I frown. Surely the heroes and whoever wasn't captured have located us by now..
Right?
Forget it, there wasn't any chance that they'd follow through to save us. If they figure out that we came up with some lie about the gem being ours then they'd never help us.
Both me and Nene jump a little bit from the sound of a sudden horrified scream. A familiar voice that wasn't able to be distinguished. A masculine voice, a voice that was too rough to be Toya's, but too soft to be Tsukasa's or Akito's. Yet too deep to be Len's. Was it Rui?
That was the only person who seemed to fit such a description. "Was that–" Nene gasps.
"I'm hoping it isn't, because there are many outcomes from something like that." I say, "A few being either they've figured out how to take control of him, or he's lost it. There are plenty of other one's but those seem fitting for our situation at the moment."
Nene gulps. "Thank god they hadn't captured Emu either. If they had, everyone would be screwed ten times more than with just Rui since they have a similar ability." She exclaims.
"How come they didn't capture her?" I ask.
"Me and her were out buying taiyaki remember? She just happened to be lucky and be in the shop before I was." Nene grew a worried look on her face. "Oh my god, what if she's lost–?!"
I shake my head. "I doubt it, she knows every town like the back of her hand,"
Nene sighs with a bit of relief. "You're right, plus she probably would've gone to see if I went back with the other villains.."
We become silent again before refocusing on the situation we just heard. "So how much are we betting that they gained control over Rui?" I ask in a joking manor.
"I don't know, his ability has been acting up recently, he might've lost it." Nene shrugs. "But I'll bet six-hundred yen."
Laughter exits both of our mouths. There wasn't much to do when trapped in a jail-cell. The laughter was soon cut off when a door was slammed down the stairs that were visible to us.
We immediately sat up and rushed over to the cell's door to get a closer look. Red particles surrounded it that quickly disappeared.
I guess I owe Nene six-hundred yen, huh?
A ton of yelling from grown men are heard from above. It pained me for how amazing people thought of the Administrative Control, those supporters, they never picked up on how sexist they were. The Administrative Control didn't ever allow women or really anyone who wasn't a cis male to join as a guard.
It didn't take long for a couple of bodies to be thrown down the stairwell. A stereotypical situation from such an event.
"Well, I might as well say my goodbyes now." I say.
"Kaito! Don't talk like that!" Nene snaps.
Only a few seconds later did, of course, Rui, come down the stairs. Except, he looked normal, or okay, not normal, but he looked how we would usually see him whenever he used his powers.
"Geez, took long enough to find you guys." Rui sighs, walking over to us.
"Wait, so you're not under their control? Or lost your own control over your powers?" Nene asks.
"Not yet, and that yet won't be coming. I figured out that whenever I passed out or fell asleep they were able to control me and brought me to another room and gave me my powers, so with that information, I did the smart thing and pretended to be asleep. To my surprise, it actually worked." He explains, unlocking the door the cell. "Speaking of which, was anyone else captured?"
We both walk out of the cell. "Not that we know of," I tell him.
"That's unfortunate, I suppose I'll be the only useful one then."
Nene gives him the most offended look. "Excuse me?"
"Well, you don't have powers and Kaito doesn't have anything to shoot with meaning he can't use his powers." Rui explains in quite short detail. "Which also means~!"
"You're the only one who can actually defend us." Nene ends off the sentence.
"Correct!" Rui teases. "I suggest we get going now, who knows how long it'll be until–" he cuts himself off.
A blank stare came from him. Not a word, not a single movement either. It was like this for a couple of minutes. Rui eventually looks back at us and sighs. "Tsukasa-kun and the others, they're with the fairy's and apparently Kanade's there." he mutters.
What?
"They went to the fairy's to send a message, right? Did Kanade at all do the same, Rui?" Nene asks.
He nods in response. "A few times actually,"
"We can finish this conversation when we're not in the middle of an evil organization's building, okay?" I snap, glancing over at the row of guards that just came by.
"Yeah, sorry." Nene mumbles.

???'s POV
"Why are you–" I gulp. "Why are you doing this to me!?" I finally snap.
A syringe, a pointy-blood sucking or liquid ingesting medical tool, that was being placed into my body in many different places all at once. A place I wasn't even aware existed in the kingdom. Was the kingdom even still here?
There was a rumor not so long ago that the heroes and villains collaborated to destroy it and steal the gemstone from the king. I hoped everyday that my brother, Tsukasa, wasn't one of those heroes.
The villains, I despised them. I may have been apart of their side once just so they would heal my illness, but they hurt my friend, someone I truly considered good. I was almost killed by leaving such an environment.
It wasn't the villains who almost killed me though. It was the guards of the kingdom. I almost died in my brother's arms. Except, I was rushed away to a medical room before I did. I don't know if Tsukasa knew I was alive though.
I was stepped down to a peasant as I was considered a terrorist after I was healed, there was no doubt that Tsukasa didn't know about me living.
Nobody but the other peasants and royals. Hell, even the person who my brother was a vassal to knew I was alive!
Why would my brother trust such a man with his life like that..?
His purple hair that stuck to one side of his face while the other seemed perfectly styled. The suit the male would wear. A black suit with a blue flower. Petals were often seen on him.
He reminded me too much of Kamishiro. The man who was the main reason I left the villains.
