Tensions are high in the air. The battle begins with Jamson wasting no time throwing a punch at Tyler who dodges and engages him in combat bat as several officers join in the fray but were like ants in comparison. Diamond and Lauren stand face to face. The siblings who were once so close now eye each other like mortal enemies. "Why did you come back here?!" Lauren demands. "To settle some old scores. You know what I mean." Diamond says coldly, her eyes gleaming with malice. The fight around them grows fiercer as Tyler and Jamson clash, their fists flying in a blur of motion. The sound of bone crunching and metal on metal echoes through the night. The officers are no match for Jamson's strength, and they fall one by one, their weapons useless against his brute power. "He's barely swinging it and yet it still felt like a hard swing." Tyler thought. "His strength is unreal. "That's because..." Jamson thought. With one full force swing he manages to send a wave of spiritual energy sending him, Harlacher, and the cops flying a few feet as they fall on the ground. "It eats up enough spiritual energy to smash you to pieces!" Jamson yelled.

Suddenly much to Diamond and Jamson surprise as Tyler smirks saying. "It's about time, Lauren." It turns out to be an illusion as the duo find themselves trapped in a barrier of light. "What is this?" Jamson asks. "It's a barrier technique that I learned from a friend it's called the Eternal Confinement it's supposed to trap anyone inside it." Lauren says as the barrier starts to shrink. Lauren stands in front her right eye glowing red as her Dobutsu eye is revealed. "What she has one too?!" Jamson asked. But Diamond remained unfazed and remains stoic. The barrier tightens around Jamson as he struggles to break free, but the power of the technique is too strong. "You think a barrier can hold me!" He roared as he slammed his fists into the barrier but it does absolutely nothing much to his shock as Diamond once again remains stoic. "It's useless. Try all you might but once I got you in my grasp it's over." Lauren said coldly. Jamson growls even more. "Diamond we gotta do something." He says. Diamond reminds silent at first but smiles and says coldly. "Impressive but it's not enough."

In an instant the barrier breaks and so does the illusion much to everyone's surprise as Lauren falls on her knees. "What the?" Harlacher was confused. "What just happened Lauren?" Tyler asked. Lauren was breathing heavily "She broke through Eternal Confinement?" Lauren thought. She looked and Diamond and Jamson just stood there as if nothing happened. "My oh my that was definitely a close one, really thought we were done for huh, Diamond?" Jamson said with a cocky smirk on his face while Diamond stares Lauren down as the others get up. "Keep on your toes everyone she's trained with her powers since she was young. It's apart of the Hanhito culture. This is especially true for the first born and heiress to the Hanhito, She once single handled took out an entire army." Lauren explained. "We get it Lauren she's tough you don't need to explain us any history of her Hanhito history." Harlacher said as she and Tyler get into their stances. "Tsk. Tough? Trust me you haven't seen half of what she can fucking do." Lauren stated.

"Impressive for someone who is not a Hanhito you sure are extremely knowledge about our history and you are extremely skilled with that Dobutsu." Diamond said, stoically speaking. "However despite having the Dobutsu you lack the physical skills, you lack the superhuman genetics that we Hanhito can do. Lauren breathes heavily as she admits the truth. "You're right this eye doesn't originally belong to me and I'm still merely human and as such my body lacks the stamina to handle the spiritual energy flowing through my veins." Lauren said. "That being said, I still refuse to give up. I refuse to stand down just because I'm not a Hanhito. I'll stop you right here and now bitch." Diamond said with determination on her face.

Diamond chuckles as she closes her eyes. "Your tenacity is quite admirable, Lauren." Diamond said. "However you are but a cheap copy compared to the original. And to show you this I will demonstrate the power of a Dobutsu wielded by its true heir." When Diamond finishes and slowly begins to open her eyes. Lauren takes a quick glance and sees Diamond's eyes have changed to a dark crimson red. "It can't be oh no." Lauren thought. "Close your eyes everyone don't look at her eyes!" She yelled. Shocked Tyler, Harlacher, and the officers do this. "Listen to me very carefully no matter what happens do not look at her eyes if you meet her gaze you're finished." Lauren explained. "I'm going to have to do this alone. My Dobutsu against hers." She said. "Once again your skills and quick thinking demand praise, Lauren. However your borrowed Dobutsu against my Yasei Dobutsu you won't stand a chance." Diamond said. "And to prove this I will introduce my technique that makes your Eternal Confinement look like childish play." She continued. "Behold the Kurosekai." As Diamond finishes, Lauren gasps as she hears her heart beat.

Suddenly she finds herself in a hypnosis world where the sky is red the grass is orange and Lauren finds herself completely naked hanging on a tree  her wriest strapped by fines as Diamond stands there with a pistol gun in her hand. "I wonder how long will someone who isn't a Hanhito yet possesses the Dobutsu can last. I guess we'll find out soon enough." Diamond said. "You bitch!" Lauren screamed as she struggled to free herself. "What kind of trick is this!" But her efforts were in vain as she is suddenly shot in the stomach by Diamond. She screams in pain. "In the Kurosekai. Time, space, everything in this world, I control however I see fit." Diamond explains as she shoots her again causing Lauren to scream. "The next 168 hours will be nothing but this. Over and over again." Diamond says this as another Diamond appears and shoots her as well causing more torture for Lauren. "This isn't possible!" Lauren thought. "How can she be in two places at once?" But the pain was too intense for her to think clearly. The other Diamond starts to laugh as she walks closer to Lauren. "You're going to watch yourself die a hundred times a day. And the best part is, you won't even be able to die." Lauren's mind starts to go numb as she experiences the pain again and again.

Lauren passes out and wakes up and she looks at her wounds and notices that she's healed but notices a version of herself being shot by the two Diamonds. "Calm down, Lauren this only her hypnosis." Lauren thought to herself. "Telling yourself it's a hypnosis will do you little good." That voice was Diamond who shoots her in the back as Lauren screams again. "Pain is pain. Call it what you will but no matter what you will feel pain." Diamond says coldly. Suddenly Lauren turns to look in front of her. "Only 167 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds to go." Diamond said. Lauren looks on in confusion as all the guns are pointed at her. "How is this possible? Only 1 minute has passed how did she..." As Lauren was in her thoughts all the guns fired at her as she screams in pain. Diamond smirks as she walks over to Lauren. "You can't escape this no matter how much you beg. And if you do I'll just reset the clock back to zero and do it all over again. You're going to suffer until you give in. Give me back my rightful eye and I'll spare you from this hellish loop. And maybe I'll even let you live as my servant. But if you refuse, I'll just let you live like this forever. Watching yourself die over and over again." Lauren's mind was racing as she tries to come up with a plan to escape this torment. "I'll never give you the eye or serve you. I'll find a way out of here, I always do!" She says with determination in her voice. "So be it." Diamond says as the torture continues.

Suddenly the skies turn back to normal as the Kurosekai world fades away. Lauren was breathing heavily as she dropped to her knees. "Lauren! What is it can we open our eyes now?" Tyler asked. "No... not.... yet...." Lauren said while exhausted. "What the Hell just happened?" Harlacher asked. "Literally one second ago Diamond said 'Behold my Kurosekai' and the next second you're on your knees." Harlacher said. "It's a technique that's supposed to break the mind by making you experience the worst fears or pain imaginable. It's like living in a never ending nightmare." She said. "It warps your presentation of time. I spent a whole week in that world and yet it felt like 7 minutes and less than a moment of time passed in this one." Lauren explained. It's so terrifying what I don't understand is that why didn't she just kill me right then and there when she brought me into that world, if she wanted to... she could end me in an instant." Lauren finished.

Diamond laughs. "You think I want to end this so quickly? That would be too kind for someone who stole what is rightfully my clan's. I want you to feel the agony, to understand the true power of a Hanhito. You will learn to fear and respect me, Lauren. And when you do, maybe, just maybe, I will let you out of this cycle of pain." She said with a cold glare on her face. "Hmmmm after all that the bitch's spirit is still intact." Jamson said. "But Diamond be careful that takes up a lot of spiritual energy you know that's dangerous." He said. "I know... but even if I had one present of my spiritual energy these cockroaches couldn't beat me." Diamond said. "But what's the point of this?" Tyler asked. "The point is to show you all the futility of your efforts. You are all nothing but pawns in a game that you do not understand. You cannot hope to stand against the power of the Hanhito." Diamond says. "And once I am done with Lauren, I will turn my gaze upon the rest of you." Diamond says as she turns her crimson eyes towards Tyler and Harlacher. "But for now, let her wallow in her suffering. It will be quite the spectacle to see how long she can hold out before she breaks." Jamson is intrigued. "Interesting. It's going to be fun to watch." He said.

"Tsk. I'll ask again." Lauren said. "Why did you come back here, Diamond?" She asked. "Well if you must know I came here to pay my little sister a visit." She said. "I heard she was raped and her rapist died by suicide." Diamond said. "Aww boo-hoo." She said sarcastically. "That's it?" Lauren questioned. "You're going to do all this over that?" She said with anger. "You're pathetic. You're a fucking monster!" Diamond's eyes narrowed as she stepped closer to Lauren. "You dare to question me? You're the one who's pathetic, hiding behind a stolen power and pretending to be something you're not. You're just a human, a mere insect to me. And I'll crush you like one. Just like I crushed your precious barrier technique. Just like I'll crush your spirit and your hope in the Kurosekai. And as for him..." She paused, her gaze darkening. "I'll handle him after I'm done with you. Now, let's continue, shall we?" But before Diamond can begin Lauren drops a bombshell. "I know who you are." This shocks Diamond and Jamson.

November 29th 2010

Lauren and Tyler were visited by Harlacher at the mansion. "Hey Cheryl, nice of you to stop by." Lauren said. "Don't mention it. How are Alexa and Elena?" Harlacher asked. "They're doing fine." Lauren said. "It's almost December." Tyler said. "That's good to hear. Here but anyways I didn't come here to have s friendly chat." When Harlacher said this Lauren and Tyler immediately understood the seriousness of the situation. "Go on." Lauren said.

"After the Hanhito incident my guys have been looking for Diamond. But we couldn't find anything on her it was almost like she... disappeared from the face of the Earth. That was until I received a report." Harlacher. "What report?" Lauren asked. "A report that she's part of an organization known as the Ankokudzura." The mention of the name shook Lauren and Tyler to their core. "Are you sure?" Tyler asked. "Yes I do in fact but the person who wrote the report was killed by the very same organization. The Ankokudzura was founded far back as early 1800s it's the Japanese word for "darkside" (暗黒面) They may seem like a cult group known for their black and red robes, clock suits, at first glance but they are actually much more than that. These people come together under the belief that the world is a dark and cruel place so they band together to plot for world domination." Harlacher explained. "These aren't just cultist most of them are well train warriors carrying out skills of assassination of judges, police officers, prison guard, prosecutors, jury, anyone who works within the law. They target people who they deemed is in their way." Harlacher explained. "They aren't just an America threat many members from all over the world have joined their cause. Whether it'd be hired bounty hunters, murderers, even rapists are a part of their group." She said. Diamond is part of the higher up group. Those are manners who stand directly behind the leader with rumors speculating they have secret powers up their sleeve. For many years people within the law try to find them yet the always fond a way to escape. I have a suspicion but it's not confirmed but they may have numbers of connections throughout the world." Harlacher explained. "Are you suspecting that this Ankokudzura members have spies?" Lauren asked."It's a possibility but yes I believe so. They have people in places of power, in the government, in the police force, and even in the military. That's why it's so hard to take them down. They might even have spies within the United Nations." Harlacher said. "But why would Diamond join such a group?" Tyler asked with a confused look on his face. "Diamond's motives are unknown but one thing's for sure the fact the Ankokudzura is a force to be reckoned with." Harlacher said. There was a moment of silence.

"Lauren, Tyler, you'll have to train Alexa." Harlacher said. "Sooner or later Diamond will come back for Alexa likely to finish what she started, so Alexa's going to have to spend the rest of her life watching her back. That's the girl's destiny. Lauren, you have a Dobutsu on your right eye and you have knowledge of the Dobutsu and Hanhito clan, you're the only one who can help train her. I know you don't like it but it's the only way." Harlacher finished.

April 22nd 2020

Back in the present Lauren reveals everything. "You guys are a group of mercenaries called the Ankokudzura. You're a secret group gathering allies to your cause right, all this to plot for world domination, right?" Lauren asked. Diamond, Jamson, and several police officers are shocked. "Jamson, change of plans. We'll take Lauren with us, but we don't need the others. Get rid of them." Diamond said. Diamond, Jamson, and several police officers are shocked. "Jamson, change of plans. We'll take Lauren with us, but we don't need the others. Get rid of them." Diamond said.

Jamson smirks as he and charges at Tyler and Harlacher. "You think I'd leave without a fight?" Tyler says as he charges and charges at Jamson. But before they could clash fist vs hammer they all of the sudden heard police sirens from a distance. Diamond's expression changes. "Not again. We're going to have to cut this short." Jamson says. "What do you mean again?" Lauren asks, but Diamond tells Jamson. "Stop. We're pulling out. We're not here to fight a full scale battle tempting as it may be it's not the way to do this." Jamson nods as he stops his charge. "But Diamond, the fun's just starting." He says with a hint of disappointment. "I know, I know. But we have more important things to deal with. We can't let them distract us from the main goal." Diamond says as she turns to Lauren. "We'll finish this another day, don't forget we have barely begun." She says with a smug smile before they teleport away.

The police officers rush in and the chaos of the battle has left them confused and bewildered. "What the hell just happened?" One of the cops asks. "Set up a perimeter send a squad to search this area of the road, we have 2 fugitives Diamond Hanhito and Jamson Gordon. Find them and capture them and in the meantime get Lauren some medical attention, immediately." Harlacher ordered. Lauren, still on the ground, watches as the scene unfolds around her. Her mind racing with what just happened and what's to come. "Why did she take me? What does she want with Alexa?" She thinks to herself. Her thoughts are interrupted by Tyler who rushes over to her side. "Lauren, are you okay?" He asks with genuine concern. "Yeah, I'll live." She says, wincing as she gets up. "But we need to get back to the mansion. Diamond's on her way there." The sirens grow louder as the cops rush in, guns drawn, looking for any sign of the attackers. Tyler and Harlacher explain the situation as best they can, leaving out the more fantastical details about Diamond and Jamson's powers. The officers are skeptical but with the chaos of the battlefield before them, they know they're dealing with something beyond the ordinary. "We need to go," Lauren insists. "We don't have time for this."

Meanwhile at the mansion I was sitting in my room. Not even bothering coming out. Elena came to check on me. Still worried about me. Elena went downstairs with Rachel, Soren, Cecilia, David, and Avery. "How's Alexa?" Cecilia asked. "She still needs some space." Elena said. "How are the babies?" She asked. "They're fine. I place them in separate baby beds." Avery said. "It has to be pretty rough for her, the burden of motherhood when she never asked for it." David said. "Yeah it's really painful." Rachel said. "What should we do?" Soren asked. "For now we have to be patient she'll come around." Elena said.

Just then they heard someone knocking on door. Elena goes to get the door but when she opens she looks up and sees Diamond looking at her. Neither Elena nor the others knew it was her. "Hello?" Elena asked. "Hello there you must be Elena right?" Diamond asks with a protend smile. Diamond's presence sent a cold shiver down everyone's spine. Rachel took a protective step forward. "Who the hell are you?" Rachel demanded. "Relax I'm just an old friend of Lauren's. It's truely nice to meet you all." Her eyes flickered to the baby beds in the corner, and she smirked. "Ah, I see. So this is where the little treasures are." The room tensed as Rachel and Soren instinctively moved closer to the babies. Stay away from them!" Rachel snapped. Diamond chuckled. "Now, now, what's with all the protectiveness I only came by to say hello, Right Elena?" Diamond said. Elena, caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, stammers. "Yes, she's just... a friend." Elena has a look of nervousness. "Friend, huh?" Rachel says, eyeing Diamond suspiciously. "What do you want here? Diamond's smile never falters as she looks at the babies. "Oh, I've come to pay a visit you all. Is there a problem?" Diamond asked waiting for an anwser from the others. Soren steps forward, his eyes narrowing. "What kind of friend are you?" He says. Diamond's gaze flicks to Soren, amused. "The kind who's looking out for the best interests of her family." She says smoothly. The room falls silent, the air thick with tension. Rachel and Soren exchange a worried glance, unsure of what to make of this unexpected visit. Diamond's eyes linger on the babies, and her smile widens, sending a chill down their spines. "But enough about me, tell me, how are the little ones?" She takes a step closer to the beds, her movements deliberate and calculated. Rachel and Soren stand firm, blocking the path to the babies. "They're doing well, but we're not in the mood for company right now. Maybe you should leave," Rachel says, her voice firm despite the fear creeping in. "Aww they look so cute." Diamond said. Rachel, Avery, Elena, Soren, and David all spoke in unison, their voices filled with a mix of anger and fear. "You're not here for a friendly visit, are you?" Rachel stepped in front of the baby beds, her hand protectively on the bar. Cecilia's eyes flashed with suspicion. "Why do you want to see the babies?" she demanded. Diamond tilted her head slightly, her crimson eyes seemingly studying the room. "I'm not interested in those babies." Diamond said as Elena starts to worry while David and Avery talk next. David spoke up, his voice filled with a mix of anger and skepticism. "What do you want, then? We know you're not just here for a friendly chat." Avery spoke next saying. "Yeah spill it, lady." Diamond's gaze shifted to each of them, her smile never wavering. "Ah, so perceptive. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'm here for.... someone else." Elena and the others are trying to figure out what she's talking about. "Who are you talking about?" Rachel asked a hint of demand in her voice.

But before anyone I came down stares. And I saw what was going on my heart pounds as before me my sister Diamond was at my door step. It gave me flashbacks from 10 years ago fueling my anger as Elena calls out. "Alexa!" But I ignored her as my eyes were focused on Diamond. "It's been a long time.... little sister." At that point it clicked in for Elena, Rachel, Avery, Elena, Soren, and David as the pieces came together. "Yo did she just call her 'little sister'?! Soren asked. "I think she just did." David said. "Yeah and her eyes are almost identic to Alexa's both bright glowing red." Avery said. "Then that could only mean one thing." Cecilia said. "The woman standing at our door step is..." Rachel said. "Diamond Hanhito.... Alexa's older sister." Elena said with a hint of shock as everyone is speechless. "Ah I see you gues are finally starting to figure it out." Diamond said. Diamond then looked at me and her smile grew wider. "It's been a long time, Alexa. I've missed you so much." She said with a tone so sweet it could make anyone believe she was an angel but I knew better. I was still getting flashbacks as I remembered her words: If you want to kill me learn to hate me sacrifice any humanity you have left devote your life to hating humans and come to me stronger after you've destroyed whatever bond you have left. But until then.. Run. Run away Alexa and never return. As I finally spoke. "It's as you said, sister." I said while still remembering that night. "I've sacrificed my humanity and got stronger all this time!" I said as spiritual energy slowly starts to build up. "I've lived my life for one single purpose: To kill you! It ends here, bitch!" I yelled but Diamond was completely unfazed by my words. Her smile grew even wider, almost as if she was enjoying this. "Oh, how delightful. I've been waiting for this moment, Alexa. But tell me, how much of a monster have you become to match me?" She taunted as I get even more anger. "Enough talk! You're dead you fucking bitch!" I yelled as I charged at her almost at full speed with my spiritual energy charing jn for the kill while yelling as Diamond stood there silently. But as I got closer, Diamond's eyes grew wide and she smirks as she puts her hand out to stop me. "Oh, I wouldn't do that if I were you." She said. The room froze as the air around us grew thick with energy. Rachel, Soren, Elena, Avery, and David stared in horror as the two of us locked eyes. I felt a sudden jolt of fear, but I pushed through it, my anger fueling my determination. "DIIIIIIIEE!" I yelled as I threw a punch enhanced by spiritual energy that created a hole in the house everyone were all in shock. Jamson came by and was watching the events unfold with a smirk on his face.
