In a crumbled up building on the east side of tokyo stood a room that looked almost perfect. None of the walls were cracked, the plumbing worked, and the AC seemed to be in tip top shape. Now many would wonder why this was. It was mainly because this was Emanyeru's secret hideout in Tokyo. He kept it for safety and spying reasons but mainly for a rest and recovery station for almost any survivor he found that seemed to be able to walk, talk and nearly fend on their own.

A shadow in one of the darker corners elongated and stretched outwards spanning out in a ray fashion. The shadow receded as Emanyeru walked in with the young female before sitting her down in one of the chairs. He cut the wire and turned back to one of the monitors not even bothering to make sure she wouldn't attack him from behind as he studied some of the new data that he had collected while he was out on his walk to the asteroid site. "So why were you out there past sunset. You know the SR's get more ruthless once the sun gets down."

Kouu observed the environment and stood still as the man cut the wire that she was wrapped in. She stood perfectly still like a statue. "I was just taking a walk....Beside, I could of handled those SR's!" Kouu said.

Emanyeru chuckled slightly before turning back to her. He held a shotgun in hand and cocked it before tossing it to her. "Sure you could have handled them. They also could have handled you. Buts its truly not the SR's that you should be worrying about..." he let the sentence hang and turned back to the weapons strapping two Beretta's and a Glock 9mm to his belt. He pulled out a Thompson war issue battle rifle and strapped it to his back along with his scythe. He pulled out a hunting knife and placed it on his belt as well. If one were to notice that motion they would see that he also had several swords strapped to his belt as well. After adding the projectile weaponry he turned back to his weapons closet and pulled out a large battle axe that he had taken from an SR after a scuffle a few weeks back. He frowned and shook his head before putting it back and pulled out a slightly smaller and possibly modified version and handed it to her. "Here use this also." He made sure everything was on him before walking over towards the blank wall opposite of them and tapped a floor panel. The panel rose and slid out of the way to reveal a hatch that led to the lower levels. He motioned quickly "After you..."

Kouu cought the shotgun that the man had tossed to her. Kouu followed his motion of putting weapons onto his belt. Her eyes followed him walk to a closet, what she thought was a weapons closet of some sort. Kouu watched him take a large axe then put it back, then take out something that looked like a smaller version of what he had out before. Kouu gripped the axe after he had handed the smaller axe to him and stood up. She stood up and walked behind him as he stepped to a wall, then watched how it opened when he stepped on a floor pannel. She nodded and walked into the hatch.

Emanyeru nodded and followed her down the stairs as the hatch closed after them. Lights flickered on in the dim closely enclosed hallway as he led the way down the winding path. He reached another hatch and pulled out a UV light which revealed a small glowing identification patch in the shape of a fox. He pressed his thumb to it and blinked as he felt hundreds of tiny needles stick into his skin. He breathed a sigh of relief as the door slid open revealing a large expanse of room which housed hundreds of people. "Good thing the identification plate still worked or else we'd both be dead. But other than that welcome to salvation core. The only safe spot in Tokyo."

Kouu observed the surroundings, following behind the man. She watched him press his thumb in a patch, shaped like an animal. Kouu watched as the door slid open, and observed the room which was behind it. "This is amazing....." Kouu said, looking around the place again. Kouu thought for a moment. Only safe place.....? Kouu thought to herself. "Um..What is your name?" Kouu asked the man.

Emanyeru looked over his shoulder. He smirked over his shoulder showing off his fox like features before turning back to the masses of people that stood before him. "Me..." he started as he grinned out at the people before turning back to her, "I'm the crimson darkness..." He placed back on his mask before walking out into the hordes of people patting some on the back and whispering encouraging words to others. Though to some that may not seem much. But to those people they were what kept them going each day. Many had lost their families, and others their homes. All of them lost the reality of everyday life and now clung on to whatever remaining normality as though they were beggars to a loaf of bread. "Hmm..." he mumbled as he sat up against one of the walls and placed his head against the wall. He stared in her direction and studied how she looked and documented every curve and surface for later mental processing before closing his eyes and drifting off into a light sleep in preparation for the next days hunts.

Ace has followed the two figures which he followed from downtown ruined Tokyo towards a nearly crumbled building which was suited in the east side. The two figures one male and one female entered the building and so did Ace right behind their tracks in the shadows barely seen...They went upstairs which were somehow still have not crumbled.

The two figures reached the fourth floor and entered in an apartament, following them right behind as their shadows Ace took a glance in the apartament...it wasn't touched at all from the destruction...This can mean only one thing...Ace knew that since this place isn't crumbled or anything he knew the true now and knew his hidding in the shadows was useless even for a perfect assassin and almost a master of the shadow movement and shadow techniques.
Ace basically exited from the shadows and he appeared right infront of the male and the female, his eyes not seen because of the cloacks but attention focused to the male Ace spoke in a calm tone.
"So this is Emanyeru Kouseitan'i, the famed, his hideout..."

Emanyeru's eyes snapped open instantly at the sound of the males voice as a shadow tendril extended from Emanyeru's own shadow ready to impale the foreign person's shadow at any moment. "Who are you..." his tone was cold and distant almost like a fridged blizzard. It held a sort of warning that meant tell me or die as Emanyeru reached for the hunting knife on his side.

Not moving even a muscle just like a statue Ace knew what he was facing and knew the next attack...which would be deadly...and since he wasn't on a mission there was no place for unidentifying...and his name is well known...
"Perhaps you know me as the...Ace of Spades...or Ace." He said and paused. " The Bird."

Emanyeru visibly relaxed at the term the bird and smirked. He withdrew his shadow tendril and stood up to face the male. He grinned brightly before holding out his hand. "Haven't seen you in a minute Ace. What happened to you after impact man i know we lost contact and all but you should have atleast tried to keep in touch." He spoke with Ace in a friendlier tone than before though his well trained fight and flight senses were still in action.

Ace slightly sighed as he heard the impact he still couldn't forget the good days back at the old continent with the creed and later on in the land of the rising sun where he made missions and well got to know many individuals around, Tokyo the capital of this Land was a masterpiece of development and now it was nothing it kind of made Ace shudder but he stayed calm and started his story.
"That thing...that destroyed everything...I lost contact with the Creed..I don't wish to talk much...I survived due to a lost artifact...an artifact..which is why the world exists and why did it begin...but I lost it..."

Emanyeru froze when he heard that, "Hold on...you lost the artifact. What do you mean you lost the artifact!". He back erratic at the loss of one of the important items in the world and began ponder the what would happen if the artifact were found by the new moon organization. "We have to find it..."

Ace nodded and took a deep breath.
"The reward of finding it is...the complete restavration of our world just like before and total annihilation of the invaders and the new moon...people's lives would be returned, happyness granted and a new beggining better then the old...and no more invasions...back to the normal way of life.." Ace said and again he paused. " At the price...of something big...Our lives or either we find my leader's corpse dust...it has the lost sacrificial stone...another articat which not only could stop us being sacrificed for the new world but also has the power to deny existance of individuals...if someone gets to that...the whole galaxy would change...These are the two items we are to find first the sacrifical stone that includes the body dust which could be in Japan or the old continent...if we can't find that or are sure that the others have found it we are to find that other...the Holy artifact and sacrifice ourselves..."

Emanyeru sighed at the news he was given and nodded. "Lets find the sacrificial stone first. It should lead us to the artifact if we find it quickly." He checked his wares and nodded before heading towards the door. He looked back at the female for a second and frowned. She may be a liability so we may have to leave her here.... He agreed with that thought and continued towards the door while waiting for Ace to follow him.
