The Tale of Requiem - [Prologue]

At first,Twlight City sounds just like any other city. Dull,boring,yatta yatta; you get my drift,yes?
But no,not my city. The city where life is always the most active during the periods when the sun sets.

Now it wouldn't be called Twlight City for nothing now,would it?

Oh! Let me introduce myself,I'm Requiem. To keep things short and sweet so you can read the story,I'm basically the "king" of Twlight City. Well,ah erm,I WAS anyway.
Anyway,this is my tale,so come along with me~!




"The sun rises in the East,but sets in the west. Blah,blah,yatta yatta.."

"Req,are you even paying attention?"
A sudden pause followed the question.

"Do i ever?"

"Ugh,you're such a slacker!"
Pale eyelids flittered open,revealing dim-grey orbs lightly highlighted with pink around the edges stared blankly into the icy-blue orbs of a petite blonde's. The blonde gave way to a flirtatious smile.

"I love your eyes."

"If you love them so much,carve them out and take them."
The greyish-pink eyed male rolled over onto his side,away from the blonde and groaned. With a pout,the blonde huffed his cheeks.

"It wouldn't be as fun as claiming them as my own!"
Requiem snorted.

"Freeze,I told you more than once,I don't swing your way."
The blonde,blue-eyed male gave way to another pout as he sat up on his elbows.

"Not even you being gangbanged turned you?"
The other male snorted again and closed his eyes,pulling into himself.

"I thought I said not to mention that.."

"AHA! So it did affect you!"

"Not in the least!"
Requiem shot up,rolling over,and glowered down at Freeze as he returned the favor with a sly smile. With a roll of his eyes and as well as his body,Requiem returned to his original position on his stomach and stared down at the crowd of people about the city's floor. His brows knitted in disgust.

*Look at all of them...*
Crossing his arms under his chest,Requiem sighed irritatedly.

"Tell me again Req,why are we doing this?"
Freeze asked as he propped his elbow on the roof's platform the two laid on. He then rested his chin in his hand,following Requiem's gaze.

"Why? Because one,we're hungry. Two,we need those bells. And three---"
Requiem trailed off as a fairly large cargo-train began making its way through the crowd.

"There he is,right on time!"
Just as quickly as Requiem got up and shimmied down the building's ladder,disappearing into the crowd,Freeze sighed. Shaking his head,he too stood up and followed.


Pushing through the crowd,the demon-eyed male followed the moving cargo,determined to catch up to it. Assuming his partner was close behind,Requiem didn't even turn to look back.

*Gotta catch up! Need munny,bells,reputation!*

"Reqqqq!!!"
Freeze's voice sounded distant in the shouts of the crowd,but it also didn't help the fact that Requiem's only registration was to catch up with the cargo-train. As he drew closer towards the train,his left hand clasped upon the hilt of his hidden weapon. Still he continued to push past the now-emerging crowd. Screams of all sorts rang all around him,yet the only thing he heard were the bells upon his waist,and the desired ones of his enemy.


"Greeting Twlight citizens! The trade between Dawn and Light has been a successful one,and now before you I present...The King of Light!"
An announcer spoke,and forward stepped the one,the only,The King of the Light Kingdom. Requiem's gut dropped,and suddenly a wave of hot euphoria washed over his being.

*Can I do it? Food,munny,rep. Food,munny,rep..*
His mind chanted as he drew closer to the front of the on-growing crowd. But as soon as the wretched king began to throw canned goods into the mosh,the Twlight citizens screamed and pushed; the wanting hands of the poor fighting to get to the precious cans. It sickened Requiem,all of it!


"Req!!"
Again Freeze screamed towards his still-advancing friend. Bastard,he wasn't going to get away with this crime!


Euphoria usually has its limits,and Requiem's own disappeared as he still advanced. The Light bastard dispersed beyond a black curtain,back into the cargo-train.
But one of the better traits of the trains were that they ran from both cities to towns. Twlight City was connected to Twlight Town via cargo-train,and thankfully by hopping another train,Dawn City and Town,Dark City and Town,and Light City/Town were all half-hours away depending on what you took.

Pushing through the crowd once again,Requiem darted quickly between the black-hooded guards and shimmied up an iron ladder. A smirk flashed across his slightly-bruised lips.

*It's times like this I'm glad I was a slave boy.*
Once atop the cargo-train,the demon-eyed male stayed low and half-crawled towards an exit route that the train's ceilings were graced with. Oh,safety first!
Peeking through the meshy material of the exit door,another smirk flashed quickly across his lips. How easy,the king was alone,sitting in his lovely piece of shit throne,with a bored expression on his features to boot! Requiem's fingers nearly jumped in joy as he unsheathed his weapon and thrusted the blade into the ceiling of the train.
But the Light bastard only smirked when the twlight dweller jumped down into the cart,his weapon posied to strike.


"My,my,I figured an assasination attempt would ensnare. Tell me lad,who sent you?"
The man draped in white asked,a bit boredly in fact.

Requiem shrugged his shoulders,letting the tip of his blade touch the floor.

"I sent myself?"

"Ohh,a spunky one,aren't you! And yet,you're graced with a Keyblade?"

"And if I am?"

The king of Light furrowed his brows,his whole expression changing. He stood up,pushing his white and gold cape behind him and withdrew a key-shaped blade,just like his own. Requiem's lips contorted into a smile.

"Oh come on now,all I want are your gang territory bells!"

The taller of the two thrusted his Keyblade out before him,pointing the tip at Requiem.

"What makes you think I'm going to give them to a puny kid like yourself?"
The King asked with a rather childish tone. Did he really think the Twlight dweller would back off?
Requiem's free hand automatically leapt into action,and instantly,his own Keyblade bursted into a purple and red light. Pulling his right hand free,the one blade that graced his hand now turned into two shorter blades,twin blades. The king raised his brow and flashed a quick smile.

"A dual wielder,hmph? Let's see what you got lad,bring it!"

"Consider it brought!"



"Ughhh,I can't believe you! What the hell where you thinking?!"
Freeze stood at an angle,his arms thrown at his sides. His cheeks were huffed in outrage. Requiem threw forth a small bag labeled with a triangle and a silver circle drawn around it towards the blonde,who caught it with a gasp. Untying the silver strings,Freeze gasped again and clutched the bag.

"Where did you get this?!"

"Well,I can now honestly say I killed the King and gained the respected territory points I needed."
The demon-eyed Twlight threw eight small silver-colored bells into the air,which created a nice jiggling sound before he caught them with a wicked smirk. The blonde's eyes widened.

"You're serious?"

"As serious as I'll ever be.."



Yeah,I killed the king..
