Description
     Emi awoke with a start at the sound of someone pounding on the front door. She groaned and sat up, kicking her feet over the side of the bed.
     Knock knock knock.
     She sighed and stood up, taking a moment to stretch out her body before heading out of her bedroom. As Emi exited the hallway, she spotted Mello standing at the front door with his hand on the back of it as if he was going to slam the door into the other two guys' faces any minute.
     "What do you want with her?" Mello was asking just as she stepped into the view of the other two men. They both looked at her and without a moment's hesitation, they pushed Mello out of the way and headed straight towards her, pulling out a set of handcuffs.
     "Emillia Danielle," they were saying, "You're under arrest for illegally hacking into.." And that was all she heard. Everything moved in slow-motion from there. Her eyes went wide with fear and shock. They had found her.. She was done for. She'd never see her family, again.
     She glanced at Mello as they pulled her arms behind her back, tightening the handcuffs around her wrists. He was staring back at her with the same, shocked expression. Then, he looked at the cops, and his expression changed to anger. He said something and took a step forward, but the other cop put his arm out to keep Mello away. Suddenly, Mello's eyes locked on something behind Emi, and he quickly said something. As the cops started pushing her past Mello and out the door, Emi turned her head around and saw Melani standing there, tears falling from her wide eyes. Her mouth was open slightly as if she wanted to say something, but her lips didn't move. She was speechless.
     Then, everything returned to normal. Emi could finally hear Mello telling Melani to go to her room. She could hear one of the cops telling her her rights, but she wasn't listening to him. She was too focused on Mello and Melani.
     She started fighting back, pulling her arms slightly. Emi shook her head, forcing tears to fall from her eyes. "No! It's not my fault! He made me do it!" She looked at one of the cops. "He made me do it! He said if I didn't, he'd kill my family and then me!" The cop she was talking to paused for a moment and glanced at her.
     "Who did?" He asked.
     Emi pressed her trembling lips together. "Marco Librandi."

     Marco grinned as he stared intently at the vile filled with an ominous black liquid.
     "What is that?" A young man with messy black hair and bright, gray eyes asked as he watched Marco turned the vile over in the palm of his hand.
     "This, Coal, is what I like to call 'Chaos'," he answered mischievously.
     Coal furrowed his brows, giving Marco a confused look. "Huh?"
     "This liquid is what's going to help me destroy Evil Academy once and for all. One whiff of this stuff will drive a person absolutely insane and bloodthirsty. It's what's inside all of those containers," he said, waving his hand towards the several large barrels, each one sealed shut. Coal's eyes widened as he stared at the barrels. He quickly looked back at Marco. "Don't worry, you won't go insane. Those barrels are air-tight."
     "So.. You're going to put that liquid inside the missiles instead of explosives?"
     Marco nodded. "Yes, indeed, Coal."
     Coal's gaze faltered a moment. He pressed his lips together and looked back at him with a slightly worried gaze. "But, that'll make everyone in E.A. crazy, won't it?"
     Marco tucked the small vile of Chaos in the front pocket of his jacket and raised a brow at Coal. "That's the point, Coal. I want them all to go mad and just kill each other. It'll be utter chaos," he said.
     Coal pressed his lips together, again. He didn't like the sound of that all that much. He didn't want people to actually kill themselves.. But there wasn't much he could do. Marco was his recently adoptive father, he couldn't just stand up to him. He was the only person in this world who actually wanted him. He could have picked all of those other kids at the orphanage, just like all the others, but he didn't. Marco picked him. And he was forever in his debt..
     "Well, how do you even know it actually works?" Coal suddenly asked.
     Marco fell silent for a moment, thinking to himself. "Hmm.. I suppose you're right, Coal," he said. He gave Coal a wide, threatening grin. "I guess you'll have to go get some test subjects for me, then."
     Coal froze. It was hard enough just to watch his adoptive father commit terrible acts, but to actually do a terrible act himself?
     "Bring back two who aren't insane or on the brink of insanity. In fact, bring the first two kindest people you encounter, alright, son?" Marco added.
     Hesitantly, Coal nodded, and then headed for the front door. 'H-He called me son..'

     It wasn't long before Coal reached E.A., flapping his wings as fast as he could. He didn't want to disappoint Marco.. He had to do this right. He flew closer to the ground, making sure to stay out of sight. He spotted several people who seemed very kind, but he wanted the kindest of them all. He was going to impress Marco.
     Finally, by the time the sun was high in the sky, he spotted someone. He lowered himself to the ground, hiding amongst a small set of trees. He peeked out from behind the tree at the smiling couple sitting on the bench. They both seemed very kind, but the man stood out to Coal the most. He had his arm wrapped tightly around the woman and smothered her with kisses, making her giggle. He had black hair with white bangs and brilliantly bright blue eyes. He was constantly smiling at the woman, and Coal couldn't help but feel jealous. 'He's so happy.. And he's so kind and loving towards her.. I'm sure Marco would be pleased with this one.' He thought to himself.
     Suddenly, the man stood, saying something to the woman. The woman smiled and nodded at him. The man said something else, making the woman giggle before he turned and headed in Coal's direction.
     Coal gasped and quickly turned, pressing his back against the tree as the man passed him, heading deeper into the small patch of woods.
     'Where is he going?' He thought to himself, watching the man disappear in the trees with a curious look on his face.
     He quickly shrugged it off, though. 'Now's my chance.'
     And with that, he hurried after the man into the small patch of trees.

     His first kidnap had been a success. Coal was able to knock out the young man with a fairly large rock e had picked up and carry him all the way back to Marco, who was thoroughly pleased. Which made Coal want to do even better, this time.
     He sighed as he sat on the top of a building, far away from the park. He looked down at the streets below, keeping an eye out for anyone who seemed too kind.
     It wasn't long before he spotted another one. In fact, it was still light out.
     She was walking down the sidewalk holding hands with a small girl and another man. She had shoulder-length brown hair and matching brown eyes, but what made her stand out the most was her bright orange shirt. Coal hovered above the buildings following them, watching. They had finally stopped at a small ice cream stand. Just like the other man, she showered the little girl and the black-haired man with love, constantly smiling at them and making them laugh as they waited for their ice cream.
     Finally, once they had gotten their ice cream, they started walking, again. 'They might be heading home.. I have to get her quickly.' He thought. She was going to be more difficult than the other man, but he knew he could do it. All he had to do was swoop in, knock her out, catch her before she fell, and take off. Piece of cake.
     Coal noticed that the sidewalk had nearly cleared, aside from the occasional passerby. Plenty of room from Coal to swoop in.
     Taking a deep, trembling breath, Coal jumped from the building, speeding after them from behind. As he neared her, he pulled his elbow back, knocking her in the back of the head. In the same swift motion, he scooped her onto his shoulder and took off, too fast for anyone else to even react.
     Coal sighed heavily as he glanced back at the shrinking E.A. A wide smile spread across his lips as he looked back at the unconscious woman on his shoulder.
     'I did it,' he thought. 'Marco's going to be so proud..!'
