{South Side Roronora City}

Preoccupied with the confusion happening around in the city, nobody else sees Esau, with a bubbling blood red SeiõrShield, hopping from building to building above the current mayhem.

Nor do any of them see Saku giving chase, still with the left half of his face covered in a pitch black ’flame of Seiõr’, and the other half, unconcious.

The kidnapper looks back and sees the pursuing captain, with a form of Seiõr that makes even a veteran of the energy weary.

Esau(thinking): *An all black aura, huh?

And it looks like his human eye is closed too. Is that because he’s just focusing on me with that special eye of his, or is this kid knocked out, and that ’Chosen Eye’ has free reign over his body?

Either way, I need this girl as a hostage if I’m going to get a trade for Rebekah.*

People start screaming below, Esau stops on top of one of the last buildings on the Southern most edge of Roronora City, and he looks down.

His green eye grows wide at the sight of the developing situation. Underneath his thick arm is the brave Princess Kawaii, kicking and struggling, while also shouting at her kidnapper, trying to scare him by herself.

Princess Kawaii: "Let me go you big meanie! Or I’ll cut your dick off of your face and make you eat it!

Rrraaaahhhhh!!!"

The man ignores her and continues to look down from the edge of the 5 story building.

There is the skidding of sneakers landing on the same rooftop, accompanied with a whistling wind. The Princess stops struggling, but is unable to turn her body. Esau turns for them both and looks at the challenger in front of him, cautious as to not look directly at the shining bright white orb within the flaming, swirling, pitch dark aura.

Esau: "So you actually did ruin what I had so carefully planned aye, Yin Vessel?"

Saku, or rather his Anjell Eye controlled body, doesn’t answer. Instead, Saku’s legs move towards the princess’s captor on the opposite side of the roof.

Esau: "Resorting to using the angelic voice of my beloved Edom, just to stop me...

Everything would have been all over by now, and your own princess wouldn’t have needed to get involved, if you had just let me deliver Laban her long deserved justice."

With Saku’s body already crossing half the distance between them, the man covered in his SoulSeiõrShield, takes a step closer to the edge.

Esau: "Stop right there, Yin Vessel!"

He holds Princess Kawaii over the edge, facing her away from Saku, above the invading sea of Icemen flowing into the city below, and making her squeak.

Saku’s Anjell Eye controlled body continues calmly walking towards the enemy using his Princess as a hostage.

Esau(thinking): *He has Isfet’s ability. If I let go of this girl, my SharedSoulSeiõrShield will fade from her, and he’ll just transmit her somewhere to safety.*

The man pops his IceEye to 2nd Stage, a smokey aura, and a visible Seiõr energy field is expelled from his alien symbiote. Attempting to propel the approaching threat away.

The same eye ability that brought back a bullet to almost kill Itsuka, the ability that tore Rebekah away from Laban, and also pushed everyone away from trying to help.

However, unlike before, as the ability attempts to push the Yin Vessel away, the Seiõr energy force instead gets sucked in, or absorbed into the ’black fire’ and the spotlight-like pure white center.

The new sight catches Esau by surprise and his strong grip almost lets go of the princess but he regains his hold. It makes the little girl let out another one of her iconic squeaks.

The 2nd Stage eye user shoots out another visible Seiõr forcefield, trying to push the Anjell Eye user back. Again, the translucent Seiõr energy is ineffective and absorbed into the mysterious left half of Saku’s head.

Esau swallows his spit, then reaches back in his satchel.

The area where Saku’s Anjell Eye should be slightly grows, as if focused on something.

Within the white orb, the vision of Esau’s hand rummaging around inside his satchel can be seen. His fingers move passed the red flower he had picked earlier, an unopened granola bar, the lock of all red hair and finally grabbing his gun.

Saku’s pure white Anjell Eye narrows, as if realizing something.

As Esau turns the gun on the princess, the flower and red lock of hair *POPS* out of the satchel.

Holding his new hostage the same way he did with Princess Rebekah, the barrel of the gun to Princess Kawaii’s head.

As both sets of eyes look over at the Yin Vessel, the heterochromic eyes of the "vengeful soldier" show signs of fear and despair. His alien symbiote relaxes to it’s base-kit.

Meanwhile, the adorable pink eyes of Princess Kawaii sparkle, seeing her Big Brother is there to save her.

[FLASHBACK]

{In the Sanpaku concrete stairwell, leading to the padded training room, after Saku and Friend found the stuck and struggling Princess Kawaii.}

Saku: "Hey."

The girl and dog look up at Saku, as he’s looking down at them from halfway up the stairs. The single light at the top of the stairs is perfectly above his head, while he holds his hand out for the little girl. He’s smiling, a pure genuine smile.

Saku: "Let’s go find your PaPa."

The cute little girl, with her bright pink eyes still glossy from crying, look up and she smiles back at him, letting out an excited squeak.

She runs up the stairs to where the leader of the Izanami Division waits for her.

Princess Kawaii: "Put me on your shoulders Big Brudder!"

[End Flashback]

The little princess, who has also been accepted by Seiõr, her excitement turns to frightened and intimidated as her gaze finally reaches Saku’s face.

The dark aura covering the left half of Saku’s head, slightly scares Princess Kawaii.

Princess Kawaii(scared): "...Big...Brudder?"

Too focused on Saku’s new scary appearance, she doesn’t notice the barrel of Esau’s Glock pressed against her curly pink hair.

In the right hand of the Anjell Eye controlled vessel, is the bright red flower and in the left hand, the red lock of hair with a matching color bow tied on the end.

Esau’s eyes dart back and forth between the two red sentimental keepsakes.

Esau: "H-Hey...g...give those back...please. The hair...Th-that’s the only thing left I have to remember m-m-my dead wife...p-please..."

The white orb within the pitch black aura seems to be inspecting the flower and hair, twisting his wrist to more examine the snatched items.

Esau: "And I-I found that flower, it r-reminded me of her..."

The out of control Anjell Eye stops looking at the stolen items, then Saku’s body shuffles to the edge of the building.

Esau: "Wh-What are you doing!?"

The view of the heartbroken kidnapper holding his gun to the head of the young princess, is perfectly over Saku’s right shoulder, beside his closed right eye.

Esau takes a calming deep breath and exhales.

Esau: "Okay, I’ll let this girl go if you give me those back, and you cease in aiding Laban from here on out.

Deal?"

Both arms of the Yin Vessel reach over the edge, holding the flower and lock of hair over the chaos below. Esau’s knees get weak but once again he quickly regains his composure and straightens out.

Esau: "How does stopping me from equalizing the balance of justice, benefit you in the end, Vessel of Yin?!

You know exactly what Laban has done to innocent families.

You’ve seen how horribly she tormented the people in this ’sanctuary’.

And how she played a decisive part in keeping you all caged in those hollowed out mountains for 3 years. There’s no reason to help that DaeMon avoid the dose of suffering she’s long been prescribed."

While the man asks his questions, neither he nor Princess Kawaii can see Saku’s closed right eye wincing and cringing.

Esau: "I wouldn’t doubt you’d help her avoid the death penalty if that were the case here.

Tell me, how can you easily accept someone, allow them to continue living with you, while also acknowledging the atrocities they’ve committed?!"

Saku’s body and head slightly turns to look at the man, now only holding the flower over the edge.

With the city still under attack by Icemen below, a short but sudden tremor shakes the building.

The white orb within the dark ominous aura looks at Esau and Princess Kawaii.

Visible sound waves created with Seiõr, shoot out from the Anjell Eye, unfazed by the inescapable void for hostile Seiõr energy, and it reaches them.

Another man’s calm, and reassuring voice can be heard, combined with Saku’s.

Saku/’Mystery Man’: "’I lay down my life, so that I might take it again.

No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down for myself.

I have power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it again’.

Atonement...

Only I am allowed to truly suffer for those who continue to better the lives of others, in order to find happiness for themselves."

With the Anjell Eye currently popped off in this unprecedented way and in full control of the Yin’s Vessel, the hand holding Esau’s precious red flower opens.

Esau: "No!"

The newly cherished floral reminder for the still grieving widower, drops down below, and lands on the sidewalk.

It is immediately trampled on by the hard sole of an Iceman foot that was already covered in blood.

The flower is now flattened, with a few of it’s red petals pulled off, in the middle of a bloody footprint.
