New Recruits (新しいリクルート = Atarashi Rikuruuto)

Requester: kwhel22; Prompt: How 4 members of the Shadow Division came to be; this world belongs to the requester.

"Yame-chan, why did you call us here?" Akino frowned at Kam Ayame as he, Rau, Choiseung and Chenhua all sat on the bench with Choiseung's adopted sister.

Ayame smiled, "I want you to meet a very good friend of mine! He's awesome!"

"I'm hoping he's not your boyfriend," Chenhua frowned.

"No way!" Rau laughed. "Yame-chan would tell us if she had one!"

"True," Choiseung nodded.

"Don't worry, he's not," Ayame soothed. "He's just a really really good friend of mine."

"Oh, Ayame-san!" a voice called out, making the girl turn over and grin upon seeing him, "Keisuke-kun! You're here!"

The 4 adults blinked as they looked up to see the younger male stop in front of her, sweating and panting, but looking healthy enough.

"Ah, everyone, this is my friend, Amano Keisuke-kun!" Ayame introduced.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all!" Keisuke bowed to them, smiling shyly.

"Same here!" Rau grinned.

"Keisuke-kun's an amazing person!" Ayame gushed.

"A-Am not!" he went red.

"You are!"

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

Chenhua just sweatdropped, "Drop it for his sake, Yame. He looks like a tomato now."

"Fine," Ayame pouted.

"T-Thank you!" Keisuke smiled.

"It's fine," Choiseung laughed. "So, why did you want to meet us?"

"W-Well..." Keisuke trailed off, eyes looking away. "I-I want to talk about something...."

"About what?" Akino asked.

"About the reality of this fractured reality," his tone suddenly got demonic, making shivers go down their spines.

"You all have experienced how fractured this world is. You all have been hurt, tortured, broken by your own species. So why keep on defending them when they would just sell you out in the end?"

"B-Because we believe in hope-"

"Useless," Keisuke waved it off dismissively. "Hope will only make humans hurt others more. You will never get happiness from hope."

"S-So what?" Chenhua was stuttering, though.

"Why don't we just destroy the world and make it a better place?" he offered. "I have a plan to do that, but I'll need your help. You'll be able to do a lot of exciting things~"

"A-As if we would be swayed with that-" Choiseung shouted, only to be interrupted by a small laugh.

3 heads swivelled over to Akino, who....

Who was laughing.

"Ahahhaha.... I like that idea," he looked up, eyes glowing slightly. "We can make a better world.... I like that...."

"Kino!" Rau's eyes widened. "H-How...."

"Oh come on, Rau, don't tell me you've never had that idea to change something. We've ALL had that daydream of changing the world. But we never did."

The 3 froze hearing that.

"This... This is our chance to bring it to life, guys. Don't you see what kind of offer we're being given?"

"B-But...." Chenhua looked so hesitant.

"Dad... Come on...." Ayame gripped his hands. "We can make it better.... So.... Please...."

"I-I...." Chenhua looked down.

"Come~ On~!" Keisuke sang. "We can make it better!~ You'll be heroes!~"

"H-Heroes?...." Rau's eyes widened.

"Yep! You'll be revered! Loved! You won't be lonely! The world will be happy! No more mental illnesses! No more pain! No more suffering! No more crimes! Just PEACE!"

The 3 of them froze on the spot, making Ayame and Akino begin to worry.

"Guys?" Akino tilted his head.

"You okay?" Ayame looked very worried.

".... Yeah... Actually... I've never felt better...." Chenhua smiled, eyes glowing as well.

"Keisuke's plan sounds wonderful!~" Choiseung giggled.

"Let's do this!" Rau hummed happily.

Keisuke's eyes widened slightly, before he smirked, finally exposing his true personality, "Splendid. Welcome aboard."

Sorry if it's short.
