" I'm going to get you Noct!!" The 12 year old princess laughed, as her 7 year old brother laughed, " No you won't! I'm faster than you!"

Noctis laughed as he ran away, having fun before he gasped as his old spinal injury flared up, and he ended up tripping over a rock as his knees buckled

Marina gasped as Noctis groaning in pain, his knees had cuts on them as he sniffled,, scared to see the blood and was hurt" Oh Noct! It's okay, it's okay hang on..." she quickly yet gently pulled him to a tree with shade as she got the first aid kit and quickly patched him up

" It's okay Noct...see? No more blood or anything...it's alright..." Marina said, as Noct slowly uncovered his eyes and didn't see the blood anymore and his knees patched up, as he looked down

" Hey...it's okay Noct...you alright...promise." Marina told him, sitting next to him, holding him gently. She noticed how he rarely smiled now, and how he always seemed sad and never talked to her or wanted to rely on anyone.

" Hey, Noct. I'm going to let you know something, and it's going to be a pinkie promise, which means it's only going to be between you and me, got it?" She told him

"...what is it?"

" I'll always be there for you." She smiled at him sweetly, which surprised him, " Even when your older, and probably won't need me there to patch you up, or when you don't like me putting ribbons or hairpins or anything in your hair, or even think hanging out with your sister is lame-" Noctis frowned and pouted hearing that. He didn't want to ever think hanging out with his sister was lame. It was always fun to play with her or goof off, and she would do it anytime he asked.

"- and trust me, there will be a time when that happens...I'll always be there, supporting you, listening to you ramble on and on, or just play games, or need a shoulder to cry on...I'll be there."

Her smile dimmed a bit, " My studies are going to take up more of my time soon....so I wont be able to hang out for a long time like usual, and I won't be able to play games...but I'll make time to be there for you, I promise." She held out her pinkie, " As long as I can move and talk, I'll always be there for you."

" Really? You will..?" He asked, wiping his eyes, looking at her

" Hehe, yep. Promise. As long as you promise the same thing." She giggled amused.

"...Yeah, and I'll do the same! Promise Sis!" He smiled happily as he wrapped his pinkie around hers and they laughed happily, the sun shining down, the air was clean and breathable-

'W̸̧̰̖̥̱͖̞̩̰͈̹̤͎͖̖̍̈́̀͛̃̐̔͂̊̃͐̈́̂̕͝ã̸̘̿̒̋̉͐̿̉̒̈́̎̑̂͐̚k̵̛̲̬̩̃̂͆̄̓̈́̂̉̔̓͗͋̚͘ȩ̶̘͓͎͕͕̗͔̪̭͕̫͍͂͌̀̃ ̸̻͓̮̹̦̗̫̯͂̔̈͂̇̈́͗͌̑͗̕͠͝ȕ̷̻͌̈̃̈́̀̃̋͘͘p̶̖̐͐͊̔̕͝'

The sky was filled with ash and smoke, as a four legged dog ran through fires and damaged buildings. The dog panted as he ran, trying to find something, or rather, someone.

In the distance, he could hear someone, crying out for 'Nana' or 'Master'. He scowled, ' That's not her name...where is she?!'

He heard coughing in the distance as his ears tilted up, as he ran to the coughing and found a body, leaning on the rubble. He whined as the body turned her head and he flinched seeing blood on her face, and burns on her neck and she was missing her legs.

" O-Oh...Umbra....you...shouldn't be...here..." She began to cough again, blood coming up

'Umbra' whined as he pawed the ground

" Y-You...need to get...out of here.....S-Sonia....needs you....I-It's dangerous..." she wheezed out.

He barked, ' No! I'm not leaving! I can't leave you! I would never do that!!'

"...wait...I know....that...voice...." She wheezed out, and asked in a wheezing quiet voice, "...N-Noct...?"

Umbra-Noctis barked as he licked her check, looking happy she recognized him before he whined seeing her like this.

" Oh Noctis...I'm so sorry..." she rasped out, " I'm sorry....I couldn't protect you...back then...'

' No! Don't say that! Please don't think or say that!' He begged her

" I hear a dog barking and coughing.....I know your here Nana.." They heard a man's voice say, as footsteps were heard.

" Y-You need to get out of here Noct...Please get out of here..." Nana begged, coughing more

' No. I won't leave you Marina.' He told her

" You can't...die here...again...please run..." she wheezed.

" We....made a promise remember? To always be there for each other...no matter what....I won't leave you....not...again." He wheezed out, straining his voice, using some of his powers in the dog to talk to her.

"....Noct..." she whispered, a tear falling down before the footsteps stopped

" Ah, there you are Nana...oh, and your little dog friend too." A man stood in front of them, a wide grin on his face. " I believe this is the end, 7th holder. After this, I'll find your student, and kill him in a more brutal manner then you, and take back the quirk that was rightfully mine."

Noctis growled at him, baring his teeth as he stood in front of his sister's weakening body

" Hmph, what? So this is what the all mighty Nana Shimura is reduced too? A dog defending you? How pathetic." He scoffed

" I think it's time to end this. Goodbye, Nana Shimura...or should I say, Marina Lucis Caluem." He grinned even brighter, as she began to laugh, startling them a bit

"...You...think this is the end..." she wheezed, " It's not the end, for me and you....I'll always be there...watching your every move...and when I get the chance...I'll make you regret ever being alive.....I'll haunt your dreams...and mark my words....my student and family...will make sure you go down and die...." She grinned happily, blood on her teeth

" Hmph, pathetic." He scoffed, " I've heard enough-"

" You think you're going to kill me? Hah...I won't let you get the pleasure of ending my life...I'd rather go out my own way..." Marina laughed, as she looked at Noctis, and instead of seeing his dog form...she saw her sweet brother, he looked to be 7 years old, looking at her, in fear, as if he had a bad dream and wished to spend the night in her room.

' I'll always be there for you. I'll always make sure your safe.'

"...I'm sorry Noctis...I'll see you...soon. But now...you need to run." She said, as she used the last bit of her strength and quirk, for two things. She threw the dog as far as she could safely, and used it to snap her neck, to not let All for One to get the pleasure of killing her as he yelled in anger

" MARINA!!!"

' Yeah, and I'll do the same! Promise sis!'

"...." Marina couldn't breathe anymore as she was losing air  as she used her last breath and whispered smiling, "...I kept...my promise..."
