Rex Crozzo shyly peeked out onto the study room of his oldest brother, Reinhardt Crozzo. The poor family had just lost their parents in accident and with the rest of their families unable to come, it was up to Rein to protect and guide his brothers.

Elysia Shariac, Rein's partner and friend would be one of the pillars for the snarky and kindhearted Rex Crozzo. In another timeline.

The current lord commander of the Crozzo order slammed his hand on his desk at the letter he received from Otto Apocalypse, a distant adoptive relative but a welcomed part of the family. He has his information network scout out some problems and he was right. There was a spy in their ranks.

Noticing a slight squeak, Reinhardt's eyes narrowed at the door only to soften at the sight of his youngest brother. "What are you doing there, kid?" He asked Rex who shyly approached him.

"I... I was worried about you big bro..." Rex said, looking at the taller male who playfully rubbed his head.

"Big brother is fine."

"Yahallo~," Elysia Shariac, Rein's partner and a welcomed addition to the house, greeted the group with a smile, playfully yet gently scooping up the little boy in her eyes.

"Big sis!" He shouted jn glee as he hugged the pink-haired young woman.

-_-_-_-_-_- 500 years ago -_-_-_-_-_-

"Hua!" A young man shouted as he looked the form of his friend. It has been a decade or two since they last met due to his job but now.

"Do I know you?"

"Hey, Hua are you still mad at me for accidentally copping a feel? I'm sorry!" He begged as he looked at the young woman who now looked at him like he was the lowest piece of filth in the world. "Come on, we should let the others know."

Slap!

Ren Cruz looked at his hand in shock. Hua slapped it away and she did so. Why?

"Ren. Just stop. Just... Go away."

-_-_-_-_-_-

Reinhardt said nothing as he looked at Elysia's phone... No... It can't be her.

He trusted her...

His brothers love her like she is they're blood related sister...

To think she's the spy...

The stress of his parents' deaths, the new job...

REINHARDT broke.

"I need to protect my family..."

Rex looked as Reinhardt looked depressed. Big sis Ely left while crying but Rein... Rein was sad.

"God fucking damn it!" Hearing his brother's rage, Rex squeaked and jumped away, only to hit the desk and break a vase.

'oh no...'

"REX!" hearing his name, the youngest Crozzo shied away only to freeze as he felt his brother's hand on his head. "Are you okay?"

"Y-yes... But the vase..."

"Screw that vase, Rex. The only thing that matters is that you're safe." REINHARDT said with a smile as he looked at his younger brother.

Tears fell from Rex's eyes as he hugged his oldest brother.

In an unknown location in an unknown time.

"You sure this will work?"

"Yes, Project STIGMA is the only way."

"Captain Kevin... I will follow your orders."

"You don't need to do this, Ren." Kevin said with a blank look while turning around as Ren summoned his divine key, a pair of gauntlets and a lone black wing as dark as coals unfurled from his back.

Turning to Su, Ren looked at the stars of Eden and activated his special ability and shouted. Reality rewrote itself at his words as he and Su clashed.

In an unknown location, a young man dressed in tattered clothes woke up. "Who am I?" He asked himself as he looked at a small notebook. "Ren Cruz? Is that my name?"

-__-_-_-_--_-__-

Reve sighed as he looked at his brothers, the two idiots were cheering him on and he loves it. There was no way he could lose this.

Holding his sword, the young man looked at his opponent, Rita Rossweisse. Smiling to himself, he moved.

A single change where Fu Hua didn't accept Ren caused a timeline of loneliness for the three crosses. What will happen next? Who knows.
