[Flashback: 3 Years Ago]

Where was he?

He couldn't hear, see, or feel anything.

Just numbness and a empty feeling.

That was until he felt a sudden splash of water hit his face suddenly waking him up.

He shook his head trying to get rid of the water droplets from his hair.

The last thing Alex could remember was successfully assassinating his target at the Lastation Casino, only for tons of Lastation police forces to suddenly chase him into a trap and cuff him.

The young, 10 year old Alex looked up slowly.

It felt like something was forcefully injected into him to impair him as Alex felt slow and could barely stay awake.

His gaze across the room stopped as a man in a suit spoke.

"No dozing off." He said.

Alex tried to move his arms, only to see his wrists cuffed together behind the chair he was sitting on.

The man simply weighed and spoke. "You don't get it huh? Give it up brat!"

The man kicked Alex hard in the guy as it knocked Alex off the chair and the chair to fall down.

Alex laid on his side on the ground as he grunted in pain.

"Come on cooperate. Or do you want another shot?" Threatened the man.

Alex couldn't even stand up due to his severe fatigue and turned his gaze to the security camera in the room.

The man noticed this and turned towards it as well.

"What about the camera kid?  Do you really think it could be used as video evidence?" Asked the man as he kneeled and grabbed Alex's head harshly by his hair.

Alex didn't answer his question as simply kept quiet.

The main got upset and dropped his head. "Didn't you hear my question? Answer me punk!"

The man kicked Alex hard in the gut againt as Alez coughed and wheezed again, gasping for any air he had left.

The man walked over to a table in the room and picked up a clipboard with paper attacked to it.

"Let's see. Alex Mustang. Age 10. Born in the Lastation Slums. Works for the shady Black Ops HQ. Worked as secret assassin, "Yuki". Illegal poessesion of weapons, tons of murderers. And here's the nail in the coffin." Said the man as he chuckled. "Committed the massacre of the Lastation Slums. Talk about the works. To think a little young punk like you could cause all these heinous acts. And you seemed to enjoy every second it seeing as how many crimes you committed. Am I right?"

Alex looked at the man with a neutral expression. 'I, enjoyed killing? I can't remember anything though. My mind's to hazy.' He thought.

"You should've known your place after the massacre kid." Said the guard as he walked up and removed the cuffs.

After they came off, Alex finally sat up rubbing his bruised wrists.

As he did, the man held a clipboard with a paper and pen in front of Alex. "Sign here. It's a confession under your name."

Alex simply grabbed the clipboard and accepted the pen which the man handed to him.

Before the man let go, he got right up in Alex's face.

"Don't think your gonna walk out of here alive. We're going to make you understand. One must take FULL responsibility for their actions."

Alex took both and looked and read the paper, before finally looking at the bottom.

Signature: Alex Mustang      

After he finished signing and gave the clipboard and pen back, Alex was instructed to just sit on the chair at the table.

He sat and that was it.

The man left and Alex just waited for something.

He didn't know who he was waiting for until the last minute when he heard steps, heeled steeps walk in front of the door and stop.

At that moment, Alex knew who it was.

The door opened and in walked the CPU of Lastation herself, Black Heart

Black Heart sat at the chair directly in front of Alex and began to speak. "To think it be you of all people. Uni would be devastated if she found out you were here. After all, the two of you became really good friends. Anyways, I'll ask the questions from here on out."

Black Heart looked to the floor and saw an empty syringe as she sighed.

"Damn bastards." She said as she looked back at Alex. "Can you hear me properly? It seems like you've been through a lot. Almost anything can happen here. And it all relies on my decision. Take as long as you want. As the CPU, I can wait as long as needed, though, it be easier for the both of us if you answered honestly."

It took a moment but Alex finally spoke. "Answer honestly about what? All the murders? It won't matter. Why give me a chance when it's clear as day what the decision should me? Everyone in this nation wants me dead."

"So? What about them?"

"Isn't it a CPUs job, duty to give the people what they want so they can continue putting their belief in you? Then be a CPU and give me the death penatly."

Black Heart sighed and was a little disheartened to see such a young boy care so little about his own life.

"While yes it would best in my self interest to give you the death penalty, I don't wanna upset Uni about the fact I sentenced you to your death. Also, it wouldn't be fair for me to not give a citizen of my nation a chance to talk."

"It be a meaningless talk then if you just want me to talk about everything honestly."

"Fool. I don't want anything recent. I know all your recent murders were to remove corrupted citizens and officials within my nation so I thank you for that. What I wanna hear is this. It's clear that the event that sent your life down the path of bloodsed and assassinations was the Lastation Slums massacre 3 years ago."

Alex nodded. "Yeah you got that right."

"Tell me. What was your motive? Why did you do it? More importantly, who caused the massacre of the slums?"

Alex gave a small smiled before chuckling a little. "Do you really wanna know? Are you sure you wanna know?"

"Like I said, it's in our best interests if you answer honestly and avoid death."

"Fine then. The person who caued the Lastation Slums..."

Alex trailed off and kept quiet for a bit, clinching his fists tightly, almost trying to keep in his anger.

"It was you, Black Heart."
