"He did, but she failed. Now, [Name]'s the one doing the other test with her which is probably more dangerous than what Naoki did."

Black. Everything was black again, like it was the last time. Lunna had come again to the void that had she had been avoiding for the rest of life.
But this void was different from the previous one.
It had a very menacing aura which gave a chill down the spine to Lunna. Something was wrong, and Lunna could feel it coming.
Just then, a blue smoke started to engulf the void and weird noises were coming out. Lunna closed her eyes and listened to them.
"....-nee..."
"Why...why..."
"Filthy!"
"Scum!"
"Devil!"
All the things the voices said were cruel and full of hatred. It caused her legs to tremble and she could feel that anytime, her legs would crumble to the ground.
Then, a silhouette showed up from a distance. It had a small frame, and it seemed to be calling out to Lunna because it had one of it's arm reaching out to her.
Lunna doubted to go further to the silhouette, but her body didn't listen to her. Her legs began to walk, and slowly the distance between them was thinning.
"Lunna-nee..." The silhouette called out. Lunna knew that voice so she ran, and ran until she could she reach to it.
There he was. Short black hair, blue colored eyes, and a fragile frame.
"Lunna-nee... You came..."
"Hiro... I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry for being such a bad sister..." Lunna sobbed, and hugged the small frame of the boy. Although she knew he wasn't real, but she couldn't help it, she missed her younger brother so much.
"Oho, what do we have here?" A chilly voice whispered into Lunna's ear, making her hug the boy more tightly.
She gasped, frantically looking around what was the source of the voice. But unfortunately, she couldn't see a little because of the blue smoke engulfing them.
Then, a hand tapped her shoulder causing to let go of the boy, and looked behind her back. But she didn't see anyone or anything. That's when she realized what it meant.
"Shit..!" She quickly looked in front of her, and saw Hiro had already went missing. "Hiro! Where are you?!"
The blue smoke was becoming more and more heavy now. And it was also getting difficult to breath, because of the deadly aura that was following with the smoke.
She covered her mouth using her right hand, and her left hand moving around to make the smoke go away even if it was just a little.
"Lunna~" A voice called out to her, but it made her shiver in fear. There was something about the voice that she was afraid of. Something bad.
Then, a person she knew appeared at the distance between them. "General [Name]?"
Yes, it was [Name] and she was a holding a boy in between her right arm, while the other was holding a gun. "Don't you wanna kill him again, my dear trainee?"
Lunna didn't understand at first. But then her eyes widened in horror as she saw the face of the boy. "NO! I don't want to and I never did!"
"But didn't your lovely brother said, that it was all your fault?"
"Yes, but... I... I didn't want for it to happen..!"
"Ehh~" [Name]'s lips formed into a smirk, and she pointed the gun into the boy's head a little closer. "That's too sad, because if you don't want to, then can I gladly kill the little boy for you?"
Lunna's instinct told her to run unto the small boy, and she did but tripped in the process. "NO! Please, General I beg of you!"
Before she could hold the boy, the two of them vanished into thin air. An eerie laughed echoed throughout the whole bubble and it tripled the atmosphere's menacing aura. And again, the weird noises started to appear.
"Murderer!"
"Get away from him, you'll end up hurting him more instead!"
"Eat shit, you filthy scum!"
"No! That's not true! I'm... I'm not a murderer!" The bodies crawled unto her, desperately trying to tell her something.
[Name] and the small boy appeared in front of her again but this time, the e/c eyed girl was holding a knife. She pointed the knife to the people who crawled unto Lunna. "Hiro-kun, those people were telling the truth right~?"
Lunna looked at her brother with a worried look on her face. The longer she stared, she realized that his eyes were like in a trance. The small boy replied, "Yes, they were."
"Then, do you still consider your Lunna-nee as your sister?"
"I... I don't know anymore..."
"Hmm, I wonder what it feels like to be stabbed by your own sister..." The h/c haired girl pointed the knife back towards the small boy's chest, and pressed it hard that it would almost break through to his skin.
"Hiro, no...!"
"Oh, don't worry Luna. I won't kill him," [Name] disappeared from the boy's side and reappeared from Lunna's side, and handed her the knife. "You will."
Lunna's hand trembled as the knife took place on her right hand. She looked at it with horror, her eyes widening in the process. "But-"
Hiro grabbed the right hand of his sister and clutched it tight. "Lunna-nee.. It's alright.."
"What're you talking about? Of course it's not alright, but.." She paused avoiding eye contact for a second. "Hiro... I think... I think you're right."
"What..?"
"I finally admit it. It was my fault that you were killed, and I'm sorry for the tragedy that happened to you." A tear fell down on her right eye, followed by another. "I had killed you because of my negligence. I'm sorry, Hiro. I hope you can forgive me."
The small boy smiled at her, his eyes turning back to normal. He touched her cheek, lifting her head up to face him. "I already did, Lunna-nee. I'm also sorry for all this trouble that I placed on you. I just really wanted to remind you that even whatever had happened to me, whether it was your fault or mine, I'm always here at your side, Lunna-nee. Don't ever forgot that."
"Thank you, Hiro. For everything." Lunna sobbed, and hugged the small boy, who hugged her back. As they had their little moment, the happiness was slowly fading away because the image of her brother was also slowly dissipating.
"Please don't forget about me." Hiro whispered one more time, before disappearing fully. Lunna clutched her chest, as she heard those words, then she faced [Name] with a strong willed face.
"I... I accept my sin, and I won't forget about it."
[Name] stared at Lunna, and thought about it for a moment. Then she have her a smirk. "Okay, that's good. Be sure to reflect about it everyday~"
With one clap of [Name]'s hands, the memory bubble popped and they were back in reality. As soon as [Name] saw Nine and the others, she tiredly walked towards them, sighed and said, "all done~"
"Not bad, [Name]." Nine stated as he placed a checkmark on Luuna's file. Then he looked at them, with a warm smile plastered on his lips. "Okay, I personally congratulate the three of you for passing the test."
The three nodded, and Nine continued. "You guys may have guessed this or even know this already but I just want to say it again."
The bi-colored eye man looked at Theron, Divya, and [Name], who understood his message, and took a step forward in line with him. "Tasaki Kazu. Slightly long dark purple hair with blue eyes, standing at 5'8."
Kazu nodded at Nine. "Was blamed for the death of Eina's --who is known as his bestfriend-- sister. Charged with murder, prisoned for 5 years by the mob in his village, and then was exiled from the village."
This time, Nine looked at Theron who returned his glance with taking another step forward. "Kazu, since you passed his test, you now belong to General Theron's army --the sin of Envy."
Theron extended his arm out, and offered a handshake to Kazu. But the purplenette hesitated, his eyes narrowing at Theron. "There isn't somekind of plot twist with the handshake, right?"
"Haha, no. Of course not." Theron flashed him another smile but it still made Kazu think in hesitation. Nevertheless, he took the handshake anyway.
Nine clapped his hands, "Okay that's enough. Now moving on to Tetsu." Nine flipped the page and saw the information of Tetsu. "Kaede Tetsu. Short strawberry blond hair with green eyes, standing at 5'6. You killed your parents out of vexation, you were tired of their way of handling you so decided to take the move, and you also couldn't take it if they did it to another child."
"Yes, General."
"Tetsu, you belong to General Divya's scouts -- the sin of Pride."
The same with Theron, Divya stuck her hand out to Tetsu who shook it without hesitation, unlike what Kazu thought. "Welcome, Tetsu-kun. Please treat us like we're family." Divya gave him a warm and genuine smile which made Tetsu's right eye drop a tear.
"Yes.. General. Thank you so much..." Tetsu couldn't hold it back anymore so tears began to stream down his cheeks. Divya hugged the boy in comfort.
On the otherhand, [Name] was watching the two with pity. She couldn't blame them with what had happened to their childhood since they happened to see the cruel side of the world first.
"So, Greene Lunna. Long light blonde hair with magenta eyes, standing at 5'6. You blamed yourself for not being able to protect your younger brother from the massacre that had happened at your home."
"Yes..."
"I know you had a really hard time with [Name] but I'm glad to tell you that we, as well as [Name], welcome you here to our kingdom. You belong to [Name]'s minions -- the sin of Sloth."
"Don't be afraid, Lunna." [Name] gave her a smile and stuck her hand out like the two. Lunna stared at it for a second before wrapping it with hers.
"Thank you for waking me up to reality, General. I really appreciate it."
"Of course."
Lucifer, who was watching from the background, finally took a step forward and reintroduced himself to the new members of their family. He gave them a genuine smile while extending both of his arms sideward. "Lunna, Kazu, and Tetsu. Welcome to the Underworld, and welcome to our small family."

Btw, the scouts will also have their own uniform which is colored in dark blue, black, and a bit of white. I actually searched some designs on pinterest and unfortunately I didn't like them.
So for now, just imagine their uniforms engulfed in those colors because in the future I already have a something in mind for the designs of the uniforms of the generals and the scouts.
