Action! And…Romance? But more importantly, it's not in the Humor genre? Wow. Break x OC, if you don't like it then go read something else. As for "Rabbits and Hatters"… I'll update soon. Once I get inspiration! This was under way for some time, so…yeah.

I don't own Pandora Hearts and all that, but both Hollow Eye and our mystery OC is mine…oh, and Armadillo is mine as well, its not the hedgehog Chain things in the anime.

A Glimpse

Alice led the way, running at full pelt, nearly leaving the rest of the group behind. Raven was a few steps behind her, with Oz a close third. Break brought up the rear, carrying Sharon.

The sound of roaring and shouting became louder as they turned a corner. The chain was not far away. Hopefully, it held a memory fragment, and even if it didn't, it was about to pay for the deaths it had caused.

Flashback:

The trio stared in horror at the sight before them. The bodies that had not been devoured were squashed flat, like bugs under a boot. Walls appeared to have melted by some sort of acid, and the fallen chandelier had been twisted so that it resembled a madman's spaghetti.

'Well, this chain certainly seems to have an appetite for destruction!' exclaimed a voice behind them. Alice, Oz and Raven turned as one, to face the white haired Pandora member. Behind him, Sharon looked around sadly. Last night, this had been the place of a great party and feast. Now, it was the scene of a tragedy, caused by only one person and their chain.

Alice sniffed. 'Whoever they are, we're gonna find them and send them back to the Abyss.' She looked uncertain for a moment, but when Oz questioned her what was wrong, she shrugged and answered that it was nothing.

Finally, they saw the chain. But the strange thing was that it wasn't just a lone chain wreaking havoc. There were two chains, engaged in combat.

The Armadillo chain roared once again, and launched another ball of acid at its opponent. It was massive, with green spiky shell armour and a large tale that ended like a cannon. Its contractor – a skinny man with a giant moustache and ragged clothes – was standing on its relatively flat head, protected by a wall of spikes.

A clear voice rang out from somewhere in the shadows. 'Hollow Eye, attack again!'

From its perch on one of the many buildings, the second chain leapt down, snarling and extending its blood red claws. It looked like a purple-gray fox with oversized claws. Its fangs dripped a blood red liquid, and it had three graceful tails. But the most intriguing detail of this chain was its eyes. They had no whites or pupils, and were red like droplets of blood. It had three of these in each slanted hollow eye socket, each smaller than the last. And in the spaces between it eyeballs, there was nothing but empty black…

With agility that surprised them, the Pandora group watched as Hollow Eye avoided Armadillo's acidic projectiles and managed to scratch one of its eyes and the palm of its giant paws. But each time it attacked, it would not directly aim for these exposed parts. It would always head towards the Armadillo's contractor, and be thwarted on each of its attempts to harm him.

Alice snorted. 'Hey, seaweed. Let the B-Rabbit out; I'm gonna show this weakling how it's done!'

Nodding, Raven placed his hand on Oz's head, unleashing the B-Rabbit. Meanwhile, Sharon called Eques and Break unsheathed his hidden sword. The fox chain took one look at them, and then made a whistling sound.

'Right. We're leaving!' the mysterious voice said again. It sounded like someone was disguising it. Hollow Eye's red orbs glowed, until the crimson light surrounded it. Swiftly, it leapt up to a window, and the light disappeared.

'Huh, fine, run away back to the Abyss then!' Alice wasted no time slicing up Armadillo, using her scythe to eventually destroy the barrier of spikes that surrounded its contractor. While the Armadillo knocked her away, Raven shot the man in the stomach.

'No! Armadillo, finish them!' screamed the man. The Armadillo charged up a giant ball of acid, ready to drown them in melted rock…

'Get back!' yelled Break, grabbing Sharon and pulling her away from the chain. Raven pushed Oz behind a nearby building and followed his young master, as B-Rabbit flew up to the top of the building.

The man, who had moments before been clutching at the wound in his stomach, screamed and clawed at his chest. His seal had turned for the last time; both hands were resting on twelve –

- Both the man and his massive chain were dragged into the Abyss.

'Thanks Break. Wow, the larger the chain the larger the portal, eh?' Oz seemed to have gotten over his initial shock at seeing someone get dragged into the Abyss. Just as well, because Alice insisted on going chain hunting as often as they could, so they could search for her memories.

'No need to thank me, after all, I can't let you die just yet.' Break chuckled at Alice's angry face – she had wanted to finish the chain off herself.

'Huh. Where's that weak fox chain?' Being as bold as she was, she immediately shouted to the empty streets and dark buildings. 'TOO SCARED OF THE POWERFUL B-RABBIT, HUH? ARE YOU A FOX OR A CHICKEN? I'M GONNA FIND YOU ANYWAY, AND WHEN I D-'

Oz clamped a hand over her mouth, and Raven, well; it wasn't any surprise that he started shouting stupid rabbit. This led to Alice calling him seaweed head. Soon, the quiet road was filled with shouts, insults and requests the Oz should choose between a certain human chain and his childhood friend.

'I have already had Eques track the Chain. We just need to follow them now.'

Three pairs of eyes – and one single red eye – turned to Sharon. Her quick thinking was applauded, and she was showered with compliments.

'Well done, Milady!'

'Heh, I guess you weren't useless after all.'

'Wow Sharon, that's great!'

'Master Oz, your coat has been ripped.'

But it was late, and Sharon had said that Eques was fine, and would inform her if anything went wrong. So they went to a local inn and stayed for the night.

'Big brother Xerxes, what's wrong?'

'Nothing you should trouble yourself about, Milady.'

'Then there is something wrong, isn't there?'

'No, no. It's late, and Milady needs her beauty sleep!' chuckling, Break disappeared into a shabby closet. He emerged under a table in his own room, and gazed out the window.

There's something about that chain. That strange feeling… and…why could I see it so clearly?

So, how was it? Please review! Also,

Flashbacks will have the heading Flashback, be written like this, be written in third person, and be separated by page breaks. Flashback italics = this.

But…

Personal thoughts and point of views will be written like this, with no heading. They will be written in first person and the italics look like this.

'THIS IS SHOUTING!'

Well, I hope that was clear! Happy reading!
