The room was filled with hushed whispers and heated debates. People were shouting and yelling everywhere. The long mahogany table shook once or twice due to the force of the fists slammed on it. The resulting vibrations formed tingles on the skin of the people that were unfortunate enough to put their hands on the table of the meeting room.

"Nee, nee, Akashicchi. Do we have to stop them?" A blonde with warm golden eyes that were decorated with long lashes asked. He also had a piercing in his left ear and wore black military uniform that added to his charm. He slightly fingered a katana that was strapped to his left hip.

"I bet you I can shut them up in one minute, Kise. After all, the only one who can beat me is me." A tanned man with short, navy blue hair and dark blue eyes retorted. Like all others in the room, he also wore black military uniform but was slightly messy due to his wild nature.

"I bet you Aka-chin can do it in one second, Mine-chin." A tall, purple head commented lazily. With his height being an intimidating 208cm, no one could even hope to defeat him in terms of aerial battle. His lazy violet eyes glanced at their solemn leader sitting at the end of the table.

"It's not even a bet if Akashi is in it, Murasakibara." A man with short, dark green hair and light green eyes spoke while adjusting his black-frame glasses with his middle finger and pointer finger. The fingers of his left hand were taped while a green toy frog was sitting innocently on the palm.

"Midorimacchi, what's that?" The blonde, Kise Ryota, inquired while pointing on the green frog on the green head's, Midorima Shintaro, left palm. Midorima glanced at the frog and replied, "This is my lucky item for the day, Mr. Ribbit. Man proposes, God disposes. I am a man that proposes, I always carry my lucky item of the day with me as my horoscope said. That's why my shots never missed." As if to prove his words, his dual guns glinted in the light.

"Only cowards fight with weapons. Real man fights with their fists. Right, Murasakibara?" Aomine Daiki, the tanned man, remarked to the purple head. Murasakibara Atsushi just shrugged and continued to eat his snacks.

"And that is why you are an idiot."

"What did you say, you four-eyes?"

"Aominecchi, only you are a battle maniac here."

"Oi, Kise! Whose side are you on?"

"None."

Aomine was about to retort and add to the cacophony of noises in the meeting room but their leader that was sitting in front of them with his back to them finally had enough. He spoke only one word and yet that word carried so much authority and command in that smooth, velvety voice.

"Enough."

All of them involuntarily shivered and the other military leaders reluctantly sat down with their respective subordinates standing behind their chairs, just like the authoritive figure's subordinates. All of their eyes were now on their leader, a man whose hair resembled fresh blood spilled from the wounds of their enemies. His equally red eyes boring into them as if gouging and knowing their deepest secrets, causing some of them to squirm and flinch under his gaze.

"I have decided on our course of action in order to deal with the rebels. We will send someone to infiltrate the rebels and destroy it from within."

"B-But A-Akashi-sama, the rebels knows all our soldiers and even if we train a new recruit, he or she won't make it in time for the war." A black haired man wearing glasses stuttered. He was the leader of the Seirin district, Hyuga Junpei.

"Yes, I am aware of that, Junpei but what I am thinking is completely different. While it is true that we will recruit a new soldier, he is a skilled veteran in killing and assassination. Isn't that right, Chihiro?"

Akashi spared a glance at Mayuzumi Chihiro, a subordinate of the Rakuzan district's leader, Mibuchi Reo. Mayuzumi's eyes widened and he stammered, acting the complete opposite of his usual deadpan and composed self.

"A-Akashi-sama, y-you couldn't possibly mean…"

Akashi chuckled in amusement. "Oh, but I do, Chihiro. Only he has the skill to go into the rebels' base and assassinate the leader, Hanamiya Makoto. Yes, I am talking about your half-brother, Kuroko Tetsuya. The Phantom Assassin."

Chaos ensued.

XxXWhere is that lineXxX

"Man, that sure was intense, huh Akashicchi?"

Akashi was walking to his destination and was accompanied by his subordinates that consist of Kise Ryota, Aomine Daiki, Midorima Shintaro and Murasakibara Atsushi. Akashi merely smirked and said nothing.

"So, how are you going to convince him to our side, Akashi? He isn't the most dangerous criminal for nothing. It took four platoons and three district leaders to detain him along with three of us."

"I have my way, Shintaro. Besides, have you forgotten that I didn't join the infamous Phantom Hunt two years ago?"

"If you joined, then it wouldn't be called a hunt, Akashi. I swear you show up at the right place at the right time, always."

"Isn't it obvious, Shintaro? I know everything and since I always win, I'm always right."

"Aka-chin, we're here."

The five of them stopped at the gate of the most secure and heavily guarded prison in the United Districts of Teiko, the Seiho Prison. The chief of said prison, Iwamura Tsutomu, saw them and immediately bowed to acknowledge the presence of the military dictator of the United Districts of Teiko, Akashi Seijuro.

"It's an honour for us to be graced by your presence, Akashi-sama, but may I ask what is your business here?"

Akashi smirked and said, "I am here to free a certain prisoner to help us in the upcoming war, Tsutomu."

Iwamura quirked an eyebrow. "Oh. And who, if I may ask, is that lucky prisoner, Akashi-sama?"

"Kuroko Tetsuya."

As expected and like many before him, Iwamura's eyes almost popped out of its sockets. Akashi's smirk grew wider at the anticipated reaction. Midorima sighed at his leader's antics, Murasakibara continued munching on his snacks while Aomine and Kise snickered.

"B-But, Akashi-sama, the Phantom Assassin NEVER listens to anyone! He's a lone wolf!"

"I know but all of that will change today, Tsutomu. Now, lead us to him."

"Yes, Akashi-sama."

Iwamura led Akashi and his subordinates to the cell where Kuroko was imprisoned in. It was located 50 floors underground and had at least three guards guarding it 24/7, signifying just how dangerous the man was. Kise whistled, impressed by the great lengths they went just for one man. Meanwhile, all of them were oblivious or purposely ignoring the excited whispers around them.

"Hey, that's them, right? The Generation of Miracles?"

"Generation of Miracles? What's that?"

"You don't know? You must be a rookie then. They are called the Generation of Miracles because they single-handedly stop the war between the six districts-Yosen, Kaijo, Touou, Rakuzan, Seirin and Shutoku- and unite them under one. The United Districts of Teiko."

"Woah! Really?!"

"Yeah. And that's not all. All of them are prodigies that had never been beaten in a battle that involves their preferred weapons. A katana for Kise-sama, gloves for Aomine-sama and Murasakibara-sama as they fight hand-to-hand. Though sometimes, Murasakibara-sama uses his giant hammer as well. Midorima-sama uses dual guns. Rumours are that all their weapons are custom-made and are gifts from Akashi-sama."

"I see. Then, what about Akashi-sama? What's his weapon or weapons?"

"No one knows. No one ever saw him in battles except for the rest of the Generation of Miracles."

All of the GoM and Iwamura were inside an elevator to go to the lowest level of the Seiho prison when Kise finally could not contain the question he had been dying to ask since he heard Kuroko's name. He turned toward his idol and newly-found victim, Aomine Daiki and dropped the bomb.

"Nee, nee, Aominecchi."

"Hmm?"

"Who is this Kuroko Tetsuya and why does everyone, except Akashicchi, seems to fear him so much?"

Everyone's expressions tightened and Kise was becoming more intrigued by the minute. Seconds passed by before Aomine finally sighed and looked at Kise with serious eyes.

"I don't really know the exact details but three years ago, the heir to the House of Kuroko who is also the last member of that family suddenly went on a homicidal rampage."

"House of Kuroko?" Kise tilted his head to the right.

"The Kuroko family was the ruling family of Seirin before the Unification, just like how the Aomine family ruled Touou and the Akashi family ruled Rakuzan."

"How come I've never heard of them?"

Aomine grinned. "That's because the Kuroko family is very secretive and worked in the shadows."

Kise raised an eyebrow. "Worked?"

Everyone's expression turned even more solemn.

"Yeah. Worked. Rumour has it that before The Great War between the six districts came to be, that scumbag Hanamiya killed the entire Kuroko family so that he could rule Seirin. Leaving only the heir alive."

Kise gasped. "What?!"

Aomine clenched his fists. "Yeah. Not even the servants were spared."

"Then, what about Mayuzumicchi? I thought he was the heir's half brother."

This time, it was Midorima's turn to speak. "While Mayuzumi Chihiro is indeed Kuroko Tetsuya's half brother, he is not considered a member of the Kuroko family and was shunned by the rest of the family except for Kuroko Tetsuya and the head of the family."

"But why, Midorimacchi?"

Sighing, Midorima answered. "Mayuzumi was born from the affair of the head of Kuroko family and a mistress. You should know what fate awaits a child of royalty that was born out of wedlock."

Kise nodded. "They will be shunned, jeered, sneered at and many more. They are not allowed to roam freely, should the child be given the privilege to stay in the palace."

"Indeed. As the matriarch of the Kuroko family hated him, Mayuzumi was sent away by the family head to live with the family of his mistress at Rakuzan."

Kise was silent for a minute, contemplating the new information. After what seemed like eternity, he finally opened his mouth.

"And then? What happened to the Kuroko heir?"

Everyone silently exchanged looks before Iwamura answered.

"Like Aomine-sama said earlier, Kuroko Tetsuya went on a homicidal rampage to avenge his family. But since the perpetrator was not known at that time, Kuroko blindly massacred anyone he suspected was involved. Of course, that included the other five royal families."

"Eh?"

By now, Kise's jaw was barely hanging on. Iwamura, however, either did not notice Kise's shock or chose to ignore it and continued, "And since the Kuroko family was and still is considered as a royal, the Kuroko massacre garnered attention from everyone and with Kuroko Tetsuya going around killing everyone, a bad atmosphere was formed and even the slightest wrong move could cause war."

The blonde gulped. "W-Wow. I didn't know it was that bad."

"Yes, eventually with enough proofs and witnesses that the authorities were lucky enough to find, all the evidences pointed at Kuroko and orders of capture were issued. But Kuroko fought bravely and only when Midorima-sama, Aomine-sama and Murasakibara-sama joined the Phantom Hunt, did he fall and finally be arrested. It was also during that time that Akashi-sama managed to successfully unite the six districts and appoint new leaders for each districts."

Everyone was silent and Midorima glanced at Akashi to gouge his reaction but as usual, Akashi was unreadable. A 'ding' was heard, signifying the arrival to the lowest floor and all of them prepared themselves for the next course of action. Facing Kuroko Tetsuya.

XxXI don't like thisXxX

Hyuga Junpei sighed heavily, causing the other district leaders to look at him. All that was present at the meeting earlier was still inside the meeting room except for the Generation of Miracles due to the shock of hearing Akashi's plan to lure Kuroko to their side. Granted, part one of the plan was definitely going to earn Kuroko's attention. After all, the prisoner would do anything to avenge his family but the absurdity of the plan was on the second and the third part-especially the third part-which if they were honest with themselves and they were, Kuroko would most probably laugh at Akashi at best and brutally killing Akashi at worst.

"Is there something wrong, Jun-chan?" Mibuchi Reo asked Hyuga which made Hyuga cringed at the nickname.

"Don't call me Jun-chan, dammit!" Hyuga snapped. The others just chuckled in amusement at the event that would soon unfold.

"Don't wanna."

"What are you, a kid?"

Hyuga's best friend who was also the Vice Leader of the Seirin District, Kiyoshi Teppei, patted his back and laughed. "I think it's better if you just tell us what's wrong, Hyuga."

Hyuga looked like he was about to retort but in the end, he sighed and buried his face in his palms.

"I'm not sure about the second and the third part of the plan, Kiyoshi. Especially the third part."

Kaijo's district leader, Kasamatsu Yukio, scowled. "Well, I don't really approve of Akashi-sama's plan but even I have to admit that if all goes well, Kuroko Tetsuya will no longer be a threat."

"Not to mention, we might see a side of Akashi-sama that we may never see for the rest of our lives." Imayoshi Shoichi, Touou's district leader, put in his two cents.

Okamura Shinichi, district leader of Yosen just snorted and muttered, "Like hell that will ever happen. Akashi-sama will never show us that side of him."

"One can hope." Mibuchi chimed. "But still, how do you think Kuroko Tetsuya will react after he knows?"

Everyone in the room was silent before suddenly, shivers went down their spines.

"Maa, maa. I'm sure Akashi-sama will not die or at least, stay intact."

"Don't even joke about that, Kiyoshi." Hyuga muttered.
