Chapter 1 : Void

In the City that Once Was, or the City that Now Disappeared, as it was now called, Kyori went into the headlines of the newspapers. (Of course! How many times a day do you see a City disappearing? I bet you see it everyday)

Headlines like : City Disappears. Area Sanctioned, and Who ate Kyori? Reito Govt. Suspects Underground Monster (But then again, the latter was a headline for a lunatics only newspaper)
The problem was not that the City disappeared though.
A City that disappeared, leaving only ground could be rebuilt, no problems. Like Hiroshima, after it was hit by an atomic bomb.
The problem was, the City, and the ground disappeared. So, people passing through the area found themselves looking at the inky nothingness where Kyori had once stood.(Which was pretty impossible, since the government had sanctioned off that area.
Only the main road bridged the two ends of the inky pit.
And just before the sanctions came in, there was a van on the road. A white van. Inside the van was Angelo Nerezza, and Lilia Type. Tyrk was with them.
And they had a vehicular problem.

To the untrained eye, the vehicular problem seemed to be that the engine had altogether stopped running. But to those who had been trained, they know, Loki, also known as Mischief, had did something. (Actually, Loki pulled one of the engine's belt while it was moving, causing it to snap)
Loki was hovering above the van, cackling like a maniac. No one could see him of course. Trouble's brother (well, STEP brother, if you want to be politically correct) had always caused trouble for him.
Must be the attention he lacked when he was younger. Oh well, wherever Mischief went, Trouble tended to follow. And right now, Trouble sauntered up to them.

And Loki had a brilliant idea. The passengers were still in the van. Time to have fun (and time to trouble Trouble)
He gathered his breath, and fixed the engine.
The vehicle moved. But, then, Loki, as usual (after fixing something), will have his own clause to the agreement. This time, he controlled the steering wheel. And pointed the van towards the void. And accelerated.

Trouble had to catch up with the falling van. But, Trouble was as usual, slow. Misery could kill him for this!
He sped up.
