Relieving the murder of his mother again and again has Theon stuck in an emotional havoc, just as Saru had planned. Just after his mother is murdered everything goes black around Theon, just as he thinks it stops he all of the scenery of his village comes back. For Bane though this is not the case. It started out the same for Bane, all was black and there was no sound at all. All of the sudden Bane was back in the village he was born in, Arndale village.
"Skill Negate? That's such a useless skill. How could you be born with such a useless skill?" exclaimed Bane's father. Bane's father picks Bane up by the collar and throws him against the wall, knocking all of the air out of Bane. "AND YOU, Bitch how could you give birth to such trash, like him and his brother." screamed Bane's father. Bane's father activated his skill "Cleave" and in an instant Bane's mother lay in a pile of neatly stacked cubes, blood everywhere. There and then Bane's mother was murdered by his father. At that time at such a young age Bane had no idea how to work his skill. As he grew up he regretted that he couldn't save his mother. After relieving this moment early on in Bane's life it all went black.
The smell of fresh baked bread danced through the air taunting Bane. After being cast out of his village for being trash Bane was adopted by a small family, having had to lie about what his skill was was the only way to stay alive. "Bane, Randolph come on in and have some bread!" yelled Erin. "Haha, father!" exclaimed Randolph in a state of pure joy. Bane and Randolph dug into the fluffy sweet bread. This happiness wouldn't last long for Bane. A couple weeks have passed with Bane helping tend the farm, and help around the house. Later that evening the family was awakened with a frightening crash, a window had been broken. The family knew that they weren't alone in their house. A group of local thugs had broken into Bane's house in search of nefarious fun. They weren't there for money but for blood, they wanted to kill.
Bane and his adopted family all knew that tonight was going to be their last night on this planet. No one in that family had known how to fight, they just huddled up and cowered in the closet hoping, and praying that the thugs would just leave. This was not the case, just as the thugs were about to leave Randolph sneezed. It was a quiet sneeze, but just loud enough for the thugs to come back into the house and continue their search. With a little extra searching they found the family. The thugs were armed with basic longswords, but the burliest one was armed with a regular great sword. All the thugs wore twisted grins as they saw the family cower below them. They were going to take their time and enjoy the moment. Randolph made an attempt to run, but it was futile. Just as Randolph tried to take off one the thugs activated their skill "Paralysis" and the family was frozen. Frozen in space like a statue the family had to watch as the thugs started to cut young Randolph, they didn't want to kill him just yet, no they wanted to torture him and have the family watch in horror. Once the thugs had their fun, the burliest stepped up with his great sword and took aim. Just as he started to swing down Bane activated his skill "Skill Negate" leaving the thugs in utter shock, this caused the great sword to miss and become firmly lodged in the floor. Just then a wave of anger and primal survival instincts washed over Bane, he went into fight or flight and he chose fight. Lunging at one of the thugs with the speed of lightning, Bane landed on one of the thugs and they fell over. The thug kicked and flailed on the ground trying to remove Bane from his chest. Just as he was making some progress, Bane slammed his face down into the thug's neck. Bane sunk his teeth into his neck, splitting the thug's carotid artery. Bane stood up leaving the thug to lay in a pool of his blood. Bane picked up the thugs sword and charged at the other thugs. In a single slash he took down one of the other thugs, leaving just Bane and the burly thug. Finally managing to remove the sword from the floor, the thug gets in his ready position. Bane rushes the thug with blinding speed, he throws his own swords aside. Seeing this opening the thug goes for an overhead slash, having predicted this Bane grabs and clasps the sword between his palms. With a simple yank Bane has disarmed the thug. Filled with fury, Bane punches the thug straight in the stomach, this causes the thug to collapse to his knees and cough up blood and his lunch . Bane picks up the great sword, and with one clean swing the thug was executed by Bane.
Having witnessed the events, Bane's adopted family fully realized who he was. "Your… you're Bane the skill less." exclaimed Bane's adopted father. "You... you executed that one thug. Why, why couldn't you just let him go?" asked Bane's adoptive mother. "Not only that but you have the skill Skill Negate. We need to report you to Arndale village. A violent animal like you doesn't deserve to live any further." exclaimed Bane's adoptive father. "You're going to turn me in to be killed after I just saved you?" yelled Bane. knowing that at this point it was his life or theirs Bane knew what he had to do. The father realized what Bane was going to do, in an attempt to stop Bane he rushed out at him. Bane quickly sidestepped and slashed, after this the father's body collapsed to the floor. Blood spraying everywhere from where the fathers head used to be. Next to go was the mother, in a quick action the mother was also relieved of her head. Lastly was Randolph, Bane didn't want to do this he had come to love Randolph and looked at him as if he were his brother. "How could you do this to my parents, Bane? When I get out of here I'll turn you into Arndale Village, but only after killing you myself you bastard." shouted Randolph. Hearing this shattered Bane. In a quick blow he ended Randolph as well. Bane collapsed to his knee's weeping. Things went dark again.
As things began to lighten back up Bane heard a familiar voice. "Bane, is that another job in the books?" questioned the familiar voice. "Lana, how are you here? You should be dead." said Bane. "I am, and it's all of your fault as well." proclaimed Lana. "If you were born with a skill that was actually useful I would still be alive," said Lana. "All those years that I was nice, it was all fake. I was just scared of you. I know you're a cold hearted killer and nothing more. You're just as bad as the people you kill for money!" screamed Lana. Hearing this set Bane off. "That's not Lana, the Lana I knew was never afraid of me. The Lana I knew was the only thing that gave me humanity. The Lana I knew was the nicest person to anyone, she cared for me as an older sister would her little brother." proclaimed Bane. Hearing this Bane started to lose control of his anger. On the outside Bane sword started to begin to glow a familiar icy blue aura. The air grew cold, all of the bandits had no idea what was to come.
As Bane's anger began to grow uncontrollable, Saru's skill began to crack. Saru's ability allows him to make people relieve their deepest, most horrifying trauma. On top of that, Saru can also twist the memory to make it more painful for the victim like he did with Bane. See, what Saru didn't foresee was the fact that Bane has completely come to terms with his past, and in combination with his anger that he could break out of the skill. In an instance Bane had completely shattered Saru's ability. In this moment he took off in a sudden burst of speed. He launched himself at the nearest group of bandits, with 3 quick swings of his sword he had completely lacerated the group of 5 bandits. Their blood covers Bane's face like warpaint. Just as Bane launched himself at a new group of bandits, a sudden fast swing of a great sword sent Bane flying. In front of Bane was now a burly giant of a bandit, she had to be about 6 foot 9 easily dwarfing the 6 foot 5 Bane. The she bandit was full of hard earned muscle from years of slaughtering her prey. Bane knew this was going to be a fun fight. He leapt at the giant in a blinding speed, Bane was able to cut her leg and chest. Blood started to pool down to the ground forming a small puddle of crimson mud. Despite these cuts being so deep, they seemed to have no effect on her. She took her great sword and swung down and cracked Bane on the head, this sudden shock caused him to lose balance and collapse seemingly dead. As the giant turned away Bane slashed her Achilles tendon, immediately the giant collapsed. Bane was standing over her to deliver the killing blow, just as he was about to plunge his sword into her chest Saru reactivated his skill on Bane. Suddenly it all went dark for Bane and Lana reappeared. "Even now you're still just a cold hearted bastard, a killer. You know Bane, your father was right. You are nothing but trash." said Lana to Bane. Hearing this caused Bane to throw down his sword. Still accepting his past Bane was able to break through the illusion again, though this time was different. When everything cleared for Bane, he had found himself impaled by the giant's great sword. In immense pain Bane collapsed to the ground landing directly on his sword.
