Time to work on the Origins, shall we? Enjoy this part of Mora's story. This chapter is more of the back story of the species Mora is part of; the Demonyz. It also reveals the oldest of the Demonyz.
The Warden and the Twin?
While Mora is dealing with Silver, at the Facility, the Warden was walking down the corridor of the Facility, Keichi following him. Around them, the cells were still full of Demonyz, not looking friendly.
Keichi had a change of clothes since she is now a mercenary of his; a black leather jacket over a black shirt, a machine gun slung over her shoulder, a dagger strapped to her black thigh boots, which was under her black jean-shorts. She was also wearing sunglasses, to hide her cat-like eyes. She also wore a black and red bandana over her ears, making her look like a tomboy.
Keichi asks, "What is with this place exactly? You locked me and Mora here for years, and you never told us why."
The Warden leaned against his cane, which was a standard issue hook-cane. He sighs as he says "You see, young one, you're actually part of an ancient race that stretches as far as ten-thousand years ago."
"That long?" asked Keichi, surprised to say the least. "What do you mean by that?"
"I mean, the race you're apart of, the Demonyz, have been on earth for many of a millennia." The Warden said as he passed an angry looking Demonyz, who cusses at him, but he ignores him.
"So, what does that have to do with our disease?" asked Keichi, now curious.
"Oh, that just a cover up for the humans that don't understand." The Warden said, surprising Keichi and the Demonyz in earshot.
"WHAT?" asked Keichi, now annoyed that she was lied to. "Why did you lie to everyone in the building?" But she got bonked on the head with the cane, making her groan a bit in pain.
"Watch your tone!" The older man ordered, he then got back into his original posture. He then says "It technically is a disease, but not a deadly kind. Or really contentious, or unhealthy."
"The Cat-ears and tails are natural?" Keichi asked, crossing her arms over her shirt.
"Not for most humans, but there are some with abnormalities." Said the Warden as they walked into a large room, which made Keichi looked surprised. "But you are gods to older civilizations."
The room was shockingly similar to a coliseum in Rome. Large orange and red stone covered the room, large pillars keeping the ceilings up. Torchlight was the only light of the room, and also a large throne in the middle of the room, which had a man sitting in it.
"Welcome Number 236, this is the Temple of Demonyzo." The Warden said, as the man in the throne looked up from reading an old looking book.
The man had to be over 100, since his hair was pitch white, with wrinkles covering all over his facial area, but his features were similar to a 20-year-old man.
He wore black robe with a red circle on his chest, which had the same shape as a man's head, but with silts where the eyes are, and also triangles sticking out, like cat ears. The man groaned as he got up from the throne, revealing his very long tail, which began to coil around him like a serpent.
"Hello, young child." Said the old man said, again like a younger man.
Keichi just looked at the man weirdly, moving her sunglasses away from her face of the torches, revealing to her the old man. "Wow…" She whispers to the Warden "What is he? A thousand?"
"Well…no. He's ten-thousand." Said the Warden, making Keichi give the old man a weirder look.
The old man looked himself over and saw his features. "Well…this won't do." He looked at himself in the reflection in a small fountain and he splashed some silvery-white water. After a bit, his wrinkles disappeared and his white hair shortens into a more lion-mane like looking and also pitching black.
"Yow! Is that the fountain of youth or something?" asked Keichi, shocked.
"Technically yes, but that all it does is make you appear younger, not make you younger." The Warden explained as the man went to his throne.
"That's better." The man said, he stretched a bit. "At least I don't look old now." He then smiled and says, "I am Demonyz, the Lord of the entire Demonyz species. But you can call me 'Demonyzo'."
"Not that different." Keichi pointed out, as the ancient Demonyz nods.
"I don't see why they named the species after me, but after all, I am the first." Said Demonyzo, getting up.
"Wow…you are old. Literally. You must've seen the Pyramids being made." Keichi said, impressed.
"Actually, I helped make the Pyramid of Giza since the Egyptians thought I was a child of their cat goddess." He chuckled and says, "I guess the cat-ears thing gave them the idea."
"Weird." Keichi pointed out, as the Warden nods.
"Indeed, but I changed my mind about it after a bit." Said the Warden, as Demonyzo chuckled.
"Seems the young one needs to learn more about her heritage." Demonyzo said as he got up. "You see, I was just a normal Demonyz, like you, but I learned the secrets of my powers."
He motions to a large picture on the ceiling that made Keichi look surprised and awe-struck. It showed a large red circle with a old black painting of Demonyzo inside of it, a thousand hands flying out of him, like a thousand serpents.
"You want to see how the Vectors look? These are how all Vectors look, so you'll get an idea on how the rest of the Demonyz have theirs." Said Demonyzo as suddenly, a white aura came out of his back and solidified, and in a piercing screech, a thousand hands erupted out of him.
There was hundreds of them, all moving at fast movements, making the pale, see-threw hands vibrate and make a disturbing screech, like a million bats screeching in anger. They moved past each other, making a banging sound. Some of them were near his head, but he seemed calm.
"HOW CAN YOU STAND THE SOUND?" Keichi screamed over the sound of the Vector's screeching, covering her ears.
"Because I can usually hear them all the time." Demonyzo said as he looked at a group of them near him. "But they don't screech, they talk. They tell me what I need to know. But yours can't yet. It takes quite a few years to train to do that."
"Thanks for the info." Keichi said, cringing a bit.
"Also, wonder why I brought you here, 236?" asked the Warden, smiling. Keichi just shrugs, straining her ears a bit. "It's because we're trying to see if you're the second chosen one."
"Chosen what?" asked Keichi over the sound.
The Warden then groans and says "Demonyzo, please put your vectors away or at least make it so we can't see or hear them?" Demonyzo just shrugs at that and makes them vanish into thin air.
"That's better." Keichi sighed out of relief, rubbing her ears.
"Now, as I was saying, we're trying to make sure that you're the other chosen one. Mora is the first, we're trying to make sure you're the other one." The Warden explained, as Demonyzo then interrupts.
"If it isn't you, it could be her." He said, motioning to the shadows, which had a pair of glowing eyes behind a group of bars.
Keichi gulped a bit and says, "I don't think I want to know what's over there."
"Oh, but I think you know what is over there." Demonyzo said as he says, "I know the Vectors you have can sense hers."
"She's a Demonyz?" asked Keichi, looking at the eyes, which looked very angry and…sad at the same time.
Demonyzo sighs and says "Indeed. She doesn't know much of her family, but she knows of her brother."
"Onisan?" asked the voice, whispering to herself. She sounded younger then she looked, but Keichi could only see a hint of a tear in the dim light.
Keichi sighs and says, "Should I leave and you two can talk?" The Warden nods as she leaves.
The Warden sighs and says, "Father, why do we need to find these children? Especially that girl's 'brother'." He knew who the brother was.
"Because, he could be the key to helping us." Demonyzo smirked, revealing his green eyes, which turned into a dark red color with a green slit in each one. He smirked a bit to himself, as he laughed a bit.
The Warden sighed as he began to leave. "You are aware that all that training has destroyed the way my body works. Hope you know that I have a hint of regrets teaching these young people to be mercenaries." He left with that as Demonyzo only chuckled to himself.
"Still young and naïve, that man is." Demonyzo chuckled a bit as he got up and looked at the markings on the walls, which showed two figures; a female and male Demonyz, in front of a large vectors, holding onto each other. Both had 25 vectors, making it look like a demonic spider was looking down at them
"Soon…we shall have the chosen ones here." Demonyz smirked a bit as he continued "And then…we can revive my planet." He clenched his fists as he laughed manically as his Vectors came out again, screeching as they began to move all over the place.
Mora was outside on the roof of the hotel, looking over the city. His new swords gleamed in the moonlight, showing off the silvery color.
"This spot taken?" asked a voice behind him. He reached for a sword when he saw it was just Konoma, wearing a nightgown over a black shirt.
Mora shrugs and says, "Knock yourself out." She came over and fixed the skirt of her nightgown before sitting down.
"So…why are you out here exactly?" asked Konoma, looking at him with concern.
Mora just shrugged and says "Not sure. Just felt bored and went outside for some air. Why are you out here? And how did you get up here?"
She motions to some stairs near them. "We got stairs here." Mora looks at the stairs weirdly, like he didn't see them there before now.
"When did…never mind." He sighed as he looked on. Konoma smiled at Mora as she scooted over closer to him. He noticed as he asks, "What…are you doing?"
"Nothing." Said Konoma, still smiling. She then says "So…what are you thinking about?"
Mora just shrugs and says "No idea. I just feel like there's something or someone keeping an eye on me, but who ever it is, I'll take him or her down." Konoma smiled at him at that. "But seriously though, why are you here? Where's Mota at?"
Konoma shrugs and says "No idea. Asleep I guess." She then smiled and says "Just remember this though, if you need help, I'll be there, alright?"
Mora shrugs and says "Fine, what ever." She then leaned against him, making Mora look at her weirdly, but then noticed she was asleep. He sighs as he sat there, looking at the sky.
A few miles away, looking threw a telescope Zeno was watching them. He was wearing a leather jacket over a gray shirt, blue jeans, red combat boots, and his Z-shaped scar is seen still with a pair of sunglasses over his cat-like eyes.
"Seems I found him, and he's friends with a human now? This'll be easier then I thought." Zeno smirked evilly at that, getting an evil plan in mind.
