Don't Close Your Eyes In the Dark
Chapter 14
Xavier's gonna confess in this chapter, leaving everyone with mixed feelings on what he has to say...and a not too pleased Logan
"I believe I owe you all some explanations..." Xavier said as he wheeled before everyone, he couldn't even look Logan in the eye anymore with how murderous and far too quiet, even for him, he was being "Kami was right...about everything"
Logan lit a cigar and Taeger grabbed the lit end of the cigar "Not now, bakayaro" Logan glared at him and was tempted to pop his new claws through the Ghoul's skull, but restrained himself as Charles continued "Magneto and I may have also had a hand in Michael's creation..."
This filled the room with gasps as Logan promptly got up with tears in his eyes as he went to his room without a word as Ororo stopped him "Logan, please...stay"
Logan stopped and looked at her without any emotion "What's the point when he's been lying to us all this time?" He was gone with that "Colossus and the other could've died in that base and he wouldn't have cared, is that all we are to him...living expendable weapons?!"
Temujin felt bad for Logan, he wanted to ask just how long the two have known each other but Yang put a hand on his shoulder and shook his head "Leave him be...he needs to think, like we all do"
Elsewhere with Kami and Chase, Chase had opened a portal that Kami could barely see on the other side of, he knew the Angel wanted vengeance for the supposed death of his brother by the former Ghoul Lord's hands but he wasn't going to be imprisoned or killed without raining down all hell on Chase first...
"You will answer for your crimes against humanity, Ghoul" Chase said as Kami replied "Crimes against humanity?"
Kami could hear someone or something coming towards them from the other side of that portal "I think you have me confused with someone who cares for humanity at all...I hate them with every living fibre of my being"
Whatever was on the other side of the portal stopped moving, earning even Chase's attention as a humanoid body stepped out of the portal, the strongest of all the Angels, Aegis who wore a white armor with a helmet with a cross over his face and had a total of 12 wings, six white ones on his left side and six black ones on his right side as well as two gold rings of energy rotating constantly around his body
"You..." Chase said as Aegis replied "It seems you have yet to find your brother...Chase, but you've at least managed to find his weapon"
One thing that no other angel knew about Aegis is that he was actually a demon who switched sides during the Great Demon/Angel War as he turned on Kami with his demonic killer's instinct "You will make a fine addition to my playthings in the Heavenly Prisons, former Ghoul Lord" he'd been watching Kami for long enough from since he was still Ghoul Lord as he pulled out his sword as a black substance burned on the inscribed blade, but Kami could tell it wasn't fire...nor was it something he'd advise himself to let touch him "Hand over that scythe!"
"Sure, once you go to hell first" Kami responded as he charged but he then noticed something as Zaraki appeared, swinging his pipe at the Angels, especially Aegis without warning "Oy, nii-san...were you planning to leave me out of a fight like this...against such strong opponents?"
He swung his pipe at Aegis but it bounced off of his armor harmlessly, much to his disgust, as he used telekinesis to toss him "pest, begone..."
"You're just a glue for trouble, aren't you, Kami?" Fenrir asked as he attacked Chase as Kami growled "Be quiet, Michael's little mutt, before I put a leash on ya...what I do is of no concern to you and I'm far from through with making those X-Men suffer"
"Oy, Kami!" Zaraki threw his pipe at his younger brother as Kami simply moved his head to dodge and they death glared at one another "I won't allow you to die by anyone's hand but mine"
'Mōshiwakearimasenga, watashi wa shinu tsumori wa arimasen... Watashitachi wa sudeni subete fumetsudeari, ima shinigami ga shinigami-sama ni keiiwohyōsuru nodesu.' (Sorry, but I have no intention of dying...we're all already immortal and now it's the mortals' turn to pay their respects to Shinigami-sama.) Kami bit back at his brother who gave him a sharp glare as Zaraki ignored all others and ran full speed at him "You and your big mouth, don't get cocky because father loved you and despised my very existence!"
Fenrir got in the middle to stop the two "enough, you two" but both Ghouls swiped at him growling "Stay out of this!"
"Chase, I think I'll enjoy myself in this world a little" Aegis walked away as Chase looked at him "Are you sure...sir?"
Aegis looked back at him "Yes...it isn't beyond your power to deal with these two as long as you can keep them from each other" he pointed at Kami and Zaraki
Elsewhere, Temujin wanted to persuade Logan to stay at the mansion, knowing that although he made no move to leave yet, he was more than ready...
Temujin made it to Logan's room and hesitantly knocks the door, but Logan simply sits on his bed with no interest in moving or making a sound as Temujin opened the door to look at him "You don't have to leave, Logan-sama..."
"Yes, I do...there's nothing lef here for me anymore" Logan replied softly looking at his hands "I won't let anyone stop me either"
"You're going after my father, aren't you?" Temujin asks before pleading "Let me come with you...please"
"Your father doesn't love you...I thought you figured that out by how many things he's done to you and yer mother to kill you both" Logan said "He doesn't even like you and would be no happier if you were dead...or hurt enough that you'd think twice about meddling in his plans for...whatever it is he wants"
"As much as I want us to be a happy family...I don't need you to tell me just how impossible that is" Temujin said as Logan came up and put an arm around him as he smiled faintly "I'll make him suffer for everything he's done to us...I'd only say no because I don't think you can handle that" Logan walked out with that to find a deafening silence had filled the mansion's halls
A glow under the front door caught Logan's attention as Warren came up to the two, but Logan stopped him from asking what happened with one raised hand.
Logan went up to the door and opened it to see Aegis standing there, but Aegis' attention was solely on Angel, so much that he hadn't said a word as Logan queried "You want something, bub?"
"I am Aegis and I want the demons here to come out...and play" Aegis said as he reached for his helmet as he took it off to reveal a human face with black sclera and eyes that were red rings, he didn't show any visible emotion but from mere eye contact, Logan thought 'Shit, he'd better not kill Kurt if he comes out here...'
"I won't kill anyone here, I assure you, even if I should find a demon here" Aegis said as Logan blet him in with a confused "D-did you just read my mind?"
"No need...it's written all over your face that you're willing to protect anyone here" Aegis said "there's a feeling here I like as well..."
"Are you another a Ghoul?" Logan asks as Aegis scowled slightly "No...I'm a demon" this left Logan in a state of shock, given that his entire attire says the exact opposite
Kurt decided that he and Spyke were to sneak up on the Demon but stopped when they swore he turned back to them with a glare without even moving.
"What was...that?" Spyke asks as Temujin replied "Even with better eyes than you...not a clue"
"Go to bed, don't let me catch you sneaking around here, Spyke" Logan caught his ear and sent him off
Aegis watched this and was suspicious as he stared at Temujin with narrow eyes as he asked "You seem good with humans and angels...for a Demon" he asks as Aegis decided not to respond much to it, replying "and you're very naïve but stronger that you look, for such a young Ghoul...I betrayed my kind to become an Angel...you have no inkling of the heave prices I had to pay to do such things, demons don't take kindly to betrayal and I lost everything as such, I don't fear anything...except..." he paused as if thinking about it as Temujin gave him his time to think until he asked a question of his own
"You must be related to those warrish Ghouls I fought prior to coming here, hm?" He gave a knowing look to Temujin who simply stared at him whispering "Father...?"
A/N - Now that Kami and Zaraki have found each other, who will be the victor between the two warring brothers and will Aegis kill Kurt, if and when he finds him...what will Azazel have to say about it as well? R&R and find out!
