Im Back. Sorry for my absence. Laptop had caught a virus. Finally got a new one. So lets finish where we left off. Enjoy.

"You are not a Darkstalker. Why are you here?" Donovan asked.

"I was brought here to be studied. Well, at least my machinery. I'm an engineer. The government found out about my technology somehow and I guess they learned by now my friend; Morrigan is a darkstalker. They brung Morrigan and I here along with my parents"

"What is your business with the Temptress of the dark?"

"Morrigan? I'm her boyfriend I guess you can say. I'm the king over the Makai realm"

"I see why she chose you. Your soul can be compared to that of a darkstalkers. The energy, the power within you; I sense is the source that she plans to merge with her own"

"Yeah, I knew-"

"DONOVAN!" Donovan and I looked towards the voice of a girl.

Anita was standing on top of one of the cages nearby. She leaped down and ran beside me.

"Anita, you've come back" I heard Donovan say.

Anita looked up at me. "Can you free him? The bonds holding him are too strong for me"

I looked at the little girl beside me. "Sure, I can try"

I walked over to the machine straining Donovan. There was a keyboard on one side.

Shit, like I'd know the passcode

I looked behind the machine and my eyes met a bundle of cords. I searched for one that looked important. My eyes noticed the thickest cord and I reached back to grab it. I pulled with all my strength.

"ARRGH!" I yelled as I pulled on the cord. I tugged with all my strength and finally, the cord broke loose from the machine. I lifted my head back and in the reflection on the wall in front of me, I seen a blue aura emitting from my body. Suddenly, I heard the machine shut down with a loud humming sound.

The binds holding on to Donovan released him and he fell to the floor with a loud thud. Anita ran to him.

Donovan groaned and rose to his feet. He looked down at his wrist. "They've ridden me of my sword"

I walked over to the two darkstalkers. "I saw your sword somewhere around here. I'll go grab it"

I jogged back through the aisles back towards the entrance. I spotted Donovans sword. I looked on the floor to scavenge for something to break the glass.

Nothing

I looked at my hand. I took a deep breath and clenched my fist. I punched through the glass and watched as the glass fell to the floor. I looked at the blood on my knuckles. Before my eyes, I watched in awe as the blood seeped right back into the wound. Then the skin grew back over the wound and my skin was back to normal.

"Holy shit" I mumbled.

I looked back at the sword before me. I grabbed it by the handle and tried to lift it but it was too heavy. I tried again and the sword mysteriously became lighter. I held the giant sword in my grip and turned around to see Donovan and Anita. The sword flew out of my hands and into the air. It flew towards the darkstalker and was now wielded in the hand of Donovan. He suddenly looked towards me. I watched as he launched the sword toward where I stood. I closed my eyes and crossed my arms to block the blow.

I felt a thud on the wall beside me. Something had shrieked.

I opened my eyes and looked to my right. On the wall, Donovans' sword impaled a darkstalker creature into the wall.

The sword magically exited the creatures back and flew back to meet the palm of Donovans hand.

…

The three of us exited the room and escaped the facility. We found ourselves on a long overpass. We ran down the long hall. Suddenly guards with heavy weapons and automatics cut us off at the end of the hall.

"There they are!" we heard one of the men say.

Donovan turned to me. "Go and get your family"

"What about you and-"

"GO!"

I looked at Anita and the guards up ahead. Just as the bullets started firing I jumped out the window of the overpass. I landed on the roof of the second facility. I looked around to make sure the coast was clear. I climbed a wall to get to a higher part of the roof. I snuck across the perimeter and spotted a window. I looked in. In the hallway, were two men in bulletproof vest walking down the hall. They suddenly stopped and one raised a hand to his earpiece. He looked at the other guard and said something. Then they took off down the hall. I hastily kicked in the glass and climbed through. I followed the guards as they approached a big metal door labeled Sector 3. I watched from around the corner as one of the guys took a card from within his pocket and held it in front of the panel. It scanned the card and the two men walked into the sector doors. I sprinted down the hall. Just as the doors were closing, I barely slid through. I heard gunshots and racket as I hid by a wall. I checked my surroundings before continuing to follow the guards. I hurried and rushed after them as the men turn down the hall.

…

I peeked around the corner. Up ahead I see a flash of green pass down the hall. I saw one of the men point at the figure. Just as they began to pursue, I ran down the hall. Just as one of the men turned around, I jumped off the wall and kicked the gun out of his hands. I sent an arm around the guys' neck and turned him around. I caught the automatic as it fell. The other guard turned around and readied his gun.

"Drop it" I stated as pointed the gun at him.

He hesitated before he kneeled down to place the gun on the floor.

"'At a boy" I said. I aimed at the guys head and pulled the trigger. The bullet went right through the mans skull. Then I put the gun to the head of my human shield. I pulled the trigger again but the gun jammed.

Shit!

I hurried and tossed the gun to the floor and snapped the guys' neck. He fell to the floor. I kneeled down and searched through his pockets. My hand grabbed a card I seen him hold earlier.

Jackpot

I continued down the hall to see my green haired girl defending herself from the other guards. She looked dead at me as she dropped a guy to the floor.

I guess she sensed my soul's presence or something.

She smiled and finished off the remaining the guards. I joined in and took care of the rest.

Morrigan walked up to me and wrapped her arms around me. "I'm so glad you're okay"

I kissed her. "I'm glad you are too"

"You're parents are here somewhere, I've searched most of the sectors. The only ones left are two and one"

"Alright, that means we're close. C'mon, this way"

…

Morrigan ran beside me as we approached the hall that I entered through earlier. We ran down a few halls ahead and now we were at Sector 1.

We approached the big metal door. I reached into my pocket and showed the panel the guards id.

The id was scanned and the doors opened. A couple hundred feet in front of us were my parents who were standing in a cell. The cell didn't have any bars. They were locked in by an orange shield. My dad and mom were standing. My mom had her face buried in my dads shoulder. She must be crying.

I bolted down the room towards them. I halted when out of nowhere, a fleet of guards blocked my way. They had their weapons aimed at me and my girl.

"ON THE GROUND!"

Morrigan caught up to me, and just as we were about to make our move, the ceiling closed in between us and the guards. I coughed from inhaling in the dust. The smoke cleared and in front of us, our eyes saw Donovan rising with Anita at his side.

"Donovan?" I heard Morrigan ask.

"It is I" he replied as he faced the guards.

Morrigan smiled.

We prepared ourselves for a fight to save my parents.

Donovans' sword floated from behind him and he wielded it in his hands in a fighting posture.

"The sin of slaughtering my own kind… This is my eternal karma" he looked at the guards. "Now DIE!"
