AWAKENING 4 THE CAGED WOLF
The base was cold and dark but that did not disturb this individual from his mission. Having knocked out and killed one of the guards he made his way towards the main control room. Long braid flowing behind him as he slowly made his way towards the control room. The uniform and the fake ID allowed him to pass the guards without notice all this individual did was change photos and hacked his way into the system and changed the ID as well.
The guards being human allowed him to pass. This spy had to be careful around the demons for they can smell a fake even if he killed them. Good thing for him he had some wards from a Native American. As he walked though he did not notice the figure behind him. That figure had on a uniform as well but he was not a fool his cold brown eyes followed the man till he reached the control room.
Duo Maxwell was on a mission and that mission was to find the rest of the Shadow Assassins Windstorm and Moro no Kimi. He just had received a message from Quatre saying that the rest of the group would arrive in a few days due to a storm that is raging outside. The high mountains of the Alaskan coast where all the cover Duo needed to park his gundam and find his way inside the building before he blew it up. Reaching the control room Duo found the computer he was looking for and took a disk from his pocket and insert it into the computer. He began to type away at the keys and hacked his way into the system. Little did he know that someone was sneaking up on him.
The person just appeared out of the shadows and hit Duo on the back of the head with the butt of his gun and watches the long haired man go down. "It looks like we have an intruder," the man said his voice was cold and emotionless. Reaching into his pocket he took out a cell and called for someone to get Duo to a cell. Kohaku smiled at his work, "Master Naraku should be pleased that we managed to get one of the gundam pilots." He said before turning away when the guards came to get Duo.
Duo had a headache when he awoke, "No sense in trying to get up human you will only make it worse," said a voice and Duo turned over to see who was speaking to him. A sharp pain to his head made him move more slowly as he turned over. When he turned and focused in the dim light he could make out a dark shadow in the corner. The shadow did not move but by the way he called him 'human' he could only assume that this person is a demon. "Why are you in here instead of out there with your comrades?" Duo said sarcastically to the black figure, "Shut up human those assholes are not my comrades," the voice hissed in anger at Duo. Now from the sound of the voice Duo could only assume that the voice belonged to a young boy but demons can be very old and yet look young. Feeling his headache subside he slowly got up.
Looking around the room he could barely make out the glowing eyes staring at him. "How long have you been in here?" he asked, "I do not know," the figure said, "I woke up in here that is all I can remember." Said the figure in the dark, "Who are you?" Duo asked, "Windstorm, I am called Windstorm but my I prefer if you call me by my real name Charlie." Said the figure, "Charlie alright I will call you that," replied Duo, "What is your name human?" "Duo, Duo Maxwell I may run and hide but I never tell a lie that is me in a nutshell." He said puffing his chest out, "Save the corny speeches for later," Charlie said and Duo deflated, "Hey kid watch that attitude of yours or I will have to spank you," he said, "Yea right," said Charlie, "I can kill you like how I killed everyone else on this planet." He said looking downcast and Duo saw the tears filled his eyes. I must have hit a sore spot," Duo thought as he neared Charlie.
He saw the boy's eyes widen when Duo hugged him, "Don't worry I am not gay," he said, "It is just that even demons need someone to hold to when they are going to cry," he said the Charlie stopped and glared when Duo let go of him. What Duo did not expect was to be shoved into the wall with such force that the wall shook and cracked some what. Coughing up blood Duo started shouting, "What the fuck was that for!" he shouted, "Do not touch me," Charlie growled and his eyes shown red, "Ok take it easy I just figured you could use some comfort that is all." Duo said with his hands waving when he felt the room suddenly grow cold. Calming down Charlie went to sit in the far corner of the cell. "Hey man do you want to talk about it." He said and the boy looked up at him. Duo got a better look at him since the light from the cell window is shining on him.
Charlie was wearing nothing but rags bloody rags. This of course made Duo worry until he saw that most of the blood was not his. The boy's face was indeed young looking like that of a twelve year old but he was covered in blood. His claws too where covered in blood and his mouth was full of it. No wonder he does not want me to touch him the boy is filthy! Duo thought and wondered why he not smelled the blood before. The boy gazed at him and Duo saw that indeed his eyes where golden and cat like just like the other Shadow Assassins. "What happened to you?" Duo asked, "Torture," the boy stated flatly, "Oh," Duo could only shudder at the torture that demons go through. "So Charlie I heard that you are a Shadow Assassin is that right?" Duo said sounding casual, "Yea the name told you everything what it to you?" he said rising and eyebrow at Duo. "Yea," replied Duo, "Well it won't be long till you will be fed," he said staring at the door and it was then that Duo shot up, "What do you mean be fed?" he asked, "Well since you are a human prisoner you will be fed to Moro no Kimi as her treat for having ravaged another city. They love to see the humans struggle when Moro consumes them in his human form." Charlie said with eyes downcast.
"Hey I am not the only one who was in this cell with you then?" Duo stated and Charlie nodded, "There where others but none like you for they where not willing enough to talk to me. They mostly cringed in fear when they see me." Charlie said swinging his tail which Duo now had a clear view of. "They usually stay in here till it is time to feed Moro who was recovering form his last attack and defeat. By feeding human flesh to the dog demon they can keep him under control. So by doing that the demon would be more responsive to commands." He stated, "You are not telling me everything Charlie," Duo stated, "Well I thought you knew that Moro was a female." He said and Duo had to think on that one when Charlie said 'him' every time, "What happened to Moro that made her a he?" Duo asked and Charlie inhaled, "Well since we got time I will tell you," and he began.
"It started when Moro woke up from her slumber like the rest of us. But she was the first since we where all lost for about two years. I was the second that did not get away. I just woke up when they caught me and threw me in here. To them I was of no use since I resisted the rosary's power and the mind control so they put me in here. I refused to eat human flesh so they starved me but I lived off the rats that came in here. But Moro was different she was so out of control that they put her in a human body." Duo was lost at this, "Human body?" he asked, "Yes but this is not the first time they did this," Charlie replied, "You mean it happened before?" Duo asked and Charlie's nod was the reply, "Mart was too out of control for her human hosts so they all died eventually from the mental stress. This last host I am surprised that he lasted for two years in that state. But I would figure it is due to the mind control. They managed to contain both Moro and the host for the host was out of control as well. I mean they could not control him as well and his mind was fighting Moro till they put her to sleep and did the same thing to him as they did to us 500 years ago." Charlie put it in a way that Duo could understand and he was shocked by all this, "So it is not one body that Moro has but two?" "Yes they made Moro a Hanyou a half breed by fusing her body with that of a human that way she is more controllable." He said and Duo had to think about this one.
The light suddenly shown in the room when the door opened and food was shoved in for Duo a lot of food. When Duo turned realizing that they are not feeding Charlie he saw how pale and thin the boy actually is. He was so thin that his bones and ribs where very audible. His face was sunken in and shows everything along the lines of bone and skin. The boy must be so weak that his body could no longer handle the pressure and he is starving to death. They must have done this to keep him quiet. But the answer remains that why don't they use him like how they used Moro?' Wait now I remember him mentioning that he refused to work with them and found a way around the mind control. Duo stared at his food there was so much of it that he don't know if he could finish it. "What are they doing feeding me this much?" he said to Charlie, "They want to fatten you up first I guess since you are too thin for them to feed to Moro." Charlie replied and was surprised that Duo offered him some food, "I think you should eat even though you don't eat human food anymore." Duo stated, "I will find a way that can get us both out and then you will be free to eat as you please," he said smiling and Charlie lifted an eyebrow, "You expect me to believe that?" he said, "Hey that was my mission to find both you and Moro and get you out," Duo said to Charlie, "Well sorry to say but 'Mission Failure," he said sarcastically, "I don't think so," Duo said, "What the fuck do you mean?" Charlie said, "Well the others should be here in a few days." He said and saw the boys face turn from a frown to one of complete surprise, "Really?" he asked, "Yea really it was all planned I was suppose to infiltrate the base and find you then get you out. Once that was done the others are going to come and destroy this place. But before I was caught I sent a signal telling them that plans have changed so to tell you the truth." he went, "The base will be blown unless we get out of here," Charlie finished for him. "Yea," was Duo's reply as he relaxed on the bed after finishing his meal.
"In recent events Alexander Kushranada was killed as of last night on L1 the prospect of murder is definite. The former leader of trade delegations to the ESUN's body was found this morning after firefighters calmed the flames. He was in the remains of his office his body too disfigured for anyone to see. As of now the Preventer Organization is trying there best to find out what exactly happened to Mr. Kushranada now back to you Guy." the reporter said as the Television went off and Une stared at the blank screen her face in a twist of anger and resentment towards recent events. "That was our lead in nailing that bastard." Sally said sitting on a chair, "I know that but I think that who ever did this to him, was planning it from the start; that we are not only dealing with someone who wants revenge but world power as well." Une replied as she sat down on her desk, "The events the past two years has brought also gave that conclusion," said a third person Dorothy Catalonia with her golden locks and grew violet eyes. "I have been watching the events myself and saw something like this happening." She said smugly, "With the events of monsters roaming the world it is not a wonder that demons have returned to the earth." said Relena as she sat in another seat listening to what is happening.
"Is there any happenings with the gundam pilots as of late?" Une asked, "All the rest are accounted for and Duo is captured in the Alaskan Wilderness." "I already notified Quatre he and the others are on their way there." Replied Une as she took a sip of her coffee. "We still haven't got the location of Heero yet but I did find the Wing Zero," stated Sally as she pulled a disk out of her pocket, "I got this from surveillance. They managed to detect the presence of gundanium in the building that Duo is being held in. Due to the snow storms it is impossible for an all out attack on the place. So Quatre suggested that a sneak attack would be suffice." Said Une as she drank more coffee, "Oh how is Marimaia by the way," Dorothy asked changing the subject as soon as everyone fell silent, "She is fine she just misses that fox demon though," she said smiling, "I think she has a little crush on the ten year old." And with that the girls laughed glad the mood had lighted a bit.
In the forests outside of the base something was lurking. The dark shadow of the creature moved as one with the trees. Its stripped fur moved as if it was one with the forest. The huge cat moved with such grace that if one where to see it they would be jealous. Behind the tiger moving somewhere to the right was a fox moving just as gracefully through the trees as if it belonged. Jimmy and Justin where the ones sent out to do the task since Steven was still recovering from wounds and his animal form was not one adapted to life in the deep forests.
The two moved as one as the forests cleared into a meadow before the structure of the base was shown. All around demons lurked the area scouting for any signs of danger. It was so secured in fact that they barely managed to get the scent of something familiar. Both pairs of eyes widened in fear as they raced back into the shadows of the forest.
"Are you sure you smelled Moro's scent?" Quatre said, "Yes that is definitely him alright along with Charlie." Said Jimmy as they resumed human forms. "Then we have to act fast if Moro is here," "We also smelled something else too," said Justin and all three gundam pilots paid attention to this, "We smelled death." they both said at once, "The smell of blood is great in the area of the base both human and demon as if there was a slaughter." And at this told truth both parties paled at the sight.
It has been several weeks and the snow storm was not lighting up one bit. Charlie continued to fatten up as Duo stayed the same and getting stronger at the same time. Both had agreed that Duo would eat his fill but also burn off the fat by exercising and Charlie would get healthy again. Duo knew that the snow storms are the reason why no one is coming to get him. Every time the guards check on Duo they found to their disappointment that he has not gotten fat not the least bit. Charlie on the other hand was getting stronger and stronger.
Kohaku did not like this one bit after talking to Master Naraku about the predicament both had agreed that they had this planned. "I grow impatient it is time to feed Moro get them both out. Master Naraku wants both of them dead since Windstorm refuses to cooperate he would die as well." he knew that beating the kid into submission did not work so they had to kill him.
The light in the cell became bright as the guards came in just when Duo was about to go to sleep, "Hey guys howsit doing ya!" he said cheerfully but was grabbed roughly by the collar as well as Charlie.
