INTERMISSION 5
THE FLASHBACK OF WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SHADOW ASSASSINS.
LAST TIME
Mart was staring at the computer screen when the files on the Shadow Assassins came up. "What the hell?" she said. It was the file of the origins of the Shadow Assassins and the 'Demon' Project. "Now that brings back memories," she said to herself.
FLASHBACK
It was raining when the military men greeted Mart and the boys as they got off the plane. Reaching instinctively in back of her to get at her headphones she then remembered that her sister had her bag after the police confiscated it from her. Feeling lost she and the boys where lead out of the airport in cuffs to a waiting van. "What is going to happen to us?" Jimmy said and Justin shushed him. Mart was the only one not speaking as the car drove away from the Los Angels International Airport down the streets of L.A. to another facility in Nevada. It was then that the boys where really irritated and needed to use the bathroom same as Mart but they would not let till they reached there.
There was the ST. Rodriguez Military Research Facility it was there that they where taken and finally relieved of their current predicament. Having finished they where led to a room that had only one toilet a bed and nothing else in other words a cell. Thrown in they where greeted by darkness until a light was turned on. "What are we going to do now?" Jimmy asked again and Mart only stared at him, "I do not know Jimmy I do not know?" she said sighing, "What the fuck we did to get thrown into here," Charlie demanded, "I do not know what the military has planned for us but I know it is not good," Mart said and Charlie looked at the stocky, glasses wearing, short girl and began to rethink at what she said. "You said the Military what do you mean by that?" Charlie asked and the others stopped their bickering and turned to her, "It is simple when we came here I noticed the sigh as well as the uniforms. We are in some sort of facility that is supposed to be top secret. I have no idea where but I do have a clue at what state since I saw a map of it." She said, "Where are we Mart?" Steven asked, "We are in Nevada Steven thousands of miles away from home and with nowhere to go." She stated.
A dark figure stood in a looking glass observing the latest mistake as they killed it. It was a dog that was given the DNA that they found in those trees. Surprising enough the dog obeyed to a point until it went into its transformation then it attacked the humans that have kept it prisoner. "Kill it," Corporal Edwards said and the room was burned including the dog who screamed an unnatural cry when it threw its last throws before dying. The man smiled when he saw that and he knew that his superiors would be pleased to know that the project was somewhat successful but not good enough. "What is the status of our human subjects?" he said and a woman's voice filled the speaker, "Well sir most of our subjects have been subdued and proved to be ineffective against taking orders. In other words the DNA has inhibited their thinking making them only able to kill with a deadly bloodlust. They refused to take any orders from anyone and therefore proved to be unsafe for further usage and therefore had to be eradicated." She said and the man nodded, "What about our newly acquired subjects." He said, "In total we have one hundred and seventy seven people sir that are ready for the treatment." She said and the man nodded even though she could not see him. "Very well starting tomorrow I want those subjects taken to the labs and processed is that understood?" he said and the woman nodded, "Yes sir it will be done," and with that the speaker went dead.
The cell was leaking and full of moss due to a broken air conditioning pipe. The people who normally would have repaired such a thing would not come in here for fear of the kids escaping. "Man these guys sure are not stupid," said Justin as he and Jimmy where playing a game of Tic Tack Toe on the ground with nothing but the dust and a few rocks. Or should we say broken pieces of paint and cement. Were what the boys where playing when they decided to play the game to pass the time. Suddenly the lights went dark in the hallway and the man in charge walked down calling a lights out and so the boys along with Mart where force to sleep on the floor since there hardly was any bed for them and Mart refused to sleep on it even though they insisted.
The next morning was a rush since the soldiers decided to come in and take the boys to a new refuge. They left Mart to herself as she began to think of what might happen to her until her cell door opened to reveal a man in a uniform. "Is this the fifth subject?" he asked and another soldier nodded yes sir she is the one." Said the soldier, "Good take her to the lab with the others." He said and the man saluted and grabbed on to Mart who did not resist as he thought she would. They slowly dragged her down the halls to a laboratory with a table like the ones you see in horror movies. Mart began to get scared as she saw all the instruments hanging from the ceiling.
Slowly they put her into place and strapped her in. It was then that Mart began to struggle in her restraints. She was struggling so much that they had to try and sedate her. As the cubby overweighed girl was struggling for her life they slowly injected a needle into her system and it was then that something went wrong.
"Sir her adrenaline levels are rising!" one tech shouted as he typed in something in to the computers. Another tech was typing something else, "Transformation is occurring at a rapid rate she is uncontrollable!" another shouted as the glass shattered as a white furred form began to show then slowly one huge red eye began to appear in the looking glass. The pressure from the chamber was too much and the workers started to evacuate from the facility. Men and women ran as the chamber exploded to reveal the shape of a giant dog as it shook the debris off of itself. It had a crescent moon on its forehead and stripes in the back of its mouth that look like gills. One huge foot after another the dog took towards the humans as it opened its maw to show rows of huge teeth. The teeth showed a poison erupted from the saliva showering the ground. The ground began to melt under the dog as it growled at its captors and charged with fangs bared. Techs ran from the sight of the dog and it managed to kill several of its captors.
Not far off only one man stood and he smiled as he watched the events unfold, "At last I have an ultimate weapon," he said as he picked up the rosary and muttered a spell that captured the demon dog in its clutches. The necklace burned as it connected with the demon and held it in its grip. The demon struggled with all its might to break free and when it finally did it was subdued and the many men and women came to control the dog. The dog's drool was only enough to kill a lot of the employees but not all and those who where smart enough to stay out of the way of the flying drool where quickly beginning to be subdued by the miasma that rose from the poison. So they ran and gotten radiation suits and gas masks as they chained the dog. Struggling as she might Mart could not free herself and started snapping at the people who tried to contain her. "Get the others to subdue her," said the man as he had found it hard enough to contain the demon even with subjugation spells.
She became aware of her surroundings better as she struggled against the ones who tried to contain her. Smells where coming in at alarming rates as well as the sounds. She could hear the heart beats of her victims and rose to the cause of eating them alive. When she was about to eat them again she felt something smash into her side and the demon turn and another form slammed into her. Rising to her feet she was met with a fox and a tiger both made her very angry. 'How dare they,' she thought as she charged them and the demons charged again and she was also slammed by two others who came from behind. She turned again and saw a wolf and a hyena looking at her. Growling she attached them by slashing her claws violently and the four evaded her and attacked her again. Screaming in pain the demon was subdued until a man inserted something behind her ear and she felt herself being subdued into blackness.
"The subject has been subdued sir! Memory eradication and control device is in placed and awaiting your first orders," said a technician and Edwards smiled, "Excellent, have the dog do a few test runs after the tests on its physical characteristics." He said and the tech nodded turning away he walked down the hall to do his task.
Another shadow appeared behind Edwards, "So has the dog finally been subdued?" the shadow said and as he moved forward the familiar baboon pelt could be seen and the other figure shivered to reveal a handsome young man in his twenties with red eyes shinning like his master. "Yes master Naraku the dog demon has finally been subdued and awaiting your commands." He said and Naraku smiled, "Good these stupid Americans don't know what is coming to them and neither does the world. When I unleash these awesome creatures of destruction on them there will be nothing stopping me from getting my well deserved revenge on the world that cursed me to being in the ground." He said as he held out his hand to see veins popping out glowing red, "It is taking me a long time to heal after that bitch's attack on my body and also no matter how many demons I absorb I can't heal. That bitch cursed me to walk the earth like this and I will not remain like this for very long. I will be whole again and I will get my revenge on that bitch as well as the rest of the human race." He said and Kohaku smiled as he transformed back into his normal state.
It was months of research and tests later that the order went out from the United States Government to test out the new secret weapon. It so happens that the place of testing was in fact the kid's home town against the rulings of the United States government. The only problem though was that a certain demon resisted the mind and subjugation controls. It was then decided that she was to be put in another human's body for the sake of control. They managed to find a victim Lt. Lenora Alonzo of the United States Air Force to do the job.
At this moment she laid down on the table and next to her in a cage was the sleeping monster. Swallowing her fear down Lenora made herself ready for the injection of the monster. She thought this was all a ruse or a cruel joke that the military was conducting on the public. But as soon as the needle was injected Lenora could not help but feel herself drifting off into nothing. Not the thing you would feel when falling asleep no this was more when someone was daydreaming. She felt her mind drift off towards the dog as she sees herself floating above the crowd. Her breathing was steady as it floated and finally made connections with the dog. As soon as the dog and her connected she was attacked by something she had not felt before; images flashed through her mind then nothing. Opening her eyes Lenora saw the smiling face of a technician as they helped her up. "How are you feeling Lt.?" he asked and Lenora turned to him and suddenly caught a scent that she had never smelled before. It was both tantalizing and disgusting, "You need a bath and that cologne you are wearing is disgusting." She said and the techs laughed and the man smiled further. He walked over to a phone on the wall and slid a card in the side. "We have success the subject is experiencing an enhance in smell as well as vision and hearing from the looks of it." He said and he nodded to the person on the other side.
A FEW MONTHS LATER
Lenora could feel it in her it was happening recently but she could not control it another mind was in her and it wanted out more then anything. It fought her control as she willed the other so called 'creations' to kill the residents of this island and they at first refused but after a little restraint on her part she managed to get them to kill there victims and ate at their flesh. The fury at the back of her mind came at full force and Lt. Lenora could not hold it back any longer and went into a rage. She began to tear into the flesh of her superior officers that where there till one man subjugated her and she thanked him. Then it happened at full force this time and they watched as her eyes turned red and she began to grow into her dog form and then something fell out from the dog's body. It was the lifeless form of Lt. Lenora Alonzo her face held the look of pure horror on it before the dog went on a rampage around the island. It killed everyone with the help of the other demons as they consumed the flesh of humans and hungered for more. It was not till two days later that the monsters where subdued.
After Lt. Alonzo's attempt at trying to tame the demoness other women tried their luck as well but to no avail the military pronounced the demon code named Moro no Kimi (Named after the wolf god on Princess Mononoke that someone was watching in the lab) a very dangerous subject. The others where also given named based on their abilities according to the tests that they took and they proved to be more docile then Moro. Unlike Lt. Alonzo's attempt at controlling the beast the others did not last one day.
The day the slaughter began was the day that someone accidentally let out Moro instead of one of the other subjects because they read the sign wrong. For that reason that Moro broke out of her cell and eradicated everyone in the base and could not be subjugated and subdued. When she broke out her acidic drool melted the locks on the other cells freeing the other demons that killed off the rest of the stragglers. In the mists of the rampage the last of the soldier managed to retaliate and kill off most of the escaped demons all except five. Those five where the ones who where the friends of Moro before the transformation and they followed the dog like a pack leader. She attacked the rest of them killing them off that is until the sent an SOS out for help.
In his laboratory a lone scientist was working on perfecting a formula that he had been working on for years. That formula was a bunch of degenerative cells that he had mutated and reversed the process of degeneration. Instead of eating away tissue if they where combined with the DNA of a person suffering from defects the formula was suppose to recreate the misshapen appendage. But it has to be taken in small doses or else the syrup would eventually end up in caner. The way it works was simple the formula would change the DNA to that of a normal human and then die out leaving the victim looking natural as ever? That was what drew in the problems. It turns out that the person's DNA could be mutated as well. When the military heard about the formula they decided to use it for their own purposes such as research on improving their soldiers and making them stronger then before. The only problem is that the DNA they where using belonged to that of mythical monsters that where not suppose to exist in the world. That was what had the doctor worried. When he did the research he found to his horror that they where using demon DNA to improve soldiers only to have the go on rampages and later destroyed.
When the doctor found that out he destroyed the last of his formula and the means in which to make it then the government would stop making it. But he was wrong; it turns out that they found five innocent victims for their testing instead of the usual soldier volunteers. These where four children and one adult civilian. That angered the doctor and it was not surprising to him that the monsters got out and terrorized the military. What he did next was surmising enough for anyone.
The good doctor was not busy packing his things away as he listen to the news as reporters tell of people being massacred by these monsters. Beside him was his grandchild Ellie who at the age of 14 was subject to his formula. "Grandpa I hope you know what you are doing," she said as she watched him put away the bow and arrows that he had gotten from a friend in Japan as well as some strange things then he put them away. "I know that Ellie but I have to do this it was of my making so I have to undo what was done, and that is to contain these monsters before the entire world is bathed in blood." He said as he closed the suit case and made his reservations in Alaska where he knew the final confrontation was going to be.
"Where are they now?" a U.N. soldier cried as he and several others tried to get into contact with the nations that are still alive. "They are heading north sir," said another as he looked on to the satellite feed that was coming in at an alarming rate. "Good we can trap them in the ice." He said but then there was a transmission. "Sir it is Dr. Steward he said to call off all forces for he must do this on his own." The communications officer said and the person in charge stood up, "What the fuck is that idiot up to," he said and the officer only shrugged. "But I think we should trust him," said the communications officer, "He said he knows their weakness and is going to use it to seal them in the ice." He said and the man smiled well if this so called 'Doctor' is so sure then let him do it. We can watch him get eaten by those monsters." He said as he backed down.
It was storming by the time Steward made it to the frozen north and it was well into Winter the sea was frozen solid with no way to break it but he was not afraid and he knows that his plan will work. Holding out something that entices demons he began to lay his bait out and ready.
She was following the call for some time now waiting as the other caught up with her as she ran again. The only one really keeping up was the wolf, but she did not care she had to get to what ever it is that is calling to her. The land she noticed was getting colder and colder as she walked on frozen water. The snow was getting deeper and deeper as she worked her way into the forest the pups behind her as she climbed into mountains and out the other side.
When she reached the other side it was well into the night but she did not care for the darkness was her friend. Her night vision was excellent allowing her to see in shadows and pass by others without notice. She was getting closer now as she walked further into the snow. The smell was strong now and with each step it had gotten faster and faster for it could smell the essence of the thing that is driving her to it. The others only followed her for she is the pack leader but they too could smell it.
Stewards had set his traps and now where ready for the coming of the demons. As he stood on the highest rise the ice could give him he could make out a blurry form running along the ice towards him and he could see several others following. "That's it my dear come this way," he muttered to himself as he got out his bow and arrows. He had blessed them the way the Shinto priest at the Higurashi Shrine had told him so but it was the grandson who told him how to really bless them. Thankful to the boy he did his job and readied his arrows. Pulling back the string he waited for his chance at a shot at the same time had a camera behind him hidden in the ice. Another camera was filming from high above in space waiting for the moment when the doctor will strike. By making something give off waves similar to the Shikon Jewel the demon could not resist this.
She came in distance of the object of her desire a giant dog loomed and waited. She could sense it now as it came closer to the object for a chance to devour it. She then stopped as well sensing something her sensitive nose was held up high as if smelling something and turning around she looked at her companions and then sniffed the air again and caught the scent. It was that of a human the dog licked her lips in hopes of a snack. Walking cautiously towards the human her keen eyes could now make him out among the sea of white and she barked an order to the other demons who attacked.
Steward held his bow ready as they came and fired his crossbows that he had hidden in the ice. The arrows shot out and hit the demons in the chest sending them into a sleep leaving the most dangerous of the lot.
Moro no Kimi was no fool as she watched the others go down really fast and growled under her breath. She watched as the human held up his bow and fired one after another of arrows.
The dog demon only dodged the arrows as it charged the human how only leaped out of the way but was not fast enough to avoid her claws as it nicked him. By a nick only it was a deep gash in Stewards side as he held his side and watched the blood flow from it enticing the demon more. The gigantic dog tried to get closer only to meet the doctor's arrows again but it knows that the doctor is wounded and it waits. Slowly it circled the doctor jaws agape and acid coming down its maw melting ice as it approached the human weary of its arrows. Steward could see the intelligence in those eyes and knows that it will not fall for the same trick twice. He had to think of how to get that demon to fall for another one of his traps when he saw the acid melting the ice and that gave him an idea. Putting away the bow he ran to the demon shouting, "Hey Moro come and get me you big stupid mutt!" he cried and that angered the demon and she struck him but she missed as he was already running.
The dog was angry at that comment and chased him around the ice not noticing that the acid from its spit and the heavy banging of its weight was causing the ice to crack. The world watched as the doctor was being chased around by a dog in the Artic. He turned back and headed back towards the other demon when the dog managed to kick him again with its claws and he fell with blood coming from his behind. Rolling on the ground he left a bloody trail and was near a pool of water that came from the acid. Slowly rising he was thrown by the dog again into another pile of ice and he winced in pain. The demon took no chances as it charged the human with her fangs bared and ready to pounce. Steward knew that he had to get up and even though he could not move his leg he slowly rose till he sat up and saw the demon charge him ice breaking under its feet and Steward pulled out his bow and was surprised that it was not broken after all that and got his last arrow ready. 'I have to make this one count or we are all dead,' he thought as he pulled the string and waited.
Moro ran at him teeth bore that the human was still alive and being blinded by her rage she charged the human at full speed forgetting the arrow in his hand. When she neared close enough Steward let the arrow fly. The demon did not know what had hit her until the arrow hit her straight in the heart causing the demon to fall finally breaking the ice and her large form fell into the water. The cracks from that spread across the ice and the other bodies also sank beneath the waves. Steward knew that he was dead before it could hit him but he put his last words on tape and put that disk into a waterproof box and breathed his last.
The ice broke as far as a five mile radius as the five giants slowly sank to the bottom along with Steward's remains and the recording of his last fight and notes on what happened to create such monsters. The whole world that day cheered and celebrated the death of those demons code named 'Shadow Assassins," and began to rebuild what was loss.
500 YEARS LATTER A.C. 199
Heero Yuy was running as fast as he could down the halls of the Avengers headquarters firing shots at his pursuers as he raced to find his gundam. 'How could they have seen through my disguise?' he thought as he fired another volley of shots down the hall and heard the thuds of some of the men as he ran. He had come to the base in an undercover mission only to be discovered when one of the men smelled him and noticed that he smelled wrong. 'How could they smell me when humans don't have that capability,' he though as he turned another corner and managed to find the hanger. Shutting the door he turned to find himself face to face with soldiers armed to the teeth with guns and claws?
Mark Ellison was watching as the men caught the supposed 'Perfect Soldier' and dragged him to Ellison's office where no one could see him. Hidden in shadows Ellison brought fear to his comrades as well as mystery and awe. As he walked towards the prone figure and bent down to regard him, "Do you know who he is?" he said and one man nodded, "Yea I know him he is Preventer Heero Yuy also a former gundam pilot," he said and Ellison raised his head, "Gundam pilot? Now this is interesting," he said as he walked over to where the others where standing, "He would make a good candidate for Moro since we never tried a female before." He said and the men dragged his prone form out.
Persian blue eyes opened to the world as a solitary man found himself restrained on a steel table. Struggling with all his might he could not break free of the restraints nor can he move with all the monitors and tubes coming from his body. Looking up he could see the technicians ready to go. Looking around again his eyes opened wide to see a giant dog not far from him sleeping soundly with the same tubes as he. Struggling with all his might now he tried to make sure his monitors shown him as sleeping. "Ready to begin the merging of Gundam Pilot 01 to Moro no Kimi," said a tech over the comm. And Heero's eyes widened when he heard that name and struggled more only to find that it was no use. As they began the merge he cried in pain as he felt something pulling himself and the dog together.
Images flashed through his mind as well as a consciousness that was full of rage as it fought its restraints within. Heero had not felt something like this before even with all the torture that was going on with Dr. J he had not felt something like this. He saw images of another life flashing past him as he tried to stay awake but found that he could not and slowly slipped back into darkness again.
"Is the subject fully merged?" asked the tech and the man nodded, "Good I shall report to Mr. Ellison that it was successful." It was then that Ellison unleashed the new Moro no Kimi on the Earth Sphere.

It so happens that the place of testing was in fact the kid's home town against the rulings of the United States government. The only problem though was that a certain demon resisted the mind and subjugation controls. It was then decided that she was to be put in another human's body for the sake of control. They managed to find a victim Lt. Lenora Alonzo of the United States Air Force to do the job.
At this moment she laid down on the table and next to her in a cage was the sleeping monster. Swallowing her fear down Lenora made herself ready for the injection of the monster. She thought this was all a ruse or a cruel joke that the military was conducting on the public. But as soon as the needle was injected Lenora could not help but feel herself drifting off into nothing. Not the thing you would feel when falling asleep no this was more when someone was daydreaming. She felt her mind drift off towards the dog as she sees herself floating above the crowd. Her breathing was steady as it floated and finally made connections with the dog. As soon as the dog and her connected she was attacked by something she had not felt before; images flashed through her mind then nothing. Opening her eyes Lenora saw the smiling face of a technician as they helped her up. "How are you feeling Lt.?" he asked and Lenora turned to him and suddenly caught a scent that she had never smelled before. It was both tantalizing and disgusting, "You need a bath and that cologne you are wearing is disgusting." She said and the techs laughed and the man smiled further. He walked over to a phone on the wall and slid a card in the side. "We have success the subject is experiencing an enhance in smell as well as vision and hearing from the looks of it." He said and he nodded to the person on the other side.
A FEW MONTHS LATER
Lenora could feel it in her it was happening recently but she could not control it another mind was in her and it wanted out more then anything. It fought her control as she willed the other so called 'creations' to kill the residents of this island and they at first refused but after a little restraint on her part she managed to get them to kill there victims and ate at their flesh. The fury at the back of her mind came at full force and Lt. Lenora could not hold it back any longer and went into a rage. She began to tear into the flesh of her superior officers that where there till one man subjugated her and she thanked him. Then it happened at full force this time and they watched as her eyes turned red and she began to grow into her dog form and then something fell out from the dog's body. It was the lifeless form of Lt. Lenora Alonzo her face held the look of pure horror on it before the dog went on a rampage around the island. It killed everyone with the help of the other demons as they consumed the flesh of humans and hungered for more. It was not till two days later that the monsters where subdued.
After Lt. Alonzo's attempt at trying to tame the demoness other women tried their luck as well but to no avail the military pronounced the demon code named Moro no Kimi (Named after the wolf god on Princess Mononoke that someone was watching in the lab) a very dangerous subject. The others where also given named based on their abilities according to the tests that they took and they proved to be more docile then Moro. Unlike Lt. Alonzo's attempt at controlling the beast the others did not last one day.
The day the slaughter began was the day that someone accidentally let out Moro instead of one of the other subjects because they read the sign wrong. For that reason that Moro broke out of her cell and eradicated everyone in the base and could not be subjugated and subdued. When she broke out her acidic drool melted the locks on the other cells freeing the other demons that killed off the rest of the stragglers. In the mists of the rampage the last of the soldier managed to retaliate and kill off most of the escaped demons all except five. Those five where the ones who where the friends of Moro before the transformation and they followed the dog like a pack leader. She attacked the rest of them killing them off that is until the sent an SOS out for help.
In his laboratory a lone scientist was working on perfecting a formula that he had been working on for years. That formula was a bunch of degenerative cells that he had mutated and reversed the process of degeneration. Instead of eating away tissue if they where combined with the DNA of a person suffering from defects the formula was suppose to recreate the misshapen appendage. But it has to be taken in small doses or else the syrup would eventually end up in caner. The way it works was simple the formula would change the DNA to that of a normal human and then die out leaving the victim looking natural as ever? That was what drew in the problems. It turns out that the person's DNA could be mutated as well. When the military heard about the formula they decided to use it for their own purposes such as research on improving their soldiers and making them stronger then before. The only problem is that the DNA they where using belonged to that of mythical monsters that where not suppose to exist in the world. That was what had the doctor worried. When he did the research he found to his horror that they where using demon DNA to improve soldiers only to have the go on rampages and later destroyed.
When the doctor found that out he destroyed the last of his formula and the means in which to make it then the government would stop making it. But he was wrong; it turns out that they found five innocent victims for their testing instead of the usual soldier volunteers. These where four children and one adult civilian. That angered the doctor and it was not surprising to him that the monsters got out and terrorized the military. What he did next was surmising enough for anyone.
The good doctor was not busy packing his things away as he listen to the news as reporters tell of people being massacred by these monsters. Beside him was his grandchild Ellie who at the age of 14 was subject to his formula. "Grandpa I hope you know what you are doing," she said as she watched him put away the bow and arrows that he had gotten from a friend in Japan as well as some strange things then he put them away. "I know that Ellie but I have to do this it was of my making so I have to undo what was done, and that is to contain these monsters before the entire world is bathed in blood." He said as he closed the suit case and made his reservations in Alaska where he knew the final confrontation was going to be.
"Where are they now?" a U.N. soldier cried as he and several others tried to get into contact with the nations that are still alive. "They are heading north sir," said another as he looked on to the satellite feed that was coming in at an alarming rate. "Good we can trap them in the ice." He said but then there was a transmission. "Sir it is Dr. Steward he said to call off all forces for he must do this on his own." The communications officer said and the person in charge stood up, "What the fuck is that idiot up to," he said and the officer only shrugged. "But I think we should trust him," said the communications officer, "He said he knows their weakness and is going to use it to seal them in the ice." He said and the man smiled well if this so called 'Doctor' is so sure then let him do it. We can watch him get eaten by those monsters." He said as he backed down.
It was storming by the time Steward made it to the frozen north and it was well into Winter the sea was frozen solid with no way to break it but he was not afraid and he knows that his plan will work. Holding out something that entices demons he began to lay his bait out and ready.
She was following the call for some time now waiting as the other caught up with her as she ran again. The only one really keeping up was the wolf, but she did not care she had to get to what ever it is that is calling to her. The land she noticed was getting colder and colder as she walked on frozen water. The snow was getting deeper and deeper as she worked her way into the forest the pups behind her as she climbed into mountains and out the other side.
When she reached the other side it was well into the night but she did not care for the darkness was her friend. Her night vision was excellent allowing her to see in shadows and pass by others without notice. She was getting closer now as she walked further into the snow. The smell was strong now and with each step it had gotten faster and faster for it could smell the essence of the thing that is driving her to it. The others only followed her for she is the pack leader but they too could smell it.
Stewards had set his traps and now where ready for the coming of the demons. As he stood on the highest rise the ice could give him he could make out a blurry form running along the ice towards him and he could see several others following. "That's it my dear come this way," he muttered to himself as he got out his bow and arrows. He had blessed them the way the Shinto priest at the Higurashi Shrine had told him so but it was the grandson who told him how to really bless them. Thankful to the boy he did his job and readied his arrows. Pulling back the string he waited for his chance at a shot at the same time had a camera behind him hidden in the ice. Another camera was filming from high above in space waiting for the moment when the doctor will strike. By making something give off waves similar to the Shikon Jewel the demon could not resist this.
She came in distance of the object of her desire a giant dog loomed and waited. She could sense it now as it came closer to the object for a chance to devour it. She then stopped as well sensing something her sensitive nose was held up high as if smelling something and turning around she looked at her companions and then sniffed the air again and caught the scent. It was that of a human the dog licked her lips in hopes of a snack. Walking cautiously towards the human her keen eyes could now make him out among the sea of white and she barked an order to the other demons who attacked.
Steward held his bow ready as they came and fired his crossbows that he had hidden in the ice. The arrows shot out and hit the demons in the chest sending them into a sleep leaving the most dangerous of the lot.
Moro no Kimi was no fool as she watched the others go down really fast and growled under her breath. She watched as the human held up his bow and fired one after another of arrows.
The dog demon only dodged the arrows as it charged the human how only leaped out of the way but was not fast enough to avoid her claws as it nicked him. By a nick only it was a deep gash in Stewards side as he held his side and watched the blood flow from it enticing the demon more. The gigantic dog tried to get closer only to meet the doctor's arrows again but it knows that the doctor is wounded and it waits. Slowly it circled the doctor jaws agape and acid coming down its maw melting ice as it approached the human weary of its arrows. Steward could see the intelligence in those eyes and knows that it will not fall for the same trick twice. He had to think of how to get that demon to fall for another one of his traps when he saw the acid melting the ice and that gave him an idea. Putting away the bow he ran to the demon shouting, "Hey Moro come and get me you big stupid mutt!" he cried and that angered the demon and she struck him but she missed as he was already running.
The dog was angry at that comment and chased him around the ice not noticing that the acid from its spit and the heavy banging of its weight was causing the ice to crack. The world watched as the doctor was being chased around by a dog in the Artic. He turned back and headed back towards the other demon when the dog managed to kick him again with its claws and he fell with blood coming from his behind. Rolling on the ground he left a bloody trail and was near a pool of water that came from the acid. Slowly rising he was thrown by the dog again into another pile of ice and he winced in pain. The demon took no chances as it charged the human with her fangs bared and ready to pounce. Steward knew that he had to get up and even though he could not move his leg he slowly rose till he sat up and saw the demon charge him ice breaking under its feet and Steward pulled out his bow and was surprised that it was not broken after all that and got his last arrow ready. 'I have to make this one count or we are all dead,' he thought as he pulled the string and waited.
Moro ran at him teeth bore that the human was still alive and being blinded by her rage she charged the human at full speed forgetting the arrow in his hand. When she neared close enough Steward let the arrow fly. The demon did not know what had hit her until the arrow hit her straight in the heart causing the demon to fall finally breaking the ice and her large form fell into the water. The cracks from that spread across the ice and the other bodies also sank beneath the waves. Steward knew that he was dead before it could hit him but he put his last words on tape and put that disk into a waterproof box and breathed his last.
The ice broke as far as a five mile radius as the five giants slowly sank to the bottom along with Steward's remains and the recording of his last fight and notes on what happened to create such monsters. The whole world that day cheered and celebrated the death of those demons code named 'Shadow Assassins," and began to rebuild what was loss.
500 YEARS LATTER A.C. 199
Heero Yuy was running as fast as he could down the halls of the Avengers headquarters firing shots at his pursuers as he raced to find his gundam. 'How could they have seen through my disguise?' he thought as he fired another volley of shots down the hall and heard the thuds of some of the men as he ran. He had come to the base in an undercover mission only to be discovered when one of the men smelled him and noticed that he smelled wrong. 'How could they smell me when humans don't have that capability,' he though as he turned another corner and managed to find the hanger. Shutting the door he turned to find himself face to face with soldiers armed to the teeth with guns and claws?
Mark Ellison was watching as the men caught the supposed 'Perfect Soldier' and dragged him to Ellison's office where no one could see him. Hidden in shadows Ellison brought fear to his comrades as well as mystery and awe. As he walked towards the prone figure and bent down to regard him, "Do you know who he is?" he said and one man nodded, "Yea I know him he is Preventer Heero Yuy also a former gundam pilot," he said and Ellison raised his head, "Gundam pilot? Now this is interesting," he said as he walked over to where the others where standing, "He would make a good candidate for Moro since we never tried a female before." He said and the men dragged his prone form out.
Persian blue eyes opened to the world as a solitary man found himself restrained on a steel table. Struggling with all his might he could not break free of the restraints nor can he move with all the monitors and tubes coming from his body. Looking up he could see the technicians ready to go. Looking around again his eyes opened wide to see a giant dog not far from him sleeping soundly with the same tubes as he. Struggling with all his might now he tried to make sure his monitors shown him as sleeping. "Ready to begin the merging of Gundam Pilot 01 to Moro no Kimi," said a tech over the comm. And Heero's eyes widened when he heard that name and struggled more only to find that it was no use. As they began the merge he cried in pain as he felt something pulling himself and the dog together.
Images flashed through his mind as well as a consciousness that was full of rage as it fought its restraints within. Heero had not felt something like this before even with all the torture that was going on with Dr. J he had not felt something like this. He saw images of another life flashing past him as he tried to stay awake but found that he could not and slowly slipped back into darkness again.
"Is the subject fully merged?" asked the tech and the man nodded, "Good I shall report to Mr. Ellison that it was successful." It was then that Ellison unleashed the new Moro no Kimi on the Earth Sphere.
