LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 6
AN UNHOLY ALLIANCE AND REVELATION
EVENT: DISCOVERY OF THE CITADEL
TRACK: YOU CAN HEAR THE CRY OF THE PLANET (FFVII)
"My God! It's pouring like hell out here," I thought to myself.
I traversed the land beside the graveyard and stumbled upon the nearby citadel. This citadel, I realized, was the infamous Dark City Citadel; renowned to be the spot where human sacrifices were made to the unholy demon lord himself. Those times long since past, this structure now stood as a place of worship like so many other churches. I've always wanted to gaze at its structure. The black marble reflected even in the gray skies and it stood like a gargantuan monument against this world. Now that I've finally looked at this haunting structure, I felt it was time to relocate and move here.
I decided to step inside and rest for a little. I'm not much for taking breaks it's just that a battle with a stealth ninja and a vampire can really take it out of ya sometimes. I entered the gargantuan citadel and I was in awe of how large the chapel room was on the inside. All across the rooms, were depictions of supernatural beings, both holy and unholy. I marveled at the sight and it heartened me to see such expressions of good and evil.
I sat down in the back of the vacant Citadel and tried just to get a few moments of solitude. I really needed to think of what the hell has been happening to me. Remember that headache I told ya about? Well hear is basically where it started. I struggled in vain to see how the pieces fit together, how Kazuya would ultimately crush Heihachi and the Tekken-Shu and what role he had plotted for me and the rest of KMAS and why so many members of my own group were so anxious to keep me from assisting. As I pondered this the giant doors of the Citadel creaked opened, and a figure crept through the doors. He was kinda small and dressed in a full black cloak save for his blood red lining and the white bandanna on his head. His hair, though drenched with rain, stuck up in spikes. His hair was unique indeed, blackish purple and then pure white in the middle and finally dark in the center. He had only a sword bound to his side and as he passed me his eyes were shut as if he knew exactly where to go. He sat in the last row, in the column beside me and shook a little to dry himself off.

"Rotten day isn't it?" he spoke coldly without even looking at me.
"Yes" I answered.
"You have a lot on your mind I see".
"Yes".
"Well get used to it because this is only the beginning".
"What?"
"Your so concerned over what happened to you previously, wait until you see what's in store for you next".
"Who are you?"
"I am one who shares your thirst and your curse".
At that moment I sensed a burning rush of power and a soul almost as cold as mine. This man was clearly not human. No, he was something more.
"You are a demon, are you not?" I asked.
"I am, DevilKaz".
"You know me creature?"
"Better than you know yourself".
"I have no doubt of that. Then perhaps you can provide me answers".
"Perhaps I can. If you can answer me these questions".
"I have no times for games demon, I'm in hurry".
"You need not worry, we are heading for the same place".
"Oh great another freaky KMAS member. As if vampires and ninjas weren't enough, all I needed was a demon".
He laughed softly "You will really be taken back when you hear this. Tell me DevilKaz what has Heihachi been seeking all this time?"
"The Devil Gene. He's been for quite some time now".
"Yes. Now who do you know that has the Devil Gene?"
"Kazuya and his son Jin".
"Is that all?"
"Yes. Who else could possibly have it?"
"Hmph. You're looking at one".
"But that's impossible. You're not related to the Mishimas are you?"
"No. But did it not occur to you that Devil's power could've spread further then Kazuya?"
"But how?"
"Devil has had many ties in the past, sometimes he enters without even letting you know. He is a Devil after all. I hardly think he needs to ask for permission. If I remember correctly there are only four people, on this realm and alive anyway, who has the devil gene".
"Kazuya, Jin, you, but who else?"
The demon stared motionless at me and I knew instantly what he was trying to say.
"No. That can't be. I gain my demon powers from my sword". As I showed the Sparda sword to the demon he broke out in laughter.
"You fool, that sword merely enhances the possessors strength and capabilities. You have had the Devil within you all along".
"Is that then why I hunger for souls?"
"No, I think that comes from your being with the Soul Reaver".
"Wait! How did you know I had the Soul Reaver?"
"I am a demon DevilKaz. I can sense large amounts of souls, especially humans".
"Do you honestly think, for a moment I'll believe you?"
"Fine than cast down your Sparda sword and then see what happens".
I threw down the sword with anger, yet I was rather reluctant to test the demon's accusation. I simply held out my hand and attempted simply to shoot the floor with a small spark or something. But nothing happened.
"Well shrimp? What now"
He smiled...At that moment a burst of energy, 10x more powerful than I intended flew from my wrist and jutted into the floor in the form of red lightning. I stared at my hand, now clawed and black as brimstone and with veins red as hot lava. As I blinked to recover, my hand was back to human form.
"Tell me, was the appearance of that clawed hand similar to your overall demon form you assume when wielding the sword?"
"S-sorta" I said still in a bit of shock.
"You see? Your own form is trying to cancel out the transformation effect of the sword. Thus your true demon form has not been called upon yet. As for the sword, full transformation is given only tothose who don't have a second form".
"So…it's true then. And this is the reason I've been pursued?"
"We, DevilKaz".
"You too huh? So the other members think we will danger the mission and get caught".
"Thus providing Heihachi with what he needs for his experiments. Why did you think it was because of your banishment? Believe me it wasn't that".
"I see. I thought so myself. By the way are you here to stop me too? I must warn you the other two didn't fare very well".
"I could try. I may succeed. But I can sense your power. One wrong move and I'm worm chow. You possess powers none could hope to imagine. Heihachi could very well choose you instead of Kazuya or Jin for his Devil Gene experiments".
"So you won't fight me? Than what do you want?"
"I came simply to dry off and warn you of what is going on."
"That's not the only reason".
"No it's not. I've come to form an alliance, based on our common ground. If Heihachi truly seeks the Devil Gene, he will be after us both."
"But what can you offer to me? Why should I help you?"
"Speak up I can't hear you from here".
"WHAT?!" I saw that the demon was now on the other side, I mean the FAR side of the citadel.
"So speed is your game eh?"
"That..." the demon spoke as he quickly appeared before me.
"...And one more thing"
The demon outstretched his hands and fire erupted from them. But this was very unique indeed. In his left hand he held fire of natural color. But in his right hand the fire was in colors of black and grayish purple. The black seemed a hell of a lot more powerful than the fire in his left hand. As he did this I noticed a strange glow from beneath his bandanna. It was a hue of red and purple. But putting that aside I asked about his strange power.
"Could that be the Darkness Flame?"
"Yes. Those who seek the mastery of flame, seek this goal. To gain the power of the Darkness Flame."
"Impressive. Most impressive".
"Hmph. What would really be impressive is if I could master it completely".
"You mean you haven't mastered it yet?"
"Just forget about it" he sneered. "So what do you say DevilKaz. Will you consider the alliance?" He said as he extended his hand.
"Fine then. Just don't get in my way or you will suffer a fate worse than hell".
"Heh, heh, heh. Agreed".
As I shook his hand the dark flame wrapped around my arm. I answered by showing my power. Black and red lightning shot and it wrapped around his hand. After the "friendly" handshake, I realized that we were bound in a fragile alliance. And if I knew demons, alliances do not last very long. I went to collect my sword and said...
"So you know my name. So what's yours shrimp?"
"My name is....Mo".
"Mo the master of flame Hahahahahahaha!"
"Shut up!"
