"You're doing it again aren't you?!" Duncan stood in the middle of the desert facing his father,Belloc, King of the Kaiju."You can't just leave her! She's all we have dad!"
Belloc just stood with his back turned to his son. The wind was picking up that day in the desert sending dust everywhere. Though it was hard to see one another they could definitely hear and feel each other.
"I know what you're thinking and it's not her fault! She didn't ask to be bought in this world!" Duncan stood there almost in tears. He didn't understand his father and he didn't understand the situation he'd just gotten into. All he knew was that he was hurt,she was gone,and he now had a little sister.
"You left me for sixteen years dad,sixteen years and I still don't know why! Leaving her now because of mom won't do anything but,hurt her even more! Is that what you want to do?! Hurt an innocent child,your child because if you do then that truly makes you a monster!" Duncan shook his head before continuing,"Do you honestly have nothing to say to me?"
The wind seemed to pick up just as fast as the conversation was going. The sand was everywhere but,Duncan could see his father's eyes as they turned to see his face. They glowed like the embers of a fire."Time...is needed."
That's all Belloc said before continuing on his journey. Duncan watched as the shadow of his father faded into the distance. His mind,his body,his soul,was full of mixed emotions that couldn't be subdued. As the dust storm settled down Duncan fell to his knees. He closed his eyes and clenched the Earth beneath his palms before letting out a cry of sorrow.
~Later That Night~
"He's back!" Cried one of the nurses as Duncan walked into the infirmary of M.E.G.T.A.F with his head down.
Blitz walked up to him silent at first not knowing what to say. When he did know he simply said,"Everything will be ok." For the first time it sounded sincere and true. His words have little comfort but,it was the thought that counted.
"Where is she?" Duncan asked finally lifting his head up.
" has her in the lab."
Duncan give a thanks. All he cared about at the time was his sister. He walked into the lab he was first brought to as a baby and saw the doctor holding the bundle. There was a bottle in her hand and a not so cheerful look on her face. It was obvious that everyone was a little distraught at the bad news. When finally looked up and saw Duncan she cracked a small smile. Duncan walked over to the two who were in a chair. He hadn't even seen his sister's face yet.
"How is she doc?"
"She's alright Duncan. She's got perfect health."
"That's great."
Duncan looked at his little sister with curiosity. Her skin was orange and scaly like his but,she had her father's jet black hair. could see what he was doing and handed him his swaddled sibling. At first Duncan was scared to hold her. He was scared to drop her or even worse get emotional around her but,he held her anyways. He looked at her and saw himself a little. Someone with ten fingers and toes but,an odd complexion. He realized he now had someone he could be no different from. He went to put his finger in her tiny hands and when she grasped it to Duncan's surprise she opened her eyes. It was the first time she had ever opened them and Duncan could see his mom's green eyes. This made him happy and sad at the same time. She smiled at him and showed that she also had her dimples. It was a toothless smile but,it made Duncan smile too.
"I promise Scarlet I'll protect you. If no one else does I'll be here for you,ok?" The child just yawned and started to fall asleep. Duncan could help but,kiss her on the top of her head. Little did she know what the future had in store for her.
