Curiously killed a mindflayer?

Undisclosed dungeon

Royal Capital of Lesciate

"Let me go, you bitch. You will pay for this."

The man yelled in a dark room as he struggled to free himself. Unfortunately, he tied up his hands and legs to prevent him from escaping.

"Oh! What a shame… I am hoping we are getting along with both of us." A female spoke out before revealing herself to be Hilda.

Hilda caught the leader of a small militia group stationed in Alnwick Village and she interrogated him using her 'ability'.

"What are you doing?" The leader starts to tremble in fear as Hilda approaches him with

"Relax. It will be over in a second." Hilda replied with her malicious intention on him.

"NO! NO! NO! STAY AWAY FROM ME!" The leader screams fearfully as Hilda slowly approaches him.

Hilda ignored the leader's pleading. Her tentacles are ready to 'read' his memory and creeping slowly toward the leader's head. He feels uncomfortable feeling as he struggles to escape Hilda's tentacles but is powerless to resist her.

Slowly enough, her tentacles reached toward his ears and extracted his 'memory', causing the leader to have his eyes twitch uncontrollably, his body shaken and start to produce foam in his mouth.

Normally, Hilda implanted pleasure thoughts into her victim's head so he will become a 'slave' to him. However, it does not work for the NOD militants. Somehow, instead of being submissive, the victims instantly die after receiving it. Hilda was confused about it until she tested on three militants. The result was that all three militants died instantly after receiving her 'gift'.

This time, Hilda has to be careful and extract the leader's memory, hoping to reveal the secret of the NOD. Hilda slowly closes her eyes as she is ready to see inside the militant's memory.

Hilda's vision

Hilda found herself in the large auditorium. To be honest, it felt grim to her. It's surrounding is dark, sparing only three rows of dim lighting on the ceiling, shining to her right. Three black and red big banners bearing the NOD emblems on both sides. A big screen at the far end of the auditorium shows the same three words every second or two.

BROTHERHOOD!

UNITY!

PEACE!

She felt intimidated by the surrounding. To say the least: aggression. However, she is not alone. She is surrounded by militants but they were fully armoured, unlike the current militants who wore no armour. It may be due to budget restraints as Hilda thought. Hilda overheard some militants discuss among themselves.

"Dude… Why we are here?"

"Have you forgotten? This is a glory day for our brotherhood."

"Tell me about it."

"The commander Slavik captured the traitor, Hassam in Cario."

"No shit!"

"Even better, Slavik will be executing the traitor today. That is why the meeting will be held here."

"That's good enough for me. Heard a rumour that he is a GDI lackey. Did not like this asshole."

Slavik? Hassam? Cairo? GDI? What are those terms? Who are they? Hilda did not like it.

Hilda wished to listen to their conversation, however, she is interrupted by someone.

"Attention!"

All the militants immediately stop talking and stand still as they await for the commander to make a speech. Shortly afterwards, three men in black uniforms with the NOD emblem on their right chest and two militants enter the stage.

For the first time, Hilda sees Slavik take the center stage. He has a buzzsaw haircut. His body and physical appearance to be a brave soldier. From the look on his face, he looks fierce, committed and intimidating aura. Every militant applaud and cheer when Slavik arrived. It is no wonder he is a competent commander.

"BROTHERHOOD!"

"We are whole again." Slavik raised both of his arms while saying. His fist clenched while proudly saying.

"The sickness… has been come out!" Slavik put down his hand. He takes a knife out of his back pocket and raises his right hand, holding it tightly with the knife. Afterwards, he raises his left hand.

Two militants bring along the bald man, dressing in grey civilian clothes to the stage. Hilda think the bald man is Hassam as a few militants shouted 'TRAITOR!' in the background.

Slavik turned his attention to the traitor with his knife resting over at Hassam's neck. Hassam remains calm despite he is going to get killed.

"In the name of Kane." Slavik proudly said

"Kane lives in death." The militants shout in response.

"IN THE NAME OF KANE!"

"KANE LIVE IN DEATH!"

"IN THE NAME OF KANE!"

"KANE LIVE IN DEATH!"

"KANE LIVES!" All of a sudden, the bald man with a black goatee appears on the screen. Every militant shout even louder as they are overjoyed to see that man. Hassam is surprised to see that man as he looks at the screen in shock and fear.

The bald man turn toward Hassam and said the last thing.

"Rule of thumb, Hassam. You CAN'T KILL the Messiah."

Slavik immediately slit off Hassam's neck. Blood spilt on a single stroke of the knife. Hassam becomes weakened, blood dripping over his mouth before he collapses and lies dead. Hilda is shocked to see this gruesome execution. Slavik put his knife elsewhere and resume his pose again. The bald man smile as the traitor dies before he turns his attention to the crowd whom they shout: 'KANE!'.

"Rise up, my people. I have returned, never to leave your side again. GDI sought to destroy me but they have only to make me stronger. Today, we march forward to the future. A stronger people. A divine people. Enhanced with the Tiberium world. The time has come to claim the world as our own. The time has come to destroy GDI…" The bald man said his speech.

Every militant applauds to see the bald man's speech, raising their hand with fists clenched.

"ONE VISION! ONE PURPOSE!" The bald man said.

"TECHNOLOGY OF PEACE!" The militants respond.

"PEACE THROUGH POWER!" The bald man said again.

"PEACE THROUGH POWER!" The militants echoed and repeated the same three words. Later, Slavik joins them as well.

Hilda is terrified to see the Brotherhood of NOD as a big threat to the mamono world. She needs to warn her Dark Lord and attempt to leave the memory behind.

Unfortunately, she can't leave. Hilda is confused why she is still struck by the leader's memory until she hears someone call her.

"Oh my… what the rush, sister? Don't you want to stay a little… longer? Maybe eternally… to learn our culture."

Hilda turns around to see the same bald man talking to her.

"Who are you?" Hilda asked.

"Oh, you silly naive girl. Did you hear my followers call out my name? By now, you should realise who am I." The bald man chuckled and responded to Hilda's silly question. It won't take long for Hilda to realise it.

"Kane? What are you doing here? I thought it was just a memory." Hilda was shocked to see Kane personally talking to her.

"Is it? Like you have been to snooping on other followers' memory, just to learn the brotherhood's history and technology. I won't simply let you off so easily." Kane responds to Hilda.

"Who are you really? No human could do this… thing and you don't belong here." Hila felt unease about Kane's purpose.

"Really? While you try to snoop over our history, I take your body by force."

"WHAT!? That impossible!" Hilda couldn't believe it.

"Go and take a look at yourself." Kane pointed toward his left. Hilda didn't know what is going on but as she take a look, she realised something wrong and it is horrifying for her.

Hilda sees herself, being moved on her own.

"Well, what do you think? Do I look fabulous?" Hilda (Kane) said with her glee.

"What~" Hilda was shocked before she find Kane disappear in front of her.

"Happy staying. Our brotherhood will welcome you with open arms. Forever stuck in history." Hilda (Kane) said her final say before leaving.

Hilda (Kane) POV

Kane looks at Hilda's monstrous body. It is indeed… different from the human body but interesting and intriguing, to say the least.

"Hey, who are you? You are not my wife…" Someone spoke out. It turns out to be Hilda's husband as he has been turned into a squid-like creature in Hilda's… groin area.

Kane pitied these men who have been summited or forced to these abominations for their 'essence'. Fortunately, this mamono have interesting skill. Magic.

Kane calmly placed the 'husband' using the special magic to make him more obedient and it won't take long to make it happen.

"Yes, I will obey you, Kane…" Hilda's husband has been brainwashed.

"Good." Kane pleased.

As for the unknown militant who has been… brain-dead at the moment (along with Hilda's mind in it), Kane decided to leave him be and head out of the room. He has a plan for the mamonos in Lesciate, especially the Druella and Wilmarina. He slowly gives an evil smile.
