The Rise of Yin and Yang
II Revelation
During their Flight to Bordaussie, Yin´s Pov:
As we left the sky over Pharaoh and headed towards Bordaussie, we had some time to rest, of course we kept the guns still pointed at the pilot and copilot, you never know what stupid things they might try otherwise.
It was wrong what we are doing here, as children of a Judge we knew that it was, but it was better than the alternative.
The Policemen in the back were luckily still unconscious and cuffed and thus did not made a ruckus, not that they needed to even make one, my mind was in turmoil either way.
As I sat there, gun still pointed at the Pilot, I had time to think about all what had happened ever since these powers broke out.
Same as my Brother did.
"You know Yin..., it´s kind of ironic..., this is so not like I imagined it to me, coming the case I would ever gain superpowers.
I always believed I would become a hero then, saving people with a reassuring smile, not a villain who threats other people and runs away once things go wrong." Yang explained to me in a whisper and in his voice, I could hear sorrow as well as frustration and confusion all at once.
"Well considering the fact that we neither gained these powers on our own volition and the fact that we were instantly shunned and hunted for them, the moment they awoke, it was but just a matter of time until we would be seen as such.
We barely understand these forces and we are far away from controlling them.
If anything, these forces were forced on us by a higher power, our life was saved but for what cost, our ordinary life has ignited within a blaze and all what is left is a pile of ashes, which stain our hands if we try and pick it back up." I explained and he nodded.
I thought about what else to say, how to say it that he does not despair about it, he might have been the older twin, but I was the more mature one, at least Dad and Mom always said so.
Still this situation was nothing I could just easily digest, neither could he…., but there was also no reason to sugarcoat anything.
"Of course, one each of the deaths we had caused by now, were indeed caused in acts of self-defense..., but with these powers, I doubt anyone will believe us, even when they have seen it on video.
We are seen as monsters, even by our own father…, it makes me wonder what Mother might have seen in us, if she was still alive….
Would she have seen the same or would she have had compassion for us…?
If we want to become heroes, than people first need to accept our existence at all…, however first we have to accept the same as well…., and believe me there are better things to accept, than the fact that in my chest beats the heart of one of the Mass-murders, who took us away our mother and destroyed most of our life.
As you know have those two, Nero and Blank, worked hard on making the entire Republic hate them.
We are loathed for something we haven´t done and something we never wanted to become, something out of our power..., but we have done things, which people do have a good reason to be mad at, even if we defended but our own lives.
Anyone out there only knows about things out of Context, so it is no wonder that they hate on us.
I wish they would listen to our story as well, but the way I know it, they won't and instead instantly throw us into prison, or worse into the lab for a thorough dissection.
Paranoid as our society is, this is not even an exaggerated suggestion." I replied.
"I hope you are wrong, dissection surely sounds like the worst of both options, I rather say they will execute us once they know where we are and have cornered us once more, this time for real.
Or we going to be thrown in a cell for the rest of our lives, never to seeing the light of day anymore." Yang whispered with a long-drawn sigh.
"Both options surely sound like things, which I would love to avoid." I mumbled and he nodded.
"So do I." he replied, breaking the whispering.
"So what are we supposed to do once we arrive in Bordaussie?" I asked.
"We will have to find Merveille Million, as I explained to you, she might know what is happening with us, she is rumored to be one of the smartest persons in the Republic after all, surely she can find a way to get these powers back out of us, or at least help us to contain them." Yang explained.
"You might be right but what makes you so sure that she would even help us at all, we are complete strangers to her, don´t you have any doubt?" I asked him.
"No, I´m not sure, not at all, but in my eyes it is better than the other option." He replied.
"And that would be what?" I asked.
"Trying to figure the extent of our powers out for ourselves, while being on the run…, what if we cause more damage that way, as when we would do it in a secured environment with supervision.
I understand one thing clearly Sister…, we are children who have found our father´s gun, unsure how to use it makes us more dangerous than everything else, especially when left alone and in the open." He stated and I looked in awe, he just described our situations better than I could ever do so.
"You sure are right with that." I stated.
"You kids…., do you have any idea what you currently are doing?" we heard a voice coming from next to us, it seemed as though one of the Police-men had reawakened.
"Trying to safe our life, keeping ourselves out of whatever you guys have planned for us, in short, we are fleeing, from you." I replied with a deadpanned expression.
"You honestly think you can flee forever, this Helicopter has GPS, no matter where you run and try to hide, we will find you!" the man stated with blazing eyes
"So, if we just leave this Helicopter midway, you guys won´t be able to find us anymore, good to know." Yang stated.
"Luckily we can float, maybe we even can fly, then we won´t need the Helicopter any longer." I stated and he nodded.
"Hey don´t you dare kill us too, unless you want to be shot down as soon as anyone finds you, I am sure that Pharaoh´s police station has already contacted the other islands.
Even if you reach Bordaussie or any other Island, you surely won´t get far, the whole Republic will be on the Hunt for you." The man explained.
"We do not plan to kill anyone ever again, however one thing is for sure, we know how to defend ourselves if we are attacked, so you better stay out of our way." Yang replied and I nodded.
"As if I would believe a bunch of murderers." He stated.
"Well look who´s talking, I bet you too shot criminals the one or other times and I doubt they all survived, so who gives you the right to call us murderers, when you aren´t any better." I stated.
"In contrast to you I have a Police-mark, I represent the Law and Order." The Man explained.
"Right you are…, but in contrast to you we do not kill on order, we didn´t meant to kill these guys at all, but we are also not going to let ourselves be killed off, for something we did not do.
And I would be damned if I would allow anyone to abuse or rape my sister.
We have gotten these powers…, out of whatever reason, and by now we only ever used them to defend ourselves, if we were out to kill people because we find glee in it, we three surely would not have this conversation right now." Yang stated and the Police-man gulped.
"There is a speech my grandfather used to say, `there is no monster born naturally, it is we, who give birth to them´." I stated and Yang nodded.
"It means that Beastkind is creating the monsters we all fear by itself, through hunting and ostracizing people they cannot understand, and other wild creatures who only live after their own instincts.
Maybe we have forces you fear, but if you do not attack us, then we won´t have to fight you back either…., if you hate on us, we surely won´t like you." Yang continued.
"There is truth in what they say, I guess." One of the pilots explained.
"You are silent!" The Police-man shouted at the Pilot.
"You are quite heated, I think it is time for you to cool down, sleep a round, that will do you good." I stated as Yang hit the man unconscious with a karate chop to the neck.
"How far is it still, until we arrive Bordaussie?" I asked the Pilot who gulped as he saw how the Policemen fell unconscious again.
"Only about 2 hours I would say, the Police-helicopters are the fastest of their kind." The Pilot explained.
"That is good, that means that we might be able to still catch Merveille Million, before she can leave Bordaussie, all we then have to do is to convince her to help us." Yang mumbled and I nodded before I looked out of the Window, over the vastness of the cloud-sea and the Sun which was setting slowly so slowly.
At Bordaussie, two Hours later, Merveille´s Pov:
"Phew finally done for the day, all what is left is to get back in our room, put the shoes and clothes off and relax for an hour or two in the bathtub with champagne and a good book, maybe even a massage afterwards." I thought as I walked alongside Beluga through the capital own, Schwarzwald, here at Bordaussie.
We just were done with the Gala-dinner at the townhall, after inaugurating the new ADMEREFA, the Advanced Medical Research Facility in town.
In contrast to Pharaoh was Bordaussie mostly left in peace from the destruction and havoc, wrecked by Nero and Blank.
We also had not much to be destroyed here either, even though we had a town wasn´t it big at all, just a few villages which had expanded over the years and then decided to combine their resources together, creating the Capital, Schwarzwald.
The Capital City, as well as the few Villages around it, had much luck compared to Pharaoh, which had suffered the most damage and causalities of all the attacked Islands in the Shepherd Republic.
Half a year had already passed ever since both, Nero and Blanck died in that Train-tunnel, at the hands of Red.
A fact which was both relief and grief in one for me.
I was relieved, as the both of them could no longer cause destruction and pile even more evil deeds on their back…, and in grief, because it made me realize just what could happen, when there was no mother to rightfully teach their children, if the father is a complete psychopath with god-complex.
Both Children were mine and as such I do hold much responsibility over their actions, especially now that Baion is no longer here to atone for them with me.
Not that I believe he would do so anyways, as coldhearted as he was.
Hybrids, they are unique in every right…, but maybe they are more necessary than we think, for evolutions sake.
There is so much we can learn form them, it is though a shame that there are only 6 of them alive anymore and that all 6 of them are living in hiding, even though I personally know 4 of them.
Well of course if I do not count the fact that I have no idea about the whereabouts of those other 2, Vermillion and Rouge, Hybrids I have yet to meet…, if they then have survived at all.
"You seem to be in thought honey…, what do you think about?" I was asked from the side, as I felt a smaller yet strong hand squeezing mine gently, the heat she radiated was quite comforting if I may say so.
"About Hybrids and their purpose in our world." I explained and Beluga Damiens looked at me with a curious expression.
"I see…, you not planning on creating even more of them, aren´t you?" He asked, vary of what my answer might be.
"I learned my lesson Beluga, Cetala was the last Hybrid I have given birth to, I swear…., and anyways do I deem them to be in a state, in which they are well capable of reproducing themselves, fairly well without my nor anyone's help." I explained.
"That thought still has time Merveille, they are still Children, let them live their lives before deciding for something like this." He stated in a clear voice.
"Of course, I would never dare to meddle into their love-life, but it would be interesting to see if they actually can create Hybrid-offspring, unfortunately we might not get to see a pureblood-hybrid, born from two Hybrids, as Red has Elh and I won´t force my Children into committing incest." I replied and he nodded vigorously.
"But still…., I wonder what would have happened if Blank and Nero would have never become evil, would they and Red, as well as Betakin, Alpharia and Cetala, have become one big family?" I wondered.
"Maybe, all we know is that we cannot change the past…, still..., if there would ever be children in need, blessed or cursed with such Powers, who don´t know why they have them or what to do with them, only that they are feared and ostracized for them, I would make it my mission to find and help them.
There has been a saying on Ragdoll in my family.
Demons aren´t always present, we are the ones to create them ourselves." Beluga explained and I nodded.
"I heard a similar one from my Grandfather once…., you know…, I am of the same believe.
I still think that if I had truly tried it, I could have been able to show Nero and Blank that the way Baion raised them was false, I could have given them the love they deserved to have.
If only I would have been able to awake my mother-feelings earlier, I could have saved them from the fate they had to suffer.
Maybe that is why I spoiled our children so much, back then as they were still so young.
Maybe it was my way to make sure they would not turn out like Blank and Nero, drunken on the power they held, but never knowing love, never understanding that the power they hold should not be used for their own benefit and to wreak havoc, just because they can.
I am certain, if I had come to know you earlier, we both could have convinced them, that using their power to suppress other people was wrong, terribly wrong." I stated and he gently pressed my hand as he forced me to look at him.
"Merveille, you are a good mother, let no one tell you otherwise for I know the truth, what happened with Nero and Blank was unfortunate and sorrowful, for sure, but ultimately you are the least one to blame on how they have turned out.
No one is born evil or good, we hold both sides within us, but it are the circumstances and the situations we are growing up in as well as our later decisions, which later on shape us to become either of both.
Maybe you are right, if you would have acted a little motherlier to them from the start on, they might not have been tempted to step over to the dark side which their Father showed them.
But I highly doubt that Baion would have allowed you to raise them with love anyways…., he needed weapons and tools without a subconscious, without scruple and a perspective in life other than the Order.
He needed hybrids for his plans, not children with feelings." Beluga explained, as he looked deep into my eyes.
"You did nothing wrong, nothing but giving birth to children in a place where love wasn´t allowed." He stated.
"You are a wonderful mother, our children can surely witness that Merveille, it was you who raised them, I did too but you were the one who spent the most time with them, who carried them in her belly for all that time before birth, you gave them love, comfort and joy at all times.
You have proven to be a good mother, after all you are the woman I fell in love with." He stated as he kissed my cheek, making me blush.
"You sure are right about that, my dear." I replied after a while of admiring him, overplaying the awkward scene, before I ruffled his hair.
"Merveille please don´t do that, this is embarrassing." He replied as he blushed deep red.
I had to chuckle about it though…, the height difference between us was devastating enough for his pride and walking around hand in hand didn´t make it any better, it might look for others as though I would go out with my little brother, not that I cared about any rumors or of any of other people´s assumptions, right now I was happier than ever.
"Hey, have you heard about what happened in Pharaoh, it just appeared in the news, those 2 bastards are back, you know…., the ones who ran havoc in our Republic just half a year ago, they have been sighted." I suddenly heard someone saying in a hushed voice.
"No way, you must be kidding, I thought they were gone for good, why now, why have they returned after half a year?" Another voice asked.
"No clue but apparently they managed to flee from the police in one of their helicopters kidnapping anyone inside, two men are already dead after encountering them." The first voice explained.
"Beluga did you heard that?" I asked the man at my side, who´s eyes were huge with disbelieve.
"This is impossible, we both know that Blank and Nero are dead…, do you think it are those other two, the ones who are still missing…, Vermillion and Rouge?" Beluga asked in shock.
"Hard to say…., for the general people they must be the same, regardless of how they look, but as you rightfully said, are Blank and Nero dead…, so it is quite possible that those two finally made their move." I explained.
"If so do you think it would be a good idea to inform the kids?" Beluga asked.
"I think we should first get ourselves a better picture, of what exactly goes on." I replied and he nodded.
"Look, they bring it in the news." I stated as we walked past a TV-shop in which the news were shown.
We entered the store to hear the sound and voices, if this was all true, we should not leave a crucial word being unheard by us.
"The Incident happened about two Hours ago, as a pair of Criminals escaped persecution by the Police of Pharaoh after murdering two people, on two different places the night before.
The suspects are known as Yin and Yang Libra, formerly the Children of Judge Gilmore Libra, one of the most famous Judges from Pharaoh.
In an Interview the Father of the Kids was unable to express his feelings or give a clear answer on why his Children have done such a terrible thing." The Commentator of the News-Channel stated as footage was shown of an alley.
Suddenly something came flying out of the same and the camera was rocked and tilted by a strong gust of wind or some invisible shockwave, until it showed the inside of the Alley.
Inside we could see two Persons using special powers, to defend themselves against two men, armed with knives and guns.
One was thrown into the wall by invisible forces, while the other one tried to shoot them, only to be dragged into a corner the same way.
One of the Persons was visibly Floating.
As the men were knocked out the Persons fled the scene, the Camera stopped just as their faces were clearly to see.
"Those are basically Kids, not older than ours." Beluga stated in awe.
"Yeah you are right, it is plain to see that they were attacked, its no wonder they would use their powers to escape such a situation, whether intuitive or unintended." I mumbled as I witnessed the next scene surely the same day.
The footage showed a dark-lit park, the Children were surrounded by a bunch of men, tried to flee only to be caught again, the boy was harshly beaten up, while some of those men attempted to rape the Girl.
It was then as the Boy stood back up, after nearly five minutes of lying there, most likely unconscious, while the girl fought harshly back.
The men attacked him but he simply punched them away, one of them into the trunk of a massive tree headfirst, most likely the second victim the News spoke of.
A glow of bluish Aura surrounded the boy, as he made the other men flee, then suddenly one of the Park-Guards arrived and took the boy down with a taser-gun, bringing him down to his knees, only for the Girl to attack the Guard instead, knocking the same unconscious, after recovering from what these bastards almost had done to her, to save her brother, from being multiple times shot with the taser by the Guard.
"It was not intentionally that they killed them, all they wanted was to defend each other, but they did it with powers they have no control over and no clue how to raise of turn down their intensity." I though as I looked at the face of the children, an expression of grief, inner torment and sorrow was easy to see.
And still the Media tries to make them look like loose cannons, even their own father isn´t on their side.
"I don´t know why or how they suddenly have gotten these powers, but I am most ashamed that my own Children are indeed responsible for those murders….., I beg of you, Yin, Yang, come back and face your punishment, just as upright members of the society should do so, when they have done something terrible.
What you have done is not something petty, it is a disastrous crime to take someone's life, the men who have attacked you have been caught and they too will face their trial, but you have to do so too, don´t make things worse than they already are…., come back, your mother wouldn´t have wanted her children to be chased like criminals.
I cannot remember to have raised you, to commit such violence." Gilmore Libra, Judge of Pharaoh explain, and his mine was one of well-played grief and sorrow.
"What a showoff." Beluga muttered and I could only nod to that.
"Those Kids need no persecution, they need professional help, someone to show them how to control their forces, to use them for the right thing instead.
They haven´t killed intentionally yet and it is better not to let it get that far." He stated and I nodded.
"You remember what we spoke about earlier, that if ever someone like Nero and Blank should come up, who hasn´t yet lost his/her heart, we would take it upon us to help him/her?" I asked and he nodded.
"We need to find them, find them and bring them in safe custody at the ranch…., if they meet Betakin and the others, they surely will be able to calm down and let us help them." He replied and I nodded, I had the exact same thought.
"But first we will have to find them, they can have vanished to god-knows-where." I mumbled as we made our way to the Harbor to get back to our Aircraft.
If we reach the Ranch, we might be able to find them over the Network of cameras in the Republic.
"We need to find them quickly, before they are getting cornered once more, the often they are forced to kill, the easier it gets to them to fall prey to the madness." Beluga stated as we rushed down the main-alley.
"Look over there." Suddenly we heard astounded voices, I looked to see several people look to the sky.
"What´s going on?" I mumbled as I looked up too.
"Beluga." I stated aloud as I halted him with a grip to his arm.
"What is wrong, what´s going on Merveille?" He stated before he saw my glance and looked up too.
Up there we could see how a helicopter chased two figures in the sky.
"They are flying, they really can fly, incredible…, those definitely are them, the Libra Twins." Beluga stated as he looked up with enhanced vision.
"They are chased towards the forest." I exclaimed as I broke in a run.
We needed to be there faster, but on foot it would at least last half an hour or even longer, to get to the forest behind the town, by that time, the Police might have already caught them.
"Isn't there a faster way?" I asked as I looked around.
"I got this Merveille." Beluga stated as he ran towards a man, who had just parked his Motorcycle and was about to walk away.
"Kurvaz General Beluga Damiens, I am in need of your assistance!" he stated aloud to the man, showing his mark, explaining to him, most likely a fake story of why we would need his Motorcycle, asap.
Surprisingly the man accepted and gave Beluga the keys.
"Merve, hurry up." He shouted as he tossed a Helmet over to me.
I opened the knot and let my hair loose, earning some amorous glances from some males, before putting on the helmet.
"Hold on tight!" He stated aloud, as he let the motorcycle roaring up like an angry beast.
"You got any idea how sexy you look with lose hair?" He asked and I blushed a little.
"Is that really relevant now?" I asked.
"No, I just wanted you to know." He replied with a cool smirk, making me blush even more and pressing myself a little tighter on him.
The ride towards the edge of the Town wasn´t long, maybe 15 minutes at most, but also because Beluga, although quite skillfully, drove like a madman trough the street, through alleys and even through pedestrian-zones, breaking more traffic-laws than necessary.
"Remind me that the next time you invite me to a ride on a motorcycle, that I drive that thing." I stated as I climbed off with wobbly knees.
"I seriously thought I was a goner." I thought as I calmed down my breathing.
"I can hear the Helicopter, they might be somewhere near the old Cemetery." Beluga explained uncaring, ignoring my angry glance at him for downplaying my problems.
"Then let us waste no more time, the faster we can find them, the faster we can assure that they neither hurt someone or that someone is hurting them." I stated as I strutted past him towards the forest.
"Let me go infront of you, just in case." He stated as his Nono-seal activated itself, staying on standby, ready to be used at any second.
"I guess you are right." I replied blushing a little, as I let him moving past me, while we followed a rural path into the forest up to the Cemetery.
There do had been some rumors of Criminal gangs hanging out around here, and the sun was already setting, it would not be the best of ideas to run headfirst into one of them.
"Huh…, it seems that the Helicopter is leaving the area…, but I still can feel their aura, they are still in here." Beluga stated after a while of walking, the Cemetery was deep within the forest on a clearing.
The edge of it was closed off by a huge wall and only two gates led inside, one on the path from the town and one from the village behind the forest, Elwood-village.
To be honest it was strange but a Cemetery always had a quite depressing atmosphere to it.
It wasn´t able to be scientifically explained, it was more a thing of the psyche of a person, cemetery equals death, death equals sorrow, sorrow equals depression.
However, I rarely found myself feeling insecure while being here, the last time I felt this way was perhaps after Grandpa and Grandma were buried.
But back then as well, Beluga was at my side, holding my hand while I cried in his shoulder.
"I´m kinda nervous." I muttered as we walked past several graves.
"Me too, I never liked Cemeteries much, they just kind of creep me out, all those dead bodies under the surface." Beluga stated and I saw how he blushed, I still remember how bad he was with horror movies and such stuff, the children often teased him with it.
After all it was one of the rare weaknesses their father had.
That and his inferiority complex due to his physical shape, Betakin and Alpharia almost managed to pass his height, which made him despairing, thinking that he would lose all authority over them this way.
He always got reminded of it when I petted his hair, looking at him from above…., although he says he doesn't like it, and although he never would admit it, he actually loved it to be caressed behind his ears…., not that I was any different there.
I felt how his hand touched mine and without a second thought I simply took it, making him flinch and blush deep red.
"T-thanks…" He mumbled as he looked aside.
"Who goes there?" Suddenly a loud voice asked.
"If you have come to get us, then you better turn back, we do not wish to hurt you." Another voice stated.
"Are you Yin and Yang Libra?" I asked aloud.
"Who want´s to know that, it is common sense to first introduce oneself before asking for names!" The voices replied.
"My name is Merveille Million and we do not wish to either capture you or fight, all we want to do is to speak with you." I explained.
"Who else is there?" The voice asked.
"I am Beluga Damiens, I am a Paladin and I am the Fiancée of Merveille…, as well as her guardian." Beluga stated and I saw, out of the corner of my eyes, how he blushed upon saying that, but he still held himself upright, with the aura of a warrior.
He still hadn´t asked me to marry him, out of the fear that I would be mocked by the public, for having a husband half the size of my own.
I hated the thought that he felt this way, I did not cared what the public says, I never did so before…, but out of respect for his feelings and those of my Children I just kept waiting, waiting for the day Beluga would embrace the idea of making it official.
I though hope that day comes soon.
"Have you any evidence that you are indeed Merveille and that this is no trap?" The voices asked us.
"I know that you are afraid, I know that you have gotten these powers without your consent and I am sorry for that, I never thought that Nero and Blank´s Forces would be able to be passed on to someone else.
I am partially responsible for your misery." I explained and suddenly we heard shuffling and movement, steps were coming closer.
Out of the Shadow of a Mausoleum I could see how two silhouettes emerged from the dark.
"Are you truly Merveille Million?" I was asked.
"Indeed I am, you must be the Libra Twins, aren´t you?" I asked and one of the silhouettes nodded, before they both stepped into the light.
Infront of us stood children, barely older than Betakin or Alpharia, 12 years old at most I would say.
A boy with dark-grey and white fur as well as white hair.
Both of his cheeks sported a triangular shaped spot of different fur, from the chin sharp up, in a deep blue color, similar to how Elh and Opera had it.
I do not know if it is a Genetic defect or not, for only a few people I know actually possess such a feature.
Then again, Blank had them in the exact same spot when he was alive, although he then did not possessed any fur.
The Girl which stepped next to the Boy, still vary of our presence, possessed blonde fur and Honey-blonde hair, the facial markings she possessed were on her forehead, as if they came from her ears down to her eyes, similar to Nero.
Other than these few similarities hadn´t they anything else in common, neither with Nero nor Blank, they looked like young innocent dizygotic Twins.
It was hard to believe that they had already Killed two men, although unwillingly and purely by accident.
If anything they were more afraid of us as we should probably be of them.
This gave us even more reason, to keep them from committing such a crime unintentionally, they had to understand to cherish life and only take it in the direst of moments and only as a final resort, when all other option fail and there is no other way to resolve a situation where they are forced to do so.
"Blank and Nero told us that we should find you." Yang Libra stated, to my surprise but even more so to Beluga´s.
"Blank and Nero…, told you…, but that is impossible, I saw their dead bodies, as we got them out of the destroyed Cassandra Cross, 6 months ago, there is no way they could have survived that, we proved that.
Are you really sure about it?" Beluga asked while Yin nodded.
"We did not saw them physically like we see you, maybe it was all in our mind, but Nero told me to trust in Merveille Million and in Red Savarin, but in no one else." The young girl explained in reluctance.
"I see…, tell me, how long do you have these forces..., when did they broke out the first time?" I asked them.
"Yesterday, as we were persecuted by that mob, they forced us to go into that Alley, Yin was unwell, sweating feverish, that's when they attacked.
At first I defended her with my martial-arts knowledge, but then that one guy draw a gun and aimed it at Yin.
He shot but before the Bullet nor I could reach my Sisters, some kind of Shockwave pushed us back and that guy out of the alley." Yang explained.
"Gravitational control, pulling and repelling, like both, Nero and Blank could use…, am I right in the assumption that it was the first time you floated Yin?" I asked and she nodded.
"So it is no born force." I though, as I remembered that both, Nero and blank were able to float even as Children and the assumption I had in the back of my head began to become to a concrete fact, step by step.
"What more can you tell us about your forces?" I asked.
"When those guys in the park attacked me, I suddenly could react super-fast, as if they moved in slow-motion, but I was unable to evade the taser of the Park Guard." Yang explained.
"Focusing and acceleration, you can focus on several people, read their possible motoric movements and physical signals, put the pieces of the puzzle together in milliseconds and evade physical attacks that way, making it look as if they move in slow-motion, or as if you predict their movements.
However you are not able to evade something, which moves faster than physically possible for you to evade.
A Taser projectile moves normally at a speed of 50m/s, a gun projectile far faster than that.
In that alley, you must have unconsciously erected a forcefield of electromagnetic energy around yourself and suddenly strengthen it, before the projectile left the gun.
Maybe you must have calculated the possible trajectory of the projectile by seeing the point to which the barrel was pointing.
It seems as if those forces you possess help you to enhance, under other things, your motoric as well as cognitive abilities to the max, forcing them to switch into overdrive, focusing it on one single moment, but it leaves you extremely exhausted because you still cannot truly bear the strain of that." I explained and I knew that everybody was lost already.
"I do not truly understand but I understand that these forces of us do not seem to surprise you as much as they should do, am I right?" Yang asked us with much curiosity.
"I know a few people who can use similar forces, Beluga for example can use the same forces and even more, not to mention my own Children do so as well." I explained and they looked at me with disbelieve.
"Blank and Nero were originally also my children, at least they were created out of my cells and those of their father, Baion." I explained and they gulped.
"So does that mean…, you are the one who unleashed them two on the world?" Yin asked.
"In a way yes, in a way no…, it is true that I artificially gave birth to them both, but I surely did not wanted them to turn out evil as they later on ended up.
That was all Baion´s fault, he only ever used them as weapons and tools for his plans.
My third Child, Red, was different, I gave personally birth to him, he was born, rather than being created, but he too was a hybrid.
However he luckily turned out to be the complete opposite of both Nero and Blank, his forces also did not showed for the longest of his life, only about 4 months before they attacked the Shepherd Republic, so almost a year ago.
Maybe he turned out because I actually treated him with something similar to Motherfeelings, until the moment I had to separate from him, in order to safe him from Baion's attempts of discarding himself of Red." I explained as we sat down on two benches which were located here on the Cemetery.
"He tried to get rid of him…, but the way you talk about him, he was barely an infant back then, am I right?" Yin asked and I nodded.
"it was one of the reasons why I left Baion and tried to stop his plans by burning down the Lab where we once researched together.
It is one of the grey spots of my past, the time I had there was not all bad, but in the end it turned out to be but a big fat lie.
I helped Red to escape the facility but I knew if Baion would find me, he would also kill Red without scruple, so I had to hide him, hat I died by giving him away into safer and more competent arms.
My 3 other Children, Betakin, Alpharia and Cetala are not Baion´s children but Beluga´s children and although they too have similar forces to Blank, Nero and Red, are they living a peaceful and normal life without fighting, until the moment comes where their forces are required.
If you decide to trust me and follow me, I will see that you can do so too, we will show you how to master your forces, how to fully control them, to use them for the benefit of the Society, rather than just for yourself.
It all depend on your own decision.
You can be either good like Red and my Children…, or you will end up like Blank and Nero, the choice is yours." I explained and they were quite taken aback.
"Why do we have these powers, where do they come from?" Yang asked us and I sighed.
"As I said before, I might be partially responsible for that, so it is also my duty to clean up your messes." I explained and they looked confused.
"Have you guys had any surgery lately?" I asked them bluntly.
"Indeed, we had…, our hearts and several other organs were transplanted, after a terrible accident almost killed us, that accident happened during the time that your Children ran havoc in Pharaoh, they killed our mother and almost us as well!" Yin stated in anger as she was reminded of it.
"We were trapped in a class room, gas filled the same, we though we would suffocate, every second was hell, and then as we heard voices we though that the rescue we begged for came, but those voices unleashed hell upon us, as the gas was ignited.
Several organs had to be replaced and we laid in coma for 2 months.
If we wouldn´t have gotten these hearts, we might have died." Yang explained and I nodded, the thought I had solidified itself to a rock-hard fact.
"The hearts and organs we had extracted from the bodies of Nero and Blank, had been used for transplantation on you and maybe on other patients, as they were accidently switched with the organs that actually were meant for the transplantation.
We wanted to keep the organs, to examine them and be able to find a clue about the forces of Hybrids.
By the time we came to that, we had to discover to our terror that the organs we had on the table were ordinary organs, of several patients that had died during the Incident as well but whose organs were still intact.
You cannot imagine how much I feared the consequences of that, I always wondered what might happen to the ones who had gotten the organs.
Unfortunately and also quite strangely, were there no records to who have gotten the hearts, so we could not find you earlier." I explained and Yang nodded.
"Most likely because father bought the hearts for a large sum, under the hand, to ensure that we were treated first before anyone else, we got most of the organs faster than others, if we have almost all of the organs from Blank and Nero, then it is no wonder that we have developed such powers." Yang stated and I nodded.
"Although we wanted to examine it, did we at S.I.T.K.A. hold onto the assumption and believe that the source of the forces the two possessed, lied most possibly in their hearts and that even after their death, a rest amount of these forces has still been contained within the organs and some memories might still be contained in their DNA, which would explain why you had that vision of Nero and Blank speaking to you.
You could say that pieces of their souls were still stuck in their hearts.
And these pieces, alongside with their powers, have gone over to you now." I explained.
"I see, so we got these forces but we weren´t born with them?" Yin asked after she had calmed down and I nodded.
"Indeed, that's why we need to teach you how to use them, as it aren´t your own, you will need to get a feeling for them, so that one day you will be able to willingly activate and deactivate them." Beluga explained.
"And where are we going to learn, are you going to put us in a cell, use us as guinea pigs?" Yin asked as she began to get angry again.
"We wouldn´t do such a thing, you will live with us on the ranch for the time being, together with us and our Children, as a family, we won´t do anything you don´t want to do or which isn´t necessary…., you have my word!" Beluga exclaimed loudly, in an authoritarian tone, as he grabbed the shoulder of them both, startling both Kids.
But not more than the sudden sound of rotor-blades, many rotor-blades.
"The police, they haven't given up yet, they must have brought reinforcements!" I stated aloud over the noise.
"You better decide now, either you trust us and let us help you or you will have to look for yourself, how to deal with the witch-hunt which the Media has let loose, soon everybody will be after you, for sure!" Beluga explained loudly.
"If you decide to fight anyone that tries to get you and if you resort to killing people for your own safety and wellbeing, then there will be no other choice left to us but to take you guys down and indeed imprison you.
Don´t become the monsters they see in you, if you do that you will be able to live a peaceful life." Beluga explained
"I don´t want to become a monster." Yin whined as she grabbed the arm of her Brother.
"You aren´t monsters, Nero and Blank weren´t monsters either, even when the whole world would see them as such.
All they had was a false education by Baion, they didn´t knew it better, all their life they were taught that they were better, superior to us normal Caninu´s and Felinekos, instead of Co-existence did they only learned from Baion, that we were to be exterminated by them.
It is always a matter of education and how to be raised…, no child that is born in this world is either bad or good, a child needs a boundary, to grow up righteously, if he/she hasn't that, the child will end up uncaring for the world and other people.
If a child lacks empathy and compassion for other people, they will end up as easily persuaded to do the wrong thing, by someone who manipulates them and uses them only as a tool.
Even if they have done bad things, won´t I ever say that I regret to have created them, they were brought to life for a reason, and that is all that counts." I explained as I stepped over to them and past them, walking towards the Mausoleum behind them, entering the empty hall, in whose walls the coffins of the Million-family were stuck within.
There was a Grave which had no name but it well had a content.
"After their organs were taken, they were secretly cremated and buried in this grave, every month since their death I come and tell them what has changed ever since they died, I tell them about the Shepherd Republic, how the same still survived and build itself back up again, the world they thought to have to end, was still remaining, going on as it always had.
I know, thanks to Red, that in the end they felt remorse for their actions.
Their last thoughts and words had been saved in the Matrix of the Cassandra Cross, which I used to combine with Red´s Dahak, to create the Septentrion.
Apparently, he saw and heard them a last time, after his fight with Baion, as the same was swallowed up by Tartaros, after his defeat.
Monsters without scruple do not feel any remorse.
Nero and Blank were like two children who had found a shotgun but weren´t sure how to use it.
One parent was not there to keep them from playing with it, and the other parent couldn´t care less about it, looking away from it.
I swore not to make the same mistake twice." I stated as I looked at them, after I walked back out of the Mausoleum.
"Both of you, come with us, Yin and Yang Libra, and we will make sure that your life, the one you knew and wanted to live on, will somehow continue, maybe you cannot see your home, your father and Friends anymore, but we will see to let you live a normal life. " I stated as I held out my hands.
It lasted a while but eventually they took both of my hands.
"Merveille we need to get out of here!" Beluga stated as the noise of the Helicopters was ear-deafening.
"I already contacted the White Whale, they send us a cruiser which takes us to the Ranch, they should be here in a while, we need to get back towards the town." He explained and I nodded.
"Follow us, we need to keep moving, or else they catch us.
Use this." I stated as I gave them the Helmets we wore earlier.
Together we made our way out of the Forest.
We hid within the bushes as the Helicopter flew over us, searching in the area.
It lasted until dusk before we arrived back in town.
The cruiser was waiting for us at the Harbor.
"Eh…, aren´t we taking it?" Yang asked us as we walked past the Harbor instead.
"They might search at the harbor as well, we only asked for a Cruiser we never said that we would also fly back home today.
No we fly home in another machine, I have an old friend who can surely help us, he still owes me a favor or two." I stated as we walked up to a trailer, near the old junkyard of the town.
"Cacao, are you there?" I asked as I hammered on the door.
"Coming!" a voice shouted from inside.
"Have you folks any idea how late it is, can a proper guy not even chill infront of the TV after a hard day of work and enjoy a cold beer…., oh it´s you, what brings you here?" The Unkempt man who literally ripped the door out of the frame asked us, well more, yelled at us.
"Nice to see you too Cacao, I am in need of your assistance…, again." I stated as my eyes wandered to the small Aircraft that stood on the Junkyard.
"I see, the young Lady has to get barely past the law again, well if it takes off one of the favors I still owe you, I am all in for it." So what will it be this time, do you need some parts of illegal technology, or some kind of manuals and construction plans or a getaway-ticket?" The man with the toothy grin asked.
"We would like to use one of the getaway tickets today." I explained and he nodded.
"Well then, come on in, there has to be a good reason you guys need to get away, Old Man Cacao knows when to keep his mouth shut about things, you can trust me." Cacao stated as we walked into the Trailer.
"You sure we can trust that guy…, and what does he mean with illegal technology, Merveille?" beluga asked me in suspicion.
"We can and sometimes even I need more power in my machines than legally allowed, especially when I need to get some results done….
Don´t look at me that way, what did you expect, that your Salamander runs all according legal standards, of course not, if it would you would be dead by now." I exclaimed a si looked aside from his accusing glance.
I was a researcher, a technician, I use anything I can use, if available to me.
"How do you even know that guy?" he asked.
"Quebec Introduced me to him, apparently they once were in the same team together, before the Kurvaz was truly established, apparently he was a Air-Racing-star once, but that's already a couple of years ago." I explained.
"And how come he owes you some favors?" Beluga asked.
"Because I helped him solve a case from his past, to restore his honor, that was early after I entered the Kurvaz, maybe you remind yourself, Quebec asked me if I might help him with a client, who believed that someone was after his life, after his Machine malfunctioned and crash-landed, almost killing him, that was Cacao.
I managed to find out that the Machine he once flew in his last race had indeed been manipulated.
The Racing team went bankrupt because of other evidences of corruption and illegal businesses, ever since he owes me." I explained and he nodded.
"So how´s Quebec, haven´t seen that old lad in ages, he should visit good old Cacao Grenouille more often, it slowly but steadily gets lonely here, so all alone." The old man explained.
"Ever thought of hiring someone?" I asked as I looked around, a nice place was it definitely not but I had seen worse.
"Too much hassle with the last one I had here, couldn´t do a thing but wanted the same salary like one who actually does work, I threw him out after barely a week.
I tell you there is no depending on those youngsters nowadays, now Betakin, that young boy is someone who I would like to pay, he sure has a good head on his shoulder, he is smart and interested just the kind of man I search for." Cacao explained.
"Maybe but I told you my thoughts already., anyways, about that getaway." I replied and he waved off.
"Sure thing, well then, come on, lets hurry I wanna be back, before the Shield closes." He stated and so we walked out o the Trailer over to the tiny Aircraft.
"Where to?" Cacao asked.
"The Million Ranch, East Bordaussie, behind Elwood, secluded Island." I explained and he nodded to himself as he started the motors.
"Got it, well then, buckle up, this old Lady hasn´t fly in quite a while." Cacao stated as the engine stuttered, before it came to live.
"Well then, up, up and away." He shouted with a sheepish smile before the small Airship, the Albatross, took off the ground, floating slowly but steadily upwards, away from the Junkyard.
"So who are you friends with the helmet?" Cacao asked bt I kept me mouth shut, same as the others.
" Ah I see, the less I know the better for me, guess that is the best way to live and survive in this world." He stated uncaring, not offended at all, laughing it off as unimportant.
"Thanks for not digging." I replied and he blinked at me.
"You can count on me, I keep my mouth shut." He stated with that toothy grin of his, as the Aircraft lifted up in the air and made its way over the town in the dark of the night.
No Helicopter nor a patrol-ship was in sight, as the Albatross cut through the wind, heading east.
