"They let me pick, did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research. Watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. Like the others, you were strong and swift and brave. A natural leader. But you had something they didn't. Something no one saw... but me. Can you guess? Luck. Was I wrong?" – Cortana
Arc 1: unmei, Chapter 02: To be, what they want you to be.
(Insert music:Kuroko No Basket 2 -ZONE)
"All personnel to the main building!" a Man voice boom thought the speaker "We cannot let him escape the compound!"
More than a thousand foot solders ran the metal corridor with guns in hand, everyone single one of them order to kill whatever was inside the building. But every single one of them had a look of fear in their eyes, but what could they do? If they defied order, they would be branded a traitor and would be shot on the spot, but if the followed order…'THAT THING' would surely make quick of them.
He already killed half of this building men.
As the bursted into the main build, they were met with a scene that would make any man want to vomit.
Bodies where decapitated.
Blood was everywhere.
The sounds of the wounded men crying was in the air and standing in the middle of hell was a tall figure encased in black armour. He wore a semi-heavy black padded armour and a muscular body suit with a large collar and the traditional hakama present. His Matte Sliver hair was spiked, but some amount of hair fell to his neck. All armoured sections feature fully-functional dirty golden eyes with slit pupils.
He turned around and faced the newcomers, his mask was scratched with a Skull mask on.
"O-OPEN FIRE!" yelled the commander of the make-shift squad. Instantly a wave of bullets rushed pasted him as the all honed in on their target. The warrior stood still was the bullets got closer before making an impact with his armour.
The bullets Crumpled on impact as the fell to the ground, all other bullets flew past him and hit other objects around him.
Soon.
He started walking to them, before breaking out into a full blown run breaking the sound barrier before impaling his right arm into the first person chest, killing him instantly. Before the other had time to register what happened, he released him from his bloody attack and dropped him to the floor. The blood splatted across his mask before he faced his next kill.
From the Scream of bullets firing from the gun soon became screaming of Bloody murder, and within a few moments, the whole hall was covered in blood.
The Masked man withdrew his fist was a crushed skull of a solider, he stood up and looked around to see if there was any stragglers.
"….."
'Come in, Eclipse, do you read me?' out of nowhere a blue symbol appeared out of nowhere 'Respond!'
"…..I am here, Commander Clover." Eclipse spoke in a low tone "Hostiles have been limited and neutralized."
"Excellent work, There is no need to waste time here, we have retrieve the body that was stolen from our lab." Clover said in a hurry "Retrieve what is ours and return back to the lab."
"Understood Commander." The connection between the two was cut, and the masked warrior walked over the dead piles of bodies. The sound of Bones breaking and the moans of still breathing moaned in the room. But the man in black failed to break.
"My mission in Obsolete, those who stand in front of it will die." He spoke as in a response to the sound as they faded away.
The door blew wide open as the out stretched leg of Eclipse appeared behind it, lowering it again. He paused for a brief moment before walking inside, the sound of the safety lock of a gun met his ears as a Man when in his 40's appeared behind the table, and aimed.
This body was trembling from head to toe, it was evident from the way his gun was shaking. Sweat dripped out him like he came out of the shower.
"Stay back!" the man cried out defiance "Not another step closer!"
"…Foolish." Eclipse took another step towards the man. He pulled the trigger. The masked warrior side stepped it with ease, an impossible feat for a human. Screaming in terror, the man continued to shoot blindly and the black blur as it got closer to him.
Closer….
Closer…
And then.
"Guh!" his enclosed around the man's throat as he lifted him into the air "P-please…..spare me…I have a f-family."
"Irrelevant." Eclipse spoke in a cold, harsh tone "You have something that belongs to Infinity, the spy you sent to us, we made sure he never talks again" increasing the grip, he heard the old man gurgle and claw his way out of his iron-like grip. "Answer me: Where is the 'Package'?
"Y-you…Your making a huge mistake!" He cried "If we allow this body to be posed, the world will easily be destroyed!" His breath was getting shallow.
"…..Unwilling to give me the answer huh?" Eclipse spoke an in small tone as exhaled, suddenly all yellow eyes came to life and stared the man down "I'll get the information out by force then."
The old man stared back, as if transfixed before his eyes rolled to the back of his head before the taller man snapped his neck in half. "Both ways: your death was coming." Tossing his body like a rag doll, Eclipse headed towards his desk and opened the 3rd draw, a black card was present as he took his quickly and head outside to where the 'Package' was.
….
Swiping the card into the reader they became the green, slowly opening the man in black was shown numerous machines and working in tandem. And Standing in the middle was a Glass container. Inside it was a man body suspended in liquid. His Green hair waving wildly.
"It seems you found Kazuma Kuvaru." His fight Instincts kicked in as he eye'd the nearest weapon and spun around, pointed it at the enemy. "Really, that is how you treat someone, Nanto?"
"Observer…" Nanto looked at the blonde haired girl in surprise before regaining his composure "My mission is first priority, recovering Kuvaru came from the Commander himself" he took a step back before turned towards the man in the container.
"Is that how you talk to the princess, Vermin!?" Nanto knew that came from the umbrella-cat…Nago was it?
"Know your place, Child from nothing!" That was a Red pillow named Gil…..he thought
"Hmph!" the girl delivered a quick strike to those that talked. "Hold your tongue; I would talk to him, without my servants interfering!"
Nanto paused for a moment before casting a glance at her "Observer…why are you here?"
"Quick to the point I see" she sighed before looking at him "Nanto Ruzuzaki: You have a choice here."
"….." in the years that Nanto was alive, he knew that the Observer did not like to be interrupted, and despite all his years of training, this little girl would beat….no.
She would kill him with a snap of her finger, if she so pleased.
"Kazuma Kuvaru….he is nothing but a tool for something powerful, if you so choice to bring him back to Commander Relius, the result would be weighed on a world scale" She spoke slowly so that he would understand her. "At all the times I have appeared before you, I've have always given you a choice, this time: What is your answer?"
"….Why?" Nanto turn his full attention to the Observer "Why do you insist on pressing me for answer? I follow Relius because I is the one who gave me life."
"He is also the man, who put you through hellacious training and Countless augmentation to your body, or so he calls it: 'Experiments'" The girl casted a softer gaze on her face "Nanto, despite all that: your will yourself to keep moving forward, you looked death in the face and you overcame all that was thrown at you…but your mindset was changed. "
"…" Nanto "I have a reason to live, despite what how I was treated, it made my skin tough, my will strong: Commander Relius gave me a reason to live." Nanto turned around at headed towards the container "My answer is my Commander's: I will bring back Kuvaru back home."
"This that your final answer?" The girl commented "Nanto: Prepare your bed, and get ready to lie in it." Nanto could have sworn, she was saddened by his action, the face she was making in the reflection: was the look as sadness "Be prepared to take on the actions that are now set before you."
The girl gave one last look at him before entering a portal, leaving Nanto to himself and Kazuma. The man in black armour stared for a bit before looking back to the green haired man, looking for the console he pressed the 'release' button, the liquid draining out. Nanto broke the glass and hoisted the naked man onto his shoulders.
"Commander, the package is secured, mission complete." Nanto tapped his helmet.
"Good work, Black Eclipse" Relius said "An Airship is on your way, make sure the place is secured: Relius out."
"Copy and out."
Back then….I was blind.
What the Observer told me….i should have weight it more, somehow…she knew what was going to happen to me…to the Commander…and to Kazuma.
Everything I worked for…was gone in an instant. I wish I heeded her words back then.
The black beast…that monster that came out of the cauldron. It destroyed everything in its path, it killed the commander…it even took Kazuma somewhere.
Somehow: I survived the whole thing.
After it blew over…I walked away from it all…without a purpose….i started travelling around earth, taking on Assassination mission from whoever could pay me for it…soon I got infamous for my work.
I killed whatever the Client payed be for.
Noblemen.
Politics.
Prime ministers.
Presidents.
Women.
Children.
Infants.
Families.
Still-born.
You name something, High chances is I've killed it. I never felt a single amount of regret for anyone one I killed.
I continued being an assassin for god knows how long: I got stronger, better, and started learning about the real world…it was very different from what the commander told me.
This is how I stared…I guess this is where I will end it: Live by the sword, die by the sword. It was funny as well: the observer never came back after that.
But one thing never left me: To slay the black beast that killed the commander and everyone else. News of it appearing out of nowhere and vanishing peaked my curiosity.
Then one day….
Some Bar, 9th Hierarchical City of Akitsu-Kō, Earth
"Are you Death's son?" Nanto was quietly drinking at a small bar, with a thick cloak hanging over him, covering everything from the public eye.
'Death's son….fitting for someone like me huh?'
'Who asking, if you want a job done, I suggest paying me in advance." He grunted as he moved a mug of beer close to his face, tilting the mask up and drained the contents quickly before setting it down quietly.
"I'm not looking for a dirty assassination job, Child from nothing." Her voice grew cold, Nanto peered from the hood. "I'm here to recruit you."
This woman had long, bright, vibrant pink hair and bangs with contoured feathery strands that cover her left eye. She had yellow eyes. She wore a dark purple witch's hat and a Mage's Guild uniform, with the additions of a tied purple ribbon and cape, along with long black strap attached to her sleeves, long black curved leggings that reach to her mini skirt, and black slippers.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're Konoe A. Mercury, One of the 10 Wizard sages: only a few that can wield magic." She chuckled at his remark "What do I owe the pleasure of you to grace me with your presence?"
"I like I said: I'm here to recruit you." Konoe leaned forwarded "We're going to war with the black beast."
"….." The beast that killed everything I knew.
"Well?" Konoe asked again after hearing nothing, she started to get agitated "We can do this two ways: You join us, do your little thing and help us kill that son of a bitch, or get rid of Earth's Second biggest threat to date." Her yellow eye flashed dangerously "Your call."
"heheh…..Like you could kill me Wizard sage." Nanto stood up, making the pink haired woman get into her fighting stance, but the man only raised his hand out to her. "But…I want to assist you, I want to avenge everyone that was taken away from me."
The woman quickly brushed herself of "Wow, for a second I thought you were going to attack me there, the rumours are really true: you are intimidating." She gave a embarrassing chuckle and rubbed her head. "Here I thought it was going to a hard time."
"I may kill for money, but I do have standards." Nanto sighed as the two shook hands "I might as well give you my name: Nanto Ruzuzaki: Former-Member of the Boundary Research team.
"Konoe A. Mercury, Ten Wizard Sage: I can't say it's a pleasure to meet you..But welcome to the team" she paused for a second before her eye narrowed "You're not going to betray us right?"
"No." was his simple answer.
"Riiiggghhhht" she bit her inner cheek "But Welcome to the team, let's go meet the others."
"Right."
It was then…I taught what 'comrade', 'bonds' and 'Loyalty' really meant.
Hakumen-sensei: Our leader and my teacher: If I thought that the observer was the only one that could kill me, I though wrong: it seemed that he possessed the White Susanoo unit while I had the black unit. We both shared many traits.
Except for him kicking my ass on numerous occasions.
Jubei-dono: That one that guided me, taught me that what I was raised upon was nothing more than a false sense of a 'hero', that what I was doing what being nothing more than a puppet for the commander. Of course I was fired up at him…I nearly killed him if it wasn't for the others. I think of him as a older brother….i've had done a great deal of sin.
Konoe and Glassfille…. Let's say we had more of a sibling rivalry and….i had some feeling for Glassfille, though at the time I thought I was sick and stayed away from them, prompting a bit of a mishap with the group.
There was Hellsing-san….i still had many questions to ask me.
There was him…..the biggest regret of my life.
And Bloodedge….
I was a tool for someone, ready to be thrown away if I didn't complete it, but now: With the people I call 'comrades' we stood together and took on the black beast and prevailed.
Many lives were lost.
"Take care of Celica, will ya? Someone gotta protect her from herself….."
"I will."
But we won…for a small time: we had peace…
But I was soon to know: That was the calm before the storm.
Before i was tested for my worth.
Till Next time! See you then!
