Sun Wukong / Vacuo / Years Ago
Making friends was always an easy task for a looker like Sun Wukong. He had been considered an image of perfection ever since he was young. He was fast, agile, and fit. His athleticism wasn't the only thing that he could boast about as Sun was also intelligent. Though, this aspect of his was often overlooked by his peers. All they could care about was his look and his personality, to which most could say he was a laid-back jokester.
Growing up for Sun too, was easy. His parents were fairly lenient as they were a proud duo, their son was perfect in every which way.
It was simple enough to say that Sun himself had plenty of friends too.
When he hit middle school, well that's when everything had changed. For the first time in his life he seemed to have competition. This isn't what bothered Sun at all, what bothered Sun is the fact that the 'competition' actually made it into a competition. At least, that was what he got from the atmosphere of the middle school.
For some odd reason, Sun took this new challenge to heart. Middle school was about who was the best after all, right?
His competitor was a spunky-sauve blue-haired kid who had transferred from a different schooling district. His physique was similar to Sun's own body, though let's be real here - Sun was definitely the most fit out of the two. The only difference was the the blue-haired kid was slightly taller.
All his life Sun was #1. Now he couldn't let this go, he couldn't let this newcomer take his spotlight. The new kid even had some dorky name. Neptune Vasilias was his name. More often than not when speaking about the kid, Sun would mess up his last name. It was hard to say if it was on purpose or not.
They hadn't really shared any of the same classes, so it was hard to gauge how good the guy was around the ladies. The only class they had actually shared was gym class. A true arena for the two faux-Gods.
Their first incident had occurred in gym class. It was a classic game of dodgeball. The two had been picked as team captains. Luckily, this wasn't a co-ed class so the two were going to be as rough as ever.
The two picked their teammates from an array of guys. Sun had gotten stuck with one of the scrawny kids named Scarlet. Though, the Scarlet kid wasn't bad at all, he was at times really awkward and dumb. (Though, it was hard to tell if this was intentional by the red-haired kid.) While, Neptune had gotten one of the brutes in the gym class, Sage. He was a quiet boy, but he was slightly taller than Neptune was which made Sage an intimidating factor.
The rules of the dodgeball game where like any other. A team of 5. If you're hit, you're out. Don't cross the midline. If you catch the ball, you can bring one of your teammates back in. At least more than 3 balls were in play the whole time.
In total, there were four separate teams. Suns team, Neptunes team and two other teams who would easily get eliminated from the competition. Up first was Sun teams versus one of the other teams. Their captain was a brunette boy, with average features. Sun sized up him and the rest of the boy's teammates. This would be an easy win.
The two teams lined up against the wall, while the other two teams sat on the bleachers watching their two opponents. Sun looked over at his nemesis. The two locked eyes, and Neptune smirked at him. He mouthed the words 'don't choke.' to him and winked.
Sun quickly looked away. How dare he look so good on the sidelines! How dare he imply that Sun would ever choke against anything so miniscule! Just look at his opponent...so plain!
Within almost an instant the whistle blew for the match to begin. All of the boys on each team had sprinted towards the center where the balls had laid. Sun managed to grab one ball, toss it back and grab one for himself. One of the opponents had immediately picked up a ball to throw it at him, but Sun was quicker than that. The ball came flying fast towards his torso, but he managed to spin as the ball now flew passed him. He looked at the kid who threw it at him and grinned as he released his own ball he was holding. He hit the kid straight in the gut. Who keeled over in pain, then quickly got up to see himself off the battlefield.
The game was underway. It was a best two out of three. The winner of this would be facing whichever group won that was sitting on the bench. To Sun's surprise, as derpy as the Scarlet was he was pretty good at dodgeball as he and Sun were always the last one standing against the other kids group.
The game soon ended as there was a clean-sheet win for Sun's team. They had won every game. It was their turn to take a break and watch Neptune and Sage.
Before leaving the court, Sun and Neptune came face to face with one another.
"Bet you've never seen balls handled like that before!" Sun smirked, remaining completely innocent in his words. Sun, was also lucky that no one but Neptune had heard him as his word choice was fairly poor in this situation.
Neptune responded with a small amount of laughter mixed with him trying to choke it down. Though, Neptune responded in the kind, "I'll show you how a REAL man handles balls."
The two now clashed foreheads, sneering and pushing at each other. Although their display of 'manliness' was a less impressive display towards the gym coach who knocked their heads together and told them to "knock it off"
The two clutched at their heads, trying to let the pain subside as they made their way to respective places. Neptune made his way to the court, while Sun went to go sit on the benches.
Sun kept his glare strong on the blue-haired menace. Before the game began, Neptune looked towards him with a small fire in his eye. Sun mocked him by mouthing 'don't choke' and then winking at him. Neptune's face went momentarily red then looked towards his opponent in a moment of focus.
Sun grinned to himself. The nerd totally got intimidated by me! His face was so red.
The match between Neptune and the other group had begun. Sun kept his eyes glued to Neptune, and a little bit of Sage. He wanted to know all his moves, motives, and reflexes to make sure that he would win against him. So far, it was hard to get a grasp of any sort of weakness. Neptune's opponents didn't even make him break a sweat. Sage himself was big, and a little slow to the reaction. Sun was sure that he'd be able to solo most of Neptune's team. Neptune was the only problem. Typical.
Before he knew it, it was all over. Neptune's team had a clean sweep as well. Now, it was time for Sun's and Neptune's team to face off. This would definitely be tougher than the other kids. A small break was given to Neptune's team so they wouldn't be completely worn out, but instead became a little more rowdy.
Once more, Sun and Neptune came face to face.
"I'm gonna kick your butt!" Neptune began, with a rude tone.
"No, I'm gonna kick your butt!" Sun responded.
The two, were now chest to chest in another display of who was the bigger, better, and more boisterous man.
The coach blew his whistle, as he somehow, once more had sneakily approached them. The two flew apart from one another eyes still locked on the other.
The two made their way to their respective sides, as Neptune and Sun snarled at each other from across the room.
"Alright boys, this one will be for everything. One game. One winner." the coach said loudly. "You all know the rules. We will begin when I blow the…" TWEEET. The coach blew the whistle catching both of the teams off guard.
In a blink, the two teams had ran towards the balls and back up. This would be a tough match. Sun and Scarlet had managed to get out most of the opposing team to which now only Neptune and Sage stood.
The four remaining competitors were drenched in sweat. Sun and Scarlet stood with their backs against the walls, as did Sage and Neptune. There was an atmosphere of understanding for a quick break and for discussion of plan.
Scarlet had agreed to sacrifice himself in order to get Sage out, in whatever way he could.
The two teams had an equal amount of balls to each side. The duo of each side now stepped closer. Scarlet with one ball in hand, and Sun with two. Neptune held onto two balls, as Sage held one.
"Hey, big fella! Yeah you, ya big brute!" Scarlet called out, now trying to mock and distract Sage with faces and awkward movements. Sage scowled at Scarlet. The distraction had worked as Sun threw one ball at him as he was caught off guard. Scarlet, too was eliminated as Neptune had thrown his spare ball at him quite harshly. The ball, had unironically hit him in his own balls. Everyone in the room flinched.
"Crap. Sorry!" Neptune muttered, seeming genuinely sorry for his aim. Though, in reality he knew that Scarlet deserved it for mocking Sage.
They waited several moments for Scarlet to recover and remove himself from the battlefield. Now, it was one versus one. Sun versus Neptune.
The two glared at each other. Sun made the first move, but Neptune skillfully dodged this throw as well as he had dodged all the others that were thrown at him. Neptune retaliated, but Sun dodged just as well as he did. The two continuously battled, going from throwing one ball at a time to now two in quick succession. Both of them seemed to have dodged and danced to and fro as they battled.
Both of them began to breath hard, with their sweat dripping off of their foreheads.
"JUST LOSE ALREADY!" Neptune yelled out harshly.
"THE ONLY ONE LOSING HERE IS GOING TO BE YOU!" Sun returned the yell.
Both of them stepped closer towards the line, as they stood several feet across from each other. Both of them wound up, and prepared to throw one of the hardest and fastest throws of their lives. As they let go, both balls whooshed passed each other and hit both Sun and Neptune square in the face simultaneously. The two boys fell over, knocked out.
The class sat there stunned. Only to burst out into a riot of laughter. The coach shook his head and proceeded to carry them to the nurse's office. The two had woken up an hour later, arguing with one another that the other got knocked out first. Each boy still believed they had won.
The second incident occurred a year later, they were still in middle school. 7th grade. It was a gorgeous day outside, and so the coach had decided they'd do some relays. Both of the boys had already joined the middle school track team, and knew that they could never beat one another in the races. But who said that today couldn't be the day?
The four boys: Sun, Scarlet, Sage, and Neptune had become the oddest of friends. Sun and Neptune were always strangely competitive towards each other. That was something they knew couldn't be put aside. In whatever they did. More often than not, Scarlet would wager that neither of them could outdrink each other. One of the several side incidents that had occurred was when they each tried to chug a gallon of milk. The both of them threw up half-way through and all Scarlet and Sage did was laugh at their competitiveness. It was a fun sight to see.
But today, the two were in their over-dramatics mode.
In the locker room, a small fight almost broke out between the two boys.
"You're slow, Wukong. You couldn't beat a sloth." Neptune sneered, as he held his gym shirt at his side. His young body was fit, slim, and he had hit another growth spurt.
"At least, I'm not a snail loser like you! You're gonna get PWNED!" Sun retaliated. He too was in top form compared to Neptune. The two were middle school Gods among middle school men!
Neptune pushed against Sun with his chest in a display of dominance, with his shirt bunched up in his fist to his side. Sun pushed backed and the two butted heads. Sage and Scarlet pulled the two back.
"Chill out ya wankers, you're gonna get your chance to prove ya worth." Scarlet rolled his eyes and headed out to the track, Sage shook his head and followed behind Scarlet.
The two huffed at each other and put their shirts on in a hurry and ran out the door.
The coach eyed the class, especially Neptune and Sun. He was used to their shenanigans by now. This to him, would be no different. Besides, it was secretly the highlight of the coaches day when the two boys would compete. He had never seen such a competitiveness between two boys. It filled his heart with a coaches joy.
"All right boys. Today, we run. We run until you all puke or I get tired of watching you puke." He stated with a heavy tone.
"I thought today was relay day!" Neptune complained out loud.
"It is. Whoever finishes 3 miles first, and then does 10 suicides gets to leave early and earns an A for the class. How does that sound?"
Neptune and Sun looked at each other with a fire in their eyes and mischievous grin.
"It's on."
The rest of the class seemed to groan and everyone lined up on the starting line. Sun and Neptune were in the front of the line. Ready.
The coach blew his whistle and Sun and Neptune had sprinted off. The two were in the front, head to head. They had managed to lap several boys already. Including Scarlet who was half-assedly running. Sage made it look like he was trying or something along those lines.
The boys continued with their face pace. Neither of them letting up. Not wanting to give the other an advantage.
Both boys had managed for a 15 - 16 minute 3 mile run. Both of them were breathing hard, but immediately made their way to the field so they could begin their suicide runs.
They both took off within an instant and had finished without stopping. Though, at the end of their runs both of them looked at each other. Sweat covering their faces and by then they had removed their shirts.
"Y-you…"
"Y-you.." both boys had begun to say something to one another, but had immediately passed out due to fatigue.
By then Scarlet and Sage had made their way to them and carried them off to the nurse's office.
Once more the boys had each declared themselves the winner of the competition, but in actuality no true winner was to be had as both boys had once more tied.
This was an endless curse. Neither boys could seem to have the upperhand on one another when it came to competing fair and square. The only way to win would be to cheat, but they had too much respect for one another to not actually do that. Though, they never told that to the other.
It was when the last year of their middle school days that everything would change. One final competition that would seemingly throw every competition away and start something new.
In 8th grade, the school finally had opened up a swimming pool. Their school was somewhat new, and fairly slow to the grind of things. They HAD a pool, it just was never ready until they had hit the 8th grade. To the luck of the 8th graders of the school.
They had been told to come to school with swimming briefs the next day. Sun and Neptune were always at it still. Arguing who would be the best. Little did Neptune know that Sun was a great swimmer and was already practicing to be a lifeguard. Sun for sure knew he had the advantage, and this by his standards, wasn't cheating.
The two appeared in the locker rooms, but something was off about Neptune. By now he would be loud and obnoxious. Always starting a fight. This time he seemed pale, and quiet.
"Hey, Neptune! Cat got your tongue?!" Sun chided. Trying to rile him up.
Neptune turned towards him and with a slight shake in his voice retaliated in weak form. "Yeah, whatever nerd."
What sort of comeback was that for Neptune? It was unusual to say the least and to brush Sun off like that? What was up with him?
Everyone in class had gotten into their swimming trunks and headed towards the pools.
Neptune was the last one out. Was he...shaking?
"Everyone in the pool!" the coach had called out. Sun had wondered what would be in store for today.
Wait a second…
Was Neptune trying to pull something? This would surely be new and a surprise. Is he taking a different approach or…
Sun watched as Neptune carefully tiptoed around the pool. He never actually made an entrance. Everyone else had already jumped in, including Sun, Sage, and Scarlet. Sage and Scarlet seemed to be talking to some other classmates.
"Neptune! What are you waiting for? Get in there!" Coach had called out from a distance and slowly approached the tall, skinny yet fit kid.
"G-g-got it coach." Neptune seemed to genuinely stutter.
Was he…?
No, it couldn't be..
Sun watched as Neptune nervously eyed the water. He still refused to get in after being told to. Neptune had held his arms wrapped around himself, almost in a timid sort of fashion.
"Neptune." the coach now had a hand on his shoulder. "Since you're being difficult it seems like the only thing we can do here now is…"
"TOSS HIM IN!" one boy in the pool yelled out, watching the whole ordeal. By now the whole class had eyes on him. "Yeah!" Several boys added in with gusto.
"TOSS HIM IN" they began to chant. Except for Sun.
Something within Sun clicked. He watched as the coach and another boy who had gotten out of the pool to help him with the process.
"No, don't!" Sun called out, but his voice was drowned out by laughter and cheers and chants.
Neptune seemed to struggle with no avail as the two had picked him up and now threw him into the deep end.
Neptune sank. He didn't seem to struggle or move.
The class momentarily went quiet as they watched the oddity occur. Low murmurs and whispers could be heard. The coach and the boy who had tossed him in were no longer laughing and appeared to be a little white.
"What the FUCK is wrong with you all?" Sun now swam towards the sunken Neptune and dove down. Neptune had sunken rather fast.
With great strength he brought up Neptunes body and put him on the edge with the help of Sage. Sun had climbed out and had checked Neptunes pulse.
Sun now gave him mouth to mouth, and proceeded to go through heimlich like maneuvers. The class watched him and sat quietly. Within several moments, Neptune sputtered out water from his mouth and opened his eyes.
"Hey, glad you're okay." Sun said in a soft tone to Neptune. He then turned to everyone else, "BUT YOU ARE ALL ASSHOLES!" he angrily said. He helped Neptune up and took him back to the locker rooms.
The coach nor the class bothered to stop them. The tension in the air was thick and so class continued without them.
"Thanks." Neptune muttered out, wiping his eyes as he spoke.
"Why didn't you just say you couldn't swim?" Sun asked in a gentle tone.
"It's not just that. I guess you could say I have aquaphobia. I'm fine in showers and stuff like that, but bigger bodies of water...I can't get in or I just pass out instantly because at that point I'm having a mini-heart attack." Neptune said quietly with an embarrassed look upon his face.
"Dude. You could've just like died there. Why?"
"I don't want to lose to you…"
"Because of our competition?! That's ridiculous. I don't want you to DIE over stuff like this! We're not even in high school yet!"
"So, no more competitions…?"
"Yeah, no more. I can lose a competition, but I can't lose you." Sun paused and coughed on his words. He blushed slightly. "Y-you know what I mean." he scratched the back of his neck.
Neptune was at a slight loss for words as he too was blushing.
"We have to learn how to chill out and be cool with each other, alright?" Sun added. "Sooo...friends? And not like weird frenemy competitive-out-the-ass friends?"
Neptune chuckled and nodded. "Yeah, we can be friends. Sounds a lot more fun that constantly passing out each year." He paused and twiddled his thumbs together. "Can I ask you a question, Sun?"
"Shoot."
"Why did you even bother competing with me at all? I mean, thinking back on it we're kinda dumb." He laughed. "Were we trying to prove something to one another?"
Sun was standing at this point and had leaned back onto one of the lockers. His mind wandered for the moment, trying to find an actual reason as to why they would've gone on this long with this stupidity. He momentarily looked at Neptune who had taken a seat, next to his own locker, then went back to thinking to himself.
He shook himself out his glazed look, and brought his attention back to Neptune. "Honestly, I think I saw you as a threat." He chuckled to himself, not sure if what he was saying actually made sense. "When you walked into this school. There was just this weird aura about you. Everything about you was just so bright." He walked a little closer towards Neptune who was looking up at him as he spoke. "I didn't know how to take it so I thought that being...your rival would make me the better man."
Sun now sat down next to Neptune, giving him a rather apologetic look. Really, his own explanation, now that he was saying it out loud sounded completely ridiculous. He was more or less ashamed of this reasoning. "I don't know if that even makes sense to you. I guess it was just my mentality. I was always...number one, but with you around I guess...I guess I didn't feel as if this town would be big enough for the two of us!" he now tried to joke - it brought out a small snicker from Neptune.
"You thought I'd be number one?" Neptune now asked.
Sun nodded. "Sounds silly, huh?"
"I can't really blame you though." Neptune smirked.
"What do you mean?"
"I am the best looking guy in the 8th grade." Neptune now made a joke of his own.
Sun laughed, but instead of retaliating with his own usual antics - "Yeah, you're pretty handsome. I can't deny that."
"Yea- Wait…" Neptune blushed and turned away from Sun. "You were supposed to be an ass about it." He added with his head still turned away.
"What, you don't think you're good looking?" Sun commented, now trying to get a better look at Neptune's face.
"I am, it's just that...now it just seems like you've actually been flirting with me this whole time and have been hiding it under the guise of being a dumb old rival." Neptune now turned to Sun looking him square in the eye. "That's too cliche."
Sun's eyebrows raised as he gave him a very odd look. "Is it?"
Sun had begun to lean in, he could feel the heat rising in both of their faces. Neptune was blushing harshly at this point. He didn't want to move away, part of him wasn't sure if he wanted this or not but he just had to try. Sun's lips finally found their destinations on Neptunes. It was an awkward kiss. Had Sun ever kissed anyone before? Sun's hand lightly caressed the side of Neptune's face. The kiss wasn't 100% perfect, it was apparent that Sun had some work to do, but Neptune had to admit that there was certain aura and peace about it. Something that told him that this was only going to get better and feel better given the time.
Sun finally pulled back and gave Neptune a cheeky grin. He scratched the nape of his neck. "Sooo…" Sun began, "How was that?"
"You definitely need some work." Neptune was still mid-blush.
"Think you can help me?"
"Isn't that what friends are for?" Neptune grinned and the two of them laughed together.
/
From then on Sun and Neptune were inseparable, but in a very good way. The two had eventually told Scarlet and Sage what had happened between the two in the locker room and the two didn't seem to mind. In fact, Scarlet had made a bet with Sage that the two would get together, Sage lost. Sun and Neptune laughed at the fact.
The two took it slow with one another, learning and loving together. They didn't officially call themselves a couple until they were out of highschool. But everybody knew, and most didn't care. The only thing that mattered to Sun was Neptune - and vice versa.
It wasn't until their third year of college that the "outbreak" happened.
Sun watched as the outroar of these monsters overtook the media for almost every breaking news story. He couldn't help but feel connected, in someway.
Soon enough he was.
Luckily, the discovery of his own "monstrous" aspect was when it was an indoor date night. Movie night.
The lights were dim, the movie was a scary one, but there was one little annoying factor outside of the movie itself.
"Babe, I thought I told you to turn off your phone light." Neptune said, his attention towards the dark movie.
"It is?" He looked at Neptune, who now had weird light cast on him. It definitely wasn't the movie.
Neptune looked back at him and his jaw nearly dropped. He let out a screech.
"Y-your eye!"
Sun paused the movie and ran to the restroom. A weird glow was emanating from his eye. Neptune had followed him in there.
"W-what do I do? This is the most obvious one!" Sun looked slightly panicked.
"You can wear sunglasses?" Neptune quickly threw out. "You can grow out your hair!"
"I can't wear sunglasses forever and I don't really want to look like an emo kid my whole life." Sun laid his head on the shoulder of Neptune, or well tried to.
"Do you want to get caught?"
"Well no, but I can't go to class with sunglasses on!"
Neptune nodded. "You're right. How about we say you have pink eye, or o-oh! How about you left the country?"
Sun scrunched his face. "The pink eye could only work for so long, but really, leaving the country?"
Neptune shrugged. "Worth a shot…" he muttered. "We'll figure it out...don't worry, okay?"
A few weeks had passed, and Sun had stayed hidden within his single person dormitory. This was a concern, not only for Sun and Neptune but for several of his friends on campus. His 'bros' could only assume the worst. That he was dead.
Sure enough, on one fateful day his dormitory was raided. Something, he should've seen coming, but he didn't have that great of future vision...well, at the time. Sun hadn't taken the time to practice what it was to be a monster, he didn't even know what his monster form looked like - as he was an unusually calm person and with Neptune, he seemed to be at ease almost all the time.
As the cops had entered his dorm he couldn't help but try to hide himself. This was to no avail, soon enough he was no longer considered a victim, but now a suspect as his eye clearly glowed. He was now cornered in his own room, by six to seven cops. This was when it all fell apart, Sun panicked. Neptune was nowhere to be found.
And so, Sun transformed into a monkey like creature with four arms, two tails, and two legs. He seemed to have shrunk, but only slightly. The cops didn't even give him a chance as they appeared to be just a frightened as Sun was, so they began to open fire. Sun covered himself with his arms, and the bullets ricocheted off of an invisible barrier and straight back into two of the cops that were in the room. Immediately, the gunfire ceased and everyone backed off within an instant Sun seamlessly glided past them and out of the room. The other officers called for back up.
As he entered the hallway - he noticed how filled with his once friends, bystanders, and gawkers that were now all staring at him as flew past in his estranged form. Everything to him felt like slow motion as he now ran down the stairs and out the dormitory, it kind of sucked living on the third floor.
As he opened the door to the outside he was met by more cops, and an overhead helicopter that was shining its lights down on him.
"FREEZE. WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED." called out one of the cops. "COME QUIETLY, AND WE PROMISE NO HARM WILL COME TO YOU."
Sun looked around, panicked looking for his blue-haired boyfriend. Almost as if he had just sent out a search signal - Neptune had appeared next to one of the cops - who seemed to be making an agreement. Within an instant Neptune ran up to him, giving him a hug. This had calmed down Sun immensely. Making him feel human, once more.
"Are you okay?" Neptune kissed him in a hurried manner.
"I am now…" he paused. "I'm so sorry...so sorry.." he began to tear up. "I didn't mean to get caught.."
"It's not your fault, it isn't. I'll save you from this one way or another. I promise we'll get through this." Neptune assured him in front of the crowd.
Sun could feel the stares, he was a monster. But he didn't want to be...all he wanted to be was a boy in love.
"I promise." Neptune reassured him once more, as Sun stayed sobbing, he miracoulously returned to human form. He rubbed his eyes. "I'm with you...I'm with you always, okay?" Sun nodded and grabbed his hand to hold. "Let's go. I'm sure there will be a goo-"
A gunshot went off. Sniper. Time had seemed to pause once more. Sun turned and watched as Neptune had been shot in the face. Through his eye. Everything turned to slow motion once more - and instantly out of rage, confusion, sadness, and pain Sun transformed and let out a howling screech that seemed to break every window within 50 mile radius.
Time had returned to its normal instance and everyone began to panic. Cops were now swarming - unsure of who had shot Neptune. The crowd was scattering. It was chaos. Sun looked around - looking for the attacker, but it was of no use. There was too much stimulation. Just too much. He looked down at Neptune who was now...dead. His lover. Shot down right next to him. He could feel the attacker smirking, looking down on him. They did this on purpose. Whoever it was. Sun wanted to escape. Sun wanted to die. But he stuck with the former rather than the latter and with another burst of rage he screeched, this time, it teleported him. Somewhere. Sun was unsure of how his powers worked, but he realized he was unlike the others he seen on the news. He could set up barriers, emit loud powerful screeches that not only break things, but can teleport him. He wondered what else he could do.
But right now, all he wanted to do was mourn as he had been transported behind an apartment complex, near the dumpsters. Just where he thought he belonged. In a matter of minutes to seconds, his life had been completely torn apart. Why him? Why this? Everything was so good..but good never lasts, does it? He went on a small rampage behind this complex. He was torn to pieces. The thought and image of Neptune being...killed would replay over and over in his head.
He climbed into the nearby dumpster - maybe he could die here, peacefully. But that didn't seem likely as black car drove up to the dumpster. It's almost as if they knew he was there. Maybe he would be put out of his misery and back with Neptune. That's the best thing he could hope for.
Sun peeked out and a woman with long black hair approached him.
He growled, "Go away. I can kill you."
"I know you can Sun, but I'm here to help. My name is Blake Belladonna and I want to save you and your kind, but I need you to help me."
Sun propped open the dumpster in a rage.
"Help me? I can't even help my boyfriend! How can I help anyone!? Why the hell would anyone want to help me anyways?!" He spat out in a rage. "How did you even find me?!"
Blake pulled out a device. "This is a Monster Hunter device. It can recognize signals that come from monsters. Mostly distress signals. Your's is pretty damn large."
Sun look concerned.
"Don't worry. I stole the only one that was working, but please, if we let this go on any longer you and every monster and their mate will be in danger. So please, just come with me."
"Who are you?" Sun now stepped out of the trashcan.
"Someone's who's finally conscious about this whole damn ordeal." Blake sighed, she looked a bit hesitant. She knew damn well she needed Sun on her side. She knew damn well, that she didn't want to see this happen to anyone like Sun ever again.
"You're special Sun. You see, if they caught you...every one of your type would be in danger. I shouldn't be able to even speak to you right now, most monsters can't speak to humans, but you….you are a caliber above and beyond. Please Sun, we have to go. I don't want this to happen again."
Sun sighed. Where else did he have to go? He was alone. Besides he could probably get some answers from this girl. Even if it was a trap it's not like he had anything to live for any longer.
"Fine." Sun finally agreed. "But you have to tell me everything. Got it?"
Blake nodded as the two entered her car.
"Well, I guess it all begins with the job I once had…"
