I was back in my hotel room as I looked at the ocean from my window. After last night's lunar eclipse that occurred early in the day, I was stuck here as I didn't like the extra protection that was there at my door constantly. Even when I tried to leave, I was forced back in as I hated being confined to my room in which it reminded me of the house arrest that I endured after the destruction of the Sol-1 last year. Even though I was being protected, I was getting fed up with the concept of the basic "helicopter parenting" altogether as I went towards the window and opened it up. When I shimmied out of there and crept on the wall outside, I was free to roam around as I was slowly leaping downward towards the bottom until I was noticed on the thirty-eighth floor in which I felt the window opening up the moment I fell into the room, which hosted a usual salaryman party with food, drink, and karaoke blended together.
My escape attempt was thwarted once again as I saw several businessmen from other planets drinking sake and chowing down on numerous sushi and gyozas that were everywhere. It was a party there, but I was ready to leave as I went out the door. Just as I was about to leave, I spotted Kazuo as he had his right arm in a sling. Even though I tried to get away from him, I was no match for his sharp senses as I was put in the doghouse once again.
"You got out of your room again, Sam," he said as he saw me leave the room with the businessmen and out into the hall. "You were given specific orders not to leave your room, but you did anyway."
"I don't like being confined in my own hotel room, Kazuo," I said.
"Well, it's better than getting captured by our enemies and they are more than willing to make you their own personal bitch."
"This is being confined during my house arrest all over again, isn't it?!" I was getting irritated by Kazuo's stern lectures as I wasn't about to let him have the last laugh right now. "So far, I've been babysat, being a guinea pig, and become trapped like a prisoner in solitary confinement, but now is not the time to have me brought back in my little box just to have a few helicopter parents hovering over me!"
I decided to leave the hall as I was on my way towards the elevator. When I stopped briefly, I was ready to take the stairs as I entered them just to avoid some unsuspecting surprises along the way. I was running down the stairs as I was getting away from the troubles that were keeping me prisoner. By the time I reached the thirty-fourth floor, I ended up having the urge to do my business as I got out into the hall and went towards the mens' restroom the moment I couldn't hold it. By the time I went towards one of the urinals, I removed my gloves as I placed them on the sink counter the moment I began to relieve myself. Even though I was doing my business, I heard the sound of tinkling in one of the bathroom stalls as I had a gut feeling that someone female was watching me. By the time I finished up, I flushed the urinal as I went towards the sink and washed my hands in which I dried them off and put back on my gloves. When the toilet in one of the stalls flushed, I saw the door open up as I noticed Reiko getting out of there in which she went to the sink and washed her hands after doing her own business, for she had her reasons to be here.
"This isn't a unisex restroom, but you couldn't hold it, could you?" I said.
"The ladies' room was full," said Reiko as she dried her hands off under the dryer near the sink.
"I've been a target to our foes, but I can't just be confined forever."
"Actually, I came to fetch you home, but Uncle Kazuo won't let me do so."
"He's interested in playing the helicopter parent than someone with an experience with the Medical Corps. Still, he's reeling after he was shot by an old foe he knew, but we've got bigger problems right now."
"About that..." Reiko was blushing as she wanted to talk about something else. "Dirk wanted to come along with me, so he's in one of the rooms on this floor."
"Oh, dear…; anyway, he's about to turn thirteen next month anyway, but it's a long way to go after that."
"Sam!" yelled Dirk as he was sprinting down the hall. "You gotta see this out there!"
I went towards the window as I saw dozens of people from below standing in front of the hotel in which they were there for a reason. With plenty of religious signs in tow, I saw them through the surveillance camera that was broadcasting outside as I also noticed several members of the Trostian Army blocking the way where the main entrance was. Even Dirk was stunned to see such religious displays pouring in as this was all too much so far, for there would be no end to it anytime soon.
"They've been like that since you came here," he said. "They even demand to see Reiko out there as well."
"They've been all over since we came here, but this is too much," said Reiko.
"We've never been revered too much until now, but this is ridiculous," I said.
"This is strange to hear, but we are the only hope that everyone has right now. We have the future to protect, but there are those who would want to abuse what we have right now."
I continued to stare at the crowd from below as I turned around and noticed a familiar angel appear out of nowhere in which he used his angelic powers to knock Dirk and Reiko out. It was Cadmael as he grabbed me by the arm and transported me towards a hideout that was located near the outskirts of the city. What I didn't expect was that I noticed Julilla standing in front of me as she was walking closer to where I was. She saw me with the silver hair in person this time as she touched it the moment she smelled the scent of men's soap and cologne all over me. Her sick obsession over me made me begin to reject her even more as I was eager to flee, but I was barred from doing so, no thanks to the assassin who wounded Kazuo yesterday.
"I finally have you at last, Sam," said Julilla. "It was by chance that Cadmael had to take you away from the Order's clutches sooner or later." She continues to smell at the scent that I had. "Oh, yes…, you're ripe for the taking the moment I broadcast your desire for me in front of your beloved wife."
"I will never be your personal sex toy nor will I be your brood stallion, either. All I am is just a simple Man of Letters and nothing more."
"That is what your handlers want you to hear, Sam," said Cadmael. "You know that you're the only one who can satisfy Julilla's long itch after she had a little rough treatment from Ailnoth."
"That's not my problem right now, for I won't bow to her whim anytime soon!"
"You can resist all you want, but once you get a taste of Julilla, you'll be begging for more."
"I won't be her lover, Cadmael, no matter what you say!"
"If you continue to resist me, then I'll cause harm to your family and your friends the same way they have rejected me," said Julilla in a very icy tone that abhorred me to the extreme. "It's the most you can do right now, for it is the will of the Executive Division that you obey."
"You've treated those who you enticed the same way, only to lead them to their deaths! You even caused further misery towards Lentulus Varus and his daughter in which his son-in-law vows revenge against you for sending them to the gallows! You can't fool me because I will flee your grasp sooner or later!"
It wasn't long until Cadmael grabbed me as he transported me towards a holding cell. He was not too thrilled to see me reject Julilla as he was most likely to kill me for rejecting my captor so readily. Still, I remained loyal as I did so in my willful defiance, for I wasn't about to fall under Julilla's spell soon enough.
"I ought to melt those eyes from that pretty face of yours for your disobedience towards Julilla," said Cadmael. "Sooner or later, you'll embrace the one woman whose itch is in dire need of being scratched. Otherwise, you'll see your friends and family slowly dying in front of you for your defiance towards the Executive Division. It is the only way for you to cooperate."
"And be suckered in by temptation?!" I yelled. "I would rather die than become your mistress' brood stallion!"
"Make your choice, Sam, for this decision will be in our favor soon enough."
At that moment, I watched Cadmael disappear without a trace as I was left alone in my holding cell. I had to find a way to get free as I was also concerned about the empty threats towards my friends and family becoming a reality. When I saw the door open, I saw a guard enter as he knocked me out with an empty bottle the moment it shattered on my head. The guard himself stared briefly at the camera as he noticed a laundry chute that leads into the underground levels. When I was tossed into the lower levels, the guard changed into my form as he turned out to be a superior shapeshifter, for there would be complications on the horizon if not revealed in time…
An hour later, I came to as I found myself in a laundry dumping area in which I saw the line of washers and dryers that were all over the room. What I didn't expect was that I felt blood dripping down the left side of my head as I looked into the mirror to see the gash that was there the moment I was knocked unconscious earlier. Even though I was on my feet, I was ready to keep myself hidden until I saw a familiar face appear out of nowhere. It was Shigeru as he was ready to get me out of here in which he was unscathed by the constant warding that was there below, for it was beneficial that he came here to rescue me.
"I first wanted to find Rick Lassiter out of here, but I found you instead," he said.
"Aren't you a Nephilim in your own right?" I asked.
"Dude, just because I'm a Nephilim, doesn't mean that I'm not immune to the warding all over the place. You can thank that neurotic nitwit who kept beating your ass for telling me where you were in which I told him about his mother dead at the hands of the Black Dragon Guild."
"Jethro told you about this place?"
"His ancestors of the Old Guard once squatted in this hideout in which they warded the underground waterways with sigils that repel angels and demons from coming up to the surface. These days, it's one of the Executive Division's squatting grounds for Julilla and this one's on Trost."
"I see what you mean, but that angel who took me here is-"
"The asshat who shot at Uncle Kazuo? He may be an angel, but he refuses to go down here because of the sigils that stun his powers. First and foremost…," Shigeru takes my hand as he transports me out back towards the Galloping Seahorse near the ocean. "...Let's get the hell out of here." I see him get out a first aid kit as he opened it up to get out some alcohol wipes and a bandage. "Looks like Rick didn't mess around when he knocked you out with a glass bottle."
I saw Shigeru clean the wound I sustained as I felt the alcohol from the moist wipes sting me after what I went through. When I saw him wrap the bandage around my head, he tied it up as he was also being careful with the long silver hair that I had on my head, for I had to tell someone eventually until I felt my knees buckling after what I went through.
"It seems that you won't heal me up to full at this time," I said.
"If you're fully healed, then you'd be put under the microscope of being a cheater to Sis," said Shigeru. "Both the Order and the Rakuen Priesthood literally condemn those who cheat on their spouses in which they end up going towards the isolated city of Grigorath on Maugrim in which most adulterers are put at, which is better than being killed."
"And the one who knocked me out…, what will become of him?"
"Rick kept wanting to repay the debt he owes since your friend convinced him to return home to Kaijirin, but when the Executive Division got wind of his family in dire financial trouble, they refused to play to their whim until Rick decided to find you."
"Rick Lassiter was the one who attacked me?"
"Rick had his reasons to change into you, but he also viewed you to be a much more honorable man than one anticipated. He even said that you reached your reasons to do the right thing when it comes to helping those in need. You did help do away with General Wetzel, didn't you? C'mon, let's get you back to Sis and the others in this hotel before everyone else worries."
And so, Shigeru helped me up as we were on our way towards the inner lobby of the Galloping Seahorse where I was staying at. As for the current situation so far, I had to show everyone the truth as I also had my honor at stake as well...
Reiko sprinted towards a conference hall on the thirtieth floor as she saw something that alarmed other members of the Order. It was a video of Julilla in her room with a man on top of her in which she sensed that it was someone else in my form. When Zaphra arrived, she was disgusted to see this as she wanted to wring my neck with my long silver hair of mine, for she despised cheaters who were unfaithful to their spouses. After being unconscious for two hours, she wanted to find me in time as she wanted to tell me about the doppleganger that Julilla was banging, for she wouldn't tell the difference the moment the truth would be revealed afterwards.
"That pendejo!" yelled Zaphra as she was furious to see the sex tape that was there. "Sam has no right to cheat on Reiko like that! And I thought Balthazar's bad habits were bad!"
"That's not my Sammy," she said as she sensed the truth. "I know him a lot better than that because he'll always be faithful to me."
"That's Sam, but he's fucking that puta who's in charge of the Executive Division!"
"Sammy would never do that, for you should look at what he's been doing after that..."
Reiko saw more of the "sex tape" of my doppleganger as he stared at the camera briefly in which the eyes flashed due to the characteristics of being a shapeshifter. She had a gut feeling that I was tossed somewhere while my doppleganger was taking the heat for giving Julilla a mere night's pleasure. Even Zaphra was stunned to see the superior shapeshifter leave as it changed back into a familiar form that was once known in his days in the Kingdom by the River on Alecrast.
"Wait! I know that young man!" she yelled.
"I never saw him before, but he saved Sammy from humiliation just now," said Reiko.
"His name's Rick Lassiter and his familia is one of the five monster dynasties all over Kaijirin. If you know about the ongoing feud between his familia and the Duvals, there's been some bad blood between them for centuries."
"I see..."
"Hey, Sis! I've got something for you!"
Reiko saw Shigeru appear out of nowhere as he had me in tow with a bandage that covered the gash on my head where I was knocked out. I was also feeling dizzy as I sat down in a chair next to my wife in which she was concerned about what happened to me just now. When I saw the sex tape between my doppleganger and Julilla, I was both appalled and shocked to see Rick pull off a move to defend my honor, for he wasn't about to let me get thrown under the bus right now.
"You're hurt," said Reiko as she saw the bandage on my head.
"You can thank my doppleganger for knocking me out earlier," I said.
"Rick sure has a lot of experience…, for a living sex toy," said Shigeru.
"It's a shame that he's not in the Order, but he helped Sammy just now…," said Reiko.
"Yeah, but things are gonna get ugly after that… I bet that Uncle Kazuo's also gonna have a field day with your predicament like he always does, but it's a godsend that there's a hospital next door, so I can get you there just to get checked out."
"That's good enough to hear…, but Rick Lassiter is the hero of this hour right now," I said. "Even though he came from a powerful family of shapeshifters, he came through to the end in which I was spared the humiliation that I nearly fell into."
I was thankful that I was saved from humiliation as I also wanted to thank Rick in person the next time I saw him. Still, I wanted to show some gratitude towards the living sex toy as he was also someone who was willing to defend my honor at the last minute, for it was something that I was eternally grateful for…
Later on, I was at the hospital next door as I was laying on an examination table in which a scanner was detailing the injury I sustained and other things in mend while in one of the labs. It was a stroke of luck that I lived and had my honor spared, but I was fearing the worst as I heard a commotion coming from the hall as I got up and left the lab to see what was going on. To my shock, I saw Rick being taken into the emergency room in a stretcher as I noticed Kazuo seeing Mason and several more members of the Medical Corps arriving to report in, for there was something wrong indeed.
"We found him loitering along the pier," said Mason as he wheeled Rick towards the doors of the emergency room. "He said that his privates have been burning since he banged that ice queen, but this could be more serious than what we know."
"You're bringing in a shapeshifter here, aren't you?" said Kazuo.
"We help all, both humanoid and monster, sir. Besides, didn't you go by the hypocratic oath, 'First do no harm?'"
Kazuo saw Mason and the other Medical Corps staff wheel Rick into the emergency room as they put on rubber gloves and stripped him of his clothing. With his shirt taken off, Rick was in for the worst as he saw Kazuo take off his pants and underwear in which the evidence of Julilla's handiwork was written all over where he helped himself to her unprotected. The sight of his member and adjoining pouch was a ghastly sight as it was all swollen and red due to him having unprotected intercourse with Julilla earlier in which a topical medical cream was placed on them to combat the swelling between his legs. I also saw the evidence with my own eyes through the doors of the emergency room as I felt concerned about how the living sex toy ended up sparing me from dishonor, only to suffer from his folly.
"Subject's genitals are swollen due to the toxin from the Claudian tree frogs," said Kazuo.
"That's a pain in the ass to see," said Mason. "Hell, even my Mom discourages us from getting laid before marriage."
"Where's Sam?" asked Rick as he was in pain.
"He's here, but he sustained a concussion where you clocked him," said Kazuo.
"Just two years ago, he told me to give up the sex trade during my days in the Kingdom by the River on Alecrast, but when I heard word that the Executive Division was gonna use him as Julilla's brood stallion, I decided to resume my bad habit so he wouldn't get thrown under the bus."
"And you suffered from the toxin she secretes from her genitals just to get into the body."
"I didn't want Sam taking the heat for that humiliation, alright?! At first, I was pissed at him for helping to restore Futaba to the throne in her domain, but he did the right thing to let me pass so I wouldn't go to Belbe Citadel on Gehenna after the sex trade ban. I owed him, so I didn't let him suffer from that ice queen's toxins, but I also didn't wanna let him have his honor destroyed in the process, either. I couldn't let him suffer from that-"
"He's seizing!" yelled Mason as he saw Rick shaking badly.
"Damn it!" yelled Kazuo.
Rick was suffering for his efforts as he was enduring a seizure that he didn't expect until now. He was in pain as Kazuo got out a syringe filled with an anti-toxin in which he injected the patient with it in order to stop the seizure for a while. As for the rest of Rick's predicament, he was in a world of hurt as he felt a laser scalpel cutting off the foreskin of his member as it was placed in a metal tray for analysis, for this wasn't his day after all.
"Subject's foreskin is collected for analysis as planned," said Kazuo. "Therefore, the anti-toxin that was administered into him earlier may stave off the effects, but the toxicity from the Claudian tree frogs must be tested to bring out a further anti-toxin for further use."
"You could've had a blood sample taken from me instead of making me Jewish!" yelled Rick as he had a bandage over his member. "My family has a disdain for circumcision in which they equate it for being Jewish in the first place!"
"It's better than having the rest of you suffer from the toxin's side effects," said Mason. "Therefore, it's better to have your member stripped of the affected foreskin instead of letting the rest of you fester up like that. Toxin from Claudian tree frogs is very deadly, but this anti-toxin will sustain you until we get to the bottom of finding a cure for you."
"I just hope that you're right about that one..."
Rick was wheeled out of the emergency room with a sheet covering his lower half of his body as he was stabilized for the time being. When I saw him going towards a hospital room, I was concerned as I wanted to follow him until I heard footsteps approaching the moment I turned around and saw Kazuo standing from behind, for he wasn't about to let me go anytime soon.
"I hope that Rick's okay," I said.
"Rick Lassiter suffered from the same toxin that was flowing all over Julilla, only to see potential in that shapeshifter's DNA for a possible cure," said Kazuo. "Even though the toxin from the Claudian tree frogs can be fatal, it can also be neutralized in time to find a cure just in time for those who suffer in the future."
"By the way, I saw the assassin who shot you in which he now works for Julilla. He even threatened to have my family killed if I didn't adhere to that awful ice queen's demands. That was when I was knocked out and tossed down the laundry chute. Even when I came to, I was thankful that Shigeru was immune to the warding sigils there underground in which he has his Nephilim abilities there at his disposal."
"Let me remind you that his maternal grandfather is also a Knight of Heaven. It is also a godsend that he got you out of there before Cadmael noticed or else you would've been screwed by now."
"Still, the angelic assassin refuses to go to the underground because of all those sigils that repel him on the spot."
"Cadmael's a wild card, but he's not stupid. He now knows where you are, but you can't just run from him forever. Even though he is now in Julilla's service, he knows how to dominate his targets in which he'll fire off a warning shot to his enemies. You can duck your foes, but not those who come from Heaven or Hell. They'll follow you in which your raw power is the key to preserving the galaxy for our future that is waiting for us."
I looked out the window of the hospital as I saw Cadmael standing on top of an obelisk in which he was glaring at me for fleeing. He knew of my escape as he wanted revenge against me for my defiance towards Julilla, but I didn't care right now. When I heard my vidphone ringing, I answered it as I was about to hear the chilling words that I never wanted to stomach until now.
"You ran away, Sam," said Cadmael over the phone. "You were warned about your disobedience towards the woman you were supposed to be with, only to see that she bedded a shapeshifter in your stead who changed into your form and got you out of the way."
"That doppleganger in my likeness is in the hospital right now in which he's fighting for his life after he suffered the same fate of those that your mistress has bedded over the years," I said as I remained calm on the phone. "You won't make the same mistake twice because of the fact that there are those who are willing to shield me from your mistress' clutches."
"Julilla literally enjoyed the feel of you until I told her about how the man she bedded and recorded a sex tape of wasn't the type that was there in her bed. Therefore, I know that she's now sated the moment that Transformer's seed seeped through in her body."
"And he paid for it in which the toxin from her genitals did a number on him. You know of the Claudian tree frog, don't you?"
"It's an amphibian species that is on the verge of extinction in which it is protected by the Claudian Government as endangered. Still, you're the same way in which you are similar to the nearly extinct animals that poachers hunt and kill just to make a decent buck for their troubles. You're a rarity with the jeweled sigil that you were born with, but it was the union between your late mother of royal blood and your father that allowed it to happen. You may not know of it, but I was against your birth from the beginning until you were out in full force. The only mistake that was made so far when Sylvanus took you away to Gehenna, only to grow up in constant misery in a frozen wasteland against your wishes."
"I may have been taken away against my will to Gehenna, but being there had forged me to what I am today. Yes, I endured such cruelty from my master, but I endured it every step of the way. I'm not alone because I have my family and friends with me. They pushed me along in which they refused to back down until I picked myself up again. Without that support, I would be broken and alone. What the hell do you have? All you are is a petty angel who nurses a grudge."
I hung up the phone as I put it back into my pocket. I was in such a defiant mode as I didn't want to be anything other than the new god to those who needed me. Still, I wasn't about to fall as I had so much to do in which the Destiny of Worlds needed to happen, for it was something that still stood for the better with the future hanging in the balance…
The next morning, I was in the hospital as I began to check up on Rick in which I wanted to make sure that he was safe from harm. When I got towards his hospital room, I saw several civilian doctors going in there as I sensed that something was wrong in which I went inside to see what was going on. To my shock, I saw Rick laying in his hospital bed as he was unresponsive, but with the monitor flatlining the moment I noticed his eyes melted away. Cadmael got to him as he made good on Julilla's promise to cause harm to my friends and family in which I saw him standing from behind while he stabbed me with an angel blade until I woke up in my hotel room in a cold sweat. I had a nightmare as I wanted to rush there and see if Rick was alright or not in which I got up and noticed Reiko sitting at a table while nursing the new twins for the morning start. The sight of Zoran suckling on my wife's exposed breast was a welcoming sight as I noticed Zia fed and content while sitting in Dirk's lap while in a rocking chair by the window.
"Hey, it's about time that you woke up," I heard him say.
"I had a bad dream," I said.
"Was it about that shapeshifter friend who spared your life?" asked Reiko.
"In that dream, he was found dead with his eyes melted and after that, the angel who tried to humiliate me stabbed me until I woke up."
"Sammy, you can't let those horrible dreams get to you, alright? You're a lot better than what is anticipated to be."
"I just hope that you're right..."
Without warning, I heard footsteps approaching as I saw Reiko cover up her breast after feeding Zoran earlier. When I opened up the door, I saw Zaphra enter as she was concerned about the situation I was in. The further sightings of Cadmael were more than enough to keep all of us on edge as we all had to pull through in this time of crisis.
"There's been a problem at the hospital," she said.
"Is it about Rick Lassiter?" I asked.
"Kazuo's been abducted, but the man who did it is wanting you to surrender yourself to Julilla."
"No… If Cadmael thinks that I can give myself up to that ice queen for what she's done, he's got another thing coming."
"If you think that you can sacrifice yourself to appease that puta, then you're walking in there without backup."
"Zaphra, I know that all of you are willing to keep me out of the loop, but I won't let Kazuo die at the hands of his torturer. He may be a stern pain in the ass, but that doesn't mean that he can end up dead. I'm going there to get him out, but his abductor won't be lenient towards him when I go there."
"But you don't know where he is. How the hell are you gonna get him out of there if you can't find him in time? We all know if he is harmed, then an archangel will come forward and smite that threat if need be."
"I'll get him back, even if it means costing my life for my actions. That angel who caught Kazuo not only wants to bait me, but he bears a grudge against him for his actions during the Colony 11 incident on Saluvan. I can't leave him hanging because of the fact that Kazuo's also a prophet of the Lord."
I was aware of Kazuo's kidnapping as I had to find him in order to get him back. Even though I had a gut feeling where he was being held, I had to go there in which I had no other choice but to rescue him from his captor, for there was no turning back anytime soon…
Kazuo was tied up in a chair as he saw Cadmael punching him in the jaw. The sight of seeing the High Elf bound made the vengeful angel cackle loudly as he wanted to see him suffer for his past discretions from long ago. The setting that Kazuo was put into was an old warehouse near the pier as he saw an old seaship parked here along with some an old submarine. He knew of this place very well as he was also trying to escape his captor, for he wasn't the type that can be messed with right now.
"This place is familiar to you, isn't it, Kazuo?" said Cadmael as he got out his angel blade. "This is the Pier of Shadows due to its long history of corruption and greed in the form of commerce and other things, including religion."
"This place was also shut down by the Trostian Government in which the killing of one of this planet's chieftains was the last straw in order to do so," he said as he was struggling to get free.
"Well, do you know who else had a hand into shutting this place down?" Cadmael inched closer to Kazuo as he punched him in the face again. "It was you of all people who did so… for all the wrong reasons!"
"This place became so corrupt that the Trostian Government had no other choice but to do so. There were also some alleyway terminations to those who have either suffered rape or incest, suffer an abnormality, or having financial difficulty in which the women who suffered here ended up dead in which the Trostian Government issued a global legality for a woman's right to choose unlike Earth's."
"And you took pleasure into yanking out the innocent from the wombs of their mothers just like what happened to Colony 11 on Saluvan."
"Do I look like I take pleasure into terminating pregnancies in women who have suffered much worse in poor conditions?! I don't like performing terminations, but if several organs or brains are missing in the fetus, it won't be able to live."
"There was one miracle to someone who was born without kidneys, but-"
"Kidneys can be grown if the baby is born with Potter's Syndrome just to be included. But if the baby is growing without the other necessary organs or brain, then the suffering should be alleviated so that no one should see it out like a dying animal that's about to be put down."
"And what about the Colony 11 incident?! You were testing people who were exposed to the crystallizing plague without a cure. And your student tried to make one, but it was scrapped by his own religious mother who ordered his execution along with his girlfriend."
"That incident will always haunt me, but your Father chose me to be one of His prophets in order to carry out and redeem myself in the end. With every disease, there is always hope for a possible cure. That is what the Medical Corps does with both dignity and mercy!"
Cadmael continued to strike at Kazuo until he felt his body being wriggled around like a marionette without strings. He had no controp over his body until he saw me using my raw power to subdue him the moment he dropped his angel blade onto the floor. It wasn't long until I used my raw power to untie Kazuo the moment he was free in the nick of time.
"How the hell do you know where we were?!" shrieked Cadmael as he saw me standing in front of him. "You're not meant to become a god to have your powers to Julilla's advantage, but you'll end up dead at the hands of the Executive Division and their allies in the end!"
"You're done, Cadmael," I said as I had him pinned to the floor. "You were not only bearing a grudge against Kazuo, but you wanted to use him as bait to trap me, only to have it fail in the end."
"So, the great Sam Winchester is using his abilities to rescue a murderer or innocent children! Good luck and great job on doing that!"
"I heard all about the Colony 11 incident on Saluvan in which Kazuo saw the catastrophe in the form of a crystallizing plague that caused havoc to both the colonist and the locals. He and one of his students were working on a cure, only to have his protege murdered and the vaccine scrapped. He's borne his mental scars for a while in which your Father ended up making him a prophet, but his disbelief also caused him to endure the Brandings of God all over his body. I knew of this, but he's suffered from both his sins and past mistakes already."
"And what about the mistakes and sins that your past self made in the Elder Days?! Are you gonna scrap those as well?! And what about your Transformer friend changing into you while bedding Julilla?! She knows now that she carries his seed, but she won''t care because she'll use that pregnancy against her enemies, including you and Minara Mitani!"
I used my raw power to cause harm towards Cadmael as I had nothing but disdain for those who aided and supported the Executive Division. Drawing an angel-banishing sigil, I slammed my fist down as I watched Cadmael disappear without a trace the moment I was glowing without being fearful this time. All I wanted was to make sure that Kazuo was alive and safe the moment I noticed him all battered and bruised where Cadmael hit him earlier. Still, he was saved as he was not too happy with being captured to begin with, for this was getting out of hand already.
"You weren't supposed to be here, Sam!" he yelled.
"I had to save you or else you would've been dead by now," I said.
"You stood up to Cadmael in which he told me about the past discretions that I had a lot longer before you were born."
"You told me about the Colony 11 incident, didn't you?!"
"There were a lot of thing that I didn't tell you about. This pier was a haven and hub for alleyway terminations when there was no global law at the time, only to see many women suffering from a lot worse than what we know now. I had no other choice but to alleviate their suffering when it came to having to deal with a lack of women's rights back then."
"You went by your efforts to do the right thing and that was all. You can always confess your sins at a church or any other place, but first and foremost, let's get out of here."
And so, we got out of there as we were outside where the harbor was in which we saw a ship coming towards us. It was a familiar Draaza ship due to its handiwork and craftsmanship as it landed towards the ocean in which it carried a platoon of soldiers from the Hunter Corps. To my surprise, I noticed a familiar figure coming as it was none other than Shisui in which he was there for a reason, for he was willing to fight for the Order and those in need as well.
"Matsuo told me where you were in which we borrowed the Bernadette to get here," he said.
"Your timing is bad, Shisui," said Kazuo. "What made you abandon your Bible studies all of a sudden?"
"After Grandmother's death, we're all on edge right now. We even have to contend with those who have sold out to the Executive Division as well."
"You borrowed the Bernadette just to get here when there are travel portals in the castles that most Elders come and go in."
"If I did that, then it would be boring. I prefer the travel by spaceship than anything else in which there's a lot more to see than what we have."
"It's good to see you again, Shisui," I said.
It wasn't long until Shisui saw me in which the silver hair was something that he never saw before until now. He viewed my presence to be a godsend as he bowed in my presence in which he had to do so in the presence of a possible Messiah in the works. Even though I didn't want anyone doing any kowtowing towards me, I was slowly being revered as I was getting used to what I was put into, for I had my work cut out for me in spades. Still, being a new god wasn't bad at all as I also had my reasons to protect those in need, for there will always be those who feared me that are willing to strike me down if I wasn't careful.
"I never saw you with silver hair before until now," said Shisui.
"I bear no ill will towards you since your late grandmother gave you a good punch in the face back then," I said.
"Yeah, but her sacrifice wasn't in vain when the Order's main headquarters on Alecrast fell nearly a year ago. The gods are in our favor, but we can't just sit on the sidelines anymore."
"On your feet, Shisui." I see him obey me as he was feeling at ease. "There are reasons why a Messiah is needed, for a savior will always be in the hearts of those who believe in the end."
"I just came here to gather up you and your entourage so we can get back to Drakonus. Something's wrong indeed in which the Executive Division just went towards the Order's main headquarters there… just to destroy it!"
I was stunned to hear that as I had to comply right away. Still, we were at war as the Executive Division was most likely to be causing more hurt than normal, for the battle had gotten much worse in mind when it came to our allies getting caught in the crossfire…
