In the next night when waking from his stone sleep, Ravage went out when hearing Thailog calling for him, knowing he had to face his father again, his stomach growling from not having eaten in the past night.
Thailog and Demona were both there, Ravage entering the living room of Gen U Tech that Sevarius set up for their little 'family.' Ravage trembled all over, seeing them standing there, looking rather stern.
The dark gargoyle clone folded his arms, Ravage swished his tail as he shrunk down, Thailog beginning to speak.
"Well, my sweet cherry? Have you thought about what you have done last night?" Thailog asked in a soft deadly voice.
Ravage's eyes glazed over again, erasing his memories again a lot more, swaying a little. "Yes, please, Father. I-I won't be so gentle on… humans as much anymore…"
His body slumped from his hunger as well as the trigger hypnotic word, Demona quickly catching him, then rubbing his stomach that made a low rumble.
"I suppose you have learned your lesson enough for food." Demona purred, cupping his face in her hands.
Thailog at first was against the idea but then agreed. "Very well then. Come on, cherry."
Ravage smiled, eager to both eat and get more praise from his parents. He walked after them into the kitchen where Sevarius had his cook make some food for their special guest. Ravage sat at the table and given a plate full of meat, bread, and such.
He looked up at his 'parents,' Thailog beckoning Ravage to eat. Ravage did so, grabbing a chicken leg, ripping into it, feeling so famished. Demona watched, liking to see Brooklyn's head brought down to where he would obey any command they gave him. This was much better than an instant spell. Nobody would probably never ever break Brooklyn out of this.
Thailog folded his hands together, watching his puppet eating ravenously. "So? How is your meal, little cherry?" He crooned, Ravage looking up, swallowing down the bread he had, eyes growing glazed over again.
"Tastes good… Father…" Ravage said in a slurred voice, taking a drink of his milk, grateful he was now allowed to eat anything.
"And you won't do anything that causes you this banquet, hmm?" Thailog asked next in his slick manner, causing Ravage to swallow his food and shake his head quickly no.
Demona then had an idea, whispering softly to Thailog on how they could brainwash Ravage even further about humans. Thailog grinned at the idea, a hand on hers. "We get along so well, don't we?" He questioned silently.
He next continued to Ravage. "Ravage, in order for you to do well in your next task for me, we wish to teach you even more about humans. Goliath may have taught you what he thinks he knows, but me and Angel here know better."
Ravage twitched his ears, wondering what they could be. "Does that mean… humans are bad?" He asked softly.
Demona nodded. "Of course they are. Did your former father really implant such idiotic notions of humans being virtuous into your head, son?"
The red gargoyle tensed, his eyes moving about. Was that really what happened? His brain was so terribly fuzzy, it was hard to remember. He supposed it was true, so he nodded.
Demona got up, going over to take Ravage into her arms. "My poor dear child. Don't worry, you'll be normal again soon. We'll help you relearn our ways of dealing with those humans."
Ravage smiled into her hug, small tears coming down from his eyes while Thailog laughed silently in an evil way. He was having too much fun. "And Angel, perhaps you can be Ravage's fighting teacher whenever I am not here sometimes. What do you think?"
Demona looked about at her new acquaintance, before soon agreeing. "That sounds good. You may have been born with the ability to fight, but I was raised and trained to. It is what our little lost one needs. And Ravage, don't let those 'humans' live whenever you have to deal with them. Never." She said firmly.
Ears very flat, Ravage then nodded again. He definitely didn't want to disappoint Thailog again, willing to murder big time to please them both. "I vow to keep making you both happy." He said, his voice slowly not feeling so shy anymore, a tiny smirk on his beak beginning to reveal itself again like in his first fight with Thailog.
Thailog and Demona brought Ravage into the TV room where Sevarius found plenty of footage that featured humans at their worst. Thailog turned on the tv, Ravage curious if it would be another spiral.
But it wasn't. He gasped when he saw video footage of a war between two human nations. The video changed after to show a woman getting her purse stolen. "Help! Help!" She screamed, the man laughing meanly.
Ravage trembled, gripping the couch. He didn't know if he wanted to keep watching. Thailog noticed. "It isn't over yet, cherry. Just keep looking, and be wary of humans…"
The clips kept playing continuously, even featuring one of political arguments, that stressed Ravage out big time, humans drugging or smashing gargoyle statues that weren't alive, breaking into houses, and families arguing with one another, leading into a kid running away crying.
Ravage's eyes began to water. He didn't want to watch anymore! "Please… stop, Father, I-I can't look anymore." He croaked, heart beating wildly as he saw humans abusing animals and performing experiments on them now.
Thailog hissed quietly in his ears. "Don't stop, cherry, until I say to stop. Got it?" Ravage's eyes clouded, his head nodding zombie-like, staring almost hypnotized to the screen, his stomach bubbling up in anger from the human's antics, including some chopping down whole forests without regrowing them, women being tortured helplessly on the street, etc.
His heart thumped even further, tears pouring like rain down his cheeks. Thailog ensured he didn't look away from the screen, seeing his puppet being mentally controlled by feeling afraid of mankind. The last one was of a murder occurring to a child, which pushed Ravage over the edge, Demona smiling triumphantly. Why didn't she think to use this before?
Ravage sniffled, Thailog saying he could look away now. His anger at humans rising in his soul. "I-I hate humans!" He shrilled, his eyes glowing now rather dangerously, wanting to take his anger out on something.
Just from hearing Brooklyn saying that sent small pleasurable chills through Demona. They were so close into molding Ravage into their little drone. Goliath would soon be done for at last! She sat down, putting a wing around the saddened red male, stroking his hair. "Sssh, it will be alright, sweetie. Eventually, the world will belong to us gargoyles again, both purebred and clone alike." She winked at Thailog, who smiled back at her at the idea. Sevarius hadn't been there to hear it thankfully.
Ravage held onto Demona, his anger wanting to lash out. "C-Can we do some fight training now?"
She stroked his head. "That sounds like a wonderful idea."
Thailog smiled from it. "I'm going to scour some areas in where our son can liberate more things for me while you two have some bonding time." He said, stroking Ravage's shoulder while he glided out into the night.
Demona and Ravage walked into the gym room, Ravage feeling tingles of excitement about battling a hard core gargess like his 'mom.' She got into her fighting stance. "I'm sure that Thailog has taught you all the basic fighting moves?" She questioned, Ravage kneeling on all fours, grinning slyly.
"For sure!" He roared, charging at Angel, who instantly swerved to the side, Ravage tumbling to the ground, making him huff in anger and disappointment.
It made the gargess shake her head. "Thailog must have been a clumsy teacher."
Ravage turned, rubbing his head, eyes glowing. "He… was not!" He snarled, charging back, this time managing to kick hard at Angel, making the female stagger. Her eyes glowed red from playfulness. "It is on then!"
The two gargoyles roared, tackling each other, swiping tails, using their wings in fighting as well, even chasing each other around the room. For Demona, it really was like showing her own son how to fight fiercely, not like how Goliath would. Soon, Ravage tackled her roughly, hissing almost evilly. "Give up?" He sneered, holding up Demona by her hair.
Demona gasped aloud. "Yes, now get off!" She managed to push Ravage off of her, the red gargoyle quickly collecting himself, blushing. "Was… I ok?"
She studied his scared beaked face before bowing lightly. "I should say so. Soon, you will be ready to take on any human, my child." Demona held up Ravage's beaked face with both of her hands, making him gaze deep into her eyes. Demona was so looking forward to when Ravage would be unable to have any of his old memories anymore. Her and Thailog's perfect little slave, their protege.
