Awakening I

For millennia, they were asleep, everyone forgets they even exist, but they are still there and when the moment comes it is too late.

There are usually the questions such as Who made us? What is our purpose? What do we really want? And the answers are always the same, we always say the same things...

"I want an easy life!"

"I want money!"

"I want power... fame... I want EVERYTHING!"

Yes... everyone wants everything, yet there is a catch, you want things because you can achieve them, there are poor people that can't and you start wondering... Why do I even want that? Why nobody wants the same thing?

The easiest answer is that not even you know, you think you want those to satisfy yourself, in the end everyone is just an empty husk, you work and work and work and work and it all ends with your death... lie to yourself as much as you want, all you do is just to feel good and it is not for any kind of noble goals, have you ever asked yourself, when I give a coin to a beggar do I really want it or I do it to feel good.

In the end what is right and what is wrong?

|--:-- | ------- | ------- | -------------------------------------- |

A white room, everything is very bright, nothing can really be seen inside just human shapes, talking......

"Do we finally have the reports?"

"We did our best, in the end the only survivor is the prototype, code name: War."

"Any information about what happened thirteen years ago?"

"Officially there was an accident and the facility exploded, no survivors."

"Now tell me what really happened."

The man took a short breath and continued to talk.

"The Prototype N-05, it went berserk..."

"Hmmmm... tell me how serious this is?"

"I shall tell everything I know, but War might know better, should we bring her here?"

"First tell me what your department found."

"The Prototype N-05... it seems the experiment failed, the nano armor developed at the Z-7 facility failed to connect properly with the subject, it gave him a horrible pain to the point he went berserk and killed everyone."

"Wasn't he restrained?"

There was a moment of silence, after a few seconds he resumed the report.

"The nano armor went under his skin or better said it replaced the skin, there was an intact recording... it was quite gruesome, after that the subject gained the basic functions of the armor which made him stronger than everyone present at that moment inside the facility, they didn't stand a chance..."

"I see... bring War in."

A wall opened and through it entered a girl with medium long hair, it was half red and half black, her eyes were as red as blood, but her figure wasn't so terrifying, it was rather pleasant.

"Tell me, hat happened thirteen years ago?"

"Heh... Nothing."

"We can do this the easy way or the hard way, for me it is all the same, still I doubt even the hard way will have any effects on you..."

"If you truly want to know what happened then you will let me get that bastard."

"You are an important asset for our little, company, but alright I shall grant your wish this time."

"Then I shall tell you, that subject N-05 he wasn't normal even there, the kids brought in were all the same age as him , but for some reason he had no emotion, NOTHING, everyone would scream or cry or smile they found someone to stay with, yet he was there watching us, doing nothing but watching."

"And nobody was doing anything to him?"

"No... he was free there, he could go everywhere inside that facility, sometimes he even brought us sweets and nobody would dare question him, there were some times when they took him to a secluded zone, but i don't know much about that."

"What happened that day then?"

"Everyone heard it, a strange voice started to scream, it sounded like a monster or a demon, I was on my way to get the daily drugs they were using on us for their shitty experiments, and then a loud noise, there was so much screaming, I saw that bastard simply tearing apart the children, ripping off their heads, the arms,the legs... whatever he could catch, it was just insane..."

"Did he spare anyone?"

"My sister, he looked at her for a bit, for a moment you could say he stopped, the face he had, he seemed to feel so guilty and in such pain, but that didn't last long, he ripped my sisters arm and got outside through a wall a few seconds later."

"Your sister is Peace right, she is the other survivor we keep secret even among most of our staff members."

"Yeah..."

"You two are lucky to have survived that, alright then go and search for our little berserker and please do bring him alive if you can or at least intact, we might resume the work on that nano armor."

"I don't promise anything."

"Fine, I got no time to argue, whatever just go and find him."

|13:00 PM | Plaza | Gaia City | Supervised by the 10 Despots |

The Plaza was empty, you could only see lots of different soldiers in formation waiting for their superiors.

In the middle five generals met. They greet each other with some rather... fake smiles.

The first general is Frederick, aged fifty-seven, his past is not-well known, but every soldier and general respects him... except Jack, Jack respects nobody but the first despot. Frederick works for the fifth despot.

Age :57 / Hair: Medium, Blonde / Eyes: Blue / Weight: 108 Kg / Height: 195 cm / Powers: Overwhelming Presence, Sword of the Sun.

The second general is Timothy, this man is known for his rather unstable personality, you never know when he is going to cut your fingers or buy you a candy. Timothy works for the tenth despot.

Age: 31 / Hair: None / Eyes: Green / Weight: 86 Kg / Height: 165 cm / Powers: Duality, FlameTherapy, Water Therapy / Special Trait: Duality keeps affecting his personality which can drive him insane, but the more he uses it the stronger it gets.

The third one is Jack, he is... 'special'. Jack works for the first despot.

Age: Unknown / Hair: Gray / Eyes: Unknown / Weight: 56 Kg / Height: 150 cm / Powers: Unknown

The other two generals are brothers, yet they also work for different despots, the taller one Samuel and the other Jester, among the soldiers they are seen as the strongest team. Samuel works for the sixth and Jester for the eighth despot.

Age: S 29, J 27 / Hair: S medium black, J none / Eyes: S brown, J yellow / Height: S 200 cm, J 170 cm / Weight: S 120 Kg,J 110 Kg / Powers: Bond

Frederick is the one who started to talk about the current situation.

"It seems we are forced to come and see what happened with all the units you mobilized Jack." Frederick was not fond of Jack. he hates him for some reason.

"Yeah, do you even understand what you did, everything is in chaos, we are forced to mobilize soldiers to calm down the residents."

"It is indeed quite a problem, so much firepower, did something happen?"

Jack was silent, he looked at them and started to think. As he was standing silent the others started to laugh... except Jester.

"Just look at him, you wouldn't even believe he is a general."

"Just a waste of time, do you even know what I could have done with the time I lost today because of you?"

As they mocked him Jack told them the reason.

"Gods..."

They looked at him and started to laugh even harder, the only one that you could even consider a general among all of these was Jester which was silent and was actually trying to listen to what Jack had to say.

"Say Jack, what is about the gods?"

"They returned, Jack knows, yes Jack knows they are back, the bird and the dog are here, but they are no threat, the lizard... he is around looking for prey to gain the strength he lost years ago."

The others would simply laugh, but then...

"SILENCE!"

They stopped the irritating laughter and looked at Jester.

"You can't be serious, do you really believe this, this buffoon?"

"Come on bro, you can't be serious."

Jester was as serious as he could be, if he wasn't working for the eighth despot he might not have believed Jack, but the report he got a while back matches with the situation they are in.

"Listen here, I would really love that this would be just a prank, but unfortunately it's not, I have here a report... a few days ago there were about five thousand people missing and the numbers are growing, if what Jack says is true then we really have a big problem."

"Yes... that woman gives the first trouble, but she has her uses, Jack appreciates, but Jack despises you all, if I were not under my lords command you all would be dead, yeeesss.... dead."

They all were silent now, it seems that Jack had a good reason to mobilize so much troops, yet most of them were retreating, this was a rather strange thing after everything he said. They had more questions, but it wasn't time for them.

"Alright you little shit, we are going to bring in more troops and prepare to hunt that 'GOD', is that good with you?"

Jack was silent for a few seconds, he tilted his head and told them...

"For what? They are already coming, everyone is going back."

"What do you mean, speak like a normal being your little..."

"The four despots, they come to end the lizard."

They all looked at him with the eyes wide open.

"Di-d-d-did you say the four despots?"

"Yeeess...."
