[In the past]
[Warm Hearts Graveyard. July 12, 2041.]
The sky is dark grey and it's raining heavily. A small child stands infront of a stone cross planted into the ground. A woman with blond hair was holding his hand. The location the two of them were was inside a graveyard.
A small van drives out of the graveyard leaving the two alone.
A villainous voice talks to the small boy, "Kekeke!".
The voice leaved a thrilling felling in the boys body.
"Your father.. is he dead?", the voice asked.
"Huh?", the small child questioned the voice.
"Is your father dead?", It asked once again.
"Yeah,.. he is dead", The boy answered.
While laugh the demonic voice chat, "Ahahahaha.. how pathetic".
"Pathetic.. how?", He asked.
"He was killed by a car wasn't he? That is a pretty pathetic way to die. I wonder if he went to hell", The voice taunt.
Tears started to form in the kids eyes. They flow down his face as a waterfall. The voice's words hit him in the heart.
With a unwavering voice, it replied, "Oh, I didn't meant for you to cry to little baby. Kekeke...".
Tears continue to run down the kids face, "Who are you? Why are you doing this?".
"Who am I? Well, maybe a demon, a reincarnation of your sins or something of your imagination. And why am I doing this. Because what can I do. Hahahaha", The being ended it's torture with a evil laugh.
The child turned his eyes behind and say something his little mind couldn't comprehend. It was pale, but faint version of him. Same looks and everything, only thing it didn't have color.
"What's.. your name?", The child asked.
The copycat was confused, "Why do you need that?".
"..I-I don't know", He answered.
"Hmph, Ezil", The voice said.
" What?", The boy was confused by it's response.
"..My name is Ezil", Ezil repeated.
The child is Ken, when he was younger and the world didn't transcend into chaos. Yet, that is.
The being that tormented Ken was something no one couldn't understand. It said things that he didn't know about. He mom told him about heaven, but she didn't say anything about hell.
A image flash pass Ken's eyes. A image of burnt down and over grown cities.
How was he able to foresee the future?
As Ken mind wondered though it's innocents; a faint voice called out for him.
"..Ken?", It was his mom.
"Ken are you alright?", With a worried, but calming voice she asked.
Ken mind was fixed back to his sad reality, "Yes mommy".
She lifted him and hugged him with her wet arms, "Let's go home".
"..."
[New York City. August 21, 2046]
The day where it all began.
"Scientist has been finding methods to repopulate the lack tree's".
"In a few years oxygen will be low".
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
Humanity had used too much of their natural resources.
"It's talking too long to grow them, we need to find a different method".
At that day Project: Newer Pastures; was made.
"Project: Newer Pastures is our hope for humanity".
They were trying to find a quick way out of their mess.
They created plants that could grow faster than usual. What could repopulate the oxygen.
"The project was completely success!".
They had found away to clean up their mess.
But they got too curious.
"What if we could reduce the irregular amount of carbon dioxide in the air?".
They did what they did before. Ask for help from mother nature.
And again she succeeded.
"The project once again was a success!".
But this time with a price.
[New York City. November 30, 2046]
In a span of three months, the world transcend into overpopulation of nature.
Ken walked down the streets of New York by himself. The buildings are burnt down and everywhere has been taken over by nature.
He walks pass the moving grass and towards a path with bushes lending up towards a hill.
They created plants that had a mind of it's own. A new type of species.
"The project... wasn't a success..".
After that everything went downhill.
"They have escaped our containment!".
The new species had escape..
"Multiple dead body reports has been reported world wide".
.. and they were bloodthirsty.
Unknowingly, scientist had created a carnivore specie.
"Footage of a flower was found eating a cow on a farm!!"
They wanted revenge.
"They are growing".
Humanity had soon made a name for them.
Akumas.
"..."
Soon they were everywhere.
And now..
"..."
..They are nowhere.
Lucky for a few Korean was about.
They had created shuttles to contain there equipment.
Asia was the main industry for robotics and that's why they had to keep it safe. But they also had to keep their race safe.
The Korean leaders made renovations for a new temporary home.
But only the luckiest ones found themselves in one.
"..."
Ken is hiding behind a wall. He lift his head to peak out from behind it.
Behind the wall was a large carrot with tentacles below him, allowing it to move. The carrot turned it's head towards the direction of Ken. A large hole appeared in its core.
Inside was multiple stored dead bodies. Ken felt sick looking at the abomination. The monster started to approach the 10 year old child.
"..."
Ken who's father had died in a car accident and mother who died by been infected by a akuma, ventured through the unforgiving world.
Ken on his way up the hill found a dead corpse on the ground, being eaten by worms.
Ken's belly roared at him. Ken hod his stomach with his hand and then looked back at the body.
"..."
In a house on top of a hill, Ken slumbered on top of a mattress. He was eating worms that he had picked out from the dead body.
He slept by himself in the lonely small house.
"..."
Ken woke up with a feeling of uneasiness. His throat was burning and it felt like something was crawling from out his throat.
He purposely cough trying to if want ever was in his throat would come out, but it didn't.
Suddenly blood rushed out of his mouth. The blood stained the mattress as he continued vomiting out blood.
"..."
The next day, Ken was in the city searching for food.
"Hopefully I can find something good to eat", The child said to himself.
He entered a grocery store. The bell on the door alarmed Ken. Before he entered he check from outside to see if anyone or anything was inside.
He entered after seeing no one in their. Sadly the palace was looted. But lucky for Ken, he found few can food on the floor.
He took some up with his hands unable to take up everything, cause he didn't carry a bag.
"I'm a idiot. I wasn't expecting to find so much though", Ken said out loud to himself.
Before he leaved with what he could carry he decided to enter the staff room. He opened door which printed "Staff Only".
When he opened the door, only thing Ken could see was darkness.
Even though he couldn't see anything he march on inside the black abyss.
The door suddenly closed behind him, leaving him blinded in the black room. He turned his head to look were the door once was. He continued walking around the black room.
He heart was filled with fear. But he didn't know why he still went on. It was as if something was pulling him.
"Hey Ken..", A voice called out.
Ken jumped up. He was startled by the voice.
"Ezil?!", Ken asked.
"Who else?", Ezil said.
Ken whined to Ezil, "You scared me".
"..You better stop shouting", Ezil said, changing his tone.
"Why-", Ken voice was cut off.
Ken was strapped in the stomach by a sharp object. The object slowly slide out of his body, making Ken fall to his knees.
Ezil came near Ken hears and whispered softly, "That's why..".
Ken started to cough out a pool of blood from his mouth. He looked at the dark floor. He was able to see his own blood glowing in the darkness.
He felt a enormous and unbearable pain washing over his entire body.
Ken used all his remaining strength to get up on his feet. He started to run mindless.
Another sharp object cut off his arm from behind. After the heavy attack Ken fell to the ground.
He started to feel many sharp objects strapping through his back. He grinned his teeth, trying to ignore the pain.
Ken soul let up and he dropped his head on the ground. He started cry knowing he is dieing.
Ezil watched from a far. Seeing his host get brutality beaten bring a uncontrollably joy to it's empty and sinful heart.
"Hahahah!!", He started laugh, seeing how pathetic Ken was.
Ken body then let out, allowing him to die.
A vine stabbed through his body, lifting him in the air. The monster swallowed him whole and they went back to slumber.
"..."
Ken, who was being digested in the belly of a plant lay lifeless. Even though he was dead, memories gathered in his head.
The days were the sky was blue and wasn't grey. The days were his mother and father would hold his hand and won't scary him while he slept.
The days were he didn't leave in constant fear. The days were.. he was happy.
"Too bad you aren't getting those", The voice of Ezil spoke.
Ken turned his head towards Ezil, "Leave me alone".
"That's impossible", Ezil said.
"Why?", He said while sobbing.
"Because I'm bound to you idiot", Ezil told Ken.
Tears rapidly flow down Ken cheeks, "Why can't you do anything good for me in once in your life", Ken whined.
"Hmm, you want me to do something good for you in once in my shitty life. Okay".
"..."
.
.
.
Ken woke up in the same place we he died. He was surrounded by a pool of blood.
His body felt normal and active. He got up to his feet.
His vision had somehow enhanced. He was able to see the Akumas walking through the darkness. He looked at his arm and saw that it was still there.
The monster turned their head towards Ken also able to see him. tentacles grew from the stems of the Akumas.
After seeing those monsters Ken heart started to beat faster than usual. Not in fear, but in rage. He wanted to make those Akumas fell his wrath.
His thirst for their lives grew. He had a unsatisfied bloodlust.
"There you go Ken. I did you a favor. Now.. do give me one", Ezil said.
In Ezil's hands was a crowbar. He had it to Ken.
"Give me a show..", He said.
The Akumas charged towards Ken with tentacles sticking out towards him.
He clinched the crowbar in his hands tightly.
One of Akumas tried to attack Ken. He lift the crowbar in the air and chapped off the vine of the monster.
Dark green liquid started running out the limb of the monster. Ken then slashed the monster in half from left to right.
He felt on unusual strength and dexterity in his body.
Ken went on a killing rampage. He brutality and unrealistically cut and wound the Akumas with the crowbar.
He let out a deep sigh feeling a little relief, but his heart was still aching for more revenge.
"..."
[The next morning.]
After on hour Ken and the entire store was painted in dark green blood.
Ken was in the midst of all it.
"Hehe", Ezil laughed.
He walked out of the place holding a bag of food. With his bloody and dirty hands he was eating one dry bread.
He walked around the overgrown city, with his untidy clothes.
In the distant, Ken could see and army of vehicles driving towards him. Despite seeing the potential danger, he continued up the road.
The vehicles stopped infront of the young boy covered in blood.
Two troops stormed out of one the vehicles and pointed their guns at the boy.
They looked at the boy with worried eyes, but still threatened the boy with their weapons.
One of the men shouted from across the road, "Stand down kid!".
Ken continued to walk even though threatened by the soldiers.
From one of the vehicles infront a man with a black suit, tie and dark glasses came out. He walked up the unabiding boy.
When he was up close to the boy he asked, "Are you a human?".
Ken didn't answer the man.
"Tsk", the man took out a pistol and pointed it at the boy, "Are you a human".
A imitating aura surrounded the man when he does words.
After sometime Ken felt fear conquering him. Sweat fell down his face. He didn't have the courage to look into to the man eyes so he looked down and cracked road.
"Y-yes", He answered.
The man had put Ken in his place.
The man put back his pistol and said to the boy, "Your coming with us. Follow me".
"Okay", Ken comp
lied.
He followed the man back to the black and big vehicle which he came from.
The soldiers didn't question the man headed back in their truck.
They continued on their journey.
"..."
[In the present.]
Ken opened his eyes in eyes to seeing Syria and Cyan over him.
"Are you okay", Syria asked.
"Yeah... Just remembering some forgotten memories.", He answered.
