He is now outside, breathing in the fresh and glittering air. He sighed as he looked at his blade. “You’re chipped, baby. I should probably get you fixed.” He said to himself as he looked for a sword repair shop.
A few minutes of looking go by as he spots one, Ark’s Sword Repair store. It said on the sign, Rage went over to it, it was open so he opened the door and came in. He saw the owner. He was shocked. The owner was 7’7, Red hair with black fade tips drooping on the ends of his hair while the yellow stripes on the front parts of his hair waved across. He had wolf ears, devil horns, a devil’s tail and a wolves tail. Red and Yellow eyes, a crescent moon in his right, glowing yellow, while in the other was a heart with a diamond looking line going through it, the heart was black and the line was red, both were glowing. He had a black and red scythe and a black and red sword. A breaker sword.
Rage was nervous, he could sense the power emanating from this being. The owner spoke up. “You coming for a repair?” He spoke in a deep, serious tone. One that shoved ripples through Rage like a Semi-Truck. He noticed that the owner had a mask, a Kitsune fox. It was wrapped around his head, he had a black and red hat too, a chain, half a gas mask, a melting halo that probably never stops melting but nothing ever drips. He had a coat, a big black coat, spiked shoulder pads, armoured boots, sleeves, retractable knife blades in his gloves, this guy had danger written all over him. “Y-Yeah, i do.” Rage stuttered as he was stricken with fear. “Keep calm.” Rage thought as he placed his Katana down on the counter. “I would like it upgraded and repaired. Highest level please.” Rage spoke with confidence so he could hide his fear. The owner grabbed his blade and went into another room.
30 minutes later, he came back out. “Here ‘ya go, sir. She’s brand new.” The Owner said with such mightiness. “Rage was it?” The owner followed up with. Rage stumbled back with his blade in his hand, how’d he know his name? It didn’t make sense. “Y-Yeah it is, why?” Rage replied with fear creeping out his voice. “My name’s Ark, as you could gather, you never mentioned your name. Yet i got it. I’m the king of hell in this realm. One of Lucifer’s three Kin. Born from a angel. My brother. Neon. Shares the position of God with my sister, Hara.” He ranted. Rage just listened, not trying to anger him. “You’ve got yourself involved with some deep shit, Rage. I’m gonna test if you’re worthy of being part of it.” Ark spoke as he grabbed his sword off his back. He teleported in front of Rage, he slashed at Rage’s head but Rage managed to dodge. Rage ran out the store as he saw the exit out of the city.
He sprinted as fast as he can to the exit, he just got there as Ark kicked him in the back. Rage went flying into a tree, breaking his left arm, Rage screamed in pain, tears filled his eyes as Ark pointed his sword at Rage’s neck. It was life or death. Rage picked up his blade as he sliced off Ark’s arms. Ark looked unfazed as he smirked. “Welcome to the team, Rage.” He healed his own arm and Rage to full. He teleported Rage to HQ. Rage was in shock. “W-What is this place?!” He demanded to know, 3 people stared at him, a kid, only 14, ginger with blue eyes that could blind someone. A robot, he had a big sword beside him and another teenager, He looked impressed that a human could make it here. The kid spoke up. “Welcome to HQ, Rage. I’m Joe! I’m the co-leader, the robot there is IX and the teen is Xavier!” He said with glee as he stared deeply into Rage’s eyes. Ark chuckled as he sat down.

“There’s more of us. It’s just us five at the moment, the others will be back.” Ark said while he let out a big sigh. “Joe. Show him around please. IX, go with them too.” They got up, grabbed Rage and started showing him around. Ark turned to Xavier. “Son, any news on Error, Flay, Deacon or Puppet master?” Ark asked. “No news on Error, deacon and puppet. But we have news on Flay. Her decoy in Denthowe was destroyed. By the newbie.” He replied with a hint of boredom. “The newbie did it?! I-“ Ark was shocked, he couldn’t believe it. A human beat Flay’s decoy and lived. “He’s definitely strong, for a human at least.” Ark whispered. “Keep an eye on him, make sure to train him and upgrade his arsenal, he’ll be useful.” Ark said after he got up and went to find someone. Xavier teleported to his room, landing on his boyfriend’s lap. His boyfriend, named Mako, gave his Boyfriend a hug after he just teleported in his lap.
He had bitten nails and painted fingers. “Hey, baby.” Mako said to Xavier. “Mmm. Hey, Hun.” Xavier replied as he kissed Mako’s head. Mako was a cute, gentle femboy. But he’s strong. He’s a shark-leopard-Human hybrid. Bred in a lab. He was found by Xavier a few months ago, starving and alone. They quickly bonded and started dating, now. Their having plans of being married. Ark loves Mako like a son. Neon, he’s the cool uncle and Hara is the amazing auntie. Mako loved Xavier more than anything, Xavier loved Mako more than anything. Mako is 16 while Xavier is 17. They met when Mako was 15 and Xavier was 16. Rage came back into the room with the table, everyone was gone, Joe and IX stopped behind him. “They must of left. Oh well.” He said under his breath. “So. What’s special about you, Joe?” He turned to Joe. “I’m the last of my Race, Clan, People. I’m an eldritch. The most powerful person in this realm.” He replied with hints of sadness. “I was there when the killer murdered my race. I was powerless. I couldn’t do anything. I bear the weight and guilt of it.” He also said. “I feel you.” IX spoke up, his voice-box was glitchy and some what broken, he didn’t care though. He was still standing, his wife appeared behind him, clinging to his shoulders and back. “Hey, Shin.” He said to her. She had a name-tag, “Shinota :).” It said, Rage was so confused by this point but knew not to question it. “Do you have someone, Rage?” Joe asked with politeness.
“No, last person i had died and the last person i loved.. he died too.. my greatest friend.. my mentor.. my father..” he nearly broke down when those words came out his mouth. The Three comforted him. Ark was walking around, in the mountains as he opened a futuristic door, His brother was inside, right in front of him. “Hey, Brother.” Ark said. “Hey, Brother.” He replied. They embraced in a hug. “Any new intel?” He asked. “Yeah, we found the location of Flay and Deacon.” He hastily told Ark in response. “Give me the one on Deacon, I don’t care about Flay right now, give that one to Rage. Our newbie.” He smiled at his brother. The only time he smiles.
