Chapter 5: What is really inside? 

Ja widens his eyes in shock as sweat drips from his head. “So you're a monster “ he asks as he becomes more defensive. Seeing the tension rise Morales chuckles, “Relax I won the battle for my body…meaning the shaitan is dead”  he says to calm the boys down. Wiping sweat from his forehead, Ja lets out a deep breath, “thank god” he says relieved. Morales crossing his hands, “This world is twisted….A lot of things in the dark, *looks at his hand* but you don't even know the surface” he says. Ja and Ronin looking at Morales, realize that everything they thought they knew was a lie. It was all a cover up, and this world is far more dangerous. Thinking that they were untouchable turned to being vulnerable kids, just walking around in a jungle full of predators. “ I just need you boys to trust me ... .What I did in the alley was for your safety”  Morales says to them as he puts two steel, small trackers on the table. “The energy needs to be suppressed, you guys are nowhere near ready to go out on your own.” Ja picking up the tracker made of steel examines it as Morales continues explaining. “These will suppress the energy you put out, and since you have no control yet this is for the best until then” He says finishing his explanation. “So we just put it on?” Ja aks. Nodding his head, Morales tilts his head, touching his neck. “You guys weren't the only one hunted” Revealing he has a tracker as well. “Trust me…..I'm doing this to protect you” he says, Ronin and Ja contemplating both agree to putting it on at the same time, as it pulls on to their skin and disappears turning into a scar. “Thank you boys..You boys did more than help yourselves” Morales says as he gets up. Walking towards the door Morales feels someone else's energy walk into the police station. “You boys wait here” he says walking out the room. Officers pointing guns at the front door began to shout. “Stand Down!” Multiple officers yell as a man wearing all black slowly walks closer to the officers. Looking over to Morales the man smiles, as his eyes glow a bright orange. Opening his hand the man sends a force of energy knocking back all the officers surrounding the door. Officer Morgan crawling on the ground grabs his ribs. “My RIBS!” he cries as Morales' eyes begin to glow a bright red. “What do you want with these boys?” Morales asks as the man smiles menacingly. “Their souls” he replies. The man stood 6’3 wearing a black trenchcoat, pale skin color, with long black hair. Dashing over to Morales the man picks him up from his throat and slams him into the ground. Morales, grabbing his arm, tries to break his grip, but the man picks him up and throws him through a wall. The police station alarms begin to go off, as Ja and Ronin go up to the door to try, and see what's happening. Seeing nobody Ja puts his ear to the door. Listening closely he hears nothing, but the alarm. Sitting and listening, Ja then hears footsteps approaching. “Morales?” he thinks to himself. Ronin, widening his eyes, runs over to Ja, and Tackles him out the way as the door gets punched in sending it across the room. “There you are..” The man says as he reaches for Ronin, but out of the smoke Ja charges his fist, as his eye glows a bright blue, and punches him in the jaw, sending him through the two way window. Grabbing Ronin, Ja lifts him trying to carry him and begins helping him out the door. “COME ON RONIN WAKE UP '' Ja yells as he drags Ronin out the interrogation room. Getting out of the room the man pulls out a knife and walks out a door, seeing Ja and Ronin he smiles. Ja turning around in shock tries to think of something to do, But coming to a realization there is nothing he can do, he closes eyes. “Hey Ja!” Morales yells. Opening his eyes Ja and Morales make eye contact twisting his fingers Morales Uses his first wall switching places with Ja. Crouching Down Morales squeeze his fist leaving the man in shock seeing Morales where Ja was. landing an uppercut, Morales sees Ja running back to Ronin. Morales would then switch places again with Ja grabbing the man in the air and slamming him down again. “RUN!” He yells to Ja. Grabbing Ronin, Ja begins to move as fast as he can to the door, but something invisible blocks him from leaving. “Why can't I walk through?!” Ja then gets pulled back by a Lady. “Names Sytra…child” She says before throwing him into a desk. Sytra stands 6’1 pale skin color with grey hair, bright orange eyes, and sharp teeth.  Slowly walking up to him, Ja tries to crawl away. “And the man is named Roshac '' Ja getting his footing begins to run, but gets stopped in his tracks as Sytra holds her hand out stopping him. “First Wall: Gravity's hold” Ja getting lifted in the air struggles, and begins screaming in pain. “Hush child…” Sytra begins to pull the tracker off Ja neck, but she begins to struggle. Using more strength the tracker begins to come off pulling Ja skin with it. Morales, seeing Ja tries running to him, but Roshac gets up from the ground, “Second wall: OGI” Roshac then touches the metal bar, and begins to absorb the steel turning his arm into a fully steel arm. Punching Morales in the back of the head, Roshac sends him to the ground. Pinning him to the ground, Morales struggles to save Ja, and begins to yell. Sytra almost pulling the tracker off suddenly stops after a bullet was fired in her direction. Stopping the bullet she turns around to see who interrupted her. Officer Morgan pointing the gun at her begins to shake in fear. “Yoou….Your under arrest” He says as his voice cracks. Sytra smiles as she begins to twist her fingers looking at him. Picking up Morgan he begins to scream as he feels his arms being stretched, and muscles being torn. Lost in the moment Sytra smiles, enjoying every second, but forgets one thing. Ronin has woken up, activating his abilities. “Yo” Ronin says before hitting Sytra in the face with his bat hitting her Jaw clean off. Morgan falling to the ground crawls away to a cell. Ja seeing Ronin joins the fight grabbing his neck  he shrugs off the pain, and dashes towards Ronin, sliding under Sytra he punches her knee cap tearing every ligament in her knee, and breaking her leg. “AGK! STUPID CHILD” Sytra yells back handing Ja sending him to a cell. Ronin trying to catch Sytra off guard fails, Resulting in Sytra grabbing Ronin by the throat slamming him to the ground. Lifting her hand in the air her nails turn to claws, Slamming her hand towards Ronin face he dodges just in time. Ronin drops the bat, pulls on her arm, and wraps his legs around it. Putting her in an arm bar. Trying to break it he begins putting all his weight into pushing behind her elbow. Sytra getting up begins to slam Ronin against walls, and desks trying to get him off, but Ronin holding on with all his strength succeeds. Breaking her arm, Ronin tears it off from the elbow down. Sytra screaming in pain kicks Ronin in the gut, sending him across the hallway. Putting her Jaw back in place she drags her leg walking towards Ronin. “Can't save them both Morales' ' Roshac says, seeing Sytra walking towards a weakened Ronin, and a new enemy entering the facility slowly walking towards Ja. Panicking Morales begins to think of what he can do. “I have to do it” He thinks to himself, as Roshacs eyes widen. “You maniac,” Roshac says, underestimating Morales. Dashing away Roshac puts his guard up as Morales crosses his arms making an X. “Full! Contr..” Morales stops mid sentence as he feels someone touch his shoulder. “Not now, child” an older man says. Slamming his knuckles together the older man slowly separates them as a staff forms between them. “You did good,” He says to Morales. Roshac fueled with rage dashes toward Morales on the ground but is stopped by the older man staff. Spinning his staff around he hits Roshac on the ribs, face, and then sweeps his legs in a matter of 2 seconds. “Inori…” Morales says seeing his master for the first time in years. Inori standing 5 '10, has a white beard, bald head, in the perfect shape. Having eyes that appear to be blind, but being far from that, since he can predict movements 2x as fast as a regular person. Slamming his staff in the ground, It begins to change form. Starting as a short staff it changes to a long staff, covered in gold, and symbols to what look like Shaitans, and disciples. Roshac wiping blood from his mouth slowly gets up from the ground. “You cowards! YOU DISOBEY YOUR MASTER FOR MERE CHILDREN!” He yells as Inori picks his staff up, and tattoos form on the side of his head. “You're the coward trying to steal from a child” He says calmly setting his feet. Roshac pushes his hair back, smiles, and begins to laugh menacingly. “You think you can save these boys alone!” He says laughing, but Inori tilts his head in confusion. “Alone?” Inori replies. Roshac, feeling another energy coming closer to the police station, dashes over to Ja who is crawling away from another man. Trying to kill Ja, he cuts in front of the man and goes for the final hit, but to his surprise his arm is shot clean off, Following his arm, his right leg is shot off. Blood covering Ja’s face the Bigger man tries to quickly get to Ja, but his head is blown off. Roshac seeing everything unfold screams Sytra name. 

Ronin backing up into a wall covers his face as She raises her hand. Hearing her name called, Sytra turns around for a second seeing nothing happen. Turning back around she gets picked up by the throat. “Names Yukon, White hair” Yukon says to Ronin, punching Sytra he sends her flying down the hall into a wall. Yukon stands 6 '5 big brawny build. Wearing a sports team jersey, black shades, and boots, He crouches down, and pats Ronin on the head. “You got potential sport…Now let's go save your brother.” Getting up he slowly walks towards Sytra putting her in a panic. `` Now let's not make this messier than it needs to be''. Sytra opening her hands screams trying to hold him where he is using her first wall: Gravity hold, but it isn't effective. Walking through the force he raises his eyebrows. “This is all you got!…*Picks up Sytra by her neck* I'm not even using my first wall” he says confidently grabbing his shoulder, he pushes her torso down as he holds her by the neck. Screaming Sytra tries to punch him in the face, and body. Yukon, not feeling anything almost as his body was made of steel, continues Ripping her head off as he smiles menacingly, blood covering his face he tosses the head in front of Roshac who tries to crawl away.  Roshac seeing her head roll he gets on his back as someone wearing a cowboy hat comes out the shadows smoking a cigar. “How long have you been here Arkham?” Yukon asks, as Arkham flicks the cigar. Blowing out the smoke Arkham unloads his revolver. “About two minutes,” he says. Arkham stands 6 '2, wears an all black trench coat, and a cowboy hat with a slit on the right side of the hat. Having a full grown beard, with multiple scars on his face with the most prominent one going down his left eye.  His right eye glows a bright orange, and his left eye a bright red. Inori, Arkham, and Yukon standing next to each other look down at Roshac, as his arm and leg slowly grow back. “Those boys will be his….he will get them” He says. Inori tilting his head “who will get them?” Inori asks. Roshac chuckles “Aza…” getting shot in the head before saying his name. Arkham looks at Inori and Yukon. “Were we trying to listen to him?” he asks them as they both look at him. Inori unamused, and Yukon in shock. “You never change Arkham” Inori says walking over to Morales who comforts Ja and Ronin. “Aza?....nothing rings a bell” Inori thinks to himself. Walking away Yukon, pulls out his phone, begins to call someone. “ Dr.Phobos we’re ready to have you, '' he says. Walking up to the boys, Inori crouches down, and smiles. “You boys did amazing….sorry we couldn't get here sooner.” Ja, and Ronin looking at him get behind Morales. Inori, smiling, grabs Morales' shoulder “Well it seems the boys have grown an attachment to you” he says. Morales looks at the boys, and back at Inori nods his head. “Well then you can train them, and polish them up ... .We don't know when the next attack will be, or if it will even happen.” he says. Getting up he  walks over to Roshac, as his body begins to fade away into a dust-like substance. “Shaitans…What is so special about you boys” Inori thinks to himself as his curiosity grows, looking at Ja and Ronin.
