"We all came into this world with some kind of purpose in life, something we believe in, but I came without a reason, lies we I have fed for whole life, in n a world in which there is so much to interest, so much to enjoy, and so much also to correct and improve, everyone who has this moderate amount of moral and intellectual requisites is capable of an existence which may be called enviable; and unless such a person, through bad laws, or subjection to the will of others, is denied the liberty to use the sources of happiness within his reach, he will not fail to find the enviable existence. The natural proclivity of humanity is towards selfishness, apathy and violence. Only a select few people manage to rise above their base nature to become something better, but the kernel of darkness is still in the blood. Perhaps it's true what they said- 'Heavy is the head that wears the crown.'"
"By the Aether's name, our savour and creator. We have all have gather here in Caledonia to crown our real ruler—"
Inside the shiny palace, the coronation ceremony has conducted, while everyone at respective places, the Being with hooded crimson cloak standing in the centre, announced the Royalists,
"Akagi Shinsuke. I am hereby proclaiming you, the 19th Mutant Emperor!"
...
Few days ago, ...
After Akagi's confirmation, Mike Gustav aka. Mikoto Mayumi climb up the stairs, with an empty mind opened the door. Beyond shock, with over-extent eyes saw Misaki Mayumi, his beloved twin sister, sitting right next to him.
"....!... Ah!"
"What....the.... Fuck!?"
They both sucked a breath as if they saw a ghost from their pasts that caused a heart attack.
Unlike Mikoto, his sister Misaki did not know he existed, for those years she had known he died in the slave factory. Yet here he is, well alive.
Mikoto feared this family reunion wound not end happily.
But surprisingly. After few minutes passed, Mayumi siblings settled down perfectly without engaging outright violence, they were too mature, too dignified to act such as a way. Mikoto peacefully sit down beside Misaki, made a stable conversation, exchange the updates, strictly professional stuff like their recent background that would help their 'Benefactor': Misaki Mayumi, the, dominant Mafia Queen, Mikoto, the callous ruthless Mutant working for mutanic separatist group. Excluding all the family affairs and turmoil they have been through.
"I see. So, you are working the Helecters for those years. Some fucked up shit, huh? How many years have been? 16? 18? Are we still doing this? Pretend we don't know each other; have you been recognised me? Or you expect me to act as a little more professional? Devoid from any feelings or compassion."
Mikoto stayed silent, despite Misaki's relentless grudging mockery, made a cold, dismissive remarks, become emotional every moment, Mikoto got nothing to say, ironically back when they were kids, Mikoto was outgoing, isn't very good at studying or anything school related, and always has time for fun, was emotional and compassionate. His twin sister Misaki, by contrast, was somewhat introverted, always scores high grades, and works constantly even if she doesn't need to. She wasn't always the cold the logical one like she is today though she never liked melodrama, especially there is anything to do with family affairs, while Mikoto was quite now its the opposite.
"Sigh... Hmm...."
Mikoto exhaled the deepest and longest breath of his life, prepared himself, before revealing where he was.
"Misa. I know you are pissed and you have every right to be. Nor I am justifying my action."
"Yeah, no shit!"
"But before that. Could you listen to me just for few minutes. I know the time is short so I be quick."
With his proposal, Misaki thought about it for a while, finally she nodded.
Mikoto smiled a little. And started—
Apparently Misaki's twin brother Mikoto Mayumi has said killed during the escape in Spectre's weapon factory, which is false, he still very much alive when Misaki escaped, and fighting over however as a child he did last long, taken many injuries, at blink of collapse, he frantically consumed couple of Spectre's officer at once thus loss control over his body, any 'Higher Mutants' went out of their control or absorbed too much Biotium beyond their capabilities. They will essentially boil down to: all-but-savage creatures from another dimension whose true bodies are completely immaterial, glowing red eyes, glowering face razor-sharp teeth, malevolent Noryoku manifestation and whose physical forms can warp into horrible abominations when their emotions get the better of them. In ages past they considered humans essentially insect or livestock and cultivated them with such finesse that people never even realised that their lives were manipulated by supernatural apex predators from birth to death. Mikoto went berserk killed every standing officers at sight along few remaining children whom he supposed to protect.
After Spectre's reinforcement finally apprehend berserk Mikoto, tortured him for while, caged him like an animal, along a branding iron, rigged over the right side of his face, brutally disfigured him, made a horrible scar that looked like a twisted tattoo regardless he was only preteen years.
After couple of months the Spectres decided execute Mikoto, which they attempted to as empty field before burning all remaining slave children alive who tried to escape, Mikoto was beyond shock and terrorized for seeing extreme act of violence and cruelty against mere children, but more shocking when Spectres told what Mikoto did when he was on berserk, Mikoto was ready to die before Ogomi disguise as one of the Spectre's officers killed all remaining members and rescue Mikoto from certain death.
Later Ogomi explained to Mikoto about creating an organisation of Mutants, as young as Mikoto, he did not understood anything hence went on refusing Ogomi, however Ogomi did not bothered Mikoto's refusal seriously because he kidnapped him, and straight away brainwash him by help from the Doctor Freddie, giving him a new name as Mike Gustav, with Mikoto having no memory about his past he became a devoted to Ogomi and the new Helecters organisation, at the age of 13 he first met and recruited Juzou at the fighting arena, went on carrying Helecter's missions successfully, year later, he somehow snapped out the brainwashing and regained what Ogomi had done and what he had became.
In rage, when he violently confronted Ogomi, but he proposed, claiming her sister Misaki is safe as she with Friendo's cell in yellow zone, he also claimed he was one who contacted and recommended Friendo's about Misaki to recruitment. Gave them her last know location, due to this, Friendo's men was able to find her in the beach in first place.
Ogomi lastly promised to Mikoto, she will continued to be okay if Mikoto resume working with the Helecters organisation, helpless Mikoto agreed to Ogomi's terms and became a member of the organisation willingly Mercilessly murdered anyone, along with Helecters, commits countless acts of terrorism and other atrocities, for the safety of his twin sister, Misaki.
After finishing Mikoto's side of the story, an aura of silence gripped Misaki's conscious, too jaded to answer but she replied softly,
"Not only we have a contrasting personality, now their appearance looks different. After all these years I still don't understand you."
"Huh?"
"I am joking..."
Misaki sighed, with a little radiant smile. Response to Mikoto's excuses.
"But it doesn't mean you are not a selfish, self-centred scumbag... Although it doesn't mean I discarded you, I supposed to be get used it: awful things happening to innocent people, drove their lives into enteral torment, twisted backstories giving them a reason to angst, good and evil becoming less obvious, and the world keeps becoming much bleaker."
"Y-you mean?"
Mikoto's eyes widened with a glimmer of hope as he glanced at Misaki's face.
"Hmm. Before you start rambling about my grey hair, or my appearance or my work."
Misaki nodded maturely and sensibly, without lashing out, something she used to do
"What's done is done. I don't see a reason for us to angst about. Let's forget about what happened focus on the current objectives right now, think about how to fix this shit up without turn our backs with each other again, alright, Mikoto?"
She smiled, stepped out of the bed, full of warmth forward her hand, formed a truce with sisterly love, something what Mikoto desperately lacked for all those years.
Mikoto on the other hand was speechless, confused what to respond to her forgiveness after all he put Misaki through.
"Thank you."
He held her hand, deeply grateful inside, finally reunited with his only family, just before he began to sob like a baby. Tomita entered the room.
"We need to go. All set and done."
"Where?"
Mikoto asked with confusion. Which Tomita Mitsumasa said with a wry smirk.
"Lord Shinsuke have a plan to enter the capital city of RMS. Through the Scavenger Zone."
