Me: Why have you sent me here?
Maragi: We've a contract to make. I'm also here to tell you some prophecies & revelations. If you sign this contract you are bound to twist this dark and twisted future. If not, then it is all apart of "his" plan and he is far smarter than the both of us.
Maragi: The path you're headed, nuh uh uh things are not looking so good.
He said that in a taunting voice.
Me: Him? Who's him?
Maragi: I cannot tell you that yet, not until you've endured enough hardships to shift towards becoming nihilistic.
Me: WHY ARE YOU HIDING THIS FROM ME! WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING TOGETHER!
Maragi: That may be true, but if I tell you who he is, you might just give up on life as a whole.
Me: TELL ME!
Maragi: Ha, no. Let me just tell you this right now, there are people FAR stronger than Cyan. He is merely the beginning. Although I can tell you who 2 are. And where.
(What the fuck, this is so out of nowhere!)
Maragi: First up, we have… Kage, The Armorless Knight.
Me: I think I might've heard a few legends about him..
Maragi: Yeah, well, the only way to get to Kage is through time travel.
Me: Huh?? That's not even possible!
Maragi: It most definitely is. There is something vital you are forgetting that keeps on happening, you just can't quite put your finger on it..
Me: Aw, screw you! Anyways, how strong is he, exactly?
Maragi: He has a whole realm to himself. I can only tell you the name of it.
Me: And that is?
Maragi: The Curatoria. When you do end up time traveling, he will be a friend at first. You will be transported to a little before The Curatoria, Nova. I CANNOT tell you what Nova is just yet. I apologize.
I sighed.
Me: I understand.. Who is the other guy?
Maragi: His name is.. Masataka, Seal of The Soul. He guards the soul of his master, whom is somebody I cannot tell you anything about. As for the location.. he's right here, in The Tenebris. Infact… he's in the next cell. He is your neighbor.
Me: WHAT?! WHY IS HE HERE?? HOW STRONG DO I HAVE TO BE TO HAVE A CHANCE AGAINST HIM?
Maragi: Because i've captured him.
(Who exactly is this guy??)
Maragi: To have even a slight chance, you MUST get your original form back. The form that was never realized because Kurutta forsakened you.
Me: Is it really that powerful? My only powers are Hell Energy & Black Lightning, it can't be that strong..
Maragi: It sure is. With your original form, you're able to fly without wings, consistently wrap your weapon in Black lightning and use high Humanus Level attacks.
Me: Humanus? Is it like Destructio?
Maragi: That is the second level of a Destructio. The max Destructio level is 99, after that being a Humanus 1.
Me: I was never told this by anybody!
Maragi: Because only Power Kings and Forsaken Ones utilize Humanus.
Me: Wait, so you're telling me my original form has the strength of a Power King?!
Maragi: Yeah. You're gonna use the strongest weapon in the universe, The Chaos Blade.
Me: The Chaos Blade?
Maragi: I have it. I'm holding it. I can't give it to you until you're able to withstand the power of even holding it.
He pulled The Chaos Blade out of a portal and held it out to me.
Me: It's a black blade!
Maragi: This is the most power weapon to ever exist in the universe, right here. When you regain your original form, then, and only then, will you learn the true name of Chaos Blade.
Me: Can you please tell me the first step to learning how to handle my original form?
Maragi: Well, I can give you The Chaos Blade and you'll instantly regain it, you will have not a single ounce of control though.
Me: Yeah, i'm not doing that.
Maragi: Well then, you'll have to learn the form that i'll call.. Kamen.
Me: Kamen? As in mask?
Maragi: That's exactly right!
He threw 2 Wakizashi at me.
Maragi: These will be your weapons. They're called Romeo & Juliet. Take good care of them, please.
Me: Alright alright, I will. What do I have to learn to master this "Kamen" form?
Maragi: Train to wrap your weapons in Black Lightning, it seems like a small change but it is VITAL to handling the power of your original form. Now for the Kamen part, conceal your face in a mask of Hell Energy. If you do it correctly, the part on your mask where the eyes would be should be glowing white Hell Energy so you could see. Doing this allows for a higher Destructio output, since Hell Energy will be constantly flowing from your head. Do you remember Tyger's white jacket?
Me: I do.
Maragi: There's a Forsaken One logo on the back of it. If you wear that while in Kamen, Hell Energy will flow out of there which will passively hurt the enemies' Destructio levels.
Me: Huh. Interesting.
Maragi: If you master the Kamen form, you will be able to consistently deliver Destructio Level 50 or above attacks. And surely, you will be able to handle your original form. Oh, and one more thing. Master Kamen, and you can become Seraph for a brief moment. By that, I mean you will grow 6 wings and become a black lightning monster.
Me: Woah… what the fuck..
I sat there to think about everything he just said for a few seconds. This seems too good to be true.
Me: How do I know that you're telling the truth? Who even are you?
Maragi let out a chuckle.
Maragi: I'm you, Mazoku. I am you from a timeline where you endure every single hardship imaginable. With my guidance, it should be impossible for the same outcome to happen in this timeline. Any other questions?
Me: Huh?? You're.. me..?
Maragi: Yep.
Me: I'm so.. lost.. what the hell…
I shook my head really fast trying to snap out of it.
Me: Anyways, WHO IS THE THIRD FORSAKEN ONE?!
Maragi let out a maniac laughter.
Maragi: HAHAHAHAHA, I can't tell you! Or else you would be headed down the path I went! Once you defeat Kage then maybe i'll consider telling you my life story..
Me: Can I go back to the real world now?
Maragi: Hold on, there's a few quick things we have to discuss first.
Me: Alright, alright.
Maragi: Sign this contract as I tell you the final prophecy.
He threw papers at me.
As I read the contract about saving the world, he told me the final prophecy..
Maragi: The final prophecy.. is your death, Mazoku. You will die in your final battle with Cyan, around a year from now. However, if you follow my directions carefully, you can alter fate; destiny.
Me: I knew that. It's just a matter of getting my original strength.
I looked up.
Me: You aren't going baby me, Maragi. But I will allow a few directions.
Maragi: Okay, I won't completely guide you. HOWEVER, you NEED to follow the important directions. Or else, it may result in a death or two.. From here on out, your battles will be far tougher and you need to be far stronger to stand a chance against your opponents. Yamato will not hold your hand forever, you know!
Maragi starts maniacally laughing..
I wrote my signature on the contract.
Mazoku Akuma
