"The mind is truly a fascinating place. In the mind lies our dearest memories. Our hopes, dreams, all the things we cherish. .It can also carry memories that we have forgotten but it still carries them for us. However, it is also where we keep our greatest fears. The mind holds lies we've told ourselves to keep us whole. To stop us from accepting the truth. Once we clear these lies from our mind what becomes of us? Will you become a better person from this or will your heart sink into darkness? It is uncertain which will happen as most things are in life. All we can do is hope as we often do for a better future."
—————Dr.Psyicaltion
The battle to bring Jack back rages on. The team fights back against Jack's mind guardians.
Sierra punches through the head of the shadow Mr.Clockwork. However, his head reforms and he multiplies into 10 more Clockworks.
"I don't have time for this, I've got to find the others."
She said as the Clockwork clones surround her. She backflips over them and rolls backward. The clones all turn around to face her. Sierra jumps through the roof. When she lands back down however the floor feels different. Rain is pouring down from the sky. Sierra stands all the way up as she sees she's standing on a sidewalk. She begins to walk forward looking around. When she hears something in an alleyway. She turns her head and starts to walk into the ally. She sees someone in a hood placing something down wrapped in a blanket.
"Who are you?!"
She shouts as the person doesn't respond. She sees the person stand up and walk away from where they had placed down what they were holding.
"Wait."
Sierra said as she ran to where the person was. Sierra lost sight of the person as she heard something moving around next to her. She looked down at what the person had placed down and it appeared to be a person. She knelt to see who it was. When she looked down she saw Jack's face.
"Jack I found you."
She said as she tried to place her hand on his shoulder. However, it went straight through him.
"What?"
She said looking at her hand. She looked closer and saw that this Jack was younger and smaller. The young Jack moved a bit and opened his eyes. He stood up as Sierra continued to watch. The young Jack looked around and he felt the top of his head. He felt a hat, pulled it off, and looked at it. He held it close to his chest as he walked through the alley. When suddenly a door opened and a light shined into the alley.
"This is a memory."
Sierra said as she continued to watch. Jack stopped walking and watched as someone walked out of the door, holding an umbrella. The person threw a trash bag into the bin. He turned around and started to make his way back in. He stopped and saw Jack standing in the middle of the rain.
"Hello, there where'd you come from?"
He said taking a few steps towards him. Jack took a few steps back with a scared look on his face.
"Hey, it's okay, here my name is Charlie. What's yours?"
Charlie said kneeling and extending his hand towards Jack.
Jack slowly walked up and grabbed his hand.
"Come it's warm inside, I know someone who might be able to help."
Charlie said as the two walked inside.
Sierra followed behind them.
As Sierra continued her journey the others were fighting off the guardians.
"Calm down, heel, sit, stop trying to kill me."
Loki said as he was running away from Woolfers. He turned a corner and slid past a tree. Woolfers came charging in and broke through the tree.
"Here have an apple."
Loki said holding out an apple. Woolfers tried to bite his hand off.
"Dang it,"
He said, tossing the apple away.
"That worked last time."
Loki kept running as something started to appear next to him. He blinked his eyes and saw Jack.
"Jack what are you doing here, let's go home."
He said reaching out as his hand went straight through him.
"What the,"
He looked backward and saw that Woolfers looked like himself again.
"I see this is a memory, if I follow this Jack maybe it will lead me to the real one."
Loki kept running alongside Jack.
As soon they came across a pool. Jack jumped over it and Loki quickly circled and tried to catch up. It took him a while as Loki caught up to Jack. As Woolfers started to gain on them.
"Oh crap this is the first time Jack is gonna turn into red armor, I can't lose I gotta keep up."
Loki said surrounding himself with electricity. As he did Jack started to glow as he vanished.
"Okay, I know where he's going to be."
Loki said as he quickly ran after him.
In a few minutes, Loki caught up to Jack and saw him lying on the ground. Loki stopped using his electricity and started to pant heavily. Loki stood right next to exhausted Jack. Loki breathed heavily as he leaned over. He rested his hands on his knees. Sweat dripped from his forehead as he finally caught his breath. He looked up and saw people sitting down.
"Huh,"
Loki said walking a bit closer. He stopped in his tracks as he saw someone with white hair sitting next to Jack. Along with someone with purple hair, next to the boy with white hair. The three of them were all sitting under a tree with white leaves.
"Who are they? What kind of tree is this?"
Loki said reaching out to grab Jack's shoulder. Before he did his hand glowed green. Loki jumped back and looked at his hand. It quickly stopped glowing as he looked back and saw Jack and the others were gone. Loki looked at his hand more. As he looked up and saw a dark version of himself.
"Ah great."
The dark Loki pulled out batons. Loki pulled out his batons as well, as the two took their stances. Loki started to think to himself.
"I can't afford to waste time. There's no telling where Jack is. I can't fail again, I've got to make this quick."
Loki said as he charged the dark Loki.
As Loki waged his battle.
Charlie was fighting Jack's armor. Red lighting came striking down from the sky. The lighting struck the ground as the armor leapt out of the way. Charlie pulled out a staff and charged towards the armor. Charlie swung the staff down at the armor. The armor teleports behind Charlie. The armor pulls it's fist back and tries to stab Charlie in the back of the head, with his gauntlet blade. Charlie suede his head to the left. Charlie dodged the attack. He kicked the staff up to hit the armor in the head. The armor teleported away and appeared above Charlie. The armor pulled it's fist back as it's gauntlet blade started to glow purple. Charlie surrounded his staff with red electricity. He spun the staff around and held it over his head, as he spun it. The two clash as a giant explosion of red electricity and purple aura. Charlie backflipped and put his fingers together in the shape of a triangle and shot red lightning out of it. The armor jumped into the air. The mask opened its mouth and yellow flames came shooting out it. Charlie jumped up into the air as the armor quickly jumped after him. Charlie pulled out daggers and threw them at the armor. It deflected them with his gauntlets. Charlie chuckled. The armor spun around. It went for a side spin kick on Charlie's left side. Charlie put his elbow and knee together. He blocked the blow and went flying towards a building. He backflipped to regain controls he landed on his feet and looked up at the armor.
"Looks like you were really tough back in the day. Man kid you know we have core warrior rankings. It goes
Solider-4-1 first class
warrior 3-1rd class,
lieutenant 2-1nd class,
Sargent 3-1rd class,
Captain 3-1rd class,
General 1-3rd class,
Major General and Advisor.
The last two are equal in power not rank. Master rank than king.
At the power we're fighting at we would definitely be in Sergeant 3rd class. However I can tell we're both holding back."
The armor came flying down towards Charlie. He took his stance as he threw a straight punch at it. The armor barrelled around the fist and went for the kill. The armor pulled it's fist back and tried to stab Charlie in the face. Charlie leaned under it and kicked the armor in the gut. The armor flew over Charlie and landed behind him. The armor landed on its feet and had its back turned towards Charlie.
Charlie keeps his stance up. As the armor slowly turns around. As it does it slowly changes. The armor turns all the way around and turns into young Jack. Charlie pulled off his hood and ran towards him.
"JACK!"
He shouts as he tries to wrap his arms around him.
"So......."
Young Jack began to say.
"You lied to me too. Why did you lie to me all these years? Why train me? Was it to use me to get this important information everyone wants!?"
Jack asked him as Charlie slowly approached.
"No, it's not like that kid, come on we gotta get you out of here."
"NO, I've waited my whole life for answers. Now I found out the person who trained me was a core user this whole time. What else have you been keeping from me."
"I can't tell you that not yet not until you're ready."
Charlie said, taking a few more steps.
"Ready? after all this I'm still not ready? I see goodbye, Charlie."
He said as just before Charlie could wrap his arms around him he vanished.
"Where'd ya go come back!"
He looked around for him. Charlie jumped off the roof and began to run around looking for him.
Gerrit stood before a shadowy figure still in his stance. A voice came from the shadow.
"Why.. why...why?"
It said three times as Gerrit recognized the voice.
"Jack is that...is that you?"
Gerrit said, lowering his guard.
"Why....didn't say anything.....why didn't you....tell me......the truth?"
Between each word was a stagnant breath.
"I couldn't no matter how much I wanted to! Listen I don't have time to explain! We have to get out of here before you're gone for good."
The dark figure looked at the ground.
"..............liar."
It said as it charged at Gerrit.
Gerrit quickly dodge rolled out of the way. As the dark figure's arm extended and grabbed Gerrit's wrist.
"All I wanted....was to....know...everyone keeps the truth from me.......and I don't even know why. Why am I like this?...where did I come from?.....why am I filled with such hatred?...why..why, why, why, WHY!!"
The figure shouted as its form now reasonable black Jack.
"MY WHOLE LIFE IVE ASKED NOTHING BUT WHY. WHY DID I END UP THIS WAY. I HOPED THAT ONE DAY. That one day I could meet someone who knew. Who could tell me what I was like? Someone who could fill in the blanks. Tell me what kind of person I am. If I have any family out there. That I'm not alone in this world. Tell me what my name is. So why, why didn't you tell me. Who you were from the beginning?"
Jack said, looking at Gerri. Gerrit gritted his teeth.
"It's not for me to say, I'm.....I'm sorry."
He said reaching his hand out to Jack.
"Please come back with us."
Tears started to flow out of Jack's right eye.
"Why?"
Jack said letting go of Gerrit.
"WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY?!"
He shouted as he disappeared in shadow.
"NO JACK COME BACK!"
Gerrit said, leaping towards him.
Gerrit tried to grab him but he was already gone. Gerrit fell to his knees and hit the ground.
"Damn, damn it, damn it, damn it, DAAAAAAMN iiiiit!"
He shouted as he looked up at the sky.
"THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED, LOOK AT WHAT ITS DOING TO HIM!"
He said as he fell back to the ground.
Sierra continued to watch over Jack's life.
"I'll take him with me."
Mrs.Clockwork said. Sierra was watching the memory where Jack got adopted by Mrs.Clockwork.
"Fine by me, now you be safe kiddo."
Charlie said as he patted him in the head.
Mrs.Clockwork pulled out an umbrella and headed out the door. Sierra followed close behind.
"That day..."
She stopped right at the door as she heard Jack's voice.
"Jack where are you?!"
She said looking around the empty room.
"Was the first greatest day of my life."
Jack's voice said.
"I see this is more to the memory."
She said as she walked through the door. As she was now in her private kitchen.
"The second was the day I spent with her."
Jack's voice said as Sierra saw her and Jack eating ice cream.
"I don't know much about Sierra. She just makes me calm and happy. I feel like I could tell her anything. I don't know why but I love looking into her eyes."
Jack's voice said as Sierra approached the memory. With a somber look on her face, she tried to place her hand on Jack's head. However, it just went straight through.
"Jack, if you can hear me I made two promises. One to your mother the other was to me. I'm bringing you back no matter what."
She said as she headed for the door. She opened it and saw Jack and Loki sitting at the gravestones. She saw Jack holding Loki as he cried.
"Let's get stronger together Loki. I promise that we'll get stronger together."
Jack said as Loki looked up at him. Jack had a smile on his face as Loki nodded and smiled.
"This is who you are Jack."
She said as she started to walk through the garden.
Loki continued to fight the dark version of him. The two were equally skilled. Loki tried to hit him over the head with his baton. However, the dark Loki blocked it with his and went to hit Loki on the left side with his baton. Loki blocked it with his other baton. They both did a front knee. The two countered as they both went for a head bunt. They slammed their heads against the other. As Loki grunted.
"Damn I don't have time for this there are only 45 minutes left."
As Loki said this his right hand began to glow green.
"Tch might as well give it a shot."
Loki said as he dropped his right baton. He reached out to grab dark Loki's face. Dark Loki hit him across the face with his baton. However, Loki managed to grab his face. The dark Loki screamed as it glowed and the area Loki was in turned to a bright sunny day. The dark Loki disappeared. Loki looked at his hand as the glow disappeared.
"I get it now."
He said running back towards the house.
He ran through the back door and was in a dark city. When he got there his hand started to glow green again. As he looked around. He saw Charlie come crashing through a building. As Mr.Clockwork and Woolfers came charging down at him. Loki jumped in front of Charlie and grabbed Woolfers face. Woolfers glowed green as he disappeared and the city turned bright.
"What the? How did you do that?"
Charlie asked as he stood to his feet.
Loki looked behind himself now seeing that Flux was Charlie.
"Charlie, you were Flux this whole time?"
Loki said as Charlie walked up next to him.
"No time for that, we've only got 30 minutes left. Hurry and do the thing to the other one."
Charlie said as he charged Mr.Clockwork.
"Right."
Loki said, charging in as well. Mr.Clockwork punched down towards Charlie. Charlie spun around the attack and put him in a full nelson. Loki grabbed Mr.Clockwork by the face as he glowed green and disappeared.
"Now what?"
Charlie said as Loki headed for a building.
"Follow me."
He said as he broke through the door of a random building. With Charlie behind him, they both ended up in the tournament arena. There they saw Gerrit.
"Loki, Charlie how'd you guys get here?"
Gerrit asked as Charlie pointed at Loki.
"Ask him."
Charlie said as Loki took a deep breath.
"Look I don't have much time to explain but *deep breath*. The former user told us Jack's mind had been infected by Black Jack. So the mind guardians were a dark version of their original selves. Then someone told me how I was able to expel it."
He took a deep breath.
"I would try to explain but I have no idea. We need to find Sierra and get Jack out."
The three nodded as they headed forward.
Sierra found herself in a forest with white trees. As she saw Jack's armor. The armor stood in the middle of the path. She got ready for a fight. However, the armor let her pass. She walked past the armor when she came to the side of life. The snow was falling as she could see Jack sitting on the edge of the cliff. She sat down next to him as he looked down.
"Jack, why didn't you come back?"
She asked him.
"You know that armor that's guarding the road. I don't even know what it is. I don't remember anything. I probably never will. All kinds of dangerous people want something I don't even remember. Kuro nearly killed Loki and threatened all of you. So I figured I'd stay here and die. That way no one would get the information. Everyone would be safe."
Sierra sat there and look out at the sea.
"I see."
She said as Jack sighed.
"I'm sorry Sierra. I just can't put everyone in danger, for my sake. Are my memories worth everyone's lives?"
He said as he felt her hand on top of his. He looked at her as she looked at him.
"Listen to me, Jack. I know you think you're doing the right thing but it's not. Get your memory back because you want to, don't be afraid. Fear is what keeps us down. You fear that he'll come again and you won't be able to stop him. Jack, you promised Loki you'd be there for him. You've made so many people smile. Including me. You're not a danger to anyone. If he thinks he can tear us apart then he's dead wrong. You're like a brother to these kids. Gerrit's your best friend. Charlie's your trainer. Fighter is your sensei. Mrs.Clockwork is your mother. We may not be related by blood but we are your family and it's time you came back to us."
5 minutes left.
Jack felt a hand on his left shoulder. He looked up and saw Loki.
"She's right you know."
He said as he sat down next to him.
"Loki,"
He said as he felt a hand on top of his head. He looked up and saw Charlie.
"We're in this together kid."
He said sitting next to Sierra.
As next Gerrit sat next to Loki.
"You're my friend so that means I'll never leave you behind. You wanna know who taught me that?"
Gerrit said looking at Jack.
"Who?"
Jack was intrigued by the question.
"You did."
He said, looking at the sea as his eyes widened. Jack looked down as tears fell down his face.
4 minutes left.
"Thank...you,"
He started to say.
"THANK YOU FOR NOT LETTING ME BE ALONE!"
He shouted as a rode made of light appeared. They looked up at it in surprise.
"Now Jack you must go."
A voice behind them said.
They all turned around and saw the woman in the fox mask.
"That bridge leads to your core, once you return this will all be over."
3 minutes left.
Jack nodded as he turned towards the road.
"Jack the reason you can't remember everything is because your memories were sealed off by an IT. At the end of your journey, your heart was full of hate. To save you from black armor your past was sealed off. Remember this Jack to unlock your past, you must master positive energy and unlock Blue armor."
The lady in the fox said.
2 minutes left.
"Yeah, just one last question."
Jack said, turning his head towards her.
"Who are you to me?"
Jack asked as she moved her mask slightly. As Jack saw her red-eye.
"Someone precious to you."
She said putting it back on. Jack nodded and went into red armor mode.
"No matter the challenges, no matter what. I'm never giving up again. I'll get stronger. Train harder than ever before. Gerrit, Charlie you don't have to apologize. I want to learn about my past on my own."
He said as he looked back at them. With a smile, the group nodded as Jack ran up the road.
The lady in the fox mask opened a gate.
"Now go quickly he will be waiting for you on the outside."
She said as the group all ran through the portal.
Before Sierra ran all the way. She heard the woman say.
"Take care of him for me, you mean a lot to him."
Sierra nodded as she went through the gate. The group all went through the gate as the lady in the fox masked closed it.
"Are you sure about this?"
A man said coming out of the forest.
The man was dressed in a blue tux and combed back blue hair said.
"You're leaving a lot up to that kid, Red."
He said walking towards her.
"Has black been pushed back?"
She asked, looking towards him.
"Yeah, we've pushed him back into his domain. The only way he's getting out is if something like this happens again."
Blue said sitting down.
"Good the rest is up to Jack."
Red said looking up at the sky.
"He's got a long way to go that kid."
Blue said looking up at the sky.
Red lifted her hand and grabbed her mask. As she slowly pulled it off.
"Yes he does but I for one know. Just how much fight he's got in him."
She said as she stopped looking at the sky and headed into the forest.
"Pff guess I'll head back to my domain as well, see ya around Jacklyn."
He said as he walked into the forest.
The group all reappear back inside Jack's room. However, Jack is still unconscious.
"I don't get it. I thought she said that he'd be waiting for us."
Gerrit said looking down at Jack.
There was no black aura anymore Jack was laying down in the bed. Sierra chuckled as she reached into her coat and pulled out Jack's hat. She walked over and put it on his head.
"Better?"
She asked, looking down at.
Jack reached up and pulled the oxygen mask off his face. He opened his eyes and smiled.
"Much better."
He said as everyone smiled and laughed.
Loki, Dani, Tucker, Gerrit all jumped on the bed and hugged him. His sister Jessica jumped up and hugged him as well. Mrs.Clockwork quickly got up and hugged him as well. As Charlie, Sierra, Fighter watch. Then Syra gave one of her famous thumbs up. Jack chuckled as he hugged all of them.
"Thank you guys, but do you think me and Fighter could talk alone for a bit?"
The group gasped in surprise.
"Are you sure sweetie, you just woke up?"
Mrs.Clockwork said as Jack nodded. Slowly everyone left the room. Sierra was leaving the room last. She looked back at Jack who was smiling at her. She smiled back as she closed the door behind her.
"Are you gonna date my daughter?"
Fighter said getting up in his face.
"Cause I gotta tell ya family dinners can get a little, deadly."
Jack rolled his eyes as he pushed Fighter back. Fighter shrugged and lit a cigar and started to smoke.
"Could you not? Those are unhealthy for you, and for the children in the building."
Jack says pointing at it.
"Don't worry kid I made these. These babies clear up your lungs and other breathing stuff."
Jack sighed
"Sure they do."
Fighter pulled out another and held it towards Jack.
"Try one"
Fighter said
"No"
Jack said.
"Try one"
"No"
"Try one"
"No."
"Come on just try one."
"I'm not trying one."
Jack said, crossing his arms.
"Geez, you're stubborn. So what do you want to know?"
Fighter said, putting the cigar away.
"Well first off what's an IT."
Jack asked him, uncrossing his arms.
"Well, the short version is that there is a race of beings who don't have cores. There used to be many of them but they were all defeated by the first Core user and core beasts. ITS have mind powers, they can control it, change it, or mess with its memories. When you were brought to me I used an IT to seal off your memories to prevent black armor from taking you over."
Jack was about to speak as Fighter cut him off.
"Don't say anything I already know what you're gonna ask. I asked Gerrit and Charlie not to say anything in risk it may trigger something. Then Black armor would take over. Then I would have to risk people's lives. The IT I used to seal your memories was Loki's sister Luna. As were my instructions. She didn't have complete control of her powers so instead of just erasing your memories. She erased most of your basic knowledge. Like talking and writing. Henceforth until she could control her powers I vowed to never use them on you again. Then unfortunately she was taken from this world."
Fighter said, letting out a puff of smoke.
"Who gave you those instructions?"
Jack asked Fighter. As Fighter leaned forward in his chair.
"You did before your mind was wiped."
Jack's eyes widened in shock.
"That's right kid, the person whose idea it was to seal off your memories was none other than yourself. Pretty crazy right."
Fight said as he took another whiff.
"It was my idea, why would I do something like that."
Jack asked.
"You were overflowing with black armor. Your negative energy was going through the roof. Even more than when you fought Kuro. You told me to seal off your memories and to help you master positive energy."
"What's-"
Jack was about to ask Fighter a question. However, Fighter cut him off.
"Black armor uses negative energy. It feeds off peoples, anger, fear, hatred, and sadness. It slowly drives the person insane. Power exchange. Positive energy relies on a person, happiness, joy, love all that jazz. One cannot be without the other. You wanted me to teach you how to use it so that you could counteract the negative energy. So I placed you at Charlie gyms. I knew he would bring you to Mrs.Clockwork. I knew there you would find joy. However, your powers didn't start to return until you started your training with me. So all though you know joy. You haven't turned it into energy yet. You've yet to transform your aura into positive energy itself. Once you do you should achieve blue armor. The blue armor master was a master of positive energy. With his power, you should be able to counteract the negative energy."
Jack looked down at his right arm.
"So the reason I can't go back and remember is that something in the past may trigger black armor again. So I need positive energy to make sure that doesn't happen."
Jack said holding his arm up.
"Yep bingo kid congrats. Winner winner chicken dinner."
Jack put his arm down and looked at Fighter.
"Sierra told me that my right arm, my left leg, and my left eye were synthetic. So does that mean I lost my original limbs in the past and you gave me new ones?"
Fighter took another whiff and nodded.
Jack smiled and said
"Thank you."
"Yeah yeah no problem, once you're healed up we'll continue your training."
He said standing up and walking towards the door.
"Try not to go crazy again."
Fighter said looking back at him
"You got it."
~Meanwhile in a warehouse owned by Mr.Clockwork~
"No please, please no AAAAAH!"
A woman shouted as her face was crushed under a heel. The warehouse was full of at least 23 hostages. All tied up.
"You monster I'll kill you!"
A man shouted at the person who crushed the woman's head.
"Oh my, was she important to you?"
She said as she looked at his hand and saw a ring.
"Oh, I see she was your wife. Well, don't worry Envy will take care of you hehe."
She said, pulling out a dagger. Envy had blond and black hair. Her hair went down to the back of her knees. She wore a leather jacket that went halfway down. Along with a black crop top. She wore long black boots that went up to her knees. And a black skirt.
She looked at him closer and saw that he was holding a boy.
"That must be your son. Today must of been the day to bring your child to work day. How fun."
She looked around and saw that all the adults were holding children.
"I was just told to kill all the adult hostages, however, I have a better idea."
Suddenly the adults' bonds were cut. Envy backflip onto a rail and put one leg over the other.
"A battle royal to see which parent loves their child the most."
She said with a smile.
"What are you talking about!"
A woman shouted.
"Simply, the parents will fight each other to the death. The winner will be spared along with their child."
She said as they shivered.
"Like we would do that there's no way we would do that."
The woman said as she grabbed her child and started to run. Before she made it even one foot she was shot in the back with an arrow. She fell to the ground with her child. The child was not hit by an arrow. As a man walked up behind her from the shadows.
"How are things going Envy?"
"Hm well, they just needed some motivation Mr.Clockwork. Might I ask what the point of this is?"
Envy asked as one parent shouted and began to attack the others.
"Those people down there are all convicts. The woman you killed was arrested for kidnap and murder. The one before that was a con artist who stole from thousands of families. They are all murders and liars who were given a second chance."
He said as he crossed his arms and continued to watch the parents' fights.
"So?"
Envy asked.
"I hired these people and gave them a second life. To see if they are truly deserving. See the big one in the blue shirt."
Envy nodded.
"Yeah."
"He was in jail for the murder of his first wife. He pleaded for a second chance and I gave him one. He got married and had a son. However, he took the kindness I gave him and spat in the face of it. He continued his wicked ways by beating his son. His wife, the first woman you killed was someone else I gave a second chance to. Each one of these people here came from a terrible upbringing. They were given a second chance and yet they threw it away. The woman and red cheats on her husband and has taken money from those who need it. This test is to see two things. One what the parents are fighting for and two how the children react. Look at the son of the man in blue. When his mother died he didn't yell or shout,. Look at him, he's smiling. This shows me that none of these children love their parents. The woman who tried to run away was using her daughter's disability to get checks. She wasted it on drugs and alcohol instead of taking care of her daughter. I wondered if people could truly change. However, it seems those who are cruel shall always remain cruel. Kill the adults and erase the minds of the children. Make sure they are adopted into families who will take care of them."
Clockwork said as he turned away and started to walk off.
"Roger that boss man."
Envy jumped off the railing and proceeded with her orders. Clockwork thought to himself.
"Yes, the world is a cruel place. The time has come to unleash cruelty upon the world."
~To be Continued~
