The next day, I walked into the meeting room and saw Lyn sitting at the table. I sat down in a chair and looked at her. She looked at me and leaned forward.
"What's up Lyn?" I asked.
"We got a call from a very special person...I don't think you'll like it." Lyn said.
"Who is this person?" I sat back in my chair and my eyes shined a bit.
"It's Shida. You know...the guy who literally fails at almost experiment he creates. The same guy who tried to make a cure for death but ended up killing half the universe in the Zodiac Timeline?" Lyn answered.
"What does that idiot want? I had to leave Candy for this. She's in the kitchen as we speak." I crossed my arms.
"He has an experiment he's been working on. He wants you to go to his lab and help him." Lyn looked at her clipboard.
"Really..?" I sighed and stood up. "Fine."
"Wait really? You're going to see him? Don't you hate him?" Lyn looked at me, confused.
"Knowing him...His experiment would cost us this Universe alone. If anything goes wrong I'll stop it then and there." I walked off.
"Mmm.." Lyn looked at her clipboard again. "Creating humans from scratch...that's what he's doing..."
I grabbed my keys and Candy looked at me then got up and grabbed my jacket sleeve and looked at me worried. I looked at her. Plexi floated towards us and looked at us. Candy's grip on my jacket tightened.
"Hakai. What's the matter? Why are you leaving, we were just...eating together." Candy spoke in a worried voice.
"I'm going to see an old pal of mine. You can come with if you want. Honestly he's anything but smart though." I sighed and gave a slight smile.
"Really? Let's go then! Reunion!" Candy ran off to grab her jacket. She grabbed her jacket off the chair and put it on then hurried towards me.
I walked out the base and pressed a button to open the garage door. I unlocked the doors to my car and got in, closing my door. Candy and Plexi got in the passenger seat then closed the door. We put on our seat belts and I started the ignition. I put the car in drive then drove off. The garage door closed after the car left the garage.
"So, about this old pal of yours." Candy looked at me and held Plexi, who was resting on her lap.
"What about him?" I asked as I was focused on driving.
"What's he like? What is his name?" Candy asked.
"His name is Shida Yamako. He was my personal scientist until an experiment of his went wrong. His experiment...killed my family and half the population of the universe during the Zodiac Timeline." I answered her question.
"What?! You're kidding!" Candy looked at me surprised. "W-What could he possibly want with you?"
"Don't know. He said he was working on a new experiment and wanted me to help him out. Honestly I don't want to help him. His dumbass always finds ways to screw something up." I sighed and changed lanes.
Candy put on the radio and listened to the different songs. She changed the song and heard a beautiful instrumental. She sat back in the seat and smiled.
"The stars." Candy started.
"The stars." I continued.
"They shine so bright." Candy closed her eyes.
"So bright." I sang back.
"My heart." Candy sang.
"Your heart." I took the first exit on the right side of the highway.
"It beats when it's just you and I." Candy looked at me with a smile.
"I start to dream." I sang.
"A dream." Candy held my hand.
"About the simple times." I continued.
"And I start to feel, when the stars align." Candy blushed and looked ahead.
We finally made it to Shida's Lab and I parked the car. I turned off the ignition and unbuckled my seat belt then got out the car. Candy got out the car after me. I walked towards the building and opened the door. A man with long black hair stood in front of two scientific tanks. He looked back and gave a smile.
"Long time no see, old pal." Shida said. I gave him a slight glare. He noticed Candy and turned his body towards us. "I see you've got a special someone with you. I did only ask for you but the more people who witness this success the better!"
"Whoa! Your lab is so cool! I've never seen anything like this before!" Candy walked in the lab and looked around in awe.
"Shida. I don't know what you're planning, but I swear if it costs the lives of everyone in this universe.." I glared and my eyes shined. "I will kill you with my bare hands."
"Don't worry so much...Hakai. I give you my word what I'm working on is so much better than just a cure or an artificial moon. What I'm working on is something that is so revolutionary that not even the Gods could believe it! All I need to finish the experiment is a strand of your hair." Shida said.
"I refuse." I crossed my arms.
"Come on Hakai! I'll do it too if you want! I wanna see what it is!" Candy looked at me.
I looked at Candy and was about to speak then she covered my mouth and I sighed.
"We'll do it!" Candy smiled.
"Good.." Shida smirked.
I groaned and pulled out a strand of my hair then gave it to Shida. Candy did the same. I placed my hands in my pocket and placed my back on the wall and only expected the worst from Shida. I looked at how excited Candy was then closed my eyes. Shida placed the strands of hair in a machine and pressed a button. The machine started up.
"With your DNA, these two will be unstoppable! They will be invincible! No villain would ever cross them!" Shida laughed.
"Did you hear that Hakai?! The two will be unstoppable!" Candy looked at me excitedly.
"I heard." I answered and opened one eye. 'If anything goes wrong...a bloodbath will soon be reality.'
My eyes emitted slight dark aura as I looked at Shida. The machines stopped then the doors to the tanks opened, revealing two little girls. One girl had black hair with blue bangs and tiny white horns on her head. Her left eye was blue and her right eye was red. The other girl had white hair and black bangs with a halo over her head. Her left eye was red and her right eye was blue.
"Meet the twins...Arize and Arane! My creations! My perfect creations!" Shida laughed and looked at them then turned towards me. "Because of your DNA they are also related to you and have some of your power. These girls were made from the DNA of the strongest legends of the past, Sephora, Chaos, Zodiacs, even your second wife Rinka! They have no limits to their power!"
Arize sat up and looked at her hands. She looked up and her eyes sparked. I grunted and felt something off. Arize's right eye shined and a phantom sword went straight through Shida. Shida looked surprised and coughed blood. Candy looked surprised as well and looked at the girls. I gave a slight smirk as I watched Shida's body fall to the ground. I looked at Arize and she tilted her head. Arane sat up then rubbed her eyes.
"H-Hakai...Does this count as a failed experiment?" Candy looked at me.
"In some ways it does...but in the end nothing blew up or anything. This experiment was a success and a failure." I walked towards the girls and looked at them. I heard coughing then saw Shida stand up slowly.
"I'm glad...I kept this Goddess Idol with me just in case.." Shida said and the statue shattered. "I could've died if I hadn't had this."
I looked at Shida then back at the twins. Candy watched me closely. The twins looked at me then I placed my hand on their heads, ruffling their hair. The blushed and closed their eyes.
"Bi...big..brother.." Arize spoke and looked at me.
I looked at her then lowered my hands and placed them in my jacket pocket, walking off. Candy watched me then smiled and looked back at the girls.
"Alright girls! Time for you to get ready to come with your father." Shida said and they shook their heads.
"Want big brother." Arane pointed at me. Shida looked back at me and smiled.
"You can't go with Hakai right now. You have to stay with me for a bit before you're ready to see the outside world with him. Besides he's targeted by literally the whole world, the universe. It's not safe with him." Shida said.
"It's not safe with you either." Arize said.
All three of us were surprised. I looked back at Arize and Arane. Candy looked at me and at the twins.
"Do they have your memories because of your DNA..?" Candy asked.
"We want to stay with Big Brother!" Arane nodded and puffed her cheeks.
"You can't go with him! There are many reasons why you can not-"
"The children have spoken...Shida. It's not safe with either of us, but the difference is I can actually protect them...you can't. I trusted you with my first son and daughter and you killed them. I won't allow that mistake to happen twice." I said and dark aura calmly emitted from my eyes.
Candy looked at me and Shida. The tension was high between us. Arize and Arane hopped out of their tanks and hurried towards Candy and I. I looked at them and at Shida.
"Let's go." I said and walked off to the car. Candy and the twins followed me and we got in the car then drove off.
"Tch...Hakai..." Shida chuckled and dark aura surged around him. "You think you can just do whatever you want now. I'm sick of it. Even back then you were an asshole to me. That all ends here!"
Shida took out a blueprint and began drawing on it with a marker and laughed. He had crazy eyes then he finished the drawing. He looked at the blueprint.
"Project...Iakah..." Shida laughed.
A woman stood outside the lab and smirked after hearing Shida's project. She walked inside the lab and Shida looked at her and his eyes widened.
"Hello Shida..Mind handing me that blueprint..?" The woman said.
"Y-You're...Melida.." Shida looked at her.
"Actually that's not my real name but yes I am Melida...I'm going to need Project Iakah. You're not gonna be able to bring out the full potential of Iakah like I would." Melida smiled and took the blueprint from his hands. "I'll put in a good word for you though. All you need to do is eliminate Hakai and I'll make sure you're the most well known scientist there is in the country of Cordelia. You only have a week to prepare for the battle."
She walked off and Shida gave a chuckle then laughed a bit. He was dumbfounded by what she said. Him fight me. He gave a slight smirk and he looked at his old sword wrapped up on the counter.
"I guess this is the end of Hakai.." Shida chuckled.
