***Joker
He looks different from before. His hair is all black and cut short. He has a katana on his back. His katana looks old. His clothes and hood are all black so he can blend in with the dark. He's more dangerous than Baek.
"Why are we hiding?" Reznakov asks.
" Shh be quiet." I say.
" That person right there isn't Ba-" I get cut off by NoTe swinging his blade against my neck. Reznakov blocks it then hits him with the bunt of his spear.
"Why does Baek look like that?" Reznakov asks.
"That isn't Baek, that's NoTe. A ruthless killing machine with one goal in mind. Our death. " I say.
NoTe gets up from out the rubble and again starts his ruthless assault. Reznakov and I both attack him at the same time but he blocks both of us. His martial arts ability isn't anywhere near the level of Baek's. He's still strong though.
His weapon arts on the other hand are impressive. I've never seen such an elegant and beautiful style. Most sword styles stem from samurai. They all follow textbook rules.
This one is more like a dance. There's no way Dr.Zikan programmed that into NoTe. So who taught him that?
"Hey Joker, if you aren't going to help then get out of the way." Reznakov says.
"Should I use one of my heart cards?" I ask.
"No! Doing that might just make things worse. Call Rev I'll hold back NoTe." Reznakov says.
***Reznakov
It's been a while since I fought someone on this level. If NoTe was part of any family he could easily become a family head. This sword style. It feels familiar. Where have I gone against it before?
" Reznakov I've found Rev!" Joker yells.
" Okay I'm on my way." I say to Joker.
"Looks like we will have to end this dance early. I'll leave you with something to play with though. Summon Yamato no Orochi." I say. The 8 headed serpent crashes through the walls to attack NoTe.
"When the hell could you summon a serpent?" Joker asks.
" I'm Loki's apostle, there is a lot I could do." I say.
" Why did you call us?" Rev asks. That was fast. I didn't even notice him or Kendra.
" I have information to disclose on Dr.Zikan." I say.
" You have your memories back?" Rev asks.
" Yes, all of them. " I say back.
" That's good. When I saw you pass out I got worried." Rev says.
" Alright alright hurry up, I'm tired of running from NoTe." Joker says.
" We can take down NoTe or Dr.Zikan, it doesn't matter which one. Currently NoTe will attack whoever is the strongest in the room." I say.
" How do you know that?" Joker asks.
" I fought with a NoTe before. I killed him but it wasn't easy. Dr.Zikan isn't a weakling either. He has a cardinal sin in his eyes. It allows him to see anything and everything about you." I say.
"Your abilities, your future, your truth, anything he can see. " I say.
***Baek
"So what Happened after Reznakov killed NoTe?" I ask.
" Kabat and Dr.Zikan decided maybe it would be better to test it on babies. Before they have a chance to build real emotions."
"That actually makes sense. It isn't a bad plan." I say.
"Those kids in those life pods. They are first generation Kaisel. Your teacher, Stitch, he's a 3rd generation Kaisel." NoTe says.
" What's the difference between the generations?" I ask.
"The first generation is a lot more dangerous than the 3rd. They were born in the middle of the war. All of the first generation is dead though. Besides the few kids in those lifepods." NoTe says.
" Back to the story though. At one point Dr.Zikan messed up; he created a kid who felt too many emotions. The kid hears everyone's thoughts and feels everyone's emotions. Dr.Zikan didn't name that kid NoTe. He named him Vorovat." NoTe says.
"That means steal in russian. " I say.
"He named him that for one reason. Vorovat can steal other people's emotions. Which made Dr.Zikans past mistakes actually a huge success." NoTe says.
" So then he made one more. This time he filled a kid with only rage and hatred. That kid was named Lunar. Both of those kids are currently in the lifepods that you walked past." NoTe says.
"Will they wake up?" I ask.
"Let's hope not. However, this is where we get to me and you. Dr.Zikan had Vorovat take all the things that make a killer. Out of the worst killers of their time. Which in turn made a soul of a killer. Now all he needed was a body for that killer." NoTe says.
" So how did that involve my parents?"
" Kabat was friends with Shaka. Shaka is your father, a legendary african war chief. His tribe was on the level of the 6 families. He dual wielded greatswords. His mana technique allowed him to manipulate soundwaves. That is where you get your dual wielding technique from and how you naturally can produce echolocation." NoTe says.
" Wait, I thought only the 6 families could inherit mana techniques from birth?" I say.
"That would normally be true however your father and mother were powerful. They also knew powerful people. They found a loophole. " NoTe says.
"Anyway Kabat knew your mother was pregnant. He told Dr.Zikan about it. Dr.Zikan was ecstatic. He knew that you would be the best possible test subject. However, he also knew he couldn't beat your father and mother. So he called upon a friend of his." NoTe says.
"Who was it?" I ask.
" I'm sure you can guess. This person has been hunting you for years. He's the worst thing possible to exist."
" It was Beezlebub." NoTe and I speak at the same time.
" Dr.Zikan sent Beezlebub to attack your mother and father. Now at this time your mother was only 3 weeks pregnant so she was far from weak. So when Beezlebub attacked them he didn't understand how much he was risking his life." NoTe says.
"How strong were my mother and father?" I ask.
" Back then your mother and father were a duo. On the battlefield they had a run on site order if you saw them. After decimating so many armies to protect their people they were called. Death's emissaries."
