Bab 8: Ch.8
Emi gasped at the sight of seeing the Harbinger in front of her. She knew it was her's now but even still the sight of it was terrifying. The aura was suffocating.
She wanted to aim the gun at it but the screen stopped her.
"WARNING!!!! Master of Makaizer can not use Sanzu Reveler on Makaizer. Any attempt to damage Makaizer will result in nullification of bond and death to master."
"Are you kidding me!"
Emi was upset. If the Harbinger were to attack her she would die from just defending herself. Nothing in the world ticked her off more than being punished for defending herself. The Harbinger came closer to her, the shakes she had turned to frustration. She didn't care anymore, if it attacked her she was going down fighting and not scared.
"The hell with it! I'm sick of being weak and scared. I don't care you the Harbinger of Cain, I'll blast one in your head before I'm sent off to paradise."
"…..ar…are…are you….my….master?"
"Huh?"
"Are….you…..my master?"
It was trying to talk to her. It's voice was choppy and distorted. It must have been the years of being locked up that it forgot how to speak. More so, the time it was around it must have only spoken the ancient languages, not the modern-day La'Cryma speech Emi talks.
"What did you say?"
It tried again to speak. Its gold-colored eyes lit for a second before it finally spoke again.
"Are you my master?"
It's voice was clear now. The Harbinger sounded young, its voice was deep and stoic but near the same age as Emi. Emi figured it picked its voice based on her standards since Ramírez's was the only one she liked for comfort growing up.
"I….I am. I'm your master." Emi showed the bracelet and her tatted arm. The Harbinger scanned both and acknowledged Emi's claim. It held its hand out for Emi to grab, she accepted and lifted herself back up.
She looked up and down at the Harbinger, she was scared of it at first but now looking over again she thought it was beautiful.
The Harbinger did the same, Emi noticed and blushed, she grabbed her towel to hide her breasts from it.
The Harbinger tilted its head in confusion, Emi calmed herself trying to not look like a fool.
"Master, how long have I been asleep?"
"You don't remember?"
"No master, I have no memory of how I got here, who my previous master was, or my original appearance."
'He doesn't remember?' Emi was confused. She thought to herself that was too convenient for It to forget like that. But when the memory transfer happened all she saw was him killing and fighting. Nothing about its other memories or anything that would show its face, just from It's point of view.
"Is your memory circuits damaged by chance?"
"No master. It seems my memories were deleted. Whoever sealed me here erased selective memories of mine and altered my body."
It didn't feel convenient now, more in tune with destroying any recognition of the Harbinger's crime and image. If the previous master worked this hard to do that, then there must have been a reason why the Harbinger killed It's brethren and was sealed when the act was done.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked you a dumb question like that. Well since I'm you're master now I want to lay some ground rules and get out of this place."
"What are your terms, master."
"First, stop calling me master makes me uncomfortable, Emi is just fine. Second, never mention anything about the memories you still have to anyone, I don't want to be executed for being the master of the Makaizer that everyone hates. Third, since you are mine I should name you can't go around and call you the Harbinger of Cain can I?"
The Harbinger didn't react, Emi grunted annoyed for embarrassing herself again with that last sentence.
"What will my name be than mas…Emi?" Emi didn't think of the name right away, she sounded so confident she forgot to do that in the beginning. She looked at him again till it hit what to call him.
"I'll call you Vice."
"Vice?"
"Yes. Kinda fits you perfectly actually." She said with a smile.
"Very well, my name will be Vice from now."
"New achievement unlocked. Vice has been perfectly bonded. New skills unlocked."
Emi was shocked. All she had to do was name It. 'Probably should stop calling Vice an It as those noble jerks referred to me growing up.'
"New skill obtained. Origin Skill, Genesis Rise unlocked."
'Genesis Rise? What skill is that? And an Origin Skill? What is that?'
"Vice, what's in Origin Skill?"
"An Origin Skill is one that The Origin granted to the first intelligent humans who became our masters. The skill can not be obtained unless it is passed down from the previous master to the new one via way of the Makaizer they were bonded to."
"Really? Then what skill is Genesis Rise?" Vice was silent, if he could express an emotion, it would have been shock.
"What did you say?"
"Genesis Rise. What skill is that?"
Vice was quiet again. His head began to hurt. He buried his face in his hand, and blurred and choppy images ran through his mind. A silhouette of a person appeared in it causing Vice more pain.
"Vice? Are you okay?"
The images stopped. The pain began to recede finally, Vice tried to regain himself in front of his new master.
"I don't….I don't remember. Forgive me Emi."
She felt bad. Emi can see that trying to remember something caused him pain. Whoever erased his memories didn't want him to say anything about the skills that were from his time. She placed a hand on his head, her fingers caressing the cold metal of his armor like a mother to a sad child.
"I'm sorry Vice. It must be hard for you to tell me anything helpful without feeling pain. If you can't tell can we at least get out of here I want to go back to the school and rest."
Vice understood. He composed himself, grabbed Emi's shoulder, and teleported them back to where Emi was taken from.
After they left the monitors began a countdown, the rooms filled with gas that began to slowly dissolve the papers, parts, and any evidence of Vice being there.
After the countdown, a message propped up on the monitors in Vice's room, "Don't waste your second chance...I love you."
The room was destroyed and everything that left a trace of Vice was gone now.
