Book 3 ~ The Puppet Master

2- Blaze is back?

I am so confused.

Unit S betrayed the master. I have no orders to eliminate the units. And why does she keep saying 'before?'

I- I don't understand. Master allowed me to see the light- she cleansed me. But these... humans... seem so... familiar. But I have my orders to apprehend the Angel...

What is going on in my head?

—-o0o——

"Blaze, cut it out!"

A girl with black hair wearing nothing but red was protesting as I splashed water on her.

I was laughing, and I turned to see the Doubter fling himself onto my back, pushing me head first into the ground.

The Fire grabbed the cup hose I was using and drenched me.

After I was able to stand, I started to chase her.

She slipped and fell in the dirt, and I bumped right into her, like dominoes. We both toppled over in a fit of laughter, and that was when I pulled her close and kissed her.

—-o0o—-

I fell to the ground, not because Unit S was forcing me, but because my head felt like it would explode.

I remembered when the Master- no... It feels wrong to call her that...What is going on?!

—-o0o—-

"Blaze!" I saw the Fire yell my name, but was paralyzed in place.

Shadow threw his shurikens at me, and my back exploded with pain.

I saw threw fuzzy vision being tossed in a portal, and the Fire- No, Amber- was crying.

—-o0o—-

I tried to stand but couldn't. This was- wrong, wasn't it? I hated them! They tried to kill me!

Then why do I love her?

—-o0o—-

I saw myself strapped in a metal chair. I saw Advanta smile cruelly at me, holding a device.

"This will ensure that you will lose your humanity," She said.

"Why do you hate me? Hate them?" I heard myself say.

She smirked. "Because the world belongs to ME, not them. Not after what their parents did to my father."

"Who was your father?" I asked, and felt rising panic, because I already knew who it was.

"Subcreo," She said, and I felt myself slip into untamed darkness...

—-o0o—-

I opened my eyes and screamed.

I didn't care if they were there.

I was a monster.

Trace was a fake- a plant to ensure Lily would go with the Pack, who had nothing to do with this.

I wasn't Blaze, or Kasai. I was Shikyo- one of three androids.Subcreo's last creation.

—-o0o—-

I opened my eyes again and noticed that the pain had left. I gulped, then took a deep breath.

I didn't belong to this world, and neither did Advanta.

We belonged to a different world, where Subcreo created us, and The Seven destroyed him. My father, the endless Void.

Taito, Trace or Soul, was my brother. Soul was a decoy planted because Taito was stuck there, at home, in the Void. Trace was merely a fake, like Soul.

Advanta was the first born, Taito was second, and I was last.

I was an android- an artificial intelligence created to rule any world.

And I had allowed Advanta to succeed the mission-

So why do I feel like I failed?
