dexio and Natasha's true origins

DEXIOS PART.

Dexio, where to begin.

We can start when he first joined UMG.

Dexio, 5 times champion of UMG, it was rare for anyone to survive more than 2 rounds, but dexio was reaching levels of violence even the company saw as ungodly.

But some gods saw it the other way.

During the current match, something overcame Dexio, he suddenly stopped aiming for weak points, and aimed for bleeding spots, his goal changed from slaughter to torment, the Arena was painted red from all the burst arteries and slit throats.

And dexio was living in the moment, he raised his arms to the sky, with a soulless expression, not for the crowd, for the ones he praised, and drew the blood for, chanting "the sky bleeds red, the seas turn to blood, give yourself to the ones above".

He was drenched in blood, the whole floor was red, yet he still praised his gods, it was all for them.

???:"he's gone insane..."

"no, he was crazy when he stepped in here, he's praising a higher power"

???:"have you notised how he *desires* to be put in, he isn't even put in his own room we have to isolate him in a cage"

"Dexio has broken out many times, this I'm aware of, and I'm aware of how many staff and bystanders were killed"

???:"as it pains me to say, we can't have dexio around anymore, he's good for money but he costs so much It doesn't matter"

"so, I'll make the call, contact *them* to deal with dexio, but I want him alive"

???:"what do you plan of him?"

"Well- oh and dexio is beginning to draw symbols in the blood, we can talk later, I don't wanna risk the chance he somehow summons his gods"

Dexio was drawing, strange...symbols, something was telling him to do this, not voices, but a feeling, like his gods are trying to tell him what to do, and he's obeying without hesitation, maybe they really exist.

But heavily armored units surrounded dexio, his gods saw the risk, we can't lose one this devoted.

Dexio gained a violent thirst for more blood, they say jump, he replied how high.

One of the units was suddenly grabbed, dexio quickly snapped their neck, the other units began firing tranq rounds at dexio, but little did they know, dexio was detained this way so many times, his body found a way to quickly filter the tranq from his bloodstream.

He only stumbled slightly at their fire, pulling another to the ground, he began stabbing them with their own knife, dexio was shoved off  by another unit, they resorted to bluntforce truama.

After minutes of beating, dexio finally stopped moving, but was still breathing.

One killed and another gravely wounded, but what of dexio?

NATASHA'S PART.

Natasha was chilling in her apartment, just waiting for the usual shady business to require her service.

The phone rang.

Natasha:"yes hello?"

"Is this *her?*

Natasha:"if you mean the woman who dose any job for anyone then yes it is"

"Well, I'm sure you know UMG?"

Natasha:"yeah just watched the latest round, that dexio fella is something, don't understand why *they* showed up though"

"That's what we're calling about, dexio is alive, as planned, and we need someone who can straighten him out, or has contacts with said skills"

Natasha:"mmm, yeah I know some guys who could fix dexio, but why not just kill him? Save you plenty of trouble"

"That was plan B, but at the same time, I'm sure you yourself could find a use for him"

Natasha:"sure, he can do my taxes, I'm not exactly hiring a maid here"

"You'll figure it out"

Natasha:"where am I picking him up, and will he be restrained, I can't garentee his warranty could be refuned if he got aggressive"

"Yes, and meet him at [REDACTED]"

Natasha:"ah, not sticking around, so how you going to pay?"

"You'll find the money on him, if he doesn't break the arm of the person putting it there"

Natasha:"Alright but you know who you're dealing with if it's not there"

"Yes I know"

Click.

When Natasha arrived, dexio was chained up at the meeting point, with a briefcase beside him, containing a large sum of money

Natasha:"there you are bloodboy"

Dexio remained silent

Natasha:"for the best if you remain quiet, I don't tend to be good company"

Dexio:"what of you will do to me"

Natasha:"could you speak properly"

Dexio:"tell me plans"

Natasha:"no, and say one more mispronounced sentence and your not going to be saying much of any words"

Dexio:"I no fear you wen-"

Natasha jabbed a taser into dexios neck aggressively

Natasha:"I always get the dumb ones, they better be able to teach him proper English"

They did.

Natasha took dexio to some friends, they made quick work of his *qualities*, and since he would be staying with Natasha for a while, they forced him into being "friendly" with her.

Their techniques are interesting, a form of lobotomy along side hypnosis and torture, to shape their victims into their desired personality.

And they made sure he could speak properly.

The one Quirk they couldn't remove no matter what they did, was his bloodlust, his gods still had a grasp on him, they wouldn't give up so easy.

The reformed dexio was given to Natasha, she split her payout with her allies and headed home with dexio.

Natasha just wanted to relax after that day, she might have forgotten about her friend existing.

Natasha lazily laid on the couch, getting into a comfortable position, only to remember dexio, who was on the other side of the couch, just looking at Natasha.

Natasha:"what?"

Dexio:"thank you"

Natasha looked at dexio confused

Natasha:"for?"

Dexio:"being a friend"

(Oh yeah they made him believe I'm his friend)

Natasha:"sure"

Dexio smiled at Natasha, she couldn't help but lightly smile back.

(This feels wrong, when I told them to make him be okay with me I didn't think they would go the friendship route, least it's not a lover type of thing, they did that once before as a prank..)

Natasha eventually drifted to sleep as they watched TV, when she awoke, a blanked was atop her, she was in her bed and dexio took the liberty of sleeping on the couch.

Natasha Slightly blushed at this, it's been a while since someone cared about her like that, but given the situation, that thought just became dark...

They're theme: devil trigger.
