Sometimes the world hates you just for being born. Sometimes you have to be the family you never had. And sometimes it becomes too much and you become the monster they always wanted you to be.
Onyx never had an easy life. Earning the nickname of "de...
Countless years had passed since the great battle. Don Armage had made easy work of completely erasing its name from history. No one in this age had any idea that such a fight had even taken place.
Onyx still worked with Jark Matter. They had been promoted to be Don Armage's right-hand man. It was an interesting job. They were often made to kill rebels. It wasn't a very hard job in the slightest.
Beyond that, Onyx was in charge of making sure everyone hired by Don Armage actually did their jobs. It was an annoying task to do most of the time. Having to go visit different areas and make sure nothing was going wrong was rough. They didn't enjoy traveling so much but had no choice. At least when things were going wrong they got to take their anger out on the workers so it was something.
Onyx still held on to both of the kyutamas they had been given. Orion's was safely hidden away somewhere only they would find it when the time was right. The other kyutama stayed in their pocket on most days. They never used it though. They didn't want Don Armage to know that they had it.
They were once again on the move, making sure a newer member of the team was keeping his word. Onyx entered the base and made their way to the newly built lab. Inside was the new recruit, working away on something. He had been here for a while now, but this was the first time Don Armage was truly interested in his creations.
Onyx knocked once and entered the room. They took in the lab. It was a lot more built up than the other places they had seen. Someone was really busy.
"Good afternoon, Dr. Anton. Just coming to see how you're doing." Onyx greeted.
They couldn't help but notice the slight fear in his gaze as he greeted them back. That was unusual. He always greeted everyone with open arms. What was different? Was it just he was intimidated by Onyx? They were pretty high status. That could be it.

"What are you building here?" Onyx questioned, staring at a robot in the center of the room. They were hooked up to a lot of sensors.
"He is... a fighting robot." Anton said, choosing his words carefully from the sound of it.
"Did you give him a name?"
"Champ."
Okay, yeah, something was wrong here. Anton never named his creations like that. They were all just numbers and an identifying name. That name felt too particular for normal.
Onyx stared Anton down. "What's with the normal name? No numbers? No nothing?"
Anton gulped, "I am still... thinking about that."
"Yeah, right. What's the true intention here?" Onyx questioned.
Anton went silent for a long time before he finally spoke, "You can do as you please to me but please, don't hurt him."
Onyx sighed, "What are you doing, doctor?"
Anton explained. He had separated an evil side of himself. He had no evil in him now. All he wanted was peace. And he wanted this robot to be able to come with him. He wanted to leave Jark Matter behind. He pleaded his request.
