armageddon knight gaiden: project moon

Part 1: the white messiah.

My name is Jon Krakauer tenshi. The white messiah. That's my color fixer title. In the city. Fixer's are essentially mercenaries. Who are ranked by their grades. Rank 9 being the lowest. But the highest being grade 1. But then there's the ones who go above and beyond that. Ever through their skill or tech. These legendary fixers are given a title of a color like purple tear, blue reverberation and...red mist...kali....dammit thinking about her hurts. Thinking about anyone from that disaster hurts.

I still remember it. I was invited by carmen to be a part of the "seed of light" project. I was someone with bizarre abilities. When i turned 16. A mark appeared on my right cheek going down my arm. My dad explained to me that he wasn't human. He was a being called an armageddon knight. And that i was a being even more dangerous than that. Do you know the story about the fruit of knowledge? You hear stories about how demons prey on humans. Well this is the true reason. Those demons were once gods. But they were turned to demons when their knowledge was stripped from them by the one who got the throne. Their knowledge finding their way into human souls through the fruit eaten by adam and eve. Many people believed that demons were just evil. And some of them are truly are. But most of them wanted to find the human with their knowledge and return to their true form...as a nahobino.

For armageddon knights. Who stand between heaven and hell. The twilight between light and dark. It's a bit different for them. They were born that way. Therefore no knowledge for them to get back. How it works for them is...mating with a human. A nahobino is born when an armageddon knight mates with a human. The power of an armageddon knight combines with the knowledge contained within the human soul fuse together in the womb. Thus creating a nahobino. Which is why the tyrant bokun made it so that having a child with a human was banned. Any nahobino that was found would be taken to a prison. Any humans that was found in the sanctuary would be executed. My dad had a dimension stone. So he used it and ended up here...not sure if here is much of an improvement though.

The city is hell in a different way. If you live in the back streets. People will want nothing to do with you at best. Take your organs or use you for their next cannibal dish at worst. Those with enough money can move to the nest. It's much safer though at the price of becoming another ass being owned by the corps. Which had all the power to do whatever the hell they wanted.

Honestly being a nahobino was a god send. It would keep me alive in this hellhole i'm forced to call home. I knew it would only be a matter of time before i was put among the color fixers. Though it wouldn't happen until after the "seed of light" project. To this day i'm not sure how carmen found out about me. Whispers among the people? Maybe l corp took an interest in me? Like i said. Corps had all the power in the city. So it wouldn't surprise me if they had eyes all over the backstreets. But what i do know was what carmen was working something that gave me hope in a good long while.

Carmen was working on a project that would bring the light back to the souls of humans. To cure an incurable disease as she called it. A disease that has infected many i've seen. With the dead faces of people or the twisted smiles of psychos. Which is why I was in. if there was someway to bring some...some light to this city where angels fall and darkness reigns...then I was in.

My job was getting the main fuel for the project. Cogito. A job that had a high risk of dying or going insane....my nahobino powers made it so that i could survive. And i lived for years in the backstreet. If dealing with psychopaths or thugs every day of my life didn't break me...diving into "the river" wouldn't.

Despite having a good way to get cogito. No progress in the project has been made in three months. Even though we had a person pretty high in the social order with daniel. And the legendary fucking red mist guarding the project. We will still not getting anywhere. Though the project wasn't gaining any ground. I did become close with my colleagues. Elijah, gabriel, giovanni and michelle. At the end of the shifts i would always enjoy a cup of coffee with daniel. And i won't deny that i had a crush on kali...i was always a fan of the red mist stories. And to see her in person. I saw that despite living in the backstreets and dealing with the shit i did. She was quite beautiful that long red hair of hers was quite striking. And honestly. I liked a woman who could kick my ass.
