Artificial 7: Genesis Requiem

Chapter 12: Metal Head

Narration: Pope Rekture calls in any Exorcist in London above a grunt to a meeting at HQ to discuss the arrivals of two Artificial Demons.
While Selena was attending the meeting with Alexander and both Terras, Belladonna was flipping the Exorcist private rooms upside down to find all their cameras.
"Ahem."
Terra's dad says from the doorway.
"Care to elaborate why I'm spending $2,000 plus dollars a month on security cameras?!"
He demands to know.

"Yeah. I don't like being filmed as proof I'm having sex for your little project! I'm not a porn star, I'm not a witch prostitute! If I find another one of these cameras, I'm going to kill you, and it will not be swift! Do. You. Understand. Me?" Belladonna lays her boundry out clear and has her hand glow a bright pink color.
"Yes, madame."

Terra's dad leaves the room,
and the scene cuts back to the Pope,
who has two photos of a Latino with white hair and red eyes,
then a photo of a figure in all black shirt,
pants,
and long coat that goes to his calfs with the hood up,
a metal helmet with one neon green glowing eye and a metal nut over the other.

"These two Demons have been causing quite the stur. The one with white hair and red eyes has been killing humans daily from out of the blue with no rhyme or reason. I'm issuing an execution order on him. The other one has been killing Artificial Demons in the area and has been caught on camera a few times, saving fellow Exorcist. While I am grateful for the individual's actions, in the eyes of the law, he, she, them, are no different than a vigilante. So I'm issuing an arrest order on this one we'll call Metal Head. If you can bring this individual back without harm, that would be appreciated as well as a big fat bonus for doing so. But if this person can't be reasoned with, do not hesitate to use lethal means. That is all."

All the Exorcist leave the building,
and while Selena,
Alexander,
and both Terras are on call until their next job,
Selena thinks back to that night she threw the man and broke the table. (What are the odds of the guy I threw being one of the Demons we're hunting? I should have killed him. Oh well.) Selena thinks to herself.
(Eh, we'll kill him next time.)

Chase says from within Selena's mind. Later that evening,
Seth, Zoey, Yuzuhara, Aiko, and Haruki joined Male Terra, Ventus, Lydia,
and Cynthia in the basement where they watched tv together and Seth told the story of fighting a Demon which cought Terra's attention,
so when he asks for more details,
he reported it to Selena, who then had to make a report to the Pope about Seth getting into a fight.

The next day,
Seth was brought into the Pope's chambers,
where he showed all the fresh scars on his body and told the Pope the tactics he uses and how he fights,
raising the execution order to a Legate only job.
That night,
while Selena, the twins,
Belladonna, Morgan,
and her daughter eating at a restaurant, Metal Head makes his introduction by breaking into a mafia like base where Artificial Demons were in the middle of human trafficking for other Artificial Demons that made the highest bid, unfortunately for them,
Metal Head died the whole room red and some Exorcist that been following a lead,
catches up to them.

Metal Head attempts to shake the Exorcist and doesn't fight back,
running through the building,
breaks a window,
then leaps through it,
and fires a shadow,
shadow,
swinging through the city of London,
and the Exorcist giving chase by driving after him in their cars or moater cycle,
eventually catching Selena's and the twin's attention,
causing them to get a look at Metal Head as he swung so low to the ground,
he could be seen from the entrance for a second,
nearly touching the ground.

"We'll be back!"
Selena slams money on the table to pay for everyone's food,
a black marking visible in between her bangs,
and then then black energy forms on the back of her uniform,
forming into wings as she takes off after him.
Metal Head takes a sharp turn and face plants into a wall and falls down,
hitting a balcony and face planting on the ground.
The Exorcist surround him,
and Metal Head sticks his hands up,
and his voice changer turns on.
"I don't want to hurt you. Don't make me."
