Ignus Chronicles:Finding Scion

Facility infiltration, enter the Reaper

    Ignus awoke with a start no more than a few hours later, his eyes glowing in his fear, his breathing labored his eyes wide, sweat trickling down his brow,  muttered a word before vanishing in a soft bamf leaving Blaze to her rest. "Scion...." He reappeared, with a note, stuck it to the door, put on his trench coat and vanished with a loud bamf after whispering "I'll be back, Zauberin."

A dense fog, blanketed the area, the shadowed form of a cloaked male appeared on a roof, twin crimson eyes glowing. The male fell to his knees, "He may be alive, I might not be alone." He thought back to the dream he'd had..... His brother may, be alive, he may not truly be alone after all, he told himself, reaching into his coat he pulled out his mask, he slipped it on, his eyes glowed,  "I'll find you Scion, I'm not losing you again, Sci." He said with clear conviction dripping from his voice.  He vanished with a loud bamf signifying a rather large port,  He reappeared 13 miles away kneeling on a building panting, looking in pure disgust at the banners on many of the buildings, the "pure" White Lotus, as they painted themselves, he was one of the few who knew the truth, he looked down at one of the many guards of the very organization that had tortured him, the reason he went rogue, they all knew him,  "Agent, R.E.A.P.E.R." They called him, "Zime to show zhem, vhat happens vhen you dance vith zi reaper."

He crossed both arms black sand rushing from his sleeves and five daggers appeared in each hand. The  sand began swirling and shifting angrily, his eyes glowed as he threw all the daggers with practiced precision. The world slowed in his eyes as he watched all daggers hit their mark on the ground in front of different guards, vanishing in a bamf to the first dagger, he rammed a clawed hand through a guard's chest his face cold, void of all emotion even as the blood splattered,  he had ruptured the man's heart before the guard could even blink, flicking the blood off his hand he continued, he vanished again faster and faster each time, throwing another dagger with every guard impaled, upon reaching the last guard he raised his left arm and opened one crimson eye wide, as it turned a deep purple, with  black slowly spinning crosshair, where a pupil would've been had he had one, his sand rushed forward trapping the guard, like a vice, "Dance of zi Reaper, eternal coffin." He clenched his fist and the sound of crushing bone echoed through the area, his eye bled as he covered it, returning to its crimson color.

He soon fell to his knees panting,  but the sound of frantic pounding and faint screaming reach his sensitive ears, "Vhat vas zhat? " His ears twitched as he attempted to follow the sound, thinking he had a solid lock on the sound he vanished loud bamf

Reappearing crouched on a roof of one of their facilities, he was hit with memories he'd rather keep buried, shaking his head he flipped off the roof teleporting with a soft bamf before anyone noticed his presence. Landing inside the facility in a dark corner with a soft bamf he was virtually invisible, his eyes glowing  ominously. The dull beeping of machines made his skin crawl "Vhy am I even back." He questioned himself, before growling softly "Zeit zu verschwenden Ignus." He chided himself, climbing up the wall with relative ease and sticking to the darkened ceiling , another part of his Enhancment he was always thankful for, it made the demonic appearance it gave him, just a bit more bearable. Reaching his destination he pushed off the ceiling of the facility landing in a crouch, he grinned and dashed at the group of guards on all fours, his body blurring from his speed as he jumped and with a loud bamf and a wet sound, the body of the first guard fell limp , tearing off his mask as he licked the blood from his clawed hand grinning sadistically "GUESS VHO'S BACK BOYS!" he yelled before a simple sadistic grin fell upon his features, he began tearing through them ruthlessly ,blood flew, limbs rolled, and organs were spilled from their confines. Another guard shakily spoke into his com, his throat closing up in fear at watching his comrades, his brothers in arms be ripped to shreds by what seemed to be a demon. "It's a-a-agent Reaper Ma'am, he's returned and he's going to-" static filled the comlink "-elp us-." It cut out once more. A bleach blonde woman sighed tiredly, she was fairly young but the stress on her features seemed to add 20 years, "I always knew this would come back to bite us." A husky thick german voice filled the comlink "Guess you vere right zhen, Carnine." The women's crystal blue eyes widened "I-ignu-!" "NIEN, don't speak my mein name, Hündin." He said coldly, the women on the other end of the com flinched at his cold tone "You don't have zi right, I'm getting vhat I came for and I'm leaving." She spoke quickly trying to prolong him being there "Y-you can't leave." He spoke with a slight growl "Zhink you can stop me." He crushed the guards com-link before walking towards the "holding" cells. He walked briskly , his hood off,  his form blood soaked, his eyes glowing harshly in his rage, upon reaching the cage he was looking for he stopped, he stared at the seemingly normal cage, black sand like matter swirled around his palm forming a pulsing red and black dagger, he tossed it at the cage and the bars lit up a harsh glowing red, cracking his fingers, he flipped and vanished mid flip with a soft bamf reappearing in his signature red and black cloud landing in a crouch, his tail coming over his shoulder raised, poised to strike if need be. A girl around his age if not a bit older sat in the center of the cage. "Stay away." The girl said so softly that even his ears barely picked it up "Vhat vas zhat, vhat did you say?" She raised her head her coal black hair falling from her face revealing silver eyes, "Stay away!" as those words left her mouth, the metal from the floor rose in the form of spiked pillars shooting towards him at an alarming rate, acting as if it had mind of it's own his black sand rushed from his sleeves forming a wall between him and impalement. A dull thunk echoed from the metallic spears colliding with the solid black sand like matter, he moved his hand and the sand rushed towards her, encircling her slowly like a parent to a child as he spoke softly "Nien, I von't hurt you." She slowly looked into his eyes, crimson meeting silver "O-okay..." she said slowly, He lowered his hand to her "Vill you zrust me?" she looked unsure at first before finally speaking."Y-yes." She took his hand and they vanished in a loud bamf, not before a random guard could shoot at Ignus hitting him in the arm. They reappeared on a nearby roof before Ignus' vision began to swim from the amount of energy he'd wasted, He grabbed her and once more and they were gone in a dull bamf     

Blaze awoke to a faint sound in the distance. Seeing Ignus not there, she gets up and throws on more clothing before leaving, not noticing the note stuck to the door. She followed the sound, until it got louder and louder. As she looked around, frantic, she saw the few people that were out, were not panicked. Confused, she stopped. Was there not a cause for alarm? She continued to follow the sound, until realization hit. The sound she heard, was coming from someone's mind.

Sighing, she slowed. Maybe it wasn't urgent and she just ran all this way for nothing. But just then, she heard grunts of pain and her heart sped up. She rushed to the noise only to see a woman and a hooded man with a spade tail. She relaxes at the sight of Ignus, her chest heaving from lack of breath. "Good. You're okay.." She trails off, as she notices the dead guards. "What happened here?" Ignus shifted his left arm, to better hide the blood freely running down it,"Vell....I relieved, some..zension." The silver eyed girl simply stared at the two confused, "Oh right, zhis is Cassandra, she'll be joining us, on our little mission." She looks over the girl, "I see..." she says as a headache starts to spread, starting from the back of her head. She clenches her teeth, gripping her head, suppressing a scream as the ache grew stronger. Her eyes snap closed and her mind was zapped into the girl's. This was new. Her mind searched every inch of Cassandra's, finding strange things. She quickly came back to her own mind, staring intently at the new girl. Not saying anything, Blaze turnt around and started to walk home, ignoring what just happened. A clawed hand was placed on her shoulder, "Are you alright Zauberin?" Worry clear in his voice. She nods, "im fine...just a headache.." she says, leaving out what she saw in Cassandra's head. "Let's go home" she smiles"Ja, grab on to me." They nodded and placed their hands on his shoulder, all, three vanished in a loud bamf, reappearing in Blaze's apartment, They second their feet hit ground, Ignus immediately coughed up blood, "Oh Zhat's not good." He joked before his world blurred before he hit the ground.Blaze shook her head, catching him before he hit the ground. "I knew I should have told him no...." she mumbles to herself before dragging his limp body to the bed and getting him on it. She turns to Cassandra, "In  the cabinet closest to the window are glasses...grab a glass and fill it up with water. Under the sink are rags. Grab one. The cabinet closest to the fridge are bowls, fill one up with water too"  Ignus' face showed pain as he gritted his teeth in his sleep, "Nien, not again....not again."

Black sand began to writhe around him angrily, His eyes snapped open....but something was wrong, his eyes were a pitch black that seemed to absorb all light that came close with a small burning yellow flame where a pupil should have been, the sand rushed to Blaze and Cassandra, wrapping around their necks and raising them off the ground, as they struggled to breathe he said calmly in a distorted voice "Do mE a FaVor, ZeLl HiM, Lucifer, SaYs hElLo." His body fell limp once more and the sand slinked back into the depths of his sleeves dropping the two girls, leaving them gasping for air desperately.  Blaze stood shakily and encouraged Cassandra to go get what she asked for, then walked cautiously towards Ignus. "Ignus...?" She breathes out, voice hoarse. She gently touched his arm, to find it burning hot. She recoils her hand but then returns it, ignoring the burning sensation. "Ignus, I need you to wake up.."

Ignus' eyes snapped open showing fear filled crimson depths, startled and disoriented, his sand rushed forward almost reaching Blade before he managed to regain control over it. "Sorry Zauberin, Please explain to me vhat just happened, vhy is your neck red?" "I-its fine...you had a little accident..." she says rubbing her neck, not wanting him to feel guilt, his eyes glowed,  "Please Zauberin,.... Zell me." He pleaded softly. She bites her lip, "you went crazy in your sleep..said something about Lucifer...and your sand attacked us" His eyes widened with fear, he sunk to his knees repeating, "nien, not now, nien not here, please."She was confused, "Ignus? What's going on? Are you okay?" She was worried and Cassandra walked in. "Cassandra, can you wait in the living room please?" He looked up his eyes uncharacteristically dull,lacking their usual glow "Zauberin,..... Lucifer, he.... Zhink of him as a physical manifestation of my Enhancement,.... evil...insane.... I zhought, I had him under control,.... I'm sorry Blaze.... I hurt you." He said his voice shaking towards the end.She shakes her head, "i'm fine" she smiles and picks up what Cassandra left behind. She grabs the rag and bowl of water, dabbing at his forehead gently, to provide coolness and wiping at his lip, where dry blood rested. He looked at his arm, watching black sand like matter stitch up the wounds, "He.....he's my Sand." He said carefully after some time.
