Anix speaks up. "Who exactly is X-319?" He asks as the guy in front from the DHC shakes his head. "We don't know. She is beyond anything we've encountered. She killed our top 7 agents in a matter of seconds when we deployed them to capture her. No one has seen her in person and lived, well not until today. We've only seen her in pictures of short video clips from cameras." He says as Raven steps forward. "What were those symbols I saw on the ground where her energy was?" Raven asks as the DHC officer replies. "We aren't sure but we have reason to believe that they are symbols of 5 extremely powerful beings. Kai, you know what you told us a few years ago? About Nemix and Zero? Well one of the symbols on the ground is the symbol of Nemix." He says as I nod. "Yea, but I'm still wondering how she made those symbols from blood. Whose blood did she use?" I ask as the officer shakes his head. "Our best guess is the blood is her own. But we're more worried about why she made the symbols. Is she summoning Nemix and the other 4 beings?" He mumbles as the 2 people behind him suddenly draw their weapons. The officer looks at each of us. "Sorry to do this, but you all are coming with us. We were given very specific orders to capture those directly associated with Silvia from 5 years ago. Really there's some we've already caught but we have to question you." He says as he grins. Zen tries to summon a sword but he just coughs and falls onto the floor. "What the hell?!" Zen yells as he wiggles a bit. "I can't move!" He shouts as the DHC agents move closer to us. "You were probably wondering how we found you so fast. How we knew where you'd be. Well we just put seals all over the building. Then we waited across the street for you to come home. We were only expecting to catch Kai, but fortune shines upon me today." He says as the agents lunge toward us. Velon jumps in front of me and gets tackled to the ground. "Kai! Run!" He yells as I bolt toward the door. Vexx and Anix tackle the officer and break his arm as I reach the door. As I throw it open I see 5 agents outside with guns pointed toward me. "Checkmate." I hear a female voice say as I get tackled from behind. I feel a hard hit against the back of my neck as my vision goes blurry. As my vision goes dark I hear laughing followed by a female voice. "The future is withering away, isn't it....Kai?" The voice says as I jolt awake. I'm chained to a wall with my shirt ripped off. There's 5 sealing tags on my chest and abs. I struggle to get free as a door across the room creeks open. A man wearing a doctor outfit walks in, pushing a tray full of tools. "Ah, awake are we? So, here's what's going to happen." The man says ares he points up at an angle. I notice a one way glass about 20 feet off the ground. "Ok Kai, they will ask questions and if you don't answer fast enough or give the answer they want, I get to have fun with my tools. And don't worry, there's just enough tags for you to heal back. That way we can have lots of fun." He says as I grit my teeth. A loud beep enters the room. "What's your name?" A voice says.
"My name is Kai Narukami." I reply. Momentary silence followed by another beep. "What are you?" He asks as I reply quickly "I'm half angel, half demon." Again, momentary silence followed by a beep. "Are you against humanity?" The question hits me hard. "What? No! I've been protecting humanity this entire time!" I yell as it beeps quickly. "Then why did you resist the DHC?" He asks as I quickly reply. "I haven't done anything wrong. Why am I here?!" I yell as the doctor stabs a knife through my hand. I grit my teeth and wince at the pain. "Oh right, you can't ask questions either." The doctor says as the I hear another beep. "You are allied with Satan, why is that?" He asks as I shake my head. "We're friends, but if he threatened humanity I'd have no choice but to stop him." I reply as there's an extended silence. I can feel blood running down my hand with the knife still jabbed into my hand. Another beep. "You have killed people before, why?" He asks as I quickly shake my head. "I only killed them because I was protecting my friends. And I haven't even killed that many. I will protect my friends if you want to hurt them for no reason." I reply as the beep comes instantly. "Kai, you have said before you want to be human. But the truth is you will never be human. How do you expect to live in a world that forever knows how dangerous you are?" He asks as I shake my head. "Only the DHC and a few others even know I'm not human. I blend perfectly." I say as there's silence. What are these questions? This has nothing to do with Silvia or X-319. Why am I being questioned? I think as I hear the beep once more. "Alright Kai, final question for a little while. Would you rather kill your friends to save the world. Or kill ten thousand innocent people to save the world?" He asks as I think about it for a minute. "I'd kill ten thousand people to save the world." I say as a sharp ring shoots through the room. The doctor quickly jams several knives into my arms and breaks my hand with a hammer. He laughs crazily as I scream out in pain. "That's all for now. We will continue the questioning until I feel that I have enough knowledge." The man says as the doctor leaves the room. I take a deep breath as blood drips from my arms and hand onto the white tile floor.
