Ghost's POV:
Shadow looked petrified. I've never seen him like this. Ever. It's almost as if he has seen something he doesn't like. I then decide to try and go near him but he just backs away to the wall.
"Sh.. Shadow?" I then question worryingly, "wh.. what's wrong?"
"N..nothing." He replies.
"Shadow. Talk to me." I say sternly.
"There isn't anything wrong." He replies again.
"SHADOW EZIO AUDITORE! YOU TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG! How can i help you when you won't even tell me what's wrong?" I then say irritated at his responses.
"Because there is no one that can stop what I saw. Not even you." A tear fell down his cheek as he said those words.
I then put my hand on his cheek to wipe the tear away. I then pulled him into a hug in which he rested his head on my shoulder and began to cry.
"What's the matter?" I further question.
"I've seen something that I can't tell you." He then sobs.
"What have you seen?" I continue to question.
"I can no longer protect you. I can no longer fulfil my purpose. And I can no longer fulfil the promise I made you. Ghost I'm a bad person that's tried to do good but it has come back to haunt me."
"What are you on about. You are not a bad person! You saved me from being a bad person. You saved me from dying! How does that make you a bad person?" I ask in confusion.
"Because my purpose is to kill. My purpose is to destroy. And what I saw no person can stop. That's why I can't tell you. I can't to protect you." He states weakly.
Meanwhile elsewhere in the Demon Mansion:
Lucifer's POV:
My plan is working to perfection. She will become the daughter she should have been and she will be this disgusting planets downfall.
"What did I tell you. My plan is working and if anything we are ahead of schedule!" I say.
"It's working fine for now but I'm sure that wheezy shitbag has something up his sleeve." A voice from behind me states.
"But if it comes through me and you will become rulers of this planet. We could turn it into our own paradise." I reply with a smirk.
"There is only one problem with that." She counters.
"Oh aye" I reply.
"Me and you have very different thought patterns on the perfect world." She explains.
"Well we just combine them." I say a little irritated.
"I wouldn't be irritated mate. You forget part of your plan still has a flaw!" She points out.
"Explain." I say.
"Well you may have attempted to count for their friends but I bet you weren't counting on one of your grandchildren becOMING STUPIDLY POWERFUL!" She then shouts.
"What on Hell are you talking about women?" I question.
"Look at the screen." She simply states.
I do as asked and look at my monitors and there I saw something I've not ever seen in Hell! A girl with four red eyes floating above the ground and destroying hundreds of my demon Gremlins at once. Just ripping them apart with nothing but dark magic. I was to say the least very impressed.
"The question is. How did she get that gene? It's not part of my family at all!" I then say.
"What do you mean it's not part of your family. You are a fucking demon!" She shouts.
"Because not all demon genes are the same. Plus I've done my homework and Shadow is not who he says he is. Or at least he is some of who he says he is." I reply sinisterly.
"What do you mean?" She asks curiously.
"In that room is a scanning device. And it's scammed both Ghost and Shadow." I state.
"Ghost's results are exactly as they should be. My demonic genes and that's it. But Shadow's! His results should be just pure Assassin. They should be just genes of precision, brains, quickness and killing. But he isn't built like that! Take a look for yourself." I then say to her.
"Oh my god. Are you sure?" She asks.
"Definitely." I reply.
Third Person POV:
Outside in no mans land:
After the Gremlins had tried to defeat the Alter Egos they had moved further forward. Until they saw something in the distance.
"Is that what I think it is?" Blizzard asked.
"That most certainly is." Haylie replies happily.
"What is it?" Chara then asked confused.
Then Tara stepped in "Its the home of our...." Chills went up her spine "grandfather."
