Back at Purgatory, after approximately 18 hours of walking
Eve saw her base of operations, her home, reduced to nothing but rubble with the bodies and blood of her offspring seeping from under it. That made her shed a tear of sadness from each of her pitch white eyes, saddening her demon/jinn servants as well as her sinners who also shed tears of sadness like their progenitor.
Meanwhile Khalid was hatching a plan in his head to get his comrades out, taking advantage of the mourning his enemies were in, he thought, "maybe we could sneak out in the dead of night? But that means I need to know the time, and that is impossible inside this dark cave. looks briefly at Isaa and notices a dim light emitting from his pant pocket. No way, he did not... did he? But who?" that's when Isaa gave him a cheeky wink before pretending to be still knocked out again. That was enough to shine a small spark of hope inside Khalid's heart causing him to smile with glee before he got hit on the back by Kathrine who yelled at him, "YOU THINK JUST BECUASE YOU DESTROYED OUR HOME, WE'D GIVE UP AND STOP HELPING MOTHER MISTRESS IN HER HOLY MISSION?!"
Khalid replied as he spat out some blood and mucus onto the asphalted ground, "No, I do not think. starts sounding a little malicious. I KNOW, just like how I know how to turn you lot back into humans, and how you are all scared you shitless. I also know how strong I truly am!"
He then pulled her over his back before slamming her body onto the ground like he performed a judo move, Kathrine was effectively stunned by the move.
And just as he was turning around to face Eve, he heard a voice saying, "10% energy."
He suddenly felt extremely weak, so weak he collapsed from a sudden loss of stamina. He looked up from the ground and saw Eve looking at him intently with her soul piercing stare, it made him reconsider his future escape attempts.
However, when he looked at her more, he sensed a hint of relief behind her cold dead stare. As if a part of her didn't want to hurt him at all.
Then Malik looked at Kathrine as she was getting back up, she looked back at him with contempt due to their earlier exchange prior to becoming on the same side.
Eve had her feral sinners salvage all functioning equipment along with any clothing they might come across since they will be changing their Headquarters and going somewhere they could work without too much military interference.
She sat atop one of her bulkier demons and looked down on the trio of Theo, Isaa and Khalid. She admired their will to survive and for that, she offered them a proposition they could either refuse or accept.
She didn't wish to force them into betraying their duty and country, she knew how much it meant for them as soldiers. She made the offer to Isaa first after having Kathrine shake him awake, since they still were fooled into thinking he was unconscious earlier.
The shaking made him a little dizzy, but he was definitely awake now "offers what's left of her destroyed hand to him. Will you kneel before me? Will you accept me as your Queen and rightful ruler? Will you lay your life mortal life in protection of my nigh-immortal one?"
Isaa could feel the air get heavy around him, and he even started to breath hard, like her presence alone didn't allow for him to breathe. Through that however, he endured and persevered, he managed to resist her temptation and refused her offer, "I won't fall for them Jedi mind tricks lady! So that's a no from me".
That made Eve smile softly as she didn't want a weak-willed individual among her progeny, so she turned her gaze to Khalid who was just looking around trying to see when the assumed help Isaa called are coming, she offered him the same thing except she added, "Do you wish to rule with me?" That took him by surprise. So, he asked her, "why me? You have more than enough candidates standing around you, and they are loyal to YOU. They would be far better than someone who has nothing but hate aimed straight at you. And besides, you are too old for my-" she cut him off there saying, "speaks in a low and amorous voice. you are the only living being who I am unable to fully bring under my control, and I wish to make you mine due also to the fact you are his descendant. Now then, do you wish to rule with me?" Khalid thought about it, "marry a sexy dom mommy who is probably going to brainwash me, or save my friend and Theo from potential enslavement?" He weighed his options VERY carefully.
"Dude" said Issa before Khalid replied while still thinking, "I know I know, I should probably say no… But she IS a baddie though." Issa then reminded Khalid, "she's also hellbent on making more of these monsters who eat flesh. and kill us." that made Khalid retort, "nobody's perfect." Issa gave him a stern stare before Khalid reassured him, "I'm joking, I'm joking! I don't like to marry evil bitches anyway. But i do like to distract them." Khalid said while smiling at the confused Eve and her progeny of sinners and demons.
That's when a whole unit of soldiers stormed the cave. they wore all black with S.A.C.O written in white on the front of their vest with different ranks written in arabic on the backs of their vests. The unit moved like a single machine, shooting at the sinners who were protecting Sophia and the keeping the trio (Theo, Isaa and Khalid) captive.
Leading a unit was a short girl who wore the same uniform as the rest of the soldiers, but instead of a helmet she wore a beanie with a bishop chess piece embroidered on it. she looked at her men and said, "leave the humans alive, as for the sinners? eyes start glowing blue. You shoot any who oppose you."
With her commands, the soldiers quickly turned the battle in their favor, killing a substantial number of sinners and demons, and even making Eve retreat by using a sinner as a decoy in her stead.With her commands, the soldiers quickly turned the battle in their favor, killing a substantial number of sinners and demons, and even forcing Eve to retreat by using a sinner as a decoy in her stead.
She got shot by the soldiers anyways and then stabbed Theo with her broken hand stump and slowly wilted like a dead flower afterwards.
Theo screamed in pain as he felt his eyes melt in their sockets and his vision got darker and darker before he clutched his chest wound in pain. blood poured from his gaping wound till there was nothing left, causing him to FLOP! onto the ground, presumed dead.
Isaa looked at him then at Khalid who shrugged before speaking in an almost nonchalant way, "I had no way of saving him this time, how was I supposed to know she would just kill him and die right after?" "Well, he's as dead as my old Gameboy now, kinda don't feel sad about it though. is that haram? I feel like we shouldn't talk about the dead like this" Isaa said briefly, knowing that it isn't proper or appropriate to speak ill of the dead, especially the recently dead. "he fucking deserved it, I wish I killed him myself!" Susie added before kicking Theo's lifeless body, causing white blood to spill a little out of his gaping chest wound.
Malik then came and quickly snatched up the body of Theo before he flew out of the cave using his abnormal speed, leaving both Kathrine and Susie behind. Not even the soldiers of SACO could shoot him down.
Kathrine shouted to him amidst the shooting and bloodshed, "YOU FILTHY BAG OF CHICKPEAS! violently rips a soldier's head off it's body. THE MOTHER MISTRESS SHOULD HAVE NEVER LET YOU LIVE!"
Susie helped both Isaa and Khalid up saying, "I'm only doing this because I owe him one looks at Khalid. but don't even think for a SECOND that I'm forgetting about you not snitching on that dead asshole!"
She found some cover from the bullets flying past them from the soldiers' direction, hiding behind a pile of corpses to wait out the battle with Isaa and Khalid.
After a minute or so, Isaa broke the ice that seemed to have formed between her and them by asking Susie, "I know Theo was a massive piece of camel turd and an asshole, but what exactly did he do to piss you off that much?"
She ignored him and hugged her knees to her chest before burying her face in between in-order to block out the question she heard.
Khalid told Isaa as he offered him a canteen full of Zamzam water, "you remember Berserk right?" "Yeah grabs the canteen. we watched it when we were 13, what about it?" Isaa responded before he took a long swig.
"You know that specific scene in the anime with Casca and Griffith? Where Griffith forces her to do makes a gesture with his hand that looked like sex."
Isaa spits out the zamzam water, spraying it at Khalid's face shouting, "HE DID THAT?!"
Susie's just laying on the ground now, in a fetal position, wishing silently for the earth to swallow her up right this instant.
Khalid wipes his face with his sleeve and says "Fortunately not, he was about to. But he ran his mouth mid-way at me and then that Mother Mistress bitch came, and he ran away with his cock untouched." "that's not what he told me when we were at the cave entrance. he said YOU were the one doing all that, I couldn't believe him of course. You're too nice to do that kinda thing to anyone."
Isaa said before he looked at state of emotional distress Susie was in and then asked Khalid, "you think she'll be okay? These kinds of mentel wounds take a long time to heal" "I honestly do not know; she seems okay for now. She isn't trying to kill herself, so I guess that means she is recovering takes a quick look at her only to see she was still crying silently to her self. slowly though"
The shooting came to an abrupt stop, and the trio heard, "FAN OUT! FIND THE REMAINING SOLDIERS AND MOVE TO EXFIL! ANY SINNERS ARE TO BE SEDATED AND TAKEN INTO CUSTODY! THE PEOPLE AT R&D WANT NEW LAB RATS PEOPLE! MOVE MOVE!" coming from the other side of the pile of corpses they used as cover.
Eventually they were found by a man named Peterson Dragon who at first thought Susie was a normal human woman and Khalid was a lower ranked Sinner, but after Isaa explained what exactly happened to him and his platoon and friend, Peter decided to just bring them all in but had to sedate Khalid since he looked a lot more like a sinner then Susie, due to their eye difference with Susie's looking more human than Khalid's.
Peter escorted both Susie and Isaa to a helicopter, and he also ordered a few men to take Khalid into another much bigger helicopter saying, "he appears to be a lower rank sinner, be sure to stay on guard"
The soldier guards told him while holding back their laughter "you think a lower rank can take us out? laughs in mockery. you make us laughفارس/knight!, we fought tougher fuckers before" "yeah! you should have more faith in us Mr. Knight sir!" Peterson looked at them with his blue eyes changing to crimson red as he stated, "do NOT take him lightly, he might look like a low ranked sinnee, but he smells like the director" that sentence alone made the once proud and mocking guards look pale and scared before they reloaded their guns and said, "WE WON'T LET HIM GET US SIR" "YOU CAN REST EASY SIR!"
Peterson sighed and his eyes returned to normal when he did. He looked out to the dark cold skies of the desert and said, "I wonder what Lisa would do in this situation smiles brightly. i miss you dearly, my love."
