Darkness. A sea of blackness stretched out in front of me forever. A must began to form and I could start to feel something soft on my back, as if I was laying on a bed. The mist continued to gather until all I could see was gray. The mist started to brighten until it is a blinding white light. The light dimmed and I saw I was laying in a soft bed. I looked around. The walls were those of the Devil's layer, rusted and fading. I looked around and saw machines that may have been hooked up to me, turned off and dormant. There was a single fluorescent lightbulb in the ceiling. I lay there for a bit, trying to remember why I was here. I finally remembered the fight on Mars, and I looked down at my arms. Three arms were normal , but one was robotic from the elbow down. This scared me and I fell out of the bed. Every part of me was sore, but I managed to get up. I found my cloaks laid out on a table nearby. It appeared they had been cleaned and mended from their tattered state. I put my cloaks on and opened a door. I walked out into a long hallway. I remembered this hallway well. The grimy Windows and wires hanging from the ceiling. I walked down the hallway to the Armory to retrieve my things. I walked in and found some dregs and vandals preparing for a mission. They saluted me and stood up straight. I walked straight past to the captain's quarters. I found a shrapnel launcher and two Shock blades. I looked around. There were two other captains in the room. I looked over at one and recognized one. "Skoei?" I said "Is that you?" The Eliksni turned around and he recognized me too. "Ezkor!" He shouted as he came over to greet me. We Skopje hands and I asked him. " What happened?" [i]Later[/i] The story was that after he had killed Ecoi, the skiff had taken off. The Wolves and Zelkir had carried me back to the skiff. We had headed straight for the Devil's base where I had been given surgery and had my robotic arm attached. I thanked Skoei, but I them received a message on the comms. [i]"Get to the strategy room"[/i] [b][i][u]Later in the Strategy Room[/u][/i][/b] "Yes sir. Right away." I said to my Kell. We had received more information on the House of Steel, and since I was out of surgery, I was to find them and finish the job. I looked at my Kell. He sat atop a throne in a room covered In computers. Circular work stations were scattered around, with vandals working in them. I bowed and turned to leave but then my Kell said "Stop." I turned around and looked at my Kell. He stood up and pulled out a mighty Shock blade, twice the size of a normal one. "Kneel" he commanded, and I obeyed. He placed the sword in my right shoulder. " I, ------ , Kell of Devils, hereby promote thee to rank of Baron, to assist me in my work and agenda." He raised the sword and sheathed it. I rose up. "You shall henceforth be known as Ezkor the Augmented. " he stated. " Now go, and kill this "Kell of Steel" " [b][i][u]Ketch of Steel[/u][/i][/b] I had infiltrated the ketch by hijacking a Steel skiff, and put on his armor. I used some cloaking tech to make my robotic arm appear normal. I entered the docking bay of the ketch, walking with a purpose throughout the ketch. My footsteps Echoed on the grated floors as I Approached the throne room. I enter into the throne room. "Why are you here?" Kezil growls at me. "You were not authorized to come in here!" She shouts at me. I simply draw my blades and charge forward, dispatching of Her Guard. I stab the servitor in the Eye and slice it in half. Kezil scrambles to find a weapon but can't. I walk slowly towards her and deactivate the cloaking on my arm. "I am Ezkor the Augmented, Baron of Devils. I am here to kill you for this." I hold up my robotic arm. She frantically tried to escape, but I block her off. "Today your reign ends." I say as I charge forwards and stab her. Ether pours from the wound and she falls on the floor on her hands and knees. She looks up into the face of her killer. [i]The air gets cold. A dark must forms. A small orb of darkness radiating energy appears over Kezil. It reached out with chains of darkness, it entangled her in it's dark net. She screams as she is sucked into the sphere. She folds in on herself sand disappears. A taken orb that signifies a taken arriving appears, growing bigger than any other Ezkor had seen before. It explodes outwards to Reveal Kezil, taken and changed. She cries out in agony and faces Ezkor, intent to kill.[/i]
