Shattering Humanity-Chapter 129: Children Born From Love

{Roronora City’s Initiation Arena 4:30 P.M.}

While watching Jormungand go into the arena, Saku holding the pink studded leash, still attached to Drakaina. Her orange eyes filled with tears as she watches the door close behind her only little brother.

Saku side-eyes her and sighs, holding up his Master ticket.

Saku: "Listen, he’s gunna be fine. I’m pretty good at scouting talent. Let’s get our seats, start the plan, then get you two back to Sanpaku."

The cute girl nods, making the leash hook jingle.

From outside of the stadium, it is pretty crowded with loitering people. Food stands and people playing their guitar for loose change are around the circumference of the domed "basketball stadium".

As Saku and Drakaina wait in line, a man with a sleeping baby is going around to the waiting people in line.

Man: "Please, anybody, I just arrived here. My wife and I got ambushed by those aliens while she was giving birth to our crying baby! My wife didn’t make it. Can anyone watch my babygirl so I can fight one of those things!? Please, I’ll pay you when I can. I beg you!"

Drakaina goes to raise her hand but Saku pulls her leash down, stopping her.

Drakaina: "He-Hey! Why can’t -"

Saku: "Do you want to be stuck with a baby if that dude dies? You already replacing your little brother?"

Drakaina puffs her cheeks and stomps her foot down. The man walks away with nobody to watch his child and he is taken away by cops with their Roronora City versions of their SunSwords at the hips.

But before he can get put in their cop car, a beautiful tan hand is raised, with orange nail polish.

Zoram: "Give her to me!"

Everyone looks to see the beautiful ’Queen of Roronora’ in a white dress with orange hair matching her nails and her yellow left eye alongside her right Eyelien.

Saku’s eyes widen and he starts looking around while thinking to himself.

Saku(thinking): *Shit! That’s Laban’s wife! Does she know I’m not supposed to be here?! Is Laban here too? Did she beat Itsuka?! Did she beat Shelly?! Damn it!*

He looks around at the crowd outside and can’t see Laban.

The gorgeous Middle Eastern woman stands behind Saku and Drakaina in line, while she holds the blanket wrapped sleeping baby in her arms and the man is escorted to the back sign-up area.

Zoram looks at Saku and Drakaina in front of them with all concerns showing on her face.

Zoram: "Please, whatever you’re planning, don’t group everyone in a crowd together as savages. There are always a few innocents still amongst them."

Saku and Drakaina both give wide-eyed looks towards her.

As if the situation couldn’t get worse, the Don Laban walks up eating a teriyaki stick, a bag of them in hand. Her Eyelien in 2nd Stage with a smokey aura and everyone around is either leaving or side eyeing her to keep their distance. There is a familiar ’golden sheath’ on her left hip.

Laban: "Mmffmmm Gawd dishhit gud!"

She swallows her food. Once she sees Saku, the gangster feared throughout the city as the Don Laban, then gets comedically all girly and lovey dovey. Her aura goes right to pink from seeing Saku, and her voice goes to the same tone as seeing Princess Rebekah.

Don Laban: "There you are, Sakiii! See, ’I’ know the difference between a clone and the real you. Unlike that dumb half Völva bitch you left me to ’fight’ over you, teehee!"

Saku: "Völva?"

Saku’s eyes go to a Below Sanpaku and he grits his teeth.

Saku: "You beat-?"

Don Laban smiles and pulls out two more beef teriyaki sticks. She puts one in her mouth.

Don Laban: "Yep! Broke her knee and her ankle, just for you, my Sakiii! I can understand why you wanted to taint that Völva, she was a cutie, I thought about it too, but my dumb lil cuz wanted to interrupt."

She holds one of the beef sticks out for Saku but he hits it out of her hand and it falls to the city streets and slides. Drakaina yelps in shock.

It makes all the Roronora citizens around the arena, watching the Don, scatter in fear of what she’s going to do next to the disrespect.

Some stay and crouch down and cover the back of their heads. It goes silent but in contrast, the inside of the stadium is still bumping muffled music and there is a muffled cheerful scream of a crowd heard with it.

However, the Don’s eyes sparkle and she gets a giant smile.

Don Laban: "That’s such a great idea, Sakiii!"

While Saku is still angry, thinking about Itsuka being seriously injured, the Don Laban walks over to the teriyaki stick. She picks up the city street dirt and sand covered beef teriyaki.

She looks at the closest crouched man next to her and with everyone left still watching, she holds the disgusting meat from the street up to him. The man peeks up and sees her horrifying smile and her popped off Eyelien back to her smokey aura.

Don Laban: "Eat it! Or I’ll shove it down ya fuckin’ throat myself!"

The man’s shaking hand takes it. He looks at the food and back at the Don Laban. She takes a threatening step towards him.

The man’s shaking hand slowly raises it to his mouth. Everyone around watching, sweats or thanks God it wasn’t them.

Before the poor man’s teeth bite down for a hair and dirt covered bite, Saku’s hand pulls it away, and he eats it without a second thought. His Anjell Eye in 2nd Stage with a Yin aura. He EyeEngages with the Don.

Asll the pets around him throw out "Ewwws" and "Gross", but the Eyelien users are more fascinated by the unique aura. The pets have no clue why the Master’s are amazed at a man eating a disgusting teriyaki.

Drakaina looks to see who is holding her leash now, and Zoram is holding both the stranger’s baby and the stranger’s leash loop around her wrist. The Middle Eastern woman’s eyes fixate on Saku and his Yin aura, as well as the act of taking the punishment for another.

The sound of crunchy beef is heard in Saku’s mouth and he swallows it, throwing the bare stick.

He holds his hand out to help the man with the Eyelien up. The older man takes the help and Saku talks to him while still EyeEngaged with the smiling Don.

Saku: "Old man, can I ask you a favor?"

He holds up the Master ticket for Jormungand.

Saku: "Please, take care of that girl over there until her brother can obtain citizenship."

The Don Laban smiles and snaps her fingers. From the crowd a giant black man(shorter than TayTay), tattoos down his arms, and an Eyelien in his right eye. He steps between Saku and Don Laban, force breaking the EyeEngagement. Before Saku can circumnavigate around the wall of a man, a yelp from Drakaina is heard.

Saku sees the girl he was helping, with the Don behind her, being held up by the edge of a ’flaming sword’. Everyone has scattered, screaming, and makes the baby in Zoram’s arms start crying.

Zoram starts shushing the baby and her free hand begins absorbing the snow falling around them.

She rubs each ear of the baby girl, and ’small blue bubbles’ cover the baby’s ears making it slowly calm down. The announcer inside of the stadium can be heard after a mix of groans and cheers.

Announcer: "Ohhh, and now it’s feedin’ time!"

It is only Saku, Don Laban, Drakaina, Zoram with the baby, and the Don’s large lackey outside of the arena.

The smell of burning flesh forced under Drakaina’s nose makes her vomit on the blade, which just burns the puke to nothing.

The Don throws the girl down to the ground. Saku runs towards her, but the Don Laban points the flaming sword at her making him stop.

Drakaina begins sobbing and uncontrollably crying while keeping focus on the flaming sword from the golden sheath.

Don Laban’s aura is back to grey and she has a giant smile on her rainbow tear drop covered face.

Saku: "Laban!"

Don Laban: "Yes, scream my name, Saki!"

Saku’s Anjell Eye Yin aura grows larger and his nose twitches in anger.

Don Laban: "You may not be able to see far back in time long enough to know this ’Saki’, but those of us in the DaeMon Clan were created, just to stir up shit in this world. We were born of parents with spite in their hearts and who were more interested in their own survival by using us as weapons to gain revenge or to protect them."

Saku’s fists clench and he quickly looks at Drakaina who has her hand in front of her mouth. He quickly looks at the Don and EyeEngages.

Saku: "So you had shitty parents, big deal! I did too, but I didn’t turn into a deranged psychopath with a God complex! You should’ve learned from those shitty experiences and kept them in the back of your mind when thinking of causing harm to the undeserving!"

The Don Laban begins belly laughing at the sincere suggestion.

Don Laban: "HahahaHahaha! You of all people should get where we’re coming from, Saki, my love. The feeling of not being wanted. Knowing your existence wasn’t made from love but from evil, self centered, agendas and pleasures."

The flaming sword wielder looks down at her captive.

Don Laban: "DaeMons understand, WE exist solely because ’Children of Love’ exist. Children of Love like Katsu and Shelly. Haven’t you wondered why you just don’t get along with either of them? The only reason Katsu was your friend as kids, was because those dumb nerdy cartoons programmed his young naive mind into befriending loners."

Zoram looks at the sleeping baby with the ’bubble ear muffs’. She lets out a disappointed sigh.

Saku: "I’m nothing like you! I’m trying to help that girl you’re threatening to kill!"

Don Laban blushes and she giggles.

Don Laban: "Of course not silly! If it weren’t for this Eyelien ability, I wouldn’t understand why I feel this way looking at you, my Saki. But because of that little run in with our actual alien creators, you’re exposed as the Yin Vessel."

Zoram’s eyes grow wide and she looks directly at Saku.

Don Laban: "You’re the side of the balance that our parents created us to hate, and because of our own spite for our parents..."

She starts shifting her hips and blushes even more red.

Don Laban: "Ohhh Saki, please give me your seed and we can create a new baby of Yin! A new Messiah, the true second coming! We can complete Ragnarök and all other ’ends of times’, together!"

Saku is now raising his eyebrow at the woman.

Saku: "You are fucking insane!"

The Don smirks while keeping the blade close to her hostage. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Don Laban: "You think I’M insane, those two ’Children of Love’ are on their way here right now, and they are not happy. With either of us."

Saku: "Katsu and Shelly!? They’re on their way here!?"

The Don nods without breaking EyeEngagement.

Don Laban: "Mhm, it seems like that Yang vessel, Katsu, is with my little cuz...Awe, that’s so cute. She doesn’t know it, but she looks just like her great-Valkyrie grandma did when we jumped her for these legendary swords, and killed her. It’s been, what, almost 1,000 years now?"

Saku with his Anjell Eye in 2nd Stage, uses the Don’s ability to see what she’s talking about. Saku can see Katsu, the Yang vessel with his Anjell Eye having a matching Yin aura as Saku.

At the same pace as Shelly, her single golden braid and two blue beams where her eyes are.

While he uses the ability, the Don continues about Shelly’s ancestry.

Don Laban: "She was talkin’ bout ’already birthing her immortality’ or some nonsensical Norse BS. Then we cut her head clean off. Luckily, after we hit that lick, I got this sword, Surtr, the flaming sword.

Without it, we would never have been able to mass-manufacture those ’SunSwords’ you mountain folk used to barely stay alive.

Aaaanyways, since you want this cutie to live, just to see her brother again. Since you already have a little grudge with that Yang Vessel. Aaand since he’s going to be a hindrance for me, now that I have an Eyelien. I have a little proposition for you, my Saki!"
