[b][u]Chapter 11 Exo or Human[/u][/b] Five years later "Good cause we couldn't handle another second in there!" Said Shadow “You just said we again.” “No, I said I.” “We need to get you checked out.” “If we must” “We must” At the tower Kayzahr and Shadow when to the ghost doctor, Zanzer-56 “Hey doc, you have a min?” asked Kayzahr “As a matter of fact I do, what can I help you with?” “Shadow seems to be acting up…” “No we aren’t.” Shadow interrupted “Hm… I see what you mean, let my run an analysis on him, if you don’t mind Shadow.” “No we don’t mind.” “Ok I’ll need you to float over this pad for a minute.” “Ok” A few scanning beams passed over Shadow “Scan complete… It appears that nothing is wrong, at least nothing is showing up?” the doctor said confused “See we are not in bad condition.” “Actually, there is one thing that the scan barely picked up I trace amounts.” “What is that?” asked Kayzahr “Void, darkness and light, that can’t be possible a ghost is light, not darkness or void?” “What does this mean for us?” asked Shadow “Well I don’t know but I can’t help you anyway… this is beyond my expertise.” “What do you suggest we do?” asked Kayzar “Find someone with experience with this… whatever it is.” Zanzer awnsered “Do you know where we might find such a person?” “Not a person no, I’m the best doctor for ghosts. Not to be prideful but, dare I say it, you need an Ahamkara Doctor.” “Ahamkar? they are hostile I thought?” “That is what the vanguard want you to think, so they announced an Ahamkara hunt starting sometime soon.” “Why” “Because the Vanguard fears their knowledge, and their power; both of which are stronger than one hundred guardians combined.” “Well looks like I’ll be making some new friends.” “Be careful though, Shadow is not himself, he might try to lead you astray.” “Ok, I will, thanks doc.” And with that Shadow and Kayzahr set out for Ahamtar sector, Venus. Present time “Why do I hurt so badly?” Asked Kayzahr “Son you should be dead.” said the doctor standing near Kayzahr’s bed “Why, what happened?” “You broke every bone in your body, and half of your brain was not savable. We had to use a discontinued Exo's body to replace your bones and brain.” “Where am I?” “In the tower’s infirmary” “Are the others ok?” “Yes, you were the only one to take a nearly lethal hit.” “Where is Shadow?” “I’m here.” He said appearing out of thin air “You have some visitors so I will let you alone.” said the Doctor as he left the room “Hey how are you doing?” asked one of the guardians that Kayzahr fought with “I’m alive, that’s all that matters.” “Such a warlock.” said the other guardian as he left the room to go get another assignment “Did we win?” “Yeah, but not without a cost” “What was the cost?” “You and your ghost” “What’s wrong with Shadow?” “That’s the problem, we can’t find anything wrong.” “Then what’s the problem?” “He was injected with something, if you could say that, by an acolyte.” “What?” “That’s what we can’t find out.” “Describe it to me.” “Looked like all the others, but I did notice it had a tattoo like thing on its arm.” “What did it look like?” “It was a rune within a crescent moon.” “I have to go.” “No you don’t, you just nearly died, and we can’t bring you back once your dead.” “I won’t die, I have to talk to the leader of that cult.” “Wait how do you know that is a cult? Hive do not have cults.” “That’s what the hive what you to think. They have many cults.” “How do you know this?” “I did a reconnaissance mission for Daynahrd a while back, right about the time I first came to the tower, I sent enough time in the hive pits to remember how to write some hive.” “Ok, then what can we do?” “Stay here and help anyone that needs it, I have to go alone.” “But we could help you.” “No, you would only alert the guards, and it’s in the bottom of the hive pits you couldn’t stand the smell.” “Ok, but be safe.” “I will.” As always leave any writing help in the comments!
