Chapter 53 - The Story Of The Foolish Scientist Part 3 (1/2)
Age 1990
”So... So you killed the man!” Maudite said slowly.
”He was no longer a man...” Father Darvin muttered out as he shook his head. ”The Corruption changed him... Turned him into a monster... Killing him would have been a blessing for him.”
Maudite slowly inched away from the man.
Father Darvin continued his story. ”After I killed my friend, putting him out of his misery I managed to wobble back home. Thankfully that orange liquid didn't seem to have the properties of the crystal as it never transformed me. It also didn't take me very long to get back... You see in the room with the crystal there was a side path. That side path led to the room where we are now. This is the second, and last entrance to the cave... When I got back to the village I collapsed nearly instantly. When I woke up I explained everything to my father, and the other villagers...”
”Did they believe you?”
”Not at first,” Darvin said shaking his head. ”But I took them to the cave, and showed them the crystal. I instructed them to not touch it, no matter, what, under any circ.u.mstances.” He said slowly. ”My father, who is your great grandfather, decided to contact the Enforcers on our findings. He was hoping that the crystal would be worth a lot of Bells... Enough to save the village. I was still recovering though, so I was made unaware that more Enforcers were coming down... And it just so happens...”
Age 1978
Darvin sat in bed as he stared up at the roof. His ears twitched when he heard a loud metallic clicking sound followed by yelling from outside the building.
The older man let out a groan as he stood up grabbing a crutch as he wobbled outside. ”What the hell is everyone screaming about... I'm trying to rest-”
He stopped when he saw a large metal bus like thing.
”What the hell... Why is that here.”
”Ahh, my son...” A voice said. Darvin turned finding an older man in a priest robe walking towards him. It was his father, and the village leader. The current Father Darvin...
”What is this Father?”
”Ahh... This is... The Enforcers...”
”Okay, but why are they parking their moveable base here?” Darvin hissed slightly. ”We do not allow technology in our village.”
”Relax my son... It is only temporary...” The Father said as he gave a weak smile. ”They will relocate to the entrance of the cave soon.”
”How many of them are there?”
”Not many... I think only four.”
”Should you be out of bed father?” Darvin questioned.
The Father simply shrugged. ”I do not know, and I do not care... Why don't you go pay the Enforcers a visit?”
Darvin let out a slight grunt as he turned his body and began to walk to the large metal machine that was parking right next to their frail wooden gate. He let out a heavy sigh as his eye twitched. Finally, he stopped walking as he stood outside the door to the base.
After what seemed like forever, the door finally swung open. And out stepped a young woman in a lab coat.
”You...” Father Darvin said in a hiss, as he stared at the woman. ”You're the girl that stole my son... Turned him into an outcast!” He roared as he rocketed forward only to be stopped when a hand grabbed his arm.
”Hello... Father...” Yusei said slowly as he stared into the eyes of his shocked dad. ”It has been a while, hasn't it. Ten years?”
”Yusei...”
”I go by doctor Darvin now.”
”What is this...” Darvin asked stepping back.
”Well... After I left I joined up with the Enforcers. Maudite has been a real help, teaching me all the stuff about the outside world.”
”Maudite?”
”That's me!” The girl said waving her arm slightly as she smirked. ”Your son is really smart Mr. Darvin. He has also taught me a lot. In no time at all, he easily reached the rank of Vice-Captain for squad nine. He has been a great help!” She said smiling slightly.
”You traitor...” Darvin said slowly as he stared at his son. ”You left, to become an Enforcer?”
”Dad they needed me,” Yusei said stepping away. ”I've been doing great things, and solving so many problems-”
”You left! Abandoned us! Abandoned me!”
”What seems to be the problem?” Everyone stopped as they turned to see the Father walking up.
”Ahh, grandpa!” Yusei said when he was the old man.
”Yusei!” The father said smiling lightly. ”It has been a while.” He held his hand out shaking his grandson's hand.
”Indeed it has,” Yusei said nodding. ”By the way. This is my girlfriend Maudite. We're actually engaged now. We plan on having the wedding once we get back!”
”That's great!” The Father said as Darvin held his tongue. He still couldn't stop the sour look that came on his face as he stared at his son and his 'fiance...'
”Anyways... Let's get down to business shall we?” Maudite asked clapping her hands. ”Where is this crystal located?” She questioned.
”Near a cave...” The Father said. ”My son will take you guys there!”
”What!” Darvin said horrified as he stepped back. ”You want me to go with them!”
”Yes...”
”No! Absolutely not-”
”Serotobi!” The Father said in a powerful voice. It didn't last long though as seconds later he broke out into a coughing fit.
”Father!”
