Xerson walked through the halls of his labs. Nothing seemed to be working and he couldn’t turn anything on. So the conclusion he came to was that the reactor shut down and that meant that the barrier was down. Which explained why there was a stench of darkness, he rolled his eyes and walked on towards the reactor room. Bringing up a map on his organization computer he activated a scanner. Continuing towards the right hall he stopped as a life signal came up inside the reactor room. His eyes flashed. It wasn’t heartless so it was someone living. He continued to the doors and listened. Nothing but grunting like someone was hurt. He opened the door chains ready to destroy the intruder, but all he saw was an old man. The man looked terrified for a second but he then relax as he called the name of who was about to kill him. “Merric…or should I say Xerson.” Xerson kept his guard up, he was rusty but not so that he was going to be tricked by an old man. “Who are you and why are you in my lab?” Xerson stared into the darkness and waited for the reply. The old man shifted slightly on the floor and cleared his throat. “You mean our lab and my name is Merric, Master Merric.” The old man coughed and Xerson’s eyes went wide. With questions racing through his mind he released his chains back into the darkness. “How do I know it is you?” Master Merric shifted again and pulled out a small container and a Heart twirled inside. Xerson saw his heart and froze. “Then it must be true.” Xerson walked over to him and took the container from Master Merric. Master Merric coughed and said with a weez “I have waited for the past three hundred years, jumping in and out of worlds avoiding them till you showed up. I knew you would be here.” He coughed again. “You must act quickly they will be here soon. The last bit of my power truly now belongs to you.” Master Merric brought up a hand before him summoned the last bit of his own brand on magic. The summoned orb floated to Xerson and into his chest. It was an odd feeling in his body to have magic again. Master Merric coughed once more before the light in his eyes dissolved into darkness and a beast sprang from him. It yelled out to someone “He is here come quickly before he escapes.” Xerson didn’t know the beast but he sensed something familiar about it. The beast came at him with ferocity and Xerson in defense drop the container blocking the attack. The container however was not so lucky, it had shattered on the ground and now the beast was looking at the heart as it began to float away. The beast and Xerson at the same time jump after it and in a flash Xerson snagged it with a chain. Time seem to freeze again as the heart was absorbed accidently by the chain. The chain became luminescent and burst away. Xerson dropped to the ground and lay there as his heart reassimilated into his being. In the last second that he dropped to the ground the beast and shadowy creatures came at him and in the back ground he heard a cackle that he knew all too well echoed in the back ground. Right before the beast was about to scratch him he felt his body falling and his mind became sleep and he heard as he disappeared her yell out “No we must have him don’t let him get away you fool!” Green flame burst about in the room and he was gone.
