## Kingdom of Nebran

* M: Horns? He must be a... Nephilim... it's been a while since I saw one
* I can't say I have the best memories about them...
* But I'm sure I'll meet a lot in the big city, I'm kinda nervous and excited about it, this is the first time I leave my town.

#### **Aftermatch**

* Hernaxyom... your arm...
* Uh? I'm ok, don't worry
* But you're bleeding, let me see that (Macklanya aproaches Hernaxyom and grabs his arm) Hernaxyom, it's broken, you need to see a doctor!
* I'm alright, this is nothing
* But...
* This is just a little reminder of my failure
* What do you mean?
* It's my fault Aria and Gado died, a broken arm is nothing compared to that
* Hernaxyom... you still need medical attention, I know how you feel but
* Macklanya
* Yes...?
* You need to head to Volcano Town
* I know, I told Sir Meren to ask King Crom to send us help
* Alright (Hernaxyom sat on a rock while staring off into the space)
* At least let me see that (Macklanya carefully grabbed his arm while trying to figure out a way to stp the bleeding)
* Oh, wait here (Macklanaya suddenly walked away looking for something)
* (After a few minutes she came back carrying her backpack)
* At least let me help you with that (she took some bandages and carefully covered Hernaxyom's broken arm)
* It's not much, but that should help for now, however, you need to see a doctor, you're really hurt and not just your arm.
* (Hernaxyom stayed silent while staring at her)
* What? Why are you looking at now?
* He's alive
* Aaaaah! Really?? (Macklanya jumped out and hid behind Hernaxyom)
* I'm just kidding (said Hernaxyom emotionless)
* Damn you! Why do you scare me like that??? You're an idiot! (Macklanya then proceeded to hit him)
* You worry too much
* Of course I do!
* That's funny
* No, it's not... are you sure he's dead though?
* I'm sure, plus crows know better than me (said Hernaxyom while looking at Rexo's corpse surrounded by crows)
* I don't enjoy people deaths, but I'm really relieved that he can't hurt anybody else
* Yeah... he was a tough one, but...
* Hm?
* He's nowhere close to the strongest ones
* Are you telling me Karx has way stronger men among them?
* Mhm, he might have been strong but he was just a low rank soldier
* Don't scare me like that...
* I wish I was joking but I'm being honest, I know how terrible Karx can be
* (Macklanya frowned and then sat next to Hernaxyom)
* Well... even if that's the case, all you have to do is defeating them all... and you can do that, right? I mean... you're smarter than I thought
* What is that supposed to mean?
* Well, when I first met you, I thought you were the kind of person who would just rush into a fight without a second thought, but you proved to be really careful about it, you're gathering information and getting ready for your next move, you didn't even lose your cool while fighting that monster, you're certainly smart...
* I can't be stupid and reckless about Karx, if I was, I'd be dead by now
* But there is something I don't understand
* What is it?
* Well, if they're so powerful, why don't they just take control over the world? Why don't they just start a war and conquer everything? Why is stopping them?
* Why would they do that though?
* Why not? Why keeping their activities underground when they could just take over everything and do whatever they want? Perhaps they're not as strong as they claim?
* Well, I can answer that for sure, only they know why, but in order to do that they would need to start a war and that means losing a lot of their members, they could win, yeah, but they'll face opposition, I don't know how strong the Hunters are, but from what I've heard, they could be a challenge for some of their stronger members, plus, a war would kill a lot of people and that's not good for their project, they need as much people as they can get, a war means death, terror, instability, chaos... why going through all that pain when they can achieve their goals more easily this way? Most people are unaware of their existence, they can work together with governments making it easier for them to have access to people trust, they can kidnap as many kids as they wish and use them for their projects, lot of them are rich and powerful and people are unaware of them, or even worse, they trust them... in other words, they're taking over us without us noticing it, is not that a lot more scary?
* Ok ok... I get it, that explanation makes it very clear... Sigh, it's scary to think I was unaware of all this til just a few weeks ago, how naive.
* I think it would've been better if you didn't know about all this to be honest
* Why? I always wanted to know about Karx, but everyone always kept saying they were a myth, that after we won the Blood War, Karx was completely destroyed and the few ones alive weren't a threat, but deep inside, I knew something wasn't ok
* Well, I still think it would've been better if you didn't know so much, you should try to live your life without worrying about it
* That'd be too easy... I could pretend everything is ok and do nothing, but I can't just be like that, I feel like I've been living in a bubble this whole time... I feel like... want it or not, I'm part of this too, my father was one of them after all...
* Your father?
* Mhm... I said I never met my father, but the truth is I did, and I always knew he was part of Karx, but I just tried really hard to think that wasn't true, I convinced myself he was just a delinquent, a criminal, I don't know, anything could have been better than that
* Was he bad?
* Well... he never hurt me directly, but... he was still awful
* Hmm...
* He hurt my mom, lot of times, over and over again, the few times he'd come home, he'd hurt my mom, physical and mentally, the worst thing though... is my mom loved him, she loved him too much
* That sure sounds awful
* She kept saying he wasn't bad, that he loved me, but that was hard to believe
* Was he bad to you?
* ... I don't know... as I said before, he never tried to hurt me, he even tried to get close to me many times, but I just couldn't trust that person
* But he was my father, haha... like it or not, I am like him too, I have two horns, they might be small but that's a irrefutable proof, I'm half nephilim and can't deny that and... half Karx?
* (Hernaxyom exhaled trying to not laugh) There is not such thing as half Karx
* Are you sure? One of them is my father, my mom loved one of them, like it or not, I was raised and educated thanks to him, and then my life was saved by an ex member of them, twice, I must be a Karx too!
* Why do you hate them though?
* Are you serious?!
* Yes, have they ever taken the life of someone you loved?
* ... no...
* Then why do you hate them?
* They have been taking the life of innocent people for decades, they have no respect for life, I would've been killed by one of them if you weren't there... how can I not hate them?
* I'm not saying you shouldn't hate them, I just want to know your reasons
* How about you? Do you hate them?
* No, I want to destroy Karx, but I don't hate them
* I see... you know, Hernaxyom, my father...
* (A sudden noise interumpted the conversation while Meren arrives in a helicopter)
* I'm sorry to keep you waiting, guys, but getting all this wasn't easy.
* It's ok. We should go, Macklanya
* Yeah, you're right Hernaxyom
* (As soon as Hernaxyom tried getting up he heavily fell to the ground unconscious)
* Hernaxyom?!

## Lockhart City

* P: There you are, come this way

* They enter the building and go through multiple halls and floors
* K: This place is huge!
* P: Ok, first off, I need to talk with you (looks at Hernaxyom)
* H: Huh... alright
* K: Eeeh, we travelled so far and that's the first thing you say to us, how rude
* P: Ugh, you all can get food and rest here, I just need to talk with him, ok
* Ha: Food...
* Butler: Please, this way, let's head to the dining room
* K: Oh, dining room!
* Ha: Hernez...
* H: Hm?
* Ha: Be careful with him
* H: I will
* (He heads to another room)
* H: Ok, tell me
* P: We have data about the most recent disappearance in a school, Lockhart City... 2 students are missing ever since last year and no information about it in the media...
* H: So... Karx
* P: More likely, now I need you to sign up for the Hunters
* H: What? Why?
* P: If you wanna have access to confidential information you need to be a member, and with your current power level, you're more likely to get a good status here
* H: I don't wanna be part of this, I like to work on my own and by my own rules
* P: So do I, you don't need to follow most rules though, you'll have freedom to do almost anything and in exchange you'll access to the Hunter's database, sounds pretty good to me
* H: Even so, if I register my name on Hunter's database, I'd stop being an anonymous fighter and actually have a name and a reputation Karx might have access to
* P: You're wrong, it's true that you have to register yourself on here but you can always use a fake name and info.
* H: I can't fake my face or the historial I'll have
* P: Actually you can, after you register on the Hunters we can modify your information
* H: Is that possible?
* P: Well, Jared and I have access to the database so we can modify it at will, ofc it's against the rules but whatever. You will need to trust us.
* H: Hmm... if Karx or anyone else has access to our info, things will get 1000 times harder and our mission will be way more risky, you know that
* P: I know
* H: What about the others? Are you gonna make them sign up too?
* P: Ozxon, Lantoz and maybe Nadya and Mike meet the requirements to join the Hunters but the rest... I don't think they can join us
* H: Hmm... what do you suggest then?
* P: Well, the first thing I can say is they should go home, this mission is already risky for us, therefore it'll be extremely dangerous for them, we can't assure anyone's safety
* H: They're aware of it, yet they decided to come, they're joining me either the Hunters want it or not
* P: You don't care if they all die because of you?
* H: ...
* P: They'll be safer with Zoxkar than with us
* H: I didn't force them to come, it was their own free choice and it'll be theirs if they wanna continue with us, if the Hunters don't want them with us, we will leave and do things on our own. If you change your mind, I'll join you, otherwise we're leaving
* P: ...
* (Hernez leaves)
* (Pestripes stands there and thinks about Kina)
* (Hernez enters the dining room)
* M: Oh Hernaxyom, what happened?
* (Hernaxyom stares at all of them while staying silent and thoughtful)
* Ha: Anything wrong, Hernez?
* H: Hm? Oh, no...
* N: Is there any new for us?
* H: Well, I think we'll be heading to Lockhart city tomorrow
* M: Lockhart city? Why that place?
* H: Karx seems to have been kidnapping people there
* O: Hmm...
* H: But I have something to ask you guys
* M: What is it?
* (H stares at them for a few seconds)
* H: This mission is extremely dangerous, the chances of something going wrong are too high, if Karx get ahead of us and find out our plans, they'll send people to eliminate us and I can't be 100% sure we'll be able to defeat them. Macklanya, you remember what happened before, you almost got killed by Rexo, things like that could happen again, they're not the kind of people who you'll have a second chance with.
* M: What are you trying to tell us, Hernaxyom...
* H: I'm trying to tell you guys, that if you're not 100% sure about this, you shouldn't come with us, the risk is too high, I want to know if you all are 100% sure you want to do this.
* N: I understand...
* L: Why are you asking us this? We already knew that, if you're trying to convince us to not come us, just say so
* N: Lantoz, I don't think that's what he means
* K: Or maybe you don't want us to be a nuisance for you...
* H: What?
* K: Just say so, Hernaxyom, we're not as strong as you, we're weak, I am weak and useless for you, you don't want to deal with weak people like me!
* H: That's not it
* K: It is! You don't want simple humans to help you with this!
* M: Kina, that's enough!
* K: I don't understand why you all can't see it, we're weak, he's strong, he doesn't need us!
* P: Kina, shut up!
* K: Pestripe..
* P: You're wrong, I am the one who suggested him to send you guys home but he refused
* K: Is that true? Why?
* P: For your own safety, but he said he wouldn't leave you guys behind if you wanted to come, so if you wanna be mad at someone, be at me or shut up
* K: I... didn't know that... I'm sorry, Hernaxyom
* H: Sigh, you're so noisy and stupid
* Ha: Hernaxyom!
* H: Hm?
* (Herxya stands up and gets close to Hernez)
* Ha: I'm going with you, no matter what, I promised I would and nothing will change my mind
* M: Same, I've traveled long enough with you, Ik how dangerous it can be, I'll go
* N: Mhm, if we're all together we can do this
* X\*: Hernaxyom, this mission is really important for all of us and therefore it's something I have to, even if I'm scared, I'll keep going
* H: I understand... thanks
* L: I don't think I have to say anything, you already know what we think
* O: Yeah...
* K: I'm sorry for being so inconsiderate...
* H: Forget it, can't blame you for thinking that
* P: Hernaxyom, since everyone made up their mind, I think you win, but it'll be everyone responsability to stay away from danger and listen to us
* H: We don't know what we might run into, why we need to train hard enough to be ready for any enemy

## Danstown

* Spicy: Hmm... can I see them?
* Rax: You'll never change, will you?
* S: You know I can't help it, haha~
* R: Go for it
* S: Yay
* (Enters the room where Exio and Seri are recovering)
* S: Oooh... you two sure got a good beat up, haha. Hey, Exio, can you hear me?
* E: ... Liutenant...?
* S: Mhm! What was the name of the person who did this to you?
* E: I don' know... I just remember his face... but that's it
* S: Aww... well, I think should be enough to track him down, he should be along with that Hunter Pestripe too, right?
* E: Yeah... I'm sure they're working together...
* S: Ok (big smile) Recover soon, ok?
* E: Lieutenant... I am useless now... I'm not worth serving the White Army anymore...
* S: Hmm why?
* E: I am useless... I lost my arm... I've just been downgraded, my body is useless... please, take my life
* S: No.
* E: Why...??
* S: Well, for one the captain said he wants you alive... and...you know I don't like to kill our members, hehe
* E: I'm sorry, lieutenant...
* S: Just shut up, everything will be over soon, hehe...
* (Some time later)
* R: So... you want to take on them both by yourself? Seriously?
* S: That's right!
* R: You really are reckless
* S: Eeeeh... why? Do you think they can defeat me?
* R: I didn't say that... but you're taking everything too lightly
* S: Oh please, I really want to have fun with them, you didn't allow me to fight against that Hunter, I wanted to do it so bad...
* R: Huh... fine then, I'll let you know their locations so you go and find them yourself, but... remember they're altogether, it's very risky to go all by yourself
* S: That's the fun part! I want to take on the 3 of them!
* R: Let me tell you something, if you lose because of your imprudence... you'll be removed from the position of lieutunant, I hope you know that
* S: Yeah, I know that, haha!
* R: ... You really are confident, aren't you?
* S: Mhm! Thank you, I'm so excited!!

## Where have you been, Hernez?

* N: I guess you already realized of how bad the situation is, huh?
* H: I was expecting it to be honest
* N: Why did Pestripe refuse to go train though?
* H: Just one word: Kina
* N: Hmmm... that's cute though...
* H: Hm?
* N: I mean! I know the situation is really serious but... I find it cute that he rather stay here instead of going far away to become stronger. I know it might sound stupid for you but, I think that he, very deep down, would rather the Earth to disappear before losing Kina, haha...
* H: You think so?
* N: Well, he's the only one who knows that, but yeah, probably
* H: You've known him for longer, so maybe you are right
* N: Though, it's admirable that you decided to go instead, it'll be very hard but I know you'll do it
* H: Well, I don't really have any other choice... there is no way we would be able to face the executioners in our current state... Madox was very clear with me, if we don't increase our power, not only us but everyone here will die.
* N: Yeah... they're extremely dangerous
* H: But you know... I'd rather stay too
* N: Is that so?
* H: Yeah... there are times when I wish we didn't have to worry about life and death anymore, and just enjoy the moment I guess? I know it's stupid and impossible but, I'd like to know how that feeling is I guess?
* N: \*Chuckle\* I see
* H: Why do you laugh?!
* N: I just think that's cute coming from you... Mr. Cold
* H: Mr. Cold? Is that my new nickname?
* N: Yeah, Mr. Cold
* H: Alright...
* N: \*Sitting on Hernaxyom\* Where have you been, Hernez?
* H: What do you mean...?
* N: \*Stares deeply\* I mean where have you been?
* H: ...well, I've always been here, perhaps you couldn't see me?
* N: Yeah, that's probably true, silly me
* H: Don't worry, it's really hard to see me after all
* N: No, not really, I'm just dumb, haha... very dumb
* H: \*Getting closer to her and grabbing her hand\* So am I...
* N: \*She smiles\* ...hey, people might get the wrong idea...
* H: You're right \*he gets even closer to her\*
* N: Don't dare to make me fall for you, idiot...
* . . .

## Nykla's realization

* (Deris and Nykla were outside for a walk when they suddenly felt a strong presence)
* N: That power...
* D: What's wrong, sis?
* N: I can feel a very strong presence in that direction, this can't be good
* D: Our house is that direction, could it be that Hunter again?
* N: No... this presence is different... we must hurry!
* D: But sis... (she grabs him by his arm and flies to the house)
* (Few minutes later)
* Rexo: I can't believe some simple humans could engage in a relationship with someone like Nykla... this is such a disrespect... you humans deserve to be punished
* F: Damn you, monster! (the father shots him many times but it's obviously useless)
* R: Filthy humans aren't necessary for this planet, you all are just simple trash in this world... disappear!
* (He kills them both with his fire canon)
* (Nykla arrives a few seconds late, Rexo already left, the house is destroyed)
* N: Miss Ennya, mister Herbet, where are you??!
* (She manages to find the corpses)
* N: This... can't be... noooo!
* (. . .)
* D: Sister, where are you?!
* N: Deris... no, Deris, don't come here!
* (Nykla runs to him and take him away from the house in flames)
* D: Where is mom and dad, sis? Where are they?
* N: Deris...
* D: Did something bad happen to them?
* N: I'm sorry, Deris
* (. . .)
* N: Deris, this place is very dangerous right now, I need you to head to the police station, the Hunters should be here soon, once they arrive, leave with them
* D: Why? Where are you going?
* N: I need to take care of this problem, the person who did this is nearby... I need to get rid of him...
* D: I understand... sis, be careful.
* N: I'll be ok, but please go to a safe place and don't follow me, please
* D: I understand, sis, make that person pays for what he did
* N: Mhm... now go, hurry!
