Chapter 6 An Unpleasant Awakening
524 Words
Keila woke up after what felt like a lifetime. She was standing up, and despite the pain in her legs, she couldn’t fall to the ground. An invisible force field was encapsulating her, preventing her from moving at all, except for her eyes. She gazed around the room, and she saw a reflective surface, where her reflection showed. She was shocked by what she saw.
Her eyes were glowing purple, and the texture of her skin had changed completely: It was wrinkled like the skin of a 100-year-old and thick and grey like the skin of a reptile. Her body was in pain, particularly her legs that were burning with lactic acid. She heard a door open, and things weren’t improving as the Xeno-Zetan hybrid demon Rangda entered the room.
Rangda:
- Hee-Hee-Hee-Hee!! We meet at last. Apologies for the lack of formal introduction on Earth, but I had limited time during the battle for such ploys!
Keila:
- Apologise for taking me prisoner instead, after opening the portals on the Cheops Pyramid like you’ve asked me to! How long have I been here?
Rangda:
- You are not a prisoner yet. You are merely detained to ensure you are no danger to yourself or others. Although I must admit, you might have outlived your usefulness!
- As for the time passing since you fell unconscious, not much.
- The change in your physical appearance is merely a side effect of the ritual I used to absorb your psionic powers into the corrupted Zeto Crystal.
- But worry not; neither the aging nor the ritual will kill you here in the Divine Dimension. Unless I intend for it to happen.
Keila:
- What are you talking about, you hideous and wicked creature?! I helped you. If you are going to betray me, do it quickly instead of dragging things out!
Rangda:
- No! That is not going to happen. You see, I need you. The ritual that powers up my dark crystals kills Zetans outright, but since you are a Human-Zetan hybrid that has some of Zetan DNA, I can continually drain energy from you without killing you.
Keila:
- So, what do you want?
Rangda:
- Well for starters, I want revenge for my mother through wiping out the Zetans species that betrayed her.
- But ultimate I want what the Zetans strived for but could never truly achieve. I want to reach godhood; I want to replace The True Maker as the almighty deity of the universe!
Keila:
- The True Maker?! That’s insanity! How would you possibly achieve that?
Rangda:
- You shall see sweet sister, you shall see. But for now, it’s time for you to sleep!
After saying this, Rangda blasted Keila with a powerful psionic blast that knocked her unconscious. After that she used the corrupted Zeto Crystals that radiated with darkness like a black hole, to drain Keila’s body even more. Rangda watched how Keila’s unconscious body was twisting and shaking, and Rangda laughed out loudly with a burst of twisted, diabolical laughter.
