The Fallen Zodiac

Chapter 2

Negotiations and Treaty

World Peace Maintaining Organisation, Florida.

Andrew entered the meeting hall, all the directors and the heads of all the department were discussing about the arrival of this super deity from other dimension. Andrew stood before the council.

“Captain Andrew, what are your view on this being that just appeared?” the head of the council, President of the WPMO asked.

“Sir, as far as my views are considered, this being is not interested in destroying or doing any harm to this place. His intentions are different, if we would have an interface with him we could decide whether he pose a threat to the world or no.” Andrew replied.

“Can we stop him if we he proves to be an enemy of ours?” the head of arms department, Colonel Jim asked.

“It seems that, this being has immense strength as the Zodiacs’, assaulting him could prove fatal to us.” Andrew replied.

“Strength considerable to those Lab Rats, impossible there was no such being that can match their strength, even our mutant army is weak before them.” The research head replied.

“i do know sir. I have lost many of my men to them and i have faced them myself, the aura those monster emit is the same that I sense from this new being.” Andrew replied. Being a light mutant himself, Andrew’s instinct were far more developed than a normal human.

“If you say, we will have a conversation with this creature.” The President declared. Andrew bowed before the council and left the room. His thoughts has taken his far away to the black day in his life.

Andrew entered the inquiry cell, the man was sitting the chair across the huge table. The room was empty, there was a huge glass plane on the right wall, beyond the plane were the people observing them. As the man noticed Andrew, he raised his hand, greeting him. Andrew sat on the chair facing the man

“Why do a request for only me?” Andrew asked. “They were higher order than me.”

“Ah! I don’t care about order, i just wanted to talk someone interesting, that’s it.” The man replied. Andrew smiled, the higher ups had told him a heap of questions to ask him about. Before Andrew could begin his interrogation, the man began his side.

“Each of us have a lot to ask about, so let’s play a game.” The man said.

“A game?”

“Yeah a game. I got bored sitting here. The game is simple, we will ask each other a question alternately, any type of question. If any one of us refuse to answer a single question the other one wins.” The man said.

“What if I win?” Andrew asked.

“If you win, I will do anything you want, just one time but the limit of questions is just ten.” Andrew nodded to the condition, “So, you asked one question, so I will start. What and where is this place?” The man asked.

“World Peace Maintaining Organisation Headquarter, Florida.” Andrew replied.

“Interesting, peace huh.” The man smirked.

Andrew was disturbed but he controlled his emotions and asked, “Should we consider you as a friend or foe?”

The man smiled and replied, “That totally depends upon you people. Whether my motive is good or bad for you.” The man looked at Andrew’s puzzled face and added, “My turn, huh, have you ever met a Zodiac?” the atmosphere turned into tense. The man was no more smiling but steadily looking in Andrew’s eyes. Andrew could feel the pressure from his gaze, sweat dripped from his neck. His eyes were dark black.

“Yes.” Andrew replied as the scenes of s*******r flashed before his eyes.

“Huh, interesting, your turn.” The man said as he leaned back on his chair.

Andrew thought for a while and asked, “What business do you have with Zodiac?”

“Oh nothing, I am just here to finish them, all of them.” The man replied looking at the glass pane. Andrew smiled hearing the answer.

“Are they observing us?” The man asked.

“Yes, they are. You were joking, weren’t you?” Andrew asked.

“Absolutely not.” The man replied casually. Andrew swiped the sweat on his forehead and drank the water kept on the table.

“How was your confrontation with the Zodiac?” the man asked.

“What if I don’t answer this question?” Andrew asked.

“You lose. I didn’t tell you if you lose I am going to destroy this place.” The man shrugged his shoulder.

Andrew exhaled, “We were given orders to kill the second son of Zodiac family, Aries. I was head of the operation.” Andrew’s breathing pace increased, “We took six thousand men with us but we didn’t find Aries. We were about to return when we got the information that the fifth son, Apollo was nearby, we shifted our target, that was our biggest mistake.” Andrew paused, “He slaughtered each one of us, he left me alive to inform the headquarter about this.” Andrew stopped and drank another glass of water.

“I guess we won’t be able to play anymore. Last question, I will answer your last question.” The man said.

“What’s your name?” Andrew asked.

The man smirked and replied, “Deicide, Deicide Zodiac.” Andrew turned pale as if he has stared death into eye.

Deicide entered the meeting room, three men, around forty were sitting under a huge screen with the name WPMO displaying upon it. Behind the one the centre was standing a guard. Deicide sat on the chair that was kept before him.

“We are glad that you agreed to listen to us.” The president of WPMO said.

“Andrew told me that WPMO has a trade to make with me.” Deicide replied.

“Yes, of course. But first we wanted to conform that you are a Zodiac and hear the part of your story.” The President said.

“You are really suitable for the post.” Deicide replied. “I know its hard to believe me but I too want to know what you people have that you are going to trade with me. Six thousand of your people were sacrificed without even laying a scratch on Apollo, what is it that will make me believe that you will prove of any assistance to me.”

“Enough of the s**t,” Colonel Jim raised from his seat and raised his fist. Suddenly a sniper aiming from the screen fired at Deicide. Deicide smiled and caught the bullet with his bare hand. Deicide dropped the bullet and smiled at Jim.

“Even if your three snipers in the screen and two from the rear fire at me once, I promise they won’t get me.” Deicide said. The president touched Jim and he sat back.

Deicide bared his chest and a tattoo of Z along with a dragon was visible. “In terms of strength I am weakest in my family, the thirteenth son of Zeus Zodiac, yet I am more powerful than rest of you. I thought that you people will be of some use to cover the gap but alas, it was your choice.” Deicide said and got up from his seat.

“I am very sorry for the rude behaviour of my friend please have a seat and listen to us. We can be helpful to you in some way.” The President said.
