Destiny Seekers

Chapter 9: The Destiny Seekers

[The Providence] [3rd person POV]

[One day before the Great Battle of the Root of Origins]

Lord Exyd, Supreme Being of Destiny, dressed in white gentlemanly formal clothing and his blue-greenish skin accompanied by his unrequited grin, applauds the remaining survivors of the purge. “REMAINING DESTINY SEEKERS! I CONGRATULATE YOU FOR SURVIVING AGAINST MY TWO DESTINY SEEKERS, WOLFE F’LUX AND CZARINA INJECTRO! YES! IT WAS ALL ME!!! ALL OF YOU ARE SHOCKED, BUT I ASSURE YOU, I WAS TRYING TO WEED YOU OUT! ALTHOUGH IT SURPRISED ME THAT THE EMISSARIES RAIDED OUR HEADQUARTERS AS WELL… SAVED ME THE TROUBLE OF CAPTURING THE OTHERS. THIS IS NOT A TEST… THIS IS MY WAY OF DOING MY DESTINY SEEKING…”

“Why did you do this to us, father?” Suoic Ipsus, who is kneeling down along with the other destiny seekers, stands up and raises his head, “Why would you forsake us?”

“THAT’S BECAUSE I CAN…” Lord Exyd simply gives his answer. “I TURNED YOU ALL FROM DESTINY WEAVERS INTO DESTINY SEEKERS… IT SHOULD’VE BEEN BREAKERS, BUT SEEKERS WAS KIND OF BETTER IN MY OPINION, AS YOU SUPREME BEING. THE REASON PERHAPS IS THAT I WANT TO REPLACE SOME OF YOU FOR HUMANS.”

“Why would you replace us with the lesser ones?!” Mania raises his voice, “Do you think they are better than us?!”

“DO YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE STRONGER THAN HIM?” Lord Exyd points towards F’lux. “IF SO, BY ALL MEANS, FIGHT HIM IN FRONT OF ME.”

“So Mania, are you stronger than me?” F’lux steps forward making cracking sounds on his neck as he turns them from side to side.

“Are you serious about this, Lord Exyd?” the stranger destiny seeker steps up revealing himself to be the true form of Xenophobia, Xenophilia. “Mania might damage your merchandise… I’ve seen him destroy one of my Xenophobia dolls. But I think that he isn’t quite as strong as you highly think of just yet…”

“AH PATIENT X, DON’T YOU KNOW ABOUT ORIGIN BEFORE YOU TELLING ME YOUR OPINIONS?” Lord Exyd’s grin intensifies. “I REMEMBER MAKING YOU… YOU ARE AN ABOMINATION… YOUR VERY BODY IS OF DIFFERENT HUMAN PARTS STITCHED TOGETHER… AND YET YOU CRITICIZE YOUR FELLOW HUMAN.”

“Is this the truth,” Mania asks their leader, “is this the truth Xenophilia?”

“Of course it is,” Xenophilia grins… “my arms, my head, my neck, my torso, my legs, and my eyes, all came from different human body parts but my soul is purely that of a god’s… just like old man Warden… and just like the rest of you… you are all body parts stitched together and only I am the highest form of animal part sown together, human.”

Nurose looks at his body. “This is not real…”

“OH IT IS,” Lord Exyd laughs maniacally, “IT IS REAL MY CHILDREN… YOU ARE ALL THE SUCCESS FROM MY EXPERIMENTS OF CREATING MY OWN DEITIES… F’LUX’S NEW FEMALE COMPANIONS… THESE PRECIOUS LITTLE THINGS ARE THE ALSO PART HUMAN THAT’S WHY THEY CAN’T TRANSFORM THEMSELVES INTO THEIR HUMAN FORMS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY PART HUMAN CARCASSES LIKE XENOPHILIA…”

“I cannot believe…” Ara Kuneida drops on her knees… “We are called experiment creations… by our own father…”

“OH? DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, ARA?”

“It’s unforgivable…” she glares at him.

“Yes it is,” F’lux turns to Lord Exyd and slashes him in the throat.

Blood splatters on the floor as Lord Exyd drops to his knees.

Everyone in the room is shocked by the betrayal!

However, none of them defended their creator…

F’lux continues his assault continuously piercing his arms and legs with his claws making sure that the Supreme Being won’t be able to attack but… then again… the Supreme Being can never harm his creations… that’s a part of the great law of the Supreme Beings…

“Czarina, will you encase your creator and seal him shut?”

“Of course, my dear~” Czarina uses her powers to seal his creator’s powers. “Who knew that I’ll get to use my Lifebringer powers to the mix~”

“What are you planning, F’lux?” Xenophilia approaches Lord Exyd’s sealed body. “And I thought we were enemies…”

“We are enemies but we have the same goal,” F’lux raises his eyebrow as he glares at the strongest Destiny Seeker. “So who among the roster of the Destiny Seekers remain alive right now?”

There are four factions left.

 The faction of Suoic Ipsus, Ara Kuneida, Berdor Niel, and Zonoute

 The faction of Xenophilia, Obse, Mania, and Nurose

 The faction of Tange, Regres, Grandio, Perseve, Compulse, and Kosmofob

 And the faction of Weirdo, Injectro, Yammer, Qualm, and Unaware

Captured factions.

 The faction of Violence, Labeli, Honicristi, and Daveju

 And the faction of Egot, Judi, and Fixa

“And I thought only Violence was captured,” Xenophilia feels disappointment over the news. “I haven’t seen them in action yet… that’s disappointing…”

“There is the problem with those Emissaries of Balance too…” Suoic Ipsus glares at Weirdo. “You Weirdo… F’lux… you even helped them out!”

“I did not help them get inside here in Providence,” F’lux smirked. “Although… I enjoyed their company. Xenophilia probably closed out their way back here now, I guess…”

“I had,” Xenophilia grins back, “but I have something better.” He looks over at the silent group behind them, “Why don’t you join us, Faction Leader Tange? You have, after all, the largest team in our circle…”

“And what should I talk about?” Tange steps forward. “After none of us reacted when Lord Exyd got what he deserved, said it all…”

Tange, the odd-looking leader. He had seven locks of thick brown tube-like hair, with one pointy hair, that’s just how odd he looked like. His eyes are pure black with only his white pupils showing. His face is pale, he doesn’t have ears, his neck and scalp are black…

“So you are saying is that… you agree what he’s done…” Suoic points at Weirdo. “The fact that my father that beating is enough to guarantee that one of us remaining faction leaders will have to eventually replace him…”

“Shall we do it with a vote?” Tange wisely suggests since he has more members than the rest.

“How about we do it with legitimacy?” Suoic Ipsus glares at Tange. “I am his eldest son and next in line.”

“I suggest that we decide it by power,” Xenophilia exerts tremendous pressure around the area.

Very much all of the rest decides to put up their guards, each of them glaring at the other factions, while the Weirdo, F’lux, steps back from the bloody area and sits on the Supreme Being’s throne with the four women of her faction by both of his sides.

“How about all of you… against all of me… by which I say… against me?” F’lux grins as he relaxes on the throne. “You may be the most powerful Destiny Seeker, but against the Lifebringer me… you might watch your mouth… because that makes me… and if Injectro would like to fight as well… makes us the strongest.”

“So you’re sitting in his throne now, huh,” Mania steps forward until he is only a few feet in front of F’lux. “You still have to fight me before you could sit your ass on that throne!”

F’lux raises his monstrous arm aiming it at Mania, “Lightning…”

From the abyssal ceiling above them, a bluish jolt of electrical energy strikes down creating a powerful explosion and surrounding the area with dust, smoke, and black particles. The massive amount of energy creates a shockwave around its radius. Making sure that F’lux and their faction isn’t hit by the shockwave, Czarina surrounds them with her force field.

As the dust and particles settle, F’lux smirks. It looks like Xenophilia has saved Mania from getting hit. Mania turns pale and drops to his knees. The other faction leaders have shielded themselves as well.

Looking at the force field that he had created to shield Mania and his team and seeing cracks from it, Xenophilia menacingly grins back at F’lux.

“I can say that I am impressed, Weirdo,” Xenophilia kicks Mania hard that he is sent flying away from everyone. “However, you disappoint me a lot, Mania. Then again, Mr. Weirdo, I have an army of Xenophobia puppets with me that I can use to maybe… kill you.”

“I have children, a swarm of them, hatched from my women’s army just a few weeks ago,” F’lux sticks out his tongue as Yammer invites herself in to kiss him. “They look like drones… to tell you the truth… and they feed on the energy within Providence…”

“What he’s saying is that he had lots of s*x with these three women here,” Czarina grins, “and I watched them do it a couple of times already it made me horny… so it I did it with him too… right now… in my belly is the future of the Destiny Seekers.”

“This is disgusting in multiple levels,” Ara Kuneida leaves the throne room of Lord Exyd. “Just tell me when you’re done with this leader shit.”

“Do not leave yet Ara,” Xenophilia prevents her from using her force field. “Nobody leaves until I allow you to. Now, I don’t know what you are planning with those children of yours Weirdo, but I think you are not planning on using these drones against us…”

“I plan on using them in the war tomorrow, because whether you like it or not, this war will only end when the Supreme Beings’ pawns… we deities… are dead. Hiding like this won’t save us because old man Warder might still return with his Emissaries. If we raid them now using your Xenophobia puppets, then we can say that it’s payback for what they did infiltrating the Providence like they own the place.”

“We could free the others,” Tange makes an intelligent suggestion.

But…

“f**k no,” F’lux stands up from the throne and shakes his head, “They’ll only get in my way.”

“Because you! Let them get captured! The tentacle trio to be exact!” Ara yells at him. “You are a traitor in our eyes…”

“And you are just another woman that needs to learn her purpose in my Providence,” F’lux raises his monstrous arm. “Breeding…”

“That’s it,” Suoic Ipsus morphs into his monster form. “You are a disrespectful piece of meat!”

“Yeah!” F’lux laughs, “Because you disrespected the same piece of meat that you are yelling at now with your SEEKING! You know, I really am thankful to Lord Exyd for turning me into what I am now, because I get to experience what you did to my race, the same human beings who were taken to this damn world, tortured and eaten… wasting their potential future! Then came two human beings, ME and Mr. X, then you got to experience what you’ve been doing to us! Now are we going to fight and erase each other out or preserve our remaining kind and continue living on.”

Suoic Ipsus clenches his fists until they bleed… and then lowers them down.

“You see,” F’lux continues to speak. “I am going to fight in the war to preserve our race and if we win, we get to continue living like this for the future of our Destiny Seeking race.”

“Then I suggest that we eliminate our easiest and nearest targets,” Xenophilia reaches to shake Weirdo’s hand. “We kill the Emissaries of Balance.”

F’lux stares at his hand… then he reaches for it and grabs it. He then nods at his enemy as they shake hands.

“What of Lord Exal, the Supreme Being of Balance?” Tange stares at Suoic first, and then turns to Xenophilia. “He can still kill us…”

“That’s where we come in,” Xenophilia points out at Weirdo and Injectro. “The three of us will handle the Supreme Being, while you go all out and waste your armies on those god wannabes…”

“So, what are we going to do with the imprisoned if we’re not going to rescue them?” Tange still presses on with the subject. “If we’re not going to rescue them… then what?”

“We take them out as well,” Xenophilia fixes his lab coat and opens up a portal. “Let’s meet here in an hour… and prepare your forces…”

[At the Headquarters of the Emissaries of Balance…]

“I don’t know why he kept it in there or he just didn’t noticed when I put in his coat while he flirted with me,” Ms. Y, now awake, shows the footage to everyone including the imprisoned destiny seekers. “This is our current situation, and it has been thirty minutes since this has happened. What are your thoughts, Alpha Boss?”

Lord Exal, aka Alpha Boss, stands up. He looks more aggressive than ever and it seems like he is ready to accept the challenge up ahead.

“Mobilize the neuters, strengthen your defenses, and prepare yourselves to go into war my children. They will not be able to enter our fortress. If they would like to enter, they will go through the entrance…”

“What of our prisoners?” Mr. S nods at their Supreme Being. “Should we allow them to choose?”

Violence looks at Ms. M, “Let me go, I will help… they have betrayed us…”

“I’m sorry, I can’t…” Ms. M lowers her head. “I know that it’s hard for you to find out about their plans… but betrayal is no longer part of our dictionary… so we cannot trust you… just yet…”

“The prisoners will stay for now,” Alpha Boss sighs. “We have everything we need to protect this base…”

“Heads or tails?” Mr. X flips a coin and lets it fall on the floor without showing what it was. “I’ll go wait at the entrance…”

“You’re not going alone…” Ms. A pats him in the back. “We’re with you…”

“The time has come…” Mr. G locks and loads his guns. “I can’t prophesize what will happen to us… but I know that we’ll win.”

Ms. Y checks the device if it is still working and gets shocked sees F’lux holding it looking straight at the camera… putting her finger over his lip,

Cold sweat drips from all over her…

[Providence]

In between his fingers, the Weirdo plays with the deactivated device.

[The Weirdo Wolfe F’lux’s POV]

“This is going to be fun~” I wink at Czarina and my three women. “I wonder how things will turn out soon, Lord Exyd~”

“THAT WAS A VERY NICE PLAY~” Lord Exyd grins at me seemingly fine, “THE WAR WILL BEGIN WITH THEM~”

“Oh it will be… as long as I play all of my cards right~” I toss over the communication device at him.

“Of course,” Lord Exyd catches and plays around with it. “You’ll be my ace for the future of Destiny Seekers and I will step down so that you can enjoy your reign~ No objections, right Czarina?”

“Objections?” Czarina sits on my lap, “I’m already his~ why would I object?”

“Ah babe, you are giving me another hard on…”

“LET THE BEGINNING OF THE END… BEGIN…” Lord Exyd disappears from the shadows.
