Hello Stranga': Malefactor Quest

[Retane]

Retane looked deep into the man's eyes and knew there was a story to tell and smoething he wanted to hear.

"You want know know about Project: Malefactor.... Myself, and my brother, George, were a part of the tests. We both wore the orgosynths. We fought the demons. We killed demons. We did our job well. Each battle we activated and synced with our symbiotes. George seemed to give in more to it and often called it sick and disturbing when it came to his thoughts. I learned soon after, with my own clearance that these powers had com from the flesh of dead demons.

"So it would only make sense that we would have dark thoughts. Unlike my brother, I was higher up and didn't have to activate it much.... But..." The old man took a long sigh and tears trickled down his eyes.

Retane didn't speak. He just stood there in silence, knowing the elder wasn't finished.

"My brother... Him and his family spent the night here with my family. And he lost it.... He killed my wife... My daughter... His own Wife... His own two sons...That Orgosynth... had possessed him and the demon inside had opt to kill us all."

"You didn't die though?" Retane offered a bit confused.

"No. I activated my own and we fought in those very streets outside. Till he ripped mine off and sqaished it. Then he ran to the stairs and down... And I have met him twice... but our last combat has left me in the wheel chair."

The Emerald Warrior glanced again at the chair and nodded,"I do not remember anything. I am a Namekian. I was a God of Death. I had a son named, 'Maleficus Nova'. I am a mercenary. I seek power and my past. I'm charged with recreating an alliance called 'The Horsemen'... Me being ripped from my place has destroyed those I am supopose to care about..."

Haskell looked Retane in the eye for a moment and nodded towards Arith, " And him?"

"He's here because a friend marked me to assist me in becoming stronger... and me becoming stronger gets him and other to their home as well." Retane didn't hesitate to answer after looking the man inhis old eyes. The Namek even felt that the man would know if he lied...

"So you want the coordinates and position of my brother and the dump site of Project Malefactor?" The old man started messing around a drawer.

"If you want me to track your brother down, I can try. But, yes I would like the cordinates of the dump site. I have been told that in my past I have done somethings that were good, some that were bad. Some that saved lives and others that killed many." Retane's voice had lowered without him realizing it.

"Yeah? Oh how many Space Marines have had the same thing to say? You however, are not a Space Marine. You are a Prime.... And you seek out the Malefactor... Tell me then... Do you wan't it because of your son? Do you want it for power? Do you want it to create your Horsemen? Which is it?" Haskell had a dark booming voice, stronger then he had before, when he demanded these answers.

"Maleficus Nova.... Respawne-" Retane cut himself short as he watched Arith move forward and cast away, his hood and helm.

"Enroshia has asked me to help and assist the Gremlin. He is the guy that is going to get stronger so that we can all go home. He doesn't remember his son. It pains him that he doesn't remember. It pains him that he can't rmember his first kill, even if it was an accident. It pains him mostly though, that because he is here, and because of so that means his son never was. He was pulled here from limbo, but sent to limbo by a curse. It is beleived that if he gets stronger, he can get us home and get himself home." The Dragon Warrior pulled his two sabers out to show that he wasn't joking.

Retane could only stand there in shock and almost in annoyance at the Lythian.

"Maleficus Nova, named the 'Imperfect Namek', because of the premature accident... Became The Demon of Namek in a War... Only to watch his closest friend almost die.... He offered his body to share her soul with, until they could fix the curse. Without Retane, since connected, they both never existed."

Arith snapped his neck and gripped his blades a little tighter, "Retane killed his sparring partner. Sure, he has always been affiliated with darkness, but he saved an entire race, helped save a universe, and snapped in a dark tournament when he thought a friend was dead... and ascended to a higher power rare to his kin in hopes of protecting a friend. The tears he has shed over Tapion...."

Arith turned his gaze to the Emerald Warrior and tears streamed down his face., "I am sorry. I dont know how you ever did it, or your son did it either. "

Retane frowned and even let out a low snarl. He was confused but took every word in.

"Dark Hunter, Emerald Fiend.... Jade Fiend , Demon of Namek, Imperfect Namek.." Arith took a breath,"I hate having all this shit in my head. But you wanted it all in a fast course; Just so you could chase this.... So there it all is. Right there."

Arith looked back at the old man, " I follow him and he desires power in hopes of reclaming power and his life stolen from him. You can help him or I can help you."

The old man stared at the Lythian for a few seconds then chuckled as he looked towards Retane, "Well he seems serious, so how about this? I give you the last location and general area and a picture and you dont come back without closure? Sound good?"
