This world was abundant with plant life.
That was Koal's first observation upon entry into the new world. Trees, grass and the native wildlife flourished here, unhindered by sentient presence and influence. It was shocking, to say the least, for the young man. He had lived in a concrete jungle all his life, the only green being in secluded and wealthy sections of society. His violet eyes widened and a rare smile emerged from his lips. But as soon as it was there, it vanished, replaced with a cold indifference that could normally be seen on his face. His companion seemed rather bored with the landscape, but Koal figured that was either because it wasn't rare on his home-world, or he just didn't appreciate it as much as the teen did. That made his hate for the other grow even more. Koal didn't know why the figure made him feel so uneasy all the time, but the was the figure always resorted to violent or brutal ways of thinking or acting, but Wild Card gave off an evil aura. Not that Koal was good, not by a long shot. But he knew when something was wrong, and he felt that he did was necessary. He would kill without a valid reason... Not again. Koal's eyes grew distant as a memory came to the surface of his mind.
Memory
"Please, I was just following orders!" The doctor said, clutching a bleeding leg. Koal had been hunting this bastard down for hours now. It was a fun little game of cat and mouse. Koal grinned, his eyes alight with insanity. His white fangs glinted in the flickering light of the small room. The teen drew in a deep breath, his eyes dilating as he caught scent of the blood. It was everywhere. A large trail of it leading into the room, bloody hand prints from where the doctor had tried and failed to pull himself off the ground. A large pool of it surrounding the poor human's feet.
Koal let out a dark chuckle, the shadows that clung to his arms once more solidifying into claws. He stalked toward the man, his violet eyes his by raven locks. He knelt by the doctor, bringing a claw up to caress the mans face with surprising tenderness. He opened his mouth and spoke, a raspy noise.
"I am truly sorry, Doctor Faust. I know that they would have killed you had you refused." Koal spoke, his eyes locking onto the pale blue ones before him, "And that is why I have to kill you. I need to send a message. That they have played with something far too powerful to control." His claws positioned at the mans throat, Koal opened his mouth once more. "But I did not kill Glynda. Your wife will live. I know its not much, but I could not leave your daughter an orphan..." Faust's eyes misted over, and shone with gratitude. A look of confusion crossed his face moments later.
"Why?"
"Because despite the horrors I've been forced to endure, becoming the monster that you have molded me into, I still have a heart." A lone tear fell down Koal's face. "Goodbye, Richard."
Memory end
As Koal shook his head, dispelling the unwanted memory, he felt a wetness on his cheeks. As his hand came up to brush the tears away, he felt Wild Card looking at him. Koal whipped his head over the the other, violet eyes boring into the mans mask. "What the hell are you looking at?!" The other man quickly looked away. His face settling into an emotionless mask, Koal began to walk once more.
He could only hope that his weakness had not shown.
