Hunting Demons

[X-2]

X-2 skidded into the alleyway with the human. In response to the money statement X-2 said

"Those blinded-by-there-religion types pay much money human. Do not worry about my funds human.. As for the weapons if you were going to have killed me you would have had ample chance too!"

"I guess that's true..." Simon just stood against the wall. Then he... just waited. Didn't do anything. "why are you so angry? Why do you want to kill me? Why did you choose to be a nbounty hunter?"

 

[X-2]

X-2 froze when asked why he was angry

"..."

It was a bit of a sore spot for him. No one had ever asked him that. No one ever asked him anything that personal or anything personal at all. Most people didn't even want to talk to him (though the feeling was mutual) most people found his xenophobia and complete and utter hatred towards everything off putting. He was deep in thought for a moment frozen still, eyes widened with obvious stress bags under them. He answered none of the questions and merely stood frozen in silence. One couldn't tell what his emotions were, anger? Grief? Joy? (Ok realistically probably not joy) all he did was stood in silence almost in a trancelike state or a flashback state.

Simon stood silently awaiting a response. Simon of course didn't actually expect an immediate response. Most were surprised by this. It was usually the only time he ever spoke up. Simon didn't move an inch, it was like he stopped breathing. That was a thing he could do, stand completely still. Simon was a peculiar boy. Doing things like that. Always makes you wonder.

 

[X-2]

X-2 eventually snapped back to normal shaking his head. He was shocked to see that despite the extremely easy chance he had to escape the boy was still there. X-2's eyes widened with shock.

"Either you are really excited to get exterminated today human or..." He froze for a moment "... You actually, care about why I'm angry at the world..."

He lowered his gun and his head. He actually felt bad which he never felt before. Someone, a human of all things got him to feel something other than rage and anger: the only things he's ever felt. He then put away his blaster and began to skid away out of the alley. He then began to lapse back into his human hate and said aloud as he started to walk off

"To think I was tricked and manipulated by a human- a lesser species then I, into believing someone actually cared about my problems..."

Simon shook his head when he said his last statement and walked away. Wrath and pride. The creature had those two deadly sins. Prideful for thinking everyone is below him and he is the king. Wrath for feeling anger all the time... killing others. Maybe he had the lust for power as well. Hopefully not. But Simon did care... everyone needs forgiveness. They need help. Everyone can be helped and it's never good to be evil. Simon called out, "I do care... if you need help I... can help..." Simon walked up to the small being. Standing next to him. "everyone deserves forgiveness. I may be pushing my luck but... I can fix you..." Simon stared into the streets. The hustle and bustle of the city. Nobody would care who someone was and all humans and most other sentient species made assumptions about people. This one was an unknown creature, small, angry face, blasters and a bounty hunter. Most would assume he's evil and has no feelings. But Simon tried his hardest not to make assumptions. One time he had a dream he was stuck on an island with a bunch of other kids and they made an assumption about a beast on the island. Simon figured out that the beast wasn't a physical creature but the feeling that drove them to insanity and made them savage. When he ran to tell them... they assumed he was the beast. Simon was running and they were doing a tribal ceremony. They saw him and chanted "kill the pig, slit her throat, spill her blood!" they stabbed him repeatedly, mangled his body and threw him in the ocean. Getting rid of their chances of survival. Simon woke up though. Only a dream though. It's haunted him though. Ever since. "don't worry, I'll help..."

X-2 didn't actually feel sad he felt angry and walked off to take out his anger on something else. Preferably something that wouldn't try to make him feel those disgusting, nasty emotions such as empathy that the boy made him feel. But then to X-2's utter shock when X-2 stopped at the end of the alleyway the human stood next to to him. He told the creature that he'd help him. X-2 sighed and rolled his eyes

"I suppose that you'll be following me? And even if I say no you're still going to do this? *sigh* very well human I'll play your little game but first introductions I guess. I am commander X-2 leader of ... Well that's classified for now. I am.. Well let's just say I am not a natural occurrence in this disgusting filth of a world."

X-2 put on an annoyed outlook though for some reason he sort of liked the idea though he'd never say that out loud.

"My contacters didn't give me your name so what is It suppose?"

"Simon... Simon Dela..." Simon stayed next to him. The creature said that even if he said no then Simon'd still follow. Of course yes but that's not the point. A tiny spike of happiness went up in his soul after he said that. Simon decided not to mention it though. It would delay the process... "also... try not to attack too many things.." Simon had a quieter voice now because they were closer to humanity. Simon was there to help him... and make sure he doesn't hurt people.

 

[X-2]

X-2 pulled out a blaster and shot a rat right before he said not to attack things. X-2 quickly glanced at the boy, then the dead rat, then at the boy, then the rat again, then finally at the boy.

"Oh... Well that is truly tragic, BUT, what's done is done!! Let's get moving hu...er Simon... I have things to do places to see!!..."

"okay..." Simon got ready to walk, and duck his head.

 

[X-2]

The two began to walk and walked past the still suffering and dying bounty hunter, but before moving forward X-2 kicked him twice, once in the face, and once in one of his knees which is where he was shot.

"Oh how his suffering gives me joy"

X-2 clapped as he skidded forward

"What fun the suffering of others is!"

He continued to say in enjoyment

Simon followed close behind. Speeding up his step as the little one sped up. Again they walk through their last path. The crowd started to leave as they didn't want to watch him suffering as X-2 happily skidded forward. 'that's truly one of a kind' Simon thought to himself.

Simon moved his head back and forth. Simon wondered where he came from. Their feet padded against the ground. The sun was starting to set, a lot had happened that day. The light dimmed from how bright it was before.

"how about we go and find somewhere to rest, it's starting to get late" Simon suggested.

"Oh I know just the place disgusting hu..... Apologies I meant Simon..... Follow me!" X-2 said as he merrily skidded along making quick sharp turns through alleyways and winding paths until they finally arrived at an old decrepit building in disrepair. "I suppose you're ready to see this rather large secret S-Simon..... Follow me inside!" The short creature went inside the abandoned half destroyed building and his happiness was immediately replaced with anger once more. Inside was tons and tons of lab equipment and hanging wires as well as strange tiny eyes peering at the two in fear. Down to the farthest end of the building stood a throne made up of old rubbish and lab equipment. X-2 clapped his hands and shouted in anger "X-3!?!? WHERE ARE YOU!?!? X-3!?!? DON'T MAKE ME COME LOOKING FOR YOU!!!" As he spoke small threads of string lights that would normally be used for holiday decorations flickered on revealing many small junk huts scattered around the large building, out of the little darkness that was left skidded out one of the frightened eyes. It was male and he was shivering, he looked like X-2 except with a few minor distinctions. He walked up to X-2 still shivering and then spoke up

"H-h-h-hello c-c-co-commander X-2!! H-h-how w-went your j-job tonig-" he was cut off by X-2 back handing him "DO NOT SPEAK UNLESS DIRECTED TO DO SO!!!!" X-2 angrily replied

X-3 fell to the floor and closed his eyes still shivering in fear "T-t-thank you s-sir ma-may I h-have another?...." He asked hoping the answer would be no

X-2 kicked X-3 and stopped shouting though still agitated "How goes the construction of the Illudium Q-36 Space Modulatory Destroyer of Planets?"
