[h3]Galbrek[/h3] [i][color=fff200]Earlier...[/color][/i] Adam was sitting outside his master's workshop. The only place in the entire building in which he was not allowed to enter, whilst he had an urge of curiousity, it was not something he wanted to sate in order to die for. For what may have felt like an eternity for the tall doll, the doors finally opened and his master stepped out looking slightly weary but also sporting a satisfied grin on his face. Something had surely gone according to plan, why else would his master decorate his face with such a facial expression. [b][color=8882be]"Adam, I have good news for you. You will be deploying soon on a little errand of mine. You will get assistance however..."[/color][/b] Galbrek reassured him and out of the shadows which led into the workshop where he himself had once been made, two figures began to emerge. Had he reformed Bertrand and Darla? No... it wasn't them. The first one coming into plain sight was a girl clad in dark gothic lolita attire, blonde shoulderlong hair and blue eyes. Her face clad with a look of haughtyness and arrogance. In her hands were a curled whip with a sharp metal piece at the end of it. The other was a male clad in all manner of odd colour combinations, purple, green, yellow, pink, blue and red. His pants were wide and fluffy looking, while he had a sleeveless shirt with a vest over it. His face and arms had also been decorated with various symbols and signs. [color=7bcdc8]"Oh hoh hoh... good day big brother~ I expect you will come to learn to follow under my lead for master Galbrek~"[/color] The girl winked to Adam and then turned her head to look in what can best be described as fangirl admiration of their common creator. [color=7bcdc8]"Your lead?"[/color] Adam blinked and looked at his master as if he had been stabbed in the back. He was demoted? He stood there silent for a brief moment before another voice was heard. The jesterlike boy. [color=7bcdc8]"Yohoo! I'm Fegin, nice to meetcha'. Oi, Eve go easy on our bigger bro'. Let's work together aye? I'm itchin' for some bitchin'" [/color] The jesterlike young man flung himself up midair, backflipped and landed on a nearby table which caused a beep sound to make from his boots. He also made a pose. [color=7bcdc8]"Ta-da!"[/color] [b][color=8882be]"Get off my table!"[/color][/b] Galbrek yelled out, whereof the doll in question bowed his head appologetically and jumped down next to Adam. Placing a hand on the slightly taller doll's shoulder. [color=7bcdc8]"Let's get to know each other really good aye? We are going out to hunt and boy am I achin' to do some takin'."[/color] The jesterlike doll offered a smug smile, with his earrings and overall decoration making jingly sounds. [color=7bcdc8]"Master Galbrek~ I, Eve shall lead your forces to victory~"[/color] The arrogant doll promised as Galbrek walked closer to place his hand under her chin. [b][color=8882be]"Do not fail me Eve. The same goes for you Fegin. Take learning from Adam..."[/color][/b] The half-demon let go of the female doll and now slightly weary he made his way over to his chair to sit down and take a swig of wine from his finely decorated goblet. [b][color=8882be]"Bring Celine back to me. Then bring me William or Andras. Adam can point out whom they are. Do this for me and I shall reward you." [/color][/b] [color=7bcdc8]"As you wish mas-"[/color] Adam was about to reply to his beloved master, when he was rudely interupted by the smaller blonde doll. [color=7bcdc8]"We shall return soon, master Galbrek~ Follow my lead dear brothers~"[/color] The blonde doll gave both of them a look before marching quickly towards the door, fondling her whip in her hand. The jesterlike doll grabbed a hoolahoop ring which had been neatly placed outside the workshop. [color=7bcdc8]"Don't mind if I do! Later masterino!"[/color] Fegin waved casually over his shoulder, and thus could not see Adam grabbing him by the neck. [color=7bcdc8]"Don't speak to the great master in that manner! Watch your mouth.."[/color] Adam narrowed his eyes at the slightly shorter doll, who replied by sighing and grabbing Adam's wrist and forcefully removing his grip around his neck. Adam widened his eyes in a sign of surprise, this doll were stronger than him. Much stronger. He was so surprised by the fact he threw a last glance to his master sitting down. [i][color=7bcdc8]Master Galbrek... I who love you more than anyone else have been reduced to serve under these?[/color][/i] [i][color=fff200]Some time later...[/color][/i] [color=7bcdc8]"Open up the door. This is an order... do you hear me?"[/color] The blonde doll spoke to the small slid in the door in which a blonde young man replied back. [color=f7976a]"I don't recognize you as a member. Leave."[/color] The red eyed blonde behind the door replied in a slightly intimidating tone. [color=7bcdc8]"Hold up. I am Adam, a servant to the esteemed Lord Ravenovich. I have buisness inside on behalf of my lord."[/color] Adam said in a authority like voice. The younger dolls both stood silent and waited, the red eyed young man on the other side nodded, having recognized Adam being with Galbrek on their last visit to Vittorio. [color=f7976a]"Fine. You may pass. If the other two causes trouble it is on you." [/color] The door opened and the red eyed young man allowed them entry, before looking outside to make sure none saw them before closing and locking the door behind them. It took them awhile to navigate around the Mephisto school, following Adam's lead now as he was more familiar with the area they came upon the gym area where there was some commotion and that's where Adam saw a gathering of people. Among them were Vittorio whom he recognized from earlier, aswell as recalling his tentacle like wings flinging him into a wall. Adam did not want to get on the bad side of someone who could so easily restrain both himself, his master and that other person whom Adam had not seen before. Then he noticed her. Celine. She was standing there, looking for someone by the looks of it. Adam did not waste any time but approached. [color=7bcdc8]"Celine."[/color] Celine blinked and turned, if she would have had neck hairs they would be standing now. [color=7bcdc8]"Adam? What are you doing here?"[/color] [color=7bcdc8]"We've come to get you back to our master."[/color] Adam swiftly replied [color=7bcdc8]"We? Who are these two? Where is Darla?"[/color] She asked in a demanding but collected way, petting the pet rat she carried with her. [color=7bcdc8]"Ohohoh... I am Eve, this is Fegin. We are, just like yourself creations of master Galbrek~"[/color] The blonde doll proudly explained. [color=7bcdc8]"Yo! Fegin 'ere at your service, don't mind the ring. I jest happen to like it!"[/color] He leaned on the hoolahoop metal ring he carried. [color=7bcdc8]"A clown? I have a hard time imagine you being a creation of Gal- master Galbrek."[/color] Celine said in a flat tone. [color=7bcdc8]"How crude! How rude! Such attitude! I'm a jester, not a clown. Thumbs down! Beep!"[/color] The flamboyant jester heavily gesticulated as if he took great offense. [color=7bcdc8]"Darla is not here. We should get moving, would not want master Galbrek to wait."[/color] Adam said out loud in a half-pondering way. [color=7bcdc8]"...and if I refuse?"[/color] Celine defiantly replied. [color=7bcdc8]"Then we will have to drag you there by force dear~"[/color] The blonde girl patted the whip by her belt, even looking amused at the idea. Celine hesitated. If she refused they would drag her out, and there was not really any ally of hers here to stop her. As she now saw it both Galbrek and Celestine were not good people. Both were horrible. The first a coldhearted narcisstic megalomaniac and the other a chaotic sadistic psychopath. At least that's what she thought about them. Then there was Vittorio who she knew was powerful, but he had no reason to aid her here much like anyone else present. She had to go with them to her master. She had to face him again. Celine sighed and nodded. [color=7bcdc8]"Very well..." [/color] Adam nodded in reply, happy that he wouldn't have to resort to any other means. [color=7bcdc8]"Good." [/color] They began to walk. [color=7bcdc8]"Fegin. You'll take her back to base. Myself and Eve will go and track down the targets." [/color] "Just who do you think is in charge big brother? Don't forget your place~ But you are right, you return to our precious benefactor with the good news." Eve looked Adam over and took one of her hands through her artificial hair. [b][color=6ecff6][h3]Vittorio[/h3][/color][/b] Having witnessed the teacher fling herself out inbetween Celestine and Vernon had drawn his eyes away from Bak as she had finished her words to him. Witnessing the teacher in action, but also hearing her words to Celestine caused him to feel troubled. [b][color=6ecff6]"A training club... opportunities... strongest teacher... monster slayer." [/color][/b]Vittorio repeated out loud with his ghostly echoing voice, before turning his head back to Bak. [b][color=6ecff6]"I accept the punishment. However..."[/color][/b] Vittorio began to float away from Bak and out towards Suzume, the teacher which had reprimanded Celestine. [color=6ecff6]"He is right you know. If you don't push your limit how can you possibly get stronger? You are holding him back teacher." [/color] He came to a stop and hovered just a centimeter above the ground. [b][color=6ecff6]"Same applies for this one."[/color][/b] He pointed to the side towards Vernon. [b][color=6ecff6]"How can he become stronger if his enemy holds back?" [/color][/b] The ghostly young man waited a moment before adding. [b][color=6ecff6]"Put all your spirit into it or you might aswell surrender and die. People are the strongest on the verge of death. Take it from someone at death's door." [/color][/b] Vittorio began to snap with his tentacle like wings around him violently as if he was electrified himself, like bolts of lightning crackling and creating a barrier around him.
