Ninjitsu14
Captain of 3rd Division in the Army of god
Miranda stood on the steps of the temple. She was shaking. She struggled to breathe. She had--She had created that?!
She stared at the massive crater in front of the temple. It was about sixty feet in diameter.
"I-It's alright....", she heard Morpheel's shaky voice say. "you've just used up alot of chi. It's no suprise....That's an advanced technique written in the Sutra.....I had to supply more chi to supplement for you, because I could feel the chi being drained out of your body by the Sutra.....", Morpheel said. Being an old man, he wearily collapsed on the ground. Miranda fell back, and landed on the temple ground.
They laid there for several minutes in silence. Then, Miranda heard shaky breaths from her Master.....She strained to look over at him, to find that he was crying.
"I was too late....I was too late to save them....", Morpheel said.
"Sensei....", Miranda said wearily.
Morpheel stood up weakly. "No more tears. We've done our crying....I suppose your wondeirng what that bounty hunter wants with me.....", Morpheel said.
"Sensei....", Miranda said, questioning his motives.
"I need to tell you about my life before being a priest.....It wasn't a great life. Back then, I was named Kamazaki Morpheel. I was a teacher at a local school.....I loved my students, and my wife of ten years.....It was a great life.....Until one day....", Morpheel said.
"I had stayed late at the school, and I had been playing with my students. I came home after getting some groceries, only to discover my wife had been taken away, and my house had been wrecked......"
"The townspeople told me my wife had been taken away by demons, in exchange for letting the townspeople live. Demons were quite common in those days....."
Miranda gasped. "That's awful.", she said.
"Not as awful as what I did.....I went to the demon's village.....And slaughtered them mercelessly.....Women, children, it didn't matter.....If they were demons....They died.", Morpheel said. As he talked, a sadistic grin developed on his face, and a glimmer in his eye.
Miranda was frozen in fear. She had nothing else left to say.
"Eventually, I worked my way to the village mayor's house. I killed the demon's there, and worked my way down into the basement.....Into a sadistic dungeon area. I found my wife. She was still alive!", Morpheel said.
"Really?", Miranda asked. Morpheel nodded.
"But not for long. As I clutched the bars of the prison gates, she grasped my knife in her hands, and took her own life, saying, 'I'm carrying that beast's child. I no longer want to live if I have to bring that hideous thing into this world.'", Morpheel said.
Miranda stared in shock.
"What a touching story. Unfortunately, you have just admitted to the crimes you committed against the demon village. Now, come quietly.", Gabe said. Morpheel felt the cold metal of the pistol against his head.
"Miranda. Run.", Morpheel said.
"No!! I won't, Hadoken Blast!!", Miranda shouted. However, she was out of chi, and unable to fight.
"Kamazaki Morpheel, Miranda, will you come quietly?", Gabe asked.
"Yes. But, if you harm Miranda, I'll bite through my own tounge, and drown in my own blood.", Morpheel said.
"I won't come quietly!!", Miranda said. She dashed off into the forest. Gabe aimed his gun at her, but Morpheel wheeled around, and punched Gabe. Gabe doubled over, and Morpheel got up slowly, and dashed off after his apprentice.
