Not the finest criminal moment of Banto's life. He'd made numerous mistakes already, and he'd only just gotten into Baransu after escaping from Minato's custody. Being outlawed from Minato wasn't a biggie. It was basically Banto's home-town now, they kept wanted posters up for a few days before simply forgetting about the name and taking the posters down, replacing it with someone else. So Banto could make as many mistakes as he wanted around there, and still return later to steal again. But Baransu was a very different town. Depending on what part you went to. Go to the poor districts, and people basically hand you what little cash they have. If your found out, officers will perhaps give you a spanking before letting you go. But go to the richer districts near the centre, and it was like a whole different kettle of fish. Banto took one look at a rich man, and the old fart had called for authorities to arrest the ugly and scary looking thug. And when someone was arrested in the rich district, just after Baransu had experienced a very troubling time, the police didn't play nice. Banto tried to leave, and felt a bullet pass his face. Really? He freaking looked at a guy and now he was about to get shot? Humans really needed to get their damn act together, this was getting ridiculous. Banto glared to the officers, almost getting out his sword before thinking against it, using his magic to portal him to behind the guards to run. "Dammit if I have to pay Bail for taking a bullet out of me for some bullshit like this I'm going cut my arm off and pay him with that!" Banto commented to himself, as he rushed away from the district and towards the outskirts of Baransu. It seemed the guards weren't all smart, using guns and just shoot down bad people around the rich district. Once someone with some actual wit came along to steal, they got all confused. And Banto's teleporting seemed to muddle them up enough so that after a few more portals, Banto was off and in a safe part of the city. Taking a breather, and listening to the fading shouts behind him, Banto continued on down this street. Some dumb idiot would be advertising their steal-able stuff somewhere, and for once no one was going to try and get someone publicly killed for looking at them with a scary face. "Fuck this stupid city, they have no courtessy for a full-time thief around here." Banto muttered to himself, spotting a nearby open door to a residence, the owner just fixing something on the door handle, and leaving a little space to take the goods in his bag just next to him.

Vadium took pride in being an underground 'criminal' and barely showing his face around, nor having many know where he is hiding out... Well, only having one know where. But that didn't mean he liked staying underground the entire time, like today, as he travelled to Baransu for fresh 'supplies' for his lab... Meaning any person who he could 'invite' to his for 'tea', naturally only a person who had healthy Organs. But that was easier said then done, when you cant hold a conversation with someone for long without them running in fear, hence why he got Loop to do it all for him, in exchange for help he would give regardless. And speaking of Loop, his dear friend, he was standing less then ten feet away. "LOOP! HEY BUDDY!" Rushing over to his friend, Vadium swung an arm around him. "Long time no see... Nothing more broken I see. Shame really, I needed a new kidney for my experiments. Guess I will have to stick with someone else's..." Vadium wondered briefly if he could convince Loop to break into a hospital for a new organ to use... But who was he kidding, it wouldn't be fresh enough.

It would be pretty simple to lean over and take what was on display right next to the door. The man working was too busy fixing the door, and was making enough noise just hammering nails in place. He wouldn't notice anything, and Banto was so certain that he didn't even need his portals to do so. Banto shuffled closer to the door, beginning to lean down to grab the bag, before he stopped frozen. Wincing, Banto tried backing away, hoping to get far enough away that he wouldn't look suspicious to the worker when he turned to see who was making noise. But then the issue decided to wrap its arm around Banto. "Bail! Dammit I-" Banto stopped, pulling himself and the grippy Vadium back and away from the confused and very angry looking man wielding a hammer. Dragging his friend along with him, Banto began moving away quick, joining the usual street movement to get away before trouble found them. "I was just about to get something good you dumbass." Banto muttered, trying to pull himself out of Vadium's deathly grip. "And you saw me no less than a day ago, remember? After I helped you get the last freaking sample you wanted." Banto thought he could come here in search of some goods himself, but if Vadium was around, Banto supposed he'd probably have to play the helper again, help the crazy doctor get what he wanted. And then escape from jail for doing so.

Vadium laughed as he was dragged away, glad for this turn of events. Before gripping tighter and laughing once more. "But THAT was yesterday, today is today. And that last sample is safely in my lab waiting to be used with what I'm gathering today... Well, what I have gathered... Do you know how difficult it is to get a magic cat's heart? Sheesh, if only that cat brigade back home wasn't so looked out for..." Skipping ahead and dragging Loop after him, before he stopping in a more spaced out area. "I'll let you out of your next payment, if I can take a small sample of your intestines..." Vadium did want something else though, something that wouldn't be so easy to acquire... "But I can offer a complete free payment, both in medical and jail time once each, if your able to get me a single drop of Angels blood... If its the kings however, I'll let you off a year worth of fee's..." Vadium thought it was a fair offer, and he knew somehow Loop would accomplish it. And a single drop was all he needed, as he could just clone more. That, and he hoped something in it would help with the experiments.

Banto felt like he'd break more teeth just clenching them like he was as Vadium continued mouthing some more crazy. "And money is money, it's not gonna be found if I'm not given the time to freaking steal it. And people I can help you find, don't talk to me about cats." Vermin from the deepest depths of Hell, as Banto saw them. The magic ones especially, being more knowing than the usual cat, and much easier to cause problems. Following reluctantly behind Vadium, Banto made sure to check behind them and around, just in case some unwanted ears caught on. Banto eyed Vadium, knowing he'd be tempted to do anything if it meant getting out of some of his debts. But, "Small, huh? I doubt it, but you know I don't really care what you take, so long as I can still live just fine." Banto said. It was a truth about how he viewed things. Banto didn't care if Vadium took stuff, though it was a bit annoying finding himself with random stitches after Vadium took something without asking. His one rule was that anything taken was something Banto could survive without, and wouldn't cause any hindrances in his life. Although, after hearing a deal that wasn't the usual kind from Vadium, Banto's eyes widened above their usual sleepy state. "Angel Blood? Heh, now that sounds like a deal I can run with." Doing any kind of deal that was against Angels or Demons suited Banto's interests. And this one sounded very tasty. Already Banto was thinking on how he could do so. He'd need some leads. A guy like him couldn't just go and find the Angel King, and so it was a matter of finding where he was most likely to roost in Sohul, or find some bait to lure him out with. "Anyway I can get back at those gutless pigeons, I'll do it. And a whole year off too... Forget any old Angel's Blood, I'll get you the Kings, maybe more than just a drop."

Now Vadium had to have an example of Loop's intestines regardless, hopefully he doesn't take too much, but with what Loop also said, it meant that Vadium could take other things too... He wondered if he could get a sample of ones brain at all. Smirking slightly, Vadium knew that asking for Angel's blood was a good idea, and that Loop would happily get it, and more if need be. Hell, if the experiments went well, perhaps it would be a case of asking for their organs next, now that would be a good plan. "I thought it might be." But the prospect of getting the Angel Kings blood, now that was something Vadium really wanted, its power would be indescribable. And if that went well, then the Demon Kings would be next... Perhaps the organs, it may be possible to combine the two together and sell of Demon organs as Human ones... Now that was really something Vadium had to look into... "I don't care how much, but keep him alive... He might become and important sample one day, and if that happens, I will need an assistant to cut the body open." Vadium couldn't wait to get his hands on that Blood, the possibilities with even a single drop. But there was yet another matter to attend to, one that really did require Loop's assistance. "Now, year off of payment may come in handy for the news I have... People are turning up in homes dead throughout the night... All those precious organs that I could use, and sell... I need you to find these bodies, and get me what insides you can, or the entire being if possible... One will normally find crowds outside of homes early mornings when this, what they believe to be a serial killer, has struck once again." Bodies had been turning up randomly for weeks, it was at one point on the low key, but more and more had been arriving recently, and all Vadium could think of was those precious healthy organs being buried.

Whilst their minds worked so differently, somehow Banto and Vadium had the same sort of idea. Sure, Banto viewed Demons and Angels as relics that needed to be removed, but that didn't mean they couldn't be used beforehand. Their power, it could be copied by a Human with training, but the natural light and dark energy the flying races had, Banto could only dream of a day that Humans could go and harness that energy themselves, by whatever means they had to do so. Maybe Banto just wanted a fight with the toughest Angel he could, and if succeeding in his mission it would go to show that Humans really did have a chance at the top spot. But also he was just as interested as the crazy doctor in what kind of properties this 'holy' blood might contain. Banto chuckled to himself, smiling as he thought of all sorts of brilliant scenarios for all of this. "I won't kill the guy, not that I couldn't... I know what kind of trigger it would be for a war we're just not ready for. But, that doesn't mean I don't want to have some fun."
Banto's attention was pulled away from his Angel hunt as Vadium began explaining the news. Banto knew a little of these deaths, only from gossip going around by grave keepers and the like. The criminal was known for grave robbing for Vadium, and so snatching fresh bodies was no problem for him. Banto shrugged. "Sure thing, and what about the killer? You not interested in what they're made of?" Banto was no hero, but he was willing to take credit if it just so happened that the head he was after was a murderer.

Vadium knew if Loop killed the Angel king, it wouldn't be a war they would have to fear at first, but by gosh did he want to see what would happen if they did kill him, for now, he would settle for a drop of blood, there was a delightfully foul stench in the air that Vadium knew would eventually show itself, and then he might just get his wish. "Have all the fun you want, as long as I get my blood sample, and he doesn't die... Warning though, mess him up too bad, and it wont just be the Angel race who is after you..." Smirking slightly, Vadium briefly wondered how far they could push the king, but that would be amusement for another day. Now, thinking on these deaths, Vadium had heard about these people dying in the night, during their sleep, no explanation as to why, just covered in deadly wounds all of a sudden... Whoever this killer was, has left no trace what so ever, and finding him, or her, would be near impossible, and even harder to capture still, even Vadium knew that. "Of course I am, but they have yet to leave even a trace of evidence to who they are, or where they are next to attack... Finding them would be impossible at this moment in time. But no fear, soon when they expose themselves, their organs will be mine..."

Banto cracked his hands together, "I'll be gentle with him." Banto growled, almost feeling like starting some sort of fight now. The blood pumping over the thought of fighting a high up Angel like the King was making Banto's sword hand twitch. The two Kings, they weren't even Human and yet, of course, Humans seemed to find some sort of worship over them. What they were doing, getting excited over simply seeing them. So it was impossible not to know at least something about the duo Kings, Kakushin and Rurushu. Hurt one, and the other would bring you Hell. And Banto was confident, but he knew he'd face injuries from fighting King Kaku, so causing a fight against the Demon King as well, that wouldn't be good, and it would mean more debt placed on Banto when Vadium put the reckless man back together again. Banto chuckled, "I've got no fear, Doc, you've removed that along with whatever the fuck else you've taken. If this serial killer is killing randomly, then the moment they come to us, is the moment we can strike." Banto decided, dark eyes so full of a killing desire. He was just as bad as Vadium, perhaps designed that way by his manipulative friend, and Banto loved it. Banto looked around the quiet streets, the officials from the richer district weren't even yelling for Banto's capture anymore, probably given up to go drown themselves in pointless wages and wine. Huffing, Banto checked his empty pocket. "Thanks to you, Bail, I ain't got anything today. Anything you need today that requires help? Besides my guts."

Vadium knew Loop was lying, oh course the fighter wouldn't be gentle, but he also knew he wouldn't kill him, not yet anyways. The Angel kings time would come one day, once the Human race is ready for the fight. "Sure you will." Chuckling slightly, Vadium couldn't wait for that day, knowing the fight would be between both races... The two coming as a package with the new kings. The thought alone on getting this serial killers organs was enough to make Vadium wish he was a victim, just so that he could catch him, but at the same time, he wanted to see if they had a reason for killing, and if they could find them and set up a deal about the bodies... Now that would be fun. "If they do come to us, don't kill them... I want to see if we can strike a deal..." Looking to Loop, Vadium gave a sinister smile, he loved breaking people into becoming his unknowing slave, even if Loop was more a friend then anything else, and the one person he would protect himself. Looking around the streets as well, Vadium always found it wondrous how it could clear out so much in a short space of time. But looking to Loop once more, Vadium gave it a thought over. "Unless you can get me a magic cats heart, then not at the moment... But if you want to risk it, I'm always looking out for more types of blood samples... I don't have to skill to randomly collect it off people..."

Banto wondered when would come the moment when the majority of Humans finally woke up and realised how much better life would be if the sky relics were removed for good. How many more mistakes could the Demons and Angels make before Humans finally looked for revenge? And not just small groups of Humans, Banto was waiting for the moment the collective nobles of the Human race gave out the word of war, and Banto could be recognised not as a criminal, but a dangerous asset that would have- so long as a few days ahead went well- been the first Human to defeat the King of Angels alone. Respect, and about damn time. That was what Banto was looking forward to, of course the chance to kill Angels and Demons as a job was what Banto wanted the most out of a war. Banto chuckled, "You're always muzzling me Bail, 'don't kill', 'don't kill'... when we get our war, 'don't kill' won't be an option anymore." He replied, clicking his fingers. Bail had a point, a deal might work, and it would be good to have more than one crazy killer working for Vadium, Banto felt like he was getting a little lonely being Vadium's only slave/worker. Banto shook his head not a moment after Vadium spoke. "No way, cats are bad enough, magic cats don't have any business around me. And if you want more blood, Bail, then it might be a bright idea to teach on the best way to collect it. I can stab someone, but collecting all the red juice is a different thing."

Vadium knew don't kill wont be an option when their war came... He was relying on that fact, but for now, Vadium wanted people alive, for use, and for the future war to come... What they did now would greatly effect any efforts later on, and Vadium didn't want their chances of surviving to dwindle because Loop decided to kill someone who could be of importance. But Vadium never voiced his opinion, its not like Loop would listen to such reason, and any others he met also didn't care, so Vadium was probably the only sane one with the strategy for things. Laughing outright as Loop refused to go after a magic cat, knowing how he hated the furry felines, Vadium gave a small smirk. "Fine, don't go after the cat." But the blood collecting he could certainly help with. "As for the blood, a single drop from a wound, be it on the body, or your own sword... Dried up blood also works, as long as its not more then a day old, I can easily copy still. But if able to get a drop pure in a glass tube, it will be even better, only need to let the droplets trickle in." Vadium had tried, but he had to run and hide on each occasion, for being both non stealthy, and too fascinated with what he was doing.

Banto's was a confusing mind to understand. He wanted a war, and he wanted to win it. How exactly, Banto saw as one clear thing. Kill all Angels and Demons, he didn't think of any strategy, how to combat them other than chopping off their heads or making them bleed. Banto's only reason for anything anymore was to kill, and it was almost tragic. He was mentally in that loop, only knowing how to kill and not trust anyone beyond Vadium. It would make things hard in the war, and Banto understood that his morals didn't stretch as far as not to harm any Human that pissed him off enough just like it didn't keep him from wanting to kill every flying relic he saw.
Banto smirked as he listened. "Then I'll need some glass tubes when I get you your King's blood." Banto replied, holding up his sword. "Could probably get a full tube, with one clean cut with this sword..." Banto judged. He'd be careful, perhaps stab the Angel King in a place that wouldn't hit anything major, Vadium had long taught Banto where those places were. Even if all else failed, and Banto was betting on things not failing, even one drop would do Vadium alright, with his useful copy magic.
Banto chuckled, "I said I'd be gentle, and I know what might happen, but you know how long I've been waiting for a chance like this. I'll make the most of it, Bail."

Vadium knew very well how long Loops been waiting for this chance, so he didn't mind what he did, as long as it didn't kill or start a war... Or get his friend killed, he liked his free slave and specimen around. But, at the same time, a tube of the pure sample was enough to tempt to Vadium into giving the go ahead, even if he knew the consequences, but his mind worked like that. "Plenty of glass tubes, not just for the Kings blood." Vadium really couldn't wait for this blood sample to get into his grasp, oh the possibilities. "Oh and make the most of it all you want, take feathers or something as a trophy for all I care, but just don't forget of the consequences not just for yourself if it goes too far..." There was only a handful of times Vadium could remind him. But clicking his tongue, Vadium sighed. "Well, I must be off back to the lab... Don't forget our little deal, though I'm sure you wont. And the next time we meet. I expect some Kings blood in my possession." Smirking over to Banto, Vadium took his leave, knowing the next time they met, Vadium would have new things to play around with.
[Finished] |
