Biohuman

The memories he had buried in the back had come back up, again. He felt his body detach from his body. He watched his body fall as Ritsuka panicked and grabbed him. He didn\'t hear the screams of Ritsuka and Jiro. He continued to float as if he had reached some sort of odd enlightenment. 

The carnage from two years reappeared in his head. Lee Seng already knew this. It was nothing new. He wanted to forget it, but it continued to play. The odd deer creatures, the fighting in himself, the demonic fox… It was something he had tried to suppress.

[Don\'t suppress it. Take it in.]

The memories flashed. Lee Seng was deep underground. Trapped. The Deimons had captured him. 

[Take in the surroundings. Take in all of it. Don\'t let one piece of information slip away.] 

Lee Seng tried his best to take everything in. A strange device. Multiple Deimons. A woman who the rest seemed to put above the others. He remembered even teleporting and reappearing above ground somehow. The building was in an older part of the city. It was quiet during the day, so that could only mean one of two things.

\'Either this is the old district where nobody really roams or it was too early in the morning.\' Lee Seng thought. He could feel the Demon Fox\'s presence, again. Oh, how he never wished to feel that in its entirety ever again. 

The memories shifted. This time, it was definitely something he didn\'t remember. He was walking with someone… A tired man? They were talking when a man in a suit walked up. He watched the memory play out like a movie. They all entered the room and a strange woman who exuded a strong sense of \'holier-than-thou\' aura sat at the end. 

\'When did this happen?\' Lee Seng asked himself. \'I don\'t remember a me— Wait. Is this Eleven\'s memories?\' He rewinded the memory back. Eleven had known where to go, so all he had to do was dig for it. 

Lee Seng strained himself trying to figure it out. It was an old building in the Old district. If he just went back a bit further, he could figure it out!

[What have you gathered so far?]

"It\'s the old district for sure… I\'m trying to go further back, but I can\'t go any further… It\'s… harder to focus." Lee Seng replied to himself. He could see the other him nod like he was thinking of what to do. "I almost got it. If I could just go back to when Eleven was getting instructions then—"

"Lee Seng!" Ritsuka shouted. Lee Seng gasped back awake, shooting up from the ground. Ritsuka was to Lee Seng\'s left and Jiro was hovering to his right. "Hey! Are you okay?" 

[Hm, I guess you really couldn\'t last that long. I\'ll see if I can find Eleven\'s memories and dig through it, but… I would work off what you saw.]

"Here, have some more water." Jiro uncapped a water bottle and brought it to Lee Seng\'s mouth. Lee Seng took large gulps, almost coughing it up as he tried to quench his abnormal dry throat. He wiped his mouth and sucked in a breath of city air which made him cough even more. Ritsuka patted Lee Seng\'s back, as the Fox Spirit pounded his chest.

"God… I hoped to get more information from that, but I guess there\'s limits to everything." Lee Seng sighed.

"Info about what? You just passed outta nowhere." Ritsuka asked.

"The building I escaped from while I was under the effects of the Demon Fox." Lee Seng replied. Ritsuka\'s eyes were enough to tell Jiro it was something serious. He wanted to ask, but decided not to. 

"Can you walk?" Jiro asked, sticking his hand out. Lee Seng took it and was hoisted up onto his feet. Ritsuka stood up and nervously glanced at Lee Seng before coming to stand in front of Lee Seng.

"Did you find anything?" Ritsuka asked. 

"Just that Eleven used my body while everything was happening." Lee Seng replied.

"Eleven? Who\'s that?" Jiro asked.

"The Deimon that was in him." Ritsuka answered. Jiro gave them a weird look, readying another question when his little brother shook his head. "It\'s a long story, niisan. W should focus on the task at hand." Lee Seng nodded and took a look around.

The large building stood proud as the men came closer. There were more signs of people around now. Guards, presumably Deimons, moved about as Lee Seng, Ritsuka, and Jiro moved out of sight.

"There\'s more people now." Jiro whispered. Lee Seng sighed and shook his head.

"Why can\'t we ever get the easy way?" Ritsuka whispered. 

"You two scout around and see if there\'s a better way inside. I\'ll look around this way. Try not to get caught." Jiro instructed.

"Sure thing, boss." Ritsuka saluted. He turned to Lee Seng and nodded. "Let\'s go."

"Don\'t get caught."

"We don\'t plan on it!" Ritsuka waved and pushed Lee Seng deeper into the city. 

Each step felt like a suffocating breath for Lee Seng. He could feel the guards close and far from them, but something was stopping him from accurately figuring out where people were. His eyes kept in front of him, occasionally scanning as Ritsuka hung slightly behind him. Lee Seng\'s throat felt like it was going to close. The DM levels were fluctuating from person to person. Some were just small fry while others felt like they\'d give the two of them a hard time.

\'What\'s with this energy?\' Lee Seng questioned. \'It feels like something\'s trying to spook me.\' Ritsuka\'s arm grabbed Lee Seng and pulled him into an alleyway. He pushed Lee Seng against the wall and held his finger up.

\'Three guys to our left!\' Ritsuka told Lee Seng. Lee Seng glanced over and listened. Ritsuka was right. There were three guys Lee Seng hadn\'t focused on. He shook his head as Ritsuka pointed in the opposite direction. 

Lee Seng\'s chest squeezed in pain, stopping him. He bent over and grunted, catching the attention of Ritsuka. Ritsuka glanced behind Lee Seng as he quietly moved to check if his friend was okay. Ritsuka made an \'okay\' sign and raised his eyebrows. Noises filled Lee Seng\'s head as the pain in his chest pushed deeper.

\'H-hey, are you really okay?\' Ritsuka asked. Ritsuka put his hand on Lee Seng\'s shoulder, triggering something strange. A portal ripped and sucked the both of them inwards. Lee Seng screeched in pain as  the two were tossed out of the portal and onto the cold floor.

"Well, well, well~" Connie spoke from everywhere. "If it isn\'t, Eleven! Long time no see, buddy! I hope you\'re doing well! Wait, I don\'t think you\'re the Eleven I\'m talking to. Hmm, what was your name again? Lee Seng Chang? The Creator\'s son? Oh, that\'s right! And you managed to bring a friend! Hahahah!" A large metallic wall fell, forcing Lee Senga nd Ritsuka to separate. 

"There! All better!" Connie chuckled. "Y\'see, I didn\'t think you\'d actually come to me first. It\'s interesting because the Master wants you, so I\'ll have to do my job now. Ugh, we\'ll have to put the games back a bit… Slot in some time for you… Ooof, I don\'t think that\'s going to work… In the meantime, why don\'t we have your friend fight…" The sound of dice clanged in the air as Lee Seng felt  the pain stab deeper into his chest.

"Ooo, three. Boo, it\'s just some low ranking Deimons. I guess that\'ll keep you busy while I get Mr. Perfect Singular here!" Connie laughed as six beams of light flew down into Ritsuka\'s side of the room. "Have fun, Biohuman~ And now… GEORGGEEEEEEE, bring me Eleven!"

A large door began to open on the right side of Lee Seng. Lee Seng sucked in a ragged breath as he grabbed his chest. \'Someone\'s doing this to me.\' Lee Seng thought. He pulled his hand away from his chest and plunged his fingers into his chest. Lee Seng screamed in pain as the mental pain immediately disappeared, leaving Lee Seng with his own self-inflicted pain.

The large door was half-way open when loud, pounding steps flew straight towards the door. A large creature busted through the half-open door, breaking the metal and wall. The creature roared.

"An ogre?!? How the hell is that ogre\'s name George?!?" Ritsuka shouted. Four Deimons flew straight for Ritsuka, forcing him to summon his weapons and jump backwards. "Lee!"

"Do-don\'t worry about me!" Lee Seng shouted. "Just survive!" George attacked Lee Seng with his fists, colliding with the wall as Lee Seng disappeared. He reappeared on George\'s hand. George roared as he pulled his fist away from the wall, opening his hand to grab Lee Seng. Lee Seng disappeared, summoning his aura and Sun blade as golden light carved itself along George\'s arm.

George roared in pain as his arm exploded in blood. "Solarium: Dance of the Two Suns." Lee Seng shot straight towards George, splitting into two and slashing in opposing directions. Golden light showered the entire room, blinding everyone in it as George\'s dying screams echoed.
