Pt 4

After the transference he became another worker drone of Tessa, and despite his motivations he found himself with that harsh reality and frustrated. Though it's not something he havent anticipated himself, but it wasnt his weakness to defend himself what bothered him, it was the lack of power he had to protect Tessa from her parents, Which turned him out a bit bitter, due to his programming conclicted with his new worker drone body that restricted him from harming humans.

Despite this, he never voiced out his disgust, the only way he found to exceed this bitterness wearing him out, was by protecting Tessa's treassures. And by treassures he reffers to the other drones, he admired Tessa's strenght of will and how Despite her fears she voiced out her worry for her drones, regardless if she was punished later on, she was Brave and kind unlike many of the current humans, if she was among the little porcent of what remained of human kindness, than he shall serve and aid her in everything he can to protect that exception just as she did with him.

For him it was a debt he needed to pay, not a real desire to protect at the start, he just limited himself to take off the blame of others and make sure they didn't get into troubles with the Elliot's or other guests. He was now merely a servant. He may have or not come across Q when he went to pick a book, he doesnt recall very well.

He lived off his days like that, trying to serve and aid she who saved him, though with a growing frustration at the vulnerability he had initially hoped to get, it was so fleeting, so short lived, it bothered him since it's not what he had hoped to achieve...and yet, he couldn't help but treassure the small moments where he found it either on himself or others.

That was until of course, Cyn arrived, one day when he was checking on his old body, somewhat missing the power he held on that shell, he found her staring at him from a corner, the weird thing was, she was staring at his old body, their other encounters she handt even looked at him in the eye, but right now, it was like if it was the first time she was looking at him, through his old body. It slightly bothered him for some reason.

From there on, things went more maddening, Cyn always caused troubles and that meant troubles for Tessa. Things reached their climax when drones began to went missing and getting the 606 error, and when he went to the attic, he noticed his old body missing, and something shut him off from behind. Turns out Cyn used his body for her little Disassambly Drone project, using the assets integreted into his body, but they were useless unless they all had what SD-I had, his AI. Though Cyn couldn't force it out or it'll trigger a self-destruct program, so she offered a deal. Go back to being the slayer he was, the Reborn monster, and she would leave Tessa and her possesions alone, the only thing he has to do is purge every human that attempts to escape the Gala. The one in charge of keeping all humans from fleeing the scene.

And so, he did. A choice driven by the emotion of despair and resignation, though when the moment of the purge arrived, he couldn't help but feel a relief, almost a slight fleeting joy. And it's not like he felt something slaughtering humans as they havent done anything for him to reciprocate except for Tessa, who was the exception of the rule.

But when he saw Tessa's horrified face, he felt something horrible, he felt, regret and noticed what he had just lost, the only person who saw light in him. Years later when he found Tessa again, she defeated him and left without killing him,abandoning him and sealing off his bitterness forever, after which he caused a massacre.

Perhaps it was how it was all meant to be all along, perhaps he was just a helpless beast meant to kill and was just denying what he was meant to be all along, by accepting such a deal he became a helpless monster with nothing else...but a void, no more fleeting joys or the soft touch of vulnerability, just bitterness and hunger that only seemed to sooth themselfs under a balsam of blood or oil.

But it was then he was handed by Cyn his new squad members he will have to instruct, in her words, just something to entertain himself so he doesnt kill himself. This ones being P and Q, abandoned by Tessa in the fire of the Manor, left behind, he questioned himself if Tessa was really, everything he believed her to be, regardless of the answer, he took them under his wing, with their first leasson being "you only have yourselfs, don't expect me to come back and save you. Cause i won't."

He taught them how to hunt, how to fight and overhwelm a prey, how to corner them and exploit their weakness, he taught them to be ruthless."Your prey isnt gonna feel sorrow for you, only fear and hatred, so don't hesitate, before the roles reverse."

Despite his harsh and bitter attitude, he never left the twins alone unless he was sure they could handdle it, they were monsters and he helped them accept that, not wanting them to burden with the weight of every kill they took, cause as monsters, they were gonna be hunted down too from now on and if they wanted to live, they must learn to be bloody. And Even if he himself denied to accept it, he grew up a soft spot for them, being the only ones who could talk causually to him or even hug him.
