Winters Estate… Darius, his twin brother Sylus, and his sister Leah were running with their mother guiding them; their father, standing back, fought off the men trying to kill them. “Emma, take them to the safe room and make sure that no one sees you!!” Darius heard his father’s voice as he used his gun and blade to ward off the men pouring into the house. Emma Winters, Darius’s mother, carried her children as they ran through the halls, pushing past everything. “It’s going to be okay!” She reassured as she held her children, leading them to safety. “It’s okay, I need you to…” BAM! A loud shot was heard. Emma fell to her knees, looking down at her belly; she could see the bullet hole there. Turning back to see one of the men, he had a twin serpent tattoo across his head with a prosthetic eye. “Got ya …” The man said as he raised the gun to shoot again when Sylus threw himself in the way to protect his mother. “Mom!” The young boy cried, as shots could be heard riddling the boy’s back with bullets. “Ahhh, shit…” the man cackled as he reloaded. “Well, that saves me more time, but it doesn’t mean anything…” Slash! The man was struck down from the back; he fell on one knee as he turned to see Viktor Winters, Darius’ father. He had bullet holes and stab wounds on his body, but the man moved to make sure that his family would be okay. “Emma…Sylus…” Viktor staggered, walking over to his dying wife and dead son. “Viktor…” Emma looked at her husband one more time, before another shot was fired straight through his skull, killing him instantly. The one-eyed man was still alive; he stood up with a smile on his face. “Now that was cheating, even for someone of your standards…” The man turned to look at Emma, as she held her husband's corpse. “Don’t worry, I will help you with that too…” The man fired another shot, killing Emma. He looked around, seeing that there wasn’t anyone else there, knowing that Darius and the little girl with him had gotten away. “Oi, find those runts and make sure they aren’t breathing!” The man ordered, looking around, about to walk away, when he heard a gun reload. Turning, he saw Darius holding the gun, his eyes filled with tears, his legs and body shaking. “You killed my mom, you killed my dad, you killed my brother!” His hands were on the trigger, staring at the man with pure hate in his eyes. Something had awoken within him; all he felt was dark thoughts and an energy towards the men who stood in their house. “Now kid, let’s not do anything…” Bam! Bam! Bam! Darius fired three shots, missing two but hitting the man on the knee with the third one. The man’s allies burst through the door, but all they saw was a boy holding a gun up before they could even react. Darius shot them; his hands were glued to the trigger, gritting his teeth as he kept shooting. The man with tattoos saw the bloodlust in the boy’s eyes. “Somebody kill the damn kid!” Suddenly, they heard sirens coming from the outside. Two other men walked in using some dark energy; they pushed Darius back. “The police are here, the bombs have been mounted…this place will be sky high soon.” They grabbed the injured man; he stared at Darius with a sinister look. Darius kept looking at the man, pushing himself up. He grabbed the gun again, and with the anger boiling up in his soul, he fired another shot. Luckily, this shot hit the man’s prosthetic eye, taking it out. “Fuck! This kid has to…” “Sable, we are leaving!” They disappeared, as if they had never been there. Darius held the gun, shaking like a rat pulled out of water. “Mom…Dad…Sylus…!” Heavy boots could be heard stomping forward. “This is the police, drop your weapons and stand down!” The order rang out as the officers poured in; the sight before them was that of absolute horror. A child standing over dead bodies, gun in hand, mumbling something about a man with snake tattoos. “They killed them…” “They killed them…” Darius repeated his speech, looking around. A young Arnold Zigga walked in, still an officer and low in rank; the moment he saw the sight right in front of him, he took off his cap. “Good Lord, what in the world happened here?” His eyes went to Darius, the boy shaking as he held the gun in his hand. “Demons have possessed that child!” They apprehended Darius there and then, trying to take him out of the house while the boy fought back. “Leah!” “Leah!” “My sister…she’s inside the safe room; please help my sister!” Darius cried, looking back at the house, trying to get them to release him, but it was to no avail. Once they were steps out of the house, a loud ring could be heard, followed by sparks. Ka—Boom! The entire Winters Mansion was destroyed; parts of the estate started exploding as well. Darius stood there and watched his life go up in smoke. Leah never made it out. From there on, his rage couldn't be bottled. Headlines labeled it. ~Child has a psychotic break and murders family and workers in cold blood… They called him the demon child… Thirteen-year-old Darius was charged with multiple homicides, possession of a firearm, and being a danger to society. He was sent to juvenile detention, but there his rage made him a predator, breaking the arms of people who wanted to pin him down. He even killed most of the inmates that tried to touch him. They then sent him to Zeta Doom, home of monsters… That was where he met an older man; no one spoke to him, no one went close to him. They avoided him like a plague. Somehow, Darius was drawn to the man. After fighting across the prison, he would go and sit down next to him. “You’re either a borderline sociopath, or…” The older man turned to Darius. “Or you’re a disturbed child.” The man spoke to Darius and saw that the boy was there for things that he hadn’t even done. Darius would share his food with the man and call him Gramps. Slowly, both of them developed a relationship like that of a grandfather and a grandchild. The man taught Darius how to fight, how to channel his energy, and, most of all, how to ascend. Martial arts that were not even in the system. Breathing Techniques that steadied the heart and mind. Secret techniques that could stop a man’s heart with minimal movements. The Technique of The Nine Pillars! The older man also taught him healing techniques and medicines that transcended conventional practices. And there within the bowels of Zeta Doom, a man was reborn. An Angel was birthed in hell… The Golden Dragon Emperor was born!

"There isn't any reason for us to be pulled into this, we need to make sure that there isn't going to be a reason for them to get the Akayaza on our tail!" Liam was trying to hide something from what was about to happen to them, if they weren't going to be fast they would end up in the same place many before them had been sent to. "Liam there is no need for you to act all paranoid, it isn't going to change anything and you would only make us feel uncomfortable..." Aaron was trying to make sure that they would get their heads into another problem knowing that there wasn't anything else that would get them in trouble with the Akayaza. "Even if you were to put it that way, we have to make sure that there isn't going to be a mistake made in any angle." They stood there, looking at Leah who kept quiet about what was going on with everything that was happening around them knowing that there wasn't a chance for them to get their thoughts in order.

The meeting with the Vermillion group had gone the way Katalina had imagined; she was back in control of her company, and there wasn’t anything that would give her the impression that Urter or anyone else would want to take it from her. Amara was partly to thank for this; if she hadn’t spoken with Darius earlier, then it was bound to end up the other way around. Katalina turned to see her talking with him; she had heard things about the Nine Heavens from her mother up until she saw the Grandmaster. She never believed that they had that sort of power in their arsenal; they were that strong to make sure that no one would take advantage of the people under their wings. ‘Thank goodness I agreed with mother. She knew that it was bound to be her end if I had tried to do things any other way.’ Looking right back at Darius and Amara, she could feel the warmth that came with knowing that there wasn’t anything going to happen or even harm her daughter. Darius and Amara were talking about

“I know we aren't meant to be asking about certain things, but are we going to ignore the fact that they might have done something we would have never done if we were in their stead?!” Liam was looking at Aaron and Leah; they were trying to get it cleared up how it was possible for them to lose someone like Gero because of Mist and Willow. Two people who were meant to be the top warriors in the Akayaza armies. “It surprises me that there is someone who can match them in combat and even take down Gero, someone of that sort of power. I am trying to understand who it was they were facing and what the man was doing there.” Aaron was even more intrigued by the strength of the person who managed to take them down like that, knowing that it wasnt any measly feat. “Well, whoever it was doesn't seem to be working alone, because two of our strongest guards were taken down at the production site there.” Leah spoke up; she didn’t seem to be in the mood for anything at that moment. She had

Sable had been ordered by the Akayaza to put an end to all the investigations that had to do with the attack on his sons; he agreed to do so and make sure that he wasnt going to get himself involved with anything that had to do with that. But of course he didnt give his actual word that he would stop trying to find out who it was that did all that, and the Akayza were fools to even think he would stop. “What are you trying to pull here?” Mark asked him, knowing that they were getting closer to the nameless warrior that attacked the auction house and was trying to get in the way of their ozario distributions. “What I am trying to pull here is to show you the exact proof that we need to attack them where it hurts.” Sable handed Mark a piece of paper. “For the past few months, Arnold Zigga has been hiding his family and quietly preparing to do this.” “He is retiring as the warden?” Mark raised his brow; he knew what it meant for someone like that to just retire from being a warden,

“$10 billion?” Urter looked at Darius, trying to tell if it were a joke or just something he was doing to make sure no one would even think of standing against him. Darius didn't utter any other word, holding his card up knowing that there wasn't anything else Urter could do to them, it was now done and taken into account that they were defeated. The men in the meeting knew that Darius meant business. There was something about the man that made them understand that there wasn't anything else that would come from bidding higher or trying to remove him from the scene. “I think that there isn't a need for any further argument.” One of the men spoke, he knew it was pointless. Darius didn't look like someone who was ready to leave knowing that he was going to get his will done. Urter turned to the man, his mind scrambling through a whole lot of things knowing that he was defeated by someone who didn't even act like a normal player. “Agreed, it would be foolish to pass an offer lik

Darius was silent for a while; he stared around the room, knowing that each and every one of them had some kind of doubt in their eyes, knowing there had to be a catch to it. There was no way anyone would want to help a company like this without planning on doing something later; it seemed rather odd that he would be there in the first place, but then they decided to play along. “Mr. Darius,” One of the men spoke, looking him in the eye. “I don't know how you plan on getting us to believe that you want to help Miss Katalina out, but we would need you to let us know what your intentions are for this company.” Darius didn't utter a word; he stole glances at Urter, knowing that the man was still looking for a way to make a move on what they were doing there and make sure that nothing would take the company from him. “I made a promise to a friend; please understand that partnering with them doesn't mean I would want anything to do with the company or the power pulls.” He explained,
