Thump! Thump! Thump! They sound like wardrums. Asura's grin could not be wider. "Finally you're up!" Asura howled.
"What does he mean?" I asked myself.
"Charles! You're up!" Asura said. As we all look at all the standing Charles.
"No, we are his heart." Charles' body spoke as the thing controlling Charles' body. As it lifted Charles' head. Asura charged at Charles' body.
"Judgement Slash." Asura said. As countless white lines surrounded Charles' body. As the void was opened Charles walks out of the attack.
"Devil Heart." Charles' body said. I freezed in pure terror. Asura was still smiling.
"Hyper Chaos Slash." Asura said sending a crescent blade of Chaos Energy that also seemed to not affect him. Charles appeared in front of Asura and smashed him into the ground. Causing a huge dust cloud to form. Seconds later Asura came flying out. He was bruised and beaten.
"No! He's taking back over!" Asura screamed. As his markings started to shrink. As then he fainted. Gabriel's eyes shut. As Charles fell on his face.
"Great now both of them are knocked out." Shadow said. As he picks up Gabriel onto his back. As he also bridal style carried Charles. It took a while. To get there.

Days passed. Charles and Gabriel are in their comas for almost 13 days. Abel once again stole his shirt. Hearing a groaning sound. "It feels like I fought my father." Charles groaned.
"It feels like I was fighting Sensei." Gabriel also woke up. Both of them were wearing painful looks on their faces. They looked at each other. They both paused. Gabriel had tears running down his face.
"You look like you have seen a ghost." Charles said with a small smile.
"Don't worry me again." Gabriel said, hugging Charles. Tears drenched Charles shoulder. Charles pats the back of his head.
"Were is my shirt?" Charles questioned.
"Abel has it." I said it the second the question came out. Really this is like the third time. What is her obsession with taking his shirt?
"Okay I wonder if I could find some Vampires." Charles said with a small smile.
"Where are you going?" Yaga's voice came into the room.
"Out to go killing." Charles said with a cruel smile on his face.
"Okay then are you going to try on your new suit?" Yaga asked.
"Sure." Charles said. As they walk, Yaga hands Charles some folded up clothes. Charles walked into a private area. A few minutes later. Time passed. Even more minutes passed.
"You need help?" Yaga asked.
"Yeah." Charles said as she walked into the private area. After a few more minutes my temper was rising. He walks out wearing something amazing. It was a form fitting shirt. With a pair of black Jogging pants the outer parts of the paints were layered with midnight black hide. A midnight black trench coat with a layer of fur that sat on the shoulders. The bottom of the trench coat transforms into vibrant blue. Matching with a pair of gloves. I got onto his shoulder and started rubbing the upper part of his throat. I feel his heartbeat.
"You look great?" I said under my breath. As Charles looked at me.
"Did you say something?" Charles asked.
"Nothing." I said a shake of my head.
"Have fun on your hunt. I sowed enchantments into your clothes." Yaga said with a sweet smile on her face. Charles was also smiling. The chilly air hit our faces. It was like a welcome back to the world. The camp that started as a tunnel to hide has changed. There were walls made of wood weaved bones. An ashen circle in the middle. About ten large tents were on the walls. Walling down stairs made of carved stone.
"Boss!" One random person said with a smile.
"Do you like it boss?" Leo said bowing in front of Charles. Leo was smiling.
"Why does it seem like there are more people?" Charles said, gesturing around him.
"We went from a few dozen to about 300 people." Leo said with a massive smile.
"Yeah now we only have to worry about two threats." Charles said, looking at Leo.
"What are the threats?" Leo asked.
"The wolves were competing for the same food. Lobo is probably the leader or close to it. The machines are also a problem but we only know there after me or Gabriel. They keep building counters for me and Gabriel." Charles said, his voice dripping with venom.
"Yes boss, those two are fearsome threats." Leo said with a bloodthirsty smile. "We will burn them to ash... Boss." Leo's voice gleamed with violence.
"Welcome Sir. I bring bad news…" Fulgur said. He takes a bow.
"What?" Gabriel asked as he came out of the cave with Neko sitting on his shoulder.
"We found a huge amount of egg shells." Fulgur said as my blood ran cold. The Chaos Beast second generation. When Chaos Beast are introduced into an environment it takes multiple generations to become fully adapted. It was terrible news.
"That's not good but it could be the House of Evolution adding more eggs." Gabriel said.
"Yeah but it was pitch white." Fulgur said.
"The ones I found this morning were a pale yellow. There were so many." Niuhi said. That was terrible news, even worse than before.
"Great so there will be even more trouble. Add that to the list of problems." Charles said sarcastically.
"Okay." Niuhi said with a smile. As she walks over to a stone slab she starts to engrave the words New Generation. The list had.
House of Evolution
C.L.A.Y.
Lobo
Wolves
Machine
Meg
Now it has the New Generation under all of them. Damn Meg was catching strays. "Who controls the list?" I asked, feeling like I knew the answer.
"Me!" Niuhi said with a smile.
"Of course." Charles said.
"I needed something to keep me sane." Niuhi said. Charles' eyes twitched.
"Sane that one word. But you don't have it." Charles said with a forced smile.
"What does C.L.A.Y. stand for?" Charles asked.
"Clown laughing at you." Abel said, appearing behind us. Charles jumped a little.
"How many members?" Charles continued to question Abel.
"About the 20 main people, none of us know each other's real name. But the leader went by Claymen." Abel said with a shrug.
"A small group of us were quite strong. I was the weakest and newest recruit about six years ago." Abel said with a small frown.
"Six years? You're the weakest? I heard about Clay. It was a brutal creation that the uniform was in some way a clown outfit." Niuhi said.
"What do you know of the leader?" Charles asked a pointed question.
"He uses two short swords, is master of Chaos string ability and has colorless Chaos Energy. But that's about it." Abel said.
"Okay." Charles said. As he walked outside the wall there were random hides hanging on sticks. As well many many more tents.
