26 The Hand of Fate (A.K.A Me)

(Thanks to iEphonixx for finding the new cover art and recommending it)

5039 April 5th, somewhere in space,

Space started to warp and twist for a few minutes as a huge amount of golden light resembling Dr. Strange's magic started to collect. After a few minutes of collecting, a huge amount of the energy was collected into the shape of an orb about the size of a larger planet. The energy started to beat, like a heart, as it looked around (although it had no eyes). It looked around for a few seconds before looking in a single direction as it focused on planet earth, that was thousands of light years away. It seemed to nod as it changed direction and looked at another planet.

And then, seemingly out of no where, music started to play. That's right, in the middle of space music was playing. Not because it was physically possible, or because it sounded good (although it did), or even because it made sense. No, the golden energy just believed that the song it was playing was fitting for what it was about to do.

You gotta know and see that we

Are too clever to be human

We all are absolute predators

We do not even have any enemies

But maybe an animal watching us now

Takes a vow: "Someday we will bring them down!"

(I put the first verse and a ton of lyrics, this shouldn't be hard. You probably know where this is going)

The energy then took the form of a giant, planet sized hand. It then started to move at incredible speeds, and as it accelerated space started to warp even more as huge ripples of gravity shot through space. In less then a few seconds it was just a few million miles away from the planet.

It pointed at what seemed to be up when compared to the planets poles. A few moments later, hundreds of thousands of tiny green orbs flew from the planets surface to the hand and started to circle it, making the hand look even more god like. The hand then turned and took off in another direction, toward Earth.

Once it finally reached an area just outside Earths atmosphere, it shrunk itself so that it didn't capture the attention of the living creatures of the planet. Although it did shrink, the green orbs were still very small in comparison to it. Then, the hand pointed at the planet, which caused all of the green orbs to start vibrating, before they shot toward the planet. They created small fireballs in the atmosphere, however didn't burn up themselves as they were protected by a small amount of the golden light from the hand.

When they finally reached the surface, the white glow stopped, and a small worm like creature was revealed. It had a green jelly like skin that could be seen through, a drill looking thing where its mouth should be, and multiple green tentacles across its head area.

The small creatures started to crawl around frantically to find the nearest animal they could. Some of them found wolves and large cats, some found bears and owls, however a few found humans. Now, most of the humans on the planet are stone, so you wouldn't think it was possible to bond to an unfrozen human, and you're right. Although they couldn't take their bodies, the second they tried they were turned to stone as well, for plot reasons. It maybe a lazy excuse, however the story must progress and the author cant think of a valid reason.

Luckily, only a few humans were infested with the bug. The characters will not be named at the moment, but do know they are part of the canon. No it is not Taiju, Senku or Tsukasa, or anyone else from the main crew.

But one was different. This bug happened to be in a terrible place and at a terrible time, as it tried to infest something it shouldn't have. It crawled up the arm of a huge being, one with extremely defined muscles. The man was now over eight feet tall and had red hair. His face was very muscular and resembled Yujiro Hanmas.

This was of course, Liam, who was currently hunched over a small table with his own journals and books on it, next to the pillar man. The bug tried to burrow into Liam's arm, but Liam had known of its presence the moment it entered the room, he just didn't care. The bug crawled under his skin, but before it could make it any further, Liam grabbed his arm and ripped it off.

For a human, this would have been a problem, but for an overpowered vampire, Liam could still easily control his arm (Like in the scene where DIO can still move both parts of his body, despite being cut in half.) He then threw the arm on the ground and stared at it menacingly.

"Come out worm! Don't make me kill you without an explanation as to what you are." He demanded, using his own intent to make it come out, because obviously parasytes (This is how the show spells it, so this is how I spell it, just know that I am aware that this is not its correct spelling) don't know English, at least until they take over a human and study it.

The only reason Liam even let the parasyte near him is because he wanted to know what it was. He had been studying life a lot lately to figure out both his own and the pillar mans biology, however even though he had come across a lot of different worms and creatures that are similar, he hadn't seen ones that looked like this.

The parasyte of course didn't respond to him, so he did the most reasonable thing, yell at it some more. "Get the hell out of that arm and show me your body!" The parasyte once again remained silent, so he kicked his arm. He kicked it with enough force, that it was sent flying into a wall and ended up creating huge cracks in it.

"Fine, don't want to cooperate, that's just fine! There are other ways to find out what you are." Liam said and turned to the temple opening and yelled, "B23! Come here."

B23, who was just outside guarding, entered the temple, only to find his now one armed lord staring arrogantly at his own dismembered arm. "L-Lord! What happened? Is there an enemy?" The corpse said as it got into a fighting stance and looked around.

"No, of course not! Who do you think will be dumb enough to attack us, especially after that beating I gave that brat? I just found that there is some strange creature trying to enter my body against my will, and I had to remove a limb to resist it." Liam explained as he pointed with his good arm at the other one.

"Although I probably could have done it better, I figured that this would be the easiest way to get it done. Now! Come over here, I need you to swallow this worm." He demanded as B23 got closer.

Liam picked up his arm again and stared at it intently for a second, before the parasyte eventually remerged when it saw its chance to try to infest Liam again. It hadn't learned anything yet, so its not very smart when compared to Migi. After seeing it, Liam quickly grabbed it and held it between his fingers.

"Lord, will this thing kill me?" B23 asked, but with no fear in his voice, only curiosity.

"I don't know, its new to me as well." Liam the narrowed his eyes, "Why? Are you scared of death? I can just bring you back afterward, there is nothing to fear. Or is it simply you wish to defy my orders?"

"O-of coarse not lord! I simply was curious is all. I had forgotten that you could resurrect others lord, so I was going to ask if I could say farewell to my friends first." B23 gave Liam a satisfactory answer. (we don't know if the zombies capable of speaking are able to make human connection, however, they are able to do a lot of other human things, so I don't see why not.)

"That is a good reason, however there is no need as if you die, I will simply kill the worm and bring you back. Now, eat this." Liam said as he held out the worm in his hand.

B23 took the parasyte, put it in his mouth, and swallowed. The worm went down his throat and his stomach immediately started to make weird noises. Seconds later he started to convulse on the ground, before eventually he stopped moving and became silent.

B23 then opened his eyes again, however just before he could speak to Liam, his stomach erupted and a ton of teeth came out. B23 tried to stop it but couldn't and only ended up hurting himself.

"What's going on! What the hell did that worm do to you?" Liam asked as he kicked B23s stomach, making the teeth stop moving immediately as they froze.

"I don't know! I felt it trying to move toward my brain from my stomach, so I forced all the blood between my head and stomach to stop and closed all ways there. After that it stopped moving and now I cant control my torso area." He replied in a panic.

(He was a zombie and had a ton of undead power, being able to stop his blood flow and have a good control over his body doesn't sound like something to far fetched compared to the other things they do. I don't think this is canon, but it makes sense and I don't see a reason why they wouldn't have it.)

"Its okay, calm down. Now tell me, has it done anything else to you?" Liam asked calmly, trying to calm down his servant.

"Not that I can tell, it just seems to have a weird control over my torso." B23 replied again, calming down a little.

"That's good. Now lets see what this thing really is, once we are done, I will remove it from your body." Liam said as he reattached his arm and unfroze the parasyte.

(He can take peoples bodies apart and reattach them to other things, this is a canon ability. So all he has to do once they are done is either remove B23s torso or reattach his head to some other body.)

----------------

Yes, for volume two, the main enemy will be a parasyte from parasyte. Although Raijin didn't wish for this, neither did he for the stone mask or the magic meteor. The stone mask and meteor as well as stands were added because of the hamon wish in order to balance it out. Although he does gain power from both hamon and stands, he has to fight zombies, vampires and pillarmen because of it, as well as other stand users and hamon users in the future.

To balance out the stone world wish, the cost was that he had to remain awake for the entire time he was stone. The balance for him having his limit removed and acquiring his unlimited potential and evolutionary zenkai, is the parasytes. So don't worry I will not be adding anything else after this. The parasytes, although they will be strong, are going to serve the sole purpose of putting the normal zombies and weaker Dr. Stone enemies on a level at least capable of not one shot dying by Raijin.

People like Kohaku are going to have hamon and stands in the future, so they could easily beat the crap out of people like Hyoga. So to balance that, the parasytes are going to be used to enhance their characters to a higher level. My original characters and the canon main characters will not get them though so don't worry.
