Reborn

"Fascinating, that was all too fascinating" Greed says his voice trembling with excitement "never before has there been a human who could fight all of us for so long. Too bad he died in the end that was the best test subject I could've asked for."

"Are you positive he's dead?" Wrath asks with uncertainty.

"Of course he's dead, why do sound so nervous for, there's no human alive that can withstand a blow with more than half of Lord Michael's power" Envy states with zero hesitation.

"Are you worried that he might still be alive? Even if he was there's no way a mere human could ever kill us. Besides he was half dead before Lord Michael finished him off anyway."

"I understand that." Wrath said watching as the destroyed city 8 falls to the ground.

" But I also understand anger, and what I felt from that kid was pure and true rage, the likes of which I've never felt before. If there's even a sliver of a chance that he could survive he will."

"If he does we'll just kill him again right?" yawned sloth.

"Then for his sake he'd better be dead." Michael said with a cold smile.

I wake up to a blinding light in my eyes. I try to block it but I can't move my arms.

"Damn it Kevin turn off the light" I grumble. But as soon as his name leaves my lips I remember everything.

Kevin.

Mom.

Dad.

James.

They're all gone and I'm left alone in this world. But how? Why am I still alive? I was supposed to have died. I look around the room I'm in it looks like Someone brought me to a hospital. I try to get up from the operating table I'm on but I fall knocking over equipment and end up sprawled on the floor. My tears began to fall as I remembered what mom said "at least we die as a family." So why? Why am I alive? Why me? I began to sob uncontrollably as I remember how brutal each of their ends were.

"I was supposed to die. Why am I the only one left?" I hear a door open behind me suddenly I'm pulled into someone's arms but I don't care.

"It's okay" I hear a man's voice. I have no idea who it is but his voice sounds familiar.

"It's okay, your safe now, you don't have to worry your alive."

"Why?" I ask before I fall unconscious again.

"Is he okay Doc?" A woman dressed a a nurse enters the room looking concerned.

"It's quite alright Lucille" Doc says as he places Malcom back on the table.

"This child's been through a quite traumatic experience. When he wakes up make sure he's comfortable and please exercise caution, I can't even begin to comprehend the amount of damage he's suffered psychologically ."

"Will do Doc." She says as she starts to clean up the mess.

As he leaves the room Doc looks back at Malcom with pity in his eyes remembering his last question "why?"

"You'll find out in due time my child." He says with tears in his eyes.

I wake up again this time I'm in a small room, the lights are dim enough that they're not blinding but bright enough for me to see, as I sit up I check my surroundings.The room I'm in is bare, besides a few things like a bed, a desk, a dresser and a sink with a mirror. There aren't any windows so I can't even tell if it's night or day. I somehow manage to get up and walk over to the sink and see my reflection I'm missing both arms and covered in bandages from head to toe.

" I look like a fucking mummy" I chuckled dryly.

I hear the door open behind me and I turn to see a girl dressed like a nurse walk in.

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't know you were awake." She said surprised.

"Where am I?" I asked. " and who are you?"

"My name is Lucille and your currently in city 1 we brought you here immediately after we found you in the wreckage of city 8."

"Were there any other survivors?" I asked know full well what the answer was.

"Besides you? Unfortunately No. The entire city was obliterated" she said calmly.

She then proceeded to change my bandages, as she got closer I noticed just how strange she was. The way she moved was unnatural. Her movements were weirdly fluid, there was no hesitation, almost like each move was carefully calculated. Her appearance was even more unusual. Her eyes were bright purple and gave off a faint light and her hair was a strange shade of pink it could've been dyed but I doubted it. I closed my eyes and tried to sense her Spiritual Power but was immediately shocked when I couldn't.

" Um not to be rude or anything, but what are you? I mean your not human right?" I asked outright.

"I see, your observation skills are top notch " she laughed.

"Your right I'm not human , I'm actually an android created by Doc."

"Doc?"

"He owns this place it's sorta like a laboratory/hospital/house." She laughed "Don't worry we'll see him after I'm through here." She explains calmly.

Once my bandages are changed she sits me in a wheelchair and takes me on a tour of the facility.

"Just like the floating cities this facility can also move around on its own, unfortunately it can't fly so we have to move around underground."

"Wouldn't that just alert any underground demon beasts nearby" I asked.

"Well ordinarily yeah but we use the same sensors the other cities use. And if any of them do get close enough we have the most advanced weapons on the planet. Not to mention this place could withstand an all-out attack from a general level soldier." She boasts.

" I'm impressed." I say looking around in awe. We come to a stop at a huge door.

"Check this out" She says as her right arm splits open to reveal a cylindrical key embedded in her arm. She uses the key to open the door and we are greeted with an amazing scene it looks like a laboratory except it size is massive,it looks to be a little larger than a stadium, and it's filled with all kinds of amazing tech. From pistols to huge mechs it's all amazing, as I'm looking around I hear a voice.

"Welcome, it's nice to see you finally awake."

I turn around to see a familiar face.

"Aren't you that guy I ran into the other day?" I asked perplexed.

"I'm glad you recognize me I was worried about how your mental state would be once you woke up but I'm glad to see you're fine." He said with a warm smile. " I never got to introduce myself to you my name is Doc."

"Doc?" I said skeptically. "That's like your actual name?"

"I'd tell you my real name." He chuckled. "but your just gonna end up calling me Doc anyway"

"Touché." I agree.

"I want to thank you for saving my life." I start to say.

"There's no need." He interrupts.

"All of humanity saw the fight you and your family put up against Michael and his generals, on top of that they saw you actually wound him, if we didn't do everything in our power to save you we would've lost the best chance humanity has at ever ending this war."

"I think you're putting me on too high a pedestal there doc." I say sheepishly.

"I think your underestimating yourself son, not only did you survive an all out battle with The supreme commander of the army of despair and his generals but you also managed to wound him. You did the one thing every single human being on this planet has been trying to do since the start of this war."He said with a dead serious tone.

"I do not exaggerate when I say, I fully believe that you are the last and only hope humanity has left in this endless war, I will help you in any way I possibly can."

Doc and Lucille both bow their heads toward me.

" I think you've got something wrong here." I blurt out.

"I'm not some savior of humanity, I'm not some last hope type of guy either. My one and only goal in this life right now is to kill Michael and his generals if I end the war in the process then so be it, and if you're gonna help me do that then I need information, equipment and allies, but before that I'll need new arms can you help with that?"

"Indeed I can" Doc says with a smile.
