Stigmatas

A heavy rain is falling in the city of New York as tears from the eyes in pain of a humble widow who just lost her beloved husband. Shiller, Mei-ling, Naomi and the mysterious kid were brought to the AIB head quarters by General Nicholi’s squad; all of them were given an important treatment to their injuries, but as for the kid still unconscious, he was taken to a special room for more observation and care.

Jearim: “Is that the boy you’re talking about…” (Observing from an external frame in the corridor)

Blaii: “But he’s just a kid…” (Intrigued)

Nicholi: “I had the same expression at the first sight, but from Shiller, this kid could cast holy spells of high intensity, which is so dangerous for a child”

Blaii: “Do you mean this child might be one of them…?”

Jearim: “We shall be informed once the medical and research departments will finish their analysis on his injuries”

Few minutes later, Sergeant Cassandra, Sergeant Steward, Doctor Hilda (28 years old) and Doctor Wilfred (44 years) came out from the laboratory with the results of their analysis.

Jearim: “So then how far?”

Doctor Wilfred: “There’s nothing to worry, his life is not in danger” (Handing the medical report)

Doctor Hilda: “We could identify the enormous usage of spiritual energy from the kid’s body, which is totally abnormal. We haven’t seen such a case before…”

Cassandra: “But also we’ve identified something interesting about his blood”

Nicholi: “Expatiate…”

Steward: “Well…it seems the kid’s biological aspect is static…”

Blaii: “What do you mean by that youngster?! Express yourself!”

Doctor Wilfred: “Miss Jearim I think you understand what it means right”

Jearim: “He doesn’t age; it’s somehow like immortality but not exactly that…”

Steward: “Yes, this kid can die but also can’t get old either”

Cassandra: “It seems that it is linked with those marks he has in his hands” (Handing another report)

Jearim: “And what are they? NO WAY…?”

Cassandra: “Yes Miss… this kid is one of the chosen beings”

Nicholi: “A stigmata…”

Blaii: “But why was he alone in Florida, aren’t they suppose to be hidden somewhere in the Holy land by the Vatican for more security?”

Steward: “I shall send a report to them so as to keep them informed”

Jearim: “No wait!”

Blaii: “Miss?”

Nicholi:” You know we have to respect the procedures, or else we’ll be in trouble…”

Jearim: “We shall first ask him few questions once he’ll be awake, I think we have much to know from him about certain issues, don’t you guys think?” (Smile)

Cassandra: (Scared) “Miss please stop with that smile”

Steward: “Yeah, it’s always no good…”

Jearim: “If anything has to happen, I’ll take the entire responsibility”

Nicholi: “None can stop her once she starts” (Shaking his head and smiling)

Blaii: “I think you’re feeling something out of this, am I wrong?”

Jearim: (Smiling) “You really begin to know me as time goes on huh?”

Doctor Hilda: “But more importantly, I wonder what this sealed scroll is?” (Showing the scroll)

Blaii: “It seems there is a whole that needs a key…”

Jearim: “As this rain falling out there, something tells me that it’s just the beginning, we should prepare ourselves for a worst scenario. Let us be informed once he’s awake”

Doctor Wilfred: “Yes Miss”

Jearim: “As for you two, how far are you guys in the search with that Soul Cleaner LTD?”

Cassandra: “So far nothing really suspicious, apart that almost all the victims have once been their customers”

Jearim: “Okay, go back to the search, I wish to thank you General Nicholi, with this we’ve made a new step towards our investigation”

Nicholi: “No it’s nothing; all I did was being present at the right time and right place. I’ll submit you my report soon as I’ll finish with my luggage in my apartments. Now will you excuse me…” (Going away)

Meanwhile in another medical room, Mei-ling and Naomi were still unconscious and were still lying on their beds. Shiller whose injuries were minor came to look at their situation, from the corridor watching at

them, he was suddenly filled with frustration and pain for not being able to protect them from the beast back in Florida.

Devoymer: “You’re strong to yell at me, but to kill a freaky summoned beast from hell is greater than you? How pathetic…” (Exhaling smooth from his mouth leaning on the wall)

Shiller: (Sad smile) “You who has been spending your life killing innocent people…why am I wasting my saliva anyway, you’re a lost soul who can’t understand for you got nothing to protect”

Devoymer: “Whatever, I don’t care, but you want to be strong then so be it. Be strong enough to protect your so called squad, if you’ll understand that, then you’ll know at that time that I acknowledged you as my real rival. Idiot” (Moving away with dirty smile and throwing his cigarette in a trash can)

Shiller: (Pissed off and hitting the wall) “Damn you Nathaniel…I’m not strong enough? That’s what you mean by that…? Not strong enough…?” (Leaning his head to the wall staying silent)

While at that same moment, the other members of Devoymer’s team were in their diverse activities; Sanchez was working on a new

weapon, Lornitta was meditating in her apartment, and Miss Eva was watching the sad rain falling in from her apartment through the large window.

(Cameroon, Douala, Ndokoti)

7 o’ clock in the night, Ruth, Kellies and Donnay as well as the rest of some of their colleagues at the Soul Cleaner LTD went to Marianna’s barbeque party at her new house in Ndokoti another street in Douala. Marianna was so glad to see them at her place, there was a lot of other guest as well, men and women.

Ruth: “Wao, girl! Your apartment is amazing! I’m glad for you”

Kellies: “Oh My Gosh, Look at the terrace, it’s so cool!”

Donnay: “Yeah and they male invitees aren’t bad at all as well; someone could take a nice bite” (Wetting her lips)

Xora: “I knew you will say such a thing”

Serena: “Chill Xora, aren’t we here to have some fun?”

Dru: “Hey girls who wants some spicy meat?”

Kwiin: “Who will turn such an offer? Right Annia?”

Annia: “Right my girl! Hey guys you’re coming?”

Hans and Wilson: “Sure!!”

Wilson: “Hey buddy keep me the large piece!”

Marianna: “Achilleos…? I’m glad you could come over, although the circumstances aren’t right…”

Achilleos: (Serious look) “It’s okay…I’m going to take some food”

Donnay: “Always cold as usual nay?”

Ruth: “Donnay?!” (Frowning at her)

Xora: “How can you be so indifferent after hearing what happened to his relative?”

Marianna: “We shouldn’t have to invite Achilleos…I think it was a bad idea?” (Sad)

Ruth: “No don’t say that? He has a week before the funerals; this is a way to help him pull himself together!”

Xora: “Sure! Don’t worry everything’s going to be fine?”

Donnay: “Well, but you know everyone’s fate is to die one day, so for the time being we just have to enjoy!”

Xora: (Getting pissed off) “This girl is you insane…?” (Stopped by Ruth)

Donnay: “Hey boys here is the sexy Donnay come get me if you got the cash! Yeah” (Going towards the other male invitees)

Ruth: “Calm down Xora, Donnay can be like that but she doesn’t mean any bad thought you know”

Marianna: (Smiling)

Xora: “Yeah but she has to stop being that rough though…”

Ruth: (Smile) “I’m sorry just chill okay?”

“Always defending her friends even when they do wrong, you’ve never changed after those past years” said a male voice coming towards them.

Marianna: “Hey Bright, you’ve come? I can’t believe it!”

Bright: “Sorry, lots of traffic congestions but I’m here at this moment” (Hugging Marianna)

Ruth: “Bright?”

Xora: “Do you know that handsome good looking guy Ru?”

Ruth: “Yeah, its Bright Siakeng, we were in college together” (Amazed)

Marianna: “Hey girls I want to present to you a very good friend of mine, Bright Siakeng!”

Bright: “Long time no see Ru? It’s been how many? Close to 10 years?”

Ruth: “Yes…”

Marianna: “Bright and I met at the University of California; he helped me while I went there for an exchange program”

Bright: “And you’re?”

Xora: “Xora, a friend and colleague to Ruth”

Bright: “Nice to meet then”

Marianna: “Well, Xora, will you not mind come with me to the kitchen, we got some stuffs to do for the guests” (Smiling and dragging Xora away)

Xora: “Hey?! But…”

Marianna: (Whispering) “Are you blind or what? Can’t you see that they got lots of things to talk about? Geez, you need to get yourself a boyfriend dear”

Marianna and Xora left them alone and the two stayed there a little bit confused by their attitude. Bright was Ruth’s classmate at secondary school, one of the most popular young teenagers at their college back then. She always had a crush on him, but circumstances changed when this one went to USA to continue with his studies after his father’s death.

Bright: “You’ve become a beautiful young woman you know” (Taking a drink)

Ruth: (Touching her hairs in a shy manner) “Don’t be kidding me, as for you, you’ve really grown more handsome than before”

Bright: (Cute Smile) “I’m glad to see you again”

Ruth: “Well…that makes us even then…” (Smile)

Serena: “Hey every one look over there”

Donnay: “Wao, that face look so familiar…”

Kwiin: “He’s so cute!”

Hans: “OH My Gosh, My heart is pounding; I think I’m in love!”

Dru: “Uhm dude, stop your craps will you? You don’t have to stick on me like that, there’re many other guys here. Suit yourself okay?

Serena: “Oh how sweet Dru”

Kwiin: “What a perfect couple”

Hans: “You see? Even the girls give us their blessing. Well then shall we kiss?” (Trying to kiss Dru)

Dru: “Burk! Stop that!”

Hans: “Hahaha! Just kidding, you’re a real shy guy though, how attractive”

Dru: “Geez, you too…”

Wilson: “Hey Annia that’s my line! Don’t touch my fish, it’s not fair!”

Annia: “You’re a gentleman, just abide buddy”

Everyone was having great fun at Marianna’s little party, and as for Bright and Ruth, they went somewhere so as to have a more private chat.

(In a place still unknown by commoners)

 

A group of individuals gathered for a secret meeting, all in black coat covering their faces (4 men and a Woman). In a number of 5 all were sitting on chairs that seemed to be thrones, with statue of strange beasts behind them in a circular manner with a huge flame at the center.

Chairman 5: “It seems as if, we’re reaching our goals faster than expected”

Chairman 2: “It’s all due to the high level of greed present in the minds of men this 21st century”

Chairman 5: “As you say my fellow comrade and we’ve eliminated most of those creepy cults that were a hindrance to the destruction of the “Human Seals”, soon enough the hosts of our Master’s children will all be at their full power”

Chairwoman 4: (Laughing) “I can’t wait to see that happen, the destructive power of our Master’s heirs; the Omens of Chaos…”

Chairman 1: “How about the Stigmatas? Marissa Van Der Shultz”

A woman walked out from the dark with two young ladies, it was the same who attacked Shiller’s squad in Florida, and then in front of the chairmen, Marissa removed the hood that was covering her face. Red crimson irises on the eyes like those of a beast’s, and then she knelled before them in sign of respect.

Chairwoman 4: “Oh…? You’ve regained your beauty back as I can see…How possible?” (Smiling)

: “An old spell casted on me was destroyed by another during my encounter with an old acquaintance of mine, it could have killed me but fortunately I survived”

Chairman 3: “Have you succeeded in luring one of the Stigmatas?”

Marissa: “Yes my lord, but elites from AIB intervened; I had no choice other than to retreat”

“Don’t worry, let us allow them to collect the fishes for us, then all what we’ll have to do, is to just come and collect” said a male voice in the dark.

Marissa: “Angela! Shella”

Angela and Shella: “Yes ma’am” (Their eyes turned reddish-golden yellow)

“Kneel!” said the male voice in a German language pointing his hand wearing a strange ring. Then a spell was casted around Angela and Shella which created an area of high gravity and forced them to kneel.

Marissa: “Streger…so it was you”

Mr. Streger: “Of course, I’m one of the 5 who was granted the honor of wearing the rings of servitudes as you dear” (Dirty smile and releasing the spell)

Marissa: “Aren’t you supposed to be after the hint left by that stupid woman who couldn’t hold down her curiosity 7 years ago?”

Mr. Streger: “Don’t worry, another ring holder is taking charges, and I’ll be back soon to Douala” (Smiling)

Chairman 1: “Why have you come then?”

Mr. Streger: “Well my lords, it seems there’s a host who maybe a problem. It seems as if his thirst for bloodshed is diminishing”

Chairman 2: “What can be the cause for such an effect?”

Chairwoman 4: “Oh surely all that is due to the influence of that Failure back then”

Marissa: “That one…?”

Mr. Streger: “Yes…among all of them, they were 3 who are seen to be the most dreadful of all our Master’s heirs. But due to the forbidden sensation, she began to lose her effectiveness in releasing the amount of evil energy. Thus became a failure”

(Angela and Stella speechless in fear)

Chairman 1: (Calm for a while) “We should retrieve him back as fast as the package and the hint have been in our possession “

Mr. Streger: “Yes my lord” (Retreating)

Marissa: “About our Stigmatas pals, I’ve detected two great amount of holy energy being released recently not far from Zurich in Europe. I’ve ordered Du Louve to capture him, alive of course”

Chairman 3: “We got to catch those Stigmatas by all course, so as to perform the ritual that will lead to the destruction of their seal”

Marissa: “Don’t you worry my lords; we shall not commit the same mistakes as our predecessors. This time for sure our beloved Master shall be revived and terror shall reign on this earth, with you five by His sides, well then may I leave you, ladies let’s go”

Angela and Shella: “Yes ma’am”

(All three vanishing from their gathering hall)

Chairwoman 4: “Hey dear 5th, you said nothing during the whole meeting, rejoice for our glorious time is soon reaching”

Chairman 5: “Nothing, the earlier we finish with this the faster our quest shall be attained, there is nothing more I have to day” (Retreating from the hall)

Chairman 2: “He hasn’t changed since those 20 years…”

Chairman 3: “Are you sure that everything will proceed as scheduled 1st?”

Chairwoman 4: “Let’s hope we should get that hint before we get into a fight with the AIB or the Vatican, but why can’t we just eliminate them at once?”

Chairman 1: “Our ritual should go on in a total discretion, after our Master’s revival into this world, they won’t have any means to fight, as simple as that. Things like; Hope, faith, dreams, and happiness. Those are illusions created by a set of fools, men are to be ruled true terror, and it’s only our Master who can bring it”

 

 

 

 

 

(Somewhere in a small village at 20km of Zurich in Europe)

 

In the middle of the night, two kids were running, a boy and a girl that seem to be twins, named Thor’èl and Ash’èl respectively. After them was a young man dressed in a black coat, with reddish-golden eyes jumping from roof to roof.

Thor’èl: “Damn it, why were you supposed to use your holy powers, now we’ve been spotted!”

Ash’èl: “I’m so sorry, but those children were thirsty and there was no water in that well, I couldn’t leave them like that!”

Thor’èl: “Whatever, this way!” (Pulling her)

The young man passed over them and the two kids were taking some minutes of rest while moving.

Ash’èl: “Brother have you seen that man’s eyes? It seems as if he was one of them”

Thor’èl: “Yes Ash’èl, he’s an Omen, damn it! His power has terribly increased, I’m sure a great number of Human seal was destroyed. That explains the huge intensity of his evil energy, but don’t worry I won’t allow being captured by him”

Ash’èl: “Watch out?” (Pushing her brother apart)

The wall of a house was being destroyed, as the smoke was setting down, the siblings saw a beast. The head of a jaguar with a human body, but with the arms of a gorilla, having the craws of a wolf on the fingers.

Young Man: “You can’t escape, my beasts shall catch you” (Drawing two daggers)

The young man then summoned another beast of the same nature, taking a huge opportunity; they began to run away with all their strength. Meanwhile at that same moment, in a restaurant, a General with his squad from AIB were taking a break before leaving for Zurich the next day, so as to take their flight for New York.

Agent Lucas (30 years old): “General McRooner’s, you’ve won I can’t win against you”

Sergeant Vincent (34 years old): “Chill dude, you know that the General is a strong in drinking alcohol, mostly when it concerns vodka” (Laughing)

Agent Paola (28 years old):”C’mon Sergeant Vincent, please stop bordering that poor Lucas”

General McRooner (41 years old): “You should go back to your cottage and take a good rest tonight; we’re leaving early morning tomorrow for Zurich”

Riots from outside began to attract their attention, a great number of villagers were out, General McRooner and his squad went out, then realized that there was a number of people running away with fear. “A demon! We’re being attacked by demons!” screamed a villager.

Lucas: “Hey you, what the heck are you talking about?” (Grabbing a villager)

Villager: “There’s a demon destroying our village up there, it’s about to eat two kids! They’re doomed, save your life as you can!” (Running away)

The village was in total panic, everyone was running for their lives; men, women, children, and some aged people who could do so. Lucas went in to collect his Aura detector device, as he checked it, he found that it was over charged.

Lucas: “General! This is bad, the device has grown HS!”

Vincent: “Surely it got broke!”

McRooner: “No…there’s really something evil coming”

Paola: “Everyone look!”

Lucas: “Madonamia!”

They then saw two kids running from the beast in question, without thinking, McRooner removed his coat, activated an acceleration holy spell that pushed him with an overwhelming might towards the beast. As he arrived at the beast’s level, he casted his special spell, “The Iron Judgment Fist”, then gave a powerful hit on the beast’s heard that took it to the ground and caused environmental damages.

Vincent: “Wao, I’ll never get bored of such a scene…”

Paola: “Amazing…”

Lucas: “Hey kids over here! Quickly”

Vincent: “Oh no! Another one…Hey be careful kids, Lucas my guns!!”

Lucas: “ROGER!!!”

McRooner:”Damn it, there was another one?”

Young Man: “Don’t you interfere!”

The young man that was chasing after the two kids landed in front of McRooner, preventing him to help his squad.

McRooner: “Out of my way young man…”

Young Man: “I got nothing against you, but if you interfere in my mission. I will put you DOWN!!!” (Releasing his aura)

McRooner: “This evil pressure, it can’t be normal black magic, who the hell are you?”

While the kids were about to meet General McRooner’s squad, Ash’èl’s bag fell back, Thor’èl reached but his sister went back to collect it.

Thor’èl: “No! Come back Ash! It’s too late!”

Ash’èl: (Running towards the back) “We can’t lose them now. We promised remember?!”

In order to protect the girl, Vincent was trying to stop the 2nd beast’s progress towards her, but this one was so fast in dodging the bullets. Then in a second, while Ash’èl was taking the bag, the beast was already in front of her.

Ash’èl: (Scared)

Vincent: “Damn it”

Thor’èl: “DON’T TOUCH HER!!!!” (Angry)

Ash’èl: “Thor’èl no!”

Blood began to flow out of Thor’èl’s hands, then the whole area was covered with a heavy wind, his eyes became totally white. In a few seconds a terrible explosion occurred destroying the surrounding with raging flames. But as soon as the flames disappeared, McRooner and

his squad were all saved by spheres of water coming from the kid’s twin sister with her hands also dripping blood. The beast was destroyed but the enemy has vanished away, suddenly both kids fell unconscious.

Paola: “What the heck was that?”

McRooner: “A high level Holy spell”

Vincent: “Impossible, no kids have the ability to cast such an enormous amount of energy!”

Lucas: “General, can these kids be…?”

McRooner: “Yes Lucas, there’s no doubt about it, they’re the chosen ones. The Stigmatas, we should take them along with us to New York at head quarters” (Taking back his coat)

Meanwhile on a hill not far from the village, the young man was observing them, he took his cell phone and made a call.

Young man: “Allo, it is Bobbie on the line. No I didn’t capture them. An external factor interrupted the mission. My apologies Sir…Yes Sir… I’m heading back to Douala”

At that same hour back in Douala, while Ruth and her friends were having good times at Marianna’s party, someone succeeded in

breaking the holy barrier placed at Pastor Lawson’s church. Feeling the bad aura emanating from the stranger coming closer to the church, Pastor Lawson takes his rosary and goes to the service hall and begins to pray.

In a violent manner, the doors of the church were cut down, as a mere sheet of papers, then the stranger moved in without fear with a sword in his left hand.

Young Stranger: “Are you Pastor Lawson Bikwe?”

Pastor Lawson: “And who is asking for him?”

Young Stranger: “There’s no need for you to know my name, where is the hint of Bella Nniemelek, hand it over to me” (Pointing his sword at him, with his eyes turning reddish-golden yellow)

Pastor Lawson: “Oh, a lost sheep who has lost his path in this world for so long, deeply drawn in a pool of bloodshed and despair to others. Let me show you the way to the light my son” (Wearing gloves)

In a few seconds to come, the holy church has turned into a battle field, between two different forces. But still what does the hint left by Ruth’s mom possess as information that is so demanding?
