Chapter 18: In tracker mode

Natsa << hey, she won't feel anything I hope?! >>

Modeas << trust me!! >>

MI-GHUMI's body seemed to light up for Asmodeus and me but the others might not be able to see that.

Modeas << I'm going to let you go get it yourself, your power must be able to recognize you as the possessor>>

A kind of golden chain escapes from MI-GHUMI and pierces my heart

Then time around completely stopped, even the leaves that fell from the trees no longer reached the ground, the birds no longer moved from the sky, the chain brought me straight to the spiritual place of MI-GHUMI.

Once inside, I could see that it was raining heavily, the spiritual place of MI-GHUMI seemed to be sad, I wonder why?!

Natsa << hum... >>

A little ahead, I see a MI-GHUMI child hugging two faceless adults...

Are they spirits?! Souls ?

What is certain is that MI-GHUMI seems to be comfortable in their arms... I think these are the vague images that MI-GHUMI has of her parents.. but why don't they have faces?

Huh..

Looking a little ahead, I saw something disturbing.

Am I really in the spirit of MI-GHUMI?

I saw MI-GHUMI walking while shaking hands with a person....and that person is me...

What does all this mean?

I suddenly saw lots of characters around who all had no faces, it's as if for her no one interests her except me...

Natsa << hum...!! >>

A whirlwind occurs, this whole vision is destroyed and forms a black sphere... this sphere I recognize, it is my power, my strength finally!!

I reach out to finally touch it, and suddenly it disappears. A giant MI-GHUMI appeared, she was all blue, her eyes were bright white.

_ Who are you?

She said.

Natsa << what a question, I want what you hold in your hand because this thing belongs to me >>

This thing, I think is the spirit of MI-GHUMI.

_ Does she belong to you? Are you Natsa?

Natsa << yes, you are the spirit of MI-GHUMI, right? >>

_ Indeed, look natsa, I protected this spherical thing for you until you came to get it, you're proud of me, huh?

Nasta << yes, very proud of you, but I have a question, why didn't you give it back to me or talk about it? >>

_ Because my human body doesn't know all that, it's only me who knew because she appeared here mysteriously!

Natsa << indeed, it makes sense... Very good, now that I know you have it, I want you.......

A great light brings me straight back to reality.

Modeas << Luci, have you regained your powers? >>

Natsa << meh...! >>

I look in the direction of MI-GHUMI, and I can't help but say to myself that she cares so much about me, even her spirit watches over my property, that said, I still don't know who those faceless guys were who took him in their arms...

Modeas << you really mean that you haven't regained your powers?! >>

Natsa << puffff, here's the car we wrecked up front, you have to fix it! >>

Modeas << but you don't answer my question asshole!! >>

A twin comes closer to us.

Rose << Mr. Modeas, it's that car!! >>

Modeas looked at the car and saw that its condition was not that bad.

Modeas << Puuufff, is that just that? Come on, little one, go find the others, I'll take care of fixing it! >>

Rose nods and walks away towards MI-GHUMI, orchid and Rosie.

Modeas << well, a stroke of magic and everything is fixed! >>

Natsa <>

Modeas << eh, why? >>

Natsa << The twins don't know that we have magic, so they don't throw us around, we prefer to act normally or hidden, I advise you to do the same>>

Modeas << Wait, you mean I have to repair this car with my bare hands?! Are you kidding me ?! >>

Natsa << it's the only way to be indiscreet! >>

Modeas << But I... Ah... I don't know how to repair cars with my bare hands! >>

Natsa << you just invented it, moreover even if you didn't know it, thanks to your powers you can allow yourself to know it and that's it, you have no excuse>>

Modeas << Grrrrrrrrr.... Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! >>

He made a scream of rage and walked away with smoke seemingly coming out of his ears.

I could have offered to repair the car with her powers and then erase that part of the twins' memories, but I'm in no hurry either.

While Asmodeus was repairing the car, MI-GHUMI, the twins and orchid were sitting arguing, I was sitting under a tree looking at a beautiful landscape in the distance and lost in my thoughts. I keep thinking, I am the devil logically MI-GHUMI no matter her actions, she should not be able to affect me emotionally, but alas, this human body perhaps makes me too human, I should watch out like with Jamila to the perpetual existence of MI-GHUMI....

Natsa << um...?! >>

MI-GHUMI << Sorry to bother you but why are you staying here alone?! >>

Did she come to me?

So she's doing it for me!

Natsa << It's nothing, I just wanted a quiet place to think a little! >>

MI-GHUMI << oh.. I see, and how are your wounds? >>

Natsa << they were completely healed by Asmodeus earlier, so, what I see is the flow between Orchid and you? >>

MI-GHUMI smiled and said,

MI-GHUMI << yes, she's great! >>

Natsa << how old is she? >>

MI-GHUMI << 17!! >>

Natsa << what did you normally talk about? >>

MI-GHUMI << of all people, she talks to me about her big brother, his adventures and I do the same! >>

Natsa <>

MI-GHUMI << She told me for example that when she and her big brother were arrested, he did something so funny, he made the police car drive itself, the alarm sounded by itself, the music played by itself and they were her and him making out in the car while the police were completely crazy this story made me laugh so much! >>

Natsa << ha... It's actually quite funny! >>

MI-GHUMI << and then you don't know the rest, there's also this time when..... >>

She talked, she kept telling me the adventures of Orchid and Asmodeus. She had so much enthusiasm so I understand that she feels very good with her being an unusual girl like her, the current can only go well between MI-GHUMI and orchid. As soon as I leave I will tell Asmodeus to take MI-GHUMI under his wing..

Everything she says only leaves me smiling for a moment without me even realizing it.

Modeas << there, I repaired the car we could go!!! >> Asmodeus warned.

Natsa << good, it's time to go now! >>

We all headed into the car before we all finally left.

We arrived, the things left, I decided to walk a little in Marlha, I realize that the city was quite magnificent, life seemed peaceful at first sight if you ignore everything that is going on behind it.

Natsa << hum...! >>

I stop near a pond where people were giving bread to the birds.

Seen this way, human life seems so calm and gentle, should I say I envy them?

We wouldn't go that far.

Around this park, I also saw young couples holding hands and making promises, they wrote their names on trees and marked them in a heart. I understand now why the one who made me loved them so much, but that doesn't change the fact that they are far from perfect.

_ excuse me young man!

Natsa << uh?! >>

_ can you help me carry my shopping bags?

She's just an old lady, she must be too tired to carry this thing by herself.

Natsa << Yes, of course! >>

The old lady passes me the bags which I now lift.

_ Thank you very much young man, follow me!

She and I walked a little ahead, we arrived at an alley, the situation was awkward, I didn't know what to say to this old woman who was asking me some rather strange questions.

_ I hope you brush your teeth often, my little boy!!

Natsa << uh... Yes of course! >>

This old woman is annoying with her questions... We can't wait for us to arrive at our destination quickly.

Then, suddenly I felt a strange presence lurking around us, the old woman and I are clearly surrounded by something uncomfortable, I would have to move her away from me so that she doesn't get shocked.

Natsa << Madam, could we please hurry up? >>

I ask this woman.

_ Oh... Young people today are in such a hurry!!

She answers.

But yet it was for his own good, and... And first of all, since when have I been interested in the good of others?

After a few minutes, we arrived in front of her house.

_ thank you very much my good man, you deserve a reward for your good help!!

Said the old woman.

Natsa << no thank you, it's not really.... >>

I haven't had time to finish my sentence before she hands me an object.

_ Hey young man, I honestly don't know how this object would be useful to you but take it for yourself anyway!

Hmm... A teaser?! What the hell do I have to do with myself?

I catch the teaser.

Natsa << thank you Madam, see you soon! >> I move away from this strange old woman, and I try to find the others at Monsieur Franck's, avoiding the place where I felt the strange presence.

But this presence manifests itself again when I find myself in an alley.

Natsa << who are you? You can't hide anymore, it's been a while since I spotted you! >>

Crack*

I turn around to see what was making that crack. Then to my left, a ball of fire rushes towards me.

Natsa <>

I did a jump, and dodged that fireball pretty easily.

Below me, the earth distorts and stretches completely, rushing towards me to crush me.

I stretched out my right foot and the earth smashed against it. As I smashed it, I was pushed back by the pressure of the impact which made me do a backflip before landing on the ground.

Natsa << it's cowardly to attack in the shadows without showing up! >>

Clop, clop*

The sound of shoes attracts my attention.

_ you seem agile to me, natsa Desgodor, but if you allow yourself to be captured kindly, I promise you that we will not harm you.

Natsa << hum...! >>

Because you can hurt me?

_ I don't think you're going to cooperate, muleheads like you always think they can resist us, so I'm going to have to hurt you!

Natsa <>

The man in front of me materializes two magic circles on his hand and red lightning forms then projects towards me.

I remain unmoved, and the lightning mysteriously disappears in front of me

_ what, what happened?

Natsa <>

I respond with a sarcastic tone.

_ don't make fun of me!!

He says and then crosses his hands creating a huge magic circle that stretches across the entire alley.

_ let's see how you plan to escape this!!

Gray flames escape from the magic circle

_ I present to you the flames of desolation, it consumes mind, body and soul in an instant!!

Natsa << you weren't supposed to capture me? Because if the effects you speak of harm me, you won't be able to take me where you want, I'm afraid!>>

_ Still in sarcasm, pretending that my attacks don't impress you isn't going to save your life, besides I wasn't planning to attack you but to scare you, but since you're being too sarcastic I'm going to destroy you and say that I killed you without doing it on purpose to my superiors!!!

Natsa << please don't get in the way! >>

He frowns and grinds his teeth

_ you know that you are in my magic circle, right?

Natsa << given that I am in this alley which is all taken up by this circle, then yes of course! >>

_ Grrrrr.... You annoy me, die!!!!

After he says it, the gray flames become fiery and completely destroys the alley and everything it contains, the author of the technique had to move away from the alley so as not to be the victim of his own attack.

_ haaaahahahah, we're not being so clever sir, I don't exist anymore?!

Natsa << is that all?! >>

_ eh... He...he is still alive, it's impossible, these flames consume body, mind and soul in one attack, how can he still be alive and without scratches?!

I stood in the flames watching him.

Natsa << your flames are certainly flames of desolation, but nevertheless, these flames have no effect on me, unfortunately for you! >>

_ it's... it's impossible, why don't they have an effect on you?

Natsa << because they are far too negligible for me but not only that, I just decided how this fight will unfold, and believe me you have no chance of winning! >>

_ no... No... Where are you going with this?

Natsa <>

_huh... You mean by that you're going to eliminate me in one go?

Natsa << exactly, I'm just waiting for the right moment! >>

He faced me and said

_ no, you're lying, I refuse to believe you!

Then he jumps towards me and attacks with his punches and kicks. I have no need to counter his attacks because I have already won, and his attacks are all insignificant thanks to my choice of the course of current events.

_ it's not possible !!!!

He should give up soon no, before he Smashes his arm against my body.

He withdraws for a moment and extends his hand, making another magic circle appear around me.

_ we members of the NSDR are invincible, we are able to control the elements so you can't assert yourself with so much sarcasm in front of me!!!

His magic circle lights up, and lightning falls from the sky and hits me full force.

_ take that !!!!!

Several dozen lightning bolts fall from the sky in succession and strike me several times.

_haaaahahaha, what do you say about that?!!

He stops his lightning attack and now wants to look at my corpse on the ground but was surprised to see me still standing without scratches, even my clothes were intact.

_ nooooooooo!!!!!

He screamed in rage.

Natsa << I'm afraid I'm going to kill you now!! >>

_ eh... No pity, spare me!!

Natsa << what, now you beg me to spare your life, yet you have fully attacked me relentlessly with the aim of killing me! >>

_ I'm sorry, my superiors at the NSDR made me do it!

Natsa << they will therefore expect to never see you again because I will also make your body disappear after killing it >>

_ no, pity, pity I beg you to spare me!! I will do what you ask me to do if necessary!!

Natsa << very good, then get out of there! >>

_ eh, is that all?

Natsa << hum...!! >>

_ it's okay, I... I'm getting out of there right away!

He turns around and disappears.

Perhaps I should have killed him to avoid a future catastrophe, he is in every case in cahoots with the NSDR.

Anyway, I should go home first.

At Monsieur Franck's, Asmodée was having a party with MI-GHUMI, the twins and orchid. They have fun as if they were all kids, adding the point about Asmodeus, the latter knows how to party drinking beer and eating embers.

I barely arrive and MI-GHUMI rushes towards me.

MI-GHUMI << Natsa, where have you been? >>

Natsa <>

MI-GHUMI << you must be hungry, come on!! >> She pulls my arm and leads me to an all-you-can-eat buffet.

MI-GHUMI << go ahead and help yourself, Orchid and I prepared everything! >>

Hmm... I'm not hungry, eating isn't essential to me anyway, but to please MI-GHUMI why not?

Natsa << I'll help myself! >>

MI-GHUMI << hum... No, finally I'm going to serve you natsa food myself! >>

Natsa << huh...>> She served me everything and nothing, my tray ended up overloaded.

She then hands it to me and adds

MI-GHUMI << here, eat and what would you like to drink with it? >>

Natsa << bring me some red wine! >>

MI-GHUMI << very good His Highness, hihi!>>

MI-GHUMI was proud to serve me food and drink, but that's not what suits me, what pleases me most is because they're proud, that's all, she's having fun never and don't even think about the NSDR anymore, that's all, this peace won't last if we don't put an end to this quickly, MI-GHUMI risks losing this joy very quickly if she absolutely forgets all this, although with Modeas' company she has nothing to fear from them, it's not reassuring to let her take care of this matter, the best thing is that I attack before they attack which won't be complicated anyway....

MI-GHUMI << your very cold drink! >>

Said MI-GHUMI with my drink.

I ate and drank under the assistance of MI-GHUMI who kept talking about everything and anything, she was really drunk that one.

After eating and celebrating a little with them, I decided to disappear for a while to continue my investigation.

Although I had regained my powers, I had also bequeathed a little of my esteem in MI-GHUMI who had become authority, this authority has become hers, let's hope that the moment he speaks, she will know how control it.

Well, what if I was a weird association that killed people to enrich an entity where I would hide?

Natsa << *perfect sense*>> an invisible mass of my aura spreads throughout the city of Marlha, I was able to listen to all the rumors circulating from both sides. It's strange, I wasn't able to understand a single rumor that could have a connection with the NSDR.

It's probably because no one is talking about it!! Yes it is .

Well the best thing is to try to notice any suspicious movement in this city... I close my eyes and concentrate.

Natsa << hum...!!! >>

I open my eyes again.

It's crazy, how everyone in this town can be suspicious, they all have crazy moves.

Natsa << perfect sense* will be of no use to me at the moment, that's clear, well, I might as well go to a bar to hope to get some information >>

I am heading towards a place that is a little abandoned by the public, at this level only the biggest thugs meet to take a verse, I who am in the body of a young adult of 18 years old will logically be a prey of choice for a member of the NSDR.

I arrive at the front door of the bar and am immediately arrested by two guards.

_ hey kid, where are you going like that?

Natsa << well, inside is it not obvious? >>

_ how dare this little one answer me?

_ um... I think there's a girl the same age as him if I remember correctly inside, so I guess he should come in!

Said one of the guards.

_ what, how did she get home?

The other guard replies.

_ I don't know, but it was you who agreed to let her go back later!

Natsa << if she came home why not me? >>

_Kid, if you come back here, we won't be responsible if something serious happens to you, you've been warned, if it turns out, that girl from earlier isn't even alive anymore!

Natsa << Can I come home? >>

_ this kid is really insolent!!

_ let him in, someone will make him pay for his insolence once inside, you can come in little one!

The two guards move aside and let me pass. Once inside, the atmosphere was really strange, there was a smell of drugs, fights, arguments, illegal games and even crimes in front of my eyes. of everyone, it's like the jungle here, it's the law of the strongest that dominates.

_ hey kid, did you get lost? I don't think you'll find your mom here aahahahah!!!

Said a drunk guy.

I ignore him and head straight to the bartender.

The bartender << hum, how old are you? >>

Natsa << 18 years old, why? >>

The bartender << It's risky here for people your age! >>

Natsa << blah! >> It's pretty risky for all of you right now.

The bartender << Would you like me to offer you a drink? >>

Natsa << No, it's not worth it! >>

The bartender << so what are you looking for here young man? Are you looking for a criminal to kill someone? >>

Natsa << Pfff, neither, and what's more, I don't see how you're useful to me! >>

The bartender << oh, it depends on what you would like to know! >>

Natsa << hum... >>

A completely drunk man walks towards me

_ hey, little one, would you like to play with me?!

Natsa << no sorry! >>

_ oohh, don't be so modest, you know we can be very good friends!!

Natsa << get out of there! >> I tell him with a cold look.

_ hahaha, this little one is threatening me, so I'll take that as a yes, so you want to play with m.....!!

Before he finished his sentence, he took a huge kick from me on the cheek which threw him several meters and immediately caused chaos when he smashed a wall.

Everyone's attention is on me because it was pretty violent stuff.

I climb on the bartender's table and scream

Natsa << Hey, for your attention everyone, you came here to do your stupid things so remember that not everyone would like to be part of it, is that clear?!! >>

The bartender << my little one, I think you signed your death! >>

_ but who does this kid think he is?

_ message received small, you are going to get taken down!!!

I had attracted all the attention towards me, there were people pulling out weapons from both sides to do battle with me. Very well I'm going to kill them all, one moment will be more than enough to kill them all.

_ stop!!!!

Natsa << eh?! >>

There was a tall, muscular man with tattoos all over his body who had just shouted stop, this man is rather imposing, I even wonder if he is really human. Anyway, he moved slightly towards me and then stopped.

In his virile man's voice he said

_ So it's you, natsa Desgodor!!

Natsa << eh?!! >>
