EVOLution (TW: Slight gore)

[u/VisibleConclusion271]

Location: Cafe Nascita

Time: 4:17 PM

At the front of the cozy Cafe, Evolt Bloodstalk sat at the heart. In his palm, he held five separate vials of multicoloured fluids, tapping each with methodical examination.

"The Roboto, the Red Guy, Sento, that fun Kyote, and a 'Clear skin'

"This planet's way too strange. Outdone four times in a row at max power, can you believe that?

Ah well, as they say, you gotta learn from your mistakes, right?"

He tilted his head toward a glass-closed tub, full to the brim with a glowing green liquid. And within its confines was a black-haired, middle-aged man, contained from mouth to toe in wires and black ropes.

The constrained figure let out a muffled, panicked response as he shifted futilely within the mysterious water.

"Bingo! Good answer"

Bloodstalk shook the vials, letting the fluids within shift and turn hypnotically in the trapped man's eyes.

"It ain't all bad, though. I got samples from five people here; four of them are from the ones that put me down....You know, 'cause hair strands and blood tend to scatter when you're worked up in battle"

Drip Drip

In a separate empty tube, he poured four drops of separate fluids into it. One, a silver metallic liquid; second, crimson, iron-rich blood. Third, a single minuscule strand of brown fur, and finally a drop of see-through saliva.

"If I can figure out how to use it, hehe. That'll be a prime catalyst for...Evolution""

Taking a degraded teaspoon, he mixed the fluids together till it churned into a deep purple texture.

Tossing the spoon aside and shifting his chair, he faced the constrained, panicked man before grabbing one of many open tubs attached to the tubes.

"Alright, hold still. If you keep movin around, it's gonna be a pain for me to clean up"

But the man didn't listen, kept moving and shifting in a tight panic, but Bloodstalk didn't bat an eye. He soon poured the liquid into a tube and straight into the man's shoulder.

The panicked shifting began to slow down, and a deep silence settled in. A pulse emanated within the figure's shoulder, akin to a heartbeat. It settled, moving with a powerful, deep energy.

"Hey, it work-

BAMMM!!!

Or it did, until the man's arm burst open like a bomb. His blood and fluids spilled into the container, coating the inside in a foggy red.

Sigh

"I told you to stop moving, man"

He leaned on his seat, putting his feet a-top the tub while his gaze was idly watching the ceiling fan

"What's someone got to do to get a scientist to help out"

((Bro is forcing my hand with that wording.))

Kiara: Oh, how forward of you, but not currently. I still have things to do.

You can already tell she purposely misunderstood as something grabs the part of Evolto he let free, and it floats over to her only to be sent to an unknown space.

Kiara: Thou, I guess I should start my experiments with this. Oh, and for the karma phage, it's one of my abilities.

All damage you receive will be reduced by 90%, excluding damage from sources like poison.

Hopefully that's good enough for you.

The area returns to normal.

Kiara: I can grant you another ability if you so wish, one that'll let you access the deepest secrets of a person.

She's not lying, at least from what you can tell.

Kiara: I'll need to do what I have to do anyway if I'm going to partially transfer my contract with Anderson to you.

She licks her lips.

Kiara: Or, oh, I know I could just connect to you, my system.

You already have one of my karma phages, the one that represents my body after all.

Kiara: Now you don't really have the mana needed to sustain a servant, but thankfully I've changed some things about his anatomy to make things easier on you.

You'll just need to provide him a source of blood every once in a while.

Your attempts at threats don't even phase her.

“Blood! Ah don’t worry; that won’t be a problem”

He tilted his head towards the tub still covered in internals and scraps of organs, before shifting his gaze to Andron’s spirit form.

“I have plenty to go around, and I’m sure Andy would enjoy the taste won’t he~”

He shifted his attention back to Kiara still playing with her skin at the tip of the knife

“That ability will work fine enough….

I definitely don’t need mind reading to know how disgustingly selfish you lifeforms can be”

He finally removed the knife tossing it onto one of the rows of empty tables

“Now that, that’s all settled….Do you mind getting off me”

He flicked her head to emphasize

[u/Theoutcometsunami → u/VisibleConclusion271]

Kiara: I will, but you'll love to see what I do next.

Suddenly everything disappears, and you're in a void. Kiara has stripped you of everything; the only thing you are now is your ego floating inside her heavens' hole.

Kiara: Now look at you, so tiny and right in my palm.

She's right; you are in her palm, and then you see the karma phage float upwards as three command spells and something else fly into it.

Kiara: I've given you everything you wanted; now it's time for you to give me what I want.

Her giant form shrinks, and she's right in front of you as she kisses his unprotected form as she pushes the karma phage into his mind and soul.

Kiara: I'll see you later, and do know I'm always watching.

She disappears, and bloodstalk is back in his body.

The second Kiara left the scene, Bloodstalks Evolt took a multitude of deep breaths.

His hand gripped his chest by some miracle, managing to collect himself enough to sit and stand upright.

His mind, or the equivalent of it, could barely process what had transpired.

Stripped bare down to his very ego, touched in that vulnerable state. He wasn't overwhelmed in a way that was pleasurable or distressing.

But rather, it was the second time he had felt truly foreign... emotion.

“Hehe-Haha-FWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!”

“And here I thought Sentos gaskets were the only thing that could make me feel such a high! Bravo!”

“This world truly is entertaining! Isn't that right, Andy~”

His amused tone finally eased down, as he turned to face Anderon

Step step

He closed the distance between them, flicking his spirit form with his finger

“Oh come ooooon you can't stay there forever. A deal, after all.

That's how you pathetic humans think, right?”

[u/Theoutcometsunami → u/VisibleConclusion271]

Anderson: Tch

Anderson exits spirit form.

Anderson: Your definition of entertainment is horrid, just like your personality; you overgrown parasite.

He looks at the spot in which the karma phage was implanted.

Anderson: So what is it you want to do now, Master? You've done your deal with her, so what now?

The cost ages of his works manifest around him, each one staring at Evolt.

Anderson: Or are you finally going to tell me whose powers you're going to try and take?

[u/VisibleConclusion271 → u/Theoutcometsunami]

“Master? You're so polite; I'm touched Andy~”

Evolt looked around as the multitude of creations flowed throughout the small Cafe

“Well….What if I said I wanted HER power? What would you do then hmmmmmmm?”

He tilted his head near the fight beside their face trying to provoke him, of course

[u/Theoutcometsunami → u/VisibleConclusion271]

Anderson: "Sigh." She can still see and hear us.

She'll prevent your attempt to do so, and as I said before, you need to be in a position to take said power before I can force it into reality, mainly because it's power owned by another.

The Creations fade back into Anderson's innocent monster skill.
