《Hail to the King (RE8 Harem/fanfic)》Chapter 15 - Belly of the Beast
Advertisement
Y/n followed Moreau down a path where they found a pile of dead cattle.
Jesus-
Shhhhh!
Moreau ushers Y/n into the old clinic locking the door behind him. The room holds a small table with various veils and tubs and other pieces of medical equipment.
You and the girl... Such obstacles... Mother will be very upset, mmmmm if it comes to light of our arrangement-
You can give me to Miranda.
Obviously not, but letting him think he'd let him have a victory that would greatly please Miranda might earn him some trust points.
Moreau scoffs angrily as he takes out a notebook and scrawls, y/n looked around to find one of Moreau's notebooks left out. Opening it he discovered Moreau had been doing experiments for awhile.
Y/n gasped as he felt pain in his lower back, Moreau pulled a syringe out of Y/n back with a grin.
Could have told me you wanted a blood sample!
Possibly~
Will that be enough to get the answers WE want?
For me yes but you no.
What are you talking about?
You'll get your answers after you bring me my supplies.
That wasn't the deal-
Y/n marched up to Moreau who picks up a book to shield his face as he cowers but urgently speaks out.
You want answers I need new Cadou!
Y/n stops in his tracks, eyes still a piercing red but he's contained himself.
Bring me Cadou... From Miranda laboratory underneath the ceremony site!... She won't give me anymore but you... All i need is one
Y/n hums to himself for a moment before nodding and looking at moreau.
Do you have a phone?
Moreau points to the back of the room, y/n walks over and dials for the castle. It takes a moment but Alcina anwers.
Yes?
Hello gorgeous.
Y/n my darling? Your alright, im relived. What can I do for you?
I'm here with Moreau... But i need into Miranda's lab.
That is impossible! Why would you ever need in there?
Y/n explains his plan to Alcina, she hesitantly agrees to understand and follow him.
I see. I don't disagree with the idea of identifying what makes you... special, besides your unrelenting lust~
Calm yourself my dear, when i get back ill see to it your taken care of... Roughly~
Im holding you to that, but more pressing is the lack of reliability in Moreau-
Im aware.
Y/n makes sure moreau isn't paying attention as he lowers his voice.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend... Tell me all the things our friend here hates.
He could hear the slight perk in Alcina's voice as she listed a few things Moreau disliked.
As for the lab im not sure how I can help.
I need you to run another diversion, but this time tell her you spotted outsides heading for Moreau territory called Terra Savers... Four of them, the fifth I wanna keep secret for myself, a girl in a red jacket.
Just for your own amusement of course?
Is someone jealous?
Please. The folly of mortal woman-
Could never compare to the beauty of the Dimitrescu woman~ she's strong Alcina and someone id rather have with us then against us my dear~
She tried to hide it but Alcina couldn't help laughing as she was slightly overwhelmed by Y/n's flattery.
She agreed to his plan and he gave Monreau the idea to confirm Alcina story if he wants these experiments to go on unobstructed. But also if another lord confirms Alcina story even once Miranda will trust in her more once again.
"A little lie for the greater good... Miranda will understand"

Y/n kinda drilled that motto into Moreau head.
So I bring you the Cadou. You run the tests, you give me and Miranda the results....
Yes..... Then she'll love me....
Y/n looked out the window towards the smoke stacks in the distance.
Is that Heisenberg factory?
Moreau only scoffs and and angrily rearranged his test tubes.
Y/n smiled then looked back the window faking displeasure.
What a poor excuse of a man. Gloats about his power but only uses it to show off in front of Miranda... How barbaric...
Moreau slows his movements, not looking at Y/n but listening.
A right good kick to the head... That man needs one, then he'd understand just how small he is.
Mother Miranda regards Heisenberg.... As a mechanical savant... Anyone else is just... Problematic
Engines and Machines are nice and durable... But the lack the feral genius of real biological weapons... Says to me, Heisenberg is compensating for something~
Y/n could have sworn he heard Moreau chuckle but looking at him Moreau shoved a key into his chest and pushed him towards the door.
Fulfill your end of the agreement... Then you shall have answers!
Moreau slammed the door behind him and locked it, a faint muttering and sound of glass moving is hearable but y/n only sighs and looks at the key.
[ About an hour or so later ]
Y/n walked deep into the woods, Moreau gave him a general direction and several warnings but nothing concrete.
{Thoughts} Shouldn't have trusted the fish with land direction... Oh well... Can't be far from here I mean its a door with wings.
Y/n heard the crackling and plucked the radio off his belt, fidgeting with the frequency he figures it Claire.
Claire what's going on?
You put on quite the show back at the lake.
{Thoughts} Jesse?! Wait... Not Jesse...
Y/n stared at the radio for a moment deciding weather to answer or not.
Oh don't play coy now Y/n, where's the brave boy who beat Moreau... Or the suave warrior who seduced the castle of vampires?~
So you've been here for awhile.
Debatable but were not here to talk about me, we're here to find Miranda's lab... Well you are at least.
Y/n went pull out his gun realizing this person had been a more in-depth observer then he thought but froze when a bullet whizzed by his ear and struck a tree behind him.
Now now sheriff, no need for getting trigger happy... I just wanna watch for now~
Y/n tried to scope out the direction of the shot but the mix of fog and terrain made it difficult, basically impossible even.
Look, I know what your thinking. "Random sniper in the middle of this mess with nothing to gain from me? Bullshit." And your right... But when I gain, you gain like how I gained access to the castle while you and Travis scuffled on the roof there... Now I'll pay you back with a little hint sugar~
A second shot rings out, it strikes the same tree as before. Looking closely at the tree y/n notices a divide in the bushes that he hadn't noticed before.
He goes to ask the anonymous watcher a question but the line is a long unbroken response of static.
Y/n looks around one last time before walking between the bushes.
On the other side was a solid steel door with natural cover where no one would have found it if not pointed to it and just like the key the door has 4-black wings on it.
Using the key he opens the door with a long rusted whine, the interior is dark only lit by a few torches.

Samurai edge in hand and a rock to wedge the door open Y/n steps through walking down the hall.
Even though the door had the wedge he heard it slam shut.
{Thoughts} Figures... Talk less, Hear more. Talk never, Hear Everything.
Y/n takes a deep breath and holds the gun forwards as he walks deeper into the halls.
Metal scrapping on the stone floor, a patient like figure with a visor walks through the lab searching alongside two other patient creatures brandishing makeshift gear cog axes.
The first creature drags its empty hand along the table filled with papers and bottle. A few papers fall off the desk and a bottle gets knocked off with a loud shatter.
One bottles rolls passed the creatures feet, like a dog with a ball follows the bottle where he walks into the barrel of Samurai edge.
Y/n pulls the trigger blasting the visor off the creature, the second shot blows it brains out over the wall with a bright red torch lit glow.
The second creature turns receiving a bullet to the knee, it drops and y/n focuses on the third shooting it in the hand taking its weapon away.
The creature on its knee gets executed by three shots to the next, its head only connected by a thin piece of muscle as it falls over dead.
The third grabs y/n on shoulder trying to bite him, he grabs creatures visor and rips it off visor and shoves it in the creature's mouth to bite on. Point blank he fires a bullet between the creatures eyes, he pockets the gun as the corpse hits the floor.
{Thoughts} Now then... A crab like parasite in a jar, but that doesn't mean I can't take a few other things.
Y/n goes to the first desk and files through papers. Some talk about Moreau experiments compared to Heisenberg's, scattered diary notes salvaged from the village, and various notes she's made about her own observations.
His eyes fell upon a hardcover book with gold detailing hidden behind bottles and specimen jars. It was heavy, opening it and reading the first few lines made y/n laugh.
{Thoughts} So these are your honest emotions Miranda... Your kids are gonna hate this.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw faint movement, the odd disfigured form of a crab like creature in a jar.
There we go.
He shoves the book in his jacket and cautiously grabs the jar and heads for the door but he freezes.
This sound of a cane and feet grew closer to the room, it took a moment but his breath hitched. He jumped to the side underneath a desk as Heisenberg walks into the scene amd whistles.
Pheeeewww... Someone's been busy~
Heisenberg walked around the chaos with a laugh, y/n shuffling quietly around the desk as he watched Heisenberg's feet get closer.
Heisenberg took some papers off a desk and faked a hum of interest, then he jumped down under the table... But it was empty.
Y/n who was now holding his pistol at a bookshelf while Heisenberg stood and twirled his hammer on the other side of the shelf.
Neither saw each other, but they could feel each other. The fear, the anticipation, the adrenaline but no sounds no one even breathed.
A bottle dropped to the floor, Heisenberg flicked his wrist and a saw like cutting tool pierced the wood.
Charging around the corner he saw nothing, just a saw in wood but down the hall he heard it. The metal door whined open then slammed shut.
You sly fox...
Outside y/n sprinted through the bush and branches when something swept his leg and he front flipped landing on his back.
You retreat so soon?
{Thoughts} Bitch.
No... As much as killing Heisenberg would benefit us all... Its not the right time.
Well then, when will be the time? hahahaha
When I say so.
So secretive Callahan, all dark secrets emerge sooner or later... As you know~
And what of your secrets? Village elder survives werewolves and vampires by what? Existing? Sheer faith? Or an alliance to Miranda?
Your scars run deep... Your trust is like a dream, true but fleeting and only shared to those you would kill for.... The sacrifice is coming, Mother Miranda waits for you... And when the time comes you will kneel just like the rest if us hahaha!
With that the hag wonders off into the fog, y/n gathers his materials and heads for Moreau clinic before Heisenberg finds him.
[ At the Clinic ]
Y/n wraps on the door once and Moreau pushes him inside in sheer panic.
What is going?!
The Hounds!
Hounds? They aren't any lycans out there it was clear the entire way back-
Exactly... The omens... Mother Miranda's horde has gone silent... The four eyed hounds of destruction are coooommmmingggg mmmmm!!
Moreau is closing in on a mental breakdown, Y/n went to the window and peeked outside. He looked around and he agreed with the hunchback that the silence was eerie.
It was then he saw what Moreau meant.
A four eyed spec ops soldier, ducks behind the barn as y/n leans out to peek.
Moreau how long would it take you to pack up and move to the castle?
Impossible! Why?-
Y/n holds his hand out to silence Moreau.
Pack up. Get to the Castle and tell Alcina-
No! Mother Miranda wouldn't let me die here.... and you. Do not. Order me around... I shall go to Miranda-
She doesn't love you!
Y/n pulled out the book and opened it up to Miranda observation of Moreau, it described him as unstable and lacking intelligence.
Moreau goes silent looking down.
Look, i know it hurts. But right now we have the pieces to revealing a new world and I believe you will be the groundbreaker who brought us to it... Im going to hold them off but I need you run... Get to the Castle... Don't waste this chance...
Moreau didn't respond. Y/n opened the door and slowly walked out, he shut the door behind him and he heard it. The sound of an AR cocking and loaded so Y/n turned to come face to face with 4 soldiers slowly walking towards him guns aimed at him.
Drop all weapons and get on the ground.
The right most soldier ordered, Y/n obliged by disarming but he remained standing.
He said on the ground asshole.
I'd rather not. I think we can all walk away from here... Separate paths you all go home, you all live happy quiet lives-
I said on the ground!
Look just walk away.
Last Chance Lieutenant.
.... Make me...
With that Lobo and Canine looked at each other and stepped up and flicked something on the underside of their rifle barrels.
Each rifle shot a pair of stingers that latched onto Y/n torso followed by the rippling hot pain of electricity coursing through flesh and organs.
Y/n however remained standing.
What the actual fuck? That was 128,000 volts between us!
Tundra do a pulse check, he might be stiff from the current.
Yes Alpha.
A woman approaches y/n and moves into check but she steps on a branch which results in his head snapping up at her.
His eyes were blood red, grey scale skin, and black veins running down his cheeks.
BIOWEAPON!
She manages to shout that out before Y/n palm struck her in the chest with that superhuman force. She flew back bouncing off Lobo.
: Shit! Weapons free, weapons free! You stay-
Canine, Umber eyes, and Night Howl open fire on Y/n. The bullets ripped into him but he refused, instead he threw the sledge over Night Howl head then rushed him as he ducked nailing him with a kick upside his head.
Night Howl flipped over on his back, Y/n takes Night Howl's gun and throws it at Canine. It knocks the AR from their hands and he delivers a heavy right to her stomach then uses?a back hand to toss her aside like a throw pillow.
Umber eyes pulls out a knife and ducks one of Y/n punches then slashes him across the back. On the second slash Umber eyes gets grabbed and shoulder tossed into the side of the house.

Marrow
Marrow was old... older than me or you. Older than the nation he lived in. And older than anyone he knew. Which is not surprising, because he did not know anyone else. He had been sitting, or perhaps leaning is the more apt expression, in a closet for many, many years, and had done nothing but stare. But eating, or rather chewing, a spider opened up another world to him. A world with a voice that was talking to him - to HIM! Marrow did not get what the voice was saying, but that was secondary at this point. And Marrow started to feel restless. Nuff said. If you like a sometimes quirky skeleton as the main character and want to ride along for its coming of age, or perhaps rather coming of sapience story... give it a shot. It is a litrpg context with skills, levels, heroes and monsters... and a skeleton. Not sure yet how fast the skeleton will level... we'll have to wait and see. As a disclaimer... this is my secondary novel... my main story is ongoing and most of my time is dedicated to that. As such, new chapters will, at first, be rather infrequent and irregular. If things go well, I may shift more attention to the story, but we shall see how things go.

When hell freezes over
An ancient seal has been broken and a forgotten power returns to the world gradually, upsetting the balance of normality. People used to say "I'll do that when hell freezes over" jokingly, but now that saying holds more weight in a changing world where people have to get used to the unusual. Ancient creatures hidden in the earth stir from their slumber of centuries, and humanity is not prepared for their ancient powers. Can the human race of steel and fire stand against the creatures created by the most ancient of powers? Is the human race pure enough to band together and form a closed fist as they did centuries ago? Find out in this adventure where Jacob starts off on his way on a normal day towards his job. "I get the feeling this story might be one of those 'diamonds in the rough'. The premise is quite solid, there's plenty of room to flesh out the characters. It's quite easy to get into and be engaged by at the moment, imo. I don't know where the story will go from here, but it's off to a good start me thinks." - Xenower Attribution: The cave picture in the book cover is made by Stanislav Sedov and is licensed under CC-BY-SA-2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/ This picture was modified from the original with an overlaid moon and sea picture to be found at https://www.flickr.com/photos/ssedov/26342569905 The photographer has no affiliation to Tschallacka nor can be held accountable for the use of this picture the way as it is here.
