Mother Of All

Ain's Reason

AN: I advice for the readers to hear the song while reading. Thank you.

Riki's POV.....

I don't know how long i passed out. Every limbs of my body feels numb. Well, i did get electric shock right after i woke up from the sleeping gas. I was struggled to free myself from this.

Now, i'm inside some kind of transparent glass sphere with chains from the outside. I had no idea what's gonna happen to me. I squinted my eyes and ears-dropped them.

Ain: "Sophie, is the preparations ready yet?"

Sophie: "It's almost done"

The snake zodiac girl attached some wires to the sphere and connect its to a some sleeping capsule. He also put them to a bright blue b-daman in the corner. I knew just by seeing it. That's definitely Stella b-daman form.

"They must forced to take some of Stella's powers from Dracyan"

My partner, Dracyan also captive in a glass cylinder. There's no eyes at his visor, that means he hasn't wake up yet. I was hurt physically and mentally.

Then, my eyes focus on Ain's b-daman. Since i became the Saint, i'm more sensitive to negative energy. That b-daman covered by dark aura full of malice. But, it doesn't end there. I also feel the same energy came from the other dark zodiac b-damans. Even though just faintly.

The dark zodiac b-shots also effected but not much either. Ain was the opposite of them. He had very thick negative energy around him. Just like Roma Day when he was with Gillusion and Kamon when he was brain-washed.

I dug my head to think more clearly. I try to remember the legends from Shio Island. After some time, it struct me. I recall a old painting in the museum that i along with the other zodiac visited. A demon and a lying lamb. Haku told me the story behind it.

He said that long ago, a boy and a girl lived together in a village. Then, the girl was bedridden because of an incurable illness. So, the boy summon a demon by slaying a lamb for offerings. Sadly, it wasn't enough to satisfy the demon. 

So, the boy will do anything for the demon. In exchange, he must cured the girl. The demon agree and he made his desire. After that, the girl magically cured and lived happily with the boy. But, no one really knows about the demon's wish.

I tried to connect the legends to the current situation i'm in. The more i think the more it made sense. The zodiacs, the saint, and the demon everything was connected!

Ain: "Looks like you have woken up again?"*touching the sphere*

I just shut my mouth and not answer him. What if my theories are wrong? I want to say it but i might get another electric shock again. But if i'm not confirm it, they will be in danger. I took a deep breath and gather my courage.

Riki: "Ain, can i ask you something?"

Ain: "Oh, you finally calm down. Very well, ask away"

Riki: "You...you...are NOT the real goat zodiac, right?"*stuttered*
