Lasta Coop The Conspiracy Arc Part Three

 Rival's Origin

They soon arrived at the next planet. He looked at Lasta as she woke from her sleep. He gave her a stern look. By the look on his face she could tell that he was about to hit her. He walked up to her and she flinched as he placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. She looked at him with fear in her eyes.

"I think that it's about time you were shown something. After all, I am pretty certain that a copy of that file must be here." He said.

He carried a strange look on his face. He, for the first time,  seemed vulnerable. However she knew that it was a dangerous vulnerability. The type one had when they were about to snap. She knew that she did not want to be anywhere near him when he did. Yet she bit her lip knowing that she would not have a choice in the matter. Even worse, she knew that he would probably take it out on her and there would be nothing anyone would do to stop it.

The door opened and they walked out. Though she was terrified she had to go on,  her bracelet made her. She had no choice but to follow. She wanted to be anywhere else than here. She wanted to be home with her parents and brother. She wanted to lie by the fire and go to sleep. She wanted all of this to be some kind of nightmare and wake up in her own bed and high her parents and brother. She found herself torturing herself with her longing for home.

They soon came to the back door of some base where there were two guards posted. Otb looked at Salynara. She smiled and nodded. She looked at the guards and raised her hand and they fell. Lasta looked at them already knowing that they were dead. She knew that she did not have to check. She looked away not even wanting to look at them. Then the doors opened.

"Could you not have done that in the first place?"

"I could,  but I do think that the exercise is good for the girl."

"Yeah,  and so's a home. And since when did you care what was good for me?"

"Well I would hardly want someone like you to hold us back now do we?"

"No! We don't!"

She rolled her eyes. She should have not opened her mouth.

"Whatever. Can we get this over with?"

She one that she would have to keep her mouth shut or she would be subject to more humiliation.

"Otb, you did want to show me something, didn't you?"

He smirked and nodded.

"I did and there's not a moment to lose." He said as he pulled her close. "But don't think that gets you off the hook."

She gulped at it was all too clear that he knew exactly what she was doing. This also meant that regardless of what she did, he was going to give her the humiliation regardless. She flinched as he put an arm around her. He smirked, noticing this. He then walked her down the corridor and down a flight of stairs.

"Wouldn't it be easier to take the lift?"

"It would, but note, never take the lift."

"Why?"

"Because, it's the easiest way to kill someone."

"Good to know! Thank you."

He smirked. She took a glance at Salynara who was looking at the two with a creepy smirk. Almost as if certain things like this were going according to  her plan. Maybe that's the point of this? She wanted her to know the truth to make them act like this. Yet for some reason that did not make sense. No she wanted to hurt her as much as she could and she just could not see how this would do that. It was more like she wanted him to hurt her so much that the end would be her only hope.

They soon walked into a red room with a black carpet and ceiling that was filled with finding cabinets. There was a man that was about to get out a file. Otb ran to him and covered his mouth before slitting his throat. Lasta looked away as she did not want to look at another dead body. Otb picked up the file and read it. He closed his eyes as it confirmed something. He then handed it to her.

"Read."

Knowing that she should do as she was told she started to read the first page.

Project OTB

Order Terminate Blood

The hybrid is growing well. There seems that there

is nothing wrong with him, nor does he show any

signs of negative consequences of his birth.

We have decided to trek the hybrid a story about

his birth so that he does not ask about or question 

it. We have also come to the conclusion that he

should grow up on his own with the Tricenta. This

way our weapon will be already there. However he

should be terminated if he should betray the Kelito

or fail or rebel.

She looked up with a frown.

"Did they try to-"

"Once or twice. Now read on."

She nodded as she turned the page. She let out a sigh as she felt cold and shivered slightly.

Otb, a half Tricenta and a half Kelito hybrid that

seems to be a gift of the Kelito to us. We needed

something like him, after all we have been in need

of a monster from the Kelito. The war was getting

too close to peace and we feats that it would come

to an end. However after the one known as Lasta

Coop exposed the plot the Kelito was trying to carry

out with Otb, it was exactly what we needed.

Now the flames of war will never be put out. All we

need to do now it use Otb correctly and we will be

able to obtain the power we need to become the only

force on this planet.

If he gets too out of hand we can get that Lasta Coop

to kill and replace him.

At this Lasta's face dropped as she dropped the file. She looked up at Otb, feeling ill. She felt child ruin form her spine. She just could not believe what she had just read. She felt ice cold and used. She looked up at him as she bit her lip. The Tricenta wanted her to kill him? Even worse, they wanted her to be his replacement in the war. Yet all of this was al! for the sake of not only taking over the Tricenta but also being the only force on their planet!

"I…Are…Any more?"

He smirked.

"Glad you asked."he said as he pulled out a knife. "See I heard another rumour!"

Lasta stepped back afraid that he was going to stab her. Then he put it to the back of his neck beneath the skull and slit. She was about to stop him from hurting himself further but then he pulled out a small black ball and gave it to her. It tingled the palm of her hand. She suppressed her disgust at the blood on it. She frowned as she looked at it closely.

Then she heard Otb let out a sigh of relief. Then she heard a quiet beeping coming from it.

"You'll never guess what this is and what it is for!"

Her eyes widened as she realised that this device was probably used to manipulate him in some way, or track him down.

"Yes."

She stopped it as she did not want it to remain longer on her hand. She wiped the blood off her hands with the clothes of the dead man.

He had that thing in him the entire time! Why? Just why? How messed up are these people!?

He chuckled as he picked it up and put it in his pocket.

"They put it in me when I was born. The beeping was to ensure my madness."

She nodded seeing that there were no signs of lying in his eyes. She then looked at the other files and looked at them. She then looked at the water in the room and the napkin and used them to clean the wound and Salynara healed it. She then looked all around and placed all of the unimportant files on top of the dead alien. She then found more files and gave it to him. She then found all the files relating to both her and Otb and gave them to him.

"Miss Salynara, please may you light them on fire?" She asked as politely as she could.

She smiled and nodded. She set a flame alight.

"What are you doing?"

"Have you put those files away?"

"Yes."

"Then let's get out of here. Do you have a way to release them to the public?"

"Why?"

"I'll tell you later. Once we're safe."

Soon they were running out of the base and rushed into the spaceship and left before the building exploded!
