TK, unconsciously, recalls the events from "Enigma," from Kari's betrayal to where he and Cherise are rescued form HOLY. yeah, it's a filler, but there's a chance someone might read this oen first before reading "Enigma."

Scryed: Children of the Advent
Prologue
 
By Robster80
 
Author's opening notes: Here is book two of what I call my Scryed fic. The first book, The Enigma Called Love, was the starting point. The reason why I divided this huge series into two separate ones is because it would seem that MM.org has a limit to how many chapters a story can have.
 
Disclaimer: I do NOT own any of the characters from Scryed, Digimon, Gundam Seed, InuYasha, or Final Fantasy 7! I write fanfics for fun, not profit.
 
 
It seems like yesterday I was on my way to see the girl I assumed was in love with me as I was with her. What happened that day and afterwards, though, feels like a dream induced from eating some sort of food just before going to bed. Before, I always thought I was a normal teenage boy on the verge of becoming a man. Now, I honestly don't know what's going on.
 
My name is Takeru Takaishi, though my friends call me TK. I lived with my mom, Nancy, since she and my dad called it quits on their marriage years ago. This also split me and my older brother up: dad got him when the divorce finalized. We lived together in the city on the island that used to be Yokohama, now part of the Lost Ground, Japan's first independent sector. My best friend, and love interest, also lived in the city; and so did the guy she picked over me.
 
I don't mean to sound bitter; I'm usually not one to hold a grudge. However, I had confided my worst fears in Kari (my ex-love interest). You see, I'm scared that my future wife and I will end up divorcing each other just like my folks did. One would say that being only six-years-old when my folks split up left me with some emotional scars and whatnot. I told Kari all of this, and she told me I shouldn't worry; she wouldn't betray me. And what happened the next day? I find her with another guy, and they're leaving a motel.
 
You can't imagine how I felt after that. It was like I was functioning without a heart at all. The tears wouldn't stop for anything, and I soon found myself thinking of only one solution: suicide. So one day, after my mom leaves for her job, I walk out of our apartment and exit the city into the wastes. It seemed like the perfect plan, since the wastes are full of Native Alters who used their powers just for kicks. There was sure to be one out there who didn't give a shit about taking lives.
 
Unfortunately, the one who found me wasn't like that at all. Kazuma the Treasoner talked tough, but he's got a heart of either gold or a marshmallow. Seriously, he's a powerfully stubborn alter-user for hire, but he lives with an eight-year-old girl who has him almost wrapped around her finger. He and his buddies found me passed out and half-starved, and brought me into their home. From then on, I lived with Kazuma, Kanami (the girl), Dearka and Koga, plus got to meet their friend/promoter Kimishima as well as Mimori and Miriallia, Kazuma and Dearka's girlfriends. When mom showed up one day, and saw that I was being taken care of, she told them about my girl problem and they vowed to keep me alive.
 
Don't get me wrong; they're all good friends. But I didn't believe I'd find a better love than Kari, so I still attempted to kill myself. One time the situation was perfect: Dearka was on “TK-Guard” duty while Kanami was at work and the others were busy. It was no sweat slipping a little something into Dearka's drink so he'd be in the bathroom for a good half hour. Once he was taking care of business, I took two knives and escaped from the house without raising suspicion. There was no one to stop me, and I slit both my wrists at once, not an easy task, but I pulled it off. I was sure it was the end of the pain.
 
But that was the day SHE first came into my life: Cherise Adjani, HOLY officer with the alter-power called Eternal Devotion. This is what ruined my suicide and kept me alive; Eternal Devotion was a healing alter. Needless to say, my friends were not happy with me when I was given a clean bill of health, but Cherise was somewhat in the same boat when we all found out she was Kari's cousin. Despite this, Cherise proved her trust when she had Kazuma use her as bait to lure away her teammates form finding out where we all lived.
 
In all honesty, I never expected Cherise to come back even after she learned why I wanted to kill myself. Once more, I was proven wrong. Cherise showed up for two days the following week, mainly to make sure I was still alive, and she kept coming back each week for the same amount of time. During these visits, the two of us became friends. I told Cherise about my fears, and why I refused to fall in love again; she respected my decision, and offered her friendship to me. Before she left us after her first visit, she gave me a card and told me to call her anytime I needed someone to talk to.
 
Suddenly, the visits stopped, mainly because Cherise's teammates, which included Kari and Davis and especially Cherise's crush Ryuhou, were getting nosy about what she was up to. She got word to us about it, and also about a forceful recruitment drive HOLY was having for the City Redevelopment Project. The latter we tried to fight back, and I watched someone give their life for me when the maniacal HOLY officer running the Program tried to shoot me.
 
That was when my alter-power first surfaced. It was like someone else in my head threw me into the backseat and took over my body. According to my friends, my right sleeve evaporated, a black glove appeared on my right hand and I was wielding a huge sword similar to the one Guts uses in Berserk. And on top of that, I defeated two HOLY officers, including the one who tried to shoot me. Despite this, my “other' took one look at Cherise and we both blacked out, but not before he called her “Aerith.”
 
Before I forget, prior to that day, I had been having strange dreams. Each dream has me at exactly the same spot: a cliff overlooking the ruins of a futuristic city and a large sword embedded in the ground near me. I meat at least three people in my dream: a girl in pink who apparently died from a katana stab, a man in red with a golden arm that spoke in Kazuma's voice, and a blonde man in black who almost looked like me. That one turned out to be my “other.”
 
After that day, though, HOLY decided to round up ALL the Native Alters to try and re-establish order. The gang and I organized a resistance, and though Ryuhou set a trap for us, my dreams warned me in time so that we set up a counter trap. Needless to say, Ryuhou was pissed; so much that he allowed his Alter, Zetsuei, to go all out. Even with my power backing up Dearka and Kazuma, we got our asses handed to us. Luckily, we managed to escape capture with help from a former HOLY officer, Cherise, and Koga, who turned out to be working for HOLY all this time.
 
The next day, I found myself worrying about Cherise; I didn't; sleep much and I wasn't hungry at breakfast. They guys were right when they told me I had allowed myself to fall in love with Cherise. They pushed me to talk to her, so I agreed as long as they left me alone afterwards. But when I called her, she was upset about something. She later came out to see me and she was in tears. She told me she had decided to leave HOLY to come live with me and the others, and that Ryuhou tried to force her to go out with him. That morning, Cherise had realized her feelings for Ryuhou were just a crush, and she was going to move on with her life.
 
However, before we could leave, Ryuhou and his team caught us. He had Zetsuei hold me down while he hit me again and again. Cherise and I were taken back to HOLY's base where I was tried kangaroo-court style and sentenced to death. That was when I first met the new and current commander of HOLY: Kyoji Mujo. When he and I looked into each other's eyes, we saw our other selves. Apparently, Mujo is the reincarnation of my other's sworn enemy. My first instinct upon realizing this was to fight him and settle the score for good, despite being held at bay by some of HOLY's soldiers. However, when I was rescued by my friends, I was quickly knocked out by Koga, who only told me “you're not ready to face him.”
 
I honestly don't know what's going on anymore. The more answers I seem to find, the more questions that seem to follow. What happened between my and Mujo's others? Who are the other people in my dreams? Also, why did Cherise appear in one of my dreams?
 
Ever since I first met Mujo, I'm suddenly aware of my power. However, I'm also now aware of something else mixed within it.
 
And it scares me…
