So sorry for this long wait, but it was unavoidable. I hope I haven't lost anyone. This scene is kinda short, but at least it's a bit revealing.

Scene 16 ------------------------------------------- The Laboratory Building

* Shura leads Mukakai down the long, wide main hall. As they turn into a more narrow side hall the boy glances at the general over his shoulder.


Shura- The only way to get into this room is to be with me.. You'll do well to remember that, General.


* When they come to the thick steel door at the end of this hall, Mukakai quietly watches Shura touch a panel beside the door. Several scanning beams shoot out to probe the shorter demon's body making him giggle. Mukakai rolls his eyes quietly, unnoticed. When the beams stop scanning the large door slides open. Shura shuffles in, leading Mukakai, and the door immediately slides shut behind them. Shura waves his hand over a sensor in one of the counters and all the lights come on in the large room. Mukakai immediately spots the focal point of the room: A large, rounded glass chamber full of a greenish ooze. A young boy is floating inside with numerous wires connected to his naked body. His face is partially hidden by the oxygen mask covering his mouth and nose, but the general doesn't have to think twice about who he resembles.


Mukakai- What.. in this.. world..?


* Shura looks up at the general.


Shura- Now, don't be rude, General..


* Mukakai looks down at Shura and watches him move forward to touch the glass. When he does the small boy's eyes open slightly. Mukakai still doesn't speak as he watches the red eyes narrow even more at Shura's next words.


Shura- General, meet my son.. Born in this very same room as I was.

Mukakai- Your.. son..?

Shura- I found the book my Father used to create me.. So I decided to continues the family tradition.


* Mukakai lifts his eyes to study the small boy again, taking mental notes of his size, prominently upraised jet-black hair, and those red eyes. Shura suddenly turns to look up at Mukakai and finds him studying the child.


Shura- What? Don't you see the resemblence, General?


* Mukakai slowly nods.


Mukakai- Oh yes, M'Lord.. There's no doubt at all..


* Shura hurries away, waving for the general to follow him over to a table. He indicates the logbook laying on it.


Shura- When I showed Kandero that book he became my boy's main engineer.. He's almost complete..

Mukakai- Al-almost?

Shura- Yes.. There's only one more demon's blood to be added to his system.

Mukakai- And this demon would be..?

Shura- Yes! The Mazoku.. I thought for sure that brat Prince would have drawn him here by now. But since he's probably wandering around out there lost somewhere Kandero developed another way to get the amount of blood needed from him..


* Shura turns to look back up at Mukakai.


Shura- Anyhow, my son is ready to be released from the embryonic chamber.. But now that Kandero has disappeared I'm going to need another geneticist for when that sample returns..


* Mukakai looks back toward the chamber.


Shura- I'm going to assign you to go find me one.


* Mukakai looks back down at Shura surprised.


Mukakai- What?

Shura- Weren't you paying attention? I want you to go find me the best Geneticist you can find!

* The boy swishes his hands at the general in a shooing manner.


Shura- Go on now.. Go find one for me.


* Mukakai nods in a half stupor a moment, then gathers himself, salutes, and leaves glancing once more toward the ooze-filled chamber. Shura moves back to lean against it as if trying to hug the boy inside. The red eyes shift from watching the general leave to looking back down at Shura as he speaks.


Shura- Ahh, my son.. When you are born this world will never be the same.. It will soon be all ours.


* Shura chuckles. The beady red eyes follow him coldly as he skips back out of the room happily.
