Chapter 36 Next Step Part 2
(***Yoko POV***)
"What do you know about that!?" yelled Genya
"I know exactly what happened back then. You teamed up with Sypha and Trevor to kill Dracula. He was mad with grief but he stopped attacking you to grieve his wife and let you stake him. You couldn't kill him but he let you guys kill him." said Yoko
This shocked Genya who hadn't actually expected her to know the truth of what occurred during the battle with Dracula. "You don't understand anything I had to save the humans!"
"Shall I tell you a secret you weren't aware of?" asked Yoko
"Whatever secret you have is of no interest to me." said the angry Genya
"After you killed Dracula he was resurrected along with Lisa Tepes." said Yoko with a smirk
"What there's no way that's true!?" yelled the shocked Genya
"It's true after you guys destroyed Rebis that held their soul from hell they were resurrected in a field near Braila." said Yoko
"No you're lying if that were true they would have sought me out!" yelled the distraught Genya
Yoko looked at the unstable Genya as she asked "I can understand why you believe that your mother would seek you out but why do you think the same of Dracula?"
Genya was shaken by the question that he couldn't answer and stood there in silence.
"But to answer your question as to why they never came to find you is because they were killed." said Yoko
"What!" yelled Genya
"Dracula has a role to play in this world and his happiness can not be allowed. So they died 2 years after their resurrection." said Yoko
Genya began to release his dark aura and the pressure in the room increased beyond what a human could handle. Yoko looked fine so he asked "You're not human. What are you?"
"I'm just a regular senior high school teacher." said Yoko calmly smiling
"You're a danger to humans since you're not one." said Genya looking like he could attack at any moment
"Well, you're not human either. Are you a danger to humans too?" asked Yoko
"No, I protect them!" yelled Genya
"You're pretty prejudiced for a dhampir." said Yoko
"Creatures of the night are evil." said Genya
"So you're evil too?" asked Yoko
Genya couldn't answer the question. He believed that creatures of the night were evil but he had denied that he himself was one in an effect denying half of what he was. "So are you saying that creatures of the night are good?" asked Genya
"I don't think they're good or evil. I believe that they are like humans capable of both good and evil." answered Yoko
"They kill humans!" yelled Genya
"Humans tend to do a better job of killing our own than them don't you think? They were created to drink human blood so it's expected that they would attack humans and humans would defend themselves. This is an interesting design don't you think it's almost like someone want humans and vampire to fight." said Yoko
"What do you mean by that?" asked Genya
"You follow the teaching of the Belmont clan to exterminate any creature that causes harm to humans correct? My question is who gave them that command?" asked Yoko
"It's obviously God's work to protect his greatest creation humanity." said Genya
"Then who created the vampire species?" asked Yoko
"The devil." answered Genya
"What if I told you that God was responsible for the creation of vampires." said Yoko
"What! You lie!" yelled Genya
"Think about it. You're proof that vampires are able to give birth meaning they're alive and only God can create life." said Yoko
Genya was shocked by the prospect of the idea that vampires were creatures created by God. This meant he had been killing mortal creatures rather than killing monsters. He had denied his vampiric side for so long but had he been killing his people for hundreds of years without understanding them.
"One thing I don't understand about you is simply why don't you help vampires live in peace with humans rather than killing them?" asked Yoko
"How can predator and prey live in harmony?" asked Genya
"This is the year 2035 so blood can be drawn and stored unlike in the past. Vampires don't naturally wish to conquer so long as their needs are fulfilled." said Yoko
"So you're saying that I should create a place where vampires and humans can live in peace?" asked Genya
"Yes that's the price that my friend and I will demand riding this world of the malevolent entity that uses Dracula to terrorize it." said Yoko
"Will they trust me since I've spent so long killing vampires?" asked Genya
"Well, that's not my problem. You need to do this as your penance for the vampire lives already taken." said Yoko
"If you can really stop this cycle of terror then I shall put my all into ending this feud between humans and vampires that I'm partially responsible for." Said Genya
"That's good then it's a deal I have to meet my friend I'll be leaving now. Don't follow me." Said Yoko as she turned invisible and raced out of the room before Genya could react.
(***Zero POV***)
As Zero was waiting for Yoko to return he received a notification.
SYSTEM REBOOTING
REBOOT COMPLETE
NEW FUNCTION TEMPORAL SENOR ADDED
THE SYSTEM WILL INFORM THE HOST OF ANY TEMPORAL QUAKES CAUSED BY CHANGES IN THE TIMELINE
As he finished reading the notification Yoko rushed into the room.
"Is he following you?" asked Zero
Yoko nodded and Zero created a portal for his chaos dimension and walked through with Yoko. Seconds after they disappeared Genya raced into the room.
"So how did the talks go?" asked Zero
"I gave Soma the confidence to stay himself, not lose to the dark power, and it's temptations like you said I should." said Yoko
"Good I need Soma to resist the power until the end for my carefully crafted plan to work." said Zero
"I'm sure he won't give up based on the smile he shows he'll definitely fight to stay himself." said Yoko
"What about Genya?" asked Zero
"He was being manipulated as you said. I seem to have broken through but we'll just have to wait and see." said Yoko
"Okay then let's move on to the next step. First I need some souls from this place and we'll have to split up and collect them fast. This is the list." said Zero as he pulled out a list out of nowhere.
