Chapter 126: The Enigmus Project
Narrator: Udana comes to the heroes to say that “we are ready” for them. It’s time to find out what she means.
Udana: I’m here because we are ready for your help. It’s time to prepare to stop the Dark Goddess.
Zeth: (Still somewhat distrustful) You still have yet to say what it is we would be doing.
*Udana snaps her fingers*
*A person instantly appears beside her. He has red hair that is long enough to cover the top half of his face and head on all sides. He is wearing a black jumpsuit*
Udana: Let me show you, but only the five of you that were together a year ago.
*She snaps her fingers again*
*Udana, Zeth, Sasha, Emily, Joe, Kurt, and the red-haired new person disappear*
Keith: Hey! Wait!
RAG: Where did she send them!?
***
*They appear in a factory-looking room*
Zeth: Where are we?
Udana: We are in my master’s factory that was built away from where a lot of people live.
*Kurt looks out a window and he sees nothing but trees, rocks, grass, and a river*
Kurt: Well, she’s right.
Zeth: So then tell us why you brought us here.
Udana: Look around you.
*They see many operating tables with people on them*
Zeth: What is this?
Udana: Our Enigmus Project.
Zeth: Enigmus? What the hell is that!?
Joe: I think Keith may have mentioned it at some point over these past 4 months but we kind of just brushed over it.
Udana: Oh? So you have at least heard of Enigmus before?
*She walks over to a table*
Udana: This is what we want you for. For all of you to BECOME an Enigmus.
Zeth: What!?
Udana: Especially you Zeth, your power continues to rise fast. Think of the power you could have.
Zeth: I will have you know that I’m a divine being.
Udana: Even better. You are still compatible with internal enhancements.
Emily: Internal enhancements…? That book! You were the one who was reading those books I found in the Mansion of Horrors!

Udana: And if you read them, you should understand how good being an Enigmus would be. We can fight the Dark Goddess.
*The heroes are starting to become more hostile*
Zeth: Who are these people that you are operating on!!?
Udana: They are all people who are from the Hawk Clan.
Zeth: The Hawk Clan!?
Udana: Yes, and you should thank us, Zeth. With them becoming Enigmuses, they won’t be bothering the Eagle Clan anymore.
Zeth: That’s bullshit!! If anything, now they will have more power to destroy the Eagle clan!
Udana: I assure you that they will be too busy serving Master Kogen.
Zeth: Serving!? That sounds more like mind control! You can forget this!
*Udana quickly draws her sword and it is now pointed at Zeth’s throat*
Udana: This isn’t optional. Now that you know what we are doing, you either follow us or die.
*She snaps her fingers*
*Three other people show up*
Narrator: Kogen’s Underling – Goro. (Goro is 7 feet tall and is quite bulky. He has brown short, spiky hair. He wears a gray button-up shirt which is not buttoned up. He wears tan-colored pants. He was first introduced in Chapter 5.)
Narrator: Kogen’s Top Scientist – Gido. (Gido is a 4-foot-tall man with a creepy smile. He has messy black hair and he wears a white lab coat.)
Narrator: Kogen’s Hit Man – Gen. (Gen is a 6-foot-tall man who has the look on his face like he is always thinking. He has long black hair that goes down to his upper back and a small part of his hair is tied back. He wears a black robe.)
Udana: What will it be? You have no hope to defeat the five of us.
***
Narrator: Meanwhile in a building in Heaven.
*Harmona watches as Zeth and his friends are in a difficult position*
Harmona: (Talking to herself) This is what happened to the people in Hashon. As I thought, this is bad. And worse is that these five are stronger than Zeth and his friends.
*Harmona leaves the room and encounters Zaydra in the hallway*
Harmona: Zaydra, this is an emergency!
Zaydra: What is it? I was just getting ready to join back up with our Poleon investigation task force.
Harmona: Zeth has found himself involved with a group of individuals with bad intentions!
Zaydra: What!?
Harmona: He is in a factory that is somewhere in an area that is not very populated. I’m not sure which though. Get down there to Harmone and check them all!
Zaydra: I’m on it!
Narrator: The heroes have found themselves in a terrible situation. How will they get out of it? Or will this be the end of the road for them?
