Cero struggled with the perception and perspective shifts quite a bit. The unfamiliar situations caused him to instinctively seek or in this case produce similar surroundings in order to comfort him. However as he was under the influence of various chemical and drugs, he couldn't even properly process his own thoughts, leading to his current predicament. Deep in the center of a rather large cactus, the boy was compressed with several other seeds. If someone peered inside, Cero could appear to be just a large seed himself. The texture of the cactus held his conscious to the physical plane as best as it could. The boys body tingles from pricks, pain, and pleasure. Sensory overload was taking place within the darkness. Moans and cries also filled the air, well the moans of growing plants. From within his cacti cocoon the child managed to grow enough cacti to envelop a good portion of a field, and for some time the eternity he experienced was steady and calm. But all that could be changed, and it would by a simple flicking of a switch. The lights would go out entirely, no more stroabing, he couldn't see the light at this point. He would be effected by the prod of a sharpened spear that pierce the cactus and made contact with his body.

A torrential jolt washed over the boy, awakening his senses to something he hadn't felt, ever. Control slipped further out of reach and after a few moments of prolonged electrocution. The largest cactus, the one that he resided in rapidly expanded and then burst, exposing the boy to the world again. The trip he was on seemed to not be a good one, especially when encountering this shock. The child's mind rapidly grasped for whatever information it could to form images of unknown creatures and inhabitants, specter and monsters that could be afflicting him now. Noises would be flooded into the darkness, all of animals or things Cero had little to know knowledge of. Everything was overbearing, everything was attacking him.

Cero spotted the flashing of electricity before him, recognizing the light, the boys body tightened in fear but before he'd even realize it, Cero would instinctively lash out at the lightening. Sounds, sights, and feeling beat him down and effectively removed what little though went into his movements. Extending his arms cactus would grow and expand striking out towards whatever armed individual there was.

Cero heard enough of a sound to figure he'd hit his mark, and so he continue to come down on the lighting wielded with as much unbridled rage as he could muster.

"There is nothing that will sway me from by goals, no room can hold me!"

That thought resonated with his mind, he'd speak the line if it weren't for the gas surrounding the area. The bubble of air he held in his mouth got smaller and smaller with each swing of the giant mini gun now being re-purposed as a battering ram. Ideally, he needed to create a crack in the door's frame so that the gas, whatever it may be, most likely sleeping gas, would leak into the outer area. This would serve to give Jeremiah some oxygen and also knock out some loony Priests as well. he could hear the voices of panic as words similar to orders were just out of earshot. But he couldn't let himself he distracted now.

Suddenly, he felt the creak of the metal, as the priests tried to push it back into place. Anger arose from this mind and became apparent on his face; he wasn't looking to be gassed once again. He pushed the hulking metal mass into the indent he had now made in the door, not letting up the force applied to it. He could hear multiple individuals struggling from the opposing force being pushed against them. Finally, with one final push, one of the hinges would snap off the door frame, whizzing to the other end of the room. Gas began to creep out of the room as Jeremiah stepped back to the opposite end, taking gulps of air from the room now that the gas had settled. He dropped the hulking mass by his side. Now, he'd hear coughing and the thuds of bodies collapsing due to the intoxicating clouds. It wasn't long before the alarm went off, most likely to call their pet monster: the mecha he had the pleasure of meeting before.

he had to act quickly in order to escape. Descending on the door once again, he shot out his hand through the crack he'd made in the door frame, using his grappling hook hands to grab a hold of something he could use as a "key" for the door. His fingers glided along something metallic... swiftly grasping it, he pulled it back to reveal it was a rifle for some kind. Putting it to use in his grand plan, he wedged the stock into the door frame's newly made crack, pulling on the barrel end to braze the door open. Finally, the door submitted to the great genius, swinging open. Jeremiah would then be presented with an horizontal hallway, a multitude of bodies lad upon the floor, green hazy gas surrounded the area. Looking at one of the unconscious priests, he snagged one of their gas masks and put it on, along with a rifle.

Now he needed to find Cero and leave this island for good... maybe steal some new age tech along the way...

A dim light washed over the area, this light appeared to be something of a warning siren in the facility, However after only a few screams the alarm was silenced. However like most things currently, it's presence was enough to adjust the perspective of Cero. The darkness was painted red by the alarm lights. It felts as though his body was melting and reforming. Everything felt like a raisin under the burner sun, actually, more like butter in a pan. Cero didn't know where those thoughts came from, he hadn't eaten raisin or seen seen butter melt, at least he couldn't remember those things. Things were far to complicated from his young perspective to grasp. So the flashing lights, colors, and noises produced by his mind or augmented by the influence of drugs were all mental and emotional stresses. One second he was in a black hole attacking what looked like pure lightening, the next he was standing over the bloodied body of some monster or creature. Everything shook, or was being shaken. The boy nearly flopped to his knees in disarray. The slow, dim, red light that coated him and the darkness every so often felt like fire on his chilled body. This place was more than confusing, it was terrifying. There were large doors off in the distance that appeared to open ever so slightly, just enough for him to escape this area.

Cero dashed using all his strength and speed, he moved in a janky, inefficient manner. Much worse than earlier, it was almost as if each limb had an independent mind with independent motives, Cero had to almost drag and wrench them with violent gyrations of his hips and shoulders. The pain from this, his recent surgery, and were almost unbearable. HE felt as though his body was beaten raw by mallets, but his mind expressed that pain through visual and mental stress.

Making his way through and out the doorway, he'd find himself in a cemetery of what looked like an abandoned church. It was late at night, the frigid coldness of the island rattled the metallic, enhanced skeletal structure of the child. Blood seeped from numerous places on his body, seeing as his limbs and stomach were just recently reattached. Wearing only compression shorts on his body, the basically naked child felt disoriented adn alone, almost entirely forgetting what he'd done to make it to this point. But he felt anger in his confusion. There was a separate pathway that lead outside as well, one that Jerimiah had access to if he were fortunate enough to find it.

Sleeping bodies littered the corridors filled with a light green gas, as Jeremiah walked over them, his eyes scanned the floors for useful items and usefulness in general. The palm of his left hand pressed against the base of the gas mask, protecting his face from the intoxicating atmosphere. There wasn't as many bodies here as he'd hope they'd be; as much as he wouldn't like to admit it, he couldn't kill everyone in the damn underground complex, thus relied on this "knock everyone out with gas" strategy. But he miscalculated the amount of gas the room could produce as well as how many people were present at the time. Just from glancing around, he would roughly count a 10 to 12 headcount along the elongated hallway.

Observing this more, he'd notice that, aside from the bodies, there were multiple doors that painted the walls of the maze like path. Overhead, a multitude of pipes, most likely gas pipes, covered the ceiling. Perhaps if he needed to use more of the sleeping gas, he could shoot the pipes. Although he noted shortly after grabbing a gas mask, he realized how inefficient they are since it knocked out all of it's users. Most likely, it was designed as an afterthought and can only handle so much gas, thus the blast of fumes from the door breaking must've overloaded the mask's filter.

The next course of action would be to head from room to room, looking for Cero and guns, of course. Only problem for this plan was time. It was only a matter of when will he encounter the Gigantic mecha from before. Reluctant to admit it, but he was stumped. What if Cero was under more security and protection than Jeremiah was? Which seems likely since his capture appeared to be an afterthought. What if he's near the same location as the mecha? Would Jeremiah risk his life for a child? Even the concept was silly to him, but it was under debate within the confines of his mind, whether he'd decide soon or later or never at all, it wasn't important right now. He needed to focus on the present, Thus he proceeded down the hallway.

Standing under the bright full moon, Cero would stagger through a cemetery. Behind him was a large opening in a mausoleum, a passageway for the New age Priests to travel. They preferred to place themselves near houses of worship. Easy travel when targeting those faithful to the old guard of Cactus. Pushing past and climbing over a few visibly obstructive stones, the boy would find his gaze falling upon several priests. At first he wasnt sure what kind of priests they were, but after a few moments of gazing it was clear he was looking upon Old age priests. Their forms wafted under the moon, like individual storms of wind. Only a few feathers stood out to the child, their robes and Their eyes. Their faces looked like monsters if he'd ever seen them. Their configuration as cruel and malicious as the desert sun. Their tattered cloths, their display of death related object of reverence, that imagery only unchanged by the boys afflictions.. The sight of them and their robes was enough to send the boy into a frenzy. Cero was trained since he was captured to kill them on sight. His training often consisted of attacking dummies or targets that wore the same types of clothing and spoke the word of the dead. The bloody, muddy, prick covered child took a sharp breath. One sharp enough and deep enough to draw the attention of the priests as they calmly traversed the ground of those they worshipped. Four men in total ranging from average height to above average height all turned their eyes to Cero. His tri-colored eyes would look on them with unbridled intensity.

Don't be afraid my boy, we will not hurt-
Cero thrusted his left hand forward in the shape of a gun. He squeezed his palm tightly, however, no shot was fired. He had only managed to confuse the priest in this display. Cero was confused, and so he shook his hand and attempted to fire again and again, with the same rate of success.

Ho-ho-hum! Are you trying to shoot me? It's not my time little one, I have far too much to do,
Please why don't you just-
Cero continued and eventually he grunted hard, putting enough pressure on his hand to cause significant stress. He tightened his eyes and grit his teeth, then BANG! A shot rung through the air, a bullet striking the priest in the shoulder with enough force to knock him to the ground. Cero was confused and surprised, he didn't feel a bullet escape his body, but, he didn't seem to care much seeing as the priest was shot. It must have gone off without him feeling it. He just had to kill them. That was his programming, that was his objective. These monsters had to be wiped away.

Jeremiah performed a halfhearted jog down the corridor, mainly since he wanted to conserve energy for the inevitable conflict with the mecha machine. He wasn't even sure what it was capable of. For it's size, it couldn't have just been for grabbing subjects, gassing them and bagging 'em. No doubt that thing was either from the new world or built from imported parts. The likelihood of there being more than one was low. Looking at his recently acquired rifle backed up this theory; clearly noting it was a standard semi automatic rifle, similar to that of a flintlock.

Reaching the end of the hallway, a column of light peered through, similar o that of a spotlight. Jeremiah aligned his back to the wall, pacing slowly to the opening, his stolen gun at the ready. What he'd approach was akin to a plaza of sorts. Priests walked up and down, Jeremiah cowering in the shadows, unseen. The area was large, the ceiling reaching several stories high with a second floor along the left and right with a opening in the middle for a staircase. Windows to what seemed to be large holding chambers for different monstrosities lined the walls. Priests shared notes, observed... and tortured. Jeremiah would compare it to a house of horrors with someone getting a little carried away with the cosmetics. All the test subjects took different forms, most were blobs of multiple limbs and body parts, others were cyborgs, similar to Cero in likeness.

It wasn't long before the sirens reached this plaza-like room as well. The priests, who up until now were causally sharing ideas and exchanging papers were now retreating to different rooms and doors. Those who were armed stood in a alert stance, whilst the creatures looked visually confused, some even distressed by the noise. Jeremiah shrugged; guess he'd be letting loose now. With his gun at the ready, he charged into the light.

Cero would continue to squeeze his hand rapidly, simulating gunfire from his hand. After the first few squeezes he back to feel as though he was actually shooting the priests, he ended up squeezing his hand a few times before all of them laid on the ground. He could see the muzzle flash and hear the sounds clearly beside him. Those foul monsters actually looked fearful at this point! Cero crept over the last few tombstones and stood over his prey, looking into their eyes. His vision was shifting at this point, mixing with reality and illusion. However he still held to his teachings and rose his finger to the priests. They all wept, but none dared attack back. Perhapse the child was just to formidable, Cero could hardly form any thoughts. He attempted to reload his finger gun by inserting seeds, but the slot for that in his left had had been temporarily removed as well. He could hardly tell that however, and after "reloading" his gun the boy pointed his fingers at the priests.

"Little one...please...why don't you put your hand down, and step away from those men..."

Cero would actually hear this priest speak, but was perplexed, he hadn't been with any men. There wasnt a single soul beside him other than the bleeding priests now. Cero raised his finger and pointed it to the head of the priest who he had initially "shot". He squeezed his finger but again nothing came of it. In frustration he attempted to shoot again, but nothing. Tightening his left arm with as much as he could muster, the boy began to produce a few small cactus on his arm but no firepower.

You have a gift...don't let others control you in life, you wont leave anything worth mourning for. The priest smiled and extended a hand to Cero, the child hesitated, but took a step forward and raised his tight hand slightly.

Cero was again perplexed by what was said, and the complete lack of control he had over his arm and the situation. But before the child could even attempt to make contact with the priests verbally, he'd hear machine gun fire beside him. Bullets sprayed and sprayed. Chopping up the priests into chunks. Emerging from behind the young cyborg was a troop of New age Priests. All of which were equipped with some sort of cybernetic enhancement. Cero was shocked but a portion of him wasn't sure as to what was occurring. His perception of things were blurred beyond ineptitude from a lack of education, to a point of near psychotic confusion due to the overwhelming stimulation his mind received. Pushed behind the pack and into the arms of another, Cero watched as the troop decimated the Old Age priests, leaving little but bloody chunks for the crows and rats.

Jeremiah tactically planning a chaotic stir by firing three rounds from the random confiscated rifle. The rifle itself was lever action, so Jeremiah felt more akin to his own weapons of old age technology. Each shot was aimed towards the enclosure's scenic windows, the first shot to indent the glass, the second to increase the damage of the cracks and the last to finally shatter the pane. The trapped creature, with an overtowering size and muscular frame, noticed this, clearly seeing this as it's chance of freedom, began to smash away the remaining glass with it's hulking gorilla-like arms. The armed priests turned their attention to Jeremiah for a split second before shifting it to the bulky beast, who'd now be grabbing hold of random priest's, ripping them apart from the waist and holding their visceral corpses above to drink their fluids. Honestly, Jeremiah was hoping he could train some of these bigger monstrosities like he did Cero. He could definitely cause chaos then.

He moved forward, progressing the chaotic scene. Ideally, he'd sneak around the discount Godzilla while the questionably religious scientists fired all their rounds into the creature. Few began to retreat, whilst Jeremiah welcomed them with pointed rifle rounds into the back of the skull, all whilst holding a grim grin of malice. It would be a silly observation to say he was enjoying himself. He edged closer and closer to another hallway, trying to avoid the beast's carnage. But by the time Jeremiah was even remotely close to the opening, the creature turned it's attention to him. It stood firm, it's limbs and fangs soaked in blood, it's head resembled that of an arachnid, it's gaze seemed to pierce through him. It slowly began to move, in a cautious manner. Jeremiah gave out a huge sigh.

"Well... time to get busy, heheheheh."

Visually the sight and sounds of things began to overwhelm. Whether it were the drugs, the simple viewing of what happened, or maybe something innate to the gear of the New Age Priests. The boy was "triggered", by something and it left a pit in his stomach. The little mental dialogue that he heard didn't find any conflict in what was seen, but there were seeds of doubt being planted.

After the men had run out of clips in their magazines, they'd turn towards Cero. Their faces were distorted along with their figures. But Cero somehow felt no desire to flee from them. Pulled up by numerous hands, the men hugged Cero, held him tightly. The boy refused, the dugs harmed his system and made him fearful. The things felt, seen, and heard were only the beginning his senses felt. He tried to dig his feet into the ground, he tried to plant himself firmly. He actually was fighting against those he'd waited for for one. Even if he resisted in a insignificant way. Turning his eyes from the men, he would be pulled by their superior strength.

Good Job Cero! You helped us! Cactus will be better now! Let us help you!

The boys eyes opened as he felt warmth emitted from the cold cruel armor the men wore. IT was painted in blood, but there was a warmth from inside that he could sense was much greater than the spilled blood. Cero felt the kindness of touch that he longed for. Cero felt the love he'd been without. Regardless of the truthiness or realness of the love, Cero took the embrace on it's assumed merits. The showing of care seemed to completely wipe the memory of being disassembled, drugged, and electrocuted. Even what had occured now seemed insignificant to the collective hold on the child. Even if it were just for a second, Cero held a smile on is face, and felt no fear, no pain, no resentment; just love.

The creature widened it's birth, trying to assert dominance. It had piercing red eyes, akin to burning coals. It's arms over towered Jeremiah's view, similar to two mountains, the gap between them: the crevasse. It let out shrikes, unfamiliar to the genius, to the point of confusion between cries of pain or rage. He knew that this was no time to be over confident; in the face of such an overwhelmingly strong opponent, i'd have to whittle away at it's carapaces-like skin with the newly acquired rifle while keeping at a distance.

Wasn't long after the beast's initial battle cry, it began it's charge towards the cyborg, utilizing both arms to haul it's main mass forward, with the smaller hind legs acting as support. Since the genius could see that the beast would strike first, so he jumped back a few times. Predictably, the creature swung this fist upwards in the gap between it and it's target. Visually confused, it would spot it's target had sidestepped away, proceeding to let loose bullets into the grounded fist. Jeremiah giving a sadistic grin all the while. It gave out howls of pain, but didn't dis-sway from it's assault. Clenching it's gigantic fist, it performed a strong right hook. Jeremiah, attempting to dodge, stumbled over the floor backwards, falling on his rear, yet still successfully dodging the strike. The beast huffed and puffed from exhaustion, likely from such a mutated, experimental body probably being focused on strength over stamina.

Quickly, Jeremiah fired more rounds into the beast's center mass, more specifically, the side of the lower torso that was now exposed due to the previous swing. The creature happened to be particularly vein-y, perhaps pressure of constant stress for vigorous experiments? Whatever it was, Jeremiah could feel it's pain after its little taster moments ago, but felt zero sympathy for the beast; after all, this was just another stepping stone for him and his dream.

During the embrace, the boy would be injected with with something behind the ear. He would feel a slight sting, but he would react. He held onto the other men as long as he could, as long as his body could. Cero's body would become limp and fall the the bloodied ground below, his body laying as limo and meaningless as the dust that covered it. The soldiers would then turn their attention to other more pressing matters, they'd called back to HQ, gather valuables from the bodies and the church, leaving only one guard to tend to Cero. While on the ground the boy would swear he was still holding onto the men. In actuality his body was paralyzed and he was without any practical consciousness. For all intents and purposes he was stunned; deactivated. With little care he'd be housed from the ground, thrown over the kevlar coated shoulder of a New Age Priest.

Some unknown amount of time would pass yet again, and Cero would find himself walking. He handy remembered walking, and yet there he was, walking with the group of shoulders from before, the psychotic hallucinations had passed an snow he could see eveything much more clearly. He felt much more able bodies and secure than he had leaded up to this point. In the center of the troop of men, Cero would be guided along a long winding train, one that seemed to lead back to the facility. Upon the way they would happen to stroll across Jeremiah who had managed to kill a large creature of some sort. Cero immediately thought the man was getting him more food, he was without much understanding or care about Jerimiahs appearance, the man looked rather rugged to begin with. The troop and boy approached quickly, making a perfect B-line for the other cyborg.

"F-food!

The young cyborgs stated as he stared down Jerimiah and the creature.

Spouts of blood spewed from the many layers of veins of the tormented creature, it was clear to the Genius that it'd been thoroughly experimented on to optimize... some aspect of it. He could conclude it would die from blood loss after pounding Jeremiah into the dust, or he would finish the monstrosity off before it could make a killing blow. For a while throughout the fight, he had his gaze fixated upon a certain spot, an indent between it's horns atop its skull. Likely a weak point on his head, soft tissue. All he needed now was for the lummox to strike, miss, then the sharp shooter could score a hole in one, per say.

He aimed for the weak point, yet it was futile; his firing of the rifle was replaced with clicking and non-existent bullets; the gun was running on empty ammunition. As he was about to reach for the spare reserves when the beast's arm came flailing towards him. It came in from the left side, bashing Jeremiah into the nearest wall almost instantly. The force of the strike winded him as well as the surface of the wall bruised his back slightly. The creature tended to his wounds poorly; covering his hands over his bullet holes, his fatigue showing with his sluggish movements. Jeremiah shook his head, reattaining concentration. Brandishing his knife, he dashed towards the living mound of flesh. It tried to slam down a flat palm in order to squash the Genius, but to no avail; it seemed it's reaction time had been hindered and missed by a long shot. Using this to his advantage, he climbed his way up the planted arm, grabbing hold of any flesh he could use as a ledge to his goal, the head. Finally reaching the peak of monster mountain, he sunk his little blade into the tender marrow of the skull, the body suddenly falling limp in reaction.

He hopped off the newly made corpse of a beast, quite proud of what he'd accomplished. It seemed his victory alongside his peace and quiet had come to a short end with Cero charging out from nowhere. He made a beeline for the newly discovered, now dead monster, which Jeremiah could deduct this would technically be feeding the child entrails on a larger scale. Was this to be his life? Feeding an infant? What he did now would determine the future, the thought resonated in his mind. Curbing the thought for a second, he had realized he had acquired one of his objectives: obtain Cero. The next? Escape.

"Food- No! We need to get out of here, you dolt! Quick-"

It wasn't long before he realized that Cero had brought a company of soldiers and priests with him. Jeremiah knew that a child like Cero wouldn't have escaped from the clutches of a group that valued him so highly as an asset. Knowing what they did, or tried, to with the Genius, the likelihood that Cero's mind wasn't in the right place was probably very high... but had anything really changed then?

"Listen ere, bastards. You're going to let me and Cero go or i swear to god, no world government could keep me from slicing you guys open and playing jump rope with your intestines!"

Slicing us open? We have plans for both of you. The two of you have managed to help our cause tremendously. Without you we wouldn't have been able to discover the flaws in our programming and facilities. You are going to be escorted back, and rewarded for your efforts!
Good Boy Cero. Heel.


The soldiers spoke surprisingly happily of all that occurred. And their positivity only managed to infiltrate the boys mind further. With the final sentence spoken making the boy plop his body on the floor beside Jerimiah. Very much like a dog, the boy rested on his hind and forelimbs. Using his little frame to balance himself perfectly. The young cyborg would just stare blackly towards Jerimiah, with a smile that didn't seem quite right. Cero all at once seem disinterested with the idea of any meal, or even the presence of Jeremiah. Actually it was almost as though Jerimiah w asnt there at all. In his own mind the boy was no longer present. Everything that managed to lead to this moment seemed to be apart of some sort of reactivation, conditioning of a monstrous kind.

You'll come with us, we have-

Gunshot would full the air, along with airborne arrow and spear. Projectiles soared towards everyone, except Cero, and the shots came from all directions. It would be somewhat clear to Jeremiah that he wasn't the focus of these attacks, but he may have some close calls. While resting on his heels, Cero managed to hear or see nothing. He was in a tranquil place, experiencing nothing at all but the joy of love. Behind him the dozen or so men that followed him were shot, pierced, and plunged with projectile. Their bodies became bloody and they would all fall to a heap. Within just a few seconds, hundreds of shots were taken, with much of them hitting their mark.

"Boy! Here!"

Cero would rush to the men's side, his senses coming to once more. He would now consciously take in the pain and suffering of those around him. He'd see the men that risked their lives for him perishing before him. Falling to the ground, in a showing that didn't fit his profile, the child fell into the heap of men, embracing them. All the while the men stared towards the sky, one in particular at jerimiah, although none would say a word, except one.

Old Age Priests. Get 'am boy!
Seeming watching the man die, the last words spoken would stiffen up the body of Cero. His movements became rather hanky. His attitude cold once more. With that said the three eyes of the child radiated like three oil lamps in the darkness. He'd be directed to a target one that he both consciously and unconsciously desired. Charging into the endless darkness, the boy would be headed to a large compound of churches that loomed in the distance just a mile or so away.

The men that followed the boy spoke as if they were associates but Jeremiah couldn't feel any more different; they were they're enemies. They spoke rather vaguely to add, unsure of what he could deduct from the situation. In fact, this just confused him even more. Were they even the same group? Jeremiah doubted the likelihood of a third party.

"W-wait, what the fuck is going on here? escorted? We all the best of friends now?!"

He refused to remain calm; he just did not see the logic. Firstly, they used force, now it's here's the tour around the fucking wonderland. he would assume that the young lad has been used as a bait or bargaining chip for him to come along quietly.

Cero sat next to Jeremiah's side, clearly showing his loyalty to his true master. Good to see that hard work, feeding him crap, did the trick he thought. He looked back at Cero, who held a blank expression on his face like he'd seen death itself, yet he smiled awkwardly. Still well aware that Cero was the product of unruly experimentation, which is why he couldn't see the reasoning behind his little stunt. Not to mention that he was following orders, amply like a dog. Notably, the little terror wasn't feasting like he'd starved for many moons, rather looking disinterested. Jeremiah couldn't determine whether this was a changed Cero or what he was originally like... perhaps his entourage had thought him some manners rather than experimenting on them further.

Then, gunshots flied into the scene without a signal, following newly made corpses of the group conversing with them. Jeremiah readied himself as bullets flew past his esteemed self. he had to duck convulsively to avoid getting head shotted. He edged towards the pile of bodies that were the group previously accompanying the boy. Cero clutched to them, seemingly holding them dear. Perhaps the Genius' initial thought of a third party was true... One who stared at Jeremiah as life left him practically annoyed him; it gave the "you were wrong" impression. He would give words of comfort to the random individual but he believed it would be pointless since he'd be dead soon. One of them perked up, ordering Cero to pretty much sic the attackers. Like a loyal dog, he charged towards the objective, which seemed to be... churches? Jeremiah had forgotten that these scientists were meant to priest... Reluctantly, he tagged behind his ally. There was no way he'd lose the closest thing he had to a devote follower of his empire of one.

Cero would rush towards the churches in the distance. But as the pair ambled towards the churches, the New Age Priests would get up and leave. The group of men were indeed just using more tactics to pregame Cero for combat. They even managed to get the other cyborg to tag along. Before long the two would reach their destination, and by then the soldiers would be making their way back to bade. Given their armor, the men were rather covered up. With little in the way of recognition other than their eyes. The armor they wore was preset to spew blood and other fluids in order to imitate death. The shots fired were done so remotely and the shots taken were done with munitions much less dense than the special armor they wore. Sure, this was a rather convoluted method to brainwashing, but the boy Cero was so young, that drastic measures were perceived to be needed.

Cero only knew he had to seek revenge for those that cared for him. Even if he'd been pryed apart, gutted, manipulated, enhanced, and mutated a hundred times over, he would respond similarly given the state in which he was found. Family, even this family, was all that he had at this moment. And so even without the mind rape and conditioning, he wanted to protect what he perceived to be those that loved him. Eventually the boy would reach an old age church. Hed see candle light peering through pane glass windows. The initial church's height was around three stories, with a large scaffold to house various bells. The charge was a mixture of slate rock and wood, with cactuces growing all around it. A hymn of some kind was being performed, it was done in a low monotone fashion. Peering through the windows with his tri colored eyes, the boy would see a candlelight vigil of some kind taking place. He'd see the building, which was large enough to store a small soccer field, filled with priests and mourners being focused upon. There seemed to be some sort of ritual occurring, maybe even a ceremony of some worth, considering the many priests, and a handful that were dressed in more dominant attire, with wierd cactus like hats.

The boy would wait for Jeremiah before he did anything. But he wouldn't seem to do so for any other reason than tactical advantage. The boy acted cold, distance, uncaring even for his master.
