Chapter 15. Sealed Within The Void, Ashigo's Past.

Day 4- Ashigo finally recovered after five long hours. Maxamillian told Ashigo of Becka's request. Ashigo started off towards the mountain of the ogre, Allen McFrodo.
"Come into the back room." commanded Becka to the other members.
They followed her into the backroom and they all took a seat. "As you all know, i am the weapon sage, given the knowledge of all artillery by Echarina, Guardian of Artillery."
Everyone nodded. "Well, how do i put this, Ashigo is a weapon." sighed Becka." What i mean is that he..he is a failed experiment."
"What do you mean?" questioned Tony.
"Okay I'll tell you." started Becka. " When Ashigo was born his mother felt it best for him to be raised among humans, and she sent him down to Imperia. A family found him and took care of him, but three months later they noticed dark energy emitting from him, rather than continuously caring for him they threw him into the streets. Scientists found him, and quickly noticed the energy around him. They brought him to a research lab. Being happy that they had finally found a specimen that was no more than five months of age. They put him in a capsule and performed numerous experiments on him. They labelled him as Project A.S.H.I.G.O. They were excited that a child could use weaopons freely and fuse easily with armor, that was until..something went wrong."
"What!What happened!" yelled Maximillian.
"Project A.S.H.I.G.O started to develop its own thinking process and eventually started to evolve more. He turned into an armored creature with massive artillery infused within him. He killed all the scientists that perfomed painful experiments on him. Project A.S.H.I.G.O was out of control, he used a dangerous technique and wiped out everything in the lab, all but one boy, right, Teslim." explained Becka. "I don't know the rest of the details but maybe Teslim can tell us."
Teslim sighed. emo "I hid in a nearby room and The Weapon Guardian Echirina appeared and she told me, ' Use this knife, when my son Ashigo comes at you, stab it within his skull. It won't harm him instead he'll forget everything and will think that you and him are childhood friends who enjoy travelling.' I then asked her what would happen if I don't manage to do as you said. And she replied ' Then Imperia will suffer at the hands of my son, I wish no harm to Imperia but Chronos the weilder of time will not allow me to withdraw Ashigo, and as his mother i must have faith that he will come to his senses.' As Echarina had predicted, i managed to reset Ashigo's memory. At first I thought he was still dangerous but later i realized that he is a simple minded idiot with a dream to fight."
The rest looked at Teslim surprised. "You mean Ashigo is the son of the Guardian of Artillery!!!" yelled Tony in astonishment.
"Then won't that mean Ashigo could easily defeat any enemy we encounter." exclaimed Maxamillian.
"Wrong." stated Becka and Teslim.
"Ashigo's ability to command any weapon was sealed away when i restarted his mind. Sometimes he demonstrates extraordinary feats, but he has yet to revert to his old self or show any of those demonic emotions." stated Teslim.
"Anyways, it's time for you people's training but before we start i need you guys to promise me one thing." asked Becka.
"What?" the rest answered.
"If my friend Ashigo fully reverts to his Dark Matter Form, that you will stop him at all costs." commanded Becka. "Even if it means ending his life to do so."
With a solemn expression on their faces they nodded in agreement.
At the Road to the Allen McFrodo
"I wonder how strong this ogre is?" Ashigo asked himself." Maybe I'll even learn how to control the Elementer."
Ashigo smiled and continued onward.
