Ming Lai
Legacy Name: Ming Lai

Ming was in total darkness, he couldn't even see his moist noise in front of his face. He tried to lift his head, but he was unable to move. He tried moving every muscle in his body, but not one limb, nor toe would move or even wiggle. Paniced, his heart started racing, and his eyes began to dart back and forth looking in to the almost endless dark for even the faintest glimmer of relief. From the darkness he hears a cynical cackle, "Yes, squirm in fear for me more, play toy." The sound of the unknown voice made Ming's heart skip a beat and then it resumed its frantic pace. He heard foot steps circling around his paralyzed body. With every clack of the mysterious creature's claws hitting the cold ground, they became louder and louder as the circle began to tighten around him until all went silent. "Tsk. Not as fun as I would hope..Maybe this will make things a bit more interesting." the voice said as Ming's body felt warm again. Ming wiggled his toes and jumped to his feet teeth bared. "Ahh, much more interesting indeed." the voice came from the far corner. Ming was furious at this point, and he leaped in the direction of the voice. Instead of catching the being by it's throat he rammed right into a solid rock wall. "Careful, I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself before I had the chance to play with you." Ming felt himself be bit on the back of the neck and was then tossed to the opposite side of the room. He caught his fall and snarled, his fire coat now gaining its former glory. His coat gave a tremendous about of light, yet it could not pierce the darkness. "What is going on? Where am I? Where is my family?" Ming growled. "You ask too many questions, but the only thing you need to know is that you are home, and I am your new family." the voice cackled. From the corner of his eye, Ming saw the gleam of a tooth catching the light of his flares. Before, he could react and pounce, The darkness was lifted, and he was blinded by the sudden light.

A Dillema, the one from before, restrained him in his huge muscular arms. For the first time he saw his torturer. He was a Keeto, but his fur was the blackest kind of black. Evil dripped from his very coat, and his eyes could pierce you in the heart and eat it whole. He just stood in the corner, with a smug little grin on his face. The Dillema strapped him to a cold table and reached across a table full of bottles and beakers and picked up a bottle full of purple and black goo. "Now, now, how rude of me! I forgot to introduce myself. I am Kearon, but you can call me master for now own." He giggled a dark laugh and stared into Ming's very being with his dark, cold eyes. "Now, let's have some fun, shall we?" He said taking the vial as the Dillema forced Ming's jaws open. Kearon swirled the mixture as if it was a elegant glass of wine and began to pour it down Ming's throat. He tried not to swallow, but it was no use, the liquid began to pour into his throat and down into his stomach. As the last drop hit his tongue, Ming began to thrash and rock the table as he screamed in pain. His once firey coat began to dull and dark to a deep black, and black orbs began to come off his body and hover around him. He laid silent for a long while, his body could not move, not out of magic like what Kearon did, but out of ache and pain. Kearon gave Ming a pleased grin and said, "Welcome to the dark side."

Ming found himself on a monitoring table hooked up to unknown machines that had blinking lights. His body still ached from the violent reaction he had to that evil elixir he was given, but he was able to move a bit more than before. He slowly began to rip the tubes and needs out of him and shook out his fur. Then he noticed a black orb float in front of his face and back around him. He looked around but did not see a DarkMatter creature, so he just shrugged it off and walked out of the monitoring room. As soon as his paw hit the other sit of the doorway, a shrieking alarm went off. He jumped and then darted down the the maze of a building. He could the hear the many foot steps of Kearon's 'creations' heading his way, so he ran and hid behind a corner. After they had passed he slinked down the hall way where he saw a light, thinking it was light from the outside, he ran to it.

When he got to it, there were the same three DarkMatter creatures that were in his territory, and from the far corner, Kearon began to walk toward the three. He looked back when he saw something that caught his eye. On the wall hung a Harvester scythe glowing with DarkMatter. Ming snatched it up in his jaws and positioned himself to attack. All four of his targets didn't seem to notice his presence, so he charged in and with a swing of the scythe, he hacked off the head of the Cadogre, who began to spew black goo and slump to the ground with a thud. He smirked and charged at the DarkMatter Endeavor, but it dodged and threw him tot he ground causing him to lose his grip on his new weapon. The Endeavor laughed and raised his claw to strike the final blow, but Ming Lai rolled and dodge it and grabbed up his scythe in time to strike the monster at the top of the spine with it. He slowly began to drag the scythe down the spine of the creature, opening him up like a letter. It screamed in pain as the black substance splashed onto Ming's face. As the fiend died, Kearon giggled and gave Ming a crooked smile. "Ah, so this the true you. I knew you would fit right in." He said pointing to a full mirror on the other side of the room. "Fit in?" Ming questioned as he turned to see someone he did not recognize, himself! His fur was black with purple spot and tiny black orbs floated about him. He froze, "There is no way this is me! Magic! This all magic!" he screamed at Kearon. "Ah, tis a bit of magic, but this is the true you, the better you." Kearon spoke as he put a paw around Kearon. DarkMatter guards began to fill the doorway and waited for the order to pull Ming away. Ming pulled himself away from Kearon and growled, "You did this to me you witch doctor!" he growled more and more pinning Kearon to the ground. He simply smirked and pushed Ming off of him. "Turn me back!" Ming cried breaking the mirror that held his altered appearance. "Ah, but that is no simple feat, besides, I want to have a little fun first." He grinned. With a wave of his paw the guards left the door way. "Leave this place and find your family. Down the hallway and to the left is the exit" He point to the doorway. Ming didn't know what he was planning, but he did want to go see his family and make sure they were all right, so he slowly walked toward the doorway keeping an eye on Kearon and his tricks. As soon as he got out of that room he ran full out toward the exit. Finally, he could see his family!
