Luca

Luca is one of the Agents in FLAME vs BLAZE.

Empty Dumpty
Part 1
 * I woke withing white walls beneath a white ceiling, and a white light filled my vision. Beside me, I saw the face of a man I didn't know looking back at me.


 * "Where am I...? Who am I?" I mumbled as I sat up and looked around, "And why am I here?"


 * The silver-haired man beside me answered, "Your name is Luca." According to him, I had lost my memory, and he was my employer. My job: selling demons.


 * He told me that there were people in the world who wanted a demon--or rather, their power--and they could have one simply by sewing the proper shadow onto their feet. He said that having a demon could even give someone who had lost strength in their legs the power to walk again.


 * My eyes widened in wonder at all the possibilities. However, he continued, every rose had its thrones. Though the demon granted its host powers, it would eventually overtake their body, and the two would switch places.

Part 2
 * A human turning into a shadow, and a shadow into a human... I couldn't believe my ears. I'd be so sad to lose my own body.


 * "I suppose there are some who think that way," the man replied, and I realized I had murmured my own feeling aloud. But more than being shocked, I was confused. How could anyone possibly be happy to turn into a shadow?


 * The man explained that turning into a demon was only temporary. If you then attached yourself to someone else, you could get a new body. Perhaps even a younger or healthier body.


 * He said there was no limit to the amount of times you could switch bodies. If you just went from one person to the next, you could even live forever--like him. "Not so sad after all, is it?" he asked. Still, he insisted, that didn't make us humanitarians.


 * He said my job was very dangerous. He said there were some bad people in the world, and I needed to rescue the unlucky ones who had lost their original bodies to these people.


 * Extremely strong demons could use their own power to take a new host. However, those were extraordinarily rare cases. Most demons needed help to possess a new body.

Part 3
 * The man handed me a knife created to cut through shadows. He told me to strike when my target was sleeping, remove their shadow, and sew on the shadow I had been entrusted with.


 * I asked him what would happen if one person would have two shadows. He told me that there was a chance they would fight and destroy each other. Apparently, it wasn't a pleasant sight.


 * "Cut off the old shadow and bring it here," he told me. If I did that, I could get three yubles. It was a form of payment, he said, and if I collected 30,000 of them, he would grant me one wish.


 * Any wish? Just for helping out those poor demons? It was a great deal any way I looked at it! So I agreed and got to work right away.

Part 4 I was really busy in those early days, but if my target was sleeping, the job was easier than pie! I always rewarded myself with warm milk and cookies afterwards. I felt so happy...until I looked down at my feet and remembered.


 * I don't have a shadow. I never did for as long as I can remember. But maybe I lost my memories at the same time I lost my shadow. Memories of my parents and friends, of happy and sad times... No matter how hard I tried to remember, nothing ever came to me.


 * I wanted my shadow back more than anything. But if I couldn't have that, I supposed I could settle for any shadow... The longing only got worse as time went on. I guess that's why eventually...I did it. I just couldn't control myself any longer.


 * That day, I received yet another mission and shadow from the man. But instead of attaching it to my target as always, I...I attached it to myself. In the next instant, a flood of memories rushed through my head--but they weren't my own. They were cruel and bloody memories, filled with malice and hatred.


 * The next thing I knew, tears were streaming down my face and my whole body was shaking with sobs. It was as if I had done those terrible things with my own hands. But that atrocious feeling wasn't alone... Alongside it was one of unimaginable power. At that moment, I felt absolutely invincible.


 * An indescribable bloodlust awoke withing me and demanded I sate it, but I couldn't. I just continued to cry, afraid and knowing it was trying to change me into something I wasn't. After that, I don't remember much. When I woke up, I was lying in my bed.


 * From that day forth, I heeded every warning that man ever gave me, and saved up my yubles little by little. At my feet, there was something...but it wasn't a shadow. Not a real one, at least. The man made a fake one for me.


 * I decided that when I had enough yubels, I'd ask the man to sell me a shadow. Until that day, the fake one would have to do.

Part 5
 * In the back of the facility, within a dimly lit room, was a large, round water tank. Within the tank was a single demon. A silver-haired man twisted a knob inside the tank.


 * Within the colorless liquid fell a pure, white object. The mysterious matter--a heartless, ever-glowing flame was known as the Flames of Bliss--diffused its color slowly into the water, gently tinging it a pale white.


 * The demon within the tank began to writhe violently and howl in pain. When those movements slowed, the demon's body changed form a thin, two-dimensional figure into a full-bodied, three-dimensional one.


 * The demon--having expended all its power--slowly sank to the bottom of the vessel, and the silver-haired man typed on the keyboard in front of him, draining the liquid from the tank. When he peered inside, however, there was no demon to be found. Only a human


 * The man carried the human to a separate room and laid it on a bed, then sat down with a serious expression on his face. He had too many failures to count, but this time was different. When the experiment's eyelids began to quiver and its eyes opened, he realized that this time had been a success.


 * The experiment slowly sat up on the bed and asked, "Where am I? Who am I? And why am I here?"


 * "Your name is Luca," Faust answered, and he planned on using the homunculus to spread demons throughout the entire world.
