I uploaded this to unvale but I’ve just remembered like the purpose of tumblr and now had a reason to post welcome aboard the yap boat I am your captain, please listen and you may also speak idc lmao
Anyways here Casimir and Lance interaction I wrote (not entirely canon but it’s along the lines of what happens)
Lance held his plasma gun up to the Donoar leader who was sitting in a poorly made chair in front of him in the large warehouse, fury etched into his eyes. He finally did it, he was finally going to find those missing people and bring them home, after all these years of running around it was over. Justice would be served.
“Where are they, Polaris?” Lance demanded, poking the cyborg with the tip of his gun.
Polaris just looked at Lance with a mischievous look, the man was unable to smile due to his fully metal faceplate but Lance could tell he would've had a large grin on his face if he could.
“WHERE ARE THEY?!” He shouted, using the handle of his gun to strike Polaris’ shoulder.
“They're right here, Winters.” Polaris chuckled and pointed to himself, “They've been with you the whole time-”
Lance struck him again but this time in the jaw.
“Dont fuck with me, Polaris!” Lance hissed.
Polaris didn't chuckle anymore he just stared up at the detective but then his eyes started to fall, not figuratively, not looking at the ground, Polaris’ eyes literally fell out of his face and bounced onto the floor in front of Lances feet, a small splatter of blood appearing beneath them.
The detective was so taken aback he nearly dropped his gun. Did Polaris just die in front of him? But how, what in the name of Selia just happened?
But thats when he heard the familiar chuckle of Polaris as the Donoar leader lifted his head and Lance stared into the empty sockets, a shiver running down his spine.
“You know detective, you were the only person I ever had to worry about during all this, it seemed like you could see right through my disguises.” Polaris’ voice seemed to go more high pitched as he stood, he didn’t sound like Polaris anymore and soon he started to look less like Polaris as his metal skin seemed to melt away and become a bright orange fur coat.
“But I was always three steps ahead of you regardless…”
The creature that once resembled Polaris pushed Lance backwards with one clawed hand and stood fully. The creature grabbed the metal faceplate and removed it to reveal an eyeless smiling face.
It was at least a foot taller than Lance, it still wore Polaris’ outfit but it didn’t fit the creature's lanky body at all.
This begged the question, where was Polaris? How had he been chasing a man who didn’t even exist? But that wasn’t possible, Lance knew Polaris before he left. But then it clicked.
“I thought all the shifters were purged during the first night war” Lance whispered. He had read about shifters, werewolf like shifting but instead of a wolf it was anyone you desired but it came with the cost of your own eyes.
“Oh you catch on quick I must admit. But that is only half of what I am. I am something greater than you will ever know.”
Lance narrowed his eyes. Great Selia, he didn’t have time for games.
The detective leveled his gun back at the creature.
“Where are the missing people?”
The creature looked disappointed and just stared at the detective.
“You’re no fun, Winters.” He sighed, then he reached for the collar of the detectives shirt.
Lance gasped and shot at the creature but it was too late.
The creature slammed Lance into the ground with such force he broke through the floor and into a basement like area but he couldn’t see because of the dust.
Lance gasped and coughed, blood spitting from his mouth. He’d never seen anyone with such power like that.
“Wh-what…the…” Lance coughed in disbelief, more blood pooled out of his mouth and he swore under his breath. He couldn’t be having a blood issue right now, it wasn’t the time.
Lance heard a scraping sound from somewhere in the darkness and for the first time he was truly afraid, he didn’t know what else this thing was capable of. He slowly crawled away from where he fell to try and find somewhere to hide while blood dripped from his mouth.
“Ooohhh now this is fun, detective…I enjoy this game very much.” The creatures voice echoed through the dark empty basement.
“But I need to find you, I can’t continue my plans without you.”
Lance continued to crawl through the darkness blindly. He didn’t want to know what it had planned for him, he needed to find an exit and fast.
“It will be wonderful, you’ll see. I will bring an age of fiery peace to my people and a fiery death to yours. Your people will learn how it feels to be hidden away and I will be a god amongst men once more.” The sound of metal scraping on the wall after he spoke made Lance crawl faster and soon he found a room and he slowly got to his feet to enter.
“But I can’t do this without you detective, you must help…” but the creatures voice faded as Lance entered the room and closed the door.
Lance was breathing heavily and coughed slightly. In the darkness of the room he held his hands out to try and find a switch of some kind. His fingers intertwined with a small piece of thread that seemed to be held up by something on the ceiling, a pull light. Lance pulled it and the dark room lit up with a dim light.
He blinked, getting used to the light and he looked around for an exit but the room was empty besides a tarp that covered a shelf in the corner.
Curiosity got the better of Lance as he neared the shelf that was hidden away, placing his hand on the old leather tarp and tearing it away to reveal something that would change Lance forever.
all of them placed neatly next to each other. They were dead but Lance felt as though they were staring at him, judging him, a feeling of fear and unforgiveness filled the room.
It was them, the missing people, they were all here but only part of them.
Lance was going to scream when a voice interrupted him.
“Beautiful, aren't they detective?” The creature spoke. How long had he been there?
“They all kept me safe for all these years.”
Lance was silent before he turned around to attempt to attack the creature, his hand balled into a fist but then he felt a terrible sharp pain and the sound of tearing flesh was near deafening.
The creature simply chuckled as Lance looked down to see a large metal pipe embedded into his chest.
Lance stumbled backwards but the creature grabbed him before he could fall to the ground and pulled him close to his face.
“You are part of something greater than you realize, detective. I need your little friend to bestow you with whatever Selia left behind on this mortal plane and I thought I’d help give that little rabbit a push.” The creature tapped the metal pipe and Lance winced.
“Nonsense…S-Selia is just a-a-a myth…I don’t believe…in gods” Lance sputtered, his coughing spit blood onto the creatures face but it looked unfazed only hurt by what Lance had said.
“You really should’ve listened to that priest…or me, I should say.” He hissed, turning Lance around to show him the priest's eyes. “I’ve been giving you hints the whole time.”
Lance choked on his breath, a guilt rising in him. He’d seen the priest only a few weeks ago.
“You and I are the next in line according to the stories. When the sun goddess’ son would return with the moon goddess’ chosen the sun would return with a fiery hatred more powerful than the first fire.” He chuckled.
“You believe yourself to be Casimir…The banished son?” Lance spat, all this pain caused by a man who thinks himself god.
“No, I don’t believe, I was born as Casimir and banished by that witch you all call a savior.” Casimir hissed, slamming Lance into the bookshelf.
Lance didn’t say anything, he really couldn’t, he just looked at all the eyes and they seemed to stare back into his soul as if to ask him why he didn’t save them.
He wheezed as the pain in his chest worsened.
“I won’t help you Casimir.” Lance whispered
“I don’t think you ever had a choice in the matter and you have your little rabbit friend to blame for that, I’m honestly surprised he never told you what he truly was.” Casimir smiled. “It was fun watching you work, detective but I must prepare for the dawn, I’m sure I’ll see you again soon.”
Casimir let Lance fall to the ground and the man let out a cry of pain as he felt the metal pipe shift in his chest. Casimir chuckled and left the room, leaving the door open.
Lance was finally alone in the room and he could see all of the people’s eyes.
The police chief, the priest, his detective partner, the speakeasy owner and many more on the shelf. How long had they all been Casimir and not their normal selves? How long had they’d actually been dead for without him realizing?
Lances breathing quickened and his vision started going dark, his cries began to become more and more quiet as he felt the energy leaving his body and at some point everything went black…
