The atmosphere of the room was both tranquil and eerie, as darkness blanketed everything except for a pale tube located at the center. Within, a translucent gel enveloped the fragile form of a beautiful, fair-skinned woman, with only the light of the viscous, sickly yellow fluid providing illumination. Glimmering from beneath the surface of the gel, three piercing, glowing eyes could be seen from outside the tube.

Suddenly, a bony, elongated hand reached out to touch the tank, causing it to quiver before gently injecting a luminous green liquid into the gel, aimed at the sleeping woman. As the fluid soaked through her skin, she stirred, her eyelids fluttering open. An overhead light flickered, sending an eerie glow across the tank.

The surrounding darkness was deafening as two voices echoed throughout the room, emanating from an unknown source. The girl was left disoriented, trying to comprehend her strange surroundings.

"Welcome to the realm of the living, the date is sol 5th of the year 2134." A mysterious figure stepped forward, revealing a shrouded cloak that concealed a striking skeletal visage. As the eerie presence addressed her, a disembodied voice compelled her to move within a gelatinous substance.

"Behold the mighty trinity of the Imperium - we are the guardians of the B.L.A.C.K. vessel, and we are honored to welcome you into our fold. Your former identity as Yi Su, a notorious cartel leader, is of no consequence. You belong to us now, and we are your new family."

As he gradually lowered his hood, she was confronted with a startling sight - a bizarre, exoskeleton-like creature with two sharp pincers protruding from its mouth and dark, beady eyes arranged in a black skull-like formation. It was a demon.

The first to speak was the one called Distain, its voice husky and ominous.

"I am Distain," it growled, its black chitinous armor gleaming in the dim light.

The other creature spoke next, its tone confident and commanding.

"I am Power," it declared, its pincers snapping together menacingly.

The two demons addressed her in unison, their voices blending together in a creepy harmony. "And you are lust," they intoned, their eyes locking onto hers.

"Together, we three are the protectors of the imperium royal family. We are their life givers and their life takers, their friends and their executioners. Above all, we are members of the prestigious high court of the Yamato."

As they spoke, their ominous presence seemed to fill the room, instilling a sense of unease in the onlooker. The significance of their words was not lost on her - these creatures were not to be trifled with. They possessed immense power and were sworn to serve the royals with unwavering loyalty. The weight of their responsibility was palpable, casting a dark shadow over the entire meeting.

As the room enveloped in darkness, a chilling voice penetrated the silence. The Two figures sprang to attention, their gazes locking onto the young girl encased in the tank. Her eyes widened in terror when she saw the face of her captor who appeared behind the 2 demons. Despite his youthful appearance, his demeanor revealed a dark and dangerous depth, and she knew she was in grave danger.

"Welcome back, my little experiment," he said, smiling calmly to her. "You shall spend an eternity atoning for the life of my beloved daughter. You will serve me, the Lord Imperium, faithfully and without fail."

The girl's screams were stifled by a gel-like substance, which entered and started coursing through her body. The 2 creatures watched with hope and awe as her limbs and features contorted, transforming into the very creatures in front of her.

Her captor's voice echoed through the chamber once more. "Welcome to the land of the living, Lust."
