P&SWG: Nephilim rising
Chapter1:Enter sleeves atoms
The story begins in a white room with four marble columns and two large church style windows. Sitting at the far end of the room was an 18-year old boy with his head held down. He had short orange hair that parted into two large bangs at the sides of his head. He had pasty skin and freckles under his blue eyes.
Sleeves P.o.v
"My name is sleeves atoms. The boy began in his head. I am currently 18 years old. And you can probably already guess where I am and what I am now."
"That's right. I'm dead. A spirit of the boy who passed from the mortal world.
Time of birth: October 22,1995
Time of Death: December 24,2013
Cause of Death: Failed attempt to escape enemies seeking revenge. "
(Flashback to 11 years old, sleeves was 11 years old and he was just wearing a plain skull t shirt and short cargo pants.)
"When I reached my 11th birthday, one of the presents I got had unexpectedly changed my life. People always tell you kiddies never to imitate what you see on television, That also includes video games, I was one of those kids who didn't listen. "
"The sly cooper series….A series of four games in total centering around a band of thieves. A group of anthropomorphic animals that made heists that would be remembered for an eternity."
"I was so inspired to become a thief from the game, me and my friends actually went through with it."
"We only started out with petty jobs such as stealing small gems from history exhibit's, as we gained more experience, we began making bigger heists, From stealing priceless art and replacing it with fake replica's to ancient treasures thought to be lost for centuries. "
"We thought we were untouchable, but things have a way to take a turn for the worse."
And that's just what happened, during our latest heist, it seemed to be considered the easiest one yet.
"But we never expected a trap to be waiting for us. Before we knew it we were running for our lives. We were told that if we didn't comply with the orders that were given, they were ordered to shoot to kill."
"My friends managed to escape, but I wasn't so lucky, I was staring down the edge of a huge cliff, on one side were my friends making there escape leaving me behind, and the other side were enforcers already on my tail. Before I could jump, I was shot in the ankle."
"Despite the pain , I still tried to jump over the large gap on the mountain, but I only made it to the ledge...
"As I hanged on the edge I looked up to see the person more important that anything in the world to me. I reached out and begged her to pull me up but…, she turned her back on me, she turned around an ran as I had lost my grip on the cliff. "
"As I kept falling and falling for what seemed to be an eternity, all I could do was ask why…why did she let me fall? Did I really screw up this bad?" with so many questions left unanswered everything went dark, my life was over…
(Flashback over)
"And now I'm here waiting for my final judgment. Funny, I never really thought there was a god, the whole idea seemed a bit silly to me."
" I mean, wouldn't you have your own questions about how one man created the world? One person being able to split waves and create miracles?"
"(sigh), well, now that I'm here, I guess all I can do now is pray for a merciful fate, not that I deserve one."
As sleeves had looked up, he had saw a man dressed in white entirely and with skin the same color as his suit. But there was no face.
"Sleeves atoms? The faceless man asked.
Yeah what's it to you? Asked sleeves with a little confidence in his voice. But the faceless man only made him more scared then he was now.
"Follow me please, they've confirmed your fate." The man had motioned sleeves to follow him to a pair of large double doors."
"Humph, whatever, was getting bored of sitting here anyway." He said as he got up and began to follow the man in white. As he continued to follow the man, he had noticed they were walking down the hallway, he could see two reflections of him in the floor. He only saw one reflection of the man in the white suit. He saw a reflection of him covered in light on one side, and on the other side his reflection was covered in darkness.
This had concerned the boy at first, but he decided he had more things to worry about then just his reflection. They had soon came up to two Giant double doors. They were gold plated and had a vine like design surrounding the edges of the doors.
Go on through here.. the man in white had stepped to the side allowing sleeves to proceed forward on his own.
Sleeves had pushed open the two double doors and was soon enveloped in a blinding light. He couldn't see where he was going, but he kept moving forward.
When the light cleared, it showed that he was standing on a single platform in a sunset sky that seemed endless. Besides him, there was a white being that seemed to be the size of a young adult.
"Who are you? Sleeves had asked the white entity."
"Hmm, who am I, I could be a lot of things. I could be the water, I could be the trash you throw away,
Or I could be you, But you may refer to me as god." The white entity spoke
"Huh, so you're the almighty god? You don't seem that impressive." Sleeves spoke skeptical about the supposed almighty sitting before him.
Really, tell me boy, have you considered the question of how your still breathing? The man folded his arms as he awaited for the boy's response.
"Oh well that's because uh.. um…." Sleeves knew he had no idea how he was still able to breathe cause he was sure that he fell of the edge of a cliff and had died.
"That's what I thought, if I'm not mistaken your sleeves atoms and you had died on the date of December 24, 2013. It's a shame that you had died just before Christmas. The white being sighed with a fake disappointed tone..
"h-how did you know about…sleeves started before the entity cut him off yet again.
"I know everything, I see everything, I am god. Did I not explain this too you earlier?" the entity joked tilting his head.
"Whatever… what do you want with me? "Sleeves glared as his feet were already shaking
"Well I have been deciding what to do with you, you have committed crimes in the past that break some of the 13 amendments, and I should very well send you down below." The white entity spoke as he brought up a large yellow scroll that had all the crimes sleeves had committed in the past.
"Whatever, I lived my life doing what i love, if I have to be punished for it then so be it." Sleeves smiled with fake confidence.
"Hmm.. well I should tell you that everyone that dies once get's at least another chance at redemption." At the very moment the entity said another chance, sleeves pinned his focus on the word.
Another chance..? what do you mean sleeves asked hoping the being meant what he was thinking.
"I mean that I can let you get a second chance at life, but you will need to accomplish something in return or your fate will be the same. " are you sure you want to do this?" the entity questioned.
"I don't care, if there's a chance that I can reclaim my life I'll do anything." Sleeves spoke confidently clenching his fist.
"Well I'm glad to see your determined at least, (this might actually be an improvement to our current situation..). " the entity muttered under his breath. Sleeves was only able to catch the first part.
"I'm sorry? I didn't catch that last part, what did you say?"
"Oh never you mind…just thinking about something else." The entity assured waving the subject off.
"Ok, well what shit did you plan on having me do anyway?" sleeves questioned folding his arms.
"Ignoring you vulgarity, there is one thing that comes to mind. " the entity called god had raised one hand and brought up an image of two girls. One had a thin body with long yellow hair with 3 bangs going down al l the way to her legs. She had blue, black and white circular eyes and was wearing a red dress and red heels' .
The other one had violet/pink hair. Like the other, she had long hair going down to her legs, but her hair was a bit more tamed. She had blue eyes with gothic eye lashes.
She wore a white and black dress with stockings lined with purple and black stripes wearing black heels.
"Who are they suppose to be?" Sleeves questioned as he inspected the images.
"Well, there suppose to be the current angels exterminating demons.. though recently there progress hasn't been really, how should I put this? Acceptable."
"So what you want me to become and angel and slay demons? You probably want me to purify the whole world too." Sleeves asked jokingly.
"Ah so I don't need to say it, Glad you up to it." He said as he snapped his fingers.
"Huh? Your serious, I thought you were only joking around." But before sleeves knew it one angel wing had magically grew on his back.
"I'll make this simple. These girls go by the name Panty and stockings. There current progress as angels hasn't been very pleasing. They were suppose to collect coins to get enough heaven coins from the demons that plagued the world. But so far they've only destroyed a handful of demons so far, the city is still doomed to destruction if someone isn't there to serve as backup."
"What do you think they're doing? I mean if there angels then they must at least do their job well."
"Well, there is something I should tell you about these two. The entity hesitated as he turned back to the pictures of the female angels.
these two are a special case.. even though they are both angels, they both have the personifications of 2 of the deadly sins, Stocking has the personification of gluttony."
"She has a unhealthy obsession over sweets, and she rarely shares with anybody.
And when I say unhealthy I mean unhealthy. If you put a basket full of sweets over a fire hydrant there's no doubt she'll be tempted to eat."
Ha ha , that's priceless. I bet she already got into some real trouble with the bakery when she wouldn't pay." Sleeves laughed.
"I would advise you to cease your laughter until you hear the end of the briefing." The entity spoke obviously not amused with the boy's laughter.
"Ok ok, so what about the other one? She looks…decent." Sleeves grinned trying to find a better way to describe how the blonde angel looked.
"This one is rather…different from her sister.. " the entity sighed.
"What do you mean by different? " sleeves questioned
"Well unlike her sister, she has a different obsession, which happen to be men."
"Men? Don't tell me she actually eats' men?" sleeves joked yet again trying to hold back his laughter.
"Well that's a yes and no question. You see, panty has the personification as the lust sin."
"Lust. So you mean that she's obsessed with sex?" sleeves asked with an eyebrow raised.
"That is correct, and the problem is she is never satisfied. Like her sister, her addiction to this is uncontrollable so there's no telling who's pants she might try to get in. she may even go after you if you look pleasing enough to her."
"(I bet I wouldn't find one chastity belt or purity in the place I'm heading..)" sleeves snickered under his breath.
"Your not in a position to make jokes young man, in a way you are no different from them." The entity spoke offending sleeves.
"WHAT? just what do you mean by that huh?" Sleeves questioned angered at the being's comment.
"You too have a sin that's bound to your person. Can you guess what it is?"
Sleeves was about to continue the argument until he suddenly got an idea of what the mysterious man could be talking about.
"That's right. Your sin is greed, you got so obsessed with stealing and theft that greed became the one sin that weighed heavier then the others. And now it is bound to you as an irremovable weight."
Sleeves had held his head down in shame as hearing that the very thing that got him here was now branded on him for eternity. The entity had sighed before he began to speak again.
"If I sent you down there as you are now, you would have no control over your greed. Just as these two wouldn't have control over their sins."
"What's your point?" Sleeves interrupted.
"My point is if your willing I can help you control your sin, though it only may be temporary, I can help you contain it." The entity explained as he had stood up.
"What do you mean contain it? And if you could help me then why didn't you help those two?" sleeves questioned.
"I did offer them the same route, but they refused, so they live with their sins. But If you accept, I can seal away the sin far back enough for you to have control over it, so what will you choose?"
Sleeves had folded his arms and pondered the thought for a moment. He wanted to have control over his sins, but he wasn't sure if this would be considered making up for his crimes either.
"I've decided, I want my sin contained, I can't live my life if I don't have control over it." Sleeves spoke with certainty as the entity folded his arms.
"I see, maybe you are different from these two after all?"
"Yeah I still don't get that, what are you talking about different, your not exactly giving any clear hints here…" sleeves complained.
"Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough…, now, let's begin." The entity had raised his left arm as weird symbols had started to appear in front of his hand.
"Hey… this isn't going to hurt is it?" sleeves asked a bit nervous about what was going to happen.
"Well, I am going to examine the weight of your sin so you might feel a slight pinch…." The entity spoke as he thrust his hand forward causing a light yellow circle to appear in front of sleeves.
"Hey what's…. AAAAAGGGHH!" Sleeves struggled as black mist began to pour out of him.
"Hold your ground Mr. atoms, this will only take a second.."
Soon so much black mist came out of sleeves body that the mist itself had began to take shape. As soon as it took the form of a body, the circle in front of sleeves had disappeared. The whole event took a lot out of sleeves. As if someone was tugging on his very soul.
"Hey! What the hell was that fo….." sleeves had trailed off as he stood frozen staring at the black mist that seemed to have a face. he was astonished to see the face on the black mist was identical to his. It was like looking in a funhouse mirror. One of the significant differences was that the black mist replica seemed to have a demonic wing on it's back.
"W-what is this….?" Sleeves questioned not believing what he was seeing.
But it seemed like the entity was at a loss for words himself.
"hey! I'm talking to you! what is this?" Sleeves questioned again.
"This is the shape your sin has taken. It seems as though it had manifested into some form… I never thought something like this would happen…" the entity spoke disappointed as it looked at the manifested greed.
"Well whatever, you said you could seal this thing right? So what are you waiting for?" Sleeves asked impatiently.
But the entity had shook his head..
"What.. what's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, but the way your sin has taken form, I'm afraid I could not seal it completely." Said the entity as he held his arms behind his back.
"What do you mean? Does this mean I'm going to lose myself to my sin too?"
"No, I can still do something, but I don't know if it will be good enough." The entity had walked forward and had began drawing a kanji symbol in the air.
The symbol was the Japanese kanji for forbidden in gold wording. When the mark disappeared, so did the black mist doppelganger of sleeves. But soon a rushing pain hit sleeves chest after the process.
"What… the hell was that?" sleeves breathed heavily holding his chest.
"I did as you wanted, I sealed your sin, or at least…temporarily."
"So how does this seal work exactly?" sleeves questioned looking at the kanji symbol on his left side.
"well, it does hold it back, but that seal isn't 100% reliable either." He explained.
"What do you mean not 100%?" Sleeves questioned with a skeptical look.
"as long as this symbol stays in tact, you should be able to keep your unsavory greed at bay. Though if the seal were to be removed by another angel, there's no telling what will happen." The entity explained holding back a chuckle.
"Wait, how exactly is another angel suppose to remove the seal?" Sleeves asked not understanding.
"Sorry, but we've wasted enough time as it is, you really must be going to your destination, that is unless you've changed your mind and want to go to hell." The entity questioned as he snapped his fingers opening a small portal. As soon as the portal open, flames had shot out with multiple screams.
"Uh… no thanks, I'm fine with slaying demons instead." Sleeves chuckled nervously.
"I thought so…" the entity said with a non existent smirk
"Oh and you should take this with you, you'll need something to fight against the demons or ghosts as there classified as such. Close your eyes and imagine your personality, Vision your being and hold that vision and turn it into power."
"Huh, what is that suppose to do?" sleeves questioned once again clueless
"No time for questions, just do it". The entity shouted becoming impatient.
Pfft, fine.. he said as he closed his eyes. In a few seconds the sleeves on his outfit had began to glow.
They had soon transformed into chakrams, the chakrams were perfectly round with a shiny blue coating with four small blades around them.
While the weapons were in his hands, weird alchemy marks had appeared on both of his arms.
Huh..wha whoa! What are these? He had asked excitedly with sparkles in his eyes..
"These are the weapons you will used to bring judgment to the ghosts. You need to destroy them with those tools in order for you to obtain heaven coins."
"Wait, what are ghosts anyway? He asked.
Sorry, but our chat will have to end here for now, you'll hear the rest when you get down their. we have someone else watching over the angels, look for a man named Garter." The entity finished as the faceless man in the white suit had beg
H-hey, what's going on, what are you doing?! He asked as he tried to break free.
We will talk again, but not anytime soon I'm afraid, have a safe journey. The entity had said as a door had opened out of nowhere.
Out of the door walked the faceless man in white . once he had got behind sleeves, he had picked him up by his neck collar.
"h-hey, what the hell do you think your doing?!" Sleeves struggled to get out of the man's grip.
As he continued to try to pry the hand of him, the white entity claiming to be god had opened another portal.
"Happy trails kid, don't try to get to hell too soon." The faceless man smirked as he tossed sleeves through the portal with it quickly closing behind him.
"Do you think he can avoid dyeing a second time?" The man in white asked.
"The choices for him are already laid out, the questions is what choices will he choose…"
(meanwhile in the town below….)
The town was the exact opposite of what a clean city would look like. The air was filled with the smell of drugs, alcohol, smoke, and various other smells that made a light grey fog that covered the part of the city.
Walking down the dirty sidewalk was a tall man. He had black skin, a large afro, red eyes with a goatee that covered his bottom chin. He seemed to be wearing clothing like a priest would wear.
Past one of the can fires, the man had came up to a coin operated telephone that had seemed to be busted beyond repair, some of the numbers were missing from the machine, and the pole it was set on seemed to be ready to break any minute.
Despite this, the man had picked up the phone and had began dialing a series of random numbers. Soon after, the phone started to ring.
After a few minutes, someone had finally picked up the other end.
"Hello?" questioned an unknown voice from the other end.
"It's garter, you told me you had some news you wanted to share. Hurry it up." the man known as garter rushed the person.
"Ah yes. I've wanted to inform you that a new worker will be coming down there to assist the angels, though he's a greenhorn so I'm trusting you to teach the kid how things work."
"What the hell? don't I already have enough shit to do with only two bitchy angels I have to look after? What makes you think this little bastard won't be the same?" Garter questioned.
"Don't worry, he's chosen to have his sin tucked away, though I don't think that it will do much good if he's not careful."
"What are you talking about? this kid got some kind of problem?"
"Just keep an eye on him whenever he's around those two, other then that, he shouldn't be as much of a handful." The voice explained.
"Fine, but this shit is getting old, I can't pay guardian for much longer." Garter replied
"Hey, be thankful I called ahead of time this time, I could have just sent him down there and had him wandering around." The voice laughed as garter had sighed in defeat.
"Alright, alright, I'll do it. Bye." Garter hanged up the phone had looked towards the sky .
"Well, if someone is coming, then he better know how to do shit right."
"well that's the rewrite of the first chapter. Sorry if those of you like the first one better,(doubt it) but there were way too many plot holes and errors that needed fixing.
If you want to see more wait till next chapter, jack the hedgehog out, CHAOS CONTROL!
(Jack disappears)
