It's been a long time since my first story (which was meant to be a structure..), so here's a new and improved story thanks to some reviews!
Demon slayer - The Cursed Thor
Chapter 1 Part 1: The realization
A young Demon Slayer named Dark was found pacing around in his city - the City of Edelstein, it was a beautiful Friday afternoon after school... Not really. There were darkened clouds beside the city that blocked out the sunlight, far worser than what the sky was showing just a few days ago. He was thinking about something, something that he dreamt of the last few nights... Being a Demon with "Abnormal powers", he started to question himself about his true identity, was he really a Demon Slayer?
BOOM! The bright Lightning struck a tree that fell down and killed some random citizens.
Out of the blue, he shouted out: "OH NO!", while thinking if his long gone father was really "it". He spread his small wings and started to speed off, towards his house.
"Mom? Mom! I have something to ask you about!" Yelled little Dark to a quiet and silent house, filled with the aroma of his favorite thing that he had eaten since young - along with a side drink, pancakes filled with horrifying insects and stuff, and the drink called "Ribena"...
No one was to be seen at home, only a piece of ripped paper sticked between the plate and the dining table.
He walked towards it and picked it up..
"To my dearest little Demon Slayer, Dark:
As you can see of the upcoming black thunder storm, the one that has taken over the skies of Edelstein.. I, as your mother, have failed to tell you something very important... That would change your thinking of the storms around.. I cannot be with you anymore, the city needs all the heroes it can get to protect it, you need to go very far away from here and go as low as possible.. What I want to tell you is that, your father, is ..." Reads the ripped paper.
The little Demon Slayer was confused, and also angry, but scared.. He did not know if he is even angry or sad, he flew straight out of the house with tears dripping from his eyes.. He forgets to open the door and indeed, the door was never to be seen again.
"What do I need to do..? Why do I feel this way? Am I really... Not a proper Demon Slayer? Am I... Cursed?" Thought Dark as he walked as fast as he could, not seeing where he is walking towards.
BAM!... A thunder strike hits Dark as soon as he looked up to the sky.
"ARGHHH!" Screamed Dark as he fell flat on the floor face down.
When he began looking up again, the floors around him started to glow blue with lightning... He feels that he became stronger and he had a blue lighty aura surrounding him. He feels.. Charged with energy.
"Oww.. My head" as he looked around, everything seems blurred. He shook his head around and felt sick. The kind of sickness that makes you feel like floating away, not a kind of sickness you would feel everyday.
As soon as he felt okay, he quickly headed the direction towards ground for safety, while thinking about his mom.
He tripped on a metal rod kind of thing, and that metal rod got filled with electricity.
"Wha..? What's going on!" Exclaimed the confused Demon Slayer.
Feeling curious, he went to grab the rod, with cautious.
He held the rod up and jolted abit, making the rod shoot out lightning to a tree nearby.
Now he was even more confused about himself, and started to do some testing.. He held the rod up towards the sky and waited for another lightning strike. He squeezed his eyes and shivered
PSSSSSHHH! A stronger thunder strike that is all focused on the rod shot it with tremendous power, making the little Demon Slayer feel "recoiled".
He was surprised he did not die of that much voltage being transferred into his body by the rod, he aimed the rod and.. KABOOM! Roasted chickens everywhere..
He now knows that he is not fully a Demon Slayer, he teared as his dreams of being the ultimate Demon Slayer fades away slowly.. He walked slowly through the lightning storm and felt alone. Where has every body gone to?
His mind drifted away while he was slowly going towards his destination.
"LOOK OUT! Duck!"...
Dark took it as an insult as he was called names, but not "duck" before..
He shouted back to the skies: "You are evil! You will get struck by lightning and die!"
Not knowing that it was a warning, he got hit by a huge tree that threw him upwards, towards a tower. He felt dizzy, and all he could see was a blur - a person that seems to be holding a stone.. Or what he could see was a stone..
"What are you doing... No!" Cried Dark as he was hit by a hard stone thing, flew all the way down to the ground as he tried to use his wings.
He crashed into the ground with a roll that soften the fall.
After getting up and trying to get a grip on the floor, he found himself face to face with Zeus... The Lightning God.
Zeus held up his weapon and swung it towards Dark. Dark closed his eyes and accepted his fate.
Chapter 1 Part 2: Fate?
Suddenly a loud crash was heard and the grumbling of the lightning went even louder, Dark opened his eyes to see a Zeus being forced to the ground with a magnificent amount of dark force. He turned to see his favorite motivational hero that he always envied.
The one with the mask and a mace dashed towards Dark, taking him away from Zeus.
"I can't believe my eyes! OOOOOHHH! Are you the masked hero of Edelstein? My name is dark, and I read alot about you!" The excited Dark kept on blabbering non stop until the masked hero covered his mouth, pointing upwards.
Dark looked up.
He found a whirlpool in the skies (yes, a skywhirlpool) heading towards Edelstein. He looked at how beautiful it was and.. "The war has begun..." Interrupted the masked hero.
"Ahh! What war? Is it that the Gods want to perish the Demon Slayer race!?"
"No, he came here, for..."
Suddenly a huge tree flies across the whirlpool and towards them at lightning speed. The tree was then struck by lightning and begun to start flames around the tree.
The masked hero ran towards the tree and grabbed it, doing an upside down flip with the tree and threw it back to the skies. His gloves and part of his mask was burned.
Now he realizes that his hair is showing, he told Dark:
"I, am the one that they are chasing after, due to the fact that young Demon Slayers... Like you, wander around and do some funny stuff that made the gods angry! I had to protect you all and now my head got into the bounty list in heaven!" The masked hero reveals himself: The Demon Avenger
"Wow! The Demon Avenger! The ultimate Demon Slayer!" The very excited Dark jumped around in excitement, before noticing something behind them that is unfamiliar to his eyes..
"Holy cows? What the!"
Zeus used his lightning to charge up the Edelstein farm animals and sent them raging around Edelstein.
-XDreamerMS-
All the expert Demon Slayers had gathered together in a hall, with a sharp roof, which will combine their powers into one to make a protective barrier around Edelstein before going on.
The Mayor says: "The ones who are cowards shall not stay, as the spell will need major concentration and we cannot bear to have any mistakes, this shield will prevent any thing from coming in for at least a few weeks. Everyone at your positions!"
-Bing! Back to Dark-
"Alright little kid, see that sharp roofed hall? They are going to make a protective barrier that will not allow ANY thing to pass through, which means they can have enough time to think about what they can do to help me in this mission." The Demon Avenger said with stern eyes
"You with me or you gonna cower and hide in the barrier?"
"I am coming with you, there's no way I'm gonna miss out this much fun! By the way, what is your name?" Dark excitedly asked
"First, you can come with me, second, this is dangerous and you must follow everything I say, third, call me Spark"
Said spark, the Demon Avenger
Spark.. It sounds all so familiar to Dark, it rhymes with his name as well.
Chapter 1 Part 3: The adventure awaits
Looking up, the whirlpool has already changed into a wide blue portal, summoning Zeus's advisor... Without wings..
"AHHHHHH!" The flying advisor exclaimed
While they are looking at the advisor, the advisor closed his eyes and a light came out of his body. Continuous electricity flowing through the advisor's body caused flashes of light and blinding any one who looks at him. When he reached maximum velocity, his blue lightning filled body turned into a sharp bluish sphere that looked similar to Papalatus (did I spell it right?) sphere, but bigger. A few lightning sparks orbited around the sphere before it became a super fast rotating ball and it flew towards the hall.
"It is too fast! They won't have time to get the shield ready by then! Stay here little one! I am going to divert the.. Thing..." Said the confused Spark
It disappeared! Where have it gone to? Uh oh! It teleported above them and within seconds, something bad would happen, as like always with explosions.
"Right.. Just as I was saying.. Keep out Dark! This is gonna just kill me!" - Spark
As the ball of lightning came closer to Spark, he holds his hands up with something blue appearing on his hands.
Then: "IGNITE!"
Dark watched as Spark slowly absorbs the whole ball of electricity, then passing out, before that, he pushed out the absorbed energy and it created a bushfire beside them.
The bushfire rapidly spreads towards the two, and making Dark anxiously trying to wake Spark up.
"Hey! Ow! That's some zapping you did there! Now get up! We are going to get burned!"
The bushfire spreaded too quickly, surrounding them with no way to escape, except, up.
Dark looked back at his wings, he tried to carry Spark and flew off. But within seconds, he felt pain in his wings, making them fall into the flames.
Dark looked at the ground, and started to slap Spark until he was awake.
Spark looked around him and realized that he needed to fly.
PEW! Like a bullet, and... BANG.. They hit something hard and big.
"Woah! Wow! I can't believe my eyes! Is that the... The X key!..."
But something else caught his eyes after looking at the key, behind it was a ripped piece of paper, which looked like the other half of the paper from his dining table.
While reading it, he felt droplets forming in his eyes, no, he was not crying..
"the one and only Zeus, together, we combined our strength, hoping to make YOU a stronger warrior that will keep the peace between the Demon Slayers and the Lightning Academy.. You were supposed to be named Thor, but in the end, we broke up and had a fight because of a small argument, a minor one, therefore I named you Dark, and your brother, with a similar element of power to you, Spark, to differentiate between the both of you as you both had similar powers, but YOU, were the one first to be born with Dark powers, and Spark to be born with Lightning powers, if you and him could combine your efforts, that is, if you ever find Spark, to help create an alliance between the two races.
Love, your Mom, as well as Spark's"
Tears of joy? Tears of anger? Sadness?
"What's the matter?" Spark wiped the tears of Dark's face, giving him a smile.
Chapter 1 Part 4: Mislead Revelations
"Am I.. Really one of them too?" Dark said with a soft voice as he knelt to the ground in the open
"Dark? We have to get out of here! It's too dangerous! We can talk later, but for now, keep the key, follow me!" As Spark sees a "spaceship" floating down
They flew quickly to a shelter in a cave, when Dark sat down, on a pressure plate.. "Uhhh, I think I sat on something"
"Don't move!" Spark looked around and found themself in the Leviathan's cave
"ROAR! Who dares to enter my cave at this hour of the night!" The raging Leviathan roared across the cave that echoed around the beautiful crystals
"It's me! Spark! I am really sorry to wake you up. Dark here, has unknowingly sat on one of your pressure plates, is it safe for him to stand up?"
"Yeah sure, but what brings you here, Spark?" Asked Leviathan
Dark blew a sigh of relief and stood up.
"If you did not know, the outsides of Edelstein is being screwed big time by Zeus, and I think I might need your help finding an army to stop Zeus."
"No!" Dark interrupted
"Look at this!" Dark gave him the ripped piece of paper he found with the key
-The cave went silent for a moment-
Dark looked down at the ground, and then back to Spark a few moments later. He found him turning around with his head looking down.
Leviathan decided to break the silence as it was getting boring.
"Anyone wants hot chocolate? Tea? Coke? Coffee? Water?.."
-Still silent-
"Uh I guess that's a no then?" Leviathan awkwardly walking back to his room.
"If you need me I'll be up in my room to gather some information about the war!" Leviathan sped back into his room
"Spark?" Dark as soft as he was whenever he is scared or sad
"Dark.. We have to do this, are you with me? No army, only the both of us. We can do it together." Handing the piece of paper back to dark
Dark smiled while trying to hold back tears, he felt an urge to hug Spark as a brother now.
Spark held Dark's hand and walked out together away from the cave.
"The key.. It might lead us to something. Is there any thing written on it?" Spark, seemingly talking to himself
Dark did not hear it as he was thinking of something in his heart, deep down. He always wanted a brother, and he found one that was "cool" to him and it was his favorite hero!
"Uhhh... Dark?" Making Dark snap back into reality again
"Oh.. What was that again? Right, the key. Here, there's nothing written on it.. Although..." He took out the ripped piece of paper and looked at the back of it "There! I think I found a map thingy"
The map points to the heart of Edelstein, beneath their secret underground base, lies a door that will open up to a basement of thousand floors. They need to get to the bottom of the city to get it.
They thought about it as the Edelstein hall begun their spell and the barrier is 20% complete.
On the other hand inside Edelstein, the Resistance team decided to help them on the barrier building, defending them against any lightning Mages or stuff like that.
They walked towards Edelstein
"If the barrier completes before we can even go out of it, we will not be able to get the alliance! We need to hurry." Spark rushing Dark towards the city
The barrier is now 25% complete.
They quickly walked down the side of the city, sneaking into the base as they are not suppose to be there
"Who's there!" A teddy bear alerted
"Shh.. We need to be more quiet."
They slipped into the underground base, finding the beneath of the underground base.
They went towards a sandpit which seems like a playground that would be for kids.
Dark went towards it as he looked at it, it was built with the same structures as the playground that he played on everyday after school in the city. He walked up into it and slipped.
"AHHHHH! Quick sand!" Yelled Dark
"No silly, you found the beneath of the underground base! Good job... Little brother." Spark went in as well into the beneaths of the underground base. That sentence made Dark blushed a little.
"Here lies a door that is placed on the floor which will open with a "knock" on the wall." Reads the door on the floor that needed a knock on the wall.
"Knock knock!" Dark exclaimed
Ground shaking~
"I think you need to put in the key now! In that hole!" Spark shouted
Key inserted into keyhole~
- Everything went normal.. -
Or not... The door swung open and they found themselves falling through the thousand level basement.
The barrier is now 45% complete.
End of chapter 1
