1. Breakdown:Beginning

Chapter one

Ring Ring Ring Ring

I slam my hand on the object that makes the sound of death and yawn slowly getting up I look around my room. Closet check, desk check, bed check, and close for today? Hoodie? On and black as ever.
Shirt? White to a T but the neck is a V. Pants? Dark blue and ready for action! Belt? Well its just a black belt but still its on! Socks following the belts idea its black and ready or action! And finally a pair of black and white sneakers on and ready for a jog.

I jump out of bed looking at the mirror. "Still rocking that black hair I see me." I say with a sly smile "why thank you me I see you've got those beautiful blue eyes still." I blush waving the compliment away "so straight forward I love it!"

Right now that I've flirted with myself a bit time to go brush my teeth then eat breakfast. Before that though I grab my yellow ticket with the '#52' on it placing it in my wallet and head for the bathroom onto my next battle I open the door!

*SHOCK!?*

"No no no! I was not here I never saw this it didn't happen just no!" When something like that comes out of your mouth you know you just messed up. "Xela Eton don't you ever know when to knock!" The demon has awakened!

*BANG!*

My eyes dart around for an escape and finally 'it' hits my sight and I grin bolting for it. "I'm not dying today!" I yell jumping out my open window. I land on the wall barely catching myself before having to jump off it into the alleyway I turn to the window grinning.

"Another daring escape made by yours truly!" I bow before finally bolting from the beast who was approaching the window. "You're gonna have to come home soon!" They roar, with that truth ringing in my ears I head to school.
So you may be thinking who is this handsome devil of a man who escaped the clutches of a demon. And or who is this idiot who jumped out his window because he saw his sister getting busy. I'm just your average seventeen year old high school student.

Xela Eton if you didn't hear from my she devil of a sister. I'm actually pretty terrible at my studies to be honest my motto is work to sleep. Which is of course how I get left behind turns out sleeping after finishing the bellwork wasn't the best idea.

*Zwoosh!*

A car shoots by as I'm about to cross the street. Right I probably should focus on heading to school. Speaking of school please god lets this number be the one! I feel my wallet in my pocket grinning. I don't like putting effort into things that don't interest me but this is something I couldn't let slip by. Like I said before my motto is work to sleep but; at times, I find myself with this weird feeling in my gut and it tells me to try. It usually happens when I'm cleaning though cause most of the time I'll be half-assing that. Flipping open my phone I check the time...!? How long was I dicking around? I got to hurry up and go!

As I get ready to run I'm sure I see someone staring at me from across the street. Dammit I don't have time to think about something like that I need to make sure this ticket of mine doesn't go to waste.

*Wooosh*

"Xela I wasn't expecting you this morning." A familiar voice says to my right I look over a short green haired girl running next to me smiles her red eyes beaming as she looks up at me. "Trying to beat me there?" I chuckle "Well if you must know Viola I was trying to get my ticket in."

Viola wore a red jacket and what seem to be a small black tank top that was hidden by the zipped up jacket almost out of sight. She also wore a pair of blue short shorts and white running shoes. unlike me she had a tan compared to my more pale complexion.

"I see you're trying to transfer out then?" Viola questions I try to respond but the sharp reminder that I'm not the most in shape guy and the fact that I haven't eaten yet hits me in the gut. "Oh wow that hit you like a ton of bricks I guess you can tell me later!"

*WOOSH!*

I knew sleeping all the time would come back to haunt me...No regrets. With that said I stop outside the schools front gate panting and leaning on its frame. "Never...Again..." I groan. So in the simplest way possible I'll explain what happened next.

Once I regain breath headed to class and did exactly what I've been advocating this entire time and passed out. Of course peace can only last so long because the sudden pain over my head of who I can only assume to be Viola book bag stirs me awake.

"Yes mother I would love a side of eggs." I groan looking up Viola grins waving at me "welcome back to the world of the living." She says to me I snap up "shit did I miss my chance?" I yell she laughs "I figured you'd fall asleep so I did it for you." She says taking a bite of her sandwich.

I can only assume I'm looking at her right now with the eyes of someone looking at god. Then it suddenly hits me "Um where did you get that sandwich?" I ask her she freezes. "Found it..." She says mouth still full of food.
I reach down for my wallet looking inside. 'One...two...Three...!?' I snap up as she scarfs down the rest of the sandwich and bolts. "You dirty thief!" I roar firing after her. She laughs "just think of it as payment for saving your ass!" She hollers back.

"Like hell it may have been just one sandwich but its the principle that counts you bastard!" I yell back she jumps down the stair case landing with a *DON* I skid to a stop as I look at her standing there. "Turn yourself in you don't have to live like this!" I yell putting my hand to my chest.

Her hair covers her eyes and she shakes her head "there's no way I can go back not after everything I've done!" She yells back. "What are those two doing?" "Its Thursday already?" "I wonder who's playing the runaway this time." "Looks like it Heartfield."

"Think of your children..." I say lowering my head she turns her head away "I...I have no children." She says turning the corner. I follow after yawning. "Man why don't we have an Oscar yet?" I ask her she grins pulling out the money. "No idea but great show as always."

I feign a scoff "but of course though I do have to admit your performance was amazing as always!" She fakes what I assume to be a blush "you flatter me my friend." I push the money back towards her grinning."Maybe next time just wait I'd have asked you if you wanted to grab something to eat cause you helped me out." I say to her she shrugs "but that would just take away from the chase." I roll my eyes "I think it took away from it the tenth time you did it."

She once again shrugs "we all have our plays this just happens to be mine so you're planning on transferring?" The look she was giving me when she said that kind of push that answer out of me. "Uh yeah my uncle said he'd look after me but I've always wanted to visit another country."

I laugh but it seems like its bothering her. "What are my two favorite asshole up to?" A smooth voice says behind us something pulls me back as I look back I see him standing their with a grin. A black hair guy with blue eyes and a nice complexion. He wears a black suit with a shiny black pair of loafers.

"They still making you wear that Leon?" He sighs "sadly yes seems like being the student council president isn't all it's chalked up to me." He snaps out of it quickly. "Well that doesn't matter my two favorite people were in the same place so I figured I hang out with you both during our break."

Leon Winter we go way back a he actually got the group together introducing me and our athletic Viola though we're missing. "Hey-o! The king is here!" A booming voice erupts from the end of the hall "...Chris." Me and Viola chuckle. The muscular red head jogs over to us grinning he's got a little bit of darker tan than Viola.

Chris Marksman he's wearing a black tank top and a pair of blue shorts with white sports shoes. He towers above the three of us I being the third tallest Leon being the second and Viola being the shortest. "We all heading to the spot?" He asks with a toothy smile. Leon laughs "of course."

The spot is just the roof of the school but no one comes up here because of the rumor of a evil spirit haunting it. When we get up there Viola and I sit on the bench and Leon leans against the wall. Chris sitting on the ground we chat for awhile tossing jokes back and forth.

Like already said Leon is the student council president he's very tactful and usually forces me to work a lot more than I want to. He's the smartest out of the four of us ranking first in his class. Chris though is this school secret weapon for sports.

He dominates the field no matter what you put him in you should've seen him when he was younger when he decided to really start working out. He's the most athletic out of our little group. Viola she's a bit of a mix Shes the second smartest in our little group and the second most athletic.

I beat Leon in athletics if only barely and the same can be said in academics with Chris. "So did Xela tell you he's planning on transferring out through that event the schools letting be hosted here?" Viola questions I flinch at that but Chris just laughs and Leon smiles.

"I didn't take you for the early bloomer Xela." Leon says "I'm more surprised they already announced the number yet he's not nervous at all." Chris says. *Snap!?* 'Hold up they already announced the number right they probably posted it on the board.'

'Wait no does that mean my ticket wasn't the one.' I feel the sudden agony of that and my head drops. "And there it is seems like that hit you like a bag of bricks." Leon says laughing. "I get that often." I groan "do you know what number it was?" I mutter. Chris thinks about it "I think it was fifty-two." I sigh standing up and shuffle towards the door. "Right of course there was no way I'd..." I stop turning around I stare for a moment. Fifty-two fifty-two...!?

*SWOOSH*

"You said fifty-two right!?" I question grabbing his shoulders. He stares at me for a moment before nodding. "Yeah I think it was fifty-two why?" I jump in the air cheering Viola claps and I think Leon takes a picture with his phone "yeeeah!" I turn towards the door bolting down the stairs to check the board.

Someone else stands there looking as well sighing they walk away from the board. I feel bad but hopefully what Chris said was true! I turn towards the board "the winning number its...?" I slump a bit "fifty-three..." I didn't know I could feel this crushed until now.

The three catch up to me looking at the board Chris apologies quickly and Viola tries to comfort me Leon even inviting us out to eat. I take him up on it but the bell rings so we break up. Man why do I have such bad luck?
That thought rings through my head as I walk home. I feel myself bump into someone in my dazed state I look up to see someone in a hood. "Excuse me sir would you like to talk about our lord and..." I zone out again but nod walking with them as they talk. Something about god and smiting demons and lost lambs?

By the end of their spill they hand me three things a vial of holy water a cross on a chain and a bible. They seem ecstatic to have had someone listen to them. Well kind of listen to them I'm sorry for ignoring what you said but my spirits are down.

As I enter my home I'm snapped out of my dazed state by the sudden killing intent. I lift the cross and bible up looking around for the beast. "Oh Xela~ you seem to be in low spirits did you remember what you saw this morning or...what I said?"

I gulp "that you've turn over a new leaf and have taken the life of a woman who will never harm anything?" She laughs "so you decided to practice your jokes once again on me so why don't I tell you one what's about to be black and blue and red all over?"

Could you guess the answer for me I couldn't think of one because of the beat down that beast gave me. I set the three items the preacher gave me and tried to recover from the battle. As I am my phone chimes alerting of my next trial.

**Leon**

-Hey Xel Xel you coming or what Chris is already ordering food and Viola won't stop looking at the front door. Then again I know you're kind of depressed if you don't want to come its fine relax however you like its our usual eat out. \'o'/ (9:23 P.M.)
-

I chuckle pulling myself up "that's right my friends need me I'll be damned if some demon stops me from being there for them!" I roar *BANG!* "Who're you calling a demon!?" The beast roars. "N-no one!" I respond back. The killing intent slowly vanishes and the beast slumber continues.

Sighing I look up 'right its time for me to escape the demons nest!' And by that I mean I just jumped out my window again, landing on my wall I look back to make sure the beast hasn't noticed. I sigh when nothing comes flying at my head.

Hopping down I begin running towards the place but as I do I hear someone towards the humming I see a young green haired girl sitting against the wall. "Uh are you lost?" I ask they look up with a bored expression. "I can't be lost since I'm not going anywhere right?" She asks with a monotone...tone.

I laugh "I guess so." *Grrrwllll* I flinch at the sudden sound only to realize it was the girl. "Uh are you hungry?" I ask her she looks up at me nodding. "And so the young man set off with the girl at his side heading to meet with his merry men!"

"Do you usually monologue out loud?" She questions. "No sorry it something I tend to do when I'm nervous or don't know what to say." I say with a chuckle. She nods at that "so I am Xela Eton what's your name?" I ask she looks at me for a moment before answering.

"That's a weird name." I almost fall forward at that but I fix myself looking at her "uh don't you mean a name that screams hero a man who can do anything!" I roar "a weird name fits you well." She says with a small smile. I fall to my knees "I mean at least you smiled..." I groan.

"Arik Sylvania." I look up and now I have her purple eyes directly in mine her white skin seems to shine in the moonlight as her hair falls a bit over her face. Her white dress seem to compliment this all to well. "Its my name." She says still smiling.

She moves back looking up at the sky "I don't think it be wise for me to go with you..." She says I get off my knees shaking my head. "If that's the case at least take this." I pull out some money putting it into her hand. "If you need any I go to the academy in the red light district."

I move away a bit smiling at her looking away I scratch my cheek "sorry I couldn't be more help Arik are you sure you don't want to-" I turn around to see no one standing their anymore. I sigh "what am I doing?" I ask myself as I start walking towards our eat out.

-A bit later-

"Sorry to give you the blunt in of the bill Leon." I say with a chuckle 'guess I gave Arik a bit more than I thought in the heat of the moment oh well if it helps her out.' Leon shakes his head "nonsense I invited you guys out the least I can do is treat you oh I'd like to introduce a friend of mine from the student council as well."

"Oh are they here?" Chris asked looking around Leon sighs "afraid not they had to deal with some business why don't we meet up with them at our regular spot on the roof?" Leon questions looking for approval from the three of us. "Sure I don't mind." Viola says shrugging. "Hey if they're a friend of yours they've got to be someone interesting right?" Chris says with a grin. I nod "knowing you we already know them." I say getting a small chuckle out of the other three.

Chris stands up "well since we all seem done with our food why don't we go for some karaoke or something." Leon laughs "as fun as that sounds I've got a bit of paperwork the student council wants me to get done so I'll have to call it a night." Viola nods "yeah I'm gonna have to call it quits at this as well got to study for the test coming up."

I snap my head towards her. "We have a test coming up!?" Viola laughs "and it seems like Xela gonna have to call it to unless he's planning on failing that test." I groan planting my face on the table. "What is my luck?" The three laugh at that and we end up parting ways.

On my way home though I feel as though I'm being watched like this morning. It is night I wouldn't be surprised if someone was watching me...but, it feels so much like before that it's bothering me. Luckily I'm near my house...actually now that I think about it I shouldn't lead someone following me around to my home. I decided to lean against the wall and pull out my phone dialing for the police and wait for the feeling to go away or for something to try something.

After a few minutes though it vanishes I sigh jogging home not taking the chance of the feeling returning. I climb up to my window and go into my room closing my window and latching it. Today was long but it was nice to be with everyone they've been busy recently.

And so our hero falls asleep for the next day would change-"Wake up dumbass!" Before I could continue my epic dream a sudden shock of pain fires through my stomach bringing me back to reality. "Idiot if you were going to have a guest over at least be up when they show up!" She puffs right of course I should describe this demons appearance. She's a menacing twenty feet tall abom-

*BANG!?*
Somehow I feel that menacing effect even through my thoughts. She's a bit shorter than I am with a similar complexion and long black hair along with brown eyes. She wore a yellow tank-top and a blue pair of short shorts. I grab the cross and bible raising it in front of me.

"Demon repent for I am a preacher of the word of!? Wait guest?" I place the two in my right breast pocket and give her a confused look. "Yes a guest some hooded weirdo." I think about it for a second than snap "the actual preacher!" I exclaim "wow so quick to drop the facade of a man of the church."

We go down stairs and are met with a pony-tailed white haired girl with blue eyes who sat on the couch. She wore her usual cloak but had on some kind of black clothing underneath "Hello miss preacher." I say with a smile she shakes her head standing up bowing.

"Please call me Lucia Okage." Well that was formal I'm not sure really how to respond to that. "I figured you two didn't know each other the only female friend my brother has is Viola and that's only because he wasn't as big of a loser when he was a kid." *SNAP*

"When you say it like that it makes sense demon your silver tongue knows no end!" She sighs "see what I mean I'm Red Eton sadly related to Xela Eton." Red says with a smile I groan "you didn't have to say it like that." Through our little back and forth though Lucia laughs.

"You two seem close oh? I'm glad you're getting use out of those things its captivating isn't it?" She says with a smile. I give her a confused look but realize that she's referring to the bible and cross in my breast pocket.
I grin nodding"of course as a man of god it's my job to memorize his words verbatim!" She's beaming at me and clapping so that's a good thing.

*TWACK!*

Sudden pain in the back of my head "why..." I groan crouching down while I hold my head. "Don't try to sound cool idiot." Red said "apologies for my brother stupidity." Lucia shakes her head "no more over there's something I must tell you Sir Eton." I give a confused look 'sir?' I think to myself and my sister of course just says out loud.

"Please in the coming hours don't be swayed by the darkness around you." She says calmly her blue eyes seemingly becoming sharper. "Swayed by darkness what do you mean?" I say to her confused once again. "It maybe confusing know but head my words Sir Eton."

-?-

Xela stands their now back on his feet completely as his sister I don't really understand what he does in his free time but for some nut job to come in here and out right say something like that seems wrong. He maybe an annoying little punk who's only friends are never around but he's still a kind hearted kid.

"I don't know what you're on about lady or what you're trying to preach here but I don't want it messing with Xela head." I say calmly Lucia smiles "I understand I won't say anymore but if you ever need my assistance sir Eton please call me." She hands him a small card and heads to the door with a bow.

*CLICK*

I sigh "I swear this city just keeps getting more and more festered with weirdos by the day sorry for waking you up for that Xela?" He beings putting on his shoes and grabbing his bag. "Uh where are you going?" I ask him and he laughs.

"You're the one who tells me not to miss any days even when I'm sick demon." *TWITCH!* Why he feels the urge to call me that I'll never understand. "Wait what do you-" I can't even finish my sentence as he bolts back upstairs. "Wait Xela!" I growl chasing after him.

*FWOOSH!*

Like always he's already out the window "don't worry I don't plan on missing today either love ya sis!" He grins before hopping off the wall. "Idiot today's Saturday." I growl I sigh looking at the frame on the table. "Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"

-?-
"Why have I been running so much lately..." I gasp stopping a bit from the school to catch my breath. "I wonder who Leon wants us to meet." He's always been the more mature one out of the four of us even when we were kids. Though from what I remember he wasn't the smartest.

Then again Viola didn't use to be as pretty as she is now. But people grow out of their weird phases as a kid. I remember I couldn't go on this school trip once and the three of them brought me back stuff. It was when they decided to turn over a new leaf all together actually.

When I snap out of it a bit I realize I'm already at the school but it's a lot more quite than usual. I shake my head of course it quite its morning. I'm assuming the three of them are already here on the roof. Anyways I remember that we promised each other we'd stick together and become big. Of course I had a hard time turning over a new leaf because this was about the same time I realize I could work to sleep. I cheered them on though.

I stop in the middle of the hallway looking at my hand. So why did it feel like ever since we made that promise we've become distant? I don't try to sweat the details like that it's not me but something felt off everyone over time slowly changed.

Chris is the star of the school Leon became the charismatic leader and Viola from the last time I heard the other guys talking is consider the hottest girl in the school. I'm happy for them nothing like this ever bothered me before so why...why are thoughts like that in my head?

As I continue down to the rough the thoughts continue to bother me. I've always stood by their sides always been there to stand with them if anything went bad. But why am I remembering all these times I've been alone...Am I tired or something?

I shake my head "this is out of character for me to think of such things is below me I'll just continue to support my friends like I always do!" I cheer to myself running to the stair case. Right why am I bothered by it I'm the one who'll make sure they don't fall!

*SNAP*

So I open the door to the roof and I finally see the sky didn't look right for some reason and everything was silent. Looking back to the roof I saw four people. Two standing and the other two collapsed on the ground. "Ah the last of the four are here." One of the individual chuckle. They're wearing a black cloak so I can't tell who they're but the person next to them is "Leon!" I yell running over but he raises his hand "hold Eton." He says in a commanding tone stopping me in my tracks.

I look down at the two on the floor realizing it was Viola and Chris. "What's going on here did these two pass out? Should I go call for help?" I question he sighs lowering his head. But the individual next to him laughs "he's and interesting one he'd be perfect in my thrall."

Once again I'm confused so I focus on them "what are you talking about?" I ask them as Leon nods "I'm glad to hear that." He says looking at me "congrats like the other two you've passed." He claps the way he's talking it's weird "passed what are you even talking about?"

Leon nods "of course I guess you wouldn't understand." He says, before he can continue though the cloaked figure raises their hand. "Allow me to enlighten you my young friend." I'm surprised by how fast Leon gets quite its not like him.

"You see a long time ago a devil was taking a stroll and just so happen to see a tragedy happen a young boy had slipped and fallen off the trail of a mountain path and was laying impaled by a branch." they begin "that's morbid is there a point to this story?"

They nod "but of course if you'd allow me to continue." They say I stand their for a moment before nodding and they continue. "The devil looks at the young boy with interest the boy seemed to have something special about him." They snap grinning under their hood.

"So the devil decided to save the young boy and bring them under their wing as a servant. Of course the devil made adjustments to the boy and for a time things worked out. But the body wasn't happy no matter how much they tried they couldn't go past their human boundaries."

They raise their hand up to the sky and made a pulling down motion. "So the devil made the child and offer." They say acting as if they were inspecting what they pulled down. "The devil said if the boy could find two other worthy souls that would be perfect servants than he wouldn't just turn the boy into a devil but the other two as well."

Lifting their hand up to their hooded face a red glow shines out and they continue "the boy was ecstatic and decided to use his good friends as test subjects. And after a bit of time they shined and even showed they had something special about them except."

Their grin slowly vanishes as they point towards me "for one of the boys friends unlike the other two the last of the three turn out to be an average teen with no qualities that stood out and nothing special seemed to hide in him what so ever."

*SNAP!*

Leon looks at them in confusion "but I thought you said-" They laugh at his confusion "have you never heard of sarcasm my boy?" Leon sighs shaking his head. "So the boy brought his three friends to the roof of their school and like promised the devil turned the three who arrived into devils."

*WOOSH*

I freeze as the figure vanishes appearing right before me "as for the final one it said the devil gobble him up for not being the least bit interesting." The sudden force I felt hit me made me gag as I slam into the door behind me.

*DON!*

The roof seem to get further and further away as the staircase came into view I heard them whisper something "or so the story goes." I'm so confused but...I guess it doesn't matter since I'm already...

-?-

"It seems like destiny has bitten your hand Sir Eton." The monotone voice snaps me out of my daze and I shoot up looking around in confusion. My eyes land on a white haired girl looking at me with a worried expression.

*CLING*

"But it seems fate has been kind enough to hand you a second chance." She says pointing to my breast pocket. I look as well seeing a hole there but no wound the book and cross having just fallen out. "Did these...protect me?" I asked confused only remembering what just happened. "Wait no what happened it was a dream right I just hit my head when I was going up the stairs right?" She gives me a confused look now "so this is the famed reaction called denial." Lucia says.

I shot up running up the stair case looking around I don't see anyone. When I turn around I see a dented door at the bottom of the steps where I was laying. "No...no no no no no!" I fall to my knees shaking my head "none of that makes sense nothing makes sense why...why did Leon..."

"Your friend was in the service of a devil and seemingly has taken your friends with him down that path." Lucia says as she joins me on the roof. "It seems you were spared that fate because you weren't strong enough or interesting enough for their approval."

"What the hell does that even mean!" I punch the ground "this is wrong we need to call the police file a missing person report." She shakes her head "no one remembers Leon Winter Viola Heartfield or Chris Marksman the same can't be said for you though." Lucia says.

"What do you mean?" I ask she points at the door "we can assume they didn't wipe your existence because your body wasn't removed from the area. Maybe an act of sympathy?" Lucia seems to ponder this for a moment before shaking her head.

"As of now that doesn't matter what does matter is what you're going to do now." She says I look down for a moment nodding. "Right...I don't get this...I don't get this at all...but even so I can't just sit idly cause nothing makes any god damn sense!"

I stand up looking up at the sky that's now looks normal again. "He forced not only Viola and Chris into this but he also was ready for any of us to die!" I growl "I want to assume he's been corrupted I want to look at Leon as a friend but if everything that devil said was true then..."

*SNAP*

"That means he was the one who decided to use the three of us!" I look at Lucia "I don't know if anything I saw was real nor if I can even trust you but I need to save my friends." She sighs before she begins "so how do you plan on saving them?" She questions. "Come again?" I say to her "surviving that attack was just a fluke blind luck and even then you were knocked out cold I can only imagine that the person who took your friends wasn't even trying." She walks towards me.

*BA-DUMP*

"And not only that but you don't even know where they are. And if they're under that devils command then you might have to fight your friends as well and its highly likely they has even more servants at their command." She prods my chest still going on with a serious tone.

*BA-DUMP*

"You don't even have a way to fight back so what do you plan to do Sir Eton?" She says before something falls down next to us. "He could always fight fire with fire." A monotone familiar sounding voice says.

*SWOOSH*

The sky's color changes once again I look at Arik with a confused look. "What do you mean by that?" I ask she tilts her head "become a devil of course." She says wings sprouting from her back. Lucia jumps in between us reaching to her side "what are you doing here devil?"

*BA-DUMP*
Arik gives Lucia a bored expression "right you're the angel who was charged with following me and investigating this area am I right?" Lucia seems shocked by that but holds her ground "how do you know that?" She questions Arik who sighs "its easy to find out just by your actions."

"For example you recently started following Xela around because you saw him with me am I right?" My gaze falls on Lucia who seems to flinch "dear god please give me the strength to beat this-" before Lucia finishes though Xela vanishes and appears behind her.

*BA-DUMP!*

"As I was saying Xela why not become a devil and fight on equal ground?" I stare at her "I..." A small glowing point appears next to Arik. "Don't listen to her Xela don't sell your soul to this devil." Lucia says is she holding a glowing rapier!?

"Lucia why are you aiming a weapon at Arik right now!?" I yell pointing at the shinning blade "Xela this is a devil like the one who corrupted your friend and took the other two away I'm sorry if I had gotten here sooner I."
"You would've died you knew this would happen and carried on with your mission." Arik says calmly with a yawn. "What do you mean!?" Lucia growls. Arik looks at me now and points back towards Lucia "why do you think she warned you?"

*BA-DUMP!?*

I freeze at that statement "right this morning..." I lower my head "no I needed to make sure Arik wasn't working with them if she had been things would've gone bad." Lucia says the two begin going back and forth with each other. I stood there just trying to wrap my mind around everything but.
*SNAP!*

"Knock it off!" I yell and the two surprisingly stop. "I don't care if your an angel and you left me to die or if your a devil trying to trick me right now!" I growl looking at them. "What I do care about is my friends and who kidnapped them."

"I'm not planning on becoming a devil but I sure as hell am going to find a way to kick their ass and bring my friends back!" I growl 'that's right it doesn't matter if what I'm doing is wrong I was planning on leaving and going abroad anyways so running off to kick a devils ass is the same thing!'

Arik gives a puzzled look "and what makes you think things will turn out any different from last time?" She asks I grin pulling out the cross "it may have been a fluke that this saved me but it just shows it has the power to stop even one of their attacks."

I clutch it in my hand "right now this is the only thing I got but humans we have our ways of worming our asses out of the gutter and into the top spots." I say with a chuckle. "Their not dead just far off and I'm sure if things were swapped they'd come saving my dumbass."

"Its been awhile since something made me want to give a hundred and ten percent!" I chuckle Arik seems to give her own smile of approval as well. "I see you're definitely the one then." She says I give her a confused look that Lucia seems to follow.

Scratching my cheek I laugh "should I be...well happy or should I be worried?" Arik thinks for a moment "if you mind having a devil tag along with you." She says I nod "I do have some resentment towards devil right now but my gut's telling me you're good lets go then!"

The two of us turn towards the staircase and being to head out but Lucia jumps in front of it pointing her rapier at us. "You're not just gonna trust her are you?" She says Arik tilts her head in confusion "jealous he decided to trust me over you?"

To I think both of our surprise she actually turns a bit red waving her rapier at us "what no of course not!" She says looking away "I just...I'm coming too!" She yells "as an angel its my duty to make sure a devil such as yourself doesn't taint Sir Eton mind!"

I feel like I should be flattered at this moment. "And its my job to keep and eye on you and of course now its my duty to deal with this new situation that has arisen!" She seems to be pulling everything out of the book to come along.

"I mean it be reassuring to have an angel on my side." I said laughing scratching my cheek Lucia looks up with a gleam in her eyes "really you mean it?" She says getting closer "yes just put away the rapier." I say raising my hands as a sign of being defenseless.

Lucia looks down her face becoming red again "I forgot I had that out." She says she lets go of it and it vanishes. "Right then we should be off fighting spirit!" I yell pumping my fist. Looking at them I realize they're just staring at me.

"Fighting spirit?" Airk ask confused "yeah like a shout as we embark on our journey!" I roar that seems to get Lucia eyes to shine again and she nods in agreement "that makes sense fighting spirit!" I nod "that's how you do it!" I cheer we look at Arik who in a monotone voice as usual does it as well. "Alright all together now three...two...one!" I roar and the three of us fire our fist in the air "fighting spirit!"

Sir Eton sister is amazing to kick him as far as the living room to the front door is amazing. "You leave for eight hours and when you come back you bring nut jobs and monotone knockers!" Miss Red yells. Getting up slowly Sir Eton raises his hand up "in my defense they wanted to tag along." He says though that response doesn't seem to work as miss red cracks her knuckles laughing "and you thought it be a good idea to say yes?"

He slowly lowers his hand while replying "uh...yes?" Once again an amazing attack by Miss Red I see why Sir Eton is so durable. "What if I said my three best friends were taking by a devil and these two said they'd help me!?" He says shooting up.

Miss Red grabs him by his head lifting him off the ground "I'd say I'm glad you got accepted to that school over seas!" She roars throwing him back into the living room. "Seriously...I...got accepted?" He manages to get out. "Yes you did now if would mind telling me why you try to cause so much trouble like breaking into your school on the weekend?" Sir Eton doesn't reply for a moment and he sits there as if thinking about something but then he bounds to his feet.

"That is none of your concern demon like the devil which would dare lay their hands on my friends I will smite you!" He yells before lunging towards her gaining him a knee to the gut. "Yeah right! When you can beat me in the fight the world will have ended pack your bag already dumbass."

*DON*
With that Miss Red heads up stairs leaving the three of us there "I figure she wouldn't listen if I told her the truth." He says sitting up "but her attacks seem softer than usual...guess she's worried about me going over seas." He lifts his hand up in the air smiling.

"I'm glad I wasn't erased like you said Arik and later when we're alone can you two explain everything about your world to me how everything works to me please." Sir Eton says he seems more serious than before less laid back I find myself nodding like Arik.

He sighs reverting back to his normal-self laughing "man I figured I'd have to beg for you guys to tell me anything." He says flopping onto the couch. "My uncle he runs an antique shop over seas has a bunch of old junk there maybe something we could use to fight back with."

Shaking his head Sir Eton rephrases himself "well more me than you two I'm assuming a devil and angel have a lot more capabilities for things like this than I do." Sir Eton looks at the two of us with a thin smile. "So anyone have any idea how to get overseas?"

Xela Eton...my name is Xela Eton and at this point I'm sitting in my packed room with and angel and a devil. I feel like I should be getting some kind of morality choice at this moment but no both of them are asleep on in the closet Lucia and one on my bed Arik.

There's another reason I'm going through with this abroad thing now other than my uncles antique shop. There's the fact that at the time when Chris told me the number was fifty-two Leon instantly jumped on his phone.
I could be jumping the gun here but I doubt it was to just keep me here in fact because of how things played out I'm sure its not that. The only reason we could be going tomorrow is because of Lucia 'pay check'. Otherwise I'd be waiting a week or so for the tickets to arrive.

No I'm sure of it now that he had the number swapped. If what Arik explained before she went to sleep was true then they can't just snap over there. Because of that he or who he's serving has prepared another way for them to get over there.

Whatever reason they're heading there isn't of importance right now if I'm right then they'll be staying in this city for a week. I lay back closing my eyes the only reason these two are here right now is because of chance right?
Didn't have to me they bumped into I don't know if meeting them will be a curse on me or a blessing but for now they're the only individuals I can count on to get my friends back. And as a last resort... No I won't no matter what lose my humanity I'll show Leon that his choice was wrong that being human can be kick ass to. Though my motto still stands once I'm done with the hard work I'm taking a nice long nap.

*BA-DUM*

'Hold on a moment there are two beautiful women sleeping in my room right now and both of them have rocking bods and killer racks...' I smack myself in the face the hell is wrong with me that's not something I should be thinking about someone I just-

Something grabs me from behind and pulls me into something soft. "Sleep." Arik mutters...!? Wait is she using me as a hug pillow? Should I be happy? I mean she's a devil is this what Lucia meant by tainting my mind? "The one the one the one." My eyes snap open as I look around the best I can from my position. I thought I heard something and worst than that I felt like there were thousands of eyes watching me for a moment there.

I check my door and the demon hasn't shown her face so I'm good there and the closet is closed along with my window. Did I always feel so cautious better yet did I always think perverse like this? I mean yeah I surf the web for 'research' but never diving deep in.

Oh well tomorrow we go on a devil hunt! But my love has called me to her side. Sleep honey I'll be with you soon your sexy man just need to...Looks like I'm already coming what a joy sleep truly...is...
-?-

Regret...Remorse...Pride what am I feeling right now. Looking out at the city I've always lived in with the friends I've grown with. is this what I truly wanted...No doubting my choices are idiotic I've finally obtained what I've always wanted.

If Xela hadn't failed the test then he'd be here to and we could all be together like always. "I left your friend like you asked his corpse might be put on the news soon or maybe...the schools hide it to keep up a good appearance." I kneel as the voice comes closer.

"Your friends won't be waking up for awhile not until we've left that is the others will be happy at our return." They say to me with a smile I nod smiling back. "It seems like that devil you were searching for has left the city already." I say calmly.

They nod "indeed it does but no matter it was only a rumor in the first place and there is not much truth to what that devil holds in the first place." They wave it off grinning "I'm more surprised that my hand hurt after hitting your friend."

Waving the hand they killed Xela with I nod and they continue "its not everyday I get to feel pain like that I'm a bit sad I didn't take them as well but my choice is made." They say with a shrug "make sure you're prepared we have a lot to do." They chuckle as they walk away.

I bow "of course." As they go out of sight I sigh looking out "right I'm no longer human none of these emotions matter anymore I'll become the best servant out there." I put my hand to my chest "I'll make sure of it."

-End First strike-

And that's the end of the first chapter I hope you enjoy. I have been gone for so long been dealing with some real life things you know what I'm talking about...Anyways If you have any suggestions or just want to say something PM me or leave a review I'll be sure to respond to it as soon as possible.

If you know me I always end up making these things a harem if you want that just tell me. Also Issei is in this story I think just booting him isn't how this should be approached not that its bad just not my style. With that being said what's happening now is happening before Issei dies or anything starts up.

Which there's a reason for. But for now I want to know your opinion on this harem business because I don't like stealing females from the actual mc ya know? How I'm writing things now I'm sure I'll be able to get a good answer on what you guys want. I do of course have my own idea but I prefer hearing what you guys want as well.

That being said I do reply to reviews at the end of chapters. And since we have a bit of a original cast right now...

Yarbad shoots up their arms "we can open back up this!" Xela groans from the couch "do we have to?" Yarbad shakes their head "I mean the big man does prefer having us chit chat at the end and talk about things you know play some games have some of the actual cast come on to the show."

Arik "show?" She asks him Yarbad "well we hosted this like a game show before but our usual approach is a kind of relax kind of thing but this time we're gonna be showing some context to some things that might not be answered."

Yarbad snaps and a screen appears showing Lucia hiding behind a pole while looking at Arik. Arik has a stoic expression as she wanders around Lucia trailing behind. As they past by a school Lucia looks over to see something fly off something their arms and another trailing behind holding something smaller.

Lucia looking back to where Arik was jumps realizing she's gone. Looking back at the school she sees her flying towards the roof. "You won't get away!" Lucia yells running into the school Arik turns around looking down confused before landing on the roof.

She pulls out some money looking at the vending machine on the roof she buys the small rice-treat and eats it while Lucia comes up the stairs to find Xela knocked out body. She shakes it for a moment but before we can see what's next the screen turns off.

"See like that." Yarbad says with a smile "why were you shaking my body!" Xela jumps off the couch looking at Lucia who jumps "well you see when I thought you were dead I kind of fell into a panic." She says with a laugh.

"Well we need to end this we're kind of on a tight budget night everyone!" Yarbad says as the screen blacks out. P.S. The program I'm using to write this forces me to edit it a lot to just post it here but I'm already working on the second chapter so you'll see it soon. This is my come back so see ya around.
