Location Unknown.

Gut looked around franticly, they where everywhere. He was surrounded by demons, covered in head to toe in the blood of his friends and allies that had been devoured, eaten alive, ripped to pieces and impaled by the demons.

Guts P.O.V

I´m going to rip them to shreds for what they did but then I saw him, Griffith but he had large bat like wings instead of the white cape he normally wore.

i saw him raise his arm and I saw Casca get lowered down by dark tentacles towards Griffith.

"What are you doing?" I yelled as I saw him start to touch her, he then started to touch her breasts causing her to scream in pain.

"Stop it!" I screamed and started to run towards him but I was stopped in my tracks as í felt a searing pain in my arm.

I looked down to see a demon had bitten down on my arm and held me in place.

I looked up again and saw him forcefully take her face and kiss her.

The rage I felt then was overwhelming, all I could think of was stopping him. I started to stab demon´s teeth with the sword until it broke in half.

There was only one other option and with a scream I started to cut of my arm.

The blade was dull and it would take several swings to cut through the bone.

The pain of steel cutting through my arm was nonexistent as my burning hatred nulled my pain and after several cuts I started to pull and with a sickening sound I ripped off my arm and started to run towards Griffith.

I was closing in ready to kill him when I felt myself get grabbed by demons and pined to the ground and I felt a hand with claws grab a hold of my head.

i was trapped, there was nothing i could do but too watch as the woman i loved was raped by the the man i once knew and valued as a friend.

I saw her look at with tears in her eyes and say don´t look. I felt my eyes starting to water as I slowly saw one of the claws sink into my eye.

The image of Casca slowly faded away as blood filled my vision. I looked up at the sky and screamed, I screamed of pain, of anger and sadness.

I roared towards the heavens at the eclipsed sun and saw cracks appear as if it was about to break.

Everything got quiet as I saw the eclipse shatter and out from it I saw a Knight. I could make out that he was a skeleton with burning red eyes, I felt him grab me and then everything went black.

Location Godo´s house

Guts P.O.V

When I woke up I looked around and saw that I was in Godo´s house, I looked down and saw my arm was missing the memorys flooded back as I stood up.

Casca! I yelled as I looked around frantically to see Godo´s daughter Erica standing beside me and said with a with a sad expression.

I grabbed her and shouted "where is she, WHERE´S CASCA!" she backed up and smiled "oh Guts your awake Cascas right there".

i looked towards where Erica pointed there she was the water flowing through her hair as she took a shower in the waterfall.

I stood up and walked towards her, stretched out my hand to touch her.

"Casca" upon hearing her name she turned around to face me but as i got closer she moved back with fear in her eyes.

I grabbed her arm to try and calm her down only too feel a sharp pain as her teeth sunk inte my finger.

as soon as I let go she ran away from me and hid behind Erica.

I looked up too se Rickert "she does´t seem to remember who you are or me either i suppose, she´s been like this since she woke up, what happend?"

I looked down at my arm and then back to Casca who was laughing happly as Erica stroke her head. This can´t be real why, why WHY did this happen?

I turned around and ran ignoring Ericas screams, I ran for what seemed to be hours.

I could see them The Hawks my family, Pippin, Corkus, Judeo, Griffith and Casca.

I collapsed on a large grassy field and screamed out in pain too the sky.

after what felt like an eternity I looked up, as I felt a burning pain in my neck and when I looked down I saw spirits start to gather around me.

They started to grab me and one started to merge with me to possess my body, I started to yell and then I heard a deep voice say

"Steel yourself branded one or else you will be consumed"

I focused every part of my body to drive out the spirits and with a flash of lightning the left my body.

The skull knight looked at me and spoke

You bear the brand of sacrifice, those who receive it are marked as an offering to the demons, that is your fate, your Destiny.

To hell with fate or destiny I said angrily and grabbed the sword that the Skull knight carried at his side.

I started to cut down the spirits as blood started dripping from my eye.

After a minute of killing them I said

"This is war, it is nothing I can´t handle, nothing has changed"

"Hmm you are strong struggler others would have already been consumed" the Skull knight said to himself when I finally destroyed the last spirit.

I looked up as I saw the sun rise over the horizon and I knew what I was going to do.

"I will eradicate every last Apostle, I will kill Him.

Time Skip.

I knew I needed new equipment if I was going to do this and thankfully Godo was willing to aid me.

as I began to put on the new set of armor which consisted of a black cheastplate, shoulderpads, a belt of throwing knifes Rickert asked me

"Can you use knifes ´Guts?" I began to put on a cape as I responded "yea I had Judeau teach me the ropes along time ago. it´s not my style as far as we went. but it might be something I need this time"

there I said to myself as I stood up fully armored but still missing an arm but my thought where interrupted by Erica´s Voice "say, why are your clothes and armor all black. I turn my head to her "there is no way I could tell her the real reason I thought" so a told her a partial truth "because I will be fighting in lots of dark places. They... are in the darkness"

as I was about to walk out the door Rickert told me to wait and give him my arm. I let him hold it as he attached a new artificial of metal.

"an artificial arm huh? it´s groovy" I thought out loud to my self.

"and here´s a little reason why it´s groovy" i turn my head to Rickert and saw him carry a crossbow of some sort.

"he attached it to my new arm and said face the rock there and pull that metal part on this side".

Just as i was about to do as Rickert said Godo appeared in the opening of the door "Ahh your getting ready i see?" he responded as i heard Rickert and Erica start to scream in panic.

Godo walked up too greet me and in his hand was a sword "my Farewell gift. Take it and go. i don´t know who your goin´off ´to fight or where. but you won´t get far without this." He held the sword out too me "it´s not my best but it´s damn fine. if your careful with it, it shouldn´t nick at all"

I grabbed it and and looked around me and saw a sword on an anvil. i gripped the sword with both hands and swung at the other sword and to my satisfaction my blade cut straight through the other sword. "How about it" i Heard Godo ask.

I was about to respond as i felt a Sharp pain from the brand on my neck, i put my fingers on the brand only too feel a warm liquid dripping from it.

"Found You" i turned my head to the door at the strangers voice.

in the the doorframe i saw a man but Before my Eyes he started to transfom. as he started to walk towards us chanting the Words SACRIFICE,SACRIFICE over and over again i realised that he was one of the demons, one of the Apostles.

EVERYONE STAY BACK! I shouted as a bloodthirsty smile creept on my face.

this is my lucky day the first one to die, and with a furious roar i charged the Apostle and delivered a powerful strike to his stomach.

he fell backwards and crashed through the wall as i looked out i saw him start to get back up "This is the first in my hunt" i said to myself.

i rushed toward the apostle once more this time i managed to cutt of his arm "WITH THIS SWORD I CAN KILL IT!" i shouted as i delivered blow after blow as his intestines spilled out of his stomach "just a little more" I thought but then I heard a crack as my sword broke i looked down and saw a broken hilt.

I bearly had time to react as i was flung through the air and crashed through a wall.

I was on the floor was this it no i thought i don´t think so, if im gonna die then why the hell did i survive!

I stood up and faced the apostle i then i heard Rickert shout GUTS, YOUR ARTIFICAL ARM! POINT IT AT THAT THING HURRY!

PULL THE METAL PART AT THE BASE! i pointed my arm towards the apostle and i pulled the base.

To my surprise the hand fell down and revealed a cannon. I heard a earthshattering boom ringing through the building as the cannon blew a hole in it´s head.

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDIN`ME, WOW i yelled, then i i started to feel a searing pain in my arm "MY SHOULDER IT´S OUT OF JONT.

My eyes fell on a peice of metal it was a humongous sword, this is more like it i smirked as i grabbed it and charged the apostle and clevead right through his head.

i watched his body crumble to the ground in a bloody pile. i smiled and turned to to say " you held out on me Godo. YOU GOT SOMETHIN´MUCH BETTER SUTID TO MY FIGHT" they all looked at me in surprise "you can wield that thing. you´re just full of surpises" Godo exclaimed.

i turned to leave but i was once again stopped by Rickert he took a Deep breath... "Guts listen maybe you should stay here , I don´t want to belive it.

I didn´t want to admit it. but The Band Of The Hawk ia gone"

" I know it sound harsh but instead of getting revenge for dead people you need to be here for Casca"

i sighed and looked him in the eyes, "The Band Of The Hawk ain´t gone yet. WE´RE still here. This war ain´t over yet we lost our leader.

Im the capten of the raiders... so i´ll raid the camp right?"

I then turned around and walked away lost in thought, " revenge... war...maybe any reason was good enough, but one thing is for sure. right now...there´somedismal rage inside me... and thats all there is... supporting these two feet. it pushes me... to walk onwards.
