Devil Age Fantasy
Chapter 1: Now that's a Firework.
Location: England
Year 2016
"Come on Lisa get a move on or were going to miss the start of the fireworks," Michelle shouted over her shoulder as we ran down a road in a panic.
"All right already Michelle. Sheesh it's like you never seen fireworks before," I yelled back, my voice dripping with sarcasm.
"It's not like I was the one taking for ever to get ready just because I want to impress Jake," She threw me a wicked grin over her shoulder as we rounded a corner, the cold night air was beating against my face, my breathes coming in short sharp gasps.
I was not made for running. Michelle turned her head back to look at me, her long midnight hair blowing into her face. "Well, Lisa, if you would come out more and stop playing games and watching anime all the time, I'd bet you get a boyfriend in no time,"
"I know the difference between real and fiction Michelle, you didn't mind seeing Cloud in final fantasy VII Advent Children did you? And I am pretty sure he is not real," I shot back.
"All right you win," She relented with a dark look. We slowed down to a walk and passed through the gate into the park.
Michelle looked at me and grinned, "We made it, they haven't even started yet." I nodded looking over to the stage where I local band was playing, there was a fenced off area in the middle of the park where the fireworks were having the finishing touches added.
"So Michelle, when are the others going to get here?" I looked over to her. "In about half an hour so," She said, looking distractedly over towards the stage.
"Why don't you pick a spot where we can watch the fireworks and I'll liberate us some drinks while we wait."
"Sounds cool," I nodded in agreement and watched her make a beeline for the stand.
I shook my head at her and Michelle went off to get us some drinks while I started to look for a good spot for us to sit.
As I wondered, aimlessly around, I spotted an empty patch of grass next to the skate park, I pushed my own long blonde hair out of my face, I swear it has a mind of it's own.
As I was walking over to the patch, the fireworks started to go off. I hope Michelle doesn't take too long, they're starting, I thought to myself.
Why does she insist on getting me a boyfriend anyway? A loud bang ripped me from my thoughts and made me jump out of my skin.
"SON OF A BITCH! What type of fireworks are these?" I squeaked, holding a hand to my racing heart.
As I look around everyone is looking towards the fenced off area that had been set up. I took a few steps closer to the clearing, an eerie green light was coming from the area.
Curiosity took over self-preservation and I made my way towards it. What the hell is that? As I got closer I got a better look at the light, it looked like the atmosphere itself had been taken and slowly pulled apart, revealing a green underneath.
The air practically crackled the closer I got and many people simply backed away. Some were running.
As we were all looking at the strange green shimmering thing floating a few metres off the grass, it started vibrate.
The remaining crowd screamed and parted as rock flew from it, causing craters to appear where it strikes and for mud and debris to go flying in all directions.
"HOLY SHIT!" I screamed and looked desperately around for Michelle.
I dodge one of the rocks that went past me, landing hard on the ground.
I look up to see the strange thing has sent out a thin green beam of the same green light it was made from.
I watched on in horror as a 20 foot monster materialized. It was huge, its skin was a grey purple, the ground shook with each step it took. Its head seemed to be a tad smaller than the rest of its body and held unintelligent eyes which were scanning the crowd, for what, I have no idea.
It let out a guttural roar and continued to look around, as though searching for something. Oh crap, please tell me it is not coming this way.
As I scramble to get up, I hear someone calling out to me over the screaming.
I look to my left and see Michelle waving frantically at me. "Lisa! Come on, this way, hurry!" As Michelle said that, she screamed as a bolt of lightning strikes in front of her sending her flying into another person.
"MICHELLE NO!" I screamed. I start to run to her, I looked behind me to see the demon just behind me. "Fuck, fuck, fuck," I chanted as I turn to see Michelle getting back up to run towards me, limping slightly.
The demon roared, I whirled around again to see its hand reach out, it swung its massive hand around and I screamed as it connected with my side.
The world seemed to fly past me as I was hurled through the air. I am engulfed in an encompassing green light and all I see is darkness.
"Hello? Is anybody there HELLLOOO!" No one replied as I tried to see something, anything.
There was nothing but darkness, I closed my eyes for a second, reopening them and hoped that they would readjust to the light.
OWWW that fucking hurt. I grimaced as I tested my shoulder gingerly.
I look up at the sky, it was black and green. "Of course it is," I muttered to myself.
After a minute or two I started to get up and look around and all I see is rock.
It was almost as if I was in some mountain track, only with a lot more mysterious glowing things.
Where the hell am I? This is not the park.
As I am trying to figure out where I am I start to feel this warm breeze on the back of my neck.
I let out a shaky breath and slowly I turn around i am to be greeted to a lot of teeth.
Oh shit.
A massive roar shook the very ground.
"FUCK MEEEEEEE!"
