This aside, I really hope you all enjoy the story~
Prologue: a few years back
" ... S-Sean? "
The fallen angel asked, slowly lifting his head and looking around. Finding his fallen friends around him. One, a scorpion humanoid, and another, a fire shadow demon.
The scorpion humanoid, had short silver hair with a single purple lock combed back, a purple headband right above his forehead. He wore a white tank top, black sweat bands, a purple martial arts belt tied around his waist, light grey pants and black shoes. He also had a long purple scorpion tail with a sharp stinger, and soft silver eyes.
The demon, had deep red flaming hair, deep black skin, a black torn jacket, a long red shirt torn at the rim, black jeans and black and red colored boots. He also had red irises without pupils and grey sclera.
And finally the fallen angel: this fallen angel had snowy white hair, a very light grey top with a blue thunder bolt on the front, black jeans with blue pockets, very light blue shoes. This fallen boy had a grey iris with no pupil and blue sclera, and his left eye, was closed shut by a nasty scar over it. He also had deep blue, tear drop shaped crystals on the back of each hand, rather beautiful to see.
" Yeah...? "
The demon responded to the other, or Sean really. Slowly rolling over so he was on his own stomach and pushing himself up to a sitting position in his knees.
" Are you alright? "
" Yeah I'm fine. "
" Lance? "
The scorpion slowly got to his feet now, stretching out mildly as he did so. Lance, as he was now know. Softly speaking.
" Yep. I'm alive. "
" How about you Nathan? "
Sean asked coolly, getting to his own feet now. The fallen angel, Nathan, smiling to this and getting up as well.
" I'm fine, thank you. "
" So, where exactly ARE we? "
Lance asked, amazingly getting a huff out of Sean.
" Ain't it obvious Lance? We're in hell! "
Nathan panicked a little to hearing this, quickly whipping around and taking a look around the area. Everything was dark, and in ruins. No buildings in sight, and what appeared to be fire in various pits. Demons and tortured, I recognizable beings walked around, and hence, proved Sean's theory. They were, without a doubt, in hell.
" ... Well. "
Lance said lowly, crossing his arms. Looking like he was TRYING to stay cool. After all, they all had a decent idea why they wound up HERE when they died.
" What now? "
Almost as soon as they said this, they heard a LOUD BOOM, looking up in an instant to find... an orange and yellow haired fire demon up there, with torn blue wings, throwing HEAVY fire at some demons. On the rare occasion some hellfire too.
" Stop questioning me! "
The fire demon snapped, snapping his fingers and pointing up to a black portal.
" Now, get through the portal to Nerezza NOW! We've got some angels to fight! "
As the minor demons shrieked a little and did as they were told, the demon flying up towards them and through the portal. The trio just staring blankly before Sean got out.
" Well. I guess that there was hells King. Leeeeets avoid that guy. "
The duo nodded to this without complaint.
A couple days went by since then, three to be exact, and the trio still weren't 100% on where they were going. All they knew was they had to avoid that fire demon- which they'd learned went by the name of Septimus Winter- and some of the more, insane demons. Which, was easier said than done, but still. They weren't doing half bad.
They were learning a lot too. Like, what they could safely drink and eat, and they learned that they needed to keep moving if they didn't have a place to stay. Still. They kept running into the crazy demons, so they'd have to figure out how to keep out of their sights and SOON.
Slowly they stopped their walking for a moment and began trying to gather their bearings. They'd been walking for a long time now, going seemingly no where fast. They really DID need to find a place to rest. And soon.
Suddenly, something knocked Sean RIGHT OFF his feet. Lance and Nathan, a bit SHOCKED to find someone had run right into Sean. The other, slowly getting off of Sean and snapping out.
" Aw, d*** it! Another demon! They're everywhere! "
The boy, now clearly seen as a vampire, pounced away from Sean, standing beside his vampire companion. This vampire had messy white hair with black tipped bangs, which completely covered his forehead and left eye. He wore a torn up black suit, torn deep purple wristbands, a silver collar, a silver belt, silver shoes and a torn up, almost raggy green cape. His eyes were red, and he seemed to be constantly scowling.
The shorter one was darker looking with a deep blue hooded cape on with red on the inside, and covered most of his face.
summoning a small ball of magic into his hands.
" Well, this should be quick. "
The three, surprised when the bat beside him put his arm in front of him, saying calmly.
" Don't. "
" Why not?! He's a DEMON Wyatt! "
" He's no threat. Trust me. They're new here. "
The bat put his hands down, magic fading, hands on his hips and saying in a snap.
" Oh, and how do you know that? "
" Because, Laim, they're clearly confused. And... because I'm smarter than you. "
The trio, here... were a bit stooped. Amazed, and bit awkward in the turn of events. And, that remark there from the hooded guys. Whilst both Sean and Lance snickered, softly. Nathan here, began to speak, gently.
" U-Uh, yeah. Yes you're right. See, my friends and I are new here and have been wonderin' round hell recently, keepin' on the lay low and survival. That stuff. And also, seein' how you're not a threat either, really. I'm Nathan Hollow. And these two, snickering here, Sean Slather and Lance Stinger."
Nathan introduced for them all here. Whilst rolled his eyes, lightly to the two. Wyatt nodded gently to this, Laim walking over and saying coolly.
" I'm Laim Evans. And this, is Wyatt Cruz. Sorry bout all that, ah, Sean. It's just, the demons around here tend to be the dangerous crazy ones. We try to steer clear of them, as we don't tend to stand a chance to them. "
" Well you don't... " Wyatt said lowly, looking off to the right. Laim, sighing a bit to this and turning to him.
" Must you be sarcastic now? Seriously man. "
Turning back to them all, smiling coolly.
" So you're all new here huh? If I can ask, how did y'all die? "
Just like that... the trio, remember that, very "fond" memory with ease. The cause of their, "natural" deaths. Nathan looked down, hands fisting and frowned. Yet, held a bitter, anger inside.
" We, we were killed in a house fire. Which was, done, by a someone we know of... "
Nathan said softly. Then Sean, who speaks then. Anger in his voice, while his hair lit bit brightly flaring.
" An' that "someone" was our boss. Our EX-boss now. * Growls* Tha' backstabbing, long-haired, lame excuse of a guy. The NERVE to lit our hang out, which we kept secret from him, while we passed out from our partying. Just to see him, with that sadistic, evil face as he watched us burn to our deaths... Grrragh! I hate em, hate Thanatos Acher with a FIERY HATE! "
Sean bellowed here.
" He was always lame. Even back as kids he was STILL a snot lame loser. Can't believe we had a pansy, drag queen, H*** as our "said-leader". If here right now... Ka-yaaah! "
Lance attacked a stone point, with the hard punch from him. All three in boiling, depth raising hatred for their "leader" even more.
Laim recoiled to this, wincing and saying lightly.
" A-ah... sorry bout that guys. Didn't realize it was such a death. "
" My apologies for Laim's stupid question. "
Wyatt said lowly, getting a glare from the other.
" You aren't the only ones who died so horribly though. At the hands of such a prick of a so called, self proclaimed "leader". "
" Seriously though, sorry about asking that. Do feel bad for that. "
The three having had calmed down again, looked at the two, while Nathan spoke gently.
" It's cool, guys. Though really? You've been through the same as us. Ah, am sorry for that. "
Curious, Sean says then.
" A "leader" too, eh. jacka** pompous prick I bet. "
" Hooo yeah. "
Laim growled.
" Jacka**, pompous, annoying, freaky prick! "
" Did he lock you and burned you guys to death, too? "
Lance asks here, to them. Though, to hearing Lances question, both shook their heads. Laim, still fuming and Wyatt answering lowly.
" No. Not in a fire. He locked us in the basement, and tortured us. For hours on end before we finally died. "
" When we were only 13 no less. "
Laim hissed, fangs gritted very tight.
" D*** shadow-vampire! So what IF he became a shadow demon?! Didn't mean he could just take us back! Seriously, vanishing for 3 years, showing up again as a half shadow demon and DEMANDING we follow him again?! Hell no! That self proclaimed b*** of a leader! We NEVER liked him! The only reason we followed him was-! "
" Was so he wouldn't pick on us too. "
Wyatt hissed coolly, turning to the left.
" No good freaky vamp, torturing us... Pfft. Wish we could kill that d*** bat. Freakin Dean Shadows... hope some angel ends him for us. He'll knows he deserves it. "
Laim, calming slightly, said gently.
" I'm... still surprised you lasted longer than me man. I only lasted 2 hours... how long was it for you?"
" 6. "
To hearing this, the trio... we're just, Shocked. Taken BACK by how their deaths... Were so much, more extreme. And probably, more painful than theirs.
" D-D***. Dudes... That's just cold. Cold, messy and cold heartless. "
Lance softly uttered. Sean here, felt angry again, this time at that Shadow-vamp.
" Coward. A totally, wussy coward he is. 'Cuz he's a half shadow demon. Hah! Totally lil' tiny *** I'd like to meet him and see how he'd go against a fire/shadow demon. I'd whoop his sorry *** any day, any time. "
" Yeah. "
Laim agreed with Lance and Sean.
" Not to mention he's a total f***ing psychopath now. The demons around here speak fondly of him, as he was responsible for a good deal of their deaths. Apparently, he kills for fun now. Doesn't help that he has a GIANT A** HAMMER at his disposal! "
Growling lightly there, calming soon after. Nathan frowned. Feeling bad now for Laim and Wyatt, softly speaking up.
" Aw guys, I'm really sorry for that... How extreme. That's WAY more heartless, as well more cruel, than what Thanatos did to us... H-Hold on. Your boss- Was he always a half shadow demon? Cause you said he showed, up after three years, and... "
To Nathan's question, Laim's expression softened, saying softly.
" Actually, no. He wasn't, always, a half demon. When we were in school with him, he was just a normal vampire- well. Sort of. See, Wyatt can sense another's aura, or power. "
" There was always something off about him, but I couldn't figure it out. "
Wyatt said softly.
" He, just felt stronger than he should be. Hence, why we followed him. We knew he was stronger than us. "
" Anyway. When we were 10, him 11, he just... vanished. Out of the blue. Three years later, he showed up again. Only, a half shadow demon. We don't know what happened, or how he was able to become half shadow demon. But. He is one now, and a STRONG one at that. "
" I, had the theory, of the alpha shadow demon Jack Bannette, being the one to make him half shadow demon, but,... I don't want to believe it. It's, a scary thought. Vampire, and half alpha shadow demon. "
Wyatt finished, looking down, as if in thought. The trio, were rather surprised to learn how, this Dean was originally just a vampire. Only, by aura, he was rather more powerful than normal. Then, with learning the other's "disappearing act". And then, returning unexpectedly after them 3 years later... as a half, shadow demon. And that... With the thought. Possibility of how he's able to become...
" Jack... Bannette? The Alpha shadow demon. "
Nathan spoke here, softly. Amazement, surprise softly on his features.
" Never knew of him before, honestly. "
" ALPHA shadow demon?! Ooh, man... "
Sean here, heh. Eyes held a sparkle of awe, amazement and excitement. Smile bright as his fire.
" That, is soo, COOL! Oh boy, what I'd give to meet that Banette fellow. He must be an interesting guy, I bet~ "
" But, even IF he were a half shadow alpha demon, and vampire. "
Lance started off, gently.
" He couldn't really be THAT powerful. I mean, if were to face an ARMY of opponents, am sure even this Shadows guy would have some toughie. Bet. If he'd face off against all three of us, and even you two with us, together we could beat him. "
" Yeeeeah... "
Laim drawled out, smiling a bit evilly.
" Half demon or not, even HE couldn't stop all of us. Doesn't help that one of us is half shadow demon too. Hah! He'd have nothing he could throw at us that we couldn't handle! You'd really help us out?! "
" We'd repay the favor if you'd like. "
Wyatt said lowly, still holding no emotion.
" We could help you take out that Thanatos guy. He doesn't seem all too powerful. It would be a piece of cake. "
Sean here. Smiling bit sadistically-evil, excited too.
" Why, course we'll help ya two out. An' as for repay, we'd LOVE some assistance from such cool guys as yourselves, to take down our ex-boss. "
Lance here too, all excited also. Fist punched into his hand.
" Well, it's settled! We just gotta get a way put of this d*** place an' get both of our revenge. It's gonna be prettty sweet. "
" Yeah! "
Laim cheered out to the twos remarks, raising his fist into the air.
" We'll kick some pompous vampire a**es! "
Nathan chuckled to this, and While in agreement too. Just, here now.
" Although. I'm a lil' bit curious, here: "
He gently asks Wyatt, soft wonder on his face.
" Still. You look so... calm. Calm, and still, no emotion nor feel displayed, so far. "
That gotten to the two too. Lance who then says.
" Yeah. Ya always cool as a cucumber, there? "
Wyatt blinked calmly To them two, tilted his head a bit. Saying lowly.
" Yes. Always. Always will be too. Always... cooool. "
Arms flowing out like waves, he soon let them fall back to his sides, Laim chuckling to his besties action there. Turning to the others and saying gently.
" Ahh... that's Wyatt for ya. Calm, wicked smart, and... sarcastic in his own way. Has been ever since I met him. You'll get used to it though, TRUST me. "
" Heheh. No worryin' there, Laim. "
Sean, arms crossed, smirks lightly.
" I think I can get used to ya bud, real fine. As well, am sure my two buds will too. Right? "
" Ghehe. Ya bet, man. "
Lance winks at Sean. While Nathan giggled with his hand behind his mouth. Laim chuckled to this, playfully slugging Wyatt's shoulder. The hooded vamp, kiiiind of giving him the stink eye. Now laughing completely before composing, saying gently.
" Anyway. If you'd like, we can show you around hell. Let ya know what to go towards, and what to avoid. Also, no offense to Sean, but the demons here are for SURE an avoid. "
Sean here, rolls his eyes there, playfully.
" None taken. Despite me bein' a demon, I think I've JUST enough sanity in me. "
Nathan goes up slightly closer, to the two, speaking to Nathan.
" That would be a great help, Laim. And ya know what? I think this might be the start of a budding, friendship. "
Nathan finished there, sweetly. Which made Lance giggle here, background. Laim chuckled a bit here, turning half way and, still looking at Nathan, said gently.
" Ya know? It just might be. "
Giving him a wink (or what they assumed to be one), now turned completely and began walking.
" Now, come on. We'll give you, the "Grand Tour" of hell. "
Aaaand done! Phew...
