Just a note that if you don't get the description of the beds, look up the 'Orange is the new black beds' and it's set up like that.
And in this story, Amaimon didn't turn into a hamster after being defeated by Rin.
And too people that read my other stories that are unfinished, the stories are on hiatus because I'm having trouble writing for that fandom right now but one day they will be finished.
Rin looked down at his wrists, they were handcuffed to the chair in front of him, as were his feet. They had been restrained by exorcists of the true cross that morning while they were in class, they had taken Yukio and all of his classmates as well. They had hoped Mephisto, the director, would be able to do something to help them but their hopes were quickly dashed when they were informed that he had been arrested as well. Rin looked up at said demon, who was sitting next to him, still with that calm smirk that never seemed to leave his face. He as well was cuffed to the seat in front of him, they were on a boat, heading straight out to sea and no one seemed to have any idea what was going on. The seats were all in rows, like a bus, and at the front was a cage where two exorcists acting as guards stood with two heavy duty weapons. Rin sighed and looked out the window "Do you know what's going on?" he asked, "You have one of those knowing smirks on your face."
Mephisto chuckled slightly "Actually no I don't, for once, I really have no idea what the true cross is trying to do here."
He heard Shiemi who was sitting behind them next to Izumo yell "Excuse me, can I have a sick bag, I get sea sick and I think I'm going to throw up!"
The guards just ignored her.
Rin growled "Hey man, she might be sick, don't you even care?!" he demanded.
"We don't care for scum like you," one said gruffly.
"She's not like me, she's normal!" he said, thinking they were talking about demons.
"She's a traitor to the human race and in my book that makes her about the same level as you," he growled back and Rin back down in confusion.
"My, my, that's not a good sign," Mephisto murmured, almost to himself, he turned slightly to look back at Shiemi "Don't get any on the shoes," was all he said.
It didn't take long to hear the sound of Shiemi vomiting onto the floor of the aisle and gasps of disgust filling the boat but still, the guards did nothing. Rin looked back out the back windows of the boat, true cross academy was almost just a spec in the distance "Wow, we're pretty far out," he commented.
Mephisto looked back to see and Rin could have sworn he saw a flash of sadness across the director's face but it was gone too quick "They better have a good reason for this," he muttered.
Rin now went back to looking forward, awaiting anything to show up in the distance and after half an hour of nothing on the horizon in any direction, he spotted a small gray dot approaching the boat. As it got closer, he made it out to be a gigantic concrete building in the middle of the ocean, Mephisto frowned slightly "Now how did they do this without my knowledge?"
The boat finally reached the building, which he could now see to be the size of a football field and about ten stories high with nearly not windows. The guards unlocked the cage to step into the aisle and began unlocking everyone's cuffs from the seat to the person in front of them, after this was finished they orders people to come out in rows, one at a time, all connected to the person in front of them by long chains. The platform they stepped onto was built just on top of the water, with stairs leading up to the rest of the building which was about thirty feet about the water. There were about forty people now standing on the platform, not including the guards, most of them were demons and only a handful were human. Each line had ten people in it, and fortunately, Rin was in a line with everyone from cram school and Mephisto. Two more guards joined them and each guard grabbed the arm of the first person in line, in their case, Mephisto, and pulled them along up the stairs one by one. Inside the building the lines split into pairs, walking in opposite directions, down two corridors and then the pairs split up again when the corridor split.
They arrived at the end of the hall where they all were forced to sit on a bench against the wall next to a counter that a woman stood behind, the guard stood in front of them "Ok you're probably all wondering why you are here and where here is. This is a prison, designed to hold demons and anyone known to have associated with them. Now each one of you are going to walk up to this counter one by one, to get your uniforms and essentials, I will then escort you around the block to show you how things are run around here. Pheles, you're up first," he said and unlocked the demons cuffs and watched him closely as he approached the woman standing next to the counter.
Everyone listened and watched, the women approached him and grabbed his head pulling it to the side and examining his ears. Mephisto growled at being touched and was about to protest when she moved his head and pried open his mouth to see his teeth "Lift up your tongue," she ordered and he did as he was told. After looking through his mouth, she turned him around and lift up his shirt, she pulled out a long purple tail that had been wrapped around his stomach and gave it a yank. He yelped and pulled his tail back "Leave your tail out, wrapping it around the stomach is not allowed," she said and grabbed a clipboard from the counter "Name?"
"Mephisto Pheles," he replied.
She wrote it down but looked back up at him "Real name?"
He sighed after a pause "Samael," he said begrudgingly.
She continued to write "Demon prince?" she asked.
"Yes."
"Ok, we only have two of your brothers here so far, king of what?"
Mephisto assumed she meant Rin and Yukio, his half-brothers, so he continued without fault "King of time," he said.
"Ok, I'll need you to strip down to your underwear."
"What?" he asked horrified.
"Strip down to your underwear," she repeated. He hesitantly obeyed taking off his hat slowly, closely followed by the rest of his clothes. It was weird for the students to see him without his dramatic clothes on, if he hadn't had the tail, he could almost pass for a normal, sane human being. The woman took his measurements and grabbed a crimson red uniform from the counter and gave it to him to change into. The uniform consisted of a short sleeve v neck shirt and a pair of too large pants in the same crimson color, with of course a matching pair of slip on shoes, the pants also had a small hole which the lady pulled his tail through so it didn't get stuck in his pants. Mephisto did not look pleased with the new style.
"Are we done now?" he growled, losing his calm and collected façade.
"No, one more thing," she grabbed a container of colored strips and a large sheet she printed out from a small computer, she turned him around and place the sheet over the back of his shirt. She pulled it off a moment later and it left the words 'MEPHISTO PHELES, LEVEL 4, ESCAPE RISK' in big bold black letters. Next, she grabbed the colored strips and place three on the sleeve of his shirt, which printed an orange, pink and green stripe on it "You're done, stand over there."
He moved to a bench on the other side of the corridor and sat, uncomfortable in the new clothes.
The guard now pointed to Bon "Suguro, you're up next."
Bon complied, looking angry as usual. The women went through the same process as Mephisto, when she lifted his shirt there was no tail to yank. She tore Mephisto's page off the clipboard and began the process of information "Name?"
"Ryuji Suguro."
"Ok, strip," she said, the humans were the quickest to process. She took his measurements and handed him a dark blue uniform. She printed on his back 'RYUJI SUGURO, LEVEL 1, CONFLICT RISK' and put a pink and a yellow stripe on his sleeve and ordered him to sit next to Mephisto.
After everyone was done, they all had their details printed on their backs and colors on their sleeves:
'RIN OKUMURA, LEVEL 3, CONFLICT RISK', crimson uniform with a yellow and a pink stripe.
'YUKIO OKUMURA, LEVEL 2' blue uniform with a pink stripe.
'SHIEMI MORIYAMA, LEVEL 1' blue uniform with a pink stripe.
'IZUMO KAMIKI, LEVEL 1' blue uniform with a pink stripe.
'RENZO SHIMA, LEVEL 1' blue uniform with a pink stripe.
And then there were a few other crimson uniformed people.
"Hey, what do the stripes mean?" Bon asked as the guard now lead them through another concrete corridor.
The guard didn't answer and led the to a large open room with rows of bunk beds, there were about fifty, meaning one hundred people could live in here. All of the bed were in small cubical which were separated by half walls, in each cubical there were two beds on each side with a small shelf on the wall and a short cabinet near the entrance. "These are where you'll be staying, there are five bunks over in the corner there," he pointed to some of the cubicles in a dark corner of the room "The bathrooms are over there, woman to the left, men to the right, through that corridor is the cafeteria which is only open for an hour at meal times and opposite that you have the recreational room. Past those there is a door that leads to the outside platform, you only get to use this for two hours a day, other than that it's only the recreation room, bathrooms and living quarters that are available. We will have an inmate come and give you the supplies you need and explain the rules in ten minutes, so pick your beds quickly," the guard finished and walked off to leave them to figure out their arrangements.
Rin was top bunk with Yukio on the bottom, Izumo was top with Bon on the bottom, Shima was top with Mephisto on the bottom and Izumo was top with one of the demons that had arrived with them as no one else wanted to bunk with her, at least Mephisto was somewhat nice. They now all sat there waiting for the inmate to arrive, it felt like they were waiting for a miracle, someone who would tell them what the hell was going on. Mephisto held his chin in his hand and stared off into space, trying to figure out was happened when a monotone voice asked "Brother?"
He looked up to find his little brother, Amaimon, standing there with a big crate in his hands, his eyes widened, he hadn't seen his brother since he had been defeated by Rin, he thought he was dead. He stood from the bed and gave his brother a tight hug, he would never admit it but he had become quite attached to the little guy during his stay in Mephisto's mansion and missed him terribly after Rin had killed him, but apparently, he hadn't.
Amaimon looked surprised at his brother's affection "Are you okay?" he asked, "You're acting weird."
"I just…happy to see that I'm not the only demon prince in this place," he said, only half admitting to being happy Amaimon was here "How did you get here?"
"I was caught right after my fight with Okumura, I've been here for about six months," he replied.
So that's why he never showed up again, he was here. Mephisto stood back and took in his brother's appearance, his hair was still the same and the boy had somehow managed to keep his green arm warmers, he was wearing the same crimson uniform but was missing the shoes and on his sleeve were yellow, orange, green and purple but no pink and on his back it said 'AMAIMON, LEVEL 5, ESCAPE RISK, CONFLICT RISK'.
"Here's your stuff," he said setting the crate on one of the cabinets "A tooth brush, tooth paste, soap, shampoo, underwear, another uniform, sleep clothes, another pair of shoes and the sheets for your bed. Some other people are bringing through crates for the rest of you, you have to give the crates back to the guard over there."
After they had all set up their beds and returned the crates, Mephisto gathered all of the students into the cubicle that had no strangers in it and got Amaimon to sit down on his bed "Explain everything," he demanded and everyone else seemed desperate to know as well.
"There's a new guy running the true cross, he wants to rid the world of demons and anyone who supports them, he originally intended to kill us all but he was outvoted by other exorcists."
"So they decided to lock us all up here?"
"Any demon who sets foot in Assiah and any human who aids them is brought here, yes," Amaimon said "I have to explain the rule to you now," he started "Rule one, there is to be no conflict of any kind, rule two, no contraband will be tolerated, rule three, at meal times demons must only eat demons food and humans must only eat human food, rule four, always make sure your name, level, and colors are not covered up, rule five, you can only go onto the outside platform during the two hours assigned. Any questions?"
Bon spoke up first "What do the colored stripes mean?" he demanded.
"Well each color has some meaning that guards need to know about you, you all have the pink stripe which represents an inmate who has had training in exorcism, orange means that the demon that wears it is a demon king of something, green is for a demon prince which at only demons who are sons of satan, yellow means prone to violence and purple is for someone who needs a guard watching them all the time," Amaimon explained.
"Why don't I have a green stripe?" Rin demanded, feeling like a lesser demon to Amaimon and Mephisto.
"You are only half demon, you are not eligible to be a demon prince, that is also why you are not a demon king of anything," Amaimon said flatly.
"What about the levels?" Shiemi asked.
"That is your security level, it is based on how smart, violent or strong you are, anything level 4 or above is an escape risk," he continued explaining "There are levels 1 to 5. If you take Rin as an example, he is violent and somewhat powerful but he is stupid and weak without his sword, so he was given level three. Whereas brother was given level 4 because he is smart and powerful but avoids being involved in conflict and his powers will not do much to aid an escape."
Mephisto frowned "Hey, my powers are awesome!"
Amaimon just stared back at him. There was a loud buzzing sound that rang through the room, and all the inmate got off their beds and raced towards the corridor that led to the cafeteria and recreational room "That's dinner," Amaimon said and joined in the race to get food.
Yukio groaned, watching the flock of demons and human squishing through the door "This is going to be difficult," and stood up with the rest and walked slowly towards the rampaging hungry demons and terrified humans.
