Welcome back folks! Now I actually am surprised, but I have gotten four comments, ten followers and nine favourites! I actually have hope for this! Thank you all!
Stove fire Elfin: I understand where you are coming from. The thing is that I need it to start out the same so that I have a plot line to go on with, but now that that part is done, I can start changing what happens. For example: I don't plan on having him meet Asia the same way. They will meet, but not what the original does. Please give this story a chance to evolve.
RevansStory: thanks for the compliment! And I don't plan on it, but if I get enough people, say about 10, then I might bring in the name Esdeath with the same relationship with my OC as in Akame Ga Kill. Though it won't be exactly her since this isn't a crossover, but still.
Cole shiryu: There is actually a good reason for this decision. As much as Rias is used, she is going to end up…distant soon. In a future arc I plan on doing, Tatsumi is going to become a stray for a while. With Sona, she would feel bad, but she would feel that killing him must be done. With Rias then I can build on a bit more character. Arguably, you can do that to Sona too, but I felt it would be more impactful on Rias.
mattw2017: I will, so watch out for more!
Chapter 2: Trials Of A Devil
Dream or Other Dimension?
Darkness surrounded every corner. Nothing else in existence in that world. A world where the only light has been extinguished. One creature managed to crawl out of the dirt shrieking an unnatural noise only to stop as the darkness seemed to choke him.
"Back to hell." A voice said as the body collapsed onto the ground. Grey eyes shine in the dark on top of what was once a building. One that once belonged to an academy.
An angel decended from the sky in front of the grey eyes man. With the angel came the light of someone as holy as he is came with. The man in front of the angel had green hair and ripped up clothing that one wouldn't usually have unless one went through fighting beyond an normal fist fight. Too bad there wasn't a single human left the fist fight with.
"I am here to-" The angel starts, but is cut off.
"Shut up." The man said as the angel suddenly couldn't talk. The angel tried, but couldn't bring his mouth the cooperate. "You angels helped start this war that wiped out the human race. Did you not?" The man asked simply.
The angel finally gained control again. "Yes we did, but-"
"Then your redemption is the same fate." He stated. "Burn." A grand inferno of grey fire shot up from the ground basking the area in grey just to show a sickening amount of dead bodies of almost every race of the supernatural. The inferno stops to show not even ashes left of the holy being.
Tatsumi Waking Up
Tatsumi shoots up out of bed in a cold sweat. He looks around his room finding…wait. 'My room?' He thinks in surprise. 'Wasn't I dying? And then I was killing everything…oh well. Just another couple of bad dreams I guess.'
He gets up getting new clothes on. Tatsumi walks out to find a note on the table for him. It basically says his parents has gone to on a business trip over seas and won't be back for a month at most. He sighs.
He walks out of his house thinking about his dreams. He comes to the conclusion that the second was definitely a dream since there isn't a single dead body in sight. The first one seems real from the pain he felt, but there isn't a scar or anything. That makes it hard to believe he actually was attacked.
'I don't think going to school today will have any point since I want to focus on searching something.' He thinks walking towards the same park from his dream. He finally reaches it about fifteen minutes later.
He looks around the area finding not even one trace of his blood. He then walks over towards the tree line finding a black feather. One of the feathers that belonged to that Yuuma girl. He frowns.
'So she was real?' He inspects it a little more. 'But it could also be a raven feather. Maybe I imagined a mutated raven in my dream. That would not make sense, but it makes more sense than a thing like her existing.' He processes through his head.
Even though it seems useless, he pockets the feather for later. Tatsumi then walks back to the fountain. He sits on the edge as the shadow thing in his dream crawls into the questioning part of his mind.
'What was up with that thing? Was it just part of the dream? An added prop?' He wonders letting out a sigh. 'Oh well. No need to dwell on a dream.'
He stands up to head to the school. He heads over walking into class really late. The teacher gives him a disappointed look before motioning for him to sit at his seat. He does take his seat now lazily focusing on the lecture.
A couple hours later the lunch bell rings notifying everyone it's lunch time. Tatsumi sighs. 'I forgot to pack my lunch.' He reminds himself. 'Guess I will have to eat when I get home.' He puts his head down just as the speaker turns on.
"Can Tatsumi Amano please come to the student council office? I repeat, can Tatsumi Amano please come to the student council office?" The speaker asks and then turns off.
Tatsumi silently gets up to start his walk to the student council office. 'This is probably something to do with me being late.'
He stops in front of the door then knocks. "Come in." The student council president, Sona Shitori, says from inside. Tatsumi opens the door finding her at a desk similar to what a principle would be sitting at. "Please take a seat Mr. Amano." He proceeds to that. Once he is seated he takes a laid-back posture in the chair. "Tell me Amano, do you know why I called you here?"
"Is it because I was late today?" He asks as she pushes her glasses up. This doesn't intimidate Tatsumi in the least. After his two dreams, he doubts there is much else that can intimidate him.
"That is part of the reason." Sona admits. "The reason is to warn you about talking to strangers." Tatsumi gives her a doll stare. "You have been caught talking with a dangerous person last night, so don't do it again. Do you understand?"
"Sure." He replies.
"If you are late one more time then I will have to give you detention here." She threatens in her usual monotone voice.
"I understand."
She looks at him for a moment then nods. "You may leave."
He proceeds to walk out the room. 'Why was that easy? I had a feeling she would have straight up gave me detention, but instead I got a warning. Weird.' Tatsumi continues on through the day as normal. Nothing else much happens.
The final bell rings, so he walks outside and starts to feel like he is being watched. Without turning his head, he looks to his left to see that Gremory lady watching him from a window of the old school house. He blows that off continuing to head home. He makes it home then cooks himself his food that he should have eaten earlier, but forgot to make.
A little while later finds Tatsumi outside at the bridge again. It is still his favorite spot to watch the sun set. As the sun sets, he notices that he feels more energized than normal. As soon as the sun is replaced by the moon, the air changes slightly. As if a dark presence arrived.
"Well well well. Look what I have here." Tatsumi turns around to meet a man with a fedora hat on. "Where is your master?" Tatsumi jumps over the side of the bridge on to the highway that is clear of cars. "So I guess you are a stray. That means I have the right to kill you!" The man says from above him. The silent teen looks up to the man with the same wings as that girl from his dream.
The man charges up a light spear and throws it at him. However, Tatsumi dodges to the left with an unnatural speed. He ignores that in favor of staying alive for a while longer. The man charges up two more and then throws those ones too. He dodges both.
'How can I win if he is all the way up there?' Tatsumi wonders evading every spear that comes his way. The fedora hat wearing man disappears in a speed that exceeds his vision and reappears in front of Tatsumi with a spear of light. He tries to stab him, but Tatsumi dodges that at the last second. He then throws a punch at fedora man's face hitting him. The man is sent skidding back a few feet with a smirk on his face.
"Not bad for a devil." He says.
'What does that mean? I'm not a devil.' He says in his mind. He pulls out Yuuma's feather from earlier surprising the man visibly. "You know whose this is. What are you two?" Tatsumi demands acting serious for a change. After all, now isn't the time to be relaxed.
"They are Fallen Angels." A voice says from his side. He turns to find the darkness with grey eyes looking at him from his side. Its voice doesn't seem to be happy, but it isn't mad either. Its voice is just there.
"I see." Tatsumi simply says. He focuses on the fallen angel that is staring holes into him. Metaphorically. 'I will figure out that shadow thing later. For now I have to survive this guy.'
"I am the Fallen Angel Dohnaseek. Now I will kill you!" He summons another spear making Tatsumi ready his body to evade more attacks. However, Dohnaseek speeds close to Tatsumi faster than his other attempts. As he shoves the spear at the green haired teen, Tatsumi moves to his left taking the spear in the side of his stomach missing any vital organs.
Tatsumi's eyes shoot wide open in pain also letting out a loud cry of pain for a second. He tries to put his hand on the spear only to pull his hands back when he could only feel pain touching it. Tatsumi glares silently at the smirking Dohnaseek.
"Hurts doesn't it? Light is a weakness to your kind. Though I have to kill you now, you were surprising." He says summoning another spear.
'I can not let that touch no matter what.' He thinks preparing to ignore the burning pain in his side. Dohnaseek thrusts the spear towards his chest only to miss. Tatsumi moved to the side then throws his fist into the fallen angel's chest. Sadly, it doesn't even faze Dohnaseek.
"Now you are just annoying me." Dohnaseek growls. He back fists Tatsumi in the chest sending him flying for a couple of yards before rolling to a stop.
Tatsumi tries to sit up, but can't because of the pain of the light spear and a few cracked bones. 'This isn't good. At this rate I should kiss my life goodbye.' He let's out a shaky sigh.
Dohnaseek walks toward the downed teen holding a spear of light. "Silence was always suited for your kind." He taunts holding up his spear. Suddenly a red ball of destruction hits the spear infuriating the fallen angel. "Who the hell just did that!?" He growls.
"That would be me." A feminine voice replies surprising Tatsumi.
'Was that the Gremory girl?' He asks in his mind looking over with his eyes meeting with crimson hair.
"That would be my servant you are trying to kill." Rias says crossing her arms.
The fallen straightens acting respectful. "I was under the impression this was a stray, heir to the great Gremory family, Rias Gremory."
The fallen angel walks past the teen to stand a couple yards away. Tatsumi looks at his side watching the spear just disappear. A bit of the burning sensation goes away, but most of the pain stays. He crawls over to a wall as the two supernatural entities talk to each other.
'I need to get away, but how can I escape if I have these injuries?' He looks to his side again finding the shadow with grey eyes. 'At this point I can assume this thing is helping me. Can it help me?'
"Yes I can." The shadow says seeming to have heard Tatsumi's thoughts.
'You can hear me huh? I guess that is useful. Please help me out of this mess.' Tatsumi requests.
"As you wish." The thing moves into his body making his eyes turn grey in color.
Tatsumi's body seems to lose trace of all the pain he felt and more light. Not wasting his limited time, he jumps up onto the bridge and runs at a fast speed towards his home. He runs inside then locks everything in the house. He walks into his room to take a seat on his bed.
The shadow floats out of his body in front of him returning all the pain. Tatsumi grits his teeth enduring the pain. He then decides to lay down on the bed. Amano looks over at the shadow.
"Thanks." Tatsumi whispers not able to find the strength to talk any louder. It just nods. That is when the teen with green hair closes his eyes for the night. Not knowing if he will wake up the next morning.
End
And there we have it! The newest chapter! How did you like it? Hope it did as good or better than the last one!
Now explanation time. The beginning part is a little thing I put there to add a little spice to it. It'll play its part later. And the rest is different because of different powers and different approaches Tatsumi did. Like I said, there will be differences.
Anyway, if I don't update right away on a regular interval then I am working on another one of my stories. So don't worry if it seems late. Without anything else at the top of my head, thanks for reading and have a great day/night/morning!
