Chapter 1: Aliens, Runaway, Accident
[Unknown, 24th April 2034, the next day]
I'm still trying to escape from this dark room, but still I cannot escape. Suddenly I feel someone's presence outside the room. There's one person. No, two person outside the room and it seems they're talking now.
"We don't really have to do this, Hastur. After all, she must not be harmed."
"But this is Cthugha's order to eliminate her, and I just can't ignore that order."
"Well, she's my archenemy, Hastur. I don't want to hear orders from her."
"If you don't want to interfere, then please leave me alone, Nyarlathotep."
Looks like they want to eliminate me, except for a person named Nyarlathotep. Just after they done talking, the door opens and they entered the room.
"Ah, so you are awake now. My name is Hastur, and this is Nyarlathotep."
"…."
"Why are you keeping silent, feel speechless?"
"Hastur, I think we don't really have to do this."
"I think I already said that if you don't want to interfere, just leave me alone."
"Fine. I'm outta here."
Nyarlathotep left the room.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. I was ordered by Cthugha to eliminate you. From the first I don't want to do it, but I have to follow leader's order."
"Go ahead. Eliminate me; your leader sure will be happy."
"What a good girl you are. Fine then, let me finish this right away."
Hastur suddenly throw a dagger towards me, but missed. But, why? It just like she didn't have any intention to kill me.
"You're too precious to us. I cannot kill you."
"Why? By the way, us?"
"It refers to me and Nyarlathotep; we're the ones who find you in planet Earth. You were unconscious that time, many people in Earth had died. Earth is no longer your living place; we have observed the Earth's atmosphere and its air are filled with some virus called 'Darkness'. "
"How about my contractor? Is he alright?"
"Your contractor? We cannot find him. I'm sorry."
"I see."
"I'll let you go now. Just give me some time to unbind these chains."
"Thanks. But, what should I do next?"
"You need to hide from the guards and go find Nyarlathotep."
"Got it."
"By the way, before you're tied up here, you are the part of Cthugha's experiment."
"Experiment? What kind of experiment?"
"DNA transfer. Your DNA is exchanged in this experiment."
"DNA exchange?"
"Yes. Your DNA has been exchanged with the DNA of Andromeda, the star spirit of Andromeda Galaxy."
"So that means I am Andromeda now?"
"Yes indeed. Your old spirit has been corrupted. If we didn't transfer the DNA, you might be vanished."
"But how did you know that my spirit has been corrupted?"
"We have more intelligence than humans do. So we have an enhanced technology to create a device that can check your inner soul."
"Wait, so that means…"
"Yes, we're aliens. Well, we're really aliens. But we have our own human form."
They're aliens! Well, they might be look like a human, but they are still aliens. I wonder how they are in their alien form.
"There! The chains are still intact to your body, but you've escaped. Now run and find Nyarlathotep."
"You got it. But, what will you do?"
"I will tell Cthugha fake information about your death. Hope it works, because Cthugha is really clever woman."
"Wish you luck then."
While Hastur reports fake information about my death, I have to go to find Nyarlathotep immediately. I wonder where Nyarlathotep is now. So, I decided to go to Hastur's spaceship, who knows Nyarlathotep is there.
[Hastur's spaceship, 24th April 2034, 1 hour later]
It's been an hour, what took Hastur so long? By the way, I still have to find Nyarlathotep as soon as possible. But I just saw someone else on the spaceship.
"Hey, who are you?" I asked
"Oh, my. I didn't realize that you might be here, thanks to that traitor, Hastur. Please let me introduce myself, my name is Cthugha."
"C-Cthugha!"
I am shocked, really shocked. Hastur failed to fool Cthugha with her fake information. Oh, no. What should I do now? If Cthugha is here, Nyarlathotep is in danger. I still didn't know what to do. My choices are between run away or go save Nyarlathotep before it's too late.
"You know, Cthugha. I know you want to kill me, but please if you want to kill me, don't kill everyone else, including Hastur and Nyarlathotep."
"Fine, I will spare their lives. Prepare to die, devil!"
Cthugha sends out a massive-sized machine gun from her right hand and a flamethrower from her left hand. I tried to dodge the shot, but suddenly Nyarlathotep is in front of me, blocking the shot"
"What are you doing here? RUN!"
"Run where?"
"There are some escaping pods in this ship. Use that to get out of this planet, and you will return to Earth."
"But Hastur said…."
"I will tell her later on. The Earth has been purified. Now go!"
"Thank you, Nyarlathotep."
As Nyarlathotep said, I have to find the escaping pod. But she didn't tell me where the escaping pods are. So, I decided to search in the control room, and I found those pods. But, Cthugha, I didn't realize that she's chasing me. I go inside the escaping pod immediately and the destination was automatically set to the Earth, and the escaping pod ejected and fly to the outer space.
[Outer space, 24th April 2034, several minutes later]
I am now in the outer space. I never had seen such a scary, but fascinating sight of the planets of Milky Way galaxy. I'm still worried about Hastur and Nyarlathotep. Are they alright? But, my sightseeing was interrupted by a shot from another spaceship.
"Don't you think that you're escaped, you little devil!"
"That sound. Cthugha!"
"If I cannot kill you by my own hands, then I shall see you die burned in ashes!"
Cthugha's spaceship shoots lasers towards the pod, but missed. I can see that Earth is near, I'm almost there. Looks like Cthugha won't let me arrive at Earth alive, she continuously shoot lasers at the pod. I'm just thinking that will be worthless. But, one of the lasers got hit on the escaping pod's rear back and one of the other lasers pierces through the cockpit and hit me. It was really painful. The escaping pod started to get pulled by Earth's gravity and fell towards the Earth in a very intense speed.
"(Laughs) Serves you well, devil. My mission is now accomplished."
I can't do anything right now. All that I can do is accept my fate of death. The falling sped is getting faster and faster until the pod crashes at the Earth.
[Somewhere in Heaven, 24th April 2034]
Where am I? This place just looks like heaven. Oh yes, I just realize that I am already dead. I just want to find my contractor that still wandering on Earth, and I failed. So I sit down in despair. I can hear a faint sound behind me.
"Hey, don't give up already. You still have chance!"
"That sound. I know it somewhat."
"I'm right behind you."
"Behind me?"
I turned my head and see Hastur behind me. What's she doing here?
"Hastur!? What are you doing here?"
"While I talk to Cthugha, she suddenly shot me at the head. So I am dead now."
"But, you are an alien. You might have 2nd life or something."
"We, aliens are the same as the humans. We only have one life."
"I see, then."
"By the way, you have to see someone here. I don't really know, but let's get going."
"Ah, huh? Okay."
Hastur brings me to a place where only light exist. I never seen such brilliance light, it's so warm.
"Here, she must be here somewhere."
"Welcome, Hastur and Nyx. I welcome you to my throne. My name is Michael, the holy archangel."
"I'm pleased to meet such a graceful angel like you, Michael."
"Such lovely words, Hastur. Nyx, I don't really know what are you doing here, but it's not the time for your death now. Go find Gabriel; she will give you a life powder. Hastur, you too. Go with her. "
"Yes. Thank you for your kindness allowing us to visit this wonderful place."
"It would be my honor to serve living beings, Hastur."
As Michael said, I have to find Gabriel and receive a life powder from her. I'm really glad that Hastur would accidentally accompany me here. Suddenly I heard someone shouting.
"Watch out! That fireball will burn you out!"
"Nyx! Duck!"
I just dodged the fireball, while Hastur ducked it. A female angel comes towards us with bunch of apprentice angels.
"I am really sorry about that earlier. Are you two okay?"
"We're fine. That was a very intense fireball."
"I am Uriel, the archangel of fire. What bring you guys here?"
"We're looking for Gabriel. Do you know where she is?"
"Maybe you can ask Raphael, he knows almost everything here."
"Thanks for the information, Uriel."
"Hastur, isn't it? It's my pleasure to help someone in need."
Now, we have to find Raphael, the third archangel. How many archangels does the heaven have? It really doesn't matter, though. Hastur notices someone from far away.
"Hey, Nyx. Maybe that's Raphael."
"What? Where?"
"Over there. Let's go!"
"I'm not sure that's Raphael. Wait, Hastur! Wait for me!"
We immediately go to the person that Hastur mentioned. I'm not sure that's Raphael because… You know what, I don't even care.
"Excuse me, are you Raphael?"
"If you're looking for Raphael, that might be me, young lady."
"If I may ask, where can we find Gabriel?"
"She was here just a while ago. I think she's going to the park of Eden."
"Okay, thank you for the information."
"It's my pleasure to help you, young lady."
Now, we have to go to the park of Eden, where Adam and Eve, the first two humans ever lived were born there.
[Park of Eden, Heaven, Unknown]
I and Hastur finally arrived at the park of Eden, which Raphael already said that Gabriel went here. I heard a faint sound from the depths of the park.
"Hastur, did you hear that sound?"
"It's a harp sound. Someone plays a harp here."
"Ugh, let's just find the source of the sound."
"Okay, okay, Nyx. You search over there and I will search here."
We decided to split up to search for the source of the sound. Anyway, does angel really play harp? Well, I am a devil, I didn't know about angels. Let's cut the case, I still have to find the source of the sound.
"It's getting creepier here." I said
"Who said that this park is creepy?"
"Who's there? Show yourself!"
"I am the fourth archangel, Gabriel. I know that you would come, Nyx."
Gabriel shows herself, she was the one who plays the harp all the time. I have to find Hastur now.
"Sorry, Gabriel. I have to find my friend first."
"No need, she'll be here soon."
"How can you know that will happen?"
"I can see everything, even future."
Hastur suddenly appeared from inside the forest. Ugh, she almost made me heart attack.
"Nyx, did you find her?"
"Excuse me, Hastur. The one you look for is behind you now."
"Hastur, isn't it? I am Gabriel. What brings you guys here?"
"Michael sent us here. She said that it's not our time for our death, so she wants you to revive us from death."
"I can revive you from death, but I afraid that you guys will reincarnate into another devil."
"It's really okay for us, unless we revived."
"Okay, then. I will take my life powder first."
Gabriel takes the life powders from her sack. The life powder has such brilliance light, but it's only a plain powder.
"I will use these life powders to you guys, but remember, you guys will reincarnate into another devil, are you sure about this?"
"We're really sure."
"Well then, shall we begin?"
"Let's begin."
Gabriel prays to the God and scatters the life powders toward us. The powder almost makes me sneeze. Then, my body started to disappearing, Hastur's body started to disappear too.
"You guys will be revived soon. Remember to always pray to God, and have a good life."
"Thank you for everything, Gabriel."
Then, a blinding light flashes, and I am at the Earth suddenly. But I got separated from Hastur. Great, now I have to find Hastur now. I am at Tokyo Tower S1 Zone now. Suddenly, I am really thirsty, not dehydrated but bloodthirsty. If I recall what Gabriel said, I and Hastur will reincarnate to another devil if we have revived. I looked at myself now, summer dress, bloodthirsty, and white hair. I am Vlad the Impaler! This means, I'm a vampire. Doesn't matter, though, unless I've revived. Now I have to find Hastur now. I hope she's not too far away from here.
