Chapter 1 : Fight Inside
The Pit
Deep inside a separate section of Hell located close to the first of the Twelve Gates , Chris Harris work up first realizing that Asmodai wasn ' t in him at the moment . Chris tried to move hoping he could run before the demon came back in him , but found the Wildcat found himself chained up to what felt like a metal operating table . And to make matters worse he felt the table on his bare skin , Chris , finally coming to his full senses after having Asmodai in him , the Cat found himself fully nude on the table .
" Great , even if I wasn ' t chained down , I don ' t even know where my clothes are and I wouldn ' t want to run out of this place naked . " Chris thought to himself , glad it was only him in his thought process to begin at the moment .
Even worse it was burning up to the point that it felt like he was sitting on the sun and it smelled like rotten eggs which was making him nauseous . Chris looked around try to figure out where he was and finally saw the torture equipment in the room and then heard horrible sounds of people screaming and things screeching terribly . Cat finally realized where he was and every image was coming to him worse than any nightmare or horror movie , he was in the place where evil dwelled .
" Aw , poor kitty , kitty , looks scared . " Said a haunting , female voice .
Chris looked around to see a blonde , fair - skinned female , with dark eyeliner , golden - eyes , and dressed something like a evil sorceress .
" Who are you ? " Chris looked at her and then screamed as a monster with wings flew in beside her .
" My names Lilith , I am known as the Demon Witch of Hell , I guard the first of the Twelve Gates into Hell and you will soon be put through the process of making you a permanent host for my brother Asmodai . " Lilith said .
" Asmodai is your brother ? " Chris was confused by all of this stuff .
" Not brother in the way you think although before we fallen angels or demons if you will fell from grace , we were all considered family . But , to us now the term brother means comrade , all demons are aligned on the same side in the battle between good and evil , Heaven and Hell . " Lilith said .
" I ' ve never heard or seen a battle between demons and angels before ? " Harris looked confused .
" That ' s because humans don ' t have that great of vision like us on what you would call the spiritual world , but we are very much at war with each other and soon that war will come to ahead when the time is right all will be revealed . " Lilith said .
The winged - monster with Lilith came closer to Chris looking carefully at him as if studying the Wildcat , but Harris wanted nothing to do with it as he backed as far as he could away even though he was chained to a table and couldn ' t go very far .
" Relax , she is just curious by you , " Lilith looking at Chris .
" And you now its a she how exactly ? " Chris asked keeping his eyes on the muddy brown , swamp color looking thing , it seemed to have snake like scales and eyes , and sharp teeth and claws .
" Because , she ' s one of my babies and there ' s thousands more of her . " Lilith said , Chris had to keep himself from puking when she said the thing was her baby .
" What are they ? " Chris asked .
" They are called imps , her brothers are green like iguanas and have sharp horns on their heads and sharp barbs on their tails , but you see them more in battle than you do my girls . " Lilith putting her hand on the creatures head rubbing it , the imp actually seemed to enjoy it .
" Why ? " Harris asked .
" Because the males are better equiped for battle while females help me torture the wicked down her in the Pit . The females have poison laced in the teeth and claws which doesn ' t kill , but cause extreme pain the grows and grows inside the victim and it kills sex drive . Of course , most of the wicked down here have died , so , they can ' t be killed . " Lilith watching Chris who looked pale at everything being said .
" Why do they look snake like ? " Chris asked .
" Becaussse , I am a sssnake , " Said a hissing male voice who walked in looking at Lilith .
" Leviathan , what took you so long ? " Lilith asked .
" I had to go and in form Lucccifer and Sssammael of the new development in the battle plansss , they were very pleasssed that we can move forward with the preparations . I alssso told Balor to meet usss here and Asssmodai , where isss he , Lilith ? " Leviathan said to Lilith , Chris was confused by everything .
" Asmodai , had to go and deal with a new client down in the third level and then get himself ready for preparations to enter his host again . " Lilith looking at Harris who realized some of the stuff they were talking about were about him .
" I do think we have been properly introduccced hossst , I am Leviathan , Demon of Wrath and I guard the sssecond of the Twelve Gatesss . I sssee you ' ve met my wife Lilith , and my one of my babiesss . " Leviathan looking at the imp .
" Yeah , answer me this , what exactly are these Twelve Gates you demons keep talking about ? " Chris asked .
" They are both spiritual and physical gates into Hell , they once resided in open locations , so , that when the world was darker , evil men could be tossed in . But , humans started meddling with them , so , the archangels and a group of warriors that served God moved them to hidden locations through out Earth . Now the only ones who ever comes through them are the wicked humans when they die and minor demons when they try to infect a human . You are the first live human to ever come here . " Lilith said .
" That ' sss all he needsss to know , " Leviathan looked at Lilith .
" Of course , dear , does Lucifer feel anything coming that might disrupt his plans to take over Heaven and Earth ? " Lilith asked .
Chris looked at them when they said take over Heaven and Earth and apparently they were going to using him to do it through Asmodai .
" Lucifer and Sammael said something about Ssshaman Warriorsss returning to Earth and apparently two very ssspecial relicsss have return to thisss world to help thossse Ssshamansss put a ssstop to uss . " Leviathan said Chris listen carefully hoping to help put a stop to their plans .
" What relics ? " Lilith said .
" Sssomething called the Dagger of the Fallen and an old book called Ancient Tome of the Firssst Ssshamansss , apparently they are being kept in an old sanctuary looked in Louisville . " Leviathan said .
Chris hoped Leviathan meant Louisville , Kentucky cause he could go there after he is released , maybe he could hide them and the thought of getting them from Asmodai when the demon came back into his body .
" Now enough talk , itsss time to prepare him . " Leviathan said .
" Are you a snake ? " Chris thought outloud .
" Yesss , infact , I am the very ssserpent in the Garden of Eden who tempted Eve , ssso , long ago . " Leviathan answered as Lilith went around to what appeared to be a cabinent and got out some type of liquid stuff .
" So , the imps are part snake ? " Chris looked at the thing where Lilith held the now open vial of liquid , the imp sprayed some liquid into the vial and then the imp left as Lilith closed the vial and shook it .
" Yes , infact , they are and you are about to feel the venomous side of their creation which they got from Leviathan . " Lilith said as she took a large syringe with an even larger hypodermic needle like that a doctor uses to give shots and stuck it into what appeared to be a soft top on the vial .
Enemy , familiar friend
My beginning and my end.
Knowing truth , whispering lies
And it hurts again.
Chris watched frightened as Lilith drew the liquid mixed with the imp venom into the syringe tube and laid it next to another needle already filled with another unknown liquid substance .
" Everything is ready for the first step in the process . " Lilith said .
" Ssshould we wait for Asssmodai ? " Leviathan asked .
" No , you know how the first step affects his abilities , so , we can ' t risk something happening to Asmodai before the first step is through . " Lilith reminded him .
" Right , no ssscrew upsss , " Leviathan said .
" Lets begin before Balor shows up , " Lilith said taking the first syringe the one that had already been laying there before she added the stuff with the imp venom and going to Chris who tried his best to back away from the Demon Witch .
" What is that ? " Chris asked .
" Its a special tonic that we will use to put you in a subconscious state , " Lilith explained .
" And the other stuff with imp venom ? " Chris asked hoping to prolong whatever Asmodai , Lilith , and Leviathan had planned for him .
" Itsss going to make you go through nightmaresss like you ' ve never know and caussse extreme pain like you ' ve never felt before . " Leviathan said .
Chris began to panic at what Leviathan said and thrashed around the best he could to try and keep Lilith from stick the needles in him .
" Turn him over and hold him down . " Lilith said as Leviathan called for two more low - level demons to come and help him .
Much to Wildcat ' s terror the two demons and Leviathan were able to turn Chris over and hold him down . Chris now couldn ' t see what was about to be done for him , but somewhere in his mind he knew that it was going to be to his liking .
What I fear and what I've tried,
Words I say and what I hide.
All the pain, I want it to end
But I want it again.
" Relax , " Lilith said as she came over and gave him the first syringe into his ass .
" AAAHHHH ! " Chris screamed in pain as he felt the needle stick him , it was the worst thing he ever felt and the liquid burned as it went into him .
" The first one is in , lay him on his back . " Lilith said removing the first syringe and throwing it into a hole that dropped down into the lake of fire .
Chris prayed for everything to be over as quick as possible as Leviathan and the two demons layed him on his back once again .
And it finds me
The fight inside is coursing through my veins.
And it's raging
The fight inside is breaking me again.
" Look a full grown man isss crying , him and hisss pitiful human emotionsss . " Leviathan said as he saw the tears on Chris is face .
" You two can go now , " Lilith said to the two low - level demons who left .
" Now , what ? " Leviathan said as the stuff start effecting Chris making him drowsy .
Lilith walked over to Chris and looked at him as she took the second injection .
I'm still the same, pursuing pain.
Is it worth all that I've gained?
We both know how this will end,
But I'd do it again.
" Alright , kitty , you are about to get the stuff that will cause you pain and cause the nightmares to start , it will only stop once its worked through your system which will be in a couple of days or so . But , since you are living instead of dead , you will the pain will eventually lead to you going numb which will be beneficial to you and then just the nightmares will be intense , do , you understand ? " Lilith questioning the Wildcat .
" Yes , I understand , " Chris said .
" On the second day , Balor , one of the higher demons in the Second Layer of Hell who works closely with Leviathan will enter your body temporarily and start putting special symbols and chains , wrote in our demonic language , in the depths of your body , soul , and mind . These chains will act as a both house and leash for Asmodai to be able to rest inside of you comfortable and with out losing you if he is ever casted out of your body for whatever reason . The only way for these chains to break and the symbols to disappear is by your death , so , don ' t think about finding away to get rid of them if Asmodai is casted out of you . " Lilith informed him .
" Yeah , " Chris said .
And it finds me
The fight inside is coursing through my veins.
And it's raging
The fight inside is hurting me again.
And it finds me
The war within me pulls me under.
And without You
The fight inside is breaking me again.
The Wildcat had never felt so defeated and alone in all of his life until now , he wished he had never met Asmodai , he wished that he was back at the Impact Zone happy with his friends and Storm by his side wrestling like he had wanted during his childhood and now that was all he wished to returned to . He need an angel to save him , he need someone to help him get out of this evil he was trapped in , and he need someone to rescue him from the misery , but he knew in the place that he was in , deep in hell , no one would come for him , because no one knew he was even there .
(It's nothing.) It's everything.
(It's nothing.) It's everything.
(It's nothing.) It's everything.
(It's nothing.) It's everything.
" Time for the second injection , " Lilith said as she stuck the second injection into his arm .
" Aaahh , " Chris screamed again , but not as loud since the second injection didn ' t hurt as bad as the first one and then he slipped into his subconscious stay .
And it finds me
The fight inside is coursing through my veins.
And it's raging
The fight inside is hurting me again.
And it finds me
The war within me pulls me under.
And without You
The fight inside is breaking me again.
Soon , the pain was unimaginable , he screamed the first day as loud as he could until he was hoarse and he continued to scream even after his voice was gone , but it was a silent scream . The nightmares were vivid , they were of all of his worst fears and of everything he had done wrong in life , his time as heel in the Jarrett Army and finally the attack on Storm hit him at once .
It's breaking me.
It's breaking me.
On the second day , Balor entered him , the boar - like demons , had strange paints that he used to mark the inside of the Wildcat ' s body and soul , symbols painted in a demonic language and chains painted with a demonic spell cast over them . But , at the point when Balor was marking him , Chris , no longer cared about if he lived or died or even what was going on around him , he just want all of it to be over and for him to be at peace like he was before . It was until Balor used put the final spell on the symbols and chains to seal them in place did Chris feel a extremely burning pain this time , which made the Wildcat scream once again in murderous pain .
I'm falling apart.
I'm falling apart.
As the year went on more torture was done like this to Chris Harris , all to prepare for Asmodai to enter him permanently and when the year was up , which actually felt more like ten years to the Wildcat , the torture was over and Asmodai entered him once again .
" Looks like its you and me again , Kitty Cat , " Asmodai told him in his mind .
" So , the torture is over ? " Chris asked .
" Yes , its all over , but their is one last more task that we need to do before we venture anywhere far from the Pit . " Asmodai said .
" Its not like I have a choice about , " Chris said .
" Well , you could always say yes or no , but it would be pointless cause I would force you to do it anyways . " Asmodai was enjoying himself .
" What must I do ? " Chris asked .
" Allow me to take you to first of the Twelve Gates . " Asmodai said as they approached the large gate that lead out to the world of the living or Earth as the humans call it .
" Now , what ? " Chris asked as Lilith met them .
" Take the ceremonial knife from Lilith and the symbols she will provide you with Chris . " Asmodai instructed him .
Chris did as Asmodai told him .
" Almost there brother , " Lilith said to Asmodai .
" Now , host you we will go outside of the pit through the Twelve Gates , I will give you some of my magic to do so . " Asmodai said as they walked close to the gate .
" How ? " Chris asked .
" Walk through it , " Asmodai said and Chris did so finding out he could actually walk through the gate on to Earth ' s surface .
Chris breathed in the fresh air of the world he had missed for a whole year relieved to be in it once more .
" You can relax later , " Asmodai said .
" Now what ? " Chris asked .
" Used the ceremonial knife that Lilith provided you with and prick your own right finger . " Asmodai said .
Chris did so , the pain was so much to him now after what he went through the past year in Hell .
" Now write the symbols down the middle of the door in the same way Lilith showed you . " Asmodai said .
Chris put the symbols on the door as Lilith showed him and how Asmodai told him to do .
" I take it this is the gate into Lilith ' s Level of Hell ? " Chris asked .
" Yes , you are correct , " Asmodai said .
" Anything else ? " Chris asked .
" Use the blood already on your finger and put it on the rest of your fingers and your hand . Now use your right hand and place it on the handprint on the door below the symbols now painted on the gate in our blood . " Asmodai instructed him .
Chris saw the handprint and placed his hand now covered in apparently his and Asmodai ' s blood where the demon inside of him told him to put his hand .
" So , we share blood now ? " Chris asked .
" We share all bodily functions now Chris and that includes our blood . " Asmodai informed him as Harris heard what sound like a lock coming undone and chains breaking .
" Now stick the knife into the hole in the door with the blade sticking in it . " Asmodai ordered him .
Chris did the final step and backed up as red ran down the door into the groves like a waterfall filling a river .
" What ' s happening ? " Chris asked .
" Our blood is filling open the locks on the Twelve Gates starting with this one and going to the others , soon , they will open and Lucifer with his mighty host of demons will reign supreme again . " Asmodai said .
" Great , I ' m becoming the destruction of the universe as we all know it , " Chris said sarcasm .
" Your sarcastic remarks are funny , but lets get out of here . " Asmodai said .
" Where are we going ? " Chris asked as Asmodai lead him to Harris ' s car that the demon left behind one year ago .
" I had some low - level demons come and fill the tank up , now , I will point you to the way out of the area of the first of the Twelve Gates . Then I am going to sleep for a little while in order to get myself ready inside of you for what ' s to come later . So , you will have a little while to move freely as you wish , you know so you can breath free air , clean yourself up cause you are looking straggly , and get some sleep yourself since you didn ' t get much down in the Pit cause I need you a full strength yourself . But , don ' t think of blabbing anything to anyone or going back to TNA , I will hurt you if you do and once you ' ve had time to yourself , before Ocober gets here , which is in one mouth seeing as we ' ve been down in Hell for a year and it was September when you disappeared , go to Mobile , Alabama as I have things to do there and then you are on your own again until I chose to move , got all of that ? " Asmodai asked .
" I got it , " Chris said .
Asmodai did as he said , they got into Chris ' s car and then the demon lead Cat to a road he knew and went to sleep .
" Peace and quiet , " Chris sighed in relief , but before he slept himself he had to go to that place in Louisville , but he never thought about the place or the other details of what he was doing outloud or to himself in the fear of Asmodai finding out . But , Chris knew this was the only way to help put a stop to the plans down in the Pit . He had to get the two relics before any of the demons did and hide them in a safe locations . So , without any hesitation , Wildcat pointed the car towards Louisville and left to prepare his own self for what was coming for both Heaven and Earth . And maybe , just maybe , he could find the warriors to come and possibly find his own peace while he saved the innocent lives that were going to be at stake in the coming war between good and evil .
