A/N: Well... here we have the third chapter... I made a beta correct it... but one of them was busy and the other is not appearing, so I uploaded it with probabilities of bad spelling and grammar error... How awesome is that? :D
Renjisichi: Lemme guess, Cael is a angel of the lord? Right? or a new brand spanking demon that follows the Lord?
Answer: ... I think it was kinda clear at the beggining of the story that Cael has nothing to do with the SMT stories, he has his own story and he will only be part of the SMT games and will not steal the protagonist's spotlight. Cael is totally human, he just got stabbed by that Yumi girl and now has powers.
Let's say that I'm going to made him go to the Digital Devil Saga world and of course the Persona world... I already made the ideas for that ;)
Out of that question which I think it's already clear. I'm going to change some things... instead of going like SMTI, SMTII and SMTIII meaning going from a series to the other... I'll do it in a way to reach Persona a little faster... by doing this: SMTI, SMTII and then SMT: If... meaning realased years. After If... Persona 1 comes in (I think)... I think that's kinda better.
In any case, enjoy the chapter... although... I think I made it kinda lame... I'm not the logic type ^^u... ah whatever... don't forget to review :D
''…Fine… I'll tell you…''
Kazuya started explaining everything that happened. The strange dream that the three of them had at the same time, the strange mail of Steven, the man murdered by a demon in Kichijoji mall, arrested for the latter events even though he didn't do it, when he met Yuji and Takeshi,… how Kazuya's mother died by the hands of a demon… when he mentioned his mother, Kazuya couldn't avoid to tremble, his voice died with every word, he made fists of anger, even tears started to form in his eyes, but he kept his cool to not getting out of subject, even though he wanted to, so then he continued with the explanation. When he lost Pascal… actually, left since he jumped to a teleport called ''Terminal''; when he met a girl called Yuka Futsuko, when the word ''Yuka'' was said, Yuji paused from finding the key, he made fists of anger, after an amount of seconds he calmed down and kept the search for the key; when she was abducted and they saved her; when the three went their own ways, the conflict between Gotou and the American senator Thorman, which the latter was discovered to be the demon Thor, sent by God, the two of them gave Kazuya a choice to join them, but he rejected both, by doing so, he had to fought them separately, Gotou died and so Thor but the latter resisted the proper time so he could give the command to fire the nuclear bombs to all Japan, Kazuya and Yuka couldn't escape, which make the latter made a spell on him and the other two to travel through time 30 years to the future so they could be saved, but the three of them had to make kind of test which involved defeating demons and get the sword and axe Yuji and Takeshi had now… but any of them wanted to talk about that place anymore since some old guy there was irritating.
The story was unbelievable, Cael couldn't believe it, but he realized he had to, since everything that happened to him was already unbelievable.
''…We had your same reaction when we first saw everything destroyed…''
Kazuya said letting out a sigh.
''Yeah… Where is that key!...And after walking a while, we found you lying there almost devoured by a demon.''
''Oh… wait. What! ?''
''Don't worry; we killed it before it could do any harm. Although I think I should have letting it do it. *Hmph*''
''And it looks like thanks to you and that golden apple, Kazuya found Pascal… Found it!''
Yuji found and gave the key to Kazuya which freed Cael from the chains; the latter started to stretch a little and massaging his arms and shoulders.
''Thanks… so… Where do you have to go now? ''
''…We don't know yet, but we will, once we visit someone here… but we can wait a little longer, he won't go anywhere… Now tell me… How did you ended up here...?''
''Huh…? Uhm… to be honest, I don't know, but I'm looking for something… although I don't remember what.''
Yuji heard and asked.
''Huh…? Do you have amnesia?''
''Looks that way…''
Kazuya starts to think when he realizes something, so a question came from his mouth.
''…You're not from here are you…?''
''…!''
''…It's obvious… even if you had amnesia, you would see the world in a normal way, even if it is a destroyed one, instead of watching it in surprise…''
''…''
Cael remained silent; he was surprised of how Kazuya could figure it out the situation that fast.
''…Those powers you used to chain down Pascal, are not common ones, not even the demons I found could do it, not even the ones I control…''
Kazuya always looked like the type of person of few words and serious, even Yuji and Takeshi were surprised to see their friend talk more than was needed for him. Cael's personality give that 180 degrees turn like the time he meet Louis in the dark place, so he kept his cool and started to listen carefully.
''…I could say that you were in that blue labyrinth after Yuka saved us… but that's not possible, Yuka never mentioned you, besides, that place wasn't too big, I could have found you anytime, even in the exit…''
''…How are you that sure that Yuka never saved me?''
Yuji started whispering to Takeshi.
''Man. What happened to his voice? He doesn't sounds like the shy Cael we found just a while ago… and those red eyes intimidates more.''
''How should I know! ? Although I agree… he's like a complete different person.''
Kazuya continues to answer Cael.
''…I already told you, if she could have saved you, you would have been with us since the beginning. If she would have known you, she would have been worried and asked us to find you… but she didn't say anything…''
''Wouldn't that be because I can defend myself?''
''…You know very well that you just discovered those powers…''
''…''
''…Besides, your name is not Japanese, even if you look like one…''
''Ah… that's right, if I remember correctly, when I asked him what kind of name was Cael, he answered that he didn't knew, I forgot after Pascal attacked us.''
Cael started looking at Yuji with daggers in his eyes.
''Oh…ehm… uhm…hehe''
With the effect that the latter, started taking a few large steps away from him…
''…So tell me: Who are you and how did you ended up here…?''
Cael looked down and there was a long time of silence until he started talking.
''…I told you… I don't know. I don't know who I am, Cael is not even my real name.''
''…What do you mean…?''
''What I mean is… is that I don't remember from where I come from, not even my name, I don't even know how I ended up in this situation… but they told me, if I make a small journey I might remember bit by bit of what happened to me… although…''
''Although, what?''
Takeshi's question was brusque, but he listened carefully too.
''Before they gave me this clothes, which they look strange to you… right? ''
Everyone nodded in agreement.
''I remember that my school uniform had a hole in the part of the stomach with a big stain of blood… I felt sad… but I don't know why… I don't remember anything at all…''
Their eyes widened, the three teenagers looked down and remained silent for a long time.
To break the silence and so they can snap out of it a little, Yuji asked Cael.
''So… You didn't travel through time like us?''
''Hardly, that hole wasn't from a demon or so I think, I saw some demons here before passing out... some of them act like animals, and animals don't stab in the stomach, if I remember correctly, ther weren't any demons from where I come from. Besides, the hole looked more like from a knife.''
Yuji and Takeshi started to stare at Kazuya with doubt.
''…What…?''
Well… Didn't you say that you started to defend yourself from demons… with a knife?''
''…Yeah…So…? ''
''Well… uhm…''
Takeshi cuts Yuji from speaking se he can continue.
''Couldn't you have stabbed the kid by accident… mistaking him with a demon?''
''…If I did things by accident, I could've stabbed Yuji in the prison by accident the first time we met mistaking him with a demon…''
Yuji's mouth was open with his eyes saying ''What! ?''; Takeshi was just giving an evil grin, which shows how he doesn't get along with him too well.
''Besides, you mentioned an annoying old man—''
The evil glares aimed at Cael… he forgot that he didn't have to mention the old man, but he ignored them and kept talking.
''… and two demons that you had to fight to get out of there, clearly, that didn't happened to me, I have this strange powers which you don't, it's clear that I'm not from here nor any time of the past.''
''…So…?''
''*sigh*… I don't know, they told me I had to travel to different places… including alternate realities.''
''Alternate realities…? Hah! Like that would be possible.''
''In normal circumstances, is it possible to travel through time, demons lurking around and that the two of you can use magic… is it possible?''
''Uhh… no…''
Cael's words sealed Takeshi's mouth… because all of that was true; Yuji was trying to hold his laughter.
''…Who are those exactly…?''
''Honestly, I don't know either… although I think is better not to say anything more… I have a feeling that they'll do something to me if I keep talking.''
Confused and warned glares watched Cael.
''Oh… don't misunderstand, they're not hostiles, they're the most kind persons I met since I lost my memories.''
Kazuya nods in agreement like saying ''Fine''.
''…Ok… I guess is time to visit him…''
''Ugh…Finally! ''
Said Takeshi, making a sigh of relief…
''Visit who?''
''That bastard of Ozawa…''
One could see the hatred in Takeshi's eyes and voice every time he hears the name ''Ozawa''.
''…Supposedly, he has information about a psychic that could help that girl in Shibuya…''
''Yeah… I wonder what happened to her…By the way… ''
''…What…?''
''Well… Didn't that girl looked kinda familiar?''
Kazuya's eyes looked at him in surprise, so did Takeshi.
''…You noticed too…? … I have the feeling that I met her before…''
''Yeah, that's right but… Agh! But every time I try to remember it my mind becomes a blur!''
The other two nodded in agreement.
''Are we going to waste more time on that, or are we going to go look for Ozawa!''
''…*sigh*… Fine… maybe that way you'll calm down a bit…''
''*Tch*… What do you know?''
Kazuya and the other two start to leave the room, while Cael still was sitting in a chair.
Kazuya turns around to face Cael.
''…What's the matter?''
''…What are you waiting for, grab your stuff and come with us…''
''Huh…? B-but I don't want to screw anything up, I'll would only get in your way.''
''Dude, don't be that shy 'And creepy with that change of attitude' and come with us, I'm sure you won't screw up anything like you said, I mean, you cut a fire ball in half—''
''I did?'' Cael thought.
''—and you can summon chains with that sword of yours, that is have accuracy and power.''
Takeshi was staring silently; it looks like he was against the idea about Cael joining.
''Uhm… ok, I will.''
''You sure…? You can't even control that thing.''
Takeshi tried to make change Cael's mind by saying that, which caught the attention of the other two; they thought that he had a point there.
''Oh… don't worry about it, I can control it already.''
The three teenagers couldn't help to be surprised at hearing that, most of all Takeshi, they were wondering how did he managed to control it so soon, since he arrived at that Tokyo, he only summoned Insero one time against the berserk Pascal, and the rest of the time unconscious.
''… '*sigh* why am I worried, this kid was already strange since I met him…' That's better, you'll be more helpful that way…''
''Thank you, well let's go… Where is this Ozawa guy?''
''…He's right here in Shinjuku, that's why we decided to bring you here to rest. By the way, here, take this…''
Kazuya gives Cael a handgun with enough ammo.
''…A sword won't be enough, you'll also need a firearm…''
Cael nodded and inserted the clip in the handgun, his hand shake a little bit, it was normal, he never used a gun before.
''…That would be enough, let's go…''
After a long walking, fighting demons and find some treasures, Cael and the three teenagers find themselves at the last floor of Shinjuku Mall.
''Is it here?''
Takeshi answers Cael's question with desperation so they can enter.
''Yeah, it's here. Come on, let's get inside, I have some business with this bastard.''
Kazuya nods and enters with the others to the room where this Ozawa guy is supposed to be.
''Hm…? Do you need something young man?''
Ok... that's enough... I told you that it was probably going to suck XD. Chapter 4 is already written, I'll upload it tomorrow or later. It maybe was kinda short but oh well, I know it kinda sounds wierd, that's why I need the Bete reader. When she sends me the files, I'll update this chapter.
Don't forget to make a review :D
