i was falling, deeper and deeper into darkness, it wasnt fast, it was antagonizingly slow, my body felt light, i opened my eyes slowly, and found myself to be upside down in the world of darkness, my eyes felt heavy but i forced them to stay open so i could look around, i looked to my left and was shocked to see my wings, it was black feathers, the tips were jaggered and dyed red, i looked to my right and there was my other wing, i turned my head downwards, looking myself over, i was in a pair a black jeans with converse, my top was the same as the one riku wore, black with a zip down the middle, on my wrists i seemed to have some kind of shackles, i lifted my hands closer to my face and looked at them, they were metal thats for sure, metal, solid, thick shackles around my wrist, with bits of chains hanging of them that looked like i had pulled myself free of them, there were a couple of odd shapes croves in the metal (nobody and heartless symbols), i allowed my arm to float back to my side, i swallowed and realised i had somthing around my neck, i fourced my hands to it, it was another shackle, only this one was wrapped tightly around my neck, a chain hanging from the front
"what in the hell?" i asked, my hand running over the shackles, my arms floated to my sides again, my wings didnt do much, i dont understand why there even out, but they are, this is begining to scare me slightly, i felt my tail coil, i looked over to it, and even on my tail there was another of these wired shackles, i reached up and touched my ears, they didnt feel different, only that i seemed to have a ring in one of them, i looked up and saw i was nearing some floor, i couldnt see anything else as my eyes snapped shut as i was hit by a wave of intense heat...
...my eyes snapped open, the heat was horrible, i noticed now there was a roof over me, it looked like a jaggered cave roof, only it glowed earthy colours
"welcome" a voice said relieved, i sat up and turned to the voice and a huge smile spread across my face, the person beside me had brown spiky hair and striking blue eyes with a red hint, he had a crooked smile on his face, his wings were old but still looked beautiful, he too had shackles on his neck and wrists
"dad?" i asked
"yep" he said proudly, i smiled and pulled him into a needed hug, my hands landing on his wings, they were soft as seal fur, i pulled out the hug
"its so good to see you again dad" i smiled
"same to you sora" he smiled
"so where exactly am i?" i asked, looking around, i saw that there were sevral different sized rock pillars everywhere and alot of fire, this looks like hell? but it cant be...can it?
"well the most common name is hell" my dad sighed, i looked over to him and blinked, im in where now?
"what?" i asked in dis-belief
"were in hell sora" my dad frowned
"but why?" i asked
"we both have 2 dark creature in us, earning a one way ticket to hell im afraid" my dad explained with a sad expression
"oh" was all i said
"so im guessing somthing happened to cause you to die?" my dad wondered, i nodded and my eyes watered as i explained everything thats happened over the past few days, he growled when i told him about rikus little reaction, and growled when marluxia attacked me, by the end he was sighing "well not the correct thing to say but im proud of you sora" my dad smiled, i tilted my head to the side
"whys that?" i asked in confusion
"well you had the guts to accept your fallen self and still manage to be you, and you killed that bastard marluxia" my dad hissed
"why do you hate him so much?" i asked
"cos marluxia is the one who killed me" my dad growled, i gasped quietly
"but how you died in a car crash?" i asked
"i did but before the crash marluxia was in the car with me, hes always hated me for not accepting my fallen self, he had joined me to try to convince me to leave you and your mom, i refused so as i punished, he stole my soul out of me, thus killing my body, causing me to crash, the last second marluxia re-added my soul and escaped, so i would feel the pain" my dad explained, his normaly blue eyes had now turned completely red, my tail was rigid and my claws were in the dirt
"dirty rotten motherfucking bastard" i growled furiously
"yes thats one of the reason me and your mother never told you about your fallen side, we didnt want marluxia to get you" my dad sighed
"i understand that" i sighed "oh by the way saix is way to like you" i chuckled, my dad laughed freely
"saix is im afraid but hes a nice bloke, stuck with the same curse as me and you" my dad sighed "he came earlier" he sighed, my eyes widened
"WHAT!" i yelled
"saix is in hell somwhere" my dad sighed, but that means namine killed him, i felt my own eyes turn red "you ok sora? your eyes are red" my dad asked
"how dare she kill him when i told her not to!" i growled, my dad nodded in understanding
"she will of had no choice" my dad sighed, i growled and i felt my eyes return to there blue with red glow
"sorry he was my last tie to you, i didnt want to lose him" i explained with a heavy sigh, my dad smiled
"you have so much of your mother in you" my dad smiled, i chuckled
"but im sure i have more of you" i smiled, my dad laughed
"yes how did you deal with the demonic?" my dad wondered, i explained it all to him, his eyes becoming a bit more red whenever riku or luxord were mentioned
"and thats it, i now can switch it on and off like a light switch" i smiled, my dad nodded
"so tell me about this riku and axel?" my dad asked, i sighed
"well axels roxass boyfriend, he has long spikey red hair and triangle tattoos under his eyes, he slightly taller than me, erm hes a pyromaniac, and really annoys the crap outta me but hes terrified of my anger" i explained with an amused smiled
"hmmm he sounds fun, someone roxas would pick" my dad laughed
"he did always pick the odd ones" i laughed, my dad nodded
"and riku?" my dad asked, a very small growl in his voice, i sighed
"erm hes slightly taller than me, has shoulder length silver hair, hes neko like me, erm also has a demonic, the soul stealer, hes my calmer" i explained, again rikus disgusted eyes flashed into my head, i closed my eyes and shook my head to remove the images
"hmmm if he every comes down here im having word with him" my dad growled
"whatever" i sighed
"you really love him?" my dad asked suddenly
"yes even if he is an insensitve prick" i smiled, my dad nodded
"well when hes not a prick im happy for you" my dad chuckled, i smiled
"thanks dad" i smiled "whats with the shackles?" i asked
"ahh i was wondering when that would come up" my dad chuckled "well demonics are all mosters from hell, and well the shackles around our wrists and neck are what kept us under control, we werent exactly well behaved as such, some of the demonics broke free and escaped into human babys before they were born, like you and me for instance" my dad explained, my mouth had taken on the shape of an 'o'
"that explains alot" i sighed as i drew my knees up
"whats up?" my dad asked, concern in his voice
"i wanna go home" i sighed, my dad nodded
"were stuck im affraid but maybe were not" my dad said his voice staring of as sad but turning into hopful
"how?" i asked, my dad smiled his mischievous smirked, meaning he was enjoying his plan
"well satan takes extra pride in us, as in death dealers and feeds them himself, it takes about 10 minutes, so if we went down as our own demonics we would get an audience with him and could bargin" my dad explained proudly, i smiled, i could see it going ok
"lets give it a try" i smiled, my dad nodded and stood up, i followed him, i had forgotten i was taller now and i was the exact same size as him
"youve grown" my dad chuckled
"the joys of living on your own for a year and havin to do everything on your own" i laughed, my dad nodded and i changed into my demonic, i towered over him, but whats odd is, i felt so much more powerful now, even more so than when i was back home with the fallen awake inside me, its just so much more power
"lets go then" my dad chuckled before he changed, he stood next to me, his body was covered in faded brown spikey fur, on the edge of his tail was the skull sycthe only it looked like it had more use than mine, his claws were jaggered and used, same with his teeth, he dripped darkness the same as me, his yellow eyes locked with mine and he nodded and began to walk of, i followed him as we weaved through the caves networks, the heat slowly growing in intensivity, i saw the end of the cave and grinned evily as i was hit by a huge wave of heat, i felt my dad growl as a warning to be carful, i nodded as we exited the cave, and i stared at hell, there was a huge black castle floating in the middle of a lake of lava, but in the lava were creatures that looked like worms, one was slithering around the castle, its body was that of a snake but its head looked like a dragon, it was huge in size, its head had four huge horns, its jaw seemed to have more rows of teeth than i had fingers and toes, and its eyes were pure white, contrasting with its black skin, i turned my eyes from the huge creature and looked around, at each side of the castle were huge chucks of red earth, all joind by thin stone walkways, hanging of the walkways were people begin hung by the neck, only they werent dead, i gasped when i saw why they were hanging, a bird like monster swooped down from god knows where and ate a human of the rope, i looked closer at the bird, it was basically a giant crow with white eyes, again contrasting with its black feathers, i looked to the platform infront of us and saw hunderds of people and creature, the creatures were torturing the humans "come on" my dad growled, it didnt shock me when he spoke, we were the same creature after all
"ok this is strangely cool" i chuckled, my dad rolled his eyes
"please dont tell me you like it here?" he asked, humour in his voice, he already knew the answer
"i cant help it, i have a sadistic side" i laughed, my dad just chuckled, we walked onto the platform and i kept my eyes to myself, i heard all the humans screaming in pain, some were even laughing, which is just plain creepy
"no no please no!" someone begged, it was a voice that caused a growl to rip through my throat, i turned to the voice to see luxord cowering beside a rock, his usually clean cut goatee was long, same with his blonde hair, his ear was ripped from where he had his earings ripped out im guessing, his suit was covered in red speacks and clump, i walked over to him and grabbed his collar, i also notcied, now i was up close, that the eyes i had ripped out was still out "please no" he whispered, his one good eye wide and frightened, i narrowed my eyes and turned them blue, he gasped and began to struggle as my eyes returned to yellow with a red glow "no sora no you cant be here no" he begged, i growled at him and bared my teeth before sticking my claw inside his empty eyes socket, sharply, luxord screamed in agony as my claw scratched the inside of his head, i janked my claw out before walking away from him, but not before wiping his blood on his suit
"that was harsh" my dad laughed
"he pisses me off" i growled, we were walking down one of the walkways that lead to the castle, i had seen other death dealers down here earlier but now there were only 3, including me and my dad
"keep quite" my dad warned before joining the line, i nodded and qued behind him
"NEXT!" a loud, husky voice boomed from behind the large steal door, the 2 gaurds opened the door and the demonic infront of us walked in before the gaurds shut the door again, i looked at the gaurd, they looked like muscular men, only they had curly horns conimg out the top of there heads, and black eyes, one had short red hair that looked like fire on the top of his head, the other looked scarily like roxas, i mean they could be identical twins "send both of the next ones in" the voice boomed again, both the gaurds nodded and opened the door, we walked through slowly, i looked at the interiour, black walls with red decorations, sofas and chair galore, tables and pictures everywhere and from the middle of the room you could see a man, he looked quite tall, his hair was silver like rikus only it was much longer and slightly darker, i also noticed that slung on his back was a extremely large sword "you may aswel drop the act alex and sora" the man chuckled, his voice filled the room, me and my dad returned to our human selfs
"how did you know it was us?" my dad asked, the man laughed, i knew who he was, he was satan himself, he turned to us and i hate to admitt it but hes quite nice, he had electric blue eyes, that seemed sharp and to know everything, they held a red glow similar to the fallens, only his was more dominent and seemed to burn you if you looked to long, he wore a casual smile, showing a set of perfect teeth, which seemed to have small fangs for canines, his skin was pale but fair and flawless, he wore a long black robe with silver shoulder pads, he had to black leather straps over his bare chest, which seemed to be well muscled, he wore baggy black jeans and black boots with silver buckles, all in all he looked quite good
"i know how many death dealers i have alex" satan laughed
"should of guessed" my dad grumbled, satan laughed
"well since your here what did you want?" satan asked as he sat in a black throne that seemed to be made out of varies bones, his sword was placed on the floor beside him, he saw me looking "do you like my sword sora?" he asked
"its pretty" i said monotone, satan laughed
"forged from the steel of a lava snake, impossible to break" satan laughed, so that huge thing earlier was a lava snake
"thanks for telling me satan but i didnt ask" i grumbled, he just laughed
"oh dont call me satan, as i know your name you may aswel know mine, im sephiroth" sephiroth smiled warmly, for a devil he didnt seem threatening, me and my dad nodded "now down to buisness what did you need?" sephiroth asked
"we want out" i said simply, sephiroth looked over to me, his sharp blue eyes burning into me, then a crooked smile spread across his face
"i see you, alex and saix i guess?" sephiroth chuckled, me and my dad nodded "very well but on one condition" sephiroth smiled, i gulped against my shackle
"which is?" my dad asked, sephiroths eyes darkened and held some kind of black tint to the now
"once you die again, you will all work for me, you 2 incharge of the demonic creatures and saix incharge of the human tortures" sephiroth smiled
"why us?" i asked as i folded my arms over my chest, sephiroths eyes returned back to blue with a red glow
"because i have no fallen under my control, let alone and fallen, demonic hybird" sephiroth laughed
"deal" i smiled, more like bared my teeth but oh well, sephiroths eyes became happy and with a click of his fingers saix stood beside me, looking half dazed
"where am i?" he asked
"never mind that you 3 have a contract to sign" sephiroth laughed before clicking his fingers again and a piece of paper appeared infront of us "all i will need is a drop of your blood to seal the deal" he smirked
"ok" i said calmly before i bit my finger with my fangs, i flicked some blood onto the contract, i felt my something shackle around my heart, and i knew it was another shackle, only one that held me to sephiroth, saix and my dad did the same and the contract rolled itself up and tied itself with a blood red ribbon
"very well enjoy your human life as once you all die, you belong to me" sephiroth smiled evily and with that i was absorbed by darkness and flung into a oddly calm sleep
