Again, would have updated sooner, but I had SAT's and HSPA's in the same week
Hi they're everyone! Okay, first big news, Sonic The Dark Brotherhood is good, get it ASAP. Lets hope that Beware makes another one. Next, Twisted HiFox has made another Bloodtail fan art, this time featuring Siles/Tails in his Devil Trigger mode. It is just awesome; she's got talent, really hardcore talent. No joke, check it out at:
hifox./art/Devil-Trigger-97193972
Or go to DevientArt and look for Twisted Hifox's profile to see it and be sure to say what a great job she has done.
Now the chapter I intended this time was too big to be used as one single chapter so I'm going to split it into two parts. As for the music thing, so far no new ones, you can still submit people. Also, I was noted by Bloodfeastislandman about a mistake I didn't know existed. Apparently, Echidnas are egg-laying creatures. I thought they were mammals. So it does seem weird that the "operation" that Julie-Su had to get while giving birth to Aristotle is kind of weird. So….here's the idea that I think might save me. Since Mobians are Anthrosapians (Animals with Human Characteristics) that developed due to the bomb that made their genes go past evolution and makes them more human like. Just image that every Mobian goes through what we go though in a normal pregnancy, including the birth part. Kind of last second made up, but its better then nothing.
Also! Thanks to everyone for more then 50 reviews in 7 chapters. Never got that much so quickly! Thank you all!
Okay? Great, let's go.
Faith can be two things….the light that gives hope…or the light that blinds those who dwell in it
-Dark Side of the World
Chapter 8: Church of the poisoned mind part 1
The video tape that the Leader of Abaddon's Resolving Chaos Angels for New Order (A.R.C.A.N.O) was sent all through out the Mobian lands. An hour later it was sent though out the Human lands.
A State of Emergency was held in Mobius as the government declared A.R.C.A.N.O the top of the list of Terrorist and Threats to the Country. All citizens were ordered to report anything out of the ordinary that might be in connection to the cult.
Naturally, they got so many calls it was hard to tell if these were from paranoid people or the real thing.
The reactions were mixed through out Mobius, many were now placing blame and hatred on the cult which gave Sonic, Sally and the Inquisition some lay back, but it would not hold for long. Others were afraid to walk out their doors now.
There were even some who wanted to surrender and save their lives, even if it meant losing their souls. There we even those who agreed with A.R.C.A.N.O. for both political and religious reasons.
Sally outright said that they would find the cult and put an end to it once and for all.
The Human lands tried to ask for an alliance again as the enemy was now not only a threat to Mobius, but also a threat to their land as well. The Council stepped in and said that it was only a Mobius matter and that the humans didn't need to be involved despite the claims they had received a similar video.
Siles was pissed at them. A part of him wanted to just go and kick their asses again, but there was no time. Zazamel had started giving Siles and everyone else missions and assignments. The cult had threatened chaos in the lands of Mobius and all of a sudden demons and cultists were appearing out of nowhere, like sleeper agents.
For the safety of both the Council and Royal Crown, they were moved to a safer location (Aka Knothole) and were watched twenty four seven.
Siles also had to give them information on Arcana Demons and even invited his friend Jake to the Inquisition HG to help. At first everyone was weary about him, not just because he was a human but he was also weird looking (And had a liking to furry women). The Council (especially Timon) were outraged and demanded that he leave, but Sally and Sonic agreed to let Jake come as he knew more about demons then anyone, besides Siles of course.
When info on the Arcana Demons was given, many were feeling hopelessness and dread come along. Not only did they have to deal with a cult, but also 17 other demons that got stronger with each other of them killed.
The information was spread though out the Inquisition with orders to retreat and contact HQ ASAP so that Siles was informed incase of a Arcana Demon was spotted.
Three days after this order was given, and a week after the tape's release, a call went in that a Demon with high energy readings was spotted near a town called Fidelis. A small town that was not well known.
The Inquisition sent Amy and Siles to deal with it…

BLOODTAIL: THE DEMON HUNTER
Disclaimer: The author owns nothing that is not his….
(At a quickstop)
"That'll be 8.45" Said the moose cashier.
Amy nodded and handed him the money before grabbing a small brown bag and exiting the store. As she was walking away, she grabbed a few eyes. Not just because of her uniform, but also the large black case that was on her back. It was much taller then her and had a wide width that made it look like it had a heavy object inside.
Siles asked her twice on what it was and she said it was a surprise and that he hoped that she would never have to use it.
Speaking of Siles, he was watching her come out and started to get his demonic enhanced bike ready.
"Got the stuff?" asked Siles as Amy arrived.
Amy took a bottle of liquor out and handed it to Siles who took a big gulp.
"Ah, much better. Was getting thirsty after we past the last town." Said Siles helping Amy place the bag in a small holding container he had on his bike specially modified just incase.
Amy got on the back and said, "Hard to believe that a half demon like you can get thirsty."
"Hey, I'm run on 50 percent action, 30 percent style, 15 percent passion and 5 percent alcohol." Said Siles as he started the bike and they drove back on the road.
"So how much far is this Fidelis town anyway?" asked Siles.
"About another 100 miles." Said Amy, 'It's a small town that's not well known. The team that was sent there reported seeing a large energy demon and asked us for help. We lost contact with them awhile ago."
Think it's an Arcana Demon?
Maybe. Said the Dark Knight Sparta, We can't be sure on anything at this point.
They drove on for awhile longer till Amy asked, "So how's Hanyo's training going? I hear he's gotten the basics down."
"Yeah, it's a little different because he's a different kind of Half-Demon then I am, but he getting the hang of it…" Said Siles as he thought back…
(Flashback, three days ago)
Siles had decided to teach Hanyo how to control his super strength that came with his demon powers. Cream and Aristotle, who was still around, decided to come and see the excitement.
The four of them were outside the Main Palace courtyard and surrounded by stone pillars that were worn out or near broken. He managed to get Sally and Sonic's permission to use these for the training.
Cream and Aristotle were watching on the grass a few feet back..
"Okay, now to control your strength you need to summon the demonic energy and let it flow through your body. However, in your case, your going to have to let it flow through your demonic arm as the rest of your body is not as connected to your demonic energy as your arm is." Said Siles.
"But I thought I would be able to do this automatically since I'm a half demon." Said Hanyo.
"Remember what I said? Our bones and muscles increase in durability and power, but it's our demonic energy that makes us do the things we can do. Even full-blooded demons have this as well. Watch." Said Siles who looked at a pillar, jumped up and smashed it down with a well-placed punch.
Cream started clapping while Aristotle smiled and hugged his bear.
Hanyo nodded, "Alright, let me try."
"Careful, it's hard to get it the first time. You may want to try it with as least possible force so you don't brake your arm incase you mess up." Said Siles, remembering all the painful experiences when training with Sparta.
Yeah, how many times did I have to heal your arm right so you could continue? Oh yeah, 1843.
Well we all can't be legendary knights of darkness like you.
Hanyo took a few steps back before taking in a deep breath and charging forward with a cry. He jumped up, his arm glowing blue, and with a loud bang he managed to knock down the pillar and sent it to the floor with a thud.
Cream cheered as Aristotle clapped.
"Yeah! I did it!" Said Hanyo cheering.
He's got good control…. and he managed to do it on the first try…. kids got potential…. Thought Siles.
"Good job Hanyo." Said Siles who then saw Aristotle walk over to a nearby pillar and sighed. For some strange reason, he wanted to also show them his strength. He gently placed his bear on the ground and got into one of the stances his dad taught him while training. He placed one foot in front and both hands at his side, point straight out forward.
"Aristotle?" Asked Hanyo.
BOOM!
Cream and Aristotle gasped while Siles just smirked.
Aristotle had stepped forward and punched while sending the pillar back 5 feet into three pieces.
"Just like your dad." Said Siles who whistled.
Kid knows how to pack a punch! Said Cerberus who was surprised.
Aristotle picked up his bear and blushed; he didn't mean to over do it or showoff.
Hanyo walked over and asked excitedly, "How did you do that?"
Siles said, "Aristotle's father is the Guardian of the Master Emerald on Angel Island. All Guardians go through training to be well strong and resourceful in order to protect the Master Emerald. Aristotle goes though the same training because he's the next Guardian in line."
"Like how Prince Hermes is the next in line for the throne?" asked Cream.
"Yeah, like that." Said Siles.
"Still, his punch was way better then mine." Said Hanyo who was still surprised.
Aristotle looked sad, thinking he had made Hanyo feel bad.
Hanyo noticed and said, "No, I'm not angry. I'm just noticing the difference. You should be proud your stronger then I am. I just have to train harder. After all I just started you've been training longer then I have."
"Hanyo's right Aristotle. I think what you did was cool." Said Cream walking over and smiling.
Aristotle blushed, but with a smile and wished he could say thank you, but they nodded as if they understood.
"Well then. Hanyo, maybe you can ask Aristotle more about focusing. In the meantime, let's continue." Said Siles.
(end Flashback)
"Yeah, I think he and Cream were really staring to make Aristotle feel more outgoing." Said Amy, "It's too bad they had to leave the day after that."
Siles nodded, he too was sorry to see Knuckles and Aristotle leave. Knuckles however was surprised that Aristotle didn't want to leave at all. He wanted to stay with Cream and Hanyo. While his father wanted him to be with his new friends he had to take him home for Guardian reasons. But Knuckles did promise that they would visit more often.
Siles however, had gotten a surprise on that day. Not from Knuckles or from Aristotle….but a certain ninja.
(Flashback, Inquisition HQ in Knothole about two days ago)
Siles was walking through the halls alone at the moment. Knuckles and his group were leaving today and he wanted to go say goodbye to them.
As he was turning a right corner he stopped suddenly in front of Espio.
"Oh, hey. I didn't see you there." Said Siles
Espio only stared at him,
Espio moved aside to let him pass. As Siles nodded and started to move forward Espio said, "Sorry to get in your way Siles Drowler….."
Siles turned back and nodded to him before continuing on his way.
"….or should I say Miles "Tails" Prower."
Siles stopped.
A dark silence went between the two.
Thousands of questions went into Siles's head. Did he know who he was? If so…then how?
"I don't know what you're talking about." Said Siles who turned around with his heart beat increasing.
"Please….I knew it was you for a while…since we "met" I watched you and saw things that made me come to this conclusion." Said Espio.
"Oh really….like what?"
Espio started walking towards Siles and said, "Well for one. Siles..Miles….not to far off….the same with Drowler and Prower…."
"Coincidence." Said Siles.
"Then there was the fact that you had the same Chi signature that Tails had, but some of it was different. Also there are two other life forms in your soul…both are demonic." Said Espio getting closer.
Sparta and Cerberus were surprised that Espio could feel them.
"You have a spoken hatred against Sally and Sonic…..which I'm sure Tails would have." Said Espio.
Siles just stared at him
"And your tail….I bet that's really two normal sized tails twisted together to make one big one." Said Espio right to his face now, "And finally, your heartbeat increased drastically when I said your real name."
The two of them said nothing. Finally, realizing that he couldn't hide it, Tails asked, "So are you going to tell anyone?"
Espio closed his eye and said, "Just answer me this…how long to plan to stay like this? Sooner or later you will be found out."
"As long as I can." Said Tails.
Espio nodded and walked away, "I won't tell anyone, but just so you know. Knuckles and Julie-Su cried when they heard of your "death" and Knuckles would welcome you back with open eyes. Don't be afraid Tails."
And with that he left Tails alone."
(End of Flashback)
"Siles!" Said Amy.
Siles shook his head and said, "Sorry, just thinking."
How could have I been so stupid. Damn Ninja Techniques…
At least he said he wouldn't say who you were. Said Sparta
Siles agreed with that and continued to head down the road.
(Two hours later)
"It should be this one here." Said Amy pointing out to an exit of the highway.
Siles turned left and started driving down an old withered road where up ahead was a small town that looked similar to the one Knothole was before the war ended. Siles stopped the bike a mile away and set it down.
"Do you think the team that contacted us is still alright?" asked Amy getting off.
"Chances are…no." Said Siles making sure his handguns, shotgun and Artemis in his coat.
"Must you be so negative?" Asked Amy.
"Negativity happens to nearly almost be reality." Said Siles as he headed into the village with Amy.
Unaware that a creature with no eyes was staring at them from a hidden place.
He left in a flash, determined to tell his master.
(In the village)
Now, when a village is normally invaded by monsters you usually think of all the citizens are afraid and paranoid right?
So how the heck were all these people so…..cheerful?
Amy and Siles looked at each other, both confused. They had only entered the village for 10 minutes and already people were saying hello and asking how the weather was and going on like it was a perfect sunny day in the afternoon.
What the fuck? Asked Cerberus, What's going on here? This is an area where demons are prowling and yet these guys are as happy as children?
Siles agreed.
"This is…odd behavior for a village threatened by demons." Said Amy.
"Maybe a festival?" Asked Siles as they walked through. He spotted something strange symbol.
It was a seal. It was a large circle, which was surrounded by another larger circle a few inches away from it. Between the two circles was the letters in a language that he or his demons didn't know. Inside the smaller circle was an isosceles triangle with a plus cross inside and a squiggle that looped around before it hit the top corner.
This seal was surrounded on all kinds of objects, door, windows, stands, sidewalks, and others.
"Amy.."
"I know…I see them too…demonic?" She asked.
Siles turned to his demons.
Not any demonic seal I know off….Said Sparta.
I've been around a lot of seals, but this one I know nothing about. Said Cerberus.
"Sorry, doesn't ring a bell." Said Siles.
"I don't like this." Said Amy.
"Let's split up and look for information. Come back here when you find anything or not." Said Siles who took off to the left.
He decided to head to a small park area where a few kids were playing and singing something like…
God is here, God will come
Our savior from the high above
To save us soon we will be
A peace life for eternity
Well, that rules out this town worshiping Satanism.
Siles suddenly head a voice say from behind him, "Hello there!"
He turned around to see an old black feathered male raven sweeping up some leaves with a rake. He had a battered old blue long sleeve shirt and jeans with him. He smiled at Siles and said, "Your not from around here huh stranger?"
"No, not really. I'm Siles Drowler. Demon Hunter Bloodtail to some." Said Siles.
"Nice to meet you stranger. So what brings you to this little town of ours." He asked while raking.
"I'm working with the Mobian Inquisition of Freedom. A squad of them came here not to long ago and we lost contact. Have you seen them?" Asked Siles.
"No I haven't. Maybe that lady friend of yours is having better luck." Said the raven.
"How do you know about Amy?" Asked Siles glaring at him.
He chuckled, "Hold on their stranger. I don't mean to be rude. I was watching you come by when you entered this town."
Siles nodded and said, "You got a name?"
"Riddick. Old man Riddick they call me. I just sweep and clean the town up once and a while." Said Riddick who looked at Siles with a smile, "Now if you want to know where your going to find what you want I should ask you this….are you a religious man?"
"Yeah. I guess." Said Siles, how could he not with all that he had been through?
"Then maybe you should see the Church of our Savior. It's just at Checkmore St. Nice church, but I prefer reading the bible instead of the mass." Said Riddick with a smile.
Siles nodded, "What religion?"
"Roman Catholic."
Siles raised an eyebrow, "Funny….not many of those this far from the border that separates the Human Lands and Mobian Lands."
While Roman Catholicism was in the Mobian Lands with Priest Mobians who served the Catholic Church in the human lands, they were only close to the border that separated the two lands. Most other Christian denominations or Mobian made Christian ones were seen farther, like around here or.
"Well, I don't know much. Maybe you should be looking into it." He said with a smirk.
Siles looked at him, confused. Was he trying to hint on him where he should go.
"See you later, stranger." Riddick said as he took his rake and started to leave, "Oh! One more thing…are you afraid of death?"
"No." Said Siles.
"Good….good…" Said Riddick as he disappeared into a crowd and was gone.
Siles looked for him but found him gone….that guy.
Still, he might as well check out the church. He better find Amy.
(With Amy, who took the right path)
Amy meanwhile, was not having as much luck. She had been seeing a lot of people celebrating and, what looked to her, praying.
Finally, she decided to ask an old woman outside a flower shop. She was a grey furred mongoose dressed in a simple white dress that covered her whole body.
"Excuse me. May I ask some questions?" Amy asked.
"Of course, great days be a coming so go ahead." She said with a toothless smile.
"I'm from the Mobian Inquisition and were under the impression that there were demons around here." Said Amy.
The old women laughed as well as others around who over heard her.
"Oh dearly, we don't need to worry about demons. The town is well protected." Said the old women pointing out to the seals.
"See those there? Those are the Seals of Salvation. Father Remiel has shown us how to protect us from the demons and evil ones around here." Said the old women.
"Father Remiel is a priest sent to us by God. He has knowledge that we never knew about." Said a bystander
"But what if the seals fail?" Asked Amy who was curious.
"Oh we don't have to worry about that. He's going to be born soon." Said the old women.
"Born soon? Who?" Asked Amy.
"Why our savior of course. The Son of God. One of our women was visited by God and is bearing a child. And she's a virgin!"
…..
….
….
….
(Later)
"WHATTTTTT!" Cried Siles as well as Sparta and Cerberus in his head.
Amy had just finished telling him what she heard and she couldn't blame him, it sound so ridiculous.
Can it be that Judgment Day came sooner then expected? Asked Cerberus
This can't be possible. We would have known if it was Judgment day or not! But still…. Said Sparta
"Well what do you think?" Asked Siles.
"Look I may not know all about Christianity, but the idea of the savior being born again? I don't buy it." Said Amy.
"Yeah, I mean, despite what's going on now, everyone who is of demon blood would have known it was Judgment Day." Said Siles, "I think some guy, this Priest Remiel, is the one who's manipulating these people into thinking that Christ is going to be born again."
"Has it ever happened before?" Asked Amy.
"Yeah, religious cults say things like they are Jesus or the army of God, or the son of God or things like that." Said Siles.
"But it couldn't have enslaved all these people like that…. maybe something unnatural is going around…maybe instead of God she was impregnated by a demon." Said Amy.
"That has happened before…lets check the church out…that way I can see if there is any demonic essence around it." Said Siles.
After finding out the directions, they headed out.
(At the Church of the Savior)
It wasn't too big. Kind of what you would find in your average normal Catholic Church in your community. It did however have many palms and food donations outside the door, along with messages that gave hopes and prayers for the "New King".
Amy and Siles knocked on the door and a second later a male porcupine with a plain green shirt and black jeans opened the door.
"Yes, can I help you?" He asked.
"Are you a member of this church?" asked Amy.
"Everyone in the town is, I'm head usher. My names Canto." He replied.
"I'm Amy Rose of the Mobian Inquisition, and this is my friend the demon hunter-"
"Bloodtail."
He opened the door fully and said, "Oh, it's a pleasure. Would you like to come in?"
They nodded and entered the church. The entrance hall had a small shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary with candles was seen by the right and on the left was Holy Water where a person could dip their hand in and put it on their forehead. Bloodtail; sensed that it wasn't blessed. He didn't know if that was a bad thing for a reason or not.
"Nice Church." Said Bloodtail.
"Thanks, we built it from scratch three years ago. Ever since Father Remiel came and started preaching the Word of the Lord." Said Canto.
"Is he from the Catholic Church?" asked Bloodtail.
"He says he was trained at St. Michaels Monastery in the Human Lands and went this far to show us the way of our lord." Said Canto.
"You seem to link him a lot." Said Amy.
"You bet. He's helped this community through and through." Said Canto.
"You must be very excited since the "Christ" is being born again." Said Bloodtail.
Canto shifted nervously, which both Amy and Bloodtail noticed, and said, "Yeah…. it is…"
A brief silence had erupted till Amy asked, "May we speak with Father Remiel?"
He snapped out of it and said, "O-Of course!"
He led them down the hall where they arrived at the center of the church.
It was a large circle like room with three different wings (one to the east, west and south) and each wing was filled with pews for the people to sit in and a door for others to get in and out by. In the center of the whole building was a stone alter in place and a green silk covering over it.
To the far right North corner was a gold Tabernacle; this is where the communion is kept. And finally to the North left corner was a door. At the top of the wall to the north was a golden colored version of the seals they saw outside. And finally, up above the seal, was a wooden cross with a statue of Jesus being nailed to it.
"I'll go find Father Remiel for you." Said Canto.
"No need. I am here." Said a voice.
Amy and Bloodtail turned around and saw a young yellow male fox in a black full collar shirt and a black cassock. He had a big smile and a sense of warmth around him.
"Sorry. I notice the door was open and I came here to see who was here. Now I know Canto, but who are you may I ask?" asked Father Remiel.
"Father Remiel, this is Amy Rose of the Inquisition and Bloodtail, a demon hunter." Said Canto introducing them.
He nodded, "An honor it is to meet those who fight for God against our mortal enemy, Satan."
"Nice too meet you too. Father Remiel, we came here on an important matter." Said Amy
"Oh? And what is it? If it's something me and the people can do, we will help in whatever way possible." Said Remiel.
"You see, a squad of the Inquisition was sent over here a few days ago and we had a message of reports of a demons, very powerful ones in fact, that were seen. We lost contact with them and we came here to see if they were found. Have you seen anyone?" asked Amy.
Father Remiel said in a sad tone, ""I'm terribly sorry, but we haven't seen anyone from the Inquisition till you guys showed up. But about you saying that the demons are nearby I believe."
"You do?" asked Amy.
"Father Remiel?" asked Canto confused.
"Canto is it not obvious. Satan is trying to stop the birth of our savior. He is trying to gain way into us and have a chance to kill the unborn child of God. I believe these two." Said Father Remiel who looked at them with a twinkle and said, "Maybe even sent to us by God to protect us."
"But the seals father..." Said Canto.
"The seals are strong, but what if they are not strong enough. We must have as much protection as possible." Said Father Remiel, "You do care for Maria do you not?"
"I….I do….your right…sorry." Said Canto who looked down.
"There is nothing to be ashamed about. You were only being mortal, Canto." Said Father Remiel.
"Yeah…about this whole "Birth of our Savior" thing? I mean, no offence, but do you really believe that such a thing is happening to one of your women right now?" asked Bloodtail.
Father Remiel smiled, "I know it is a strange thing. Maybe even ludicrous, but trust me. This is the time of Jesus' return."
"When did it happen?" asked Bloodtail.
"Maybe Maria, our new Virgin Mary, can tell you. She should be outside by the garden now, I will fetch her." Said Father Remiel who turned around and left.
Amy went over to Canto and said, "Do you really believe this?"
Canto smiled, "It's true. Maria is a friend I have known for a long time…she never is the kind of person who wouldn't lie like this. And she is pregnant, with a baby of no father that our hospitals can find in their records…but that alone is amazing…"
"Why?"
"Because Maria was sterile before she was pregnant." Said Canto.
Amy nodded and motioned Bloodtail to follow her, when they were separated from Canto she whispered, "What do you think?"
"Well…sterilization can only affect mortals…. non mortals or anyone who is not a mortal at all can break this sterilization and cause pregnancy. In other words, if a sterile mortal was to have sex with another mortal then they would be fine, but if they were doing it with a full blooded demon or other divine like being, they have the possibility of being pregnant."
"So she could be holding the son of God in here womb…." Said Amy.
"…Or something else's." Said Bloodtail.
They soon heard the door open and they both turned around to see Father Remiel escorted by someone they assumed was Maria "The New Virgin".
She was a female porcupine wearing a blue dress and high heels. She had a blue eyes that looked so clear as freshwater and it was clear she was pregnant by the size of her stomach.
"This is Maria." Said Father Remiel as he introduced her.
"Pleased to meet you." She said sweetly as she bowed.
Bloodtail and Amy nodded.
"As you can see, the baby is almost ready to come out soon. And when it does, a new happy future for mortals will come." Said Father Remiel.
"No pressure huh?" Asked Bloodtail joking.
Maria giggled, "It is a bit stressful, but I think it's very rewarding."
Canto mumbled something and turned away.
"So….when did this...all happen?" Asked Bloodtail looking for information.
"About 9 months ago. I was praying here at night when a bright white flashed came over me and I was filled with….such strange essence that it had to be that of an angels. A voice then called out, "I choose you to bear the child" and then I felt something push…inside me and infiltrate me to the highest point. Then I woke up and found myself in the center of the church. A weeks later I took a test and I was pregnant. I then told everyone what had happened, but nobody believe me. Then one day at church a white light came during the mass and said "I have choose this one as the mother of my child. Protect her from my enemies" and soon everyone believe that I had been chosen…..as the mother for the new Christ." Said Maria with a proud look in her eyes.
Bloodtail found flaws.
First off...it sounds like she saying God has sex with her, but God didn't have sex with Mary. She was filled with the Holy Spirit and given the birth of the child. God didn't have sex with her.
Yeah, so there might be the possibility she was raped while under an illusion or something. Said Sparta
Maybe we should check out the baby first. Sense anything wrong with it. Said Cerberus.
Good idea
"Maria, if it's alright I would like to scan your baby." Said Bloodtail.
"Why?" asked Maria confused.
"Well….I'll be honest. I don't believe your really carrying the savior of all, but maybe you were under an illusion and had sex with…something else…." Said Bloodtail.
"I fail to see how you can not believe. The signs are all around us." Said Father Remiel, "The demons, the corruption, that cult that sent its message around the world. How can you not believe that she bears the son of God come to save us from the final battle against Satan?"
"And what do you mean scan anyway?" Asked Canto.
Bloodtail sighed, "Look…I'll be honest…I'm a half demon.." Maria and Canto gasped, "But I am on Gods side. I just want to make sure everything is alright."
Canto and Maria looked at Father Remiel who took a moment and then nodded.
"You hut her and…" Said Canto.
"I won't." said Bloodtail as he walked over, gently put his hands on her stomach and tried to sense what was inside.
To his surprise it wasn't an inch of demonic energy in their….in fact there was some angel energy…but that was far outweighed by a different energy. A feeling of dread and void…..a hole that had no fill….it was cold and cruel…..it was…..nothing….
Bloodtail had to stop sensing and took a deep breath, "What…the hell…"
What the fuck was that?
I don't know….I've never felt that before….it was pure….nothing….Said Sparta.
It almost reminds me of the Eighth and Ninth layers of Hell. Said Cerberus, But whatever kind of child that it….it's not the child of God.
"Well….anything demon like?" asked the priest.
"No….but nothing godlike either." Said Bloodtail, "That's not a child of God…..that a child of….I don't know what."
"Maybe since you don't know what God feels like you don't know this at all." Said Father Remiel, "It's getting late and I am sure you are tired. Why don't you spend the day at the inn just a few doors down. Your welcome to stay as long as you like." Said Father Remiel as he went to the door, as opened it as quick as he closed it.
Maria went out while Canto hurried after her.
Amy went over to Bloodtail and said, "Well?"
"Like I said…not demonic….but not godlike….it's something else she's caring." Said Bloodtail.
"Good or evil?" Asked Amy.
"Don't know…..I've got a bad feeling." Said Bloodtail.
Amy nodded her head…she felt the same.
"Maybe I can sense what came here a few months ago by scanning the place." Said Bloodtail.
"Can you do that?" Asked Amy.
"Yeah, but it would take me a while and I think we might be not "as" welcomed here after what I just said." Said Bloodtail, "I'll sneak in here over night and do it then."
"Alright. I'm going to head into the inn…..you going to come?" Asked Amy.
"Naw, I need to take a walk and make a phone call. I'll be with you soon." Said Bloodtail.
"All right. See you." Said Amy as she left back the way they came and Bloodtail went though the doors to the right.
As Amy was about to head out the door she heard two people arguing outside the door. She waited and listened.
"All I'm saying…is maybe we should really make sure…"
"Canto when will you understand…I know this is the child of God."
"But what it's not? What if his Bloodtail guy is telling the truth!"
"He's half demon…."
"Father Remiel trusts him….."
"True….but please Canto….have faith…"
Amy heard somebody leave and a sigh.
"I'm just scared….that's all."
Amy opened the door and a surprised Canto saw her and jumped.
"Oh….were you….listening to that?" Asked Canto.
"Yeah….don't worry I think you have every right to be worried about her." Said Amy smiling.
Canto sighed, "Yeah….ever since she got….pregnant….I've been having a bad feeling."
"You two close?" Asked Amy.
"Yeah…we've known each other since we were kids." Said Canto smiling.
Amy nodded, "Say, think you can show me the way to the inn? I don't known where it is."
"Sure, follow me." Said Canto who looked around and said, "Where's your friend?"
"He's talking a walk."
"How long have you've known he was a half demon?" He asked.
"A while now. Kind of a shock, but he's a nice guy." Said Amy.
"How close are you two?" Asked Canto.
Amy thought about it…..how much was she close to Bloodtail?
(With Bloodtail)
He managed to find an ally that wasn't crowded and alone. He took his cell phone and called the person who he wanted to talk too.
(At the Mobian HQ in Knothole)
"Come on!"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Just one date!"
"No!"
"I-"
"Sugar…you keep asking and I'll stomp your foot flat." Said Bunnie who was getting annoyed at this.
Jake sighed, "Fine, you wish to be single all your life. Be my guess…."
Jake turned around and took a left though the halls where he saw Rotor walking in the opposite direction.
"She turned you down again?" He asked.
"Shut up." Said Jake sighing.
"Look, Bunnie isn't interested in any guys. Mobian or Human. You better find somebody else." Said Rotor lighting a smoke.
"I know…but her boobs….as big as melons." Said Jake all dreamy.
"You know half her body is metallic right?" Asked Rotor trying to make the guys see reason.
"So? The other half isn't."
Rotor looked at him, "I still find it strange that you have that much of a love for a Mobian female."
"So? The same thing is for some Mobians who are in love with humans." Said Jake
"Touché." Said Rotor walking off.
Jake continued walking till his phone rang. He took it out and said, "Jake here, if this isn't an incredible and sexy women, I'm going to hang up."
"Bunnie turn you down again?" Asked Bloodtail on the other line.
"I'm shocked buddy. For all you know I may have wooed her, got her naked, had sex with her, and then woke up from the phone I am on and she could be right next to me butt naked with the most enjoyable experience of her life."
"She shot you down."
"…..like a one winged duck." Said Jake growling, "Well, besides my failures of getting laid, what's up?"
"Besides nearly throwing up from what you just said, I need your help."
"What is it?"
"I need you to get in touch with the Vatican. Have them search for the record of a Father Remiel, a mobian who went to St. Michaels Monetary." Said Bloodtail.
"Sure. So is Amy with you?"
"No she waiting for me at the inn…."
"Waiting….ohhhh..I see…." Said Jake smiling.
"Huh?"
"Nothing….I'll let you get their and have you fun. Though I want details later."
"WAIT A MI-"
Beep.
(With Amy, at the inn room)
Amy and Canto entered the lobby and then got the key to the room Amy and Bloodtail would be staying in. Canto sat with Amy in the lobby waiting for the return of Bloodtail.
"Do you really think Maria is going to be okay?' Asked Canto.
"Don't know…..you must really be worried…." Said Amy.
Canto sighed, "Well…..the thing is…..I….love her."
Amy smiled, That was obvious.
"And…I told her this….but she's said that she had to put her child and God first…I told I could be like Joseph you know? But she said she couldn't be burden with this….even though…..she loves me too." Said Canto with a depressed sigh.
"I'm sorry." Said Amy.
"I guess this is what you have to go though when you're in love." Said Canto who turned to her and said, "Have you ever been in love?"
Amy smiled, "I had a crush on this guy, but it was just a silly one."
She could remember all the times she asked Sonic to be her husband or go out on a date with her when she was younger.
"Anyone else?"
"Well…."
For a second, Amy had an image of a yellow 12-year-old two tailed fox.
"….not really."
"Oh….I see." Said Canto.
"Hey."
They both looked to see Bloodtail, who entered, come towards them.
"Sorry for the wait." Said Bloodtail.
Canto nodded and said, "I guess I'll see you guys later."
"Hey Canto." Asked Bloodtail.
"Yeah?"
"What was the room that Father Remiel went into?"
"That's his private room. Nobody, but him is allowed into it." Said Canto, "Why?"
"Just curious." Said Bloodtail.
Canto accepted that and left.
Amy looked at him and said, "Curious?"
"What? Is it that hard to believe?" Asked Bloodtail.
Amy looked at him.
"Okay, so maybe I think that the priest is hiding something. I don't like him." Said Bloodtail.
"I know…come on let's get to our room."
They both walked over to room 112 and opened the door. It was small with a tiny kitchen and bathroom. A small chair as well, but they both had their eyes on something.
A single large bed for two.
Amy and Bloodtail blushed.
Sparta and Cerberus were laughing like crazy.
(Later that night)
Amy watched as Bloodtail checked his weapons again before he was about to head out the door.
"You sure you don't want me to come with you?" She asked.
"Don't worry. I'll be fine. Besides, I think I should get this done as quick as possible." Said Bloodtail.
"When will you be back?" She asked.
"Don't know. But I think an hour or two at most." He said before opening the door.
"Be careful." Said Amy.
"Aren't I always?"
"No."
He gave her a smile and left.
(Outside the church)
Bloodtail slowly walked to the church.
Are you sure I have the power to do this?
Maybe. I mean, even though it's been 9 months, what ever made Maria pregnant had to have left some of its energy behind. It's the best lead we got so far anyway. Said Cerberus who was an expert in sensing energy. And you have me, I've never not found a scent I was looking for.
Yep, he's our own Scooby Doo. Said Sparta.
Call me that again and I'll rip your throat out. Said Cerberus
Bite me. Said Sparta.
Bloodtail had reached the door and was about to open it when….
"Evening stranger."
Bloodtail turned around and pointed his pistols as Riddick, who was behind him sweeping up leaves.
"Nice night for a stroll huh?" asked Riddick with a smile.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Asked Bloodtail still keeping his pistols aimed.
"Just doing my night work, which happens to be my day work too." Said Riddick sweeping.
"Who are you?" asked Bloodtail.
"Just an old man…" Said Riddick who said, "Now I believe you have to get in there and see what's going on. And don't worry….the priest is out tonight having dinner at somebody's house. So you got all night." Said Riddick who continued his work.
Bloodtail put his guns away and whispered, "What is it with me and meeting strangers who always give cryptic answers."
He opened the door and entered into the main part of the church. He stood in the middle and closed his eyes. He then sent his energy everywhere into the room, trying to find whatever it was that made Maria pregnant. He concentrated and kept looking till he found something.
It was a small energy reading, but it was clear enough to feel…nothing.
That's what it felt like. Nothing.
Bloodtail opened his eyes and thought What creature could have an energy reading of….nothing?
Don't know. Cerb?
Beats me.
Well, only one other lead to follow on.
Bloodtail looked at the door that the priest went through, it was the only thing left to search. He opened it and found a long narrow stone tunnel that lead a few feet downward.
Closing it behind him, he slowly walked down, ready at any moment, towards wherever the tunnel was talking him. He finally arrived at a small steel elevator that led downward. Having no other choice but to try it out, he went in and pushed the metal handle down, letting the elevator slowly make it's way down.
He went down for a long time, about 30 minutes in fact before he reached the next floor.
Kid of a lot for a priest huh?
The room he had arrived on was very large and square shaped. Ahead of him was a large steal door that he went out to open when…..
BBZZZZZAAAPPPPPP!
BANG!
He was shot down across the room from the electric blast he got from the door and landed on the wall hard. He groaned as he looked at the wall to see an demonic electric energy field surrounding it.
Electric sparks could be seen as Bloodtail groaned at the pain, "That….was unexpected."
Guess what ever is there the priest doesn't want us to see. Said Sparta, You alright?
"Yeah…..just extremely thirsty." Said Bloodtail.
"Here you go."
Bloodtail took the water handed to him and said, "Thanks." Just as he started drinking, he froze and looked to his right.
"Hi!" Said Jester smiling.
PHHHS!
Bloodtail spit the water our and got up, "What the fuck! Are you a stalker or something!"
"Why? Shocked to see me?" He asked with a smile.
"Ha ha, What do you want now?" asked Bloodtail.
"Simple Fox Boy! I want to quiz you on something, answer this and maybe you are smarter then a fifth grader!" He said.
Bloodtail sighed, This guy….
Answer it, then he'll leave quicker. Sparta said.
"Fine, give me the question." Said Bloodtail.
"Okay then! For one million dollars…..what do you do to counter attack an electric door with positive energy?" Asked Jester.
…
…
…
"If I knew that then I wouldn't be fucking near fried chicken you ass!" he said angerly.
"Wrong! The answer is negative energy! All you need Fox Boy is an electrical impulse that will counter the shields energy!" Said Jester.
Actually….that sort of makes sense. Said Cerberus.
A first.
"So where do I find this electric impulse?" Asked Bloodtail.
"Why don't you take a trip to the Cavern's of Lost Souls? It's a very nice place to go to this time of the year and you get to meet a nice lady their too!" Said Jester who growled like a lion, "And man is she one nice bitch to fuck!"
Bloodtail then asked, "Why are you helping me anyway? And how come you appeare and dissapoear like cray. What are you?"
"WHo? I am Jester that is all. How? I just can. Why? BECAUSE IT'S JUST FOR LAUGHS! !" He said before a crack of smoke blocked Bloodtail's vision of him and he disappeared.
Bloodtail looked around to see if he could find him, but he was long gone.
Ideas?
Well, guess we can find this Cave of Lost Souls and see if what he says is true. After all he has helped us so far. Said Sparta.
Question is why? What's he after?
(Outside the Church)
Bloodtail had made his way out to find, not to his surprise, Riddick still their cleaning up the leaves.
"So, you found something?" He asked.
"Yeah, an annoying laughing clown and a shock." Said Bloodtail.
"Well then, where are you off too next?" asked Riddick.
"You seem to be very curious." Said Bloodtail.
"And your very interesting stranger." Said Riddick.
"Kind of like you know what's going on." Said Bloodtail.
"Maybe, but I think its best if you make your tail go southwest and keep going till you see a fishing dock where I think a boat will be waiting for purchase." Said Riddick who walked away into the shadows of the night and disappeared.
Bloodtail raised his eyebrow, "Was he hinting me?"
Duh They both said.
(On the road)
Bloodtail managed to summon his bike and started heading out southwest at once, he hated not knowing how both this Jester and Riddick guy were able to know so much, but he had to admit, they were helpful.
He took his phone and called Amy, but got a recored message instead.
"Amy, listen. I got a lead to some place. A place called the Cavern of Lost Souls. I need you to keep both you and Maria away from Father Remiel. I saw some things a normal priest wouldn't have. I-"
He stopped as he sensed familer demonic energys gaining up on him.
"…will get back as soon as possible."
Beep.
(Now playing: A place for my head, by Linkin Park)
He took out his Rebellion blade and looked to see who was coming behind him.
They finally showed themselves as hey gave out wild cries of insanity and rage.
Hell Bikers.
They were demons created by the evil of hell that rode through all the layers causing chaos and misfortune for all souls sent to hell. They had red biker gear on with skull faces and spiked helmets like the Kaiser ones from WWII. They each had Orange County Choppers with flames and black rusted parts with a black skull in the front that glowed blue from the inside. They had chains around their hands for weapons and spikes on the wheels to mow down people over.
The first three came near Bloodtail and each laughed as Bloodtail just smirked and pulled ahead with the three following. They shook their chains in the air and threw them, which extended and aimed for Bloodtail, but he swerved to the left and right to avoid them.
Then he turned his bike around and grabbed one of the chains and started making his way towards them. Bloodtail, still holding the chain, drove past them, but the chain, which was connected to the far left bikers arm, slammed into the other two and knocked them off their bikes which and into the ground where they became mere skeletons as they had to be one their bikes to live.
He then threw the biker off this bike with the chain and sent him into a tree and crumbled.
He then turned around with the rest of the pack following him. He sliced some trees and branches to slow them down, but they managed to jump over them with their bikes or plow through them. Bloodtail then looked ahead and suddenly noticed he was heading for a cliff that the sea was right under. Making a sharp left turn he managed to avoid going over the cliff and into the water.
The other bikers followed suit, except for one, which was too late turning and fell into the water.
Bloodtail substituted for his Artemis gun and stated firing from behind, but they little damage as the bikes or the chains blocked the needles. Seeing this he decided to use the second fire sequence and held down the trigger. A large purple energy orb appeared in front of the gun. When it was big enough he let go of the trigger and it head straight towards the leading Hell Biker who gasped and yelled in rage as he bike connected with the org and exploded taking two more bikes with it.
Bloodtail smiled, thankful that Rotor put the "Sphere" fire mode he put in.
He kept them chasing after him for a couple of more minutes till he then suddenly pulled on the brakes and took out Rebellion. The Hell Bikers were surprised by this move and went past Bloodtail who took them out with some hide speed cuts that cut their bikes in two and made them explode.
There were only a few left.
Siles drove at an equal speed with them and stated to block the incoming chains with his blade. He finally got one wrapped around his sword and he pulled the demon off and started swinging him and the chain around his sword like a mace, which got rid of three Hell Bikers who were knocked into the ocean.
Bloodtail finally made the Hell Biker he had stab into the sword and made it disappear along with the chain.
He then stood on both legs on the bike and took out his two pistols. Controlling it like a skateboard he drove around and started shooting it twosome time style and drilled holes into he demons and their bikes.
Bloodtail then put energy into his legs and jumped very high into the air. He gathered as much energy into the guns and started to rain down high-powered demon charged bullets on the remaining bikers, which caused the bikes to explode with one bullet each.
He flipped a few times in the air before landing on his bike, which had kept moving and stopped. He looked ahead.
Bloodtail saw their was one more Hell Biker Left and it was swinging it's chain like crazy.
Bloodtail smirked. Time for some Chicken.
He reared up his bike as the Hell Biker did as well.
The two of them then charged forward, increasing their speed as much as possible. Slowly, yet still in a fast way, they got closer and closer till they were nearly three feet apart.
Time seemed to slow down like in Bullet mode.
The Hell Biker launched it's chain, but Bloodtail forced the Bike to skid on it's side and ram into the other bike which caused it to flip over into the air. Bloodtail then pulled out his shotgun and fired two bullets that said "Good" and "Bye" on them as they hit the bike causing it to explode in real time.
Bloodtail stood up with his bike and watched the Hell Biker's bike burn off into rubble.
Looks like someone doesn't want me going to this cave…good…..means I'm on the right track.
He then drove on
(End of song)
End
Yeah, sorry about the cliffhanger, but I wanted to end it here. The next part is coming in two weeks, after I do my Solar Warriors chapter.
As for the key and legends, I decided to let that come up next chapter for both parts.
Read and Review. Music still available for contest.
Later.
