'They've killed 10 out of 47 people needed so far,' hissed Dio mentally. 'I hope we make it.'

"Eleven," corrected Arisu, reading his mind as she counted the kills.

"This is bad," growled Dio.

At last, they arrived in town, gasping as they saw a corpse fly fast their heads.

"Twelve," Arisu counted sadly.

Standing a few feet in front of them were Scarlet and Ogre, chasing after towns people. Ogre of course was unable to kill anyone, but Arisu and Dio could see the joy in his eyes as Scarlet killed in his place. She took hold of a man and snapped his neck.

"Thirteen," Arisu sobbed, reading the minds of the pained people even louder now that they were so close."

"Oh, look who came to stop us," chuckled Ogre, smirking at Arisu and Dio.

"We're here for Aya!" Dio called, grabbing a pipe that was sitting nearby. "And we aren't afraid to use force."

"Well then," chuckled Ogre. "Scarlet, care to take care of them?"

"My pleasure," she cackled after plunging a knife into someone's chest, finishing them off."

"Fourteen," cried Arisu.

"This is madness!" cried Dio, directing his anger at Ogre. "What do you honestly hope to accomplish?! After you've collected 50 souls you can start invading the human world, right? But why?! What'll you gain when the world is destroyed?!"

"Absolutely nothing," sighed Ogre. "Perhaps I'm just a greedy bastard."

"Seriously! There must be some purpose to this!" growled Dio, eyes growing more intense with anger. "You wouldn't put us through all this pain and suffering for nothing!"

"Actually, you're wrong Dio," snarled Ogre. "I'm doing this because I love to watch people suffer. How thrilling would it be to wipe out all humans? This pathetic Earth can finally belong to those of my kind. No longer will we be despised. The Earth will be just for us. Can you not understand my philosophies?"

"No! I can't!" screamed Dio, wishing he could beat the hell out of Ogre.

"What a shame," sighed Ogre, turning his back to Dio and Arisu. "Scarlet, raise our count to sixteen."

Scarlet smiled evilly, blood smeared across her body. "Whatever you say, baldy."

Scarlet pulled an axe from a stump nearby, swiping her finger across the blade to test its sharpness. Even through she'd barely grazed the blade, her finger began bleeding immediately.

"Sharp," she said, admiring it. "Not bad for a human's tool."

Arisu's eyes flashed suddenly as Scarlet took a swipe at her. Arisu back-flipped quickly, dodging with ease. Dio stared at her in awe. Something wasn't right about Arisu. There was no way she could've dodged like that.

"Dio, right?" asked...Arisu. No. Sarah had possessed her.

"Oh, so your spirit kicks in when Arisu is in trouble?" asked Dio backing up a bit.

"Yup. Arisu's the only medium I have that I can enter. She isn't a Drevis, yet in a way, she is. She's so like me too."

"Now isn't the time to chat," mentioned Dio, pointing at Scarlet. "That's Scarlet, Aya's evil half. We need to stop her and fast. If Scarlet kills exactly 33 more people, Ogre's going to unleash demons onto the Earth."

"I never liked that man," sighed Sarah, shaking her head. "It'll be fun to take him on."

"Enough talk!" shouted Scarlet, raising the axe. You're all dead meat!"

Scarlet swung the axe at Dio, who quickly reacted, leaning back and dodging. However, he threw himself back to far, causing himself to fall on the ground. Scarlet then took another swing.

Sarah grabbed Scarlet's arms, trying to buy Dio some time, but she was quickly shook off and Scarlet went in for the kill. There was no way for Dio to dodge now, he was ready to say his last words.

"Aya, I love you!" he called at the top of his lungs, closing his eyes so he wouldn't see it when he died.

After a few seconds of silence, Dio looked up, noticing that Scarlet had paused, aze shaky in her hands.

"Dammit! Stay put!" growled Scarlet. Dio knew she must be yelling at Aya.

Scarlet quickly ran off, holding her head, running after more villagers. "She can't fight me if I'm just picking off strangers."

"What the hell?!" Dio called out as Scarlet sliced down three people. "She suddenly just goes and kills innocent people?!"

"Aya is fighting back," explained Sarah. "She isn't allowing Scarlet to hurt those close to her, but Aya isn't strong enough to prevent her from murdering strangers. It isn't as if Aya loves anyone besides you two, am I right?"

"If Scarlet can't fight you," growled Ogre, letting her kill the civilians. "Then I'll summon someone who will kill you without hesitation. I believe that you 'killed' him, but in fact, I managed to revive him before his spirit moved on."

As Ogre spoke, Scarlet cut down five more, meaning that Ogre needed but 25 more souls to invade. He was halfway there.

"Who the fuck are you talking about?!" screamed Dio, getting frustrated with Ogre's riddles. He never said anything outright. "We haven't killed anyone!"

"Oh, but you have," chuckled Ogre, sounding very pleased. "He was a cruel man, who used both you and Arisu as test subjects. The doctor is in the house..."

Sarah's spirit faded away as Arisu forced her out of her body, knowing what was up ahead. She wanted to be the one to deal with this, not some random spirit. Dio and Arisu held hands, watching in horror as there nightmares stepped out of Ogre's portal. They remembered the needles, all the blood, and their own horrid screams. The smell of chemicals lingered in the air. The smell that made them want to puke, scream, and warned them that pain was ahead. Alfred Drevis stepped out of the portal, chainsaw in hand.

"Hello...friends," cackled Alfred, pushing his hand through his hair as he started up the chainsaw. "Did you miss me?"

Alfred took a look around, listening as people screamed. He turned to face Scarlet, who had just slaughtered two more people. 23 left to go.

"Oh, did my precious Aya finally give in to the dark side?" he chuckled, looking rather amused.

"Not completely!" hissed Dio, scowling with all his hatred. "Scarlet's here temporarily. Aya is still in there and if you could get the hell out of the way, I'll be taking her back!"

"I don't think so," said Alfred, that cocky smile of his returning to his face. That devilish smile was covered though as he pulled up his mask. He adjusted his broken glasses, a mad look gleaming in his eyes.

"IF YOU THOUGHT BEING MY SUBJECT WAS PAINFUL BEFORE, JUST YOU WAIT! THIS WILL BE MY ULTIMATE EXPERIMENT! BLOOD! RED! THIS WILL BE YOUR DEMISE! HAHAAAHAAAAAA!"
