A/N: In my opinion, this chapter is the most... cheesiest of them all... When you read, you will understand and will either agree or disagree with me. I am sorry if it is very cheesy.
I was half surprised and half not surprised. I mean I was surprised that my daughter just showed me a possible future where I no longer live. But I wasn't surprised that I had died so soon, I mean, maybe I was, and maybe I wasn't. I can't really tell at this moment in time. I knew it was going to happen sooner or later. My daughter might be cured from the curse, but I'm still not. I could drop dead because of it anytime now.
But I couldn't just think about it now, I mean we are still in a facility where my so called siblings are. Or judges, or whatever Andrew had called them. And they needed to die, that's that. So I couldn't possibly worry over the fact that I'm going to be missing my children's lives. The depressing part was that the grave had my date of death. And boy, was it engraved in my skull…
"Cam?" Dante's asked, his voice took me out of my world and brought me to reality.
"Huh?"
"You okay?"
"Who me? Yeah, I'm fine…"
"You sure? You look pale."
"I'm fine, Dante. Don't be such a worrywart. It's not your character," Dante laughed. "Let's get this over with. Everyone ready?"
Everyone nodded.
"What's the plan?" Andrew asked. No one responded. "T-there is a plan…right?"
"Eh." I said.
"Eh? What does 'eh' mean?" Andrew said panicking.
"It means what it sounds…" I mumbled. "Let's go kick some ass!"
We took caution when walking through the hallway to the room where we are going to have our arena. When we got to the metal door, we decided to do a… wakeup call per say… I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, and then let it out and took another deep breath and kicked the door, and it flying across the room. The room was huge, with a bunch of wires and tubes that were filled with naked people. It was a breeding room, where instead of being born by mothers, these things were being born by tubes. And the person breeding them was standing in the middle of the room.
"Ah, well if it isn't my daughter." The man said. The man was about Dante's height with slick gray hair. He looked young, and but his eyes were old, they looked like they had seen a lot of years. The thing was; I didn't know him.
"Excuse me?" I said confused. My father died when Dante and I (along with Apoy), had escaped the facility. Dr. Mundus, my father, did not look like this guy. Plus the last time I saw my father, he was in a wheel chair.
"You are not my father." I said at last.
"Oh, but I am." Said the man.
"My father died years ago."
"Oh, you mean, Dr. Mundus? He wasn't really your father per say."
"Excuse me?" I said again. This was becoming very confusing.
"He thought he was the father of you. But he wasn't. I am."
"I'm sorry… You lost me…"
The man sighed. "Would you like to take a paternity test?"
"No, not really."
The man sighed again. "Well then. Dr. Mundus is not your father, I am. Tracy is your mother."
"I am aware of the fact that Tracy is my mother. I am also aware of the fact that she died at the age of twenty five. He powers killed her. What I don't understand is the fact that your saying that your my father and not Dr. Mundus."
"Your mother's death was so sudden and tragic…" I rolled my eyes. This guy was pissing me off. "I loved your mother, but your mother didn't love me…she loved him."
"Who? Dr. M?" Dante asked.
"Yes, that ungrateful fool. He took everything away from me! My work, my life, even the love of my life!"
"Then how the hell am I your daughter? You're not answering my freaking question, crazy dude."
"We made love…or at least I made love to your mother. She… wasn't willingly to…"
My eyes widened in disbelief. "You..you raped my mother?" Anger shot threw me, I clenched my fist hard, my nails digging into my own skin.
"Rape, is such a harsh word…" The man said.
"You are NOT my father, you fucking bastard."
"That's not very nice to talk to your father."
"Yeah, sister. That's not very nice…" A familiar voice said. Out of nowhere, a young girl appeared next to the crazy dude.
"Alice? I thought I killed you!"
"You did."
"Oh my god…" I groaned. This was not making sense what's so ever. Demons, make sense, somewhat. But living dead? Not so much…oh boy… I am going to have a major headache when this shit is over. "Why can't everything that we kill just stay dead for gods sakes…"
"Father was nice and brought me back to life…"Alice mumbled she began to play with porcelain dolls that came out of nowhere.
"Yes, yes… speaking of which… Camael, I believe it's time to meet your other siblings." The man said snapping his fingers. Mist begin to fill the room, loud noises coming from the tubes.
"I do not like where this is going…" Dante said grabbing my hand and pulling me away from the man.
"You don't like where this is going? I don't like where this is going…"
"Now be with us my daughter! Be with your family!"
I stared at him for a couple of awkward silence, and then I licked my lips, and bared my fangs. "Look pal… I was with my family before you decided to kidnap my children!"
"That's not your family." Alice said harshly, her eyes widened when I shot her a death glare.
"Now, now… there's no need for hostility."
"Old man, you have not seen hostility…"
"Now… you will either come willingly, daughter. Or we can see your term of hostile."
"Why the hell would I come willingly, you crazy old man."
"Tsk." He said shaking his head.
"Cam…" Lady said cautiously, she was backing towards the door that we came from. "I have a very bad feeling about this."
"You're not the only one…" Dante said his hand on the hilt of Rebellion.
Then all of a sudden the mist cleared up and we were facing what looked like zombies –just minus the zombie looks… But with the snap of the man's fingers their heads jerked up their eyes closed. We took our battle positions. Then just like that they attacked. They were faster than anything that we have ever faced. We couldn't help each other out, we had our own fights. Damn, this bastard is going to die…
I was facing three of my so called siblings, including Alice. They were so fast, I couldn't even keep up. I was being thrown like a doll, and boy did I feel like an abused doll. Within five minutes of the fight my lip was already bleeding, I was short of breath, and I'm pretty sure that one of my ribs is broken.
"What? Done already sister?" a boy said, he seemed to be at least thirteen years old, tall with a slim build. He had grabbed me by my hair and brought me up to his face. "You're not giving us much of a fun dear sister."
"Now, now Todd…" Alice chastened , "We need her alive."
"Why?" I managed to say.
"Alice, father told us not to tell." A girl, who apparently was Mary-Kate said, her voice soft.
"I'm not going to tell. I'm just making sure that our lovely sister stays alive."
"I rather die, than be here with you." I spit out one of my broken teeth, it didn't matter really since if I survive this, it would grow back.
Todd gritted his teeth and threw me against the wall. I slid down the wall and coughed up some blood. This was not good. Even if I were to go to my demon form, I didn't have the strength to switch. I was losing conscious. Not good.
"Father, she's slipping." Someone said, probably another sibling, who knows I many have.
"Kill the others." The man said.
No! I thought, though I really did want to scream it, but my lips wouldn't part, my eyes were having a hard time staying open. I felt my body collapse to the ground, I felt like I was slipping. My eyes were closing into complete darkness.
"LEAVE THEM ALONE!" A voice yelled. The voice seemed very familiar, but I couldn't place who it was. Their voice brought me back to life. "Brother, how is she?"
"Not too good. She's slipping, I think one of her ribs is broken."
"You think you can heal it?"
"Probably."
"Heal. Dad and I'll help the others."
"When you're done healing join the fight!" Another voice said, it sounded awfully like Dante.
The boy, probably the brother of the girl, helped me sit up. His hands were cold and then a little bit warm. Then I got agonizing pain where my rib was broken.
"I know it hurts, but the pain will soon pass… hopefully."
I opened my eyes. Crutching in front of me was a boy of the age around seventeen or eighteen; his hair was black with a mixture of silver, his eyes a gray blue. Honestly I was looking at a younger version of Dante.
Apparently my confusion was showing on my injured face. "I know you have questions, but we need to get the others to safety." I simply nodded, the boy looked me over once more before joining the fight with the others. Alone, the girl who had screamed had defeated at least five of my so called siblings. When she was fighting Alice, she landed near me. I got a good look at her back. She had curly blonde hair that was pulled into pigtails. She was wearing a black Lolita dress, and heels that were like at least two inches. She had an arm blade, and it wasn't any other arm blade. It was my arm blade.
I looked between her arm blades and mine. How can she have my arm blades when I'm wearing them? It didn't make any sense. Then, something clicked inside my spinning head.
It couldn't be them… could it? I never heard of time traveling or dimension traveling (except from hell to the human world). So this is a dream right? Pinched self, ouch. Nope not a dream. This is real. Oh dear god… My daughter and son were saving me. Shouldn't it be the other way around? I'm gonna need a drink after this. Unless my poor brain decides to explode while trying to process this.
Then I looked over towards the man, that the girl called him "father", and guess what. He looked exactly like Dante…just with a different outfit. My jaw dropped and I could feel my eyes widening.
I quickly closed my jaw and began to try to get the puzzle pieces connected. And I wasn't doing much of a good job because I was getting a magraine. How was this even possible!
"You don't belong in this time!" The girl said, who if I'm right, is an older version of Eva. The same Eva from my vision or Eva's vision… some sort of vision.
"Nor do you Eva!" The man called out to her. "Why would I want to live in a world where I die? There's no fun in that! In this time I can surpass my death!"
"By doing that you screwed up the whole future!" She shot back. She was still battling Alice, but she was almost finished (Alice, I mean. Eva's almost finished battling or killing Eva). Older Eva grabbed Alice's hair and pulled. "Do you mind?" She then threw her across the room, pulling out a shotgun out of nowhere, Eva shot and what came after was a high pitch scream coming from Alice before she disintegrated.
"You are no fun, time traveler." The man said snapping his fingers. Lightning struck her.
"Bastard!" She exclaimed. Yup, she totally takes after me.
Eva began fighting the man, who had created to swords out of thin air. Dante, the future one, was standing in front of me, looking down at me.
"Y-yes?" I managed to say, still confuse over here.
He kneeled down so we could be eye level. "Confusing isn't?"
"You think?"
He laughed. "How are you feeling?"
"Other than the fact that my brain is having the worst migraine ever? Peachy. So you guys are from the future?"
"Somewhat…"
"What does that mean? Oh and look out." Future Dante rolled to avoid an earth attack from one of my siblings. I lifted my hand and the rocks stopped only for a few seconds before they went flying back to the user. The sibling hit the wall then was sliced in half by the other Dante.
"Eva sent us… more like she summoned us…" Silence.
"what?"
Dante laughed again. "I know, I know… it's confusing. But Eva, baby Eva, thought you were in danger, so she summoned us. I'm not really sure how this works. All I know is that man," He pointed to the sword fight between the man and Future Eva. "should not be in this time dimension. He died before you were even born. Dr. Mundus killed him once he found out what happened to your mother."
"And… how do you know about this?"
Dante sighed. "Can't tell you."
"Why, because the future will change? If you haven't noticed, that man over there, apparently is not supposed to be in this time. So I think the future is changed. And if he's not supposed to be in this time, then the kid napping of my- our children was also not supposed to happen. Am I making any sense what so ever?"
"She does have a point, old man." Aiden said coming over with two lifeless siblings, who were turning into ashes as he walked over. "We were never kidnapped, well from the future we came from that is… but since we were, its messed up the future, causing me to have new memories and forgetting certain ones."
"What memory are you forgetting?" Future Dante asked.
Aiden blushed. "Um… I'm starting to forget the first time."
"The first time of what?"
"The first time I had sex…" he mumbled.
"What?" Future Dante and I said in unison.
"I'm forgetting the first time I had sex!" Aiden yelled.
I just stared at my future son, while his future father laughed.
Just then this time's Dante, Lady and Trish came to join me in my awkward moment.
"What the hell is go- whose he?" Dante asked looking at Future Dante.
"I'm you." Future Dante said.
This time's Dante looked between me and Future Dante.
I shrugged. "Don't look at me."
"How can you be me, when I'm standing right here? You sure you're not Virgil?"
"How can I be my brother when he's dead?"
Present Dante opened his mouth but nothing came out of it for a few moments. "So you're what? From the future?"
"Yes."
"You have got to be kidding me…" Present Dante mumbled, "I can deal with demons, so called 'angels', crazy priests, and crazy scientists… but people from the future? I don't think I can handle that."
"Why not? Like you said, you've dealt with crazy priests and scientists before. So why can't you accept time traveling."
"Not in my nature."
"Oh really."
"Guys." I said, trying to get up, Aiden helped me up. The guys were continue to bicker. "Guys!"
"What?" Both Dante's said at the same time.
"Bicker later, fight now!" I shoved my way between the two and walked my way towards the fight between Eva and the past dude, who we have not yet discovered his name. Along the way I was flicking off my siblings one by one. "Eva, why don't you go play with the other guys. I got this."
Eva and the man stopped fighting. She was worn out, breathing heavily. Her body looked clean but her dress was a disaster, rips were everywhere on the dress.
"Bu-"
"Last time I checked, I'm still your mother. From the future or not."
She groaned and stomped her feet towards the siblings. Yup, she was totally my daughter.
"Want to play, daughter?" The man said bowing.
"No." The man's face frowned.
"Oh come on, Camael. It's a father and daughter bonding."
"My father is dead."
No response from the old man.
"How did you even get here?"
"A kind doctor… what was her name again… Frost and I think there was another one…Heaven?"
A cold chill went down my spine, when he said his name. He was one of the doctors at the facility, last time I checked he died. The words from the mysterious man at the store came back to me. "Their coming back," he said. Right now, I see nothing of them coming back. Except for their names.
"You know I can bring them back, right?"
"Bring who back?"
"The doctors and your brother."
Xander. he was my crazy brother that I had murdered back when Dante and I were escaping the facility. "I would love to see you try."
That brought a smile to his face. And then it was like a blast of wind hit me. I was sent flying to the back wall along with the others, including my siblings (dead and alive). A bright light stood where the man was, and once it faded. I saw my nightmare.
The man turned into some sort of creature. He was tall, about the height of the building. His lower half of his body was dragon legs with a giant ass dragon tail with huge pointy spikes. His torso and arms were like a giant lions. His head was a giant skeleton skull with horns.
My eyes widened at the nightmare, as he roared into the roof causing it to cave in. Eva and I had created a barrier around the group.
When the roof was done caving in on us, we let the barrier go. Only to see something that I did not want to witness in my entire life; the creature roared once more and that caused every sibling both alive and dead to get blown towards the creature. Once every sibling was either flying around him or was lying near him, the creature began to devour them.
