Chapter 11: Dive into Terror
Alyssa cried out in the dark storm as she clung to Slayer's armor and feeling his clawed gauntlets clutch onto her sides, his red cloak covered her and protected her from oncoming debris and other objects that happened to be in the way. Slayer had no trouble holding the young Rooder, but was under attack from furniture and flying debris, but he would survive. Suddenly, as soon as the storm had begun, it stopped, leaving the Rooder and the Subordinate in the lobby of the Hamilton Manor. The two held each other for dear life, eyes closed as they heard an evil laughter fill the room. "Slayer!" The voice called. The Black Knight's red vaporous eyes flared as he let Alyssa go and retrieved his trusty HellRaiser.
"That voice..." He murmured as he looked around the house and spotting the man in black. Alyssa clutched Slayer's red cloak with fear as the Subordinate faced off with the man in black. "So... Master! I knew you had something to do with this!" The Black Knight said as he held the blade poised for an attack. The man in back chuckled evilly.
"Slayer, Slayer, Slayer... What have I told you about fitting in with the wrong crowds?" He sing songed. Slayer seemed to ignore the sarcastic question.
"What do you want! You couldn't let me die in peace... What do you want from me?" Slayer roared out.
The man in black shook his head. "All I ever wanted form you, my dear Subordinate, is your loyalty and I see that you have yet to pledge that to me!" He said. Alyssa looked at the two in question as to weather they were about to fight or not. But The man in black turned his attention to Alyssa. "I see that you were able to defeat two of my Subordinates, but don't think that it's over yet!" He said as he waved his cane and a purple energy weaved its way between Slayer and Alyssa, lifting the two of them into the air and juggled them around. Alyssa screamed at the top of her lungs as Slayer swung at the energy, trying to cut free and managed to absorb a wave of wind.
"Wind Capture!" He cried as he swung at the man in black, sending a white crescent wave at him and binding him to the spot as the energy lifted Alyssa into the ceiling and throwing Slayer out of the building all together.
"JONA-" She tried to call out before her world went momentarily black. Slayer flew into the lawn of the Hamilton Manor. He quickly got to his feet and reached his arm to the Manor.
"ALYSSAAAAA!" He cried out. He then Fell to his knees, looking at the unconscious school girl float into the air and the manor explode, dust flying everywhere and a tower rising to the Heavens. Slayer slowly shook his head as his eyes looked up and a clock's face slowly implanted itself into the circular hole in the tower. "Noo..." He moaned. The entrance was as it was before it the tower fell, as mighty as the castle itself. At the doors was a smaller figure, walking to him with a weapon in hand followed by an army of dead men and women armed with pitchforks, axes, and clubs. The smaller figure was soon to be found as Dennis. Slayer got off of his knees and walked to him a couple of steps. "Dennis!" He breathed as the boy walked to the Black Knight with a slim sword in hand. The boy lashed at Slayer and cut a line into the dark armor. Slayer placed a hand to the hole in the armor and pulled the hand back, revealing blood as it slowly poured out of the hole and light burned within him. Dennis held the sword in front of him as though he were fencing.
"Alyssa is under the influence of the one that lead all of you to your deaths that fateful day!" Dennis cried at the top of his lungs. The army seemed to roar out n agreement and anger as they penetrated Slayer with their cold, rotting eyes. Slayer suddenly felt as though he were going to fight the very thing he was meant to protect... His people...
"My fellow warriors!" Slayer called as he put the HellRaiser away and held up his hands as though he had a gun pointed to his back. "We fought and died bravely! Yes, even I am dead! I have turned on my masters and am fighting for the very cause to free you from you earthly prisons!" He cried out. Dennis took another swing at slayer, but was blocked, making him stumble backward.
"You may speak the truth, but the only way to free your people is..." the boy that seemed to know more beyond his years said as he looked at the army that would fight beside him till the next afterlife, "To destroy the one that lead these people to their deaths!" He said as he pointed the sword at Slayer. "FOR ALYSSA AND THE FREEDOM OF THE SPIRITS!" He cried as he charged Slayer with his army of the dead. Slayer knocked Dennis away and pulled the HellRaiser out, letting his red cloak flow freely and stood his ground as the army of Hell itself ran at him. He felt Dark energy flow off of his very being.
"If I am to free you, I will destroy all of you!" He said softly as he broke into a run, raising the blade over his head and lunging downward. "FORGIVE ME!"
Alyssa found herself on top of a massive tower that reached to touch the Heavens. She felt as though she were under some spell... as though she were asleep, but awake at the same time. She then heard the man in black laugh as he drew close to her in an inhumanly manner. "My dear Alyssa! How I have longed for this day!" He said enthusiastically. She fell to her butt as she tried to move away from him, but he quickly made his way to her as she got up. "Soon, on your fifteenth birthday, we will become one and we will create a new Entity!" He cried. She suddenly remembered the very reason why she started this adventure in the begin with.
"Mum! What have you done with my mum!" She cried, then looked around herself, finding no suite of black armor standing at her side and making her feel protected. "Where is Slayer?" She cried, almost afraid. the man in black looked around and then to the edge of the tower.
"My dearest Alyssa, let's just say that he has his own demons to fight, as for you," he said as he trust his cane out at her and caught her by the throat, dragging her to him and picking her un in a cradle. "To find your mum, you can go to Hell and find her yourself!" He cried as he flung her into the middle of the tower, letting her fall through the middle and she closed her eyes tightly.
More and more dead farmers seemed to replace their fallen comrades as they kept rampaging him and hitting his armor. He had crossed his blade with Dennis's a few times and had gotten himself cut by it. For some reason, the blade would slice right through Slayer's armor, but would bounce off of Dennis as he messed up and "slit himself". He was a real fighter, but lacked skills in using the sword properly. It was clear to Slayer that the blade was forged by Heaven and was sent to Earth, but it was not for Dennis. He got himself up and looked up as he cleared room from the army of the damned to see the man in black pick Alyssa up into his arms and toss her into a deep abyss. He shook his head and slashed another damned soldier in half, not caring about their safety anymore as they were becoming a nuisance to him. He began to charge darkness into his armor and it coursed through into his blade, turning it into a blade of dark fire. "Now it is time to put an end to this!" His voice raising as he broke out into a scream, allowing a symbol of a circle and three smaller triangles to cover him and expand. He then spotted and pointed the HellRaiser at Dennis, letting his helmet fall off of his head, his fleshy face exposed. "If you fight for Heaven then tell them that you were the wrong one!" He called as the fire turned red. "I don't want to kill you, boy, but I will if I must! You are out of line in this army of God!" He cried. This made Dennis flinch and let the sword slip from his hands. He quickly dropped and grabbed the blade, holding it in front of him.
"God is for the weak!" Dennis cried out as he rushed him. Slayer smirked as flesh began to cover his face and darkness covered him completely as Dennis swing and hit the dark mass, the sword sinking into it like quicksand. The boy tugged and yanked at the hilt, but the sword continued to be absorbed into the dark mass. He let the sword go and tumbled to the ground, the army of the damned stopping in their tracks, taking note in this event.
"I may be of the darkness, but I am repenting!" A voice called from the mass. Two bat like wings emerged from the mass and the darkness absorbed into his armor. In the Black Knight's place stood a demonic being that bore rows of fangs as he looked at the boy. It was bare chested with black and red skin. Both hands wore three fingered golden gauntlets with beautiful jewels in them. His eyes were as red as ever and more vaporous. "But old habits do die hard..."
Alyssa found herself in a deep cave, on a sand covered island with a pool of water around it. She stood up and a armored being stood in front of her with his arms crossed. "So... This is what my brother is trying to protect..." He said to himself. Alyssa looked into his yellow eyes and screamed.
