Chapter 13
Many teens stand side by side, their face serious as they listen to the man known as Johnson shouting his plans. Everyone soon rushed and began to head to the located area of the violent demon spawning, everyone were broken into squads each with their own assigned squad leader, excitement ran through their veins while Aceton and Hiroyuki can only feel dread. The two were lucky to be together in a group with Isaac and Opal but it did not soothe the dark feeling that they felt not even when their units were standing side by side with them.
"Drevas...I am unease." Aceton whispered quietly to his earth unit. "My heart is pounding and my stomach twist, I wish I could be in bed." Drevas glance at his summoner before he bumped into his side gently. "You have fear already? Never have I believe you to doubt today." Aceton pouted as he bumped gently back into Drevas. "Oh hush, I have the right to doubt and be scared." Drevas shook his head before he look ahead, his crystal blue eyes scanning the surrounding area before he turned back to look at his summoner. "Have you found him?" Aceton pursed his lips for a moment before he frown and shook his head.
"You two! Shut up and keep moving!" Aceton glared at the squad leader before the squad leader turn back to his unit. Until a loud piercing scream echoed, birds flying out of the trees as Aceton and his squad froze in place, their eyes widen as they stare where they heard the scream. "Hiro…" Isaac peeped out as his grab on his staff tighten, he moved close to Yujeh who tightly held her golden goblet and glared at the forest.
"Over there!" Someone yelled and pointed towards a pack of demons, spikes coming out of their backs, hollow empty sockets, long sharp claws and razor sharp teeth while more were coming out of the trees. "Don't stand there! Fight!" The squad leader shouted as he and his unit ran at the demons but before he could even lay a hand on them, his head disappeared into the demon's mouth before his headless body crash to the floor with a thud. His blood stained the grass floor while his unit disappeared, the demons surround the body and began to feed on his corpse, the young cadets stared horrified before they let out a piercing scream and began running. Aceton turned to Isaac, Hiroyuki and Opal who turned to him, he opened his mouth and yelled loudly as he could over the screaming teens and the sound of the demons ripping into the flesh of their comrades. "Run!" The four summoner instantly began to run with their units following close behind.
Opal turned her head and saw few demons after them, she turned to Belfura who nodded towards her, the water unit threw her summoner over her shoulder as Opal shakily raised her dual pistols. She pointed at the demons as she began to fire out bullets after bullets at the demons but it only was able to slow them down. "The house! The house!" Isaac pointed out as a strange lone house sat in the middle of the woods, Hiroyuki turned his head to Rugrow who kept up with them well. "Rugrow! You need to return!" The dark unit stare down at his summoner, concern in his eyes. "But-" "Do it!" Rugrow quickly disappeared at the call of his summoner. Yujeh slam the door open to the house as she ushered everyone in, Drevas quickly turned and pierce down the demons that were near the doorway of the house before he ran inside as while shutting the door behind him.
Aceton quickly stood beside Drevas as he watch his friends heavily breathing before his sky blues eyes took notice of the other surviving cadets hiding out in the building. "How did this house… Even exist… Inside this forest…" Hiroyuki could be heard mumbling as he scan the dusty home. "We're gonna die, we're gonna die!" Aceton turned his head to watch the other cadets crying in fright as they sat on the floor. "Drevas…" The earth unit grasped Aceton's arm tight and stare at him. "Stay calm, you need to be calm or you will die." The giant nodded his head as he slowly breathe in and exhale the air out.
"Yujeh I'm scared…" Isaac whimpered as he held Yujeh tight, the light unit return the embrace as she ran her fingers through the golden locks of her beloved summoner. "Shh, it's going to be fine Isaac… It's going to be fine." Opal leaned on Belfura as she stare at the wall blankly, the water unit leaned her head on her summoner. "Opal, you're going to live, I'll be damn if those demons try to take your dream away." The area was thick with tension, fear and sadness. It was slowly suffocating Aceton as he glance at Hiroyuki to see the purple haired teen was leaning on the wall, his hand covering the ice blue eyes, then he glance outside to see the demons approaching the house.
"I can't take this anymore!" Someone screamed out before a boy stood up and ran out of the house his unit following him, the door was left wide open while his scream echoed and the sound of his unit crying out for him, then the sound of flesh ripping could be heard. Everyone soon went into a state of panic as they all began running out of the house hoping to escape, Aceton quickly pushed Drevas to another room before he gather Hiroyuki, Opal and Isaac and quickly ushered them into the room with Yujeh and Belfura close behind him. He close the door quickly while the screeching wail of their comrades die one by one leaving the four of the surviving summoners left in the closed room.
"We're going to die!" Isaac wailed out and soon Opal start crying, the two were crying on to their units as Hiroyuki clenched his fist before he soon began crying. Aceton looked over to Drevas who held his pike up ready to fight while the doubt in his heart began to slowly suffocate him, he listen to the demons that had reach to the door before clawing and banging at it, as if the demons were taunting them, playing with their fears.
"Erevos…" Aceton whispered out as he found himself on the floor with Drevas rushing over to him. "Where are you?" He cried out softly. "Erevos… I need you…. Save me… Save us… Help… Erevos…" Tears ran down his face as he saw the claws of the demon penetrate through the door, Belfura, Yujeh and Drevas quickly got up and stood in front of the door. Their eyes narrowed as they raise their weapon.
"Erevos…"
"Help…"
"Why did you leave me alone…"
"Why… Did you abandon me?"
"Erevos… I miss you… I miss you."
Black flames began to form in Aceton's hand but the white flames flicker brightly, trying to diminish the black flames growth. "Erevos…" The last call as the demons breached through the door, black flames flickered before it burst and consumed Aceton's entire being. The units and the others screamed for him.
'Wow, you just don't know when to shut up. Do you?' Aceton eyes flutter open, he tried to move his arms but they were restrained by chains that tied him to a dark throne. "E… Erevos?" The voice scoffed as Aceton finally could see, his eyes staring back at the familiar appearance of Erevos but this Erevos in front of him was darker… Unstable. 'Erevos this and Erevos that, how about you shut up about him?' The lookalike snapped before he grin. 'Beside, Erevos can't hear you right now! Oh no, no, no! He certainly can't, not when those beautiful white flames eat him slowly.' The lookalike moved away as he showed the bright white flames and Erevos in the middle, his eyes were closed as the white flames burn his grey flesh.
"Who are you and why are you doing this!" Aceton demanded as the insane lookalike just giggle before he moved around the dark throne. 'How rude! Thinking I cause this! Weren't you taught not to assume things without getting the other story?' The lookalike cooed as he finally set himself beside Aceton as he admire the white flames. 'As of your question of who I am… I am you, I am him, I am the insanity you both made.' His appearance change as it took form of Chase, expect the body was not wounded or destroyed. 'Hehe… No matter how hard you try to hide it… There's nothing you can do.' His smile widen as his eyes glinted. "You… You bitch!"
The insanity laughed loudly as he clutched his stomach, his voice boomed in volume before they slowly came to a stop. 'Haha… Your funny boy… Very funny, but I'm not here for jokes, you called for Erevos didn't you? The longer you stay here… The faster that your friends will die. It be quite a shame… If they all die! Just like your friend Chase! They will all die and you… You couldn't protect them! Just like how you couldn't protect Chase!' "Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up! You don't know me! You'll never know what I can do!"
The insanity frown, the craze look was replaced with anger. The lookalike Chase changed into the lookalike of Aceton, he swiftly stand in front of Aceton himself and grasped his head tightly. 'YOU AND I ARE THE SAME, YOU MAY TRY TO DENY WHO YOU ARE BUT DEEP DOWN, YOU FUCKING KNOW I AM YOU, THAT I AM EREVOS. I AM FUCKING YOUR INSANITY, I KNOW YOUR WEAKNESS, I KNOW YOUR HORROR. I KNOW EVERYTHING-' 'You… Know… Nothing.' The insanity turned and glared at the white flames before a wicked smile spread across his face. 'So you still live, you're stubborn fool.' The insanity let go of Aceton and instantly approached the white flames. 'It would've been better if you were dead…'
'You… Know… Nothing… Nothing, you say… You speak… That you know all but… You don't… Yes… Yes you are our insanity but… You are not our hope… You are not our memory… You are a shadow… A shadow that only holds the negative emotions. Never the good. You don't know the feeling of happiness… Don't say you know him… Don't say you know me… Don't say you know us… When you never felt the positive.' The white flames sway wildly as if trying to contain Erevos from escaping. 'Yes… We may cry, we may scream, kill, hate but we… We can smile, we can feel the joy… We love… We hope… These feelings, are nothing you know of and you… You will never know this feeling! EVER!' The white flames burst into black flames before a giant dragon that bigger than a mountain raise from the black flames. Black sclera and red slitted pupils stare down at Insanity, the black dragon glare down while Insanity laughed at the sight of Erevos transformation. 'HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE I SEEN THE FORM THAT YOU COULD NOT CONTROL?! THE FORM THAT I CAN CONTROL UNLIKE YOU!'
"EREVOS!"
'Hehehehe… He calls… Hmm… For giving me such a beautiful gift… I will let you both go… By the time you come back, everyone will be dead.' Insanity disappeared leaving Erevos and Aceton, the teen began to weep as the thought of his friends dead until he heard a huff, teary sky blue eyes stare at Erevos. "Erevos… They're going to die…" Erevos closed his demonic eyes before the black flames began to dance around them as it consume the two of them. 'No… Not with you… Alive.'
Drevas, Belfura and Yujeh lay on the floor weakly, the demons approach their summoners, Opal and Isaac tightly held the limp body of Aceton as Hiroyuki stood in front of them, his naginata raised to defend and strike the incoming demons that dare to raise their claws. "Yujeh…" Isaac whimpered as he watch his unit struggle to get up. "I-Isaac." She called out weakly. "If we weren't restricted in this house… Rugrow… Rugrow could help us." Hiroyuki muttered angrily as he glare furiously at the demons. The demons lunged for the summoners, their razor sharp teeth bared to rip them apart until black flames from the ground burst out, burning the demons that try to reach over. Everyone's eyes widen in shock until the sound of movement made them turn to see Aceton standing but a pair of black wings of dragon were spread between his shoulder blade, two large pair of horns shine dangerously under the light of the room. His skin was faint grey while black tattoos ran across his entire body. His eyes no longer blue but entirely black except for the red slitted pupil, black scale dragon tail swished behind him and his nails sharper and painted black.
"Ace?" Opal called out nervously as the said man stare back at them. He didn't respond before he walked towards the door, the black flames sparked and licked his hands, he stopped at the archway before he turn to stare at everyone. "Come… Stand… Run." Drevas instantly stood up and quickly made his way to his summoner, his crystal blue eyes filled with relief to see his summoner alive. "Aceton…" The demonic male look down as he let out a crooked smile, his teeth were sharp like knives which send chills down on Opal and Isaac's back at the sight.
Hiroyuki quickly moved to Aceton. "Opal, Isaac get your units. We need to leave now." Isaac and Opal instantly followed his order and pick their units before dashing to the others. "Stay… Close…" Aceton mumbled out before he began to walk out of the door and out to the forest cover in body parts and blood of the dead, demons lurked around the area as they feast on the corpses. "A-Aceton!" Opal squeaked out as she held Belfura tightly when she saw the demons looking at them. "They… Won't… Touch any of you…" The demons screeched loudly as they charged before the black greatsword slice one of them in half. Drevas quickly pierce one of the demon's head that was going at the side, his crystal blue eyes narrowed and cold. Hiroyuki deflected the sharp claws of the demon from reaching him, he open his mouth and shouted. "Rugrow!"
The air around them shifted before Rugrow appeared, he slash down the demons as the might black dragon let out a mighty roar before he breathe the purple gaslike flames on the demons around them, Aceton so began to move as the others followed behind him. Hiroyuki guarding the left side, Drevas taking the right and Rugrow watching from the rear, they were able to cut through the demons that try to halt their escape while a couple of bullets that were shot at the demons that try overwhelm.
"Hiro… Issssaac… My darlingssss… I've been ssssearching for you." Isaac's eyes widen in fear, his grip on Yujeh tighten as he felt the tears prickling his eyes and Hiroyuki's eyes were full of anger and hate as he turned his head straight to stare at a naga that was standing tall. Teal hair matted with blood and her once beautiful eyes filled with nothing but black, scales could clearly been seen from her skin and long forked tongue stuck out. "Hiro… Hiro… It's the monster!" Isaac cried out as Yujeh stood up fully as she flinch from the wounds on her body but she stood up properly to shield saac. "Monsssster? Oh but my child, I am no monssster! It'sss me, Ssssonia-"
"Silence yourself wench! Sonia has been dead the moment you took over! You are nothing but a ugly monster that stole the skin of our beloved mother figure and you shall face my naginata for killing everyone we loved!" Hiroyuki snapped while the naga giggle darkly, her tail swishing behind her as her sharp clawed nails was lifted before pointing at Aceton. "What about him? Issss he not a monsssster assss well?" Aceton growled darkly as he took a step forward but Hiroyuki gripped his shoulder and pulled him back before taking a step forward. "I want to kill her, I've been waiting too long to drive my naginata into her gut." Aceton was silent before he nodded as he stood still but he made sure his tall structure blocked the naga's view on the others.
"Hiroyuki… Let-"
"Rugrow, this is my fight. I want to get the satisfaction of tearing her to bits." Hiroyuki spoke as he twirled the naginata in his hand before instantly charging the naga. "Your life is mine!"
The bright steel blade of the naginata skim the naga, the black steel beam that hold the blade spinned in his hand, hoping to smack the naga but the snakelike women ducked and went to slash Hiroyuki across the chest but the purple haired male shifted the naginata as the steel beam was grabbed. "Why do you resssissst! Don't you want to sssee your family again?!" Hiroyuki grunted as he kick the abdomen of the naga hoping for the snakelike women to let go but she kept a strong grip. "I have new people to care about and I'm not going back to the past!" Hiroyuki instantly let his naginata go before he swiftly punched her jaw, he hissed quietly under his breath at the stinging pain of the scales that clashed off his knuckles but it was worth it as the naga moved back letting his naginata go while rubbing her jaw.
"I waited so long to kill you! I waited so long to avenge the death of the people you murder! The family that died because of you!" Hiroyuki quickly snatched his naginata off the floor, the red string that was tied at the end of the naginata and to a single bell began to ring. A large circle appeared below Hiroyuki, purple lining that shaped into star as the electricity sparked around him. His pupil dilated as he leaned forward, the blade pointed below before he disappeared in a instance and was raised above the sky as the blade pointed down on the naga. "Barrage of Valor!" He began striking the floor like lightning itself, the dust from the ground grew covering the entire field. The ground quake before it slow to the stop, Hiroyuki quickly moved himself as he smirked in victory. "Ha… Let your guard down-" His eyes widen when he saw a shape, his fist tighten when the dust cleared to revealed the naga covered in skin. It began to crack as the piece of skin fell one by one revealing the naga to be completely unharmed.
"What a weak attack! You are ssstill inexperienced in fighting!" She chuckled as Hiroyuki sighed in frustration before he glare at the naga. "Like your any better." He mutter furiously as he went running head in, frustration building up from staring at the killer. "Just fucking die!" He yelled out as they began to clash once more.
Demons began approaching once more, they ignore Hiroyuki as they notice the naga fighting him, they began to targeted the others who fought back from them. Belfura and Yujeh quickly took Hiroyuki's spot as they work side by side while they fought of the demons that grow in size, Opal was helping Drevas by shooting down incoming demons so he wouldn't be overwhelm, Rugrow breathed his poisonous flames that was shot out striking down the enemies and lastly Aceton kept burning and cutting down the demons. His growl growing louder by the second when his black blade met the flesh of the demons and the scent of burning flesh from his black flames.
Isaac was in in the middle, trembling. Tears prickle his eyes as he tightly held his staff, he sniffled while he try wipe away the tears, his emerald eyes looked up to watch the people fighting, trying to protect each other and there was him. Weak, helpless… Pathetic, he couldn't fight, he wasn't strong or powerful. All he could do was heal people and that all he could before he becomes useless. His eyes shifted towards his brother figure, his guardian, his saviour… His hero, fighting the monster that destroyed his life, his happiness and scarred him with painful memories.
"Hiro…" He whimpers but no one heard him, his hands clenched tightly on to the staff as he watch the naga has pushed Hiroyuki to the ground. His mind went blank, his breathing became heavy and the memories of everyone he loved, slaughtered and the memory of Hiroyuki, dead. Aceton cut down a opening pathway and without notice Isaac began to run, he ignores the cries of his friends, his mind clouded, his eyes focus on the Naga as she began opening her jaw as she lunges at Hiroyuki. Everything blurred for him, numbness took over, bright emerald eyes, staring back at ice cold eyes that stared back. He smiled.
"ISAAC!"
Blood splattered to ground, a staff fell to the floor as the connected red string that was tied to a golden bell ringed softly before it went silent.
No comment because I might spoil so…. Me gonna be like shhhhhhhhh silent, like the wind… Actually… Wind make noise too…. I'll be silent… Like the rock.
