"The military and demons are working together now….." thought Yakushi. "But what could both sides possibly want that would cause both to join sides? Demon power too… damn…"
Yakushi laid back on his bed, thinking about the past events, and how lucky he and his friends are to be able to rest in a safe place. A number of weeks have passed since the time of their capture, and the military have already ruled the streets, martial law was declared, demons were free to roam, and many people have been disappearing. At least, until today, something different happened.
"YAKUSHI!" shouted Noah, knocking at Yakushi's door.
"What is it? Come in!" said Yakushi.
"Better get to the living room and see what's on TV, this is big!"
Yakushi got up and followed Noah to the living room, everyone else was there, watching the news. It showed that multiple black towers have suddenly risen from the ground in various locations.
"The hell is that?" asked Yakushi.
"Good Lord I recognize it!" said Emile.
"Speak up then!" said Cai.
"H-H-Hell's gate….."
"Hell's gate? As in THE HELL'S GATE?" exclaimed Norami.
"The demon army is on its way….. Unless the gates are destroyed, we're all doomed. No one can repel the army from hell…."
"Then what're we waiting for? Let's go out and destroy it!" shouted Noah.
"Yeah… as if we could just go there and just blow it up….. think a bit man… now that the military are siding with the demons, you think the gates would be left unguarded?" added Azaria.
"Uh…"
"No way we're fighting our way through if ever that crosses your mind."
"Damn it… you know me too well…."
While the others were discussing on how to destroy hell's gate, Yakushi made his way to the rooftops and looked out at the city. From there, he spotted four of hell's gates, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Once again, dark clouds started to form up, but instead of heavy rain, there was a lightning storm. Yakushi's demon form started to flash out from time to time, as he could feel the evil in the air. He raised his hand up into the sky and started to mumble.
"My army comes from deep within….. beneath my soul, beneath my skin….. as you're ending and I'm about to begin, my strength, their bane, I will never give in…."
Lightning then struck his hand, but it didn't hurt him, instead, he absorbed it. He held in his hand, a ball of flashing blue lightning, he clenched his fist a bit as the lightning started to turn black.
"So this is the demon's power…" he thought.
Cai then entered the rooftops and saw Yakushi, with the black lightning on his hands.
"How…..You know Haiten arts as well?" gasped Cai.
"What the? Cai?" said Yakushi as he closed his hand and the lightning disappeared.
"No, just a random girl…. OF COURSE IT'S ME!"
"Uh…. What're you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same thing…"
"I… uh…."
"TEACH US!"
"I… wait, what?"
"TEACH US HOW YOU DID DASHIT!"
"Dashit?"
"YES DASHIT! HOW DID YOU DO THAT? I'VE NEVER KNOWN SUCH POWER!"
"Well I …" sighed Yakushi.
Before he could finish, there was a huge earthquake, but after a short while, it stopped.
"Whoah! What the hell?" said Yakushi.
Azaria then suddenly came running up to the roof.
"Guys! You'd better get ready… radar is picking up ….. a lot of shit going on in the town square!" he said.
"What sort of…" said Yakushi.
"Sorry but there's no time to explain, you'd have to see it for yourself when we get there!"
"Let's go then!" added Cai.
The whole group suited up and got a move on to the town square, when they got there, it was not what anyone would expect. Everyone took cover in nearby alleyways and rooftops. From there, they observed what was going on, they saw military soldiers jumping into some giant mouth on the ground, but what's worse is they come out, looking very big and grotesque.
"What the hell is this shit?" whispered Noah.
"Are the soldiers giving themselves to hell?" asked Azaria.
"No…"said Emile. "This is the conversion process… from human flesh and blood to demon power…. Truly an evil act."
"Then how do we stop it?" asked Jenova.
"I'm hoping we shoot our way out, mix things up a little…" said Yakushi.
"No, we'd all get killed instead…. First of all one of us has to kill a so-called priest, so that the mouth will disappear…. Problem is, dealing with it…" added Emile.
"A bullet to the head, simple solution…" said Azaria.
"You wish though…." By now the priest has already been trans…"
Before Emile could finish, a goat looking demon with wings, holding a giant firing axe appeared.
"Get down!" said Azaria.
"Shit… is that the one we're supposed to kill?" said Norami.
"Looks like so….. It's the only unique looking one."
"What's the plan then?" asked Darren.
"I want to volunteer in taking down the priest…" said Azaria.
"Same here!" added Noah, Emile and Darren.
"I think the plan is simple then, three of you target the priest, the rest of us will hold off the …. Whatever those shit faces are…. Also, make sure no one falls in the mouth or get killed…" said Yakushi.
"Roger that!" said the rest.
"Alright, we'll go first….. LET'S ROCK!" shouted Jenova.
Yakushi, Cai, Jenova, Norami and Samantha dived out and started slaying the horde of demons in the area.
"This is going to be fun…" thought Azaria.
"Wait wait!" said Noah. "I don't have a weapon! My axe broke remember?"
"What the? Why didn't you say so earlier?" said Darren, knocking Noah's head.
Yakushi overheard their conversation and gave a sigh, he pulled out his double barrel shotgun which he had for a while but rarely used and threw it to Noah, as well as a few boxes of shotgun shells.
"NOAH!" shouted Yakushi.
Noah caught the shotgun and shells and gazed at it in awe, it was customized to have better stability and it was surprisingly very light. There was also a button near the trigger to split the shotgun in two, enabling dual wielding action.
"Now get to work!" shouted Yakushi.
"LET'S GO THEN!" shouted Emile, pulling out his pistols.
Azaria started raining bullets on the demon priest, but it shielded itself with its axe as it charged towards him. Azaria jumped to the side as it charged past him, he quickly performs a sliding turn and started firing more rounds. He landed a few hits, but most of the bullets just merely bounces off its thick skin. Noah then climbed up the roof and tried to jump on its head, he attempted so and tried to shoot while in mid-air. Sadly Noah didn't know about the massive recoil, as he fired the shotgun in mid-air, the recoil sent him flying away from the demon.
"WHAT THE FUCK!" shouted Noah, flying away to the next building.
