The Messenger chapter 56: Alone? Arson!? Remilia's revenge!

(Decided to fuse the top three together for this one!

I kind of generated it by comparing the lists.

So enjoy! Their mostly shorts.

Also if you don't review I might pretend this story never existed.

^_^ )

(Wes)

I haven't fought seriously much have I?

Maybe if I did most of our problems would be solved.

But then these guys wouldn't be so close or learn for themselves.

However it's still bugging me.

Maiku... I swear he was...

Dante bursts into my room.

"Can't you ever knock?"

"Never had the time to. You know demon hordes?"

OK I can accept that. "But it can't hurt right? Your safe here".

He raises an eyebrow. "We get attacked, a lot. That's your idea of being safe?"

Better then apocalyptic worlds.

It's kind of boring.

It feels like I'm a thing of the past now.

I can't really get any stronger then I am now.

"So why are you here?" I ask him and he starts checking through my stuff...

"I need money". Typical.

"Why gamble if you know you lose all the time!"

He just grumbles. Whatever.

OK I leave my room and look for Maiku.

If he really owns the candelabrum I lost then...

He's not even trying to hide it!

The candelabrum is burning in his hands. Eternity.

With it he won't die.

I'm standing on the top of the stairs and he's at the bottom.

"Give it back please". I ask him politely.

"Sorry, but they is much more I must learn". He looks at me with concern, I think he has his hands on some sort of explosive...

Thought so he's already dead.

"You don't belong here then". I tell him. He stares at me.

"I do belong here. Look around. I don't think were ordinary right?"

He has a point. But... "Are you sure you wish to live forever?"

I ask him. He smiles. "I wish to learn everything. Of course I must live on".

Well that's what he wants but... can I trust him?

"Try to return to before". Maiku speaks and the words cut through me.

"You were the only human left. And even then you weren't fully human, nor demon. I don't think you desire to live forever".

He's right.

"Your the strongest so you believe that since no one can compare to you, you can't get close to people or something like that right?"

I was created to be the ultimate weapon. If I really wanted to I could change the world quite easily.

But I don't desire that.

"Everyone here is very unique and can talk to one another with ease. Your not alone. I'm not alone. It's fun to have people you can call "friends", now I'm off to observe the others".

(Maiku)

I'm quite surprised they haven't realised yet.

Shiki and Kaze. They met me quite a while ago.

In hell, It was interesting to find out burnt wealth becomes yours.

But I must live and learn more before returning.

Cu, how did he reach such conclusions about himself? It seems somewhat odd.

"How did you die? What did it feel like?" Wes asked me.

"I can't really describe it. You must have died to know what dying feels like. As for how I died. I … experimented with some flames. It went a bit... unexpected".

I explain to Wes. He stares. "You really are a pyromaniac. Seriously go see a doctor".

Perhaps I should. I would like to see what doctors think.

"Now don't delay me any longer. I need to conduct more experiments. I also created an explosive that can kill a dragon in one blast".

Now to create the angel killer and check on the others.

(Remilia)

OK I'm going to counter attack Cu! Seriously one day he acts... and then the other...

Anyway I'm going to torture him!

I go to his room and jump on him.

"What are you doing!?" He seems to be ordinary again.

"Well were engaged right? So I'm staying here!" His face... hahaha.

"You're kidding right? Your place is better then mine".

"I can't believe you think so low of me. By the way..."

I take out a small notebook. I flick him on the forehead with my finger.

"Why did you do that?" I smile.

"I just returned to you all of your fears. Now were going bungee jumping!"

His eyes turn to horror and he just shakes his head. "No way! Never!"

He's really scared. "Too late". I tell him and the room changes to a bridge were strapped together and I jump off!

He really screams like a little girl. He just closes his eyes and I can hear him saying things like "I don't want to die".

He's embracing me harder out of his fear. Snap.

The cord broke. Shit.

"I'll never forgive you!" He yells as he's falling.

I let my wings emerge from my back and I dive down and grab him. "Better now?"

He's crying a bit. "Now... unto insects".

His jaw opens wide. The place changes into a room full of creepy crawlies.

He stays very still. He makes sure that none get near him. He wants to scream but he knows that if he does they might go into his mouth.

After a few minutes I make the room go away.

"Now for horror movies". He half laughs and cries.

The room changes to a theatre and he just groans. "Let's just get this over with!"

When we watched slashers he actually didn't seem to mind.

But zombies or infected things... he just seems to die inside.

Were back in the room again. "Hold me... please I think I'm going to have nightmare for weeks..." He trembles. Well... I think I might actually stay here. It'll be fun.
