Sins of Blairwood-13
~Dirty Little Secret~
Felicia sat bored on the couch, watching a Horror movie she knew the ending to already, yawning in boredom as the film was nearing its climax.
"No. Get away. Don't eat me please… AAAGH." The actress screamed, before Felicia had enough and shut the movie off, and went to the stairs.
"Hey Erma, Senshi?" Felicia called out.
Up in Erma's room, the two kids were jumping around on her bed, as they were playing with the action figures of Warrior Unicorn Princess, and had a rerun episode on the screen of the portable television they were using in her room.
"Come on kids, you've been up there since I got here. Let's go do something fun. Let's go wake some demons, or scare the neighbors." Felicia said. "You're both usually more fun than this." She sighed, before there was a loud thump, causing Felicia some concern to go up the stairs. "Kids?" Going to Erma's door, Felicia pressed her ear against it and began listening in on what the two children were doing in there.
"Stop right there Shadow Heart."
"You'll be overthrown, and your kingdom will be mine."
"Not if I can help it. I will stop you Shadow Heart. After all, there can only be one, Warrior Unicorn Princess."
Felicia's eyes widened hearing those words, and she opened the door expecting to find the two children watching Warrior Unicorn Princess, but instead found them watching the sequel to the movie she had just left a few minutes ago, with Erma laying on her stomach, and Senshi sitting on the edge of the bed, but both of them were looking nervous. Finding nothing wrong here, Felicia began closing the door, albeit giving a suspicious look to Senshi and Erma. The moment the door was completely closed, Erma and Senshi looked up to see all the toys on the ceiling thanks to their telekinetic abilities, before it came down on them, with the channel flipping back to their mutual favorite show.
"Taste my blade, Shadow Heart."
Out in the hall, Felicia was getting a little suspicious and decided she'd ask those two her question when she had them come down for diner. Later on, after ordering some takeout, Felicia called for them to come and eat, to which they were shocked they were having something different this time. After some time eating, Felicia decided to break the silence.
"Your folks noticed how I kept ordering pizza, so they wanted me to order something else." Felicia said. "You two liking the Chinese food so far?"
"Yeah, it's great." Senshi smiled as Erma nodded in agreement.
"So kiddos, what were you watching?" Felicia asked.
"Oh… you know, the usual horror movie." Senshi said, as he and Erma began to get nervous.
"From what I saw, it did look like the usual horror marathons you two normally watch all the time. But I could have sworn I heard something different, before coming in." Felicia said. "Before I came into Erma's room, and saw all the creepiness, I could have sworn I heard something a little more, light hearted. Something like a name, it sounded interesting, Shadow Heart, was it?" Now Senshi and Erma were starting to get nervous. "I think I remember hearing that name for something else somewhere, for a toy commercial for Warrior Unicorn Princess. Erma, Senshi… Are you two WUPER's? You can tell me." Felicia smiled.
Erma jumped into the air, freaking out that their secret was discovered, causing Felicia to back up, before the little ghost girl, grabbed Senshi's wrist and booked it up the stairs, while causing all the lights to go out.
Using the light of her phone, to illuminate the darkness, Felicia saw how Erma and Senshi were gone, and began looking for them through the house.
"Erma, Senshi?" Felicia questioned, spotting them going up the stairs. "Kids wait."
Felicia sighed, before she smiled, realizing she should have expected this to be how they'd react to her probing questions, given how they're a ghost child and a demon child.
"Erma, Senshi? Alright kids, I know you're in here." Felicia said, going up to Erma's room and looking for them in there. "Come out wherever you are. Seriously, I've been looking all over the house for you two." She said before she began flipping the channels on Erma's television. "Are you two hiding in here?" She couldn't find them in the television, that's when she went looking in the monster toy chest. "How about in here, you hiding in here?" She questioned, before the demon chest opened its mouth and let out a roar. To its shock, Felicia just kept its mouth open and stuck her head in. "Come on kids, you're killing me here." Felicia said, looking inside the chest, before she went to the closet. "Please tell me you're in the closet. Nope, just a bunch of creepy dolls." Felicia sighed, opening the doors, but found nothing. "Just great." She sighed, going and sitting on Erma's bed. "Nice going Felicia, you try to tease them for a bit and you scare them off, perfect."
As Felicia was trying to think of where they could have gone, Felicia felt something lay its head on her lap, and looked down to see it was Saphira, looking at her like she needed help.
"What's wrong girl?" Felicia asked, petting Saphira on the head.
Saphira gently grabbed Felicia's arm in her jaw and pulled her over to the window. Looking out, Felicia saw Erma and Senshi, running off into the forest, with a lantern and a mountain of Warrior Unicorn Princess toys and merchandise.
"Oh no." Felicia said, having a bad feeling about this as she ran through the house to chase after them.
In the woods, Erma and Senshi were flying through the trees, trying to get to the lake deep within the forest behind their house, to burn their stuff.
"Erma are you sure this is necessary?" Senshi asked.
"She found out our secret Senshi. She's gonna tell others." Erma said.
Getting to the lake, Senshi and Erma stopped there, dropping the toys on the ground. Erma pulled a book of matches from her pocket, and was hesitating on lighting the toys on fire.
"C'mon Erma it's not too late to turn back and apologize to Felicia for over reacting." Senshi said, neither of them noticing the red eyed shadowy figure coming up behind them.
"Oh, but I'm afraid it is too late children."
Senshi and Erma turned around, before they were enveloped in shadow. When Felicia came to the area, all she found was the pile of toys, and a book of matches on the ground.
"Kids? Erma, Senshi?" Felicia called out. "Oh no, where'd they go? Where are they?"
At the same time in the Blairwood women's state penitentiary, Kuroko was writhing in her bed, her head throbbing from the pain of removing that accursed parasite Beo infected her with, and because she knew something was wrong, and she could no longer feel Senshi's energy in the realm of mortal.
"Senshi…" Kuroko groaned, getting up, and going to the barred window of her cell. "Be strong baby. Don't let him manipulate you."
~Some Bonding in Hell~
"Wakey-wakey children." Senshi heard a voice as he began opening his eyes. "It's time to wake up."
Senshi opened his eyes to see he was in a very rocky, and very hot place. Looking around, he saw Beo standing across from him, holding his Spirit Spear. Trying to focus, Senshi couldn't bring the spear to him no matter what.
"It's no use my boy. You're control over the Spirit Spear is no more. So long as I hold it in my grasp, it might as well be nothing but a normal instrument tool." Beo smiled, twirling it in his fingers.
"What are you wanting Beo? I doubt it's just to catch up on some missed father-son bonding time." Senshi said, struggling against the chair he was against.
"Oh, I see your mother told you who I am." Beo said. "Well, that makes no difference to me. Though I'm assuming she also told you about why I conceived you with her."
"I'm not gonna be your tool for the Demon King to take control of my body." Senshi exclaimed.
"Poor child. Poor, naïve, innocent child." Beo said, the cave they were in lighting up showing Erma was chained to a rock across from him. But the rock she was against was dangling above a lava pit, and Erma looked terrified. "You see boy, you don't really have a choice in the matter. Either you cooperate and let me prepare your body for the Demon King's new vessel, or this little girly, goes for a swim in the lava."
"She's a ghost, the lava won't hurt her." Senshi said.
"That's where you're wrong my boy. We are currently, quite literally, in the pits of hell, and the lava and fire here, has a certain effect that negates a ghosts intangibility. Even if we weren't though, the collar around her neck is the exact same type that your bounty hunter of an uncle, put around your mother's neck, to seal away her powers, rendering her as nothing more, than a mere mortal without any powers. So in short, if you don't cooperate, Erma here will be suffering the same fate as Gollum."
"Lord of the Rings, Return of the King…"
"Book three." Beo smiled. "You didn't really think you got your love of books from your mother's side of the family did you? Who do you think left you the Lord of the Rings Saga at your doorstep for Christmas, or the Eragon Saga for your birthday two years ago? Those books were some of my favorites, and I just knew, you'd enjoy them to. To be honest, all the books I've read, have given me interesting ideas on how I should torment my victims. I mean, I am a Demon from hell, who serves the Demon King." Beo said, putting a sharp nail against Erma's cheek, and slowly dragging it across her cheek, leaving a thin cut.
"Don't hurt her." Senshi cried out, his eyes glowing a golden amber momentarily.
~Secret Island~
Merlin was in her lab, floating through the air with her magic, and mixing certain concoctions before her head shot up and she dropped a beaker filled with water purified for three days.
"Merlin. What's wrong?" Ban questioned rushing into her lab.
"I felt something. It felt like, now it couldn't be, he's been dead for centuries." Merlin said.
"Who's energy did you sense Merlin?" Ban questioned.
"The energy, it isn't possible, but it felt like, it felt like…"
"Escanor."
Merlin and Ban turned to the window and saw a blonde young looking man, sitting on the ledge, a stern look on his face, telling them he felt that power to.
"An' I'm pretty sure, I know who it came from." Meliodas said.
~Hell~
"Ah-ah-ah son. Careful now." Beo said, putting one of his claws under Erma's chin. "Do anything rash, and I might accidentally cut her jugular."
"Don't you dare touch her, you monster." Senshi shouted, fighting against his chains, causing them to creek.
"Monster? Now you're just being rude young man, and to your own father no less. Didn't your mother teach you any manners?" Beo smirked. "Oh that's right, she wasn't around to. All she's ever done is hide the truth of her work from you, and murder people for money."
"You, shut up." Senshi shouted, his body growing bigger. "I don't care what you do to me. I don't care if you hurt me, torture me, or even kill me. Just please, DON'T HURT ERMA." Senshi shouted, breaking out of his chains, looking like a musclebound sixteen year old. Senshi got up to his feet, and ran to Beo, slamming his fist into the demon's face, sending him flying back and into one of the stalagmites.
"You shouldn't have done that boy." Beo growled, as Senshi brought the boulder Erma was on, safely to solid ground, and removed the collar from her neck. "Hold on. This shouldn't be possible. It's the middle of the night you shouldn't be able to use Sunshine."
"That's where you're wrong Beo." Senshi said, his voice deeper and sounding filled with pride. "So long as I have those I care about in my heart, they are my sunlight, and they are the source of my power." Senshi held his arm out, behind him, and let out a deep breath. "Hear my command and answer my call. Come to me, Divine Axe Rhitta."
~Secret Island~
"Look captain, I'm telling you it's just not possible for that to happen. No one has been able to use the full might of Sunshine since Escanor was alive. It just can't be true." Ban said, as he was walking with Meliodas to the Cliffside where Escanor's gravestone was.
"I know Ban but I just want to make sure." Meliodas said.
"It doesn't matter if you and Merlin felt that surge of energy. There's no way it could happen. The power of Sunshine is…"
"Fully active." Meliodas said, pointing forward.
Ban looked to the gravestone as Meliodas was pointing at it, and to his shock, he saw that the divine axe, wasn't sitting on the gravestone anymore.
"It looks like I was right." Meliodas said. "Only one of two people we know, could be the culprit of calling forth Rhitta."
"Kuroko, or Senshi." Ban sighed.
~Hell~
Beo charged at Senshi, who simply smacked the man away with one hand, as the ground above and below began to shake, before the golden axe Rhitta made its way into Senshi's hands, surprising both Beo and Erma.
"Now, for the sins you have committed, you shall pay with your flesh." Senshi exclaimed, as the axe blade began to glow.
Throwing his arm forward, Senshi sent the light energy right at Beo, to which it hit its mark. Grabbing Erma and his Spirit Spear, Senshi took this opportunity before the Sunshine wore off, Senshi whistled for Oslo and the Fairy Dog came to them, opening a portal out of hell, and returning to the world of the living.
~Lakeside~
"Oh come on, where are you, where are you?" Felicia was starting to freak out now, as she'd spent quite a while searching for Erma and Senshi, with Saphira's help as the drake brought all the Warrior Unicorn Princess toys back to the house, while Felicia was searching. "Oh man, Sam and Emiko are gonna kill me if I don't find those two."
"ROAR."
Felicia turned to Saphira, who looked extremely bloated, and her belly was suddenly down to her knees like she was expecting a big clutch of eggs, before she waddled up to Felicia and coughed up Erma and Senshi, before also coughing up Rhitta.
"Alright Oslo I get it you don't like being summoned to hell, in fact you hate it. But did you have to make the portal back to the world of the living lead to Saphira's storage stomach?" Senshi shouted, now a little kid again. "Erma and I are covered in her saliva and drool."
"Senshi, Erma. Oh I'm so glad I found you two. What happened, where'd you go?" Felicia questioned, hugging them, not even caring she just covered herself in dragon saliva. "Why do you both smell like sulfur and brimstone?"
"Those would be the fumes of hell you're smelling." Senshi groaned. "An' we got a little visit from my dad."
"Explain it to me after you've bathed." Felicia said pinching her nose. "You reek."
~Home~
"I see. So your father took you both down to hell, and tried to use Erma as a bargaining chip to try and convince you to let him turn your body into a vessel for the Demon King." Felicia said, sitting in the living room with Erma and Senshi, both of them fully dressed, and washed up, with Erma having a band aid on her cheek. "But things went south for him, when you somehow managed to use Sunshine, and summon forth Rhitta?"
"To be honest, I didn't think I was even capable of summoning Rhitta. I had tried in the past, but to no avail. So now I'm just as confused." Senshi said.
"Guess all the motivation you needed to be able to summon Rhitta forth, was to see someone you care deeply about, in some serious trouble." Felicia said. "Listen you two, about earlier. I just wanna say I'm sorry for teasing you. I didn't think you'd react the way you did. I know being a ghost kid, and a demon child, you have this scary image to maintain, but you're still only kids, children even. Heck, there are even adults who are WUPER's, so if you're both into girly stuff, go ahead and enjoy it as much as you want. Just please don't shut yourselves out from everyone because of what just happened. Can you promise me that at least?"
"I think we can manage that." Senshi smiled.
"Tell you what, why don't we watch an episode together? After what you've just gone through tonight, you could use it." Felicia smiled.
Sitting on the couch with the two children, Senshi and Erma sat on either side of Felicia as they put on an episode of Warrior Unicorn Princess, and to be honest, it wasn't anything that Felicia had expected it to be.
"Wow, talk about false advertising." She said, before feeling both children falling asleep against her. "Back to normal." She snickered, putting her arms around them. "Hopefully, no more craziness like tonight."
~Alonzo Sandburg Mental Hospital~
Lightning cracked, and thunder rumbled across the sky as a teenaged woman, was being escorted out of the hospital and to a car, by her parents, sitting in the back seat, before driving off. The young woman was smiling as she sat in the back seat, drawing pictures of a ghost girl who'd driven her to insanity. Her shadow growing a pair of angered red eyes and sharp jagged teeth that were in a frown, as the girl was planning something big.
"That little punk, now I have to remain in the shadow of my anchor to heal what his damned Sunshine did to me. No matter, this but a setback, after all, I've yet to distribute the commandments to my chosen warriors." Beo said, his frown turning into a smirk. "An' the fact he's able to use Rhitta, only proves that he is the one, the prophecy spoke of. Soon boy, the Demon King will rise again, and he will have your body as his own."
