Occult Origin Part 2

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the author created characters and concepts.

Whether on instinct to run towards danger or by some inner want to save the young woman from the clutches of Balrung, Joseph ran after the large bearlike creature that was carrying Saya Levita off into the woods.

It was not long after that the creature, Saya and Joseph emerged from the thick wooded area into a clearing. Balrung released Saya who just stood there staring blankly at the beast with her piercing blue eyes.

"What does a Canimalia such as yourself want with me?" She asked it determining this monster was part of a race known as the Canimalia.

"I am Balrung of the Abyssal Cult. Lord Skuros has ordered me to bring you to him, so he may control the four kings, or your father at the least, by holding you hostage." Balrung informed her.

Saya let out a breath of air. "If that is how it is going to be." She told him before her eyes lit up with shimmering blue light before she was encompassed by a swirling typhoon of bright blue water. When it died down, Saya was still as she originally appeared, except now her clothes were completely different and in her hand was a sword.

Her clothes consisted of a high collared white formal blouse and a black ribbon bow around her neck, similar to her usual outfit. Over this was a sleek black shoulder cape. She also wore a thick dark blue skirt which was high up her waist with navy lace trimming around the bottom. To finish the attire was a pair of simple black flats.

The sword she wielded was a cutlass with a subtly curved blade, tied to the pummel was a blue ribbon. Even now her eyes still glowed with the shimmering blue light they had when she began her transformation.

"A trespasser." Balrung said, noticing Joe, advancing on the young man and grabbing hold of him before sticking his claws through Joseph, this caused the young man in red to cough up blood. Yet the strangest part about it was the lack of pain he felt.

Saya growled, clutching the hilt of her blade tighter before staring at the beast with harmful intent. "You have taken a dark path here today, Canimalia. For that, I have failed your victim, and may his spirit find peace on its journey home." She said in a form of prayer. "Yet if his vessel must be destroyed to defeat you then so be it. I am Sayakriel Leviathan, heiress apparent of house Leviathan and high demon of the underworld!" She announced, raising her voice. "You have committed crimes against the mortal realm this day and threatened the peace between our realms, for that your crimes must be punished and I sentence you to death!" She declared before four large pitch black demon wings emerged from her back and she flew into the air.

Her cutlass began to glow with a blue aura as she descended at an increasing pace. "Leviafang kick!" She called out, announcing the name of her blade along with describing the action she was about to do. Saya lifted her leg out but no kicking motion was made as her blade cut straight down the middle of both Balrung and Joe.

"That's not a kick!" Both the Canimalia and Joseph called out as they were split in two and the Cultist exploded, leaving Joe in two pieces on the floor.

Saya's form quickly returned to her original attire and her wings hid quickly in her back as her eyes returned to normal. She ran over to the two halves of Joe and hung her head in sorrow.

"I-I was too late again…" She let out, her voice full of despair as she dropped to her knees.

"You know cutting me in half with that supposed 'kick' would've been the thing to kill me right?" The right side of Joe said, much to the surprise of the young demon.

"Y-You're still alive? H-How?" She asked, becoming shy again at the sudden shock of him still living even after being cut in two straight down the middle.

"Well it was only last week that I found out, but I can't die. According to my dad, I'm what you'd call an immortal. Apparently his doing, so if you don't mind, can you put me back together now?" Joe asked, completely calm about the situation.

After Saya did so, Joe gave her a smile. "So high demon huh? Nice to meet you. You're the first being I've talked with that isn't human." He told her before feeling light headed and stumbling.

"Hey are you oka-" She was about to finish asking before Joe fell forward into Saya, sending both of them to the ground. The young woman's face went bright red at what the small fall had led to. Joe had collapsed onto her but in the process the two's lips were touching. She pulled him off her face which was still bright red. "Oh no… This is bad, very bad…" She said, worrying as Joe came around.

"Did something happen?" He asked, unaware of what the last few seconds had entailed.

"Y-y-you k-k-k-kissed me…" She told him, beginning to freak out.

"And why are you freaking out?" Joe asked, clueless at what she was about to reveal about her culture to him now.

"For demons, the first kiss is a sacred thing. When it happens, with any being, human, demon or other… It means that you're married to the person you kissed!" She explained, freaking over the whole thing.

"Who in hell thought up of that? Some guy with nothing better to do?" Joe asked, now freaking out over the situation.

"Actually it was Lucifer… He rules hell and he's the high king of the underworld. his word is law." She explained to him, still freaking out over the situation.

"Right let's get this straight. Today I got impaled by a giant bear's claws, I've been cut in two by a high demon and then gotten married to the very same demon who cut me in two just because of an accidental mishap and the rules of a demon who likes to mess with people. Could this day get any weirder?" He asked hoping that it wouldn't but feeling like he had caused it to.

Surprisingly nothing did happen. Then Saya spoke up, trying to control her breathing to avoid panic. "O-Okay, let's just get back to school and sort this out later."

"Agreed, just try to act like nothing happened okay." Joe told her as they left the area.

When the clearing was deserted, a figure in a black bodysuit and wearing a black face-mask emerged from the trees. Quite like S-4, however this agent seemed to be female. "S-12, this is S-7. The Cultist was defeated by a high demon of the Leviathan house. It is also worth noting that the immortal was here. Why do we not pursue him further?" The agent known as S-7 asked.

The familiar voice of the female lead agent S-12 responded after a few moments. "We have orders to observe after what happened before, but now I think things may change. Thank you for the update, all Seraphim agents will be notified of this new info. S-12 out."

[Occult Circle]

Within the first cell block of the Black Fortress, Skuros roamed looking for new warriors to send after Sayakriel. He came across an octopus like creature sitting in his lonely cell. "You there, Calamarus, your name?" He asked to the creature identified as a Calamarus.

"I am Krakatan." He put simply, rising from his seat. "Now let me out!" He yelled.

"I have heard of you and your exploits. Your reputation appears to precede you. I believe that you will do nicely." The Dark Angel responded, lowering the ward that kept Krakatan in his cell.

[Occult Circle]

The rest of the school day was relatively calm. Joe was beginning to bond with Ray and they were becoming friends quickly while it seemed like Saya was watching him from a distance, however this wasn't confirmed. Joe was now home where he was relaxing in a chair, his father in the kitchen. Things were quiet, until the doorbell rang that was.

Joseph got up and headed to the door, opening it. His jaw dropping at the sight. There at the door was Saya, in her hands and on the steps were multiple suitcases presumably filled with clothes and other essentials.

"W-What are you doing here!? You said you'd sort everything!" He exclaimed, shocked that she had turned up on his doorstep looking like she was ready to move in.

She bowed her head at Joe in a formal manner. "I don't have much to offer in house skills, but please take care of me as your new wife."

"Seriously?!" Joe asked in a mix of shock and disbelief.

Gabriel came over and saw the sight and became curious. "Did something happen today?" He asked, noticing the student on his doorstep.

"M-Mr. Cadia. Sir, I-" She tried to explain but was cut off by Joe due to her stammering.

"Sit down dad. This' gonna be hard to explain." He said, heading over to the couch.

After explaining the situation to Gabriel, Joe took a breath, while the older man thought it over. "So since you accidentally kissed her, you two technically got married according to demonic law. Quite the predicament, but you also said she's Leviathan. They honor tradition well you know. For her sake you're gonna have to deal with being married to her. And about her moving in, since you aren't exactly adults yet, there's another spare room I can sort out. But first let me get something.

Gabriel dashed up the stairs as Joe looked at Saya. "I guess we'll get you unpacked then, Saya." Joe reluctantly said before Gabriel dashed back down the stairs, in his hands were two of the rings he had before. "Here something for both of you. Just put them on. A magical artifact of sorts, it gives off a ward for protection in case of another encounter with that Cult, among doing other things. Just slip it on, you can conceal it by waving your hand over it bottom to top, or activate it by doing the reverse." He explained handing the two the artifacts, with other intentions than just keeping the two safe.

Saya slipped hers on her ring finger, having other thoughts about the ring now in her possession while Joe placed his on his index and then concealed it.

[Occult Circle]

The next day at Morning homeroom, Ray was eagerly awaiting his new friend but was surprised to see him walking in with Saya following close behind.

"Leave it to the new guy to befriend the mysterious loner, how'd you pull that off?" He asked, greeting Joe with a wave.

"It's more complicated than that, but I have a feeling that there's something else you want to talk about." He responded, deducting so by Ray's expression.

"Yeah, I got the room cleared and all set up for the club we're starting, if you're still up for it that is." Ray informed him, to which Joe gave a firm nod. "Good because Mr. Cadia also agreed to supervise." He finished.

"Leave it to dad to play some kind of cruel joke on me." Joseph mumbled.

"Did you say something?" His friend asked to which Joe shrugged. "Anyway we've got to get a third member to start up, then another two if we wanna keep running as a club, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Got any ideas on a third member though?" Ray asked, unsure as to who to ask.

"I think Mr. Cadia has it covered." Joe told Ray as he glanced at Saya for a second.

At lunchtime, they headed over to their club room where, unsurprisingly, Joe was proven right. Gabriel and Saya were both present. The former eating a donut while looking over early term work and the latter reading a book on angles and their fallen angel brethren.

"So Saya is our third member? She has to be a supernatural being right?" Ray asked, half joking.

"I honestly can't say. But enough about that, let's just start off and see what happens." The last three words Joe said were poorly chosen as from the floor materialized the aura sigil of the Abyssal Cult and from it came Krakatan.

"A Calamarus!" Saya identified, rising from her seat in surprise. Before anything else could happen, an aura sigil in blue appeared under Saya's feet with the Leviathan as the symbol and a red aura sigil appeared under Joe's feet, this had an infinity loop as it's symbol within the arcane circle. After a few moments, Saya, Joe and Krakatan vanished along with the sigils.

Ray stood there shocked. "You saw that too right?" He asked Gabriel, who nodded, still biting into the donut. "Looks like I'm not crazy after all." Ray smirked, thinking over what just happened.

[Occult Circle]

The three of them now stood atop a tall office building in the heart of Numin City. Saya was now in her supernatural outfit while Joe had also donned a new outfit upon teleportation.

The outfit looked rather regal in appearance. It consisted of a red button up shirt with the top three buttons undone, a black tailcoat blazer, black dress pants and a red silk neckerchief covering the area that wasn't covered by the shirt, a pair of black pointed shoes were on his feet and the infinity loop was embroidered in gold thread into the front breast pocket of the blazer.

Krakatan looked at the two who had transformed and laughed. "The two of you aren't human then? While I was prepared to face her, you'll be an interesting challenge, so come at me!" He challenged.

Saya summoned Leviafang and charged in, slashing at Krakatan, yet due to the lack of a skeleton in the creature, the attack was easily dodged and the Cultist retaliated by firing inky smoke from its mouth, blinding Saya before it wrapped its tentacles around her neck and began strangling her.

Joe charged in and began punching Krakatan with his fists, yet each punch on the Cultist was like hitting an inflatable object, then the being wrapped it's free limbs around Joe's neck and began strangling him too.

As the two began to suffocate, the rings on their fingers illuminated with an immense amount of blue and red light, blinding the Cultist and forcing him to drop the two of them.

When it dissipated, the two of them were stood stronger than ever clad in a very familiar form of attire. The both of them had transformed into Power Rangers.

Joe wore a suit that had a solid red torso and pants with black sleeves. His boots were black with a silver banding, his gloves were also a solid black with silver banding around the wrists. A silver Ankh outlined in black was printed on the chest of the ranger suit. The helmet was designed in the style of a phoenix with a silver trim around the visor. The belt was also silver with an infinity loop as the buckle. Attached to the belt was a rapier with the red gemstone embedded into the hilt of the weapon, this was known as the Infinity Saber.

Saya wore a similar outfit. It was composed of a solid blue torso with black arms and legs, a blue skirt attached to the main body of the suit. She wore a pair of dark blue boots with gold bands around the ankles and the same style for her gloves, blue for the primary while gold for the secondary trimming. A pair of golden demonic wings that were outlined in black was imprinted into the suit's chest. Her helmet was themed after the mythical beast tied to her family's name, the Leviathan, serpent-like in appearance however looking slightly draconic too. She wore a golden belt that also had a buckle that was shaped like devil wings. Her cutlass known as Leviafang was attached to her suit but now contained the gemstone from her ring in the hilt of her cutlass.

"Are these? Power Ranger suits? Are we rangers?" Saya asked, looking up and down at her new form.

"What's a Power Ranger?" Joe asked, unfamiliar with the concept.

"They're people with abilities that can fight against evils to this world and others, protectors of the people. I guess this Cult is the latest threat." She informed him, drawing her cutlass. "Just pull out your weapon there and fight this thing with me." Saya ordered, spreading her four demonic wings that came out of her back and performing a winged leap at Krakatan.

The Calamarus dodged it with its superior speed, but wasn't ready for Joe to attack right after with his lightning quick rapier, slashing the Cultist multiple times before the two landed facing away and turned heel to look at Krakatan again.

"I believe it's time to end this." Saya said as the gemstone in her cutlass began to resonate with blue light before her sword ignited with blue fire.

"Then let's finish this thing off!" Joe agreed, his gemstone resonating with an immense amount of red light and red energy encompassing his blade. Joseph lept forward and cut horizontally into Krakatan, calling out "Infinite Slash!" and leaving scorch marks behind.

As Joe finished his attack, Saya flew into the air using her four demonic wings and then swooped down, sticking her leg out and bearing her sword down upon the Cultist. "Leviafang Kick!" She called out, slashing through Krakatan vertically before landing on the ground.

"That's not a kick!" The cultist yelled out as he surged with energy before exploding.

The two of them began cheering over their win, but that wasn't to last long. Despite what might be expected, the monster didn't return as a giant, yet another figure joined the two on the roof of the building. Wearing the same black bodysuit as both S-4 and S-7, yet this one looked to be younger and have a more petite figure and her face was exposed for lack of a mask unlike the other Seraphim agents.

She stood at only 5'3" and had long shining red hair which was kept in what would best be described as, hair kept in long pigtails with bangs over the forehead, otherwise known as twintails. She had a pair of innocent looking and sparkling green eyes and looked rather childlike for her being a teenager of sixteen years. Clipped to her belt was a cylinder with a button/trigger on it, almost like some kind of mechanism was supposed to spring out of either end.

She gave a smirk as she looked at the two new rangers who demorphed before her. "Impressive show you two. I had hoped to deal with that one myself, you supernatural beings do like to war amongst yourselves don't you? Allow me to introduce myself. I am Seraphim Twelve, leader of the Seraphim Tactical Unit, set up to contain beings like you and keep humanity from being harmed by your kind. Now you, the one in red. I've been ordered to retrieve you. You are an asset to Seraphim after all and the boss wants to have a word with you." She told him, surprising Joe since he had been told different as to his past by Gabriel.

Saya stepped in front of Joe and spread her arms out to protect the red ranger. "If you want him, you'll have to deal with me first." She protested.

"My bosses didn't want you getting involved in case you got hurt or killed and they'd have to deal with the demons, but they told me to bring the immortal in by whatever means." She said, unclipping the cylinder from her belt and pressing down on the button.

From either end of the object extended a beam of light with a sharp point on it. The weapon in question seemed to be some kind of Javelin. Saya froze seeing the weapon.

"You know what this is correct, demon? It is a light spear. A similar kind to which the angels used to hunt down and slay any demon who sought to harm humans, this of course was created by humans and therefore is partly technological, but it has the same capacity as a divine light spear has. Now if you don't get out of the way, I will be authorized to remove you by force." She informed the high demon, readying her light spear.

Before anything could happen, a bright white aura sigil larger than an individual one appeared under both of the rangers and within an instant they vanished.

Seraphim Twelve just stood there in surprise. Regardless of how her first encounter with Joe was, her mission was still the same, retrieve the immortal and pacify any other supernatural being in her way, regardless of their importance. She powered down her light spear and clipped it onto her belt again before clenching her fist. "I will not fail… I can't fail." She told herself before looking out to the city below. "Wherever you go immortal I shall find you, there is no escaping Seraphim."

|Occult Circle|

Organisation - Seraphim: The organisation was set up both by Numin City's only church and the Government. They are a shadow organisation that have deemed all supernatural beings a threat save for those it can use and uses as assets in their fight. The Seraphim Task-force Unit (STU) is a group of human agents that were taken in as orphaned children and honed into warriors to become hunters of supernatural beings. Their preferred weapons are synthetically created light spears and it is also worth noting that there are only ever twelve of the Seraphim field agents due to the grueling tasks to become a Seraphim. Their identities are stripped away and named a Seraphim with a designation number from One to Twelve. The current leader of the STU is Seraphim Twelve, although she reports to an unknown higher up who even she fears.

That is chapter two. Saya is indeed the next in line to the Throne of house Leviathan and has become the occult blue ranger, she is what is known as a blue demon, something I will get into further at a later date. Joe is an immortal which explains his healing ability. These two will be the first two rangers in the Occult Circle yet there are more to come. Ray, as I should've mentioned last chapter is just an ordinary human with a fixation on the supernatural and will be an ally to the rangers throughout the series. There were a few comedic moments here which I enjoyed such as the 'kick' and Gabriel being completely accepting of Saya into his home after the whole mishap, which Joe still isn't okay with. Moreover, the new red ranger is suspicious of his 'dad' now after what Seraphim Twelve has revealed to him and will be sure to create drama along the way.

Now then, hopefully people remembered that today's my birthday and this is kinda the reason I released this when I have. I really enjoyed this concept and wanted to get it out as a present to myself that I can enjoy reading as well as reading your reviews of it and submissions. But also as a small present to you readers, I really appreciate all the reviews and support I get for my stories and it means a lot so thank you everyone.


Since we've got that out of the way though, here's what most of you have been waiting for, the OC contest. So here's the form and remember to read the rules and follow the guidelines.

Name: (Self Explanatory, it can be unique seeing as they're not human but don't go too outlandish)

Age: (Depending on what race they are this can range from a standard human lifespan to hundreds or even thousands of years old, just please don't go overboard)

Race: (There are four to choose from, Spirit, Lycanthrope, Vampire and Fallen Angel)

Gender: (The Spirit and Lycanthrope are both males while the Vampire and Fallen Angel are both female)

Colour: (The Spirit is Grey while the Lycanthrope is Amber. The Vampire is Crimson and the Fallen Angel is black)

Appearance: (Make them human in appearance, their more supernatural looks will be done by me as I write)

Normal Clothing: (Just their everyday clothes, like any normal teenager would wear)

Supernatural Clothing: (These will be more based off of how they'll look before morphing but when going off to fight the Cultists as Saya and Joe have demonstrated already)

Personality: (Self Explanatory, give me an in depth description of their psyche, not just personality traits please)

History: (Their past as what they are, possibly including how they became what they are and some of the events that have occurred through their lives. I'd like some depth to them, but you can put in as much detail as you want for this if that's how you'd like it)

Family: (They can have family if you so choose in any kind of situation, broken home, deceased members etc. They can even have no family at all if you so choose, being beings not of the norm)

Weapon: (This is more of a suggestion for the weapon as I have ones in mind anyway but feel free to put one in, just base it on something that suits them)

Supernatural Powers: (Again another suggestion but feel free to be creative here, I've left this blank for them however I have a rough knowledge of what I'm looking for with this)

Other: (Just put any other details etc. in here if you have anything else that's worth putting in about your character)


Now onto the rules.

1. Just one submission per person please. If you want to resubmit your character then remove the original submission so that I don't get cluttered.

2. Be original with it. I can't stress this enough, please don't give me any OC's that have been submitted and made their way into other stories before, this goes for characters that are rehashed versions of the same character.

3. Follow the guidelines, I know it's rather strict sounding but I want characters I can rely on and work well in the story, anything that diverges from stuff such as gender or race or takes the character completely off course as some sort of vampire ninja popstar (that wasn't targeting anyone) or other ridiculous tropes which screw with the character or story too much have very little chance of even being considered.

4. Please don't start any fights in the review section like with Martial Strike, while it might not seem like such a big deal to people who don't know about that or other readers, to us writers it just becomes a nuisance to deal with. I have to put this in here especially since the format to how the rangers will be introduced is very similar to Martial Strike.

5. Finally, although there are all these different rules and guidelines to follow, please make the characters as best you can and remember to have fun with the characters you're creating when doing so.

I think I managed to cover everything then. That is it for the OC form and rules then and please just have fun with what you're doing, that's what we're all here for, to have fun. If that wasn't the case I wouldn't be writing practically non-stop. And remember bonus points for anyone who wishes me a happy birthday. That joke aside, fortunately I'm not that vein, have a good day everyone and may the best OC's win. The results will likely be posted in the next chapter when I am satisfied with the characters I've been given. That's all from me and I look forward to seeing all these OCs and I will speak with you all again later.
