Ch. 3
The Dremeks


It was three day's ago that I was approached by Lucifer, and ever since then Ekimus and I had been searching why he had offered a truce. Joe was generous enough to show Julie the ropes and teach her the rules about drinking. I would have shown her myself but right now I was training even harder for what I knew was going to be a hard battle. "FLAME SHOT" Ekimus Dodged all three shots with ease, I didn't know how something that old could be so quick. "FLAME CIRCLE" Crap gotta jump....barely missed Ekimus's shot, I had done the move once or twice but never saw the need for it, the move makes flame come from under you and engulf a circle around you, of course a regular Vampire couldn't do any of this things we where doing now. I was the next evolution of Vampires, and was told I was the last, but Julie is also a Evolved Vampire. It confused me a lot.
As I was dodging Ekimus's fire and lighting shots I was charging my energies at a different frequency than usual, I didn't even notice I was doing it....then the words came, they always did when energy needed to be released. Another gift of being me was I could cast spells, when the energy was gathered and at the right tone....The words would come from my mouth from who knows where......"THORS STRIKE".....Suddenly I was engulfed in blue energy and my strength and speed had increased, I didn't know how long I was going to have this advantage so I threw myself at Ekimus and shot a ball of energy, that was usually orange, but now it was blue...how odd. It hit him and sent him flying towards the ancient walls of the cathedral, I shot another one at him that it his chest and put him unconscious for the time. I sat and waited for him to awake which wouldn't be long. It took him awhile but he eventually woke up.
"Good Alex, your finally learning new way's the channel your energy....I had never even seen that move before, where did you learn it?" He almost sounded angry that I knew how.
"I didn't learn it....it just came to me, like all the others did, why?" I kept thinking why he was so angry with me...I didn't make sense.
"Because I have been trying to learn a move just like that for 4000 years and I still haven't learned it, how is it that you have learned it in a year....are you trying to say you are more powerful than I am, and if you are suggesting that....you know your right." I couldn't believe he said it, how could I be stronger than him, he's the father of Vampires and I am his youngest son.
"I don't get it Ekimus...How could I be stronger than you?"
"You are the chosen one Alex Elder, you have been given powers that no other Vampire save Julie posses."
"Wait, what about the senator he had the same if not greater powers than I did?"
"Yes...and you killed him last week. The only thing he had that you didn't was the power to withstand sunlight, and that was a gift from Lisseth...the whore gave him her blood to drink."
SLAM.....Ahhh there was Joe and Julie returned from the streets.
"Alex I just ate a hamburger, oh GOD I was in heaven." I had almost forgotten about the enhanced taste Vampires get when they channel their energies to memories of past food. It was like heaven when you ate anything.
"That's good Julie, did Joe teach you anything useful tonight besides how to eat a burger Vampire style?" I asked a little worried about Joe not teaching her.
"Hey Bo-Bo I taught her the basics you need to know to survive, A: Don't go touching other people's teeth...uhhh B: Don't attack cops...unless the call you names and are very alone......"
"Dang it Joe I wanted you to teach her how to feed....gosh how is she going to be able to feed if you don't teach her?" I started to get angry with him.
"Teach her? Why, she already knows how to feed, we where in the park the other day and she just jumps on this couple and grabs the guy who must of weighed like 500 pounds.....then throws the girl to me, and she starts ripping into him like he was butter....I actually think she enjoyed it for some reason?"
"WOW, it took me weeks before I actually started to feed on humans..."
"Ohh yah I found out what Lucifer was up to...well I think." Joes said stupidly.
"Where, when...better yet how?" Ekimus said, almost in disbelief that he had found out instead of him.
"Lets see I went to this demon bar and I went to a informant of mine...who happens to have two heads, but that's not the point.....anywho, well, he told me that Lucifer is gathering a secret army of...of well huge powerful demons made up of the souls of the river Styx."
"Well how powerful can they be right, there dead souls right?"
"Shit, I didn't think he would know how to conjure up the Dremeks..." Said Ekimus.
"What are you talking about big guy?" I started to get a bad feeling about this, not a lot of things made Ekimus curse.
"Dremeks are a race of vile creatures....almost the same as gargoyles except they do not turn to stone at day.....I think legend say's they are a mix between a gargoyle and a dragon.....They have black skin with red eyes, they stand 8 feet tall, their twice as strong as a dragon....and have the ability to summon fire, they are very powerful....I thought they where only a myth but then again I thought that the children of Judas where myths...but then again I was proven wrong."
"So how does one go about summoning up a Dremak?" Said Joe with a confused face.
"It's DREMEK, you go to the river Styx and join three spirits..and then sacrifice them to summon a Dremek...it is a foul beast indeed." Ekimus sounded almost afraid.
"Wait why would he want the truce between me and him then?"
"He probably wants you to stay out of it for now Alex."
"Well then I guess we go to where the army is gathering and kick some MAJOR ASS...." Said Joe a little to Excited.
"Wait Joe not so fast will need help for this...maybe we can ask heaven or something like that to help right, I mean if there's a hell there has to be a heaven....right?" Said Julie almost crying from what she was hearing. No one had the heart to tell her that Heaven was almost destroyed a couple of weeks ago and couldn't offer any help, even though they owed me big time.
"Well maybe I know someone who can help us, Joe can you get in touch with Scarlet, maybe she can find some of the Survivors of the order of the Red Hoods and help us out."
"No problem Bo-Bo, I'll call around and look around and find her in a jiffy." Joe ran out very happy.
"Well now that he's doing that, Julie I have to train you to fight.....are you ready?"
"More than ready, oh by the way...I love you." I almost started to blush, then I forgot I couldn't, it had been so long since I heard that.
"I love you to....now prepare yourself......FIRE SHOT"
