Heroes From Above
Chapter 8
After the Angel left the boys, the boys flew towards central Paris and fought off some demons that are wreaking the city. They seem to be causing more and more damage to the demons as they fought on. They stopped to question commanding chiefs of the demon swarms. But they would not talk. Depressed and in rage, the boys rushed back to Townsville. As they returned, they told that the girls are captured to the professor and told him that he must find refuge with the mayor and Ms. Bellum. Later on that night, after the boys ensured that the citizens of Townsville will be safe from the demon horde if they are hiding underground, they discussed where can they locate the dungeons that the girls are trapped. "We must find out where are the dungeons" "We need to find and rescue the girls as soon as possible. To many people are dying!" Brick said.
"How? We have no idea of finding where those dungeons may be!" Boomer spoke. With that, an angel appeared in their room. It was the same angel that had given them the gauntlets.
"Warriors. We have located the dungeons of the demons. You know your instructions on defeating them. So whatever it is, you are ready to defeat them, correct?" The boys nodded. The angel then continued, " The earth demon will be located in a desecrated temple Mexico, while the Demon of Weather in the cold steppes of Mongolia." "The fire demon will be in the hot deserts of Egypt." "Good luck fellow heroes, and may the light be with you!" With that said, the angel vanished.
"Well my brothers, we know the locations now, so let's go!" Brick shouted. His brothers nodded. The boys then said good luck to each other and separated to proceed to each location to face of the demon they have to fight. They packed food and clothing in their packs and began their long flight to each area of the world.
Butch arrived in where once stood Mexico City. The place was in ruins and the demons are fierce. Butch fought those who opposed him and he defeated them all. "Where am I'm gonna find the dungeon here?" he thought. He rushed through a part of the desert city to find soldiers shooting at the demons. As he ran to fight them, one of the men shooting at the demons shouted an ancient language. Seconds later, lightning flashed and killed off 10 demons, while the rest are still unharmed, despite the endless shots from the soldiers' guns. "A person with magic! They must know something about locating the dungeon!" Butch thought. As he killed off the last demon, the soldiers watched in amazement.
The man who cast the lightning attack spell, spoke, "Well! Hello there, stranger. It seems you have the power to fight off these demons." "I am Juan Tomarso, and I'm an archaeologist and I have discovered several scrolls containing prophecies about these attacks." "At first I did not believe them, I sure do believe them now. And I seem to have learned that lightning attack from one of my scrolls." "Come, the jungle has become more and more wild with demons. I think we should head back to the village. I have erected a protection spell from a scroll and there will be our refuge against the jungle." He then led Butch to the village.
As Butch explained his quest to Juan, Juan became fascinated by the information. He spoke, "This might be the reason why demons are attacking Mexico." "I bet I have scrolls that I have found earlier about this demon." He then had a grim look on his face as he remembered. "It seems we may be unlucky, my findings of those scrolls are located in a temple 4 miles from here towards the east." "I was forced to flee when the demons attacked my camp at the temple. Go to the temple and retrieve the scrolls, they will be valuable to us." Juan looked out the window to see the jungle creep closer. "And it seems we need the scrolls more than ever. One of the scrolls is the scroll of Sorotico, an ancient priest who predicted the attack that is happening now, and had created a scroll of protection. We need that scroll to reinforce our barrier at this camp or else we will be destroyed."
"Don't worry, I will find that scroll!" Butch shouted. He then rushed out towards the temple grounds. The camp was a mess, bodies are everywhere and destroyed pup tents were scattered all over the jungle floor. He looked towards the temple and he saw many undead minions pouring out of the temple. "The evil influence here must have re-awoken the dead." He thought. He fought several demons and went inside the temple. He fought and ran through the passages in search of the chamber Juan had fled from. When he found it , he was challenged by an undead champion. "I am Maruko, and you shall not retrieve the scrolls!" He released a dark golden beam at Butch, but was too slow to damage Butch. Butch sidestepped quickly and lands a 6 slash combo with his sword. In an instant, Maruko was reduced to a pile of old bones and flesh. "That was easy." Butch thought. He took the scrolls and rushed out of the temple, just to see it crumble to ruins as he flew away from the temple.
Butch returned the scrolls to Juan and told him of his quest in the temple. "Very good, I will go reinforce the barrier now." Juan said, "I will return to translate the scrolls on this earth demon you are talking about." After the barrier was reinforced, Juan translated the scrolls and told Butch the information he had learned from the scrolls. He spoke, "It seems that this dungeon is located in the remains of a temple in the area." "But it says here that the gate to the dungeon has to be opened with the sword of kurasho." He showed Butch the symbol of Kurasho which was on the scroll. He was surprised to find that the gem on Butch's gauntlet has the exact symbol, and so did his sword. "Well, I guess you all set to fight the demon. I wish you luck my friend."
Butch thanked Juan for his help and flew towards the Temple. As he stepped inside the temple, he found a real old stone door with strange markings on it. "This must be the gate to the dungeon." He went up to the door and he sees a hole that seems to let his sword fit through it. He inserted his sword through the hole and the door flashed with a dark green light. The door opened a moment later, revealing the dark stairs below. Butch wondered down the stairs and finds a chamber filled with evil spirits. In the middle of the room, stood a Chest. "You must defeat all of us to lay hands on the mystical jewel of Sashuko!" "The jewel! That must be what I require to kill the demon." He fought roughly against the spirits but failed and he got hit by several earth attacks from the spirits. "I wonder how I harm these guys!" he thought. He then realized that they are reinforced by the power of earth. He charged up his gauntlet and it released a green glow that spread to the sword in a matter of seconds. He slashed and released beams towards the spirits and defeated them. He placed his sword through the key hole of the chest and it opened to reveal a jewel in it. He placed the jewel on his gauntlet and then there was a big flash of green light. A section of the wall of that chamber became highlighted by the green glow. "I think there's where the demon is."he thought as he slashed repeatedly to take down the wall.
He came through the opening to find a hideous demon. "I am Krinous, the lord of Earth. How dare you intrude my castle! You shall feel my wrath!" Without warning, the earth cracked under Butch and he almost fell through. Butch gave a 56 punch combo to the demon's face. With that, the demon gave Butch a hard punch and sends him through a wall. Butch, not giving up, then gave a 5 slash combo with his sword and jabbed the demon hard through the gut. The demon roared in pain. "Time to die, Demon!" Butch shouted. His gauntlet glowed with power as it empowered his sword with the holy energy of earth. He stabbed the Demon, and the demon roared in agony. The demon then completely vanishes and left remains of his energy in a green aura. Butch absorbed the energy and instantly mastered more control over the earth. "At last my quest to kill this demon is finished." He looked about the chamber to find a cell. He looked into the cell to find Buttercup, chained to the wall. He broke the door and rushed in. He freed her from her restraints and hugged her.
"Oh Butch, I know you will save me! Thank you!" Butch just smiled and kissed her lightly. "It is good to have you safe again Buttercup. Let's get outta here!" He then carried Buttercup on his back and flew out of the temple. When he flew out, he realized that the jungles and the demons are vanishing one by one. "It seems me victory over the Earth demon is forcing these demons to vanish from existence. I saved Mexico from the hands of evil and destruction." He thought. He then flew towards Townsville, cradling Buttercup in his arms while he flew at high speeds.
