Chapter 12: The End of Reincarnations

Reeve was aware of the fact that he was being dragged across the ground when he first regained consciousness. Next he realized that whoever was dragging him was dragging him by his head. The hand was burning his skin, suddenly he remembered. The fire demon who had knocked him out. He struggled a bit and the demon stopped dragging him and threw him to the ground. "Well look who's awake," the demon picked him up by his ponytail and threw him to the ground, he then tied up Reeve's hands. "Come on I'm taking you to the general," he poked Reeve's back with the sword and the half elf walked.

'No point in trying to escape now, I'll just get killed,' he thought ', I'll wait until the opportune moment.'

Eventually, they reached the largest tent, it was navy blue. After being prodded by the demon, Reeve entered the tent. The tent had armor and weapons racks all around the walls, a thrown of oak wood was placed in the middle of the room. In it sat a man in black armor trimmed with gold, he sat rigidly examining a great sword. The man had dark blue hair, which reached his mid-back, he raised a eyebrow when Reeve entered, his olive eyes staring at him intently. "General Shin this boy was with three others in the forest, trying to escape from the armies," explained the demon ", he almost escaped to but I was able to stop him."

Shin stood up, leaning his sword against the thrown then walked up to Reeve ", What were you doing in the forest," he demanded, locking eye's with Reeve.

"We were sent by the keeper to investigate your forces," lied Reeve, without blinking.

"You're a pretty good liar," responded Shin. "Since you won't tell us and I don't really feel like forcing you to," he paused ", yet. What's your name boy?" asked the general.

"Reeve son of Loki, half-elf, quarter shadow-demon, and a quarter human," responded Reeve, there was no reason to hide anything like that, he'd either escape or die their prisoner.

Shin grinned darkly and said ", Excellent, you'll be perfect for the plans of our Emperor." He raised his hand and fired a ball of lightning at Reeve, knocking him out at the close range.

Many hours later

Reeve awoke in a cart of some sort, his hands were shackled behind his back and his feet were clamped together at the ankles, there was a collar around his neck that was made of a smooth red and black stone. 'Shit, a mana breaker I won't be able to use magic,' he thought. After studying the inside of the cart he saw his sword strapped to the ground a few meters to his right, out of reach. He closed his eyes ', I hope the other were able to make it to the kingdom okay,' he thought. The half-elf rolled over slightly and went to sleep.

A three-day cart ride later

Two mercenaries dragged Reeve out of the cart, they undid the clamp on his ankles. "Walk," one of them ordered, Reeve did as he was told. They hadn't fed him to whole three days and he didn't have the strength to try and fight. The one who didn't order him grabbed Reeve's sword and followed. They were on the shore, a massive ship was docked nearby. Reeve trudged foreword, stumbling every so often. Eventually they reached the ship and entered. The walked down a hall with red carpet, gold candlesticks, and ornamental wallpaper. "Wait here," they ordered after throwing Reeve into a room, they slammed the door and Reeve heard their footsteps going down the hall.

The room was about the size of his dorm, it had a few shelves, a dresser, and a queen sized bed. Reeve, being absolutely exhausted and stiff from the three days in the cart, lied down on the bed and fell asleep almost instantly. About an hour later a female Drow in a maid uniform awakened him. "Wake up Reeve son of Loki," she said ", We've got some clothes for you then you must talk with the emperor." She bowed and walked out of the room, standing outside beside the door waiting for him.

"Emperor?" he mumbled as he pulled on a baggy black shirt, a pair of baggy black pants, his boots, then wrapped his scarf around his neck. He exited the room and without a word the Drow began walking, Reeve followed. They walked for a long time until they reached a door with the words 'grand hall' written on it. Reeve opened the door after his guide motioned toward it. On the other side the door was a grand wall with the same wallpaper, and carpet of the halls, but also a high ceiling with massive gold chandeliers hanging from it. There was also a massive table laid out with food, at the end of the table farthest from Reeve sat a winged figure with short messy gray hair and a beard. He was dressed in a black robe with gold trimmings and he was staring intensely at Reeve. He looked like a celestial but he had gray wings and he looked old, he had been the son of a fallen angel and human realized Reeve.

The fallen celestial motioned towards the chair on the other end of the table and Reeve walked hesitantly towards it. Once he had sat down the figure spoke ", So you are the one Shin informed me that he was going to send, you have a very interesting bloodline Reeve," said the man in an emotionless voice ", I am the Emperor." Reeve glared at the Emperor, meeting his emotionless dark eyes. "You'll be glad to know that your friends informed the kingdom of my armies attack, and they defeated my army," the Emperor told the teen.

Reeve grinned without any real amusement ", But that won't stop you will it, you have more armies, more generals, more soldiers, and you could easily get more demons to come forth?" asked the half-elf.

"True but that will take time and I'm missing a general, now that Shin is dead," explained the Emperor. "That is where you come in, you see you have very powerful blood that, if you are properly trained, will make you near unstoppable. But of course you won't join me willingly and your friends will be looking for you," said the fallen celestial.

"Yeah, I suppose your going to force me to serve you and have me kill my friends," replied Reeve.

"Exactly."

"How? It takes many powerful Mages to do that kind of thing."

"Oh I can do it quite easily, you see I can use mana like water and I am very skilled with mentally controlling and influencing someone," he explained. Reeve was about to say something except suddenly the Emperors eyes flashed and the black haired teen collapsed.

Days Later

Reeve bowed down to the emperor, he wore black leather armor trimmed with red, baggy black pants, black leather boots with a red trim, his scarf, and leather gloves also trimmed with red. On his back were Striker and Ahriman, a sword given to him by the emperor. "Emperor Erebus I await your orders," he said in an emotionless voice.

Erebus looked down at his new general, Reeve had taken a few days to manipulate but now he served the fallen celestial without question. As a safety precaution he had renamed Reeve. "Sergius the academy has sent out small parties in search of Reeve, you must distract them by destroying some of the nearby fishing villages," ordered Erebus.

"Yes sir," replied Reeve who stood and saluted. He then turned and left the ship.

Erebus grinned ', With his power at my command it will be easy for me to gain control of this continent,' he thought.

Outside

Sergius walked to a nearby shadow, tied his scarf around his mouth and nose, and sunk into the shadow.

He emerged in the nearby village of Fishel, it was rather tiny, with about ten small wooden houses and docks where many small boats were tied. Under his scarf Sergius grinned, he drew Striker and Ahriman, and stepped out of the shadows. Without even motioning the houses burst into flame and as the people inside began to flee the flame and escape from their houses, Sergius slew them all. When he was finished the houses had been burned to the ground and there was only one survivor left a terrified woman in her early twenties. Sergius walked up to her and sunk into her shadow, leaving the woman to tell the story of the teen who had destroyed the village.

Over the next day or so Sergius had destroyed all the nearby villages. By now many if the parties sent out from the academy had heard the story of the black haired teen that had burned the villages and killed the inhabitants. The story unsettled many of the parties, for most people from the academy had met Reeve and the description fitted him. It was especially unsettling for Kathy, Heather, Jake, and Faris, a knight from the kingdom of Obi who was accompanying them. The group had also heard stories of the giant ship docked along the shore and they headed toward it.

Sergius sat at the table across from Erebus eating dinner and suddenly the ship shook. Erebus looked at Sergius ", Kill whoever is attacking," he ordered. Sergius stood, bowed, and sunk into a shadow.

He rose from the shadows and was instantly hit with volleys of arrows and fireballs, most of the arrows were incinerated by the fire or by a barrier he had quickly raised. There was a moment's silence while the smoke from the fireballs hitting cleared. The smoke cleared and Sergius stood, a arrow in his shoulder but unharmed other then that. For the first time he saw the force attacking the ship, there were only about twenty people. Archers, healers, warriors, mages, and a knight stood ready to fight him. Sergius faltered when he saw a beautiful red head, an elf, and a half- beastman, then he drew his shadow and wrapped it around him, creating armor with wings and claws, and only his face wasn't covered by shadow. He flew down and killed all the attackers with ease, all except the three that had caused him to falter and the knight, who had dodged his attack.

Sergius landed on the ground and dismissed his shadow armor, he glared at the remaining four and yelled ", Who are you?"

The elf stood foreword, she seemed to have tears in her eyes ", Don't you remember us Reeve, we're your friends? You and I are family, I'm your cousin Heather. Don't you remember?" she asked, sobbing slightly.

Sergius' face twitched slightly ", I am not this Reeve you speak of, I am Sergius, general of emperor Erebus' army," he declared, drawing his swords. He charged foreword and struck at the knight who parried the attack.

The knight growled ", Murderer, you've killed innocent people and your classmates."

"I killed innocents true, but I have no classmates to kill," he exclaimed, knocking the knight back.

Just as he prepared to strike, Sergius was grabbed from behind. "You've been brainwashed Reever," said the half-beastman calmly ", Try and remember, it's Jake, Heather, and Kathy. You know us, me and you are best friends," Jake said calmly, trying to break through to his friend. Sergius continued to struggle to try and escape his captors grasp

"I say we kill him," said the knight ", it's to dangerous to try and make him remember."

Kathy walked foreword and slapped the knight ", We won't be killing him Faris!" she exclaimed. She then turned to Sergius and slapped him as well ", How could you forget us all so easily?" she yelled at him, slapping him again.

Sergius glared at her ", There was nothing to forget and nothing forgotten, I've never seen you before," he growled ", any of you." Suddenly Faris rushed foreword and his the captive half elf over then head with the pommel of his sword. Sergius promptly passed out.

Inside the boat

Erebus sighed as he sensed Sergius pass out, he stood up and walked out of the dinning hall. Less then a minute later he walked out of the ship, with a few of his better soldiers in tow.

"Who are you," demanded Jake, who had laid Sergius down on the ground. He took out his battle-axe and stood in a ready position.

"I am the one who is in control of your friend Reeve, but since he lost so easily to the four of you, you can have him back," he explained.

Reeve suddenly regained conscience-ness, he opened his eyes and scrambled to his feet once he realized where he was and what was going on. "I feel like I've been hit by ton of bricks," he mumbled as he rubbed his forehead. He glared at Erebus, threw Ahriman off his back and into the shallow waters and drew Striker ", You...," he growled at the fallen celestial. Before anyone could stop him he charged foreword at the Emperor, once he was about five meters away from Erebus he jumped into the air and brought Striker in an overhead slash. Erebus jumped about two meters back and in less then a second had drawn his sword and stabbed down into Reeves back. Heather and Kathy screamed as he died instantly.

The dark tunnel

Reeve stood in a dark tunnel looking at the emerald haired teen, pale blue eyes locked with saffron eyes, he realized that even if he used all the shadows in the tunnel he would be unable to harm the teen. "Who are you?" the half-elf asked of the other.

The teen sighed ", Not this conversation again," he scratched his head. "I can explain this all," said the emerald haired one ", if you just shake my hand." He held out a gauntleted hand.

Reeve raised an eyebrow and took the hand. There was a flash of light and Jessy stood, finally at the end of his reincarnations. His emerald green hair was tied back in a tight ponytail, his bangs were spiked foreword and down, his eyes were saffron with a pale blue ring around his pupils, his skin was pale, his ears were pointed, he was still about six four, and still had the lean muscles from his original form. Now the trench- coat was made of black leather with a red trim, Striker was still on his back, the katana he had as Sloan was gone, he wore a tattered red scarf around his neck, his black jeans were a little baggy, and he wore Sloan's gauntlets. He turned and walked down to the sooty red light at the end of the tunnel, his scarf and trench coat trailing behind him.

Later

"What do you mean I'm not going back yet," demanded Jessy to the Boss Demon ", you said after I was done with these incarnations I would be returned to the world where I died."

"That's true," said the giant demon ", but there was something I forgot to mention. I have to give you the memories you would have if you hadn't left your world until after your grade ten year."

Jessy raised an eyebrow and said ", Well get on with it so I can go save the world or whatever it is I need to do."

"Very well, close your eyes," instructed the demon. Jessy closed his eyes and he felt something hit him mentally, it felt like getting hit by a ton of bricks. "There you have the memories," said the demon.

The memories came to Jessy, all the things he learned in grade ten, his experiences in the program he had decided to take called TERRA, and many other things. He opened his eyes ", Well if there isn't anything else I'll be going now," said Jessy as he turned to leave. He walked up the stairs outside the door and to the portal.

The demon-ness was there as usual, once Jessy had made his way to the portal she stood. "Once you go through the gate you will arrive at the high school you will be attending," she explained ", you will be in uniform and you will have a backpack. In the backpack there will be instructions and directions to your new apartment. When you arrive at the apartment there will be two people waiting for you, your guardian angel, who will pretend to be your mother and a demon, who will pretend to be your father."

Jessy raised a green eyebrow ", Why do I need people to pretend to be my parents?" he asked.

"For cover," she explained ", so no one questions your past. You will be pretending to have just moved here from Canada." Jessy nodded and turned to go into the portal. "Oh one more thing," she said ", I suggest that you don't befriend the Digidestined or Kayla right away, because they might figure out it's you."

Again Jessy nodded then jumped through the portal.
