Black Knight

BAN

Heh, what a day… Eric here… Anyways, if you all might of known by now, the Devil, my partial creator, (a long story,) is growing ever so stronger by the years and I haven't done much against him yet… I know that it's my duty to take care of him myself and help out the team of Asuka, Zack (my brother), Nicole, Tiny, Leo, and Moe… The Devil is the ultimate enemy as I learned 6 years ago when I was 18...

It was November 11th, 2011; and I was on my from the grocery store after buying some darn food that keeps running out every 4 days. I hate to say it, but shopping for food almost every week is so boring and plain horrible to do… Anyways, I hope that one day, we could get something that could give us food everyday (that would help me so much.) But during the drive with my Lotus Elise (color: dark blue,) I couldn't really remember if I was missing anything. Oh drats…(no it's not that I forgot something.) It was a metallic Black Ferrari F50! The Devil was watching me all along… How much I hate him! "Oh great," I mutter, "some people just don't give up do they…" I kicked my car into 2nd gear and hit the gas, past the F50. When I just past, the headlights turned on and chased me through Dox City. Dammit, another chase after how many? 10! The Devil never seems to give up and admit that our team has ruined most of his plans… I switched to third gear and still tried to lose the gaining super car behind me. I gritted my teeth and headed towards an alleyway. I looked at my rearview mirror and looked. All I saw was dust and trashes flying and no car. I looked back towards the front only to say hello to a wall! "Dammit," I said aloud… Then the inevitable happened, my brakes didn't respond. Oh shit… The next thing I know is a loud BOOM! The world became black and I don't know what happened…

It was October 9, 2005; I woke up in my room only to find Nicole sitting there on my bed. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "Oh nothing, just to tell you that we are late for school," she laughed (pretty laugh though.) So I got up and dressed (the usual routine,) got some waffles, and rushed out the door with Nicole following in her, well, very appealing clothes. I was all dressed up in a blue, no-sleeve shirt with saggy gray pants. Nicole, well, she was in a totally brighter clothes chuckle. She only had a white tank top with blue, jean short (something I like.) Anyways, where was I, um, oh yeah… She and I got into my totally black and cool Toyota Celica (which she gave me as a late birthday present a while ago.) We drove to school or known as Garden and lets say that it was a quiet ride there. When I got into the Garden, my best buddy Mike, came to greet us both.

"Hey Nicole and Eric!"

"Hi Mike," greeted Nicole happily.

"Yeah, hey." I said quickly and rushed inside.

"Eric, where are you headed," asked Nicole, "there is still ten more minutes until first period!"

"Well, I gotta be early for class," I responded, "What do you think?"

"That isn't like you, you're usually coming in class at the last minute!"

"Hey, it's a new day, so I have to do something new right?"

Mike shrugged, and Nicole put her hand on her hips and shook her head. Okay whatever… I ran inside laughing, though the front gate only to meet Nicole's big brother, Tiny the moron. "Hey Chicken-wuss," Tiny greeted me with a smile. "Nothing much," I growled glaring at him. He always called me Chicken-wuss as a nickname a while ago… "That's cool, but don't you think that you should be at the Quad preparing for the party that is going on next week?" "No since I'm not interested." I mutter and quickly walked past by in a hurry. "OK!" yelled Tiny behind me. So, I ran into Leo's (my teacher, and annoying friend,) classroom only to find him on the ground lying there. "What the hell are you doing?" I asked him while walking over to the desk. "Oh hell, I think I might have pulled my pelvis muscle," he laughed.

"Why is that funny?"

"Well, does it look funny to you?"

"Yes, and stupid…"

Suddenly, my brother came into the class, I hate him so much. He is so cold and acts like a bastard a lot… "Hey Zack, whazzup?" Leo asked so erratically. "Nothing," Zack muttered quietly with a cold glare, "But I do have a message from Headmaster for my brother." "Oh?" I asked stupidly. "Well, you're suppose to find this little kid who may have been lost in the training center…" Oh great, I'm a search and rescue guy now. "Fine, but is there anyone else?" "Yes, Nicole will be your partner." SeeDs never seem to do anything alone I noticed with the exception of Zack. I shrugged in disgust when Flake left for his class and I head towards the Training Center…

When I got there, I saw Nicole standing there, waiting for me. "Hey, are you ready?" She nodded and we headed off. Inside the Training Center is like the Amazon Jungle with a lot of electrical fences around to keep the monsters out and it wasn't really a great place for anyone since monsters are everywhere. I walked along with Nicole following me like a loyal companion (kinda like her dog Angelo.) Suddenly I heard Nicole shriek! I turned around to see a monster vegetable wrap around her. I find it funny, but I had to kill it for Nicole's sake. I took out my long sword and slashed the vegetable's arms off. It whimpered and ran off. A son-of-a-gun… We continued along until my ears picked up some sobbing. "Did you hear that?" I asked Nicole. "Hear what?" She can be kind of a blonde sometimes. Anyways, I walked over to an opening in the fence that seems to have been blasted apart. How strange, no monster here has that kind firepower! I went over and looked in. There, I saw a little girl crying in the shrubbery. "Hey kid!" I yelled to her, "Can you hear me?" Kinda stupid, I know. But she did look up and smiled at me. I went into the jungle and picked her up. She welcomed me with open arms (Yuck!) I got up with her in my arms and walked out. "Oh my, is she ok?" asked Nicole with concern. "What do you think?" I responded sarcastically. I let her down, and she and Nicole went back to the Infirmary for a check up. I sighed in relief for her safety and the simple job. "I'm proud of you Eric." said a dark, mysterious male voice. Huh? I looked around only to find nothing. I shrugged and walked off.

"Eric, you have improved and actually aren't a killing machine like your brother." said the voice.

I turned around only to see a dark figure.

"Who the hell are you?" I retorted.

"I'm your creator," he chuckled.

"No you aren't, you don't know me!"

"Are you sure, you do have that mark on your back of a small dragon correct?"

"Huh!" I was shocked! How did he know about my mark that I had ever since I was born? I never have shown it to anyone.

"Hah, yet you still have that stubborn temper of yours." He walked out as some man who looked like he was 45 or something wearing some dark black clothes with a dark jacket too. I don't know this guy? "Who are you?" I asked once more. "You sure you want to know?" he asked with a sharp tone, "I am the Devil!" I laughed, "Yeah right." "It's true, I can kill you any second if I feel like it." He stuck out his hand and squeezed his fingers together. "Urgh!" I cried and fell to my knees. My heart was being pulverized! The pain was like ten thousand needles hitting that one area. I never felt this pain before. I gasped for air as the heart of mine began to shrink. He finally let go of his fingers and I relaxed. "How the hell did you do that?" I was bewildered. "Eric , you will never understand now, but I'm your creator, not your parents." he turned and walked towards a car that I have only seen in some TV shows or magazines, a black Ferrari F50! I got up slowly and watched the so-called Devil drive off… My creator, what does he mean?

Later that day, at home, I went over to Flake's house to check out what's all the noise. I live next door to him, so that's ironic. I rang the bell and Nicole came out to answer it. "Hiya Eric!" she said cheerfully. "Hey, I was wondering if I could borrow your trash can?" I didn't know what to say, I just forgot what I wanted. She gave me her light blue small trash can and I went back to my small gray house next to their lively white house. However, as I went into my home, there was that same psychotic guy.

"Good Evening Eric." the Devil said with a weird tone of voice.

"What do you want?"

"I want you to join me."

"Join you in what?" Whoever he is, he's quite creepy.

"My army of darkness…"

"Huh?"

"You are my creation and I control you!"

"Yeah right you weirdo!"

"I'LL KILL YOU!" he yelled and something came out of the ground and launched at me. I screamed and suddenly the world swirled around and crashed on me…

"ERIC!" yelled a voice that sounded familiar. I groaned and got my eyes to open up. Where the hell am I? Oh my god… I was inside a huge dome area and it was kinda dark. I looked around and found out that I was on a platform without anything else except for a small bridge that connected to my exit and Nicole's entrance. "Nicole, what are you doing here?" I yelled back. Before she could answer, I heard many footsteps. I looked up to find Leo, Tiny, Asuka, and Moe with Zack leading the way. "Hey Eric!" yelled Tiny from a distance. I got up and walked over to Nicole. All of a sudden, lights surrounded us and then some ugly-looking monsters came out of the floor. Zack took out his favored Gunblade, Asuka, her two short katanas, Tiny got his shotgun ready, and Leo took out his one-handed Gunblade. Moe, well, he was clawing away at the enemies that seem to be coming at us endlessly. There was killing all around me. Blood everywhere from the helpless monsters. I know that our team was unstoppable. And I was proud to be part of it. However, Nicole and I just stood there are the rest of our team was on the killing spree. Nicole and looked at each other and hugged. It was a good thing to find myself to be with her. "Well, well, well," spoke the ever so annoying voice of the Devil, "Isn't this a romantic moment for you two?" I glared at him, but I didn't have my weapon. I whispered to Nicole, "How did you guys find me?" She looked at me with those loving eyes (makes me wanna cry,) and said quietly, "I don't know, but all I know is that your heart lead us here." I smiled, that's great, you all found me at the Devil's hideout. "Sorry to break this to you, but Eric, we still have a deal going between you and I." chuckled the Devil. Huh? A deal? "You belong to me!" All of a sudden, everyone (except Nicole,) fell to our knees and were weakened. How does this guy do it? I struggled to get up. But, I was just too weak… I looked up to see Nicole frozen solid in fear as the Devil got in front of her from a distance. "Nicole, you have been a nuisance long enough…" All of a sudden, the Devil raised one arm high and from nowhere, ice formed into a jagged long ice spear. Oh shit. "Nicole," I cried. No, it can't be… She was the only Angel left on earth (said Reptile.) I kept trying to get up, but no use, the gravity was too strong also. I heard the Devil laugh and launch his deadly ice spear at Nicole! No! I looked down in defeat, the Devil had won? This can't be true…

All of a sudden, I heard Nicole's scream. NO! I looked up expecting to see Nicole dead on the ground. Oh no! Nicole was still standing there though as if nothing happened (except with her hands up to protect herself.) Then when she looked up, she gasped in disbelief. I couldn't believe it either! There was the Devil also looking in shock. It can't be! There was Zack, standing there with the ice spear right through his chest. He looked like he was in major pain. Then he staggered a bit like a drunk and went over to the edge of the platform. "ZACK!" screamed Nicole in anguish! No! And there he went, with Nicole trying to reach for him. Zack, my older brother, fell off the edge of the platform into certain death. I can't believe it, my brother was murdered right in front of me. He sacrificed himself for her! I got up with the rest of my strength and picked up my brother's gunblade and ran at the Devil in pain! This is the end! Everyone got up and took out their weapons as well. It will be the end for you, Devil… Eric
