Anyway, keep an open mind and know that anime references will be aplenty, welcome to my world My Demons
Hi brother he spoke his nickname Iori, he is... powerful but it doesn't matter their brotherhood is strong. Iori's house was modest out on the porch he stood a grin on his face that promised pain.
"Well brother is there something wrong? Your usually so lazy that I have to wait for you to even open the door". Albert said as he stood in front of Iori
"Dumbass" was all Iori said before a black energy beam came from him, blasting Albert through the ground.
"Cough dam cough, you know sneak attacks should be beneath you".
" Hey it's training, no one told you to let your guard down, now why don't you pick yourself up and pretend you've done this before".
" Asshole you're going to pay for that!"
Albert jumped out of the hole and took to the air, thinking quickly he raised an energy shield to block the incoming volley. Managing to block and dodge, Albert took to the offensive focusing his energy into his right hand. He bridges the gap between them and lets his right-hand fly, the ground shook beneath them from the shock wave.
But... I'm getting ahead of myself, so let me tell you how we got here. This.. is their story please enjoy.
Flashback
It was late at night as he walked the streets of Mexico, his heart heavy with sadness and anger. Tends to happen when you lose a loved one, he walked for a while till he found himself at the plaza. It was a lively night as most where back then, everyone laughing and eating from the street vendors. Then a sweet aroma filled the air snapping him out of his trance, looking around he found his target... churro stand. A small smile came across his face, his treat in hand he began to walk home.
" Damn it, not even churros can help. Grandpa why? why did you have to leave me, I wasn't ready. He said in a low tone
"Your spirit is incredible, but I sense a darkness in you".
He heard from behind him, turning around he saw an old lady standing there her head down not making eye contact. The kid stood there staring at her, she was dressed in old cloths. One would think she was homeless by her appearance, but it was the feeling she gave him that scared him. It was not fear he felt, but it was damn near close.
"Umm, hello? Can I help you?"
He asked, but she did not answer her head was still down. He could hear her saying something below her breath but was not able to make out what she was saying. Having already been freaked out, he excused himself and began to walk away. But before he could take a step back, her head lifted, she was saying something in a language he did not understand. Next there was a flash of light and she was gone.
Flashback#2
It was 2008 my junior year of Highschool, I was making my way back from lunch with a friend. It was a nice day, although we had been talking about or family tree.
"No way really Albert you have witch blood in you?"
" Yeah, well if you believe my dad that is. He said my great great grandmother was the first witch of the village he grew up in. Add to that each one of my aunt's thinks they're psychic, and that I will develop abilities too".
"You don't believe in it Albert?" she asked curiously as they made their way to the second floor of the school.
" I wouldn't say I don't it's just hard to imagine you know, future seeing and spoon bending blah blah blah".
They both continued to talk as they reached the 2nd floor, it was here when it happened the day that changed me. To make a long story short, I was recently dumped (my own fault) but then I found I was being used. Up to this point I had not seen them together so you can imagine my mood.
"Albert... are you ok?" the girl asked
I remember just standing there next to her we were at the end of the hall. Then everyone just stopped, no one moved as if their instincts overrode their system and told them not too. My body was sending out a massive amount of heat my friend even took a few steps back.
"Albert snap out of it!" she yells at me as everyone went about their day.
"What? what happen? why are we just standing around here?"
" You don't remember? she said looking worriedly
"Umm no? Should I come on we're going to be late for class".
"(We made it back to class and things were normal, afterwards she went onto explain what had happen. I remember just laughing at her saying that stuff like that doesn't happen. Thinking back, I was foolish, on my way home I began to think and that's when… I heard him)".
"(Interesting boy your body and soul are different. Yes, you will do just fine, with proper training that is").
"What the? who's there?" I remember looking around people that where walking just stared.
"( Hehe what's the matter Albert? I see in your memories that you have an idea of what I am)"
"(Am I going crazy? Who the hell are you)" not going to lie at the time I thought I was going crazy.
"(Who me? I'm your new best friend)".
Flashback end
"(So yeah that's how it happened, ever since then I've had this... roommate in my noggin. But that's beside the point. Sorry no epic tale on how he came to me but hey that's life. Anyway, that's enough fourth wall breaking, I'll let the story play out by itself enjoy)".
Few days after first encounter
The rain was pouring as we see the 17-year-old Albert running at the park. He was a big guy and wanted to lose the weight. He looked around as he ran under a park playground structure to get out of the rain. He looked as the rain raged on, the park he was in was a simple one. A half mile circle track that surrounded it with a couple of playground structures and swings with a jungle gym set up. He looked off into the distance just thinking, when a cold shiver ran down his spine, he searched around for the source.
"(What the hell was that?)" he said as he looked around the park
"(Good good your starting to feel it, their presence. Don't be afraid, this means that your evolving)".
"(It's you again, I thought I told you to get out!)" He said as he began to make his way out of the park.
"(No no don't run away, it's time for you to see your future)"
Albert began to run across the field the feeling of dread beginning to wash over him. He stopped in his tracks, as in the distance something came running towards him. To his amazement the creature stopped, they both just stared at each other sizing the other up.
"(Yes, that's it let your fear go and instinct take over. You can tear these things to shreds let my power flow through you and unleash your fury!)"
"(What are you talking about, what is that thing? Why is no one else seeing this)".
"(That's not important, all you have to worry about is surviving, now let's see if your boxing training paid off)".
Albert did not reply instead he just took his stance, but to him the creature in front of him was obstructed. It's as if that one thing was surrounded by shadow, he could nearly make out his arms. Albert jumped forward dodging the creates first strike, he shot back with a left hook, but it went straight through it.
"What the hell!
"(Foolish boy! That's not how you fight, this is how you fight!")
"AHHHH!"
He screamed in pain he felt as if his body was being torn in two. It was followed by a cold sensation that swirled all over him, his vision on the creature became clearer. After it passed, he took a breath and looked around, he felt no wind nor the rain falling around him. But what terrified him was staring at his own body, it took him a second to realize that his color had faded. He was now a transparent blue form, but his body just stood there.
"What happen to me? What did you do?" he yelled
"You are a slow one, aren't you? How do you fight an enemy that one cannot see? The answer for you at this point, is that you have to go to their world".
They did not have time to continue talking as the creature came back for a fight. Albert dodged the strikes easily, not realizing how fast he was actually moving. He got in close and delivered a flurry of punches to its ribs, then he grabbed it by its shoulders threw it over his head. Not stopping he ran jumped on top of it and began to beat the hell out of it mercilessly. But no matter how hard he hit; the creature continued to move.
" Why won't you just die!"
" You don't have the conviction to kill yet boy, allow me".
This part took things to another level of weird, as he held down the creature a spike burst from his chest. It stabbed straight threw the monster as it let out a loud cry, it was then obliterated in a flash of light. Albert stayed there as he tried to process what happened, turning around he saw his body just standing there.
"What is going on? what happen it to it?"
"Don't worry about that boy, just know that this is only the beginning".
"The beginning of what? what happen to my body? What the hell are you planning?"
" HA HA yes let me go ahead and tell you my plan, you do watch too much anime. But I do suppose you need to learn the rules, this form you are in is not your normal one".
" No shit dumbass, it's not like every day I say hey I don't like my body let me be transparent blue!" he yelled, his new form standing in front of his body.
"HA HA HA! Yes, I suppose not let me explain your new life, first thing is that this is your soul form. But before you start no you are not a reaper, nor are you a soul eater. Your mind is cluttered with anime and manga, so I want to make this clear to you. This is what you humans would call the astral plain, although going through your memories I can see you have a miss understanding of this. The truth of your world is that you are all blind, with only a few of you possessing the eyes to see".
"To see what?"
"That your world is connected to others, but let's not go down that rabbit hole. Just know that there are bad things out there, and because you can see them, they can see you. But not to worry, I'll show you the way and you will become powerful".
"Let's assume I believe you, why are you doing this? Why me?"
" You humans are all the same, something happens you try to find out why. If it's supernatural you act like it's not, you run from things that you cannot explain. Fear runs you all, and if that does not work then you get angry. You choose to look the other way and you invent words like good and evil to justify your actions".
"You keep saying humans, just what the hell are you?"
" That I can tell you, I'm a demon and your my new host".
Albert's heart began to pound, the sense of dread returning to him. His mind began to race as everything he knew about demons came back to him.
" Albert stop! this is not a movie, yes I am a demon and yes you are possessed. But while movies and books are creative, they are fucking wrong half the time. At this point you believe that I am evil and trying to take over your body".
"Are you?"
" Let's not get off topic, the important thing is you need to survive. They will come after you, and you need to be ready".
"Who's they?"
Albert and his demon continued to talk for the next few hours, this new relationship was going to take some time to get used to. The sun set on that day as Albert laid down in his bed and went over all that happened. It was a crazy day to say the least, but for him it was not over.
Astral plain
"(cough) (cough) Damn it, why does it hurt coming here?"
" Well you are ripping your soul out of your body, but this is good I was wondering when you would be able to come here. It must but that witch blood in you, things might come to you faster than others".
" Right is there any way you can just leave me alone, I still don't trust you and don't want to understand you".
"Awe come on Albert if you say things like that it will hurt my feelings, besides, you need me".
Albert did not respond he looked around trying to get a feel for what was going on, he still didn't fully understand what was happening. It felt like a really bad dream, it didn't matter though, he needed to take control. Movie, anime or manga it didn't matter, he was not going to lose his body. It was funny he walked around his neighborhood, looking around he asked himself
"I wonder how much this is a dream and how much is this my own memory filling in the blanks?" he said as he walked into the park in front his old elementary school
" This school holds good and bad memories for you, you were dragged here in third grade were you not?"
" You again, seriously why do you keep going into my mind, hell how do I kick you out?"
" It's not that easy, you see you can't just say magical words and I leave. There's a lot for you to learn".
"Pass"
" What do you mean pass?"
" You may be here, and you may be stuck, but I will not do things your way. This is my life and I have enough problems".
" Ah High school does not matter when in time it is, you humans put too much importance in these silly things. I tell you what, I'm not going anywhere so enjoy your new gifts. In time you will accept our new role, you will come to me for training".
Albert just looked up into the stars, he didn't really care for his roommates words. He just wanted his life normal, taking a deep breath he began to make his way home.
The next day High school
It was lunch time as the bell rang and Albert began to walk around, he was having rather rough day. He was in the middle of the hall when he felt the cold sensation, he looked around as he made his way through the halls (went to a public high school, three stories, football field, tennis court, JROTC building and welding shop). Making his way to near the library, his heart began to pound faster.
" Well look at you, sensing trouble and running towards it".
" What am I supposed to do?" Albert said as he began to concentrate
" I see, your one of those humans what did they call it. Ah yes you have a hero complex, let me ask you why do you do it?"
" I Don't have a hero complex, but if there is something bad I have to do something about it".
" Why do you have to do anything? Again, to be human, you have ideals and made up words".
" All words are made up, now shut up let's see what's going on".
Library
Albert walked around the library, the people there were all either playing Halo or on Facebook. He walked to the other side as he rounded the corner, he could feel himself tightening up. There it was in the corner of the library; this creature was just hovering over these students as they read.
" Tell me what do you plan on doing now?"
" Not sure, but what is it doing to them?"
" Don't know, why don't you just walk over there and ask".
"You mean I can talk to that thing?"
" Ummm yeah, let's go with that".
Albert slowly walked towards the creature, to him it just looked like a dam shadow. He focused his eyes on it, for the most part it was just floating there. Just staring at it for a minute, he saw small blue lines going into the creature.
"Is it eating their soul?"
" Wow that's a leap and no it's not eating their soul. Your eyes aren't that good yet, what you see as blue light could be anything from soul to pure energy. You see one thing you humans are good for is being living batteries, filled with different kinds of energies".
" Thanks for the info, but now I'm going to go kick it's ass".
To the surprise of his roommate, Albert jumped up grabbing the creature and sent him flying crashing into the wall. He quickly ran towards it ready to punch it's lights out, when he felt a sharp sensation over his chest.
"AH! Dam it that hurts". he said as he dodges the next attack
" What ... it hurt... no really... what the hell did you think was going to happen".
Albert kept dodging for his life as he looked down, his chest looking like it was cracked no blood coming out. He mange to catch one of the creature's claws, trying to wrestle it to the ground only to get sent flying. Crashing into a wall he felt like his ribs where broken, looking up he saw the creature circling him like a vulture.
" Did you really think it was going to be that easy? That mister just learns how to walk in astral form, just walk up to monster and beat them. Stop thinking you're in an anime, you can't even manifest your power the right way".
" What... are you... talking about and how did I just crash into a wall?" he said as he picked himself up the floor.
"You poor child, let me show you the real way".
"AHHHHHHHH!"
Albert fell to his knees clutching his chest, a red aura beginning to pour out of his wound's. His body felt like it was on fire, when the pain past he stood up straight taking a look at himself. The blue transparent form now surrounded by a red cloak, his eyes now also having a red tint. That's not all that changed the creature went from a shadow monster, to something that resemble the creeper from Jeepers Creepers.
" There you go, this should be about your limit at the time".
" What is this, and why is that thing even more clear now?"
" HMMMMMM allow me to put this in a way you understand, you just activated kaioken".
" I don't understand but it's fine, all I want is to kill that thing".
The creeper flew down trying to claw at him, but he was too slow, quickly maneuvering behind it grabbing it from the wings and pinning it down. A dark look came over his face, then he began to tear the wings off the monster. It's screams of agony echo the halls (not that anyone could hear it) tossing them to the side when he was done. He spent the next several minutes slowly dissecting the monster, from his legs to his ribs and whatever else he could get his hands on. Albert just stood there as the creature began to disappear, as he stared into it's eyes a small feeling of guilt came over him.
" Why did I do that, I could have ended it fast but why?"
" You did good Albert, but it's time for you to go back to your body".
Albert did not argue he felt weak and fragile, making his way to the body. The red aura having faded away, looking at himself he realizes that his body was breathing slowly. This experience taught him a lot, but the most important was he had a lot to learn. Having merged back with his body, Albert notice he felt tired. He notices the time and began to walk back to class, thinking of the events that just happen he needed answers. He made his way into class, having been early he sat alone.
"(Alright you demon bastard, tell me what the hell just happen)".
"(What's this? You are choosing to talk to me?)" getting tired of just a voice, Albert Imagine a body for it.
"(There I can see you now, kind of why is your body still in shadows?)"
"(You can't look at a lower level monster, you have no chance at something like me)".
"(Why do I have a feeling that you won't just give me answers)".
"(Yes, I suppose your right, giving you the answer would be to damn easy, you need to work for them. But allow me to give this advice, you're not going to get anywhere if you keep pushing me away. The truth is you need me, you need to stop restraining yourself. Accept the fact that you are becoming a demon, and that you are no longer going to be full human)".
"(So am I supposed to take everything you say at face value, why should I trust you?)"
"(It really doesn't matter, with your hero complex and the things that are out there. Eventually you will accept me, and we will become powerful)".
Albert did not respond as he just let out a sigh, he looked out the window as the rain began to fall. He just wanted peace, but it seems it was going to be awhile before he gets there. This world is full of monster's demons and other things, and our story is just getting started
