Alex ran through the city, moving through alleys hoping to avoid contact with other demons. Jake's armory was nor much further ahead. The thought of pretending to be Jake's slave terrified him, though he knew he had no chance.

After running for a while, he stopped next to a trash can. Alex thought about how innocent he was before becoming a demon. A boy, in his early years of college, studying humanology, attending meetings about gay rights. And now, he has killed and is ready to kill with no second thoughts. To survive, to get revenge. Although his mind was his own again, he had truly become a demon.

After a while, he was there. The armory. Once inside, he approached Jake's trusted servant, Agnus. A strong demon, he is in charge of the treasury.

"There is no telling what weapons there are here", Alex thought to himself. He got through the entrance easily, as even though he served Jake for a short while, he is quite a strong demon and Jake managed to get everyone to know him. As he aid himself, Alex was destined to become his right hand man.

"Agnus", Alex called out as he came inside. "I need to talk to you".

Startled, an older man stood up from his desk, where he examined a relic.

"Whatttttttt is itttttt, I have bbbbbbbbb... business to attend to. Therrrrrrrrrr... has bbbbbb... been an atttt... attack in rrrrrrr... Raptor News", the man replied as he fixed his glass.

"Jake is behind it. He has betrayed Lord Mundus. Bob Barbas is helping him", Jake said.

Agnus hopped up from his chair and walked towards the boy.

"Sssssss... start talking", the old man commanded.

"How could he be saying these things to me?", Agnus wondered. "Isn't he Jake's slave? Even if Jake did betray Mundus, wouldn't this one stick by his master's side?"

His thoughts were interrupted by rapid gunshots in his stomach. Alex picked up Ivory and slammed the Agnus in the head. Agnus fell on the ground, hitting his head on the floor, while blood came out of his mouth.

"Not so strong in your human form", Alex stated as he picked up Ivory again, shooting Agnus in the eye. The demon's body twitched once, then stopped moving altogether.

Alex immediately picked up a bag and tried to fit in whatever he could. The vault had many weapons, and Alex had one thought. The better looking a weapon is, the most powerful it should be.

Kat was alone with Dante in the room. The young nephilim's eyes started healing, and he started regaining consiousness. Although, there was no telling what demons plagued his thoughts still.

Kat reached out to him and offered some water. Dante took it reluctantly and drank it quickly, half of it dripping down his neck.

"Please, some more", Dante asked.

"Of course", Kat replied as she reached for Dante's glass. The young nephilim grabbed her wrist in a quick move, twisted it behind her back and pinned her on the ground. With his other hard, he took his gun, Ebony, and held it over her head.

"Where is the fucking demon?", Dante asked.

Kat groaned in pain, as her hand was ready to break.

"Please just let me explain", she begged.

"Where is he?", Dante shouted as he put more strength into holding her.

"He has gone to steal guns from Mundus", Kat cried. "Please, let me explain", she begged again.

"I am done with explanations", Dante said in a low deep voice. "He will suffer for what he did to me. I promise you that".

"He was controlled by Jake", Kat explained, raising her voice. "He was tortured too". She cried. Dante still had his gun behind her head. "please, don't do something now that you will regret later"

Dante breathed deeply in his confusion. "Shut up, shut the hell up", he commanded. "One more word and you are dead. Only reason you are still alive is because I want to do it in front of him".

For once, Alex had good news. He, Kat, and even Dante if he wished, would go into hiding, and either live peacefully or make a plan to kill Jake. He knocked on the door twice and opened it, when Kat screamed at him to run. Then, a bullet passed through his shoulder, and then another one through his leg. The young demon fell on the ground, the bag with the weapons falling next to him.

In a dash, Dante leapt by him, and kicked him in the face. After taking back Ivory, the nephilim choked the young demon into unconsiousness.

A bucket of water woke Alex up. He was tied up on a pole, right across Kat. Dante, now wielding Ebony and Ivory, was standing above them.

"Before you die", the nephilim began, "you will tell me where Jake is".

"I will do that", Alex complied. "But can I say some things first?", he asked.

Dante loaded Ebony and raised it in front of his face. Kat let out a cry at the sight but didn't speak.

"Say what? That you are good? That it was Jake and not you? Don't bother, your sister told me. I don't buy it, nor do I care", Dante countered.

"I.. I know what you went through", Alex started. But he was interrupted by a kick in the face.

"You have no idea what I went through", Dante shouted. "You did this to me too", he lashed out as he repeatedly hit the young demon.

After coughing some blood, Alex turned to Dante again. "I deserved that. I get it. There will never be a time when I will make it up to you for what I did. I get it. So, kill me. Please, kill me. But not my sister"

"Shut up", Dante interrupted as he pushed the gun into Alex's forehead.

"Pull the trigger", Alex said in a calm voice. "If this will give you satisfaction, if this will give me pleace after the hell I went through, please do it. But don't hurt my sister".

Like some invisible force was keeping him, Dante didn't pull the trigger.

"AAAAAAAAhhhhhh", he let out and tossed the gun on the side. He then fell down and started bashing his head on the floor. After getting his forehead bloody, he raised his head again.

"Kill me", he cried. "I will let you both die, but just please kill me", he repeated in a low cry.

Alex started crying at the sight of the broken nephilim. Guilt built up inside of him, as he found himself also responsible for what happened to him.

"I swear to you", Alex started. "I will give my life in order to kill Jake. And then every last demon who walks the earth".

"Why?", Dante asked with newfound voice. "Why do you hate him so much?", he asked.

"He controlled me", Alex said in a low voice as tears formed in his eyes. "While my body obeyed him, while I did even the most horrible thing he asked me of, I was still awake in there, feeling everything, doing everything. I had no choice, but I am still a monster. In the nights, he took me in his bedroom. He would rape me for hours. He enjoyed it. I had no choice but to show that I liked it. But I hated every second of it. I felt, every second of it. Nothing sickens me more though, than what I did to you. For that I will never forgive myself".

Tears formed in Dante's eyes too. A flashback of when Jake first imprisoned him came to mind, where he explained that mortals that had sex with Jake would succumb to him and become his slaves. Or was it another trick? Was this just a ploy from Jake to manipulate Dante?

"Then how... how did you break free of his control?", Dante asked in a strict voice, still not buying the whole thing.

"I did that", Kat interrupted. "Nephilims are immune to Jake's influence. So I injected Alex with nephilim blood. When his mind was his own again, he took you out of there", she added.

"So I am supposed to thank him?", Dante said sarcastically.

"No, but if you try to put your personal experience aside, you will know we speak the truth. And Jake will have two more enemies to worry about if you don't kill us".

"Where did you find nephilim blood?", Dante asked again. "You couldn't have broken into Jake's fortress".

"I was planning to tell this later, to not confuse you", Kat said carefully. "I am part of the Order. Actually, what is left of the Order. Your brother founded it Dante. He was a nephilim, and our leader. His blood saved my brother".

Dante's hands, still holding onto his guns and aiming at Alex, started shaking. He remembered his brother. Although the wall in his head had blocked these memories, Jake's torture had made him remember everything.

"My brother?", Dante said in awe.

"Yes. I'm sorry Dante. I'm so sorry".

Dante lowered his guns, and touched his fists on the floor.

"I swear to you, I fucking swear to you. If even one tiny detail doesn't add up, I will tear you apart limb by limb until there is nothing left".

"I swear to you, this is the truth", Kat replied in a scared voice.

Dante stood up. "You live, for now", he said in a profound calm voice, as if the trauma had left. "But I don't trust you yet. You remain tied up until I return. I will find out if you are lying or not", he warned. He then moved to the bag that Alex carried with him.

"The rebellion", Dante said surprised. "Where did you find these?", he asked.

"In Mundus' vault", Alex replied. "Some of these he took from you. They were kept in the high security vault".

Dante took a couple weapons and opened the door, then shut it close behind him.

In the deepest and most ill-famed part of the city, Dante knew exactly what he was looking for. Information. It was here he saw Jake's men, and after spending so much time with them, he would recognize a demon from miles away. Although a place with many dangers, it kind of broke Dante some tranquility. Broken men like himself sought comfort and escape there. From drugs to prostitution, broken people would offer what they had for some minutes away from the ills of the world.

"Would you like some company handsome?", a woman suddenly asked Dante.

Dante grabbed her by the throat, and brought his face close to hers. "Sure", he said and pushed her back to the tent she came out of.

"Easy boy", the woman said as Dante pushed her on a mattress. Dante climbed on top of her, and took down his jeans. The woman grabbe Dante's cock and started stroking it. Dante put his hand inside the woman's trousers and put a finger inside her pussy. A couple minutes later, Dante's cock was still not erect.

"Something the matter, boy?", the woman asked. "Why don't you just relax?"

"Because you are fucking ugly", Dante insulted and stood up.

"Hey, I still need my money", the woman said as Dante turned around to leave. Dante then took out Ebony and pointed it to her. The woman froze.

"Now, like a good girl, you will let me go and tell me where I can find some nice dick, ok?", Dante asked.

The woman nodded. "There are some boys a couple tents below", she replied. Dante put Ebony away and exited the tent, taking a look at some men standing outside a tent.
