Chapter 3
Inside Marco's head
Marco was standing infront of a being who looked like a skeleton with a dark red robe and a black headdress made of golden feathers. 'Hello Marco I'm Dave Lucitor pleasure to meet you.' His voice methodical, deep, and unsettling.
'Hello, uh where are we?' Marco asked feeling uneasy. 'Why inside your head my boy. I'm Tom's father and I'm here to reclaim my throne.' Dave answered.
'Marco my boy I see you hide another demon in here.' Said Dave looking in the darkness. 'What do you... oh no not him.' Marco stopped after hearing a familiar voice and sounds of ooze falling.
'My lord!' yelled the tentacle monster. 'Ah yes i now know a way to make us even stronger.' said the demon king. 'Welcome my lord, welcome.' said the repulsive tentacle monster, 'Marco!' yelled the monster hitting him in the stomach, 'Show respect to our dark lord.'
'That's enough Cthulhu.' Dave ordered, 'this is still his body it does not belong to me.' 'But my lord' Dave raised his hand silencing the monster.
'Thank you for being so cool about all of this mister demon king. I was under the impression that you where like your son. Pure evil and who loves manipulation.' Marco said lowering his guard seeing how he could trust this demon king.
'Oh no my boy I want my throne back but this is not the way to do it. I need your help.' The king said as flesh began to form around his bones. 'But for a human you seem unfaced by having a demon king soul intertwined with yours.'
'I've been through a lot for a human.' Marco showed him the scares from all the fights his been in. 'Truly impressive young man. Most humans I met before always died of heart attacks the moment they saw me.' The now fleshy demon king chuckled lightly.
'Well with a face like that I would die to.' Marco toyed. The demon king chuckled, 'Ah it feels good to laugh again thank you my boy. Now if you please let me adjust to this state if you don't mind Marco I will set you back in control please don't let this bother you.'
'What about outside? All the fire death and the little girl.' Marco asked remembering the horrifying sight that waited outside. 'Oh that was just your mind playing tricks on you my dear boy. Take control and see the outside world you have nothing to fear.'
Outside Marco's head
Marco opened his eyes seeing his still in the underworld but bodies and the little girl he once held on to was never their everything was as it was before. Still on fire but their was no village burned to the ground just an impact crater where he landed and that's it.
He sighed, relived that he never killed anything or anyone the image was so vivid and clear it felt so real, but Dave said it was never real and his the opposite of what Tom is. Marco heard the demon kings voice, 'See my son it never happened it was all just an image played by your mind due to your suppressed feelings about someone special dying.'
"Yeah your right your majesty it never happened." Marco sighed as he began pace back and forth thinking of how he could possibly save Star. 'My son let me help you save the one you love and in return you help me reclaim my lost throne I wish to rule again.'
"Of course your majesty, you are my only hope of saving Star from Tom I need your power." Marco pleaded, 'Of course lets be off I know this place like the back of my hand let us be off.'
Marco listened to the kings voice as he guided him away from the real crash site where the little girl laid in her little sisters ashes.
