Supernatural Furries

Chapter 28: Good God, Y'All

Krystal's cell phone rang. She picked it up. "Sonic? I haven't heard from you in a while. What? Oh. We'll be right there." She hung up. "Sonic is in Heighton View Terrace Gate. Half of the people there have been possessed by demons, including Tails."

"WHAT?" said Renamon and Fox at the same time.

"Yes," said Krystal. "We have to go and stop them." She called Castiel and told him where they were. Seconds later Castiel appeared.

"There are two ways we can kill the devil," said Castiel. "One is to get the Colt. But I was cut off from heaven so I only have a few of my powers left, and I don't know where it is. The other way is to find the only one besides Michael powerful enough to kill him."

"Who's that?" said Renamon.

"The one who put you on the plane and brought me back to life," said Castiel. "God."

"Isn't he being used as the clawed glove of a dream demon?" said Renamon.

"Freddy Krueger made that up," said Castiel.

"He's on a tortilla in Mexico," said Fox.

"He's not on any flatbread," said Castiel.

Krystal, Renamon, and Fox made their way to Heighton View Terrace Gate. There, they saw two demons. Krystal slit both their throats with the demon-killing knife. They fell to the ground dead. Krystal didn't notice the absence of yellow light. All she noticed was the blood. Since killing Lilith, the effects of the demon blood had worn off, but she wanted more.

"Fox! Krystal! Renamon!" Sonic ran up to them. "Thank goodness you're here! It's anarchy in this town! Half of the people are possessed by demons! We've gotta exorcise the demon out of Tails!"

Suddenly an army of demons came marching up to them. Leading them was Tails. "We're gonna kill all you demons!"

"Is this a joke?" said Sonic. "You're the demons!" He read an exorcism spell. "Why isn't it working?"

"I know why," said Castiel. "None of you are demons. Their eyes only look black. Sonic. Your half sees the other half as demons. Tails, your half sees the other half as demons. It's an illusion created by War, the first of the Four Horsemen. We must find him and defeat him."

They began searching and soon Renamon ran into him. He was next to a red Mustang.

"I killed Roger," said War.

"But… it was a shapeshifter!" said Renamon.

"I made the shapeshifter think Roger was you," said War.

"You killed a defenseless egg salesman?" said Renamon, and she pinned War to his car and held a gun to his throat.

"Ha ha ha ha ha! You can't kill War!" said the horseman.

"I know," said Renamon. She raised the demon-killing knife, which Krystal gave to her before the search, but he kicked her off him and she went flying into a tree.

Krystal ran out with a sword, but War punched her in the face and knocked her down. She grabbed the sword, but War stepped on it, breaking it. War reached for Krystal with his ring hand, and Krystal swung the sword and cut his fingers off, including a finger with a gold ring. War and his mustang vanished into thin air.

A few days later, in Vermillion, Krystal and Renamon began hearing reports of people eating each other, and stuffing themselves full so that their stomachs burst, killing them.

"Famine," said Castiel. "He's in town and he's making people hungry, mostly for food but also for love and alcohol. Two people shot themselves because no one would let them be together."

Count Bleck and Lady Timpani lay dead, both with bullet wounds in their heads.

Castiel began stuffing his face with burgers, while Krystal suddenly became thirsty for demon blood. She ran off unnoticed by Renamon, who came face to face with Famine in a diner. Famine was an emaciated old man in a wheelchair.

"Hungry," said Famine. "Need souls to feed off of."

"How come I haven't been affected?" said Renamon.

"The ring…" said Famine.

Renamon was wearing War's gold ring after Krystal had cut it off.

"So it makes me immune to the other Horsemen's powers?" said Renamon.

Meanwhile, Krystal ran after two demons. She chased them into a house where they suddenly became trapped – Krystal had set a Devil's Trap for them.

"No, no!" said the demon, but Krystal slit both their throats with the demon-killing knife. As the blood poured from the demons' throats, Krystal began drinking it.

Renamon ran at Famine, but two demons held her back.

Castiel entered, but Famine turned the black ring on his hand and a tray of raw meat appeared. Castiel began eating it. Then, Krystal walked into the room. She raised her arm and removed the demons from their hosts, but neither sent them to hell nor destroyed them.

"Fine then, I'll eat them myself," said Famine, and he sucked the demons into his mouth.

"HE ATE DEMONS!" said Renamon.

"Now my power will be restored!" said Famine.

"Not quite," said Krystal. She raised her arm again.

"You can't destroy me that way," said Famine. "I'm a horseman, not a demon."

"I know," said Krystal, and she destroyed the demons inside Famine. He vanished along with his wheelchair, leaving only his ring.

Castiel, Krystal, and Renamon stood in a warehouse.

"He'll be here any second," said Castiel.

A man walked into the room.

"Hello Raphael," said Castiel. He threw a lighter onto a ring of holy oil.

"Angels cannot cross a ring of holy oil on fire," said Castiel. "If they try it, it will kill them. Raphael, I demand answers. After you killed me, God brought me back to life. Where is he?"

"Dead," said Raphael. "He was killed in the Vietnam War."

"I don't believe you," said Castiel. "How did he bring me back then?"

"Maybe Lucifer brought you back," said Raphael. "You rebelled, just like he did."

"I rebelled against the other angels because I want to kill Lucifer, stop the apocalypse and defend the humans," said Castiel.

"Even so, he'll want you on his side," said Raphael.

"He won't have me," said Castiel, and he walked away with Krystal and Renamon. Castiel locked the doors of the warehouse.

At nighttime, Krystal woke up to see Lucario.

"Lucario!" said Krystal. "Did Castiel bring you back?"

"He no longer has that kind of power," said Lucario. "But I do." His form changed to a human form with dark spiky hair. "Hello Krystal," he said.

"Lucifer!" said Krystal.

"Yes," said Lucifer. "I really need you to say yes to me. I want to bring about the Apocalypse and I need your help. This vessel is only temporary. It can't contain me forever. It will eventually rot away. Just listen for a sec. God created angels. Then he created humans, and commanded that we bow before them. I refused, and so he locked me away in a cage. I was in the Shadow Realm, the deepest and worst area of hell, for thousands of years. Hourglasses full of bugs, and all that."

"I am not saying yes to you," said Krystal.

"You will," said Lucifer. "And it will be in Detroit." And he vanished.
