Chapter 12: Escape
I know, I know, I am super deepest , I'm back! I have fibals beginning this week, which is just wonderful... (Love sarcasm) but I will try to get my regulat updates. Please enjoy the chapter, and I hope that Gamelus is likeable with you guys.
Lucifer sits in his throne with the other generals, watching Satan try his son. This was wrong, but Xertic does deserve the punishment. After all that he has done-
"Lucifer, pay attention," Satan snaps, Xertic snickering. "Now then, Xertic Ravenclaw. We had a deal. My dagger for your brother." Xertic nods.
"As you command, my liege," he says obediently, taking out the dagger. As soon as it enters the Demon King's hand, an alarm goes off. Lucifer stands up and leaps from his throne.
"What is this?" Xertic breaks out in laughter.
"I played my part. I should probably tell you
that I am a clone." Xertic disappears, along with the dagger. Satan gnashes his teeth and glares at Lucifer.
"Stop him!"
-Alfheim, Floor 66-
Asuna sighs and stares at thousesiling. Xertic told her the risks, but she let him go. Why didn't she beg for him to stay? He could be dead now. Yui sits next to her mother and smiles.
"It's okay, mommy. Daddy can navigate the jail blindfolded! Uncle will return to us." Asuna smiles and sits tu small girl on her lap.
"Yui-chan, you're adorable. I know that he'll be fine, I just worry." Yui nuzzles under her mother's chin.
"Daddy said that he would be here in an hour, and I believe him!" The girl announces. Asuna giggles and strokes Yui's hair.
"Okay, okay..." the two sit in silence, hoping for the demon to return with his twin.
-Underworld, the jail cells-
Xertic kills the last guard and unlocks the door to the cells just as the alarm blares in his ears. He snaps his head back to the sound of more guards coming.
"Shit, I gotta go," he curses in the demonic language. Xertic pushes through the door and runs past a lot of growling prisoners. They reached out and clawed at his jacket, begging for freedom. Xertic brushes them off.
"Sorry, friends, not this time." He finally reaches a black door and switches to the link between his mind and Gamelus's. "Brother, it's the black door right?"
"You made it past that swarm of guards? I'm impressed. Yes, it's the large black door. But be careful, si-" the link cuts out as Xertic closes the door. He looks around at the dim room, staring at the fire on the torches that lit the room. A small ball of yarn rolls in between in his legs. A huge explosion is created, knocking Xertic to the ground. As the smoke clears, he acknowledges the blades held against his throat. They were shaped like long claws, and the led to the hands of a girl, who looked about his age.
"Azazel, I see you have grown." Azazel smiles at her half-brother.
"That I have, Xertic," she giggles, pressing the blades deeper in his throat. He grabs her wrist, spins around, and grabs her throat. He pins her to a wall and smiles.
"So you are my last line of defense, it seems? While I know this will not work, you know that joining my side against father is ideal." Azazel rolls her eyes.
"Gamelus gave me the whole story already. For now, I cannot betray him at the moment. The Dark One pays be a wealthy sum, and I plan on collecting it. Maybe then, I will betray him," she replies before kicking Xertic in the stomach. He opens a portal and pulls out a black sword.
"The same weapon modeled after my sword in Sword Art Online. Though this blade can kill demons as well. Want to put it to the test, sis?" Azazel purrs excitedly.
"I've been dying to know." The two dash at each other and slash at each other. sparks fly in between the blades as the bounce off of each other. Xertic parries a blow towards his stomach and slices down on her Azael's arm. She hisses and manages to cut a gash on his shoulder. Xertic takes out a small smoke bomb and throws it down, creating a screen of black black fog. Azazel coughs and her eyes glow. She looks through the fog and sees Xertic running at her on her left. She spins around quickly and slices at the boy, but his form disappears. In her state of confusion, an elbow slams into the back of her head, knocking her down. A hand catches her by the neck and Xertic holds his sword to his sister's throat.
"Come on, do you really think that I forgot about the vision you feline demons have? I'm surprised you didn't see that clone coming," Xertic says, smiling coldly. Azazel sighs.
"Gamelus is in the second door. if you get out of here quickly, Satan will not catch you. I'll say that I tried to stop you, but couldn't make it." Xertic helps her to her feet, sheathing his sword.
"Come with me. It's not too late. You don't need the money."
"Im not turning you in, that's all you will get from me," Azazel purrs, putting a hand on his cheek, "Get going, Twin Terror." Xertic rolls his eyes and runs to through the door on the other sid eof the room. Azael turns and climbs up the wall, ready to tell Satan her news.
-Gamelus's Cell-
Gamelus sits on his stone cot, playing a harmonica. He stops playing and raises an eyebrow.
"Wait, where did I get this..."
"Gamelus!" He looks up at Xertic, standing on the other side of the bars.
"Brother! You made it! Did Azazel give you a hard time?" Xertic unlocks the door and steps in.
"She was one of our only siblings to give me a challenge." The two embrace and Gamelus turns his head towards the alarm.
"We need to get out of here, quickly. Any second the guards will be here. Drake is at the door?" Xertic nods.
"Yes, we should be able to leave. Come on," The brothers dash out of the cell and open a door. They run out to a main corridor as a mob of guards enter on their left. The two brothers nod at each other and run straight towards the door on the other side. As the mob closes in, Xertic grabs Gamelus's arm as his brother's form turns black. He morphs into a giant sword and Xertic swings him across the giant mob. All of the demonic guards are sliced in half, blood coating the ground. Xertic holds the giant sword at his side, black chains wrapped around the hilt.
"That's the power of the twin terrors, bitches." The sword morphs back into Gamelus's laughing form. The two high five and open the door. Drake was on the outside in his hellhound form.
"Young masters, we need to leave."
"Right, let's go." Xertic hops on the beast's back, Gamelus sitting behind him. Black chains appear in Xertic's hands like reigns. He snaps them and Drake dashes off towards a huge portal. Behind them, there was a huge roar. Gamelus looks back to see a giant, black, winged creature flying after them. It's red eyes flare at them with anger.
"Dad is coming. True form. Drake, can you go any faster?" The hellhound growls and increases it's speed. A demonic guard flying next to Lucifer shoots a rifle. A dart spirals towards the three and hit's Xertic in the shoulder. he grunts in pain and pulls the dart out, poison dripping from the tip. Drake leaps up, advancing towards the portal. The last thing that the two brothers heard was the furious cry that emitted from their father before they were whisked away to the human world.
-Xertic and Gamelus's House-
Xertic stretches his arms as his brother sits down on the couch.
"That was terrifying," Gamelus mumbles. Drake walks in in his butler form and hands Gamelus a cup of tea.
"it is all over now, young master. Rest." Xertic was about to say something when a loud knocking was heard from the door. Xertic opens it up to Kirito, who was breathing hard.
"Xertic... Asuna... she's... not..."
"Kirito, calm down. Speak slowly. What about Asuna?" Kirito looks up, gritting his teeth.
"Asuna is gone. Her parents are hurt, her house is ransacked, and she's not anywhere. We tried calling her, but her phone was left in her room. when her father regained consciousness, he said that...' He closes his eyes and Xertic grips his shoulder.
"Finish speaking. Where is Asuna?" Kirito closes his eyes.
"Sugou has her. Mr. Yuuki tried to fight him, but failed. Asuna can be anywhere with that guy..." Gamelus walks up to the door.
"Sugou? Sugou Nobuyuki?" Xertic looks back at his brother.
"That bastard has Asuna. You okay to fight?" Ganelus cracks his knuckles.
"I have a score to settle with that terrible excuse of a human. Let's go save Asuna." Kirito raises an eyebrow.
"Who are you ?" Xertic smiles.
"I'll explain on the way, Kazuto. Drake, come." The butler walks towards the three boys, and the four of them set out to Asuna's house.
That's that chapter. Will Xertic and Gamelus save Asuna? Will Kirito ever be a main character in any of my fanfictions? And will I ever stop talking like the announcer guy at the end of Pokémon episodes? I guess you will have to tune in next time to find out. XD sorry had to. Hope you like it, and review!
