Chapter 28: Assol's Final Plan

Well, I have decided to change to posting on Sundays, it's just easier. I dunno, hope you enjoy the ending chapters of this arc! It's been running for what, 8 chapters? (I don;t even remember)

-Yuuki Residence, 7:00 a.m.-

Kyouko walks downstairs in a nightgown, yawning. A maid walks up to her with a tray, teapot, and cup.

"Good morning, ma'am, would you care for some tea?"

"Yes, thank you." The maid pours the cup before packing up her equipment to leave. Kyouko walks into the family room and finds Shouzou, staring at the news. A reporter was speaking about an event that had happened.

"Good morning, citizens of Japan. We have received reports of a monstrous beast actually attacking Tokyo, destroying buildings and attacking other creatures that were terrorizing citizens, as well as attacking these citizens as well. Three police officers were severely injured by the beast, which represented a large human with two extra large hands attached to his body."

"When police chased the beast down, they found two identical boys that looked extremely similar to the beast, almost completely unconscious except for some strange mumbling of an unknown language. We have been supplied with pictures of the boys, and will put them up now. Please tell us any information you know."

Shouzou turns to his wife, a look of fear on his face. Kyouko's eyes were filled with fury as she stared at the pictures of Xertic and Gamelus.

"I knew it… I always knew that there was something wrong with that boy…" Asuna walks down the stairs.

"Good morning Mum, Dad, has Xertic come around ye-" her voice stops when she sees the television.

"WHAT IS THIS?!" Kyouko screams at her daughter. "You have been alone with that monster all of this time?! He could have killed you like he killed those people!" Asuna tries to form a reasonable sentence.

"I… I can explain mom.. Xertic is…" A knock on the door interrupted the awkward moment. Shouzou gets up and opens it. Xertic stands in the doorway, looking behind him.

"What are you doing here?" Shouzou asks quickly. Xertic growls.

"You saw the news. Everything is chaotic. I need to speak with Asu- oh crap." Kyouko pushes past Shouzou and shoves Xertic backwards, making him stumble.

"Get out of our house, our property, my daughter's life… Get out of this entire country, I don't care. I don't want to see you again!" She screams in his face.

"If you let me speak maybe you can change your opinion!" He yells back, standing his ground. He tears off his right glove, right as Asuna rights outside, tears in her eyes.

"Xertic, stop, don't do this!" He glares at her.

"Why are you trying to defend me? You saw what I did." He holds up right hand. "You read the Bible, correct Mrs. Yuuki? Then you must know what a demon is. I'm one, Gamelus is one, Drake is one, my whole goddamn family is one!" He breathes hard, Kyouko forming a look of shock. She turns to her daughter.

"How could you… How can you stand…" Asuna clenches her fist.

"Because he would never hurt me!" Tears roll down her face and she buries it into Xertic's chest. He wraps his arms around her.

"I was scared to tell Asuna. I waited until she knew me well enough, and told her the truth. The first human to ever accept me…" He then glares at Kyouko. "I would never do anything like what you saw on TV. The creature? That was my brother and I combined into one form, Gamex. But we don't want to become him. I was in bed one night and woke up in a crater, tired and weak."

Asuna looks up from him, not letting go of Xertic. "I control them, mum. Xertic, Gamelus, they listen to me, my command, they wouldn't hurt anyone unless I gave them permission… He's not as bad as he sounds. You have to understand what he's been through." Kyouko scoffs.

"What he's been through? My daughter is dating a demon! A DEMON! How can I possibly understand this?!" Before Xertic could answer, a police car pulls up into the driveway. One got out with his gun pulled out, and the other dragged a bound Gamelus behind him.

"Sorry brother, they got me. I assume Kyouko knows." He says in daemon. Xertic nods.

"Xertic Ravenclaw, you're under arrest for murder, assault, and illegally living on unclaimed property." The handcuff Xertic and he turns to Asuna.

"Asuna, please, I would never kill them, you know that. I'm drugged, remember? The dart is a control tranquilizer. Please, believe us, believe me!" Asuna puts her hands up to her mouth, nodding, tears streaming down her cheek as her boyfriend and his brother are pushed into the car and driven away. Shouzou sighs and walks inside. Kyouko looks at Asuna with disapproval.

"Get your things, i'm taking you to classes. We will talk in the car." Asuna grunts and walks inside.

-Police Station, noon-

Gamelus lashes out at the scientist, sinking his teeth into his hand.

"Ow! You little brat!" He smacks the boy across the face.

"I could say the same to you, scum," Gamelus spits back angrily. The two brothers were strapped to two tables, where a doctor was ordered to experiment on them. Xertic remained silent the entire time, not speaking a word, and more importantly, worrying Gamelus. After the doctor left to bandage his hand, Gamelus speaks up.

"Brother, doesn't this remind you of when Lucifer tried to interrogate us on the position of the dagger? God, you got him so riled up…" Xertic couldn't help but smile.

"One of our finest moments, he was practically at our knees. We also had no cares, no worries… But now I do…" Gamelus suddenly frowns.

"Xertic, I'm going to give this to you straight: if Asuna doesn't accept you after this, leave her." Xertic snaps his head towards Gamelus.

"If you weren't family and I wasn't chained, I'd break your spine." Gamelus looks up towards the ceiling.

"I'm not trying to offend you. But you're supposed to be the tough one. I'm supposed to be the one who's doubtful, worried, but this isn't right. You're obsessing over something that may not happen. Asuna is not going to betray you, so don't betray me," he says, not knowing where this was coming from, but it felt right.

Xertic stares at a light above him. "Gamelus… You're absolutely right. Thank you. I'm Xertic Motherfing Ravenclaw, I broke out of the prison of the Underworld four times, twice in maximum security. My actions have been stupid, and it's time we busted out of here, the Twin Terror's way." He smiles evilly, looking to his right at Gamelus, who smiles back.

"There he is. So, what do we do?" Xertic looks around the room, dozens of plans forming in his head.

"Alright, from what I can sense, the doctor will be here in a minimum of twelve minutes, max of 15. This room is right next to a wall that leads to outside, so if we blow a hole through that wall without setting off an alarm, we will be safe." Gamelus nods and the two boys begin to channel the heat in their bodies to their skin, the chains slowly melting. 5 minutes go by before they sit up.

"God, it feels good to be able to move." Gamelus puts a hand on Xertic's shoulder. "Sorry I yelled at you like that, but you were acting like… A human." Xertic nods his head once.

"No, you were right. But I am still going to find Asuna and try and explain this whole situation." The two boys run to different parts of the room, searching for supplies. Finally, the two construct a makeshift bomb out of a box of confiscated supplies.

"Wow, I can't believe the had this stuff," Gamelus says, staring at the bomb. Xertic looks at the door and smiles.

"Here comes the doctor, it's now or never." he presses the button on the bomb and the boys step back. As the doctor walks in, asking what was going on, the bomb explodes. The two boys jump out of the cloud of smoke, smirking. The two roll, breaking their fall on the ground, and stand up, their clothes blowing from the explosion. "Cool guys don;t look at explosions."

Gamelus looks behind him. "Then why aren't you looking back with me, brother?" Before Xertic could retort, the sound of police cars fills their ears. The cars surround the two, officers holding the demons at gunpoint.

"Keep your hands in the air! You are under arrest... again." Xertic growls at the officers.

"We escaped, just leave us be, and no one has to get hurt."

"Oh, I'm afraid it's two late for that." The two look to their left, along with the officers, at Assol, who was smiling. he snaps his fingers and a muscular man, most likely a demon, comes up with a human in his hands. "We found her trying to get out of school." The man throws Asuna to the ground. She groans in pain, trying to stand up, before Assol smacks her across the face. Xertic clenches his teeth.

"If you don;t stop right now, you will never see this realm again." he says angrily. Assol looks up at him, an eyebrow raised.

"You know what? I'm done with you, and this world. So i'm going to make this simple." he grabs Asuna by the neck and brings her up to her knees, pressing a pistol to her temple. "Give me the dagger Xertic."

Here we are, at the end, hope you enjoyed, good night! And hope you Halloween was spooptacular, mine was pretty spoopy.
