Chapter 29: Gamex's Master
Well, for starters, reason I'm late is because FALLOUT FOUR CONFIRMED! OH BABY THIS GAME IS SO AMAZING! THE MUSIC, THE GRAPHICS, THE CHARACTERS, THE LEGENDARY CREATURES, THE POWER ARMOR! I LOVE THAT PIECE OF BADASSERY! Ok Absol, calm yourself. is that a good excuse? It better be, I'm counting it. Second, I don't know why, but I really didn't like this chapter when I first started, so that's also why I'm late. I basically deleted it and started from scratch. It feels a lot better now, though. So, I hope you enjoy.
Assol shakes his head, chuckling.
"I will admit, some of my plans have had downfalls. But this one… Well it's quite straightforward." Asuna kicks the other demon the the shin as hard as she can and runs towards Xertic.
"Not so fast." A black hand catches her in the stomach and retracts to its owner. A captain from the police force steps forward.
"Prisoner number 3042, Sugou Nobuyuki, let go of the girl." Sugou winks at Asuna's terrified face.
"No thanks, I would prefer to hold on to her for a little bit." He turns to Xertic. "Long time no see, Ravenclaw," he says in perfect Daemon. Xertic backs up a step.
"How did you learn that in jail?" He asks in the same language. Assol clears his throat, helping the other demon up.
"How do you think I managed to get you and Gamelus together? Sugou prayed for our help, and Satan answered his call." Sugou puts a finger on Asuna's chin.
"Now I am one of them. You should be happy, you seem to be interested in demonic men." He shoves her to the ground and appears next to Assol. Xertic quickly kneels next to Asuna.
"What happened? Why did Assol hurt you?" He asks frantically, trying to get her wounds healed.
"I… Had to see you…" She holds the back of her head, where Xertic puts his hand under. He glares back up, Gamelus now on his feet.
"So, Sugou, I think I want to end this. The dagger, have him give it to us." Sugou smiles deviously, his teeth now jagged, and pulls out a remote.
"Do you remember how this works, Gamelus? I push this and your mind is under my control. Didn't I do the same with you back in Alfheim?" He presses a button and Xertic falls to the ground, crying out in pain. Gamelus snaps his head to the left.
"They're controlling you…" Xertic's hand slowly opens a portal and pulls out Satan's Dagger.
"Asuna, grab it!" Asuna snatches it from his hands and gets up, clutching it close. Xertic looks to her, eyes burning with rage. "Run… Now…" Asuna turns on her heel and bolts out. Sugou growls and presses the button again, making Xertic cry out in pain. He gets up and begins chasing Asuna. "Gamelus, get that remote!"
Assol draws a sword from his own portal and charges at Gamelus. He summons an emerald dagger and parries the slash, the two going fiercely bouncing off of each other.
"Stop messing with my brother's head!" Drake runs up to Asuna in his wolf form.
"Need a lift, my lady?" Asuna leaps onto the wolf's back and they speed off. Xertic claws at his back as his wings push him forward.
"I can't reach the wound… from the dart..." His back was a gross mixture of black and green, pain constantly surging from it. Asuna looks behind her at Xertic.
"Drake, stop and turn around. I need to get closer." Drake nods and turns around, dashing towards his master. Gamelus, on the other hand, was having fun. The police chose the right side and began to fore at Assol, his demon bodyguard, and Sugou. Reporters flocked the area, filming the fight. Assol lunges at Gamelus.
"You two are so stupid, always thinking you can do anything. Can you beat an entire army though?" Gamelus smirks.
"Well, we did it before you were born, so yeah, we kinda do." He slashes at Assol, creating a gash in his stomach. Asuna brings Drake up to Xertic, clutching the dagger.
"Xertic, I'm going to throw you the dagger. Will it kill you if you use that?" Xertic looks down at her, struggling against Sugou's control. His other hand was trying to reach for the blade, but he pulls it away.
"It shouldn't. Unless I'm not careful." Asuna toss the blade up and he catches it with his right hand, reaching across his shoulder and digging the blade in the dart wound. "Shit, this really hurts!"
"Try and calm down Xertic, fight him." The demon lands on the ground, trying to dig the dart out as his other hand wrestles with him. Asuna kneels next to him and pulls.
"Listen to me Xertic, don't worry. I don't blame you. It was horrific, and I am a little mad at you, but I still love you. Please, you need to fight that sorry excuse of a hu… Demon!" Xertic roars in pain as the dart tears out of his body. Sugou throws the remote down in anger.
"No, I will not be going back to prison!" He snaps at Assol angrily. "I'm getting out of here, you're on your own kid! Good luck with that father of yours." Assol glares at him.
"We had a deal!" Sugou opens a portal to Hell and steps through, closing it. Gamelus snaps his fingers and the bodyguard is chained to the ground. Asuna helps Xertic up, pecking his lips.
"Better?" Xertic nods.
"A lot, thank you." Assol slams his fist into the ground.
"No! I will not have my plan foiled again!" He aims his pistol at Asuna and fires three shots. Xertic steps in front of her and turns a little to his left, the bullets sinking into his arm and side. The sound of bone being crushed filled his ears, but he wasn't paying attention to the pain.
"Give it up, kid. You're time is up. Do you honestly think you can stand against my butler, brother, and me?" Assol laughs.
"Really? Xertic, do you honestly have the heart to kill me? I am your own brother after all." He fires a bullet at his forehead, which Drake catches in his hand, now in front of Xertic. The boy pushes past Drake, holding an emerald scythe in his unharmed hand.
"I would normally not have the heart to, about 5 years ago. But when I met my mistress, things changed," he lowers his eyebrows, tightening his grip on the emerald scythe. Gamelus appears in the blade of the scythe, scowling.
"If Xertic sees anyone hurt Asuna, even ME, he would kill them on the spot for her." Xertic smirks.
"We both worship this human girl, and no one can stop us from keeping her alive." Asuna couldn't stop blushing at their words, not truly knowing that both boys would kill each other for her safety, Xertic a little more than Gamelus.
"You know, you're quite pathetic for the most powerful beings on earth. I mean, protecting something as worthless as her? Succubuses could replace her any day." Assol taunts, loading another shot into his pistol.
"That's your opinion. However, the Twin Terrors do not take kindly to people who try and hurt their family. Ironic, huh?" He disappears for a split second before hitting Assol in the back of the head with the hilt of the scythe. Asuna closes her hand around the hilt of a rapier, Drake knowing what she wanted to do. She stands up and walks over to Assol.
"This is for my parents." She stabs Assol in the back, then pulls out. "That was for me." Xertic picks Assol up by the neck, his face bleeding.
"Are you done?" Assol spits at him.
"I'd rather die than face father with another defeat." Xertic thinks about it for a moment.
"Azazel, your thoughts?" Azazel climbs out of a portal that had opened in the ground.
"Send him back, brother. Fath- Lucifer can deal with him." Xertic nods once and looks back at Assol.
"Do you want to know what it felt like to be rejected? Join the club." He drops the scythe (Gamelus) on the ground and punches Assol in the nose. Xertic drops him into the portal Azazel came from. "Three strikes, and you're out." The scythe turns black and morphs back into Gamelus's form, Drake turning into his butler form. Xertic helps them both up, grunting in pain at the use of his arm.
Asuna looks towards the cameras on them, sighing. "Xertic… I don't think we're finished yet…" Before any of the people could react, a white ferret scurries out from the crowd up to Gamelus, who grits his teeth.
"Why is he here?" Xertic looks over at the ferret in slight terror.
"Dammit… I guess we angered Zeta."
"Not exactly angered." The five of them turn towards the deep voice to meet a man with blond hair, blue eyes, and a stern look on his fave.. He held a large sword that was plunged into the bodyguard. He wore white and red robes with black straps, and white boots that reached his knees. A gold cross hung from his neck, and his mouth was permanently frozen in an emotionless frown. "Alpha, yield." Asuna looks at Xertic.
"Who is that?" Drake sighs.
"Zeta, a direct child of God, A.K.A. Anti-Xertic/Gamelus, A.K.A. Gamex's master." Xertic and gamelus's shadow had already combine to Gamex's figure, who began bouncing excitedly.
Isn't it just SO CREATIVE naming them after A and Z in greek? Ha ha ha, I should leave this site forever. Bye bye, I'm off to fight some Feral Ghouls!
