Chapter 3: no exit, no chance, nothing.
I have been training with the Japanese Imperials, and they said that I was ready to try for my own cursed gear, the highest rank even: Black Demon. They brought me to an underground room, filled with giant heads above the cursed gear. I even saw 2 green gloves, which I wanted.
"okay Jason, pick your gear and the binding will begin." the lieutenant said. I put my hands in the gloves and fell on the ground.
I was at the party, back during the FFI. I was talking to Flare about my fire sword, when I heard Spirit scream. I ran outside with my sword drawn when someone kicked me against the wall.
"you are really stupid, but you are a dimensional traveler." Spirit said. She grabbed my sword, but before I could make it disappear, I was turned back into my human form and was stabbed in my shoulder.
"do you really think that'll hurt? I've had worse." I said. The demon, now showing to be a woman, with long dark red hair and wearing a purple robe, grabbed me by the throat as she pulled the sword out of my shoulder.
"no fighting back?!" she said. I shook my head.
"we're going to work together, so we better get along." I said, having trouble to breath. The demon punched me through the wall.
"you're weak. I can't even understand how you survived this long already."
"because I need to survive. For Spirit." I slowly got up. I used my speed to attack the demon, but the demon caught my fist.
"so you do fight for what you believe." she said as she squeezed my fist.
"I just want to get out, so stop being stupid and help me." I freed my hand and punched her in the face, causing her to fall.
"fine, let's work together. I have nothing to lose either way."
I was on the floor, with the gloves still on my hands.
"congrats, you were able to do it." a girl with greenish hair said. She had a crossbow on her back and was wearing a black skirt and black jacket, with a green (strik). Her eyes were a light blue.
"thanks, and you are?" I asked as I got up.
"oh, right, you can call me Elody, Elody Marn."
"Jason Yasich, but why are you here?"
"the lieutenant asked me to watch over you. Also, I'll be your teammate from now on." she said with a wink.
Later
I woke up in my bed. I can't quite remember what happened after I met Elody, only that we went back to the surface and an alarm went off.
"good morning. You've been out for almost a week now. We thought you were a goner." Elody said.
"a week, what happened?!" I asked.
"demons invaded our base, but we managed to scare them away."
"why don't I remember anything? Did something happen to me?"
"you were hit in the back of your head." Elody helped me get up, and I noticed a green hair on my arm. I shrugged it off as being a hair of Elody. We walked outside, towards the forest, and took a nice, long walk.
After the walk, we got armed up and went out patrolling, just the 2 of us.
"normally, we should be with 5 people, in case we spot a noble. But I trust in your strength." Elody said, her crossbow armed in her hands. After a while, Shinoa's group came to us.
"are you also patrolling?" Shinoa said. We nodded.
"it's safer to patrol together." Yu said. We walked around, looking for demons and vampires.
We walked around for a long time, but no luck finding anything. We were heading back home, when we saw a group of vampires. Yoishi and Elody shot their arrows towards them, but before they could hit, we were all confronted with nobles.
"did you really think you could defeat nobles?" a noble said. He had long, white hair, like most of them. I saw Elody getting attacked, so I ran towards her to help her.
"stay in formation! Moron." I heard Kimizuki say. I punched the noble who attacked Elody, and made him disappear. I turned around and saw that noble who talked just an inch in front of me. I could feel his blade against my stomach, pressing to go through my flesh, but I dodged. Instead, Elody got stabbed in her arm. I punched the noble, only to get thrown against Elody.
"are you okay, Jason?" she asked.
"yeah, you?"
"it hurts like hell, but I can still fight." I helped her up. I saw that the rest was already busy with a noble. The noble kicked me into a wall and grabbed me by my shoulder and struck me with his sword.
"no fight left in you already?" he said as his sword hit the wall through my body. I coughed up blood as I closed my eyes.
"didn't think so." he said. I balled my fist and hit him square in his jaw. He fell on his knees and grabbed his cheek. I slowly pulled his sword out of my stomach.
"I'm getting warmed up." I said as I absorbed his sword in a tornado of fire.
"ah, my blade rejoined my body. Now for my next trick." I said as I opened my hand and surrounded myself with fire, in the form of a demon.
"these gloves are only to further enhance my abilities, until I found my sword back." I said. A human form appeared next to me and grabbed my shoulder. It then turned into a 3 foot long sword. I swung it around for a while, before I ran towards every noble and cut them open.
Back at the camp
"okay, you managed to absorb the sword of a noble, then summoned it, and gained the trust of the demon in mere seconds. How?" Elody asked.
"the sword I grabbed, was my own. It came loose when I entered this world, and finding it made me whole again." I said. Elody hugged me.
"thank you for trying to help me." she said. I hugged her back.
"no problem, anything for my friends."
I continued helping the demon squad, and in my spare time, I tried to find a way out of here. During a fight with vampires with skills far beyond that of the average noble, a girl with long pink hair walked towards me.
"so, this is that dimensional traveler who's been able to kill more of my army then the humans combined." she said as she winked towards me. I summoned my sword and ran towards her. She just grabbed my sword, pushed it away and almost broke my arm.
"we can help you get back to your own world, and you want to kill us?!" she said.
"I don't work with you demons."
"too bad, if you'd let us help you, we could make a deal to let your friends live. As livestock." I grabbed her with my other hand and kicked her away. I then summoned my sword again and stabbed her.
"so, you decided to show some balls after all." she said.
"shut up. You're going to help me, and let my friends be. Afterwards, you will close the way and never follow me!" I said as I turned my sword around inside her.
"too late, you blew your chance. Now, you get nothing." she said as she pulled my sword out and punched me on the floor.
"don't hurt him!" Elody said as she ran towards me.
"Elody, go. Let me be. I'll be fine." I said as I slowly got up. Elody grabbed me and helped me.
"we'll find a way to send you back." she said. I pushed her away.
"get out. We'll see each other again, if not, I'm gone to my own dimension, or dead." I said. Elody ran away. I faced the "queen" again, holding my sword.
"are you that persistent? How is it that you haven't died yet?!" she asked. I could feel several swords hit my back, so I turned around, and in one sweep, I killed the 6 nobles behind me.
"this is how I survived. With my skill and luck." she started laughing.
"you're too cute to kill. Perhaps I'll make you my apprentice." she said with a wink. I put my sword on my shoulder.
"look, can't you just help me out on this. I'll keep on killing your fighters, so just help me get back home." I said. She looked at me and nodded. Then, I heard someone running towards me. I turned around and got hugged by Elody.
"take me with you to your world. You're my only friend here." she said.
"I will. But are you sure about it?" I asked.
"oh, shut up you lovebirds. Just leave us already." the queen said.
We were guided towards a room with a giant circle with strange signs on it.
"just place your hands on the edge of the circle and you'll open a portal to your world. Now, get out of here!" she said. I placed my hands on the edge of the circle. A light emerged from the center of the circle and a hole opened. I grabbed Elody's hand and we both jumped into the hole.
"hello Jason and Elody." a strange voice said.
"who is there." I said.
"just walk through this door and you'll go to the next world." the voice said as a giant door appeared. Countless hands emerged from the door and grabbed me and Elody.
Does anyone have any idea what the next world will be ;-P
this is the end for the seraph of the end chapters, see you next chapter, which will be shorter then usual. It'll be more information then action.
