CHAPTER 32

(STAZ'S P.O.V)

"You again," I growled in irritation. "I guess there's no better time than ever to kick your ass!." "Really isn't that interesting," Seiji responded. "I wonder what the prince of the underworld wants with me." Instead of replying, I attacked him with my magic.

As my magic collided with his, his three headed snake form countered my attack. One of the snakes bit my hand thus electrocuting me. I dropped to my knees in pain as Seiji laughed. "You're a fool to go up against Karl Heinz's sons. You think because you're royalty, you can do what the hell you want. If you want this eye, you're going to have to kill me in order to obtain it."

As I slowly got to my feet, I had noticed that Zero had gotten into a fighting stance, and was about to attack. "Stay out of this Zero," I said nonchalantly never taking my eyes off of Seiji. "I finally understand why Yui hates you so much." I stated as my magic surrounded me once more.

"YOU'RE SCUM!," I screamed using my vampire Tetsuzanko quickly catching him off guard. My technique enhances my physical strength, and executes a powerful shoulder strike. I didn't stop there. As he staggered, I took the opportunity since I was now standing behind him, and ripped off one of his snakes.

"You left your own daughter to suffer at the hand of monsters!," I screamed in rage slamming my fist into the right side of his face. Seiji crashed into the wall from the impact of my fist. The jar flew out of Seiji's hand, before he collided with the wall. Falcon teleported and caught it before the jar hit the ground.

"You talk as if you're not one," Seiji said standing up now smirking. "Tell me Staz is she better off with you?. I find it hard to believe and noble like you doesn't suck blood."

"Shut… up…" I said through clenched teeth. "You're such a hypocrite. I'm sure you filled her head with lies, telling her that you'll protect her. How's that working out for you, considering that she's getting married in a weeks' time." As he said those words, one of his snakes shot forward quickly heading towards Falcon.

I quickly teleported in front of Falcon, and sent an energy blast towards the snake. Seiji jumped out of the way to the left, however I had teleported in front of him, before he had the chance to attack Falcon. His eyes widened in shock at my agility.

"Whatever those sadistic freaks are making her do, it's not of her own free will. I don't expect you to understand anything about free will, now that you're Karl Heinz's puppet. Guess you'll never find out." Without warning, or giving him time to process my words, I sent magic energy into my hand, and ripped his heart out. As I watched the organ pump in my hands for the last time, I realized Seiji began chanting something with his last breath. He only stopped when he coughed up blood.

"You'll never have her Staz, her fate is sealed…" was the last thing he said before he slumped to the ground.

THE JAR THAT CONTAINED THE EYE SUDDENLY SHATTERED…

"What the hell!." Zero exclaimed in shock.

WHY DID THE JAR SHATTER ?...

COULD IT BE THAT SEIJI HAD USED SOME SORT OF SPELL?.

As I turned and faced Falcon and Zero, I saw the eye coming straight towards me.

I COULDN'T MOVE…

The scary thing was I wasn't paralyzed by fear…

I struggled inwardly in disbelief, as the eye not only smacked me in the forehead, but pushed itself into my forehead.

(ZERO'S P.O.V)

I couldn't believe what I just saw…

The eye had pushed itself into Staz's forehead and disappeared. I teleported to Staz who was on his knees, with his head facing downwards.

"Staz are you okay?!," I asked in panic. Falcon had joined me in silence.

I looked up to Falcon, hoping that he could give me some answers. Falcon stared back at me, just as dumbfounded as I was.

"ZERO I CAN'T-," Staz managed to say still facing the ground. "Just relax, you don't-."

I NEVER GOT TO FINISH…

Staz raised his head to reveal the eye fuse with Staz's forehead. I had to turn away, because all three eyes radiated off a bright light, which made it difficult to stare at him long.

WITHOUT WARNING HE LET OUT A TERRIFYING SCREAM…

The impact of his voice shaked the entire temple, and sent Falcon and I flying backwards.

The last thing I remembered seeing was a bright light engulf Staz…
