CHAPTER 5 – The Hard Choices

3 Years Earlier

Adrian walks with his two children who have grown more than ever through the woods

Nathan: Dad, how do you know those things are still out there? Ever since we got out of the old town, we never heard anyone being infected or anyone mentioning those things being alive.

Adrian: Nathan we cannot be very sure. Yes, you do not get infected, nor do you infect others, but we must be on the lookout.

Liah: Dad's right Nathan. We can't risk those things from causing a worldwide darkness may be gone in our city, but I believe it is not completely gone.

Adrian: Which is why we must be cautious. The darkness may possess others right under our noses.

Nathan: I-I understand dad. [Nathan told him but looked under his arm to see marks that were a sign from his past and what he had faced to survive.]

Adrian: Here we are. Hurricane Building Services.

[All three stumble across an abandoned building with nature consuming most of the building.]

Liah: Alright, we just ummm...check and get out right dad?

Adrian: Right, you two better keep those weapons on ya at all times.

Nathan: Alright [Nathan took a big breath] Let's do this.

[Adrian took out his shotgun while Liah took out her bow and arrow with Nathan holding his rifle as the three went deeper inside. All three looked around with flashlights only to see many seats and tables being consumed by mother nature.]

Liah: Hey dad, do you have a story about this place?

Adrian: No clue...Ever since the town has been known for its mass missing children and cases of murders, it just became a ghost town. At least that is what your grandfather told me.

[Nathan continued to look around to see some drawings made by children on tables.]

Nathan: it's sad...just hearing about children being brutally murdered...what if the

darkness was the one that controlled great grandfather William?

[Adrian turns his gaze at Nathan with a blank expression trying to think what to say.]

Adrian: If the darkness ever existed before Hurricane became the home of that cursed Pizzaria...then we should be deeply concerned, Nathan…

[Liah continues to walk around the place as she would eventually get split up from Adrian and Nathan.]

Nathan: And you're not concerned about me being a target for world destruction.

[Nathan spoke with seriousness under his breath towards Adrian.]

Adrian: Are you really bringing this up? Now? On a mission, Nathan?

[Adrian raises his gaze at Nathan not even paying attention to Liah.]

Nathan: Oh I don't know ummm lets see...ever since that birthday at the park, you started to become less interested in me to the point I must always join up with Gluhen, Liah, or Ian. And not to mention I had to go on another day with my pal to get caramel coffee with him. That is it, just me and him drinking caramel coffee as I watch him do those weird stories on those fan sites.

Adrian: Nathan...this is not the best time...I know you want things to change...but this is our life...to keep our home...our world safe...I promised that to your grandfather...I know you-

Nathan: I did not sign up to be a fucking killer, Dad. Ever since I got fucking infected or somehow didn't become a monster, I became a god damn disease to our home...many have died, Dad...we cant stop pretending it never happened…

[Adrian looked down as if he was guilty after everything that had happened between him and Nathan.]

Adrian: I understand...but...we have to keep moving forward...and not look back to the past...or else it can turn us into something ugly...do you understand?

[Nathan looked at him with an innocent expression and thought to himself for a moment until he found his answer.]

Nathan: Yea...I'm sorry, Dad…

[Adrian smiled and patted Nathan on the shoulder.]

Adrian: Alright, little pup, we should get moving. Maybe you can practice more on your guitar when we get back home, Nathan, alright?

Nathan: Sure, Dad. Also please do not call me "little pup". I'm not 6 anymore.

[Nathan gave a giggle which caused them both to smile until they heard Liah calling out.]

Liah: Guys! Check out what I found over here! This might be bad news…

[Nathan and Adrian heard Liah's call and came over only for both to be shocked to find a body decomposing]

Adrian: Oh no...everyone be on the lookout, alright...we might not be alone..

[Both nodded their heads as they held their weapons to search the whole building to find any sign of "The Darkness".]

[Liah continued to walk with Nathan through a long hallway in pitch black.]

Liah: And what were you two talking about, hmm? Issues, I suppose?

Nathan: It's nothing, Liah… Bad timing, is all… Guess the past can get to ya…

[Liah took a deep breath to speak with her own brother about the subject.]

Liah: I know that day has traumatized us… Yeah, I had issues with dad about it as well… but I still love him… He saved us, remember? From the cult members?

Nathan: Yeah… but something doesn't add up… Why does Uncle Cass and Pop always tell us that they saved us because the cult leaders believe we were the key to the world by sacrificing us? That doesn't make any sense...

[Liah looked from Nathan to the main hall as she took a deep sigh.]

Liah: I guess you are not wrong about that, Nathan… Maybe we should talk with Gluhen and that dark haired devil of yours about it?

Nathan: I don't know… Yea maybe they can help… Besides they both were there during the incident and they got out with us as well.

Liah: Lets just stay focused on this and hopefully get the hell out as soon as possible with dad.

[Both continued to walk down the misty halls of pure dread until they heard something that caught their attention.]

Nathan: What was that…? [Nathan asked with fear under his breath]

Liah: We must check it out... [Liah told with slight fear]

[Both continued to walk down another hall until they entered a room with room filled with blood and bodies.]

Nathan: Holy shit… We must get to dad now! [Nathan told with shock under his breath knowing this room was used before they came in]

Liah: I know these people...they are– [Liah spoke until something came into the room.]

Mysterious man: H-help...me...

Nathan: S-sir, what happened to you?! [Nathan shouted knowing the man has many recognizable symptoms from Nathan's past.]

[The mysterious man looked up with black eyes and dilated pupils. Suddenly, the man screamed like an inhuman monster and started to charge at them.]

Liah: NATHAN! [Liah shouted]

Nathan: SHIT [Nathan shouted as they both started to fire]

PRESENT DAY

[Nathan started to crawl through the vents as he noticed many of Valentino's men walking through the halls.]

Nathan: I'm going to get you, Valentino... [Nathan said with seriousness under his voice. Nathan continued to crawl through the vents until he stopped to see Valentino and Vox walking in the hall.]

Valentino: He will be here any minute...we cannot afford to let this child be freed into the world or else he will destroy hell and soon everything around him...did he say anything about the tests?

Vox: Yes, the darkness is contained here...but if it is spilled out then soon the demons won't stand a chance against these monsters...not even Lucifer or Alastor...we must kill this child or at least contain him…

Valentino: It doesn't matter..if Nathan ever does come here then I will give him a choice or choose to kill him...He doesn't know what he is up against… Find him. Spread our men around the cities and make sure he is dead. Bring him to me if alive and weak...he might like to meet him in person...now go... [Valentino orders Vox as he takes another smoke.]

Vox: Oh ho ho! This will be soo much fun if I ever do find him…

[Vox leaves with a smile that gives Nathan concerns on what they are talking about.]

Nathan: The Darkness...here? That's impossible...if they do anything with it..I must stop them... [Nathan agrees with himself as he continues through the vents until he stops at one of the vents to climb down into an unattended room.]

Nathan: Where the fuck am I…? [Nathan looked around until he noticed photos and research papers on a desk with files around the room.]

Nathan: Is this…? [Nathan takes a paper to see what it reads.]

* Research #1: Nathaniel, the son of Adrian appears to have blood of no demon, nor angel, nor human. It appears that Nathan looks to have human blood but deep inside there is something special about the stated that Lord Bahemuz tried to kill Nathan and some of his family members in a ritual in order to "save the world from a huge darkness". If Lord Bahemuz, the man who was killed by Adrian during the ritual is right, then we must take action on Nathan and keep him secure. We don't know what makes Nathan special, which is why we must be careful… we must contain those who goes into contact with...him – Valentino.

Nathan: H-how does he know about this...t-this cannot be...no no no FUCK, how do these demons know about me! [Nathan shouted with fear and shock having to know that Valentino and his friends know way more about him than he thought.]

Nathan: T-this...huh? [nathan takes another note]

*Research #2: We all gathered in a meeting with him, the keeper of the darkness, and we were all surprised to know that Nathan is the key...when we heard about the darkness, we thought it was a legend created by Lucifer...but it wasn't...it was really real...the darkness is really real...then that means my fucking brother, Blitzo, is in real trouble...we all agreed that we must either kill or contain this child...he is going to be a problem... - Fizzarolli

Nathan: They are going after me...wait, the keeper of the darkness?…..its him...that fucker is down here... I must warn charlie...c'mon c'mon there must be a god damn something

[Nathan looks around to see where he can find a phone until he spotted a telephone and quickly tried to remember the office number to call Charlie]

Nathan: Phone number phone number...got it [Nathan thinks until he remembered the phone number and called Charlie.]

[Charlie was helping with Vaggie at the front desk until she had gotten a call from Nathan.]

Charlie: This is the happy hotel! How can I help you? [Charlie spoke in a friendly tone.]

Nathan: Charlie...it's me, Nathan [Nathan spoke, struggling to stay calm]

Charlie: Nathan? W-what's going on? I thought you were with Angel?

Nathan: Charlie, you must listen to me...Angel was taken by Valentino...I'm at the porn studio and I-I...I'm going to stop him [Nathan told with seriousness in his voice.]

Charlie: W-what? Nathan, what is going on? What do you mean he was taken by Valentino? [Charlie spoke with fear in her voice which gave Vaggie a concerned look behind her.]

Nathan: I don't have time! Please! I need you to tell your father about Valentino, he's planning something that can cause chaos! I don't know how but I believe he's going to destroy hell—just please do what I say, it's serious! [Nathan spoke knowing time is running out for him soon.]

Charlie: Ok ok I will uh go to my father as soon as possible. Do you need help?! [Charlie spoke with fear as she got things ready.]

Nathan: N-no don't worry about me, just please get to Lucifer and tell him everything that I just said. And warn him about the darkness and Valentino will go for anyone– [Nathan was interrupted by his mind as he remembers from the first note that Valentino will go for anyone who interacts with Nathan .]

Nathan: I'm the...oh no... [Nathan spoke with fear as realization appeared in his mind.]

Charlie: Nathan?! [Charlie spoke with high concerns]

Nathan: Charlie get out of there! Get everyone out of there! He's coming for you! Valentino is coming for you!

[Charlie realized what situation she is in and starts to panic]

Charlie: Vaggie! Get Husk, Nifty and the others out of here now! [Charle in full panic.]

Vaggie: Charlie, what is going on?! [Vaggie with high concerns.]

Husk: Hey what is the hold up?! I'm trying to drink my booze in peace! [Husk in irritation.]

Charlie: Where's nifty?! [Charlie in panic]

Nifty: Right here! What is wrong? [Nifty in total confusion.]

Charlie: Ok, now we must get all the others outsi— [Charlie would be interrupted by a lot of gunfire causing every demonic citizen to scream and panic from Nathan's call.]

Nathan: Charlie? Charlie! [Nathan trying to get a response from Charlie as the call would soon cut off]

[Nathan suddenly heard a noise behind his back.]

Vox: Yes, how sad the daughter of Lucifer might not get the chance to help the demons here...because of you. [Vox said sinisterly.]

[Vox suddenly used electrokinesis with one hand to pin Nathan against the wall as he wails in pain.]

Vox: Coming here alone was a mistake hahaha!, but I will make ya a deal, Nathan. If you comply in surrendering, then I will not give you a time of pure suffering...would you like that, Nathan? [Vox walking towards Nathan with a sinister smile]

[Nathan struggled to even move as the electric power was too strong.]

Nathan: F-fuck you! [Nathan speaking in pure pain.]

Vox: [chuckles] Very sad indeed. Ahh how the son of Adrian has fallen. Guess your pathetic father was wrong about you. [Vox laughed as Nathan's blood began to boil.]

[Nathan finally broke free from Vox's electrokinesis and finally took a strong punch across Vox's lower jaw causing Nathan to be free.]

[Vox staggered back as he began to cough out a bloodied tooth.]

Vox: You...little...SHIT...you fucking ruined my smile! [Vox was enraged by the fact he took a strong punch from a human.]

Nathan: I don't give a shit about your smile. Where is Angel?! [Nathan shouted back.]

Vox: Oh hahahah! you don't have to worry about him...but you should worry about yourself! [Vox suddenly teleports forward and throws Nathan through a wall into another room. Nathan coughed painfully as he tried to get up and looked up to see Vox across the room.]

Vox: Let's make this fun, shall we?! Hahahahaha! [Vox suddenly lit up the rooms with light sources as they began to shine bright.]

Nathan: I will fucking kill every last one of you...until one of you tell me where the murderer is. [Nathan wipes the black blood from his lips with angry teeth.]

Vox: Oh don't worry!, he wanted us to stop you from ever going near him, and we finally realize why! [Vox shouted happily.]

Nathan: What…? [Nathan asked in an aggressive tone.]

Vox: Well, let's just say you're a major problem...AND THAT YOUR DEATH WILL BE A FAVOR TO ALL DEMONS IN THIS REALM. [Vox laughed maniacally as he rushed towards Nathan.]

[Nathan dodged many of his dangerous attacks as he continued to shoot many bullets from his pistol into vox.]

Vox: FOOL, bullets can't hurt me! We are overlords of this realm! You can't win! [Vox shouted happily.]

Nathan: That won't stop me from killing you. [Nathan spoke seriously as he clenched his pocket knife out.]

Vox: Ohhh this is going to be fun! [Vox violently continues to take many swings causing Nathan to make good decisions on his move.]

[Nathan finally fought back with many slashes right back at Vox including one to the stomach.]

[Vox would stumble back with a yell of pain as he held his stomach.]

Vox: He was right about you...you are not like other humans...no matter, human or not, you will suffer and die!

[Vox finally used his electrokinesis on the ground to shock Nathan.]

[Nathan yelps out loudly in a violent scream as he falls on his hands.]

Nathan: I will fucking kill you...I will fucking kill you! [Nathan shouts violently at vox]

.

[Vox suddenly grabbed Nathan by his head and lifted him up in the air.]

Vox: It seems you are a rabid wolf. Let's put you down, shall we?! [Vox laughed hysterically as he threw Nathan to another fall causing him to take away his last strength.]

[Nathan slides down on the wall as he is left breathing heavily while looking back at vox.]

Vox: You know...it was pathetic of you to face me..BUT I can give you credit for those marvelous hits you took! [Vox smiled insanely as he crouched down on his knees to look at Nathan face to face.]

Nathan: You will die for this. [Nathan not showing any sign of fear nor emotion after the damage he took.]

[Vox only smiled right back at Nathan.]

Vox: Not surprised your still upset, you just couldn't accept the fact that they are dead and you are the problem to be dealt with. [Vox only smirked.]

Nathan: Then why don't you fucking kill me. [Nathan responded.]

Vox: Well since you are weak, I suppose I should take you back to him for more research about your...condition. [Vox then glared his sight at Nathan's left arm.]

[Nathan notices and tries to back away until Vox grabs his arm and pulls up his shirt on his shoulder to see the scars left by Nathan's past.]

Nathan: G-GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME! [Nathan continues to struggle trying to get his arm away from him.]

Vox: HAHAHAHA, This is exactly why, fool, This is why we need you! [Vox smiled grimly.]

Nathan: It's fucking nothing! [Nathan shouted back at vox.]

Vox: well then!, I know an old trick that can help me learn what makes you tick! [Vox laughed as he played with both of his hands on electricity.]

[Nathan looks to be in no fear but wonders what he's going to do to him.]

Vox: Don't worry, this will only feel like a pinch hahahahaha! [Vox used both of his hands to grab Nathan's head with his electrokinesis causing Nathan to scream in pain as everything went black.]

[Nathan opens his eyes to himself only surrounded by darkness with no one around him.]

Nathan: H-hello? [Nathan spoke hoping to get any response but only silence in return.]

[Nathan continues to walk through darkness hoping to find a way out.]

[Nathan then suddenly saw his father Adrian at a distance, having his back to Nathan.]

Nathan: D-Dad? [Nathan spoke with sadness under his voice knowing it was his father.]

[Adrian turned around to see Nathan with a blank stare until he finally spoke.]

Adrian: He's inside your mind, Nathan. [Adrian spoke with no emotion.]

Nathan: W-what? [Nathan was confused about what his father meant.]

Adrian: Vox...that mad demon is trying to find out the truth about what makes you special...you must fight back, Nathan.

Nathan: I-I don't understand...why is this happening to me...this..this is like a dream that I cannot escape...seeing some demons...having souls like humans...being known as your son to everyone here...and still I'm not dead...why is this really happening to me? [Nathan filled with sadness as he talked to his father with guilt.]

Adrian: Because you choose this path, Nathan...I know this is not what you exactly want in life… Know this...the choices you choose...will reflect who you become...you, your sister..and the others have helped me change...now it is your turn to choose who you become. [Adrian spoke his last words to Nathan as he faded into the darkness.]

Nathan: W-WAIT DAD IM– [Nathan tried to speak his last words to his father but it was too late.]

Nathan: I-I'm...I'm sorry...for everything. [Nathan collapses on his legs as he begins to whimper in tears]

[Nathan noticed someone crying in the distance and saw his younger self holding his own pocket knife.]

[Nathan walks over to him wondering why he is seeing himself sitting helplessly crying.]

[Nathan knew this would be the last to see his innocence as he sits beside his younger self as his younger self turns to him.]

Nathan: I know it's upsetting to hurt others...causing you the same pain as others...you wish to go back and never go into that building...but it's too late...we can never go back...we have to move forward...and end this...for all and...people like...octavia...hopefully we can live to see her again...she is the nicest person we met...maybe...we can have her help...if we ever do live...rest now...please. [Nathan listened but was saddened as he looked back at his younger self to see him smile and fade away.]

[Nathan looks down but knows he cannot give up until he stands.]

Vox: Awww did the poor child lose his father to look after him from the big monster. [Vox laughed as Nathan looked behind with tears in his eyes.]

Nathan: I warned you many times...that if you talk about my father...I would kill you...and nothing...is going to change that...and I mean nothing...you and everyone apart of this...are already dead. [Nathan without hesitation spoke being serious about what he is going to do.]

Vox: You say you would do exactly what you say...but how can you...when all you are is a serious disease that must be washed away off this fucking hellish realm. [Vox smiled as he faced Nathan]

Nathan: Because this disease knows how to control it. [Nathan spoke seriously.]

[Nathan suddenly grabbed two of Vox's hands and snapped them clean as vox screamed in agonizing pain.]

[Vox suddenly stopped controlling Nathan's mind as both of his hands were snapped and blood spewed out of them.]

Vox: FUCK FUCK...MY HANDS...YOU FUCKING RIPPED THEM, THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE h-Haha! [Vox in a state of shock as Nathan stood up emotionless.]

[Vox is on the floor in pain as Nathan walked over to him to which he stood over him as his eyes were black with only white pupils of rage.]

Vox: WHAT HAH, YOU EXPECT ME TO TELL YOU WHERE YOUR PATHETIC SPIDER FRIEND IS?! WELL I WON'T TELL...AND SOON YOU WILL DIE WITH THIS REALM!. [Vox took his last laugh as he groaned in pain.]

[Nathan only gave a blank stare until he spoke his final warning towards Vox.]

Nathan: Well here's the deal...you can comply...or you can get a hell of a time of suffering...make your decision quickly.

[Vox only smiled and made his final decision of his life.]

Vox: I take suffering. [Vox chuckled nervously as Nathan showed no emotion.]

Nathan: Good.

[Nathan suddenly kicked vox over causing him to groan as Nathan bends down to grab his head.]

Nathan: What was it that you and the others were talking about...my father being pathetic?

[Vox only smiled.]

Vox: He was a weak fool...just like you. [Vox continued to smile until Nathan made a move.

[Nathan suddenly slammed Vox's head on the floor causing Vox's face to bleed from his screen and for him to make a huge groan.]

Nathan: I'm sorry you wanted me to prove how weak I am! [Nathan shouted.]

[Nathan slammed his head down again on the floor again causing vox to take more damage to his face.]

Nathan: OH WAA WAA WAA LOOK AT THIS FUCKING BROKEN TOY. [Nathan shouted in rage.]

[Vox's face looked brutally damaged as Nathan took another slam to his face.]

Nathan: MY FATHER WAS WEAK, WAS HE?! THEN LET ME RETURN THE FUCKING FAVOR FOR HIM! [Nathan shouted as he slammed Vox's face on the floor again.]

Nathan: LETS MAKE IT CLEAR, MOTHER FUCKER...ONCE IM DONE WILL ALL OF YOU ASSHOLES GETTING IN MY WAY..then this only proves one thing...you all are not overlords.

[Nathan spoke in rage only to speak his last words silently into Vox's head.]

[Nathan shockingly bashed Vox's face on the floor many times as he cursed a lot in rage.]

[Nathan finally got exhausted as he took his last chance and bashed Vox's face into the floor leaving him disfigured and his body twitching.]

Nathan: Sayonara, you piece of shit. [Nathan felt exhausted after bashing vox's head.]

[Nathan leaves the building in a hurry, thinking maybe some of Valentino's men were coming.]

[Nathan continues to stay hidden throughout the halls to find Angel.]

[Nathan started to cough up black blood very badly on his hands causing Nathan to feel a little scared.]

Nathan: W-what the fucking is happening to me? [Nathan feels uneasy but has to continue down the halls.]

[Nathan stops by a room to find a map or some sort in order to help him.]

Nathan: C'mon c'mon there must be some map in here to help me find Angel. [Nathan was annoyed at trying to find the map.]

Nathan: Where is it...huh? [Nathan searched until a walkie talkie started to make noises next to him.]

[Nathan holds the walkie talkie to get some feedback from anyone on the other side.]

Demon: Valentino!-god damn you...I have been trying to get to you but we have a huge problem, we heard rumors about a man with very dark brown hair with some sort of grey jacket that has been taken into Imp he seems to be another human possibly to be killed by IMP next but most importantly is a girl and some rabbit ..they are attacking crimsons home...he was going to catch up to Noda!, Valentino if you don't find the kid and get him back then our plan will fail and soon shit will get ugly-SO GET THE FUCKING KID! [The walkie talkie cut off leaving Nathan confused.]

Nathan: Shit is really starting to get real... it doesn't matter, I must find Angel.

[Nathan suddenly heard pig noises coming from the vents that had caught his attention.]

Nathan: Nuggets?...Nuggets, I recognize that squill, I'm coming.

[Nathan started to remove the closed vents and climbed into vents to where the noises were coming from.]

[Nathan continues to climb through the vents until he stops at another and kicks it down to where he drops into the dark room.]

[Nathan spotted Nuggets in a cage panicking and moving around until Nuggets saw Nathan.]

Nathan: Nuggets...I'm going to get you out of here alright...wait, where is Angel? [Nathan asked Nuggets with concern.]

[Nuggets turned his gaze to the other side of the room which caused Nathan to see where he was looking.]

[Nathan gasped in shock to see Angel chained up on the wall seeming almost unrecognizable.]

Nathan: Oh my god...Angel. [Nathan looks terrified to see Angel almost without any clothes and brutally beaten.]

[Nathan slowly walks towards Angel and carefully decides to nudge Angel's arm to know if he is alive.]

Nathan: A-angel? [Nathan seriously wonders if he was too late.]

[Angel suddenly screamed in terror awoken from Nathan's touch causing him to feel scared.]

Nathan: ANGEL IT'S ME! STOP, LOOK AT ME! IT'S ME! [Nathan holds Angel to stop him from screaming and to calm him down.]

Angel: N-Nathan...oh Nathan! I-I knew you would be back...just not after I die. [Angel spoke in a weakened voice during his bad state.]

Nathan: W-what happened to you? [Nathan was concerned about the damage Angel suffered.

[Angel had tears in his eyes, almost afraid of speaking about what had happened.]

Angel: Valentino...FUCKING TORTURED ME LIKE A FUCKING DOLL...I...I thought you wouldn't come, Nathan. [Angel was saddened by his words.]

Nathan: Hey...I know that I didn't really trust demons from the beginning but seeing you being tortured by another...you weren't always this bad, were you…? You were human once? [Nathan asked in confusion.]

Angel: Y-yes...but I am not that person...not anymore.

Nathan: We will just talk about it later. We must get you and nuggets out of here. [Nathan told

[as he was about to try and free Angel, Angel turned his gaze behind him which caught Nathan's as he turned around to see what he was looking at.]

Valentino: I knew you would be this stupid to come here eventually. [Valentino said with a sinister chuckle]

[Nathan looks to see Valentino and his men surrounding Nathan leaving him defenseless.]

Nathan: I'm not scared of you...but you should fear what I'm about to do to all of you. [Nathan spoke seriously.]

Valentino: I had a feeling that would be your plan~, Which is why I decided to bring...them. [Valentino spoke with a smile.]

[Valentino ordered his men to bring a group of people Nathan recognized.]

Husk: LET ME GO. YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES! [Husk enraged at being tied up and pulled by Valentino's men.]

[The men brought Husk, Vaggie, Charlie and Nifty to go down on their knees in front of Nathan.]

Charlie: Y-you can't do this, do you know who I am?! My dad can k-kill you. [Charlie in terror of being tied up.]

Valentino: Oh but he isn't here...is he? Besides...I'm not going to kill you...maybe her~ [Valentino smiled]

[Valentino suddenly points his weapon at Vaggie's head causing her to panic.]

Vaggie: Please no! [Vaggie yelled.]

Charlie: NO, PLEASE DON'T HURT HER...PLEASE NO! [Charlie yelled in terror as she saw her own lover near death.]

Nathan: ENOUGH...I'm the one you want...so don't you dare point that gun at her head... point it at mine. [Nathan spoke bravely.]

[Valentino's smile grew wider as he started to laugh.]

Valentino: We won't give up on not killing you nathan~ [Valentino told.]

Nathan: WHY DAMN IT, WHAT IS SOOO SPECIAL ABOUT ME THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN PUT A GODDAMN BULLET TO MY HEAD?! [Nathan yelled angrily.]

[Valentino suddenly walked around Nathan like a hawk praying on its prey.]

Valentino: Why?...well let's say...a little birdie...someone your father might know...appeared in hell making plans...he thinks you are the cure...to an upcoming threat that is coming to hell, heaven..and soon the human world...the darkness~ [Valentino told.]

Nathan: You must be fucking insane if you believe in that type of shit that Behemuz believes in.

[Valentino chuckled until he stopped in his path right in front of Nathan.]

Valentino: You are more of a fool then I have expected...the cure...is what makes you immune to the darkness, you see after you took down Vox and Velvet..I was genuinely surprised and it was all thanks to the scars given by the first to infect you, but that is why we need you, because deep inside of you is the key to ending all of this, but all I ask for you is to comply~ [Valentino asked politely.]

Nathan: You expect me to go near...that son of bitch...who took everything away from me...? [Nathan told but had anger in his voice.]

Valentino: Ohhhh not at all, but the person you seek had his reasons and will do anything to bring you in. [Valentino told]

Valentino: Here are two choices...one...you may comply, and you may have them be safe...two... if not or if you try anything...well...let's say..these walls will be covered in their blood~ [Valentino chuckled sinisterly.]

[Nathan continued to look back at his friends being at gunpoint.]

[Nathan goes face to face with Valentino and takes his final chance.]

Nathan: I choose death to you all... [Nathan said in a calm tone.]

[Nathan surprised Valentino by secretly grabbing his weapon and shooting the people holding his friends hostage as he took bullets to his body.]

Nathan: Everyone get behind me! Save Angel! [Nathan shouted at his friends. Nathan took his friends to cover as he helped them get free.]

Charlie: Y-your...not even human. [Charlie was shocked by her discovery.]

Nathan: I know I know, but look Angel is still on the wall! I need you to get yourselves, him and Nuggets out of here. [Nathan told his friends.]

Vaggie: And what about you, you want us all to leave you here?!

Nathan: I will do my job buying you all some time... [Nathan asked all his friends.]

Husk: You've got fucking balls, kid...but if it helps us get the hell out of here then fine...I've got the little rascal here with me. [Husk told while holding Nifty.]

Nifty: Thank you for saving us...wish to repay you. [Nifty said kindly.]

Nathan: I know...now GO. [Nathan shouted.]

[Nathan's friends get over to Angel as Nathan grabs a machete from one of Valentino's men and starts to butcher them.]

[Nathan screamed like an animal slicing away many of Valentino's men like grass.]

Valentino: No...no! ….get him now! [Valentino shouted at more of his men to charge at Nathan.]

Nathan: I warned you all!. [Nathan said sinisterly as he screams again.]

[Nathan continues to slice many of his men even though he keeps groaning from many of the gunshots.]

[Nathan keeps chopping his men and notices his friend's freeing Angel and helping him get on his feet.]

Valentino: It's time to take this into my own hands~ [Valentino said in front of Nathan's face.]

[Valentino suddenly blew what appears to be toxic hallucination gas causing Nathan to get dizzy and cough alot.]

Valentino: And I warned you many times, Nathan...So you have given me no choice but to put you to rest…dog… [Valentino appeared to be laughing.]

[Nathan starts to see hallucinations of many Valentino's appearing around him.]

Nathan: You better stop hiding like a coward and face me! [Nathan shouted back in a weak state of bullets going into his body.]

[Nathan was punched many times in the face by the hallucinations of Valentino causing him to fall back on the wall.]

Valentino: Hmm...guess you weren't really that special, were you…? No worries… I will bring him your corpse once I kill you... It will be all over soon~ [Valentino said sinisterly as he grabbed Nathan by the shirt and lifted him to prepare his final blow.]

[Cherrie bomb dropped many smoke bombs causing Valentino to go blind.]

Cherrie Bomb: Up here, asshole! Drop the kid or else! [Cherrie bomb holds onto many bombs as Valentino gains his vision back to see Cherrie bomb at the top of his broken glass roof.]

Valentino: Cherrie Bomb! [Valentino was surprised to see her and to get the upper hand on him.

[Suddenly Charlie appeared behind him and swung a broken vase across his face leaving him with an open cut on his cheek.]

Charlie: Let go of him, Valentino! [Charlie bravery holds the vase by her]

Nathan: You shouldn't have come after me...

[Suddenly Nathan broke Valentino's arm causing him to scream in pain.]

Valentino: You broke m-my arm! You fucking Irritating—! [Valentino was mad as he tries to get Nathan until he was stabbed by a spear causing him to make a huge groan.]

[Vaggie stabbed him in his stomach with a crafted spear she made.]

Vaggie: That was for threatening me, you bitch! [Vaggie pulled the spear out of his stomach causing him to stagger in pain until Nifty jumped on his back and stabbed him many times with a sharp broken piece of wood.]

Nifty: Not so funny, now is it?! [Nifty laughed hysterically as Valentino screamed in pain, trying to get her off him until Husk stabbed him in the leg with a broken bottle in which Nifty jumped off him]

[Husk grabbed him by his collar and punched him many times in the face while Valentino yelped in pain from the hard punches.]

Husk: You destroyed my bar, my boozes!, you son of a bitch! [Husk yelled until he punched Valentino onto a table then Angel grabbed his broken arm.]

Angel: You fucking hurt me...YOU FUCKING HURT NUGGETS! [Angel screamed, causing him to change a little of his appearance into a more demonic version as he ripped his broken arm off his body.]

[Valentino screamed as he fell onto the floor.]

Valentino: My arm...you fucking took my arm! [Valentino yelled in pain as he was weak on the floor breathing heavily until he looked up to see Cherrie bomb with a large smile.]

Cherrie Bomb: Guess the overlord of hell has fallen, but this one..is for taking Angel away! [Cherrie yelled as she kicked Valentino far over to Alastor, who was hiding in the shadows, causing Valentino to look up at him]

Alastor: You didn't think I wouldn't watch over Charlie, did you~? [Alastor told in an evil tone.]

Valentino: Y-you! [Valentino shouted from the shock of seeing Alastor helping Charlie.]

[Alastor suddenly blew Valentino back into a glass wall ultimately weakening him very badly. Nathan rushed over to him and punched him in the face multiple times.]

Nathan: That's for my father! That's for hurting Angel! That's for HAVING ME PUT THROUGH THIS PAIN! THE FUCKING PAIN OF HURTING IMMENSELY BECAUSE OF YOU! YOU FUCKING BASTARD! [Nathan screamed as he took another punch to his face.]

[Valentino chuckled a little as blood spewed from his face.]

Valentino: You are a fool...I warned you many times...that you are the one who can save everyone...but I guess revenge gets the best of you huh? hehe...once the darkness comes back...everyone you know...will die. [Valentino warned Nathan about his choices.]

[Nathan stared emotionlessly into Valentino's eyes as he thought about what he was going to do to him.]

Nathan: This is my final warning...where is he? [Nathan told Valentino as he was very serious.]

Valentino: No..this is my final warning...if you don't make the right choices...everyone will know that you will be the reason why our worlds...will be destroyed. [Valentino laughed weakly and coughed out his own blood.]

[Nathan was worried about what Valentino meant but knew he would not get answers from him.]

Nathan:…..Wrong answer. [Nathan said sinisterly.]

[Nathan suddenly threw Valentino out the glass windows causing Valentino to scream as he fell to his fate. Nathan looked over to see Valentino fall onto a car almost completely dead.]

[Nathan looks over to see Charlie and the others except for Alastor who only smiled fearing Nathan for what he had just done.]

Charlie: W-what did you do, Nathan? [Charlie said in fear seeing what Nathan is capable of.]

Nathan: I-I'm...I'm so sorry...I-I didn't mean to. [Nathan went back to normal but told in fear and sadness as he looked down to see his hands covered in much of the demon's blood knowing something was wrong with him.]

DAY 3

9 DAYS BEFORE DISASTER

[Nathan appears on the bed with Vaggie having to pull many wasted bullets from his back.]

Nathan: O-ow...God it hurts. [Nathan is in pain from the experience he took.]

Vaggie: I know, kid, just...let me get you patched up, alright. [Vaggie assured Nathan.]

[Charlie entered the room with her hands together worrying about Nathan.]

Charlie: Hey Nathan...how are you feeling? [Charlie asked him kindly as she sat next to him.]

Nathan: I-I don't know what came over me..I-I didn't mean– [Nathan said in disappointment until Charlie interrupted him.]

Charlie: It's ok...its ok...you know...Dad told me that anger can control who you are...I once had the same situation...that's one of the reasons why I created this hotel. To give those a chance at joining God's place. [Charlie explained.]

[Vaggie finally patched Nathan up as she got her things packed to get up.]

Vaggie: umm...kid...are you sure you want to still work here? [Vaggie questioned.]

[Nathan looks sad knowing he might have to leave.]

Charlie: Hey...It's alright if you leave or don't...but just know that we will be right here. [Charlie said softly.]

Nathan: Yea...it's best if I leave. Knowing that I have taken down four strong demons...it's likely I will have more of them coming after me...and I can't get you all in danger again. [Nathan said with sadness in his voice.]

Charlie: Well...we will all say our goodbyes before you head out and after you head out, my father would like to meet you again, so Alastor can take you to him. [Charlie tells Nathan.]

Nathan: I understand. [Nathan spoke softly.]

[Charlie hugged Nathan.]

Charlie: We will see you downstairs in the main lobby. [Charlie said with a sad smile.]

[Vaggie and Charlie left, then Angel came by into Nathan's room after hearing their conversation in which Angel sits next to him holding Nuggets.]

Angel: Y-you're really leaving? [Angel told in sadness from what he had heard.]

Nathan: Knowing that there are possibly more of these guys out there...I cannot afford to bring harm to demons who have souls.

[Angel sniffed in sadness knowing a good friend of his will be going away.]

Angel: You are a real hero...and to put these bastards down for good...having to risk your life for me..and others...where do you get this inspiration?

[Nathan was silent until he finally spoke out his words.]

Nathan: My family. [Nathan made a small smile as he looked at Angel.]

Angel: Well...you and your family must be fucking badasses if you were able to do that shit before. [Angel chuckled while Nathan chuckled.]

Nathan: Yea...at least I bought a new phone on my way out...that way if well you know..I won't be separated from all of you guys. [Nathan smiled.]

[Angel smiled back and kissed Nathan on the cheek.]

Angel: Please promise me you will come back to work.

Nathan: …. Once this is all over, you know it. [Nathan smiled back.]

[Nathan pets Nuggets on the head in which Nuggets makes a cute smile.]

Nathan: That goes for you too, Nuggets, I won't forget about ya.

[Angel smiled as he got up with nuggets about to leave the room until he said one more thing.]

Angel: See you very soon...Nathan. ]Angel said as he left the room and closed the door behind him.]

[Nathan was left alone knowing he must get things ready for his next move on where he needs to go until Nathan had an idea.]

[Nathan started to dial the phone number from Octavia's gifted bracelet and waited for a response back.]

[Octavia finally picked up.]

Octavia: Oh...Nathan, you took my advice on getting a new phone. [Octavia smiled from the other side.]

Nathan: Yea, thanks for the money though but ummm...I have a question and hopefully this won't bother you. [Nathan told.]

Octavia: Oh umm...don't worry Nathan, I'm always open for questions. [Octavia responded.]

Nathan: Well...I'm moving out of the happy hotel...and...I was wondering if I can...sleep in your room for one night until...I can hit the road? [Nathan told shyly.]

Octavia: Well...My dad isn't home...neither is my mom...and it is a bit lonely here so...sure. [Octavia said kindly.]

Nathan: Thanks Octavia, I owe you one once again. Would you like to meet somewhere for us to chat?

Octavia: Oh, yes I'm ok with that, are you going to tell us where we can meet? [Octavia questioned.]

Nathan: Hmmm...I think I know one place where we can meet. I will send you the address soon. I have a meeting with...Lucifer in a bit. [Nathan is disappointed of not being able to get to Octavia right way]

.

Octavia: I can be patient, Nathan, don't worry, see you there then?

Nathan: I promised you, didn't I? [Nathan chuckled as Octavia chuckled happily.]

Octavia: See you there, bye Nathan.

Nathan: Bye Octavia [Nathan responded back as he ended the call.]

[Nathan knew what he had to do next and packed his things to go down to the lobby.

Nathan saw everyone downstairs being ready to say their goodbyes to Nathan.]

Charlie: I'm gonna miss you. [Charlie spoke with tears in her eyes, and she hugged Nathan one final time.]

Nathan: I know you will do great with this place, Charlie. [Nathan responded with a sad heart.]

[Vaggie appeared knowing this was his final day working at the happy hotel.]

Vaggie: Stay safe, kid. [Vaggie said as she gave him a hug.]

Nathan: Thanks for welcoming me here, Vaggie [Nathan told admiring Vaggie's help. Husk was next and took a big breath knowing he wasn't really much of a friend but was thankful for his help.]

Husk: I know we weren't friends before...but what you did back there...was just big balls...here, take this as my gratitude. [Husk gave Nathan a special booze for him to drink anytime.]

Nathan: Oh uhhh...thanks for the booze, Husk. [Nathan told knowing he wasn't much of a drinker.]

Husk: Don't mention it, drink it anytime whenever you feel like you're full of shit. [Husk told.]

[Nifty was next having to make a smile seeing Nathan yet again.]

Nathan: Ummm thanks for...taking care of things for m-Woah. [Nathan was interrupted by Nifty having to jump onto him to hug him.]

Nifty: You're welcome, Nathan! Enjoy your time out there! [Niffty giggled as she gets off him]

Nathan: Thanks for the hug, I guess. [Nathan felt a little uncomfortable but ignored it.]

[Angel went next as he was holding nuggets with a smile.]

Angel: Goodbye Nathan...Thanks for saving my ass back there. [Angel told and was grateful.]

Nathan: Yea...never leave those behind. [Nathan smiled knowing he had finally brought Angel home.]

[Suddenly Cherrie bomb grabs Nathan with her arm and scratches his head playfully.]

Cherrie: Ohhhh thanks for saving him, you heroic little guy! [Cherrie bomb told happily as she was proud of Nathan for facing the nightmares to save Angel.]

Nathan: Guess you took my skills on making those smoke bombs to stop Valentino. [Nathan was surprised to remember Cherrie making the same smoke bombs he made with Cherrie.]

Cherrie: Yup. And with respect, if you ever have problems then you know how to call us. [Cherrie responded as she held Angel by the shoulder.]

[Nathan nods until Alastor comes by waiting for Nathan to come with him to Lucifer.]

Alastor: Well my dear boy, I believe it is time for us to go.

[Nathan nodded as he went with Alastor and turned around to see Everyone waving at Nathan.]

Everyone: Bye, Bye Nathan! [Everyone cheered as they saw one of their new members leaving.]

Nathan: See you all again hopefully! [Nathan was saddened to leave but was happy in his heart to meet great demons that inspired him to keep going.]

[Alastor takes both of them back to where they met Lucifer in which Lucifer appears to be on his throne happy to see Nathan again.]

Lucifer: Well...if it isn't the boy again...Nathan...I'm surprised you made it. [Lucifer walked towards Nathan with a smile.]

Nathan: Wait...what do you mean by that..and why exactly did you bring me here? [Nathan questioned Lucifer in a confusing mood.]

[Lucifer grabbed Nathan by his shoulder and took him to a window of the view of hell.]

Lucifer: You see...the reason why I brought you here is one..you saved my little girl...and put your life for her...I am greatful...but two...I need to tell you the truth...this was all a test...because I asked you to search this realm...to find demons like Valentino...or Sir pentious..having to work with someone harming my people, my home... because of this soo called darkness...That is why I believe you were the only one to defeat them in this test...you are one of the children of Adrian who was known to stop powerful enemies above...

[Nathan was shocked to know about what he had just heard from lucifer.]

Nathan: Is that why Alastor spared me?

Alastor: You see, my dear boy, we knew you weren't like any of the other humans..because seeing how you survived many encounters in the past is what made us very impressed and we knew, since you were the son of Adrian, you were more, besides...we know that deep down inside… it is what makes...you... you. [Alastor smiled widely.]

Lucifer: Which is why you're here...the murderer who you seek is here...and you still need to find them by searching this realm and everything you can to stop them from going any further with their progress...because they will try bringing chaos to all rings.

[Nathan didn't have words in his mind and didn't know what to say until he finally found them and found confidence.]

Nathan: I...I just need time to rest...I cannot keep fighting forever. [Nathan assured shyly.]

[Lucifer walks over and holds his shoulder.]

Lucifer: Very well...but be careful about what you're doing...each step you take without interference...the more they progress in chaos.

Nathan: I promise I will...end this...but I don't believe this...curse will help me that very much... but I hope to stay alive...now may I go somewhere where I can make my next move? [Nathan asked kindly.]

[Lucifer looked over to Alastor with a grin.]

Alastor: Oh don't worry, One snap and you will be exactly where you want to be...but remember what Lucifer says...it is...very true~. [Alastor said as his voice turned disturbing which did not bother Nathan as he only thinks about the future he shall face.]

[Lucifer snaps his fingers causing Nathan to disappear.]

Lucifer: …..I must know if it is still out there...the darkness...I need Nathan to stop these pathetic fools from bringing this curse into my home...Nathan must end it...and if that has been taken care of...we must send Nathan back...or else he will be the one to destroy my entire realm. [Lucifer warned Alastor]

Alastor: Agreed~ Darkness will rise and if it does...we are all doomed. [Alastor spoke in a serious tone.]

[Meanwhile Octavia was sitting on a bench outside a store waiting for Nathan until she saw him walking.]

Octavia: H-hi Nathan [Octavia talked shyly but still missed Nathan after the events that happened to her.]

Nathan: Umm...hi [Nathan was also shy but deep down he was happy to see her again. Nathan sat next to Octavia on the bench.]

Octavia: Nice outfit, looks cute by the way [Octavia snickered.]

Nathan: heh ehhhh it's a gift from my dad...I always keep it to— [Nathan stopped.]

[Octavia noticed Nathan's expression changing after he had mentioned his father.]

Octavia: ...you can always talk to me...even if I'm not a good supportive person. [Octavia watched him]

[Nathan sighed.]

Nathan: It's probably best if I explained it...in your room...if that's ok. [Nathan asked Octavia kindly.]

[Octavia looked until she made her decision.]

Octavia: Yea, I think it is best if this is in my room.

Nathan: Thank you Octavia. [Nathan was thankful for how nice Octavia was.]

[Octavia wanted to be as supportive as she could, so she took Nathan by the hand as she smiled to calm Nathan down and to have him feel better as they went back to Ars Goetia. Later Nathan entered the room as he sat on the bed while Octavia pulled up a seat for her to sit in.]

Octavia: Do you want to start from the beginning? [Octavia asked Nathan.]

[Nathan took a deep breath and showed Octavia the many scars underneath his left arm which gave Octavia a concerned look.]

Nathan: When I was twelve...me and my friend went to an abandoned pizzaria...we both thought it would be fun to you know...reimagine the past of our family history...oh how wrong we were.

[Nathan told as he remembered running with someone with dark hair away from something chasing after them.]

Nathan: W-we tried to escape from..someone...but it was too late for me. [Nathan spoke with another memory of accidentally getting a large cut on his arm with black blood oozing into the human blood.]

[Octavia listened as she was always a good listener with stories but was mostly concerned about this one.]

Nathan: My father tried to help...but it was too late...everyone around me...was taken. [Nathan had emotion in his tone.]

[Nathan remembered being carried as he saw people screaming on the roads and buildings on fire.]

Nathan: Then...they came. [Nathan was scared to say what they were.]

[Nathan remembered seeing those with black eyes and white pupils chasing people on the roads.]

Nathan: They were ripping them...a-apart...tearing their flesh...they killed soo many because of me. [Nathan was almost starting to have a panic attack.]

[Octavia intervened as she held Nathan by both arms trying to calm him down.]

Octavia: Hey...easy...easy...just...relax ok...deep breaths... [Octavia tried to calm Nathan down. Nathan started to take a few breaths to calm himself down back to normal.]

Nathan: I-I'm sorry.. [Nathan was embarrassed about almost having a panic attack in front of her.]

Octavia: Hey...you don't apologize...you got that. [Octavia told Nathan.]

[Nathan's only response was a nod until Octavia sat next to him on the bed.]

Octavia: Im sorry about what happened...it's not easy to move past those moments...So maybe I can help out. You're the only one who knows this...and I know I don't like my privacy to be revealed...but I have mental problems too.

[Nathan looked back at her.]

Octavia: Ever since my parents started fighting...I always kept crying in bed...but things would always get worse like my dad sleeping with an imp to the point I don't even know why I was born...but what I do know...is dad still loves me...he would always take care of me...he is the one who was a true supportive friend...I'm sorry you don't have anyone down here that you know...but know that I care about your going through...nothing will change that. [Octavia spoke her speech but wonders wether it was the right thing or not about what she was doing, so she decided to go with it and smiled back.]

[Nathan looked back with a smile and was trying to cover his face.]

Nathan: Thank you, Octavia. [Nathan was very grateful to have someone like Octavia to trust in his life.]

Octavia: C'mon, rest in my bed, you need the sleep you said.

Nathan: Oh I really don't wan— [Nathan tries to kindly decline the favor until Octavia interrupts.]

Octavia: Shut it...you need some rest after what I had heard from the news...the battles were exhausting and you need it, I will be sleeping on the floor tonight, alright? [Octavia kindly tells Nathan.]

[Nathan grinned as he lays in bed preparing to get some rest as Octavia gets her things ready on the floor.]

Nathan: Hey...are you always this nice? [Nathan asked Octavia.]

[Octavia lays on the floor with a blanket over her.]

Octavia: No...a lot of people who know me think I'm a gothic freak...in which...I never talked to a lot of people...until you showed up. [Octavia snickered.]

Nathan: Is that so? [Nathan said jokingly.]

Octavia: Mhm, and if I'm being honest...I thought humans...well I don't know if that includes you but...I thought they were...animals...but you...you're very different, Nathan. [Octavia told in honesty.]

Nathan: Obviously it's because I don't die easily, is that it? [Nathan told jokingly.]

[Octavia chuckled back at his response.]

Octavia: No, you fool, you're just...I don't know...maybe just like me...a weirdo. [Octavia responded.]

[Nathan's eyes widened from what he had heard.]

Nathan: Oh...ummm well then, maybe we can save that for tomorrow right? [Nathan responded]

[Octavia snickered one last time.]

Octavia: Yea… umm goodnight, Nathan. [Octavia embarrassingly told as she went to bed.]

Nathan: Goodnight, Octavia. [Nathan responded back.]

[Nathan could only look up at the stars at the top of Octavia's roof as he thought about what future he would face until his eyes closed shut.]

3 YEARS EARLIER AGAIN

[Liah and Nathan were running as their weapons rang out against something chasing them].

Nathan: We must take it down, Liah! [Nathan shouted as they continued to run.]

Liah: We must find Dad! Where is he?! [Liah yelled until they accidentally fell through a weak floor to the outside.]

[Nathan and Liah were on the ground until the creature popped up and started to attack Liah as she struggled.]

[Nathan loses his weapon and noticed the creature attacking liah knowing that deep down the citizen was still trapped and couldn't control what he was doing.]

Liah: Nathan! [Liah yells as Nathan had been standing in fear of his choice.]

[Nathan grabbed his own machete as he was going to deliver a big blow until he had heard a voice]

The man: Please...tell my wife liv...that im sorry I never got to come back...please free me... [The man had spoken in sadness knowing he wants to be free from his curse]

[Nathan would only bring out one drop of tear until he decided to make his final response ]to the man]

Nathan: Im sorry...

[Nathan had no choice but to kill the creature as he screams while chopping the creature off of Liah with a Machete until it was not moving.]

[Nathan was covered in human blood knowing he had just killed someone. Liah was still struggling to get up until she was helped up by Nathan]

[Adrian finally made it in a hurry to see Liah and Nathan exhausted.]

Adrian: Oh thank God you two are ok. [Adrian was worried as he hugged both of them.]

[Adrian noticed Nathan shaking in fear and terror from killing another.]

Nathan: D-dad… [Nathan spoke with a tone of fear.]

Adrian: Hey listen to me...you had to do what you had to do...it would have killed your sister...and you did the right thing... know that you must protect those at all costs with your own blood...you did the right thing...you are not alone in these types of situations...alright? [Adrian told Nathan.]

Nathan: Thank you,...Dad...I-I...I don't think I can do it... [Nathan spoke]

Nathan: So many people...so many demons...that I have killed...feeling their pain...hearing their screams every night...I just want to be free [Nathan said emotionally]

[Adrian would make a sad blank stare only to be a sigh]

Adrian: Even those in death you have taken...did not achieve forgivness from the dead..it does however...achieve a new family...Charlie...Vaggie...Husk...Niffty...Angel...Cherrie Bomb...all who have helped you...even if this isn't the choice you choose...there is always another way [Adrian smiled as Liah smiled behind]

[The skies would start to turn bright, as Nathan caught its attention and knew it was time up.]

Nathan: N-no, I can't leave you! [Nathan was scared to leave his father again.]

Adrian: Nathan...you must wake up...you must continue this journey..without me...I'm counting on you kiddo, now please...Wake up Nathan...Wake up...Wake up...Wake up… [Adrian tries to assure Nathan that everything will be alright as he spoke until everything turns black for Nathan only for him to hear Octavia.]

Octavia: ...wake up...wake up, Nathan. [Octavia said as she checked up on Nathan.]

[Nathan opened his eyes to see Octavia on the left side of the bed next to him.]

Octavia: Feeling better? [Octavia asking Nathan.]

[Nathan knew about what he had dreamed but knew he couldn't reveal it.]

Nathan: Y-yea. [Nathan assured Octavia.]

[Nathan realizes this is his last stop and must plan another on his way out]

Nathan: Ahh...I forgot that I need to find somewhere else to take a few naps...but I don't have money...nor a job...and please don't think about giving me money. [Nathan telling Octavia]

[Octavia was convinced she could help with the money she had until that comment made by him in which Octavia tried to think until she had an idea.]

Octavia: ….I think I know one place you can work at...augh...I.M.P...just over at Imp city... [Octavia didn't have any other ideas on other jobs and only knows IMP in which she was disgusted knowing someone works there.]

[Nathan was confused about what I.M.P was knowing he had only heard the words from a walkie talkie but no context ever given.]

Nathan: I.M.P? What does that even stand for? [Nathan questioned while Octavia had her hand on her face.]

Octavia: ...Immediate...murder...professionals. [Octavia responded.]

Nathan: Meaning?

Octavia: They are basically some dumb assassination group. Those who want someone dead would ask them to murder them. [Octavia said in annoyance.]

Nathan: And are you sure this job over there can really help me?

Octavia:…..Well it's better than having to work as a hotel employee I suppose. [Octavia said jokingly.]

Nathan: Hey that place was great alright heh...but if this job can really help me get the money to continue searching then I will take it.

[Octavia had her eyebrow raised.]

Octavia: Alright then, your choice, but trust me...that place wont be the very best to work at, especially those working there...except a friend of mine...Loona.

Nathan: Well...if she is your friend...then I trust her. [Nathan assured her.]

[Nathan begins packing his backpack and opens the window to climb out only to turn to see Octavia.]

Nathan: You still...want to chat...again? [Nathan asked.]

[Octavia made a small smile.]

Octavia: ...You know I'm...always open. [Octavia smirked.]

[Nathan smiled back as he was ready to leave Octavia once again.]

Nathan: See you again, Octavia! [Nathan jumps out as he lands on his feet.]

Octavia: You too Nathan. [Octavia responded back knowing he was gone already.]

[Nathan was writing as he continued to walk on the streets as he wrote in his journal again.]

Nathan: It has been another day...another nightmare that has ended for me...from what I can understand from those days...all I know is that I must make the different hard choices to save those around me...I...believe that is what my father meant before...Angel and the others were one of them...taking those overlords was never what I wanted...but if It can save..more good demons...then I would do it...and I hope you are proud of me today dad...as I continue on this journey...you may not be down here...but I hope you know that I'm still taking your advice...hope you can say hi to uncle Cass for me...I love you yet again...and I hope that I can make it through more challenges and end this...in order for you to finally be in a good spot...see you again...dad...your son...Nathan. [Nathan stopped as he was writing for almost over an hour as he went by a sign from above saying Imp city.]

[Credits roll]

[Katie Killjoy appears on a live TV show with tom.]

Katie: Well let's talk about our latest story of four known demons in which three overlords Valentino, Vox and Velvet, and an overlord wannabe Sir Pentious, all four were taken down by a known human who fell into our world, Nathan!

Tom: Yes! And we were surprised to know about their recent defeat even when they are known as the overlords of Hell and to see another strong one go down to the garbage!

Katie: They must feel like a joke after their fates were sealed by a fucking cockroach.

[Two laughed hysterically on the news as a mysterious man in black watched.]

The man in black: You all failed me...for the last time. [The man was disappointed.]

Verosika: They were really fucking useless...very disappointing indeed. [Verosika spoke in disappointment of their loss.]

Fizzaroli: Well, that's just great, bunch of fucking jokers, these sooooo called overlords.

Asmodeus: That child must be taken...or HE WILL DIE SCREAMING. [Asmodeus is getting irritated.]

Man in black: No...There must be a way. [The man thinks.]

[Striker was sitting on a chair in the corner listening.]

Striker: Ohhhh don't worry boss...I know one person who can get the job done...besides...we have been experimenting with him...and I think he is ready. [Striker said sinisterly.]

Striker: Hey Silas! You have a job to do soon~ [Striker shouts]

[The mysterious demon Nathan talked with in Stupid Ville pulled up his hoodie revealing himself to be a red demonic panther holding a scythe behind his back.]

Striker: You know what to do! [Striker ordered.]

Silas: He can either comply with us...or die... [Silas said in an emotionless tone as he pulled out his scythe behind him.]
