NUUUUUU! Thanksgiving break is almost over but I haven't updated until now! Dang it, I am addicted to the Pokemon games!
Oh, and I have a question. Unless you guys want another story, this story will be the last about this particular part of Okami...
So, I am leaving it up to you guys. Another one after this, or Au Revoir to the tale of Kasai, Waka, and Waru, the insane family as we know it?
When Elizabeth looked over the edge of the volcano's hole, she tried not to gasp.
The hideout was nothing like she expected with the comic relief of Ōkami's imps, but instead she found the volcano filled with, not imps, but actual demons that people usually thought of when they heard the word... Unless they had played Ōkami, of course.
As she scanned the place, she saw shapes moving around made of dark matter with glowing white eyes and mouths glowing as well, opened into a cruel laugh; snakes of various sizes slithering around, covering the floor up completely because of their numbers; giant hellhounds who were solid but had oval, white eyes like the dark masses and teeth were the same color as its fur- a jet black that could never be pierced; even dragons flew in the confines of the volcano.
And, in the center of the crater in the volcano, was a machine.
It looked like it came from the Moon, for the metal resembled the Ark, but the glowing streaks were not there. Instead, the metal was dull, but there were darker places on the metal in such a pattern that the glowing parts should've gone there.
It was deactivated.
This machine... Elizabeth pondered, looking at the shape of it. The metal was mended in quite well with the walls of the volcano, a bit deeper into it. It had a dip in the metal, large enough for any demon to get through...
Wait... Any demon...
Elizabeth knew what it was. It was a highway for demons to come into the plain. A teleporter that was deactivated, but gave the vibe that it wasn't done yet...
Waka felt it. A tugging feeling inside him that told him something was wrong. Amaterasu and company had left a while ago, not long enough for them to get back... But, still...
Something bad was going to happen.
Suddenly, he realized something. The Ark! He gave himself a mental facepalm at the thought. He forgot to hide it! His brother could find the Plain that he had hidden from view after it fell so many years ago by deactivating the teleporter and activating non-lunar machines he had made to mask the area. It had worked... Until he had brought the Ark here. It was a big spotlight saying "Hey, we are right here! Please kill us all!"
And he had let the group go off on their own.
The sensors on the Moon caught something. The machine in the volcano caught the shapes of the two sun deities and the kid that joined them. Ugh.
Oh well, their loss. Now that the Plain's location was revealed, the old teleporter could be activated as the one the Oina was around when Waru activated it.
Then the sensors caught something else. Another figure coming to the volcano, one with a smaller figure with him, so small it took up only a couple of pixles.
His brother and the poncle were approaching. The prophet must've noticed his mistake.
But the foolish man had just made another. He was in range...
Waru pulled a lever. The teleporter roared to life, engulfing the demons, Elizabeth, the suns, the prophet, and the poncle in its light.
