The sound of the cars, honking and the sharp grinding of the tires fill the street. Just another night in the city. I am looking around the place, trying to understand what is the next target. The contractor told me about a demon, that is supposed to arrive here, and act upon a ritual. That is something I must prevent from happening. I took one cigarette from the pack, and lit it on the fire. Inhaling the smoke and looking around. Not long after the scar on the face started to swell. Something my late grandfather gifted me. Heh funny story about that. When I was a few years younger, he died from cancer. And I prayed to God to revive him. However, God did not answer my prayer. The devil did. Once my Grandfather was revived, he cursed me with ability to notice the presence of demons like him, trapped forever in this world. I killed him.... my own grandfather... when he came back to life. But in his dying breath, he told me to not let this happen ever again, and fight anyone, who would try to gather people to summon more sleeping souls, and use them as monsters, to take over the world. ... Yeah... There he is. The demon has arrived, and a young crying child is right besides him. Well it's time to act I believe. I dropped the cigarette on the ground and slowly approached the demon, who didn't seem to notice me yet, and took my gun out. "Hey Akuma. I think you are not supposed to be here. Let me help you return." And with a sharp movement, I shoot the demon in the head, with a holy silver bullet, which made the demon shatter into small dust, carried away by the wind. Leaving the child scared and screaming in hysteric fear. The people around by now should have called police to investigate. It's best if I leave the scene, otherwise I might get in trouble. However rumour has it that there are more than just me, walking around the streets. I just wonder, are they my friends... or foes

I watch my target get destroyed by another hunter and sigh. There's always trouble whenever another hunter shows up. I'm not out for a fight with someone who - understandably - doesn't believe I'm here to do the same thing. Just because I was created by the same evil that created the Akuma doesn't mean I wanted it. I was a priestess of the light when the Akuma took me back to their place of origin and gave me to the darkness. The pain was indescribable... I hold out my hand and utter a short incantation. Whisks of smoke condense above my palm into a baseball sized orb with black wings. I hurl it into the night, then sit back and wait on the rooftop. The scout finds its mark quickly and tails him, silently flitting from shadow to shadow to keep him in sight. Maybe I will be able to avoid a confrontation. Maybe. But it's doubtful. Maybe he can help me reclaim my soul. And destroy the monsters who mutilated it, defiled it, and made me into the same thing they are. I don't want to have to kill another hunter.

The scar started to glow once more, and the pain was way stronger than before. The swelling of the scar was even visible. However as the sirens were on the way, I had decided that it's not time to look for the monster. The girl was safe, and the contractor will be pleased. As I left the scene, the scar faded it's pain. Signalling that the monster was not around anymore. Back at the base, The contractor asked, if I had met anyone suspicious. Which struck me with a mild surprise. Was he aware about the strong monster around the place as well? "Excuse me? Do you know something that I should know too?" But the contractor did not reply to that question. Instead he gave me the next target. Leaving the contractors place, I looked around and tried to understand what is going on. There was no pain felt yet. So I was sure that the monster was not here. But.... he knew about something.

"he's at base." I mutter to myself, wondering if I dared go there again. The contractor had told me to make myself scarce, just to avoid conflict. A monster in a den of monster hunters was just asking for trouble. A hunter, on his own, would be easy prey. The darkness where my soul once resided longs for it, craves to be released again. Demands it. I clutch the ancient symbol on my pendant and send a prayer to the light. Only with her love and guidance am I able to supress the Akume, and preserve my mind. Well, that, and my own dogged determination to destroy this darkness from within. I knew, the moment they released me with my new excuse for a soul and I found my mind intact, that I was the perfect agent. I could be the key to ending the terror this plague of monsters brought to humanity. My human mind and body resisted the possession, fought back against the darkness. My human strength was all that kept my mind from being consumed. It was no surprise, then, that I wasn't trusted. After all, most hunters had something, some external influence to factor in their resistance. Mine was only my refusal to accept the darkness where I had already accepted the light. The contractor had explained that I was a liability. Any mission I was given was already jeopardized by my nature, and the fact that any hunter I encountered would see me as a threat. But he also saw my potential. I was one of them. I was able to walk among them, unhindered, unnoticed, and go closer than any hunter could to the source. They knew of me, of course. They had heard of my resistance. But they couldn't understand it, couldn't conceive of not giving in to the power, letting the taint destroy everything in them that was human. With a sigh, I stand and vault over the wall, dropping 30 stories to the ground below. I land in an empty alley and walk out to the street. The sun would be up soon, and travel would get difficult, at best. I needed to find somewhere to shut in.

As the morning sunshine vanquished the night. It felt like the right time for Kyle to go to sleep. He never had a home. He slept on the streets. But he didn't mind it. He embraced this new lifestyle. After all, he never cared about his life of health. His dream was to actually die. Having this curse to see spirits and to sense the demons. He had a way better life, before any of this happened. But he still remembers, that it was what he wished for. He was the one who prayed and wanted his grandfather to be alive. Eh what a selfish young man. Many other hunters were jealous of his ability to sense the Akuma. They couldn't tell them apart from regular people. Only except when they transformed themselves to the demon form. But Kyle could. And they were severely jealous. He would take most jobs, and get most money for killing those akuma. But others are sent to kill the easy hits. Or clean up the mess. Looking at the surrounding area, he found a nice corner, where he decided to lean into, and hide himself with some cardboard boxes, so no passerby would notice him. Every time he would go to sleep, he would see the exact same dream. About his grandfather, who looked at him, and asked questions, like how is he doing, or what is worrying him. It was as if, his grandfather was living together with him. At least someone who would love him and take care for all problems. But this night he was looking a bit concerned. This dream, his grandfather asked about the feeling of the demon. About how powerful it was, and how out of balance it was. As if something was building up but being held back by a force. And it would grow more and more. His Grandfather warned him that if something is not to be done about such demon. That when the collision might finally happen. He might actually blow up, or become a newborn. A type of demon, that is borderline impossible to kill. Before the dream ended, Grandfather told him, that maybe killing is not the only answer.
Those words stuck with Kyle as he laid down and continued to sit in his deep sleep. Thinking about what he met that night.

Lp:"rituals keep me human. I adhere to my rituals, and my humanity remains intact. Before, as a holy priestess of light, every sunrise was celebrated through ritual. Now, though the sun burns my body because of the darkness within, I embrace the pain. It is a small price to pay for a fleeting glimpse of what I hold onto. I stare defiantly at the rapidly lightening horizon, subtle whisps of smoke rising from my eyes. The sun peeks over the edge of the earth, it's blazing glory destroying the city skyline. I feel it's heat, it's purity, the life that it represents. It used to feel like bliss, it used to bring me closer to the light. Now I feel it as torment, as the same pain that I felt when my soul was rent from my being and this evil forced into the void left behind. I embrace the pain, grateful for the reminder of what I fight for. Grateful that the light has not abandoned me, just as I have not abandoned it. I reach toward to sun, smoke rising from my skin as it penetrates deeper toward the darkness inside. Finally, the sun fully risen, I fall to my knees, hugging my tainted body, and let out a desperate wail as I drag my ruined, tainted body to the safety and shelter of the shadows. Every morning is the same. I will not abandon the light. She keeps the darkness from taking me. She protects me. I will forever be her servant. I find a corner in the dark recesses of an alley, little more than a gap between two tall building. No light could touch this place, could warm the stone and metal that made this a haven for those who burn in the light. But for now, nothing but some garbage, cast aside by whomever saw no use for it, was all that resided in this space. I make my way to the very darkest corner and curl into a ball, fighting waves of nasea as the darkness within me surges, rippling through me to repair the damage done to my body. "Godess, help me!" I cry out, fighting to resist the tainted gift. Fighting to hold onto the pain that the light gifted me. But the darkness is persistent. "For the love of light, let me go!" I wail desperately. Finally, exhausted, my eyes close. I have no strength left to resist. Only the day keeps the evil from consuming me as I remain unconscious, fitfully tossing while I fight within myself in my dreams. Tears streaking my ash covered cheeks all the while. I never notice the other person in the alley, covered by cardboard and lost in his own dreams of what was lost."

The burning tension and pain woke me up. It was clear that something was there, haunting him. And that I am under severe danger. When I stood up and went one step forward and two backwards. The headpain was increasing as never before. Something, or someone was causing such a huge pain, that made keep barely keep myself on two feet. I took out my personal gun. M1911 loaded with silver bullets, ready to kill anything that was haunting me. But even if the headache felt bad. The next steps made the tension and pain more unbearable. The voices. Many voices, saying the same thing, over and over again. "Die... Die... DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!" I shoot the bullets all around the sky. Up and on the ground, but the voices stuck in place. All saying the same things. 'Let us in. Please die. Your time is running out "AAAAAAAAAA GET OUT OF MY MIND!" The evil presence was pushing me back. I barely could stand and fight against the force. The pain. The Terror. I just wanted to put the gun against my head and pull the trigger. I can't. The pain. "SHUT UP AND DIE!" I pulled the trigger, but unfortunately, there were no bullets left.

I wake up to gunshots and the sickening, oil-slick sensation of darkness enveloping my body. I scream, then heave as I taste the tainted presence. "Goddess of light, give me strength!" I plead, opening my eyes as I battle the darkness within me. I see and hear you, and see you put the gun against your head. I scream again. The empty click sounds loud in the sudden silence. Seeing someone try to take their own life gave me strength, my compassion for humanity overriding the corruptive influence attempting to consume me. That was enough for me to reclaim all the gain the monster had accomplished while I was briefly unaware. I feel it retreat, like shadows before the sun, to the recesses of my existence. To the part of me from which it has no control, where it resides and emanates its malicious intention to stain my sanity. It reduces, and reduces, and diminishes back until I have my mind and body once more. "Thank you goddess, your light is my strength!" I gasp, then push myself to my feet and stumble toward you to abruptly twist the gun from your hand. You still sense it inside of me, you feel it's proximity. But it barely bleeds through, and feels weakened, as if it were reaching from across dimensions. As my head clears and I can think more coherently, I drop the gun and draw a symbol of light across my chest, then yours, not caring that the sacred symbol glows red and smokes on my skin. "The light and love of the goddess embraces you, your life is precious! She weeps to feel your pain! Open your heart to her love, and she will take your pain and leave you life!" Another few moments pass before I recognize you, vaguely. I can't quite place your face. "Have we met?"

The sudden pain, of burning slowly went down, but it was still there, it was not gone.. It only was less present. He stood up and tried to gather his throughts back. The scar on his face was still freshly burning and his head was still hurting quite well. "Eh. No idea. Yet you smell like a demon." In quick reaction, he reloaded his gun and pointed it at her. "With a tingling suspicion, I think that in fact you are an Akuma. You can't fool me, honesty is what might save your life today." He looked at her and couldn't help but remember his grandfather's words about how sometimes killing someone is not the right way to fix things. And this case might be one of those. If she wanted to kill him, she could have done it while he was laying on the ground. "The name's Kyle. And you better remember that name. Tell me who are you, and what were you doing, that I nearly died to it." Kyle was straightforward with his questions. He had no time for games. As he knew that all akumas in a sense are nothing more than just time bombs.

I look down the barrel of the gun and laugh. "This is why I hate hunters!" I spit, moving with inhuman speed to disarm you abruptly and drop-kick the weapon. "I gave you a blessing of light," I point out, snapping with a sinister, demonic edge to my voice. "Don't you think I would have let you kill yourself if I wanted you dead?" As my anger flares, the strange quality accompanying my words increases. My voice no longer sounds like something that should come from a human throat. I hear this other voice and step back, taking a breath to calm myself and send a silent prayer to the goddess for patience. I clutch the pendant around my neck, squeezing it despite the singed smell and smoke that emits from my hand. "My name is Lana Pheonix. I am...was...a daughter of light." When I look at you my eyes flash darkly, the color seeming to shift with unrest before settling into a dark red that matches my hair. I stare defiantly at you, fully aware that any halfway competent hunter would call me a liar at this point. "Now I hunt the Akuma, same as you."

Placing the arm back into place, I look down at you and then on the ground where my gun was laying. I kneel down and with a careful movement pick it up, inspect the dress that you are wearing and then smirk a little. "Nice to meet you! Would you please be so nice and please return the knife?" During the swift attack, I was using my left arm placing a knife in your pocket, as a small friendly test to see, if I can manage to at least counter the fast speed attack. This small act had proven that in real combat situation even if you had managed to disarm me and snapped my neck, I would have pierced your body with the knife and inflicted some sort of damage, that you would have to walk around for days, up to weeks. Even if it wouldn't be lethal, it still would exist. The Blessing of the Light, while it was giving some kind of peace, it also came with a strong caviar. I didn't feel any headache at this moment. Nor the cursed screams of the spirits. But I heard something else. Something that is reminiscing a sound of a prayer. It was immersive and uneasy. But worst of all. It was blocking my sense of other Akumas around me. The prayer sounds were calm and sweet, yet oddly... unnerving. The words, let me die struck as something of a danger. Was she able to impact my weapon, and make it empty, or was it a pure coincidence.... I decided to ignore that for now. The Anger flares were felt in the prayer music, that would increase in tension. It was as if two opposing forces fought for their place at a host. Which after looking at your actions, made it clear that something, or someone is fighting for dominance, with whoever you are. "Lana, what a beautiful name for an Akuma. So you say you haunt Akuma, same as me. That's interesting. Yet... I believe you."
Placing the gun back into the pocket, I look around and then think about what should I do about you. I am somewhat at peace when I am with you, yet I am immobilised. I decide to play it cool, and not pretend to be weakened. I still hold my arm extended to get back my knife, which is actually quite important to me. It's a knife that I was given to by my grandfather.

Lana Phoenix BOT 08-Nov-21 06:14 PM
I hand you the knife, unconcerned by the damage a blade might cause. It would only last a night, then while I fell into unconsciousness, the darkness would knit my flesh back together. I knew this from repeated experience. I couldn't count how many times I'd tried to end this existence. But this hunter says he believes me! I caution myself to remain alert, despite that fact. Once you take the knife I quickly step back. I frown at you, looking you over carefully. "Thank you, it's the name I was given when I entered the temple." I say quietly. "Why did you try to kill yourself?"

Kyle BOT 08-Nov-21 06:43 PM
Now that she asks it, I think that really something was not right. Why was I so eager to kill myself. And what was it with that aura. Standing before her now, I start to feel the headache and the calm yet oddly welcoming presence of an Akuma, the one I had felt yesterday. "I just like trying to die. But more importantly. Yesterday I met you I think. When I killed that Akuma." I took one step forward and looked into your eyes "Why would my contractor send me to meet you?"

"The contractor is said to know all hunters. But no hunter knows more than his glasses" The closer I step to you the warmer the scar becomes and slowly starts to glow, until I feel something uneasy to happen. A sharp pain, which forces me to step back. In direct response to the pain, I pull out my gun. Ready to shoot

with a subtle flicker I crouch, becoming darkness as I launch at the Akuma. I transform as I impact its body, shifting to a similar form. My hands become tallon-like and pierce through it easily. It only takes a second for it to be ripped apart. I shake the pieces clinging to my hands off as the dissolve into ash and smoke with the rest of it. More smoke seems to pour from my body as i Revert back to my true form. It takes longer to come back to my form than it did to become like the monster. Coming back is a struggle, a battle for my body that I relish. It keeps my faith in the light strong, every time I push the darkness back and reclaim my human form. I turn to you without saying a word, waiting for you to react.

Kyle BOT 08-Nov-21 07:45 PM
"When you come to kill me, please come with that sexy ass, instead of the clawish body of yours. But indeed you are an Akuma. And a scary one as well" Sitting back on the ground and reavaluating his weaknesses and the fact that he, in the end of the day, is still only human, was a scary thought. "That might be a death worth taking tho. But... please don't do that anymore. I heard the screams again. Do you hear them too?"
Avatar
Lana Phoenix BOT 08-Nov-21 08:12 PM
"I am the one screaming, hunter. I scream for the light while the dark rips my soul from me." My voice, when I answer, sounds similar to the shrieking of the Akuma I just destroyed at first. As I speak it gradually returns to the same feminine, soft voice I spoke with before. "The light has saved me from becoming one of them. But at what cost? I live, hunter. My body lives, my mind is intact because my faith in the light...the goddess did not abandon me!" I choke back a sob, turning away from you. "The light did not abandon me, even as they ripped my soul from my bleeding, broken body. I clung to her in faith, and she did not let go. I remember every moment of it..." I struggle to talk about it, obviously, but you'd asked about the screams. As a priestess of the light I was oath bound never to lie, seek to deceive, or conceal truth. "The light is what still keeps the Akuma from taking me. I have no soul, hunter. It was taken from me. What I have in its place is a violent, merciless war between the light and the dark, with my body as the goal, the target, the battlefield. I get to be the victim and the Victor. And my only options are to continue to embrace the light, or give in to the darkness." "What would you do, hunter?" I ask you pointedly.

Kyle BOT 08-Nov-21 10:00 PM
The silence that filled the street was deafening. It was pronounced by the absence of any movement of the cars, or people. The street was all of sudden empty, as everyone most probably have gone to their work places. What would I do in this case....the question rises. A terrible fate that I would face myself. One that is indescribable by any words. The screams, the agony and the pain, that I felt. That I could taste, and it all is within the poor body of this Akuma. Yet she stands there, before him, profoundly strong and without any signs of giving up. "I... what would I do." No words could come out of my mouth. I stood there baffled by the question. I never thought about what the life would be like hearing those voices and screams in the heart of Akuma. They all cry out in terror, when they live. If one gives up, they don't just vanish. They are being torn apart by the very darkness and slowly being devoured. "Giving up is not what I would do...." What an easy thing to say, but what if it's extremely difficult to actually fight back. And what did she mean by the faith, by the Godess. He didn't sense any Godess inside of her. All he could sense is the darkness... But he could sense something else. As if there are remnants of a human spirit, still fighting back. Could it be that this is what she thinks of as Godess spirit. But alas he must not tell her. Otherwise she might loose the last hope, thinking that she's all alone in this world. "Lana. What you have to do... I mean... what I would do.." Again at loss of words. This is something he never faced before. He knew that all Akuma are ticking time bombs, and to deal with all that, he has to kill them. But this was something that he didn't know to respond to.
"Lana. I think we both know that at some point, you might reach your limit." Alright... what should I say now. Like seriously. She's crying and trying to hold up her spirits. But I just stand there. Think about how all akumas are the same. Pathetic in a sense. But something has to be done indeed I think for a moment, and then look over my pocket and search for something that I crafted a good while back... A Holy Lock.
---Information--- Holy Lock. A lock that is said to prolong the powers of self sustaining and keeping out the exterior Akuma spirits. It does not prevent the possible possession or capture. But it only prolongs it by taking all the targeted hits from the demons. In a result, the Lock itself takes the damage, and slowly cracks away, until it breaks. Upon possible breaking point, it sends final message to the original owner of the lock and warns them about the person being under threat. Normally Holy Lock is used to keep kids or those haunted by Akuma safe from the initial attacks. But for Lana's case, it may prolong her resistance to the possession.
I hand over the lock and look into Lana's eyes. "This will keep you strong. And when the time comes, and you are no longer able to fight back... I... I will be there to take care of what remains of you, so you don't become what you are fighting against."

Lp:"I take the lock, flinching as I touch it. A whisp of smoke rises from my hand. My face hardens, determination setting in, and I reach for the pendant on my chest, which also smokes when I touch it. I add the lock to the necklace, then tuck it inside my shirt. I angrily brush my tears away and regard you gravely for a moment. "I have a purpose, hunter. The light holds onto me for a reason. My suffering is not without purpose. Every moment I fight, and endure, is crafting me into the perfect champion for light. Every pain I endure strengthens me, pushes me to my goal." "The dark will not win this battle. I will destroy the darkness, and take back my soul. The light is my strength, and I have won my body, and continue to win my body every day so that I may avenge my soul." I pause, collecting my thoughts, and take a breath before I continue. "I have hope that by destroying the source of this evil, I may regain my soul. I know it isn't likely. But it's my hope. Possesion of my soul is only a secondary goal, though. It may be impossible. I will find out when I have the ashes of this taint crushed in my hand." After another moment of silence, I look up and smile at you. "Then I will prove that even at my darkest hour, I am not this thing that seeks to consume me. I will give this evil a clean end. I will not see it suffer, as I have. I will not prolong this revenge. I will not let cruelty drive my hand. For mine is the hand of the light, and the only mercy that can be given this corruption is a clean end. Something it is incapable of offering its victims." I step back, moving further into the alley as bright daylight slowly creeps toward me from the mouth of the alley. "I cannot endure the light of the sun, hunter." A bittersweet sadness crosses my face as I contemplate the sunlight with longing. "The light has given me the option of a true death, you know. All I need do is let the light destroy me. My body will become ash. And i will cease to exist. Only my soul will be lost. No different than it is now.""

I just stand there, look at Lana, as she leaves the light place and heads into darker spots. But I am certain that the day she talks about, when she dies from the sun is not this day. It's instead a far of day, that might not come. The holy lock, that I have given to her is something I think quite important to keep, after all it's what will keep her safe and it's not like I care about her fate, but there was something that made me reconsider my own life, and the many struggles that come after it. A fate worse than death eh? Who knows what it might be. But the day is still bright, so it's best if I go and have some rest. The demons only appear after midnight, so the day is completely free for me to go and rest. The continuation of the sleep was not calm. I had to process everything that I was told by her. And it made me actually think about weather or not the fact that I am mercilessly killing these monsters is the right thing. A small doubt arises. But this was so complicated. I can't think of anything else. But then as I fell back into deep sleep. A nightmare struck me, making me jump up and look around, scared for my safety. I saw the Akuma. And not just any Akuma, exactly my Grandfather's Akuma.
Feeling that it's time for me to get some walk, and it's already evening. The cars were profoundly louder and the evening city life had returned. However instead of relief something was wrong. I didn't feel Akuma's presence. Instead I felt something that was far ahead and beyond. In response to this, the spirit of my grandfather materlialised behind me, placing his arm on my shoulder, to hold me in place. I knew what is coming up. This was not a simple chitchat that was about to happen. Normally my Grandfather wouldn't materialise himself to help me, because of how terrifyingly difficult it was, and how it would impact his own life and banishment from the afterlife for just as many years, as many minutes he would stay in a visible form for the praying eyes to see. But this was different. I stood there, in the dark alley and listened to the steps, that came from the far ahead road, where a single man was slowly approaching both of us. I stood firm and looked up at the man, nodded and then in a calm expression said. "Father...."

I see you still keep persisting and ruining my plans. You are just as pethetic and cowardly as my father was. I am even ashamed to call you that. Father. Or rather. Patricide.

"He told me everything already! Everything about why he had to do what he did!" I just stood there, trying to defend the honnor of my grandfather even tho, he indeed was the one who killed his own father.... My Grandfather was unable to speak, as he was cursed, so if he wanted to say anything, he had to say it through me. I listened calmly to his message and then gave it to my father.

"SILENCE! DO NOT COMPARE ME TO THAT OLD FART! He was weak. That is why he was killed by that traitor son! I am not weak. Listen here my boy. Together, we can rule the world! All I ask is that you abandon that old fart's wishful spirit, let it rot on the land of the damned, and join me." I extended my arm to my only son. I know that he would accept it. He is the only man who would never turn his weapon against me. I was the one who was rising him. I defended him from all people who had hurt him. If only not for my father. Then I would have had full trust of my son. "Together! Like father and son! Our powers will be rivaling that of the God himself!" No answer, he didn't even think about it. That damn old fart! He did this to my only son! I can't forgive him. "If silence is your answer! Then death shall be the correct answer!" I took my sword and pulled it into the right pose to fight my own son. I can't do anything about it.... BUT HE BETRAYED ME!!! ....are those... realy my true feelings?

My father casted some kind of spell, placing a barrier between his body and me. I try to hit him as hard as I can, but nothing happens. I can't beat it down. But my father in response took the sword and sliced my left arm. That makes it clear. He can hit me well, but I can't... What should I do.... I don't know. As I pierced the sword right through my father's torso, the sword seemed to barely scratch him, and the barrier... my grandfather told me at this moment that the barrier seems to be slowly shattering. I continued to hit and hit. But I can't inflict any damage. But then... the sound of glass shattering seemed to fill the area as if something broke into pieces. At that moment I struck the sword into father's torso and pulled out my gun, shooting 11 round bullets into his body. All hitting him.

dying sunlight filters through to lay long, distorted shadows on the ground. I keep to the shadows carefully, wondering why I'm even going this way. Perhaps I'll find that hunter... Fool, I chastise myself, he would kill me as soon as look at my. But why couldn't I get him off of my mind? Did he really hear the screaming? ⁹] I see shadows gathering, showing me where the thing was manifest as Akuma. I start to run, and in just a few steps I'm darting from point to point, even over the very heads of passersby. I don't know why I'm moving this fast, what could give me this sense of urgency. I slow down as I see a figure huddled on the ground. I recognise him, it's the hunter! "You are hurt badly!" I say as i near you and kneel. I grab your shirt an tear a large piece off, wad it up, and press it over your wound

"I thought you didn't want me to change around you." I say. As I speak my voice changes and shadow plays under my skin. I turn, snarling, and rush the nearest Akuma, driving my fist through its torso, leaving a gaping hole through it. The second Akuma tries to get to you while I'm distracted. I drop the first to the ground and crush its head under my foot as it turns to ash and smoke. I lunge toward the second Akuma, landing on its spine and slamming it to the ground with a demonic shreik that cuts off as the rounds you'd fired, intending to hit the monster, tears through my body instead

I barely still have any strength into this, but the moment my bullet had hit Lana, I stand up and make sure that remaining bullets are hitting the akuma, who is fighting Lana. Once the creature dies. I go up to Lana and see what is going on. "Well Shit. I didn't want this to happen. These bullets are indiscriminate killers. Please stay strong. I don't know how to heal from this. GRR."

"it's not the first time I've been shot, hunter." I laugh, the demonic edge to my voice more pronounced. Blood and smoke pour from the wound in my side, with a sickening, crackling, burning sound and smell. I grimace, pain, sweet, familiar pain coursing through me. I embrace it, harness it, and use it to once more fight back the taint that would. Take over if I let it. I shift back to my true form slowly. I scream, curling around the wound in my side protectively, my hand pressed over it. When I finally stop screaming my hand falls away from the wound, revealing fresh pink scar tissue and a lead bullet that falls to the ground. "They won't let me die that easy. The dark and the light. They keep my body alive. The dark won't let me die until it can consume me. The light won't let me die until the dark has been purged from me." I pant, sitting up slowly. "But fuck, it hurts."

"Yea... fuck that, you aren't going to move now." I say as I pull your body up into my arms and hold onto you. "Hey, you can fight back as much as you want, I am not backing away, so you best put your arms around my neck." I say as I move through the street, despite having an injured left arm. I endure the pain. After all I am a man. My Grandfather just chuckled in my mind, telling me that it's curious how I am saving a life, or rather, taking care of an Akuma. After a few steps. I look around, think about what I am doing. This isn't something I've ever done. But then I come to a consensus, that it's me repaying her for saving my life. "You know. You are actually a little bit heavy. Is it another thing that has something to do with you being an Akuma, or is it just your big breasts, weighing you down?"

Lana Phoenix BOT 09-Nov-21 12:07 PM
"I can walk," I say defiantly, managing to jab an elbow against the spear would as I work my way out of your arms. "But you shouldn't. Look, I was a priestess of the light, I'm a trained Healer. Let me tend your wound." I choose to ignore the comment about my breasts. Flirting, lewd comments, aren't something I know how to handle. First a priestess, then a monster, I have had very little experience with sexuality. "There's a good place to stop over there, look, there's a bench." I head in that direction without waiting for a reply, hoping you follow.

Kyle BOT 09-Nov-21 12:11 PM
"Whatever you say miss." I slowly follow and think about my own healing methods, just in case Lana's attempt fails. The blood is going quite well and the wound actually hurts more than it should. But something about Lana was uneasy. She acted all strong and powerful, yet she's still wounded by a deadly bullet. Best would be to not get in her way. But one thing I know I will do. And it's to put her in a rest after she tended my wound
Avatar
Lana Phoenix BOT 09-Nov-21 12:26 PM
I lift your shirt and examine the wound in your torso. When I prod the area around it, no foul smell emits from it, meaning your intestines are still intact. You got lucky. I have nothing to clean it with, so I make sure there is no obvious debris in the wound before I take your bloody, torn shirt and tear it into strips to wrap around you as bandaging. Once finished, I clutch the light amulet and lock around my neck and pray. As I pray my hand smokes, thicker and thicker, tendrils of Black, acrid smoke rise from the amulet clutched in my hand. With a sigh, I finish my prayer and stare at you, a confused expression on my face. "I don't even know if my prayers work, anymore. I feel the light in me, I feel her presence. But...I feel the dark, too."

Kyle BOT 09-Nov-21 12:42 PM
The wound did not heal, but something made me feel uneasy. I looked at Lana more closely with my cursed eye, that allowed me to see the true spirit of the Akuma. And sure enough, her true spirit was getting really weak. It seemed that the demonic spirit had taken an upper hand over her self, but she is yet to notice it. I knew what I must do now. There was no time to ask for anything, I simply pulled your body up close and looked for the holy lock, that I gave you. I pressed against all areas, where you could have placed it. I didn't care where I was touching or not, as it didn't matter now. I finally could sense that it's tucked inside your shirt, so I push my arm right under your shirt and try to grab it. Whatever you might try to do, I just force my arm around, until I could sense the Lock. I pull it out, unlock it and warp it around you right arm. Despite any attempt, or pain that I feel, I just know that this has to be done now. I feel so guilty for doing this damage to you, that I just start to get stressed. "This lock. I gave it to you for a reason, why didn't you ever put it on. You don't just carry it around. It has to be put on if you want to actually survive, you idiot...." I push the lock all the way down, and seal the spirit, that is still staying around and fighting the darkness of the Akuma. As soon as the seal is placed, the lock starts to crack immensely. But after a few seconds, the cracking stops.
Avatar
Lana Phoenix BOT 09-Nov-21 12:54 PM
I don't scream as the lock is put in place, despite the surge of pain. Pain is no stranger. I embrace it, keep it close, like a lover. Pain is the proof that the goddess is alive inside of me, and the strength I use to hold back the Akuma. I examine the lock, raising it to my eye level to look closely at the cracks. As I look one crack grows, just a tiny bit. "It won't last long." I observe. "Will it last through my transformation? When I use the Akuma inside of me?"
Avatar
Kyle BOT 09-Nov-21 01:02 PM
"The holy lock is not made to keep your spirit in It's made to protect people, who are on grain of being posessed. So to answer your question.... I don't know.... but... may I ask just one thing of you? Don't transform." Feeling that I might some day not have the chance to do this, I just take a quick shoot and kiss your lips. "Now then I guess I have no regrets even if I die from that wound. But yes, you can't heal me unfortunately"

Lana Phoenix BOT 09-Nov-21 01:10 PM
your request leaves me shocked, but not as much as the kiss. I blush and raise my hand to my lips, trying to process what just happened. Slowly my thoughts come together. "Wait, I must transform! How will I kill the Akuma if I don't transform?" I respond, "and, why did you do that?

I look at you with my cursed eye and notice that there is a bigger light spark, that slowly faded away. It was staying there longer and seemed to come from bright emotions. "well uhh..... Please try one more time and heal my shoulder. I can't stand it anymore." I wait for Lana to heal me again. And when she does, I am ready to kiss her. If needed to be, even a french kiss *

Lana Phoenix BOT 09-Nov-21 01:18 PM
"you want me to pray?" I mutter. Without hesitation I clasp my light amulet, which smokes as soon as I touch it, and lay my other hand over your wound. I close my eyes and lower my head, beseeching the light to heal you, focusing entirely on my prayer.

Kyle BOT 09-Nov-21 01:24 PM
I can see it the spirit using itself up, looks like I have to do it. I push your body up against mine and say "Keep praying. Don't stop" And then I push my lips against yours for a prolonged kiss. I try to keep it sweet and calm, but as thr prayer continues, I move forward with a deeper kiss, pushing tongue all the way, touching yours, and the sound of light increases. Once the healing is done, I look ibto your eyes, saliva dripping from my mouth and looking at your spirit. Bright and pure, but the darkness slowly creeps back in.

Lana Phoenix BOT 09-Nov-21 01:32 PM
my prayer is the only thing I could keep in my mind As your kiss warms me all the way to my toes. You kiss me deeper and I struggle to remember the words, almost forgetting entirely. As you invade my mouth with your tongue I can no longer pray, only hope it was enough as my hands move to wrap around you. The amulet falls to my chest, and you pull away. "Oh!" I breathe, face flushed and lips wet with saliva, slightly open as I gaze at you. I lower my hands, but make no effort to move away. "But...why did you do that?" I ask quietly again. I want to ask if you will do it again, but I can't bring myself to say the words.

I move around my left arm and feel pretty good. The scar is gone and pretty much no pain. "Thanks for healing. That was really helpful of you." I then look at you and realize that maaybe it worked not just for that reaso alone. And now I have to answer for what I've done "Say, what do you feel right now?" I place my hand on your cheek and look into your eyes. What I see is something closer to human than a human. And my grandfather too tells me that something is different

I meet your eyes, holding your gaze for a moment. I almost ask, but can't bring myself to do it. My eyes drop from yours as I blush. "I feel..." I contemplate why you asked me that. You mean the Akuma, of course, I tell myself. Then I realize a surprising fact. "Distant, it feels distant! And it doesn't hurt!" I lay my hand over yours against my cheek, looking at you again with something like awe. "It must be the lock!

"You haven't slept in a long time. I guess you should rest. I will make sure that you are safe and fine." I warp my arms against your waist and legs, hold you into my arms, kiss your cheek and start to walk in the direction of the park "I had a good rest. So I think you should too."

Lana Phoenix BOT 09-Nov-21 09:29 PM
fear flits across my face for an instant. I twist around and wrap my arms up over your neck. "I'm fine, really, I don't...sleep well..." I say weakly. I know I'm exhausted, I must look like it. I usually avoid sleeping until I can't anymore. "I have nightmares," I admit, "and I don't know what happens when I sleep. I've woken up with the Akuma..." I leave my sentence unfinished and let my head rest against you. It occurs to me that it might make a perfect excuse for you to kill me. "Who will protect me from you, Hunter?" I ask quietly.

Kyle BOT 09-Nov-21 09:46 PM
"I'll protect you." I say and then place my lips on your cheek, to make sure that you fall asleep At that moment my Grandfather asks me something that makes me think about it. 'Aren't you enjoying this too young lad? Giving kisses to Akuma and then getting healed. Now even feeling her soft body just living there next to you, her soft yet calm breathing. I know she is feeling sweet and calm. But what about you?' Me? I didn't think about that. Tho I admit that I was thinking that it all feels really nice and well... Tsk fine, yes she reminds me her. You win. She reminds me that cute girl at the church that I failed to save. She was really cute and had a nice smile. I liked her too. The grandfather's spirit then thought about it and then looked at Lana's spirit. 'I think she won't have any nightmares if you stick with her. Your gentle warmth should be enough. The light is contained well with the lock, so her sweet emotions are not fading away as fast. And with more light, more strength comes, and less chaos and fighting, as the Akuma spirits, are kept at least a good distance away.' I place Lana's body on the bench, and make sure that she's laying on my jacket, all warped around warmly. Then I place her head on my legs and decide to stay as a night watch. I look at her peaceful and calm face and then something else crosses my mind, but I just try to ignore that. A small laughter is heard from my grandfather, but I don't care as much, as I too pass out for a few minutes. When the night gets to around 2 in the morning, I have had slept for about 6 hours by now. And I realise something warm is at my arm. During my sleep it seems that my arm has been snuck inside her chest,all they way touching the skin. Lana's waking up and Grandfather is just having a good laugh as a good show might show up now.

I wake up slowly, not wanting to return to consciousness yet. I was dreaming about something nice, for once. I turn without opening my eyes, a smile on my face. Then stop, confused by the awkward way my clothes are pulling. My eyes snap open as I realize there's a hand at my breast! I see you and blush crimson, not sure what to do or say. What's more confusing is, i seem to like it, it feels nice. "I - !!" I try to think of what to say, but only manage to blush more.

"Uhh... my hand got cold soo.... I waned to warm it up." 'There, best excuse you could think of. Eh?' I pull the hand out of your shirt and then just wait for you to stand up. I didn't know what to say now. As something changed. I saw you as a girl, instead of just some Akuma. Things had changed rapidly over the short amount of time. "Uh... did you have a good rest?"

I sit up slowly, still blushing. I push my long, straight red hair back behind my ears, keeping my eyes on the floor except for an occasional glance at you. "I had good dreams." I say, "it's been a long time since I had good dreams." I reach over and slip my hand in yours, lacing my fingers through yours. I blush even more, but don't let go. "Thank you hunter. For watching out for me."

"No... problem... yea." I say a bit awkwardly as I look up in the sky. Enjoying the peaceful and silent night. It was calm and refreshing, after the constant battles and wars that have been going on lately. I knew that this is just a temporarily peace. Yet it was a moment that I too wanted to enjoy. "You know... I can see the spirits of Akumas, and when I look at you, I see a lot of light, brightness and shine. It doesn't mean that you are healed, but it means that you area stronger now."

the light!" I exclaim, squeezing your hand tight. "The goddess is always with me. I know she is, I can feel her. Only..." I frown, confused, "I can feel her through the pain. The pain of the goddess fighting the evil. It's always there, constantly. Only, right now..." I glance at you, then move closer, moving our hands to my lap and placing my other hand over them. "Right now it doesn't hurt, hunter. I have no pain." I feel uneasy about this. The pain has always been how I knew the light was still within me, still fighting the Akuma. I'd always thought that if the pain was gone, then the battle was ended, or the light had given up on me. I still feel the Akuma, like an oily skin of pollution, only deeper. The Akuma was all that was left where my soul had once been. The goddess could only keep my body safe, my soul was gone to wherever souls went when the darkness stole them. I look at you secretly from the corner of my eye, barely turning my head. Even with the scar marring your eye, you are attractive. More than that, you are a hunter, meaning you are strong, and determined, and you fight to protect people from darkness. "You are a good person, Kyle. The goddess is with you, too. The light protects you. As long as you fight for the light, the light will not abandon you. Even when all around is darkness, the light will shine forth from within you." I bring your hand to my lips and kiss the back of it, then lower it to my lap again.

I must have fallen asleep too, I think to myself, and had a nightmare of my own. It left me with a ...pulling, a longing, I want to go to it. I want to go badly. And at the same time it terrifies me. I want to run screaming from this feeling. It's not me that wants to go. It's the Akuma. "Goddess!" I cry out, falling to the ground and clutching my amulet as I feel the dark taint surge against me. The lock cracks, then cracks again. The pain explodes, all throughout my body, and deeper than my body. "Oh, goddess!" I gasp, shadow rippling under my skin as the lock shatters. I fight back, refusing to let the Akuma, angry at being held back by the lock, take over. But the urge to go, to answer the summons, is powerful. The pain is how I know the light is still within me. I cling to it, use it to strengthen my will. I cry out again as the Akuma fights harder. The demonic voice of the Akuma issues from my mouth. The amulet of light burns into my hand. I can't let doubt in my mind, the moment I do the Akuma will win. It was so close to morning, I only have to last until the sun! "Kyle!" I cry out, my voice my own for a moment, "kill me if it wins!" I plead desperately. Inhuman laughter rings through the park. Four Akuma step out from the trees and stop to watch me struggle

The first shoots just made the Akumas laugh and stand there, laughing at the desperate attempt at saving a soul. However I do not give up. I hold my weapon firmly and shoot a few more bullets, to make sure that these things are far away. Using the smoke bomb, I try to distract them and point at the opposite direction. But they can feel her. I know that I must kill these things, before I can continue to save Lana. I pull out my sword and head for a melee combat. The fiercest Akuma steps forward and with a single swing kicks me to the side, freeing path to Lana. However I know that this is just the beginning. I take my gun and shoot several straight bullets at the Akuma, blasting his insides, making him shatter into thousands of dust particles. The remaining 3 akumas, turn around and walk towards me, they only have two thoughts in mind, bring her to master, and to kill the boy, who gets in the way. I know that nothing else is there to keep them back. Their eyes are full of evil and intent to kill. "LANA! I am coming! STAY STRONG!" I scream at the top of my lungs, while I rush at the Akumas, trying my best to defeat the fiends. One of the Akumas managed to pierce my stomach, making blood come out of me. However this made him trapped, giving me the chance to unload a bullet right in his forehead.
As the battle continued, I look at the remaining two akumas, who went for a pincer attack. Rushing full speed. To avoid the impact, I rolled on the ground, making them kit each other. Giving me a final chance to plant a bomb on the ground and blow them into pieces. But the main issue was still at hand, Lana was still in pain and suffering. I know that I must do something, but I didn't know what. The lock works the best, when it's placed with the brightest emotions. After all, it's original purpose was to keep wives safe at home, while the hunters went to kill the Akumas. Grandfather told me an idea, which I didn't like, but it was no choice. The path to Lana was now filled with screams and Agony. I couldn't get close to her. She was like a demon now. Barely keeping her own spirit as whole. It was being devoured from all sides. And it seemed that she will loose in a few moments. Tears rise in my eyes as I jump right at her and give her a kiss with tears in my eyes. I can't do anything anymore. But the kiss itself, even if it could reignite the spirit, it was no longer enough. I pulled her body up and rushed to the only place I could call home. The small house, where I used to live with my grandfather. "Hold tight Lana. Just a little longer"

I hear gunshots, but they seem far away. I have to fight the Akuma, it takes everything in me to keep it back. It wants to answer the summons, it wants to go with the rest. I have to hold onto the light! "Hold tight Lana. Just a little longer" I know that voice. It reminds me of how it felt when he kissed me. It reminds me of falling asleep in his arms. Of holding his hand. A surge of strength pushes back against the Akuma, forcing it back, letting my mind fill with that other feeling. I will fight it, for as long as I can, Kyle! Please hurry! I use this new feeling as a shield, blocking the Akuma from tainting the deepest parts of my mind. It cannot have this feeling. I won't let it take that away!

The Agony. But I don't want to give up, I can't. I don't want to. As I run. I hold tight, pull your body close to me and look at your face. I can sense the terror. They eyes are changing, becoming Demonic. The Scream becomes so sharp, that it makes my ears nearly die. I feel pain. Something tells me to just drop you and just leave you. But I can't. I continue to rush. "Lana, don't give up. Don't leave me alone." I say as I cry for help, for any force to keep me going. And I take each step. I try to run as fast as I can. I don't want to give up. I run and run.... On the street, there are many people who are getting into the way, but I spread them apart with my gunshots. They get scared and move aside. After getting over the street, and having heard many roars of the car sirens, and Police sirens in the distance. I continue to rush. I don't want to give up, I continue to rush to the home. I need to get there, before it's too late. My heartbeat becomes faster and faster, as I move forward. I continue my rush. I don't want to give up... Not yet. I take each step forward and just continue to run. Each step is now filled with agony and pain. But there it is, in far distance, the home of my grandfather. As I get closer. I become weaker and weaker. Until I reach the doorstep. Now only the terror is heard. And my heart is filled in despair, as if I can't make it in time....

I shelter behind the shield of light, the good, kind feeling, the something that is stronger than the Akuma. The Akuma rages, throwing everything it has into trying to break through. I watch with a strange detachment. I know it can't break through. I know it will never break through. I want to tell you, to share this wonderful discovery. I to let you know I'm still here, safe, even if the Akuma takes my body. It takes everything I have to reach my self, to take back what the Akuma has claimed in its rage. But I finally break through enough to see you. I see you struggling, running, carrying me somewhere. I see your pain, and blood, and how desperately you want to save me. My heart breaks, and the shield between myself and the Akuma flashes like lightening. The Akuma retreats, running from this powerful light. "Kyle!" I whisper, slowly coming into my body as the Akuma leaves it empty. "Kyle!" I need you to hear me, and look at me, and see the Akuma weakening. I need you to make it, because I think I know what that shield is, and if I'm right, I need you more than anything else in the world.

I bring your body inside the house and place you on the couch. Look right into your eyes and kiss your lips. I feel exhausted. Tired... And barely keeping myself together... Yet the battle ahead. It's full of one big challenge
I look into your eyes, filled with fear. I hear you whisper something, but I can't hear it, your voice is so weak, that it barely makes any sound

Looking over Lath's body, I think about what to do next. Her spirits are quite down and I think about it for a moment. The old clock that was moved by a spring had stopped. It didn't count any time. Making the room filled with silence. Grandfather decided to materialise and moved to the clock, opened it. Loaded the spring and then moved the pendulum. Making the clock slowly to start ticking. The silence was finally broken by the clock ticking, and the hour was making it's ringing as it was already 4 in the morning. One ring, followed by the second one, then the third one, and finally the fourth ring was set. The time was not four in the morning. I looked over to Lana's body and how she barely could move. She was breathing heavily and the screams and voices began to return. Despite her high spirits, the lock was not in place, making her spirit being torn apart and eaten. "Lana.... I really wish there was something I could do to save you... I don't know what should I do." Then Grandfather approached me and told me some words about what is it that I have to do. He told me that the original purpose of the holy lock was to defend the loved ones and that it's best effect was from the times it was made, and it's intended purpose in reality, when a couple made love to each other. This had made the bond extremely strong, as exactly this bond was what made people feel as one. They are united in all meanings of the word. Their hearts are united. Their bodies are united. Their minds are united. They feel the same. And it all is only possible, because of the purity and true spirit of the process. I was really getting nervous about this. I've never made love to anyone and I have no idea what it means. I look at Lana, I know that I want to help her. Yet I am unsure, if that is the right thing to do. What if she hates me... what if she doesn't feel the same... what if... Many thoughts come to my mind. But Grandfather tells me..
Grandfather tells me that I must hurry. Her time is not given as much as it seemed. It was a matter of life and death for her. And if I wouldn't act now. Then I would doom her for eternity. The thought itself of making love with Lana... The purest being I know to this day. And even the memory of how she reacted to having received a kiss was something that made my bones shiver. A cold chill entered my body now. I was not ready for this. I did not expect this to happen so soon... and to be honest, I never expected this to happen at all. But there I was looking at the girl. I was thinking that this is something I must do... But.. how do I start. I don't know. "I need a fresh air." I walk outside of the house and look at the street. The night was still young and the streets were empty. I looked over to myself thinking about what a coward I am in reality. I can't do something so easy. It's not really that I don't want to, but rather. I am afraid of the consequences. If I do it to her. What will she think about me. Taking advantage of her when she's at the brink of death. Honestly, who prepared me for this. I am not ready. I never am ready for anything. This is just too much for me. My heart even started to race faster as the time went on. The more I wait, the weaker she becomes. If I wait too long, she might die. I can't just do it. I am afraid. I start to break down and cry. I just can't do it when she hasn't said that she wants it from me. I don't want to. What am I, a monster, just like those who take advantage of people who are sleeping? NO! I AM NOT! But... She is helpless. She might die. I just don't know what to do with myself. Looking back at the door. I can hear Lana's breathing become more and more heavy. The screams are getting more and more pronounced, as her spirit is being torn appart. Yet there I am standing, at the entrance, looking at her. What a weak coward I am in reality. I can save her from suffering, but I can't do it.
I pull out one cigarette and light it on fire. Taking a deep breath, filled with nicotine and smoke, I fill my lungs, full of the extract, that slowly calms me down. My hands and legs are shaking. I can't get the fact out of my mind. I really want to do it, yet I can't bring myself to. What am I thinking me wanting to do it? I... I.. I do. I want to save her. I want to see her smile. I remember how she smiled when I kissed her. She has the most beautiful smile in the world. I've never before seen anything more beautiful than that. The cigarette was almost finished. I drop it on the ground, and extinguish the flame with my boot. Turn around and walk back inside. My eyes are only focused on Lana. She is laying there, over at the couch. Weak and almost as if in tears. I can't bear to see that sad sight. I close behind myself the door and walk right up to her. Look into her face and see the pain that she's suffering. It's heartbreaking. But I can't step back now. I take her body in my arms. Hold tightly on it. She is really heavy, but at the same time rally soft. I just want to hold her like this. Feel the warmth and softness of her spirit. She is strong, as she has made it this far, but she can't continue this fight alone. I look at the staircase, that leads to the second floor, where the bedroom is, and determination fills my heart. I take one step at the time and feel as my insides are shivering in terror and fear. I don't know what might happen to me, but I can't back now. I've made a decision. I am going to be with her, and fight that demons that are within her own soul. Each step that I take, becomes more and more difficult. Not because of Lana, but instead, because of me being so nervous and indecisive, that I just feel that I could just give up, drop her and just wait for it to go away. Please just go away. I don't want to do this to her. But it just keeps getting worse instead.
"I approach the door, to the bedroom, and using my leg, push it open. In the opposite side of the room, a kings size bed is set, the place where I place down Lana's body. She is still breathing and barely keeping her spirit up. But I feel that it's not going to last any longer. I look at her body, all breathing and moving in heavy manner. This is what tells me that it's about the time that I do, what I must do.* I stand up from the bed, and look over to the shelf, where a few locks are placed. I look closely at it and think about what it really means to lock someone. It oddly enough is similar to a proposal in a sense. But I don't know how to react to that. I don't care if it makes me her only one or anything else. I just wish for her to be safe and whole. Taking a few steps, holding the lock in my arm, I just feel an extreme fear and self doubt. Am I really ready to do this? I just can't get it out of my mind. I just.. The whole premise makes me so nervous so worried. I just think that if I am going to do it, then she will hate me for all of eternity. She is after all a being of purity. And I am going to take away the purity from her, like a monster that I am. Yeah... I am a monster after all. Grandfather just silently listens to my thoughts and then decided that enough is enough. He materialised and appeared before me, slapping my face and then saying words into my eyes. 'Look! The girl that truly loves you is dying, and you can't even answer her feelings by saving her? Listen, nobody will hate you. She knows what is going to happen to her. So best you can do is to accept the feeling and answer them. If she didn't want it, do you think she would have fought back for this long!'
I...I finally understand. I know what I must do. I... I feel so fresh and full of determination. I approach Lanas body and look right at her face. The pure face that makes me feel something. I lean over and kiss her lips. Giving the kiss gives me determination and I decide, it's time.
I take off my jacket and the trousers. After that, I take off my shirt and just leave the underwear on. Holding the lock in my arms, I lean over and slowly pull off Lana's dress from her, exposing her pure body. My mind gets all hot, with the sudden blood rush. I reach down and move her panties aside, exposing her special place, where I am going to do the thing. I lean over to her. Kiss her lips and pull down my pants. Exposing the crotch, which is ready and hard for the job. Taking it slowly I push the very tip against her place and as I find the right spot. I slowly and gently push it all the way in. As I have done the penetration, I can feel something flow by, and my thoughts are that this indeed is her first time. The blood was spilling all over and the aroma, filled the room. At this point, the holy Lock started to glow, and when I applied it to her arm. It started to glow in golden colours. My feelings are pure, They give the lock half of the shine. What only matters is now, what are Lana's feelings towards me.

I can feel, and I know it's because Kyle is holding me, helping me, saving me. The shield I just behind grows brighter and brighter. When Kyle kisses me, undresses me, I push at the Akuma. I must be here, I must be with him for this! I must be with - "Kyle!" I cry out, all my senses returning to me as I take my body back. I put my arms around him and hold him close, feeling his body shaking with mine. "It's OK, Kyle, its ok!" I say quietly in his ear. I feel a pain, inside, and full. I take a breath, moving to be more comfortable. "It feel good, Kyle, it feels so...so good! I want this, Kyle I love you!" I can only hope he believes me, because I've never felt I loved some one before. It feels good, it feel incredible. I look at Kyle and kiss him. Not like before. My lips open and I taste him slowly, holding myself against him.

My spirit was firing high, he finally felt the warmth and peace. He continued to move inside of Lana as the spirit inside of him was in flames. I felt happiness, pleasure and pure feeling that he had never experienced before. I felt that the bond is locked. There was no way back now I was feeling the grace of the whole event. And I felt that it was all good with Lana, as she's bright as a living holy spirit. Even the Lock itself had became like pure gold. As she said that she loves me... I knew... I've done the right thing, and... I've locked myself. Now I could feel her spirit, and her feelings. It was broadcasting to me through the lock. And when I lost my concentration, I felt something... odd. And before I realised what it was, I had finished inside of Lana.

I don't let go of him, wanting to keep him near, to keep this feeling of right. To keep our bodies close together. I tremble as I trace small shapes on his skin with my fingertips. I smile at him, taking in every detail of his face. It's over, can no longer be a priestess of the light. But I do not feel that the light has abandoned me. I feel her rejoice, celebrate the love we shared. "Thank you, Kyle." I say, surprised by how shaky my voice is. "I am happy it is you."

I was looking a bit relieved that Lana was feeling fine. It was refreshing, but the words.. I am happy it is you struck as a bit strange.

I look at you curiously, a small frown creasing my forehead. "I can no longer be a priestess of the light. But It's OK. The goddess is still with me, and I have something even stronger to fight the Akuma with, now. It was you, you gave me what I need to fight it." I pick up my dress and put it on, carefully straightening it. "Kyle, I want to end this evil. I'm going to go after the Akuma, at the source. I want to get rid of these monsters, for good."

"what's wrong, Kyle?" I ask, seeing your face fall. I move close and take your hand to hold between both of mine. "I know I can do this, Kyle. If I have you with me. I don't have a choice. It's only a matter of time before the Akuma breaks this lock too. If I can't destroy the Akuma, I will be worse than dead. I will be like them. You would have to hunt me, Kyle." "I have to find the source, and destroy it. It's my only hope. I don't even know if I can survive through it, but it's the only chance of getting rid of this taint." I turn to you and smile, "I know I can do it, if you are with me. Together, I think we can do anything."

Lana's words placed a huge hope in his heart. He knew that this might be soon over. Once he managed to finally defeat the one who's behind this all, he can find eternal peace. Kyle was aware that the person that he is going to fight against is none other than his own father. The battle ahead of him is going to be long and gruelling. He was ready and hyped. But not as strongly as Lana was. She was already ahead of him. Following the spirit of the Akuma, where they all were gathered. "Lana! Wait for me, I am not as fast as you are, you know!" He said with a playful smile, feeling really good about what's to come. ---BACK IN HARGON'S PLACE---

Sitting at the throne room, Hargon was gathering all the life essence, that would be gathered from the Akuima's that were not fit for the battles that are up ahead. Every drop of blood went into his body. Filling his dark spirit slowly but surely. "I see you all have gathered here. I am finally happy to see that my brothers in arms have risen from the underworld. Years of gruelling waiting have finally paid off. This could have had happened sooner, if it was not for the interference that had set us back for 20 more years of waiting. But trust me, now we all are together. I am just going to sit back and wait a little bit longer. This flesh is not good enough for me yet. I just need a little bit more time." Sitting in his chair, Hargon foresaw a disturbance in the distance. "I believe that you all felt the same thing as I did. One of the most powerful vessels managed to somehow retain their own self. It's not something to worry about. But this body feels something else... a son. I was expecting this man to have had killed his own son, but it seems that the fatherly love had gotten the better of him, making a great obstacle in my side. Brothers. This is not something to be taken lightly. We have to do something about it." Before Hargon stood 4 brave man and a lady, who just joined in the company. She winked at Hargon and then waited for him to say something.

"How long do we have to stand here and watch this. If you two want to go at it, at least please do it in a private space. We have not come here just to watch how you are going to take and fuck your lady." The rather harsh words came from Aless Mistenstalion. A quite eccentric lad, who is what some could refer to, cursed by the God. He was cursed due to his sin of killing his father and mother, as well as his brothers and sisters, all over a simple jealousy. When he was asked to answer for his sins before the God himself. Aless just spat into the lords face, and had received the most severe punishment, known to even the demons. His fate had been sealed long time ago, and by none other than himself. He rarely talks about how he had gotten here. But only Hargon knows as much as the reason behind his actions. He thought that it all was silly, however he does remember having a conversation with Aless. This conversation was what made Aless respect Hargon with all his might. Fate would have it that two man are together, guilty of similar sin, yet Aless reasoning might have been more childish. But it hasn't changed the fact. Aless felt proud, being part of the people who are to take over the world, and when he does, as Hargon had promised to him. He can have any woman on earth he would desire.

And I am sure that your time to finally have what you've deserved as well. Come boy. Let's go and find ourselves our dates for this beautiful night. Many sleeping beauties are out there, so why wait here." These calm words came from Tublicartion Hellcithe. A profound member of the founding fathers of the underworld organisation, that is set to fight against the God. The underworld felt as if they always had the short end of the stick. They all were dissatisfied with their lives. And Tublicartion was no exception. He was to every demon in the underworld someone who they could come to and ask for support. His wisdom was relative to that of a Godfather. And that is who he used to be, before he had died. Tublicartion has no regrets about his life, the only regret he does have is that his life was not long enough. During his time in the underworld, he longed for the days on the surface. Being alive again, leading people into pointless wars and murderers. This is something he always enjoyed doing. Quite a life. Tublicartion's relationship with Hargon is one of respect and consultation. Hargon would often come to him and ask for advice on how to proceed to go next. Hargon alone sometimes would make harsh decisions, which would lead to ill effects, but it was in fact Tublicartion's suggestion, to tempt a human to take on the role of the Dark Lord, which Hargon could take over, when the time had come. And as he had planned. The idea worked wonders. Right now his job was done. All that was remaining, was for them to be ready and run their rampage on the earth. However while this evening was still young, he wanted to just enjoy the life a bit more, so he decided to be a good Godfather to Aless.

If only his father was not a person who cheated on his own wife. He hated that very fact.

Therefore I think we might have some good army of thirsty woman just coming after us." Those proud words came from a man named Gabriel Gracius. He used to be a knight of an elite division. He slaughtered people with no remorse and would often seduce the wives of the man he had killed. He was merciless to anyone. Most notable crimes were the ones, where he would pull strings of a woman, making them murder her husbands for him. And after he would murder the woman, without second thought. He was not interested in simple ugly woman, but he only cared for the cream of the top. That was however his downfall, he was found flirting with the queen. And for that, he was executed by the King of the country he was serving. This enraged him, and once he had came to the Netherworld, he swore revenge. This revenge is like a legend of the Underworld. As he was the first ever dead men, to return to the living world and actually kill someone. His actions were quite fascinating. And once the legends were living on, Hargon had learned of him and had found quite an interest in him Gabriel was too quite interested to have another chance in walking the earth, let alone rule it. The deal with Hargon was really tempting, as by his words, most interesting woman live on earth. Unfortunately so little of interesting ladies are down there. Most are headed up into the heavens, which is quite disappointing.

"Uhh. You again with your games eh. How long has it been since you've been satisfied. Nothing can satisfy your thirst for lust." The monster named Morteblood replied. He is what most would call a gatekeeper of the Underworld. Former gatekeeper to be precise. He was the one who had let Gabriel go back to the Overworld. And once God had learned of Morteblood's actions, he was punished and removed from the position. His relationship with Hargon is only on level of knowing each other. Morteblood only hangs around with Gabriel, as he is still impressed in a man, who was able to best him in a duel. That is why he let the dead man actually pass to the overworld. The two of them left the scene and decided to head for a walk. They were boored. And had nothing better to do by now.

She really enjoyed playing as always it was. Kissing just the tip and as she did, she took off her clothing, showing her gifts, which Hargon loved so much. As she went for the blowjob, she felt a strong surge of power. Hargon was becoming more and more like what she used to remember and love. "Oh my darling. I can feel it.

I stop at the entrance to the large estate, surveying the scene before us. Akuma covered the place. They seemed to all be intent on one thing though. I know from the monster inside of me that that thing is inside. He wants to consume the Akuma, to fuel his own power.  "Kyle, wait!" I say before we proceed. When he turns to me I put my hand over his heart. "Walk in the light and love of the goddess." I say, "let her strength bring you through the dark. And...no matter what happens, Kyle, always remember that...I love you!"  I step close and kiss you like it's the last chance I have. For all I know, it is the last chance.  I look over and see two figures coming from the mansion. One monster, one man. It doesn't matter who they are, they are in the way.  "I got the ugly one." I say to Kyle, stepping forward. I focus on the Akuma, forcing it to bend to my will. Shadows ripple under my skin, but only my hands change, becoming black and growing into talons. My legs change, also becoming black, shaped more like an animals legs, with claws.  I snarl an inhuman snarl, then advance on the demon.

"Those cowards, they always send first only their servants to fight. COME ON OUT FIGHT US!" Kyle unloaded his handgun at the approaching Akumas, and kicked one with his steel boots, and he overreacted with his strength. But the mid air Akuma was after shoot with his handgun, making the flying speed accelerate all the way to the Mansion.

Stella was deep down on her knees, almost naked, just her panties still on and holding onto Hardin's dick. She was taking it as deep as she wanted, her panties wet by just the thought of his full power potential. But at that moment into their room, one semi dead Akuma, the very same one which was shoot up by the Kyle, flew in and hit her on the back. This enraged her so much that she just stood up, took the body of the Akuma. Went to the balcony and screamed. "Can you all do the fighting somewhere else! I am having here a great time with my lover!" She screamed and just tossed the Akuma back into the crowd, returning to her lover.

Kyle ran out of the bullets, and had only left with his sword, Cutting down the Akuma, he finally was set free of any obstacle and was ready to face off into a duel, the white haired freak "You don't seem to be a monster to me, unlike that other guy. Who are you?"

"I could ask you the same. The girl clearly is a monster, yet you are just a simple human." Gabriel approached Kyle and extended his sword against him. "I am the best knight of an empire, that has been long dead in this world. I am from a time, before you were even born. Yes as it turns out, most Akuma's are just people, but among them, are humans, Cursed to live as Akumas. And I am one of them, just like that woman over there, who is fighting alongside you." Gabriel placed his stand on a pincer attack and went for a forward thrust at Kyle

The enemy had taken his first move, I must think fast now. There. That's the opening for my dodge. Kyle moved to the side and attempted to pierce Gabriel's stomach, however Gabriel had foreseen this, and had moved to the side, so his sword wouldn't get anywhere near him.

Lp:"I focus on controlling the demon. It's easier now, with the lock, the goddess, and my love for Kyle all protecting me from being overcome. I was able to control my change more than ever before, and now it's simple to keep myself whole while using the Akuma strength and instinctive skill.  As soon as Gabriel summons the Akuma, I see my chance. I rush into the throng of blackened, demonic bodies. Akuma have limited comprehension, being things of warped and twisted evil, and are not quick to realize I'm attacking. I leap onto the back of one, crushing it's head in my taloned hands, turning it to ash and smoke, then turn and lash out in an arc, turning my sharp, clawed fingers into eviscerating blades. As I continue to destroy these lesser Akuma, I realize something startling. Each one that I kill makes me stronger! Or, at least, makes the Akuma possessing me stronger! How is this possible? It is absorbing their strength, just like Hargon! Then this evil taint that my soul was replaced with cannot truly be an Akuma! The demon Morteblood wastes no time, it rushes at me in a direct attack. I grab one of the Akuma near me, lifting it in the air and bringing it around like a battering ram to slam into Morteblood just as he reaches me, knocking him aside and crushing the Akuma's head.  Morteblood moves fast, recovering from the blow instantly. Before the Akuma in my grip has even turned to so much ash, morteblood collides with me from the side, driving me into the wall and crashing through it. "Who are you, little girl, to come here seeking death?" Morteblood snarls, pinning me to the ground, his fangs dripping in my face as his hot, putrid breath washes over me. I struggle, trying to pull free.  "You don't even have a soul to save, why do you fight? Let the darkness in, you know you want to let go. You are already dead, girl." No matter how hard I struggle, I can't pull free from morteblood's grip. I turn and see Kyle, fighting for his life, fighting against the evil."

"I am Lana Phoenix." I say, turning back to the demon over me. "I am a priestess of the goddess of light! I stand for all that is good, and pure, and right! I fight for the light, I fight for love-"  A sickening, wet crunching sound is heard as my body changes, black shadows moving under my skin. My eyes turn to glowing black orbs. My laugh, as my face changes shape, is demonic and crazed.  "I fight for vengance!" I finish. My body is fully transformed, decidedly something other than an Akuma. It seems to be made of the same substance as the Akuma, but black magic seeps from this form in whisps and curls of smoke. My face is more animal, more beast, with a long muzzle and jagged black teeth. My body grows larger, more powerful, more animal.  With a vicious snarl I grab Morteblood's face in my teeth. Then demon screams, backing away, trying to pry me off of his face. I just grip harder, demon blood dripping around my fangs to the floor where it sizzles and smokes. Morteblood's screams become more frantic as he desperately sinks his own claws into my face. I snarl and jerk my head to the side, trying to dislodge his claws. His neck breaks, halting his screams instantly. As he goes limp in my jaws, I hesitate, thinking it must be a trap. With a low growl I start to shake my head side to side. Finally the demon's body flies free and slams into the building. I drop the head and crush it under my feet.

Hargon BOT 14-Nov-21 10:41 PM
"Did you just feel that? A power that I already had thought in my grasp is still out there. Looks like the evil spirits did not take over that woman's body in time." Hargon stood up and pushed Stella to the side, to see for himself the beast. Walking to the balcony he looked right to Lana and then back at Stella who was standing there, confused about whole ordeal "Lana! You are way more powerful than I had expected. You who possess half of my power, I never thought that you would be stronger than me. It matters not. It's not only Akuma, that gives demons their powers. I think you just felt that yourself just now." Hargon then turned to Stella and approached her body

"Hargon, please what are you thinking of doing right now! I beg of you, don't you love me? HARGON!" Stella screamed in pain, as her chest was pierced by Hargon's hand, taking her life force into himself. A small tear went down her eyes, as she died for the second time, vanishing into nothingness.

"Hey boy, looks like our battle ends here. I was warned about this, but I prefer to live in the underworld. I was honoured to fight together with you, Kyle. But alas, our battle has to end here." Gabriel placed his sword back into it's place and took a bottle of some kind of black substance and drank it, vanishing into thin air.

Kyle then turned to Lana and saw how she had changed. She was no longer the cute girl that he actually liked, but he also noticed how the holy lock was glowing and cracking, as if there was no end to it. Kyle's eyes were full of fear, but he did not falter. He continued to march forward, and his gaze moved to his father, who was standing there, emitting large amounts of pure Energy and terror. Kyle had no words to say, but he was also becoming really tired, from the battle already. He barely had any sleep, he couldn't continue, yet he had to move on.

Standing at the nearby hill together with Tublicartion, Aless was observing the entire scene and then said "You were right old man. Hargon only wanted to take all the power and become the most powerful being, instead of just rising an army, to rule over the land. A full total extinction of mankind. Nobody is for that. It's first of all a pointless goal, and other. There's no benefit for that. I now agree with you that we should act now."

Hargon BOT 14-Nov-21 10:42 PM
Standing right before Kyle and Lana. Hargon extended his arm and pushed a severe force field, that blocks any physical attacks from the opponents. After that he turned his arm to the side and chanted words "Time to Die!" At this exact moment, he coughed out blood. The infection had already done enough damage that it had shown it's effects. Hargon barely could keep his stand up. "What monstrosity is this? What is happening to my body? What NOOOOOO!!!!!" Hargon started to disintegrate into million pieces of blood, that all slowly flew into the cursed eye of Aless. As his last action, Hargon looked at Aless who was standing up the hill together with Tublicartion and noticed the glowing eye, that Aless was holding. He knew what has just happened to him. He cursed at him, before being completely absorbed by the eye of Aless.

"Our job here is done. It's time to go home. I shall give out the order." Aless extended his arm up into the sky and chanted an order "ALL Akumas, heed my words. Today's feast has been taken from us. Let's return home and prepare for the day, when we shall all be ready for the new dawn!" After making the chant, slowly most of akumas vanished into the ground, while he himself approached Kyle. "Heed my words, brave warrior. I shall return where it's our place. But remember that one day we will return. But when that time comes, you might be already old and have died of old age. Who knows. Farewell." Aless said as he vanished into the air.

I struggle against the beast, the tainted evil that was content to remain in control of my body. Then, without warning, it let go, retreating to wherever it stayed inside of me. My body reverted back to normal, leaving me gasping and shaking as I fall to the floor. "Kyle!" I cry out, desperately trying to stand and make it up the hill where the source of the Akuma was. I can feel it, the evil force that drives them, it was so close! "Kyle don't let them escape! We have to hurry!" Even as I struggle to move, my body exhausted and weak, the figures on the hill vanish. All the Akuma vanish. I can no longer feel the location of the source, but the beast, that, I still feel. "No! You cowards! Come back here!" I scream at the empty place they had stood just moments before. I collapse to my knees exhausted. "Get back here!" I scream, but there is no answer. Finally, I lower my face to my hands and cry. "I was so close! So close!"

As all Akumas were gone now, Kyle just looked around, not sure what that boy was saying to him. Yet. He also saw his own father die, right in front of his own eyes. Kyle's grandfather sat there and just told him that his father had died about the time, that demon had taken over. Also grandfather told him that he has more important matters to attend to right now. Kyle turned to Lana and saw her on the ground and crying desperately. She wanted to destroy the evil, yet she was unable to. Kyle was too ready to kill his own father, yet this dream was taken away from him this instant. He didn't know what to do now. "Lana... It's over." Kyle didn't know how to feel right now, he just stood there, looked at the field where once there were hundreds of Akumas. He didn't know what to do now. The only thing he knew to do now was to embrace Lana in his arms. He took her body in his arms and walked home. Lana was no longer as heavy as she used to be. Therefore, the road was not as difficult, as it used to be.

"Hm? That is what you are worried about now? Unfortunately for us, that is not the case. The source was given to the strongest Akuma out there, to be absorbed by Hargon, yet the human vessel for that akuma had shown to be stronger, than we had expected. That woman, she is the source. She's still in the overworld. But what I am actually interested more about is that which actually holds the source power. It's no longer her."

"While you were busy talking with them and commanding the Akumas, I took a closer look at her. She bears a child, that which holds the power of the source. She no longer is the one in control. There's nothing we can do right now. All we can do now is wait, for the time, when the child becomes old enough, to awaken."
