Johnathan "Summon your god then! Ask him to save you. Ask him to make you strong enough to kill me. Ask him to bring my Friend back! Go on ask him! ASK HIM"
Nichole started to pray as she was assaulted repeatedly by Johnathan, being rejected by her god her tears painted the ground with the blood leaking from her head.
Nichole "Oh lord. OW! Hades please bring me strength. OW! Please save me from, ACK! My enemies. OW OW OWWW. Lastly Bring this OWW James person back from the dead."
Just as Johnathan raised his hand to deliver the finial blow, he was gripped from behind by a rotten corpse. The smell alone was enough to make him gag let alone the horrific sight of his dead friends face staring at him with a disgustingly ruby colored eye. James' pale skin squirming from the insect that were devouring his rotten body. A roach crawled from James' empty Eye socket crawling up his arm onto Johnathans face making him scream a blood curdling yelp. Johnathan dropped to the ground not realizing that he ripped James' off. James turned to him and smiled a creepy hollow smile as if he was glad Johnathan loved him to pieces.
James "Hey buddy! Will you give me a hand? You kinda tore mine off."
Johnathan panicked as he tore the arm of his wrist and tossed it at James hitting him in the chest merging with his body, allowing his arm to regrow his arm.
Johnathan "You aren't James."
James "Isn't this the boy you wanted to see Johnathan? Isn't this the boy you tortured my most beloved and devoted daughter to see? This boy with a heart so black he practically gave himself away to her? While I don't blame your childish youth for wanting to see the ghost of the past reality is often disappointing right? Stay on your obsessed path you are on you will be joining him soon in hell, his body rotting in the ground and his soul being tortured personally by her until the end of time. Touch my daughter again and you will regret it."
Johnathan "Stop it with your stupid trick bitch!"
Nichole Quivered in fear at the true appearance of her god, weeping hysterically that she bowed to a false god.
James "Raise your head my beautiful darling child. The supreme being wishes for you not to win this match and Zeus hates when we intervene in competitions. I forgive you and so very proud of you. I must go now. The supreme being no matter how much he wishes for something to happen cannot intervene by his own decree. So, win this, prove your love to me and prevail."
The ghost of James vanished in a purple vapor. Johnathan dismissed what happened to him as a last minute desperate trick from Nichole as he walked to the center of the stage to claim his win. Nichole starts to rise to her feet, gaining strength from within to fight Johnathan. As he turns to see Nichole rise to her feet Johnathan rolls his eyes letting out a deep sickening sigh.
Nichole "Like my lord says, I am strong and beautify…"
Johnathan cut off Nichole with a swift kick to the head, knocking her out.
Johnathan "Shut up already will ya?"
Proctor "what a weird match! Johnathan Angel is the winner next match Cole Yankell and Naiomi Nguyen! Shake hands and begin!"
Naiomi "Proctor the match is over now!"
Proctor "No it isn't."
Naiomi "Must we do this again?"
While Naiomi argued with the proctor about the match being over she felt an overbearingly powerful force behind her. Naiomi looked where she thought Cole's frozen body laid dormant stuck in time, but he was gone turning to see him slowly approaching her. The sight of Cole scared her enough to be unable to move. She knew Cole was probably the most powerful person there, but she also know your strength didn't matter to her time space, if she wanted she could stop light. The closer Cole drew to her the faster he moved almost as if her magic was being dissolved from his pure determination, or was it his will? Maybe his ambition? No, Cole had none that she knew of. The slowed air pressed against her cheek sending Naiomi's nerve endings ablaze. Every single fiber of her being was screaming to dodge, block, or even move at all. In the split second she decided to move in her feared state her concentration on Cole broke sending the pent up force from Cole's fist crashing into the wall behind it leaving a gaping hole to the outside, allowing Cole to move freely.
Naiomi "This is quite the surprise indeed. I slowed time down to a crawl within that space. Around one second per day."
Cole "Well that was weak, very weak. So, will you take me seriously?"
Naiomi "No, not at all."
Cole "Sheesh you're hard to please. Bet you don't get many dates."
Naiomi "No But, you don't either. It's a waste."
Cole "Well I was going to wait for my fight with Aslalo. Eh, it shouldn't be that big of a deal."
Cole sat down to take his sweat bands off struggling the entire time. When he finally pops one off, it flies into the nearby seats with the other three following close behind. The audience fled from the fast approaching bands as they crashed into the ground forming a small crater.
Cole "Look out! I'm sorry!"
Proctor "How exciting up until now Cole has been wearing weights with a rating of…seven tons each!!! Such strength, I wonder how Naiomi will handle such power!"
Naiomi "Just because a physical type took off some light weights, doesn't mean he will beat me. He is bluffing."
Cole "That cocky attitude is exactly what I expect from a spoiled princess. I suggest you take me seriously, those weights were designed to get heavier by the hour."
Naiomi "Thank you for letting me know. I will keep that in mind. However, I don't think that will matter all too much."
Cole "If you say so…"
Cole found a nearby pebble and tossed it into the air, signaling a count down to a match. The mere instant the pebble touched the ground Naiomi and Cole vanished in a blur. The shock waves from their clashing rattling the arena and everyone in it. The longer they fought the more they scared the audience in thinking that the arena would collapse. Blurs filled the stage as they fought only to briefly appear before they stepped of into battle once more.
Naiomi "you are quite skilled for a commoner. That fighting style, where did you learn it?"
Cole "My father taught it to me when I was younger, it's passed down from parent to child."
Naiomi "To get as sharp as you are, you've must have trained really hard. I can respect that. It's difficult to fight the way you do. No hatred, anger or animosity. There isn't even a single shred of battle spirit within yourself."
Cole "Thank you my father made me train till my bones broke and I was an exhausted pile of goo."
Naiomi "You say that with so much pain in your eyes as if you actually gave your best, but with a performance like this it is to be expected from the likes of commoners like yourself."
Cole "well that's awfully rude of you princess, you shouldn't be goin around judging people ya know."
Naiomi "It doesn't matter if what I said was rude or not, it simply was the truth whether or not you like it."
Cole "It wasn't what you said it's how you said it."
Naiomi "What's wrong with how I said it?"
Cole "It's so cold and devoid of emotion. You say I am the one with pain in my eyes, but I harbor no ill will towards my father. You on the other hand has been hurt deeply but, that's no excuse to be mean."
Naiomi "Birds of a feather I guess. Cole can I ask you something?"
Cole "Sure, we are in the middle of a match but go ahead."
Naiomi "Why do you fight? Is it for recognition? The acceptance of your father? Is it because you were bored? Hatred? Revenge?"
Cole "Why? Seems kinda stupid."
Naiomi "Just entertain me and remember I can tell when you are lying."
Cole "I don't know. I guess I realized something."
Naiomi "Really? What did you realize?"
Cole "Can we just fight? I don't see the point of this."
Naiomi "What I did next depended on your candid answer however, just this once I will explain it to you. To say the least you interest me, and I want to be there to see your dreams come true no matter where that may lead me."
Cole "I have no dreams, aspirations or ambitions. I assure you, you won't go anywhere with me."
Naiomi "So what did you realize?"
Cole "I realized that I am weak and undeserving of everything I've had up till now and it's gone. There happy? Now can we continue our match please?"
Naiomi "You know it takes a strong person to admit their weaknesses and since you were so kind to admit yours I will show you mine."
The arena fell under an anxious silence as the two conversed and on the arena floor. What they were talking about had nothing to do with the match but, not a soul complained as they waited patiently for the two to fight again. The cold excitement built up as Naiomi took the initiative to start by drawing her katana and aimed it at Cole. The blade was a strange. It wasn't made from metal instead it appeared to be sharpened pink crystal that reflected something undiscernible to Cole inside of it, glowing slowly like a horde of fireflies. The guard on it was a simple plate with the kanji for time etched all over as if written in all directions it could be. The handle simply had a light pink string matching the blade, but something stood out to Cole. There was a tiny hourglass that dangled from the base of the hilt. Cole squinted really hard to see where it flowed however, just like the guard the sand flowed in all directions. Naiomi smiled and walked slowly towards Cole. Getting prepared for an attack Cole got in his ready stance. This didn't faze Naiomi as she smiled and walked towards Cole.
Cole "If you are going to attack me, this is a pretty lousy way of doing it!"
Naiomi didn't say a single word as she walked confidently and casually up to Cole. Now face to face with him, she stared into his abyss. Her fair pale skin turning bright red after realizing how close she was to his face. Cole, highly uncomfortable with the situation tried to back away but Naiomi gripped his face before he even got the chance to move away from her. Naiomi's eyes turned into a beautiful sparkling pink kaleidoscopic pattern as she stared even deeper into Coles eye's. Slowly being memorized by the pattern in her eyes Cole dropped his hands and stopped fighting Naiomi, turning his eyes into a pink sparkling Kaleidoscope. A sympathetic look came over Naiomi as she let go of Cole, tears welling up in her eyes.
Cole "I'm sorry, you are crying."
Cole backed up to prepare for an attack that just never came. Instead a melancholy Naiomi stood there, wiping her tears off as she stuck her sword into the ground.
Naiomi "It's quite alright, you personally did nothing wrong. Your life was, is and will be filled with tragedy. I thought you were putting on a persona to gain my affections, But I was wrong. You are genuinely a kind soul."
Cole "Stop Lying! I am not kind, I am not honorable, I am not noble. I am a monster. A demon that does nothing but causes the suffering of others."
Naiomi "You can lie to yourself, but I know the truth. I don't see you as a monster. In fact, only monsters can't touch that sword, actually monsters can't even lay a finger on me. Grab the sword Cole Yankell and I'll take you seriously."
Cole shrugged and walked towards the sword but as he did the sword grew twice as distant. He took another step and another and another, the sword growing ever more and more distant. No matter how fast he moved the sword moved twice the distance away. Naiomi sat down looking at her wristwatch as Cole slowed down to a point he seemed frozen in time. To Cole he was running at max speed the world fading to black and he was the only one there.
Deablos "Cole, STOP! There Is no point in struggling further. She is using you as a treadmill to Strengthen her spell's speed and power to keep the space expanding."
Angelos "Yes, the space is limited however I can still sense the audience. My best guess would be that signals inside travel slower out or signals outside travel faster and get trapped inside to give the appearance of this space being infinite. It's quite the spell."
Cole "It appears infinite on all axis' right? So, what about the T axis?"
Deablos "The T axis? Mind explaining?"
Cole "You are a computer program. How do you not know of the T axis?"
Deablos "I am a twenty thousand year old demon. I didn't pay attention to the human advancement in science as I was giving humans a different kind of attention."
Cole "Gross, and the T axis represents the dimension of time in space-time theory."
Deablos "Okay? Point is?"
Cole "I have a theory that this abyss is growing by me fighting against it. If the only reference point is me then my movement is forcing time by nature to move too, causing this space to expand. So, if I can stay or appear to be completely still in thought of mind and body then the space will degrade as it has nothing to reference."
Deablos "Say again for the idiots in the back! I'm not following."
Cole "If time isn't moving because there is no reference then space isn't moving either. So, if I stop moving, stop fighting, stop comparing myself to anything but me then the space will tear and degrade."
Angelos "If you are wrong then we will be stuck here forever."
Cole "Only one way to find out."
Cole sat on the ground, focusing of every molecule in his body and every thought in his mind, he even focused on the air in his lungs calling all things to a stop. The images of his life Burst out from Cole splashing around, painting spots of the void in his darkest and most vibrant of emotions. Cole took a single breath and banished the thoughts in his mind into the void, leaving one that remained unfettered by Cole. Out of the dark emotional sludge came a distorted monster that took the form of Jody's mangled and bloody body. Tears rolled down Cole's face as the memory laid in his lap, smiling as it turned into glitter. With a wave of his arm the void fractured and burst open allowing Cole to climb out.
Angelos "Hey Cole you seem kinda off, are you ok?"
Deablos "It had to be done at some point."
Angelos "Cole, it's getting dark in here."
Deablos "Don't shut us out. We want to help you."
They begged and pleaded with Cole but try as they may it fell on death ears. His eyes grew cold and lifeless as the spark that once lit Cole ablaze died out. Naiomi smiled as Cole lifted her sword from the ground. The dark emotions of Cole filled the blade turning the once pure clear pink crystal into dark purple as he slowly walked towards Naiomi.
Naiomi "I see you let her go. I knew you could do it!"
Cole "mmhmm."
Naiomi "Cole? You are different than before. It makes me a bit uneasy."
Naiomi's innocent smile vanished as Cole creeped ever closer to her. Cole's already non-existent will to fight vanished in his power. To Naiomi it was as if he Completely disappeared but, she was confident that she could take him on as this wasn't anything she wasn't already used to. As Cole picked up speed so did Naiomi, facing him head on with her full force. Naiomi did her best to gracefully evade each attack with her gymnasts like ability but, Cole was much faster and got closer and closer to her, almost cutting her multiple times.
Naiomi "With the weight removed you seem to be getting much faster than before. The strange thing is I have been slowly increasing the mass of that blade, but you have been swinging it around like it is nothing. You are amazing! This might actually be a bit challenging for me."
Cole didn't say a word as he sent an endless number of slashes and swings at Naiomi. His eyes dead and frozen, His swings were wild and untrained but sharp and precise. As if he were a puppet Cole's attacks had no feeling behind them. They were empty like he was. Naiomi quickly becoming overwhelmed and was nicked, causing a small cut to leak blood down her cheek. For a split second Naiomi saw a twinkle glimmer in Cole's dead eyes before being snuffed out.
Naiomi "Ah! I see, you are unintentionally forcing your body into a sort of dead state. You amaze me more and more. I think its time to test just how strong you are."
Naiomi jumped at the charging Cole, blocking the sword swing with her arm. The dark purple crystal almost as if purified changed back into its bright clear pink shade before shattering into pieces leaving the only part not made of crystal in Cole's hand. Naiomi threw a punch before she realized the sword shatter and missed Cole completely. Her face turned an even brighter red, falling to her knees as she tried to scoot away from Cole as he came in to deliver a fierce blow stopping just before he hit her.
Naiomi "Why did you stop?"
Cole "You weren't fighting anymore."
Naiomi "Aren't you the gentleman?"
Cole "I'm not a gentleman as you can clearly see."
Naiomi "You are right I have a feeling this won't be the only time you have me on my knees!"
Cole "Damn right! So just give up!"
Naiomi blushed even harder while she swept Cole's legs out and pushed him to the ground mounting him as she drew a sword from a portal. As she prepared to stab Cole, he disappeared. Naiomi Searched the entire stage for him but he was nowhere to be found.
Cole "*whispering* behind you"
Naiomi swung her sword desperately at Cole slashing through nothing more than an afterimage.
Naiomi "Teehee you achieved that which my father forced upon me with ease. You became space itself, a void of nothing. You are highly gifted, but unfortunately not enough to switch roles as head."
With one hand Naiomi blocked Cole's sneak attack from above like it was nothing. Cole quickly recovered and followed up with a kick that ended up in her palm. Before he could send another attack, Cole was violently sent into the concrete wall smashing that section of the wall on top of him. The crowd cheered thinking Cole had lost, but to their dismay the rubble shook as Cole climbed out. Cole walked back onto the stage the crowd booed as they started throwing all sorts of trash at him. His breaking point was a soda bursting over his head soaking his clothes in a sticky mess. The louder the crowd grew as did the demonic voices in Cole's head telling him to kill everyone, in response his A.I.E shifted a dark glowing blood red color.
Cole "Demonic forge, hammer, sharpen, hammer, sharpen, heat, heat, heat! Hammer, hammer, hammer, cool in blood, heat, cool, sharpen. Attunement of ice. Come forth demon blade of frost."
Cole swung the jagged blade like a wild animal baring it's fangs at everything in his path. Cole swung again and barely missed Naiomi, lodging his sword into the ground making huge icicles appear almost catching Naiomi in their frozen grip. Inside she heard the screams of damned souls trapped inside its frozen prison.
Naiomi "You were so cool and levelheaded before, what happened?"
Cole "STOP ALREADY!"
Naiomi "Stop what?"
Cole "Analyzing and trying to make me out to be something I'm not. What do you know? You lived your life with a silver spoon in your mouth."
Naiomi "Do you truly believe you are the only one who suffers? That's awfully selfish of you."
Cole "SHUT UP! I know pain is relative, but you never felt what I felt."
Naiomi "I started my training at the age of three. It didn't matter if my bones broke or my hands bled, and I couldn't lift my sword. I trained in the freezing temperatures of the mountain, I trained in a pure vacuum, I couldn't eat or sleep until each form was perfect. Just like you my father wouldn't let me taste failure or defeat."
Cole "You're just like me you say? Did you drink vinegar when you were thirsty during training? Did you feel the warmth of your mothers bosom when you were sad or hurt? Couldn't eat because you didn't get it perfect the first time? How about being thrusted from your home because you said no? Or being raised to believe it's kill or be killed?"
Naiomi "Who's memories are those? It's like he is flipping back and forth between his own memories and the other one's memories."
Cole "Do you know the taste of semen or the sting of a rusty blade digging into your soft childish skin? How about the taste of human flesh and the self-hatred of that being the only food you had for weeks? What about the pain of seeing the bloody body of your closest friend die in your arms? Did these things happen to you? no? Then don't tell me how a privileged princess like yourself has went through any kind of suffering. Don't tell me you know how I feel."
Naiomi "I have only one spoken spell. Please be patient as I conjure it up. In time all pain fades to nothing. In time god hears all prayers of the blessed. In time the devil punishes all the evils of the world. In time one can understand the pain of another. Time magic memorial glare."
A sea of rainbow lights put Cole into a daze, when his eyes opened he saw Naiomi being beaten by her father repeatedly. He saw and heard the disgusting pop her brothers and sisters made from the vacuum chamber she was forced into. He saw the blood on her hands after she was forced to fight and kill her most beloved older and younger family members. Nothing compared to what he saw in the last memory though. Cole tried to close his eyes, but they were forced open to view it from Naiomi's perspective. Just two months before the tournament she had been declared the next heir of the family. Through her eyes he saw the betrayal of her father as he brought her to a shrine, where the people who were supposed to be family tied her up. Through her skin he felt the hundreds of lashings she receives, the dozens of welts that dug and burned her skin. Through her nose Cole could smell the rotten innards, trash and sewage that was poured all over her. Through her tongue he could taste the awful but familiar taste of the iron in the blood that Naiomi had been forced to drink. From her ears Cole heard the Disgusting cheers of her family screaming "LONG LIVE THE PRINCESS, LONG LIVE THE PRIESTESS. SHE ENDURES SO WE MAY PROSPER, SHE SUFFERS SO WE MAY FIND JOY." The last thing Cole felt was the cold of pure clear crystal held by Naiomi's mother pushing her organs out of the way, the world after that went cold and dark. When Naiomi's eyes next opened the sun was shining and the blade was gone, presented to her as a pink katana. Cole couldn't stop the tears from rolling down his cheek as he realized that not only did she suffered but she did so unselfishly. The entire time her gagged mouth screamed for it to be over her thoughts were not of hatred but of love. She wanted everyone there to have long prosperous lives, she held forgiveness in her heart even has they strung her lifeless body up until the sun rose over the horizon. Cole blinked and wiped the tears from his eyes. Everything she went through summed up in three short seconds.
Cole "I am so sorry."
Naiomi "Just shut up and fight remember? I don't want sympathy or pity. I showed you that to let you know that you are not alone and that you can rely on me."
Cole "You won't get any pity from me. So, shut up and fight!"
Back and forth the two exchanged devastating blows to one another. Cole's attacks were wild and fierce while Naiomi's was trained and apathetic. The fight went on like two skilled dancers on stage feeding off of each other's spirit. For the first time Cole found understanding of an opponent, an understanding for the love of battle. Their was peace in their chaos, and a feeling like no other. When the two clashed Cole and Naiomi both smiled at each other with eyes of genuine affection for one another. It was strange although her attacks were heavy, Cole felt the lightest when he was hit. To Naiomi, Cole's attacks were astoundingly undignified, but they came with a burning passion that lit a spark in her, forcing her to realize she chose right in picking Cole. The two wanting nothing more than to dance on that stage forever fully engrossed in their battle, to feel what they felt in that fight for eternity. The audience growing ever silent in respect for these goliaths while they battled, in the brief clashes catching them smiling at each other. The sheer skill these two showed made even the proctor go silent in a loss for words. Everyone was enthralled except for one. Naiomi's father bounced his knee anxiously, feeling as though his daughter was embarrassing him in front of his peers. The tenacity the two displayed was further exemplified by the hatred Naiomi's father felt. He wondered why the daughter he had raised wasn't preforming to his expectations.
Higari "NAIOMI! STOP DISGRACING THE NGUYEN FAMILY NAME AND BEAT HIM ALREADY."
Cole "Aye yo, shut the fuck up"
Naiomi "I appreciate the gesture, but please do not disrespect my father."
Higari "Naiomi, I am giving you two minutes!"
Cole tossed a small pebble he held in his hand like a bullet at Higari's head missing by a few inches. Higari turned pale as Cole's fiery gaze turned towards him.
Cole "Stop interfering with my fight or you will be my opponent."
Naiomi "Are we going to continue while my father is silent, or will you be fighting him?"
Cole "To be completely honest, it appears the match is over. If you could've used magic I'm sure you would have which leads me to believe you ran out or saving some to heal your injuries. After the interruption I lost my mojo and don't feel like fighting anymore."
Naiomi "So what do you suggest?"
Cole "I'm not too interested in winning, so I guess I giv…"
Naiomi covered Cole's mouth before he could get the words out. A soft subtle smile painted her face as she gave the match to Cole.
Proctor "Naiomi Nguyen gave the match to Cole Yankell! What an exciting match. Next up Angillina Vizzkarra versus Dianne hicks, contestants enter the ring and shake hands. BEGIN!"
Dianne "I give up Angillina wins."
Proctor "Um okay? The match just started are you sure?"
Angillina "Come on, you should like totally be up to speed. She gave up. I won, or would you like me to puppet her around to make for a much more interesting match?"
Proctor "You kids have no spirit now a days. Where is the respect for a fighter?"
Angillina "Respect for an opponent is so last millennia."
Proctor "So is that way of speaking."
Angillina "It's totes the squove. I'm bringing it back."
Proctor "Whatever. I don't get paid enough for this. Angillina Vizzkarra wins…yay… next up Aslalo Chafer versus Claude Rivera. Shake hands and begin."
As Aslalo and Claude entered the ring Cole heard a faint cry in the distance from a near by hall. As much as he wanted to ignore the voice, it just wouldn't settle right if he did. He left to go investigate the cries wondering who could it be that was in tears. Just as he approached the final turn he heard a familiar voice and hid behind the wall.
Higari "Such a disappointment. Not only did you lose but you gave up. What do you have to say for yourself young lady?"
Naiomi "Father, he was really strong. In the humblest of ways, he could rival even you and mother in a years' time."
Higari slapped his daughter to instill some sort of discipline in her. Higari's eyes held no mercy as a large red mark appeared on Naiomi's soft skin.
Higari "Rival me? Preposterous, you must be going mad. Need I remind you just how powerful I am?"
Naiomi "No, father. I offer you my dearest apologies. Please forgive my rudeness."
Higari "Your mother is flying in tomorrow. She wishes to speak with you in regard to the Jiku. She is very angry with you."
Naiomi "You told me I could choose who broke it."
Higari "I said I will speak to your mother and she gave me a list of approved matches for you based on your future and the plan the elders have for you. That petulant demon child was not one of them."
Naiomi "His name is…"
Higari lifted Naiomi by the throat, pinning her firmly against the wall. Naiomi struggled to pull her fathers hands off of her neck but was brutally slapped into submission. Her nose started to leak a bit of blood onto her clothes, sullying her school uniform.
Higari "I don't care what that low life demon scums name is! How dare you, the next heir of the Nguyen family, pick a demon against the orders of the head of household!?"
Naiomi "I'm so sorry..*huhe* Father please… I didn't know it would break, I swear!"
Higari "Enough of your excuses! You knew damn well what that blade represented. It should not have been used in the first place."
Higari attempted to hit Naiomi once more but was stopped by Cole holding a knife to his back.
Cole "And this one means business. I don't care about how you run your family but for us low life demon scum, we make it a rule to treat princesses with respect."
Higari "Ah it's the demon child. I was going to have a chat with you later."
Cole "First off Mr. Nguyen my name is Cole Yankell. Secondly we can chat after you let her down."
Higari "Boy I am the master of space itself. You think your tiny knife can really hurt me?"
Cole "No, not really. It was more so to show I am willing to fight. I am willing to negotiate on more peaceful terms, if you wish."
Higari "You ruined your chance of a peaceful negotiation by pulling a knife out on me."
Angelos "Cole, allow me to handle this please!"
Cole "Fine. Just make sure nothing too crazy happens."
Cole's eyes glistened a bright vibrant blue as Angelos took over his body. She dropped his knife and backed away from Higari. Dropping Cole to his knees, she lowered his head in a deep and respectful bow to Higari. Feeling superior to Cole, Higari stepped on his head and spat on him while calling him all sorts of obscenities. Higari used his feet to press Cole's face in the dirt, making sure it soaked up all the filth on the floor. Through Cole, Angelos pleaded with Higari to show mercy on Him and Naiomi however, his constant begging only angered Higari more than before.
Higari "Just like a demon, to beg when he knows he is out classed. You people disgust me, constantly groveling. Looking for someone to take pity on you so you can tear them apart. Worthless scum!"
An uncontrolled dark energy leaked out of Cole, lashing out violently in all directions. Cole stayed in his bow and pleaded while the hall shook in fear of his power. His eyes constantly shifting back and forth from red to blue but, Higari didn't care. He still insulted Cole repeatedly, making him feel like it would be ok if Higari died.
Higari "Worthless! Stay in your place filthy demon scum!"
Cole's eyes landed on his infamous demonic blood red color as deablos took the reins. Angered by Higari insulting her kind she stood up against his foot pushing Cole into the ground. With the dark energy pouring out of Cole, Deablos stared Higari in the eye. A deep sensation flooded Higari's nerves and his hair stood on end as he stared Cole in his scarlet eyes. Higari raised his hand to slap Cole back down to the ground but it instead contorted. His other hand was being pulled finger by finger off Naiomi's neck, letting her fall to the ground gasping for air.
Cole "Worthless filthy demon scum you say? It fits me quite nice actually! The boy tried it his way and feathers tried it hers, but people like this only know one thing and that's pain. Cole, as your teacher make sure you pay close attention. This is the proper way to use aether. NO! Stop! I'll show him! Mr. Nguyen I can't stop her for much longer, can we reconcile? Please!"
Higari "I don't shake hands with your kind."
Cole "He tried to warn ya. They gave you every opportunity to stop, but ya humans love to feel self-righteous and above everything."
Higari fought against the force holding his arm to hit Cole, but it was useless. His arm bent further than it could reasonably handle, snapping, popping, and crunching as his hand was being torn apart from the inside. Higari screamed in agony from his arm being destroyed. His bones have broken before, but this pain was different. This felt as though his very essence was being broken into nothing.
Cole "See with aether you can control the very soul in the body. If I so chose I could even snap his neck like it was tissue paper without lifting a single finger."
Higari started to float into the air as he tried to cast a spell on Cole, but the words wouldn't come out. The more he tried to speak, the more his neck twisted. Deablos was playing with him like an old doll she had no more use for. The slow popping of Higari's neck woke Naiomi up from her daze to see her father's neck close to snapping. Higari punched and kicked at Cole, further angering Deablos. She slammed him into the wall forming a body sized shape into the concrete. A demonic grin grew on Cole's face as Deablos got closer to snapping Higari's neck. Just one slight tug and he was dead. The anticipation set a fire in her. Higari could see her arousal in Cole's ruby eyes. The drool dripping from Cole's mouth for the last pop before he went limp and his light snuffed out. Naiomi weakly tugged at Cole's pant leg with tears streaming down her face as she wheezed. One of Cole's eyes shifted into the angelic blue it was prior as he turned to Naiomi.
Cole "Worry not child, for he is deserving of death. Look away! I understand for humans seeing a parent die is quite difficult. I would not wish for you to suffer more than necessary. Please do not hate Cole, I am afraid he has no choice in the matter as he is asleep currently."
Naiomi "Angelos, right? Please I beg of you do not kill my father. I know he can be cruel at times, but he is still my father and I love him."
Cole "I will never understand ya humans affections towards your progenitors. However, I was a crossroads demon a while ago. A deal may be on the table."
Naiomi "I have nothing to offer you. Let me speak with Cole noble spirit."
Cole "Noble? Hahaha sure human. You may speak to him."
Naiomi "Cole?"
Cole "You rang?"
Naiomi "Cole! I'm begging you please do not kill my father! If you let them take him away from me then I will not be able to pursue a friendship with you."
Cole "Friends? You want to be friends with me? Sorry but I don't need friends, and this just feels right. It feels like I am supposed to do this."
Naiomi "I will do anything you ask! No matter the task! Do with me what you will. If you have an interest in my body then take it. If you desire a replacement in my father's stead, I will do it. I will serve you faithfully if you so desire m-m-master!"
Cole "Pathetic. You are a no good liar. Those eyes are the exact same as everyone else. You see me as nothing more than a tool so you could rebel against your family. Trash, utter trash. Deablos, this is an order, let him go."
Deablos "As you wish."
Naiomi bowed before Cole, the soft pitter patter of her tears soaking up in the ground as Higari flopped to the ground paralyzed in fear of the demon known as Cole Yankell. Naiomi rushed to her fathers aid, but she could do little more than hold him and weep.
Naiomi "Thank you master Yankell. Thank you so much."
Cole "You said you will do anything for me? I only request two things. Stop calling me master and stay the hell away from me. I want nothing to do with you or your family."
Higari "Cole Yankell. Mark my words! I will make your life a living hell!"
Cole "Looking forward to it master of space itself."
Higari feeling insulted pulled a gun with his one good hand from his waist and fired three shots at Cole. unfazed Cole stopped and turned as the bullets flew wildly in different directions.
Cole "Tragic isn't it? The moment you realize your daughter is everything you are not. Cherish her Mr. Nguyen, she is the only reason you are still drawing breath right now. Oh! Before I go, Naiomi. I can never be the friend of a liar."
Cole walked off, disappearing into the bright lights of the stadium.
Angelos "Such a compassionate young man."
Cole "Shut up! I just wanted to look cool!"
Deablos "Yeah, super cool MR. I can never be the friend of a liar. Hahaha."
Cole "Shut it! Don't act like you weren't showing off to me!"
Deablos "Yeah yeah. Insult me all you want. I know you were touched by her offer to be your friend, you edge lord."
Cole "I was not!"
Angelos "You know, his heart rate sped up quite a bit when she said that."
Deablos "Don't tell me…Cole, you want to be something more than friends. Hahaha. I can't believe this."
Cole blushed from being teased by his guardians, the embarrassment sending chills up his spine.
Angelos "Now that you mention it. After that sword broke they both were giving cutesy little glances during the fight."
Deablos "Cole has a girlfriend, Cole has a girlfriend!"
Cole "I do not! Quit it!"
Angelos "Cole, it's okay to show affections towards another female. Jody would want you to move on."
Cole "Well, ya know what? I don't want to. So just drop it."
Deablos "Change of subject, that fight was pretty exciting! Cole, I'm proud of you! you are learning extremely fast for a beginner."
Cole "No, not nearly fast enough. I still have to face Johnathan and Aslalo. Growing up those two were the Strongest males in the class. Compared to them the fight with Naiomi was child's play. Johnathan may not be as strong or as fast as I am, but he is a hell of a lot smarter and Aslalo is in a whole other league than both of us. If I can beat those two then and only then will I be proud of myself. I will know I'm not weak anymore."
Angelos "You are way too hard on yourself. Cole, you can win! We believe in you!"
Deablos "Such an edge lord. It's about time you grew up out that wishy washy attitude. It's sickening. You put in way too much work to feel sorry for yourself. So, take the damn compliment and go get'em!"
Cole "Well aren't you guys encouraging."
The crowd broke into a loud thunderous roar as the proctor declare Aslalo the winner of his match. The stage a shattered mess. All that remained was the edge of the arena and some displaced rubble that peppered the stage. Aslalo noticed Cole as he was stepping down from the stage, scoffing as he shoulder checked him.
Cole "Prick!"
Aslalo "Loser."
Cole "Wanna go?"
Aslalo "Why would I waste time on such folly?"
Proctor "Now that the preliminaries are over we will be headed into the semi-finals. The order of march will be Cole Yankell versus Johnathan Angel as the first up. The second will be Aslalo Chafer versus Angillina Vizzkarra. Cole and Johnathan enter the ring, shake hands, and begin!"
Cole "Hey there johnny boy. It's been such a long time since I last saw you."
Johnathan "Just die already."
Cole "That's so unwarranted."
Johnathan "Unwarranted? You sicked your pet on my friend. She tore him apart."
Cole "Hey there's no proof Jody did anything! Just because she is a demon doesn't mean she is violent. In fact I made her promise against her wishes to never hurt anyone."
Johnathan "You are a damn liar. That bitch killed his entire family and the worst part is she…"
Cole "she didn't do shit! You don't know her! She was a kind, loving, and forgiving person."
Johnathan "You are such a tool! That bitch is a filthy murderer."
Cole started to get enraged by Johnathan's insults towards Jody. He knew Jody wasn't like that, but something didn't feel right. Johnathan shouldn't speak on what he doesn't know. Who is he to determine if someone is evil or not especially without proof. A sweet smell filled the arena putting Cole in a foggy state of mind. He tried to shake it off assuming he was smelling the perfume of some lady nearby. He had to concentrate on the one insulting Jody, but why? Cole would normally brush off those insults as childish banter but coming from Johnathan it changed something in him. It pissed him off even more than normal. Trying to contain the rage in his heart Cole's eyes shifted to a dim red, his breathing grew heavy and deliberate, the veins on his forehead bulging, ready to burst open. With a strained voice his word turned to growls.
Cole "Call Jody out of her name one more time. I dare you to see what happens."
Johnathan "She is a slut that murder…"
In a flash Cole disappeared faster than most the audience could see. Before Johnathan could finish his sentence Cole tackled him to the ground, digging him into a large crater. Johnathan covered his face to protect himself from Cole's fist slamming into his face. Cole let out a mighty howl, scaring the foundations of the building to the core. His energy could no longer be controlled by him, lashing out violently into the surrounding area.
Johnathan "Look at you! acting like a wild animal, barely able to think for yourself. I get it, she wasn't your pet you were hers. A little dog to respond to her beck and call."
Cole "Cole no dog!"
Cole's teeth and nails grew sharp enough to claw at stone. Johnathan remained as calm as a dead pond. Nothing of Cole made him scared in the slightest. Johnathans toothpick arms started to crack and fracture to the mountains Cole was hitting him with. Cole's frenzy ended with him slamming both hands down on Johnathan. When the dust settled Johnathan was gone. In his animalistic fever Cole, sniffed all around for a trace of his sent but none was found.
Deablos "Cole, What's wrong with you?"
Angelos "Cole, you need to concentrate or those programs will take over."
Cole "Cole no listen, only wolf here."
Deablos "Uh oh. He is already too far gone."
Angelos "What should we do?"
Deablos "Wait until he burns through his stock pile of power?"
Angelos "How long will that take exactly?"
Deablos "The wolf application burns through power rapidly so a day or two."
Angelos "Is there another way?"
Deablos "Something would have to wake him up."
Johnathan "Over here you overgrown mut."
Cole rushed over to the silhouette gouging out the air. Johnathans voice appeared from all over the ring confusing Cole. The more Johnathan taunted him the more feral and demonic Cole, began to look and act. Cole was close to grabbing him, when Johnathan side stepped his obvious movement and slashed his calves bringing him to his knees. In his rage and pain Cole grit his teeth causing the foam forming at his mouth to be dyed red with his blood. Cole let out a horrifying howl that sent shivers down Johnathans spine. Blood began to spray from Cole's lower back as a tail ripped through his flesh into the open air.
Proctor "Mr.Malick we should stop this match right here. Cole is starting to turn into a level four demon. We aren't equipped to handle the repercussions."
Malick "Proctor those kids are astounding, these matches have shown they far surpassed where we were growing up. If he turns into a demon then they will handle him."
Proctor "we haven't trained them to fight demons! Most of them barely know the full scope of their powers. That boy will die!"
Malick "Hush, look at the scanners. The boy is pushing out just as much as that demon child is."
Proctor "If you won't then I will stop this match before something happens."
Malick "Why are you protecting a demon? I thought you hated them just as much as I do. Let the boy known as Cole Yankell die and we will suspend the other one."
Proctor "If that boy is in danger who knows if he will wake up!"
Malick "that's why it is important he dies now don't you think? That boy will die today while he is still asleep."
Proctor "You are going against God's plans. This is the highest crime one can commit and you will be punished as such."
On the arena floor the crowd is cheering and egging Johnathan on as he took a strange long blade he had tucked into his pants. As if the blade were alive it pumped its energy and all of its properties of Love, warmth, mercy, courage, and intelligence washing over Johnathan, flooding his entire being with its holy power. Cole quailed from the sight of it holy golden shine as if on instinct, but Johnathan wasn't going to let him get away that easy as hi grabbed Cole by his tail and brought him back. Johnathan used the blade to cut Cole more and more to stop him from running away. The crowd watched in a delighted roar as Johnathan vanquished the demon before him. Cole had given up trying to run away at this point. The pain stopping him from even wanting to move. Johnathan signaled for a standing ovation from the audience and the colosseum cheered their gladiator to vanquish the foul beast that laid before him. Mounting him, Johnathan pressed the blade to Cole's neck stopping to say his final words to the monster that took his friend from him before taking his head off.
Johnathan "With this I will be at peace. James your soul can rest easy now my friend."
Cole balled his eyes out in his final moments, all alone, no one to hold him dear or to rescue him from his death, a croud cheering it on like it was some sort of family event. Cole was weak and powerless to stop what was going to befall him, knowing it was his own fault for being provoked into the situation for fighting on anger, guilt and sadness and for that he is going to die. a fitting punishment for him he thought as the blade slowly dug into his neck. As his life flashed before his eyes Cole remembered what Naiomi did in her situation and instead of spewing out curses he set his heart at ease and sung beautiful songs of praise to his father thanking him for giving him life, teaching him how to protect himself and his way of life, for being the best father in the world to him. Cole's last song was his wish for his father to see him win. Deep down, he wanted his father to see the steps he was making with his own power. Cole screamed with his final breath for his father to save him as Johnathan severed his wind pipe. Cole closed his eyes for what he thought was the last time, but as if he were hallucinating he heard the soft graceful flaps of wing descend upon him and a voice just as pure, speak to him. Cole opened his eyes to see Johnathan be flung ten feet deep into the concrete wall. Before he passed out Cole saw his father in the front row smile at him before vanishing again, the voice comforting him as he fell asleep.
Inside the overlook observatory a very tall extremely handsome man enters. His hair was pure and flowed as if made from liquid gold. His fair skin as flawless as his beautiful clear sapphire eyes. The only competition to the mans beauty was a dark skinned woman with hair as white as snow that stretched to the small of her back. Her citrine eyes golden and burning like the sun, skin as smooth as the finest chocolate. Beautiful tattoos decorated her body like works of art no human could possibly replicate in any lifetime. Tiny freckles dotted her face in a line from one cheek to the other. When they saw Malick their grace filled faces turned into heavenly scorn as they sat in the office chairs.
Delton "Principal Malick, how are you doing on this fine Friday afternoon?"
Malick "What are you doing here?"
Proctor "I reported your actions to the most high."
Malick "You reported me to God! Do you know what you have done. You have to go through the proper channels."
Delton "Principal Malick please calm down as Ms. Eve here was only doing as God instructed her to do."
Malick "So then fine, we will talk after the tournament is over. But for right now I must ask you two to leave."
Delton "See normally I would but unfortunately I can't. I would like a word before he arrives."
Malick "Fine, what is the issue?"
Delton "Well you see, Ms. Eve sent a report of misconduct to heaven. Normally a virtue would come to speak on our behalf, but something strange happened seconds later after that report. Would you like to guess what it is?"
Malick "I haven't the foggiest idea."
Delton "An ALE was sent out along with a familiar voice crying for father to save his life. Do you know why that would be?"
Malick "Is this a game of fifty questions or are you going to get to the point?"
Sabrina "THIS ISN'T A GAME! THIS IS AN INTERROGATION. NOW ANSWER THE QUESTION!"
Delton "Calm down Sabrina, wouldn't want to work up a sweat before father gets here. Principal Malick, do you remember what an ALE is?"
Malick "An ALE is an archangel level emergency."
Delton "Correct! My question to you is why would my father send one to us? The misconduct report only mentioned vaguely, your reckless abandon for the safety of others."
Malick "I don't know why God would send out an ALE. The situation was perfectly under control. Do you know why he sent it out?"
Delton "I haven't the faintest idea either. ALE's are sent out for three reasons. One of my immediate relatives are going to die, an arch angel is acting out, or heaven is in danger. Heaven isn't under attack , no arch angel was causing a ruckus and as you say the lives of others are safe, then why am I BEING YELLED AT BY MY FATHER!?"
Delton flung Malick's desk across the room in his rage, before he could do anything else Sabrina put her hand on his shoulder to calm him back down.
Malick "Delton calm down, If you start flexing your angelic muscles you will scare the nearby people. They can't quite handle the power of an archangel program host such as yourself."
Delton "You are right. Shall we start from the beginning? I sent the proctor here with orders from father to issue a test. Everything was going as planned, then you tried to kill a boy named Cole Yankell. Later the final test was issued as instructed and everything was going fine up until a boy filled the air with the blu-skye compound. A Formula I would say is highly is Classified. This boy then draws a holy weapon, not just any holy weapon, oh no no no. The holy weapon was my spear tip, that he then used to try and lop of the head of Cole Yankell."
Malick " What do you mean someone tried to cut off a students head and has the compound for blu-skye?"
Delton "YOU KNOW DAMN WELL WHAT I MEAN!"
Malick "Arch angel or not, you have no jurisdiction on my campus or over my students. Some of our students may be over zealous but the situation was under control. So watch your tone, you wouldn't be anywhere without me. It'll be wise to remember that. With that said this 'interrogation' is over. Please leave."
Delton "Excuse me, Edgar. I hate to break it to you but the one who's jurisdiction to govern this land is currently having his throat repaired by our sister so I will have to do as his stand in. If you wish to remain coy, fine. I know why I was called. One of my siblings was going to die today and father does not like it when they do. Especially when it wasn't sanctioned by him. You know this all too well don't you?"
Malick "Nonsense, total foolishness. Are you implying that I wanted revenge? Or that I somehow orchestrated these false events?"
Sabrina "Then mind explaining to us how a fifteen year old boy got his hands on the spear tip and is trying to decapitate our younger brother?"
Malick "The boy had a grudge against Cole. Who knows what methods he went through to kill him."
Sabrina "Sure maybe if it were a regular knife, but this was the spear of destiny. Not just any person can get their hands on it. So, since you know everything on your campus how did the boy get the spear tip?"
Malick "No clue. These children are a lot different than when I was a soldier."
Delton "it's alright father knew you had it the entire time. It is my fault as I was told to retrieve it from you and I begged father not to kill you. I told him in your hands it will be safe until I need it. I never thought you would be so piggish to blame your failings on a child. We should've stopped him on that day."
Sabrina "Edgar G Malick you are being indicted for the crimes of one count of endangerment, two counts of attempted murder, once count of attempted murder of an arch angel, one count of fraud, one count of treason and one count of disobedience. How do you plea?"
Malick "Not guilty! I will not be afraid of this kangaroo court."
Sabrina "Presiding on the court is God, the lord of the heavenly host. All kneel!"
Everyone in the room except for the skeptical Malick, kneels as Sondi appears in the observatory. Although in the body of Sondi it wasn't him at the time. His eyes had tiny speckles of light shards that shone in a rainbow of colors like refractions in a pure white crystal. God stood there with a loving and caring smile but everyone in the room could feel his anger boiling over. The arch angels covered their faces with their wings hoping his wrath would not be directed in their way. The proctor lowered her had not wanting to make eye contact with the entity before her.
Malick "Who are you supposed to be?"
God "I am Yahweh. Malick, I heard you weren't the most behaved of my children and from my understanding you wished to defy my orders. Is this correct?"
Malick "No, these statements are false."
Malick stood mere inches from God staring him in his eyes with no fear and with the purest convictions in his plan to kill Cole. Malick wasn't about to bow to a god he didn't believe in nor a man who claimed to be god, he was better than that, he felt above it all.
God "These statements are false? So two of my most respected angels are lying?"
Malick "Yes, the came barging in and tired to make me confess to something I didn't do!"
God "Is that so? Fine, How did a child get the idea to cut off the head of my child with the blade? That is information that only arch angels and I should know."
Malick "The child is violent and wanted to humiliate the boy."
God "then why not stab him a bunch? Why not just stab him in the heart? Or from the position he was in slit his throat? The blade isn't sharp and takes a considerable more amount of strength to cut. It is a spear tip after all."
Malick "I cannot answer for the actions of the child. Johnathan had a grudge and it was personal to him."
God "You have a response for everything, don't you?"
Malick "Should I not? Am I not on trial?"
God "Malick, I told you that you'd be the one to decide the worlds fate. So my last question. What have you decided? Destruction or salvation? Life or death? Good or evil?"
Malick "you asked me nothing, you false god."
Sabrina "Answer the question!"
God "Now, now Gabriel settle down."
Sabrina "Yes, father."
Malick "Look at them bowing to a false god like dogs."
God "Just answer the question, please Malick. What have you chosen? It's okay, I am sure your god loves you regardless of any sins you may have committed, but I can guarantee he will not forgive you if there is even one lie."
Malick "*hmph* Fine I will play along. I chose salvation."
God "Good! He wishes for it the same as you. I have reached a decision! Malick, before the heavenly host you are found innocent of all crimes you have been accused of."
Delton "Father on what grounds?"
God "There is no evidence other than hearsay."
Sabrina "Father! Please reconsider. He is guilty!"
God "Do you question my authority? Gabriel, Michael I said he is not guilty."
Delton & Sabrina "Yes father."
God "Malick, You will no longer fight Cole. He will take you on. May your god have mercy and gives you the salvation you begged for. I Bid you a fare well."
Arch angels in unison "HE SPOKE AND SO SHALL IT BE! THE HEAVENS, EARTH, AND EVEN THE DEPTHS BELOW PRAISE HIM FOR HIS VIRTUOUS JUDGEMENT IS JUST, RIGHT, AND TRUE! HALLELUJAH! AMEN!"
As if he were never there in the first place, God vanished without a trace.
Sabrina "What of the boy? Shall he be free too?"
Delton "Don't worry Sabrina, our fallen sister pleaded with father to decide his fate personally."
As mysteriously as they appeared they disappeared all the same. When the realization of what happened hit him, Malick dropped to the ground in debilitating fear. Moments later Cole woke in the schools infirmary as if nothing ever happened. He didn't want to question how it happened or even what happened, Cole was just glad to be alive and no longer in pain.
Proctor "What a scary match folks! As per our rules Johnathan Angel is Disqualified for trying to kill another student. Cole Yankell is the winner. Next match Aslalo Chafer versus Angillina Vizzkarra, shake hands and begin."
Aslalo and Angillina began their fight like any other, first feeling out their opponent then picking up pace to win. As they duked it out Johnathan woke up in his hospital room confused about what happened to him. As he looked out the hospital window he saw the sun shining, heard the birds chirping, children playing, and all of the beautiful scenery of Eden. Johnathan was finally at peace with himself and the world around him, he didn't remember much after slicing into Coles neck. The doctor told Johnathan he suffered a minor concussion but there was nothing to be worried about, so Johnathan went to sleep and when he awoke he saw a beautiful with dark red eyes and silver hair injecting some sort of drug into his I.V. tubing.
Johnathan "So they let you people work in hospitals now? They really are trying to integrate you into society as if you belong here. Whatever, your friends have died and its only a matter of time before you join them demon."
The nurse turned to Johnathan and spoke in such a subtle and calm tone, shivers went down Johnathan's spine. Her voice triggered memories of only one person who could talk in such a way, Jody. The reality of his situation hit him like a ton of bricks. He screamed softened and raspy whispers, he tried to run but couldn't move his body to even twitch away from the darkness that was enveloping him. Johnathan was stuck in a room with her.
Jody "Hellooo Johnny boy!"
Johnathan "Why are you here? I must be going crazy. Yeah… that's it… first James now Jody. I'm seeing dead people all over."
Jody "I can assure you are not going crazy. You wanted to know why am I here? Funny you should ask. My dad put out an all-points bulletin ALE, picture my surprise that I was included. Strange I know, me being lucifer n' all. You start one rebellion and suddenly your not invited to family events. You know they even took me out of the Christmas card. Shhh, hush little one, the drug is taking effect. You won't be able to scream or run. It's pretty high quality stuff. Anyhow I'm getting side tracked. The best part was the message inside of the ALE. My dear twin brother, the love of my life, my light in the darkness, my one and only betrothed was about to die. I wondered who it could have been? Last time we fought he wiped out most of my army without breaking a sweat, so Who was strong enough to even threaten him to the point he called out to dad? I know father told all of my siblings, none of them are to touch a single hair on his perfect little head. Imagine my surprise when I find you a lowly mongrel holding a blade that looks like my brothers spear up to his throat, spouting off nonsense about me. This myth of me leading those into damnation needs to go. I don't control what you guys do yet I'm always blamed. Do you know how unfair that is? To top it off father takes your side over his own flesh and blood children. Whatever, let's have a conversation. We can start with who gave you the blade and why? Don't lie, I'm already in a bad mood and would love nothing more than to paint this hospital with the blood of everyone in it. Is that what you want? I can easily grant that wish at no cost to you. so what will it be?"
Johnathan "Principal Malick gave me and Aslalo a blade to kill Cole. if I were unable to for any reason then Aslalo was to kill him."
Jody "Dad you hear that? The one you took the side of betrayed you! hahaha that's what you deserve for kicking me and Sammy out."
Johnathan "You are sick you know that?"
Jody "Hmm? How so?"
Johnathan "You violated my friends entire family and recorded it. You had a smile on your face entire time, even when you took his head and…and…"
Jody "the only reason I came to that house was to kill Teddy Ambler."
Johnathan "You evil bitch."
Jody "Stop that, how are we supposed to have a decent conversation when you are so rude? I allowed those who felt the need to ridicule my beloved to live. I don't deserve it. Apologize!"
Johnathan "Go fuck yourself, I'll apologize when hell freezes over."
Jody "I can arrange that."
Johnathan "Go away! Your face makes me sick."
Jody "Aww and I thought we were having a great conversation."
Johnathan "Just go away!"
Jody straddled Johnathan, as she got so close their noses touched. Her gaze pierced Johnathan in his deepest parts, all of the ones he wanted to remain hidden. He tried to hide his fear from Jody but it was no use, she already knew how he felt. The more fear that was instilled in Johnathan the more and more excited Jody became, the look of ecstasy on her face filled the frightened boy with even more anxiety than before.
Jody "I will leave just let me make sure I get this right, Kay? You the defendant Johnathan Angel made the following statement, 'Principal Malick gave me and Aslalo a blade to kill Cole. If I were unable to for any reason then Aslalo was to kill him.' You also blame me for the death of James, his family, and your suffering? You also see no fault of your own in light of being told what they were. Is this all correct?"
Johnathan "Yes, you actually told the truth for once."
Jody "I Satan, the accuser here by declares you guilty on all accounts. However, I will spare you from punishment by fathers decree. Mark my words, you harm a hair on Cole's head or even look at him the wrong way and I personally make sure you join James in begging for mercy that will never come. Every day will be worse than the last. I have been alive for eons so I can be very creative, do I make myself clear? I'll take your silence as a yes. Toy with me if you wish, Hades showed you what happens when I get annoyed. Imagine if I'm truly angry. Get some sleep, I will get an actual nurse to clean up your …mess."
Johnathan blinked and Jody was gone. Tears began to stream down his face as he sat there in disgrace. The little bit of peace he had, dashed away in a mere hour. Johnathan's somber tone soon turned into anger as he vowed to get revenge for being made a fool of and for what he has lost. The people who made him suffer will know the pain and embarrassment he faced.
