A gentle smile, a soft touch, and a masculine fragrance permeating through the air, all to make Angillina all the more thoughtless in her actions and beliefs.
Tony "Thank you. My name is Tony Entroga, may I ask who I have the delight of speaking with?"
Ada'levene "Her name is Angillina Vizzkarra, she is my new incomer."
Tony "Ada you've had some beautiful ones before but her...it's unreal. Angillina what do you want from being a star?"
Angillina "I want to be noticed by everyone! The pretty lights, the red carpets, the glam of it all."
Tony "You know there are people who will follow you around, might be a bit dangerous, and even sometimes trick you."
Angillina "It's okay, I can avoid all that."
Ada'levene "Oh yes this one is rather special."
Tony "Even more so than she already is?"
Ada'levene "Yes, she can be anyone you want."
Tony "Oh really now? That's amazing. You must be a really talented girl."
Angillina "Yeah, I try really hard everyday. It was really hard practi…"
Tony "Mhmm that's nice. Say how much is your pay?"
Angillina "Um? Ada?"
Ada'levene "Since you are a bit different than my other applicants forty percent, but tony the fee is also double."
Tony "Sheesh that's expensive."
Ada'levene "You'd also be her first customer."
Tony "Okay? Still can you lower the fee?"
Ada'levene "Tony I don't think you get it. You will be her FIRST customer. I'm sure you'll be pleased with her performance."
Tony "Still the fee is high. Especially for someone inexperienced. Say how about a discount this one time Ada?"
Ada'levene "Angillina, you see he's playing hardball. He wants you to perform for him, but he doesn't want to pay the price. What do you do next?"
Angillina "I may be an inexperienced amateur but I have been studying and practicing really hard, you will be my first client and I would be honored if you can make an exception just this once."
Tony "Well said, cute, soft...You'll make it far in the bizz kid. Twenty million will be deposited into the account for her and if she does well I'll add a tip as well."
Ada'levene "Deal! Thank you for your business. Angillina, tell me how it goes."
Tony laughed like a small child getting a toy his mother promised him, gripping Angillina by the hand and disappeared into the crowd. Angillina's stomach turned, something felt off. The man was so nice but she could tell he wasn't nice to her for no reason, he wanted something but the thought of what exactly that was made Angillina even sick to her stomach. Once they entered an area completely devoid of people, Tony's demeanor changed, he no longer was the kind gentleman Angillina met him as. His eyes darkened with impure thoughts, his words lost their kind and sweet tone, finding bitter reality striking her ears with it's painful thunder. His commands started small, dance, sing, do a twirl maybe two, all in good fun, all for an opportunity, they were simple tasks anyway. As the command became more demanding Angillina began to get more nervous and unwilling. However, Tony didn't get angry, he didn't yell or scream. He pulled a small blue pill from his coat pocket and ordered Angillina to take it. The bitter tasteless tablet laid on her tongue making her face contort in absolute disgust, She choked it down and within seconds the world slowed while she moved twice as fast. The fear and anxiety she felt before was gone in an instant. Angillina felt as if she could truly make a life out of this. She danced, giggled, and played all around, from dancing to laying on a bed to dancing again Angillina's mind couldn't focus on any one single thing until she felt a sharp pain strike her between her legs, before she could scream in protest Tony covered her mouth, silencing any decent that may have came. Angillina's tears rolled over Tony's hand, her face contorted in pain but the pill wouldn't have it. Even though she was crying, even though it hurt, Angillina's mind couldn't register anything but bliss. After a few moments Tony cleaned the area making sure to leave no trace of anything that happened in that room, kissing Angillina on her forehead before leaving with a sinister smile. Angillina wiped the tears from her eyes, took a deep breath, and went out to the living room. Anyone that wasn't drunk, leaving or too busy in their own escapades collectively gasped at the sight of Angillina's glowing red eyes and a red stained dress to match. Ada'levene quickly covered Angillina with a tablecloth, yelling for everyone to leave, but Angillina smiled and moved her hands away.
Angillina "It's okay, we are here to have fun right? Let's have fun everyone! Whew! Yeah this music is nice."
Ada'levene "Angillina? Are you sure you are okay?"
Angillina "I am now. I realized what you meant by what you said."
Ada'levene "Oh? And what was your realization?"
Angillina "These people don't care about me, they just want to be entertained, so I must do my job and entertain by any means necessary. Even if it means to give my body up for the slightest chance to climb the ladder. There is a sort of freedom to this way of thinking. It's just work and I can enjoy life when work is over."
Ada'levene "That's the spirit...Angillina...Angillina...ANGILLINA!"
Angillina "Yes? Ada, can you stop yelling I'm right here."
Ada'levene "Angillina WAKE UP, THEY ARE SIEGING THE CASTLE!"
Angillina "What? I'll talk to you later."
Angillina walked off and continued to entertain her guest when she saw her mother passed out foaming from her mouth. A sight that would have filled anyone with heart ache made Angillina feel nothing, not a single thing, she just wiped the foam from her mothers cold blue lips, smiled and continued on.
While Angillina enjoyed the luxuries of her dreams Cole and the gang weren't so lucky. Dodging demons and magics being shot at them, they pushed through the defenses of the demons into Angillina's throne room. Angillina's AIEs were fading slowly back and forth, red to blue, red to blue. Cole walked up to Angillina and pulled the needle out of her arm, slapped her a couple times to try and wake her up to no avail. Cole half heartedly trying, shrugged his shoulders concluding he did all he could.
Cole "Well that was underwhelming… Whatever. Went through an entire arc for what? Nothing. I want to fight! I have all this energy!!!"
Aslalo "I hate it but I agree. Doesn't seem strange she was just here? There were guards but nothing special."
Naiomi "Maybe she overdosed? Some rehabilitation would be nice since she is in a catatonic state."
Jasmine "Her heart isn't beating. She's dead."
Cole "Nah, I've seen dead people. She is far from dead. Woah, her soul is massive."
Samael "She truly became a goddess. This is the soul of a god, she is above death at this point."
Cole "What should we do then?"
Samael "This is normally where I'd step in but I can't since ya know...I'm currently stuck inside you."
Cole "Aw gee thanks..so helpful...really revolutionary."
Deablos "Lop her head off and feed into the revenge aspect of the students."
Angelos "That's an idea but they already see him as a violent dictator, so how about a less violent approach?"
Cole "And that would be?"
Angelos "Um how about we tie her up and put her in a dungeon?"
Cole "I like that but I also like the cutting off the head...Sammy?"
Samael "I personally say cut her head off but Angelos has a point. It would be best to save her and prove your innocence to the school."
Cole "Well I guess…"
simon "You thought this was it?"
Cole "Huh!?!"
Naiomi "What? How?"
simon "I was waiting for so so long. I'm free now, she can't suppress me anymore."
Aslalo "Who are you?"
simon "My name is Samael, but I go by Simon these days."
Cole "HAHAHAHAHAHA you sure about that?"
simon "Yes I am, Who else would I be? I have the power of life and death in my hands. The power of a god and a body that can handle it!"
Samael "So strange? Meltoth are you seriously impersonating your father right now?"
Meltoth "D-d-dad!?"
Samael "Hello boy, how are ya? Would you mind making it easy for me?"
Meltoth "I've been waiting for this day! I will devour you."
Samael "*sigh* I thought you'd say that...Oh well… I hate killing my kids."
Meltoth "You should have thought about that before you abandoned us. Fuck you and everything you stand for."
Samael "Such strong language young man."
Aslalo "They are your kids?"
Samael "Yea kinda? Some aren't, some are, depends really. The older ones yes, some are my sisters kids, some were created in hell. This one is really bratty and has a particularly nasty bite."
Naiomi "So he's poisonous."
Samael "Venomous but yeah."
Cole "Can you not!? It's getting really annoying to wake back up."
Samael "Stop going to sleep then. I don't know what to tell you."
Meltoth "I will not be ignored!"
Cole "Hey, don't you see grown folk talking?"
Meltoth "Blood thicker than sludge, blood darker than the night, through blood my enemies fight. Blood magic…"
Cole appeared in front of Meltoth almost egging him to finish as he put one finger on his lips. Meltoth, angered by Cole's disrespect, slaps his hand away to finish his spell being slammed into the wall by Naiomi before he was able to even utter a word. The group took turns keeping Meltoth silent while the others figured out a plan to finish him permanently. Debating over whether or not death was the right answer Cole came to a sudden realization, he stopped fighting, his breath became still and his mind clear as he softly approached and knelt in front of Meltoth. As he tried to crawl away Cole gabbed Meltoth by his ankle bringing him back beneath him. A soft somber emotion over came Cole as he stared into the half blue and red eyes of Angillina. She was a victim like him, he could see the trauma she went through and the anger Meltoth fed off of. Aslalo put his hand on Cole's shoulder to try and get him to act but passes out shortly after drained completely, dark ominous energy flowed from Cole. With a single tear sliding down his soft cheek, Cole formed his holy blade and prepared to stab Angillina, finally putting an end to the death and destruction she caused. At that moment Cole asked Meltoth in a soft, forgiving voice…
Cole "Meltoth...Do you want to die?"
Meltoth "Huh? What are you saying?"
Cole "Do you want to die?"
Meltoth "No, why would I want to die?"
Cole "Then why do you harm others? Is it for power or some goal?"
Meltoth "I didn't harm anyone! It was Angillina."
Cole "I see...May I speak with her?"
Meltoth "For what? So you can preach to her about doing the right thing? So you can try and change her heart? Hahaha what a joke."
Cole "You're scared aren't you?"
Meltoth "Scared of what? You? Hahaha Please."
Cole "No, you are scared of being alone. You attached yourself to her because you can feel the hate emanating off of her."
Meltoth "She is just a tool, someone easy and ready to be taken."
Cole "Probably, but why her? Why not the thousands of other students much weaker mentally and physically? It's because you felt it. You felt her hate towards everyone and everything for being abandoned. It's such a horrible feeling isn't it?"
Meltoth "Hahaha such a naive boy! Why would I care about being abandoned? I just want the world to suffer, I want everyone to sin and die so I can torture them for eternity."
Naiomi "Cole finish it. You aren't going to change his mind. Angillina now is as good as dead."
Cole "My father told me 'when you are in a trench you can't see the pain of those on a pedestal' at first I didn't understand but what he was basically saying was we all suffer. If that applies to humans would it not also apply to demons? He is alone, afraid, and lashing out because he doesn't know how to ask for help. This is all he ever knew, born to make those unfortunate enough to cross him suffer. I don't believe he can't change...because if he can't then...it doesn't matter. I will save everyone regardless of what they did. Now Meltoth I ask again, do you want to die?"
Meltoth "No...I don't."
Cole "Then crawl back to your little corner and let me speak to Angillina."
Meltoth "Sure...Fine, whatever. I don't care."
Angillina "I SAID NO, I DON'T LIKE THIS!"
Cole "Hey, hey, hey...Angillina you are safe."
Angillina "Where am I? Cole! You were supposed to be dead! Get off of me."
Cole "Are you okay?"
Angillina "I'm fine but you won't be."
Cole "Stop, before you do something you will regret. I don't want to fight. Your soul, it's crying…"
Angillina "Shut up!"
Cole "I noticed it during the tournament. It's constantly crying, begging even. Angillina would you like help?"
Angillina "Yes I do."
Cole "Good! Let's get you the help you need. Step down from being queen of the school and try to be a better person."
Angillina "I want help...Just not the help you're offering."
Cole "Then how can I help?"
Angillina "Bow down and die!"
Angillina spit in Cole's face, the red liquid burning his skin and foul smell made him gag and recoil off of Angillina, now on her feet she launches into a full attack on the group. Angillina blasted Naiomi with a wave of acidic blood, not skipping a beat she lands a fierce combo on Jasmine. Aslalo trying to recover what little power he could sent a thunderbolt directly into Angillina. Brushing her hair aside, Angillina brushes off the weak attack and slams Aslalo into Naiomi just as her blade was to meet Angillina's throat. Cole watched on as his ragtag team was being absolutely decimated by Angillina's onslaught. The sheer power made Cole grip his sword in fear, but not of Angillina, he was afraid of acting. In his hands he held the power to end Angillina within a second, but would that really solve the problem? Would that actually do anything but make another one arise? Every question made Cole more fearful than the last, his indecisiveness made him question everything.
Samael "So is this the limit of your resolve?"
Cole "No it isn't."
Samael "I thought you were ready?"
Cole "I AM."
Samael "Hahaha you sure don't act like it. Maybe you don't want to lead?"
Cole "Stop!"
Samael "Stop? Stop!? Your indecisiveness is going to get your poor excuse for friends killed. Make a choice, life or death? Does she live or does she die?"
Cole "Shut up!"
Samael "Choose! Now! Do something! ANYTHING!"
Cole "I CAN'T!"
Angillina stood atop the bodies of her victims unscathed by their weak attacks and faulty resolve. They did their best to fight on despite being utterly thrashed around like bugs in a jar. Angillina in a moment of pride started to laugh and spew curses at the blessed students that laid before her, stepping on Aslalo's head, spitting in Jasmine's hair, but Naiomi wasn't so lucky. Angillina gripped Naiomi by her collar, raising her bloodied body up to eye level to look her in the eyes as she ripped patches of hair out, scratched her near flawless skin, and punched her in the gut making Naiomi throw up her breakfast.
Angillina "Thank you Cole. I feel so much better now. What wonderful toys, I don't have to hold back. I don't have to hold back, I don't have to resist. I can indulge in giving pain."
Cole "I see, I was a fool…"
Angillina "You realize that now? So dumb to think you can beat me. I'm like the pinnacle of what you can achieve."
Cole "Why? Angillina, why do you strive to be the best? What's in it for you?"
Angillina "What are you doing? Is this some desperate attempt to try and trick me into sparing you? Cuz like it's totally not going to work."
Cole "No tricks, just really want to know. Where does it end? The fear, the hate, the blood? Where does it end?"
Angillina "It ends when I am standing above everyone. When I decide enough's enough. I am A queen and I will do as I please."
Cole "I see...Then I have no choice. It is a fool's job to entertain the royalty so shall we start?"
Angillina "Showered In hate I seek to stun all those who would cross me. Blood magic: Paralyzing rain."
Cole "Please like something so weak could stop me."
Cole leapt out of the way of Angillina's vicious attack, landing right where she stood. Stunned by Cole's speed Angillina could do nothing more than stand by as she was punched square in the chest rattling her insides as if a gong went off signifying the start of the match. Cole didn't let up one bit as he tried to take Angillina's head in one swipe of his blade missing her just under it. Angillina being no slouch herself spun behind Cole To deliver a devastating kick to his spine. The queen and her fool stared at one another with the piercing stare of a pair of lions defending their territory, ready to pounce at the slightest movement. Cole's heart started to flutter, his hands shook and his knees began to buckle as they were going weak, He knew in his heart this battle was it, his last chance to prove to the school, no, prove to himself that everyone has the ability to stand and face what is right and wrong. That no one can take on the world's burdens alone and even if they foolishly did they would still have back up when they needed it. Cole gave a little smirk that turned into a chuckle.
Angillina "What's so funny? Do you see how stupid this is?"
Cole "Yea, it's right up there with thinking being queen all of your problems will disappear."
Angillina "I see the fool has jokes. You aren't funny and you are getting annoying."
Cole "Then may I have this dance with you?"
Angillina "Quite the gentleman. Come show me what you can do."
