Chapter 25 - Cera & Jericho : The Under-World

The moisture was being torn from Cera Shadow's eyes as she spiraled through the air. Wind was ripping through her hair, she couldn't see a thing while free falling. Moments ago Neodeka had just crumbled to pieces and the ground vanished beneath her very feet.

Her stomach was doing summersaults but she was only worried about one thing in this terrifying moment. Cera focused, searching left and right to find Evan but he was nowhere to be seen. As she realized the worst case scenario a panic had sprouted in her mind.

"Don't let me dieeee"

Dx

The sound of Jericho's screech made her suddenly notice that he had wrapped himself around her waist while sobbing like an idiot.

"What are you doing? Let go, go away dude."

Cera was pushing him off with her hand clawing at his face and her foot kicking him away but Jericho was holding on for dear life.

"No nonono nooo I won't survive a fall like this, save meeee pleaseeee!"

"I don't care, I need to find Evan GET OFF MEEE"

"He's a goner! Didn't you see we were the last ones to fall?! DON'T LET ME DIE TOO"

A purple light flashed below them as their fall had descended from the darkness into something else entirely.

"We're losing time! If you don't do something quick it's all over!"

"Gahhhh! You're so annoying."

After a final scour of her surroundings Cera spread out her arms to slow their fall as much as possible and then slashed open a portal. Something strange happened as if her power had collided with another, but before she could react she found herself tumbling down a hill. Barreling over and over the course black sand was absorbing every impact yet blinding her as it scattered through the air.

She flipped this way and that before finally finding the bottom of the slope and splashing into a shallow body of water. The cool liquid had soaked her clothes and caused her to jump to her feet immediately. Although, she was so dizzy from spinning that she stumbled to the left and was greeted with a body slam as Jericho was tossed from above directly on top of her.

She could feel her blood boiling, a vein was bulging from her forehead while she contemplated destroying this man.

The only thing that stopped Cera from knocking the daylights out of Jericho was the sudden feeling that they were being watched. She wasn't sure who it was but she knew for certain that there were eyes on them.

"That's the first time someone highjacked my dimension gate. Tell me girl, what are you? A candidate? Are you with the world destroyers or…Don't tell me…Are you another Demi-God?"

From up above stood a man who wore full body armor, his hair was bright red as was his beard. His arms were covered in tattoos. His appearance was just menacing to say the least.

"Umm…What?"

Cera just looked at the strange man with a face that said 'I have no idea what you're talking about.'

"This guy looks like bad news man…we should probably get out of here. Do your teleport thing and make sure you take me with you."

Jericho was whispering into Cera's ear while the man slowly approached them.

"I would except I can only teleport somewhere I've been before and…I have no idea where we are right now. By the way, if I could then I would definitely leave you behind."

"Don't do me dirty like that man. Come on."

Heavy boots had planted into the black sand in front of them as the red haired man looked down on them. They were completely wet from the water and there seemed to be nowhere else for them to go at the moment.

"Sooo…Who exactly are you? Do you know where we are?"

Cera was the first to ask, though she sensed a villainous aura around that man.

"I am Jesshira, The Dark Chimera, I am the reincarnation of Anubis and... currently, you are in the Under World."
