Chereads / The Sentinels / Chapter 4 - Raising Hell

Chapter 4 - Raising Hell

The Sentinels had lost sight of Freya and were looking for her for ages. Sky was scared of one of the demons and Lionheart was beating the absolute shit out of him

Lionheart: HOW DARE YOU SCARE MY TEAMMATE!

Cyrus: Ugh! We didn't come here to play peek-a-boo with our last team member!

Kara: Calm down. I hate it here too but I'm not gonna bitch about it. Why do we really need this last member? We came all the way down to hell to get her.

James: She was the last team member I was assigned to get.

Cyrus: Isn't it obvious that he's one of B.L.A.D.E's dogs?

James: Okay look. I know who Freya is. I've met her before. She was just a child.

Sky: Wait, really?

James: I stumbled across hell one day and I ended up having to stay for a little while. I was living temporarily with a man named Aeacus. His daughter was Freya. Who hated it there. She wanted to see the surface and I promised her I would show it to her. But I never made it back. She probably hates me, but I don't break promises.

Cyrus: Are you serious? That's the reason?!

Kara: Awww! You're so kindhearted!

Sky: I never expected anything less.

Lionheart: Hey, what were we doing? I think that guy's down. Oh and also, I found some girl floating in that orange river.

James: The lava river?

Everyone went over to the river.

Sky: Kara, you coming?

Kara: Oh, I think I'd rather stay here. It's way too hot over there.

Sky continued on and left Kara standing there.

Lionheart: See?

Everyone looked down and saw Freya floating in the river.

James: I'll get her.

Sky: I can! I am probably more resistant to heat than you.

James: Give it a try then.

Sky covered herself in a barrier of energy. She jumped down and landed in the lava.

Sky: It's like a hot tub or something…

Sky picked up Freya and flew up and landed in front of everyone.

Sky: Alright, let's get outta here, fast!

Everyone reconvened with Kara. Who had her staff drew towards someone.

???: You know it's rude to point? Right?

It was Yuri.

James: Everyone. Stay calm.

Yuri: James, you didn't take long to put a team together. You know, I haven't been slacking either.

Yuri extended her hands and a group of people came from behind her. Hellion, Trawl, Dradado, the man in black clothes from earlier, the lady with a black aura surrounding her, and the man with a mask,

Yuri: Meet, Hellion, Trawl, My good friend Dradado, The incredible Hex, Lady Darkness and Malignity. More to come!

Lionheart: That's the evil woman?

Sky: Y-Yeah.

Kara: Yuri! You remember me?

Yuri: Kara? I do remember you, you should feel honored! You made me like this! I wouldn't have found this if it wasn't for you.

Yuri pointed to the gem that was around her neck.

Cyrus: That's the Offensive Stone!

Kara: Wait, you know what that is?

Cyrus: That is mine you bitch!

Yuri laughed at Cyrus.

Yuri: Well I took it first. So it's mine!

Lionheart: You are a child. You must face justice.

Lionheart jumped towards Yuri and went to throw a punch at her. But he fell to the ground. He couldn't breathe and his skin was getting slightly burnt

Yuri: Oh, is my air hard to breathe?

Yuri kicked Lionheart in the face and he fell out of Yuri's barrier. His nose was bleeding and he was unconscious.

Yuri: Why don't humans breathe on radiation? It's much better than your source!

A portal was made behind Yuri and her soldiers. The portal shut and they all disappeared through it. There was a line of demons and other people that were behind Yuri. They all had different types of weapons.

Cyrus: Oh lucky us!

There was a big man with a skull face and a sickle who was in the front of the crew. There was a woman wearing all black. She had long hair and red and black eyes, There were 6 other demons behind them.

Skull guy: You have something we want.

Sky: Who are those?

Kara: That's Reaper and Akuma Bhuta.

Kara pointed at all of them.

Akuma: I'm here to regain my pride! I was and still am the number 1 demon in hell!

Cyrus: Kara, do you still have that key?

Kara: I already told you, we can't escape with the key. We have to get out through the exit of hell. Which is perfect because it's behind those guys.

James: How about we split? Me and Kara will protect Freya and Lionheart

Sky flew up into the air and shot some blasts at Akuma. Who slapped them out of the way.

Akuma: A child? You will not take my crown!

Sky went in for a punch but Akuma dodged and grabbed her by the hair and hit her in the back with her feet and brought Sky to the ground. Sky brightened herself up so much that she blinded Akuma. Sky caused an explosion, sending Akuma in the air. Sky flew up and kicked her back down to the ground. Cyrus touched his titanium button on his suit and he became titanium. Reaper swung at him with his sickle. But Cyrus stuck out his hand and stopped the blade. Reaper shot a barrage of bones at Cyrus. Who was untouched. He threw an overhand punch. But Reaper sidestepped and hit Cyrus in the face with his sickle and dragged him to the ground.

Cyrus: Watch the merchandise!

Cyrus grabbed onto his sickle and bent it with his hand. Reaper threw it away and picked up Cyrus and a bone came through the ground to impale him. But it broke in two and scratched his suit. Cyrus picked up the bone and hit Reaper in the face. Kara swiped demon1's leg and made him fall to the ground. She took out her staff and stabbed the demon in the back. She got on top of his back and got him into a chokehold. She dragged him up and kneed him in the back and made him fall to the ground. She was slashed in the back by a demon and then pulled by another. Both of the demons restrained her. One of the demons cut her head off. Kara fell to the ground. But her head grew back and she got up. The demons were stunned.

Kara: God that always sucks. At Least I got new hair.

The demon punched her in the face and shot a blast of fire at her. Kara panicked and jumped up in the air. She came down and stabbed the demon through the stomach with her staff. She kicked the other demon and took her staff out of the demon and spun herself in the air and the shockwave from her landing made the demon fall back. Kara took this chance to run up and punch the demon in the stomach as he was falling. She kicked him away and into the lava river. Kara quickly distanced herself from the lava. James punched one of the demons across the lava river. He was put into a chokehold by a demon from behind. The demon kneed him in the back. He took his hand and rested it on the demon. He started to fly up in the air. James flew up and punched the demon into another demon. The other demon just ran away in fear. Sky was driven into the ground by Akuma next to Cyrus.

Sky: Hey! Tag out?

Cyrus scoffed and kicked Reaper away. He pulled Akuma off of Sky and punched her in the face. He threw a second punch but Akuma caught it and pushed him off. She tried to kick him in the balls but he sidestepped and grabbed her foot and threw her into the air. He jumped up to hit her but she teleported away and reappeared above Cyrus. She made a huge ball of energy and shot it at Cyrus. Sending him to the ground. She shot a bunch of other energy blasts which Cyrus tried to slap away. Sky broke one of Reaper's bones and hit him away. She flew in front of Cyrus and started absorbing all of Akuma's blasts. Akuma looked through the dust only to see a powered up Sky. Sky flew up towards Akuma.

Sky: Diamond Storm CI!

A bunch of diamonds flew at Akuma and pierced through her. Sky flew up and punched her in the stomach and shot an energy blast into her. Blasting her into the air and out of sight. Cyrus finished off Reaper with one of his bones by slapping his head off with it.

Sky: Nice work!

Sky put her hand up for a high five.

Cyrus: Thanks. I didn't expect anything less.

Kara: So that's over with...Let's get out of here! It's hot as hell!

Sky laughed at Kara.

James: Where do we take them?

Cyrus: I have one of many bunkers. It would be the perfect hideout.

Everyone was back on Earth. The Sentinels were standing on a huge field. Cyrus pulled up a root and it revealed a lever. He pulled the lever.

Cyrus: Back up.

A huge vault opened from the ground. Showing a huge hole and pulling up lots of grass.

Cyrus: Here it is. Get in before we get seen.

Everyone jumped down the hole. James and Kara had Lionheart and Freya. They found some beds and laid them down.

Kara: I'll try and bandage up Freya. She has a wound through her stomach. I'll do my best to heal her. I'll also bandage Lionheart's nose.

Kara left the room and left James, Sky, and Cyrus.

Sky: Well, the team is together.

James: We'll have to wait for them to heal.

Cyrus: Ugh, now I have to wait even more for them to invest.

Sky: James, what even inspired you to come back into hero work?

James: As a matter of fact. I was asked by B.L.A.D.E to take Yuri down. I was surprised that they asked but I tried. I lost against Dradado. He was next to Yuri earlier. He is already even more powerful than me. I can't let Yuri just continue destroying planets.

Sky looked frightened.

Sky: Is she really that powerful?

James: She knocked out Lionheart in one punch. She took a relic called the offensive stone years ago. I think that's how Kara knows her. It will take us at our best to defeat Yuri.

Sky: This is gonna be hard....

James: Well why are you a hero. It takes lots of heart to do this.

Sky: I watched heros like you all my life. You guys were all so cool! Then I found out I had my own powers. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to become my own hero.

Cyrus: Hey, you can swallow up energy. Can't you?

Sky: Yeah. What about it?

Cyrus: You'd better get over your fear because you might be able to actually get close to Yuri.

Sky took a deep breath.

Sky: I can do this…

Cyrus: I wouldn't talk out loud either.

Sky: Can you just shut up?

Cyrus: Just being honest.

James: We can't be a team like this if we're going to cause conflict. We are a team! Don't just slack because you're only in this for you.

Cyrus: Oh? I am not a slacker! I was up front in our fights. I'm risking my life for this cause. Everyone has their own reasons to be here. Why is mine bad? Kara's is literally a grudge. I don't even get why you two are even in this.

Sky: I wanna prove myself! If I'm really a hero, this will put me on the map!

Cyrus: Blah blah blah.

Sky: We-

Lionheart: Stop fighting! We are all one now! We're best friends!

Kara: That's the spirit! Freya hasn't woken up yet though.

Freya: What was that?

Kara: Perfect!

Freya: Who the hell are all of you?

Everyone but James introduced themselves to Freya.

James: All six of us are a team called the Sentinels. We are out to defeat a planet destroyer called Yuri.

Freya: And?

James: Um. You are ideally the sixth member.

Freya: If you are expecting to kill Yuri. Then you are sadly mistaken. We are six, she has ten by this point.

James: She didn't even have ten before.

Freya: I heard all about her in hell. She has a bounty for three million. I never tried because I would die. Brutally. If I split it with the six of you it wouldn't be close to worth it. So I'm not sticking around.

James: You can keep all the money if you help us!

Freya: Hey, you are James. Aren't you Mr. Untouchable? I remember you. You were in hell. Either way you are tempting me. Who is on her team?

Cyrus: Why do you need to know so bad?

Freya moved in the blink of an eye and slammed Cyrus to the wall. She was holding him by the neck.

Freya: Did I ask for your input? You should be taught a lesson.

Freya went to draw her sword.

Freya: Hey, where's my sword?

Freya thought hard and remembered.

Freya: Alright. I'm in. She destroyed my sword. That's not flying.

Kara: That easily?

Freya: Speaking of that, I need a new sword. I'll be back.

Sky: Hey! Aren't we a team? We should go with you!

Freya: Ugh, I'm just getting materials. I'll be back to make the sword. But tomorrow will be the day it might get dangerous.

James: In that case. Everyone get some rest. We will prepare for Yuri tomorrow.

Everyone settled down for the night. Freya stayed up all night working on crafting a new sword. The loud clanging of metal kept everyone who was next to her room up. The sword had a long curved guard that looked like devil horns. It had a grip that fit Freya's hand perfectly.

Freya: Perfect.
