Ryu's POV
Ever since that day, when we first kissed, we've been so close that I just don't know what I was going to do without her. We were on an earth that had some zombies in it but apparently their hearts are made out of steel making it hard for them to kill with the weapons the people had on this earth.
"Looks like they're about to betray them." I said
I watched as a gang of motorcycles were leading a horde of zombies into the city.
"Let's wait this one out." said Demon
"But innocent people will die." I said
"But we won't have evidence that their leader was the one who planned this." said Demon
I didn't know about that but I acknowledged it and just watched as the zombies entered the city, eating people and soldiers trying to fight back. But then a giant zombie looking monster came out and started destroying the inner part of the city.
"Let's go now." said Demon, "I'll take care of the big one, you take care of the ones near the warehouse."
I nodded and blasted off to the hangers where I saw a line of soldiers protecting the warehouse filled with people. The zombies were pretty slow so they were able to defend them pretty easily but then I saw a kid running out to help the soldiers and I saw a zombie on top of the hangar jump towards it.
I blasted and grabbed the kid just in time before the zombie got him. The line of soldiers gasped and the boy cried in fear. The zombie lunged towards me but I quickly slowed down time and beheaded it.
"Who are you? Are you here to help us?" asked a soldier
"Kid get inside." I said
The kid ran back inside the warehouse and I drew my other sword. I slowed down time and began beheading every single one of the zombies attacking the warehouse.
"What, what just happened? All I saw was a flash of lightning and now they're all dead..." said a surprised soldier
"Is he also a kabenari?" asked another man
I heard multiple steps and I saw other soldiers with black uniforms line up and they fired their guns at me. I slowed down time and I noticed that some of the bullets were heading towards the soldiers so I quickly grabbed all of them and put them in the warehouse.
"Huh? What happened?" asked a soldier
I got up and blasted towards the black uniformed soldiers and killed all of them, the only one I left alive was their commander who had white hair.
"You kabenari, I'll kill you!" he yelled
He aimed his gun and shot me but I blocked it with my sword. He threw his gun down and charged at me with his sword so I just grabbed his neck and electrocuted him to death.
"Who is he? No what is he?" I heard whispers behind me
More soldiers began to make their way to me.
"This is kind of getting annoying." I sighed
I decided to end this quickly so I raised both of my arms up and shot out multiple lightning bolts out my hands at the incoming soldiers. They all screamed in pain but I didn't stop shooting out lightning bolts until they were nothing but dust.
"Is he a god?" I heard whispers behind me
I was done and I decided to meet up with Demon but I didn't know where she was so I jumped up into the air and looked around the city and spotted Demon near a couple of train tracks.
I landed next to her but she beheaded a guy wearing red, his body falling down and blood spilling out. I gasped and stopped walking towards her as she held onto the hair of his head. I noticed some other people near us, a guy with green hair wearing glasses, a girl with short hair, another girl with orange hair and a fat guy. They all looked at us with shock and fear.
"D-Demon." I called out
She turned around and burned his head into ashes.
"You're done, let's go home then." she said
"Why did you kill him?" I asked
"He's the leader." she said
"Oh, I see." I replied
But really in my heart I felt a bit icky about her killing him.
"Why did you kill my older brother?" asked the girl with short hair
Demon turned to her and raised an eyebrow.
"You call him a brother after what he did?" asked the boy with green hair
The short girl looked away in sadness.
"Let's go Ryu." said Demon
"I uhh..."
"Is there a problem?" she asked
"I just don't think that it's our decision to-"
She cuts me off by teleporting me to a barren part of the land and she punched my chest hard and I was launched backwards at least 2 miles away. She approached me and I sat up and back up in fear as she got closer.
"So you're saying you would let them decide huh? What if they let him live? What then?" she asked
Her eyes turned black, showing that she was pissed.
"Wait wait I'm sorry for being careless and thoughtless." I frantically apologized
But she then extended her arm and her arm disappeared into me and I felt pain in my heart, it felt like there were fingers wrapping around it. She lifted me up as I screamed in pain as she slowly squeezed my heart.
"Do you think my judgement is wrong?" she growled
"No I'm sorry I should have thought about it a lot more!" I screamed in pain
"You're smart and you didn't think of that?" she asked
"No I was just straight minded for-"
I screamed in pain mid sentence as she squeezed a bit tighter.
"Do not ever, talk to me without thinking about it." she said
"But we let the giant monster boy go." I cried
"That was a mistake as well but I let it slide." she said, "But this one, I can't let it slide."
She let me go and I collapsed onto the ground and clutched the part where my heart is and tried to ease the pain by massaging it.
"You're slacking a lot lately." said Demon
"Please forgive me, I won't make the same mistake." I pleaded
"It better be." she said
I nodded without looking at her. She teleported us back to hell but the pain in my heart was still there.
"The pain won't go away until the next day, I expect you to think about what you did wrong." she said
She leaned towards me and grabbed my hair and pulled me up.
"I'm not the type of girl who wants mistakes in a mission. No matter what you are to me I will not have any room for mistakes." she said
I nodded and she let my hair go and left me on the floor in pain.
'Shit I can't believe I fucked up without thinking.'
I couldn't hold in the pain and I quietly cried in pain and tried making my way back to the castle but I kept falling to the ground every time I managed to get up.
"I'm sorry, please get rid of this pain." I whispered in pain
After about an hour of excruciating pain, I finally managed to get to the castle door but then I thought about it.
"Would entering the castle be what she wants?" I whispered
No it wouldn't be because it'll just show that I'm weak and I'm not thinking about my mistake but I'm thinking about going inside. So I decided to wait outside the door by sitting there and just closing my eyes and thinking about my mistake but I couldn't with such excruciating pain.
"It hurts." I cried

1 day later
I couldn't get a blink of sleep last night and now I was on my knees in front of Demon who looked down at me with her arms crossed.
"I see you've thought about it." she said
I firmly nodded, I was trying to avoid eye contact so I was looking at her shoes.
"You're not going to make the same mistake right?" asked Demon
"I won't, I promise." I replied
She patted my head and hugged me causing me to tear up.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that excruciating pain last night." she said
"No I kind of deserved it." I replied
She kissed my cheeks making me feel better.
"Go get some rest, I have some personal matters to take care of back at home." she said
I wanted to know what it was but I decided not to ask so I nodded and she disappeared. I got up and reentered the castle but then something felt off as if someone was watching me. I looked around the hallway but I saw nothing. I decided to walk around the castle and look for anything off until I got to two doors that Demon told me not to open.
"Damn it feels like it's calling me to open it." I whispered to myself
I slowly reached for the door knob and when I laid my hands on it I started feeling guilty but I slowly twisted the knob and to my surprise it opened. I slowly opened the door and led me to a dark room but nothing came out.
"There's nothing in here, was she lying?" I questioned myself
I slowly entered the room and I couldn't see anything at first until I spotted a torch near the door so I grabbed it and I used my lightning bolts to set the torch on fire. I looked around the room and I saw that the walls were covered with papers and other things. I saw a desk against a wall so I approached it and it was covered with a bunch of papers.
I picked up one and it was a drawing of an earth with letters around it so I began reading it and the picture of the earth was earth prime. I looked around and saw something else and I picked it up and began reading.
"If one controls earth prime, they have the power of every single world." I read
My heart began beating faster than usual.
"What is that supposed to mean." I questioned myself
I continued reading.
"One who controls, can gain access to destroying the earths." I gulped in fear, "And the power to make new ones."
I gasped in fear as I realized what Demon was trying to do.
"She wasn't trying to save earths, she was just doing it for me." I said, "Her real plans was to rule the multiverse."
I kept reading.
"One must destroy the core of the multiverse, a strong spell that is guarded by the strongest warriors in all of the multiverse, one must destroy it and become it."
'What the hell is this saying?'
"One who accomplishes this, will become god of all earths." I continued reading
'So if you destroy whatever spell is there, you become a god and you can destroy all the earths and make new ones?'
I started doubting myself, no way Demon would do that. She was such a good person, I even hold feelings for her.
I grabbed more papers until I found a paper that had quote signs on it.
"It's prophesied that there will be two individuals who will be able to unlock the powers of the phoenix and the thunderbird." I read
Powers like this? Is there someone stronger than Demon she's trying to hunt down? What is it?
I looked around the walls and looked a bit higher and I gasped. There was a huge map of every earth, at least millions of it drawn on the huge piece of paper, some with large X marks on them.
"No, she can't be the one who's going to destroy all the worlds..." I whispered
I backed up and turned around to walk out but at the door entrance stood Demon.
"D-Demon!" I gasped in fear
"Didn't I tell you, not to go in here?" she whispered
'SOS!'
I slowly pressed my chest and felt a button so I pushed it but I made it look like I wanted to cry.
"I'm sorry I just felt some weird presence calling me to open the doors." I lied
"You made a big mistake right now." she hissed
I backed up against the desk in fear.
'I have to get out of here.'
"You lied to me." I said
"I didn't." she replied
"You're destroying other innocent worlds." I said
"Not a single world is innocent." she said
She slowly drew her sword and I felt fear overwhelm me. I blasted off towards her and ran past her, out of the room and I made my way out of the castle but then something hit the back of my head and I fell to the ground. I tried getting up but Demon stomped on my back pinning me down.
"Now, I have to do something for you." she said
I tried squirming out but she placed her hand on my head and I started feeling drowsy.
'No stay awake.'
But I couldn't keep my eyes awake and I blacked out.
