Ryu's POV
Blood dripped onto the floor as she twisted the blade. I couldn't use my augmentation or the entire station would blow up.
"Fuck you..." I winced in pain
"You already have." she said
"Dammit not in that way." I groaned
She pulled out the blade but stabbed it in a different area of my stomach. I coughed out blood as she pushed the blade deeper. My head was leaning against Demon's shoulder so as a last resort I bit her ear. She yelped in pain but I completely bit off her ear and she stumbled back, letting go of the blade. Blood dripped out of her side but then it slowly regenerated back into a full new ear. I spit out her ear and blood mixed with mine as she stood up and glared at me.
"You little shit." growled Demon
But I only bit her ear to give me some time to warn my team. I smiled and chuckled a bit for being able to outplay her a bit but I gasped as she kicked the blade deeper and I felt it pierce out through my back. I clutched my stomach as blood trickled down the cut of the blade.
Demon then turned me around and pulled the blade out from my back and I screamed in pain. I collapsed onto the ground clutching onto the cut but she placed her foot on my cut and applied pressure causing me to vomit blood.
"Ryu!"
Lydia came in and swung her sword at Demon but she threw the sword at her but Lydia blocked it with her sword. Kishimoto came and helped me up while Lydia held her off but Lydia was punched and kicked onto me and Kishimoto.
"Three augmenters against one." said Demon, "Doesn't seem fair, you should have brought more."
"Let's get out of here, we're abandoning this station." whispered Kishimoto
Kishimoto drew his nagamaki and pointed the tip to Demon.
"You two go, I'll hold her off." said Kishimoto
"That's suicide." I whispered
"Doesn't matter." said Kishimoto
"It'll be useless if we run. She'll catch up." I said
I slowly got up but collapsed onto one knee.
"She wants me, let her take me." I whispered
But then Kishimoto and Lydia were hit by the air and were sent flying backwards except for me. Demon approached me but I didn't back up, I knew there was no point in running. She kneeled in front of me and looked at my wound and pulled my hands away.
She then placed her hands on the wound and I felt something warm and nice and the pain went away. I looked down as she pulled away and my cut was no longer there.
"Huh? How? I mean why?" I asked
"Cause killing you isn't my priority." she replied, "Keeping you alive is."
She walked away and the black mist teleported her away leaving me confused.
"What the..." whispered Kishimoto
"That little bitch." growled Lydia, "What was the point of killing everyone in here?"
I got up as I kept checking my wound.
'What is she trying to do?'
"I need to go meet with her." I said, "Alone."
I ran to the transport room and teleported myself to hell back inside the castle.
"Demon! I want to talk!" I called out
She came out looking confused but when she saw me she smiled.
"Why did you come here?" she asked
"Why are you letting me live? I'm only going to get in the way." I said
She approached me and pinned me against the wall, both of arms were against the wall right next to my face.
"Are you really asking that question?" she asked
I thought about it and realized that it was because she still loved me.
"No I know why." I whispered
She smiled and lowered her arms but I started getting emotional.
"If you really love me, then please stop what you're doing." I pleaded
She looked at me and smiled.
"Sorry can't do that." she replied
I quickly kneeled in front of her and started crying.
"Then if you can't do that, please let my mom go. I'm begging you, I don't care about your plans or anything, I only care about my mom!" I cried, "Please let my mom go, it's the one and only thing I want right now."
I balled my hands into fists as tears dripped onto the floor.
"Please, just release her..." I said
She kneed in front of me and grabbed my jaw the way you would grab a dog's jaw and smiled her evil smile.
"You look so cute when you beg, like a dog." she said, "But I just can't."
I started to get angry but she hugged me.
"But I will because you wanted it." she said
She helped me up and snapped her fingers. The black mist appeared and there was my mom wearing some clean clothes.
"Mom!" I ran to her and hugged her
"Ryu! Are you okay? Where were you? What are you wearing?" she asked
I began crying as I hugged her.
"I'm fine, don't worry about it but are you okay?" I asked
"I'm fine, but where are we?" she asked
I looked behind and Demon just stood there not knowing what to do.
"Have your moment." she said
"Ryu what are you doing with her? You know that she's the queen of hell." she said
"Well, it's a long story." I sighed
I let go of her and started to get my story ready.
"Well uhh, during the attack at my school, I was involved. I saw myself getting killed by her and she chased after me. But Lydia and Kishimoto saved me and brought me to an organization called the MVA. The MVA is the multiverse association which keeps the different earths safe. So I had to join." I said
My mom looked confused and in disbelief. I could tell she didn't trust me at all.
"Mom look."
I began to summon lightning bolts on my hand and my mom gasped.
"I'm not a normal human being mom." I whispered
She looked at me and back at my hand.
"You're still my Ryu right?" she asked
"Of course I am." I replied
She then hugged me and started crying.
"I don't care if you aren't human, as long as you're my son then I'm fine." she said
I released the lightning bolts and hugged her back. But then Kishimoto and Lydia appeared in front of me, they looked worried but when they saw me and my mom together they lowered their swords.
"Ryu, let's go." whispered Kishimoto
I turned to look at Demon as she just smiled while crossing her arm.
"I guess I'll be seeing you around." I said
"Of course you would." she said, "But not as lovers."
"Lovers?" questioned my mom
"Lover? How can you say that when you raped him!" yelled Lydia
My mom gasped and held onto me tighter.
"She raped you?" she asked
"I uhh-"
"You can say that, but he seemed to enjoy it." said Demon
"Stay away from my son!" snapped my mom
Demon sighed and shook her head.
"Mom stop." I whispered
"How can you be so lenient with her? She raped you!" she yelled
"That's cause, we dated." I whispered
My mom was in utter shock and disbelief. She held onto my arms and started tearing up.
"Enough of this." sighed Demon, "Leave if there's nothing else."
"Wait, you three go. I still have a few personal things to talk to her about." I said
"Ryu we can't let you stay alone with her." said Kishimoto
"No I'm not letting you stay with her." snapped my mom
"Mom, please. It's personal." I said
Lydia grabbed my mom's arm and left. Kishimoto slowly put his sword away and nodded towards me before leaving.
"What is it you wanted to talk to me about?" she asked
"Is there anything, anything, I can do to convince you to stop this?" I asked
"How nice of you to ask." said Demon while smiling
"I just don't want this to continue." I replied
She smiled and approached me and hugged me.
"I can't, this world is too cruel to be let go." she said
I grabbed her shoulder and pushed her off
"There has to be another way." I said, "I'll do anything to prevent this."
She sighed and backed up.
"There's one thing you can do." she said
"What is it?"
"You're going to have to stop me." she said
"Is that really the only way?" I asked
She nodded and I rubbed my eyes.
"Fuck..." I groaned
"Go home." she said
I looked up at her as she crossed her arms.
"The next time we meet, it won't be as friends." I said
"I know." she replied
I requested a transport and I teleported back to the orbital station, well what was left of it. Lydia, Kishimoto and my mom were waiting for me there and my mom hugged me.
"So what happened?" asked Lydia
I looked down and sighed.
"Fighting is the only option." I said
"Then we're going to have to do that." said Lydia
"But how? How are three augmenters going to stop her? She'll kill us in a snap." I said
"We'll have backup. No worries." said Kishimoto
"No worries? She only uses 35 percent of her powers whenever she fights with us." I said
"Calm down, we'll be able to do it. Plus I have a plan." said Lydia
My mom hugged me tighter in fear.
"Are you going to fight?" she asked
"I have to." I replied
"Don't go." she whispered
"If I don't go, we'll all die." I replied
She was shaking her head in fear.
"I don't want you to die." she said
"I won't die, I promise." I said
"Ma'am, we have to go." said Kishimoto, "Not to fight, but to gather people."
My mom slowly let me go and backed up a bit.
"I already warned the MVA about you ma'am, they'll come to take you somewhere safer." said Lydia
I backed up onto the circle and looked at my mom as I teleported into hyperspace. I landed on some kind of desert near a couple of people. One had an orange attire while another guy looked like he was wearing some kind of vest with blue clothing on the inside.
"Who are you?" growled the man in blue
There was another guy behind them with the same attire as the one in blue but his hair was purple. One man was an alien, green with white clothing, he looked religious. There was a short bald guy with a short boy who looked like he was 12 years of age.
"We're here to talk." said Lydia
"About what?" asked the alien
"We need your help." said Lydia, "Your earth is in danger."
"By whom?" asked the bald man
"A woman name Demon, she's the goddess of hell and she's stronger than we are." said Lydia
"Well, we need to know how strong she is." said the man in orange
"Another fight." I sighed
I decided to end this quickly so I gathered up the storm and three lightning bolts hit me. The man in orange flashed and his hair turned yellow. He then disappeared surprising me so I slowed down time and looked around and saw him about to punch me from behind.
I back kicked him and he crashed straight through a mountain. The others gasped but the man in blue also lit up and his hair turned yellow. He ran towards me and he was really fast but I was faster. I duck under his swing and punch him and he too was sent flying away.
"What immense power is that?" the alien gasped in shock
"The woman we're fighting will be 10 times worse than me. That's why we need all of you, make a team. We need to stop her from destroying this universe." said Lydia, "We'll be back, make up your mind by then."
We left and landed on some earth that looked a bit modern but old at the same time, it was hard to describe it. But then I heard a car horn honk and a car behind us nearly crashed into us but Kishimoto put out his hand and stopped the car.
"Shit I misplaced the coordinates, quick cloak." said Lydia
I quickly became invisible and we jumped up and landed on a rooftop. But then I felt something eerie approaching us from behind, so I turned around and slowed down time to see a fast light approach me. I did a spinning hook kick and the light went which turned out to be a human crashing through multiple buildings. The civilians underneath us began to take cover or run around in fear, making them in danger.
"Take care of the civilians, I'll take care of him." I said
I turned visible and I saw the man, or a kid run straight to me ready to strike. He had an extra eye on his forehead and he had some dark aura around him like a shadow. I dodged his attack and hit his throat making him cough and gag.
He then screamed and the dark aura became darker and a dragon came out from him. It roared and looked at me in anger.
'Ah shit.'
"Now face the true power of a demon." said the boy
'If he's a demon, it'll be easy for Demon to control him. It'll be too easy and it'll be game over for him.'
The dragon roared and flew towards me but I dodged it with him and went behind him. I gathered lightning into my hand and I punched him and the entire city or town, whatever it was, erupted and blew up as he went flying away.
"Lydia, Kishimoto let's go." I said
"You just blew up the entire city!" yelled Lydia
"I know." I sighed
"But why are we leaving him?" asked Kishimoto
"He's a demon it'll be easy for Demon to control him and it'll be game over for him." I said
Lydia nodded and we entered hyper space.
