After squashing all the power out of both her daughter and husband; Dureka(Devil queen), turned to face the good for nothing bloke, as her daughter described. She said;
"He's a man with no wits, he's a scumbag, feeding on a girl he doesn't even care about… a scumbag who misused his power which his father, the God of creation gifted him… he's nothing without his powers, he's helpless, wallowing child who loves to find himself pain and then weep over the past which the eternity can't change…." She continued with many more vanquishing insults for him, but they were not needed to be heard, at least for Dureka.
It all started when Lezan was called out for help by the God of creation, Dureka wasn't convinced with the reasons God gave for the recruitment of Lezan… she tried every once of lies, which filled her very existence, but nothing could stop Lezan…
"You want that woman to be queen still don't you Lezan? That bawd… You're jealous of that old God aren't you? That he has taken the most powerful and beautiful devil to him… " Lezan ignored her words and clutch opened the doors of hell, and just departed with a few words for her…
"Say whatever you want Dureka, but can you look at yourself right now?"
"Why can't I, I am the most beautiful devil of all and the queen of this hell… "
"And aren't you a mother?" Lezan now shifted his gaze towards Dureka's averting eyes. Lezan continued without giving any time to her for coming out with something to quaver his focus. "You know what she said a few days ago? She said something no parent should ever hear… She asked me… " Lezan's lips trembled while saying it… "… She asked me, 'How can I smile more while they put that thing inside me?'.... 'Why do I feel so weak after it dad?'… 'Mom says I can become happy by the the overwhelming pain I feel when they shred me from inside'… 'After they are done with their entertainment, they do something to my stomach, it hurts dad… " He couldn't continue anymore. His eyes were red and tears rolled down his eyes. Lezan who didn't cry even when his father died was crying.
"It's hell, it's supposed to be like that... "When Dureka said that, Lezan almost chocked her to death but he let her go. He knew it was all his fault that he couldn't look after them, the way they deserved. But he couldn't just forgive a woman who was such a great queen to such miserable things with her daughter and other children.
"I could have told her what her mother did to her was not happiness but worse than hell… I have warned all the demons against entering here anymore…"
"But they looked after the dynasty after you were gone… "
"Looked after? Huh... I was such an imbecile to believe you as the ruler…... You think you're weak just because you're a woman? Pathetic! I hereby dethrone you, and this world doesn't have a ruler until I come back you hear me? I am not killing you… but if you do anything malicious anymore, you know where immortals go after they die right?" with that he left, but he knew that Dureka will do something soon.
Lezan met with God of creation in the proximity dimension, He told Lezan what had happened and what the plan was. God's and Devils were never friends, but the situation was asking for their cooperation so they did…
It was a humongous ship and for about a month nothing happened and the spaceship just floated in the proximity dimension. Then suddenly one day they jumped directly to the Theorexa dimension, most commonly known as the dimension where humans live… humans have fascinated other living beings around other dimensions, and well thanks to Akash, many of them entered easily through the pathway he made unknowingly, some are harmless but most of them came from parallel divisions so they sure were a threat. After a week of flowing in empty space the spaceship came to a stop. The Commander in chief for the space ship was one of the two sons of God of creation, name Ankur. It was unusual that God of creation had more than one son, even after his pledge to be single virgin forever, well men will be men they say… You can't predict them…
In the ship entered four new faces among the 46 members, so it made them 50 now. One face though stood out from the rest, even though the face had no intention to work with them. There was something in his eyes, those eyes didn't have fear in them, even though he was an immortal like everyone around here, he saw death much closer than everyone here… he had seen those persons he loved get killed, not just killed but dragged somewhere more gruesome than hell, he didn't want any revenge, he just hated everything around him, he trusted no one, he wanted the world to end… maybe that's why did what he did? But something was keeping him from becoming a monster, in between all this darkness there was a dim light still finding it's way and keeping him calm, the days he spent on earth had given him darkness and light in same proportions, maybe that's why?
Lezan was talking about his problem to his fellow devil mates present there… they all had a serious look on their faces.
"Can I say something? … "The guy named Akash opened his mouth.
Dureka looked at Akash anxiously because there was no emotion on his face, devils loved to weaken the other body my sucking their emotions out. But that guy Akash just had an unusual expression which was beyond Dureka's understanding.
"Aren't you angry, I killed your friends?" she asked.
On that he just sighed. "Friends you say? They were just pawns for me to reach you wench…... Me and dad were planning to get you for so many years now, that poor Lezan… dying for no reason at all… you even killed your daughter, and you still think you deserve to live? Pathetic!"
"Whom are you calling pathetic? What have you done? Losing your lover… I mean lovers… You see I can never let you be, rather than alone… remember all those devils I sent in earth whom killed your favourite people among humans? And then the most delicious meal the girl named Shalini, was it?" At that Akash's face tightened a bit.
"There… now no need to toughen up and behave like a calm villain… let us become the villain, that's what all of you beings think of us right? We are villains… " She patted the kraken twice and it's grip tightened on Akash, his body was reacting to the pain but his face held the same expression.
"Damn…. that was some evil speech right there, so you're looking down on me huh?... So if I kill you these things will stop right?" Akash still having the same expression. The grip tightened on him. Blood(power) running out of his mouth. His body was punctured badly but that smile didn't flinch, the kraken soon squeezed everything out of him. The tore his stomach and skull open, the smile slowly faded and just a corpse remained but before he died, he said one thing… "If I still have my right index finger on this Kraken's tentacle after you kill me, you shall die…
Looking at his guts flowing out of his body like earthworms Dureka noticed that his index finger was on the Kraken… She laughed it off and said;
"Looks like you failed boy… don't you worry I will let your body be eaten by my devil comrades… " she jumped off the Kraken and stood beside her husband giving him a look of pity. Then she looked back and saw the Kraken was gone. She wasn't bothered by that, maybe returned to its dimension… she thought and tried to pick the corpse of her dead husband but it was too heavy, it was so dark down here that she couldn't identify anything… dead bodies are heavy anyway, she murmured and went to pick up the body of Akash, for some reason it felt really light… then she remembered how badly she killed him… What a waste, she thought and started walking out.
"THAT'S VERY UNQUEEN OF YOU… MISS… WHAT WAS YOUR NAME AGAIN? OH YEAH... YEAH… DORAA! NO WAIITT…" A loud familiar voice echoes through the cave, Dureka looked up in disbelief. How could he still be alive...? Her mind went blank for a fraction of a second.
"MISSS… DURATION… NO MAANNNN, I GOT IT WRONG AGAIN… HEY DUDE WHAT'S YOUR WIFE'S NAME AGAINNN… "
"IT'S DUREKAA… "Another familiar voice said. She couldn't believe her ears. Then she directed all her focus on the things she was holding… now they were visible. They weren't the bodies of the two she killed just now, but leather bags which felt like human skin while touching, and what made one so heavy? It was a mass a dead fish they found on the way to the cave. She threw them away.
"DON'T BE SO DOWN MA'AM, YOU TRIED YOUR BEST TO KILL US….BUT WELL WE WERE TOO SMART, I DIDN'T GET THE TIME TO FILL MY REPLACEMENT BAG UP FULLY… BECAUSE THAT KRAKEN WAS CRUSHING LIKE A CAN, I HAD TO HURRY….." She looked everywhere to find where the voice was coming from. She couldn't find them anywhere. Then she shifted her focus to another body which should have been there, but it too wasn't there.
"SO YOU REMEMBER YOU KILLED YOUR DAUGHTER AT LEAST… DON'T WORRY WE WILL TAKE CARE OF HER…"
"Where's the Kraken?" she talked at last, she was shell shocked.
"As I said you looked down on me, I took care of it… the bag had explosives in it too… " Akash said with a grin.
"You… you couldn't possibly survive the Kraken, he was too powerful and it killed so many immortals before… and… " She was trembling like big Ben. Akash didn't say anything, just gave the same grinning look and then started swinging his arms back and forth as if to say remember what I said, I said… you took me way too lightly.
"Look around you… look at the walls and see the scatters of blood your little Kraken had splattered, he's dead, and look behind you as well… " She looked around the walls of the cave, the huge chunks of guts and bloody mass was sprayed all over them. It surely was of Kraken… Why didn't she hear anything when it happened? She wondered. She never feared anything before but this boy showed her what fear was, how could these street-smart ideas help him to defeat a Kraken and form this deception? She turned around to see what was behind her. She saw both of them standing there fully unscathed.
"So, what should I do? Make it an easy ending for you? Touching you will make it an easy ending… otherwise do you want my mom to come here?" Akash said looking straight into the eyes of her. She could feel the chills running down her spine. How did it all turn around like this? He was so lowly, crying about his friends, was he really just using his friends to kill her. But she realised it wasn't the case when he touched her, she saw them… all of them attack her simultaneously, it was all clear to her now. As the blades pierced through her body, her human form started to disappear and with that the monster form as well. You had to tear the heart out of the body to kill an immortal, and so he did, Akash. He squeezed the heart into pieces and just veins emitting power remained. Akash looked around him, they were all familiar faces, 48 of them excluding Lezan and him. A girl came running from within the crowd. She leapt at Akash and they both fell down to the ground.
"I MISSED YOU SO MUCHHH… AKU… "She hugged him so tightly that he almost lost his breadth. But he missed her as well, he missed all of them for they haven't seen each other for a week or so.
"OWW... OWW… That Kraken squeezed really hard you know? It broke some ribs of mine, wanna make it worse?" Akash said while patting her head. She gave no mind to that and still clinging onto him, she just loosened her grip a bit, but didn't let go, as if he will vanish if she let him go.
"It isn't game you know? You could have died… " There she goes again, Akash sighed. Can't even celebrate a bit, that we all got out of it unharmed?
"Your plan worked champ!" Devil squeezed me hard, Guts, and God of thunder followed.
"Well, ain't I a genius " he grinned. But he felt excruciating amount of pain from all this hugging around him. But it seemed like they were celebrating too soon as the veins started reforming something again, it wasn't Dureka by any means, it was something huge, so huge that the walls of caves couldn't keep it in… How did they all come back from the dead? How did the other 4 groups join them? What was the plan? Well those things can wait for the moment as they should be thinking of 'how to survive this'?
