Chapter 6 - Hell's One : Devils' Recruitment (2)

Recap : Cyrus reaches the idea of making a team or organisation to spread carnage and evil, he first enters the neighborhood of Mott Haven to search for his devil, he finds protests, the homeless, the drug addicts, the neighborhood was in ruins.

He stumbles upon an odd looking home which had a corridor didn't end, when the owner of the home realises that Cyrus was a devil just like him, he lets him in the home.

Cyrus meets Hatem Mohammed, they reveal their abilities to each other since they both agreed to the hell equivalent exchange law, Hatem agrees on joining Cyrus in his mission, they march on to Brownsville.

"Hell is empty and all devils are here", William Shakespeare.

"Let's take a cab to Brownsville to find our next devil to join us, Hatem", I recommended, he nodded in agreement and we wait on the sidewalk for a cab to pass by.

We wait about 3 minutes until we find a cab, "can you reach Brownsville?", we asked the taxi driver, he nodded and we enter the car.

I realise that Hatem's horns were popping out all of a sudden, I whisper to him, "dude Hatem, your horns are popping out for some reason", we also realise that the taxi driver might notice them and report us to some sort of authority, "Soul Manipulation, activate!", I said but as I grabbed a pencil to break it in half, Hatem uses his material converter on a piece of wood that was in his pocket and makes a wooden bat and knocks out the taxi driver, "killing him in an explicit way would make us noticeable among other people", Hatem said, Hatem takes out the taxi driver from the car's front seat and Hatem drives instead, his horns then slowly dissappear.

We reach at a traffic light and wait for the light to turn green, when it finally does, we drive forward, "HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING YA BLIND BASTARD!", the man crossing at the green light said, but it's on green isn't it ?

Its not our fault, "hey!, it's on the green light, you can't just fucking cross like that", I said to the man, "the hell are ya talkin' about, its still red mate", the man said.

What the hell ?

The light appeares as green to us but its red for the others, no wonder no one else went forward when it was green, this must be a devil's ability of some sort but I can't just assume things, its possible that someone is tracking us somehow, maybe its from the organisation that was running the "orphanage".

"Let's get out of the car and see who's doing this to us", I said as we both get out of the car and observe all the cars behind us, none of the people in the cars looked suspicious, devils are supposed to be drawn to each other subconsciously but I dont feel any dark matter either.

As we reached the fourth car in the column, I saw something that completely shocked me, it was Bernard, I can't be mistaken, its him !

I realise something though, he couldn't have survived that stab to his abdomen, this is also the same case with the traffic lights, this devil has an ability to make an illusion that only their opponent can see but that ability isn't an offensive one, they must possess more than 2 abilities within them.

I touch the car the had Bernard in it and it just disintegrates into dark matter.

I knew it, it was an illusion, the people behind us in the cars started to yell at us, " Hey move it, slow ass", "move it, you disabled prick", it's all we heard but this proves my point even more, the traffic lights were altered according to our vision and that car that contained Bernard was used to slow us down, this person can manipulate the dark matter's movements and create illusions, impressive !

"Hatem, get in the car and drive forward and stop at a sidewalk, we'll look for this devil",I said to Hatem as he drives the car forward and stops at the left sidewalk of the road.

How will we find this devil?

They could be hiding anywhere in the neighborhood, wait a minute, we can track down the dark matter left by the car that disintegrated, "lets track down the remaining dark matter, that'll lead us to the devil who's using their abilities on us", I said to Hatem.

Dark matter is produced by hate and rage by people who oppose devils like us but devils can recieve dark matter by getting the ability through the hell equivalent exchange law, the natural enemies of devils are dark matter users and we are being tracked by a dark matter user but a dark matter user can't have other abilities, they can only manipulate the dark matter's movements, so could this be a devil with multiple abilities that agreed to the hell equivalent exchange law?

The dark matter leads us to this house that had a gate surrounding it, we open it and then an immense amount of dark matter falls onto us, it was like being crushed by pressure but eventually, the sensation ends.

We enter the house and we slowly open the door, it looked like an animal has been living here for the past 20 years, we see a woman crying in the distance, we slowly get closer, "WAIT, this could be an illusion produced by the devil's ability, Cyrus", Hatem said, we both release our horns and were prepared to use our abilities at any moment.

All of a sudden, the woman turns around and her face was covered in scars and she was crying.

"Help me p-please", we both run to her, "I'm not targeting you both because I want to, my dark matter and illusion abilities are out of control", the woman said, "who are you and why are you covered in scars?", I asked, "I'm a survivor from the Orphanage incident, they took me in and assumed I was dead, I saw them infuse dark matter into the dead bodies, they became soulless students that they will teach to become soldiers in their future plans of world domination, I saw what you did, you saved us, you defeated the black masked man and now I'm a devil too just like you both, please let me join you", she said as she was bowing towards the ground.

"Whats your name and why do you want to join us?" , I asked, "my name's Amelia Gonzalez, I want to join you so I could have my revenge on the organisation that murdered my family, please... accept me", she said.

I walk towards her even more and say, "STAND UP!, a devil of mine shouldn't be bowing, I accept your request, help us with our mission of ending all of humanity", she smiles and stands up.

So Amelia Gonzalez is a devil who accepted the hell equivalent exchange law and has two abilities that we currently know of, creating illusions and dark matter manipulation, "Amelia, help us create hell on earth", I said as I smile menacingly at her.
