Chereads / The Legacy of Man / Chapter 11 - Eve of destruction

Chapter 11 - Eve of destruction

Sam: luna?

Luna was fair with glossy skin, pink lips, short black hair and gentle looking eyes.

Luna: Do I know you? It doesn't matter, all that is truly of any importance is that I get what I came here for, or rather who I came here for so stay out of my way. Okay?"

Sam: Cozbi,I thought you said there was only one of these demons here, if that's the case then how come she's also entangled."

Cozbi: in all honesty I thought likewise but you need not worry since they are still not completely healed from the events of the war hence are not as powerful as before. Well not yet but that is a fact that can change as quick as the wind so let me handle this one."

Daniel: Be careful and try to lure her away from the school to prevent any unnecessary damage or loss of life."

Cozbi: understood."

Luna: why do you speak of me as a monster, I hold no ill will concerning any of you. I'm just a girl In love and i put it to you, is trying to win him back a sin? When I came into contact with this demon it showed me all the people he's ever been intimate with, I could see for myself the truth, that I was just one of many he used for his thrill. I should be jealous, angry and out for blood but anger is overwhelming, wrath is cruel and that is something I could never be to someone who made me feel as secure, as beautiful, as wanted and as loved as he made me feel when we texted all throughout the many nights. Though we were countries apart it felt as though we were right by each other, in the worlds we created and the roles we played I could see without a doubt the prophesy of our future. I became his goddess of the moon, he shall be my god and we shall endure forever."

Sam says with a sigh

Sam:I know love can be complicated and full of pain but this isn't the way to go, it isn't healthy."

Cozbi: she won't listen."

The demon speaks to Luna warning her of Cozbi.

Demon: That one is truly dangerous, if you want your goal to be realised we need to end him as quickly as possible. It will be impossible for you to achieve this unless you give me full control."

Luna: I give you complete control."

As soon as these words left her mouth Cozbi thrust his glimmering sword into her chest. She fell to the ground with the sword still planted in her chest.

Neo: No!!"

Sam: I told you not to kill anyone, that's not who we are."

Neo: Luna, Luna, oh my goodness..., wait, the angel. Give it to me we can still heal her."

At this exact moment the seven of them felt all their senses screaming at them to look up into the sky and when they did they were appalled.

Sebastian: you got to be freaking kidding me."

Casimir: oh no."

Daniel: How is she pulling down the moon? Is that even possible?"

Apparently it was, the moon was making it's way down toward the earth at an alarming speed. Cozbi quickly tried to finish her off before things could get any more problematic but luna was quicker, blasting him a good distance away. She pulls out the sword and throws it away.

Demon luna: you didn't think it was going to be that easy, did you? The words goddess of the moon was not said just for decoration, as long as the moon is out I will only grow more and more powerful."

Sam passes the angel to his friends who get all their injuries healed along with a boost in energy and vitality, to Cozbi he tosses the teleportation crystal he'd given them earlier for their mission. The next thing they saw were blurry lights clashing but it disappeared very quickly.

Sam: okay, everyone head to the library. It's far from here and should offer you protection from this threat and any other that may show itself. Dani, please go with them to add an additional layer of protection just in case."

Kevin: But what about the fast approaching moon?"

Sam's eyes flash red for a split second unnoticed by anyone.

Sam: leave that to us, we can handle it now go."

Dean: boys as the dean of this school it Is my responsibility to ensure your safety, I'll stay."

Daniel: that's very respectable of you dean but we have our powers and special training to see us through this, so you need not worry."

Dean: that changes nothing."

Neo: please, I cannot handle it if one of you were to die because of my mistakes."

Sebastian: I'll go with Daniel just in case we encounter a situation like this one."

Casimir: I'll come too."

They depart to the library as fast as they possibly can. When they were a good distance away Jake drew sam and Neo's mind to an alarming realization.

Jake:I didn't want to scare the rest of the people but we may be in serious danger. I'm thankful that no one realised it probably due to the unbelievable events occurring else the mass panic would not be helpful. "

Sam: what is it?"

Jake: The gravitational pull of the moon on the earth influences a lot of things including the tides as well as the weather, if it gets close enough the oceans would bury our island. That is the best case scenario, in the worst case scenario the earth goes out of orbit and Is plunged into an ice age or the volcanoes bury us in heaps of hot ash, either way we could be looking at human extinction."

Sam: this is why we dont play with peoples feelings. It'd be a lie if I said I won't enjoy it but I told you so."

Jake: Very funny."

Sam: I'm not trying to be funny, I've told you time and time again to stop messing around with all these different girls but no, because of your selfish desires you lead them on not caring if they are left devastated at the end of your little games. Do you feel like a man now!"

Neo: I didn't mean for this to happen."

Sam: what then did you want to happen, to be given a letter of commendation."

Neo:I'm sorry I dont have a perfect life like you. Most of the time I sit in the darkness hoping, praying that my purpose reveal itself just to prove I'm not a silly little mistake in the universe. You go around parading your love but some of us don't even know what love is or even how to love. I got lost in the feeling of being wanted, of being needed and desired, of being the center of someone's world instead of regretting my existence every second of every day, can you blame me for that? I don't expect you to understand, I brought this problem upon us so I'll be the one to fix it."

He amplifies his voice as much as possible and screams out Luna's name, within a few second Lucifer's body crashed to the ground in front of them with luna following closely. She forms a huge ball of silvery light in her hands ready to end him for good but Neo hops infront of her which drives her to stop.

Neo: I'm sorry i Iied and cheated you.Truly, from the deepest trenches of my heart I beg for your forgiveness, but even now, knowing all these things if you could forgive me then I know for fact that you are the one for me. I won't ever stop trying to make it up to you because seeing all the things you're willing to go through for me I realise I'm in love with you. When the temptations subside and my thoughts are clear all I see is you, my goddess of the moon."

Kamira: is that all I ever was to you, a temptation?"

A voice sounds, seeming as though it came from everywhere. A brilliant flash of light blinded all parties,once it dimmed down a beautiful brown skin girl in a normal shirt and jeans was revealed. Her eyes and hair were jet black and her round face and lovely curves added to her beauty.

Neo: Kamira what are you....how are you here?"

Kamira: is that really the most important thing? Aren't you gonna introduce to me your little lover?"

Neo: uh, Luna....she's..."

Luna: one of your past mistakes, that's all she'll ever be. You heard what he said, I'm the one he truly loves so bug off."

Luna creates a huge ball of light, ready to destroy the other girl but neo stops her.

Neo: please you need to stop."

Luna: No! stay out of this, its between me and her."

She shoots the lunar energy beam but when it was only a few feet away from Kamira a giant wall sprang up from the ground and blocked the powerful beam leaving only a giant scorch mark. This by all means enraged luna who created several spheres, arranging them In a circular formation, then they shot out seven beams which converged into a singular lunar light beam. Kamira grits her teeth,steadied herself with a breath and blocks the beam with hands but it proves too powerful, knocking her into a building a good distance away.

Luna: I win."

There was silence for a short while but a familiar voice spoke, her voice once again coming from everywhere.

Kamira: think we've won now, do we?"

Luna: where are you?"

Kamira: right here!"

A hand impaled luna from behind still holding onto her still beating heart.

Neo: No."

The hand pulled back and crushed the pumping organ.

Kamira: looks like her love wasn't strong enough, poor thing. Unlike that fool I'm here to teach you a lesson, one your parents clearly failed at; to not play with a woman's emotions or there just might be really bad consequences. speaking of which"

She snaps her fingers summoning a black hole which she tosses cozbi into. The angel is torn into shreds as he enters the black hole, screaming as his life comes to a horrendously painful end. Before he can process the loss the ground beneath his feet disappears, his whole environment turns black as the day when we regret our very birth and a silent nothingness croons aloud inside and out of his mind.

Jake: come on we got to figure out a way out of here."

Neo: but how? We..."

Sam: something is wrong."

Sam falls to the ground instantly and an unidentifiable thing drags him away, jake follows suit screaming out," help me!"

Kamira: having a good time love? Let's see if you're as good an actor as you are a fabricator of delectable paragraphs."

A giant oval mirror appears in the darkness, though it stood before Neo it bore no reflection of him. Kamira's voice echoed all around as he gazed into the reflectionless mirror trying to understand what was happening and perhaps find a way out.

Kamira: know why there isn't a reflection? I'll tell you, its because you are nothing, infact less than nothing. What you said is indeed the unbridled truth, you are a mistake, a glitch in the grand software yet not important enough to be noticed or stopped."

Neo: you're lying to me. This isn't real, it can't be."

Kamira: aren't you cute? This is real unlike you. I'll prove to you that you are a mistake."

A man and woman appear not too far from him and he miraculously sees them even despite the dense darkness. He runs to them and touches their shoulder hoping to get help from them but when they turn around he sees that it's his parents.

Mrs. Shikimori: oh my dear boy I never wanted you to ever find out or to ever feel like you were not loved. We never wanted to have a child, you were a mistake that came through despite us using protection, I'm sorry. But when I saw you for the first time i instantly fell in love with you. Your little laugh, your gentle touch, your strong heart which felt like music to my ears, even though you weren't planned you were a gift, okay."

She places her hand on his shoulder but he closes his eyes and shakes his head continuously as tears stream down his face.

Neo: no, no, no. This is isn't true. Your using some sort of sick mind manipulation to confuse me. My mother would never say that, never. It's not real, it's not real."

The darkness starts lifting and a familiar scene starts to come through.

Kamira: don't kid yourself, you know what I'm saying is true. Don't lie to yourself, your parents never wanted you, your so called friends hate you now because of your mistakes, one of the girls you played is dead and another has succumb to a demon. It's all your fault."

The darkness returns as thick as it was before and the mirror from before stands before him yet again. This time it had the image of Neo, except as a horrifying monster. he had huge claws, vines snaking down his hands and horrifying fangs dripping fresh blood.

Kamira: look up here." A hand raised his head to the mirror and he sees the image of himself.

Kamira: this is what you've always been a monster, a cold unfeeling monster."

The voice starts laughing, then it gets louder and louder, it keeps on repeating reverberating throughout the darkness.

Neo: Enough!" He lets out a loud sonic scream louder than anything he'd ever done before and falls to the ground unconscious.

Meanwhile Sebastian, Daniel and Casimir had almost gotten all the people into the dome surrounding the library when a cloud started spreading across the sky atop the library. From the cloud came a girl, fair, tall beautiful and looking quite ordinary despite her special and eye catching entrance.

Daniel: Hurry up people, we might have trouble on our hands."

Sebastian: we need a little bit of time to get these people inside the dome, Casimir distract her for a while until everyone is inside. "

Casimir: me? Why do I have to do it?"

Sebastian: because you're the only one among us that can fly."

Casimir: right."

Casimir takes off, very slowly and meets her up in the air, in the middle of both their distances.

Casimir:( in his head - what am I gonna say, what am I gonna say? Ugh, why did it have to be me? Why did I have to be able to fly and it's a girl too. It doesn't matter calm down,just go straight to the point, think professional police officer.)

Casimir: who are you and what do you want?"

( I think that was okay, yeah totally professional. )

Erica: my name is Erica and as for why I'm here it's only to help by spreading love and warmth to everyone..."

Casimir:( how long to I have to keep this up, are those people have snail syndrome or what. Come on people move it, it think I'm sweating. Oh my goodness I stopped paying attention to what she was saying. Ahhh, come on man focus.)

Casimir: I'm gonna stop you right there, since when are demons emissaries of love and compassion or do you take me for a fool."

Erica: not at all. I understand that these demons were bad news but now they only follow the emotions of the host and amplify it therefore if the hosts are angry their rage will only increase. I on the other hand bear no negative emotion or I'll will to any one, trust me..."

Casimir: ( oh cool the people are almost there, yes. They're all inside now this conversation can end, I feel so weird about it. Wait, did I have a dollar in my other pocket, focus, focus, what was I doing...)

Seeing as he was distracted Erica shot a stream of white mist like gas toward him but a force field blocked it.

Erica: you really should have let me go easy on you, but I always prefer it rough anyway."

White gas starts spreading from her body, covering her completely in seconds. Casimir zooms down to rejoin his friends, Sebastian's body drops to the floor as his soul leaves his body and Daniel creates a force field around them. Erica transforms into a 200 feet monster made out of mist and attacks but Daniel's shield holds though it Is pushed a little into the ground ever time the misty hands smash against the shield. After a minute of failure she chose a different attempt. She shoots streams of mist all around them till the whole dome is engulfed in a thick mist which was still spreading.

Erica: you're going to have to come out sooner or later and quite sooner than you think. That air isn't gonna last forever so breathe slowly now."

Sebastian was still trying to possess her but was at a loss.

Sebastian: How is this possible its like her soul is stretched out into the air particles, how am I supposed to, well trying doesn't kill."

Casimir: I've got an idea. I'm going to push us forward."

Daniel: sure. What about the dense mist, can you see where exactly you're going?"

Casimir: you got any other bright ideas? Yeah, that's what I thought now pray it works or we are toast."

He places his palms on th walls of the shield and flasps his wings. For a while it wasn't working but he persisted still he failed.

Casimir: come on one more time. GIVE ME POWER!" His eyes turn black as he pushes hard and the ball like shield moves up in to the shy but a hand grabs it. He pushes on but the hand holds firm, eventually caves when he uses more power, sending them flying off in a projectile motion.
