Story Arc: Vangaurd Academy Arc
Drex POV:
Everyone in the school assembled outside the school and the commotion was evident. I saw two dudes at the front of the school one of them gave off a ninja vibe while the other one looked more like those characters in call of duty.. I wasn't really sure what this was about but I was sure it had something to do with a devil attack..
The gun dude came forward and started to speak..
Jax: Uhm OK everyone we apologize for the interruption. You may have already known me as one of the devil hunters in this city as part of the Vanguard Organization. We are here to inform you that a devil is on the loose and is within this vicinity. We want to advice you all to evacuate this area so as to minimze civilian casualties but bear in mind that your safety is not guaranteed.
With that he went away with his ninja pal as i saw two more people approaching them.
No POV:
The evacuation was still going on as Drex passed them by, he over heard their conversation with a girl around his age who seemed to be the leader of the group. Of course she was wearing a helmet but it was still possible to tell by her voice and her physique.
The female asked "So how did it go?"
Vax spoke up "No luck. There were no survivors. And every house around there was cleared."
"What direction was it"
" There."
As he pointed to the direction, Drex noticed that was the direction to his house... Wait..... His eyes widened as he remebered that his aunt and uncle would be back early that day.. Without hesitation, he bolted towards that direction.
"We have to go.. We must stop that devil from causing more damage.."
"Roger!!"
Meanwhile as Drex rushed home, he saw alot of human corpses and destroyed buildings. He closed his eyes and silently prayed that they would not be back at that time. Upon reaching his home his legs slid to a stop as he saw his house.. Or rather, what was left of it...
The house was in shambles every room destroyed and obliterated. It seemed that the devil was looking for something because he could see a very clear piece of land in front of him.
"Yes!! This is it. We found the place"
Upon hearing a voice Drex hid behind a pile of rubble as he listened to the devil. The devil in question was in front of a wall holding what seemed to be a severed human hand and drawing what looked like a devil's pentagram on it. Was he trying to open a portal? He wasn't sure. Just as Drex was about to adjust himself his hand fell on a spot on the rubble he his behind. He looked at his hand and saw it was blood and at this point, his face went pale as he looked up and saw what was above him; his aunt and uncle's dead bodies pinned on the wall with blood pooling from their bodies. He quickly notice that his aunt had a missing arm and soon everything all came together: His family had been murdered...
This was too much to bear and Drex just stood there with a dark expression on his face. All he could think of was revenge.. Revenge.. REVENGE!!!!!
He roared as he picked a nearby stick and rushed for the devil. Seeing this made the devil shocked as even though he dodged each attack effortlessly. This singular act intrigued the pale-bodied devil as he didnt expect a mere human to rush at him like that. The devil jumped back giving space for his devils to dispose of the boy...
Meanwhile Drex; in a fit of rage kept charging at the devils one by one. At this point Drex noticed how well he was fairing against the multitude. Well it was kind of expected as he has had multiple encounters with with less powerful devil so he took the initiative to use each chance and train himself. He was cutting down the devils until they proved the strength in their numbers and charged at the boy overwhelming him. He was still trying to break free when a devil delivered a devastating punch to his gut causing Drex to cough up some blood and mellow down. Still trying to catch his breath, the pale-bodied devil spoke up..
"I won't kill you yet. I want you to witness how powerless you humans are against us devils."
The devil took Drex by the chin and spoke
"Now watch closely..."
With that he made is way to the wall with the pentagram, slit his wrist and started to recite an incantation in an ancient language. The ground started to shake and blood started to pool out of the wall as it started to glow bright red and started to form some kind of portal. Drex looked up and saw an entity peering out of the wall. The entity took the form of a red skeleton with glowing yellow dots as eyes in the eye sockets. Drex could clearly make out a scar at the left side of its face and in reailsation that his end was near, Drex dropped his head in pain as there was nothing he could do anymore..
At that moment he heard footsteps running towards his direction and noticed that it was the people he met earlier.
"Hey!!!"
The devil she referred to looked over its shoulder at the female and gave a smile.
"You're too late the portal has already been opened and the devil is about to come out...."
Just then the female hunter was brought to a halt as she was just barely in front of the portal. With a rumble, the entity reached out of the portal; skeletal hands with sharpened claws wedged themselves at the edge of each sides of the wall (portal).
That was the harsh reality if it all.. If that devil exits that portal l, it would be the end.
At that moment, Drex was staring face to face into the yellow eyes of this devil. Suddenly the eyes had a brief glow up until.....
.
.
.
.
.
BOOM!!
With that everywhere went up in smoke as the portal exploded and flying debris hit everywhere. Everyone present were sent flying backwards; Drex on the other hand was being hit with debris wounding him. Then out of nowhere, a piece of stone that was sent flying hit him in the face causing him to bleed. After that the whole place went smoke went red and everywhere went quiet.
Just then...
Grrrrr.....
Both the devils and devil hunters looked on in shock as another devil emerged from the rubble. His his gently raised up in the air, his body bright red with two blades protruding from both arms. The devil slowly looked towards them and they were shocked to see his eyes; pitch black sclera with bright yellow pupils and a still bleeding scar on the left side of his face. He opened his mouth filled with sharpened teeth and a mist escaped from it when he exhaled.
Everyone present were shocked and confused and the only thought on their minds were:
'Could it be....?'
