Story Arc: Vanguard Academy Arc
No POV:
The devil that escaped the fight with Drex landed in an alleyway near the outskirts of the city; bloodied and tired.
*Punch*
While gritting his teeth, he punched the wall in front of him in frustration leaving a visible dent on it.
" Grr.. How did this happen?!
How did I let such chance slip away from me. I had it.... I had a chance to control that devil but instead it chose to posses that little runt!!
That brat doesn't even have much devil energy so its unlikely he would live long unless he fuses with the devil.. I dont know the odds of that but its highly unlikely."
While gripping at his arm which lacked the parts of his elbow down.
" I have to find that brat and take back that power.
I'll need some help...."
Drex POV:
Everywhere was dark. I could barely see or hear anything at this point.. I was only able to make out the fact that I was in a little room with a light on the ceiling and I wasn't sure if I was hearing a beeping sound at my right. Was I in a hospital? I don't remember how I got here. I tried searching my memories but all I could remember was me at my destroyed house being held down by devils and an explosion not long after... But after that everything was hazy. I couldn't visualize anything but I could hear faint growling and sounds of punches landing then it all went dark... I tried to sit up but when i did i felt an aching pain on my left eye. I slowly put a hand over it and felt the area a bit hard and dried. Maybe I have a wound there....
" you're finally awake".
I turned to where the voice came from and I saw a man standing beside me. Tall, a bit muscular with white hair and teal eyes that could make the hairs on your neck stand.. I had to admit it was very intimidating..
"Uhh...."
" oh my bad I haven't introduced myself.. My name is Vaden nice to meet you hehe"
He said that last part with a cheecky smile but i was still confused as fuck..
Vaden spoke again "hmm do you remember how you got here? Do your wounds still hurt? Are you okay?"
I just sat there in silence as he delivered questions after questions.. I instinctively brought my hand to my forehead and instantly noticed something off; something strange...

My hair....
No i wasn't bald I still had hair but it wasn't in the style i remembered.. I vividly remembered having my hair drape down my face in bangs... I don't get it.. But as soon as I touched my hair i noticed that my hair was a bit curled now, had a more lightened black color and i had a pretty good hairline...
Vaden: uhm is everything alright?
I immediately shot an eye towards him the moment I was able to see my face clearly on the glass wall on the other side of the room.
"NO EVERYTHING IS NOT ALRIGHT!!! My hair's not the same, my eyes are almost colorless and what the fuck is this on my face??!!!"
I said the last part pointing at my scar as it still looked like a fresh wound.. About the eyes; I saw that my eyes now had an ash color to it.. Yeah I may have exaggerated a bit but still... Then the door opened as someone spoke..
Hayley: Will you quit yapping? You should be thankful that you're still alive.
When I saw the girl, my mood dropped. I didn't know why but something about her made me uncomfortable. She had a sassy attitude and i strongly dislike people like that.
"I'm sorry but who are you?"
I asked clearly irritated.
Hayley: Of course an asshole like you is too dumb to understand certain situations. I'm Hayley, captain of squad 7 and the one that brought you here.. Its not a pleasure to meet you
Hmm Hayley Hayley... I feel like I've heard that name somewhere but who gives a shit? I'm more concerned as to why I'm here right now.
"O...k? So why am I here?"
Just then Vaden decided to speak up..
Vaden: As i was saying, my name is Vaden Void. I'm a commander in this organization.
Commander? Is this like a military base? If so, is it normal for a bunch of kids my age to be running around hunting devils like its some normal thing.
Vaden: As you know, you were brought here because of the power you displayed earlier. Due to that we have reason to believe that you are a hybrid human.
You have been given two choices: Either you face execution as a devil or join us as a hunter hybrid... We could use talent like yours.
I just sat there looking in both confusion and shock as I just realized that I was screwed...
