Ash
This is only the start little kit.
That phrase for some reason didn't bother me.I don't know why it just didn't.Everything about this should bother me any normal person would be freaking out.I can see the gore clearly.The blood that is seeping from and part of their mangled bodies.Their crushed bones splintered and poking out from every twisted piece of flesh.All of this should make me sick to my stomach but instead all that I could think is, They were threating my family. Does this make me a monster?
As if hear my thoughts Darkness laughs."No little kit it doesn't make you a monster.You know that this is to protect your family and you've always known that you would die for them.Thus for someone like you this is nothing.Even if you were to become the most hated person on earth you would just to protect those you care for.That's who I am.The part of you that has the potential to become a monster for those you hold dear."
After that he takes my finger and holds it over the flesh then I feel him pull on foxfire.A small flame appears at the end but instead of the normal green flame, its black.He lets the fire fall on the mangled bodies and we watch as it spreads and devours the bodies.In minutes, the bodies and a good portion of the ground have been devoured and he waves my hand and the fire just goes out.
"All of the elements have a different flame so dont be surprised little kit.Mine is to devour everything leaving nothing behind.The smallest flame can devour a house in an hour.Now lets get to our destination we have some people that must not be kept waiting."
"Wait!"
"Hmmmm?"
"You need to free the girls.They will die if we leave them like that."
"Honestly I don't really care their constant attempts at controlling you infuriates all of us.While we may have them to thank for our abilities doesn't mean we need to cater to their whims.However I know that despite everything you actually care for them.So ill free them but I want you to promise that you will not allow them to completely control you anymore.You are not a toy.I wish you would do the same with your mother as well but that fear is deeply rooted in you."
"I promise however you know my weakness.Also a man who doesn't fear and respect his mother isn't a true man."
He just sighs clearly annoyed and makes a motion with his hand then Alita and Inari appear in front of us.
"Ok element you need to give Ash back his body now!"
Sorry Hag Fox but I'm not done teaching Little Kit tonight and don't worry he will get his body back.
"Stop calling me HAG!"
"You and the little chicken are both tens of thousands of years old.So what better word to call you than hag?"
"You son of bitch how fucking dare you keep calling me an Angel of the lord a CHICKEN!"
Her bitch comment pisses me of a little but Darkness also seems a bit upset as black foxfire surrounds us.
"Careful there Hags you know how much we love our mother."Darkness says in an icy tone.Inari pulls Alita back with a horrified look.
"Impossible you can already use the devouring flame!?"
He smiles."Enough talk lets go."He then takes off not even bothering them a second glance.We head towards downtown but veer off and head toward the old factories by the railroad.As we approach we see two guards in front armed with automatic weapons.Darkness just casually engulfs their heads in shadows and crushes them.He then removes the shadows and their headless corpses fall to the ground.I ask why he didn't cover their whole bodies he then points to the security lights on the warehouse.
"The light limits our power."
As we finally approach I see where we are it an old paper factory from the eighties the reason I know this is because the name is South Bend Paper Co.The city was renamed in 85 after Mega saved it from a nuke.
Darkness is staring intently at the building and then all of a sudden we can see inside."Shit forgot I could do that."
"You forgot one of your own abilities!?"
"Hey I sit on my ass and play video games most of the time ok."
"You have an identic memory."
"I also can split my mind.So I sorta prioritize certain info over others.Then store everything else away."
"And your powers aren't important!?"
"Eh."
He just laughs. "I love you little kit.We going to have so much fun together.There seems to be 37 people 30 armed with weapons and the last 7 seem to be priest and nuns.Also there seems to be quite a bit light and they converted the building into a church."
"I see how the light would be a problem but how is the church a problem?"
"Faith magic is stronger inside places of worship.You really need to pay attention to the chicken and fox hags."
"Didn't you say you wanted them gone?"
"You don't and that's all that matters.If you are going to keep them might as well learn what you can."
point.
Now lets go give the priest our answer to his "job request".
He smiles and walks into the factory.
The place actually looks pretty damn amazing inside.They have pews made from what looks to be marble, the walls are pristine, the floors spotless, and the altar is even better than any I've ever seen.Its made from gold and silver with all the tradition trimmings you would see at any church like Jesus on the cross and whatnot.Although why couldn't they put clothes on him?
As we walk down the aisle several guards train their weapons on us.Father Jacobs turns to us and smiles.While Bastard just frowns.The rest of the priests and nuns look at use with mild curiosity.
"Ah young Ash welcome.I see you've decided to take me up on our offer.I got to admit I like you outfit it certainly fits the name the news gave you.Now as for what you'll be doing its simple.You're going to be our slave.To do with as we see fit.If we tell you to jump you will do so, if we tell you to bark you will do so.If we tell you to kill well you get it right?"He said this with a smug smile on his face.
"Oh?I think you have made a mistake here Short Man Johnson.Im not here to be your slave."
"You dont have a choice!If you keep being an insufferable little shit im going to have to show you that im not to be messed with!"
He pulls out his phone and makes a call.However he cant seem to connect to the other side.Darkness has a knowing smile.
"Problems?"
Father Jacobs looks at me."What did you do!?"
"Oh you mean to those two you left at my house to try and threaten my family?Thats simple I killed them.Just like im going to do to all of you."
He then produces two black daggers and inserts them into the heads of the closets guards.And throws another towards Bastard.
Bastard was fast enough to dodge then Father Jacobs decides to get over his shock.
"Kill HIM!!"
All the guards point their weapons at me and fire.Darkness rolls back and waves his hand in a familiar motion.Instead of the familiar feeling of steal we got hit with what felt like a semi plowing into us and smashed through a couple of pews.
"Hahahaha.Foolish child did you think your little trick would work twice?We've warded everyone here against your pathetic power."
Darkness still had a smile on his face and joy in his eyes."So you all want to suffer to death?Good.Good."
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
I couldn't understand what he had planned.Sensing my confusion he just reminds me.
"Remember little kit that was only the start."
After that we were fired upon but darkness just calmly walked toward a group of guards letting the bullets hit us.But strangely enough they did no damage.As he reached the first guard he grabbed him by the neck and I could see why.We were covered in black flames.
Then the guard started screaming.It was horrifying the most disturbing thing Id ever heard.And apparently the other guards as well.They threw their weapons to the ground and scattered.
"Oh no we can't have that."He still had a smile.
Darkness dropped the guard black flames slowly engulfing him while he screamed.Then took off at top speed with show daggers coated in black fire in hand and started to slaughter the guards.He made good on his threat to make them suffer.
He could have simply killed them like the first two but he didn't.Some he sliced off their limbs others he just simply stabbed.Those that resisted made him even happier as hed rip their limbs off and let them suffer as they bled to death.In a matter of seconds all 30 of the guards were dead or dying screaming for mercy that wasn't going to come.
The priests and nuns just stood there shock and horror on their faces as they watched Darkness slaughter all the guards.Darkness turned to them covered in blood and gore and walked toward them with a smile a look of joy in his eyes.
I caught a glimpse of Inari and Alita they too had horrified looks.It hurt to see them look at me like I was some kind of monster.
"How could you just do that."One of the nun spoke up.
Easily.Then he lashed out with a dagger but was blocked by some barrier.
"Hmm nice trick but dont think it will protect you for long."He then started to slash repeatedly at the barrier.
"Everyone combine your strength I need a few moments to complete my spell."
"I dont think we should let him do that."
"I agree little kit but how do you propose we get through this barrier?It even stops the devouring flame."
"Ask the girls."
"I refuse."
"Why!?"
"Because where's the fun in that?"
"Screw fun I want to live!"
"I doubt he could have anything that could truly thre-I may have spoke to soon."
We were too late the priest finished the spell.In his hands was a weird looking spear it was red and it spiraled all the up until it forked into two blades.It pulsed with power.
"Impossible..."Alitas says.
"Chic-Angel explain!"
"That's the Lance of Longinus.It's been lost for centuries."
"That wouldn't happen to be the spear that Jesus was stabbed with would it?"
She just nodded."That's not all it power is truly immense.You need to get out of here now.The only way you have a chance against that thing is with your holy power but with you controlling Ash's body you don't have access to it.But even if you had access you'd at best last two minutes."
"Ok Darkness new plan.RUN!!!"I yell.
He silently agreed and took off for the door.
"Where do you think you are going!"The priest screams then teleports in front of us.
Oh fuck.
Oh fuck.
Oh fuck.
Oh fuck.We all say at once.
"Did Alita just say fuck!?"
"Not now little kit!"
"In this place my power is absolute!Did you think I'd let you get away!?With the lance I am on par with the angels themselves!In a place of worship my power is magnified even more!Im going to end you but not right away first I'll cripple you then Im going to get your family and slaughter them like pigs and let you bathe in their blood.And when you beg for mercy only then will I kill you!"He screams maniacally.
Then he swung the lance at us.Darkness dodged back but the blade let loose a shock wave that sent us flying into a wall.
Darkness stands and gets ready to counterattack but next thing we know were pinned to the wall.Pain flares through us blood spits out our mouth and we look down.The lance is buried into our stomach and it exits through our spine.
"Little..Kit....I think we're fucked."
I just agree.With our spine severed we were paralyzed we couldn't move an inch not to mention the hole in our stomach.
The priest approaches us with a sneer on his face."You thought that you could win?You are nothing boy!I brought down an angel and a demon.Did you think some teenage super could really stop me!?Now im going to collect your family."With that he yanks the lance out and I fall to the floor.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Inari
"Nooooooooooo!!!Alita hurry and heal him!Hes dying!"
"I cant this element was able to completely block me from his holy power!"She says with tears running down her face.
"There must be something we can do!We cant just let him die!"
"You dont understand.Even if I had my full power I wouldn't be able to save him!Wounds from that weapon cant be healed with Angelic powers alone!If you had your full power as well as I then maybe with your light element wed have a chance."
I looked at her in defeat.Tears streaming down my face.Is this truly how it ends?I turn to look back at Ash.If it wasn't for him we'd be dead or worse.And now when he needs us we can't do a damn thing!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ash
"I may need a little help here."I hear him call out.Then I hear a voice Ive never heard before.
"I can see that.Kit open up your holy powers completely.Do not ask questions."
I do as the voice asks as it seems to be someone I dont want to piss off.Then I feel all my power disappear and then it gets really really cold.
"Who is that?"I ask.
"The main reason I wont take your body."
"Wait what!?"
"When this is over have the hag fox explain elements to you.For now know we aren't going to die."
"Ive healed the wound Darkness end this now.When you are done we need to have a talk."I felt him shiver.
"Are you scared of that voice?"
"You should be too little kit.That's your primary element and she is far stronger than me and lightning put together.Also the most dangerous."
"Wait she!?"
"That's what surprises you?Elements can't be women?"
"I uh.....Lets finish this."
Darkness didn't take any chance he dashed forward at top speed.Then lopped off the priests head.The priest had a look of surprise on his face.The fucker got off too easy.But that didn't mean the others would.Picking up the lance the power it once had didnt flow through us.It was just a normal lance.maybe you need to be faithful?Didnt matter Darkness threw the lance and pinned Bastard to the wall.Then smile still on his face walked toward the rest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was bad none of them got off easy like Father Jacob.i wanted him to end the nuns fast but he would have none of it.He ripped them apart.
The first He pried open the jaw and dropped a drop of black fire down his throat.Letting him burn from the inside out.The next one he ripped the arms off of and slammed them through his stomach.After that one he brought out normal fox fire and let it slowly consume him.
For the nuns they all died in mangled heaps as one died by shadows like the first two tonight.The other was sliced apart.By the time he moved on to Bastard he was cry and smelled like piss.
Then he yanked out the lance and crushed his head between my fingers.If I could I would've thrown up.Instead I cried.Even if I wanted them dead I didnt want this.The whole time he want this.The whole time he had a smile.The whole time.
