Ep 26: Ceremony

Jacob turns around to see Holly standing behind him.

Holly: "I thought I told you just to watch them?"

Jacob: "Shit."

Jacob puts his hood back on then turns around to face Holly.

Holly: "Well? Do you have anything to say for yourself?"

Jacob: "Ahem...you see, I was checking what was...uhh..."

Holly's eyes start to glow red but before she can do so...

A rift opens on the ceiling then Cassandra and Ashlyn come crashing in.

Cassandra: "HEY, WHORE!!"

A barrier suddenly appears around Holly as Cassandra's punch is deflected.

Cassandra: "Damn!"

Ashlyn: "I got this!"

Cassandra: "Ash, wait!"

Ashlyn charges forward to Holly's back as Holly conjures a scythe then SLICES Ashlyn but Ashlyn suddenly disappears.

Holly: "An afterimage?!"

Ashlyn appears behind Holly again, this time with her fist lit with purple flames.

Ashlyn: "Nice try. But I...learned...a...couple..."

Ashlyn watches Holly's face in shock as she gets a flashback of Her laughing with Holly.

Ashlyn is suddenly STABBED in the gut by Holly's scythe.

Holly: "You always were too nice for your own good."

Cassandra: "Why you-"

??: "Chains"

Brown chains are wrapped around Cassandra's body as she is THROWN into the wall.

Cassandra: "The hell?"

3 hooded figures face Cassandra while she's sitting in rubble.

Cassandra: "Oh well, ain't this fucking swell."

Hood: "If you intend to stop our lord's teachings then we will intend to kill you."

Cassandra: "Bring it on you sons of bitches."

Irina and Jizzabelle come crashing in.

Irina: "WHO DARES MAKE A CULT WITHOUT ME BEING THEIR LEADER?!?!?!"

Jizzabelle: "HOLLY! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!"

Holly: "Like you'd understand...kill them, would you?"

The 3 hooded figures surround the other while Jacob witnesses Holly run away.

Cassandra: "JACOB, YOU GO AFTER HER, WE'LL HANDLE THE ARMY.

Jacob: "O-OKAY! IF YA'LL DIE, I'M FINISHING YOU OFF MYSELF!"

Jacob runs to follow Holly into a dark hallway with skulls inserted into the walls.

Cassandra and everyone else are managing to beat each of the hooded figures.

Cassandra: "DON'T KILL THEM, THEY'RE STILL HUMAN REMEMBER THAT!"

Irina: "ARGH, ALL THIS HESITATING HURTS MY ULTIMATE MIND!!"

Jizzabelle lets her zone out to predict everyone's movements as her nose begins to bleed.

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

Jizzabelle: (Damn it, there are so many targets my ability can't predict all of them...but I can't give in...FOR THEM!)

A giant string hand comes in and SLICES Irina all over her body.

Cassandra: "IRINA! WHAT DID-"

Cassandra looks over to One of the hooded figures floating while a puppet with a sandbag for a head is holding him by the head with strings.

Puppet: "ABILITY: MASTERS STRING"

Puppet: "Sorry, but we can't foil with our plans."

Yuji: "They've got their own abilities too-"

The giant spikey ball appears again but right before it hits Yuji, Yuji attaches a piece of paper.

Yuji: "ATTACHMENT: DEFLECT"

The spikey ball suddenly bounces off of a sudden barrier.

Hood 2: "Not bad, looks like I might actually have to try."

Jizzabelle: "What now?!"

The hooded figure suddenly grows in mass as his robe rips only leaving the hood itself to cover his face and head. The hooded figure's body suddenly appears large with muscle and red skin.

Hood 2: "ABILITY: MUSCLEY TENSION"

Hood 2: "Now then, how much more must we need to push you before you end up dead?"

Jizzabelle: (These guys' abilities are stronger than I initially thought)

Irina suddenly SLICES hood 2 as his chest starts to tear open and spit out blood.

Hood 2: "Not bad, little one. but-"

Hood 3 raises her hands as a green flame surrounds Hood 2.

Hood 2's chest wound starts to recover as if nothing happened.

Hood 2: "Try harder will you?"

Hood 2 PUNCHES Irina in the side as the sound of cracking is heard and she barfs out blood then CRASHES into a wall.

Cassandra: "IRINA!"

Cassandra lights her forearm on fire as she attempts to punch Hood 2 but Hood 2 grabs her by the hood and breaks her arm, causing Cassandra to scream in pain.

Hood 1: "Honestly, were we really scared of this joke of a group? you're meant to bring back humanity?! WHAT A JOKE!"

Cassandra drops to the floor.

Yuji throws a piece of paper on the ground.

Yuji: "ATTACHMENT: SMOKE"

Smoke disperses out of the piece of paper causing all 3 hooded figures to lose sight.

Yuji: "We have to hide Cassandra...COME ON!"

Cassandra: "NO! Like my dojo always taught me, anyone who runs away in the middle of a fight they've started-"

Hood 1 and Hood 2 walk out of the smoke.

Cassandra: "You're nothing more than a pussy on legs."

Hood 2: "Well spoken!"

Hood 2 PUNCHES Cassandra in the face but nothing happens.

Hood 2: "Huh? that's weird...I could have sworn I hit you...wait that's not it..."

Hood 2 looks at his right hand to see it gone.

Hood 2: "Where the fuck did my hand go?"

Hood 2 looks to the right to see Ashlyn covered in strange purple markings, her nails now becoming long like claws, and her eyes gone completely pitch black with her purple pupils.

Ashlyn slowly turns around to reveal the right side of her forehead has a purple and sharp horn coming out of it.

Hood 2: "What the fuck is that?"

Cassandra: "That's my little sister...well, at least she feels like that..."

Yuji: "Ashlyn?"

Jacob finally catches up to Holly.

Jacob: "Slam"

Holly suddenly CRASHES into the ground but-

Holly: "Cancel"

Holly suddenly stands up.

Jacob: "HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT ABILITY?! THAT'S A BENTO FAMILY ONLY ABILITY!"

Holly: "Let's just say that book of yours has quite the features."

Jacob: "Book?!"

Jacob gets a flashback of his dad giving him an old book with a katana marking on it.

Jacob: "HOW DO YOU HAVE THAT BOOK?! THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO SHOULD HAVE IT SOMEONE OF THE BENTO FAMILY!!

Holly: "It was a gift...from god."

Jacob: "God? The fuck kinda bullshit are you spitting now?"

Holly: "Don't you understand? Everything that's happened to this point...the synvasion, it's gods way of saying that we need punishing for the sins that we've conjured onto this world that we've destroyed. The same world that he's worked so hard for..."

Jacob: "Oh yeah? So what does killing all these innocent people gonna prove? That you're just as bad as everyone else?"

Holly: "How are you so sure that those supposed innocent people are as innocent as they say they are? I guarantee you, Jacob, this world has no goodness left in it."

Jacob: "So why are you doing all of this? WHAT DOES THIS PROVE TO YOUR GOD?! HOW ARE YOU EVEN SO SURE THAT THESE PEOPLE YOU'VE KILLED DIDN'T HAVE A LIFE OF GOOD BEFORE THE SYNVASION?!"

Holly: "We plan to eradicate the last of the human race so that we can accept the omen as our new rulers, the omen are what god sent as his punishment to us mortals, which is why we must accept and repent."

*FLASHBACK*

Holly is lying on a sidewalk when a giant creature gives her the book.

Holly: "W-what is this?"

Monster: "Please...help us..."

*REAL-TIME*

Holly: "It is time for the next time of god's new world. A world without humans and one where omen shall rule supreme."

Jacob runs to Holly.

Jacob: "DON'T YOU DARE THINK THAT YOU'RE ANY BETTER THAN-"

Holly: "Die"

Jacob's head EXPLODES as blood splatters all over the hallway.

Holly: "Haha...I win, the next age...shall begin...the next age..."

Holly: "Of a new god."

"Rejoice in the pits of purgatory, Jacob."

Ep 26-End.
