The Great Demon System

*Drip* *Drop* *Drip* *Drop* *Drip* *Drop*

In a deep dark cave, nothing in sight other than glowing purple flowers that only provided a dim light, the sound of droplets of water falling from the ceiling onto the damp, cold hard ground forming various puddles.

Suddenly, from the entrance of the cave, a small, glowing purple object was seen flying in deep at incredible speed, landing and stabbing into the ground in the form of a dagger.

Not even a second later, where the dagger once stood, a bright, purple light emerged seemingly out of nowhere, engulfing a large area.

Yet, as soon as that light appeared, it was immediately snuffed out… Now, in its place were 4 bodies, dropping on the ground with a large crash, splashing in one of the puddles.

"Huh!? W-where are we! Moby! Are you there! What's going on! How did we get here! Answer me please!"

The sound of Jayden's wild, terrified screaming echoed in the cave that was illuminated by her dark vision.

"Big brother! Big brother! W-what happened! Where are you!?"

The scream was followed by the mumble and cry of a small girl, Hikari in complete panic as all she was able to see was pitch black darkness before she infused light into her eyes-lids, allowing her to once again see.

"Calm down you two! Isn't it obvious? Our leader teleported us away so he could face the monster all by himself…"

Nags responded, not minding his now wet clothes, trying a rather calm and collected approach, yet, no matter how calm he tried to seem, the shakiness in his voice was still clear from the shock and fear of what he just witnessed.

"W-what!? B-but he'll die! Let's go! We need to go help him!"

"Hikari! Calm down! Have faith! You too bimbo idiot! For once I'll have to agree with Nags... He went out of his way to allow us to escape and you want to go back!? There's a reason for that! All we would be to him is a hindrance that would be taken hostage! There isn't much that even I could do against that monstrosity, even a scratch would be beyond my wildest dreams so what the hell do you think that a bunch of kids like you could do? We will just have to put our trust in him to be able to kill that fucking monster…"

Hikari was now gone, her hair and clothes now pitch black, her face looking rather odd as it was all red with hints of tears running down which completely contrasted with the seriousness of her expression.

"F-fuck! My brain isn't working right! What am I supposed to do then!? Wait here in this shit hole until my boyfriend dies like Alex!?"

"A-Alex…"

"Where's Alex!?"

Moby was the first thing on Jayden's mind, filling her entire brain. Yet, now the realization of Alex's death hit her once more, the reality of things setting in more and more as tears ran down her face once more and her hand tightly grasped her heart looking frantically around her.

"It's okay Alex… We're safe now… No one can hurt us anymore… No one can hurt us anymore... Now we can live together forever… You are now all I have… All I have… All I have…"

Suddenly, the sound of mumbles entered her ears, mumbles that had always been there ever since they arrived but that she had only just picked up on.

When she turned around to see where the voice was coming from, only to see Abby in a state unlike she ever saw her before, shaking immensely, bags under her eyes, her hair extremely messy as she continuously petted the charred face of Alex's burnt body, rubbing her hands on him over and over again…

"Abby!? Are you back!? Did you snap back to your senses! Is Alex still alive!? Speak to me!"

Slowly, Abby looked up at Jayden with tear-filled eyes and a blank look on her face that shook her down to her very core.

"Oh! Jayden… It's you… Don't worry! Alex is still alive! He promised to always be with me! Alex is no liar!"

When Jayden checked Abby's words, using her energy sense on Alex's body… It was confirmed to her that he was completely dead, breaking her heart even more, considering that the person he saved was unrecognizable, broken beyond belief…

"What about Moby!? He still cares for you! We all do! If he and us didn't then we wouldn't have risked everything to get you and he wouldn't have went as far as to teleport you away to safety with us!"

"Oh… I don't deserve him… I am a traitor… I threw everything away… I deserve no forgiveness… Maybe he even teleported me away just so he could punish me later… I deserve no one… All I bring is death and despair…"

*Slap*

"You idiot! Don't talk like that after everything we sacrificed to save you! Stop being selfish and fucking think! We all still care about you! We get that you were mind-controlled! It's okay! It's not your fault!"

Jayden roared, a waterfall of tears running down her face as she tried to snap Abby back to her senses, only for her to see something that she did not at all expect.

Abby looked away from her, looking back at Alex's corpse, rubbing her hands on him once again as she spoke.

"It's okay Jayden… Hit me more… Hit me more… I more than deserved it…I am trash, unworthy to be with anyone since all I do is hurt… I have nothing more to live for other than my Alex…"

Jayden was absolutely speechless, unsure of what to do as she just stared blankly at Abby once again.

"OH! My family is still alive! Maybe I can still kill them! Hey Alex! Do you want to help me out?"

…

"Yes? Oh wow! You're absolutely amazing! … Absolutely amazing…"

'A-Abby… Come back to us…' Jayden thought as she watched Abby seemingly only get worse and worse.

"Abby! Do you have the teleporter!? We need it to get out! If we can get out of here we can leave to get reinforcement! Since you are no longer in mind-control that should be easy right!?"

Nags interrupted their conversation, trying to do whatever he could do. Not because he was fond of Moby and wanted to save him, but because he wanted the shalker dead…

"Oh… Hey little boy! You want the teleporter!? Take it! I don't need it… All I need is Alex…"

Suddenly, out of a void emerged a teleport pad, the same teleport pad that they had arrived on, making everyone's eyes grow wide.

"Come on Alex… You've been asleep for too long… Open your eyes… Please open your eyes…"

Abby continued her senseless, meaningless ramblings, Nags immediately getting on the teleporter, trying to use it as fast as he could.

"It's not working!? What's the meaning of this!?"

"Oh! Little boy! Don't be silly! It's because you don't know the password…"

"Then what's the password!? If we want to save our leader we need to get back home!"

"Oh! I don't know… Evil slut bitch shalker didn't tell me what the password was…"

Abby responded in an oddly amused, shaky voice before she immediately went back to comforting Alex…

"I am pure scum… Pure scum… At least you will always be here for me Alex… Now open your eyes so we can go back home and massacre my family… Wake up my love… If you ignore me more I'm going to be mad at you…"

"Fuck! What are we supposed to do now!?"

Nags cursed, all hope now seemingly lost.

When, suddenly, Jayden's eyes grew wide, and out of her inventory emerged small, tiny robots, marching out.

"Ray!? Can you hear me!?"

Jayden yelled, only to receive no response… The extremely tiny robots seeming completely clueless about where they went.

Jayden inwardly cursed, it seemed like Ray could not communicate with them, which should have been rather obvious considering that their watches didn't work to contact earth either.

He was probably simply giving them blind commands knowing they were active.

Yet, Jayden did not give up hope, putting all her trust in Ray and his robots, lifting them up and placing them onto the teleport pad.

And, unlike what they all expected, as if the robots sensed the teleporter, their arms fused into it, now standing still like they were hacking into its mainframe.

'Wow! Let's hope this works…'

They all thought collectively looking at the incredible sight ahead, putting all their faith into what they assumed to be Ray and his army of tiny robots.

Yet, despite this hint of hope, Jayden could not help but shake off the odd feeling in her stomach and emptiness in her heart as she took a glance at Abby to her side, only to be surprised once again, her tear-filled eyes growing extremely wide.

"Wake up Alex… You can't leave me like this… don't be a jerk and open your eyes… I don't want to be hurt anymore… But I deserve all the pain in the world… Please… just wake up…"

Around Alex's body was an odd purple glow, a familiar sight that she had seen many times before…

That glow surrounded his entire body, suddenly turning red out of nowhere…

Not long after, Alex's body began to twitch, shift and turn in many ways… The burnt skin and tissue on his body started to regenerate and shake like crazy. The previous baldness on his head was suddenly no more as black hair began to grow out of the roots in fast motion unlike his previous purple.

His facial features were now once again seen, his nose, eyes, and mouth now exactly where they were supposed to, looking familiar yet not similar at the same time.

He slowly lifted his hands up in the air, the body that was previously dead now moved, his fingernails reaching towards the ceiling of the cave that was dropping water on his eyes, making him open his deep, red, crimson, almost hypnotizing eyes.

Everyone, including Abby, could not help but stare in shock and awe at Alex's body as it lifted its head up from Abby's laps, standing up straight, looking around the cave, his gaze deadly and cold before his gaze landed once again at the crying Abby that bore a bright smile on her face, sitting on the ground.

"Greeting… You must be my new master… Allow me to introduce myself… I am vampire lord Alucard… And I am now at your service… My Lord and Master, I am prepared to do anything in your name ...Simply give me your orders and it shall be done as you command…"
