#1 The Aftermath Of The Apocalypse

Chapter 27: The Holy Appearance

We all fell to the ground in agony, and since we were all part demon, we were affected by anything holy related, especially an angel.

"Hello Pazuzu, how long has it been?" Azora said. Instead of John speaking, we all heard Pazuzu's voice. It was a deep and calm voice, almost making you think its an angel. "It's been centuries since we last fought. Are you still weaker than me, or are you still the weak angel from before?" Pazuzu said.

"Oh I'm stronger than before, and since you're here, how about we have a little rematch?" Azora said. "Fine by me." Pazuzu said.

John stood up knowing he has no control over his own body anymore. We were all still down, but it wasn't as painful from before. "John! What are you doing?" I said. "John is sleeping right now." Pazuzu said. "I took control over his body by putting him to sleep. So now I can use his body as a vessel until I'm finished with her."

"Stop talking! This fight is only you and me Pazuzu!" Azora said. "Join in, if, I'm struggling, got it kid." Pazuzu said whispering. As they were getting ready to fight, a nurse started telling us to take it outside. Pazuzu immediately ignores her and kills her with no hesitation.

"Let's begin." Pazuzu said. Azora rushed towards him at full speed and knocks him back across the hall. Pazuzu then grabbed Azora and kicked her through the floor and into the bottom floor. "I thought angels could defeat demons at ease, I guess that's all a lie!" Pazuzu said, mocking the angels.

Azora jumped back up and flew through the ceiling and on to the roof while holding Pazuzu by his neck. Azora then throws him back down, causing the roof to almost collapse on the rest of us.

"Come on, pull out your weapon and at least try to kill me. Now you're just throwing me around!" Pazuzu said. "Alright then, have it your way." Azora said.

Azora summons her weapons and they are 2 Sickles with markings of the cross, and the handle is wrapped with a golden string.

"Ooooh, looks like someone switched their weapon. Mine is better!" Pazuzu said. He summons a large scythe with his markings all over it. When Pazuzu summoned them, the scythe glowed bright red.

They both rushed towards each other lifting their weapons. Pazuzu swung his scythe and it sliced in Azora's shoulder, causing her to lose momentum. Azora swings but misses and Pazuzu just throws her to the side of the hospital building.

"I win!" Pazuzu said. "Not yet!" Azora said as she swung her Sickle. Luckily, Pazuzu grabs the Sickle and knocks out Azora. "God! Stop sending angels! They can't kill us!" Pazuzu said, screaming to the sky.

"Ok, I'm tired." Pazuzu said. John was able to have control again but passed out on the ground. We all rushed towards him to make sure he's okay. Max checked if John had any bruises or wounds but found nothing, all he found was John being exhausted.

"I'll carry him meanwhile you guys help Chris's family out of here." Max said.

I grabbed my mother and Jade while Luke carried my father and my brother was with Tom. "What about the people in the hospital?" Sam asked. "That's not our problem to handle." Sean said.

As we headed back to my parent's house, my mother didn't seemed to be in any danger to herself. Maybe it could've been the presence of an angel that caused her to be like that because we saw Azora in her physical form. I was confused.

"We're here!" I said. I drop off my mother along with Jade while Luke struggled with my father and Tom dropped off my brother.

"Why didn't you tell us you had this.. whatever you have?" My mother asked. "Well ever since I moved out, I've been experiencing some demonic presence along with Luke and my friends, so we went to the underworld and got these awesome abilities." I said. "I think it looks cool for my little brother." My brother said.

"Also, how in the fuck was Pazuzu able to take control of your body John?" I said. "I got no idea, as soon as Azora threw me down the hall of the hospital, I think Pazuzu recognized who threw me." John said.

"How come it didn't attack Krystal?" Max said. "That's true, why didn't it?" Tom added.

"We can figure this out another day, right now, I'm going to say goodbye and then go back home with Luke and Jade." I said. I went back to pick up Jade and say goodbye to my family. "Take care son, and use these abilities for something good." My father said. "I will."

We all head back to our homes, relaxed that we were able to kill our demons, or so I thought. As Luke, Jade, and I enter my house, I felt a presence unknown to me. At first I didn't make much of it, until the presence revealed itself.

"Uhm, how did you get in my house?" I asked. "Are you a half demon aswell?" The person said. "Don't ignore the question, how did you get in here?" I said. "Through the back door." "You son of a bi-!" I said but Luke intervened.

"What do you mean by half demons?" Luke asked. "It's a person that has half its soul turned into a demon, there's about 600 people that are half demons, and I'm one of them." The person said.

"600 WHAT!? How are there so many?" I said. "Mhmm, all of us are hidden between the crowds, causing mischief, but you two, including seven others, are using these abilities for good." The person said. "What do you want us to do, hunt down the half demons while surving an angel trying to kill us?" I said sarcastically.

"Why yes, I don't know any angels trying to hunt you nine but yes, you all have to find and bring the half demons back to the underworld by death." The person said. "Excuse me, what?" Luke said. "I'm kidding, I know you were sarcastic. I'm here to warn you about the dangers they can cause."

"So what do you want us to do about it?" I asked. "Don't engage with them, they will and can kill you." The person said. "Also, the reason why there's many of us, is because there's a ritual we all partake to become ruler of the underworld. We basically have to kill Satan himself."

Luke and I had our mouths wide open in shock meanwhile Jade had no clue what was going on. "This means, I can rule the underworld and... be powerful." I said full with pride. "Hey, chill out, your ego is coming out." Luke said. "My bad."

"The ritual starts in August 28, 2026 at 11PM, at the Grand Canyons and by the way, the names Peter." Peter said. Peter disappears and Luke and I look at each other. "That's only... one week away." Luke said. "We can't tell the others or they won't let us participate, but we can warn them about the other 600 half demons in the surface world." I said. "Got it." Luke said. "You too Jade, you can't tell them, promise?" I asked. "I promise." Jade said.
