Other Earth

The Event

The Red Man, who once appeared as a giant, rose up from his fiercy land after hearing a voice in his head telling him of a technological artifact that would wield the minds of people from any planet on any universe. The Red Man, named Rylon, had the intent to travel from the universe they were currently in to grab this artifact known as the Zeel. He looked upon the four humans in front of him and ordered his demons to finish them.
Jack, John, Kelli, and Christopher watched the demons surround them with murder in their eyes.
"Run!" Ordered Jack as he began to prepare his suit for combat.
"I'll stay with you!" John replied. Jack turned to him, knowing that John wouldn't be able to keep up with the combat that was about to begin.
"No," Jack knew what would happen during this fight. "You won't last a minute. This thing, it's not like the others. It's too powerful."
Jack turned back to look upon Rylon, who just floated in front of them with a straight cold face expression.
"Now," Jack repeated himself. "Run!"
Kelli grabbed John by his arm. "He's right." Kelli said. "They're too much for you."
John wasn't ready to let Jack go, but he knew this was the right choice. "You survive this," John ordered. "Okay?"
Jack gave him a side glance and smiled. "You got it," Jack lied. "Old man."
John understood this and took off with Christopher and the others.
"My servants," Rylon pointed at the three running humans. "Don't let them escape!"
The demons began chasing down the three, but they were soon all blasted to bits by Jack's blasters. He turned to Rylon. "No!" Jack filled himself with confidence. "No one is killing my friends!"
"Then," Rylon glared at Jack. "You'll be the first to go!"
Rylon ordered the demons to kill Jack. Jack flew into the sky and began blasting the demons below him. Rylon noticed that he was doing a very good job at killing the demons, so he flew straight at Jack. Jack had been too busy killing the demons to notice Rylon coming at him. By the time he noticed, Rylon had already grabbed his arms and began crushing the suit. Jack yelled as his arms were now being crushed.
"You dare kill my servants in front of me?" Rylon broke Jack's arms completely. Jack was unable to get free from Rylon. Rylon grew bored of Jack's inability to fight back and threw his head into Jack's forehead so hard that it killed him on impact. Rylon now held a dead Jack in his hands.
"My servants," Rylon looked down at the hungry demons. "Lunch."
Jack's corpse was dropped down with the demons as they devoured his body piece by piece. Rylon smiled at the sight of it and turned to see where the other three might have run off to.

Rylon was ready to leave this planet and head to the other universe where he could have hold of the Zeel and find these other minds across every universe. But before he could leave, he needs his demons to be stronger than what they were. He ordered them to search the entire planet and find any humans they could get and feed upon them. He wanted the demons to get stronger and this was the way it was going to happen.

John, Kelli, and Christopher had eventually stopped running and rested in a nearby city. John fell to the ground, feeling exhausted from all the running. Christopher and Kelli weren't as tired as John but still needed to catch their breath.
"What... the hell... was that?" Christopher asked.
"It looked like the devil." Kelli said.
"It was," John said. "Your books tell you that the devil exists. That thing you just saw was living proof of it. This whole planet has fallen to his mercy and the only thing we do now is hide."
"What?" Christopher asked. "Are you serious? What about your suited friend?"
John realized that Jack would have caught up to them if he had survived. "No," John didn't even want to say the words. "He won't be coming to meet up with us. Not now. Not ever. It's up to us and whoever else is alive."
"But," Kelli said. "How do we know that there are still survivors?"
"I don't know," John said. "But we've got to try."

"I'm so glad you decided to come to your senses," A voice from the darkness spoke. The three turned to see who was speaking. The young Benicio Mendoza appeared in front of them. Only, he wasn't possessed any long. "Now, let's have a talk."
"Who are you?" John asked.
"I'm someone that once served Rylon." Ben said.
Everyone seemed confused when Ben said the name Rylon. He realized no one knew who he was talking about. "The devil."
Suddenly they all understood. Ben found this embarrassing but moved on quickly. "If we're to stop Rylon was devouring any more humans and doing this to multiple universes, we'll need to make an army."
"Awesome," Christopher cheered. "But how do we do that?"
"It's simple." Ben said. "We're going to go on a little quest."
"No," Christopher stopped him. "I mean, how do we stop the devil?"
"I learned a few things while serving under him," Ben replied. "I was lucky enough to find my way back to my body and gain control once more. The knowledge stayed with me and now I'm going to use it to help this planet regain his life and any other universe that he's going to target. But we have to have an army."
"Alright then," John became confident in Ben's plan. "I'm in!"
The group all agreed to move forward with the plan to save the world, now they just needed to find people skilled enough to fight...
