A Second Chance

From The Beginning

Shinra opened his eyes and found himself at the same train station from five years ago that would start his journey. Then his eyes widened at what he remembered is about to happen.

"Oh crap," Shinra said as he put his bag down "the infernal attack." As soon as he finished that sentence, a train came that had smoke coming out of its windows. Instantly, Shinra activated his ignition ability. When the train came to a stop an infernal came out. It looked around the station before its sight landed on Shinra.

"Hello." Shinra greeted it and stepped towards it. Over time, one of the powers that he received was the ability to speak to infernals. The infernal stood still and tilted its head to the left.

"Would you like for the pain to stop?" Shinra asked. That was when he heard a ding behind. Both he and the infernal looked towards the source of it and saw the door open to reveal four people. Two male, two female.

"Hinawa, help me slow it down, Maki, stop any attacks and try to extinguish its flames, Iris, please start the prayer."

"Obi look, civilian." The other man, Hinawa pointed at Shinra. The infernal roared at them and began to charge at them. Hinawa and Obi both started firing at it with special fire extinguisher bullets. The infernal then released fire attacks towards them both, Maki then used her powers to extinguish the fire. The infernal then realized that he would get nowhere with those attacks so it decided to run towards Iris and stop her prayer. Quicker than the other members of the Force could react, it was right in front of her.

The infernal reared its right hand, preparing to end Iris's life in one stroke. All the other members began to run towards her but the infernal's hand was already moving towards its target.

"Iris!" Obi shouted out to her. Iris's eyes widened and filled with fear. Before the infernal could hit its mark Shinra stood in between both. He was able to catch the hand though the impact was hard enough that a sent a small wave of wind outwards.

"Everyone stop," Shinra said as he pushed the infernal back. "As for you," he points at the infernal "I need you to calm down. Don't attack them." The infernal stood and for a moment everyone thought it would attack again. What they didn't expect was for the infernal to bow its head and get down on both knees. Then the sister of the fire force resumed her prayer and everyone else prepared to strike.

As soon Iris began the prayer, the infernal began to screech and thrash around. It grabbed its head as if it were in pain.

"Sister, stop." Shinra said. Iris looked up at him confused. After a second, she decided to listen. Shinra then walked over to the hunched-over infernal and made to grab its hands.

"Don't, you'll get burned." Maki warned. Shinra though ignored it and grabbed its hands and brought them down.

"Don't worry the pain will be over soon. I will start a special prayer that will really stop the pain." Shinra whispered to the infernal. The infernal looked up at him in what appeared to be understanding in its eyes. Shinra then stood and placed his hand on the infernal head.

"The infernal that stands before me. The one who burns and is burdened in constant pain. I shall relieve you of your burden. May your soul return to the Sun God. May the body burn and turn to ashes and return to our earth.
Sit Aeterna Flamma Numquam Marcescet (May The Eternal Flame Never Fade Away)"

As Shinra spoke, the infernal's flames were dimming and becoming replaced by Shinra's black flames. Its posture also seemed to be relaxing. Towards the last line of the prayer, the infernal was completely shrouded in black flames and becoming ashes. By the last word, it was completely gone and reduced to ashes. The ashes were different. Instead of being black, it was a golden color.
