Artificial

Chapter 29: The Final Act Part 3

(Seth's POV)

I take my index and middle finger off my fore head,
I look down below to see all the Exorcist surrounding the factory.
Now that they heard my familiar from the broken window yelling,
they all begin to move towards the entrance like I planned,
this is a kill for a kill and a eye for a eye. If Brandon thinks he can out wit me he has another thing coming,
I do feel sorry for the Exorcist as they are doing what they believe is right but this is war,
their deaths will be remembered as heros who died for humanity,
I can not think of a more honorable death. I look over my shoulders to see Chase, Sora and Terra putting their hand on my shoulder and a bittersweet smile.
I give them a bittersweet smile back then put my fingers back to my forehead,
thirty minutes came as quickly as it left, fortunately my familiar managed to help everyone get fire runes all over the place. The Exorcist were about to storm the place when the factory explodes,
my familiar, Raina, Kaze, Souza, Flecia, Crystal, Kogo and Sillva all riding horse familiars that they created and yelling as loud as their lunges would let them, the Exorcist aim their guns and tank canons. "SILLVA, KOGO! NOW!"
My familiar yells as they create a blinding light from their light runes causing the Exorcist to inaccurately shoot.
Kenneth's platoon zips up the side of a building and they all prepare to bring down the Exorcist.
Chase, Sora and Terra uses a lightning rune to move fast enough to be in position. "COMMANDER SETH!"
Kaze yells, sense my familiar is linked to my consciousness I saw what he sees and it was knocked off it's horse by a storm of bullets. "CHAAAAAAARGE! THE PATH TO SUCCESS IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU! DO NOT FALTER!"
My familiar yells back. Kenneth's platoon is now falling towards the Exorcist and energy now stored enough to release their attack. "SUPIRICHUARU RIRISU!"
The platoon yells as they fire off their X shaped beam from their katanas, my siblings follow up with a fire blast and strokes of lightning,
the Exorcist never saw it coming.
I zip over the building Brandon was halled up in and land at the entrance.
I take one last look at the carnage that was the battlefield,
death, death everywhere,
it was a pain in the ass to make realistic familiars of Kaze, Souza, Raina, Flecia, Crystal, Kogo and Sillva but in the end we blew up the factory and the real ones escaped leaving my familiars to die in their place.
Kenneth and platoon start doing high fives hand hugging like there isn't a world ending threat lingering in this building, and finally I take one last look at my siblings, I hardly know them and yet they were there for me every step of the way. The sky gets cloudly really fast and shortly a storm begins popping around the building, the bodies of the dead begin to glow as this silver transparent looking mist floats on up the building and into the eye of the storm. "This is it, the battle for humanity." I take a deep breath and enter the automatic doors.

(Brandon's POV)

The time has finally come for me to ascend to demon lord status,
soon Satan himself will have his souls and I will be rid of the final obstacles in my way. Once I have this power,
I'll end Seth and his siblings, then I can finally make the Artificial race extinct and make sure Exorcist never have the means to fight back ever again.
I'll kill them all and when I'm done, I will spend the rest of my days resting in peace. I sit down on a chair in the chapel on the highest floor of the building,
and watch as a portal to Hell begins to open and all the souls get sucked in.
While I couldn't see Satan himself, I could feel his power,
his presence and yet all I saw were glowing yellow eyes looking down at me from Hell. All is as it should be as I close my eyes and begin to ponder the past,
I close my eyes and remember fondly of my wife,
I was in my early twenties fresh out of college,
I would visit the local cafe a lot.

We started off as friends and had a date here and there and as I persued my human career in life I eventually popped the question of marriage.
Naturally she said yes and for five years I hid the fact that I was a demon,
that was until we moved into my hometown,
everyone there is a Artificial Demon and everyone knew everyone so when I brought my wife,
a human none the less,
they were surpised.
My wife took it very all things considered though she did ask me to prove I was so I broke a brick wall then quickly fixed it with my aura.

Once we settled down the Demon Council came and found me unfortunately, Exorcist were starting to become a threat at this time,
apparently laying low and gathering members from all over the world.
The Demon Council wanted me to be their assassin and I told them as long as they paid me I would do anything they asked, well they agreed and everything else is fuzzy. I remember doing assassinations from time to time and everytime I saw my wife we had alone time together and shortly she became pregnant,
we were going to have a baby girl. Or at least we would have if it weren't for those damn Exorcist,
I remember returning home and finding my hometown set ablaze by holy blue flames. I lost everyone,
that night and got my revenge too,
when the deed was done I sat there in the middle of the burning city with their wretched swords in my back and chest. The next sixty to seventy years I looked into the murder of my wife,
child and friends and found out the Demon Council disapproved of my relationship with a human and decided to kill her personally then sent a anonymous tip to the Exorcist branch in the area because all my friends wouldn't obey the Council. Once I found this out I swore I'd dedicate the rest of my life to bury all Exorcist and Artificial Demons.

I open my eyes and move over to the front pew of the chapel.
"Very good Brandon Yeets. As promised for offering up ten thousand human and demon souls,
I will now bestow apon you the Demon Lord status."
I smile as Satan prepares the process to turn me into a Demon Lord.
"Or at least I would love to."
Satan finishes after a pause making my eyes go big.
"I shall give you half the power now and the other half when the boy is dead."
Of course Satan would find a way to double cross me on the deal I made.
My body gets lifted from the pew as this orange red aura wrapped around me and temporarily caused me to enter my new Demon Lord Form,
it looked new and felt great but I could still feel the other half of the power not there, my body descends back onto the pew and I take a deep breath to calm my already agitated nerves, that was when the chapel doors opend.
My final battle is apon me, alas the curtains will come to a close and a new era will begin, come Seth Thompson, let us finish this once and for all!
