Cold Blood and Icy Hearts: Tale of Caine Conven (Discontinued)

Volume 2 Chapter 8: The Demon Generals Might! Does She Have What It Takes?

MEANWHILE, IN ZANE'S HEAD

Zane: "Ugh...my head...where am I?"

???: "You're in here with me...and there is no chance to escape me this time."

Zane: "Who the hell-"

Zane turned around quickly but was shocked to find the Demon General standing there. Tall and ready for battle, wearing the armor and the suit that made Zane Conven a feared name all throughout Hell. Zane stepped back as The Demon General stood there and quickly created a strong broadsword. He swung it at Zane, who had very little time to react as he barely managed to dodge the attack and roll out of the way.

Zane: "What are-"

Demon General: "What am I doing here? I'll tell you what I'm doing here...I'm here to show you that you need me."

Zane: "I'd rather NOT lose control of my body to a lunatic who thinks he's better than everybody else! I don't want someone who literally attacked everyone I love!"

Demon General: "...fine then. If you won't listen to reason...!"

The demon general quickly swung the sword again, this time slashing Zane, but just barely, cutting him along his face. This made Zane angry, and in return Zane would rush towards him. Zane punched him in the face before swinging his foot at the man to kick him in the legs. The demon general grit his teeth before swinging his hand at Zane, and knocking him away from himself. Zane was sent flying away, but managed to stop himself. While the two of them were away from each other, they growled as both of their eyes shifted into a deep jet black color. The both of them would rush towards the other before summoning icy boxing gloves.

Zane decided to go high, and attack from above. However, it didn't look like his plan would work for some reason. The moment Zane jumped into the air, his hands were met by Demon General's own fists. It wouldn't take long for Demon General to decide what he was going to do to punish Zane. He threw him down onto the ground with enough force to make him bounce back up. As soon as he did, Demon General sent a kick directly into his stomach. Zane ended up spitting up blood which did not go unnoticed by the Demon General.

Zane: "How-...how did you know..."

Demon General: "How did I know you were going to go high? How have I known what you were thinking? Zane, look around you! Do you know where we are? We're in your head! The only reason I can be face to face with you and still be able to fight against you."

Zane: "We...we're not in Kabara?"

Demon General: "Nope. We haven't been there at all. But, we could be."

He said before the pure white space that they had been fighting in soon turned to the snowy white interior of Kabara Palace. Demon General slowly walked around before rushing towards Zane and kicking him in the face, sending him flying into the throne.

Demon General: "Face it, Z! You need me!"

Zane: "You...can fuck off!"

He yelled before running towards the assailant and kicking the chestplate of the armor. This left a dent in the armor, causing the demon general to take the armor off.

Demon General, taking the armor off: "Zane...there's going to come a time where you will not be able to defend those you love...where those you love will not be able to defend you. You WILL need me...have you ever wondered the reason I act out? Why I attack those who are close to you? Close to us?!"

The moment the armor came off, the Demon General slowly walked toward Zane as he stood tall and started getting more and more angry.

Demon General: "It's your fault! Your fault that Brooke was almost killed when she tried to fight you! Your fault that Noelle turned into a demon! It's your fault that Satan wanted us dead before I killed him! The reason I kill them...why I hurt them...is because I am tired of not being able to go out there and live my life! Did you forget that I am you?! I see everything that you see, Zane! And it isn't fun knowing how good your life is while I'm stuck in here."
