The Duality of Man and Monster: A Revue Starlight Fanfiction

Unexpected Outcome

It was never a good thing to be called out in the night to fight demons. Everyone knew that. And here they were, unfortunately having to do exactly that.

A group of demons had been spotted in the woods. Siegfeld had been contacted and asked to handle the issue as they were closest. That was how the five edels found themselves hunting demons in the darkness of the night.

"Alright. Try to stay in your groups." Michiru said.

Everyone nodded. They went off. Michiru and Akira were one group while Yachiyo, Mei Fan, and Shiori were the other. Each group started searching for any demons around.

"I sense some there." Mei Fan stated.

"Let's take a closer look."

The three girls snuck up toward where they could all feel the demonic energy. There were two demons there.

"Let's get them."

They charged out and started fighting the demons. It was going well, but then a third and a fourth one joined. Now they were outnumbered. That was not a good thing. You never wanted to be outnumbered by demons.

"I'll take two!" Yachiyo called.

She was going to handle the worst of it. It was easier for her because she is a demon too. Of course, neither of those two knew so and hopefully never would.

Shiori was struggling with the demon she fought. They were pushing her away from the others. No matter how hard she tried, she could not gain any ground from them. This was bad. This was really bad.

"Hyah!" Shiori swung at the demon with her knife, hoping to distract them enough to run back to the others.

"Pathetic." The demon caught her hand and pulled the knife out of her grip with ease.

Shiori gulped and backed away. She was not armed for close combat now. All she had was the gun on her. She had to gain ground. That was impossible from the look of it. She was already out of breath.

"Hmm... I think I might try something new." The demon smirked at her.

They lunged and slashed her throat. Shiori let out a scream. It was very muffled by the fact her vocal cords were ripped apart. She collapsed to the ground.

The demon stood over her and started saying something. A ball of darkness came out of their hand and went into Shiori. The demon waited a minute, and then left. They looked disappointed.

"S-Shiori-chan..."

Tamao was here. She had felt the demons' presences and went to investigate herself. She stumbled upon the scene of Shiori.

Tamao frowned and knelt down beside her. Just as she was about to pick her up, something happened. Shiori started breathing. Her wound closed. And... her form was changing.

Tamao gasped as Shiori sprouted wings and horns. It had worked. The demon had actually turned her into one. This was exciting, but also worrying. This had never happened before. All other attempts had failed. Tamao had no idea what to do.

She picked up Shiori and did the only thing she could think of: go to Hell.

Tamao had not been to Hell in ages. But, it was her best chance to find someone to help. And, thankfully, she found exactly who she was looking for.

"Ah! Misora!"

"Hmm? Tamao? Uh... who is that?"

Tamao looked down at Shiori. She... had changed more. Her hair was black. Her skin was pale. She did not look like Shiori at all.
