Chapter 9: The Chosen Few PT2

(Opening Theme: Meta Runners S2 OP-Only Up Performed By Lizz Robinet)

-Years Ago; One Week Later-

Those that had been chosen, had been given only one week to prepare for the trail, needless to say, Jaxon could tell a lot had been riding on this for most demons. Some of them were scared shitless, and already he heard some of the Demons whisper on what the trail could be.

With the rest of the Overlords gathering everyone seemed to grow more nervous.

And tomorrow had finally been the day.

Those that were picked in the trail all had to sleep together in one room, with bunk beds, and Jaxon---

---Unfortunately had gotten the one with Xavion.

And he talked---A lot.

"---So then the man walks into a bar and approaches these two guys and says, "Hey! I'm looking for the bastard that fought my two sons!" And then the guys tell him, "You mean the guy who had L on his forehead? He came in here looking for milk!" and then he says, "The fuck was he looking for? A cow?!""

"... And you're telling me this story---" Jaxon said as he had a pillow on his face, "---Why?"

Xavion replied as he hung upside down from his bunk bed, "Meh, I like small talk here and then when I'm not fighting people and pitbulls."

Jaxon soon noticed the tattoos on his arm as he removed the pillow. It looked to be that of a dragon.

"... Interesting tattoo." Jaxon said.

"Oh don't mind those, I even had these before I was sent here." Xavion told him, "You got tats from when you were alive?"

"... I wasn't allowed to since I was an assassin." He said.

"Aww, that's too bad." Xavion said, "You should think about getting one. I know a great tattoo parlor in the upper part of the City! If by some miracle we make it through this, I'll show ya!"

"What about you?" Rai soon asked as her and her brother's bunk bed had been next to their own, "You and your brother could almost pass as a human."

"Oh that's the long story---" Xavion replied, "---Short version of it, my family took part in a cult. Our mom was a human while our dad was a full fledged Hellborn who ended up getting summoned--as we realized at the time. Ritual went wrong. We ended up here and my Little brother basically killed him."

"No wonder he has a knack for killing demonkind.." Ikari said.

Jaxon's eyes softened, "Sorry to hear that..."

"Don't be. It's cool. We hated our dad for manipulating our mom." Xavion said, "Sides, being down here ain't too bad. Looking at the city, I could almost swear it's like Los Angeles."

Xavion soon turned to Rai and Ikari, "How about you two? You being from the Edo Period of Japan makes me jealous."

Rai and Ikari turned their heads as they both recalled.

"... My brother and I---Were born with the blood from a foreigner... Back then, they called us Demons even before we came into this realm." Rai replied, "... We lost our family to that same man, who only wanted control over our lands. We pursued him to the ends of the Earth, not caring who had stood in our way."

"We were honing our skills for the day we met him face to face." Ikari added, "In that time---I had lost my wife, and my son, because of that man, and my sister--He took her fiance."

Jaxon looked to them solemnly as he sat up, "... They didn't end up here, did they?"

"No---" Rai replied, "---They're most likely in Heaven with our mother... That's the one thing Ikari and I are thankful for."
