Chapter 2: Thrilling Comrades! Balthazar's Return?

Arron ran off to the hills, knowing that there would be a den of demons. "Arron! Wait up!" Drexel shouted, finally catching up to Arron. "I'll kill them all.", Arron said as his axe blade grew bigger and bigger and when they got up to the top of the hill, there was nothing there. "What!?", Arron said. He turned around and faced Drexel with a confused face. "I thought you said there was a place with demons over this hill!". "I did! I thought it would be here...maybe something happened.", Drexel said with uncertainty. Arron got mad and swung the axe up and sliced the ground and next thing you know, a crack came open and the crack grew longer and traced down to the point that a hole formed. "Woah. Hey Drexel, check this out!", Arron said while picking his axe up and running towards the formed hole. Drexel went and looked down in it. "It looks kinda dark and deep.", Drexel noticed, but knowing Arron, he didn't care and shoved Drexel in the hole and jumped in behind him. "Aw damn. It's too dark in here! Arron, you idiot! This is exactly what I was talking about! Luckily I have this.", Drexel calmingly said after yelling at him. Drexel made a flame form over his finger and he expanded the flame for more sight room. "WOAH! You finger is on fire!", Arron jumped up. "That's because this is my power, well not all of it but just something useful for now.", Drexel replied. Arron and Drexel started walking in the rather large cave and saw a light at the end, so he whispered to Arron. "Hey. Be quiet. I think the demons may be in there.", Drexel pointed to the end. "Ohhh....got it, chief.", Arron whispered. They snuck to the end and peeked to see the demons but there were none, except a satanic pentagram written in blood on the ground and candles lit around it. "The hell?", Drexel and Arron both said then jumped down in the room and looked around. "Do you think this is where they create the demons.", Arron asked while looking around. "It seems like it, but don't know for sure. This could easily be a trick area to lead us away from the real spot.", Drexel said, but then thought. "But wait, why would they make a trick area in such a hard to notice place? Under the ground. Ugh, I'll have to think on this....", Drexel then sat down and thought and Arron was fooling with the stuff that was in the corner of the room. "Hey, Drexel, look." Arron said while putting on a crown. "I'm one of the gods!". "Would you stop playing around with the stuff, we are on a serious mission!", Drexel responded with a annoyed face. "YEAH! Would you like to tell me why you are messing with my shit before I kill off both of you?", a sudden voice said behind them. Arron and Drexel slowly looked behind their shoulders and saw a guy with white hair, golden snake eyes,  a black shirt with a purple trenchcoat on with a demonic star on the back, and black pants. Drexel flamed up both his arms with blue and golden flames and Arron pulled out his axe and spun it around into fighting stance with the blade turning bigger. "Who the hell are you? Are you the one who's making these demons?!", Drexel asked loudly. "Depends. Who's askin'?", The guy said. Drexel was about to introduce himself with little informing but Arron interrupted him. "I'm Arron of the Flallen family and I came to kill those who killed my master and family!!". "Arron..you idiot...you're not suppose to tell him about your mission...", Drexel facepalmed. "Oh? Are you? Well sorry to tell you this but you can't avenge your peoples if you're dead, now can you?", The guy smiled. "Wha-" , Arron and Drexel got knocked hard through the walls and into a giant stone room. "Agh..damn it. I wasn't ready.", Arron was getting up but didn't notice the fireballs being shot at him. then he blocked the first one with his axe but got knocked back and the other two fireballs were coming at him. Drexel quickly dashed and turned into a full phoenix. "STAY AWAY FROM ARRON!!", Drexel blazed at the guy and fire kicked him into the wall, then he flew and picked up Arron and broke through the ceiling and ended up outside. Drexel started flying at top speed away from that area. The guy got out from the wall and pushed the rocks and stones away  and his bruises and scratches were instantly healing. "That idiot. I can't be hurt by fire. I'm a freaking demon summoner! But being knocked into a wall kind of hurt though. This is gonna have to be worded to Balthazar and tell them that we have some dumb kids trying to interfere with our plan. Well I'll tell him after I can get him out of that Hell Box. First I gotta go find the Holy Cross Key........" The guy stood up and and hit his head. "That's right! That dude with the axe was a Flallen, he said! So...looks like I got a new mission." Then the guy looked up out the bursted hole in the ceiling and put his hands in his pockets and grinned with his sharp teeth. Meanwhile with Drexel and Arron.... "Woah! You're a fire bird!", Arron pointed at him and started poking. "Stop! I'm a phoenix! Not a fire bird!", Drexel exclaimed. "Pft. Is there a difference?", Arron muttered. "Where are we going anyways?". "Somewhere far away from that dude.", Drexel answered, landing in a sandy area. "How come your fire didn't burn me, by the way?", Arron asked. "Because I choose who it burns.", Drexel said as he his flames went away. "Oh, okay.", Arron said then looked up in the sky and noticed it was night time. "Do you have the time?". "Oh, it's half past I DON'T HAVE A DAMN WATCH.", Drexel yelled. "Ohhhh okay thanks. Come on let's go find another city to chill in.", Arron said, as he started walking down the sand on the beach. Drexel sighed and started walking with Arron. "I wonder what was up with that dude. And damn it, i forgot to ask him his name....", Arron hung his head. "Are you serious?! You're worried about that even though you told him your mission!!?", Drexel said, shocked. "Well, it doesn't matter, right? We probably could defeat him anyways.", Arron smiled and looked ahead. "I dunno, he seemed pretty strong. And if he's responsible for summoning those demons then we're in big trouble. We'll have to rely more than our strength.", Drexel said. Arron and Drexel kept walking until they came by a little town. So they lodged there until the next morning. Drexel woke up and yawned and noticed that Arron was already out of bed. "Huh?!? Where did he go?", Drexel jumped out of bed and got dressed and ran out of the lodging place. He looked around the town and saw him at the shores. Drexel ran down there and caught up to him. "When did you get here? What time did you wake up?", Drexel shouted. "Oh, me? I woke up at 5am. I like to watch the sunrise.", Arron smiled big. "It's about time you woke up, it's almost noon!". Arron tossed him a apple and stared walking off and said "Come on, let's go!".  Drexel smiled. "This guy is not a bad kid."....Drexel caught up to him ad walked with him to continue their adventure.
