Zero Chronicles

Chapter Twenty One

Somewhere in the Organization HQ.Hunter,Jessica and several male Agents were in a large room that had several monitor screens in it.The monitors show videos of different cities around the world.Some monitors were reports about strange things happening in the current city while some are about the sudden rise of people that have been found dead.Hunter cross his arms before giving a sigh.

Hunter:Jess.What's the current status?

Jessica had a tablet in her hands.She reads a few files on it.

Jessica:As of now,the death count is 646.The latest was just this morning.
Hunter:This all started two days ago but we still don't know what's causing these deaths.Agents all over the world are trying to find the cause of this.
Jessica:It has to be some sort of creature.The reports from other Agents has one thing similar.The bodies of the people that were killed seemed have been caused by something sharp.Like claws or teeth.
Hunter:Anything else?
Jessica:There is one report from an Agent in Mexico.He had a glimpse of the creature but before he could take a picture,it burst into a thick black smoke before flying off into the sky.
Hunter:Sounds like a demon.
Jessica:D-demon?
Hunter:Only demons can do that.But what bothers me is how they appear all at once and not just in one place but all over the world.I mean,demon's can't just pop out from the ground.It's not that simple.Normally,demons can only come here by using a Hell's Gate but the Organization is in charge of the only Hell's Gate and there are no reports of demons passing through it.Only high level demons can come to our world as ease.
Jessica:Wait a minute.Hunter,are you saying that...Hell is real?
Hunter:What? Even though you're working for an Organization that deals with the supernatural and whatnot,you still don't believe in Hell?
Jessica:It's just that...this is the first time I've ever heard of it.
Hunter:Well now you know.Oh and by the way.Heaven and Angels are real as well.
Jessica:R-right.

The door to the room slides open and three male Agents rushed in.Hunter turns his attention to them.He notice that the three of them were bleeding in some parts of their bodies.

Hunter:State your business.
Male Agent A:Sir.We found something we think is related to all of this.
Hunter:And that is?

The Agent takes out something from the pocket of the coat he was wearing.It was a small metal box with strange marking on it.Hunter takes it from the Agent's hand and instantly knows what it was.Jessica comes closer to Hunter to get a better look as well.

Hunter:A demon box.
Jessica:Demon box?
Hunter:This must be Alastor's doing.These box is used to store demons in it.A high level demon can easily bring these things into the human world.

Hunter turns to the Agents who just arrived.

Hunter.Tell me.Where did you find this?
Male Agent B:France,sir.We were fighting some demons when we happened to come across that.It was glowing but the moment I grabbed it,it stopped glowing.
Hunter:This might just be a hunch but when that happened,did you see anymore demons?
Male Agent B:Now that you've mentioned it,no.We scouted the city but there were no demons to be found.After that,we immediately came her to give it to you.
Hunter:Just as I thought.
Jessica:What is it?(looks at hunter)
Hunter:It deactivates when a human gets a hold of it.Jessica,send a message to all the other branches across the world.Tell them what we just learned.(looks at jessica)
Jessica:Right.(nods)

Jessica quickly sends a message through her tablet.Hunter gaze at the metal box in his hand.

Hunter:If we don't stop Alastor now,who knows what he'll do next.(thinks to self)

Meanwhile,in a cafeteria located in a different part of HQ.Anya was quietly eating a bowl of salad with a sad look on her face when someone stops beside her.She looks to her right to see that it was Hana.She too had a bowl of salad in her hands.
