~5 days later~
*Nate*
Its been five days since Mark sacrificed himself to save Hell and the Human world, but to me it feels like five centuries. Everyone and everything went back to what they used to be, but I still missed my friend. At least he will be remembered as a hero for both Hell and the Human world... Another person I miss is my father. Since I'm now king and everything, I was hoping to make my father proud, instead I lost him as well...
*Mad*
Nate started dazing off while looking out the window again, so I spoke his shoulder. "Hey, you're dazing off again..." He came back, "Sorry just...ya know." He placed a card down on he bar table. "You gotta get over this stuff, I know they were close, but crying over them is not gonna do anything." Anti said, placing his card.
"I'm not crying, just miss them." Nate said to Anti. Blank put another card down and drank from his drink, "Honestly, I'm just glad I'm not hypontized anymore, it sucked."
Xyler places a card down as well, "At least we aren't dead, and you're king dude! Be happy about that!" I placed a card down smiling, winning the game. Everyone groans and I take the gold in the middle. "Ever since he started playing with us, he's been beating you Nate, don't you care if your losing money?" Anti questioned.
Nate wasn't paying attention again, so
Anti snapped his fingers in front of his face, brining him back on earth. "Sorry again...what were you saying?" I look at him worried, "Are youOK Nate? Now I'm starting to worry to." Nate shakes his head, "Nah, I'm fine, don't worry!"I wasn't convinced, but I didn't wanna keep asking him so I decided to leave and go to Flames lab. He was working on a say for demons to not be tempted to drink humans blood when there near them, since Nate complained that he was tempted when he was near Mark.
I arrive at the lab, seeing Flame testing out the braclet, which was suppose to control there blood-needing. I walked up to him, "Need any help?" He shoke his head and continued working. "How's Nate doing" He said not looking at me. "Depressed as usual." I awnsered. Flame sighed, "Wish we could help him, or else we might have a depressed king forever."
I think about a way to help him, then something pops up, "Can't we just bring Mark back?"
Flame laughs, "Bringing the dead back would be stupid, besides it would probably bring Dark back too, unless..."
I put my finger up, "Unless! We can bring demons back to life, so why not humans?" Flame paused to think, "It could work, but Mark might be different." I nodded. "True, yet IF it works, Nate would be happy with his friend again. Isn't that what matters?"
Flame thought for a moment, then sighed, "Ok, let's give it a shot."
~~Two days later (Sorry for alot of time skipping)~~
*Nate*
Its no surprise that Flame and Mad have been hiding something for the last two days, but I think they told my friends and they know too, making them hide it too. It had to be with something in the lab, since that is where they hang out alot, and it should be intresting since, duh thwy won't tell me! So I was finally getting to the bottom of this and figure out what's going on.
I sneak down the hall near Flames room, and open the door slowly. I peek in, knowing that he should be in the lab, which he was. I go in the room quietly and head to the lab door in his room. It was cracked a little, so I peeked in to see what they we're working on. All I saw was Mad and Flame, and a bunch of other sciency stuff, but nothing cool. Something was blocking my view though, since a pole was infront of it, so I eavesdrop on them.
"You think we finally got it right?" Mad questioned Flame.
"Yup! Should be, because I ran so many tests, just hopping it doesn't back fire." He awnsered.
"What if he does not like him?” Mad said. Flame scoffed, "No way, anyways he should be ready in a while, so I'm going to the Kitchen to eat something, wanna join?" Mad nodded and followed Flame out, after I quickly ran in the closet, not be suspected.
When they leave the room, I run straight in the lab room. I look to see that the thing blocking me was a cell room. A red label on top of the door handle signalled that the door was locked. I looked around, till finding the button to unlock it. I tap the button, and the door unlockes, and slides open.
I slowly go in the room, and look to see.. "Dark?!" There he was, tied to a table. Why on earth would they give me him? Must be a prank. I was about to walk out, when I hear him wake up.
"H-Huh? I'm alive.....how?" Dark said, trying to get out of the table.
He looks up and sees me, "Nate! Oh thank god you brought me back! I thought I was gonna be dead forever! Being dead is weird a-" I punch his face. "Your 'niceness' isn't gonna work Dark, so you can just shut up already."
"Dark? Where?!" He looks at himself, "Wait, why do I look like him?!!" Dark yells. "Because you are him, duh, lost some brain while you were dead?"He turns to me,"No Nate, its actually me, Mark! I don't know why I look like this though, believe me!!" I laugh at him, "Nice try, but it won't work."
"Actually, he is not wrong..." I heard Mad's voice behind me. "He is Mark, just had to be placed in Darks body to come back to life." Flame continued for Mad. I turned around to them, "So...Mark is actually back?!" They both nod, "Seems to be." They both say. I look at Mark and runs to him, "Your back!" I hug him. He nervously laughs, "Ya, can we hug later when I'm not being tied to a table?"
I let go of him and help untie him. Flame walks up to Mark, "Since you're in Dark's body, you have his powers too, so I need to see what they are and if they are stable enough." Mark nods in understandment and follows Mad to another room.
Time flies when I figure out that Mark almost has ever power out there, even shape-shifting, which was really rare. The tests finally pass and they let me hang out with him. "Come on, we can head to the bar!" I teleport there, but quickly rememeber that he was still learning his powers. I teleports back to him and teleport him with me to the bar. "Heh, Thanks" Mark says.
"Your wel-" "DARKS BACK AND HES GOT THE KING!!" Someone in the bar says. Demons start raving out and get there weapons of and point them at Mark. "No no wait! Its Mark, he just was brought back to life as a demon! Trust me, please put the weapons down." I say as I push someone's sword down to there side.
"What ever you say, Nate" One of them say, and everyone else backs up.
I hea Mark sigh of relief, and followed me to the table where the others were. "Oh shit!" Anti said, jumping up from the table, while the others move from Mark. "W-Why is he back?!!" Blank said worriedly. "Calm down, it's Mark, but in Darks body." I say. Xyler moves back to his seat, "So he's cool..?" I nod. Anti jumped back in his seat"OK then, you both can join the game then, since we no see our cards.." He says, as he points to all the flipped over cards on the table.We all sit down and play another bet for the next two hours, and Mark's surprisingly pretty good. We head home and I show him his room he will stay in for the night. "Will I ever go back to the human world and see me other friends?" Mark asks. "Ya, Dark also had the ability to look human too, so it won't be a problem." I awnser.
He smiles at me and goes to his room, "Night Nate." "Night Mark" and I go to my room. I thought I saw his eyes flash red when he went to his room, but I guess not.
Just hope nothing bad happens in the future.
Or will it?
