Deception

Page 20

The steps are like echoes, pulsating in my mind, but somehow, it's peaceful. I walk up to the throne, and I lay the box with Satan's head into the seat, and I disintegrate it, along with him. I hear a couple pebbles move, and I turn my head to see, and it's Maze.

" What have you done?" She asks, heaving.

" I killed the Devil." I say.

She whips out a blade, and chucks it at me, and I dodge it by moving my head slightly to the left. I send her through a portal to Earth, and she disappears from my sight. I hear footsteps that shake the entirety of hell, almost knocking me over.

" What the hell?" I exclaim.

That's when out of a portal in the ground, Aeron hops out in front of me, and I sit down in the throne.

" Cole." He says in a voice that bounces of the walls like a rubber ball.

" Aeron." I respond.

Plasma begins to rise from the ground that surrounds Aerons boots.

" Where's Nina?" He asks with obvious rage in his voice.

I make flame rise around my throne, but it doesn't phase him. He starts walking towards me, so I send the same dragon spell, but he doesn't even flinch.

" You think you know heat, you know nothing." He says.

He raises his left hand, and out of his fingers lightning strikes me. Thousands of lightning strikes a second, and after a couple seconds, I can feel my skin begin to bubble and boil. I go to stab him with a hunk of sharpened he'll steel but it just bounces off of his suit. It's black and gold with silver detailing maneuvering around his body like rivers. Where my blade struck him, I see a golden wave boom, and I kick him in the side, which stops his lightning assault, and sends him into a wall, cracking the stone. He immediately jumps right back up, throwing a plasma blade at me that I just barely dodge. I throw fifteen steel blades at him, and he stops every single one in midair, and he uses some kind of telekinesis to throw them all back at blinding speeds. I grab two of them graze me, and the rest I manage to stop or destroy.

" Your powers, how did you get them?" I ask in the midst of throwing three grenades at him.

" From a dead man." He says whilst taking three grenade blasts to the chest, stomache, and face.

He takes out two short, curved, silver swords, with gold and black details. He slams the blades towards me, and I just barely create a shield in time to block it, but the swords almost cut through the steel. I push the swords back, and I kick him into a wall, and in return he creates a portal on the ground, and he tries to grab me, but I stab through the suit with a hell steel dagger. He ignores it and he throws both of us into the portal, sending us to Earth. We fly into a junk yard, and shard of metal punctures through my stomache, and Aeron stands up out of a pile of destroyed cars. He literally lifts a car up in one hand, and chucks it towards me, and I make the heat rise in my neck and throat, and I blast so much heat that it vaporizes the vehicle. I shoot hellfire into him, and that seems to affect him, but he returns with lightning. He takes out his swords, and he chucks one of them through my flames, and it sticks into the metal behind me. I grab the sword, and I jump up to him, locking our blades together in an X. I stomp into his chest, creating a blade that punctures his stomach smoothly, and blood leaks out like a faucet.

" Aaahhhhh!" He screams in rage.

He stabs me back with a dagger, that he rips up to my chest, and he throws me down. He raises his hands, making some strange motions with his hands as plasma and fire wrap around his arms like a swords leather handle. He then uses his telekenesis to levitate himself miles above the ground, and he plummets fist first into the ground, shaking the earth beneath me as I slowly rip the dagger out my flesh. It quickly heals, but I can still feel pain, and the earth under me cracks away into a pit of burning magma.

" HOLY SHIT!" I exclaim.

I jump out of the way, and I shoot chains into the stone, trying to stitch up the Earth. It doesn't work obviously, I'm just not strong enough, but Aeron takes advantage of me and chucks a spear right through my chest, which I push right through. He whips out a plasma sword.

" Is that a fucking lightsaber?!" I shout.

He sprints towards me and we clash bladed, and I pull out a knife and stab him through the chest, which punctures right through his heart. I look down, and another lightsaber looking thing is pierced through my chest, and I bleeding like a waterfall. We both fall down, taking out our blades, and coughing up blood in synchronicity. I look back on this whole situation, and I chuckle at it, and surprisingly so does Aeron.

" The fuck are you laughing at?" I ask laughingly.

" You fucking ruined my life, and now you're beating the shit out of me." He says laughingly.

" It doesn't look like it, or feel like it."

" You know what, I don't know a fuckin thing about you."

" I don't know much about you either."

" What made you hate me so much."

" I was terrified, and angry, and you acted really fucking suspicious."

" Yeah, but you killed my girlfriend."

" Yeah, I'm really sorry about that."

" Don't dwell on it."

" You know what, we might become friends in the end of this."

" Maybe."
