Awaken Book 2: Hell's Rejuvenation

14

"Damn It, DAMN IT, DAMMMNNN IIITTTT!" Christi yells as she has a temper tantrum. Kiano stays in his stance as she grows more angry. "Had enough?" He says as Hell's Gate appears next to her with a hand on her shoulder. "Change of plans. We have bigger fish to catch." He whispers in her ear as she nods and Ash, what's left of the bone dragon, him, and her disappears. He takes a deep breath and heals himself, "Now...if I can trace them, where did those kids go?" He says as he scratches his head.

-Zacko Village-

"How could we just leave Kiano like that?" Den says as she crosses her arms. "I'm sure everything's ok just we have to keep our heads up. Quinn, out of all places, why drop us at a ghost town..?" Madison asks him as the village seems to be empty. "To be honest, I really don't know but we should look for clues of what happened here.." Quinn says as they spread out and look through. Madison turns into a building as she hears something to her left, she turns her head quickly and sees nothing. "You gotta be quicker than that, I've taught you better. You grew lazy over time I wasn't here huh..." Johnson says as she looks at him with a stern stare. "Now...now...that's no way to say hi to your father." He says as he gets up from the chair he was on when she came in. "You're not my father....you're a monster." She replies as he smirks. "That's what I am?" He says back as his arms illuminate blue fire from the elbows to the fingertips. "What happened to you, you couldn't do that before.." She says as she notices how different he is compared to back then. "While you and your friends left me for dead, I had a backup plan...but now...thanks to Hell's Gate, I have more in stock." He says as he slams his hands to the ground and blue fire radiates the entire building within seconds and she jumps out of it. He jets to her with one hand as she dodges it and she tries to land a kick as he blocks it as well. "Should we have Johnson meet his daughter so soon..?" Garder says as Hell's Gate sits with Ash, Christi, Guttree, Arc, Thorne, and Xester. "We'll pull him out when it's needed, right now, I need everyone here." He says as everyone else looks at him. "What for?" Thorne asks as he smirks. "Hell Rejuvenation has already commenced and it's slow because the guardians are still a threat to our forces..." Garder says as he tosses a scroll to the table as it unravels and has pictures and writings on every guardians of the realms. "Heaven, Earth, Ebon, and Hell....weakest to strongest....if we manage to get the guardian from Hell maybe we'll have the advantage to advance and take Earth as ours." Hell's Gate says as he sees everyone. "You're planning to bring back Kronos aren't you? That spell Hell Rejuvenation or whatever would open up where he's trapped at and then what? He would kill us all, everyone should know that especially a monster like that is unaffected by magic." Christi pouts and crosses her arms. "I am a descendant of his thoughts, only I can transfer to his subconscious and make sure he joins us and not kill you(as long as you're on his good side)." Hell's Gate says as she doesn't change her attitude. "He won't harm you if you do everything right." He continues as he gets up. "So what? We're just going to Hell, taking its guardian, and drop it on earth?" Christi asks. "As easy as you made it sound...you wouldn't need all of us to be here..." Xester says as he scratches his head. "Earth got some...interesting characters down there." He says as Hell's Gate smirks. "They'll be a thing in the past as we come forth all hands on deck." Garder says as he balls his fists tighter and tighter.

Kain kicks SupaSound, Wenda, and Andrew on their backs as he seems to not have broken a sweat. "Incoming missiles." Allen's suit says as him and Wenda see them and fly away as Kain just stares at them. Ava lands on a side of the building with her new weapon as Mary and Hope floating behind tagging along. "Wait Ava before you see-." Allen says as Ava sees through the smoke and sees Kain in some white and black aura in form of a wolf all around him. "Brother?" Mary asks as Ava is in shock as if she has seen a ghost. Kain bends his knees and launches himself pass Andrew, Allen, and Wenda straight to Ava since her weapon caught his attention. Mary blocks his elbow as Ava couldn't move as Hope gets her out the way. "He seems possessed..." She says as the murderous stare he had when they were face to face. "That sorcerer MUST'VE DONE THIS!!" She aims her cannon towards him as she sees a man falls through a building as if he was thrown. A large demon with black skin and a broken horn glares to all of them as they freeze as they see its size and smiles at them. "HAAAAAA!!" She screams as she shoots multiple bullets as they all land and go through him. Kain disappears in the smoke as Ava flies straight to the demon as she punches his head. The ground cracks a little as it doesn't even phase him. "Shit." She says as he roars and the force behind it blows everyone back several miles and they all scatter from the blast. It forms a huge crater of nothing but blood and smoke as the demon rises out of the hole with a horde of winged demons and demons that were already out and about around some of the world.

"What was that?" Hiro says as he feels a shift in the air. "Not good." Okada says as BenKei disappears from his back, "Where did he go?" Genesis asks, "A safe place. He needs to heal and recuperate, he'll be fine. Right now, he's the least of your worries." He says as he closes his eyes. "So you're a guardian?" Hiro asks as he notices him. "Yes. A monk as a guardian is unheard of, but it's not a role you'd apply for. It's chosen for you." He says as he senses a pressure coming. "Luke's dead. Down one guardian and it's just me..." He says as Hiro steps towards him. "Earth isn't weak, we'll help protect it." He says with a thumbs up as Genesis giggles. The sky turns red as that same pressure takes over the atmosphere, "Shit...he's here. We gotta move. NOW." He says as he bursts into the air and the others follow.
