Snow Stained with Blood (Mephisto Pheles fanfiction)

Chapter 8 (part 2)

Hi everyone! sorry for the short delay for this chapter. I will hopefully be updating again this month to make up for lost time. I hope you enjoy this chapter! The next chapter will include some dialogue between Violet and Mephisto so look out for chapter 9 in a week or two! 

I ran in the general direction in which I heard Shiemi and Rin and from habit, I clutched the key around my neck 'wait I won't need to use Fura. The mission is simply to inform the teachers when we find the ghost' I thought. It wasn't long before I heard a loud crash in the direction of the large roller coaster just around the corner from where I was. I of course, instantly become worried about my fellow classmates and ran as fast as I could. When I got there I saw Rin fighting a man with green hair and punk-looking clothes, Shiemi was nowhere to be seen which was probably good in this situation, see as she wasn't much of a fighter and I could tell by looking at the way he moved, that this green-haired man was a demon. "Looks like I'll need to use you after all Fura!" I said grabbing the key, making it cover in a bronze coloured blaze before it turned into the large metal scythe. The demon fighting Rin seemed to notice me instantly and blinked at me twice, as if he was trying to work out why I was bothering to fight him. In that moment I leaped up towards where he was stood, on the metal frame of the rollercoaster, and swung my scythe as hard as I could, the sharp blade causing some of the metal beans around me to slice in half and collapse in turn creating a cloud of debris. However, I could tell as soon as I hit my target, it hit something solid as my scythe seemed to be lodged into something and once the cloud of dust disappeared I could see what...the demon had caught my scythe with one hand.
I gulped and felt a sense of dread.
How could he have possibly stopped such a powerful attack from me and Fura?! something like this has never happened before. I tried to pull my scythe away but he had a tight grip around the curved blade. "you humans are kinda weak you know" he said but I ignored his attempts to distract me, which seemed to anger him and he pulled the blade, and myself, towards him, the force causing me to lose balance and fall into him. He was taller than me, the top of my head only reaching his chin. His hand wrapped around the back of my waist, pinning my arms to my side and my body to his. He dropped my scythe and it fell into the rubble below us and it was at this moment I saw that he had Rin's sword. He pointed the demon sword towards me and used to tip of the blade to tilt my chin upwards, forcing me to look at him "don't ignore me" he said in a serious, yet almost playful tone. "who the hell are you?" I asked cautiously, there was a demon blade pointed near my throat and I didn't want to anger this demon any further. "My name is Amaimon, demon king of earth" as soon as the demon stated he was the king of earth I felt my heart sink into my stomach, I know me and Fura were strong together but not strong enough to defeat a demon king. I had to find a way to escape the demons grasp somehow "l-let me go!" I yelled at him while struggling in his grasp, which I realised made me sound pathetic but I couldn't think of what else to do; my scythe was several feet below, unless... "Fura! What are you waiting for?!" I yelled towards to ground. "You might as well just give up, there's no way you can get to your weap-" Amaimon stopped mid speech as the flaming mist of my weapon floated above us, it was Fura in his manifested form, holding my scythe in his hands. "Fura...you really came" I said, tears threatening to fall at the relief of Fura responding to my call; he had never been able to manifest himself with such density before to the point he was able to hold the scythe itself.

Before I Knew it, Fura swung at Amaimon, taking him by surprise and the only way for him to dodge the blade was for him to let me go. I fell slightly before Fura caught me in his arms "thanks Fura. I see you learnt a knew trick" I said in a grateful tone "yes. For a second, I felt our heartbeats line up perfectly and I knew that it was the right moment to pour my remaining energy to come and save you" He said in response as he floated down, placing me gently on the ground and handing the scythe back to me. I looked up to see Rin fighting with Amaimon again, now that I was out of the way, he was free to do some real damage. The fight was brutal, there was a clear winner from the beginning, Amaimon was a demon king after all, even if he was quite low ranking among them, and Rin didn't even have full control over his flames yet so, even though he out up a good fight, he was exhausted by the end. I had tried to help Rin during his fight but I kept getting knocked back by the king of earth, it was clear that his main focus was now on Rin. I could barely stand up after being knocked away so many times as there was so much force behind Amaimon attacks and I would usually crash into something. I even needed to use my scythe to hold me up as I dragged myself towards where Amaimon was shoving Rin's head into the ground "leave him alone!" I shouted with my remaining strength, I thought I wouldn't make it to him before he snapped Rin's sword but our classmate, Yamada, suddenly appeared with a demon sword and briefly clashed with Amaimon. They both threatened each other before Amaimon decided he would wait again to battle Rin...whether he was scared of Yamada or just board I don't know. Shiemi and Yukio arrived and hurried over to Rin to see if he was alright and I limped over there just as Yamada said "I can't go another day in this damn hoodie anyway" before removing the article of clothing "sorry kid, I'm not your classmate. I'm an inspector with the knights of the true cross. Vatican HQ sent me to investigate a dangerous element in the Japan branch. I'm senior exorcist first class, Shura Kirigakure" Shura was a tall woman who hair red hair that was yellow at the end. She wore nothing but some of the boy's uniform trousers and a sort of bikini top/bra, leaving her top half entirely exposed. She looked at me as I approached "Violet Apocrypha, we're going to HQ and I need you to come with us" she said in a official tone. "why me?" I asked, as I stood up straight after leaning on my scythe for so long. "I can tell that you know about what Rin really is and I suspect Mephisto will want to have a word with you about that just happened with that demon" she said. I gulped at the thought of having to speak to Sir Pheles again, I always got so shy around him. None the less I nodded and agreed to go with her "alright...lets go" I said whilst turning my scythe back into its recognisable key form.
