Universal Heroes- Book 3

It was now dark. The man had locked up and left about 2 hours ago. Denis was the first to teleport outside his cage and turn into his human form again. He grabbed a set of keys that the man left on top of his desk. He unlocked our cages and gave us time to become human again.

"I'm going to fucking kill Sub the next time I see him." Alex said, scratching his arm.

The moonlight shining through a window illuminated Alex's arm, which was red all over. It looked painful.

"When we get home we'll get some calamine lotion for that." I said.

"Yeah and no killing Sub okay?" Denis said, trying different keys in the door.

"No promises." Alex said.

Denis finally got the door open after multiple tries, and we all peeked in, looking for any traps. It looked clear to me so I stepped in first. It took a while for the others to follow but I know what I'm doing.

"Try to look for any evidence of this guy doing shit." Denis said.

"Not our first time Denis.." I said, searching through some files and taking pictures of anything interesting.

I heard Denis sigh loudly and laughed to myself. He gets so irritated over the smallest things.

"Yo take a look at this." Elijah said from across the room. He was at the computer. We surround him while he types in something into the computer.

"Okay so what's the name of the dog that got stolen earlier today?" Elijah said.

"Lionel." I replied.

"Okay.." he said, typing in the name.

A spreadsheet came up with multiple names. They were all under arranged under the letters S U N N Y L I G H T according to the first letter of the name.

"Sunny Light..that's the name of the demon girl.." Ethan said.

"How do we know she's a Light though?" Denis asked.

"There's no other last names in the family. Star's dad is dead and the only relative her mom has is Nyeka and she took the Light name. The devil doesn't have any family either." Alex said.

"Go to the end of the lists..I wanna check something.." I said.

Elijah scrolled to the bottom of the list.

"None of our names our there, so what is he gonna do with us?" I asked.

"Dunno.." Denis said, shrugging.

"Okay so let's recap. He's working with Sunny for sure. She's definitely related to me, Elijah and Alex somehow. All the animals that have been taken into here definitely have her letters as their first name...now begs the question, where did he put them?" Ethan explained.

There was a glowing purple light coming from behind us, and when we turned around Alex was standing in the middle of the room, glowing, and looking down.

"Isn't this the same marking from Sunny's little hideout place?" Alex asked.

"Yeah..but how are you doing that..?" I asked, walking towards him.

"Doing wh- woah...I guess it's my demonic spirit?"

"Idea." Ethan said, joining Alex. He started to glow a bluish green colour. Elijah didn't seem to catch on so Ethan dragged him onto the marking and Elijah started to glow orange.

The place started to shake and there was a low rumbling sound for a short time while the ground opened beneath them. Next thing we knew, they were gone.

Denis and I looked down the deep hole, then at each other.

"Y'all okay?" I shouted down there. My voice echoing gave me chills just thinking about how deep it was.

"Yeah we're good!" Elijah shouted back.

"I'M NOT!" Alex shouted.

"'Kay we're coming." I shouted. "Lock the door so we can't be followed." I told Denis.

Denis was already at the door, locking it. He took my hand and I blushed a little. ONLY A LITTLE..

Denis teleported the both of us to the bottom of the hole and what we saw was kinda amazing.
