Chapter 14: Chapter 14: I am the mother of demons!
Aslalo "Cole? Nothing. He is nothing but a peasant. Why would I ever be his friend? No one will ever care for a monster like him...Is what I would like to say at least. What is he to me now? I don't know. A potential friend I guess...who knows? But I won't know if your little plan succeeds."
Angillina "It's okay he knows."
Cole "Grrrrr…"
Aslalo "What did you do?"
Angillina "Allowed him to hear what he needed to. He is nothing. He is a worthless piece of shit."
Cole stood up, the blade once deep in his back pushed out by his body healing.
Cole "Worthless piece of shit huh?"
Aslalo "Cole! Are you okay? We have to hurry before they blee…"
Cole "Shut your mouth trash. Angillina, who is your god?"
Angillina "My lord you are!"
Angillina quickly dropped to the ground kneeling before Cole. Giddy excitement in anticipation for praise filled angillina as she waited for her god to give her the life she felt she wanted.
Cole "Me? A god? Do I look benevolent to you?"
Angillina "Yes my lord. You are my benevolent god! The one who will save me from death."
Charles "Aslalo run… run and don't look back. Get as far away from here as possible mate. Get Principal Eve and bring her here!"
Cole "Save you from death? Is that what you want?"
Angillina "It's the only thing I want. My master told me how to please you! I gave you sacrifices, each of them are still alive so you can have a warm meal. Does this please you?"
Cole smiled as he patted angillina's head. His soft gentle touches turning into rough violent strokes, tearing out angillina's hair with each stroke.
Cole "Yes, it pleases me a lot. I've only had one meal and it was sweet like Candi, especially when she cried out to a god on deaf ears when i tore into her flesh."
Angillina "What?"
Cole "You are my meal right? Did your master not tell you? I like to hunt for my food."
Angillina's desperate smiles faded as the realization set into place. Cole was no god. Worse she was praying to a monster that wanted nothing more than to devour her on the spot. Cole's mouth watering as he gripped angillina's throat and watched fear set in. Angillina's face started to change from a pale tan to a dark red to a dark blue and purple.
Cole "Yes! That look right there! It's the same one candi had!"
Angillina, fearful of her life coming to an abrupt end, started kicking and screaming as much as she could with her windpipe being crushed. As her eyes started rolling to the back of her head cole started shaking her.
Cole "No, look into the eyes of your 'god' hahahaha. Yes, stare into my eyes. Look at me! Keep fighting and struggling. I like my meals with some fight in them."
Charles "ASLALO NOW! MOVE!"
Cole tossed angillina to the ground foamy spit coming from her mouth.
Cole "And just where do you think you are running off to my little blue jay?"
Charles "Oi you demonic fuck. Your fights with me mate."
Cole "You aren't worth my time."
Charles "I am the purity of life, Come clean...se..my...enemies...Water drag...drag...on…"
Cole "I always thought it was stupid when they said we had to wait until the spell was cast. Who fights like that? Seriously? Just waiting for you to say an attack? You think you're in some cheesy show? Move weakling, my prey is getting away, I'm starving and I will be highly upset if I don't get something to eat...toodles."
Cole walked away allowing Charles to drop to the ground. Aslalo ran as fast as he could to the office when he felt Him following.
Aslalo "I am going as fast as I can, how did he catch up?"
Cole "Asslalo...Where are you buddy...I just want to talk."
Aslalo "This is bad. He is gaining power far too quickly. What is this?"
Cole "Hey Aslalo...how are you?"
As if running into a brick wall Aslalo crashed into Cole. Trying his best, Aslalo ran to the side of Cole being captured again. Aslalo felt the hopelessness grow within his body. Each attack he launched at Cole was pointless as it did nothing more than excite cole to fight.
Cole "We are at your speed fourty five seconds away from ms.Eve. every fifteen seconds i'm going to cripple you. Three chances before I eat you. Run."
Cole pulled the glasses off of aslalo's face, stepping on them. Aslalo looked around to see darkness. Trying to get a feel for his surroundings he realised he couldn't feel or taste anything. Testing out his predicament he screamed but everything just sounded like it was underwater. Fear began to set in as he ran straight towards the office hitting wall after wall in his path towards ms.Eve.
Cole "Demon magic zero point. Fourteen, thirteen, twelve…"
Aslalo finally getting his bearings with the help of evanescence ran straight towards the office Cole close behind patiently stalking his prey while growing ever closer.
Cole "You call me a peasant but have you ever walked in my shoes? There is no one who will guide you as you stumble into wall after wall, no one who hears your cries of pain and sadness, never knowing the taste of victory or a kind touch. Being completely unable to see the light in a world of darkness. This is what it's like to be me. Day in and day out annoying suffering. The looks everyone gives you. The snide remarks. Always being looked at as a failure before even trying. It's sickening. You know i really thought if i won that tournament people would look at me with some sort of respect but alas here i am a demon hunting it's prey. Guess they were right."
Aslalo "No, that's something you made yourself out to be. Where is your fault in this? You held office for one day. Next thing we know you want to destroy the system then you go full psycho. How is any one supposed to accept something they can't fathom?"
Cole "Zero. Demon magic blood loss. They didn't try to understand. I was judged the moment I stepped foot outside. Your dad is a ranger how can you be so weak? Your mom was the best healer, heal your broken arm yourself. You're nothing but a cripple. I hate you. Stupid. Worthless Ew low class. Filth. Trash. Monster. Demon. Non stop for the last two years I received messages, emails, calls all just to label me as something i'm not. Never a 'Cole are you okay? We know you have been raped and tortured for a week. How are you? Not one 'You did well today.' Nothing but insults and expectations."
As aslalo ran blood began to leak from his eyes, nose, and ears. As he ran, more blood began to pour out. Trying his best not to pass out aslalo pushed onward toward the door. It was close and with just fifteen seconds to spare Aslalo pushed himself with everything he had, eventually falling to the ground Aslalo didn't give up and began crawling towards the door. Almost reaching it, he kept pushing onward. Just one more push he thought to himself. If i could just do one more.
Aslalo "You're probably right. I wouldn't know what happened to you. No one would. Why? Because Cole, you do the same thing. You are a hypocrite who judges everyone based on your subjective interpretation of the world. Naiomi gave her life to save you. The council collectively after your speech had faith that you would bring change. I thought I could be your friend."
Cole "Zero...Guess that's in the past now."
Aslalo pressed his hand against the door of the office. He did it. He won,or so he thought.
Cole "Just like me, You realize what it means to try and fail. To keep pushing even if the odds are against you for it to mean nothing. To use up every bit of your blood sweat and tears to reach your goal and for it to mean nothing."
Aslalo "I won. That was the deal. I reached the door."
Cole "Demon magic false hope. You thought I would ever be fair to someone like you?"
Aslalo's hand faded through the door, realizing he was nowhere near his goal. He lost hope, turning on his back he waited for the pain to come. He gave up completely and surrendered himself to be devoured by Cole in his bloodlust, but nothing came. Suddenly his senses returned to see Cole's eyes shift from red to purple.
Samael "Asslalo...funny seeing you here."
Aslalo "Likewise Samael. What happened?"
Samael "Cole needs your help. He is battling his demons alone. Those drugs are tearing at his sanity."
The school faded into a white background. Aslalo looked around, finding nothing but Samael with chains binding everything but his left arm.
Aslalo "What is this?"
Samael "Call it what you like. Most would call it a cop out, others a deus ex machina, Many fixing plot holes...I say an intervention. Although, I did do this out of boredom."
Aslalo "What? Where am I? An intervention? What drivel are you going on about?"
Samael "Hahaha we have all the time in the world. Well actually to be more precise we don't have time here haha. We are in my cage. God put it inside Cole to keep me trapped but as you can see my influence extends far and wide, even in here."
Aslalo "So all of that was just a dream or something?"
Samael "No, it did happen. I just erased that timeline from existence before you, cole, or anyone was born. You see I'm rather fond of that boy. He is the most like Mal'ak…"
Aslalo "Who is Mal'ak?"
Samael "All in due time. Any who...I'm rather fond of Cole ya see and I can't save him from everything that happens. There are rules and what not."
Aslalo "Aren't you an angel? Can't you be multiple places at once?"
Samael "Yes and no? It's complicated, simply put I am physically inside of Cole, And exist only within him currently. My consciousness however exists in all timelines at once. Angels are not omni-preseant like that book, you people wrote seem to think we are. I can't see the future but what I can do is visit a timeline or universe where time is sped up rapidly to see future events. If I don't like what I see, it goes poof. If I can't poof it because dear old dad said no. then I remember the events. In that universe I was separated from Cole, him being under the influence of those drugs tapped into his potential and he merged all timelines through his abilities as an angel. That's why I killed all the nephilim twice. Quite the dangerous lot."
Aslalo "So why me?"
Samael "Trust me boy, you aren't anything special. At least in the grand scheme of things. That contract you signed. Why did you lie? Did you not read the whole thing?"
Aslalo "No, why would I read the whole thing? It was just malarkey anyway."
Samael "You really should have read it. Anyway, You gave me access to your mind. That was the small print at the bottom."
Aslalo "This is important why?"
Samael "Because I saved you. That girl Angillina put a spell on your mind. I modified it when you signed the contract."
Aslalo "Okay I think I've heard enough...I have one finial question."
Samael "Good I'm glad. Go on boy, ask your worries."
Aslalo "What was real and what wasn't? Is angillina really about to sacrifice Cole?"
Samael "That's two questions...but sure, what am I to expect of a human?"
Aslalo "Answers."
Samael "In a way it wasn't real...at least not yet. Right now you are fighting the other members of the council. Cole really will become a demon lord if he doesn't stop taking those pills. I wish not to say this but I need your help in doing so but it needs to be o hush hush ya know?"
Aslalo "If it is going to happen then why isn't god stopping it? According to you he is real right?"
Samael "I thought you were finished with the questions? It's not that god can't stop him. He doesn't want to. If anything he wants Cole to become a demon lord. You humans are becoming complacent again."
Aslalo "Cole is going to become the new devil isn't he?"
Samael "You aren't as dumb as you look. You're half right
Aslalo "So you are telling me that the world may come to an end just to put us in check? Thats awfully disingenuous of a benevolent god."
Samael "Well it's not out of the norm for father to get his feathers ruffled and besides the world isn't coming to an end. The universe would."
Aslalo "You say that as if it's any better!"
Samael "The truth is always better than a lie is it not?"
Aslalo "I guess. Now let me go. The situation is dire."
Samael "I can't, as you can see I'm stuck here. Be a dear and unbind my right hand would you."
Aslalo "What? No! You were obviously tied up for a reason."
Samael "Need I remind you I was bound by that disingenuous god and not to mention what can I do? I'm trapped in a cage, sealed inside of Cole and heavily surpressed by his power. It's not like I'm asking you to free me. Just simply unbind my right hand and I can let you out."
Aslalo hesitated as a key appeared in his hand. Slowly he approached Samael, cautious but willing to set him free. As the key approached the lock Aslalo felt something inside of him scream not to listen to chuck the key as far as he could away, but he didn't listen. Instead Aslalo sighed as he unshackled Samaels hand.
Aslalo "You had one free hand why not just unbind yourself?"
Samael "Well you see, as stated these were made by god himself. The only thing that can go against a direct order from god are you humans."
Aslalo "Why?"
Samael "You ask too many questions. I don't know, reasons. Oh and before i forget tell Ms.naiomi I said grab cole and run. Any who see ya later idiot."
Aslalo "Wha..."
With a wave of his hand Samael sent Aslalo out of his cage and back into his body. Samael now floating in the air with a huge grin, started to pull on his chains snapping the ones holding his wings back.
Samael "Just my wings huh? Whatever soon enough I will be free and the moment I am. Hahaha Just you wait father, I'll make you regret ever putting me in this cage."
Aslalo blinked back into his body finding himself being held by everyone in the class. Realizing Aslalo calmed down the students holding him down let him go.
Aslalo "Naiomi, get Cole and run to the court yard!"
Naiomi "What? Why? What's the matter? First you black out and now this?"
Aslalo "Samael said he was in danger."
Naiomi "How do you...Cole we have to go NOW!"
Cole "What? Why?"
Without a second thought Naiomi grabbed Cole and started running towards the field. Shortly after they left Angillina burst through the croud of students.
Angillina "Where's Cole?"
Shawnte "Naiomi took him to the courtyard, why?"
Angillina "He's in danger!"
Aslalo "Danger of what?"
Angillina "There are demons there to kill him!"
Aslalo "I don't believe you."
Angillina "What!? Aslalo now is not the time to fight me. We have to go quickly!"
Aslalo "No, we are all going to stay right here. Don't move, Angillina Vizzkarra you are under arest for conspiracy to commit a coup. Grab her!"
Angillina "So you saw through the ruse huh? Well I can't say I'm surprised. Who spilled the beans? Naiomi?"
Aslalo "No, lets say a little birdy told me."
Angillina "Did that bird tell you what I was planning?"
Aslalo "Every exact detail."
Angillina "Good then everything is as I planned."
Angillina snapped her finger instantly putting the remaining council members under her control. With a second snap Angillina sent the council members after Aslalo. With his lighting fast reflexes Aslalo quickly dodged the attacking students eventually being cornered by the council. Just as he grit his teeth preparing for a fight, Charles burst through the wall exactly as Samael showed Aslalo in his vision.
Charles "Sorry I'm late mate. Hopefully, I could get at a couple of them eh?"
Aslalo "I think I'd rather fight them alone."
Charles "I 'n't think that's a good idea mate. Seems like you're out classed here."
Aslalo "Fine, but don't get in my way."
Charles "Oi that's my line."
As Aslalo and Charles fought the council Angillina slipped away in pursuit of Cole. She searched high and low until she caught a glimpse of him fighting in the courtyard through the hallway window.
Angillina "Oh this is better than I imagined. Don't worry master, I won't disappoint you."
Cole and Naiomi reach the center of the courtyard when they are suddenly surrounded by four demons. Naiomi drew a sword for both her and Cole as the demons slowly closed them in. Back to back they racked their brains to figure out a way to get out of the situation as best they can.
Naiomi "Okay there's four of them and two of us what are we gonna do?"
Cole "Me? You're the security expert."
Naiomi "And you're our leader. You can't expect everyone to do everything for you Cole."
Cole "Ugh, Angelos scan for power and plausible faith affinity. Deablos scan for additional targets. Samael...stay put and don't do shit!"
Naiomi "One is a level three demon, one is a level two and the rest are a level one. Be care...ful."
Cole foolishly rushed towards the largest demon he could. As he got closer he felt his body be crushed under the pressure of the monster's power. Fighting through it, Cole threw a jab sending the demon flying across the courtyard.
Cole "Level three my ass. I can't believe his power was so tense too."
Drakeel "Um...I'm the level three."
Cole "Huh?"
Suddenly Cole went flying. The force of the blow was enough to knock the wind out of him. When he stopped rolling on the ground Naiomi rushed over, doing her best to heal Cole's wounds she wasn't paying attention to the demon sneaking up behind her.
Cole "Worry about yourself idiot!"
Cole pushed naiomi out of the way, taking a blade to his arm. Using the sword naiomi gave him he hacked off the demon's arm and kicked it back.
Cole "Ahhh fuck this hurts."
Naiomi "Stay still I'll heal you."
Cole "It takes too long. We have to deal with this now. Shit! What the hell? We get two demon attacks and that fucking dickhead. Think! There has to be something."
Samael "Maybe I can be of assistance?"
Cole "No! I can do this myself!"
Samael "Sure, knock yourself out. Actually Hurly is going to."
Hurly threw a punch barely missing Cole. Seeing an opportunity to attack Naiomi cut the tendons in Hurly's legs, dropping him to the floor. Hurly not giving up counters with a back fist to Naiomi's face. Small drops of blood hit the floor from Naiomi's lip. Cole tried to intervene but was stopped by Drakeel slamming his face into the ground.
Drakeel "Wow and you are supposed to be our king? Lucifer must have meant another Cole Yankell hahahahaha."
Cole "Huh, I don't remember being a king. Face me in a one on one coward."
Drakeel "Coward? I guess you are right, four on two is pretty cowardly. However, which one of our faces is in the dirt? Oh that's right."
Cole "Fuck yo-Ack!"
Before Cole could finish his sentence Drakeel stamped on his back making him cough up a tad bit of blood on Naiomi's face. Shock and hate started to set in as Naiomi watched Cole get pounded into the ground by the demons.
Drakeel "Wait until we give him the pills to have your fun. The report says he becomes like the angels and passes out. After that do with him what you will. Oh Queen Lucifer was very explicit, no lasting damage or scars or that's our heads. He is still our king, initiate him to the demon ranks."
Drakeel puts five blu-sky pills into Cole's mouth and as predicted he suddenly passes out. After checking Cole was totally out, the demons focused completely on Naiomi. Using their combined might they were able to subdue her.
Drakeel "Sheesh, you're stronger than our supposed king. If only you were a guy."
Naiomi "He isn't your king pig!"
Drakeel "Of course he is. Lucifer said so, Our queen has never lied once in the eons she ruled hell."
Naiomi "My mother once told me the greatest lie was the unbelievable truth."
Drakeel "Hahaha you're a smart one. You stalling for time aren't you? There isn't any back up coming. Look around...they are scared shitless. The demon students won't even intervene. I mean if I were them I'd be hiding. Like anyone would believe they had nothing to do with this attack. Anyway tourture to be done and what not."
Naiomi "Wait wait...please, take me instead. I'll take his place. I can heal infinitely surely I'd be more fun. Imagine ripping my limbs off and they grow back. Wouldn't that be fun? Come on...You know you want to."
Drakeel "Nope, not interested."
Naiomi "What about money? I can give you all of the money you could ever need in a billion lifetimes."
Hurly "What need of money do we have? Our queen provides all we need."
Naiomi "How about something she can't give you? Something only I can give? You can take my first time... I know you soldiers are probably pent up after fighting. I could relive your stress."
Drakeel "Nah, you're not pretty enough. The succubi are much hotter and they can be virgins too."
Zabul "We may be demons but we follow orders. We were told to torture Cole and nothing can stop that. So say the contact."
Naiomi "I'll give you my soul. Each of you can have a fourth. I read in my mother's books if demons consume a soul they gain the knowledge and abilities of said soul. Imagine being able to control time and space itself? Travel to any time or place in an instant. Please leave him be. Don't hurt him."
Cable "You angel programs are sick. You would sacrifice all of time and space for your selfish desires but we demons are monsters?"
Naiomi started to cry as her pleas were ignored. Each demon one after another started to flog Cole. The slashes would wake him up long enough to let out a blood curdling scream before passing out again. The screams of Cole and the laughter of the demons angered Naiomi. As they took turns beating on Cole, Naiomi's Breathing started to get deeper and heavier, her brow started to twitch, Her body began to twist and convulse in all sorts of ways. When the demons noticed what was going on they tried to hold her down but were sent away with a burst of dark purple and black energy. Naiomi slowly stood up, her normally emotionless face for the first time showed pure anger as her eyes turned a bright crimson red.
Naiomi "Now look at what you've done. All that work for nothing. Such bothersome children."
Drakeel "Mother?"
