Devil Chasers my first original storyIts here. Its here!!! My first written project: a work on the occult, a kid that matures due to the circumstances, demons, swords technology and ESPers (ESPers may not be available at the time of reading this)
Here is a digest of the best parts from the first three phases the full three phases may be found in the link above:
Prologue:
In this world the forces of darkness are always trying to penetrate the veil of light that keeps us humans safe from the devils that inhabit darkness. In the night, the veil of light weakens and it is then that the demons can enter those who harbor darkness within their hearts. Those who have hared and anger are the targets of the devils. When negative emotions such as despair are in a persons hearts devils corrupt that person turning him into a “Seed” the seeds will then grow into the devil´s avatar. A body with no soul just driven only by the need to satisfy it`s ambitions of the previous life.
There are certain individuals that can see a seed. Those are known as the Devil Chasers. This is the story of a particular Devil Chaser. Kevin Hark, a young man with the potential to change the future, if he so desires the world will become a new one but what path is there to choose? Only time will tell.
Phase 1:
In the school bus Kevin was talking to his friend Marla Greenshaw the girl whom had been her friend since kindergarten and neighbor since they were little kids she had something to talk to him about
-Hey Kevin have you heard about the murders of late?
-Of course, I have read about them everyday its like someone is taking their organs but what for?
–Last night I heard some weird noises down the street and today the house was surrounded by the police.
–You mean that the last one happened near your house?
–Yes it was our neighbor Mr. Adams that died. He wasn’t very friendly and no one ever visited him he always seemed to be angry for some reason but he didn’t have to die. Its so scary what would happen if the killer comes after me next? It was so close last night
-Yeah that would be rather bad…
-Kevin you are such an idiot! –
The second she had said this she punched Kevin in the stomach and hitting him in the head repeatedly.
-You are supposed to say something manly like “Don’t worry Ill always protect you” or something like that!-
Kevin was still dizzy from such abuse on him and just whimpered.
-I believe the killer will need protection from you instead.-
-Kyaaah! Help me somebody please!-
It was Marla’s voice screaming at the top of her lungs. Something was terribly wrong. Kevin hurried inside and hit the light switch but the darkness remained but there was someone more likely something. That was standing in the middle of the room looking at Marla and not paying much attention to Kevin who was so frightened he could hardly make any noise let alone move or try to help. The silhouette was giving off the aura of darkness he had seen before the clouds then cleares letting the moonlight pass through the window. It was then that he could see what was in front of him. A tall and slim creature with rugged dark purple skin that could be believed to be human shaped. However it clearly was not human since it had long horns that curled up in their tips. A long prominent chin and long razor sharp claws that dripped on the carpet. What seemed to be blood mixed with a foul smelling substance that was most likely the poison it secreted. Gathering what little courage was left within him he screams:
-Marla! What happened?-
-Its Mr. Ramones he, he is that thing he did something to my parents I heard them scream and then the lights went out.
-Mr. Ramones is that thing?
The creature lunged at Kevin trying to slash him with his claws but luckily he was able to dodge it thanks to a quick sidestep and make a run for the kitchen. There he grabbed a knife from the drawers, a rather large and sharp one although now armed he knew he was at a complete disadvantage. The demon once more launched an attack yet Kevin was once more able to save himself from the attack by the skin of his teeth.
“This is no good at this rate I am going to die before I can even hit it. There is nothing I can do”Phase 2
Kevin seemed to be floating into a space of complete emptiness not even light was there except for the one he could see emanating from himself as if he were the only source of light in this void. He tried to move forward only to see that this space seemed to be infinite and completely empty.
-Where am I?-
-In the limbo.- said a voice he knew was familiar but who’s was it?
-Limbo? Is this not that the place for the souls that aren’t allowed to go into the realms of the dead?- Said Kevin puzzled- Then am I dead?-
-No, your time has yet to come. Your body as it is now cant hold your soul, they are doing their best to bring you back. You are a valuable asset to them and they wont let you go easily.- Said the voice sounding closer now to him
-Who are “them”?-
-You shall know once you are brought back.-
-How do you know all this?- Most of those who have been touched by the devil become devils unless they undergo periodical “purifications”. Us chasers have to undergo such a procedure once every week. It’s a pain, quite literally, but it is the only way we have found to stop the curse from taking over. Face it kiddo you have no other choice now its either to hunt or to be hunted because unless you're purified every week you'll turn into the devil’s avatar and then… we will have to kill you as well-
This last revelation shocked Kevin but it seemed logical that if he were to become the Devil’s Avatar he would be given chase and must likely death.
Phase 3
Kevin was feeling pretty tired, it had been a week since he moved into the CHASE headquarters. Still in his sleeping quarters he was laying in bed. On the desk he saw a sheet of paper emblazoned with the CHASE logo: a dark phantom being pierced by a sword of light. On a closer inspection the following could be read underneath: Company of Hope, Aiming for Seclusion of Externals.
-Externals? Must be another name for the demons- He thought as he read on the memo that was actually the paper he had been so closely inspecting. “You are required at the armament room head there for further instruction.”
Kevin rushed all the way down to the elevator that took him three stories underground into the third basement. In there he soon saw the large steel door with red lettering. As well as Lamina who seemed to have been waiting for him for quite a long time.
-It was about time you showed up. You’ re not mister punctuality are you? Enough of that let me give you your access card and password.-
Kevin saw that his password was…
-Tuna fish? Why is my password tuna fish?-
-Because I love it. I’m in charge of showing you around so I got to set your password you can change it later. That card and password gives you access to all of CHASE HQ.- After typing “Tuna Fish” on the Keyboard the door split open and inside encased in glass displays where the many weapons designed for the Chasers among them there were the gloves that were covered in jewels and sharp blades on the tips and a rugged sharp palm. Handing her one of the gloves with her own glove clad hand Lamina told Kevin:
-Try this for size- It looked rather different from Lamina’s glove. While hers was white with gold blades on the tip and a large blue gem in the back the one he was given was actually a dark blue with a white piece of crystal and with no blades on the tips just the rugged texture in his palm.
-This is your trainee crusher glove. We wear them for two reasons. To crush the devil cores and to handle the weapons that can slay the demons it’s a very important tool to all of us Chasers, now lets see what your weapon type is.-
The Digital devil started healing itself as if it were stitching small fragments of data started sewing and joining together to heal the huge slash that Kevin had given it, there was no choice but to do as told, he grabbed the core with his glove and tried to crush it in his hand but it was no good.
