Chapter 27 - Chapter 7: What Now

Chris: And I'm sure you can figure out the rest, my team was killed 

 I lost the dagger

 

I should have died but managed to escape 

So I found Jake and here we are.

Eddie: Damn that's a lot to take in

Chris: Yeah well I told you it was a long story

Mike: Did you get a chance to mention Judas to Michael 

Chris: Yeah, He said to approache him with caution, because it's unclear of his true intentions but, if he is willing to trun himself in, he would have a fare trial, and could have a lighter sentence 

Chris: But, after everything that's been going on I could care less about what happens to him

Eddie: Damn, that's a little harsh 

Chris: I think it's well deserved 

The way I see it, he could have prevented all of this 

He had his chance 

Isaac: Wait, How the hell was Eric able to take your powers

Chris: Jake you want to take this one

Jake: Yeah, so back when we were in heaven God taught us a few abilities while we were training for the Cronus mission.

One was portal making 

Another was the Creator's curse technique

And the last, was how to share our abilities with one another 

What you do to share your abilities is you take each other's forearm, making sure you're covering each other's roman number

Than the powers can be transferred like that

Whoever's arm is over the other the powers get transferred to them.

Chris: Yep and I gotta tell you, it hurts like hell but it comes in handy 

Your abilities kind of have a scent to them that anyone with powers can sense

So that's how we were able to find you at the fair but also how the Shadow demons were able to as well.

Isaac: Shadow demons?

Chris: Yes the name of the creatures you saw today, are called shadow demon's. 

Chris: Sam can you do the whole, hologram thing again.

Sam: Yeah sure

Sam projected the Creatures while Chris explained the characteristics of each one

Chris: You need to know that you can not kill any of these things with out any spiritual energy so if you're too tired to use any or in my case you get your powers taken it's best to run and hide because nothing else will kill these things.

These are called Thorns they have three transformations that we call stages, but the other levels can be avoided if you do things right the first time

This is a stage one, they might be one of they easiest things to kill but don't get cocky you can do any attack you want and it will slow them down but you need to make sure you disintegrate every single fragment of this creatures remains because if you don't then comes stage two

The fragment you left untouched from the stage one will grow and mutate into a stage two 

It can now rapidly regenerate and it's movements are faster and more unpredictable, the only way to kill it is to take out it's head and heart

I can not stress this enough please be one hundred percent sure that you took out both of these

Because if you don't it will still be alive and it will go into self destruct mode and start searching for water 

This might seem harmless but I assure you that, that thing reaching water is the last thing you want it to do

If you forget, and manage to let it escape, chase it down and take out the remaining organ

 If you don't and it gets the chance to reach water then stage three the strongest and the most powerful shadow demon of them all, will be created

And there is almost no stopping this thing

Like the stage two you kill it the same way by taking out it's heart and brain, but with a stage three you need to take them out at the same time

Which is nearly impossible with out at least two people 

All three have different body forms, and different levels of power but they all have the same main ability which is shooting toxic shards of wood out of there hands

If one of these shards of wood was to puncture your skin it will release a toxic poison into your blood stream and put you in a comatose like state 

You won't be able to wake up until the poison where's off

Which varies depending on which stage shot you 

Stage One 30mins to an hour

Stage Two 2 to 3hrs

Last but not least stage Three 5 to 8hrs

Isaac: Damn

Chris: Yeah so avoid gettin stuck

These are called screechers they can fly, have claws that can cut through anything, no eyes but a heightened sense of hearing 

Oh and as you saw at the fair they can also teleport too

 It's main ability is somthing we like to call: The Lullaby

 

After your put in the coma like state by the Thorns or even if you're just sleeping these demons can whisper what ever command they want into your ear and you will have no choice but to do what it says unless someone can break you out of the hypnosis

You can kill it using concentrated light on it, and of course lighting it on fire would work as well

And last but not least hell hounds 

Wolf like creatures but on fire

What ever body part this thing bites will be paralyzed and it will stay that way until you kill the one that bit you

To kill it you will first need to extinguish the flame surrounding the beast.

The easiest way to do that is with liquid, obviously nothing flammable 

You can also extinguish the flame by knocking it unconscious 

Then take out it's head

And that's all the Shadow demons

Eddie: Ok so what's the plan how do we stop Lucifer and his undead army

Mike: Yeah, with him being that powerful How do we do that with out the dagger

I mean, you said it your self the daggers gone, with out it how do we take him down.

Jake: We're not too sure yet 

Chris: I think I might have an Idea

Jake: What? 

Chris: The Expansion

Jake: THE MENTAL EXPANSION

 ARE YOU CRAZY

YOU ARE IN NO CONDITION TO GO IN THERE AND YOU KNOW THERE'S NO WAY TO PULL YOU OUT!

Chris: Actually I wasn't thinking about me going in

Chris looked at us

Jake: THEM, ABSOLUTELY NOT

Jake walked off

Chris followed him

Chris: Come on Jake we're running out of options here

Jake: CHRIS, THERE JUST KIDS 

Chris: I know but, you wasn't there when they had my back

They could have ran off and left me for dead but they didn't, they chose to stay and help

Jake these kids have potential

I believe in them

 I think they can do it 

Besides it's the fastest way for them to unlock there true power.

Jake: YES, BUT WE CAN'T HELP THEM IN THEIR, IF THEY NEED US WE CAN'T SAVE THEM

Chris: I know but with out that dagger this might be our only shot in taking down Lucifer.

Jake: I SAY NO, but

I guess we can let them make there own decision.

Chris: Right

Chris: Ok well, we didn't want it to come to this but it's up to you guys if you want to go into the Mental expansion

Jake: Yes, you've heard our experiences with it so you understand that once you go in it's up to you and you alone to kill your demon

Once you go in we can't take you out

 you can either go in and have a 50 50 chance of coming back

Or you stay here and We'll find another solution

Chris: But realistically how much time we have on finding that solution is based on Lucifer's patience 

If he starts to feel like he's wasting his breath on trying to make a deal with us 

he might kill your families way sooner than we're able to prevent it from happening.

Both of these choices are equally risky 

But just know what ever decision you make, you will have your friends to help and motivate you all the way

We looked at each other, we smiled and nodded 

Eddie: I guess where going in

Jake: Are you sure

Eddie: Not at all, but we're gonna do it anyway 

Chris: Ok it's settled then

Chris: Now don't worry before you guys go In where gonna teach you as much as we can for the next Three days

Where short on time so where gonna have to push you past your limits but we'll take it one day at a time

Chris: Get some sleep, we train at sun rise.

Jake: Up almost forgot I need to Lock up your powers

Eddie: Lock our powers?

Chris: Oh yeah Right,

Isaac: But why?

Jake: Well, You see you guys haven't properly experienced your powers yet therefore controlling it isn't a part of your skill set yet

Chris: which means your powers can still be activated in your sleep with out you even knowing

J: Ohhh

Jake: Yeah so containment is necessary 

Michael: Understandable

Jake Went to each of us and activated the containment

He put his hand over our numbers then spoke

Jake: Containment

A chained X appeared over our tattoos 

Isaac's panther

J's Lion 

Michael's Dragon

But For some reason My x was incomplete having only one chain over my yin yang wolf tattoo 

Isaac: Ok You gotta teach me that

Jake: Sorry only angels can have this ability

Eddie: Sounds about right 

Chris: Alright now get some rest 

We got a lot to do tomorrow
