A Story By: Jordan Parsons




Have you ever wanted to go to sleep just to dream, work you day to day lives with hope and longing for sleep and pleasant dreams. Well I envy you. I used to have great dreams. Dreams I wished would come true. I myself HATE to sleep because when I close my eyes, the shroud of night brings nightmare that seem so real. I take so many pills and drink so much caffeine I’m surprised I’m not sick or worse dead, hell with the things I dream, I’d welcome Death.
I sleep about an hour or two a day. It’s been this way for several months.
I hate my dreams now because they are nothing but nightmares.
My nightmares are especially terrifying, because all of them come true.
My latest one was nothing like the usual ones. Every dream I have had so far are just about natural disasters and wars and death of important people. The dreams I have usually happen that day, which is completely Bullshit because I am powerless to stop them.
Well anyway this dream I’m talking about now, is like hell itself opened to destroy humanity.
The things I saw would drive you mad. Beasts taller than skyscrapers. With powers beyond comprehension. The biggest thing that confused me about this dream is that I fought these Demons these damn hell beasts. Which is ridiculous because their powers are beyond anything, how I a mere human could dare resist them? But I somehow had powers as well, powers that would grow with each demon I destroyed; I somehow took their energy in a purified form so it would not make me evil like them. I woke up and thought to myself how impossible this would be, and the earth started to shake. And my dream turned reality once again. My skin start to feel as if I was on fire, but the fire was not burning me it felt as if it were making me strong. The flames were a light blue color with Black and Red streaks and accents. The black and red started to form into something. The blue fire was gone now. The reddish black mist attached itself to my body and began to harden like some type of armor. Then soaked into my skin, it became part of me. Even with all of this going on I was completely calm. I knew what my mission was. Escort the demon fucks back where they belong. And images flashed in my head of people who would be helping in this effort. The first one was a male with silver hair a red trench coat and massive sword and two guns. Then two women flashed into my mind. One blonde and tall wearing very revealing clothing, when I saw her, my skin tingled as if I was being shocked. The other female had black short hair she was very good with guns. A few others popped into my head, but those three seemed to stick out the most. Next I felt something it was pulling me a certain direction like it was trying to lead me somewhere. I was lead into my father’s old room, as I entered I heard something breaking apart, the wall was shifting, as secret room was revealed. It was a room full of old artifacts crystals and the back wall was covered in weapons. A special tile in the floor opened and rose to reveal a big sword. Then a projector turned on.
“Son I am sorry I am not there to explain to you what is happening so this video will have to”
“Our family has been chosen to protect the world when something like this happens. You will be imbued with the power of your true parents, in order to protect humanity”. “I realize this is a big responsibility but this is who you are now” I have faith and know you will do well”. Each monster you kill will strengthen you. Be smart my son, kill lesser demons first to build your strength, do not go straight for the big ones, for you would be killed, If you die humanities redeemer will be lost and all will die.” “These powers are yours forever and always take care and be smart” those people that flashed into your mind will help you with this important mission you are the key the only one who can end the predicament they can only help. But you must not seek them out they will come to you. Don’t let people see you too many questions will be asked. When this is over, join the silver haired man. You will understand what I mean later on. He will be your greatest ally. He is just like you. You are a son of a demon-goddess and a human mating, your mother and I decided it would be best if a spell was put on you to keep you human until the day your powers would be needed. I’m sorry I could not tell you this while I was alive”
“With love Dad” I somehow knew I was different from the rest of the kids I knew back in school, but had no clue I was this different. No wonder I never knew my mom, dad always said she died giving birth. Well I guess it’s time to get to work, putting hell back in order. But how will I know what class a demon is in, it’s not like I have a damn manual. I guess I just wing it and if I know I can destroy it I will if I can’t I just run like all hell. Great choice of words (stands there laughing for a minute). What was that sound. I picked up the two guns, the looked like a pumped up more bad ass version of the desert eagle. And I put the sword on my back. And rushed to find out what made that loud shrieking sound. I ran for a minute and found it this beast was the size of an average human but its loud shrieking was a very powerful weapon it blew away cars. I studied it for a moment, and I knew my first fight was about to begin. Hey you big bag of air. Stop that. Ha ha ha what are you going to do puny mortal he asked while destroying a building. I will destroy you. Btw way the names Shadow. With that he aims his big mouth at me.
Oh shit oh shit if that hits me I will surely die. He launched the giant air bullet straight at me. I’ve already fucked up it’s already over. I closed my eyes and waited for my untimely death. It hit and I felt nothing I thought for sure I was dead. The creature then exclaimed impossible. Then I knew I was alive, but how was it possible I opened my eyes and what I saw next was awesome. That black armor came out to protect me it was harder than diamonds and with it around me I felt even stronger. Sweet this is cool with that I took out the guns I had. And I saw something very strange, when the creature saw the guns he was terrified, he knew of these weapons, and of the prophecy. He thought it was a lie to keep lesser demons in line. But he knew the truth now. This fucker knew more about me than I did. I asked him why he was terrified. He replied, you’re the son of the Demonic-goddess Omega. I’m sorry please let me go. I can’t do that I need your energy because something tells me not every demon is gonna be afraid of me. Tricelion said “and here I thought Dante would be the only problem”. The demon said. I then pumped him full of holes, his flesh start on fire and then became a mist, the mist attached to my armor; I felt stronger and knew what the demon knew. This is amazing. Incredible, I had no clue I could do this.
My armor and weapons disappeared; it merged in to the mist. It seems like the weapons and armor shows itself when I need them. I heard a crash and loud roar. I slowly approached the place the noise came from because I wanted to see the creature before I attempt to fight it. I learned that from the last battle, don’t rush. If the first demon was a more powerful demon I could have been destroyed. I gotta play this smart from now on. Because I’m new to this whole demon killing business and know nothing of the powers the beasts can possess or more importantly understand my own. I then saw it was about 50 feet tall and knew I could not defeat it just yet so I slowly retreated... I saw another demon while on my retreat. It could shoot lightning from its hands. I gotta take this very carefully because I don’t know if the armor can take such an attack it is metal after all. He spotted me and challenged me. Because he saw me defeat the other demon. “I’ve been wanting a good fight these mortal are much too easy to kill. I will tell you this boy I am a lot stronger than Jezzereth the lesser demon you just fought, you’re moves are sloppy, you have not been doing this long have you? The demon asked. Nope just started this job today and I’ve already been paid. Well then I guess I have no choice. Let’s fight then. I said, while I had no clue how to deal with this thing, the only thing I did know was I had to avoid the lightning attacks. The armor once again formed to protect me; it looked different this time, like it also to traits from the first demon I killed. There were chamber looking things on my wrists now. And the armor had shoulder spikes added. The fight now began. He launched his lightning attacks at me. And my weapons fell off me. Oh shit I’m fucked now. “Ha ha you’re mine a warrior with no weapons is useless against me”. I landed. “You are not even worth my time. NOW YOU DIE!!!” I then did something I had no clue I could do, I launched air bullets out of the holes that formed on my armor. It was shooting like a minigun; I put two and two together and realized that when I killed a demon I also take his abilities not just his traits. This demon was badly hurt but not dead yet. He began forming a lighting ball this time but it was black, it looked like pure negative energy. I rushed and picked up my weapons and drew my sword and attempted to slash the demon down the middle. I did, luckily; just like the last one it turned into mist and once again gave me strength. I know this lightning attack will come in handy, later.

I than heard more gun fire and fighting in other area, I was going to investigate, but I remembered I was not to seek out three I saw in the vision. I knew it was them because who else would be dumb enough to pick a fight with these things. I moved into a courtyard and another demon appeared it was fucking huge I didn’t know if I could handle him, but now I had no choice. The armor formed again getting battle ready. It now had a formed long spike things on my wrists. And the armor had change color a slight red ting was added to it, as if it now knew demon essence. The armor was a little bit thicker but oddly did not hinder movement that much, it was like the armor adapted to the situation. The ultimate defense, or so I thought. This demon was massive and had the ability to shoot big needles out of his hands and spit Acid from its mouth. I obviously knew to dodge the acid that’s what worried me most. I was rushing this guy because he was so big I thought he would be slow. I was so wrong, he used his tail and hit me I flew into a building, and it dented my armor, if my armor hadn’t thickened before this battle that tail would have cut me in half. The demon started to unleash a barrage of needles at me. I have already underestimated this demon I have to try and avoid all of his attack because I think each one will be considerably more dangerous than the last. The tail messed me up the needles would most likely penetrate my armor, what happened next verified that hypothesis. A needle struck my chest and went through the other side. I coughed up blood. I then lost myself in a rage. A red aura began to form around me. I felt power beyond anything I thought possible. “what the hell is going on” what is this power” the mysterious man said.
I was pissed I went to attack the demon, I gave it one hell of a punch it flew back twenty feet, I then did something even more extraordinary. Then next attack merged qualities from the air bullet attack with the lightning attack, to make a new kind of technique, I launched it at the beast it exploded and the beast was destroyed instantly. The mist fused with me again. I fell to the ground passed out. I awoke in a building, “he’s waking up”. “What the hell happened where am I?” I asked as I sat up and looked around the room. “Who the fuck are you” asked the silver-haired man.
“Give me your name first you rescued me if you thought I was a threat you would have killed me.” “It was a Gamble but fair enough, the names Dante.”
“The names Shadow” and don’t worry I am not evil hell I’m not even demon.”
“What’s you real name” Dante asked.
“Tricelion” I replied.
“Can I call you Tri for short and by the way how the hell do you have these powers then?” Dante asked
I am a halfie and I am putting the demons back where they belong, and sure Tri, is fine” I replied.
“You expect me to believe that.” Dante said
“If you weren’t a demon you would be killed, you have no weapons.”
“Yeah I do I’ll show you” I said while focusing trying to bring my armor and weapons voluntarily. After a minute my armor and weapons appeared.
“I didn’t think the sleeper would awaken this quickly” but good thing you did, because this time I might have had my work cut out for me.” Dante said.
“Let’s spar and see what you can do, I don’t think you can beat me.”
“I might just surprise you alright let’s make a wager loser buys food when things calm down”.
“I think we’re gonna get along just fine kid, sure you on”.
“Swords first?” no the real test would be unarmed combat, I’ll let you use any trick you want”
I’ll even let you make the first move”
“NO I want to be at even odds I will not take first move, I want to fight like were fighting for our lives” I replied.
“Are you sure” Dante Asked
“Dante I wouldn’t want it any other way”
“Sure. No special treatment the kiddy gloves are off”
“Since you don’t have armor let me change something on me, I don’t want an unfair advantage”
With that the armor transformed in to a black trench coat. Fingerless gloves formed, and combat style boots. “I think this will be good”. I like you more and more kid
“No more talking eh.”
“You ready alright let’s go” Dante replied. With that the battle began.
We both stood for a minute sizing each other up. We both must have come up with a strategy at the same time because we both rushed each other at the same time as well. Trish stopped for a minute. She had to see this. Dante struck first. His punch hit my stomach and then I followed up with a face shot. He came back in with another punch an uppercut actually; I knew if I connected it would hurt. I did a back flip. And launched an air bullet. It hit the ground creating a small crater. “Shit I didn’t expect this”. Dante thought.
“He’s pretty good, Dante might actually get a workout” said Trish quietly.
“You have no Idea Trish that is you name right” Tri said.
“How did you hear me?” Trish asked
“I have no idea” Tri replied.
Dante almost hit me again I sidestepped and swung my arm and hit Dante he flew back five feet, and recovered quickly. This guy is good I might have to use my full strength, this is exhilarating, I can’t remember the last time I had such a challenge, Dante thought to himself. He ran around and I realized he got a lot faster, and also realized he was now serious he was fighting at full strength. This should be good. Tri thought to himself. I guess I can let loose too. Alright enough games we both said at the same time. He charged me. I thought of a great idea, I shot a barrage of needles at him and then shot a lightning bolt at him while he was distracted by the needles. I turned the power up on the lightning, because I wanted him to feel it a little, I knew it would hurt him, but he would feel the pain then the numbness that follow shortly after. Trish saw it and was very intrigued.
He fell for a second and said “you win this one, but how are you with a sword?”
“Let’s find out” I said.
“Double or nothing?” asked Dante
“You gamble a lot don’t you? Sure alright deal”
He drew his sword and I summoned mine. The swords clashed. He cut my shirt under my jacket. I cut his pants. I would have cut your leg off” I said. “I would have killed you.” said Dante.
True you win this round, damn it now I have to buy my own meal. “Kid you did really well, after things calm down I’ll treat you to a meal”
“Thanks” I replied well it looks like we have other business to attend to anyway right now, but I’ll make sure you remember you said that.”
This next demon was 100 feet tall and at that moment we knew we would need to work together to take this beast down. Dante shot at it, the bullets deflected. I summoned my armor. It was a lot different this time; two guns were formed on my shoulders. The air bullets were mixed with the needles and made a hypersonic needle launcher with a slightly shocking ability. I shot it at the beast it penetrated the beast but only seemed to make it very angry. It hit Dante he was knocked out. “Trish Get him out of here” Tri demanded. You’ll need my help if you want to defeat this thing.” I’ll be alright we can’t lose Dante he’s the next best thing to me if we both die it would be the end.” “Okay” Trish replied. Trish took Dante up on the roof.
I knew I couldn’t defeat this demon alone, but I knew I had to do my best. My armor thickened again and another layer formed to it was a soft and outer layer formed over it, harder than my armor had ever been before. This beast was a fucking fortress.it had the pods it would shoot out, that would shoot out poison tipped darts, they would probably only put me to sleep but against an opponent like this that would be very bad. Then the bottom of the beast opened up and released multiple lesser demons. Oh great this is fucking awesome more to deal with. Each demon had control of an element. The big beast had some kind of plasma energy it was like lava but much more dangerous. If I take out the lesser demons I would get their powers, but would it be enough to destroy papa bear. Defiantly not but the powers could prove useful later, so that will be my first order of business. So I struck them down quickly this angered the big one. It grew even bigger than it was before two or three times bigger, I knew now I had no chance not even a slim one.
It hit me I flew to the ground at over 200mph my body hit the ground and I now laid in a 50 foot crater. A perfect place for a grave I suppose. All I could do was lay and wait for death. Every bone in my body broken, it was strange that I was still even alive. The monstrous behemoth edged towards me to avenge his children’s deaths. I then heard a loud crash the earth was cracking apart. Something was going on and I couldn’t see anything. It was horrifying. Then I heard something that eased my tension and made me relax and feel safe. “Stop it right now!!!!” “Why do I know that voice?” The behemoth turned around and was afraid but had to fight to survive. The mysterious lady fought the beast and almost killed it instantly. The behemoth knew he had to try and get to me. He thought threating me could stop the assault from the new lady in town. He was wrong. “Leave My Son Alone!!!!!” the woman exclaimed “My mother is here”. I struggled to try and get up. I could move a little now but it was nowhere near enough to get up. Then a pitch black powerful blast destroyed the behemoth. And for some reason the mist came to me even though I didn’t defeat it. I got up and met my mother for the first time in my life. She was very big she had a human top half and snake bottom half, she was a very dark color but not quite black and on various parts of her body she had small crystals the most noticeable one was on her forehead although she had many more. She had swords, Scythes, Chain swords, ball and chains, and what appeared to be huge fucking Gatling guns. She also had very big wings. She was terrifying but she was my mother so I didn’t really care, I was just so happy to see her. She noticed I was a little afraid and she said “hello little one, hello my son, How you’ve grown, I won’t hurt you, come here give you great big Marilith mother a hug”. I ran to her while crying, I swear it felt like slow motion I was so excited to feel my mother’s warm, tight loving embrace for the first time, I was so anxious and longing the few seconds to get to her felt like lifetimes. The hug felt like what I would imagine heaven would feel like, supreme all-consuming bliss, for a moment I forgot what was happing in the world, I felt perfect happiness. Dante awoke and started to try and attack the demon that had me, with all the weapons and firepower how could I blame him, she looked like a demoness of death and destruction. I soon found out that she was. She was the goddess Omega the goddess of death and destruction.
