Chapter 16 - False Chaotic Demons!

As the now 6 onlookers watched the end of the battle, as the Adrenaline Junkie was shot out of the sky, Vampire only smiled in satisfaction. He looked over at S, and laughed.

"Don't feel bad for him. He was evil, and he's not even dead, but when he wakes up, he'll wish he was."

Vampire then thought to himself, the Adrenaline Junkie, while teaming up with S, actually managed to cut off one of his arms. If he didn't have the Energy Psycho's energy, he would certainly have died in battle.

He was very lucky to have borrowed a small fraction of her energy. He really didn't expect them to be that powerful.

But the Guerillas? They were weak.

He was surprised to find that they somehow followed him all the way to New America in an 8 hour period. He used most of the Energy Psycho's energy to get to New America, and the rest of the energy to fight against the Adrenaline Junkie and his sidekick.

While he was thinking, S looked at the Adrenaline Junkie's unconscious body, and screamed, instantly ready to fight!

But the Guerilla's got in front of her, each giving powerful attacks. In shock, S could only have 1 thought before being completely knocked unconscious by their powerful blows!

She thought, "They all have the same power? How is this possible?"

As she tried to morph into something big and strong, she realized that she had no more energy. It costed her precious stamina to shapeshift, and she was already being pelted by attacks.

In only 1 combined attack, the Guerilla's ripped through her entire body, and she fell to the ground, flying at enormous speeds.

She was defeated!

Next, the Guerilla's all turned to Vampire, and said only 1 word, all in unison.

"Die."

The Vampire looked on in shock. Did they keep a grudge? Were they really trying to kill him? With their weak powers. Even without an arm, he'd destroy them!

He threw thousands of Vampire Bats at them, all of which were stabbing their most vital areas, but something strange happened.

The masked guerilla's, who seemed incredibly weak in their first fight, were now extremely strong! Their fists shredded through the Vampire Bats at an absurd speed, that it almost seemed uncanny.

Their attacks shredded through every defense Vampire had!

He had no ability to fly anymore, but that didn't stop him! He flew on waves of vampire bats, barely dodging the attacks.

One of the Guerilla's jumped up, and said in excitement, "This attack can kill a giant."

He let out a huge kick that completely toppled a mountain from behind Vampire. The mountain toppled in a giant avalanche of rock and stone, threatening to kill all of Vampire's bats, and kill him for good.

He rushed at blinding speed, barely dodging many boulders hurdling from the top of the destroyed mountain!

Vampire was not only afraid for his life at that moment, but noticed something flying in the air.

"His leg!?" He screamed in horror!!!

The Guerilla kicked so hard that his leg was ripped from his body!!

These guys were self-harming themselves just to kill him. It was at that moment that fear struck him like a lightning bolt, frying his mind.

Were these truly the Guerilla's he fought earlier?

They clearly outsmarted him! They pretended to lose in battle to him so that they could follow him to wherever he was going, but why? What purpose would they have to follow him instead of just killing him outright at the castle.

They might have been afraid of the Energy Psycho, but seeing them completely destroy their bodies without fear of death made Vampire realize that they didn't fear anything!! They were like perfect soldiers, with no free will of their own! They only existed to kill!!

Then, it struck him! The Red Thread of Fate!! The Guerilla King probably sent these 5 for a reason.

The Guerilla's, all looking around saw the Red Thread of Fate. It was a long string that connected to everyone in the world. Everyone was destined to have a soulmate, but not only that. These Guerilla's could see the Red Thread of Fate! They could defy fate, and change the world!!!

Just how many people could see the Red Thread of Fate? Vampire only knew 1. The Energy Psycho. He couldn't believe that there were other people who could see the Red Thread of Fate!

Not only that, but the Guerilla King must have been spying on the Energy Psycho and Vampire for a long time! They must have somehow altered the forcefield! That's how they were able to follow him! The Guerilla King must have wanted the Red Thread of Fate for himself!

As another Guerilla let out an immense punch, his entire arm broke and splintered, being cracked in half, it nearly broke the sound barrier, as Vampire set up a wall of bats to block it!

Unfortunately, the giant wall of bats were completely disintegrated instantly, completely getting ripped apart from the attack!

He could only barely dodge, as the wind pressure from the attack not only knocked the wind out of him, but completely bursted his ear wide open.

He looked at the Guerilla's arm, completely broken in half, purple, and bleeding heavily from the inside. Oddly enough, there was only a trickle of blood from the outside of his arm. As the rest of the Guerilla's all team up against him, one of the Guerilla's burst forth with immense speed, ready to deal his final attack.

As soon as the attack landed, the Guerilla literally exploded from the blowback, and his attack imploded on him. At first, it looked like he was having a heart attack, but then, it became clear that he was puffing up like a balloon!

Then, at the last moment, the Guerilla died in a giant explosion of flesh, blood and bone, completely blasting through the air, making a giant boom!

Vampire could only watch in horror, as he desperately tried running away! All of his bats were dead, and he was at death's door! There was no option but to run. In his last moments, he thought to himself. He thought about the Energy Psycho, about their childhood, where, in the War Torn Nation, he was a nobody. Then, he met the Energy Psycho, a radiant girl who had energy to spare. She became his first, and only friend. Everyone else thought he was a freak for playing with Vampire Bats, but she... she thought it was cool. She really did love him.

In his last breath, he could only scream in pain. "You're just a couple of false Chaotic Demons!! How could you!!!"

He screamed it in desperation, not even believing it any more. These people, even with a temporary power, were more real Chaotic Demons than anyone else.

As the Guerilla's slowly ascended from below him, they crushed him to death, completely incinerating his body in the impact, crushed into a pile of human flesh and sinue. At that very moment, his last thought was only about how he'd never get to-

And suddenly, as he finally died, 2 mysterious voices came out of the woodwork.

"Hey, S? These fucking people don't seem to understand, do they?"

A boy's voice resonated from behind Vampire & the Guerilla's. Then, another distinctly female voice started talking as well.

"Yeah, its almost as if they don't know who the fuck they're dealing with!"

As the 2 Chaotic Demons started laughing and cackling as if it was funny, they smiled with ferocious grins.

The Guerilla's instantly stopped, sensing their immense bloodlust.

They instantly noticed that these 2 people were their biggest enemies!

It was the Adrenaline Junkie & the Shapeshifter!

It was as if they rose from the dead. The shapeshifter, especially. Before she died, her body was nearly destroyed. But she was able to easily transform back into her normal self using her shapeshifting!

One of the Guerilla's shouted in anger. "Kill them, now!" But it was too late.

Smiling, The Adrenaline Junkie said, "Now that you guys finally got rid of the guy that likes to fuck bats away. You were too focused on him to realize that we woke up a long time ago! Besides, you didn't think you could stop me with those slow movements, did you?"

He looked around, smiling even brighter. "That creepy lady was right. I can see it. It's only a glint, but its surrounding all of us!"

At that moment, fear rolled down the back of every Guerilla there. He could see it, too? How was that possible. Out of the 5 Guerilla's, only 3 of them could see the Red Thread of Fate. Now that one of them were dead, now only 2 of them could see the Red Thread of Fate!

As the Guerilla's desperately tried to fight back, they realized it!

They were too injured to fight!

They'd been so reckless, tearing off their limbs & destroying their own bodies just to beat Vampire, that they now had no easy way to beat these 2 horrific figures in front of them. If they had been at full strength, it never would have been a contest! Those 2 Chaotic Demons would have died!

Those 4 Guerilla's all decided at that moment! They were going to die, so why not blow the entire forest along with them away!

One by one, each of the Guerilla's started exploding in blasts of loose skin and body parts.

At first, there were 4.

Then 3.

Then 2.

Now, 1.

The last Guerilla was far too afraid to die, so the Shapeshifter turned into a giant cannon, and blasted him all across the forest, tearing apart even the sky!

As he reeled from the attack, bleeding all over, both the Adrenaline Junkie & S descended upon him, pelting him with questions.

The Adrenaline Junkie asked him. "So, what got this party started? Why do you all have the same power?"

In response, the Guerilla only laughed in anger.

"You... you really don't know, do you?" He asked in laughter.

The Guerilla once again started to speak.

"You think you guys are the real threats? You got lucky."

As blood slowly seeped down his body, he continued to mock us.

"We live in a War-Torn Country, far, far away. The 4 Gods are all battling to see who can fully control and command the Red Thread of Fate! Don't you see, kids? You may have powers, but compared to our land of war, it's nothing! The slums of America, where you kids had to steal, fight, kill, and survive in is nothing in comparison to the War Torn Country."

His laugh grew from a small chuckle to a full on cackle, revealing the insanity in his eyes. "We were born soldiers, bred to kill! Every child, upon birth in our nation, must be trained to become the ultimate killing machine. Constant death and destruction awaits, and it's all caused by 1 woman! One of the 4 Gods of our Nation!

THE ENERGY PSYCHO!!!"

As he said that, S looked over in disgust, instantly showcasing a deep, deep rage. As he continued to speak, she only got angrier.

"She's the one who caused this war. We were just trying to protect the Red Thread of Fate. The 5 of us could see it, and we knew it was a godlike creation that we shouldn't have messed with, but she... she wanted to become God! She viewed herself as being above everyone who wasn't a Chaotic Demon or Celestial Angel, and she started the greatest war this world has ever known just to obtain true control over it! She's the real reason that children can't rest in our country! Once you go there, to the War Torn Country, you will face a hell you've never faced before, and the slums of New America will look like a paradise in comparison to what you see!!"

He shouted all of that in anger, before instantly exploding into a million pieces, much like the other ones.

"False Chaotic Demons? What does that mean? This doesn't really answer any of our questions as to why that vampire bat guy was being attacked, and we still don't know what kinda powers these guys have." The shapeshifter said, confused.

In response, the Adrenaline Junkie turned to her, smiling, and said, "We gotta save these people! They need help!"

She looked at him, and could instantly tell he was lying.

"You're just saying that as an excuse to go there. You heard how exciting it was from that guy, and now you want nothing more than to risk your life over there, don't you?" She said, hitting the nail on the coffin.

He laughed, snorting. "Hey, you aren't exactly pure good yourself. I mean, you hid the fact that you were a Chaotic Demon from me." He said, questioning her motives.

She looked at him for a few seconds, and then looked away, before saying, "Look... I didn't want you to freak out. Everyone sees my powers & they think i'm a freak. You're the only one who accepted who I am."

As she said that, she thought back to earlier times, being treated like garbage because she was a freak. This led her down the path to killing many people until she was excommunicated from society as a whole. She only recently found a town that accepted her, but in exchange, their ways rubbed off on her, and she became a Cannibal. It was only in the past week that she saw countless people die.

The first time she saw someone die, killed by the mysterious teleporting man, it was a shock to her, but by now, she's seen 5 people die, not counting her entire village, who were all slaughtered in front of her.

She thought back to her friends in the village, who all loved & cared for her, and how they were brutally murdered, and then thought to her benefactor, the woman most worthy of love in the world. In a lot of ways, the Adrenaline Junkie reminded her of her master. She wanted to do nothing more than please him.

"Look, im not gonna question you any more, but don't keep secrets from me." He said.

"No matter what happens, we're friends to the end. I know you care about me, and I care about you, too. In my first life, I never had a kid, but now. Now, it seems like you're my daughter." He said, laughing.

This put her mind at ease. She now knew that he trusted & accepted her for who she was, and no longer had to put up a face.

"So let's go, to the War-Torn Country!" He said with a smile.

S really was happy to be around someone like him. And as she turned around...

A large knife impaled her stomach!

The Adrenaline Junkie had betrayed her!!
