Chapter 13 - Chapter 3: Old Friends,New Enemies

We were now in a whole different place entirely

Man: The sewer, didn't mean to come here. 

Still need to heal, but, at least the smell will cover you guises sent 

We got up and followed

Mike: WHAT WERE THOSE THINGS BACK THERE AND WHY WERE THEY AFTER US

J: WHO ARE YOU 

Isaac: HOW DID WE DO ALL THAT

Man: HEY I NEED ALL OF YOU TO SHUT UP

Man: I'll explain everything when we get to the temple

Eddie: Temple?

Man: Yes so please, 

Shut up 

I have to make a call

Mike: Ok, well, can you at least tell us your name

The man took his hoodie off

Man: My name is Chris 

Now give me a second

Chris looked at his wrist, that had some kind of watch on it

He pushed a button and a hologram of a person appeared 

Chris: Sam, where's Jake 

Sam: On his way back

Chris: Well when you see him tell him I'm on my way 

Chris looked at us

Chris: and tell him I found 4 of them

Sam: REALLY!!, YOU FOUND SOME OF THE PROFITS

Chris: I guess so 

All: SAM 

Sam: OH SHIT, SUP GUYS

Chris: Alright that's enough

Chris hung up and the projection went away 

Isaac: WHAT!?

Chris: How do you all know Sam

Mike: Old friends from high school

Eddie: Yeah, and we all got tattoos from him last night

Chris: Well that explains a lot

Chris stopped walking then rolled up his sleeve

Chris: Any of them show up out of nowhere lookin a little somethin like this.

Chris's arm had the same scripture on it but a different symbol on his forearm.

A 1 in Roman numeral 

We looked at our arms

Same scripture but different symbols on our forearms 

Mike had a two 

Me a three

Isaac a 4 

And J a 5

All in Roman 

Chris: Yep, like that 

Chris rolled his sleeve back down

Isaac: Ok but, what does that mean

Chris: It means you guys just became something that can very well determine the end of the world as we know it.

You guys and 4 other people

Chris: And I'mma be real with you, I'm not liking our odds

Hopefully the other 4 are soldiers or something besides kids because I don't have time to baby sit 

Isaac: You don't even know us

Chris: I know you're not qualified to have those powers

Mike: We didn't ask for these

Eddie: It's not our fault

Chris: You're right it's Sam's and I already let him know that 

Chris: When we get to the Timple I'm taking those powers and facing Lucifer myself.

J: Lucifer!?, as in the THE DEVIL

Chris: Yes the Devil, this is not a game of make believe this is real life 

Those demons that you saw out there

Are real and they will do anything they have to, to bring you 4 to Lucifer

So he can take those powers for himself

He doesn't care if you have to die in the process

And it doesn't matter how many people you care about or have love for , he will kill every last one of them until he gets what he wants.

Your lives mean nothing to me with out the lord's blood running through your veins

If you have to die for me to get those powers so be it.

It's a small price to pay to save billions of others 

Chris: No more talking until we get to the Timple or I'll let the demons have you

Eddie: WAIT!, NO!!

WHAT ABOUT OUR FAMILY'S

J: SHIT YEAH

Isaac: WE GOTTA GO BACK

Chris: NO, no one is going back 

You'll get yourselfs killed 

Besides they're fine 

For now

Mike: AND HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW THAT

Chris: If they wanted to kill your family, they would have killed them at the fair.

As far as I could see they were taking them somewhere 

which means he needs them alive

Lucifer will probably use them as bait 

To get you to come willingly.

He has the upper hand so he's probably not going to kill them right away.

J: I hope you're right

Chris: I am, now shut up 

 It's going to be a minute before I'm able to make another portal so we'll just keep walking until then

Eddie: Fine.
