Chapter 16 - Fire vs Ice

Nade was even more confused than Sarah: 'How can you be here? The crimson moon just appeared recently!' Kale licked his fingers clean of blood. Then he closed the box that was on the table with a wide grin before giving his answer: 'I've been on earth before the moon turned crims'–'That can't be!', Nade intervened. (Sarah: What is going on right now?) Nade scanned Kale's body, searching for something unusual. Kale's black suit was everything but extraordinary, but then Nade saw it, there was a red glowing bracelet around Kale's arm. When Kale followed Nade's eyes he chuckled and rose the arm with the bracelet. 'I think you know what that is, right? But more important, to think I would find an Immune One so early. What a lucky day!' Sarah was still confused, damn confused but there was one thing she had understood: 'Nade didn't you tell me Immune One can use the full power of a demon? So, you can take that bastard on, right? While Nade was hesitant to give his answer, Kale burst into laughter. To not fall he used the table's edge and leaned forward. 'So that's what you told her? Well, President Sarah he is not really wrong for saying that. An Immune One is a person who was possessed by a demon or angel and kind of functions like a vessel. Yes, he can use the power of a demon for example, but if he want access to the full power of a demon, there are two ways. He can just force it and gain the demon's full power, but he will have to pay with his life or he can form a contract with the demon. But, hahahahaha, I think I know which demon possessed him and I doubt, no, I know that demon won't help him as long he does not offer his body, his soul, hhhahaha! That's why', he vanished and suddenly reappeared above the head of Sarah, 'you will die here!' He swung his leg down. In time Nade shoved Sarah aside and crossed his arm above his head–baaaaammm. The ground underneath Nade cracked. He grabbed Kale's legs, turned around and swung his arm over his head, slamming Kale to the ground: 'Sarah, get that box. I fear I know what is in there!' Sarah dashed to the box, just then she felt an immense cold behind her. The cold was coming from Nade. The arm which was holding Kale's leg gradually covered with ice that moved towards Kale. Just when Sarah had reached the box Kale went up in flames. Nade jumped back, getting ready when Sarah called after him: 'Nade, it's locked. I need time!' Nade grinned. A sweat drop rolled down his face and froze, then shattered. 'Then I will give you that time, Sarah!' He pounced on Kale, freezing his right arm. Kale engulfed his left arm in flames and stormed forward. They each launched their arm forward and when the arms collided, a wall of ice and flame emerged clashing. The ice was overpowering the flames, steadily freezing them. Sarah had cracked the code. However, as fast as her smile had formed it vanished when she saw the countdown. 'FUCK!', she yelled, attiring Nade's attention. 'What is Sarah!' 'It's a countdown for the nuclear bombs of all countries, excluding mine. He plans to destroy this world for good!' Well, there was a bigger problem at the moment. The fire was had been frozen for the most part, but suddenly the flames extinguished, making way for a sinister and wicked energy. The energy was violet and black and like mist it came out the body of Kale which was about to change. He grew bigger and bigger. His skin turned rough and kind of rotten with a mix of the colors green, brown and black. His nails grew abnormally long and his teeth turned to fangs, all black. His violet eyes were now even glowing stronger. With a swish of his arm he destroyed the ice wall completely. The energy was wicked to the point that Sarah had problems staying conscious. Her nose started bleeding, yet she fought the urge to pass out and it demanded al lot. Kale spread apart his arm and proclaimed: 'I am simply preparing this world for the queen! Hahahaha! And you', he pointed at Nade, 'I am not even surprised that I had to resort to my transformation. Even if you are in your human form you are possessed by a Celestial!!' Nade grinned, advancing. 'Then you know to what a Celestial is capable, right? You don't even have wings! So you must be a foot soldier. (Sarah: Damn what? That is a foot soldier? I wonder how high ranked a Celestial is!) kale stomped the ground, creating more cracks. With a strong and distorted voice he uttered: 'You will die today!' He clad his immense body in flames and shot at Nade.

 

 

Dae, Rayshel and the other soldiers had soon reached their destination. When Dae heard cries and grunts, not human ones, he went into a sprint. And that was good so because his soldiers had engaged in a fight against a group of ghouls. There weren't really a lot of ghouls but looking at the tired soldiers even a small group would threaten them. Mos t had already fallen to the claws of the ghouls. Some had been bitten and others had been teared apart. With no concern for his own safety Dae lunged at the ghouls. When the soldiers saw their leader, they rejoiced. (Dae: 10 seconds should be enough!) Dae started shooting his whole magazine. At least, that's how it appeared but looking closely there was a pattern. Dae shot in a way so that bullets would rebound against other bullets. That way first of all the bullets trajectory was altered and the bullets became faster. In a matter of seconds the bullets had turned so fast that they couldn't be spotted by the normal eyes anymore and each bullet had each its own target, the head of a ghoul. One bullet would normally not have been enough but with their speed one bullet easily blasted a hole in the ghoul's head. They all dropped to the ground, just when Rayshel caught up from behind with a wide grin. (Rayshel: So that's the Wargod in action! He got me excited!) The ghouls were dead, yet no smile could be seen on Dae's face.

 

Some minutes ago

Dae and the others had soon reached their destination, but when a soldier dropped to the ground everyone halted. Rayshel and Dae ran over to the soldier, inquiring: 'What happened?' The soldier rose his head and his bleeding eyes came to light. Another soldier pointed at the bleeding man. 'His eyes are bleeding, just like the eyes of this fucking monsters did. Damn it must be because he got bitten! It's like in zombie movies!' Dae quickly inspected the wound of the eyes-bleeding soldier and indeed, that soldier's shoulder had a bite mark.

 

At the presence

Dae's face dark. With a cold voice he asked into the group, reloading his gun: 'Who got bitten?'
