THOSE LEFT BEHIND

“I’m going in.”

“Stop, please, don’t go there! You won’t come back out alive. Or-Or you won’t come back out the same!”

Two heroes stood at the very edge of the royal demon realm, where the demon lord’s presence was most intensely felt.

“You’re afraid.” The male hero said.

“Of course! I fear for you!” The female hero said. “You can sense the kind of energy circling through this place. If we enter, were sure not to come back out as humans.”

He turned head to look at her. Worry was all over her face, and the way she held his arm told him that she doesn’t want to lose him.

“Then return to the Order.”

“I-I won’t!” She knew she would not see him again if he fell prey to the wicked monsters. “I will come with you.”

If they were to enter the royal demon realm, and if it was obligatory that the corruption affect him too, she would have preferred herself to be the on cuddling him, instead of some other sick creature.

“Then follow me, and don’t lose your way.” He extended his hand, in which he held a gem. She took it, but didn’t know what its role was.

“Hold on to it while were in there.”

“But, why?” She asked curiously.

“It will repel demonic energy. You won’t turn.” She nodded while he pulled out a gem for himself.

Holding it in one hand, he smashed the gem between his fingers. She wondered as to why he did that.

“Let’s go.” He had said bluntly, without even facing her.

He took the first step into the plagued land, walking solidly and firmly towards the castle in the distance. And she followed him.

<p class="MsoNormal">Every second spent in the royal demon realm was supposed to fill them with lust. Yet every ounce of lust that entered his body, only filled him with anger and rage. His fists were constantly clutched.

<p class="MsoNormal">They first walked through the gates and towns surrounding the castle. Should any missy have decided to have sexual intercourse with them, his angered gaze was enough to send a clear confirmation, that he wasn’t in the mood to be f-kin with any one.

<p class="MsoNormal">And considering the kind of energy he was filled with, regular manomo’s were immediately spooked at the sight of him.

<p class="MsoNormal">One came though, a dragon approached him.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Let’s drown in pleasure…” She said as she yanked his right arm.

<p class="MsoNormal">He bursted, grabbing her neck and holding her up high.

<p class="MsoNormal">“TOUCH ME AGAIN AND I’LL KILL YOU!” He shouted angrily, before throwing her a great distance away.

<p class="MsoNormal">The female hero too was slightly frightened, yet she somehow felt safe around him. They had reached the castle, whose gates were open and left unguarded.

<p class="MsoNormal">He increased his pace now, searching… he had arrived in a hallway. There were multiple doors on the sides and two big doors together at the end of the hallway.

<p class="MsoNormal">He began kicking them open, shouting: “Mardock!”

<p class="MsoNormal">Yet no response came as he rudely interrupted the fornicating groups of manomo’s and incubuses.

<p class="MsoNormal">He now reached the end of the hallway. Raising a leg, he busted the doors open with brute force.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Mardock!” He shouted at the multiple number of people in that room, who were now staring at him.

<p class="MsoNormal">He had interrupted their fornication. An incubus who wore a coat rose up.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yes?” He responded to the hero while proceeding to the middle of the room.

<p class="MsoNormal">The hero too approached, and the female hero stood in the door way, observing.

<p class="MsoNormal">“What is it?” Mardock had asked, not knowing why the hero approached him. He had assumed the person before him is a messenger of some kind.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Look at you. Don’t you feel disgusted with yourself?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Huh?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Where were you when your wife needed you most?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“What? My wife’s here.” Mardock turned head to look behind, not realizing the person before him was boiling with anger.

<p class="MsoNormal">The hero grabbed Mardock’s coat and held him above the floor.

<p class="MsoNormal">“What are you doing???”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I’LL KILL YOU!” He angrily threw a fist at Mardock, causing him to fly out of his grasp and pass through the doors at the other end of the room.

<p class="MsoNormal">Everyone stood shocked. Energy surged through the hero, creating air waves around himself that pushed the manomo’s and their partners away, squeezing them towards the walls.

<p class="MsoNormal">Mardock had survived the punch, which nearly took out half his face. He was a top class incubus, stronger than high class demons, and still it took him way more time than expected to regenerate from those wounds.

<p class="MsoNormal">And he wondered as he got up: 'What does he want from me? What wife is he talking about?'

<p class="MsoNormal">The hero followed up slowly, struggling to contain the anger within. A sword appeared in Mardock’s right hand, and a shield in the other, preparing for battle.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Who are you and what do you want from me?” He had asked, while list looking in his adversary’s eyes, which were barely visible because of the helmet he wore.

<p class="MsoNormal">However, Mardock caught a glimpse of his eyes… glowing red with rage.

<p class="MsoNormal">The hero pointed a finger, accusing: “You are a filthy traitor Mardock! I am disgusted to think that I once called you father.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Mardock’s face turned to stone out of shame and astonishment, now… painfully reminded of the lives he left behind. “You’re… Bardock?”

<p class="MsoNormal">He was too late to realize, that Bardock was filled with a murderous intent.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Where were you-“ He began and sprang forwards punching madly at his father, who now blocked with his shield. “-when we were attacked? Where?”

<p class="MsoNormal">Every punch sent Mardock a step back, while list dropping his sword, because he could not bring himself to strike his own son.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Where were you? When the bandits attacked and killed mother? Where? Where were you when I was taken by uncle to the Order’s churches? Where? Fornicating? You disgusting piece of shit!”

<p class="MsoNormal">The final punch broke through Mardock’s shield, and sent him flying a couple meters away, landing flat on his back.

<p class="MsoNormal">Mardock got up slowly, noticing the anger burning inside his son as if it was the sun itself.

<p class="MsoNormal">Bardock imploded, releasing energy around himself violently twisting walls and creating pressure in the air. His father could barely stand up anymore.

<p class="MsoNormal">The hero approached, grabbing Mardock by the neck and holding him up.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Who took you away?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I-I tried to resist.” A fist flew at his stomach, turning his expression into that of pain accompanied by sorrow.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Whose spine must I break?” He stared into his father’s eyes, which were filled with tears.

<p class="MsoNormal">“This must stop, now.” Another voice, close by. A woman’s voice. The hero looked and saw a demoness, resembling a succubus.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Was it you?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“No.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Then be gone.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I cannot overlook your presence here.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Bardock released his grip on his father and turned to the demoness. He unleashed all of his energy, surrounding himself with power as a display of potential. His father was thrown back by the wind pressure.

<p class="MsoNormal">And the female hero held on to a wall, trying not to be ripped apart.

<p class="MsoNormal">The demoness too released her power, strong enough to surpass that of a lilim’s, it reached Bardocks’s level and even dwarfed it.

<p class="MsoNormal">The female hero dropped on her knees, now full of fear at the realization.

<p class="MsoNormal">“D-D-Demon… Lordess…” The mother of the lilim’s was there. But what amazed her more, was that Bardock was standing high and strong in the face of this powerful adversary.

<p class="MsoNormal">Their energy levels were pushing one another, trying to decide who is greater.

<p class="MsoNormal">Even though her power far surpassed his, she noticed something very devious. The constant overflowing of his power was absorbing all of the energy near him and turning it into his own power source.

<p class="MsoNormal">Being this close to her meant that in a matter of seconds, he would have enough power to rival and possibly over power her. So she powered down.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hero. You have met your father, and expressed your anger. Please leave without incidents.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Bardock had realized now at who he was staring. Conflict with this person would most likely result in his defeat. So he chose to turn down his power.

<p class="MsoNormal">He sniffed, turning around and walking towards the female hero. He touched her shoulder and slightly shanked her, so that she woke up from staring blankly.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Were going.” He said without checking on her.

<p class="MsoNormal">The demon Lordess looked as they left.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Your highness-” Mardock started. “-I would have preferred you let him kill me.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I would not accept it.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I have sinned… and now I was reminded of that. Please, <span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:11pt;line-height:115%;">end my pitiful existence .”

<p class="MsoNormal">She turned towards him, looking down on his kneeling stance.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Wouldn’t it have been better if you apologized?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“The only way I could have done that, was if I died at his hand.” Mardock stopped to ponder. “But why is your highness down here?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I came, because I sensed danger.”

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Author's note:

<p class="MsoNormal">As you can see, it isn't all that good to be turned into one of these... creatures. Much pain can come of it.

<p class="MsoNormal">If I was a human in that world, I would have done the same thing Bardock did, if the situation was the same.

<p class="MsoNormal">I support the Order's teachings, because they are right! Everything they say has a meaning and a reason behind it.
