Aotsuki's Story Part 4

Aotsuki stood there frozen as he saw the shadow of Satan towering over him. He looks behind him and sees the bare chested man with burgundy coloured skin who wore black ripped shorts and had hooves for feet. He had ram like horns on the top of his head and a chaotic smile. He had a wavy tail coming out the back of him that looked like it could pierce you if he wanted it to do that.

"This is crazy! I need to create a distance between us. Foxfire: Fire Chaser! Ice Five: Ice Trail!", chanted Aotsuki.

All of a sudden, ice grew off the back of Aotsuki's sandal and then grew wild and large, crashing its way towards Satan. Whereas, the Fire Chaser, blasted off Aotsuki's hand as the flames molded itself into the shape of a fox. Shinra defended this attack by putting lots of Demon Energy into the top of his blade and letting the flames disperse.

"How rude! You think some shitty ice can stop me! Calling: Hells Lava: Lava Pump!", called Satan as he brought out his Devil Staff and launched lava to the ice.

As Satan used this move, the ice melted in an instant. Not taking letting Aotsuki get away with his attack, Satan Speedstar'd towards Aotsuki and thrusted his Devil Staff through his chest. Blood spurted out of every inch of Aotsuki's body.

"You'll make a good pawn.", smirked Satan as he twisted his blade more.

"S....shut it!", stuttered Aotsuki as he was winching in pain.

"I can feel it! I can feel the wrath dwelling in your body! Let me take over! Let me force a deal!", yelled Satan.

Suddenly, a Satanic Temple Symbol appeared on the chest of Aotsuki and bursted out Dark Purple Energy as it sealed on his skin. Aotsuki screamed with pain as he fell to the fall, smacking the ground in agony. His eyes went bloodshot and his tears turned to red. It was like his body has hit boiling point and he had no control of it.

"A forced contract, huh. You unleashed some demon, haven't you, Satan.", asked Shinra cunningly.

"Of course. He will be the one to destroy you.", said Satan.

"You giving him a taste of your power means nothing. Every demon falls when I unleash my Calling.", replied Shinra.

Shinra just gave off an evil smile and then Speedstar'd straight past Aotsuki. Slash! Just like last time, Shirna sliced across Aotsuki's abdomen but this time the cut was a lot deeper. All of the wounds that Aotsuki has sustained are screaming in pain. The throbs pulsated 4 times the normal speed and Aotsuki could feel his body failing. This time...it's over.

"N...not...yet!" stummered Aotsuki.

"You still not dead? Well, I guess I'm going to have to go all out.", gibed Shinra.

"Ice Five: Demonic Ice Slayer!", yelled Aotsuki.

Ice blue Demon Energy surrounded itself around Aotsuki and was spiking finely. He pointed his sword at Shinra and let the power flow of at a great pace. The ice created a devil looking face and slammed itself into Shinra, however that was not the case. For some reason, The ice shaped demon fell to the floor and Shinra sliced his abdomen once more, this time ending Aotsuki's life. Blood spilled to the floor along with the body of Aotsuki.

"How brutal.", chimed in Satan.

"I was only going easy on him to give him a chance. Sadly, he wasn't entertaining enough. Goodbye, old partner.", waved Shinra.

As Aotsuki's life faded away, the candle that he gave Himari did the same. As she saw the candle lose its life, the tears she was trying to hold back came flowing out. She knew that she has just lost someone important to her and that she is now going to have to explain this to Ava. She asks Suzuki and Hana to go to Ayaka's place for half an hour, so she can call Ava in and tell her the bad news.

"Himari! Long time no see! How are you doing?", asked Ava cheerily.

"Ava...I'm so sorry.", cried Himari.

"What's wrong?", questioned Ava.

"Aotsuki....Aotsuki came and dropped off this letter and candle and said that...that if the candle loses its life, then he has died.", explained Himari.

"No! You're...you're lying!!!!", wailed Ava.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Ava!", consoled Himari.

They both sat there and cried to their hearts content with the fact that they have lost Aotsuki and lost him for good.

5 years have past since Aotsuki's death and since he was forced to make a pact with Satan, he ended up in the Dark Citadel Institute. He has been rotting away in the burning pit cell all this time, wondering about how life could of been if not of that happened. How thought that if he was strong enough, he could of stopped Shinra and finally ended the hatred but in the end, all he caused was suffering for his love ones.

"Oi, Aotsuki Nakamura! Oi! Oi! Oi, Aotsuki Nakamura.", called a voice.

"Huh? You're the new 10th Captain of the Capitani Leggeri, Tekeshi Hajime.", recalled Aotsuki.

"That's correct, Aotsuki Nakamura.", replied Tekeshi.

"What is it you want? You always treat some souls badly in here. Are you here to cause havoc with me?", wondered Aotsuki.

"No. I'm here to give you a second chance.", stated Tekeshi.

"A second chance?", thought Aotsuki.

"I can sense the waves in your soul that you were deceived by one of the seven devils, correct?", Tekeshi pointed out.

"How did you...", started Aotsuki.

"You may have sinned but I can sense that you are a good person. So, let me give you a second chance!", exclaimed Tekeshi while reaching out his hand.

The dead looking eyes that Aotsuki had suddenly became brighter. He reached out his hand and shook it and said "Thank you! Thank you so much!".

 Now to the present time, Aotsuki became the Vice Captain for Tekeshi and is now ready to see Suzuki!

"Phew! That was a long few days, huh.", smiled Suzuki as he got out the portal.

"So this is the Human Realm! It's so pretty!", gleamed Hikari.

"It's only Suzuki's house.", stated Hebi sarcastically.

"Suzuki!!!!!", yelled Aotsuki from far way.

"U...Uncle Aotsuki!!!", gasped Suzuki.
