<Afterlife> Options

[Oliverskx]

The train going through the tunnel moved faster than normal. All passengers had no idea of what had just taken place. Yet Gabriel watched them all from the front of the car. This car out of all others was to be picked for the Afterlife games. The reaper didn't know whether to be sorry for this group or to be excited about being able to run the games for once.

The train now moved through a dark tunnel. This meant Citadel City was near and that now would be his time to start the briefings. His materialization out of nowhere didn't seem to have an effect on the busy passengers at all. He took the appearance of a young boy in a black cloak with white hair and red eyes; the same albino appearance he had when he was alive. *ahem* The gray reaper cleared his throat.

"Good evening passengers." he spoke calmly. "I am Gabriel and I am here to welcome you all to Citadel City before we reach our stop."

"What on earth are you rambling on about?" yawned a young woman sitting in seat 8. "Is this the wrong train?"

"Like I don't even, like, know what this kid is talking about either." another young woman from seat seven spoke.

"That voice sounds familiar..." went the blind male from seat 10.

"You are all a part of the Afterlife games." said Gabriel.

You're forgetting something sir! Show them what's happened sir! came a bubbly voice from his thin black earpiece. Gabriel could always count on advice from his assistant. "It's much easier if I just show you all." Gabriel spoke switching on a monitor conveniently stationed on a wall of the train.

The monitor flashed to news footage. A few heads turned to watch. The broadcast was loud.

This is Tiffany Williams with a mind numbing news bulletin. Right now I'm standing in front of the station outside the city where the train crash that occurred earlier this day is still recovering victims of the tragedy. So far there has been no survivors from what I can tell. More victims recovered from this terrible incident have been discovered to be the bodies of Elanora Jameson, Fae Cantigre, Clarissa Montague, Matthew Jameson, Sachiko Hayashi, Marcus Giles, Thomas Marx, Joe Brody, Ms. Mavin Davis, Stella Marx, twins Allen and Thomas Rhodes, the beloved Fabian Gestalt, Tia Wang, Romeo Willis, Jackie Hayes, Damien Peers and a Ms. Rita Thompson.

Yet insiders say there are still a lot more to be recovered.

"Yo what the hell is this shit?" A scruffy young man in seat 11 shouted. "Is this some sort of joke?"

The monitor footage cut to weeping family members and friends. "So are we like, dead or something, like that?" the female in seat seven asked once more.

"Please stay calm everyone." Gabriel advised. "No one is dead yet. Your chance to gain your normal lives back lies here in Citadel City."

The train emerged from it's dark tunnel and onto tracks leading to an island of sorts. A large city could be seen with a tower in the center that sits high in the sky. The ominous environment seemed to be tinted with the color red. For those who knew no better, this city looked like a picture of an apocalyptic worn place.

"Now are there any questions before I head on to the next subject?" Gabriel asked politely.

"당신이 무슨 말을하는거야?" spoke a little Korean girl as the train got closer and closer the the wretched island.

Gabriel

"Nanicci!"

I know! I KNOW! I cant fix everything at once sir. I'm sorry sir but I'm pulling up and researching all of the files on Hell I can sir! Just pray that the others can stay alive for now sir.

He reconsidered his request. She was doing all she could at the moment. The large insect beast and another with a scythe loomed ahead. He could see Amos and the new reaper fighting both creatures off as much as they could. And it looked like his reapers were fighting back easily. He wondered if he should have went to check on Fagelein and Johann. "What are these gates?" He summoned his own blade out of thin air above him.

He jumped up and swung at Beezlebub, dispatching it upon it's beheading. "Oh sir. I was rather enjoying that. Are you sure you want us to make such quick work of these creatures?"

"Just destroy them." he replied.

The new reaper was doing well. One after another both Satan and Romeo dodged and weaved, throwing attacks back and forth, volleying. It was mildly entertaining. "Aim for the head." he called going after the Satan creature.

Yet before the new reaper could afflict damage Amos tore through the sky like lightning decapitating the creature in one swift move. "Sorry little one I couldn't resist." Amos' smile was wider than normal. He seemed to enjoy fighting the creatures.

"Damn. What the hell were those things?" Romeo gasped.

"One of the seven-"

"That's not important to you right now." Amos chuckled.

It caught him off guard when a scythe tore through his torso. "What is the meaning of this?" He growled.

"Yo what are you doing?" Romeo yelled.

"You should be worried about other things baby reaper." smiled Amos as he tugged his scythe from Gabriel's body. "Begone before you get the same treatment."

Gabriel could feel a large hole torn through his torso. He collapsed to the ground and his vision had gone blurry but he could hear the footsteps of Amos echoing towards the gate and towards the dead fiends. "Hopefully the sacrifice of my brothers won't be in vain." his voice had lost it's teasing tone in place of a more serious one.

Gabriel could feel his body go limp.

"Joe's right. We don't have much of a strategy. We can't just force ourselves inside. There's got to be a better way." said Luci.

Damien frowned for a minute before fixing himself. Dude like don't you wanna win the games? You can't win if everyone's working together. her angel protested.

For some reason her angel had been highly against their ideals. But there was a peaceful way to end this. "If all else fails I have a last resort." she heard Damien say. "But I'll need all the strength I can get. You two will just have to do your best in taking out the angel. I'll handle God myself. As for strategy I'll take the element of surprise any day."

He waved his hands over the rocky ground where four large slabs of earth broke. The pieces were wide enough for one to step on and they floated well above the ground. "We'll burst in through the ceiling then. After that it's just pure luck. I'm counting on you two to back me up." Said Damien as he stood atop one of the floating pieces of rock.

The rock carried him up higher and higher towards the large tower they were about to siege. "We can do this right?" she forced a smile at Joe before standing on one of the rock surfaces herself.

It carried her higher immediately after Damien. This was it. She'd rather die fighting for her life than to die in some slaughter competition.


Romeo Willis

He'd been running for a while. It was odd but after becoming a reaper his body moved much more freely than he'd thought. What had scared him was the picture of Amos. The traitorous strike that had come to the head reaper. He had no time to think. For one he had become a reaper so that he would not die. Falling at the hands of a rogue reaper would be pointless. "Dammit!"

He wished he at least had his angel phone Karen to ask advice. The phone had been dead ever since he became a reaper. "Oh hey!"

He heard a familiar voice and paused his running to look around for a bit. Only three blocks away did he spot Fae Cantigre calling to their old friend. The large eyed girl who had not hesitated to kill Clarissa. "Oh dear! I was beginning to think you wouldn't show! Are you going to share food Sachiko? I'm terribly hungry, but the others went ahead."

"Yo don't get too close to her." he said as he got closer to the two. "She's the one who ditched us before."

"Oh my, you're not bleeding anymore. Aren't you the one who ditched me to become a reaper?"

"I just figured I wouldn't be any good in the real world anymore." Romeo replied "That girl however left us without the food and murdered that bitchy chick from earlier. There's no way she can be trusted."

"But there's a way for everyone to return to life."

Fae told them both of the plan. How the others were off to attacking God's Tower as they spoke. How they would attempt to replace god and return everyone back to life. Romeo had heard her plan and felt a bit intrigued. "Sounds like you all got some balls challenging that one, from what I've heard God's not the most merciful one around these parts." he said.

He didn't know what he would do. Should he try to rejoin the reapers? He felt less threatened when standing beside two human

<Nanicci:Look out you two Leviathan's coming in for a tail wack! And don't underestimate Belphegor! It's a really fast demon and it will try to devour you. It looks like it's running towards you Johann. Good luck sirs! <3>
