Chapter 17 - Part 21

Long ago the imp demon stood his ground as the devil released an enormous amount of hell fire. The blast impacted the demon creating a large explosion, but something had happened that even surprised the devil.

Razor had Surrounded Maestro with electricity. Maestro was confused on what's happening. Razor tells him to just be quiet, and don't move. Maestro then asked if this was going to hurt. Razor chuckled then answered that it'll hurt only if he decides it to. Maestro was confused on that answer, and was about to ask again for confirmation. However, his vision was suddenly going dark. Shortly after all he could see was pitch blackness in all directions.

Maestro was confused, and scared as he looked around. He calls out both Sylvester's, and Razor's names hoping for a response. Only to hear nothing in return. Just then something did start moving within the darkness. Catching Maestro's attention he asked who was out there. Fear sits in his voice as he activated his fire blade. A shadowy figure slowly walks towards Maestro. His eyes widened in shock seeing who the shadowy figure really was. It was revealed that the figure was Makeshift.

Maestro was lost for words seeing him. The two stared at each other in silence before something strange happened to Maestro. His eyes widened as he start to get a series of flashbacks of his past life. Living in the underworld, and being sent to purgatory. Most importantly, eating a devil bone. The flashbacks had ended, and Maestro was stunned by realization. He looks at Makeshift, analyzing him completely. Makeshift asked him if he remembered him now. A tear shed down Maestro's face as he nods his head in agreement. After wiping his face, he stated that he also remembered the one that killed them.

At that moment crimson flames rose up all around Maestro, and Makeshift. They stand their with no other option, but to watch. The powerful flames of black, and crimson also appeared on a higher platform as well. They both look up there, and Maestro was shook by what he saw. A silhouette with red eyes standing within the flames laughing. Maestro looked over at Makeshift, but was surprised to see him burning away in the flames. Makeshift had called out for Maestro before fully disappearing. Maestro was overwhelmed by what was happening. He stepped back which caused the floor to crack. He stopped after noticing it, but just then the demon had jumped down from the platform. He landed in the flames, and walked out slowly. Seeing the demon of chaos made Maestro panic. He stepped back once again causing the floor to crack even more. The cracking continued until the floor broke through completely.

Maestro fell through the surface as multiple shards from the floor fall along side him. He falls slowly as he looks over to one of the shards. He sees Makeshift inside, and he yells out his name. He tried to reach for the shard, but couldn't reach it as he kept falling. He looked at the next shard to see a boy with white hair inside. The boy turned around which had shocked Maestro, because the boy was him from when he was on earth. He turned his head looking at another shard seeing his mother, holding him before she had past. When she gave him the name Maestro. Tears started creep down Maestro's face as he continues to fall slowly. Looking inside of another shard he saw his father on his knees with an emotionless face. He keeps repeating that he lost everything, and that he has nothing. Maestro cries even harder while apologizing to his father. However, he hears someone telling him that it's all his fault. Because he was weak, and lacked will power. He turned over, and saw the demon laughing at him in another shard. Maestro yelled out to leave him alone. The demon then ran towards Maestro reaching outside the shard. Maestro had screamed in fear which had caused him to fall faster than the shards.

Shortly after, he had hit the ground landing flat on his stomach. He rolled over then saw the shards, and quickly got out of the way. The shards had changed as they came into contact with the ground. Now melting into the flames of crimson, and black. Seeing the flames Maestro ran as fast as he could to get away from the area. Unfortunately, the flames had spreaded at a fast pace, quickly surrounding Maestro. He couldn't find an exit route, and was trapped. Suddenly he hears laughter coming from the flames. As he looks around at the flames, they change from black, and crimson to bright red hell fire. The flames that surrounded him had now resembled the ring of fire.

Maestro looked around at the flames feeling a rush of anxiety. Just then the laughter had stopped. Maestro had turned around, and saw the chaos demon walking through the flames. He had blades of chaos energy formed from both hands, and a menacing grin. Maestro couldn't think straight, and could hear his heart beating. The chaos demon then told Maestro not to do it. Not to come back. Stating that Maestro knows deep down that he couldn't win. Maestro stared at the demon utterly terrified, and started to slowly step back. While walking backwards he decided he was better off running away than to face the demon. He turned around to run, but he had immediately ran into someone. He looked up to see the demon once again. Before he could do anything, the demon had striked Maestro slicing his neck.

Everything went dark, and silent. Maestro had realized he was still alive so he opened his eyes. In a panic he felt around his neck. Not feeling any cuts, or pain Maestro had started to calm down. Taking deep breaths to soothe his heavily beating heart. He looks around noticing that area around him was pitch black once again. Suddenly an enormous amount of electricity appeared above Maestro. He looked up confused, and was a little bit concerned. However the vibrant color made gave him more a curious feeling than fear. The electricity started to shift around, and shortly after Razor had appeared in the center of the electricity. However, it was only his head, and much larger than Maestro. Razor had growled in anger then yelled out to empty void to come out, and face him. Maestro looked across from him wondering who was he referring to. His eyes widened in shock as an enormous amount of flames had appeared.
