The boys walked into the factory, and the metallic smell of blood filled their noses.
The emptied factory seemed very old with rusted metal pillars and a lot of dust in the air. There was a trail of blood which led off from the entrance up to a flight of stairs.
“Stay close”, Tolo warns them while slowly following it.
They reached the second floor and saw a young girl lying down by the corner. She had long black hair, her almond eyes which had layers of baggage.
She wore a large tattered white shirt which was soaked with blood, she held onto her right arm and took laboured breaths.
She looked over and began weeping, she then stretched her left hand to them. She was shaking, Tolo ran over to her, held her hand and checked her pulse.
“Her heart is beating very slowly”.
His eyes began to glow as he held onto her, and she began to pant a bit quicker.
“Will she be okay?”, Kean asks.
“I…don’t think so, her wounds are far too severe even for me to heal”.
The girl let out a tiny squeal before bowing down her head and letting out one final breath.
Tolo slowly puts down her hand and then darts back to the twins saying "Mission failed boys but we have a new one, exterminate the demon".
Another girl appears, a complete replica of the one who just passed but She has very pale skin and a giant grin but what stood out the most was her pitch\-black eyes.
"Umm…Tolo what's happening right now?!", Kean says.
"Well you see, I couldn't save her from dying and when a human dies an unfulfilled, negative or sorrowful life filled with pain and suffering, they undergo something called the Lucifer’s Curse”.
“Instead of dying and joining us in the spirit realm, they turn into demons and we have to destroy her soul before they can do any harm".
"Isn't there a way to save her? We can't just kill her off”, Kinea says in a worried tone.
"Sadly, no. This is the only way, we can't have her causing harm to anybody.".
Tolo looks back at the twins, noticing their worried gaze, “This is what you signed up for boys, there's no other way”.
The demon then begins to rapidly clone itself, making more than twenty replicas of itself. Its hands became bigger about the size of a tennis racket and grew razor\-sharp claws that were black in colour and her grin turned to a huge smile which showed razor sharp teeth.
They dash at them from all angles. One of them then dashes to Kinea, he uses his arms to block then grabs it by the head and knees it. He is however slashed from the back by another one, he turns back and lands a clean kick to it's abdomen.
One of the hits him in the stomach causing him to fly into the wall the collision causes him to cough but without rest three more dart towards him.
Tolo dashed back at them, landing strong blows and kicks. He was taking on about five at the same time with ease.
Another dashes at Kean goes through his legs and behind him, slashing at his right leg and his back. He turns back manages to sweep it off its feet but is attacked by two others which slam him through the second story down to the first floor.
A clone darts at him almost landing a clean blow but he manages to evade it on time before hitting a kick to it's jaw but after which two more come pinning him to the floor.
A black fog started coming out of their mouth, it began covering up the whole building which impeded their vision. By the time it was cleared, both the twins were knocked unconscious and the clones were centered on Tolo.
The twins wake up inside a small apartment, with dirty dishes in the sink, dusty and broken floors and old furniture, the twins look over at each other clearly confused as to where they are.
Screaming, shouting and hitting. All coming from a room in front of them, they look at each other and start slowly walking towards the room.
The room was empty, no furniture, bed, mirror and not more than one small window for ventilation. At the center, they could see was a middle\-aged man was beating a young girl with broken bottles beside them. She was screaming in pain yelling "Father, father!! I'm sorry! I’m sorry!! Please stop!!”.
The man had brown hair with grey eyes and a brown beard. He yelled "Your the cause, you bitch!".
The girl appears behind them tapping both their shoulders, they turn back and see her smiling sheepishly at them.
She then walks to her couch, sits on it and pats it signifying for them to sit down.
The boys looked at each other and nod, they then go sit beside her. "Her name was Olivia Jackson. She grew up with only her dad as her mom died at a young age, leaving her with only him. He was a good man until his factory failed.He lost everything and lead to a life of gambling and drinking then he started harming his own daughter".
“On the days where his fathers would bring his friends, they would do unspeakeable things to the young girl and her father wouldn't bat an eye”.
"After she couldn't take it anymore, she ran away at the brink of dawnbut got into a car accident which left her injured. The driver didn't even take a moment to look out for her, he only drove off leaving her for dead. Same goes for the few people who saw the accident.
“She then retreated to her dad's old factory, where she played as a child with her beloved father. She didn't want this, she didn't want to die but no one in the world seemed to care about her."
"How this world can be cruel, she hadn't even clocked the age of ten yet".
"Why?!".
"Why are you saying it like you aren't this girl?!", Kinea says in a .
"Because I'm not, not anymore at least", she says in a calm voice.
Kean bowed his head, covering his eyes.
"Do you now see how cruel this world is??", she asks.
“She didn't want her life to end, she didn't want to die, she…she…I wanted to live”.
“I believe you two can change this cruel world though”.
She then gets up and looks at them with pride, smiling at them saying "I can feel it in your souls, they're strong. You will be the Saviours of Humanity".
He body then slowly begins to either away, “Seems like I'm going forever now, thank you for chatting with me. Make sure not to forget me when you're saving the world, okay?!”.
The boys then wake up at the back of the factory and see Tolo burying a corpse.
Their injuries were seemingly healed and they went sluggish went over to Tolo.
"Did you kill..", Kean inquires.
Tolo simply looked at them and nodded, tears slowly ran down the cheeks of the twins.
“She…didn't deserve to die”, Kean says.
"Such is Lucifer's curse. Once you don't die at peace, you destroy the world as a demon who's only motive is to kill and destroy", Tolo says.
He then smiles saying "A Bishops work isn't to be played with, it's hard and dangerous but worst of all it's sad but we must keep doing it to keep order”.
“Anyways i’d say this was a good bit of experience, let's head back”.
“Do you not care??”, Kean asks.
Tolo just looks back at him and shrugs before saying “You gotta get used to this”.
"Saviour Of Humanity?", Kinea quietly says.
