1 REBORN.

A demon horde cometh and who dare stands in their way. A well-known serial killer with the name 'Cold b-4' had a target to eliminate. Not knowing the target existed in the secret organization known as Templars. Cold b-4 had all the information he needed about his target. B-4 always did the kills as long as he got paid, to him it was strictly business but this time, he wanted this kill a lot more than the money so he demanded no money from the hirer since he would enjoy the kill so much due to his own personal reasons. B-4 put his plans together waiting for the appropriate moment to strike. He brought out his sniper which is well equipped for the mission and waited steadily upon the roof for his target to show. A few seconds later a man in a black suit came out of the opposite building with a briefcase in his hand walking along the street while making a call. B-4 lying flat on his belly, with his target in sight ready for the kill took in a deep breath and bam! he missed as the man turns around all of a sudden. The bullet went straight into the guy's arm and Cold being devastated to his core quickly descends down the building as he sees the guy run off to a corner street. Cold goes after him only to find him lying in a corner bleeding. Cold tried to end him really quick but couldn't get it done as the man in black transformed into a horrible monster right before his eyes. Upon the transformation a scaly arm with claws emerged with really long canines (fangs) and his eyes being like that of a serpent and with a big smile as he strokes cold to the ground. Cold was shocked to his core and so shaken up about what he was witnessing but even with the look of fear in his eyes Cold still tried to fight for his life but to no avail as he got hit much harder than the previous. As Cold lay on the ground helplessly, the newly discovered beast moved toward him going in for the kill but before he could get the chance. He heard footsteps and car tires screeching and immediately transformed back into his human state. Cold then quickly gets up and tries to run but only to get shot with a sedative gun by some guys who appear to be like the FBI. Cold wakes up to find himself handcuffed to a table in a secret facility where he was being watched through a glass by two men and a woman all in black. Cold then realized he had been arrested by the secret organization known as the Templars but what Cold didn't know was that the man he just tried to assassinate is their leader [the Grand-master; the highest order bestowed on a Templar] but he found out as the men watching him were all asked to leave by his missed target when he entered the room where Cold is being held. With Cold seeing what he never thought to be possible, he wanted vengeance the more against this man for his own reasons. So the man offered Cold a deal either to become like him or die knowing that his kind (supernatural) exists. Cold rejecting his offer got him killed, actually murdered in cold blood. So the secret was safe since nobody knew what he really is and why Cold wanted him dead. Cold wakes up in a pit of smoke and darkness, and there stood DARKNESS. The dark spoke to him saying "Hear me so Magota, in all thy ways, thou made haste to thy names and customs" and he spoke with an even scarier voice saying "POWER OF CHARON BEHOLD THY WEILDER" then its spoke again to cold saying "BRING ME SOULS, END MY HUNGER". At once Cold became consumed with a great power he had never felt before and his garment changed to that of the FERRYMAN, Charon. The darkness ordered him to follow him and he did. He was taken to the heart of TARTURUS, there he found HADES awaiting his arrival. There he sat around a table with HADES himself with a contract laid before him. It was then explained to him that he needed to become the new ferryman of the underworld since he is the next in line to take on the mantle. It all seemed strange to him since he had no idea what was going on. Then HADES said "IT SHALL ALL BE MADE CLEAR ". At once appeared a staff hovering in the air and Cold was asked to take it. As soon as he came into contact with the staff he went into a Transformation where he had visions of everything concerning his bloodline and he became linked to the ferrymen before him and he understood all that was happening. As soon as he came out of out of it, he cut his palm with his nails which had now been elongated and sharp and stamped the contract with his blood.

The contract was for him to agree to take many souls across the purgatory river to hell during his time as the ferryman of the underworld. In his failure to procure many souls for Hades, He would be condemned to a fate of torture for all eternity as his predecessors have been. But should he be able to fulfill the agreements of the contract, he gets to have life eternal and roam the land of the living whenever he wishes. Though the offer was quite simple and easy no ferryman has ever been able to accomplish this task. However Cold believed he could complete the task since he had unfinished business with the land of the living. The look of Vengeance in his eyes as he agreed to the terms of the contract was nothing HADES himself had ever seen and that scared him a bit. Cold stood there and his flesh been consumed by bones, canines growing long and all sort of thing happening to him. As he accepted the contract he was Transformed into something horrifying. He woke up sitting on a wood-like throne with his head bent down and a sickle-like object in his palm and fully transformed into the next in line as the ferryman. The darkness spoke out loud saying; HONOR THY PLEDGE Charon, HONOR THY PLEDGE. Charon transformed into a pitch of black SMOKE and moved over a dead silent sea of blood ready to bring in the next batch of souls to be consumed unable to escape purgatory. Charon did this job without question for 50yrs until his memory was jugged one day when he encountered a spirit on the dead silent sea. The spirit in line to the land of the undead screams and wails as he can barely take the pain to the entrance of hell, Charon looked to the damned and called him to come before him as he begs for mercy, he then started his own games permitted by the DARKNESS AND HADES' contract, after his deceit had kicked in, he wanted a game for his amusement, you kill for him, he sets you free (something he couldn't do yet). He could have struck bargains with only the dead as of now. Charon started with a married man as he traps him in an illusion and bargained. Charon with that fake, goofy attitude spoke to the man saying,' you really come to hell to suffer, really dude. So why you crying and looking All fucked up'. The blonde Hair dude started cried even harder, I am Maxwell and I got killed by a ...A man I don't know of .... (still crying) .... I came home and they tied me up and killed me, and ...they said something about a woman, God how I wish I knew the woman. Charon faking it offered him a deal and showed him his murderer and it was no other than Maxwell's woman who's been after his property for quite some time. Max became filled with hate and anger and agreed to anything. Charon feuded him and he gave him power, power like none which made him invincible. Charon told him to come closer and he whispered in his ear, "hey man this moment forward it's just you and me alright? (Hateful cunning smile emerged from Charon) you go out there and you kill, just kill for me man, you feel me". Power consumed Max and he suddenly begun breathing heavily like a beast ready to charge. Charon opened the gates of life (loop hole gate) for him to go through and he shouted with a wicked dead tone ...Enjoy!!!! Charon sat down on top a hill with souls sent to darkness ready to be devoured, he looked across the red sea ready for something big, something bad was about to set loose and he was ready to kill at any price possible.

Maxwell went to the loophole and it teleported him to the land of the living. He appeared in the middle of the subway at midnight completely naked. The first person to see him was a homeless man and he came close to check up on him whether he was doing well since he laid in the middle of the railway. The homeless guy came close and asked him how he's coping, Max turned and the guy shouted in fear and immediately got devoured by Max. He chews the homeless guy's flesh as if he had not eaten for years. With his eyes glowing and elongated canines he fed till there was almost nothing left of the guy when he heard the sound of the train approaching and moved away from there. The next morning the body of the guy was found by the police. The investigation was spearheaded by detective Suarez one of the best Detectives in New York. Somehow, the investigation he was interrupted by Men in Black. These men looked like federal agents and they had a warrant to take over the investigation. The police pack their things and left. These men were the same as the Templars. Further into the investigation, word was sent to the head of the organization informing them that it was the work of a wendigo. Max traced his woman to one of her houses. He looked through the window with such anger he wanted to devour her. But the house was heavily guarded so he went away hoping to come for the kill in the evening. Meanwhile the organization which is the Templars were busily trying to locate max. The time mages of the Templars organization were asked to find Max. Though it was a horrifying job to do since the magic was unknown and they couldn't reach him they managed to put their efforts together and combined their magic and found him. Upon finding him the Knights in the organization stormed out to end him. By the time the Templars got to where he was he had already killed his way through the body guards at his wife's house. He had his wife also tied to a chair and savored the moment as he wanted to enjoy the kill. Immediately he noticed the presence of the knights and the blue mages surrounding him, he stuck his hand through his wife's heart and pulled out her heart and smiled. He was then attacked by the Knights but he managed to injure the lots of them before he was brought down. The white Mages cured the injured soldiers. As Max was about to die he transformed back to his human form with his body disappearing into Ashes. Meanwhile Charon received the soul of every single person Max had killed and his numbers went up. He smiled as Max had done well. When Max came back he told Charon that he had done his part and that he was to be set free but Charon said to him you idiots did you think it was that easy? Your soul belongs to Hades and ye shall suffer till the end of days. Max was then sent into eternal path of hell to suffer. Back at the organization The white mages kept healing the injured soldiers. The whole mess that was made was cleaned up and a cover story of an armed robber gang attacking the home was made up in the news. One of the soldiers who was in critical condition was able to wake up later in the morning and this was a great news for the organization but he went to take a shower it was realized that he had a new mark on him and it was the mark of Charon. Charon sat on his wood-like throne and laughed so loud that even Hades himself heard him and he said' it has begun hahahahahahaha".

Detective Suarez woke out of bed with the incident still on his mind and a series of flashbacks on the dead body partly devoured, unable to process it all and has no idea on how to start his investigation. A meeting was held in Groove City Police Department{GCPD} trying to address the issue in all turns and their point of conclusion was an animal attack. Oliver stood up looking desperate and talking back at Suarez that there's nothing that could pull this off except an animal. Oliver's words were a lot more convincing and the higher ups agreed to it. Suarez on the other hand knew this was no ordinary animal attack and requested to take a break after the meeting was over and he descended down the stairs as he came across Mr. Woncler.... this man will talk you to death. Suarez told him "nah, this ain't the time man, need some space bro". he got out and drove straight to the cafeteria to ease up some stress. Suarez felt he was being watched, he turned to watch for anyone stalking him and he got a call as he walked out of the cafeteria and head out to the PD. Suarez waiting patiently in traffic to take his immediate left heading to his next destination had himself caught in a flashback again so instantly froze unaware that the lights had turned green, he then turned right and head straight to the alley where the scene happened. Suarez got out of his ride and accidentally bumped into a woman, he then quickly apologized and the woman kept walking as she said nothing till she completely out of site. He spent an awful lot of time trying to unveil the truth and prove to higher ups it was no ordinary thing. He searched and searched and searched but still got nothing, he packed his stuff and decided to head home after an endless search of nothing when he heard an awful scream as if someone was bout the be murdered, Suarez hurriedly picked up his badge and gun and headed straight to the apartment which seems to be on the third floor. Suarez got to the room and asked anyone inside to open, if not he is coming in. he requested for backup and then he barged inside with nothing only to find a dark room but a rocking chair and a bed. Suarez rushed into the other room and started hearing a voice as she spoke about her past and ask Suarez if he remembers ruining her life.... He turned up only to see a smoke form entity materialize into a human with tears horribly falling off her eyes as she promised to pay him back for what he did... she changed back into smoke and gushed inside Suarez as he had nothing but to pray to God for help...he felt his consciousness fading as he drops to the ground and gasps for breath. Suarez only with nothing but his will picked up his gun and shot the entity which passed right through it...then went unconscious after. Suarez actually had no idea as he left her to die without looking back as these series of memories kept popping up inside him. Guilt and Sorrow consumed him as he had nothing else to live for at this moment and he forcefully said his last words that he is sorry and he went out. The entity turned to Suarez's unmoving body as another person heavily dressed in samurai's armor stood right in front of them. Silence and tension filled up in the room and it walked to the entity. He draws one of its swords ready for battle, and they heard other footsteps coming, reaching out to his pouch, the samurai guy holding a rock-like object as it glows transported him out of there... Allison working in the PD with a kid arrived at the scene and took it down. Suarez woke up on a bench outside with the whole department there, Allison then handed out some kind of milkshake out to Suarez to consume, He's going to feel a lot better... she said. Suarez asked one of the police what happened and he told him to turn around, the 12th floor building which seems to be devoured leaving only three floors left. Suarez stood there with no idea and how he even got there, he then saw Allison grab a kid by the arm as the quarrel and they about to head out of the place, Suarez the quickly rushed to them and asked what happened as she told him she saved his life and that all he needs to know and the kid with white hair as snow stare at Suarez as if he owes him an answer...Suarez backed off and they drove away on their bike as he kept staring till they were out of sight.

A gloomy cold room appeared as the man with his face not shown removes his mask and moves behind his transparent windows as he stares into the dark and cold city. The man took his seat on his bed and his shadow shone on the wall, filled with an uneasy feeling, he sat there for quite some time with his intentions still unknown. There was a practice duel between Allison and the kid. Allison full of anguish and confused on what happened recently as she let her anger on Shane by attacking him ruthlessly in a sense that they were nearly exposed to the outside world. Shane got kicked over a long time and this time Alison losing it decided to deliver the final blow, Shane's mixed feelings consuming him inside lost it this time and burst, overflowing with a tremendous amount of energy. Allison shook as she stood there witnessing a kid release such a huge amount of power. Shane stood there with his face bent to the ground awakening a cursed eye belonging to the long lost kerito clan. The mythical eye awakened by blood, Shane actually awakened a long lost power from one of the unknown. The Amikage No Me [CROSS SHADED EYE]. Allison natural instinct moved her to knock Shane unconscious. She failed and her attack got reflected back to her two fold. Shane's body started rooting black marks, the young man was going through some transformation unknown to Allison. She had no option but to undo a summoning containing the untold god of trickery and guile, dolus. Allison with her skill reversed the summoning and unleashing dolus. An ancient trickster said to know all the secrets of the world. Allison shook in fear AS DOLUS WAS LET LOOSE. With a devious look as dolus turns to Allison, he immediately felt the overwhelming power of the long lost kerito clan. Dolus asked where he is as his natural instinct sensing danger from Shane, he then drew a tetra star on the ground with his blood as he told Allison to draw him to the circle.it was successfully achieved as dolus begin the incantation;

Anata no shi wa watashitachi no yorokobidesu

Anatano itami wa watashitachi no

Yorokobidesu naraku no soko ni watashitachi

No eien no nikushimi o fujiru hikari ga atatte

Inai basho anata no toki ga modotte hau yo ni

Naru made watashitachi no norowareta-me chi

Nashide wa kesshite tachiagaranai

ENGLISH VERSION

YOUR DEATH IS OUR PLEASUE

Your death is our delight

Seal our forever hate in an abyss

Where no light shone on it

Till thy time comes to crawl back and roar

Our cursed eyes

Never to rise without blood.

Dolus stood there consumed with so many questions as he opens a loop hole then leaves the place.

Shane opens a long lost power of the kerito clan [the unknown],Dolus is released from his long lost imprisonment, Charon's planning to bring the horde of the death to the land of the living.... Who shall be their Salvation and who will be their destruction. Stay tuned for more....
