Chapter XXVI

The Gnaw of Vex

As Alex was about to magically blast the downed Wails again.

Satan; (multiple voices)
Enough, Keeper!

Alex; (looking back to Satan)
It is I, who should say that Satan!

Satan; (multiple voices)
Your really change, Keeper! (Squinting his eye)
Hand over the Mystical Key of Water

Cattusia & Lantis:
No! Keeper!

Satan; (Multiple choices)
I think your, Keeper has no choice.

Satan then moves a little aside to show Alex his captured Guardians.

Alex;
I will not give the key to you, Satan!

Satan; (Wails regaining his consciousness)
You really want to do it in a hard way?
Mr. Wails! (Shaking his head)
Would you do the honor, please!

Alex;
What are you going to do?

Satan; (Multiple voices)
Don’t you move, Keeper
Just enjoy the show!

Wails jump of the civilians to bite them one by one on their neck to turn them into his legions of wolves.

Alex; (acting to magically blast Wails)
No!

Satan; (multiple voices)
I would not do that if I were you, Keeper.
You see, your emotions make you weak, and worthless.

Alex just closes his eyes, for him not to witness Wails horrific acts. But still he can’t stand the pain, the scream for help of the civilians. He then quickly talks to Lantis and Cattusia in their minds.

Alex; (talking in his mind to the two conscious Guardians)
I must do this. I can’t let Wails turn them into evil, their all innocent.
Unda interquo!

He quickly wave his right hand to attack Satan with his Water element, sending Satan away, crashed in a parked car, then he jumps on the circled fire to blast Mr. Wails crashing Wails on a wall. Alex blasts again the building walls to fall on Wails.

Satan; (while standing up) (clapping)
Impressive! Very impressive, Keeper!
But too late, Mr. Wails already bite few humans, any moment now
They’re be morphing as his Legions. And you almost forgot I have your Guardians, Morgana!

Morgana;
Yes, My Lord!
Die sweetly in vain, brother!

Morgana ordered his snake to swallow and eat Lantis!

Sibling Vampires;
Ha Ha Ha

Cattusia;
No!

Alex;
No! Lantis!

As the snake swallows Lantis with his butterfly, the civilians who have been bitten by Wails started to morph.

Lilith;
Master, may I have my bite?

Satan;
Patience my young Lilith!
Now Keeper, hand over the Key to me.

Cattusia;
No, Keeper they will all just kill us anyway.

Lilith; (grabbing Cattusia’s hair)
Quiet!

Satan; (reaching and opening his right hand to Alex)
The Key, Please… (Having the difficulty to say the word “please”)

As Alex look at Cattusia, at Leto and the weak Llandra, ten civilians fully morph themselves into their werewolf form, they all surrounded Alex, waiting for their first kill. Mr. Wails emerge also from the debris that Alex trapped him.

Satan; (multiple voices)
Ah! Mr. Wails, nice of you to wake up!
Keeper, this will be the last time I will ask
Hand over my Key!

Alex; (changing his armor back)
Relinquish thy Power of Unda.

As Alex open his right hand a blue key appears and when he was about to hand it over to Satan. A piercing white light comes out from the snake that swallowed Lantis, and then burst the snake in and out, sending Morgana away because of the impact of the blast.
