DEMONS I: Meeting the Empress

Once upon a time would always be a beginning of every story, but this time it's different. This would start on where the seven so called demons are living. It is a village exclusively for the seven of them which is called 'Terra Infinite'. They solely owned the place and only their houses and another building structure called Empyrean was built inside the village.

That one building was named Empyrean as it suits it's meaning which is 'an ideal place or state'. This place is one of their ideal place. They would usually hangout there for the reason that everything's there already. It's very huge that they also consider this place as their main headquarters.

The first floor is where the gym, the basketball court and the game room is located. All kinds of games that they are interested with is here. A very huge living room which is considered their meeting place is paced at the middle of the ground floor. While, the second floor is simply where the music room, the library, the bar and the movie theatre is located. While, the last floor is where their resting area is located.

"Ya! Lee SungJong, abot mo nga saken yang phone ko. Nakapatong lang yun dyan sa side table malapit sa'yo." Sigaw ni Sunggyu mula sa kabilang parte ng room. Heads up that Sunggyu is pronounced as Sungkyu.

'Istorbo talaga tong hamster na'to!' Sungjong thought.

"Why don't you get it yourself?" He shouted back.

"You see, I'm playing billiards here. And make it faster!" He demanded.

"Aish! Nakakainis ka talaga!"

Padabog na iniabot ni Sungjong yung phone nito then he went back to his seat. He decided to just watch their leader which is Sunggyu and Hoya playing billiards.

Si Sunggyu ay ang palautos nilang leader na may mala-hamster na mata. While Hoya is the sporty member of the group na may pagka-seryoso, rude, suplado at times, at ang tanging nakaka-pang-asar kay Sunggyu ng sobra.

"It's proven, you're Loser Gyu. I've told you, you'll never win against me." Hoya mocked him while laughing as moments passed by.

"I'll win next time." Sunggyu answered him with gritted teeth and the look on their leader's face wherein his small eyes can no longer be seen and irritation is plastered on his face is a funny sight for Sungjong.

"Sorry Loser Gyu, but that next time you're hoping for is never gonna happen." Hoya sarcastically laughed off his face.

"Hoya wag mo naman ginaganyan si Lose--- I mean si Sunggyu. Wala na ngang mata oh inaasar mo pa." Singit naman ni Woohyun na may kasamang tawa.

"Ano kaba ganyan lang talaga pag tumatanda na!" Sabat naman ni Sungyeol kaya't tumawa na silang anim.

He just looked at everyone with knotted forehead before turning his back on them which makes the group laugh even more.

Woohyun is a very silly one and Sunggyu being gullible as he is, is always Namu's victim but they are best of friends and Woohyun's nickname is Namu. While, Sungyeol is the choding (acting like the youngest and playful) of the group. He's a model but would always do pranks to them- definitely good at it, plus he's also a hacker.

Lee Sungjong whose the group's maknae (youngest) is also a model. He's currently eighteen years of age, turning nineteen by September third and a soon to be fourth year college student taking up Business Administration together with his gang.

'Foolish kids. Can't believe they get to bully me. Tsk! Tsk!' Is all Sunggyu can think of before heaving a sigh. He then decided to just sleep to cool down.

"Gang when's the enrollment?" Dongwoo suddenly asked everyone.

"Next week, I guess?" Sagot naman ni Hoya

Dongwoo is the happy virus of the team. He's childish, clingy and sometimes stupid plus he would always laugh whenever he find something funny which happens to be invisible to the other teams

"I'm certain that it would be a living hell again. Tsk!" L scoffed.

L which is Myungsoo's nickname is the coldest person you'll ever know. And mind telling everyone that he's a casanova? Well, he's a model too and just like Sungyeol, he's a hacker. They're best friends anyway.

"Yeah right!" Sungyeol agreed with him and everyone else did.

"Nasan nga pala si Loser Gyu?" Tanong ni Namu.

"Sa taas. Baka natutulog." Sungjong simply answered.

"Oh-kay. Hey Hoya let's play pingpong." Namu grinned at Hoya.

"Sure and better prepare to lose." Hoya answered him with a smirk.

They're now playing pingpong and Sungjong is just playing something on his phone.

"Tsk! I'm getting bored here. What time is it? Shoot! It's 2:26PM already? Aish! What's taking them so long?" Is all that Sungjong can mumble to himself.

"I've told you, you'll lose." Hoya's voiced boomed from a corner of the room.

"Tsk! May makakatalo din sayo bro." Sagot naman ni Woohyun.

"Sabi mo eh." Tanging sagot ni Hoya.

"Pupunta lang kami sa mini bar. Sunod nalang kayo kung gusto niyo." Paalam ni Sungyeol sa mga kasama.

"I'll come with you." Saad naman ni Sungjong.

"Kami din. Paki-text niyo na lang si Sunggyu na nasa mini bar tayo." Suggest namn ni Dongwoo.

And now, they are all comfortably sitting on the stools there while sipping their own choice of beverage.

"Wait up, is Sunggyu still asleep? It's already quarter to four." Myungsoo asked them.

"Baka naman hindi na maimulat ang mga mata kaya hindi pa bumababa?" Sagot ni Hoya at nagtawanan naman silang lahat until they've heard a sound of a door being slammed.

"What. Did. You. Say?" Tanong ni Sunggyu sa nanlilisik na mga mata and it's really funny for them because they can no longer see his eyes.

"We both know that you're not deaf. So, I assume that you heard it." Sagot naman ni Hoya as he grinned to Gyu.

"Tss!! Better. Shut. Up." Sunggyu demanded with gritted teeth.

"Ahh! Um guys! Are there any gangs who want a fight with us?" Sungjong randomly asked to divert their attention. Mukha kasing may kuryenteng dumadaloy sa mga mata nila kaya't nagiisip siya ng paraan kung paano sila mapipigilan.

"Hey everyone, let's eat! I'm starving." Biglang saad ni Woohyun saka niya inakbayan si Gyu.

"Yes, let's go! I'm really hungry as well." Dagdag naman ni Dongwoo sabay himas sa tiyan niya to ease the situation.

~•~

"San punta natin next? G.E.? or EliGa?" Tanong ni Sungyeol habang kumakain.

G.E. stands for Gangster's Empire while yung EliGa ay ELIte and GAngster Racing Circuit.

"Sus! Syempre gusto mo sa EliGa kunwari ka pa eh." Sagot ni Sunggyu na mukhang good mood na.

"Tara na at ng makita na ni Sungyeol si Devi." Gatong pa ni Dongwoo sabay tawa.

"Shut up guys!" Sungyeol muttered with a blank face.

"Woah! May karera pala ngayon?" Sunjong burst out after they had entered the place or better to say after they arrived at EliGa.

"Well, sinabi ni Empress na mayroon siyang laban today." Sungyeol answered. He fondly call her Empress while the rest of them call her Devi.

"What time?" Tanong naman ni Myungsoo.

"9PM yata?" Simpleng sagot ni Sungyeol

"Mag-e-eight pa lang naman ah, maaga pa. Andito na ba sya?" Tanong ni Hoya.

"Yeah. Kasi iche-check pa nya yung gagamitin nyang sasakyan." Sagot ni Sungyeol.

"Edi tara na! Ano pa bang hinihintay nyo dyan?" Aya ni Woohyun sa lahat.

"Hey Devi." Sunggyu greeted her.

"Oh! Hi there Sunggyu." Devi greeted him back.

"What brought all of you here?" She added.

"Boredom. You know." Sungjong answered her.

"Then I was just to ease your boredom?" She asked with an arched brow.

"Hehe no, not at all. Please don't you misinterpret it Devi hehehe peace." The kid answered nervously since the person in front of him is really scary when she's angry.

"If you say so. Anyway, the one I'll compete with tonight have a potential, might have a match with me." Devi said randomly.

"I bet he can't beat you." Sungyeol mumbled.

"What can I say? Anyway, I'll make sure none of you will get bored." She joked.

"I know you'll win." That's all Myungsoo has to say.

"Goodluck Devi." Dongwoo and Hoya gave their godlucks as well.

"I won't need luck to win." Devi smirked.

And now they're heading to their seats and of course they have a reserved seat so they can watch the race better than anyone else. You'll get VVIP treatment when your friend is Devi. But, before they can even sit...

"Oh~ What's the Demon Angel's Gang doing here? Is Dark Angel visiting his girlfriend Devilish Empress?" Alecs sprout out of nowhere. They are the Rank 2 in G.E., the Dork Emperors Gang.

"Tsk! How many times do I have to tell you that She. Is. Not. My. Girlfriend." Sungyeol answered him emphasizing the last words and with extreme seriousness. He's really scary when he's like that, 'cause you won't see the childish him. He's always like this when it comes to Devi though.

"I really want to take off that mask off of her and I bet she's that beautiful just like her body. Am I right?" Alecs teased him even more.

"Don't. You. Dare. Lust. On. Her." Sungyeol commands with gritted teeth.

"Mind to tell you that a friend is far more different than a girlfriend." Sungjong interrupted with roll eyes. Not that he's being childish but he need to lighten up the atmosphere because he saw that Sungyeols hand already formed into a fist and it's tightly closed that his hands are turning white already. Sungjong can see how much he's controlling himself not to create a commotion.

"Oh really---"

He was cut off and Sungjong laughed on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the most awaited race for tonight! Our top racer Devilish Empress versus Incognito. A newbie racer known for his great skills! Will he turn over the position?? Let's watch.. In three

"Let's just go to our seats." Tanging saad ni Sungyeol matapos namin lagpasan sina Alecs.
