the will of the red demon

Pete strolled through the city as it was getting rebuilt, a boy and his dad walked up to him "excuse me sir, may my son have your autograph?" Pete was confused as he was just being your average Joe, but since Pete didn't wanna say no to a kid he grabbed the pen and signed it "alright have a good day lil guy and same to you sir." Pete continues to walk along and as he turns back he sees the kid jumping with glee. Pete walks into the grocery store and grabs a plastic bag.

as he grabs the things he needs like all in one body wash, microwaveable mini pizza and some bottled water "that'll be $30.00." Pete pulls out a mini purse and he searches for the money *chnk,chnk* his hand rummaged around the purse like a raccoon with trash, the roof of the store is torn off "huh?" Pete looks up to see a giant hand, "oh it's a giant villain, hmm must of escaped the highest powers grasp anyways here you go..." he looks around to see everyone has left the building "good grief, guess I gotta take care of this thing first." he leaves the money on the counter and runs up the giants arm with his items still in the bag "why must you villains interrupt us even when we're doing things like shopping." his cape fly's in the wind "output 60% strong armed abomination!!" he shouts before slamming his fist into the giants hand, "what the hell?!" the giant yells as Pete continues to run up to his face, Pete bounces up towards the giants face and he pulls out his metal bat, he then covers it in his red aura "output 70% batter out!" he then collides his bat with the giant, sending him to the ground with Pete standing on its head, bat in hand "thank you for saving us!" a crowd of people praise him "you can have anything you want from this store for free." the owner said " thank you, thank you, but there is no need to praise me because I'm just your average Joe with a super power." Pete jumps off but then falls into a bottomless pit "and it's a dream, ha I should of know it was all to unrealistic." Pete looks around in the void as he continues to fall "5% output." he slams his bat into the void and creates a crack, he then grabs the crack and prys it open like trying to get something out of a dogs mouth, he then throws himself into it and falls onto the ground, he looks around to see he's in a hospital room "ah shit." he says before seeing Dan appear in front of him "yes I know, this is a sight you don't exactly want to lay your eyes upon but sadly you must." dan makes a seat and sits down and all they see is Davie in the hospital bed, his monitor filling the silence, he checks his phone to see no reply from Pete and he still sits their with infinite amounts of patience "he waited for you, hoping that his one and only friend would be there for him." dan said calmly "how did you know this?" Pete asked with enough confusion to fuel a plane "a member of the zodiac's works here and has eyes everywhere, but back to the topic on hand." dan summons chains to hold Pete by the neck and arms "so tell me Peter, why were you not there for your friend when he was about to die in the next ten minutes?" dan smirks "I was fighting someone." dan could tell that was a poor excuse, he makes the chain pull Pete back "tell me the truth and only the truth." dan stands up and looks down on Pete "now tell me why you weren't there for your friend "I was..." Pete starts to speak softly "speak up Jackass!" dan kicks Pete in the face "I was too scared to see him go! I knew he was bound to die ever since he was diagnosed and the only thing I could do is just watch slowly watch him die!" Pete has his red aura cover his arms and his neck "wow... that fucking sucks for you, Haha!" Dan laughs at Pete's plight and makes more chains wrap around Pete's body *clink,clink* Dan forms something that seems like a blade with a wire and dan stabs it into Pete's back "well If you need me I'll be living in the real world and you will be stuck here, cya later red bull." Dan's body slowly starts to fade away and Pete can only watch as he leaves.

Dan wakes up in his bed with London on her web and Bernard, London was a half human half spider, she had a horn coming from her head and the lower body of a spider, she was wearing a T-shirt with a capybara on it, bernard was wearing a gas mask covering their face, cloak, maroon jacket and shorts "morning sleepy head." London had some of her thread holding her phone as she scrolled through it "morning, so how are you two?" dan asked rubbing his eyes "well I'm doing good, trying to find a song I like." "but doesn't your playlist have all your favourite songs?" dan stands up from his bed and puts on his red shirt "well yeah, but I want like a specific song ya know." she said still skipping songs "and how are you Bernie?" dan asked grabbing his hat "same old, same old I guess, still feel like I always do." dan nods in agreement "yeah know how ya feel there." he puts his hand onto Bernard's shoulder "don't worry Bernie, ya still got me." dan says comforting bernard "thanks Dan, I'm glad I've got you." "same to you lad, alright I'm off now, love ya London." dan blows a kiss toward London and London throws it back at him.

Dan walks with Lucy down the street "so Dan I heard you trapped that bald man, I'm proud of you." dan blushes "aw thanks boss." as Dan passes the ladies in the street he tips his hat at them "m'lady." he passes a muscular man with black hair, a stubbly beard, tank top and baggy pants "m'lad."

they enter a book store and have a look at the selection "hey boss I think they have a real gold selection of books." dan said smugly "are you some sort of book lover?" "well I do like to read a fanfic here and there." Lucy looks in disappointment "remember when I said I was proud of you?" "yeah." "I take it back." dan looks to the ground in defeat, Lucy grabs a book and heads to the back of the store. "greetings Mr Linfer and this must be your friend." the man was tall, black hair, sunglasses, a cigarette in his mouth and he was wearing a suit like he was in a interview "so what brings you here to my establishment?" Lucy sits down with Dan standing behind him "do you come here to trade or to talk business?" the man asked "well I'm here to talk with you Zeke." Lucy takes his bowler hat off "may I just say Mr linfer, ever since you and your gang did that massacre you've become more wanted as of late." Zeke said looking at his phone "thank you, but please stop your flattering me." Lucy said fidgeting with his hands, Dan's photo starts to ring "oh I'll take this outside." he walks back out into the front of the store. "so the highest powers, are you willing to help me take them out?" Lucy asked putting one leg over the other. "well for the right price I'm willing to have some of my men help." Lucy smirks "well you see I have got thousands of dollars stored up but that's for my gang, so how about we do some negotiating." Zeke smiles "sure, I'm willing to do some negotiating with the most infamous criminal of America." Zeke takes his cigarette out of his mouth and crushes it in the ash tray "well you see, my friends have lives outside of just working for me and dome have family to take care of, Phil has a girlfriend who he's gonna propose too, valerie has to take care of her mom, Dylan has a younger brother to take care of and so I need that money because my friends lives matter more than mine." Zeke seemed interested in what Lucy had to say "how sweet, however I have a family to feed too." Zeke has one of his goons pass him his magnum "look we both have friends and families, well I know you haven't got a family after that whole incident when you were just 15." Lucy remembers the incident at his highschool and with his family "they deserved what happened to them, maybe in their next life they shouldn't have talked shit about me." Zeke polishes his magnum with his polka dotted handkerchief "well I'd hate to break the news to ya but not everyone is gonna like you, now look I know you didn't have the best childhood with people making fun of you and your power, you were an outcast like me." Zeke places his handkerchief back into his breast pocket. "how did you become an outcast?" "well I was the weird kid in school, lisp, jagged teeth, acted all cool ya know stereotypical weird kid, except there was this guy who had the school bully at knife point and what did I do you may be wondering. nothing, I just walked away and then next day he was dead with 30 stab wounds." Zeke takes his sunglasses off revealing scars on his eyes "so the bully's friends looked for me since I was the only person they could take their anger out on." Zeke places his sunglasses back on "so I used my power to fight back." Zeke turns his arm into sand and then grabs his magnum, *BANG* he fires a bullet through his arm but then the sand on the floor go back into his body by entering through his leg, the hole is then filled by sand "so I filled their lungs up with sand, they all coughed up grains of sand until they dropped." Zeke turns his arm back to normal "hmm well all I need you to do is take care of someone called Pete daniels." Lucy said places his bowler hat back on to his head "oh sure I'm down to do that, aslong as I'm getting paid." he stands up with his lanky legs making him stand tall. his goons place his coat onto his body with it around his shoulders "boys, I need my killing cigar." his goons place a Cuban cigar in his mouth and light it "you have a killing cigar?" "you don't?" Zeke walks out the door past Dan on the phone "yeah okay, love you too mom." dan said smiling "hey Lucy's goon, tell ya boss that this job is free." Zeke walks out of the bookstore.

he walks down the street with the police bowing down to him "mister Francis, how may we be of service?" Zeke takes a puff of his cigarette and blows out a puff of smoke in the shape of a skull and crossbones "all I need is a ride to see a certain someone." the policemen let the man into their vehicle "so sir hows business been?" one of the officers asked "boomin." the two officers stay silent, Zeke turns his hand into sand and rubs the bud his cigarette in it. "sir why did you do that? are you gonna kill us!?" Zeke chuckles "no not at all, I just didn't want to bother you two with the smoke." Zeke returned his hand back to normal, absorbing the grains that fell off him "I sincerely apologise for the mess." as the car rides on past the people, who he looks in disgust "can't stand the the thought of a normal life, they should add a bit of... piazza into their life or have a extraordinary one." the two officers gulp "y-you can say that again sir." "so true." they keep driving along in silence, in fear of what Zeke may do to them "oh I think this is the place boys, well I'll be seeing ya later." Zeke steps out of the car and walks into the building, he heads to the receptions "excuse me miss, do you know where one called Pete daniels?" he asked politely "yes hes on the second floor, room on the left." she says sending Zeke upstairs "thank you." he walks upstairs and let's himself in, he grabs a chair and sits next to Pete's unconscious body, he dials up Lucy "hey, tell your lackey to undo the thing." lucy taps Dan on the shoulder giving him the go. Pete wakes up but hes met with a blade made up of sand right at his neck. "....." Pete is silent, he doesn't even try using his power "not even using your power?" Zeke said in disappears "ha, I won't be needing to use it." Pete grabs Zeke by the neck catching him off guard, but Zeke is confused as he stabbed Pete as soon as he attacked "tell me who you are and what you want with me?" Zeke doesn't respond, Pete has his red aura surround his hand and it starts to heat up, Zeke turns his whole body into sand to escape Pete's grasp. his formless body slithers away from Pete, his body them turns back to it's normal form "calm down kid I was just joking!" Zeke said in defence "you say as you literally had a sword made of sand near my neck, I call bullshit!" Pete punches a hole through Zekes torso causing Zeke to trap Pete "look if you just let me explain!" Zeke begged "alright, explain before I turn your body to glass!" Zeke let's Pete go and they both sit down.

"alright look I'm the highest sand, apart of the highest powers and ever since I betrayed them they've been chasing me, but since my power is awakened means that they can't kill me unless they get the boss shigi to take away my power and then I'll be executed." Pete stops drinking his water "what did some sand get in your drink?" Zeke asked "no its just that name sounds familiar, was he blind aswell? and did he break out of prison?" Pete asked curiously "yeah he did, wait are you telling me you met him before?" Pete nods "fuck hes out of jail." Zeke worries about shigi breaking out of jail "fuck, fuck, fuck! kid I gotta get outta here." Zeke walks to the door but the door knob turns to string "oh no." sasha turns the window to string and then walks through it with Oden and Mathew, sasha wraps the string around Zekes neck "not so fast sand boy." sasha pulls him back "hey that's my door and window!" the wall spurts out strings to hold Pete in place, "Mathew keep an eye on him." Oden said cracking his knuckles, Zeke looks around Pete's apartment "I swear if you break anything, I will pummel you." Zeke turns his torso into sand and he shoves his arm into it and pulls out a cigarette "it would seem I'm in a bit of a pickle." the string cuts Zekes neck, Zeke puts the cigarette in his mouth "maybe I should just accept that I'm gonna get executed, but I'm afraid my story doesn't end here!" Zeke said before having a chunk of his head blown off "thanks dickhead!" sasha said looking at a rooftop, theres a woman with blue hair, scar on her eye, green eyes and a M1 garand in her hands "shut it silk worm, God why did dad not wear a condom when they were gonna have you." she reloaded her garand and there was a satisfying ping as the shell flew out. "at least mom wanted me!" sasha retaliated with quickly "hey can you two not fight," Zeke slowly repaired himself "this is kind of like, my moment ya know and I don't like how you're dulling my sparkle." Zeke smirks "now can you please let him go." he points over to Pete "fine." the strings let Pete go and he runs away with a antique cup in hand.

Zeke jumps out of the window onto the hard, cracked, paved road "come on, let's brawl." Oden sits down with Mathew and watches the fight unfold, Mathew grabs his old 3ds and plays pokemon Y. "woah people still use 3ds?" Oden said with a hint of happiness "well I use it, i don't know about anyone else but i mostly use it because it brings back some good memories." Oden and Mathew smile at each other. Zeke stands miles away from sasha, smoking his cigarette "your move." "it's a shame, I really liked you ya know." sasha pulls her hands away and makes a basket of thread, Zeke was about to fire a sand bullet at sasha until they hear Oden and Mathew shout "apologies master!" they both look to see shigi, the highest power standing right infront of them, he had a shirt with a sloth on it, pajama pants, furry slippers and a bed head, he yawns "morning." Zeke grows frustrated just by the sight of shigi "you have the nerve to show up, even after what you did to my father!" Zeke turns his entire body into a sand amalgamation with blades, hands and sand machine guns, his face melting "plenty don't bother me, I just woke up." shigi waves his hand and slices Zeke Into rows of cubed sand, but tendrils come put of the sand aiming for shigi's head *ting* they bounce off "what the hell?" shigi yawns out of boredom "I should get this over with quickly." beams of energy emit from shigi's fingertips and he splits Zeke up into more piece's "cube barrier!" he forms a cube barrier to hold Zeke whilst he still laid in his sand form "alright I'll just send you to the jail place and I'll decide what to do with you, I can't really be bothered with you." chains surrounded the box and another bubble was made around the box and it is then teleported to somewhere unknown by anyone. Pete smirks as he walks over to shigi "wait a minute... I remember those footsteps!" Pete runs up to shigi and hugs him "shigi!" Pete looks at shigi "you never told me you were the leader of the highest powers!" the rest of the highest power are confused but worried for shigi, "oh can we fight again!?" shigi nods "hell yeah!" Pete right hooks shigi letting their battle commence.

Pete hits shigi and barrages shigi with thousands of blows, but shigi dodges each blow one by one "geez Pete you've became rusty." shigi's picks up a rock and throws it at Pete but Pete breaks it, Pete bounces from a wall then towards shigi, but he clashes with shigi's fist "nice try but I saw that coming." shigi kicks Pete to the side but he somehow dodged it mid air (shit I missed) Pete has his aura turn into a strange form and shigi feels the energy bursting off Pete, "100% output strong striker!" Pete rushes at shigi "copy." shigi copies Pete's power and whips his leg towards his fist, causing the Oden, Mathew and sasha to be blown back. buildings crumble to the ground, cars land on their back and glass shatters. the two stop Fighting and shigi can feel his leg burning, his pants torn at the leg with a burning scab on it with steam coming off it, Pete was completely fine and he doesn't feel a thing. "nice one bro." Pete and shigi high five and then shake hands "also can you like... fix my apartment?" shigi repairs the broken apartment and Pete walks back into it. "cya later." shigi said before walking with his subordinates, "highest shot, come down." the highest shot drops down from their spot "yes sir." she hoists her rifle on her shoulder "you could of shot Zeke ya know." sasha said "shut it bitch." she said in anger "now girls stop fighting and please just get along." the highest shot blushes "y-yes sir." sasha smacks her sister on the back of her head.

Pete walks over to his bed flops onto it and falls asleep peaceful.
