“ It was only me and my sister Janet that night, we didn't know what lured above our heads till a shadow casted itself against my sister...at that moment I didn't know what to do other than to run , looking up. I saw hundreds of them. The woods, they were haunted. I survived outrunning them but my sister didn't. ”
“ My dog ran of into that same wood, I ran after it but before I could attempt to cross the borders to the other side... I heard a strange howl, the night got visitors from under, crows scattered in mid air and what stole my attention back down were red vicious eyes that glared at me with no remorse. I ran back to my house , and locked all the entrances. Skidding pass the windows my heart crushed, my spines cold. My eyes tardily turned to the window beside me. It was my dog, over eight feet tall, now a hideous lycan .. it was ... glaring at me with murderous intent. ”

EL’ BUFFON'S RESTAURANT.
Emeraldville top class restaurant, for the rich to dine and show of their wealth. No poor man could spend a dime here nor step in to eat except to come requesting a job. Extravaganza was the restaurant stand. Huge and attractive. Chandeliers decorated throughout the rood, giving a deep red glow that enveloped the restaurant.
A child who dined with his parents stopped feeling bored, his eyes went straight for the door ,staring at it like he could just leave the dinning table and exited the place for some fresh air.
Outside the restaurant, so many civilian were found laying dead, drowned in their own pool of blood. Body parts scattered around the road. Vehicles decapitated. Blood and fire tainted the area with no remorse.
Abruptly; something dropped in front of the entrance of the restaurant, a loud stomp that shook the building. Over seven feet tall, black and furry. It looked like a lycanthrope or it is a lycanthrope. Behind him marched four giant wolf beast , growling. Showing their fangs and their hideous faces.
On the inside, the boy still kept staring at the door, lost in thoughts. His mom tries to wake him from his thoughts but before she could reach out to him.. The door and the walls in it sides shattered with absolute force.
Everyone screamed at the top of their voice. The four beast launched into the restaurant devouring the civilian. The boy who awakened from his thoughts found his parent head detached from their body, sheared in half. Horrified he wasn't , he got up from his seat and observed his surrounding. The massacre taking place, the numerous deaths that happened.
He stopped his observance , feeling a strange force behind him. Slowly turning to see what hailed behind him, overwhelmed by the being he saw, the lycanthrope. Tranquil it was but the lad wasn't. He lost his mental balance holding his head tightly moving backwards, yelling in pain, anger , frustration.
Abruptly he morphed unexpectedly, his human form withered away slowly, black hideous furs grew on him. Fangs and claw emanating from his jaws and palms. He exploded turning into the wolf beast. They were now five of this beast and the prime being.
They bolted out of the demolished restaurant ,fading to the dark hearts of emeraldville. Leaving huge marks of their foots behind.

THE HAUNTED WOODS.
The four beasts , the four hideous wolf beast trailed into the haunted woods without hesitation. The Lycanthrope majestically advanced towards it. Taking it time before it entered the haunted woods. Abruptly stopping. It looked strictly to it left, welcomed by multiple red energy beams.
They came like missiles, exploding vastly on contact; knocking him down the road roughly. The ground and it suffered a huge massacre. The Lycan snarled. It wounds healing rapidly. It got back up and glared in a straight path. It assaulter stood there.
From the ascending dust to the shadow of the lad, was it a kid? the Lycan advanced forward but more energy beams struck it pulling it back. It roared again healing. The dust cleared revealing a seventeen year old American lad, donned in a black long tight pants. Matching boots with white lace. A red singlet exposing his average athletic body. His oval face had red eye balls hung on them. A hawk faux hairstyle hailed on him. It was the infamous Ray Wills.
The Lycan launched at him only to be stopped from behind. A long blue solid energy rope construct tied to it right leg. It struggled to free itself but numerous pods surrounded it shooting out this strange blue solid ropes tying it down. Electrifying it or so, the Lycan roared , the pain shot through it body like an unstable rocket.
The American lad quickly look at the haunted woods. He spotted the four beast running right at his direction. His sclera turned void, his irises remained void red. He twisted his neck to the left and back , his hand forward and slowly separating them from one another like he was ripping them apart.
Red Mysterious energies warped around their skin, the lad clapped his hands once and they merged together exploding spontaneously at the entrance. The scratched parts of the woods immediately reconstructed itself leaving the latter overwhelmed by it unknown existence.
He looked at the Lycan as it stared at him with murderous intent. A blue armored figure dropped from above. Unmasking it armored face. “ You shouldn't have killed them all, we could have turned them back to the humans they once were. ”
He walked pass him and squatted near the Lycan. “ As you can see Johnny I can't reverse the effect this Demon placed on them. And am beyond the habit of asking for help already from the top magic practitioners. ”
Johnny faced him. “ Oh really? what do you plan on doing with the Lycan then? ”
Ray eyes reverted back to it dark pace , levitating of ground abruptly, a red circle emerged round it glowing immensely. “ Eradication. Before more individuals becomes something they are not. ”
“ How about we trade? ” A hoarse deep voice emanated from behind. Ray turned , Johnny got smacked out of the way. Before Ray could anticipate anything he got thwarted away from the Lycan, crashing roughly against the ground.
The red circle covering the Lycan vanished. The pods disintegrated. The Lycan rose with a belligerent stance and leapt into the woods without hesitation. Ray who struggled on his knees observed thoroughly with his red void eye socket , he unknowingly sights a seven feet tall metallic like entity.
“ You shouldn't have come. ” It finally said something and it only made Ray freak out. The being growled abruptly and leapt on him...

ELSEWHERE- EMMANUEL'S HOME.
“ Fried Egg.. Toast bread.. a cup of tea... all set to battle thy harmattan.. ” Emmånuêl washed his hands thoroughly in the wash hand basin. A earpod situated in his ears. A short towel laid on his shoulders. Taking it with a swift he dried his hands and took a tray that entailed few slices of toast bread with fried egg on it. Then a mug of milk tea beside it.
He exited the kitchen, making his way into the living room. Settling down on the couch, placing the tray on the brown table and began eating. Tranquility loomed the house. Clearly it meant only him lives here.
He swallowed the bread and egg after few chew , takes a sip of his hot milk tea and allows them all to ignite inside of him. He was about to take another when the alarm went off, buzzing annoyingly in his ear drums. He dropped the slice and got up to turn the alarm off.
Heading towards the door , he picked his black bag on his way out that laid on the door k**b. Donning it. He exited his tranquil home to the next possible tranquil streets of Emeraldville. He bridge the school premises , unknown to him he didn't recognize students and civilians running till he looked away from the ground.
“ Is that... a demon? no It can't be. ” Emmånuêl moved backwards , about five feet away from his former position. “ Why today of all days?! ”
The students moved as fast as they could possibly move, escaping the terrific school. Demons now hosted it. Some students unable to make a great escape have their selves stolen by the demons and made vessels.
People ran , away from the school premises but Emmånuêl on the other hand was busy observing everything play out. Then a high shock intercepted him. He shot out of his bed in the middle of the night sweating heavily. He looked to his side his phone had several miss calls from an unknown number.
On analyzing the number he discovers it belonged to Johnny Rhodes. “ Why calling me at this late hour? Forget his calling.. me having weird dreams lately seems to never stop, Great... he sent a video message. ”
He taps on the message , yawning as he needed more of his sleep.
Meanwhile back at the haunted woods, the demon like creatures rammed Johnny, attempting to devour him. He struggled to blast them but Hus system failed to respond , he made a loud cry , unsure if he would survive.. just then.
BOOM!! THOOM!!!! a malevolent fist connected with one of the demons face that sort to devour Johnny. The whole scenario slowed down showing the intense hit that was made. The omnidirectional wave that came after it.
Everything resumed back to normal. The demon exploded uncontrollably. The other demons that were on top of Johnny stopped what they were doing and watched in wonder. The dark veil of the night might have covered his face but on landing, Johnny caught a glimpse of Emmanuel's face but he didn't believe it.
The demons ran at him Immediately without wasting anytime. Jumping against him. Emmanuel moved back a bit with his eyes fierce on the demons, both fist clenched! He began hitting them one by one. Sending them Into different direction, exploding against their impact.
One was left, and it seemed scared. Johnny rose up , his armor fully repaired and functional. The demon so terrified it wasn't aware of what was going on behind it. It was lost in the presence of Emmanuel.
THOOM! It exploded. Johnny disgustedly walked across the demons death point to Were Emmanuel stood. “ When I sent that video, I was expecting the police force and not some you know... ”
Emmanuel rolled his eyes balls and turned away from Johnny, heading down a straight path to were Ray was currently being held. “ Well , this ain't Emmanuel either. Get on with it. ”
“ Wait.. huh? ”
“ Emmanuel is a teenager with multiple personality disorder Mr. Rhodes not to mention an incidental event led to the birth of us having abilities of our own.. forget the story he made for us, that another story. ”
He abruptly shook his head and he went ablaze. A tight crimson red suit engulfed him. Tiny fragment of flames designed it. His face , his head, caught in the flames. He turned his head halfway to Johnny. “ Malevolent Emperor is Out, Hellspawn Emmax is in. ”
“ Wait ... if you guys are in control then what happens to Emmånuêl? is he aware of what going on now because am getting freaked out. ”
----------------- ------------------
Ray laid unconscious in a red glowing circle. Demons trying to devour him but the force in him didn't permit. Hellspawn Emmax came from behind; one hand outstretched. The demons burned their way back to nothingness. Johnny levitated in, darting of at Ray.
“ Ray!. ” He squatted , “ Wake up buddy.. ”
“ Guess that over. ” Hellspawn uttered.
“ It not over ....till I say so. ” The same hoarse voice emanated from behind. Hellspawn slowly turned, only to abruptly get grabbed in the neck , pulled up and smacked back down with concrete force. Then the being holding him vanished into thin air leaving Johnny in dismay.
Emmanuel returned back to normal, Hellspawn ran of. The being grabbed him by his leg and ran down the red mysterious space. “ Stay away from the haunted woods!. ” It bellowed. A blood portal opened and jumped into it. Appearing elsewhere In Greenland City. Thrashing Emmanuel against tared roads of the highway.
Vehicles try to avoid hitting him. The being stood miles from him, watching Emmånuêl helplessly trying to save himself. Getting on his feet. The being pummeled at him , taking him by his chest. “ You... have been warned. Resist the haunted woods. ” aggressively tearing him in his chest and vanishing with him once more.
THOOM! The red portal opened , vomiting Ëmmäñüël upon the four runner black jeep. Groaning in mass amount of pain. “ ..Okay, that.... .....was ......crap!. ”

LATER- WITHIN A HIDDEN FACILITY.
“ Who was he? ” , Emmanuel asked bandaging the wounds on his chest. Grunting as he did. “ ...wasn't expecting such a being to erupt from the woods. Like it was some guardian of it. ”
“ I don't know. But I know he's among the dark forces of the haunted woods. ” , Ray replied walking towards the large quantum screen TV hung on the wall. , “ Perhaps you are right; some guardian, a pet dog. Forget the demon dog, this creature is the true evil here. ”
“ Doesn't make any sense. How he moves and do all those stuffs. Most especially the fact that we can't trace him or pick up any close energy signatures. The damn satellite can't even pin him. ”
Johnny lamented watching the large screen rummage the globe.
Ray pulled a book out of thing air and read through. He hummed when he saw the creature's picture in it along with some detailed explanations. “ Perhaps our hunt just got more complicated... the creature that nearly got Emmanuel killed; is a Darkorath..one of the most complex entities in the book of monsters. We can't stop him, the book even has no spell to tame it. ”
Emmanuel grunted fi***ng his palm. “ Great!. Now what? ”
“ We drop the chase on it. And focus on finding demon dog first , time is running out , the more demon dog corrupts souls with it presence the more we draw closer to an apocalypse. We must act fast from here onwards. ”
“ Affirmative.. I will get all reports on demon dog so long. ” Emmanuel stood up and exited the room.
Ray , without alarm vanished. Johnny on the other hand got up from his seat , taken his jacket moving towards the entrance of the facility. “ Let call that day, I got a suit to design. ” He smirked making a gesture with his hand. Turning of the lights. While he exited the facility.
