Encounter

            Saturday morning, 8:30 a.m. The sun rises again in the city of Douala. Mr. Nniemelek had gone to a business convention in Europe, Donnay and Kellies came over to Ruth’s house so as to spend the week end with her. Since that sudden event, Ruth’s mind has been wondering about Kcriss words: “You have nothing to do here; I’m giving you a week to quit”.

Kellies: “Geez… I can’t still believe that He could tell you such a thing. You just found a job and He wants you to quite?!”

Donnay: “That guy is not normal, although he is (hot), he’s a junk deep in mind” (Eating chips)

Ruth: “Yeah but…”

Kellies: “B      ut what?!...”

Donnay: “Hey… aren’t you the one who was seeking for that job for the past eight months? Ru, you ought act as a woman and face him off!!”

Isabelle: “Your friends are right you know… if I can give my opinion…”

Ruth: “Did you paid an entrance fee before taking part in this meeting?”

Isabelle: “Huh? If you girl desired it to be so private, your door had to be shot. Ok I got to go; Oli went to the park with Miss Carole. See ya! Don’t forget your appointment with Pastor Lawson at 12 a.m! (Rushing down stairs)

Kellies: “Well, as for me the only thing I can tell you is that we got a new well paid job and no stupid dude will make meet quite”.

Donnay: “Yep except he’s full with cash of course” (Making a wink)

Ruth: “Sometimes I do really ask myself whether your heart is in the form of flesh or a crocodile skin”

Donnay: “Hey!!! That’s not funny!” (Throwing a pillow on Ruth)

All the three ladies began to laugh, although such a small instance of fun, Ruth’s mind wasn’t in peace and apart from Kcriss cold and harsh words, she couldn’t forget that weird and pressurized feeling when that young man was entering the lifter as well as those inhuman eyes. Many other questions began to rise in her mind; she undressed and went to take a shower.

(USA, Abnormal Investigation Bureau Head Quarter, New York)

Agent: “Miss here is another report from the SA branch, it’s the same case as the others “. (Handling the report)

Jearim: “I see (speechless for a while). They have decided to start the first move…”

Agent: “From the details, all family members of the girls kidnapped where crucified on a “reversed cross”, and arcane as well as dark magic circles where found on the sites”

Jearim: “Having diversed names but in Russia they used to be called the “Triple Six’s Wrath”, 50 years before Ivan III also known as the great became the first Tsar, they tried to cause chaos, but the Christian Order intervened and stopped their mischief, they said that lots of people died all crucified in a “Reversed Crossed” manner, I always thought of it as a myth”. (Shivering)

Agent: “Could it be that they are the same ones releasing the demons from “Inferno”?”

Jearim: “Surely, it shouldn’t be a surprise with all those alchemic circles; we shouldn’t doubt that some low class demons are wandering in this world and causing trouble”.

Agent: “Erm…Miss, I still wonder… who might be this new member Mister Devoymer has gone to meet in France?”

Jearim: (Scary smile) “She has been sent to us by the Vatican… an old acquatance of him. This shall be interesting”. (Drinking her wine)

Agent: “She…? Do you think the Pope has an interest on this issue?”

Jearim: “For the time being I just think they want to just watch, those Vatican b******s, just sending us that one, surely they minimize the situation or… they are waiting for the right moment to strike”.

Suddenly, another agent entered Miss Jearim’s office and informed them about the major of china town’s dead with some family members, same as the others, and the daughter was taken away.

Jearim: “Still we don’t know their real identity, and their real intention, what’s the link with all those girls and in killing their relatives?!... Cassandra!! Steward!!”

Cassandra (26 years, sergent agent): “Yes Miss?”

Steward (30 years, sergent agent): “Present!”

Jearim: “Listen carefully! I need you two to give to me a detail report on the possible links that may exist either between all the victims of this insane slaughtering, we need to find it as quickly as possible”.

Cassandra: “Do you have a clue?”

Jearim: “I don’t know yet, but if those acts were performed by those I’m thinking who they are, then I got a very bad feeling about the event to come. Damn it!!” (Breaking heart glass on her hand) Summon for me a meeting with the other AIB generals as fast as possible, our pride should not be stain, we should not let the “Elites” from the Vatican intervene, also tell all the agents on the fields to intensify their demon hunt seriously, NOW GO!”

Agents: “ROGER!!!”

(Lyon’s Sewers, France)

Devoymer and Sanchez went to meet their new partner but while at the airport, they heard about a weird number of people disappearing, most of them were homeless fellows. He then decided to investigate on the issue.

Sanchez: “Jeez…I’ve always wanted to come to France on a visit, but I never thought it to be in such a filthy place and it stinks!” (Covering his nose)

Devoymer: “Stop barbling nonsense kid. If you are not happy you can quit I don’t need you any way…” (Switching his cigarette with his lighter)

Sanchez: “Quit even in your best nightmares I won’t…”

Devoymer: “Quiet! We’re not alone”

Sanchez: “But the detector doesn’t locate any abnormal presence!”

Devoymer: “Stay back and hold this” (Giving him a trigger)

Sanchez: “A gun?! Are you crazy? I don’t know how to use them! Hey!”

With a Magnum gun on his left hand, and a dagger on the other. Devoymer rushed to the junction between the two tunnels, as he reached, a blade was about to cut his head, but fortunately, he blocked it with his gun. Although he blocked that hit, the violence of the blade caused an after effect on the background behind Devoymer. Tearing the walls of the tunnel as the craws of a beast, then he looked up and saw that it was a woman of about 29 years in age, long fair blonde hairs and fair blue eyes, with a hot sexy body, but with an aura as the winter season in Germany. The lady was surprised that her attack was easily blocked, she then attacked with her second blade, but Devoymer now blocked with his dagger. This time it caused shattering on the tunnel walls but didn’t harm him even a scratch.

Devoymer: (Smile) “Huh? Riss and Trûmmer [Tear and Shatter in Deutsh language]? So you’re still alive hey?”

Lady: (Surprised and shocked) “What?! That dagger and that eye, you devil (shivering)…you BASTERD!!!

An exchange of fists between their weapons began, filled with wrath and tremendous cold aura. As Devoymer was pointing his gun close to her face, she instantly dodged the bullet, as well as him dodging the raging tearing and shattering of her blades.

 Meanwhile Sachez not knowing what was exactly happening was arriving at the battle site. As the encounter continued, Devoymer had no more bullets, the lady then took that opportunity to finish him. But once again, he blocked the terrible attack of the two blades. Unintentionally, part of those sparks went towards Sanchez, moving so fast for a normal human to dodge.

Sanchez: “What the…?

Devoymer:”Don’t say there!!”

Lady:”A kid…?”

As the sparks were about to strike the young man down, an arcane warp opened and swallowed it into another dimension.”It’s dangerous to be in such a battle field you know worst again in one involving such people” said a person with a young female voice from behind Sanchez. Then from the dark a young lady came out.

Lady: “Lornitta…stay away it is dangerous”

Lornitta: “I don’t think so Miss Eva”

Sanchez: “Who the hell are you girls?”

Lornitta: “Your new partners” (wink)

Eva: “No way…”

Devoymer: “You are kidding me…”

Lornitta: “Nope, we were sent by the Vatican to the AIB and I knew about it when I saw the logo on the dude’s coat, he’s quite ugly though”.

Sanchez: “What did you say?! Stupid brat” (Frowning)

Lornitta: “Who do you call brat I’m 18 so…

            A scream from nowhere rose and a scary roar followed deeper in the tunnel.

Sanchez: “Hey, I can detect a high flow of dark aura from the device”

Eva: “It seems that filthy thing went for shopping”

Devoymer: “It seems so”. (Taking another cigarette)

Eva: “I haven’t asked your opinion, we haven’t finished our score yet, once we kill that thing, I’ll deal with you next” (Pointing her sword to Devoymer’s face)

Devoymer: “Kid? Give me my [Magnum X] with the Elysium bullet.

Sanchez: “Ok!” (Removing it from his bag)

Lornitta: “What is that?”

Devoymer: “You’ll see by yourself little Miss, now’s time for real fun”. (Smile)

(Douala, Cameroon, at Pastor Lawson’s church in Bali)

Ruth went to see Pastor Lawson who is a good friend to the Nniemelek family and a good advisor ever since Ruth’s mom passed away, so as to talk about the worries that she’s been having the past two weeks.

Pastor Lawson: “I see, and you say it has intensified itself when you began to work at that… Soul…Cleaner LTD?”

Ruth: “Yes Pastor, but the most weirdo thing about it, is that guy I met there, he told me to quit the job, for he said I don’t belong there…” (Worried)

Pastor Lawson: “Then why don’t you quit my child? Since you’re always worried about that bad feeling, surely that company is not a good one?”

Ruth: “I don’t know, but you know…A part of me doesn’t want to quit, because I need to know certain things first”.

Pastor Lawson: “Ruth? Don’t tell me you fell in love of that young man?”

Ruth: “Never in the world, again I hate impolite people, who think that because he has money can speak to anybody as he wishes even if he is my superior; there are ways of talking to the low subordinates”.

Pastor Lawson: “Surely you’ll be the person who may see the misery under his fury” (Smile) [TL: The Bible; Lamentation 3:1]

Ruth: “What do you mean?”

Pastor Lawson: “Nothing special” (Smiling)

Ruth: “Pastor you won’t stop making fun of me”

Pastor Lawson: “Oh? How nostalgic, your mom used to say it years back, you do really resemble her”.

Ruth: “Why does everyone tells me that? I think I may get pissed off someday with it”. (Smiling)

Pastor Lawson: “Okay then, let’s pray before you go”

After the prayer, Ruth left the church and took a taxi for she had some stuffs to do. While at the same moment, a young stranger out the church area with a hat tried to go in, but he couldn’t. “Hmm…a holy spell?Wise, quite wise Pastor” said the stranger, the spell slightly burnt his right hand. He stepped back and went away smiling, sucking his lollipop. In New-Bell Street, while Ruth’s taxi was passing, she accidentally saw Kcriss bending, surrounded by kids. She stopped the taxi and paid the fare. Since she came from behind he couldn’t see her coming in a gentle manner.

Kid 1: “Hey Kcriss, can you tell us again the story of the Sorrowful Fairy”

Kid 2: “You really like that one”

Kid 3: “But it’s still a nice story though”

Kcriss: “Ok, Ok, I’ll start, soon…”

Kid 1: “Kcriss? I is that your girlfriend?”

Kcriss: “Who…?” (Surprised)

Ruth: “Erm… Hello…” (Slightly scared)

Kcriss: “Okay kids I’ll see you some other time, take this, it will help you out for this week. Don’t use it carelessly! Or else I won’t be happy, got it?” (Giving them some coins)

Kids: “Yup!!!Thanks Kcriss!” (All smiling)

Ruth: “I never knew you could come to this type of place…”

Kcriss: “You again? To what are you referring like this type of place? I see, surely you’re from those type of people, that piss me off. You’re still deciding to work for the firm although I told you to quit?”

Ruth: “Firstly! I owe you nothing for you to begin to tutor me where I should or shouldn’t be, and again if I have to go at least you should give me a tangible reason for that, HEY!!! Do you here me?! (Coming closer to him)

As she was coming closer to him, her heart began to beat more rapidly, and that bad sensation she used to have risen again, Kcriss began to feel uneasy, and rapidly wore his sun glasses.

Ruth: “Again…?” (Worried and shivering)

Kcriss: “Not only that you’re one of them, but you’re as stubborn as when a pig is in rage, well, do as you please”

Ruth: “I really hate guys like you; yes I really hate people like you!”

Kcriss: “So, that makes us even then”.

Kcriss went to his car and went away, but as he was going, Ruth saw as a glim of sadness in his mouth expression, and more again this bad feeling always hitting her, As if she was in the presence of an evil being.“What wrong with this guy? Who does he think he is?” said Ruth. Then, her phone was ringing; it was a text message from Xora who wished to see her so as to discuss some marketing issues for the upcoming “Ngondo” festival [The so called Ngondo is the traditional assembly which brought together all the coastal tribes in Cameroon, Douala, Bassa, Bakoko, Batanga, Yabassi... gathered under the generic name of Sawa People (Sawa means "coastal"). This assembly is the occasion of rejoicings each year at the beginning of the dry season; this is done every November of each year, which is followed by a great festival]. Ruth stopped a taxi then took the direction of her home.

(Back in Lyon’s sewers, France)

            Our new team composed of Devoymer, Eva, Sanchez and Lornitta went deep into the sewers in search of that mysterious creature.

Devoymer: “Anything kid?” (Putting the Elysium bullet into the Magnum X gun trigger)

Sanchez: “It’s not far, according to the device, the creature is not far, just at the end of this part”

Eva: “Lornitta?”

Lornitta: “I confirm it, it’s right in front of us”

Sanchez: “Euh…are you a magician or something like that”

Lornitta: “Nope, an excorcist”.

Sanchez: “Oh…no doubt you act almost like a boy”

Lornitta: “And what do you mean by that?” (Getting pissed off)

Sanchez: “Are your ears blocked, or should I repeat louder!”

Eva: “I could never imagine that the “малыш blooded-глаза” of the dark ages could team someday with a meaningless brat” [малыш blooded-глаза means Blooded-eyed kid in Russian language]

Devoymer: “If you add any more word, I’ll settle you right here and now” (Pointing his gun at her, with a dirty smile)

Eva: “I was thinking the same thing” (Pointing her right blade at him)

Lornitta: “It’s…”*

Sanchez: “Watch out!!!!”

Sanchez held Lornitta’s hand and both jumped in a corner, something destroyed the wall of the sewer turnel, and then a huge beast of about 250 cm tall and of 300 kg with red eyes was in front of them, in a brief description of the appearance, “A gorilla without fur” In its mouth filled with saliver, we could see the arm of its victim still hanging.

Sanchez: “A filthy being? How possible?!” (Scared)

Devoymer: “Who cares? Time to kill…let have some fun!!” (Drawing his dagger)

Eva: “Lornitta, the holy charms!!!” (Running towards the beast)

Lornitta: “O…okay! Hey you give me a hand will ya? Hey?!!! (Giving Sanchez a spank)

Sanchez: “Yeah…what should I do?”

Lornitta: “Just try and place all these charms on the walls”

Sanchez: “Okay…?” (Taking the charms)

            While Sanchez was going to place the charms, Lornitta began to make a holy prayer, an alchemic symbol in the form of a cross appeared beneath her feet. Meanwhile, Devoymer and Eva, were fighting the beast, due to the insufficient presence of light, the Elysium bullets were not very powerful to inflict a real damage. Eva took the advantage of Devoymer as a decoy, then pearsed the left eye of the beast with the “Riss” blade. The beast screams and surprisingly, slapped Eva who due to the impact of the hit, fell deep into the sewer wall, Devoymer then took his dagger and cut off one of the beast arm. But instantly the beast punched him which sent him down in the water.

Lornitta : « Miss Eva !!! »

Sanchez: “Sir Dev!!!!”

Lornitta: “Hurry up and place the charms!!! Or else we’ll perish!”

As the beast was trying to catch Lornitta, a spiritual barrier was surrounding her, which stroke the beast with lightening. That pushed the beast back, but now as the beast saw Sanchez, it now headed towards him.

Lornitta: “Behind you…Oh God, no!!!!”

Sanchez: “Wha….!!!”

As the beast’s punch was about to hit Sanchez, Devoymer came out of the water, with blood on his mouth, blocking the punch with his dagger,

Devoymer: “Hey kid, why’re you so slow, you wanna die?”

Sanchez: “Sir Dev…”

Devoymer: (Dirty smile) « Don’t worry, I’m not destined to die now, and worst of all to be killed by this low rank creature”

Eva: “As you said, if there’s someone to kill you, it shall be me and no one else” (Little scratch on her clothes)

Lornitta: “Miss Eva…”

Eva: (Smile) “Don’t worry Lornitta, I don’t die easily…now then shall we finish this deadly dance?

Devoymer: “Sure!”

Sanchez: “The last charm has been placed!”

As the last holy charm was placed, all the walls in the battle site were filled with arcane and holy symbols that were emitting an intensive bright light. The beast began to be weak and was seeking a way to escape, suddenly; Devoymer’s left eye became more reddish, as blood, then his dagger was filled with a deadly aura. He jumped forward to the beast and cut down the last arm.

Eva: “Now Lornitta!”

Lornitta: “Okay!!!”

{Oh Signore,divino dal livello piu nei cielli lo invitiamo ci assegniamo la vostra resistenza santa. COLPO SANTO!!!!}

Meaning (Oh divine Lord from the high in the heaven we call upon you grant us strength. HOLY STRIKE!!! In Italian language)

Rays of light began to tear the beast body, and then from the top where she was standing, Eva fell towards it, and said a prayer holding her blades firmly.

{Von nichts hingen Sievan den giesteskranken. Tate nab, und sen mit diesen Blatern, I frei kônnen sie von Ihrer Belastung und von qual Ihr Seelenrest im freiden amen. ENDLOSES DUO!!!}

Meaning (From nothing you depended on insane acts, and it’s with these blades I free you from your burden and agony, may your soul rest in peace amen. INFINITE DUO!!! In Deutsch language)

The attack from the “Riss” and “Trûmmer” blades combined into one attack filled with arcane and holy symbols, as it stroke the beast, the tearing process by Lornitta’s attack increased in power. Then Devoymer went in front of the beast and pointed his Magnum X gun at it with a dirty smile.

Devoymer: “Kiss your master’s a*s for me, Elysium; show this dude the straight way back home”

A brighter light ray came out of the gun and strokes the beast in the chest. A hollow appeared and dragged it inside, and then light escaped from the sewers to the exterior and formed a gigantic cross that paid the attention of everyone on the street who were wondering what it could be, which later disappeared.

Devoymer: “Amen…”

Eva: “Now I think we can settle our score right now…”

Devoymer: “Huh…really? Interesting…” (Dirty smile)

Eva: “Yes! It’s time for you to pay for your sins, Devoymer!!!”

Devoymer: “Sure, we’ll fight, but not today and not after you’ve used that technique lately, and I got to settle a major threat before I’ll have to deal also with you, Evalice Kritall von Wanderer or should I say, the white-haired Dame Doppelklinge [Dame Doppelklinge = Twin Sword Lady]” (His red eye began to shine again)

Eva: (Speechless and shivering)

Lornitta: “What is this aura surrounding him…is he a demon..?” (Scared)

Devoymer: “Kid let’s go, it seems that this suspect we’re suppose to catch wasn’t here anyway…what the f**k, that stupid dog got my warmth cigarettes wet”

Sanchez: “O…okay…” (Following him)

Lornitta: “Miss Eva…?”

Eva: “Damn it! Damn it!!” (Hitting the ground on her knees with tears on her eyes)

       (19:50 p.m. Nniemelek Residence, Bonapriso, Douala Cameroon)

Xora went to Ruth’s family residence so as to speak about the Ngondo Festival program coming soon, and on how marketing strategies could be used so as to win the interest of potential customers on Soul Cleaner LTD’s services. After their analyses, Miss Carole served them dinner in the dining hall.

Xora: “Wao! Awesome, this meal is so delicious! Miss Carole is a great cook! Even I hardly obtain such a good result!”

Olivia: “Miss Carole cooking is the best!”

Xora: “Surely you’re mom’s cooking is pretty good too!”

Ruth: “Yeah…Sure it was!”

The place was silent for a while.

Xora: “Did…I say something wrong…?” (Worried)

Ruth: “No it’s just that, our mom died when we were little, and the poor Olivia didn’t know her”.

Xora: “Oh I’m so sorry…I didn’t know about it”.

Ruth: “Don’t worry it’s okay…!”

Olivia: “Mom is in heaven for dad told me that”.

Xora: “Let’s change topic. Tell me…Is it true about what that Kcriss told you?

Ruth: “Please don’t talk to me about that jerk, he doesn’t have smoothness in his way of speaking to a lady, who does he think he is?”

Xora: “I’m quite shocked with that, but it’s really weird, why does he want you to quit…?

Ruth: “Surely he truly hates me…” (Sad)

Xora: “Did you say something?”

Ruth: “Oh…no…nothing! But still I wonder, I don’t know how to explain it, but something deep in me wants to continue, I don’t know what it is but I think it will be revealed to me soon…”

Xora: “Hey! Are you wishing something to happen, I only hope I’ll be good!” (Making a wink)

Ruth: “Yeah…”

Olivia: “Nothing bad will happen to my sis, she has our mom’s rosary and God protects her”

Xora: “You do really have a nice sister there you know”.

Ruth and Olivia went to leave Xora at the main gate, she took a taxi, few minutes later, Kellies, Donnay and Isabelle came back from the cinema. Another day passes in the economic city, Ruth in her room keeps on staring at her mom’s rosary, wishing that she will find the answers to that sensation drawing her as well as the mystery behind Kcriss attitude and glim of sadness.

Meanwhile, at 11:55 p.m. in an unknown area, a group of women had a meeting, and in the center of their midst, a young man was tied up unconscious and naked. Then he wakes up, surprised and terrified, he asked them why he was held but none answered him. One moved towards him with a strange dagger and knell in front of his penis. “Let’s begin the ceremony” said the woman then she cut it off and held it in her hand. Who are they?
