The secret squad.
Light was all around her. It was radiating around her as warm and bright light would do, and Gili sighed in content as her arms wrapped around it. Embracing it, like a child would its mother. Chuckling sounds could be heard as Gili could feel arms embracing her and pulled her into a comfortable hug.
"I am happy to see you too Gili" A voice then spoke and chuckled a little "You come a long way since we spoke last time".
"It is all thanks to you... Miss Ray" Gili responded as she let go of the glowing being.
As she did an appearance of a young woman did come to fore shine. Dressed in a white rope with a halo over her head, her maroon and dark red haired pig tails were swaying in the radiance of light she was giving out. Two sprouted wings in white graying colors were shown at her back and made Gili stare in awe. She was really seeing a real angel here.
"Ray is just fine Gili" The woman spoke and stroke her hair. "It doesn't surprise me that you can finally see me. Now that the power of harmonics is awoken in you. You should be able to". Gili tilted her eyes in confusion at that statement.
"Miss Ray... I mean Ray, why... am I really a descendant of you?" she asked slowly. "The harmonics say I am not, but... the order states I am... I...".
"You should trust your heart Gili" Ray responded and dapped her head again.
"Then I... why did you choose me Ray?" Gili then questioned "Why did you make it so that Declan and I ended up together. Just like you and Zarc...".
"That is indeed a good question Gili. One that have many complex answers" Ray responded "But lets go for the easiest so far. You remind me of myself before Zarc entered my life. That and my foolish little brother needed to understand the concept of love, before my father is ruining him completely. My vengeful father never forgave Zarc for letting me die".
"Wait so you know about Declan's family situation?" Gili questioned bewildered.
"I know many things Gili. I am an angel. However, I am not allowed to help people that does not ask for it" Gili could hear her sigh before she continued "That is also one of the reasonings I chose you. To stop this war. To stop Zarc".
"Wait is he going to do something terrible?" Gili questioned horrified.
"Yep. Something terrible alright" Ray agreed and huffed "Nothing. He is doing nothing at all. He is the demon king. He could stop this in an instance but chooses not to".
"But why? Yuto, Yuya... they are all suffering. Declan is suffering!" Gili uttered horrified.
"Even I am not sure why. He is the demon king, and behaves as arrogant as one, but... he knows I am here and... if he just opened his heart and realize this is not all his fault, we could see each other again".
"Oh, because angels and demons are able to see each other?" Gili mused.
"I have been in his presence many times, but he can neither see nor hear me" Ray said and sighed "I doomed Jack Atlas to a fate as a fallen, when I asked him to come with me to the demon realm. Zarc could see him ironically. Jack tried to speak my case, but him saying my name made Zarc flip out instead, and he demanded that if I had something to say to him, I should deliver it myself. I tried but...".
"The guilt he carries shuts you out" Gili confirmed "That is why you want me to have an audience with him". Ray nodded eagerly.
"Yes but save my little brother first" She stated.
"Do... do you know where he is held Ray? Please if you do, please tell me".
"You know I do, but I am only your guardian angel. I am only here to guide you if needed. You yourself have to choose your journey" Ray advised and kissed her forehead. "Go where your heart leads you Gili".
"If you say so... Ray. I will make you proud" Gili reassured.
"I know you will. Now go back to your friends. They need you. Something is about to happen" Ray urged "Oh and when you feel it is the right time, tell Yuto I wasn't a hallucination back then. He would know what I mean". Then everything dissolved as the dream was about to change into reality.
Time skip.
"Man, I can't believe all this happened while I was gone" Sorano uttered stunned and bit of a lunch of meat from the animals he had slayed.
Gili was imagining this was just chicken, even though she full well knew this was clearly not the case. But the thought about that she was sitting here eating a low rank demon made her stomach turn harshly while at the same time it yearned food. She couldn't be picky.
"Shut up! Don't remind me!" Yuto hissed in a cold tone and tossed the bone angrily to the ground "Yuri got me okay! I let my guard down and Yuri got me. Stop making me remember!".
Gili bit her lip a little worriedly. So much for giving him a message from his long-lost mother. He had clearly had enough problems as it was.
"Here Master Yuto. I found a nice piece of meat for you" Gili could hear Shay say in a weird sort and caring voice that didn't fit him at all.
An action that had Yuto sigh deeply. In Gili's eyes he looked extremely tired right now. An action that had Yuto sigh deeply. In Gili's eyes he looked extremely tired right now. Gili could not blame him. It had been quite the shock for her too, when she had finally woken up and found out everything that happened until now. To see Shay, proud stoic Shay, behaving like this...this different person, were a lot to take in. Sure, Gili was not per say friends with Shay or Yuto before they joined them on this mission, but it was still heart wrecking to see Yuto in such distress.
"Shay... I am not hungry. You go ahead and eat it" he then growled. Shay looked utterly devastated now.
"But I... I picked it for you master. I thought it would make you happy" he then replied with and clung to his arm rather affectionate.
Just like the time he had found a rose outside the cave. He had found it pretty and wanted to give it to Yuto. It was his way of being romantic, but all it had done was making Yuto pale. Pale and extremely angry. He had cursed everything and everyone, that came near him, even Shay, before finally calming down with a few tears peeking out in the corner of his eyes. Yuri's name was cursed on his lips several times, before he went to sulk in the corner of the cave. Gili had been happy Sorano had been there to protect her, or she might have been even more frightened than she already was. This time however...
"Okay that does it! I don't have the time to sit around and wait for this! I am going to get Shay back to normal" Yuto hissed in an angry fit making them all stare bewildered at him. Even Shay.
"Oh, and how are you going to accomplish that?" Sorano then asked.
"By going to the lust clan's premises of course!" Yuto responded firmly.
Time skip.
"But... but what about Declan?" Gili uttered stunned minutes later as both Yuto and Shay had finished packing and were ready to go. Yuto shrugged casually.
"I am sorry. I truly am, but Shay's wellbeing comes first" He replied with. "But don't let me and Shay stop you from finding Declan Akaba in the royal city".
"But, but..." Gili was not sure what to say or do in this case.
It was clear she could not stop Yuto in his new quest. Sorano had sighed deeply but had of course let them go to Gili's annoyance. They were better altogether. However, as luck so happen a loud scream from somewhere, made them all stop up. Not to mention when three people suddenly jumped out of the thin air from who knows where. It was three human looking beings. Two boys and one girl, who were surprisingly kneeling in front of both of them. Gili instantly hid behind Sorano. For some reason those 3 reminded her of her former bullies, Tohma, Kenta and Regina even though they looked very different. The tan skilled girl who was standing in the middle, were clearly the leader. Just like Regina.
"Julia?" Sorano then questioned surprised and made the three of them rise from the kneeling position. "What brings you here?". Julia however surprisingly ignored him.
"I seek Gili Sakaki. Our master has given me specifically orders" the girl then said and met Gili's blue scared eyes.
Gili could feel herself getting pulled forward by Sorano now, who tried to reassure her that it was okay, and that they were on their side. Gili reluctantly met the three newcomers.
"Um... eh Hi. I am Gili. Nice to meet you?" she tried slowly "I am sorry, but who are you?". The little crew lit up and were sending her a bright smile.
"I am so glad you asked" the brown-haired boy said and grabbed his Katara. With quick footwear he began on a long-complicated pose. "The fiercest of the fiercest warriors, I am Kid blade". In the end he was holding up his blade to the right. Supposedly, like a real fierce warrior.
"And don't forget about me" the other boy then yelled up and began posing as well "Brighter than the brightest star ever, I am Dipper O'rion". He ended up almost in the same pose as his comrade, but to the left as well.
"All there is left is me, the leader of this team, who shines just as bright as a diamond. My name is Julia Krystal" the girl said and were now posing by standing on one leg and arms raised like a crane. They continued together "And together we are master Declan's secret Satan soul squad!".
"Um never heard of you" Yuto then said slowly and ruined their cacography completely. That of course made Sorano laugh like crazy.
"Of course not. Notice the word 'Secret'. Their eccentrics are a bit too much for the pride clan to handle. If you catch my drift" he then responded, "After these three, Declan swore to never make any other Satan souls".
"I see" Yuto responded dutifully "I understand him completely".
"I...I..." Gili bit her lip worriedly "Do you... do you know where Declan is?".
"That we do. Actually, he wanted me to give you this" Julia said and were soon having a floating little rainbow-colored crystal in her hands.
It was like she had summoned it out of the thin air, before it floated over and landed in her hand. Instantly a bright light appeared and made Gili, and the others cover their eyes for a second. When they could see again, a certain weird hologram was present in the crystal, and it made Gili gasp surprisingly.
"Declan! Declan! It is really you!". Sure, she could only see his head and nothing more, but the hologram figure did send her a caring look before he nodded.
"Declan?" Sorano then questioned bewildered and looked around "Where? I cannot see him". Gili looked stunned at the others. All of them, besides Julia's team, were looking stunned around too.
"They cannot see me Gili. No one, but people who resonates with my powers can see me. It was a precaution, in case Yuri or his demon pack gets their hands on this".
"But Declan I don't understand. Are you alright? Did you escape? I am so worried about you" Gili uttered with tear-filled eyes.
"Ah my dear Gili. Don't cry. I am here. I am here. At least for a little while" Declan uttered in a soothing voice "Gili, you have to listen to me. It is very important you do. Do you understand?!". At that Gili nodded eagerly.
"I am still captivated, but not in the royal city. Yuri tricked you all into believing that but in reality, he is at my home. At the pride clan mansion...".
"Oh Declan, I will come get you right away" Gili uttered determined, but surprisingly Declan shook his head.
"Gili. You have to make sure you all stay together for now. Finding me is not important. Whatever it takes, make sure you all stay together. Even if that means you have to go with Yuto and Shay for a while".
"But, but... he is hurting you! I felt it and Ray said I should save you...".
"Yes, but Yuri has upped the game. Tell Sorano and Yuto that he has send Sergey after you. They would understand. They will explain". She could hear Declan sigh deeply now "Your safety is more important to me than anything. Go help Yuto restore his lover back to normal. You must promise me that you will not go looking for me. You must promise me you won't come find me on your own. Promise me!".
"I promise you Declan!" Gili replied slowly as she was holding up the crystal up to her cheek and in some way give him a hug. She could hear Declan let out a relieved sigh and she knew he was trying to hug her back too.
"Master!" Julia then suddenly said and made her return to the reality. The secret squad had once again kneeled in front of her and the crystal she was holding. Julia continued "Master, please don't use all of your powers...".
"Yes, your health is very important to us" Dipper added in and Kid continued "So please, let us explain the rest to this girl". Gili could hear Declan hum now.
"Guess they are not incorrect my sweet Gili" Declan then replied in a sad tone. "I just wanted to see you, but I...".
"Go Declan. I don't want anything happening to you" Gili responded with.
"As you wish. Just wish I could explain everything myself". His guilt were shown on his face before he send her a reassuring smile "Don't worry about me Gili. I will be fine. Just keep Julia's crystal on you until we meet again". Then the connection broke and left Gili with an empty lacking crystal.
Time skip.
"Wait Sergey! Yuri can't be serious! Is he trying to kill us all?!" Yuto uttered angrily.
"To be fair, if Declan's entail is true, he only wants to use Sergey to get rid of me" Sorano pointed out "My strength rivals him in full power, but...".
"He did all of this to make us split up!" Yuto hissed angrily as his eyes flickered to Shay again "He tricked Shay into kissing me. All to split us up! I am so going to kill him. I don't care that he is my brother! I am going to kill him!".
"Easy there my prince. We need to find him first and you wanted Shay back to normal" Sorano reminded him. Then went thoughtful "However, why is it important we go to the lust clan's premises? To make a Satan soul remember their former life, you either need time or something to trigger their memories with".
Gili went thoughtful at that too. To be honest all she wanted to do was go out there to find Declan and free him from whatever atrocities Yuri was doing to him. Not this.
"We are at your disposal" Julia said and gave Gili a tiny little bow "It was our master's wishes that we stayed with you to protect you. Not that I understand why. You are just a lowly human".
"Oh, be careful with what you are saying Julia. If your so-called master heard you say that about her, he would kill you for sure" Sorano advised with a smirk "He once almost started a fight with me, because I made her uncomfortable. Oh the things demons wouldn't do for their lovers". At that Gili turned bright red.
"Wait, wait, wait the master loves her?!" Julia questioned and looked surprised over at Gili.
Then she along with Dipper and Kid, began crying. Like they couldn't believe it. Gili were staring in confusion at them.
"Oh, praise the demon king with all his might!" Dipper uttered and hugged Kid and Julia "Did you hear what he just said, the master is in love!".
"Yes! I thought that day would never come!" Kid uttered in a tearful cry.
"You know what that means" Julia uttered and grabbed Gili's hand "Forget making her comfortable. We are pulling all stunts of hospitality. Forward men! To the lust clan's territories".
Then she began running away as fast as she could and all Gili could do was tag along with a big question mark over her head.
A,N: Well, that was that chapter. I am getting closer to Gili and Declan's meeting. Only one boss battle. If you can call it that. But maybe I am cruel, up to you readers, but what actually happened to Yuya? Anyone who wants to know that? Please tell me in the comments. Or any feedback really. Would like what you think of the story as a whole so far too. ;D
