The Slaughter of 1999, Part 2

I close my eyes and begin to concentrate, reinforcing my entire body with my stockpiled Cursed Power (I learned that if I stockpile enough Cursed Power, that I can force my body to enter my half demon mode due to all of the strength flowing through it).

When I open my eyes, the whites of my eyes have turned black, and my pupils white. A pink ring outlines my eyes, as my eyes turn an unnatural bright purple bright purple pigment. Slowly, I stand up as my veins glowing bright purple, surging with stockpiled strength and Cursed Power. With a roar, I swipe my powerful arm outwards, knocking Nick's lightning bolt off of me as curved ram horns, matching the color of my eyes, sprout from the sides of my skull.

"Violet Demon!"

"Woah, Violet…what's that twister form?!" Nick asks as he stumbles backwards a step.

I say nothing as I begin slowly approaching Nick. It's hard to move in my Violet Demon form. I can't control it too well, so I have to focus a lot to keep from losing consciousness.

Nick's eyes widen, probably because he senses my sinister demon Cursed Power. "Violet, you…are you a demon?!" Nick whisper-shouts.

"Only half," I answer, causing Nick to grit his teeth.

"Violet...you shouldn't be flaunting this demon power," Nick nervously replies. "The higher ups in the Slayer Organization…they won't like it."

I simply laugh Nick's comment off.

God, if I could go back in time and change just one thing about my life…I would have made my past self listen to Nick right here.

"Don't worry, I can control myself!" I reply with a smirk. "Let's just get back to the fight!"

I charge Nick again, finding that my strength, speed, instincts, and everything have been greatly increased in my Violet Demon form. And with this enhanced strength …I can win!

Nervously, Nick's hops backwards and aims his hand at me, forming a gun-shape and firing off a bolt of lightning my way. Using my enhanced demon speeds, I hop to the side, dodging Nick's attack, before continuing on towards him. Once in front of Nick, I unleash a flurry of blows on his body. "Heavy Artillery: Devil Rush!"

I then bring my right fist up, stockpiling my stored-up Cursed Power into it, causing my fist to glow purple. "And…Devil Purgatory!" I slam my beefed-up fist into Nick's chest, sending him flying backwards.

"WHAT'S WRONG, NICK?!" I roar, knowing full well that the Slayers in the skybox above can't hear us. "Growing chicken because I'm a demon?! Don't hold back on me! I'm going to beat you now, and become a powerful half-demon Pro Slayer, and show the world that demons and humans can coexist!"

Slowly, Nick stands up, wincing from my punches. "Demons killed my parents, Violet! I don't know how your daily life is, but our two sides coexist!" Nick shouts as he brings his hand into the air again, cracking his knuckles. "I'LL DEFEAT YOU HERE AND BECOME STRONG ENOUGH TO KILL ALL THE DEMONS!"

With a roar, Nick swipes his hand downwards, and just as before, a giant bolt of lighting crashes down from the gray clouds and black sky above, smiting down upon me, and forcing me to my knees again, a painful surge of electricity coursing through my body. I spit out a glob of blood as I'm forced down to my hands and knees from Nick's lightning bolt.

"Dammit…I can't lose now…I still have so much left that I need to accomplish!" I grunt, as I struggle to stand up, even in my Violet Demon mode.

"KILL HIM…" a voice rings through my head.

"Huh? Who said that?" I ask, looking around. Nick and I are the only two in the arena, and the audience is out of earshot.

"KILL HIM…" the ominous, scary voice repeats.

"Who…kill Nick?" I ask. "But why?! He's my friend!"

"HE STANDS IN YOUR WAY…KILL HIM!"

"I don't need to kill Nick!" I wail as I curl up in a ball, covering my ears with my hands. "All I need to do is make him submit to me here!"

"KILL HIM."

"KILL HIM."

"KILL HIM."

No matter how tightly I cover my ears, I can still hear the voice, as clear as a bell, as if someone is speaking to me from within my head. And that's when I realize…that the voice is in my head. That voice…is my demon instincts, telling me to kill he who stands in the way of my goal.

"MAKE IT STOOOOPPP!!!!!" I wail.

I was a fool to use my half demon powers before I'm ready. I can't control them, not one bit.

And as the gray skies above the arena caused by Nick's lighting begin to rain…I lose consciousness.

***

Slowly, Violet stands up, knocking away Nick's lighting yet again. And when Violet fixes his eyes on Nick, they're no longer his own eyes…but the eyes of a demon.

Violet, deactivate that form before the higher ups figure out you're a demon!" Nick orders as tendrils of lightning crackle between his fingertips. "If not, I'll have to shock you unconscious!"

But what Nick doesn't realize, is that Violet is already unconscious. Violet says nothing as he takes a step towards Nick, towards his prey.

"Violet?" Nick asks, receiving no response.

Violet takes another rickety step towards Nick.

"Violet?! This isn't funny!" Nick snaps.

Still nothing.

"Alright…here I come!" Nick shouts as the tendrils of lightning crackling between his finger tips intensifies, as Nick aims both hands out Violet, sending a powerful bolt of lightning flying his way. Violet knocks Nick's bolt of lightning away, without so much a single shred of effort or injury.

"Nick…" Violet wails, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Violet, what's the matter?!" Nick cries.

"Stop me…run away! I can't control my own power!"

Nick's eyes widen.

With a roar, the unconscious Violet charges Nick, his demon half resuming total control, yet again. In response, Nick's entire body begins crackling with electricity, as he charges Nick back.

Nick aims a Bumblebee Sting Violet's way, who counters with a Cursed Power Barrier reinforced punch, the two attacks colliding in an explosion of purple Cursed Power and pale yellow lightning, the strongest explosion of attacks seen yet at the 1999's NYIC. Nick struggles against Violet's attack, but the Violet Demon wins instantly, knocking Nick away without a second thought. With a roar, Violet leaps towards Nick, plumbing him with punches until Nick falls unconscious

"Chairman, we have to do something!" One of the Slayers in the Chairman's skybox desperately pleads.

"Yes, let us," the Chairman, Owen Solomon, calmly replies, before reaching out and grabbing the microphone away from the announcer. "All nearby Slayers, come to arena one and break up this fight immediately, that is an order from your Chairman," The Chairman booms into the mic. "Capture and restrain Violent Reeves, Slayer Akuma."

"That boy is a half demon!"

At once, every nearby Slayer around jumps into arena one, headed over to Violet to stop them. Meanwhile, other Slayers are busy evacuating the audience. But Violet punches straight through each Slayer with demon speeds, instincts, and strengths that the Slayers aren't able to counteract. Violet's punches rip holes straight through the Slayer's backs. And as Violet retracts his arm out of their holes, he yanks out the Slayer's hearts. With a mighty squeeze, Violet pops the hearts, as the Slayers' bodies limply fall to the ground.

After fighting and killing dozens of Pro Slayers, Violet makes his way into the audience, and begins slaughtering those who haven't been able to escape yet, as well as the Slayers responsible for evacuating then

Nearly a hundred people were killed by the time Nick woke up.

"Ohhh…" Nick groans as he sits up and rubs his head. But when Nick remembers Violet, his eyes widen. "VIOLET!" Nick cries as he jumps up and turns to face the half demon. When Nick lays eyes on Violet, he sees him drenched in blood, and standing on top of a pile of corpses.

"Violet…" Nick growls. "I won't let you do this any longer! You asked me to stop you, and if I need to…I'LL KILL YOU NOW!"

Nick turns up to the black skies above him, still pouring rain and crackling with lightning, as he thrusts his hands upwards. A giant bolt of lightning crashes down upon Nick, as if his body is a lightning rod. "I've been cultivating this move for months now…" Nick grunts in between waves of pain from being shocked by his mighty lightning bolt. "I was saving it to defeat you in the final round…"

"MY RIVAL!"

The lightning bolt then begins to absorb into Nick's body, electrifying it to degrees that it's never been electrified before. The first time Nick has ever used this special power.

"One Hundred Percent: Full Charge."

Nick and violet then charge each other yet again in one final clash, Fully Charged up Nick versus the Violet Demon. Violet's raw strength is strong, rar stronger than Nick's and unmatched by any opponent. But Nick is fast. Much faster than Violet, stronger and faster than any Slayer to date. Nick and Violet traded hundreds of blows. Nick pulled out every attack in his repertoire in order to stop Violet. All sorts of electric attacks rained upon Violet, but the demon boy still kept going. But Nick did too! The fight lasted for hours, but to Nick…it felt like years but looked like seconds due to his speed. And eventually…after a gruesome, blood soaked battle…Nick won.

Violet was defeated.
