Geko helps

Anna was walking behind Geko with an annoyed look on her face and arms tucked.

They were heading toward the village with the hope of finding Zeno since that was the last place they saw him entering.

But Anna was still bugged about her sister getting possessed by the demon and at the same time, she needed the demon's help to save Zeno.

'Okay, Anna Chill, she might be a demon but she's still your sister, she saved your life, ahh geez, first Zeno now Ava?" Anna yelled as she walked behind Geko.

"Anyone ever told you, you are way too noisy?" Geko uttered with a straight face.

"The hell? Look here, I wasn't cool with it and I'm definitely not cool with it now, I just need your help saving Zeno so don't you dare speak to me!" Anna yelled while pointing at Geko from behind.

"Yeah yeah, I really couldn't care less about what you think." Geko leaped onto one of the buildings to get a good view of the village.

"Care...less… don't you dare forget you're in my sister's body, you'd better-" Anna was cut off by Geko's yell.

"Okay!" Geko turned her focus to Anna when she couldn't take the noise anymore. She moved closer to Anna and started poking her on the chest.

"Look sis, I'm having enough trouble as it is fighting this stupid ache in my chest, so I'd really appreciate it if you'd just keep shut and let's go save Zeno" She took another jump down the hill and land on the bridge that led to the village.

"Great, now she calls me sis…" Anna whispered before following behind her.

They crossed the bridge with the expectation of seeing some Glinx on the way, but they didn't see a single one, they only met the dead bodies of the villagers and some Glinx.

"Did… Zeno do all this?" Anna questioned, taking small steps as she saw the dead bodies lay waste on the ground.

"These humans were eaten." Geko said, she checked on one of the dead bodies and saw that the heart had been gouache out, "I doubt Zeno did this".

"Do you have an idea of what did?" Anna asked, covering her nose from the smell.

The path that led to the village was covered in blood and blue sticky goo, Anna couldn't help but cover her nose, the smell that the corpse of the Glinxs were giving out was enough to choke a person to death.

"We are about to find out." Said Geko.

Once they got into the village they saw Zeno and the demon-fighting with his powers surrounding his every move.

"Zeno!" Anna yelled, she was too far for her to get a clear view of the person he was fighting with.

When Geko spotted Zeno, she suddenly felt an ache in her chest again so she used the building beside her as a support, resting her hand on the wall.

"Damn it, you love him that much, geez?" Geko grunted before she pulled out her gun, "Yeah yeah, I hear ya, save his ass".

Taking a forward stance, Zeno swung his sword at the demon with his blue lightning wrapped around the attack.

The demon used his hand to block the sword from hitting his shoulder before giving out an evil grin.

He then proceeded to boot Zeno in the stomach which pushed him back a few feet, before Zeno could get a breather he was getting attacked from all directions.

The demon was leaping left and right as he kept punching Zeno's face, but that didn't seem to phase him.

Zeno stood in the middle while calmly receiving the attacks until it was finally time to lash out his own strikes.

With a swing of his sword to the left, Zeno managed to cut the arm of the demon, causing him to fall to the ground screaming.

"You son of a bitch you cut off my arm!" The demon cried out, "My arm… my beautiful arm!".

A sudden laugh came from the demon as he covered his face with his hand, "I couldn't even keep my laughter in, too bad." He uttered.

Standing to his feet, he stretched out his hand, and his severed arm went punching Zeno into one of the huts nearby.

The demon walked over to his arm and attached it back to its joint before grinning as he watched Zeno.

"For real though, what the hell are you? You were able to cut my arms so easily.

Are you some kind of failed attempt to create an artificial demon?" The demon asked while observing the way Zeno got back to his feet.

With a sigh, the demon yelled, "You humans were so desperate you created this! Pathetic if you ask me." The demon laughed.

Zeno gave him a stern look, grabbing his sword from the ground before propelling his body toward the demon.

"You still want to approach me? You leave me no choice then," The demon grinned with his eyes going completely dark.

"From within my darkness

I call on thee,

The fortress of my rage,

MY ideal conqueror,

Rise and be my shield, Reckoning" He yelled.

Countless gigantic arms started to rush out from the ground and charge toward Zeno's position.

Zeno dodged them easily by cutting them down with his sword but that wasn't the case for long.

He was outnumbered by those hands, each coming from different directions, holding him down one by one.

Before he knew it he was being held down by multiple gigantic hands, he struggled to get free, hitting the arms with the lightning strikes on his body but it had no effect.

Zeno gave out a loud shriek before his eye lit up even brighter which came with a boost in his powers.

The demon gave out a sinister laugh, spreading his arms and looking up to the sky, "What a beautiful sight to behold! Ohhhh the pain I'll put you through…. truly a blessing!".

"You are a freak of nature, ain't you?" the demon uttered, he stretched out his hands and slammed his palms together.

That gesture made the giant hands squeeze the life out of Zeno, blood started rushing from his mouth, and eyes.

"You might as well say your last words, 'cause you are not getting free from that" The demon laughed.

"Tell me, what are you feeling right now? Rage, pain, frustration? or maybe, defeat" He grinned.

But even through that torture, the only thing the demon could see when he looked at the bleeding Zeno was nothing but an empty void, although the rage was there it was ever so clouded.

"Disgusting, might as well end it," The demon said to himself.

Just when he was about to end Zeno, he sensed danger and turned to block it with his gigantic arms, feeling distracted by Geko who kept shooting at him nonstop, he lost focus on Zeno which gave Anna an opening to get Zeno loose.
