Snake Killers on the Loose

I ran forward to catch Josh.

"Josh! Are you okay?" I asked, already knowing the answer. I pulled out a laser rifle that I made myself. I cocked it, and pointed it in every direction.

Foolish legacy…a seductive female voice whispered in my head. ''I own this dimension…and this demititan's soul, now…come claim it. ''

"WHO ARE YOU?!" I shouted, and my teammates stared at me like I was a freak. I must've seemed like one to them. They couldn't hear it…my power was magical, not genetic, like their's.

''I sense the power of Nagar is strong within you. This would make you a fellow spirit of nature, young one. I will grant you one thing: information. I am nearby, you will be able to sense me. You may call me Erised…''

I stood, and felt pain in my hands. I had clenched my fists so hard they were bleeding, and picked up my laser rifle. I pointed it at one of my hands, and set it on "burn". It blasted my hand, which burned through most of the skin layers and charred the flesh black. I grinned now that the skin on my hand was dead, and shed it like a snake. A new, perfectly unscathed hand was underneath. I repeated the proccess with my other hand, and laughed.

"Guys, Josh's soul was stolen. I know where it is, so you can follow me to get it back. What do we do with his body…?" I said.

"Hmm...so he's dead, right?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, technically. Why?" I answered.

Jack kicked Josh's body so hard that he flew fifty feet into the lake and sunk like a rock.

"…" was a team reaction to that action.

"So, let's go get Josh's soul!" Jack said, all to cheerily.
