                    Who is the devil summoner? Part: 5......


    Did I dream it all? No, I didn�t dream at all. I haven�t dreamt in a
long time, only had nightmares, dark nightmares. The resistence is not
going well, no. I may be a leader, but not a
good one. But I am the devil summoner and I will win, I have to. So I
venture to the dark world to shut Pandora�s box. I have left with two
people, my trusted friend Andrew, and a man known as Eric. Eric was
labeled insane for all his demon talk, but he was right and now we give
him a second chance.
    But now I know everything, the truth. But Matthew knows not what he
thinks back here, he has learned to ignore it, all people have. They
have shut their eyes to the world which science or religion cannot
explain, living in a world of not knowing, ignorance is bliss. But it
has become clear, he will know soon.......

    Matthew wiped the black blood off his handgun and looked over at
Andrew and Eric. Eric looked down at the demon, it was a raven. He put
away the gun and Andrew sheathed his sword. Matthew wondered why Andrew
used swords instead of a good gun. But it was his choice. �Damn things
take a lot of bullets to kill.�
    Eric nodded. �I know. The bastard�s seem to be able to take
anything, anything at all.�
    Matthew looked around the room. It was the lobby of the old Calrom
software building. It looked the same except the computer was off, the
monitor smashed. �Let�s go into the elevator, then go to floor twelve.�
    They all agreed and entered the elevator, pressing the button
numbered twelve. The elevator began to move upwards when everything
blacked out.

    �Damn you, you brought me here again, I have a job to complete, so
just let me go.�
    Death shook his head. �You have to give him the program, the devil
summoning program! Otherwise your world and my world is doomed.�
    Matthew looked around at the world of all darkness, the world of
death. �Why should I give Eric whatever it is? He is the devil summoner,
right?�
    Death nodded. �He is the devil summoner, you are a decoy, a fake to
make sure they don�t find him. But you are just as important to this
game. This game is much like chess. One side makes a move then the
other, and one side becomes victorious. Though there is the ususal draw
but there are always two sides when playing chess, two. The black and
the white, the good and the evil, the night and the morning, darkness
and light.�
    Matthew did feel disappointed at not being the devil summoner, but
some part of him knew all along. �Night and darkness, the demons against
the humans.� He paused for a second before continuing. �But I know what
happened now. You did it all didn�t you?�
    Death seemed confused, at trying to figure out what Matthew was
talking about or how to covering it up. �I don�t know what your talking
about.�
    Matthew moved towards Death. �Tell me! Tell me about Pandora�s box.
Don�t hide behind a lie, face the truth.�
    �Fine! I did it! You want to know? I�ll tell you!� The man seemed
like he was about to snap. �I gave Pandora the box, I thought she would
not open it, I told her not to open it. But she
did and created hatred amongst mankind. Then my mistake end there. After
Pandora�s box was closed here, and not all evil leaked out of it, Megami
came. She was curious of how such a box could do so much, so she took it
before the gods could get it. Then she brought it to her world, and
wrought the undoing of it. Her world was turned into one like this one.
But it did not stop there, she absorbed greed, so much greed and vanity
that she wanted to control everything and remake everything she
controlled into the image she wanted. But with the darkness that came
from the unclosed box the gate between worlds closed, because of the
corruption. So then it came that she learned how to send something
through the portal, but only one thing. That thing was the spirit of a
demon, sent through the void of darkness to your world. The spirit had
to find a body, so it took the body of Mr. Relfren. From there it
created something called the demon summoning program that could bring
demons spirits from the Dark world. It summoned a few aids but then
found a problem, he needed something very special for the program so he
could bring more, the devil summoner. But it was all in vain so he sent
upon the task of finding how to create a portal
between them. Opened all mythological books from the earlier times, with
the help of a few of his aids. He found out how but he still needed the
devil summoner. This time dead, not alive, a lot easier. Only the devil
summoner can summon demons without them possessing him. Only he can tame
them and bend their will to him.�
    Matthew sighed and wondered. It seemed Death should have been
executed, but what was his punishment? �What was your punishment?�
    Death looked up at his scythe. �This. I must manage the souls of the
dead forever. I cannot die, cannot live, I am stuck in this world. The
world between old life and new life.�
    �Can you send me back now? So I can give him the program and shut
the box?�
    Death agreed. �The world and the box are the same, as one now. Not
the same evil and forever bonded. But you cannot destroy the box, only
close it and hide it where no one will find it. Evil cannot be
destroyed, only slowed, stalled and avoided. It cannot die though.�
    Then Matthew returned to his body.

    Andrew looked back at Matthew. �Damn, why did you just phase out
like that? Well just pull out your gun and start shooting.�
    Matthew looked to see four demons with handguns shooting at them.
Two were already dead, on the floor bleeding. Eric was firing off shots
with great accuracy while Andrew used a crossbow, he always like old
fashion weapons.
    Matthew knelt down and began to fire off shots. One two three four
five six seven eight, all missed or hit of the desk they hid behind.
Only seven bullets left. Matthew looked over to see Andrew reloading his
crossbow. It seemed he had just got one through their black heart. Three
left. Matthew fired off his other seven bullets and then dropped his
clip. He reloaded and fired off all of his shots, hitting one but not
killing it.
    Eric was firing off shots by the dozen, most of them hitting but not
knocking them down. It usually took about twenty bullets to knock down a
demon. It was a surprise that the demons hadn�t hit one of us yet, yet.
    Andrew then reloaded again after getting another one. These things
were too powerful, much too powerful. Their body lacked features, it was
just black, all black, nothing more.
�Common. How much more ammunition do you guys have left?�
     Eric answered first while emptying his clip and replacing it with a
new one. �Six.� Then Matthew was next. �Seven including this one but its
almost out. You?� He then finished off his clip and reloaded. �I have
twelve more bolts.�
    Then Matthew�s eyes befell a horrible sight, Andrew�s death. Three
bullets through the chest. Blood flew all through the elevator. Spilling
on the floors and running down the walls as he collapsed, leaning onto
the wall. As he slid down a trail of blood came down with him. Then he
gasped as the life drained from him.
    That gave Matthew and Eric a new weapon on their side, anger. They
fired bullet after bullet at the demons. Dozens flew through the air,
now most of them hitting. Then after shooting of eight clips in all, the
demons were dead.
    �Lets go.� Matthew said in a cold voice of darkness. As he walked
into the area where the white pentagram was engraved on the black floor,
engraved in white. He vanished, then followed by Eric. It was time for
the last battle. Black versus white, who would get checkmate?
