    This stories atmosphere{Time, feel, some of the basics like
teenagers with guns killing demons to save the world from armageddon in
the near furture and then having to fight some sort of godlike
character}, devil summoning idea and program, and overal demonic theme
is a copyright of Atlus entertainment. I would also like to mention in
their game Persona, Pandora is used as well as Pandora's box. Whether or
not it is infringing on copyrights is an iffy.

   WARNING: Demonic themes behind and less ahead. Thats why it's dark.

               Who is the devil summoner? : Final part.......


    Was I dreaming, no I�m sure I was not. Every time I leave the body,
I wonder such things. Since I�m not confined withing barriers like,
heart or ones conscience. Just pure thought with no distraction.
    I am right now closing in on the center of the demon world. Eric and
I have killed a lot of demons in this world of darkness. But now it is
time to finish it. It is time to close Pandora�s box, time to defeat the
demons and a time for revenge. Revenge for the death of my friend Andrew
and all those who have died also.
    I have told Eric about the program, about everything I know and he
seemed shocked, no surprise there. I gave him the computer, the demon
summoning program, and I can only hope. Only hope that he uses it right
and the world is saved. This is much like stories I used to read or
video game�s I used to play.
    But then comes the matter of my life. Death has said that I will die
once my mission is complete, once the box is closed. I can only hope
that I die quickly and painfully. I wonder how I die?
    Death also said this was like a game of chess. White against black,
good against evil, light against darkness. But who will get checkmate?
Oh, my body is calling to me, I must return.....

    Matthew was in a place much like the land of the dead, a world of
all darkness. But this darkness was different, it was a cold evil
darkness. The land of the dead was a comfortable darkness while this was
evil, pure evil. As though all his world�s evil had been wrapped up and
placed here where it expanded and became life itself, an evil life.
    Matthew looked over at Eric. �Do you know how far it is?�
    Eric nodded. �I have been here and looked into the box itself. I can
feel it�s corrupted evil.� His voice sounded devoid of emotion as though
it was removed along time ago.
    Matthew looked at his handgun, placed in his hand. He was almost out
of ammunition as was Eric but they were almost there, almost.
    After about ten minutes of walking they saw a box. Matthew was the
first to comment. �Is that it?�
    �It is. The small pink, box, opened. Only big enough to hold a ring
but evil enough to twist a world. A world like this.�
    They began to move towards the box, not knowing what would happen
next, only hoping that this was the end.
    Then when they were only a few meters from the box something
surprised them. It was a woman who appeared from nowhere. She wore no
clothing and her skin was all pink. She had pink demon wings sprouting
from her back which seemed to stretch on forever. The woman�s blood red
eyes seemed to burn away at them as she hovered above the ground. She
had long purple hair which swayed back and forth as though in great
wind. Then a tempest came from nowhere knocking Eric and Matthew to the
ground. �Pathetic mortals, coming to close the box. No one touches my
great treasure and my favorite toy. Now die!�
    The woman looked at Matthew and he flew back almost twenty feet. The
pain shot through his body as he couldn�t seem to move it. �Megami?�
    The woman smiled. �You know my name mortal. So then bow to me or
die! And then your friend will die!�
    Eric couldn�t seem to move, he was in the same situation as Matthew.
But Matthew was Megami�s target right now. She seemed to be throwing
Matthew around like a rag doll and that
could be Eric�s chance to end this. He struggled to escape but nothing
happened but then he felt a surge of power. The chains shattered around
him in a burst of light. That got Megami�s attention.
    �So the devil summoner thinks he can defeat me. He may have captured
Pandora and gave her to the angel council but I am not that fool and you
are only a recreation of the real devil summoner. And I am your god and
your savior. Bow to be and live for eternity. Have power beyond belief,
come see refuge in the darkness or perish before it.�
    Eric pulled up his handgun from where it rested on the floor,
knocked out of his hand after the tempest like wind. �There is no
comfort in the darkness, only hatred. You are all one hateful mind you
demons. But once we are dead where will you release your anger? You will
have no one left to kill but yourselves, and you will. You are
pathetic.�
    Megami seemed to get angry at that. �So be it! Now you die for
blasphemy against God! DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!� Megami threw a sphere of fire
at Eric.
    Eric waited for the blow and then took out the computer where he
activated the program. The monitor flashed on and off as he waited for
the sphere to hit him, and then it did. Fire engulfed where he stood as
Matthew screamed for Eric�s life knowing Eric was the last chance for
mankind. But once the smoke cleared Eric stood steadfast in readiness.
It seemed a demon had taken the blow. �You are finished Megami.�
    Then the computer vanished and it changed into a large white man.
All white and dressed in white, emitting a glow of holiness Like a god
he was in massive stature. He stood tall against his foe carrying his
weapon, a large golden cross in every fashion. So the evangelist and
Megami clashed. The Christian evangelist was the good guy while God was
the bad guy, at least the Torgon God.
    And so the fight persisted until Eric and Matthew intervened. Firing
of their guns they wasted almost all their bullets on Megami, trying to
turn the table�s in their favor. And it worked, with one powerful blow
with the evangelists cross he slew Megami and she vanished. Then the
evangelist did as well. Turning back into the computer and returned to
Eric.
    Eric looked down at the computer and smiled. �Now to close the box.
Will you do the honors Matthew?�
    Matthew agreed and walked over to the box, looking down into it. The
pink-box with some sort of small green light glowing in it. Then Matthew
felt different about the box. �Why don�t we keep the box, not close it.
Use it�s power to create a better world. It would be a waste to lose
such a chance.�
    And Eric listened to him say this and that of what they could use
the box for. So Eric knew that the power had gotten to Matthew, it had
corrupted him. So Eric did the right thing, he shot Matthew, three times
in the back. It was the right thing to do.
    The body of Matthew collapsed onto the ground. He coughed up blood
by the second and then bleed for a long time. Eric then walked over to
the box and shut it without looking into it of fear of being consumed by
evil.
    As the lid shut the whole world began to shake and area�s of it
vanished. They had completed their tax. They would all die though and he
knew it. Andrew as dead, as was Matthew and soon Eric. He looked forward
to death, a time to rest. But he remembered when he looked into the box.

    When Matthew looked into the box he saw Megami�s greed in it. After
she died her greed returned to the box so it could become one with
another host. Like what happened when Pandora died and Megami opened it
to find her greed, but things turned out for the worst when no one
closed it in their world like in his world.
    But when Eric looked into it years ago, he saw the last ray of
emotion in the box. A light blue ray of light, a ray of hope. And he
absorbed the hope. Eric was hope and he knew it, the hope and salvation
of mankind. And he was not of mankind but a demon, changed by the box
for the good.
    And so as the world collapsed as it got sucked into the box. And now
that the box was one with this universe, when the universe disappeared
into the box then the box would vanish into nothingness without anywhere
to exist. For it could only exist in the world, the world could not
exist in it. And death came to him.

    After the collpase of the demon world mankind was saved as all the
demons disappeared. And no one knew of the dead people who saved the
world. For there was no one to tell of it. They were all dead, all those
who knew of the noble actions. Only a few humans survived to rebuild all
the countries that were destroyed, they were all destroyed. A hollow
victory. But not as hollow as they thought.

    Tsumi looked down at the pleasent little box he had. After Megami
had thrown him away like a rag. Mr. Relfren was dead. Mr. Relfren wanted
to have Megami posses him but Megami took that girl Andrea and killed my
poor boss. Oh well, as long as I have my precious box. And I will smite
all of mankind with this. And thank god all the troublemakers are dead.
He was not a demon, no. They thought he was but he was not. He was a
fallen angel, the fallen angel known as the devil, or lucifer. And he
will create his own world, his own demons with this and make Megami bow
to him.
    He then thought to himself, "This is no book. This is real life. The
good guys don't have to win."
    And he opened the box. Checkmate

                                    THE END.
