The Ultimate Host

After Cross and John disposed of the zombies near the entrance of the castle, they finally entered. The first place they came across was the church. Even though Alec was a part of The Council Of Fate Empire he still prepared to go the Guardians. The former rulers and creators of The Realm Of Valadin. A statue came before when they entered the church. It was one of The Guardians. Cross looked at the statue's feet and realized that a Resistance soldier's head laid by its feet with food all around it. Alec considered these items as offerings to the gods. John looked at the chairs which were charred as if a fire recently burned portions of the church down. John walked up to the chairs and realized that one of the chairs had some kind of sticky substance leaking from it. John waved his hand across the charred chair and rubbed the sticky substance with his index finger and thumb. He smelled the sticky substance and realized with it was. It was the saliva of a bloodthirsty creature. John looked at the ceiling above the church and saw a bat like a creature with two rows of razor-sharp teeth. The bat-like creature took its claws out of the burnt ceiling flying to the ground with saliva leaking from its mouth as if it hadn't eaten in days. The bat-like creature rushed John extending its wings out. John evaded the bat-like creature's savage attack making it crash into the huddle of burnt chairs.

The bat-like creature ripped its head out of the burnt chairs screaming like a siren. Suddenly when the bat-like creature was about to rush John again, an arrow went through a bat-like creature's brain causing them to die instantly. The bat-like creature dropped on the ground. Blood poured out the bat-like creature's head. Cross walked up to the bat-like creature examining the arrow lodged in its head. Cross ripped the arrow out of the bat-like creature's head. Blood squirted in Cross's face. Cross who was disgusted rubbed the blood away from his face wiping his blood-drenched hands on his clean shirt. He examined the arrow and saw that it had strange cravings in the arrow tip. Suddenly, he noticed that the arrow was slowly opening. He could smell the stench of gunpowder. He tossed the arrow to the side. "We have to get out of here now!" shouted Cross. Cross and John both sprinted out of the church making their way outside. The church unexpectedly exploded.

Cross and John walked away from the burning church turning around. A silhouette of a man holding a bow stood on top of the same tower Rocco stood on. The silhouette fired another arrow but this time at Cross. Cross caught the arrow crushing it in the palm of his hand. The silhouette jumped off the tower landing on the ground softly and lightly as a feather. The silhouette walked into the light revealing it"s appearance. It was a man who held a bow in his hand with a short sword attached to his waist. He wore a plain blue cloak and hood that covered his face. The man fired two arrows at John and Cross who dodge the arrows.

Cross ran up to the man kicking him in the face making two of his teeth fly out while blood gushed out of his mouth. He smashed into the burning church. Cross placed his right foot back on the ground. The man walked out of the burning church taking off his cloak tossing it into the fire. The man's face was revealed. "Who the hell are you?" The man spat blood on the ground wiping the ash from his face. His face was now revealed. Around his head was shaved bald while the top was long braids that were blue. He had the braids in a ponytail. Around the bald part of his head, his head was covered in tattoos. The man had light durable armor made of Kermantine. " I am Reyes." Reyes was originally a Resistance leader, but his title was a stripped from him. Bartholomew took his title. However he was given a chance to keep his title. He had fight for it . Reyes lost the battle, and barely got away alive . His legs and arms were removed, part of his head was cracked,his kidney's ruptured, piece of his brain sonso damaged so badly it had to be removed, and one of his eyes were ripped out . If it wasn't for Cornelius Advent's assistance robots he would of been in the spiritual realm. Reyes is a man that ishuman part machine. He uses both of his tactics to hunt down and kill all his enemies.

He was sent to kill Alec by the order from Bartholomew before he left the Octagon. He sworn that one day he would get his revenge. Maybe after or during the war. "Why did you decide to attack us?" "You pose as a threat to Cornelius Advent, Cross Santana. "But that is not the reason why I am here." "I do not give a fuck what beef Cornelius has with you." "So I will do you a solid." I will allow you to live for now." Reyes walked past both Cross and John. "If either one of you try to kill Alec I will kill you for interfering with my mission." Reyes jumped on top of the same tower he perched on making his way past the library heading towards the theater.

He sprinted past the air landing on his feet. He crashed on the ground which cracked up. The entrance of the theater was already open. Reyes slowly walked into the theater. When he did this the door suddenly closed behind him locking. Reyes paid no mind the door looking. Around the theater laid over 500 chairs. The theater smelled terrific. The grounds were cleaned and the wooden parts of the chairs were vanished with not one scratch seen. Reyes used his eye and a light blue light flashed out. He scanned the theater for any life. However he was not successful. He didn't stop any life. He jumped on the stage walking behind the stage. Suddenly the curtains opened up and the lights gleamed onto the stage. Reyes turned around and saw a figure jumped down from the chairs that were on the top deck. When the figure landed on the ground it evaporated. Reyes jumped off the stage landing on the ground. He scanned the stop where the figure landed waving his hand across the ground. His eye scanner picked up footsteps of designer shoes. Suddenely he heard rustling footsteps behind him. He turned around jumping back five feet. He saw a man with a black and with tuxedo on with a red tie. He wore a top hat holding a cane in his hand. He wore a white bird like mask over his face only exposing his mouth. Reyes clashed his fists together causing sparks to fly all over the place. The man started grinning.
