Chapter 552 A True Nightmare

Natalie rushed straight for the fleeing Lisa. Although Lisa had managed alter herself to not be visible, it still wasn't enough for her to outsmart Natalie. Beams of green energy fired at Lisa, directly hitting her and sending her flying into the wall. Natalie landed as she held two green orbs of energy in her hands. Her body was pulsing with energy and Natalie never felt better.

"Arrrgh..!" Lisa tried to push herself up as Connors appeared, swinging his foot at her. He made her bounce against the wall like a ball, grunts and groans erupting from Lisa's mouth as Natalie's face soured.

"She's mine!" Natalie fired a beam of energy at Connors. Connors deflected the attack, angrily turning to face Natalie.

"I'm not the one who decided to play switcheroo!" Connors shouted.

"I didn't either! She's mine, dipshit metal head!" Natalie shouted.

Lisa's head spun as she tried to lift it. All of her energy was depleted from Blood Chant that kept her body from literally being blown to pieces. She groaned as she listened to the two demons argue with one another.

"She's mine!" Natalie pushed Connors. Her hand ignited in flames as her energy snuffed it out. The two began to fight amongst each other. Smoke still billowed behind them. They paid no attention to LEe Seng.

'If he died… He should've disappeared…' Lisa thought. 'So why's my senses telling me to run?'

"You should've kept the Fox busy!" Natalie shouted. "If you did your fucking job, we would've both gotten what we wanted!"

"It's my fault?!?" Connors sarcastically let out a chuckle. He snorted and shook his head. "You like to toy with your prey too much! That's why you get stuck with me! Becuase you're irresponsible!"

"I'm irresponsible?" The green energy flared like blinding lights as Natalie took a step forward. She began to dig a finger into Connors chest with each word. "Then let's talk about you, Mr. 'I'm not irresponsible.' You can't do shit!" The two began to shout at each other and that's when Lisa felt it.

Pure dread. She gulped.

'Why aren't they feeling that?' Lisa wondered. The smoke suddenly stopped billowing out. Wind began to pick up and pull towards the center of the smoke. When it became too apparent, Natalie and Connors turned to look. The night sky grew in front of their very eyes. Stars began to hum, spinning. The humming noise quickly made Natalie uncomfortable.

"Ahh!" Natalie screeched, covering her ears. Connors began to hear it and followed suit. The two tried their hardest to cover their ears. Lisa cried out in pain as her eardrums felt like bursting. The stars spun faster and faster, quickly distorting the space around them as the cosmic sky moved around the space.

The next second, Eleven appeared in front of Natalie. He was bloodied and pissed as he plunged his hand straight through Natalie's chest. The energy around Natalie quickly lashed out at Eleven, cutting his arm apart as he plunged his hand into Natalie's chest.

"Argh!" Natalie gasped as blood spilled from hr mouth and wound. The energy ate away at Eleven's arm and like a crazy person, he still plunged his hand into the fire. Eleven pulled his hand out as Connors lashed out. Eleven's body exploded in cosmic dust as Natalie gripped her chest wound.

"Where are you?!?" Connors shouted. "Show yourself!"

"Show myself?" Eleven's voice echoed around them. Natalie carefully looked around while Connors spun around like a mad man. The Fox he thought was dead, wasn't dead. And to top it all off, he felt different.

"Show yourself, you coward!" Connors shouted trying to provoke Eleven. Eleven chuckled as his voice appeared right next to Connors.

"I'm a coward? Then what does that make you?"

Connors lashed out, slamming his metallic hand into Natalie. Natalie flew through the starry sky, slamming against a wall with a loud grunt.

"Where are you bitch?!?" Connors shouted. He furiously looked around as the stars seemed to pull closer. "You're no man! You're a coward! A fucking coward! That's all you'll be!"

"Is that all you know how to say?" Eleven asked, slashing Connors in the back. Connors spun around, swinging his arm into nothing as Eleven's voice to his right. "A coward? I'm no coward. I take every option, no matter the risk."

"Ahh!" Connors swung his arm outwards. The metallic liquid slammed against the wall, firing beams in every direction as Connors screamed. "I'm no coward! I stand and fight!"

"And yet…" Eleven whispered into Connors' ear. Purple energy flew out of his mouth and into Connors' ears. Connors' whole body began to freeze as Eleven continued. "You can't kill me."

A rushing sensation made Connors' senses go wild. The night sky rushed into him and the next thing he knew, he was in pure darkness. His demonic powers were gone and he stood there with nothing but the clothes on his back.

"Coward." Eleven's voice whispered in the darkness.

"Who's there?!?" Connors shouted. He turned to face the voice but saw nothing.

"Coward." Eleven's voice continued to whisper.

"Who's there?!? Face me like a true man!" Connors pointed in the darkness. He spun around as the whispers slowly grew into a dissonance. His lip began to quiver as Eleven's voice switched over to something else.

"You'll always be a coward, Connors."

His dead friends stood all around him. They all stared at him with their cold eyes.

"Why did you abandon us?"

"Weren't you the one who said we'd be together forever?"

"Why did you leave us?"

"No!" Connors shook his head. The dead moved closer, questions continuing as Connors shook his head. "No! I-I-I—"

"AHHHHH!" Connors' scream echoed in the starry place. Natalie looked up as her wound began to close.

"I gotta get out of here…" Natalie whispered. She pulled herself up onto her feet and started off to the left. "I gotta get out… I gotta warn the others!"

"AHHH—"

Crunch!

Natalie stopped in place, eyes widened. The screams of Connors was replaced with a dripping noise.

"No." Natalie shook her head. She was hearing his blood. "No!" She rushed forward, not knowing where she was going. She was going off of her memory. The starry sky around her was making it hard to see anything. "Please let me out. Please let me out. Please—"

Bump.

Natalie's foot hit something. She looked down and Connors' head looked up at her. She let out a scream as she moved backwards, covering her mouth. Eleven giggled. A shadow moved out of her peripheral.

Lisa listened as everything happened around her. She didn't know what was happening, but Connors and Natalie were suddenly screaming bloody murder. She slowly lifted herself up, holding her stomach as her flesh sizzled. The fear in Natalie's voice was all she could hear. Connors had gone silent and Natalie was somewhere out there.

'Where's Lee Seng?' Lisa wondered. A whisper came at her, turning Lisa around. Through the starry night around her, she could see the shape of something in the distance. She slowly trudged forward. Natalie's muttering and cries grew louder as the shape sporadically spun around.

"Boo." Eleven's voice whispered. Natalie screamed, turning as soon as something came out at her. She moved backwards, tripping over herself and falling. Lisa looked at Natalie as she cowered. She was shaking her head and trying to move away from her. Lisa lifted her hand as a blood orb appeared.

"My lucky… day." Lisa smiled. She moved the ball and pointed it at the scared Natalie. "This is for killing me two times over." The blood flew at Natalie as her screams grew louder. The blood pierced Natalie's heart, stopping Natalie's bloody screams. The gags of Natalie's death rattle grew as she slowly stopped moving.

Lisa sighed in relief as she pulled the blood towards her. Her wounds healed in an instant and a strange feeling ignited the inside of her body.

'What is this?' Lisa looked at her hands. The green energy emanating off of Natalie flew through her blood. Lisa could feel something strange happening to her. Her body began to feel great, but something was wrong.

"Ah!" Lisa clutched her head. Something was burning inside of her. "Ahhh!"

The star space started to pull behind her, drawing Lisa in. Eleven stood behind her, watching with his purple eyes.

"W-what are you?!?" Lisa cried out in pain. Eleven smiled and tilted his head.

"What happens to a vampire when they suck radioactive demon-wannabe blood?" Eleven asked.

"Arghhh!" Lisa screeched. Her head went backwards as her body began to glow bright.

"To think you'd actually kill her before I could get my hands on her…" Eleven frowned. "Oh well! I'm much more interested in what's about to happen! Lisa the Vampire going radioactive! What will happen? What will happen?"

"W-why are you… Acting like… A kid?" Lisa asked. Her body flew forward, her upper-body leaning over as Eleven watched with a strange smile on his face. "C-can't you he-help me, Lee Seng?"

"Help you?" Eleven asked, smile fading. He tilted his head and tapped his chin, looking at Lisa with an inquisitive look. "Who said anything about Lee Seng being here? Don't tell me you didn't notice, Lisa?"
