Lightning Doesn't Strike Twice!

Chapter 25

Okay, first off, who are you and what did they want with Kaysi? Becky asked coldly; she was still mentally numb by the idea that her secret crush had kidnapped her friend. 

I honestly couldn't tell you all I know is I was looking to hunt my brother down as I sensed his presence as a demon. And next thing I knew when I arrived there was a woman casualty. 

A casualty Micah growled. Even if you don't know her do you think human life is just simply casualties to you in your battles? She said as her eyes began to glow red. 

MICAH, Baby shouted as she could see that Micah was starting to lose control. 

Oh really, you guys are a group of way makers yet you have a demon on your team. You realize that goes against our rules. Waymakers must always exercise any demon that we come across. 

I'll show you what it means to have some casualties; when I make you one Micah said. 

Micah ran across the field to aim at Evan. Unfortunately, her weapon was unable to break free of its form. When she tried to draw it. 

Why am I unable to release my weapon? Regardless, in one way or another, I'll manage to land a hit on him. 

Evan stood up and grabbed a hold of his sword ready to block Micah. Watching her as she ran closer and closer all of a sudden she disappeared. 

He looked all around him trying to find her. She could not have just disappeared; she was right in front of me. I know I got a serious injury so could I be hallucinating? 

Micah reappeared in front of him and slammed her fist into his chest where the wound that Josh had created with this claw was.

Ugh... Evan yelled out and dropped to his knees; doubled over in pain. 

Micah was getting ready to land a second attack when Baby and another mysterious man stopped them. 

Why did you stop me I was getting ready to teach this girl a lesson. Evan grinned in pain at the man. 

This is what you do when I tell you to stop creating so much trouble. Also didn't I tell you to stop leaving your teammate behind? 

Ah, but James is always so slow and he's always hesitant he's nothing but a big scaredy cat. 

It is better for you, you don't know how to obey orders you damn runt. 

Hey, Baby how have you been the man looked up at Baby as he slowly helped Evan to sit up. 

Hold up you know who this guy is Beck questioned? 

Yes, I do this is Duke an old-time friend and he's also another trainer for the waymakers. This is the second group that was created after ours had a test run. 

Since the portals have been opening up more and more. Headquarters need to make more groups of waymakers; due to the large surge of demons. 

I understand. Now with that said; I still want to know where is Kaysi. 

Well, children now that we're not at each other's throats and things have settled down maybe we can learn more information. Evan, is there any more that you can tell us about what happened even the smallest detail can help Duke asked. 

Well, it's like I said, I had seen a high-level demon and I also could sense that it was my brother. So I went wanting to hunt him down. The next thing I knew I saw that this girl was on the ground. I'm guessing she tried to confront him. He seemed to be on a mission probably sent by our father. He took her back to the abyss. 

What is the abyss Beck asked? 

Did I hear someone call you Beck? Becky was it; I have not been there myself but I was told that there is a dimension between Earth and Hell it's kind of like limbo. 

What do you think he wanted with her there? 

Honestly not sure why he took her there and what my father wants with her. He's always been obsessed with demons and demonology. 

You would think that he would attempt to try and take your little friend Micah over here. I relatively think she is quite a peach. 

Yeah, if you keep talking I'll be thinking I am a rotten apple when get ahold of you again. 

Children!!! Duke said in a strong thunderous voice that made everyone jump. 

So since we don't know what's going on. We're going to have to find a way to get her back. The only problem is I know of this Abyss that you speak of but us Guardians can't go there. 

Why can't you guys go there? 

Since Earth is supported by two dimensions—light and dark—guardians are pure. We can leave Earth and ascend to heaven, which is made of light. However, the abyss has a barrier that is averted it has no light that breaks through. It's typically the source of demon creation. 

Some people believe that rather than going to hell, you are temporarily imprisoned there; if you survive you are released. or you go to hell. But if you don't get out then you are turned. However, it still leaves a lot of people out and doesn't let them through. 

So how do we know if we're going to be able to even get in the barrier this place seems to have? 

There is something that I noticed earlier when I saw you two fighting Micah and Evan. Have you ever been told about soul ties? 

Yes, Baby trained us not too long ago about them even helping us to sense them and others as well as the different levels and strengths. So that way we can determine good and Evil and even nearby demons. 

Very well then if that's the case Micah why did you attack Evan so easily then? 

I lost control when I saw my friend get taken away. In a way, I guess I kind of blamed him. 

I figured that was probably the case. Nevertheless, if you pay attention to your soul ties each of you individually has a connection with Kaysi. You can see bits of her Essence still flowing in your auras. 

How is that possible for me? I don't even know the girl, I've never heard of her, never seen her until today. 

Well then somewhere in your past you've had to have had a connection with this girl. 

Somehow you must not remember it because out of all of you, the strongest soul-tie connection that I see is intertwined with hers is yours.

Let me explain; see the longer you are away from somebody the more that tie fades. Even her closest friends there or aren't even flowing as brightly as yours. 

So what does this mean? 

This means "boy" you might end up being the one that has to break the barrier. Because as long as you have the strongest soul tie you have the highest chances of entering being undetected. 

What do you mean I am confused, how does that work? 

Whenever you approach the barrier the soul tie of Kaysi will have already passed through and in theory, it should just register her essence and let you pass. 

So let me get this straight you want me to go down into the abyss somehow in some way rescue a girl that I've never met but I somehow have a soul tie to. 

That seems to be the only way regardless of your relationship to this girl. Are you going to let another human being die on your behalf duke glared at Evan. 

Of course not I just don't know if I have it in me to accomplish our goals. I already took one beating and look where it got me I couldn't save her in the first place.

Well, son, this might be your Redemption then. At the very most Baby and I can train you further so you can at least get to where you need to. 

The rest of our group can scout the area to try and find portals that way maybe we can get in somehow. 

With enough practice, after this training, all of you guys should be able to enter through the portal. I can at least make you so you will be able to pass through. We, guardians, will help you get through the portal. Your team will be with you until you get to the first gate of the Abyss.

 At the first gate is the barrier after that Evan will have to be by himself on his own.
