Ene's Abduction

Ane was launched forward by a clone as he entered Dragon Hunt. He appeared next to Lance and swayed his hand before the demon. The air blew the flames off Lance who grinned. "Ohhhh; I see." he thought as Ane fired a punch to his ribs; crushing through Lance's chest all the way to his back. Ane pulled out his hand and Lance stood behind him. "DIE!" Lance shouted as he aimed a line of fire at the teen. Ane blinked to see he was where the other teens were and he eyed Lance to see him blasting Mandy. She smiled at Ane before being hit and despair filled Ane's face.

Mandy fell lifelessly to the ground. "How human." Lance remarked; chuckling. "Sacrificing herself for a "friend". She replaced her body with yours; dragon boy." Lance continued; turning to Ane.

"A-Ane...Mandy's..." Lisa whispered. Ane held his face as anger boiled through his entire being and the dragon's aura surrounded him. He dropped to his feet and roared angrily as he sprouted dragon wings.

"That damned brat!" the dragon yelled as it eyed Lance who backed away in fear.

"Y-you..." Lance stammered.

"Don't worry; I won't bother helping a brat like him." the dragon growled before his wings vanished and Ane's body fell forward; his eyes rolled up. Lance appeared before Ane and punched him across the battlefield. The other teens stared in fear as Lance stood face to face to them. He smirked and blasted them all away; one by one. He then eyed Ene; towering over the boy as the sun rose behind him. Rain began to pour down but Lance stood unaffected.

"About time, son." he said as the ground spat magma and the two demons vanished.

"E-Ene." Eina said weakly as she passed out.

Ane blinked to an area which was merely magma, lava and ash. "Where am I? Is this hell!? Am I dead!?" he exclaimed; rushing to his feet. A young Ane walked on a metal bridge before Present Ane alongside Conner. Present Ane silently flew to them.

"Why are we here, uncle?" Past Ane inquired.

"It doesn't matter right now. Plus; I'm sure you know as well as I do anyway." Conner said; smiling. "I hope the drunk bastard didn't go off somewhere. We need him to get out of here." he continued.

"You mean Gayle Keith?" Ane asked. Conner nodded. A huge area of lava spat up into the air besides the bridge and Conner and Past Ane phased away. Present Ane screamed and ran away from the lava. It instantly melted the bridged he dove from and he landed on some obsidian which Past Ane and Conner were on already. The all eyed the lake of lava where a young Ene stood; blasting the air with lava with ease. Past Ane appeared next to the younger boy.

"Ene?" Present Ane thought; observing closely.

"ANE!" Lana's voice boomed through his head. Ane shot awake; panting. All the teens except Mandy stood before him and he stood quickly. "Where are they? Ene and Lance?" he asked. Sadness filled everyone's face.

"W-we lost. That guy went with Ene." Lisa replied. Shock filled Ane's face and he stared downwards to then see Mandy lying on the ground.

"Mandy!" Ane yelled; running to the girl and holding her scorched body. He embraced her; crying. "I'm so so sorry." he cried.

"S-stop crying and apologizing." Mandy whispered. Ane's eyes widened and he eyed here.

"She's alive!?" Lana asked as all the teens ran to Ane and Mandy.

"Take her to a hospital." Ane said; handing Mandy to Eine who created a bed out of wood.

"What about you?" Eina asked; eyes shielded.

"We need to go to hell." Ane remarked.

"W-what?" Lisa and Lana inquired shakily.

"It's okay. We don't need to die." Ane stated before pointing at his head. "I think I got a lead." he stated.

"Y-yeah." Lisa stuttered before she and Lana eyed each other subtly without a word.

"A-Ane." Eina said as the others were about to leave. Ane eyed her and she looked back grimly. "Bring Ene back." she growled. Ane nodded.

"You know I will." he responded as he, Lana and Lisa walked away. Mandy eyed him weakly.

"Be careful, Ane." she thought.

Lana, Lisa and Ane were on a roof and Ane groaned. "I sounded so cool and I don't have the slightest clue as to how I'll find my so called lead!" he yelled; sighing.

" We can help." Lisa said; patting him on the shoulder soothingly.

"Well if you guys know him; that'll be great." Ane said.

"So...what's his name?" Lana queried.

"Gayle Keith." Ane replied. Shock filled the girls' faces and they eyed one another.

"We...know him but." Lisa began.

"He's said to be an absolute beast. He's deadly!" Lana blurted.

"It doesn't matter." Ane said; standing up. "He knew my uncle and me." he continued; doing a thumbs up.

"Oh boy." Lisa thought; sighing.

Ane, Lana and Lisa were in the middle of a forest of dead trees in front of a mansion made of grey bricks. The sky was blood red and a full moon stood across it; shining bright. "Was it even night when we entered the forest?" Ane asked. The girls clung onto him and he blushed as their bodies squeezed onto his. He shook his head determinedly. "Not the time for that." he thought; exhaling before knocking on the large door. It instantly opened and the teenagers slowly walked in; the door slamming shut behind them and leaving them in pitch blackness.

"I'm scared, Ane." Lana whispered. Candles lit up all around the room; revealing a huge forge that also brightened the room and a man standing on a stone throne. He had one cyan eye and the other was gone; was partially bald with dirty blonde hair across the rest of his head and was wearing a brown pants, no shirt and a red cape that already lost most of it's color. He fiddled in the gold chain around his neck with his metal gauntlets. 

"What do you kids want?" the man asked.

"My friends and I need to go to hell." Ane said.

"I could you now if I wished you know." the man responded calmly.

"A-are you Gayle?" Lisa stammered. The man grasped a huge silver stick with a bronze lion atop it as he stood suddenly.

"What if I am?" he boomed.

"We need your help, sir." Ane said.

"Oh?" Gayle asked; smiling as his eye finally fell onto the boy.
