Devil May Cry: Billie's Awakening, chapter 8
Billie finally woke up and slowly stood up. He found his sword and picked it up. He felt different. Power flowed through him. Billie didn't notice at first. He was trying to remember what happened before he passed out.
"I remember Mike stabbing me and walking away. It seems like something took me over and made me jump up through my sword. Mike said something...a devil inside me? I remember him and...what was his name...Tre? Yeah, Tre. They left and I felt a change in my body right before I blacked out."
Now he noticed the energy flowing through him. It seemed inhuman. Almost devilish...devilish? Wait a minute. Didn't Mike say something about a devil awakening within him? Was this a devil power? Billie thought he changed into something right before he went out. Was this it?
Billie focused on the power and sure enough, he transformed into a demon.
"OH MY GOD!"
His voice didn't even sound normal. It sounded gurgly and muffed all at once. Billie looked at himself. His skin had turned black and his nails had grown into sharp claws. His teeth were razor sharp and his face had changed completely. Long white hair grew all around his head.
"This can't be real. This can't be real. It just can't!"
Billie by now was having a huge panic attack. He wanted this to stop. He wanted it to go away...
And it did. With a flash of red light he was normal again. Billie was shivering in shock and in fear. What just happened to him? Whatever it was, it was certainly not what he expected. But it seemed like he could control it with his mind, whatever it was. It was like he became a devil.
"Wait. This was what Mike was talking about. The Devil Trigger."
Mike knew about it because his devil had already awakened, he just didn't use it on Billie. Mike liked to call it the Devil Trigger because it was like triggering something in his mind. Such a retarded name... ..but at the same time, cool.
"Alright. Now that I know what it is, now I need to know how to get down."
The only apparent way down was to jump, like Mike and Tre did. This would be fun.
Billie jumped off of the roof and started to run down the wall of the tower. He looked around to see if there was anything to get him down faster. What he saw was what looked like a flying fish. And it was huge, about one fourth of the tower tall. Why did Mike have to demonize everything?
He didn't have any time to react. The fish opened its mouth and swallowed Billie.
Billie landed into what appeared to be it's intestines. Yuck. He looked around and saw what this thing had eaten. Jeez, it had eaten cars, buildings, and the occasional tree. And it was all in stomach acid. If he was to avoid being digested, he would have to find a way to escape, fast. There was an apparent opening, but it was stopped up with a blood clot. It would sicken him, but he sliced through the clot and continued onward. In the next "hallway", he found a huge creature trying to bite him. He tried to hit it, but it did nothing. He had to think. Should he try his devil trigger even though it scared him? Hey, anything was better than being eaten alive He focused and transformed. Fighting back his fear, he leaped at the creature and sliced in half. His sword glowed an eerie red glow as it collected the blood from the creature. He reverted to normal, and the glowing stopped. It seemed as though his devil trigger made him stronger and collecting blood from enemies added to his strength. Creepy.
Billie kept walking and found the fish's heart. He would have to kill it from the inside to escape. Hey, he would be doing a service to everyone else, since this thing thought the earth was an all you can eat buffet. He thought he should devil trigger to kill it. If the demon inside him was to help him, he would have to get over his fears. He devil triggered and slashed at its heart. His sword and, apparently, his nun chucks from the dog were both collecting blood and becoming stronger. The heart stopped pumping, and he felt that he was falling to the ground. He knew that he killed it. The dead fish slammed hard on the ground in front of another part of the tower he hadn't noticed. He supposed Mike and Tre were there.
To escape, Billie cut through one of its eyes and leapt out. He was surprised to see the lady from earlier. She just stared at him. Billie ignored her and walked past her.
"Wait," the lady said, holding her gun at him.
Billie wheeled around to her.
"If you're looking for a date, the answer's no, because I don't like to go out with women who shoot me in the head!"
"Date a demon? I'm not that desperate. And besides, I really don't like men that stink like blood."
Billie looked at himself. He was covered in blood. He was showered with blood when he burst out of the eye.
"Hmm... you're right." Billie said, holding up his new gun to shoot a demon. Mike must have left a present for him.
Mary pulled out her guns and they both started shooting.
"What's you're name? asked Billie, in between shots.
"I don't have one," Mary said.
"Then what should I call you?
Mary didn't want to say her real name, so she stated "I don't care. Whatever."
"Whatever lady."
Billie slipped out of the crowd of demons.
"I'll catch up with you later," said Billie. He had better things to do.
"Cause I don't want to miss the party."
Mary cast a very evil look at Billie. Billie simply blew her a kiss and ran inside the new part of the tower.
