12 | what went wrong [closed - backdated to the night of the 7th]
Characters: Aleph and Sealand
Setting: Starting at the dorms first floor
Format: Actionspam
Summary: Aleph makes a questionable life decision allowing Sealand to accompany him monster-hunting. Then he makes a more questionable decision to get killed.
Warnings: Violence and death.
[If you really, seriously considered the worst case scenario and came up with 'we could all die', there was probably something wrong with what you were doing.
Oops. But he'd already promised Sealand he could come, so now all he could do was make sure he did all he could to keep him safe.
Just before nightfall, Aleph waited outside Sealand's door, dressed in armor and with his sword and guns on him. His Arm Terminal was strapped to his arm as usual, ready at a moment's notice to call his demons.
With any luck, they would find their targets quickly and be able to return to bed.
Aleph knocked on his door.] Sealand, are you ready?

[Aleph sees Sealand run into danger and moves without thinking.
Sealand can't be hurt because of him. There's no way he would be able to face himself after that. That's why he doesn't hesitate to put himself in between the two of them.
Especially knowing exactly what God can do..]
Beelzebub, grab Sealand and go-
Die, scum of man!
[God lets out his voice.
And that's enough to kill anyone, human, demon, or angel. In front of Sealand, Aleph collapses in a heap, no longer able to support himslf now that he's died.
Out of the corner of his eye, Sealand may see a small demon about half a foot high, skitering around near him.]
no subject
Is he...? No...!]
Aleph!
[He's about to rush toward him, is practically already falling in that direction. But he sees the little creature then, and suddenly he knows what to do. As soon as he spots the tiny monster moving toward him, his foot collides down upon it, breaking the creature's neck instantly.
His fears are suddenly just an horrific memory, the floor nothing more than a cavern again, no giant heads and no numbing sense of rejection. The demise of the creature does not make Aleph any better however, and Sealand runs over to his body immediately.]
Aleph! Aleph! [He doesn't wake up, of course. And Sealand can't stop the tears falling, sobbing with his fist full of Aleph's shirt.] ...'Sorry.
[He waits until the retrieval unit comes to take the body away before walking quietly back to his room, lucky enough to meet no monsters on the way back.
Crawling into bed and eyes still full of tears, he reminds himself Aleph will be back soon. Sealand will have to make it up to him. A lot.]
