The alchemist continued to draw out the rest the symbols to finish the circle. The pure white chalk strained with the blood of the sacrifice. A half daemon, named Nero. The boy breathed heavily, each breathe burning though his chest. As blood ran down his head and out his nose and throat.

The alchemist name was Angus. He was the head alchemist at the research center of the Order of the Sword. For several weeks he had watched the boy learning his movements in order to kidnap him. Nero came to him. He found the laboratory which was hidden under Fortuna Castle. Credo sent him there to find the one called Dante. Who earlier had shot the leader of the Order. After being thrown against a wall by daemon possessed armor. The half daemon unknowing wakened his Devil Trigger. Nero's eye glowed blood red and a half form of a daemon stood behind him. Grapping a katana in his right hand. Nero walked forward blindly slashing out with new found power. Angus commanded the possessed armors to attack him. Nero defeated them easily until…

"Nero!" Kyrie cried. Nero stopped his turned back to their normal blue shade and the daemon behind disappear from sight. He mouthed the girls name slowly using his devil arm to grab her. Angus wrapped one hand her throat; his other hand gripped a sword's blade at her heart.

"Now young Nero, that I have your attention. D-d-d-do what I want or the girl g-g-g-gets it." A smile came to the alchemist face.

Moments later the half daemon was beaten by the armors and bound to a unfinished alchemy circle.

With the circle finished and the sacrifice ready Angus started the ritual. He chanted spells in a language Nero had never heard or cared for. He just wanted to get out. Finishing the chants Angus clasped his hands together then placed them on the lines of the circle…nothing happened.

"W-w-w-what did I do wrong?" He asked out loud. There was a alive sacrifice and fresh blood. What was wrong?

"Maybe a wrong sacrifice jackass!" Nero answered, "I get out of here-"

"You'll what?" Angus asked back, he held the blade to Kyrie's throat. Then the sharp blade cut her pale skin. Nero watched in horror as Kyrie's body fall to the circle. Blood pouring out from her body like a fountain. This time Nero broke the magic that bound his arms and legs, but it was to late. Angus clapped his hands and placed them again on the circle. The line of white lit up causing a terrible cracking sound. Just as Nero reached Kyrie's body he felt the pull of something. He looked back at his legs; his body fading before his every eyes. His clothes, skin and bone back to the particles that the peaces came from.

"No, Kyrie! Kyrie!!" The light shined brighter the rest of Nero's body faded away.

Just as his body faded he reappeared again. This time everything was gone and all that rest in front of his was a large black gate. It's wasn't like the hell gate but a larger gate. Around the outside of the door was statues of people. Their bodies twisting into one another turning into raging monsters. Nero's eyes went everywhere he didn't even see that he was naked. Then the giant gates opened and large eyes blinked staring back at him. The boy breathed heavily slowly took one step forward. As black boney hands grabbed him. Nero screamed tears running down his face as the hands pulled him back though the gate into what he thought might be hell.
