playing charades

the heir of satan's power must travel the galaxy extinguishing the flames of satan.

Chapter 1: a strange phenomenon
It was a lively dinner party, with people from all over, some from Einnim Galaxy, some from Scarlet Galaxy, and many more. Just as the people were about to make the toast, a very loud noise interrupted them, it was a burst of multi-colored fire. People rushed over to see what caused it, then a voice on the loudspeakers said; “do not be afraid, we have the situation under control.” Everyone was relieved by that, but then, a swarm of guards brought in a young thirteen-year-old boy. He had blue hair, and he was wearing black clothes as if he were at a funeral. He was chained up, he had handcuffs, and his eyes and mouth were covered. The guards handcuffed him to the world’s most immovable post, and with his one free hand, he touched the flame. His hair turning every color that the fire had been, the fire extinguished, and the boy’s blindfold fell off, revealing demonic eyes, and he lunged at the guests. Now, if I were you, I’d wonder what was happening, but don’t worry, I’ll explain. So, let’s rewind. Long ago, a curse was put on a small town. That one day, they would have to bear the demon child, the Sādàn zhīzǐ the best Child in their town, would become the demon destroyer, the holder of Satan’s power but an angel came down and assured them that this child would not be beyond redemption, and if the town properly raised each of their children, then the curse would be lifted. It was natural for the people of that town to assume that the curse meant their best-behaved child. So, naturally, they kept close watch over the amazingly behave children, and ignored the badly behave ones. Luckily there was only one badly behaved child. His name, was Móguǐ zhīzǐ. “Mogi!” shouted his mother, Lili zhīzǐ, “you forgot your lunch!” now, Móguǐ was a bit of a rebel, so no one ever suspected that he could possibly be the; Sādàn zhīzǐ. Móguǐ ran to school. As always, he was late. But he couldn’t help it, he always had a horrible nightmare, and woke up in the basement. So, he had to do everything super-fast. Even though he was just another average twelve-year-old, he could always go very fast. Today, it was July 4th, the day their galaxy was founded. So, in celebration, Móguǐ’s school was putting on a play, since Móguǐ was only one who didn’t audition, they made him the villain of the story, Satan. Of course, he couldn’t turn down a chance to play the villain. So, on the day of the show, he actually showed up. “Hi Mogi!” said the lead, Lilac, “I’m so glad you came!” everyone called Móguǐ Mogi, because Móguǐ was Chinese for devil. The play started, after everyone was done getting ready. Mogi was the evil Satan, who was trying to destroy the kingdom of lanolin, the queen of lanolin had to face him. “Give up queen Lilac!” said Mogi, Playing the part, “I’ve won and you’ve lost!” “Never!” said Lilac, playing queen Lilac, “you may have won, and you may have servants, but I have something better, Love!” the crowd was clearly invested, but Mogi was just bored. He laughed in Lilac’s face, “you think love can save you from Satan? Queen Lilac you are more foolish than my demons said.” Lilac pulled out a paper Mache heart, and pretended to shoot it at Mogi, he couldn’t believe how they told the story, it just felt like they were telling it wrong. “Your puny amount of love has no effect on me,” Mogi said without thinking, “and the way you are trying to defeat me is futile,” Lilac was confused, Mogi wasn’t doing at all what he was supposed to. “Mogi,” she said under her breath, “what are you doing?” “I am telling the story the way it really happened!” said Mogi, he turned to the crowd, “this story is a lie!” the crowd gasped, they thought it was just part of the show. But what they didn’t realize, was that Mogi wasn’t saying any of this on purpose. “What am I saying?” he thought, “why am I saying it?” then on the stage, a flame appeared, but something was strange about it, it was multi-colored; red, blue, orange, yellow, green, purple, and pink. Everyone else on stage ran away screaming, but Mogi walked toward it, a strange force was pulling him back, but he kept walking. “Mogi don’t!” said Lilac, “it’s dangerous!” she ran onto the stage and tried to pull him away, but she failed Mogi walked towards it, as if in a trance. The people watching figured out that this wasn’t part of the show, they ran onto the stage and pulled Mogi backwards, but they failed too, and Mogi touched the flame. Immediately, his hair turned the colors of the flame, his eyes turned demonic, and now he had fangs, Demon wings, and a demon tail. He stood up and smiled evilly at the crowd. “Mogi?” said Lilac “afraid not young girl,” said Mogi “stay back Lilac,” said her mom, “that’s not your friend,” “friend?” said Mogi, “that’s an exaggeration.” Mogi’s mom slowly approached him, “who are you?” she asked, “and why are you posing as Mogi?” Mogi smiled coldly, “he is the only one who can endure the flames.” In demonstration, he waved his fingers, and a small flame appeared, then he extinguished it by closing his hand. “I am the one who all of you fear. I am Satan.” At the mention of that name, thunder crashed, lightning fell, and the crowd fearfully backed away. “When will we get Mogi back?” asked Lilac “never.” Said Satan, “now I will always be in this body, until it dies.” Lilac started crying, so did Mogi’s parents. Satan smiled, as if he was pleased by that reaction. Then, he lunged for the crowd. No one had any time to think, then a heavenly beam of light descended, in it was an angel holding a spear made of pure light. They thrusted the spear at Satan, and he collapsed. “Do not be afraid,” said the angel to the crowd, “he cannot hurt you.” Mogi’s mother was too worried for her son to be amazed at the angel. “Will Mogi be, ok?” she asked. The angel seemed pleased at her question. “Do not worry,” they said, “your son Móguǐ will be alright. He shall be taken away, but do not fear, for he shall be safe, and you shall see him again.” The angel disappeared. Mogi’s mother rushed over to Mogi. He was passed out. His mother searched him to make sure he didn’t have any demonic features, and to her relief, he didn’t. “Oh Mogi,” she said to him, “how could I have not seen it.” Then a group of masked figures came into the room. one was wearing a snake mask, one was wearing a fox mask, one was wearing a dragon mask, one was wearing a dove mask, and one was wearing an eagle mask. They went over to Mogi, and they put him in a cage. “What are you doing?!” asked Lilac, “who are you?!” the person in the dove masked walked over to her. “We are the masked order, we are taking your friend to our headquarters, he will have to face judgement.” Will we ever see him again?” asked Lilac. The person tilted their head in confusion, “we will see.” They finally said. They took Mogi away, and left the auditorium. “I hope Mogi will be ok,” said Lilac “me too,” said Mogi’s mom, “me too.” When Mogi woke up, he had no idea where he was, all he knew was that he was tied with chains, to a metal pole, he had a blindfold on, and he had a gag. “Móguǐ zhīzǐ, twelve years old,” said a person, “five foot two.” Mogi tried to speak, but it felt impossible. “Nicknamed, Mogi,” the person continued, “no trace of family history associated with the devil, that’s peculiar.” Mogi struggled to free himself, but the more he struggled, the tighter the chains became, he tried to spit out his gag, but it was tied tightly all around his head. Whoever imprisoned him knew about good security. He struggled until his legs and his arms hurt. “it’s better to just give up,” said the person, “it’d save us both a lot of trouble.” Mogi tried to speak, but again, he couldn’t. “Let me get that,” said the person, they took of Mogi’s gag, now he could speak. “Who are you?!” he asked, “where am I? why am I tied up?” “I am only authorized to answer three questions.” Said the person, “first, I am Paloma, you are in the masked order headquarters, and you are tied up because-” then a different person who was wearing a dragon mask. came in. “Paloma!” they said, “why are you interacting with this monster!?” “Dragona,” said Paloma, “he is currently himself, the young pre-teen boy.” “What difference would that make?” asked Dragona, “at least you only took off his gag and not his blindfold, chains, or binding spell.” “Binding spell?” asked Mogi “great,” said Paloma, she took a deep breath, and snapped her fingers. Suddenly, Mogi was in a glowing blue cage being pushed into a huge room. “w-where am I?” he asked he touched one of the bars, and it hurt him. “Ow!” he said, and sat back down. “Careful,” said Paloma, “this cage has special bars.” “Where are you taking me?” Mogi asked her “the place where you’ll be judged.” Paloma replied, “it’s a lot like court.” Mogi couldn’t believe that he was in court, he didn’t even know what he was going to be blamed for, how could he provide a valid testimony? “Palona,” said Mogi, “what is this trial about?” Palona looked surprised, “wait,” she said, “you don’t know? He didn’t tell you?” “No,” said Mogi, “who?” Palona was about to speak, but she was interrupted by the judge who had a turtle mask. “Palona,” they said, “is this the boy?” “Yes,” said Palona, “this is him.” “Who?” asked Mogi, “why am I here?” “I see he does not know,” said the judge. “Yes, your majesty,” said Palona. “Very well,” said the judge, “we are gathered here today to judge Móguǐ zhīzǐ; Satan’s child.” “What?!” said Mogi, “Satan’s Child?!?” he would’ve passed out from shock, but he stopped himself. “Let us commence.” Said the judge, “Palona, please present your discoveries.” “Yes sire,” said Palona, “I have learned that Móguǐ will only become Satan if he comes into contact with his flames, if he is extremely angry, sad, or frustrated, Or, if he is in incredible danger.” “I see,” said the judge, “restrain him.” suddenly, chains flew over to Mogi and chained him up. Then a blindfold covered his face, and a gag flew into his mouth. “Your majesty,” said Palona, “if we could just-” the judge raised his hand for silence, “Palona,” he said, “we need to know what we are dealing with.” Palona solemnly nodded. Then threw a dagger straight at Mogi’s face. With nothing left to do, he raised his hand, and caught it. Then it burst into flames. His face changed, his eyes turned demonic, he grew fangs, and a demon tail. “Hello again Tortuga,” he said with an evil smile, “I haven’t seen you since the great war of 1123.” “Satan.” Said Tortuga, “why have you taken control of this boy?” “As I told the others,” Said Satan, “he is the only suitable host, all my other ‘human’ children didn’t survive the exposure, but this one is special.” Tortuga gasped, then he made a sign with his fingers, the ancient symbol for warding off evil. Satan collapsed, and Mogi was himself again. Of course, he was lights out in a cage tied up with Chains, a blindfold and a gag. “Palona,” said Tortuga, “take him to the most protected room in the castle, I need to decide.” “Yes, your majesty,” said Palona. She teleported Mogi to a secure room. a few hours later, Mogi woke up. “What happened?” he thought, “where am I?” then he remembered, he was in the order of the mask’s headquarters. He felt himself being teleported somewhere. “of course, we will” said Palona to Tortuga. Then she took off Mogi’s gag and blindfold. He saw that he was in the judgement room. “Móguǐ zhīzǐ,” said Tortuga, “you will be strictly protected by the entire order of the mask. You will have to go across the galaxy and extinguish the flames.” Mogi was enraged, he didn’t know why, but he just felt the sudden urge to go up and stab Tortuga with his own claws. “Snap out of it,” he told himself, “You’re not thinking straight.” “You will have to have someone to look after you, and make sure you do not go on a killing spree as Satan.” Said Tortuga, “for that, we have an angel.” In a beam of light, an angel descended on top of Mogi’s cage. “This is Theresa.” Said Tortuga, “she will be your guardian angel.” “don’t I already have one?” asked Mogi. “No,” said Palona, “when you were born, your guardian angel was driven away by Satan.” Mogi had mixed feelings about this. “Remember,” said Tortuga, “if you ever have any trouble, say it out loud, and one of our members will help.” “Ok,” said Mogi. “Wait, how will your members know?” “We will be keeping an eye on you.” Said Palona. Mogi wasn’t sure how to feel about that. But he decided to keep to the more pressing issue. “Will I ever see my family again?” he asked. Palona hesitated, it was clear that she didn’t see her family often either. “Do not worry about such things,” said Tortuga, “you are the son of Satan, not an average kid.” Mogi already hated this guy; he glared at him. “Palona,” said Tortuga, “take Mr. Móguǐ here to his room. he and Theresa will leave tomorrow.” Mogi wanted to argue, but he was so tired. He toppled over and lie on the floor of his cage. Tortuga sighed. “Your majesty?” said Palona “I’m fine Palo,” said Tortuga, “you may go.” “But-” said Palona. “Palona tórtola!” said Tortuga. “Apologies.” Said Palona. She left with Mogi’s cage. Tortuga turned around, and picked up a book titled; ‘ancient curses’ he flipped to one of the pages. “It can’t be!” he said. Then the person in the snake mask came in. “your majesty,” they said, “we need your approval for project Akumaharai” “Yes,” said Tortuga, “Serpiente, I approve.” “Sir?” said Serpiente “I’m afraid that Móguǐ zhīzǐ is more dangerous than any of us perceived.” Said Tortuga. Serpiente bowed, then left the room. “Beware Móguǐ zhīzǐ,” said Tortuga, “the power of Satan is a dangerous one. Anyone who accepts it will no doubt, be lost forever.” He put down the book, and picked up a phone, he dialed a number. “Taka,” he said, “I have a mission for you.”
