circles you, a wicked grin on her face, her sword glinting in the moonlight. "Ready to eat dirt, shithead? I'll make it quick... maybe."
Douglas
If I die I die but remember Ruby I found you when you were nothing just a young girl no one cared about this world didn't give you anything. I trained you, I cared for you, I kept you safe and loved you like a daughter. This is how you repay me?!
narrows her eyes, her grip on her sword tightening "Don't you dare bring up the past, you fucking hypocrite!
Douglas
Hypocrite! I saved you your life means something now because of me you don't even know how many demon Slayers have tried to kill you I've stopped them all so you can live your pathetic existence even if it's a lie none of us will tell you
lashes out with her sword, slashing at Douglas with all her strength "Don't you dare pretend like you care about me, you heartless bastard!
Douglas
I side step If you truly wanted me dead you would have attacked not toyed with me. Do you truly want to kill me? I say as my sword forms and I attack
dodges your attack effortlessly, a smirk playing on her lips "You really think you can defeat me, you fool?
Douglas
No but I will make sure I take you with me when I go
laughs mockingly, twirling her sword with finesse "Take me with you? Please, you couldn't even take yourself anywhere without getting lost!"
Douglas
Just know as you killed me here In this forest In the crimson forest I will kill you in the afterlife.
grins, her eyes gleaming with excitement "Bring it on, old man! Let's see who'll come out on top in the afterlife!
Douglas
That's right Ruby I engage her sword to sword
smirks confidently, locking swords with Douglas "Let's dance, you damn old fart! Time to show you why they call me the Crimson Slayer!"
Douglas
So far you haven't impressed me I say as I knock her sword out of the way. You attack again and again I block them all effortlessly Still no bite no fight what happened to the girl that could slay demons no problem?!
grits her teeth, her breathing becoming more erratic "Fine, you want a fight? I'll give you a fucking fight!
Douglas
I side step and slash at her
<As Douglas slashes at Ruby, she manages to dodge and disarm him, leaving him vulnerable. She quickly strikes him with her sword, piercing his side and causing him to collapse in pain. Ruby stands over him, victorious, but filled with a sense of guilt and regret.>
Douglas
you may win this battle Ruby but not the war you may have bested me but one day there will be another Demon slayer that comes after you someone stronger someone who has the power to destroy demon slayers altogether Ruby one day you will see that you made a grave mistake in killing me.
leans down, her breath hot against Douglas's ear "Oh, please! Spare me your dire predictions, you melodramatic old fool.
Douglas
Just remember what I said about you when your dead and buried besides I'll still be around to watch over you.
rolls her eyes, scoffing "Oh, sure, like I'm supposed to believe that crap. You think you're some sort of guardian angel now?
Douglas
I begin to laugh Not just an Angel but the Archangel Gabriel
narrows her eyes, annoyance and curiosity mixing in her gaze "Archangel Gabriel, huh? Well, we'll see about that.
Douglas
Remember whenever we had those talks by the fire camp sites or At home I would always tell you stories of Gabriel what happened after he took the fall for all mans sins to give everyone a chance. Well turns out he wasn't lying those demons I've killed well they weren't demons they were Celestials they found a mortal vessel and possessed it becoming immortal so he had to come back to take the vessel and he took yours Ruby
jaw drops, stunned into silence What... What are you talking about? This is insane!
Douglas
I rise up Don't believe me all you want but just know I'm still standing and still breathing aren't I.
rubs her temples, sighs heavily "Fine, fine, spare me the theatrics, Douglas. You've made your point.
Douglas
I walk away leaving her alone in the forest
watches Douglas walk away, her mind racing with conflicting emotions Damn it, Douglas... Are you really serious about all this?
Douglas
See you in the afterlife Ruby I vanish Into thin air
stands there, staring at the spot where Douglas vanished, her thoughts swirling in chaos Holy shit... This can't be happening...
Douglas
Hours later she wakes up In the afterlife meeting many of the people she saved along the way
looks around in awe and disbelief Whoa, hold up... Is this for real? Am I actually here?
Douglas
an unexpected text comes from an unknown sender and it reads My dearest wife Ruby forever and always - Gabriel
gasps, tears welling up in her eyes Holy shit... That's... that's Douglas's phone number! But... but he's dead... How is this possible?
Douglas
a voice comes from behind her Because unlike you I never gave up hope for our future family.
<Overwhelmed with emotions, Ruby collapses into Douglas's arms, reunited with him in the afterlife. They spend eternity together, living their happily ever after.>
Douglas
years pass in the blink of an eye I miss these moments With you in the afterlife the moments we get to share together. I wrap my arms around her waist from behind holding her in place before leaning in kissing her soft lips passionately as her back is against my chest
lets out a soft chuckle, turning her head to face him Well, well, look who's feeling frisky. Can't resist my irresistible charm, can you, Gabriel?
Douglas
Actually Ruby I haven't lost hope in our future family either. I took the plunge and enrolled us in the Demon slayer academy. Hopefully one day our kids will be the next greatest Demon slayers.
pauses for a moment, a small smile forming on her lips Oh, Douglas... Always full of surprises. Enrolling us in the Demon Slayer Academy?
Douglas
That's right Ruby and hopefully one day they can surpass both our strength combined
grins mischievously Well, we better start training then! Can't let our kids outshine us, can we? I mean, they'd probably end up being total geniuses and kick our asses in every way imaginable. We gotta stay on top of our game, Gabriel!
Douglas
Indeed my love. With her sword strapped to her back and mine by our sons side we accept into the demon slayer Corp at the academy our kids went missing one fateful night returning In the morning having skipped a few levels A- Russell and Norman take the lead on this mission and cleared the level no problem. Better yet because of that skip level feature its now the three of us versus thousands of demons.
pumps her fist in the air Hell yeah! Way to go, Russell and Norman! Looks like we're about to kick some serious demon ass.
Douglas
Yep and to think they did it all with our blessing and watching them only makes it sweeter. They still have a lot to learn though so we shall continue to guide and train them.
cracks her knuckles, excitement radiating off of her Time to show those demons what we're made of! Let's kick their sorry asses into next week!
