The Demons Within (Danti/Septiplier) - Ch. 4

Mark and Jack stumbled inside an empty classroom as Felix and Ken pushed them.

"What the fuck just happened?" Mark asked.

"Yeah. It's like I had no control over my body." Jack muttered.

Ken and Felix looked at each other with a worried expression. "Adrenaline?" said Felix. "From holding in all his bullshit all these years?"

"That explains Mark only. And he's the one who has anger issues." said Jack. "Besides, how is that supposed to explain the weird super powers we suddenly have?"

"It actually wasn't so sudden." Mark rubbed his fist. "Doesn't hurt that much either. Just a little sore." He mumbled.

Jack was about to ask further but was interrupted by a teacher yelling. "What are you four doing out here?! Lunch has ended! Get back to your classes!"

Jack groaned as they walked back into the building. "Think we're gonna get in trouble for the lunch thing?"

Mark shrugged. "I think they will ask us about it at least."

Ken shrugged. "Whatever the case, we gotta head to class. Meet you guys at the gate to head for Felix's?"

The rest of the three nodded and each walked to their respective classes, thinking about what happened during lunch.

Back in the Underground, War and Death are with Satan watching the demi-demons in a fiery orb, discussing the lunchroom issue.

"It seems their inner demons are developing quicker than expected." Satan observed.

"Merely held back by their human determinations thanks to their mothers. But when who they believe is their significant other is attacked in any way, they won't be able to hold complete control." War explained.

Death sighed. "What will we do? Pain and Panic can't fix their messes all time, Lucifer."

"What we need to make sure of now is that their subconscious attraction for each other grows and blossoms into love." coughed Satan, gagging as he said it. "So no one else may take their attention away."

War and Death winced. "Lucifer. That was extremely weird coming from you." said War.

Death cleared his throat. "We might as well let Pain and Panic know they need to make an effort to make sure they are together." Death said.

Satan nodded. "War, you're in charge of the sins. I know this may be bad but you may have to turn up their 'lust' sin."

War choked on his own spit. "Um. Sure Lucifer...I will arrange a specific date for that to happen."

Death rolled his eyes, already knowing War's plan. "What a surprise it will be." He said sarcastically.

Returning to the human world, Mark and Jack are waiting for Felix and Ken at the gate.

"So...what do you think happened?" Jack asked.

"I don't know." Mark said. "Felt like an instinct. Like it was in me the whole time. Something made me unable to control it and it unleashed itself."

"That's exactly how I felt." said Jack. "But your way looks normal, people probably just think you have inhuman strength. I'm probably more of a freak to others now." He sighed.

"Hey come on, Jack." said Mark, patting his back. "We both have no idea what we did. No need to get so worked up about it."

"What if something does? Like what if something like this happens again and we ended up actually killing somebody?" questioned Jack.

Mark shook his head. "Look we can worry about it later, ok?"

Jack nodded. "Ok. Now where the hell are they?!"

"We're here!" Felix shouted, running up to them with Ken.

"What took you guys so long?" asked Mark.

"Let's just say we suddenly needed to receive a message." Ken said. "Now come on, let's go have fun!"

"Wait! I gotta tell my mom." Jack said, holding up his phone.

"Oh, I did that already. Don't worry, your mom said to have fun." Felix said.

"Same for you, Mark." said Ken.

Mark chuckled. "What are you, our butlers?"

"Hey, it's not that big of deal, bro." Felix said. "Let's just go."

The fiery orb showing the four guys disappeared into burning smoke. Satan groaned in annoyance.

"What's wrong, Lucifer?" asked Death.

"We're going to have a bit of a problem." Satan sighed. "I received news about a couple of the female human teens crushing on your child, War."

"My child? Hasn't he always been popular?" asked War, confused. "What makes this different?"

"The difference is that Death's child is near this time." Satan explained. "And unlike your child who has trouble with anger, Death's child doesn't cope well with jealousy, War."

War nodded, but still has a confused look on his face.

"Lucifer doesn't mean jealousy as acting out of pure anger, War. Your child is possessive, overprotective, dominant, and anger is what triggers his inner demon the most. My child is more of a sneaky type. He's not as possessive as yours but jealousy isn't what he can control well." Death explained.

"Uh huh...I can also see your child is a bit of a masochist and a kinky seducer." War smirked.

Death facepalmed. "Yeah..."

Satan laughed. "Alright alright. No matter what, they're still your children. Besides, these are very normal for us demons." He said. "Especially those in development with their supposed powers. Now I don't know if cupid has been messing around, but a lot of the pink fluffies are happening in this school right now. I need them disposed, and they must be done by your children." Satan finished off with a gagging sound and walked away, leaving War and Death to work on being fathers.

The four boys arrived at Felix's house, and everyone took a tour around. "I just moved in, sorry if it's filled with boxes and stuff." Felix said.

"Dude, your house is awesome, bro!" Jack exclaimed. "You should've invited me over when you arrived immediately, man!"

"Hey, I need rest from a long ride!" said Felix, flailing his arms.

"Yeah right." muttered Ken, chuckling quietly.

"What was that, Ken?" asked Jack.

"Oh nothing! So what do you guys wanna do?" said Ken, changing the topic.

"How about we just sit down and talk? I wanna know more about you guys." said Mark, sitting down on the couch.

"Sure, I'd like that." Jack shrugged and joined the red head.

Felix turned to Ken, only to see Ken nodding and motioning to the two on the couch. Felix sighed quietly and joined them, sitting on the bean bag.

"So, what do you bros wanna talk about?" Felix started.

"Mark mentioned something about his super strength being not so sudden, I would like to know more about that." said Jack. "I mean, I know we've only known each other for less than a day. You don't have to tell us if you don't want to."

"Yeah Mark. No pressure." said Felix.

Mark looked at Ken, wondering if he should tell. Ken raised a brow and shrugged.

Mark sighed. "It all started when I turned 10..."
