Jump 4: Shin Megami Tensei - The Jump

I arrived still in my Navi form much to my shock, and saw that there were nothing but demons around me.  My form was different to that of a normal human and they questioned me about it.  I lied and told them that I was a demon like them.  A digital demon, to be exact.  I had exceeded my programing and finally found a way to materialize into the real world.  I’m not sure where the story came from, but with my experience in dealing with criminals and the like on top of my newfound lying ability the demons bought it.

I showed them some of the things I was capable of to make them respect me and then started asking questions.  The answers I got, would dictate the course of my actions for the next ten years.  It seems I had just missed the battle that decided the fate of humanity, demons and even the divine on Earth.  Suffice to say, the demons got their survival of the fittest world that they could rule.  The cause was a human that was Adam himself reincarnated.  Why he would betray the Lord for demons is something I never could figure out. 

Nevertheless I was angry.  Angrier than I had ever been, and perhaps ever will be in my life.  I asked who the leader of this band of demons was and challenged him to a battle.  I was in luck, and the demon specialized in lightning magic.  I was able to absorb his attacks and use the energy to power my flamethrower.  After torching him I took command over the demons here and began to enact my plan. 

I gave all the demons that were now under my command a test. Those that proved strong enough got to live.  The rest were killed without a second thought.  The underground mall became my base of operations for the next ten years.  I’m surprised I was never discovered, but when you kill most demons that would be working under you I guess information doesn’t get around.  I recruited only the strongest demons I could control, and eliminated all others that I came across.  In a demon eat demon eat human world I was hardly questioned for my brutality.  There were a couple of coups attempted.  They never got past the only demon I gave a damn about though.

Her name is Alice.  A poor little girls with a twisted sense of morals that I convinced to be my second in command as I continued my revolution.  She agreed for whatever reason and I wasn’t forced to end her existence.  Her powers are quite extraordinary, and could even give me a hard time if I let my guard down.  Her signature spell “Die For Me” must have killed millions of weaker demons over the course of this ten years.  It struck fear in the hearts of demons all over, and helped put my name on the map. 

I knew that I couldn’t eradicate all the demons that chose to inhabit the Earth.  It was simply too gargantuan a task.  But what I could do, is amass an army of human survivors and train them.  Teach them the arts of demons, the ways of survival in this world, and most importantly; how to fight.  It took nine years and ten months to reach a point where I felt we could challenge Him.  But it was hopefully worth it.  My army launched an all-out assault on his followers first.  It took half a month, but they were eliminated with few casualties on our side.  Next were his generals.  Since I actually value human life I sent scores of demons as the vanguards, being supported by the human troops.  There were no human lives lost, but around half of my demon army perished during the struggle.  And most of my time was up as well.

With only days until I was forced to leave this world and let my army fight on without a leader I knew I had only one shot left.  I had to make it count.  Taking my most powerful demons with me, I infiltrated His abode and initiated a surprise attack.  Even caught off guard, He was not to be underestimated.  With power potentially rivaling that of a god I was made painfully aware that I wouldn’t be able to beat him before my time ended.  I can only hope I wore him down enough for the rest of humanity to rise up and complete what I started.  Alice is now accompanying me on future jumps.  Perhaps I can help sway the way she perceives the world.  Only time will tell.
