Chapter 44 – 44 Did I Ever Mention How Hot Kat Is? It’s Around 150° Part 2
*This can't be normal. Um system what the hell is going on*
D.E.M.O.N.S IS UNSURE WHY USER KAT IS EXPERIENCING HIGH TEMPERATURES. WOULD USER KAT LIKE TO GRANT D.E.M.O.N.S PERMISSION TO DO A FULL BODY SCAN TO ATTEMPT TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM
*Yes, also why are you able to scan now when you just said you didn't know for so many other changes in my body*
D.E.M.O.N.S IS UNABLE TO SCAN REMOTELY AND IDENTIFY DEMONS' ABILITIES. USER KAT IS EXPERIENCE DRASTICALLY INCREASED TEMPERATURES WHICH IS NOT A STANDARD PART OF AWAKENING THUS D.E.M.O.N.S WISHES TO ENSURE THAT NO MAJOR ERROR HAS OCCURRED.

WARNING CRITICAL ERROR DETECTED
USER KAT, PLEASE LEAVE YOUR RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
*System what on earth is going on*
D.E.M.O.N.S WILL EXPLAIN THE ERROR TO USER KAT ONCE MOVING. PLEASE LEAVE THE VICINITY OF ANY OBJECT USER KAT DEEMS UNDESIRABLE TO DESTROY. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO LEAVE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT ENTIRELY.
*Shit ok*
"Hey Kat, what's wrong, your really pale. I mean, you were pale before but now it's a lot worse" said Vivian with a strained smile on her face
"I don't know, I've just been told to leave my residential area as soon as possible" said Kat as she moved towards the door.
"Wait, let me drive you, it will be fast" said Vivian. System is that safe?
D.E.M.O.N.S IS UNSURE. DEPENDING ON NECESSARY TRAVEL DISTANCE MAKING USE OF ADDITIONAL TRANSPORTATION MAY BE NECESSARY. HOWEVER IT IS RECOMMENDED TO TRAVEL THE FINAL LENGTH AWAY FROM INDIVIDUAL VIVIAN TO PREVENT COLLATERAL DAMAGE
"Vivian, apparently I might need your help, just this is going to be dangerous are you sure" said Kat
"Yup I'll just run upstairs first and get Callisto to make sure to keep an eye on Sylvie" said Vivian bolting upstairs. A short time later Kat was buckled into the back seat of the car and Vivian was pulling out of the driveway.
"So what exactly is going on, where am I headed" said Vivian
"I'm not exactly sure, the system said it would explain further when I'm on the road and it just told me to leave. I guess just away from the town maybe?" said Kat
"Well ask it, we need to know what's going on" said Vivian *Right system, can you explain now.*
YES. USER KAT IS SUFFERING FROM MASSIVE DEMONIC ENERGY OVERLOAD
*And why exactly is that?*
A CRITICAL ERROR ON D.E.M.O.N.S PART. TO FULLY AWAKEN A DEMON THEY MUST BE OVERLOADED ON DEMONIC ENERGY AND THEN LEFT IN THAT STATE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. IN USER KAT'S PRIOR INSTANCES THE GIVEN ENERGY WAS MUCH LESS AS EVEN MINOR AMOUNTS OF DEMONIC ENERGY WOULD BE SUFFICIENT. FOR THE FINAL STAGE OF AWAKENING USER KAT MUST CREATE HER DEMONIC FLAME. IN PREPARATION FOR THIS ALL DEMONS ARE GIVING LARGE AMOUNTS OF DEMONIC ENERGY IN THE TIME LEADING UP TO DEMONIC FLAME CONVERGENCE
*Right, so why did things go so wrong in my case.*
PROCESS FOR INJECTING DEMONIC ENERGY IS AUTOMATED AND NOT CLOSELY MONITORED. A USER IS DETERMINED TO HAVE SUFFICIENT ENERGY ONCE A CERTAIN AMOUNT BEGINS TO LEAK OUT FROM HOST INDICATING THAT USER'S BODY IS UNABLE TO HOLD ANYMORE DEMONIC ENERGY SAFELY. HOWEVER IN USER KAT'S CASE NO ENERGY IS OR HAS BEEN LEAKING OUT. THIS IS ALMOST CERTAINLY DUE TO THE UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES OF USER KAT'S DIMENSION.
*Well, keep explaining, the whole thing please*
UNDERSTOOD. EACH KNOWN DIMENSION SUPRESSES AT LEAST ONE FORM OF ENERGY 90% OF THE TIME. THIS SUPPRESSION LEADS TO A DOMINANT FORM OF GROWTH AMONGST THE SENTIENT AND NON-SENTIENT RACES. DEMONIC ENERGY HOWEVER IS UNIQUE IN THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SUPPRESS AND AS SUCH DIMENSIONS SIMPLY DON'T EVEN ATTEMPT IT AS FAILING TO SUPPRESS DEMONIC ENERGY THREATENS THE INTEGRITY OF THE UNIVERSE.
USER KAT'S DIMENSION INSTEAD SUPPRESSES ALL FORMS OF ADDITIONAL ENERGY AND THIS STRANGE FORM OF SUPPRESSION ACTUALLY DOES WORK ON DEMONIC ENERGY MUCH MORE EFFECTIVELY THAN ANY OTHER KNOWN DIMENSION. THIS SUPPRESSION FACTOR PREVENTED DEMONIC ENERGY FROM LEAKING FROM USER KAT'S BODY AND AS SUCH D.E.M.O.N.S CONTINUED TO ADD DEMONIC ENERGY LONG PAST THE POINT OF WHICH USER KAT'S BODY COULD SUSTAIN IT PROPERLY LEADING TO THE INCREASED TEMPERATURE AND CURRENT SITUATION
*So what is going to happen to me? You said it was too much for me to contain can I release it somehow?*
NEGATIVE, ATTEMPTING TO RELEASE EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF DEMONIC ENERGY WOULD ALLOW FOR A PATHWAY OUT OF THE BODY BUT ALSO THROUGH IT. THE RESULTING ENERGIES WOULD LIKELY TEAR USER KAT APART. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO AVOID USING ANY FORM OF DEMONIC ABILITY SUCH AS CALM AURA AT THIS TIME.
*Just great, and you didn't say what we are going to do about this.*
D.E.M.O.N.S IS CURRENTLY SUPPRESSING THE ENERGY TO THE FULLEST OF ITS CAPABILITIES. THE DIMENSION IS LIMITING THE ASSISTANCE D.E.M.O.N.S CAN PROVIDE AND TRANSPORTING USER KAT USING A SUMMONING CIRCLE AT THIS TIME COULD LEAD TO POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC RESULTS FOR USER KAT AND LIKELY IRRELEVANT DAMAGE TO D.E.M.O.N.S. D.E.M.O.N.S PLANS FOR USER KAT TO FIND A REMOTE LOCATION BEFORE D.E.M.O.N.S LOSES CONTROL OVER THE SUPPRESSION IT HAS PLACED ON USER KAT AND THEN USER KAT WILL NEED TO CONDENSE USER KAT'S DEMONIC FLAME TO ALLOW USER KAT TO CONTROL THE EXTRA ENERGY.
*Great, just great. So tell me what are the chances I die?*
IMPOSSIBLE TO ESTIMATE. DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF USER KAT'S DEMONIC FLAME AS WELL AS THE STAGE OF CONDENSING USER KAT IS ON DRASTICALLY CHANGES THE PROBABILITY OF DEATH.
*Just great, so what do I need to do to condense my Demonic Flame then?*
USER KAT MUST CONDENSE FURTHER AND CONTROL THE DEMONIC ENERGY WITHIN USER KAT. IT IS A DIFFICULT PROCESS TO EXPLAIN PROPERLY AND EACH INDIVIDUAL MUST SUPPRESS THE ENERGY IN A DIFFERENT WAY. THE MOST COMMON WAY TO CONDENSE A DEMONIC FLAME IS TO ATTEMPT TO SUPPRESS IT WITH USER'S AURA HOWEVER IT IS UNLIKELY THAT USER KAT'S AURA WILL WORK IN THIS INSTANCE
*Why not, won't it calm down the energy somehow? That is what it does?*
D.E.M.O.N.S DOES NOT POSSESS FULL DETAILS OF USER KAT'S AURA HOWEVER USER KAT'S AURA IS LIKELY INCAPABLE OF CONDENSING THE ENERGY WITH IT. PERHAPS IT CAN ASSIST IN THE CONDENSATION, BUT USER KAT'S AURA BEHAVES SO DIFFERENTLY TO STANDARD AURA'S THAT D.E.M.O.N.S DEEMS IT LIKELY TO BE UNSUITED FOR THE TASK.
*Great, so what else do can I try*
USER KAT WILL LIKELY HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO…

*System? Hey System? You still there.*
But no text appeared before Kat. *Shit ok that countdown has to be how long the system can keep the energy suppressed.*
"Ok Vivian, here's what I know. I'm supposed to be condensing a Demonic Flame" said Kat
"Well that isn't quite so bad" said Vivian
"And I'm probably going to explode" said Kat
"You seem awfully unconcerned about that" said Vivian
"Well it isn't a sure thing. So apparently, I've been given too much energy, so I need to get as far away from everything as possible before condensing it to avoid destroying too much stuff. So we have to get as far away as we can I around an hour and 40 minutes" said Kat
"Ok, I think I know a good road for that, why only an hour and 40 minutes" said Vivian
"Something interfered with the system I talk to at the end and it left me with a countdown, it said an hour and 43 minutes at the time and was counting down" said Kat
"Ok, righto" said Vivian who put her foot down and 'certainly' wasn't speeding. Though Kat couldn't say that.
A tense hour and fifteen minutes later Kat spotted a place to pull into just on the side of the road. "Vivian pull over here" said Kat
"Sure thing" said Vivian driving into the parking space.
"Why did we stop so early" said Vivian
"I plan to run the rest of the way, straight into the forest" said Kat
"Well I'm coming with you, it can't be safe out here" said Vivian
"Even if it isn't it's much more dangerous for you to come with me, besides I can fly away if anything to scary comes by" said Kat
"Ok, but you better promise to come back to me in one piece. I've only had my daughters for a day, and I don't want to lose one already. Gramps would kill me" said Vivian pouting, clearly willing to go with Kat despite the danger if she'd asked.
"I promise to come back, Vivian" said Kat as she sprinted off into the woods
