Welcome, to the International Demon Wrangling Company. Though we are paid to catch demons, the best way to catch a demon is to use a demon, right? And, as such, demons of any shape, size, and disposition are recruited, and are sent out on missions to capture rogues. We're constantly increasing, and need all the help we can get.
Even if you're not a demon, we've got you covered with the latest demon-catching equipment.
So, please, put down your name, age, gender, species, and whether or not your a demon, mortal, or a vessel.

Thanks. >u<

((A little later than what I wanted, but we shall begin!))
The bright LED sign in front of the large, imposing building just outside of Las Vegas lit up like a Christmas tree. 'Demon Catchers INC.' shone brightly in gold bordered black letters. 'We catch'em so you don't need too' sits below, in a smaller font. A bus, embellished with crosses, both upright and upside down, rolled through the front gate, bringing in the new recruits for the company. The owner, one Ronald Sovitas, stood in his top-floor office, watching the bus. A cross hug from a pendant wrapped around his wrist, and the massive raccoon lifted the cross to his lips, whispered a prayer, and kissed the crucifix, smiling. "We do God's work," he whispered to himself "if He wants us to or not."
((Ray will be modified, so if you wish, the character sheet's gonna change up.))
-
((As normal, Friday is a poor day for me, but I will try to post a little if I can. Don't wait for me though))
There was nothing holy about Angder, in fact, he found the whole god thing a bit farcical, an axe was far more reliable. He climbs out of the bus, looking at the building ahead. "NICE." He states.
-
Keinai stepped off of the bus, taking in her surroundings. Her legs felt clammy and stiff from the uncomfortable seat she had sat in for an hour or so, and she stretched to relieve the ache. She studied the imposing building in front of her, the neon lights reflecting in her eyes, making her blue eye green and her yellow eye even more vivid.
-
The hybrid stepped out of the vehicle. she looked at the building with her eyes holding her calm expression. The Serynx keeping her distance from others her head high and tail swaying in its regular pattern studying this along with taking some mental notes.
-
Ray stepped out from the bus, and looked on at the structure. "So...this is the place?"
-
Angder heads up to the front door of the structure. He tries to open the door. "Our new boss is inside I assume" he states. "Sooner I am in the Field or whatever, the better."
-
A set of maids opened the doors, and ushered everyone inside. The doors were embossed again with crosses. Ronnie started down the elevator to his office, but was already calling out to the group. "Welcome, new bloods!"

Resume Sheet:
Name: (Last, First, Middle): Zephyr Ryhpez
Age: Appears around 16 years of age; could be older.
Species: Cat
Gender: Male
Disposition: Strange, but personable. Peripatetic. Also, the sort of person who looks up words before answering questions on a forum RP sheet.
Tact: Varies. Usually works well with others.
Preferred weapon(s): Serac (a indigo-colored grasscutter sword with a pale blue blade that is not quite what it seems),A very special modified P229 Sport, a silver stake, daggers, a strange pair of gauntlets he always seems to wear. Also, he is a very, very skilled illusionist to the point that he can fake injuries without even being present.
And then there's Ryk....
Anything else of note: Very blue eyes. He also has a strange metallic scar that sort of runs through his left eyebrow and down his right cheek; if the eye is closed, it is clear that the scar goes over his eyelid as well. Also, since there was no section for it, what he is will come to light in the RP. He's quite powerful, but cannot take on really powerful demons all by his lonesome most of the time.
If you really want to know, though.... Look up Blinded in Chains.
-
Ronnie stepped into the main lobby, and a voluptuous lady-raccoon seemed to appear behind him. He observed the newcomers with a keen eye, before he clapped his paws together, and spoke. "So...these are the new recruits?"
-
"Yup" Angder states "we are them."
-
Ronnie nodded. "Good. I'm Mr. Sovitas, though most people here call me Ronnie. And this is..." He motioned to the lady-raccoon behind him, who picked up the rest of his comment.
"Valentine." She smiled, peering over the thin rimmed glasses she wore.
Ronnie turned slightly, and smirked. "She's a demon, in case any of you were getting ideas."
-
Zaida in silence. wasn't impressed by the building, but she still studied. Her ears flicked slightly turning her head around giving her attention to the raccoon who then beginning to talk to a wolf. Not wanting to stare she turned her head back alining with her body.
-
Ronnie shook his head. "Anyway, you new guys have orientation in a few hours. Valentine will show you to your rooms. Get settled, then meet me back out here."
-
"not quite sure what you were implying there... but fair enough... Lead the way." Angder looks over at Valantine. Ready to follow her.
-
Zaida turns around ready to be escorted to her room but the femal raccoon. She approached but not close, waiting.
-
Zephyr walked forward, his hands in the pockets of the long black overcoat he wore and his face concealed by the Van Helsing-styled hat he wore. An indigo-colored grasscutter hung from his belt.
-
After showing everyone to their rooms, Valentine turned, and spoke. "Ronnie will be waiting in the lobby, with food." She nodded, and disappeared.
-
Name (last, first): Riverside, Tempest
Age: 18
Species: Small Elemental Demon (works best with water) ((is that kind of demon ok?))
Gender: female
Demon gender: male
Tact: Looks like a child, easily trusted/not seen as suspicious, is easy to open up to, cunning, looks innocent
Personality: childish, mischievous , adventurous, brave, polite with strangers.
Demon personality: cunning, ruthless, doesn't respond to pain much when engaged in a fight.
Appearance: a red panda, when her demon comes out the fur changes from orange to blue. Small, round face with green eyes. Skinny, flexible, and quick.
She walked in, looking up at the ceiling and walked to the nearest worker. "Excuse me? I'm sorry I'm late, can you show me where the rooms will be?"
-
Zephyr took a brief moment to check his weapons, and considered leaving his coat and hat on until later.
-
Ronnie heard the newcomer, and smiled, approaching with his arms spread wide. "Hello! You're a touch late on your first day, miss. Not good practice." He smiled, and knelt. "Just wait here, the others will be around shortly. Miss Valentine will show you to your room later."
((Any kind of demon is fine, Tempest.))
-
She nodded. "I apologize, I have no excuse for being late. And thank you." She looked around and set her shoulder bag down, opening it, and rummaging through for her charm. The lanyard looped around her claw and she smiled. "Aha!" She pulled up and looked at the little bottle she had attached to the lanyard. It was filled with blue salt and water and sealed with white candle wax. She slipped the lanyard around her neck and looked down at it. "There, that should keep you at bay." She said to her soul "companion" (as she like to call him).
-
Ronnie smiled. "A ward. It seems you aren't very happy with your...how do I say this...significant other?"
-
She looked up at him and chuckled. Smiling, she said "Oh, well, he's only useful in battle, and being a demon, he likes 'challenges'." She showed him a couple vials, some with salt and water, another with soil and silver flakes in it. "He's an elemental, but he works best with water, were working on his earth skills. We would work on his fire abilities," she looked at a spark glove in her bag, "but he is so stubborn and reckless I'm afraid he'll hurt himself."
-
Ronnie chuckled, patted Tempest's head gently, and stood. "Teaching a demon? Now I've heard everything."
-
She smiled and chuckled. "It certainly is work, especially with how excited he gets about taking over our body."
-
Ronnie nodded. "Most demons love the physical world. Or our's at least." He shrugged, and looked around, patting his pockets. "Where did I leave my pipe?"
-
She pointed at the counter without looking up, putting her vials back in her bag. "Is there a fighting arena here by chance?"
-
Ronnie looked over at the counter, and raised an eyebrow. After a few moments, he sniffed, and pulled the pipe from inside his jacket. "There you are. And yes, but we'll get to that later, little miss."
-
She nodded and put lifted her bag up again, putting the strap over the shoulder. She chattered softly and purred. "Where are the others?"
-
Ronnie drew from his pipe, and smoke poured over his teeth as he spoke. "In their dorms, probably. They'll be here any minute." He looked down at Tempest, and spoke. "What brings you to my little company, my sweet?"
-
She shrugged. "I've got nothing better to do with my life, and I can't get a job because of Him." She looked up at him and hesitantly asked. "Does..um..does doing this pay?"
-
A tall, lean looking male walked towards Ronnie and the red panda. His slender paws were lazily stuck in his pockets and he walked like a high class model.
-
Ronnie nodded. "Every demon captured, every corrupt soul put to rest." He smiled. "A third of the employees own more cars than they can drive. Fifty-thousand a head, and you'll be collecting a lot." Ronnie peered down at Tempest, and held his pipe between his teeth a moment, before speaking again. "Why do you ask? One at your age, or at least the age you appear to be, shouldn't be worried about money." As the new figure approached, Ronnie looked up and spoke. "Ah, another one who missed the bus. Miss Valentine!" Valentine appeared behind the large raccoon that was her boss, and peered at Tempest, before moving her gaze to the newcomer. "New recruits?" She asked, cleaning her glasses.
-
"Just wondering." She looked over at the raccoon and purred. She then looked over to the tall stranger.
-
Zephyr wandered into the lobby, having finally decided to keep his coat and hat on.
-
She looked at Zephyr. "See? I knew I couldn't be the only late person."
-
Zaida already escorted to her room earlier but didn't enjoy sitting around, so she decided to go out. The Serynx kept her head high while walking around the building her hands folded behind her back.
-
Zephyr cocked an eyebrow, but didn't say anything.
-
Acon rolled his eyes and flashed Ronnie a smile. "Always fashionably late."
-
Zephyr sighed and walked up to the others. ".... Hello."
-
Tempest smiled and held her hand out. "Hi, I'm Tempest."
-
Ronnie shrugged. "Better late than never." He drew again from his pipe, before speaking. "Alright, I know you just got here, but I've had this annoyance bothering me for a while. Three miles down the road is a small town, Sharlloton. Some demon...I don't know what sin off the top of my head."
Valentine intervened. "Lust, sir. He's been destroying that town from the inside. Neighbors fighting amongst themselves, trying to get what the other has." She shook her head. "Shame, I liked that town."
Ronnie nodded, and sighed. "So you're gonna find the demon, and kill him." He looked around. "A bus'll take you there, clear? Oh, and keep a straight head while you're there. No innocents killed, and don't fight against each other, okay?"
-
Tempests fur shimmered a blue tinge for a moment and she grinned wickedly. "Awesome.." She looked around and sighed, holding the charm around her neck.
-
As she studied paintings she then Heard mutiple voices down the hall, curious Zaida began to follow where it seemed to be coming from before running into the small group of furs in the lobby. "A mission already, starting without me?"
-
Zephyr shook Tempest's hand. "Zephyr Ryhpez," he murmured to Tempest before turning to Ronnie. "Of course, sir." The cat's eyes turned red for a moment and, suddenly, he kissed Ronnie on the cheek. "Sure thing, you," a different voice said very flirtatiously as the cat's mouth curled into a smile. After a few seconds, Zephyr shook his head and seemed to look both annoyed and embarrassed. "Uh... sorry."
-
((AHH! Starting to happen on the one day I can't RP ; _ ; ))
Angder sits in the lobby, listening intently.
((If this is going to happen mainly on Friday, I should drop. I can not do more than 3 posts a DAY on Friday until about 5 hours from now ((11PM on my end.)) ))
-
She looked up at Zephyr's "break" as she called it and giggled. "You're a demon too?" She chuckled. "I like your eyes." Tempest smiled. "If you've got problems containing him/her, I could make you a charm." She held up hers.
-
((I don't think it'll just be Friday, Angder. I'll get you up to speed if things start kickin' off, if you wish.))
-
Zephyr blushed deeply. "Um... That would be nice, I suppose," he said. "I mean... they're already contained, but sometimes they... pop out."
-
"They?" She quirked an eyebrow. "There are more than one?"
-
Cifero shrugs. "I'm not sure... I may have accidentally picked another one up somewhere," he said. "...Was the voice I used male or female?"
-
She shrugged. "I wouldn't know, but I'm sure my demon would know, speaking of which." She trailed off. "He needs a name..."
-
Zephyr rubbed his arm a little. "That usually helps," he said, touching his metallic eye scar. "...I think there's another one in there now. Yeah."
-
She nodded and looked at the Raccoon. "Can we go to our dorms, please?"
-
Zephyr sighed. "It can wait," he said. "We have to take care of the demon..."
-
Ronnie shook his head. "Strange. You really should get that demon under control." He glanced at Valentine, who looked like she was about to tear Zephyr in half. Ronnie nodded. "Yeah, but I need you guys to get this job done quickly. Within the next few hours, you need to be in Sharlloton."
Ray watched the event unfold, and was very confused. He'd been there the whole time, just not doing anything.
-
Zephyr nodded. "We will, sir," he said, tapping his eye scar. That eye flashed orange for a moment.
-
Tempest nodded and headed for the door. "I'll go see if there's a bus that'll take us there, be right back." She went outside and down the street where the bus times were posted.
-
Zephyr waited patiently.
-
She came back. "Alright, we'd better go now, it'll be down the block in 5 minutes."
-
"Okay," Zephyr said, walking out the door. "It's a good thing I never really unpacked..."
-
She chuckled. "Yeah, me too." She played with the vial around her neck and shook it a bit.
-
Zephyr drew the grasscutter at his side just enough to look at part of the blade, as though checking to make sure it was alright. Pushing it back in, he then began to pull out and check all of his other weapons. While most of the things he pulled out were standard demon-fighting stuff, there were a few odd things, such as a modified P-229 Sport and a long silver stake. He also wore a pair of gauntlets that appeared to be made out of the same material as his scar.
-
(So does everyone do the mission or just you two?)
-
((It's everyone, Z.))
-
Angder walks as fast as he can out the door, his axe already on his back. Twin revolvers also ready. He had a shotgun, but no ammunition for it. That was probably bad planning. "Shouldn't be too hard."
-
Zephyr glanced over at Angder. "Do you have ammunition for that?" he asked, pointing at the shotgun.
-
Angder looks surprised. "How the heck did you know that I didn't?" Angder asks. "And don't say you did not know, otherwise, why even point it out?"
-
Angder looks surprised. "How the heck did you know that I didn't?" Angder asks. "And don't say you did not know, otherwise, why even point it out?"
"I'm... quite familiar with weapons," the cat said, rummaging around in his pockets. "A lot of metal things, actually... Ah." Pulling his hand out, he offered Angder some shotgun shells. "Will that be enough?"
-
Angder snarls, but takes the Shells. He then keeps walking, head down.
-
Zephyr's eyes went red for a moment, and he grinned. "He's kind of cute," he said in a different voice. Suddenly, his left eye went orange. "SHUT UP, YA LOUT!"
-
Tempest giggled and watched Zephyr. "Getting anxious?" She stopped at the bus stop and looked down the street, the bus was coming. "Cause I sure am."
-
Zaida seemed to be standing there silent as she waited, deep in thought. Ignoring things around her looking down the street, as she cared for the mission the raccoon had assigned.
-
She toyed with her charm. "It should be about a 15 minute ride." She watched the bus approach. Her tail swished.
-
Zephyr shook his head and his eyes reverted to blue. "... Yeah, it should be fun," he said, getting on the bus. Strangely enough, right now, he seemed unarmed.
-
Angder also heads aboard the bus, sitting down near the back.
-
She nodded a hello to the driver and sat across from Angder.
-
Zaida walked in and sat in an empty seat in the middle of the bus.
-
The bus driver looked back at the passengers, and then the offices, before speaking. "There any more ah ya's?"
-
"I think so." She looked around and purred, swinging her legs.
-
The driver nodded. "Next stop, Sharllotton!" The doors closed, and the driver began the trip. He whistled quietly as he went.
Ronnie stepped outside of the office, and looked around, his pipe smoldering idly as he gnawed on the end. "I wonder..."
-
Name: Alistair
Age: Undefined
Species: Smilodon populator
Gender: Male
Disposition: Docile demon
Tact: Playful, quick temper, loud when excited, quiet when on missions.
Preferred weapon(s): Claws and teeth
Anything else of note: N/A
Alistair trudged out of the forest, looking a bit agitated from the long trip. A suitcase between his jowls to hold what little he possessed as he approached the office. Seeing Ronnie he picked up the pace a bit. Being feral also meant he held zero responsibility for time schedules.
-
Ronnie checked his watch, and called out to Alistair. "You're late. The others are off to Sharlloton." He smiled. "It's good to see you, though. Leave your stuff here, we'll get a room set up."
-
Tempest watched the town go by and purred. "Is this anyone else's first demon fight?" She asked.
-
The saber bellowed at Ronnie once he was close enough, causing him to drop his suitcase that looked rather weathered.
-
Ronnie nodded, and picked up the battered case. Another office worker shot out, and grabbed the case. "Go get 'em, friend."
Ray, who had already entered the bus, spoke up. "I-It's my first." He checked his revolver, before he sighed. "I'm...I'm kinda scared."
-
She smiled and nodded. "Don't be scared, it'll work out fine." She stopped and looked down at her charm. "Just don't touch me when I'm blue, he hates it. Speaking of which, after this fight, I think we should come up with a name for him."
-
"That's always a good plan, lass," Zephyr said in the non-flirty strange voice, his left eye orange. Both eyes then reverted back to blue. "He's right," he said in his normal voice. "Naming your demon and coming to terms with them helps. Oh, and you may have to best them in combat too." He grinned. "That bit's mental, though."
-
She nodded and rummaged through her bag. "He's always wanted a name, but I want it to be perfect, not something like Dan."'she stopped "I apologize to everyone named Dan."
-
Alistair stared at the door questioningly, wondering how he was going to get through it.
-
Ronnie glanced at Alistair, before clapping a paw to his forehead. "Right." He pushed the door open, and motioned for Alistair to enter. "In you go, friend."
-
Alistair lowered himself and just barely squeezed through the door.
-
"Right... Hopefully, the Unicorn Wizard will accept you apology," Zephyr murmured. "Anyway, it appears that the other demon is somewhat under control for now... either way, if it ever incapacitates me... Well, I have backup plans."

Resume Sheet:
Name: (Last, First, Middle) [redacted], Geoffrey, Noah
Age: 25
Species: Black bear
Gender: Male
Disposition: Mortal
Tact: Introverted, creative, friendly, socially awkward, and more of an observer than an actor; prone to having his head stuck in the clouds. He is stubborn and easily frustrated, but it takes a lot for him to hold a grudge against someone. Skilled in both magic and physical combat, he can endure a decent amount of damage, but prefers to pick at foes from a distance before taking the role of tank.
He is sensitive to spirits and can talk with them.
Preferred weapon(s): knife, claws/teeth, pistols.
Magic (Uses the same energy as physical actions, needs to be focused to cast properly):
Basic elemental spells, heating/cooling
Basic spirit cleansing spell
invisibility (has slight light distortion),
Propulsion spell that gives him a speedy jump boost, which can double as a method to push back flying objects if performed right.
A force shield that lessens the blow of incoming spells.
((Let me know if this is too much))
Anything else of note: A writer and cartoonist in his spare time
-
As the bus slowed to a stop within Sharllotton, Ray pulled a small disk from his pocket. As he exited, he threw it on the ground, and turned to the other passengers. "A-Anyone know how to channel warp-stones?"
-
Angder shakes his head. "I'm not one for this Voodoo stuff"
-
Tempest shook her head and put her bag over her shoulder and got off the bus, thanking the driver as she got off.
-
Zephyr pulled the brim of his hat down for a moment in a thank you gesture to the driver, then stepped off the bus and looked at Ray. "Where did you want it to go to?" he asked, implying that yes, he knew how to channel warp stones.
-
Zaida gives a glance at the bus driver before she exits the bus. Standing behind the group her hands folded in front of her.
-
Tempest looks around and slowly takes her lanyard off, shivering and watching the bus drive off. She placed the charm in her bag and bit her lip.
-
The town was decidedly complacent, the locals seemed calm and normal. Though, some would steal covetous looks at their neighbors, except for one at the end of the lane. The house at the end was massive, towering much higher than any of the other nearby buildings.
Ray nodded. "T-The office, in case someone missed the ride here."
-
Tempest's head twitched to the side and she shivered. Her orange fur turning blue as her skin shook like a wave from head to toe. He looked up and smiled wide, not saying a word.
-
Zephyr nodded and began making the connection. "Give it a minute," he said.
-
The felid made himself at home, wandering around the office in search of a couch.
-
The warp portal opens right in front of Alistair.
-
He looked around and smiled a big toothy grin. In a deep, gruff voice, much unlike Tempest's he asked "So, where is this Demon?"
-
Ray nodded. "Thank you. And I dunno where this demon is. Ronnie never said where." He shrugged. "We could ask around...maybe?"
-
"Yes maybe, we can ask a kind old lady perhaps she'll point to a bus stop where the demon will be sitting." The Serynx answered coldly. She huffed from her nose her tail flicking the air as it swayed and ears high. "My point is. Asking is no good, it will scare others and I doubt any civilians would know... Beside if I'm correct most demons like to possess or already have some sort of form to blend? So he/she... It... can be anyone." She says in a soft voice.
-
Ray shrugged. "You never know."
-
Alistair bared his teeth at the portal, distrusting what could be on the other side.
-
Zephyr's eyes turned red all of a sudden and, with a smile, he leaned through the portal far enough so that his head poked through. "This way, sweetie," he said in the voice, leaning back to his normal position again.
-
Alistair's eyes mirrored the color of Zephyr's, which in turn did coax him through the portal without fail.
-
The cat smiled, his eyes still red. "Good," she said. "Now wasn't that easy?" Zephyr suddenly shook his head, his eyes reverting to blue. "Um... what just happened?"
-
He chuckled to himself gravelly. "You just broke again." He said, it sounded more like a growl.
-
Zephyr covered his mouth, looking flustered. "Dammit," he said, quickly drawing his sword. "Well, we'd best start looking."
-
Alistair nudged Zephyr a bit hard, the feral demon had made a small attachment already.
-
"OOF!" Zephyr said, looking at Alistair. "H... Hello there..."
-
Alistair rumbled happily before he started to work on marking his own perimeter.
-
He watched the two and grinned wider, reaching in his bag and pulling out a bottle filled with purified salt and holy water.
-
Zephyr seemed to be casting spells silently.
-
One of the neighbors approached the group, and spoke. "H-Hello! Welcome to...to Sharllotton."
-
No one seemed to answer the man, Zaida than replied. "Thank you for the welcome it's a pleasure." She said stepping forward.
-
He chuckled to himself and uncorked the vial, taking a deep smell of it. He shuddered and corked it again, looking up at the newcomer. "Demon problems?" He asked. His voice sounded like a constant raspy growl.
-
The neighbor shook his head. "N-None at a-all. T-Though...y-you may wanna talk with the man at the end of the drive. H-He knows what g-goes on."
-
Zephyr nodded gently. "Alright then," he said. "... Just a moment, guys, I need to check something quickly." Within seconds, the cat ran behind a building and then seemed to return to the same spot from behind it only a few seconds later. "Which drive do you mean?" he asked the man.
-
The neighbor pointed down at the large house at the end of the road. "T-There."
-
Zephyr nodded. "Alright... let's go," he said, heading towards the house.
-
He chuckled and followed eagerly. His blue fur standing up a little as the cold wind blew over them.
-
Zaida had her head lowered already annoyed by this group but wanted to finish this mission already.
-
Angder follows. Much like Zaida he wanted this done as soon as possible. He glances up at her as she walks. "so... Your not much of a talker either?"
-
He uncorked the bottle and poured it out as they walked. He twirled his fingers and it returned to his palm in a quavering ball, he moved it back and forth between his hands, using his tail to put the bottle back into his bag.
-
The Lust demon Sha'sla sat on the porch of the estate he confiscated from the family that summoned him. A margarita in one paw, a scotch in the other. He watched the newcomers, with an evil smile on his face.
-
Zephyr, spying the demon, tightened his grip on the grasscutter he held. "That's the demon there," he whispered to the others. "We should approach cautiously... Also, I should probably go first..."
-
Sha's smiled. "Ooooh! Come to kill me, eh?" He stood, and put a hand on his hip. "Come and get me, then."
-
He growled softly and he smirked, holding the salt water still and waiting for the command.
-
Suddenly, Zephyr's eyes turned red. "Oh... well, aren't you a sassy one?" a female voice said as Zephyr grinned. (... Wait, am I leading this? Also, what's this about salt water?)
-
(I guess so, and my demon is a small water elemental, so he works best with water. Since we're fighting demons I figured holy water is anti demon and so is salt)
-
(... Alrighty then. o-o For future reference, Zephyr's not exactly the leading type... ON second though, let's keep it. It'll be an interesting character arc!)
-
Angder readies his newly loaded shotgun. "Man. Stop talking and get this over with." he aims his shotgun at the demon, and prepares to fire.
-
Zephyr held out his hand. "Don't waste your shells, laddie," a distinctly Scottish voice said. "Wait until we've worn the bugger down first, then start blasting." The cat stepped towards the demon, sword drawn and his left eye orange. "Now... shall we?"
-
Sha's seemed to pull a katana from no-where, and took a defensive stance. "Let's."
-
Gripping the icy grasscutter in one hand, Zephyr ran at Sha'sla, feinting at his head. "Take this, you bastard!"
-
He ran around to the backside of the demon and shot small blasts of the salt water at the demons back, chuckling loudly.
-
Sha's smirked, and blocked Zephyr's strike, but took the blasts of salt water. His flesh bubbled slightly, but he continued to fight. The townspeople charged the group, shouting and crying, though they didn't really pose a threat.
-
Zephyr growled. "You know, it doesn't have to be like this," he said. "We could find you somewhere safe... where you could be in peace..."
-
Angder brawls the townspeople. Knocking a few of them out with his fists. Keeping them off the rest of the group until he was needed to bring his guns into the main fight.
-
He flung the rest at the demons head, the water spreading out like a net trap, closing around its head with a loud hiss. He quickly grabbed his next bottle from his bag and uncorked it.
-
Sha's staggered backwards, before throwing a hand out towards Tempest. A last ditch-effort, he was trying to get Tempest to fight for him.
-
Zephyr's right eye suddenly turned red. "Hey sweetie, look over here," the female voice said, speaking to Tempest.
-
He tucked his bottles back into his back quickly and gave it a little pat, quickly dashing over to the group again. Rubbing his nose as he watched the demon step into the remaining salt water, chuckling darkly. "I'm so out of your league man." He snarled at the demon.
-
Sha's took a massive, desperate swing at Zephyr, his strength waning.
-
The blade appeared to connect and swipe through Zephyr, who, strangely enough, dissipated.

The blade appeared to connect and swipe through Zephyr, who, strangely enough, dissipated.

Sha's, who at first smirked at Zephyr's disappearance, blinked, and drew a large handgun. "S-Stay back!"

-
"Too late," a voice right behind Sha' said as the click of a pistol chambering a round was heard. "Now... surrender."
-
Angder swears. "Hey! I thought I would get to use my shotgun." He knocks down another pair of townspeople, and grabs his shotgun back off his back. Readying it to shoot the demon.
-
"Sheathe your pride, handsome," the female voice said. "You can take the next one, but nobody else is keeping the townsfolk off right now..."
-
Sha's blinked, and put his hands up. "What do you want?"
-
"You can't stay here any longer," the voice said. "These people must go free. We can do this in two ways. One, you come quietly and we send you back to Hell, or perhaps a suitable dimension. Two..." The female voice let out a malicious chuckle. "Well, I'll leave it up to your imagination. So... what's it gonna be, lover boy?"
-
"Screw you!" Sha's torso pivoted on his waist, swinging his katana.
-
Angder elbows a townsperson in the jaw, and moves closer to the demon, firing a shotgun blast at her. "Yea. I came here to do a thing, sooner the bitch is gone, sooner we can ignore the townspeople entirely." He turns and whacks one young townsperson round the head with the shotgun, knocking them out cold. "Damn... there are a lot of em though."

-
There was no one behind Sha. "Looking for someone?" a Scottish voice said behind the pivoted demon.
( X3 Confused?)
-
Sha's spun again, and popped up to his feet. He felt the shotgun blast hit him, but didn't care. He was in a fight for his life.
-
The air around Sha seemed to get colder. "... Are you frightened, sir?" Zephyr's voice said innocently... from behind Sha.
-
He noticed the demon had a little bit of the salt water still on/in his skin. "Perfect." He focused and worked the droplets up the creatures body. The water quickly riled back and dived into its open mouth, forcing down its throat.
-
Sha's tried to reply haughtily, but was stopped by Tempest's assault. He was able to shake the water from himself, and lashed out. "I'm pissed!"
-
An amused chuckle came from... somewhere. "Well then... perhaps you should... Chill out." The sound of a starting chainsaw filled the air as the temperature around Sha' began to drop rapidly; strangely enough, ice was beginning to form on the ground. It was strange because the ice did not seem... normal.
-
Sha's glared around, but didn't seem effected by the cold. "Do your worst!"
Ray, who had stuck near the bus, decided to move into the fray. He started shooting as Sha's, who merely flinched as the bullets from Ray's revolver punched into his flesh.
-
"That would be a waste of energy," Zephyr's voice said. "Now.... don't break the ice. Not that you can..." The ice suddenly formed under Sha' 's feet.
-
Angder switched between bludgeoning townspeople, and shooting his shotgun into the demon, getting increasingly annoyed at how little his shotgun did to the demon.
-
Suddenly, Sha's flipped his sword around, and decapitated himself, choosing to return to Hell instead of being banished or killed entirely. His body disintegrated, and crumbled to dust.
-
He laughed loudly and corked his bottles, shoving them back into his bag. "We did it!!"
-
The ice suddenly disappeared, the air returning to its normal temperature. "Yes... quite," Zephyr's voice said.
-
Ray looked around, slowly. "S-So...we return to the office, right?"
-
(I would like to join.)
Name: Quinnogoth Maranoth (for the sake of mortals she can be called Maylien)
Age: ???

Gender: Female
Disposition: extremely hates demons but isn't fond of mortals either.
Tact: merciless, spiteful, often looks down on mortals, but she can be reasoned with. She only helps mortals fight against demons because it furthers her cause to take back control of the abyss.
Preferred weapon(s): an ancient form of evil magic that is similar to evocation and necromancy but is a mix of the two schools. She does dabble in other magic but mostly for variety.
Anything else of note: she does have a bipedal form but it's still kind of ugly. She has five eyes, her mouth is like a predator's (i mean like the movie, Predator), her hair is made out of tentacles, and she has black slug like skin and a tail.

(.... Talia, there isn't a second picture.)
"Pretty much," Zephyr said, walking up to the group as he sheathed his grasscutter. "Personally, I'd like to get my new... acquaintance under a little more control." His eyes turned red. "Hey, I'm behaving," the female voice said. "Just come talk to me, darling." Blue eyes again. ".... Okay, fine. I'd like someone to watch me while I have a chat with her," Zephyr said, looking a little annoyed.
-
(I tried to upload it but it says it's to large.)
-
(PM, perhaps, could take it?)
-
He smiled and grabbed the charm necklace from his bag and put it around his neck after saying "Nice working with you folks."
-
(No it still to large.)
Somewhere not to far away, a rift opens up in the middle of an alley way and a strange tentacle monster comes out. However it's fairly injured and is actually out of breath as it flops onto the ground.
"I made it...wait...Zaranoth?" The creature turned to rift hoping to see it's mate, but all she saw on the other side was Zaranoth getting slaughtered by demons.
"NOOOOO!!!" The creature screamed over telepathy as the rift closed before she could do anything. Overcome with grief, the creature let out mournful wheeping that, over telephathy, carried to the groups current position.
-
Zephyr gasped and clutched his head. "... That screech," he said. "It... It's not familiar to me..." He blinked a couple times and his left eye turned orange. "Well... let's go find out what it is, then," the Scottish voice said, running to the alleyway.
-
The creature didn't notice Zephyr at first as he entered the alley. However a very familiar smell snapped her out of weeping and filled her with rage.
"...I smell demon filth!" It said as it focused on Zephyr. It tired to get up using three tentacles but a sharp pain made it flop back over.
"Face me demon!" It said trying to look defiant.
(Is there a demon in Zephyr, or did I miss read something.)
-
Tempest, back to her usual self, followed after and clutched her head. "What..is that?" She saw the creature and slowly approached. "It's hurt.." She held her hands up and set her bag down. "Listen, it's ok, just relax. Do you need help?"
-
The creature didn't notice Zephyr at first as he entered the alley. However a very familiar smell snapped her out of weeping and filled her with rage.
"...I smell demon filth!" It said as it focused on Zephyr. It tired to get up using three tentacles but a sharp pain made it flop back over.
"Face me demon!" It said trying to look defiant.
(Is there a demon in Zephyr, or did I miss read something.)
(.... Two, actually. One of them is rather recent.)
Zephyr blinked his eyes, internally telling his- quite literal- inner demons to make themselves scarce. "... I'm not going to hurt you," he said, holding out his hands carefully. He was more than happy, however, to let Tempest try to bond with the creature. He reeked of demon energy... and rift energy.
-
The creatures tried to slide away from tempest as she approached, but that hurt even more. The look off defiance turned into defeat as it just lay there.
"Yes...I need help. My mate...we were supposed to come here together, but the demons...filthy, rotten, murderers."
-
She whined softly in empathy. "I'm sorry dear, that must have been horrible." She slowly inched closer. "Would you like to join our group? We just defeated a lust demon, it's our job. Let us help you." She said in a motherly tone.
-
"...fine mortal. If you are so keen on helping me, I will go with you. Let me take a more practical form though." The creature is surrounded by a black mist and when it dissipates there is a slug like woman down laying there.

(I figured out how I can show the picture, just me a second.
-
She helped her up and purred softly. "We'll be taking the bus, I can probably tend to you on the way. What's your name?"
-
"My name is Maranoth Quinnogoth...but for the sake simplicity, call me Maylien. Also...do you have any clothes?" Maylien said as she casually covered herself.
-
She blushed a bit and averted her eyes. "I..do not. I'm Tempest by the way." She called back to the group. "Hey guys? Anyone have a blanket or a cloak or some clothes?"
-
Zephyr held up a finger for a moment, then stuck a hand into his coat and pulled out a blanket.
-
She romped over and took it, thanking him. She romped back over and smiled, draping it over her shoulders. "Here you go."
-
Maylien wrapped the blanket around herself.
"Thank you." Maylien said, but gave a glare to Zephyr.
-
She led Maylien out of the alley and asked her where her injuries were, helping her walk and making sure the blanket stayed on her.
-
Maylien had many cuts and bruises over all over her body. One of her eyes was swollen and she walked with a limp. However she had no broken bones as she had no bones to be fine with.
-
When the others had run off, Ray sighed, and called Ronnie. After explaining the job was done, but Sha's had taken his own life, Ronnie was livid. And there were only a few things Ronnie did to help his anger.
Ray looked about, phone in paw, waiting for the others. The bus driver had taken off after the fighting started, and had yet to return.
-
Zephyr lowered his ears and followed them.
-
Suddenly, from a small wooded area outside of the town, large face-covered balls fell from the sky, screaming in pain. They slammed into the earth, and began to pour a brackish, purple smoke, enveloping the area.
-
((I'd wait 'till we get the group back to the Office. Just...be bummin' around the welcome center?))
-
((Yep! I'll let you know, and give you a quick rundown.))
-
Suddenly, from a small wooded area outside of the town, large face-covered balls fell from the sky, screaming in pain. They slammed into the earth, and began to pour a brackish, purple smoke, enveloping the area.
Zephyr quickly pulled out a gas mask and slapped it over his face.
-
Ray covered his face with a piece of fabric, torn from his shirt, and ran towards the edge of town.
The gas wasn't toxic, but it would cause any demons held within the mortal vessel would lose control of themselves, slowly.
-
(Does this gas affect other outsiders like Maylien?)
-
Tempest shuddered and felt her demon partner inside her get nervous. She told him that she trusted him and slipped the charm off. Her fur once again turning blue, he looked at the gas and dug in his bag, grabbing a half face mask that worked as a gas mask. He narrowed his eyes and payed his ears back. "What the hell is that?"
-
((I guess? Dunno how Outsider's work.))
-
(We'll Maylien's relation to demons is that they are from the same plane of existence and that she is a more primitive version of a demon. Demons were an evolution of quilpoths that grew in power due to the rise of the demons lords. These two groups of outsiders are basically related, but whether or not the gas would affect a quilpoths is up to you.)
-
((Let's say yes, for continuity.))
-
((I'm still in this too (page 7), just been waiting for the group to head back))
Geoffrey slumped in a chair in the Demon Catchers lobby. He sipped on his coffee and huffed with boredom, but he was still in a good mood. He had some experience with this sort of job, though not exclusively with demons, but with other paranormal entities and criminal mages.
Though it was pretty weird how they had the place all decked out with lights and crosses. His previous location wasn't so showy about it. It seemed a bit silly to him, but that's just how they did it here, he supposed.
-
Ronnie approached Geoffrey, and smiled. "New face?" He chuckled, and sat down beside Geoff. "New to the game?"
-
Geoff looked up. "Oh hey, uh, no--well, eh, kinda. Was an arcane investigator, back in Illinois, just a minor branch off the big clan there. Tracked down ghosts, demons, criminal mages, anything mixed up in the paranormal pile. Er, my job was mainly the investigation part, though I'd been trained to fight and capture if needed, and I had my share of those times."
"So, uh," he smiled somewhat nervously. "this will be my first job where combat's the main thing."
-
Ronnie smiled, and sniffed. "You ain't a demon yourself, are you?"
-
Zephyr scooped up Tempest and Maylien and ran after Ray. "ANGDER COME ON!" he yelled out. He was unaffected by the gas because of his gas mask.
-
Geoff shook his head. "No. Just a normal mortal," he told Ronnie, "I'm spirit-sensitive, though."
-
Ronnie nodded. "Nice. We've not got many normal mortals in here."
-
Maylien was coughing profusely from the gas as she was carried by Zephyr. Soon a mad look stretched across her face as she attempted to attack zephyr.
-
(... What weapons does she have?)
Zephyr pulled Maylien close to his body and ran faster.
-
(Just natural weapons, like a bite that is somewhat poisonous. The poison just makes you really sick though, it's not lethal.)
Maylien tried to bite Zephyr as she was too weak to actually fight Zephyr.
-
He looked over, knowing she would probably be vicious towards him too for being a demon, and tried to calm her down. "Hey, listen. We'll be alright, you can trust this one." He said through his half face mask.
-
"I don't think she's in her right mind at the moment," he said, catching her teeth on one of his gauntlets and dashing for the portal.
-
The bus driver pulled into town, and effectively shattered the portal-stone. The doors to the bus opened up, revealing the driver, who motioned for the crew to get inside.
-
Maylien bit on the gauntlet again and again but didn't really do much besides scrat against it.
-
Zephyr got on the bus with Maylien and Tempest, then waited for the others, other than Alistair, to get on. The saber had followed him on. (Sorry, Alistair... helping.)
-
Angder, who had paused to watch the smoke, jumps onto the bus, he ended up being the last aboard.
-
Zephyr set Tempest down, then sat down himself and worked on calming Maylien. "Is everyone on?" he asked, looking around quickly.

Preferred weapon(s): Dual Pistols
Anything else of note: He also trained in swords and some martial arts but prefers to pick off his targets from afar.
"Sorry I'm late for the party," Oanta says as he walks up to the group. "Thought I would check out this demon business and see what it's all about. What did I miss?"
-
((May wanna repost that Oanta, size got screwy))
Ray looked around, hoping everyone was in.
The driver looked nervous, but was willing to wait.
-
Maylien was breathing heavily as she was exhausted but still tried to struggle.

[fixed it]
-
The bus driver groaned, and a massive paw shot out of the top of the bus, grabbed Oanta, and pulled him into the bus. The vehicle then sped off down the road, quickly escaping the purple miasma.
Ray sighed, and removed the cloth from his face. "So...that happened. But, we made it with everyone, right?"
-
As we left the purple miasma, Maylien slowly regained her sanity. She was still badly hurt but her wounds were a little worse because of her struggling.
"What was that stuff..." She asked weakly.
-
Ray shrugged. "Some kind of stimulant for demons." He rubbed the back of his head. "Besides me and..." Ray motioned to Maylien. "Does anyone else feel weird?"
-
Angder shrugs. "not really."
-
Tempest shook her head and looked around. Her fur returning back to its normal orange color.
-
Zephyr took off his gas mask and stuck it in his satchel, then removed his hat and ran his free hand through his hair, exhaling. "We're all fine," he said, shrugging. "I got the mask on in time, so they weren't affected..." He smiled. "I'll have to properly introduce them at some point. But we have more important things to consider. Namely... Who launched those things?"
-
"I read about those projectiles once. Comes from a particular brand of Agony demon." He shuddered, and shook his head. "They're condensed souls of the damned."
-
"Huh... that's no good," Zephyr replied, looking out the window. "We should inform your boss about it... it could be more trouble than it's worth."
-
Oanta looks around at the group. "thanks for grabbing me back there. It sounds like I might be in over my head since this is my first demon hunt. Any suggestions for me?"
-
Ray nodded. "Ronnie'll want it gone, so we'll be back."
-
Angder looks over to Oanta. "Hit hard, don't get hit." Angder states. "That works for most monsters I find." Angder grins. "Quite seriously, Every demon is different. The main thing is to be adaptable"
-
"That reminds me.... is anyone hurt?" Zephyr asked.
-
She shook her head and took her mask off, putting it in her bag. "I'm not, but that demon sure as hell was." She giggled.
-
Ray raised a paw. "I feel kinda ill." He shook his head, and lowered his paw.
-
Zephyr's face got a little serious. "... Ill how?" he asked.
-
Oanta checks his gun holsters to make sure they are ready at a moment's notice. "I hope it's nothing too serious."
-
Ray shrugged. "I just feel weird."
-
"Weird how?" the cat asked. "It could mean something."
-
Ray sighed. "I can't explain it. I feel like I kinda want to throw up, and my chest hurts."
-
Suddenly, the bus ground to a halt, as it approached the company's main gate. The bus driver threw the door open, hustled everyone outside, and then sped off down the road.
A black SUV again approached the group, and the doors were thrown open.
-
She put a hand in her bag and grabbed her dagger. Eyeing the SUV. Her fur stood up and she bared her teeth.
-
Valentine stepped from the SUV, and smiled at the group. "In you get, children. Boss man wants a word with you." She motioned for the group to get inside.
-
Zephyr put his hat back on, eyeing Ray with worry. "... Get yourself checked out as soon as possible," he said to the raccoon, picking up (Talia's character's name here) and disembarking from the bus.
-
She dropped her dagger and nodded. Swiftly jumping into the van.
-
Ray stepped into the SUV, groaning as he lowered himself into the seat.
-
Oanta got into the back seat of the SUV saying sarcastically, " 'Cause this is normal."
-
Ray nodded. "S'how we got to the office in the first place."
-
Angder climbs in, confused as to everyone else's confusion. "Its how we do things. I guess."
-
As everyone climbed into the SUV, the doors shut, and the vehicle sped off towards the offices.
Valentine was seated near the middle of the SUV, all smiles. "It seems Mr. Ronald has work for you. Another demon terrorizing mortals. Though...this one's not like Sha's. Whole different case entirely."
-
Name: Madness, Jokes
Age: 16
Species: Fox
Gender: Male
Disposition:
Tact: Mentally ill, Mad, and torturer.
Weapon: Knives
Notes: I'm just here to help... :D
-
Zephyr handed Tempest her dagger back and nodded. "How different?" he said. "Also, you might want to look Ray over."
-
(Hey what has happened since I left.)
-
((The crew's movin' back to the headquarters, and Madness joined. So, not much really.))
Valentine thought a moment, as the SUV rolled towards the office. "Hmm...it's hard to explain. Field Ops showed that he...changes the rules of reality within his vicinity." She rubbed her forehead. "Makes everything act differently. And we'll look Ray over, when we get the chance. But, he's well enough to stand and well enough to work." Valentine smiled, showing the ends of her teeth. "So we'll get you all re-kitted, pick up the new recruits, and get you back out there."
-
Tempest nodded and scratched behind her ear. "So, how'd he perform? M-my blue self that is. And should we name him?" She tucked her dagger into her bag and buckled her bag shut so as not not drop anything out of it. She took note that she'd need more holy salt water when they got to the headquarters.
-
Zephyr nodded. "He did great," the cat replied. "Also, he probably already has a name, if your circumstance is as I think it might be. He's sort of possessing you in a way, right?"
-
"He doesn't, he never really had a name and he'd like one." She smoothed her cheek fur and looked around the SUV. "And no, he was born with me and he's just kind of always been there as a friend. He said that if he didn't need me, he wouldn't be here. I'll meditate with him later and we'll discuss names." She said, swinging her legs a bit as they hung over the side of the seat.
-
"Alright," Zephyr said. "... Would you still be willing to help me with that charm as well? You know, for..." His eyes turned red. "Is that really necessary?" the female voice said.
-
She giggled and nodded. "Sure, but they'll have to be on board, otherwise it'll hurt them."
-
She giggled and nodded. "Sure, but they'll have to be on board, otherwise it'll hurt them."
Zephyr put a finger to his lips in a very girly manner. "Hmm... Must we do this?" the voice said. "He won't accept me otherwise? I promise not to be a bad girl..."
-
Ray looked around the SUV, as it pulled up to the office.
-
Tempest giggled and looked out the window. "Oh, we're here." She turned back to Zephyr. "If we have enough time, and if I can find where my room is, we can discuss what you'd like in your charm."
-
Zephyr shook his head, his eyes reverting to blue. "Sounds like a good idea," he said, smiling. "I'll work at convincing her."
-
Ray stepped from the SUV, and waited for the others before entering the office.
Ronnie was seated patiently in the lobby, waiting for the crew to arrive. He knew the next demon would prove a very interesting opponent.
-
Zephyr followed Ray inside.
-
Oanta walked in and stood against the wall across from Ronnie. He crossed his arms and waited for the rest.
-
Zephyr fiddled with his hat a bit.
-
Suddenly, everyone got a call from Ronnie, all at once.
"Attention, agents. We've got two contracts that need done. Please check your mail-boxes, rooms, et cetera for details."
Within everyone's room, mail-box, or whatever else they used to receive mail, was a portfolio containing the details on two targets.
Quincy Garret, aka the Puppet Master (true name unknown). Owns the nightclub Groove Street, near Garrisburg. Scattered reports of full possession, and several disappearances within his establishment. Be cautious when pursuing.
and
Vadim Borouski, aka Dead Beats(true name unknown). Owns a small music store in Green City. Several reports of "universal manipulation", along with many noise complaints. Practice extreme caution when pursuing.
-
Zephyr examined the mail. "...Hmm... What do you guys think?" he asked Tempest... and her demon... and the demons living in his head.
-
Oanta pulls out his smart-phone. He paws through the messages and puts the phone away. "They both sound pretty interesting. Either way, it seems like we would be dealing with some sort of manipulation so I guess it's dealer's choice."
-
Zephyr shrugged. "Who's the dealer, though?" he asked.
-
Ray spoke up. "W-Well, which one owns a more public domain? Any demon who has access to the outside world, should be the first to go, r-right?"
-
"Good point," Zephyr said, looking at both. "Hmm.. a nightclub or a music store..."
-
Ray furrowed his brow in thought. After a few moments, he spoke. "The music store, I guess. They're more public oriented."
-
Ray furrowed his brow in thought. After a few moments, he spoke. "The music store, I guess. They're more public oriented."
Zephyr nodded. "Alright... Let's rock, then." (Where is Tempest? o-o)
-
Ray nodded, and set down a warp stone. He then looked to the van, and went to climb inside.
-

Tact: Works with a team.
Preferred weapon(s): Webley Revolver
Anything else of note: He is not a fighter, he is sent in along with other specialist to analyze and collect data about Demons.
-
Zephyr took a moment to talk to the people inside of him.
-
Ronnie suddenly appeared behind Zephyr, and placed a paw on his shoulder. "You alright?"
Ray climbed into the van, and took a seat. He stared at his paws, as if seeing them for the first time.
-
Oanta gets into the van and sits down. He begins checking his weapons to make sure they are cleaned and ready to go.
-
Zephyr turned and sighed, his left eye orange and his right eye red. "My associate Ryk and I are trying to get a better sense of the new presence in my head," he said. "I'd introduce you properly, but at the moment, he is aiding me in keeping this new demon from distracting me." The cat shrugged and sighed. "At some point, I'll have to enter a trance to prove my worth to her so that she doesn't... well, take me over. I can still fight, but until I get everything cleared away, I'll be experiencing personality changes based on who's talking... and while neither of them are bad, it may cause confusion."
-
Ronnie patted Zephyr's shoulder. "Well, I hope this doesn't compromise your ability to hunt." He smiled, and started back towards the office.
-
Zephyr glanced over his shoulder at the retreating raccoon. "Worry not... when life is at stake, people tend to work together," he replied. "Though perhaps we could try to find some new recruits?"
-
Ronnie stopped, and thought a moment. "That...may not be such a bad idea. Though, keeping the presence of demons under wraps is hard, 'specially when you're looking for new hunters."
-
(What has happened since my absence?)
-
((Nothing really...killed Shas'...erm...went back to the offices...uh, demon gas attack.))
-
(My characters probably been asleep in the van this whole time I guess.)
Maylien was still asleep in the van wrapped tightly in the blanket she was given. Slowly she began to wake up and when she noticed she wasn't in the depths of hell she began to panic. It took a minute to remember the events that had occurred and when she did it hit her like a ton of bricks. She had escaped Hell, her mate was dead, and she was saved by mortals no less...but everything after that was a blur.
As she tried to get out of the van she felt a sudden wave of pain throughout her whole body and fell out the door and face flat on the ground. Keeping the blanket wrapped around her for decency she just played there, knowing in her condition she wasn't going very far.
-
Zephyr nodded. "... What about that new girl?" he asked.
-
Ronnie stopped, and thought a moment. "...Keep an eye on her, I don't know her enough yet. And I haven't seen her on mission."
-
Zephyr nodded. "We will, sir," he said.
-
Maylien was getting rather bored of just laying there on the ground. Looking around she saw a board with wheels that you would use when going underneath a car to do repairs (had no idea what it is called.). Opening her fifth eye she made the board come to her and flopped herself on top of it. She than proceeded to wheel herself inside to find help.
"Stupid mortals...making me have to look for them." She muttered multiple insulting things like this under her breath as she tried to find someone in the hallways.
-
Valentine suddenly appeared behind Maylien, and spoke softly. "Well...hello there."
-
Maylien stopped and looked over her shoulder.
"Finally someone showed up." She mutters.
-
Valentine suddenly bent, and scooped up Maylien, smiling as she cooed. "So sassy for something so battered."
-
(Maylien is a human sized slug thing. She is not that heavy so you could still pick her up, but the reason she is on ground is because she is still really hurting from escaping the abyss.)
-
((Fixed it, and my mistake.))
-
Maylien held the blanket to cover herself as she was still naked, blushing furiously.
"If your going to carry me at least carry me to the nearest person who can help me."
-
Valentine kicked off the floor, and floated to her own room. "Clothes. And a few days rest. You will have my room." As she spoke, Valentine placed Maylien down on the vixen's (I think?) own bed, tossed her some clothes, and nodded, walking out of the room and closed the door behind her.
-
Maylien laid there for second and than sighs.
"...thanks for helping me." She mutters and slowly starts getting dressed. Jeans didn't exactly fit on her as she was jack legged (meaning her legs bend out behind her like the e plegs of a feral.) so she put on a dress.

Disposition: Mortal.
Tact: Works alone, but wishes for a team.

Ibi will start as neutral and will be going by they/them/their.
---
Somewhere, in the distance, Ibi was caught in combat. Though they fought valiantly, but the demon was too much for them. It overcame their abilities and left them badly wounded. They fled, hoping the demon didn't pursue them.
They spotted a group, not too far away. They raised their sniper rifle and shot the air a few times, hoping to grab their attention.
Then, they passed out.
-
Raz was flying through the sky to his new job and hit a bird then landed in front of the building that he'd be working at now, and then walked in
-
(We're only allowed one character, right? Or one character with multiple people in their head?)
-
(Sorry about that, I fixed it)
-
(Um.... okay then. o-o)
-
It took time, but Ibi regained consciousness. Their wounds were bad, but they could walk - albeit with a limp. They headed towards a building that was nearby and stumbled in the door.
Well, at least it's not empty...
They tried to get the attention of the dragon that was there too. "Hey, can I get some help?"
-
Zephyr, hearing Ibi, turned and widened his eyes. "Crud," he said, rushing over. "Are you alright?"
-
"Been worse..." Ibi said. It wasn't entirely untrue, but they were sure they had some internal bleeding.
"Got any medics around?"
-
Raz looked at Ibi with a blank and slightly concerned face, "I'm sorry for my lack of emotion, I've just seen this kinda thing too many times before, but besides that, what happened.", Razuel quickly grabbed a fold out chair and set it behind Ibi.
-
"Big one got me. At least 50 feet tall." Ibi said. "It was heavily armoured too, I couldn't get through."
-
Raz pulled a roll of gauze and a small flask of hydrogen peroxide, and began to treat, "Well, tell ya what, when you're all better, You and I will go take this beast on, considering it isn't taken care of by that time."
-
"Sounds *grunt* like a plan" Ibi was clearly going to be stuck in here for a while. They were in a bad way and decided to rest for a bit. "By the way, thanks for all this." Ibi smiled softly. It was good to know who was on their side.
-
Razuel finished bandaging Ibi up, "Well, I'm happy to help. Aaand that should do, oh and by the way, I'm new to this... er, business, I actually used to be a mercenary but the demons kept killing my clients, and my very last client left behind this cool sword.", Raz placed his sword on a coffee table, "Told me that it's 'the bane of evil' despit e it's appearance."
-
"Huh... I knew someone who used to wield a sword like that. It burned through anything when he wanted it to. He let me use it a few times. You know what this does?" Ibi asked, pointing to a small latch on the end of the hilt.
-
Razuel picked up the sword, "Uh, yeah. It shoots a silver flame that burns all that it touches... But I don't use it very often."
-
"It's really good for taking out critters." Ibi said, before settling in the chair.
-
Raz replaced his sword back into its holster, "Yeah, it is really useful."
-
"I want to get something like that for my Katana." Ibi motioned to the sword that was on the floor. "Feel free to check it out while I rest."
They paused for a moment before adding "be careful, by the way, the blade is super sharp and coated with the same gunpowder I use in my sniper."
-
Raz picked up the Katana and took it out of its holster and started to toss it around, "Hmm, good balance, light weight, but the blade is disfigured... what happened there?"
-
"It was made like that. It means there are areas where the flame burns hotter for longer." Ibi said. "That and... poor maintenance. I haven't been able to get it to a forge for a while."
They sat up and picked up their sniper. Removing the bullets was simple enough and they showed Razuel. "Here's what I use for this puppy. 50mm depleted uranium rounds. They catch fire on impact."
-
"That's pretty nice, but I tend to stick to small and compacted, like an A4 Magnum.", Raz flexed his arm and an A4 MAGNUM came out and stopped at Raz's palm, "This little thing packs a massive punch, and that little port on the side is for modifiers, mainly Fire, Ice, Shock, and Poison, yeah some new business called Mali-something, paid me in a compact machine that replenishes my mods... it's really nice."
-
"Ah, the ceremonial "mine is bigger" contest," the female voice said, though it seemed to come from Zephyr, one of his eyes a blood red shade. "Quiet, you," he replied, glaring upwards as his eyes turned blue again. Sighing, he drew his own gun, a strangely modified P-229 Sport, and walked over to the others. "... So. You're from the Borderlands, then?" he asked Razuel, pulling out a strange cartridge and holding it in his hand as his eyes glowed.
-
"Well, yes and no. That company just decided to pay me with conveniences... I think that it was when they were a young company, but I did used to do some jobs over there, fighting whatever was left of Hyperion and simple 'kill this get paid' kind of things, but that was quite sometime ago... When I accepted long-term contracts.", Raz holstered his gun, "I'm so sorry, but I don't think I've properly introduced myself to you two, ahem... I'm Razuel Dracon, former Ex-Mercenary. By the way, that's a good choice for a gun, but I prefer my magnum."
-
Zephyr nodded. "To each their own, I suppose," he said, clicking the cartridge in. "If we're talking about weapons, I should let you know that this can fire pretty much anything... including healing charges." Suddenly, the cat pointed the gun at Ibi and fired, a wave of healing light washing over her. "Though really, I'm more of a blade guy."
-
Ibi felt relief as the shot hit them. The aches and pains disappeared rapidly, followed by the uncomfortable warmth that had been spreading throughout them.
"Thanks... I'm more of a ranger myself, but I can hold my own in close combat."
-
"I actually use my sword and gun when fighting. Best to have range on both fields."
-
Zephyr nodded. "I just tend to confuse them," he said. "And then strike at the right moment. Or allow others to." The cat extended the paw. "Zephyr Ryhpez... and associates. Nice to meet you."
-
Ibi stood up, mentally taking note of the healing charges. "Ibi Tarkhan. Likewise." They took the paw offered and shook. "I reckon we'd make a pretty good team. We have a wide skill set between us."
A rumble shook the building and Ibi found themselves filled with dread.
"Crap... it followed me."
-
Raz's eyes began emitting a flame, and he drew his sword, with the white fire from the sword curling around Raz's arm, "What the... I thought I felt something off..."
-
Zephyr cocked an eyebrow. "Is something the matter?"
-
Ibi looked out the door and saw it. They pointed and said. "That."
The only part of it that was visible was their hooves and lower legs.
They picked up their rifle and katana and prepared for battle.
-
Zephyr quickly took the healing cartridge out of his gun and drew his blue-bladed grasscutter sword. "Ah... sorry about that lass, we didn't see the post," a Scottish voice said. Zephyr's left eye was orange.
-
"Fourth wall huh?" Ibi chuckled. It was important to keep high spirits going into battle.
"By the way, I change from time to time, so you won't always these lovely hips." Ibi stuck their tongue out at Zephyr. "They should be around for another day or so."
-
Raz began to walk out the door, with no fear, and said at a subtle tone towards the demon, "Well, you sure are some ugly Mother*****r.", then just took out his gun and began shooting rounds that looked like literal rays of light, piercing the demon and making it scream in agony, "Well, c'mon you two, this'll be fun."
-
Ibi ran around the flank of the demon, getting out their katana. They sliced into its legs and stabbed the base of its spine. They were barely prepared for it to turn around and swipe at them narrowly avoiding getting destroyed immediately.
-
The demon screamed at Raz and made the mistake of charging for him, "Of all the things you could do, you chose wrong... what a pity...", the demon tried to do a sort of belly flop of Raz, then he threw his sword on the ground and yelled 'Purification!' and a horizontal line shot up and sliced the demon in half at where the heart would be located on a normal mortal, and its lower half disappeared but the top half was still alive, "How about we all shoot it in the head to finish it off, eh?"
-
Zephyr pulled out a silver stake, then stabbed the being with the grasscutter. Immediately, it froze up. "Or just shoot it anywhere now," he replied.
-
Razuel aimed his gun at the Demon's head and pressed down a second trigger that turned it into the BFG (http://www.weaponreplica.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/DOOM-BFG-Bio-Force-Gun-Mini-12-inch-Weapon-Replica-First-4-Figures.jpg) and shot it at the Demon's head, which made it squirm, then his gun turned back, "It certainly is useful to have this thing, it packs quite the punch
-
Ibi drew their sniper and aimed it at the demon's head. They fired and, not a moment later, a flaming hole was torn in the demon's skull.
-
Ronnie stepped outside, absolutely livid. He marched past the corpses of dispatched demons, and marched right up to Zephyr. His tone was level, but his anger could've been used to build houses. "Agent Zephyr. Who are these...extras?" It was obvious the ex-priest was armed, and extremely dangerous. Valentine even had the lobby security gates closed, just as the large raccoon left.
-
Raz just stood silent.
-
"Mercenaries;" Ibi said without hesitation. "something you should appreciate." They put their weapons away before standing next to Razuel.
-
Razuel returned his weapons back into their places, but kept his pistol 'Red', just in case, "Zephyr, who's this?"
-
Maylien finally woke up after having been asleep for sometime. Her body felt better but she knew she wasn't at full strength. She slowly got out of bed a little wobbly at first but manage to walk herself out the door.
-
"Shut your mouth, laddie!" Zephyr said in a Scottish voice that was not his own. "Behave, man," Zephyr whispered, turning to Ronnie. "They're... I suppose they're new recruits. She was hurt, so we let her in, and... I'm not sure where he came from, but a demon followed them, so I thought I'd help them dispatch it, at least."
-
Ibi trend to Zephyr with a curious look on their face.
"Well, everything else out here is dead, I'm going back inside." They said.
They headed inside and searched for a bathroom - their weekly change was approaching and they weren't too keen on showing people how it worked.
-
Maylien was in the bathroom, currently having a bath in her true form.
(I will show a picture to refresh people on what her truer form looks like.)
The bathwater was inky black as the slime coming off her skin heavily discolored it and she was making weird noises as she felt really relaxed and happy.

-
Ibi didn't notice the voice until after they opened the door. A dull glow was coming from their fur - indicating the change had begun. They saw Maylien in the bath and swore, very loudly. They turned and slammed the door shut behind them. They ran further down the hall, stumbling a few times due to their changing body. They hid in another room and waited for the change to finish.
-
Maylien raised her tentacles and made a loud hissing noise as she heard the door open and slam. She morphed back into her anthro form, got into her dress and chased after whoever was the peeping Tom. She stood outside the room Ibi was in and knocked hard projecting her telepathy through the door.
"Open up! You mortals will learn not interrupt me in my private time!"
-
"I don't think that's a very good idea at the moment." Ibi said, struggling. The change hurt every time, but holding a door while changing made Ibi incredibly tired because of the pain. They weren't supposed to do anything, but they could feel the rage through the door.
It didn't take long, and Ibi knew it would happen, but they collapsed. They could feel their body morphing and becoming different, something that they could never get used to.
The change finished and Ibi, now appearing more masculine, sat limply against the wall, dreading the inevitable.
-
(Is ibi a demon? It would really matter right now.)
-
(nope, but their anatomy changes with their gender - being fluid means it changes from time to time)
-
Maylien begins using her magic and the door melts into nothing. Seeing you were a man she gets even more flustered.
"What right do you have to come peeping on me when I am taking a bath! We're you hoping to see some a pretty girl instead of me?"
-
"No. I was finding somewhere private. I simply didn't hear you." Ibi said, their voice noticeably deeper than before. The pain was dulling slowly, but it was still a struggle to sit straight.
-
Ronnie grit his teeth, obviously hating that this all happened without his knowledge. "Agent Zephyr, you will collect these...recruits," he spat with distain, "and bring them to me. And keep the others in line. Insubordination isn't something I'm too keen on."
Ray stepped out of the van as Ronnie left, and slipped up to Zephyr. "I fell asleep in the car, what happened?"
Valentine opened the security gates, and having followed Ibi, spotted them and spoke softly. "Oh...poor thing." She picked Maylien up like she was a child, and floated back towards the bath.
-
"Hey let go of me! Who do you think you are?" Maylien shouted as she started to struggle. As Valentine carried Maylien, Maylien felt a lot stronger than was before even though she was still recovering.
(Maylien by the way is actually really strong physically...well when compared to the average person. She is almost twice as strong as your average ogre when in her true form.)
-
Raz turned his gun back to saftey, and put his hand to his head, "...I'm guessing he's my boss... isn't he..."
-
(Due to the change, Ibi is now masculine and will go by he/him/his pronouns)
Ibi struggled to his feet and headed out the door. He could hear Maylien protesting further down the hall. He chuckled as he walked back towards the entrance.
-
Valentine sat Maylien down, and patted her head gently. "There, there. Back in your bath, you're still weak."
-
"Are you treating me like a child? I will have you know I have lived probably five of your mortals lifetimes!" Maylien said blushing furiously.
-
As Ibi walked past the bathroom, he could hear Maylien's protests.
"If you've lived five lifetimes, why are you being so childish?" He was quite amused with himself, though he knew that provoking the strange lady was probably a bad idea. He'd said it in a playful tone, so he hoped the octo-lady-thing would take it in good humour.
(Octo-lady-thing being his current thoughts of Maylien, since he's not quite sure about her just yet)
-
(Of course, I understand :))
Maylien looked flabbergasted by that comment.
"You have no right to talk to me that way! All you mortals are is just cannon fodder to make more demons. The only reason I am even here is because we have a common enemy."
(By the way that is why quilpoths hate mortals, because their souls are key components to make demons. The reason they hate demons is because the demons took over the abyss where the quilpoths used to live.)
-
Ibi was annoyed by the remark, so he shot back with one of his own. "At least I have allies in this combat."
He wasn't sure why the octo-lady-thing was being so rude, but he knew that hanging around would only make things worse, so he turned and left without another word.
-
"...my only ally is dead." Maylien says quietly, not wanting to let you know you actually hit a nerve.
-
Ibi froze, ears perking at exactly the right moment to hear what Maylien said. He turned around and walked back to the bathroom.
"I... we've all lost friends in this war. Myself included. I'm sorry for your loss." He bowed his head and turned to leave again.
-
Maylien turned away trying to pout but her expression softens.
"...thank you." She says before you leave.
-
Ibi headed out towards the entrance and met up with Raz and the others. "So," he clapped his hands together, "what's up?"
-
Ronnie sat in the main lobby, trying his best to calm down. If it wasn't painfully obvious now, thought the entrepreneur, I don't like having things out of my control. For the most part, the first mission went to his orchestration, aside from the way Sha's died and the gas attack.
Ray, figuring the mission was on hold, wandered back to his room. He felt off, more so than he did earlier. The usually dim glow from his revolver was gone, and it seemed dull and dirty. The young raccoon made it almost to the top of the stairs, when he collapsed behind a trash-bin.
-
Looking towards the strangely aggressive fellow, Ibi gave a smirk (He liked to tease and provoke people).
"What's gotten him so uptight?" Ibi turned back to Zephyr and Raz
-

Maylien was exploring the building making sure she knew where everything was. As she went up the stairs she could smell one of the mortals nearby and saw a tail poking out from behind a trash can. Maylien first reaction was to ignore him and move on but something kept nagging her to help him.
"...*sigh* I guess I should at least give these mortals a chance." She mutters and goes back.
"Are you...are you alright." Maylien asks trying hard not to use her judging tone.
-
Starting to get bored by the others' silence, Ibi headed back inside and started checking out the building. He heard a familiar voice, but with a different tone. He smiled and followed the sound.
-
Zephyr was secretly shadowing Ibi... and had left the new girl, in her new form, to shadow Razuel. I just hope I can trust her...
The aforementioned "new girl" was calmly following razuel, getting used to the new form. Hmm... well, at least it's nice soft leather.
-
Raz swiped off the demon matter off of his shoulder and walked back inside and went to the secretary counter and rung the bell on it, "Excuse me?"
-
The leather demon girl watched from the shadows.
-
Ibi found Maylien, but decided to remain hidden. Watching her brought a smile to his face, knowing he had impacted positively. He turned to do something else when he saw something shift in the darkness.
-
Raz was still leaning over the counter, "Why are you watching me?"
-
Valentine appeared at the other side of the counter, sitting coquettishly on the corner. She turned to Raz, smiling slightly. "So, what do you want, big man?"
Ronnie suddenly stepped into the leather demon girl's view, and pointed at her. "What are you doing here? Who left the perimeter open?"
Ray groaned, and turned to Maylien. The young raccoon looked ill. "H-Huh?"
-
"I'm here for the job... I already took down that demon outside... By the way, my name is Razuel.", Raz extended a gloved hand.
-
Valentine waved her paw nonchalantly. "That was some no-named little demon flutting about, you've not seen the ones we've got." She smiled. "But anyway, you're hired."
-
"Well, the thing outside wasn't all that hard... Compared to some of my old Merc jobs."
-
Valentine appeared at the other side of the counter, sitting coquettishly on the corner. She turned to Raz, smiling slightly. "So, what do you want, big man?"
Ronnie suddenly stepped into the leather demon girl's view, and pointed at her. "What are you doing here? Who left the perimeter open?"
Ray groaned, and turned to Maylien. The young raccoon looked ill. "H-Huh?"
Maylien could smell the illness on you...which to her smelled really nice. It was a weird quilpoth thing.
"Mmm...disease...sorry. As much as I like the smell of mortal illness, we should probably get you some help." Maylien helps scoops up Ray in her arms.
-
Raz brought out his wallet, "Is there anywhere that I could stay at, considering that this place had an open room?", Raz put a $100 Bill on the counter.
-
"You should work in a hospital then." Ibi said, stepping out of the shadows and grinning at Maylien. "We'll probably have to take him to a hospital... If there are any left nearby."
-
"You lack a cleric or priest of some sorts? That is surprising since you claim to hunt demons." Maylien says. The last time she was summoned to the mortal plain was back in medieval times and back than the priests and clerics used their holy powers to heal.
-
"Not sure. I've been a nomad for a few weeks now." Ibi admitted.
It had been a few days since Ibi had any form of company.
-
(I am going to wait on Ray. Feels weird to be walking around with his fursona.)
-
The leather girl sighed openly. "Seriously?" she said in the female voice that Zephyr sometimes spoke in, taking a stance that gave her a feel of authority. "I work for you... And to answer your question... What was it? Razuel?" The armor gave the impression of smiling. "I'm just shadowing you to make sure you find your room and behave." There was a slight sexual undertone to "behave".
"Seriously, lass?" Zephyr heard Ryk say in his head. The cat sighed. Oh boy...
-
Raz returned the money and put his wallet back into his pocket, "Well, at the moment, I don't even know where my room is... *Yawns* aahh, and I'm pretty tired..."
-
Ronnie furrowed his brow. "Last I checked, I didn't hire a walking tanning project."
Ray looked up at Maylien, and thrashed weakly. "L-Lemme' alone. I'm f-fine!"
-
(It's tanned leather... like medievalish boot leather.)
The creature cocked her head. "Well, this body's fairly new, if I'm honest," she replied, deciding to be polite considering Ronnie's confusion. "And I was just sort of a package deal..." The armor-creature opened her eyes to reveal they were red... the same shade of red that Zephyr's right eye turned from time to time. "You didn't think you hired a schizophrenic, did you?"
-
Ronnie smirked. "I knew I hired a schizo, didn't realize you could jump from body to body."
-
The girl shrugged. "Well, I'm still understanding it myself, but this body is usually built into the boots," she said. "You'll have to ask him about it."
-
"Calm down buddy, she smells the sick on you." Ibi looked at Ray. "She's a bit weird but she's still helping, and you look like you need it.
-
Raz turned around to the girl, "You work for me?", Raz then rubbed his eye, indicating that he was tired.
-
The leather armor-thing sighed and pressed where the bridge of her nose would be. "I did not motion to you, so no," she said. "You're not schizophrenic, so no. Please excuse my mood, but this questioning just seems strange. Now could we please direct the dragon to his room, bossman?"
-
Raz yawned, "I came from practically the other side of this damn planet, all the planes were delayed, so I just flew all of the way to here... I'm surprised that I even stood my ground to that demon... *Yawns*, I'd really like to see that room."
-
Valentine, who was enjoying Raz's discomfort, sighed. "You don't need to pay, it's YOUR room." She handed Raz a blank key, and nodded. "Pick a room that isn't assigned a key, and this'll match the lock. Choose wisely, 'cause you're not getting another key."
-
"Thank you.", Raz took the key and went down a hallway, and came upon a room that when he unlocked the door looked as though it was made for him, "Huh, this is pretty interesting...", but at this time, Raz wasn't interested in looking around the room, he was just focused on sleeping, so he went to his bed and layed down on it, and it was really soft, he practically just fell asleep.
-
Ronnie furrowed his brow. "Last I checked, I didn't hire a walking tanning project."
Ray looked up at Maylien, and thrashed weakly. "L-Lemme' alone. I'm f-fine!"
Maylien's grip only tightened.
"Keep struggling and it won't end well. Now where is your room."
-
Ray stopped struggling, and sighed. "Second room on the right, on the third floor."
Ronnie, done with the situation, got onto the PA. "Attention, Agents. You'll be mobilizing for the 'Deadbeat' case tomorrow. Reports suggest this demon is getting stronger. You have to stop him tomorrow."
-
Zephyr nodded once and decided to let Ryk take over. "Now behave," he joked.
"Oh, very funny, lad," the Scottish voice replied.
The leather girl sighed. "Well, I suppose my work here is done," she said, stretching in a rather sensual manner. "I'd best get back to them... Or do I need to fill out a form as well?" She put a finger to where her mouth would be.
-
Ronnie simply walked into his office, and slammed the door.
Valentine placed a paw gently on the leather girl's shoulder. "You've gone and upset him, dear. May want to keep your head down for a while, lest Ronnie decide to banish you." She shuddered. "Lost a janitor like that, not a fun way to go."
-
The girl nodded. "Right... I'll stay out of his view, then," she said. "Do you think you could help me find the person? I'm not sure where he is."
-
Maylien took Ray to his room and opened the door. She laid him down on his bed and gave a casual glance around his room.
-
Raz heard a room open just next door and decided to go see who was there, when Raz got to the room's entrance, he saw Maylien and Ray, then walked into the room's doorway, "What's going on here?"
-
Ibi followed Maylien to Ray's room. He stood outside the door and looked in. "Nice view." He said, gesturing to a window. "Though Imm not overly fond of that thing on the horizon."
It was a long way off, but it looked like a path of total destruction heading straight towards the building everyone was in.
-
Zephyr watched from a distance.
-
Raz looked at Ibi, "Hmm, do you have a clue to what it is?"
-
Ibi grinned at the sight. "For us mercenaries, it's time to earn our wage."
He turned towards the door, ready to leave. "Who wants to come and kill some stuff?"
-
"I would, but I think that I'll stay here for now, probably get to know the others better."
-
Ronnie was standing outside the building, watching the miasma approach. He held a large, silver and gold plated cross, bracing it against the ground and either paw on the arm-spars. Ronnie, for the first time that day, looked happy.
Valentine was seated on the rooftop, a massive rifle in her grip. It was something she picked up from a demon smith way back when. A relic from when the idea of going to war with the mortals was still prevalent, it fired something known as a Purifier round; several magic-silver slugs encased in a sabot made from the bones of a demon. This round, theoretically, removes whatever demonic, or angelic, entity it strikes. The whole round was about the size of a toddler, and seemed to whisper when left out.
-
The leather girl walked up to Zephyr. "Hey, you may have some explaining to do later... huh?" She looked out the window and noticed the miasma. "... What's..."
"You might want to get back in, lass," Ryk replied. "We'll need to wake him up."
The leather girl nodded and, remembering what Zephyr had told her, focused until the bits making up her body reattached to Zephyr's boots and her consciousness was back in the cat's head.
Zephyr woke up as she reentered... and saw the miasma. "... I'd better get my coat," he said, straightening his tie.
-
Razuel took a better look at the creature in the distance, "Uhh... On second thought, I think I may help."
-
"That would be best," Zephyr said, having heard Razuel speak. He had gotten his coat and hat. "If you want to be trusted, helping out would gain you a lot of ground."
-
Ibi had gone to the roof as well, sniper in hand. It wasn't as fancy as Valentine's, though it was still great for what it did.
He held it up and aimed. Letting his breath out slowly, he fired and hit his target directly in the chest.
-
Zephyr saw the shot. "... That's not going to work," he muttered.
-
Raz seemed giddy, "Oooh, this'll be fun!", Raz then ran out and into his room, grabbed his sword and Pistol and a strong re-breather, then leaped out of his window, and flew, then began to gain speed as a silver cone of fire formed around him as his sword was being held out infront of him towards the Miasma, "Wooooohooooo, C'mere big boy!", but was still far away from it.
-
It took a few moments, but the round Ibi fired exploded in the demon's chest, ripping a large chunk out of it's armour plating. Smirking, Ibi looked at Zephyr. "You were saying?"
-
"It's not gonna work," Zephyr said. "Besides, going off-script for a moment, we have no idea what we're even fighting yet."
-
Valentine sighed, and waited for what she assumed would be a form of ring leader, keeping her rifle cradled gently in her lap.
Ronnie still stood on the field, simply waiting for whatever it was to approach.
-
"See for yourself." Ibi held up his rifle and allowed Zephyr the opportunity to look through it.
It was about twice the size of the one that had pursued him here.
-
Zephyr looked for a moment. ".... Yeah, that's not the bad guy," he said. "That's one of their minions... still, they should be cleared out, I suppose." The cat backed away and gave the "ok" symbol with his fingers. "Keep at it."
-
In the distance from the building, a cone of slivery fire could be seen heading towards the Demon, and on further investigation, you could see Raz with his sword extended infront of him, flying through the sky.
-
Zephyr sees this and widens his eyes. "Dammit," he muttered, charging out into the battlefield. "He's going to get himself killed..."
-
The cone became bigger and bigger, cutting through the haze emitting from the Demon, then the demon focused on Raz and was swinging at him, "Woah! That's not very nice!", Raz managed to get his re-breather on and went high into the sky then began to drive straight down into the demon's head, which then Raz split it's had in two, but it was still alive, "What the...", Raz then distanced himself from the demon and began to shot at it with his Pistol, with the fire mod on it, "Die. Die. DIE!", the demon then grabbed Raz and threw him far behind it and went after him.
-
Ibi fired again, hitting the demon's leg. It blew up and destroyed its knee. The demon fell just short of Razuel, but still tried reaching out to him. Ibi fired at its arm and destroyed its hand next, before jumping off the roof and beginning the long run to Raz.
-
Raz got up just in time to see the monster just fall short of him, he then pressed a button on his pistol that then made it fold out into the BFG, a gun that feeds off of demon essence, and began to charge it up, "You're dead. Punk.", Raz then let off a powerful blast from the gun, causing a green explosion, that engulfed the monster and Raz, then disappeared, revealing more than half of the demon gone and Raz laying down on his back, smoke lines coming off of him, against a slab of rock in a small crater, with a goofy smile on his face, he then said to himself, "That... was... so... FUN!"
-
Ibi halted when he saw the explosion. He then saw half of the demon missing and Razuel lying on his back. He ran faster to try and get to the dragon before it was too late, but slowed down when he heard laughter.
-
Razuel stopped laughing when he began to cough, he quickly reached into his coat and grabbed another small canister and replaced the one in his re-breather, providing him with a supply of clean air.
-
"Are you alright?" Ibi asked as he rushed over to Razuel. Putting his sniper away, he knelt down and started looking for any signs of serious injury.
-
Raz kept his re-breather to his mouth and gave a thumbs up, but as he got up, he felt one of his wings as though it was a cheap cardboard angel wing, he then took his re-breather and lent it to Ibi, "Save your breath, the air is poisonous here. My left wings is possibly dislocated, but I can walk... damn thing could've killed me... thanks for comin' for me. C'mon... lets go before more come along...", Raz holstered his pistol and used his sword as a crutch, and began to do a sort of hop-limp back to the building, at a slow pace. Raz would let out a cough every now and then.
-
Ibi started to feel a little light-headed, so he grabbed Razuel - avoiding the wing - and headed back to the others.
-
Razuel took out another canister from his jacket and replaced the one in Ibi's, "There *cough* that should do you for a while *cough*."
-
"You'll want to move faster than that, laddie!" a voice said. Suddenly, a figure in a suit of armor ran up out of seemingly nowhere and began helping Razuel and Ibi along at a faster rate.
-
"Thanks.", Razuel said as their speed picked up back to the building.
-
"Well, considering that the fight might not be over yet, it's best to get you out of danger," the Scottish voice replied.
Zephyr did not appear to be anywhere.
-
As fast as they were going, it looked like the edge of the cloud was getting further and further away. "We need to move in another direction." Ibi said, but it came out as an incoherent slur. There was a chill and Ibi felt something trying to take over his body, but he was determined to stop it.
The real demon is in the air... Crap... He thought as his consciousness was replaced with another.
-
Raz's sword all of a sudden ignited and a fiery bubble went around the group, seemingly purifying the air within, "Huh, I think my sword might be sentient...", then in the distance a howl could be heard, "Uh-oh, we'd better keep moving.", and as they continued, the bubble followed them.
-
"... We don't have time for this simple donner, lads," the armored thing said... come to think of it, it seemed rather hollow. "So... sorry bout this, boyo..." Suddenly, the armor lifted both Ibi and Razuel up and ran them inside at a charge.
-
As they got back inside, the bubble disappeared, and Razuel tumbled inside the building, and winced as he got back up, from the pain that he indured, landing on his wing, "Ow, **censor**!"
-
There was something strange with Ibi as he rolled a few times and landed in a low crouch. His eyes had gone dark and sharp claws protruded from his limbs.
-
Raz looked at Ibi, "Uh, Ibi?", Raz squinted at him, "Oh, shit!", Raz then quickly made his way to behind the main desk in the lobby and found an intercom and used it, "Demon in the lobby!"
-
There was a battle going on in Ibi's mind. Fortunately, Ibi was not the kind to go down without a fight. He regained control briefly, and struggled to say a few words.
"Possession... in... air..."
-
Raz said over the Intercom, "Careful of the Haze, it may possess, plus I still need assistance down here!", he then turned to Ibi, "Fight it, Ibi!"
-
Ibi choked out a "trying to" before struggling with the demon more. He had begun thrashing and destroying the lobby, though that was most likely the demon throwing him around.
-
(Hey back from my mom's...what's going on?)
-
(Waiting for Ray to reply. Whoever this demon is, they have major demon minions.)
Suddenly, a sheet of ice spread across the floor and under Ibi's feet. "That's far enough," a voice said.
-
"Where is it!?! Where the demon!!!" A scream could be heard inside everyone's head as very loud crashing could be heard coming down to the lobby. It was clearly Maylien and as soon as she had heard demon on the intercom she had thrown hersef into a frenzy of rage. She appeared in the lobby in her true form her eye filled with anger and her mouths wide open...once she saw it was ibi though she stopped.
"...mortal?"
-
Raz could clearly be seen in pain, leaning against the main lobby desk, "Ibi's possessed... and as I said, it's the haze that caused it."
-
Ibi saw Maylien and, knowing the struggles she was having with 'mortals', fought harder with newfound determination. There was searing pain due to the Demon trying to distract him, but he fought on.
"If it takes me... completely... promise you'll make it quick..." He said, before returning to his mind battle.
-
"That won't be necessary," Zephyr said... inside Ibi's head. "Now let's see what we can do together. I'll explain later." The fight was eased a bit with the support, but it would ultimately be up to Ibi.
More ice attacks came at Ibi, trying to keep him still.
-
Maylien grits her teeth but smiles as she realizes something.
"Who said this was a one on one battle?" She says and reaches out her mind to enter Ibi's to join in on the mental battle against the demon.
-
Ibi grinned as more support came to aid him. There was still a struggle, but the demon was eventually suppressed. It wasn't ejected from his body though, and Ibi heard a thought echo in his mind.
I've come with an offer, not a warning.
"Hold on guys, let's try and see what this demon wants, it's saying something about an offer." He said. "Restrain me, just in case."
-
Raz just stood there leaning against the desk and kept trying to fix his dislocated wing, but kept failing, hurting himself each time.
-
"You're restrained," Zephyr's voice said in Ibi's head. Sure enough, there was a strange magic ice encasing Ibi's body up to his neck. "Demons can't break it."
-
Ibi relaxed and the demon took over his mind for a moment. It spoke to everyone in the room with a voice colder than the ice.
"You're most likely seeing me as a demon, yes? Well, the simplicity is; I am no longer. I was disgraced from my faction - of which you have yet to encounter. I saw the suffering of your people and mine and questioned its validity. The General is not overly fond of morals, so he cast me out. Thus, I have no physical form anymore. I am a rogue spirit, and the information I can provide will prove valuable in this conflict. I have but one request, allow me to drive a blade through the General's heart. I will remain in this body until then."
One of Ibi's darker eyes faded to normal, indicating that he had control of his body back.
-
Ronnie was walking the halls of the office, issuing new defensive orders. "No-one enters or leaves without contacting me, Valentine, or the security team. Security team is on double-alert, until further notice. Every non-agent will be issued blessed pistols, and blessed firearms will be stocked in the armory."
Valentine was seated on Raz's desk, knowing he was injured. "Something wrong, big man?"
Ray was in his room, simply staring at his feet on the edge of the bed. He felt like he was in someone else's body, and unsure of what was wrong.
-
It could clearly be seen that Raz's left wing had become dislocated. Raz uel pointed to his wing, "My wing is dislocated. .. it really hurts."
(BTW, Raz is in the main lobby with Ibi and the rest of them.)
-
"Hey, um... Can I be released now?" Ibi asked, the ice was beginning to make him feel cold and he wanted out. He could feel the spirit roaming through his mind, it was weird but he could get used to it.
-
Maylien went around a corner and changed back to anthro form. She got her dress on and came back out.
"It is good that you are alright, mortal. It would have been a shame to have had to put you down." She says but even though she tried to sound all high and mighty, she was actually really scared that she was able about to lose another friend. Though it was impossible to tell this because she was good at concealing emotions.
-
Ibi looked at Maylien when she had spoken to him. "Glad you think so." He would have started shivering but his whole body was encased in the ice.
-
Raz began to stumble over to Ibi, "Just wait, I'll thaw you out."
-
"Just be careful with him." Maylien blurted out. She blushed for a moment and resume having a stone cold expression.
-
"Hey Raz, this guy in my head says he can make me fireproof while you melt the ice. Reckon that'll make things easier?" Ibi asked, his darker eye flickering.
-
"It's okay, I'm careful with my fire, so there's no need to make you fireproof, Ibi.", Raz stopped infront of Ibi and began to breath fire on the ice, letting his fire lick the ice, making it melt and reducing its structural integrity.
-
Ibi broke free of the ice not too long after it started melting. The rogue spirit, making itself known as Malthey, gave him brief fireproof capabilities so the excess fire wouldn't leave any marks. He sighed once he was free and stretched.
"Thanks."
-
"...you know...it would make it a lot easier for me if I knew your names. Referring to you as mortal is getting old." Maylien says as she was watching all this.
-
Ibi walked over and held out an arm. "I'm Ibi. I don't mind being called 'mortal' though, it's kinda cute." He stuck his tongue out and chuckled.
-
Maylien blushed hard at that comment.
"Oh uh w-well than, Ibi...I am sorry I should go." She said looking very flustered before running off down the hall, trying to find the room she had claimed.
-
Ibi grinned as Maylien ran off. He could almost feel the heat radiating from her cheeks. He turned to Razuel and chuckled. "Well that was odd."
-
Raz was just about finished, "I think she likes you... I'll be done soon."
-
Maylien went into her room and locked the door. Her heart was racing and she felt feint. The last time she felt this way was with...her mate.
"Could I possibly...no that can't possibly be it...I hope." Maylien felt extremely confused and laid down on her bed, trying to keep her emotion in check.
-
"Yeah, I'd say so." Ibi said. "Wonder why." He muttered, looking back down the hall.
-
Raz finished thawing Ibi out, "There you go!... I'd suggest you go to her, she may need some comfort.", Raz then winced as he got up from thawing Ibi out, and as he did, he felt his dislocated wing bounce, which made him wince, "Gah... but before you go, counld you maybe help me with my wing... it's dislocated..."
-
"Sure thing." Ibi said as he walked behind Razuel. "This will likely hurt."
He gave little warning as he popped the wing back in place with a sickening crunch.
-
"GRAAHHH... *huf huf*, thanks... I-I think I'm gonna go sit down. Thanks, by the way.", Raz went behind the main desk and sat on the chair there.
-
"No worries." Ibi said. "I'm gonna go check on Maylien, see what's up."
He headed down the hall to Maylien's room and stood outside for a moment. He hesitated for a moment, for some reason, then knocked.
"Maylien? You ok?"
-
Maylien jumped when she heard Ibi outside. She was relaxing in her true form in her "bed", which was actually a bath tub full of mud. Mud and dirt felt very soothing on her body and it reminded her of the depths of the abyss.
"Y-yes I am fine...the door is unlocked." She said over telepathy and sank in her tub a little.
-
After hearing her voice in his mind, Ibi opened the door slowly. He saw Maylien's true form but, not knowing it was her, he still called out for her.
"Maylien? There's a giant muddy octopus here. Should I be concerned?"
-
"...it's me. Haven't I showed you my true form?" Maylien says more than a little embarrassed.
-
"Oh... Right. Yeah, umm... I think I saw wen I walked in on you that one time." Ibi flushed. He hadn't expected this to be her, more likely some pet she had. Still, he didn't want to be awkward.
"You have nice... tentacles?" He realised that he had just made it awkward.
-
Maylien buried herself in the mud a little more as it was fairly awkward.
"Thanks I guess...if this is too weird maybe I should take my anthro form?"
-
"Well, it doesn't bother me what form you take, I was just a little surprised is all." Ibi approached slowly. He paused for a moment and spoke up again.
"Do you uhh... like me? You seemed pretty flustered earlier."
-
Maylien was extremely nervous by now and for the longest time wasn't sure how to respond.
"...I think I do...but it's so confusing. The only person I have ever felt this way about is my mate...but he is gone now."
-
Raz was then grabbed by a demon wolf and thrown down the hallway, "HOLLYY SHIIIIII-*CRASH* Ow...", Raz got up and his fists were engulfed in a silver flame, then Raz ran at the wolf and charged at it with his hands because his sword was still at the desk, "NEVER DISTURB MY SLEEEPP!!"
-
(How did a demon get in?)
-
(Fixed it. this better?)
When Raz went to punch it, it just broke into metalic pieces, "What the... this was a robot!?"
-
(Can we please not have combat after combat. I know fighting can be fun but having one right after the other is annoying.)
-
(Alright, I got it, I'll stop with the combat for now)
Raz was simply exhausted and just flopped backwards onto the ground, his head just landing outside Maylien's doorway, he saw Ibi and Maylien, "You look pretty...", Raz looked up at a nametag on the door, "...Maylien."
-
Ibi's face went bright red. "So you do then..." He muttered under his breath. He didn't know what to think at this point, so he sat next to Maylien and sighed softly.
-
(Sorry but we just don't want random combats occurring with everyone else gone.)
Maylien just hides in the mud at that point went Razuel enters.
"Yes...but it feel a so weird. Admittedly you have been nice since we have met."
-
"Well, there was no reason not to be." Ibi said, matter-of-factly. "Hey Raz."
-
Raz gave a flick of his index finger and middle finger as a hello, "Since when did we have a training room with hostile robots..."
-
"I know but...every time I am summoned to this realm I am asked to kill mortals and do whatever bidding my "master" needs. No one ever cares how I feel and I normally kill anyone who dares to summon me...I am sorry if that disturbs you." Maylien says as she that she is talking to mortals who tend to care if someone has killed people.
-
Razuel ended up falling asleep.
-
"Well, if it helps, I've killed my fair share. It's what I get paid to do." Ibi said. He looked at a tendril that was trailing over the side of the mud bath. "What's it like having multiple forms?"
-
"Well this is what I normally look like so this feels normal. When I change to anthro it normally feels off, like I am wearing someone else's skin. I only have that form for the sake of dealing with mortals, cause it is less grotesque apparently than the way I look now...you know it makes me glad when I don't have to use it though. It proves that a mortal is more tolerant of me than most others." When Mayien thinks about it...she thought she had seen a slightly different face looking in at her when she was in the bathroom.
"...tell me, do you have a different form?"
-
"Sort of." Ibi said. "My body changes itself every now and then, depending on how I'm feeling. When I walked in on you, I was slightly more feminine. Now, I'm masculine. It usually leaves me weak for a few minutes after the change, but I get used to it."
-
"Hmm...interesting, well it's a shame you were a guy when I found you cause I thought you were a peeping Tom." Maylien laughs.
-
Raz woke up at that last remark, "Heh, that's pretty funny how you two met at first.", still laying on the floor.
-
"Lucky I'm good with words, huh." Ibi chuckled.
-
Raz finished thawing Ibi out, "There you go!... I'd suggest you go to her, she may need some comfort.", Raz then winced as he got up from thawing Ibi out, and as he did, he felt his dislocated wing bounce, which made him wince, "Gah... but before you go, counld you maybe help me with my wing... it's dislocated..."
Zephyr finally reappeared, the grasscutter sheathed. "Uh... why did you go through the trouble of making it look like the ice was thawing?" the female voice said; the two were alone in the lobby with the armor. "Couldn't you just have said that you were making it disappear?"
"I wished to exercise my illusory spells," Zephyr replied. "We're going up against something big. I'll need the practice."
"Good job with that, laddie," the armor thing said, walking over with a strange silence. "Now, if you don't mind, I'll be popping back in..." Suddenly, the armor creature disassembled and became part of the gauntlets that Zephyr always wore. The cat shivered for a moment, then opened his eyes- blue once more- and went to check on the others.
-
"You certainly are...anyway I should probably get out. I feel weird talking to you while covered in mud." Maylien says and starts to climb out.
-
"Do you want me to step outside?" Ibi asked. "You know, for privacy."
-
"...I was just going to stay in this form. When I decide to be anthro I will need privacy though." Maylien says as she climbs out, the mud just sliding off her into the floor.
-
Some of the mud fell on Ibi. He laughed as it slid down his leg - it was rather cold and slimy.
"I might have to clean that up before it dries in my fur..." He chuckled.
-
Zephyr walks past that room, not looking inside.
-
Raz was still lying on the ground and saw Zeyphyr walk by, "Hello, buddy. A practice robot attacked me earlier... but it's dismantled now."
-
Zephyr cocked his head. "We have practice robots?" he asked. "I don't remember that being part of the details here..." Sighing, the cat walked over and offered Razuel a hand up.
-
Raz took the hand and got up, "Well that's what I assumed when I hit that thing and it dismantled itself.", Raz pointed to the robotic wolf remains.
-
Zephyr cocked his head slightly and looked at the robot. "Huh... that sure is odd," he said, crouching down to examine the pieces. "I seriously don't remember there being practice robots..."
-
Ibi started looking for a cloth to wipe the mud off his leg.
-
Maylien wipes the mud off with her tentacles and her stomach growls.
"I am going to get something to eat, would you like to join me Ibi?"
-
On one of the pieces some black guk dripped off, "Then it may be the case that we truly don't. Look there."
-
"Sure!" Ibi said. He had found a cloth and cleaned off the mud from his leg just as Maylien spoke.
He had a small blusher on when he heard Maylien's stomach growl.
-
Maylien started to clamber her way out the door than stopped.
"Ibi...where is the kitchen again?"
-
"I dunno, I haven't really had the grand tour yet." Ibi admitted. "We could always find a cafe." He joked, the tongue-in-cheek comment followed by a short chuckle.
-
"Yes...but we would have to ask permission first." Maylien says and actually ponders it.
"You know what I have heard mortal cafes have excellent steak. Let me get dressed and than we can go ask permission."
-
"They do have excellent steak." Ibi said. "And who needs permission? You're immortal and I'm... slightly less immortal..."
-
"I am ageless...but I suppose if we leave a note it will be alright. Now leave for a second." Maylien ushers you out the door with one of her tentacles and closes it. In a few minutes she comes out in anthro form wearing a red sun dress and sandals.
-
Ibi's face was as red as the dress. He had bumped into the wall opposite before turning and stumbling fhe other way. He had stuck out his hand for support since his other hand was being held out to avoid bumping into more walls. It had backfired, however, and his hand ended up right in the middle of her chest.
He pulled it away immediately.
-
Maylien began to panic as she saw you start stumbling around.
"Oh my are you ok, what's happening?" Maylien asks trying to figure out how to help.
-
"Yeah, just whacked my muzzle on the wall." Ibi reassured Maylien.
-
Maylien was flustered again as she thought she had done something.
"Is it this dress? Is it too ugly? Am I too ugly? Oh I knew I should have picked something else..." Maylien starts to panic saying all sorts of things.
-
"No, you're fine!" Ibi said. "The dress actually looks very nice."
His face was still red.
-
Maylien blushed even more at the compliment.
"Oh...well than...I guess we should get going."
-
Ibi smiled softly. "Sounds good." He held out his arm and looped it around Maylien's with a cheeky grin. He was somewhat amused with her flustered demeanor around him.
-
Maylien gently leaned against Ibi as he locked arms with her. Her face was very red but oddly enough she felt safe near Ibi.
-
Ibi felt his face redden as Maylien leaned against him. It seemed ironic that the immortal was clinging to the mortal, but Ibi was content with the company. He missed the friends he had back at his old home and he was hoping he could start a new one here. Things seemed to be working out for him thus far, and he dearly hoped that they wouldn't change.
"Is there another way out? Don't want to be too obvious." He chuckled.
-
On one of the pieces some black guk dripped off, "Then it may be the case that we truly don't. Look there."
Zephyr took a look at it, then sighed loudly and looked over his shoulder at Raz. "It's an alarm clock," he said dryly. "Possibly an experimental one. It must've been malfunctioning; I assume from your appearance that you had been sleeping." Shrugging, the cat started to gather the pieces. "We might as well make it into a training robot... or a combat robot that can aid us. Seriously, this is a terrible idea for an alarm clock..."
-
Ray, after a time, got up. He stumbled out of his room, and moved to Ronnie's office. After a few more moments, Ray started towards the doors, as Ronnie made an announcement.
"Attention all staff and Agents, we are locking the building down while a mission is underway. All entrances are locked, except for the main lobby entrance." As Ronnie spoke, several large security doors could be heard shutting, slamming against the marble floor. Ronnie then continued. "In addition, all agents prepare for deployment, you depart in two hours."
-
Raz sighed at the announcement, "Well it'd be best if we did turn the bot into a defense bot."
-
Maylien sighed
"Shame and I was looking forward to the cafe." She said as she heard the intercom.
-
Zephyr stood up and looked over his shoulder at Razuel. "Get your crap together," he said. "And this time, keep your finger off the trigger. We can't just go in guns blazing all the time, especially in the public eye."
-
Raz mumbled something at Zephyr then went to his room and grabbed his things, specifically his sword and gun, then went back to Zephyr, "What do ya want to do until deployment?"
-
"Son of a..." Ibi trailed off. "I'm not an agent though..." He looked to Maylien apologetically.
"Wait... Why don't we meet at that cafe after you're done with the mission?"
-
"Sounds like a...date." Maylien said, the word "date" feeling a little strange right now.
-
"It kinda does, doesn't it." Ibi said, chuckling softly. "Well, I'll be glad to see you there."
-
Maylien loops her arm out of yours and stands there awkwardly for a moment as she considers something. She says something in ancient abyssal (the language of demons except much older.) and gives Ibi a kiss on the lips by accident. Having only ment to kiss him on the cheek, she gets extremely flustered.
"My apologies! I only ment to kiss you on...I have to go!" She says before running off down the hall.
-
Ibi stood still, eyes wide. He watched Maylien as she ran down the hall. His mind was racing at this point.
Well... Now I know how she really feels... This isn't a game anymore.
-
Zephyr shrugged. "Well, if you're willing to put up with it, perhaps you could talk to my associate," he said. "She still needs some assistance... assimilating into the real world." The cat looked at Razuel. "By the way, the words I said earlier was not me getting on your case or anything, nor a judgement of your character." He cracked a slight smile. "To be totally honest... it was more for me. But still... it's good to remember. I'm not fond of fighting the law."
-
(Is this rp still alive?)
-
((Life support, but yeah. I'm just tryin' to think of what to do. People disappear every now and again.))
-
(Alright well I will still be doing it.)
-
(I was waiting for others to post, but I'm still here)
-
((I'm still here, but I have no idea what to do))
-
(Same here, I am going to wait for ray to figure something out.)
-
((I wanna try and get the next mission out of the way, but I don't want to force people.))
-
(That is what I thought we were waiting for.)
-
Maylien just waited at the mission point still very red in the face after kissing ibi.
-
Raz went to the Mission point with his weapons and stood next to Maylien, "You look a little flustered.", Raz then chuckled.
-
"No I am not...I am just...just..." Maylien struggles to figure out something dignified to say but can't think of anything.
-
((Whoops, sorry! I didn't realize!))
Ray climbed from the van, and started towards the club. Unbeknownst to the entire crew, the world inside the building was far different then the one they knew.
-
Raz looks closer at Maylien, "Is that lipstick on your face?"
-
Ibi followed the group from far behind, keeping enough distance between him and the group so that they didn't hear him. He was chuckling softly as he listened in on Raz and Maylien's conversation.
-
Ray placed a paw on the door-handle, and looked back at the door. He looked worn, yet ferocious, a new light behind his usually placid eyes. This light beheld an anger like something unknown to the mortal coil. Ray spoke, quietly. "Are we ready?"
-
Ibi remained hidden, watching the group without their knowledge. He saw a flicker not too far away from the group and, not knowing if it was a threat or not, got out his sniper. Zooming in, he saw a small demon sneaking up on the group. It was weird that it had reflected light to him, since he didn't see any armour plating on it. There was another bright flash of light coming from it and he was briefly blinded by it.
It wasn't until he saw the metal blade swinging towards Raz that he fired, the loud shot echoing throughout the landscape.
He heard a shuffle behind him and rolled, a blade burying itself in his shoulder. His cry of pain was almost louder than the sniper rifle.
-
Ray's paw shot up, faster than ever before, and loosed a shot from his revolver, stopping the metal blade in it's tracks. He let go of the door, and started towards the demon gunner, determined to remove the nuisance.
-
Ibi, now in agony, aimed his rifle with his good arm and dispatched the threat before pulling the blade out of his shoulder. He got up, groaning, and hobbled to the rest of the group. He knew that his time was limited, so he tried making his way quickly. He collapsed about halfway there.
-
Raz came running past Ibi and kept whatever threat there was off of Ibi, "Ibi, can you get up!?", one of the demons managed to jump on Raz and started to claw at him, but he took that demon and literally ripped it in half, "Ibi, get up and get out if you can stand, Gah!", a few shots from a demon gunner got Raz in the left hand, "Shit, you'll pay for that, demon!"
-
Ray, using Raz and Ibi as a springboard, lept high over the combatants, raining lead-vengeance onto anything unfortunate enough to get caught out.
-
A mass of the demons tried to jump onto Raz and Ibi so Raz jabbed his sword into the ground and a burst of fire shot out in a bowl shape, and launching Ray further in the process, "Ray! Ibi's hurt!"
-
Ray, for a brief moment, glanced down at Ibi and Raz, his eyes alight with pure evil. He simply reloaded, landed (while deftly slamming a demon to the ground with his heel, and continued shooting demons.
-
Raz looked at Ray, "Are you alright?", a demon tried to come from above, but Raz quickly took out his pistol and shot is square in the head.
-
(I hate when stuff happens while I am asleep.)
Maylien was currently in her true form tearing through the small demons like they were nothing. The demons tried to claw, bite and scratch at her but their attack barely left a mark on her demonic hide.
With a single gaze she made the demons paralyzed with pure disgust which made it very easy to finish them off. Those that resisted her gaze were either eaten alive, slammed into the ground or slapped aside by her tentacles.
"Is this all the demon forces have to throw at me! Bring me a real challenge!" Maylien shouted over telepathy as the smaller demons started to retreat from her.
-
Ibi could feel consciousness slipping away as his shoulder bled. A puddle of blood was gathering around the mercenary, and he felt that he wasn't going to make it. His vision blurred as he felt the hot fluid spread around his back.
-
(Before anyone attempts to save ibi I have a plan that I messaged him.)

(I am basically asking his permission to do something with this particular creature)
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
(okay then)
Raz continued to keep the demons off Ibi, he then looked back to Ibi, "What the? Blood? Shit, I can't, GAH, get to him. IBI, STAY WITH US!!"
-
Ray continued dumping round after round into the horde, reloading faster than what could ever be possible. Some could swear he shot seven rounds out of a six-shell cylinder. Each bullet, even if it went wide, would find it's target. Death was being dealt like it was going out of fashion.
-
Ibi's eyes closed, accepting his fate. He felt a tear drip from his eye as the life started leaving his body.
Sorry, I won't be able to make that date Maylien...
Blood stopped flowing from his body as his heart stopped and his lungs emptied themselves.
-
Maylien saw fought her way to ibi and his dying form. Panic was clear on her face and did not waste time with a single demon.
"No! I refuse lose you ibi! Not again! Never again!" Maylien shouted as she turned to anthro form, not caring that she had no clothes on. There was only one way she knew to revive him and she couldn't waste any time.
Maylien fell beside ibi and held him in her arms as her hold body began convulsing. In the most disgusting display ever, Maylien vomitted a huge amount of milky white goo into Ibi's open mouth, after which she felt extremely weak. The goo began to writhe and squirm it's way down Ibi's throat and soon his Maylien could hear his heart beating again. However other things began to change to as Ibi grew an extra set of smaller arms, a pair of small mandibles, claws where his fingers used to be and his eyes turned milky white.
Ibi was alive though...but at a very obvious cost.
-
The first thing Ibi felt was the warm goo spreading throughout him. He felt it bring his limbs back, but there was something... different. He felt a strange itch all over his body as his extra limbs grew. There was an ache in his brain that felt like a brain freeze. He opened his eyes and his vision returned, stronger than ever. There were colours floating around him that he never even knew existed.
He knew the face of the woman staring down at him, but there was something... different. There was a genuine fear in her eyes that he had never seen before. That was when he realised something.
He had died, and she had brought him back.
He tried to say "Thank you." But all that came out was a hoarse cough that shook his whole body.
-
Raz looked back again to see Maylien holding what he thought to be was Ibi, "Maylien, i-is that Ibi?", a demon tried to jump on Maylien, and Raz shot it with a holy she'll?, vaporizing it.
-
Tears streamed down Maylien face from all four of her eyes as she slumped over on ibi's chest. She couldn't speak, move or do anything as she had effectively <REMOVED>, quite literally. What she lost would eventually grow back but for the moment she was completely helpless. However the demon horde had suffered heavy losses from when Maylien had cut her way through and by now there was just a few stragglers that needed to be cleaned up.
-
Raz took another look baxk to see Maylien looking very weak, "Maylien, if you can, get out now! Ray and I can finish the rest, get you and Ibi out of here!"
-
Ibi sat up slowly, holding Maylien. He picked her up bridal-style and carried her back to the main building. Opening the door, he chuckled.
"It feels like a honeymoon." He joked.
-
Maylien gave a smiled at the comment and buried her face in Ibi's chest. Her body felt almost completely numb and all she could feel is a dull throbbing pain going up and down her body, but it was all worth it if it meant Ibi could be with her.
-
Raz went back to back with Ray and held his sword and gun, then said to Ray, "Ready to have some fun?"
-
There was a brief moment where Ibi thought he would be able to get Maylien to her room without incident. Of course, he was mistaken. As he was putting her down on her bed, he stumbled and ended up toppling on top of her.
-
Maylien blushed heavily as they both went into her mud bath, which was her bed. Ibi was looking right into Maylien's eyes and Maylien his, if Maylien could she would scream. Something in her eyes told Ibi that he should really get off.
-
There was a nagging feeling in Ibi's mind that suggested he had invaded Maylien's personal space. Blushing, he climbed off of her and out of the bath. "Sorry, I fell." He muttered. His voice was slightly different from earlier, it sounded a little like a more masculine version of Maylien's. He was taken aback by it, but he remained outwardly calm.
He paused for a while, before bending down and kissing Maylien's cheek. "Thank you... for bringing me back."
-
Maylien smiled and closed her eyes to focus on her telepathy.
"I...love...you..." was all Maylien could manage and even over telepathy it was barely a whisper.
-
Ibi froze upon hearing Maylien's words. His mind wandered to all of his deceased friends, and the grieving process. He didn't want to go through with it again, but there was another nagging feeling that drew him closer to Maylien again.
She had brought him back from the dead.
He leaned down again, closing his eyes, and planted his muzzle on hers.
-
"Yes... just got the last thing set up," Zephyr said, suddenly appearing beside them. "Sorry that it took so long... This place is full of minions..."
(... I wasn't really sure what to do here since we went full anime mode. o-o)
-
Ray executed the final demon, and pounded it's head flat for good measure. He turned to Maylein and Ibi, and shook his head. "Our work has no place for this." Ray walked back to the club, and kicked the door in, effortlessly smearing a patron across the adjacent wall, a smirk on his face. When he entered, however, he collapsed onto his knees, and simply curled up.
-
Raz followed in after Ray into the club and knelt down to Ray when he fell onto the ground, "Ray, are you alright?"
-
Ray, after a few minutes, sat up slowly, and looked around as if he had been sleeping. "W-What? W-Where are we?"
The club interior was much larger than the exterior, a real TARDIS situation. Heavy bass tones carried through the corridors, and music could be heard from the main floor.
-
Raz helped him up, "I followed you here, Ray. And from what I can tell, we're in a club. You collapsed and...", Raz looked to see a bit of blood dripping from Ray, "... we should probably get that looked at, but I'll patch it up now.", Raz looked quickly around and found a first aid cabinet and got some anti-sceptic cloths and cleaned the wound then patched him up, "Alright, you're done. C'mon, lets get you back.", Raz began to try and help Ray up.
-
Ray stood up, shakily at first, but quickly recovered his composure. "S-So...this i-is the club, huh?" He looked around. "Pretty huge in here, I can't even see the ceiling."
-
Raz looked up and saw some metal beams, "I think there is a ceiling, but it's non-existent...?", Raz looked around where he stood and saw a coat rack then gave it to Ray, "Here, use this to ballance yourself... but we should get back to the others."
-
Ibi froze upon hearing Maylien's words. His mind wandered to all of his deceased friends, and the grieving process. He didn't want to go through with it again, but there was another nagging feeling that drew him closer to Maylien again.
She had brought him back from the dead.
He leaned down again, closing his eyes, and planted his muzzle on hers.
Maylien kissed back and for once in her life felt happy. She may have no home, no money, or anything of value but so long as she could stay here with Ibi, she knew she needed nothing else.
-
There was a new energy flowing through Ibi. He knew all too well that this was what he was missing last time - the determination to protect someone.
-
Zephyr strode into the room, looking around. "Get him out of here quickly, then come back," he said. "Preferably with Ibi and Maylien. I'll see if I can't stall him a little." Suddenly, Zephyr seemed to disappear.
-
There was a new energy flowing through Ibi. He knew all too well that this was what he was missing last time - the determination to protect someone.
We kiss for a very long time and when we finish I look tenderly into your eyes, which too me looked a lot better with quilpoth influence.
-
Ray refused the help, and smiled. "We've a mission to finish, right?"
-
Raz shook his head, "Not you. You're not suitable to fight anymore right now, maybe cover fire, but no physical contact. Okay, Ray?"
-
Zephyr, wherever he was, waited patiently for the return of the others, spending his time covertly taking out demons. However, he knew it would be time to change modes soon...
-
Going to Re-make my character
Age: 31
Species: Shiba Inu
Gender: Male
Disposition: Mortal
Tact: Kind, Happy, Support
Preferred weapon(s): AK12, Kabar Knife, and Colt 45. Large Radio on back for support.
Anything else of note: Is always willing to help. Send in with other units for support.
-
(Okay, I could call you in, if you'd like me to?)
-
Ray shook his head. "I'm not sitting a mission out. Besides, there aren't many hostile demons in here, it seems. We've been in here for a while." As he closed his mouth, a blood-curdling scream thundered through the structure, barely audible from the outside. The raccoon blinked, and spoke quietly, both to Raz and a radio in his coat collar. "T-There are civilians in here."
Ronnie, sitting at his desk, snapped the pencil he had been gnawing on as Ray's report came in. "Great...I guess retrieval is a priority now..." He reached for the PA system, and sighed as it squawked to life. "Attention, any and all available agents please head for the transport van immediately. Civilians are present in the area of operation."
-
Zephyr, hearing the scream, swore internally. "Looks like this will have to be a delicate operation," he murmured to himself. "Want me to try helping?" the female voice whispered. "I do need the practice of fighting in your body." "Hmm... maybe," Zephyr replied. "If things get too tough..."
-
Ray started towards the club-proper, his revolver at his side. He placed his paw on the door, and waited.
-
(Sure, call me in.)
-
Raz walked towars Ray and put a hand on his shoulder, "I know how eager you are, but you are not suitable for physical battle. Please, use a rifle to cover fire, or use your speed to rescue the civilians."
-
"Well, let me do something for you first," the female voice said, pulling out a silent communicator and calling a random person back at the base. "Hello? Anyone there?"
-
A voice could be heard on the other side of the radio, "Yeah, I'm here. What do you need?"
-
Ibi's ears perked upon hearing the announcement. He knew that Maylien was unfit to go out, so he opted to ditch the assignment - not that he was a part of the company yet. He'd have to apply when all the others got back.
For now, he climbed back into the bath and settled next to Maylien, a soft hum reverberating through his throat.
-
Maylien let's Ibi get and was starting to regain some of her strength, but certainly could not fight.
(This should be continued in PM >.>)
-
Ray shook off Raz's paw, and stared at him. "I am perfectly capable of defending myself. And I don't need a rifle."
-
Raz sighed and had his pistol ready, "Fine... Then let's do this."
-
"Hi there, dear," the voice whispered. "Could you come to (she gave the address) right this moment, please? We're in need of some backup. Thank you, darling." As she spoke quietly, Zephyr, in control of the rest of his body, drew his grasscutter.
-
"Roger that, I'll be there in a jiffy." Bailey put down the radio and got prepared. After what seemed like an hour the sounds of light footsteps could be heard. A tall and lanky Shiba Inu walked up, the radio on his back was larger than his torso and his black BDU was stained with dirt. "Hi there." He whispered.
-
Zephyr glanced over his shoulder. "You made it here exponentially quick due to text, I see," the female voice said quietly. "Stay on your toes... we'll be going in."
-
Bailey smiled, "I have my ways to get around fast, anyway what's the objective?"
-
Ray pushed the door open, and blinked as a cacophony of light and sound assaulted his senses. Furs of different shapes and sizes danced rhythmically, as the lights in the room changed from one color to the next. At the opposite end of the room stood a DJ booth, with a fur standing behind it. This fur was completely obscured by shadow, though the pair of large headphones dominating his form were obvious.
-
Raz stepped in after Ray and looked around, "My bet is the DJ and the bartender aren't what they seem."
-
"That would be them," the voice said, pointing at the DJ booth. "Follow the raccoon's orders, okay?" It became suddenly apparent that Zephyr's body was entirely hidden by a suit of rather feminine-looking full bodied leather armor.
-
Bailey's eyes looked over at the Raccoon, "Alright then. I guess I'm following your orders, where to lad?"
-
Ray pressed a finger to his lips. "Quiet...Watch that..." He pointed at the DJ as he spoke.
The DJ, bobbing with the music, reached out with one paw, and a patron floated up to the stage. The young female shuddered slightly, and she looked about frantically. "W-What's...Yaah!" She shrieked, as the DJ pulled her closer. The DJ's mouth now hung agape, and it's long tongue reached at the woman.
Ray was mortified by what he was watching.
The female floated within range of the demon's tongue, when it darted down her throat. A few seconds later, the girl's eyes rolled up into her head, and she stopped struggling, just as the demon's tongue exited through her ear. The tongue pulsed a dark green a few times, before retracting, and the young woman was thrown across the stage, landing with a dull thud into a pile of already fed-upon victims. The DJ then returned to normal, the beats from his speakers louder than before.
-
The female voice, now in partial control of Zephyrs body, put a finger to where her mouth would have been. "Well, that's attractive," she murmured sarcastically.
"Focus," Zephyr muttered to the female voice, though he didn't really mind her methods.
-
Raz took aim, "Take out the speakers or the DJ?"
-
Ray shook his head, and nodded. "Shoot whatever you think."
-
Bailey started at the DJ then began to speak, "So shoot the DJ? Got it." He took aim as well and waited for the confirmation to shoot.
-
Suddenly, the music cut, and the DJ looked up from his turn-table. "Well well well, what's this? Clear the stage ladies and gents, we've got a few special guests!" The patrons shuffled aside, until the entire stage was clear. "What's brought you lot around? You aren't partyers, I can tell y'that."
-
Raz took out a white glowing revolver round and put it in his gun and when the gun became armed, it let off a brief blinding light, Raz then yelled out, "Everyone, out, now!", the patrons didn't budge, "What the... I said get out!", Raz turned his head towards Ray, "If he has them tranced, then they might attack us."
-
The demon spoke before Ray could even open his mouth. "They're not for fightin', lad. They're there for food and entertainment." He cackled, and licked his lips, the long tongue flicking his nose as it passed. "What's yer plan, son?"
-
Raz took aim on the speakers and shot, causing the music to stop, "Well, I'm just making it up as I go. And you're next!", the patrons all collapsed as the speakers fizzled out.
-
The DJ mocked surprise, but a few moments later the speakers reconstituted. "Aww...too bad that didn't happen." In fact, from the time Raz first shot to the destruction of the last speaker, the time that had passed had reversed. "You're in my world now, friendos."
-
"You've gotta be kidding me, Gah, Ray do you know anyone with time manipulation?", Raz looked at his magazine and his bullets had replenished, and he took a shot at the DJ this time.
-
Ray shook his head. "I don't think it's time manipulation..." He looked around, and yelped when he looked out the door they had entered. An expansive, all-swallowing void had replaced the opposite room. "W-We're...in his world...his reality now."
-
Raz took his sword out, "The sensei did say this sword does negate all demonic powers... I wonder...", Raz slammed the sword into the ground and it turned into normal concrete, "Holy...", it slowly was took back over though.
-
The DJ chuckled. "Lookit you, tryin' so hard. Tell yah what, we'll play a game." He snapped, and the whole room shifted. The ceiling and walls dissappeared, and the floor was replaced with a checker pattern.
-
Raz looked at Ray, "I rather don't like dancing with demons... so what's the plan?"
-
Maylien let's Ibi get and was starting to regain some of her strength, but certainly could not fight.
(This should be continued in PM >.> )
(Potentially...)
Sitting in the mud bath, Ibi found his arm curling around Maylien. His mind conjured memories of his old company, and the friends he had there. It was a very similar situation to this one, but he hadn't been permanently altered by that company. He smiled as a warmth spread through his entire being, settling further into the soothing mud.
-
Name: Bezkerski, Laurence, Valkerzi
Age: 23
Species: anthro dragon
Gender: male
Disposition: vessel for demon of destruction(calls him self Zet Bolveskerviskc) and is actually half demon himself
Tact: militaristic, likes to get to the point and doesn't like having to beat around the bush. He is very good at negotiations and poisons, as well as using his energy abilities to disable others if they go against orders and is not afraid to kill if he has to but he prefers not to. He is also very good with technology and the demon language so he could be an interpreter.
Preferred weapon(s): Energy infused katana for close range, custom built sniper rifle(caliber varies on ammo used) for long range, for medium range he uses his energy abilities.
Anything else of note: he has various scars and burn marks all over his body from various wars and fights with others.
=================================================
Name: Bolveskerviskc, Zet, unknown
Age: unknown
Species: unknown but presumed to be a dragon
Gender: presumably male
Disposition: demon of destruction
Tact: Zet is a demon who is easily angered and tends to try to retaliate but Laurence usually calms him down quickly. Laurence has known Zet for as long as he can remember and possibly has been with his family for generations as his family has rituals to bond a demon to their members as a rite of passage, most participants die from their battles. Zet has been known to be a nice guy when he's in the mood. He also loves to toy with peoples emotions usually Laurence's. He rarely shows himself but he has been known to just appear.
Preferred weapon(s): he uses the same weapons as Laurence does but if he gets pissed of enough he switches to his demon arts which I will not go into here as the list is huge. Most of them involve destruction of the area around him leaving allies unharmed.
Anything else of note: Nothing to be seen here, ef off. -Z;
Ugh he does that. Tends to swear alot so try not to get offended that will just egg him on. -Laurence B.
Ah, shut up you. -Z;
-
Ray shrugged. "I don't know....I'm still trying to figure out how you beat a demon that controls everything..."
The DJ snapped, the music kicked on, and the tiles began to change color to the beat of the music, always staying opposite color to their adjacent partner.
-
Raz slammed his sword on the ground repeatedly, and the floor turned to normal concrete again and the music sounded waved each time he hit it on the ground, "Well, this seems to work."
-
After a while, Raz's attempts reaped lesser and lesser rewards, until they bore no change to the floor. The DJ shook his head, and smiled. "No no no, gotta play m'game iff'n you wanna win, bucko."
Ray took a few steps forward, moving to the beat of the music.
-
Raz replaces his sword onto his back then looks around the room and sees a keyboard and synthesizer, "I have an idea.", walks over to a keyboard and synthesizer, turns them on and they come to life with a bright flash of light (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/a3/d8/9b/a3d89b431781662f8410cbbdc76b04ee.jpg), "Sweet~", sits down and plays a chord and the reality around them seemed to shift.
-
"Heh... so you like to dance, huh darling?" The leather figure suddenly made herself visible, in place beside Raz and Ray and standing in what would have been a rather provocative manner, if she had been an actual being instead of a suit of full-body leather armor. "I must admit, it's been a while, but I'd be willing to give it a shot... What's your game?"
-
The DJ's brow furrowed, and he leaned over the turntable. "What're you playing at, boy?! Do NOT touch my equipment. It's special." He snapped, and several of the crowd jumped onto the field.
The sudden approach of the party-goers startled Ray, who stumbled into an off-beat step, and was viciously assaulted with spikes from the floor below.
-
Raz began to play a song (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xLvTtHkFmKw) and the same amount of party - goers jumped on to face the others that jumped on, their eyes glowing blue, "I'm fighting fire with fire, 'Boy'.", the blue eyed party - goers smiled at Ray and began to show him the steps.
-
Meanwhile, the female voice, in the leather-suited armor, was making decent headway with the dance, remaining right on step. "Is that all you've got, precious?" the voice said, miming blowing a kiss to the DJ.
-
((I don't know if I just jump in or not))
-
(Might be good to ask Ray...?)
-
((Go ahead, friend!))
The DJ shook with rage, and pounded the turntable. "That's it! Y'all're dead!" He leapt from the stage, and landed on the dance floor. "C'mon! Let's dance!" His statement was punctuated with a vicious swipe of a mic stand, clearing every party-goer from the floor.
-
The female voice chuckled, then suddenly pulled out a pair of long, sharp looking knives. "Come and get it, silly," she said, assuming a battle stance.
-
Meanwhile, I'm walking by the building hearing the music stop abruptly and I think to myself 'hmm odd, the music here never stops like that here. something doesn't feel right...' I pull out my katana, preparing for any combat I may come against as I walk in seeing the place looks more dilapidated than usual. 'something must've happened here. Don't know what but I feel various energies throughout the building two of them are powerful while the rest are weak, must be humans here, gotta keep my guard up.' as I walk down the hall I can hear clanging noise from further down and I start running towards the sound arriving in the main party room seeing people on the side most of them knocked out but alive. I stand there in the shadows, unnoticed by the two combatants in the center of the room, katana still in my hand.
-
The DJ seemed to glide around the field, holding the mic-stand out like a rapier. The base of the stand fell off, revealing a very nasty-looking serrated blade. The DJ lashed out at the leather-armor, swiping rapidly. Meanwhile, the music from his side had kicked back up, a shadow of the DJ manning the turntable.
-
I sit on the ground watching the DJ's movements, studying his style in case I need to step in. My katana is in my lap glowing slightly multicolor as I determine an energy weakness. You both see it but ignore it as it has no impact on the fight itself. I stand back up readying my rifle in case I need it loading it with .223 caliber armor piercing hollow points making a loud kerchunck noise as I cock it cringing at the noise as I don't want to drag myself into battle yet.
-
Raz played another chord and the piano turned into a mech suit, "Let's dance, demon!"
-
The DJ's bones creaked and groaned, until he matched Raz's height. He looked the mech up and down, and started chuckling to himself.
The shadow at the turntable pumped up the jam, and the floor began to break apart, leaving pitfalls to the void below.
-
I jump onto the rafters so I don't fall into the floor and aim my rifle down at the DJ awaiting orders to fire. Raz can see me from the corner of his eye and remembers that I'm there for later.
-
The mech followed each of Raz's moves and as he pulled out his sword while in the mech, a bright light surrounded the mech and mechanical Angelic wings jutted out of it's back and it began to hover, easily avoiding the pits. Raz then lunged at the demon, and another song began to play (http://www.google.ca/url?q=http://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DIQBqSt15Vi0&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwiRiLySgPPMAhVk04MKHWXSAxYQ3ywIGzAA&sig2=geHWkOEKiD1J9OalFKr5-A&usg=AFQjCNFSFzinABpVHyI3TMbzica1fOTEsg)
-
The DJ dodged, and smirked. "Oh, poor Tin-man." He made a swiping motion, and Raz's heart appeared in his clawed hand. "If you only had a heart." The DJ chuckled, and began to close his hand around the organ.
A few party-goers were climbing the rafters, trying to get at Laurence.
Ray started to stand back up, after recovering from his wounds.
-
"what the hell?! Where did they come from?!" I say to myself as I zap them with shadow energy hoping to get them off trying not to kill them outright. But there are too many and I have to jump somewhere else on the rafters making a loud clang as I land. "Shit they most likely heard me." I quickly pull out my katana and head for the nearby cat walk.
-
The DJ dodged, and smirked. "Oh, poor Tin-man." He made a swiping motion, and Raz's heart appeared in his clawed hand. "If you only had a heart." The DJ chuckled, and began to close his hand around the organ.
A few party-goers were climbing the rafters, trying to get at Laurence.
Ray started to stand back up, after recovering from his wounds.
Suddenly, Raz's heart was swiped from the DJ's hand and disappeared. "If only you had a brain, silly," the female voice said, suddenly appearing to be everywhere at once. "So... do you take requests?" With Raz's heart nowhere to be seen, all of the figures' hands suddenly began flaming. Meanwhile, ice was creeping across the dance floor. "How about 'Fire and Ice'?!"
-
"well that's a surprise." I say as I infuse my katana with kinetic energy and begin swiping at the figures, sending them flying across the room as I have determined that these are just entities created by the DJ.
-
An unseen force kept catching said figures.

"damn. Must be the DJ's work. Might have to take him out. I just need a spot where I can aim better." I say as I watch the figures slow down and stop halfway through. I then jump up higher in the rafters and quickly aim for the DJ's head, loading it with blessed ammo hoping to either kill or at least harm him. I then fire my rifle down range filling the top of the room with smoke and makes a loud bang sound as I fire. "Shit forgot to put on the silencer again." I mumble to myself as I retrieve the silencer from my pack.
-
The mech was suddenly engulfed in flames and as was the heart, but in a blue flame, soon after the whole mech was covered in the same blue flame, and 2 symbols formed on the hands and as Raz hit them, the figures would stutter and would briefly come to their senses, "U-uh guys? I'm not doing this.", tendrils inside the mech attached to the stone in Raz's chest and he heard in his mind a female voice, "I'm doing this...", the mech reshaped into a female figure and began to move at an immense speed and the symbols became edged with razor sharp blades.
(Ray, if it serves your fancy, you can have the DJ refer to the blue flames as Vivian, just to make sense of things.)
-
The DJ leapt back onto the stage, leaping over the leather-figures. He began playing a very strange tune, mirroring notes across the synthesizer. Though weaker, copies of everyone on or near the dance floor.
Ray blinked, as he stared at his mirror image.
-
Raz just stood there, staring at his reflection, it looked like a bag of bones, "Can you understand me?", it replied with a distorted, "Run...", Raz shook his head "No, I won't, I will honor my sensei's dying wish and not give up on easy terms.", the mirrored shadow seemed to smile and they both just stared at each other.
-
The leather people facepalmed. "Great, another multi-brained psychopath," she muttered. "I can still hear you," Zephyr's voice said. Strangely enough, there were plenty of copies of the leather people, but no copies of Zephyr.
One leather person reached out to touch the copy.
-
A guitar materialized in front of the mech and the shadow bowed and turned into a beast to rival the mech, "Let's play, demon.", the shadow replied distorted, "...Gladly...", They both began to play, starting with the battle of the banjos, then through the fire and flames, then flight of the bumblebees, Raz clearly beating his shadow, "Give up and leave.", the shadow lowered it's head and continued to play, black water tears falling from its face.
-
The copy's reply to the touch was a simple, full-force punch to the facial region.
The DJ, furious with the leather people, leapt down, his spindly long legs slamming against the dance floor. A sweeping strike with his long arm began to tear it's way toward the leather people, mimic or not.
Ray began to shoot at his copy, but all was accomplished was smashed bullets clattering against the floor,, as the mimic copied his moves exactly.
-
The leather people seemed to be struck by the attack, but simply reformed. "That all you got, sweetie?" they all said, suddenly tnrowing fireballs in the DJ's direction.
The entire room, to the DJ, was now covered in ice.
-
The DJ stumbled backwards from the fiery onslaught, but seemed unfazed by the ice.
-
Somehow, Raz's shadow figure froze too and it fell, broke, and vanished.
Raz directed his attention to the DJ again and he began run at it with his mech sword drawn
-
After some time, Ibi entered the club, a little confused. "What's going on guys?"
-
The DJ moved faster than any mortal or even lesser demon could perceive. He countered Raz, now Vivian's, charge with a stiff boot to the chest, then caught the mech's foot as it started backwards, and slammed the metal-man into the dance floor. "I just wanted to party! S'at too much to ask?! Satan's sweet love you guys are party poopers!" A swift kick sent the mech skittering across the dance hall, a little more than beaten up.
Ray had, after a few moments, run out of ammo. With his revolver dry, he began to back up, his clone advancing.
A shot rang out from the rafters, the bullet ripping past Laurence. His doppelganger sat perched in the rafters, cackling as he bolted another shell.
A horde of twenty party-goers seemed to melt from the shadows, and approached the fire-ball lobbing leather armor suits.
As Ibi entered the fray, from their perception, the door way broke away, and flew into the void. Ibi's clone stepped from the opposite end of the hall, and waited for Ibi to attack.
-
There was something about the clone that seemed off, but Ibi stood warily, his paw hovering over his katana.
"Guys, why am I already here?"
-
Ray turned his head slightly, and spoke. "Clones!"
The false-Ibi charged, katana in paw. His face, however, was calm.
-
The mech almost slid right into Ibi, bit it thwn dug a hand into the dance floor and began to break dance then it threw itself up and landed on its feet, then the mech began to clap and cause the music to become distorted and lasers shot out at the DJ.
-
Face just as calm, the real Ibi parried the swing that the clone made. He took a defensive stance as the clone attacked him at near blinding speed. Neither him nor his clone tired easily, so the battle was long and fast.
"What's with this guys? Really not finding this fun anymore!" He yelled across the club as he narrowly dodged a swing aimed at his neck.
-
The DJ dodged each shot like an oily snake, sending his own projectiles in return.
Ray spoke again, dodging a punch thrown by his clone. "I don't know!"
-
Another shot rings out from the rafters as I quickly take out the clone near me only for another one to take his place. "Damn. How many of these things are there?" I yell. I then aim at the main demon on the now destroyed dance floor and fire at his head hearing the bullet hit but he doesn't fall dead and instead looks at me as I quickly disappear from his sight. "Shit. I was seen, might have to have zet take over." I say to myself. 'yes. Do it, let me take over and I can handle these chumps' zets voice rings out in my head. 'not yet, need to find a good spot to hide so we can switch.' I tell him. All of the sudden I am hit by a bullet from the rafters and land hard in front of the main demon. "Shit. I'm dead aren't i?" I think to myself.
-
"Not yet, laddie." Suddenly, the ice created a protective bubble around Laurence and his weapons and quickly dragged him away from the demon to safety.
"Hmm... Don't like to play with fire, huh sweetie?" the leather figures said, drawing flaming knives and engaging the shadow creatures. Meanwhile, some of the other figures continued aiming fireballs at the DJ.
Zephyr might be there, or he might not. Who knows.
-
I lay in the ice bubble assesssing my wound and quickly pulling out the bullet much to my surprise at how easy it was to remove considering it looked to be barbed so as to cause maximum damage and disable my arm. I pull out a vial and apply the liquid in it to my arm and I sigh as my wound slowly closes. I try to move my arm and find out that I can't, "shit. Seems that bullet had some other cause than to temporarily take me out. Seems the one who fired it wanted to keep me out of it. Oh well I've got an antidote somewhere in my pack" I reach over to get my pack and find that I don't have it on me as its still in the rafters thankfully hidden so no one could find it. "Well. Seems I can't fight now. I can't fire my rifle with out both hands and my katana is near my pack as I left it there in case I came back to that spot" I try to move my arm again and I still can't and my other arm seems to have gone numb. "Shit the toxin is spreading, if I don't stop it now the paralysis will spread all over my body and kill me fortunately it seems zet is slowing it's progress through my body so I have quite a lot of time left" I slowly get up and hide my self in a dark corner watching the fight hoping that it ends quickly so I can get the antidote from my pack.
-
Unfortunately for the clone, Ibi knew all of its weaknesses. Unfortunately for Ibi, the clone knew all of his weaknesses too. Both of them ended up slamming their katanas together wth a loud <CLANG> before they fell to the floor. From then on, it was a fist fight and Ibi knew it was going to be a while before anything conclusive happened.

Raz walked over to Ibi and his clone and he slammed a Mech foot down on the clone, then he gave a thumbs up to Ibi and a hand gesture to come help.
-
"You know, I'm getting REAL tired of this charade, sweetie!" the female voice said, launching more and more fireballs.
There was a sound as though someone had beaten their clone.
There suddenly appeared to be someone searching the rafters.
-
Suddenly, everything stopped. It all froze, like time ceased moving. A phone rang, and the DJ reached into his pocket. "Yeallo? ...Yeah, the agents are here. ...Oh? Everything's set? Great!" He closed his phone, changed back to normal, and waved at the agents. "Well, that was fun, but my job's done." He chuckled, and started towards the door, as everything returned to normal. "I'll see you all later."
-
The mech disappeared and Raz fell and a blue flame in the form of some type of bird, gave Raz a small kiss on his muzzle and it went into his stone, it glowing slightly brighter. Raz then looked around the room to see all of the patrons spurred on the floor, unconscious, as Raz went to get up, he winced and grabbed his side, seeing some blood dripping from it, and on closer examination he saw a black piece of metal jutting out of his side, he looked at Ray with a blank face and he began to fall, his face pale.
-
I had finnaly reached the rafters after sneaking my way painfully over to my pack and had given myself the antidote for my paralysis. I also see raz fall to the floor and grab my medkit from my pack as well and head to him. I can see the Shard of metal sticking from his side, so I remove it closing the wound with my suturing. I also pull out a vial labelled 'blood booster V2' and inject it into raz's arm seeing his face turn back to its normal color slowly. I then pick up raz's unconscious form albeit with some grunting as I leave the area and head back to base, hoping not to get ambushed while raz is out considering I would have no where to put him down if I was. As I leave though I feel as I'm being watched from across the room and swear that I could hear slight chuckling. I
-
Ray shook his head, as his radio started blaring. "Agents! Where are you!?" Ronnie's tone was hardly calm, as he practically crushed the comms-equipment in his paw. "You've been gone for days! For God's sake, we need you!"
Outside the building, team Hook were outside, all forty agents plus their four heavily armed transports, creating a perimeter around the club. It had been three days since anyone heard anything from the agents. Their fight with the DJ had apparently been something more, as the DJ wasn't to do anything but keep them there.
~In a desert somewhere.
Huge obsidian blocks were being pulled into position by hundreds of lost souls, slaves to the Council of Demons. Korg'ath, Eater of Men and Slayer of Angels, Master of the Flayed, sat in a throne made from the bones of fallen foes, as he watched the slaves stack blocks atop blocks, in attempt to create a channeling obelisk to summon his own army to the mortal realm. These 'Flayed' are horrifying abominations cobbled together from the very meat of sinners, and relish in their practices. Instead of mindless slaughter, these creatures skin whatever and whoever they can get their bladed claws on, and wear the obtained flesh in terrifying mockery of the living, and their victims swell their ranks. They are the immortal, creeping, consuming tide, bent on devouring all living things.
-
As I walk out of the building I see everyone around me and I quickly raise my hands but relaxing after seeing its friendlies. I look aroind at them looking confused, "huh? Why are you here? I never requested back up. Did something happen? Also can one of you bring over a stretcher for Raz here. I don't think I can carry him any longer, feels like I haven't eaten in days. On second thought, make that two stretchers." I pass out on the concrete from exhaustion.
-
The medical teams set to work, getting both Laurence and Raz on stretchers.
-
Ibi looked around, there was something about this club that seemed familiar, but he couldn't quite pick what it was. It was like he'd been there before. He walked out and set off towards the hotel again.
-
I wake up about 6 hours later in the medical bay at base. As I try to sit up someone pushes me back down and says something but I cant understand what they said. I try to get a look at then but can't as my vision is blury as hell so I just lie back down and rest.
-
A couple of doctors brought in a rolling bed next to Raz and Laurence's beds, and they lifted Raz's still unconscious body onto it and rolled him behind a blurry layered glass door, and some form of arms lowered from the ceiling and lifted up Raz, the bed descending into the floor, the doctors then stripped Raz of his clothing and threw it off to the side, then a 5th arm comes down and moves towards Raz's dimly glowing chest stone, latching onto it, then a red light flashes, Raz's body twitches and he screamed, his wounds lighting up with the same red light, as they are repaired, and as the wounds become no longer visible, Raz's grunts of pain and rare sounds of popping and bonebreaking sounds, fill the Medical bay silence, sounding as though it were recordings straight from a horror movie, one doctor leaving to go work on something else.
(Raz speaks first, then the doctor) Raz raises his head and looks at one of the doctors, "H-Haswell? Would you please stop following me...", Dr. Haswell spoke in a loose German accent, "You know I can't do that, Mr. Dracon, and I'm aware Vivian has awoken again, and if she hadn't, then we wouldn't have the pleasure of speaking again.", "Oh shut it, would you, I would've made a full reco-", "A full recovery in too late, right next to not soon enough, well, that's why I had to utilize this thing again, luckily this reality had one, otherwise I would've had to transport you again. Just listen Mr. Dracon, you've been chasing these stupid demons for too long, the big man upstairs has already forgiven you for your actions of the pas-", "And that still won't bring my wife, his daughter, back!... That's why I won't stop yet... not until every reality is safe from these demons... so that I may fulfill her dying wish...", Dr. Haswell put a hand on Raz's shoulder, "She's not de-", "Just. Leave.", Dr. Haswell took his hand off Raz's shoulder and began to make his way out of that room, the mechanical arms going back to fixing Raz.
(If anyone likes, you can have your character walk into the Medical Bay and hear this stuff, and stop Dr. Haswell as he is leaving Raz)
-
Suddenly, a light blue sword blocked Dr. Haswell's path. "Leaving so soon?" Zephyr said, seeming to have appeared from nowhere.
-
I wake up again after falling asleep a couple hours earlier and see you holding your sword up to Dr. Haswell. "Da hell are you doing? And wheres raz? He was here an hour ago." I ask zephyr.
-
Dr. Haswell puts a hand around the sword and the reality fizzles around it and it phases through Zephry's hand and falls to the ground, and then pushes his glasses back up with a finger, "I must ask you not to try and hurt me, I'm the only one that can keep that dragon from dying.", he then looks over at Laurence, "He's fine, I just put him in that room behind me, but for me to explain it in full... well, your life would most likely end by the time I finish... if you'd like to know more, you can find me in the office down the hall, in the only glowing door.", he then pushes Zephyr aside and walked out to the office.
The door into the room that Raz is in, was slightly ajar, and Raz layed suspended in the air whilst mechanical arms pump what seems to be magma into his chest stone, a light resonating from him, muttering 'Angel' as he slept.
-
When the team returned, Ronnie pulled Ray aside, and got the details of what happened. Ray, after a few minutes, returned to the medical room to treat his wounds.
-
As Dr. Haswell walked out and into the hallway, he bumped into Ray, almost knocking him over but grabbed him and stood him upright again, "Sorry about that. You might want to visit your dragon friend.", he gently patted on Ray's shoulder and he turned around a corner further down the hallway into a blue illuminated door, closing it behind him.
-
After thinking about it I get up and head down the hall looking for the glowing door wondering how exactly he made zephyrs sword just pass through him and about his history with Raz. When I reach the door I take out a tiny vial 'tempory immortality (duration: depends on current time flow)' I mumble to myself "this thing took for ever to make and I only made enough to make it temporary and it's my only one" I drink it and shake at the taste, I then enter the door seeing haswell at his desk. " Dr. Haswell. I heard I could get more information on Raz's situation if I came here. I actually would like to know as much as you can give me."
-
Dr. Haswell sat back in his chair, "Well, Razuel isn't from your world or dimension for that matter, he exists outside them all, but still ages, his stone provides him power, but requires a recharge every now and then, and I'm the one that looks after him, his 'guardian angel' if you will... anything else you'd like to know or state?", Dr. Haswell replied in a slightly annoyed tone
-
I pick up on the tone of his voice and start to head for the door. "No. I'm sorry for wasting your time. But thank you for the information." I leave the room and head down the hall and I swear I can feel like I'm being watched as I enter my room. "Who ever there better reveal themselves unless you want to end up like the last person who followed me." I say out into the air.
-
Ibi sat on top of the building, legs hanging over the side. He looked out over the combat-filled landscape and sighed to himself.
-
Dr. Haswell puts a hand around the sword and the reality fizzles around it and it phases through Zephry's hand and falls to the ground, and then pushes his glasses back up with a finger, "I must ask you not to try and hurt me, I'm the only one that can keep that dragon from dying.", he then looks over at Laurence, "He's fine, I just put him in that room behind me, but for me to explain it in full... well, your life would most likely end by the time I finish... if you'd like to know more, you can find me in the office down the hall, in the only glowing door.", he then pushes Zephyr aside and walked out to the office.
The door into the room that Raz is in, was slightly ajar, and Raz layed suspended in the air whilst mechanical arms pump what seems to be magma into his chest stone, a light resonating from him, muttering 'Angel' as he slept.
"However, angel," Zephyr said, seeming to appear before Haswell. "I might have a few more questions.... first of all. How did you like that illusion earlier?"
-
Dr. Haswell squinted at her and gave Zephyr a scowl, "I'm busy right now, can this wait?"
-
The office was bustling with medical personnel running from room to room, treating the wounded.
Ronnie was pacing his office, panicking slightly. "If the Master of All Things was involved...and the crew were gone for three days..."
-
I wake up in my room the next morning and I walk out almost getting bowled over by someone in a rush. "Whys the office in such a rush this morning" I say to myself while yawning, "well I might as well as head to the cafeteria." I quickly head back inside and get dressed and come back out, making my way to the cafeteria.
-
Ibi headed down to the ground floor, and put the front door. He knew what he needed to do and he knew how to get it done. He wouldn't let anyone stop him as he opened the doors, allowing "fresh" air into the foyer. He walked out slowly, looking for his most difficult battle yet.
-
Zephyr shrugged. "It depends on if you really are busy or not, I suppose," he said, pacing casually. "It's rather convenient that you happen to work at the exact hospital where Razuel shows up at..." The cat glanced over his shoulder nonchalantly. "Of course, if I bothered to look, I'd find all sorts of records proving that you work here, but that's normal, isn't it? Angels falsifying identification to do what they need to. Just like the more cultured demons." Sighing, Zephyr took a seat across from Haswell. "Anyway... How's Heaven?" he asked. "I suppose I'm still banned?"
-
Dr.Haswell sat back in his chair and fiddled with a little metal box, "Wouldn't know, and I'm not a demon either, I'm what you people say as a Limbo Keeper, sort of like the boat man, but I'm one if the beings that is assigned by God, to look after an amount of people, and Razuel is the last one, and since he has saved my life, or what you'd consider to be life, many times, and for that I am in his debt, and I have decided to help him with his goal, his wife's dying wish. Now, I ask you to not bring this subject up with him, you'll only find an emotional wreck... any other questions? I am busy.", he continued to fiddle with the box, it lighting up every now and then with each tap on it.
-
Zephyr nodded. "Yes... What's the box for?" he asked.
-
Ronnie sat in the main foyer, patiently waiting for Valentine to return. She was 'soul-walking', which allowed her to walk the Earth in a matter of moments. "If the Master of All Things has been awoken, there HAS to be some plan in the works," the old raccoon said to himself, "but what?"
-
He continued to fiddle with it, "It's what I use to submit my reports, also it's what I'm using to control that machine that's repairing Razuel... anything else?"
-
Zephyr thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Nothing comes to mind," he said, standing up. "Though... is there anything that we should be watching for with Razuel? Any issues that may pop up?"
-
"He should be fine, but keep an eye out a blue fire that ignites from him, it's nothing bad, but the fire will expand if he becomes furious, and if that happens, you need to lull him to become calm.", he then returns back to his work, fidgeting with the box
-
Zephyr nodded once. "Alright... Is there a way to contact you if I need to?"
-
"I'll come if Raz is in danger. Oh, and if you see a large gaseous being of grey matter, don't attack it, I wouldn't want to hurt you. Now go on, I really need to concentrate now."
-
Ronnie ran out of his office, obviously distressed. He grabbed the PA, and barked orders. "All Agents, prepare for international travel. You're goin' to Egypt. There's something that must be stopped; the demons are erecting a summoning obelisk."
-
Dr.Haswell tensed up and his hands began to move so fast that they were a blur and almost invisible, "Sorry, Raz, but there's no more sugar coating.".
Down the hallway in the medical bay, inside the room Raz was brig patched up in, the mechanical arms moved fast but with extreme precision and the speed of them caused Raz pain and him to scream out, so loud that it rung all of the way to Haswell's office, but sounded faint.
-
Ibi returned with their own blade sticking through his shoulder, heaving and limping. It was clear that he had been outmatched at his last battle.
-
Laurence immediately grabs his gear and heads to the briefing room. As he walks there various clinking noises can be heard from his pack
-
Zephyr nodded and, leaving Haswell to his work, left the room silently, pulling his hat out of his coat and putting it on.
-
The mechanical arms lowered Raz onto a grate, detached the pumps from him, and hosed him down and Haswell walked through the door of the chamber, "Feel, ack... better?...", Raz grabbed Haswell by the throat and held him off the ground, "Haswell... I would kill you, and you know I can-", "Please don't.", "but I won't because you restored my powers and brought back Vivian.", Raz put Haswell down and let go of him, "Now... Could you give me my clothing? I'd rather not be nude fighting.", Haswell handed Raz his clothing and assisted it onto him, "Thank you. So, what now?", "You have a new mission, so head to the briefing room.", Raz nodded and they hugged each other, Haswell then stepped back, saluted thwn disappeared in a puff of grey smoke.
Raz then made his way to the briefing room to await orders, a blue flame hanging between his 2 horns on his head.
-
Ronnie was scrambling; the summoning obelisk was one of many ways to get more powerful demons onto the mortal plane. And what was worse was that, if completed, the obelisk would remain for all eternity. There used to be mages, in Ancient Egypt, that knew how to de-activate these structures, but the scripts for those spells were lost. Ronnie sighed, and crushed the stress ball he held.
-
A puff of grey smoke swirled beside Ronnie and materialized into Dr. Haswell, "Anyway I can help?"
-
Lying on the floor, in a pool of his own blood, Ibi groaned in pain. He knew that he wasn't about to die, but it still really hurt. He tried to pull out the blade, but he found himself unable.
"C-can I get a little help please?" He called out from the lobby.
-
Raz heard the plea for help and he ran out with a first aid kit, "Oh jeeze, do you know where exactly or what exactly it's penetrating in your body? It'd really help when I go to take the thing out."
-
"It's my own katana, in my shoulder. I can't say much else because I don't know. Haven't been able to feel my arm for a while though." Ibi said. He would have shrugged, but he knew it would only cause more damage.
-
Zephyr, walking by, noticed that Ibi needed assistance and decided to help as well. "Drink this," he said, offering Ibi a weird-smelling potion. "It'll slow the bleeding so that he can fix you up without worrying about you bleeding out... and don't worry, it tastes better than it smells."
-
Raz used a few tools in the kit to keep the wound open and as he did so, he grabbed the katana piece and slowly took it out, as slow and as painless as possible, "Alright, almost there."
-
Ibi groaned as the blade slid out of his shoulder. Drinking the strange potion, he shuddered as his blood thickened. Sure enough, the bleeding slowed, but so did the rest of his body. His mind went cloudy as his head began to spin.
"Whuuh in daaa..." He slurred as he rolled onto his back, looking at the cieling. "Oooh... pretty liiight..."
It was very clear that there was something in the potion that had made him incredibly high.
-
Zephyr blinked. "Well, that doesn't usually happen," he murmured. "Must be a species thing, lad," the Scottish voice said.
-
Raz got to the last bit and pulled it out, "Wow, quite the along blade, anyways, time for to stitch you up.", Raz removed the tools that kept the wound open and he disinfected the wound then proceeded to stitching it, "Hey, Zephyr? What's that liquid you gave him called?", a haze of grey smoke swirled in and formed Dr. Haswell beside Raz to which he pushed Raz out of the way and continued the stitching, "Ugh, you're doing it wrong.", Raz stepped back and let the doctor continue.
-
Ray, after experimenting in the firing range, found that he could fire his revolver without holding it. The weapon floated nearby, seeming to strike it's own targets.
-
Zephyr shrugged. "I haven't named it yet, it's one of my own concoctions," he said. "I didn't put anything hallucinogenic in there, though... Did either of you?" "No," said the Scottish voice. "No... but perhaps something in there may be affecting Ibi specifically," the female voice said.
-
Numb and unaware of everything going on around him, Ibi tried to reach up to the 'pretty light' that he'd seen. Only issue was, he had tried to use his injured arm. When he found he could move it, a look of terror washed over his face.
"M-muh... muh aarrrrm."
-
Zephyr bit his lip and quickly crouched down next to Ibi. "There there, everything's fine," he said, gently patting Ibi's head awkwardly.
-
Ibi saw Zephyr but didn't recognise him - the potion had affected his mind too much. He stayed silent, wide eyed and trembling with terror.
"Y-you.... t-there... friends..."
-
Ibi saw Zephyr but didn't recognise him - the potion had affected his mind too much. He stayed silent, wide eyed and trembling with terror.
"Y-you.... t-there... friends..."
Zephyr smiled calmly and nodded. "Yes... friends," he said. "You're alright, okay? You're safe."
-
Ibi thrashed, terrified. His hallucinations had taken on a dark turn, and he was remembering his first company. He looked at Zephyr and his mind told him that he was the one who destroyed the company.
-
Ibi thrashed, terrified. His hallucinations had taken on a dark turn, and he was remembering his first company. He looked at Zephyr and his mind told him that he was the one who destroyed the company.
(Wow, deja vu to the first successful RP Zephyr was in where someone mistook him for someone who ruined their life during a hallucination.)
(True story.)
Zephyr tried to keep Ibi calm. "... I don't think it's working, laddie," the Scottish voice said.
-
The cloud in Ibi's mind cleared slowly as he calmed, relaxing and breathing slowly. "Man... what did you stick in that potion?"
-
The cloud in Ibi's mind cleared slowly as he calmed, relaxing and breathing slowly. "Man... what did you stick in that potion?"
Zephyr shrugged. "A mixture of magic herbs and natural herbs," he said. "I can't really say since it's a secret until I figure out what to call the mixture, but... well, it's never had that affect when I've used it."
-
"Could've been a magic herb then." Ibi said. "We can check out the recipe later"
-
Zephyr nodded. "Deal," he said. "How do you feel?"
-
"Better." Ibi said, sitting up. "My shoulder doesn't hurt any more."
Sure enough, their shoulder had almost completely healed. A possible side-effect of his transformations and the potion.
-
Raz took the bottle that was sitting on the ground and he took a sip of what was left in it, "Hmm, no wonder she had hallucinations, this stuff Draconian Ale, or at least tastes like it, but you put too much magic in it and not enough normal herbs in, remember, you have to account for who you'll be using it on.", the doctor stood up and looked at Ibi, "Next time sir, I'd recommend a less painful insertion of iron to your blood stream.", and then puffed away is a puff of grey smoke, "...just saying~", "Cheeky ass bugger, anyway, the doctor means well, he's just, very sarcastic."
-
"Better." Ibi said, sitting up. "My shoulder doesn't hurt any more."
Sure enough, their shoulder had almost completely healed. A possible side-effect of his transformations and the potion.
(Raz, I think you meant for Haswell to say the stuff about Draconian ale. @-@)
Zephyr blinked and sniffed the potion. "... Huh," he said. "Come to think of it, I did think that I added a bit too much magic." He shrugged. "Well, it's liable to happen when you test out new recipes."
-
Ibi sighed. "Well, at least it helped fix me. Now, what is everyone doing? I heard a loudspeaker mention 'Egypt'."
-
Zephyr shrugged. "Oh, the usual," the female voice said. "Evil's trying to open a permanent portal to all hell and we have to stop them. You ready?"
-
(Nah, Raz said the draconian ale stuff)
-
"Well, technically I was never hired... but I'll come along anyway. You guys will need me." Ibi chuckled, standing up slowly.
-
"Correct," Zephyr said, putting his hat on. "Now let's get out of here and go **** Egypt up," the female voice said. Zephyr blushed furiously. "Uh... sorry."
-
Ibi laughed. "You're funny, I like you." Sheathing his katana, he patted Zephyr's back twice before heading out the door.
-
Zephyr watched Ibi walk for a moment, then smiled and followed after the other person, feeling rather happy.
-
Outside the office, a huge black van waited patiently, the engine purring quietly. The windows were dark, obscuring all who may be inside.
Ray was dragging large black cases towards the van, beginning to load the company's cargo.
-
Zephyr continued to walk along behind Ibi, he and his associates having a silent conversation within his mind.
-
Raz walked out behind them, "So, where is our objective? Egypt? Did I hear correctly?"
-
"Apparently..." Ibi said, watching Ray load the van. "The airport's been closed for weeks though... Don't know how we're planning to get there."
-
"Private jet," Ray said, as he threw in the last case. "We'll be met by one of Ronnie's jets at the airport."
-
"But there are planes everywhere..." Ibi said. "Some crashed on the runways when the demons came here."
-
"Well, I can carry two people at once while flying, more if I overload my body."
-
Ray shook his head. "It's a VTOL, so it lands like a helicopter."
-
"And we have the fuel for this? Won't we run out?" Ibi asked. They weren't a fan of flight...
-
Ray nodded. "Well, yes. They'll land and refuel it."
-
Fidgeting a bit, Ibi stood next to the van. "Are you sure there isn't any other way?"
-
Ray shook his head. "Taking the van's too slow, and there's no road to get there. We've got to take the plane."
-
As Ibi got in the van, he could clearly be heard psyching himself up.
"Come on... you've survived worse... you can fly in a plane for a few thousand kays..."
-
Ray started his way towards the front seat, as it had no driverside door, and patted Ibi on the head as he passed. "Nut up, cowboy. The skies won't be friendly." Ray chuckled, and took his seat. "Buckle up, everyone! We aren't takin' the slow road."
-
Eyes wide, Ibi sat paralysed in his seat, clinging to his seatbelt so hard his knuckles cracked.
-
Ray turned the rearview to Ibi, and smiled. "Afraid of heights?"
-
Zephyr buckled his seatbelt, tucking his hat into a random pocket of his jacket.
-
Raz still stood outside the plane and he yelled to Ray, "Wanna have a race? If not, I bet I can beat you to the destination anyway."
-
"It's not a race, laddie," the Scottish voice said. "If you think it is, then you shouldn't be coming." "Be nice," Zephyr murmured.
-
"I don't think of it as a game, but rather to test my own speed and endurance.", Raz attached a glowing ring to both of his wings and the blue flame that hung between his horns went to his wings and covered them
-
Zephyr sighed. "He was joking," he said, sitting back and gettign some rest. "Wake me when you're all there."
-
Ray turned, and looked at his passengers, and grinned. "We all settled in. Missing anybody?"
-
"Nah, you got everyone. I'll fly beside you incase there's some problems... if not, then I'll just fly ahead and meet you there.", Raz gave his wings a couple flaps, dust kicking up beneath him from the 2 flaps
-
Ray nodded, and turned his eyes back to the road. "Hold onto your hats." He revved the engine and after a few moments the black van took off, speeding down the road towards the airport.
-
Raz waited a few seconds until the van was almost out of view, he then did a couching stance, pounced and flapped his wings once and he broke the sound barrier just a few minutes from the base and in an almost split second, had now gotten to beside the van, doing tiny flaps to keep himself afloat in the air.
-
It took a few minutes for Ibi to relax, his paws ending up in his lap. He looked outside as the van raced to the airport, dread pooling in his stomach.
-
Raz took his eyes off of what was in front of him and tapped on the window next to Ibi, "You'll be fine, don't wor-OOF!", it was a particularly bad idea to take his eyes off of what was in front of him and he crashed through 3 telephone pols before stopping at the 4th. Raz then sat up and rubbed his head, "Well, that hurt."
-

In a few moments, Ray was careening towards a bend in the road, leading directly off of a cliff to a road below. The raccoon show no signs of stopping, and actually held his tongue in between his teeth, smiling wickedly.
-
Zephyr woke up and blinked a couple times. "Er... you know you're headed off a cliff, right?" he asked Ray.
-
Raz got up and saw the van speeding towards a cliff and in a short instance, Raz blasted to the van and grabbed it's rear and planted himself on the ground to try and keep it from going any further, "Ray! Are you insane!?
-
Ibi saw where the van was headed and muttered in his seat. "This is why I hate flying... because of crazy people..."
-
*types furiously on a keyboard watching from a distance, then rolls face on keyboard* oh my god,

-
Ray chuckled, but continued on. The van soared of the cliff edge, and careened towards the road below. Ray had a look of pure glee on his face, as they descended. "Yeeaah!"
-
Dr. Haswell appeared beside Ray, "Y'know, you oughta be more considerate for your passengers.", Raz let go of the van, seeing it land safely on another road, and flew above it this time, as to not his anymore poles
-
Ray turned slightly, and glanced at the doctor. "We've got a world to save, doc. Places to be and all that."
-
"Well, that is true, but it would be ideal to keep those who will be helping you ALIVE and may I remind you that you could've killed everyone with your little stunt."
-
Ray shook his head. "We were fine, it was just a few hundred feet." He chuckled, and continued driving for a few minutes before stopping at the airport, or what was left of it. "We're here."
-
*pulls out of a white car and taps on the window* what's going on here!

-
Raz came up behind the van, "RRRRAAAYYYY!!", Dr. Haswell nodded at Ray, "Have fun defusing him~", and then puffed away in a plume of gray smoke.
Raz stood outside Ray's door, his horns ignited with a blue flame, "I NEVER want you trying that stunt again, ya hear!?!!!"
-
Ibi's face had gone pale under his fur, he clambered out of the van and ran to the nearest bush, emptying the contents of his stomach all over the leaves.
-
Ray chuckled. "Cool your horns there, turbo. We're all alive, right? Besides, you're gonna wanna keep yourself low-key," the raccoon calmly patted Raz's shoulder as he started towards one of the remaining airstrips, "demon's smell that stuff. You're more dangerous than me."
-
Ibi coughed, tasting his previous lunch mixed with bile. "Says the guy who just drove us off a cliff..."
-
Raz crossed his arms then put them back down and proceeded with Ray to the plane, "Just don't do anything like that when you have passengers, okay?", Raz then went back to Ibi and have them a small bit of a ginger root, "Here, this'll settle your stomach."
-
Zephyr climbed slowly out of the van. "Perhaps you could suggest that in a way that does not question anyone's authority," he murmured, seemingly unfazed. He looked over at the person who knocked on the window, then suddenly knocked him over the head and shouldered him. "...What the heck, man?" Zephyr said. "He's seen too much, lad," the Scottish voice replied. "...Fine," Zephyr said, walking to the plane with (guanno) over his shoulder.
-
Ibi took the root and chewed it slowly. After a minute or so, he stood up and headed over to the plane. "I might need more of that soon... I'm not a fan of air travel of any sort."
-
Walks over to a vending machine and gets a bottle of ginger ale and gives it to her, "This'll help, I put a put of the root in there aswell... welp, better get on that plane now, I'll be flying beside you guys."
-
Ray reached into his coat, withdrawing an old pilots cap. "I'll be your captain this evening." He started into the plane, whistling quietly.
-
Ibi stood next to the plane, daunted. He was completely -not- ok with flying in any form, and his brain rattled off a million things that could go wrong with the flight. He paled and froze at the door, trying not to board.

-
Zephyr just picked Ibi up and kept walking into the plane.
-
"I... I can't do this..." Ibi panicked. He clung to the door of the plane, in an effort to stay out as long as possible, but his childish grasping meant he did t have grip for long.
-
Raz walked up to Ibi, "I'll carry you if you'd like, but I'll still be flying, so, pick your choice."
-
Zephyr glanced over his shoulder. "Look at it this way... would you rather be in an airplane, or in someone's arms?" he asked.
-
Raz looks over at Zephyr, "What's that supposed to mean?", slightly offended by that comment
-
Ray, who had comfortably taken up his spot in the pilot's chair, cackled quietly as he watched the events unfold behind him. He pressed the pedals at his feet, causing the flaps on either wing to move up and down alternatively, before speaking to the group. "There's nothing to be afraid of, Ibi. More furs die in car accidents, and considering what you just lived through," the raccoon motioned to the car that now sat level to the ground, "you're chances are pretty good!"
-
Zephyr cocked an eyebrow. "Well, there's a better chance of seeing the ground from someone's arms," he said.
-
Ray sighed, loudly, and spoke up. "Are our passengers loaded in yet? Our window is closing."
-
Raz yelled up to Ray, "I'll fly beside you guys in case there are some complications.", Raz then pulled out a pair of aviator goggles and put them on.
-
Ray started the plane's engines and shouted over his shoulder. "Standing or sitting, we leave in thirty seconds." As the engines reached a crescendo, the sky began to darken, and a light drizzle began to fall.
-

Zephyr quickly dragged Ibi into the plane and buckled them and the other guy in before buckling up himself. "We seem ready," he murmured.
-
Just when you thought you all were about to take off, a portal opens over one of the empty passenger seats and a strange clockwork owl girl appears. The being sat in a rather authoritative position and glares at the rest of you.
"Pardon the sudden temporal intrusion, I mean no immediate harm to any of you." She says.
(Sorry if this is bit much. I read what was going on and couldn't think of a whole lot to do.)
-
Zephyr, having produced a book, seems rather non-plussed, but examines the owl girl for a few moments. "Do you mean any harm to demons?" he asked casually.
-
Ray started to take off and after a few moments, the plane was hovering.
-
Zephyr, having produced a book, seems rather non-plussed, but examines the owl girl for a few moments. "Do you mean any harm to demons?" he asked casually.
"Yes very much...but I am afraid I must declare that I will watching your band of hunters for now. This is an order from the high counsel of the Inevitable." The owl says.
-
Zephyr looked over his book. "The Inevitable, huh?" he said. "And who might they be?"
-
"We keep order over the entire universe including other plains of existence. While i won't bother you with too many of the details, i will tell you that one of our concerns is when there are tears in fabric of space time my division is sent in to repair them. Recently demons have been making a lot holes into the material plain in this particular area and i have been sent to investigate. From what my finding have found so far, your organization has had contact with said demons and my superiors want me to make sure you aren't making things worse." The owl says and pulls a crystal. "I will also help you with the demons but my primary goal is finding and closing the breaches these demons used to come here...and also keeping an eye on all of you."
-
Raz was flying along the outside of the plane, doing wing flaps every now and then.
Meanwhile, inside the plane, Dr. Haswell appeared in a small swirl of black smoke, resting on the ceiling of the inside cabin, "You know, if I told my dragon friend out there about your counsel, I'm not sure what he'd do, due to the fact of that your counsel nearly killed him and myself, either it've been you or another one of your people, I'm not sure how nice he'd be...", Dr. Haswell sighed and extended a hand to the soldier, "But, as I am a gentleman among beasts, I must act as such... I am Elias Haswell, Limbo Keeper... Cheesy name, but I assure you, I am neither Demon, Angel, or Mortal... I follow your kind's place in the universe... but Raz and I do it much better...", Elias said in a snarky tone, determined to make girl annoyed
-
The owl didn't even simply looks at you. Haswell would know very well inevitables lack any sort of emotion and are purely logical in their thinking.
"The only reason the council didn't have you killed is because it took up to much time and resources that needed to be devoted elsewhere. As for protecting the universe, we are far more organized in our approach. You two are just vigilantes who have no sense of prioity. " She looks outside at Raz and continues.
"You should tell your friend if I he even scratches me...your organization may have more then demons to worry about."
-
The female voice whistled. "Man, they sure know how to flaunt their dicks," she muttered through Zephyr's mouth. "Quiet, lass," the Scottish voice hissed, as Zephyr looked up at the other two on the plane.
-
Elias huffed and summoned a book, and relaxed on a chair, "Noted... Zephyr, is there anything to drink on here?"
-
The owl hands Elias a drink.
"Even if this is uncomfortable, it would be in our best interest to at least try to have some form of companionship. Even if it is only as being co-workers."
-
Elias took the drink, "I don't work for them, I just assist Raz in his travels because his wife was my step sister...", he then took a sip of the drink, "...may she rest in piece...", he then took another sip and continued to read the book, the letters in it appearing to look almost demonic, but not quite
-
"Oh is that so? Well I suppose i should at least tell you who I am. I am soldier 234, or Lotus for the sake of convenience." Lotus pulls out some bread and proceeds to eat it.
-
Elias raised his head from his book, "Lotus, huh... pretty name...", he then put his head back into his book, "You know... not everyone is devoid of feelings or emotion... I'm sure you can feel something, afterall, your existence must be boring without something to drive you, eh?", he then took another sip, "I do it to help Raz and to avenge my step sister... besides work, why do you do it..."
-
Lotus seems to try and process this question with little success.
"Because...because the council tells me to. Is there any other reason that is needed? Plus if we didn't do our job there would be no order and without order..." Lotus seems to be just repeating stuff she has been told repeatedly, like she has asked the same question multiple times.
-
Elias sighed, "The council tells you to do it and you do it, and you follow some stupid saying? You know, I used to be just like you, void of emotion, but when my overseers wanted to try something, they chose me, and they granted me someone to care about... unfortunately she was killed, but my point is, I think you need someone 'special', and when you do, tell me you true reasoning...", he then returned to his book, finishing off the drink
-
Lotus touches a few odd cogs that were built into her chest. They seemed to belong to something else and not her original body.
"Someone special...I think I had that at one point. Soldier 233 or Azuel, he always acted differently around me, even saved my life by repairing my body. He was a defect though and kept breaking the rules, but I always helped him cover it up. He was my partner...and when our partners die we are expected to operate on our own, which is why I am here alone."
-
Elias puffed away and reappeared infront of her, pressing a paw finger on one of the cogs, "Yes, they passed through my gateway years ago, and I pulled them aside due to protocol to copy down their life by having them tell their feelings, he pleaded for me to resurrect him, but I told him I couldn't due to my orders, Raz is different due to Gatekeeper code, but he did love you, he said it plainly...", Elias pulled a file out of thin air and gave it to Lotus, "... right here inside this folder. That's a copy of the original, so I suggest you keep it safe, I am only allowed to make one copy of each person that passes through my point when active.", he then removed his hand and sat Lotus down beside his seat, sitting down beside her shortly after, "Take all the time you need.... His 'love' statement is on page 162, 3rd paragraph from the bottom..."
-
Lotus stone cold expression softened as she opened the file and read every last detail out of force of habit. She read the love statement even closer though.
-
Zephyr watched on with one eyebrow cocked. "So... as long as we're sharing stories of love and all, er..." The cat looked to the ground, his face unreadable.
-
Elias looked at Lotus, "Anything wrong? It is word for word, no alterations.", he then looked back to Zephyr, dematerializing and puffing up to beside them, "Yes?"
-
She read aloud the love statement.
"To whomever reads this, deliver this message to Soldier 234 A.K.A Lotus, the greatest partner I have ever had.
Lotus if you are reading this I have passed and it is not for the reasons the council has told. They probably wrote me off as a defect who recklessly lept into danger without thinking first, when in reality they pushed me into said danger hoping I would die. Well there hopes were achieved and all because i was different, because i didn't fit in like another cog in their machine. They thought i was a heretic, that me feeling real emotions was some disease that would spread like wildfire....but the emotions I felt for you were to beautiful to be anything bad. All those times you covered for me, had my back, defied the council was because you felt the same and just couldn't say it for fear of it being discovered. However I must beg you to shout them, scream them at the council and let the whole universe know it. I want you to say the three words you have always been scared of saying..."
Lotus was quivering at this point, her gears and cogs all working out of order as she said the phrase.
"...I love you." She continues to read.
"Continue preach how you feel, how all inevitables should be allowed to feel and always remember that i love you even in death. One day we will be reunited but i beg you to finish what I started."
Lotus drops her bread and cries.
-
Elias reappeared next to Lotus and placed a paw on her back, giving it a gentle pat, "Here, does this cog look familiar?", Elias held out a dimly glowing cog to Lotus, "Your friend, Azuel, told me he wanted to give you this... but it's so small... I think it was a marriage kind of thing... like a proposal... too bad he's gone...", Elias took her hand and put the cog on it, and then closing her fingers around it, "Keep it safe, my dear, and don't lose it, I can tell that this... thing was special..."
-
"...yes you guessed right." Lotus held the ring close then looked at the crystal she used to report to the council. She crushed it in a fit of rage and tossed the Shards aside.
-
Suddenly, and without warning, the plane began to rock back and forth quickly, as Ray pressed the pedals. He cackled quietly as he went.
-
Lotus flys out of here seat and lands on Zephyr, accidentally kissing them.
-
Zephyr flushed darkly and squirmed, catching Lotus and lightly pushing her away a bit. "Er... Are you okay?" he asked. "Heh... she's a good kisser," the female voice said, making Zephyr blush further.
(Are we allowed to add other characters, or is one the limit?)
-
(I effectively erased my old one so it's up to Ray.)
Lotus gets up and starts wiping her beak, blushing furiously.
"My apologies...our pilot seems to be mad. Also I hear demons inside you...are they under control?"
-
(I effectively erased my old one so it's up to Ray.)
Lotus gets up and starts wiping her beak, blushing furiously.
"My apologies...our pilot seems to be mad. Also I hear demons inside you...are they under control?"
Zephyr, still flustered, had trouble answering. "Aye, lass," the Scottish voice said. "Hmph... I suppose you could say that," the female voice said. As the voices spoke, Zephyr's left eye turned orange and the right one turned red. However, he seemed in control of his own actions as they spoke. "... Everything's under control," he finally managed. "Though the girl can be a bit flirty." "HEY!!"
-
Raz was losing stamina quickly as the plane and himself entered a dark cloud, Elias then looked over to Raz and flicked his hand, "I think you need a break... come on in, boy...", Raz then flew through a portal from the back of the plane and crashed into the door frame of the cockpit, "Owww... I... think I'm gonna... go... nite nite...", he then dropped his head and fell asleep on the floor. Elais then yelled up to Zephyr, "Hey, Zephyr, is it? I think we oughta hurry up... these clouds aren't normal..."
-
Zephyr looked at Moka. "We should probably join them," he said, still flushing.
-
(You mean Lotus. XP)
Lotus nods and since she is anticipating danger she makes all four of her weapons appear.
"I am an abjuration specialist by the way. In other words i have strong protection magic."
-
Zephyr nodded, pulling out his weird blue grasscutter. "Good... you might need it," he said. "As for me... I have things going for me as well."
-
((You can add characters.))
Ray pulled the goggles on his hat over his eyes, and braced. "Once more unto the breach dear friends!" The plane began to rattle and creak as it flew into the cloud bank. "Once more!" Ray suddenly pulled into a nosedive, just as a massive ax cleaved the air he once occupied.
-
Dr. Elias Haswell walked up to the cockpit and stood beside Ray, a 90 degree angle from the floor, "Need any help?", standing beside them, still reading his book with somewhat demonic letters
-
Zephyr quickly grabbed onto something, noticing the ax as it went by the window. "... Forseeably," he said.
(Okay... Not sure when, but expect a new person.)
-
Ray shook his head, and pulled up a few hundred feet above the ground. He sighed and began gaining altitude, grabbing the PA and spoke calmly. "Sorry about that, passengers, just a bit of turbulence." He poked his head out the window again, and swore quietly as the ax-wielding demon prepared for another strike. "Someone get rid of that guy!"

Anything else of note:
- Brown fur
- Purple eyes
- Stab scar on upper belly *solar plexus region*
- Wears a strange bodysuit in combat; to the common bystander, it seems like she fights with her midsection exposed, but there is actually a mesh-like chainmail covering around it that is enchanted to be invisible. A stab there might bruise her, but would not penetrate her armor.
- Paints vivid pictures in her spare time.
- Able to withstand major punishment.
- Can breath in otherwise unbreathable conditions.
- Carries a lot of different gadgets just in case.
- Has a pocket dimension.
-
Lotus had been trying to focus as she began to cast a barrier around the plain.
"This barrier should hold off at least one attack, as for the giant demon." Lotus stepped through a portal that had opened and leaped out the other side, right towards one of the eyes of beast. Taking hold of her poleearms she stabbed them through it one of it's eyes.
-
(Do the characters need to be approved first?)
Zephyr, aiming to help, suddenly seemed to disappear from the plane. At the same time, icy blades seemed to slash at the demon from all sides.
-
Elias walked back into the passenger area and pulled down a storage compartment and began to take off his accessories, placing his glasses and book into it, he then looked at a vent and back at Raz still on the floor, "Keep an eye on him... I'm gonna give you guys enough time to get out of here...", he then looked at Lotus and gave a two finger salute to her before cracking his knuckles and going through the vents to out of the plane and reforming into a terrifying shadow giant (http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/monster/images/0/00/Shadow_Demon.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110830094950), giving off a roar and then charging at the demon
-
The demon seemed one-track minded, ignoring the searing pain coursing through him as he gave chase to the plane.
Ray was visibly unnerved, his eyes seemed distant as he continued avoiding the demon's ax.
-
(So...Ellias is a shadow demon from pathfinder :P)
Lotus seeing Ellias transform and the demon still focused on the plane, rethought her tactics. Seeing that the demon was very fond of his axe...She decided to break it. Leaping from the monster's eye she made dive bombing maneuver at the axe, cutting into its handle with all four of her weapons as she went by. Her hope was it would break off the axe head, leaving it with effectively just a stick.
-
Elias wrenched his head back and shot a high speed ball of flame at the demon's head, causing a small explosion, "Your mother's a saint and your father is a priest!", he said, hoping that would distract the demon.
-
"They were!" The demon cried, lashing out again with the ax. The blade clipped the left wing, breaking a few blades from the propeller and caused the plane to bank to one side. Ray was visibly straining to keep the plane from crashing and started shouting. "You gotta own this guy now!"
The demon, dancing closely on Death's door, was trying to close the gap between himself in the plane, but was flagging fast.
-
Elias sped at the demon again and swarmed around it's head, blocking it's vision and leading it away from the plane
-
Lotus knew Elias could handle the demon, she was more focused on disarming the thing. She went as far in the air as she thought she needed to and diverged the same spot on the axe again, this time hitting with a lot more force.
-
While the blades of ice circled around the demon, there was a purple flash somewhere overhead. Shortly afterwards, a figure plummeted towards the demon, though who it was could not be seen. As they neared the demon, however, a brief flash revealed a sword just before it was plunged into the demon, clearly an attempt on the figure's part to slow their descent.
-
The demon, in it's death throws, took one final swipe at the plane. The left engine exploded away from the rest of the plane, and the detonation wrecked the left side of the plane, injuring Ray. Shrapnel and flame battered the raccoon, rending him unconscious. The plane, now crippled and pilot-less, spiraled out of control towards the Earth.
-
All of a sudden, what appeared to be a metal suit of armor grabbed Ray and quickly put a parachute on him before trying to get the plane under some semblance of control.
The figure on the demon's back took a moment to get their blade out, then crawled up the demon's back, steadied themselves on its shoulder, and drove their sword right into the fiend's jugular, the blade easily piercing the demon's skin.
The leather suit of armor person, noting the figure, floated nearby, as if waiting to get the person out of there.
-
The demon dissipated, turning into a dark cloud which faded into nothingness.
-
The figure, deprived of their safe footing, began to plummet once more. However, before they got too far, the leather armor slammed into them and grabbed them under the arms, flying them through the air.
-
(Anything interesting happen?)
-
(The demon was defeated, the plane is damaged and starting to plummet, someone new showed up, but no one knows who they are or what they look like yet.)
-
The plane, though the metal suit of armor did their best to level the plane out, skipped across the ground and settled with a groan.
-
Lotus flew down and investigated the plane to see if everyone was alright.
-
Ray was bleeding profusely from a gash across his forehead, and his breathing was ragged. Most of his body was obscured by sparks and smoke from the instrument panels.
-
Lotus saw this and lifted Ray over her shoulder before carrying him out, before stuff explodes.
Lotus laid Ray on the ground a safe distance away and used magic to heal his wounds.
-
Elias landed on the ground in a crash, kicking up dust as he landed, black smoke puffing from his body as he returned back to normal, leaving a clothing torn fox laying on the ground, breathing heavily, "Seriously.... why does everything.... want to kill you people!...
-
Zephyr climbed out of the wreckage, surprisingly undamaged in any way. "Well, we are trying to kill them back," he said, shrugging and glancing around. "... Has anyone seen a suit of sentient leather armor around?"
"You mean like this one?" a new voice said as the leather armor touched down nearby, letting go of its passenger and seeming to disappear. As the figure walked over, it was revealed to be a brown female wolf in an odd black bodysuit that seemed to cover nearly every part of her body except for her upper arms, her head, and her midsection. Stopping a few feet from the others, the girl crossed her arms and grinned broadly. "So... What was all that about?" she asked, swishing her tail calmly. She did not seem particularly odd or strong, but crossing her arms revealed lean muscles beneath her fur and skin, there was a strange stab scar on her upper belly, and her eyes, like the tint at the ends of her hair, were a deep shade of slightly luminescent purple.
-
Elias laid on the ground still, regaining his strength slowly.
During the final minutes of the crash, Raz had used the full extent of his powers to keep the inside passengers safe, but as the dust settled, Raz laid ontop of Ray, he too, unconscious and a metal pole driven through his gut area, just shy of his vital organs, just skinning the stomach and passing through him like a blood-spattered dream.
Elias looked over to see a blood dripping Raz, "Can someone help Raz... I'm a bit worn out right now..."
-
The wolf shrugged and padded over. "What do you need done?" she asked, pulling a medical kit out of seemingly nowhere.
Zephyr walked over. "I'll help too."
-
Raz had gone unconcious from the impact and was unconscious with a pipe driven through his gut, but was still breathing, hardly but breathing
-
The wolf rubbed her chin. "...Hm.... this would be easier if he couldn't bleed?"
Zephyr nodded. "On it," he said, quickly giving Razuel some blood clot potion.
Raising an eyebrow, the wolf girl quickly got a grip on the pole. "Right... now hold him steady while I pull out this pole..."
-
Raz groaned as the pole was touched but roared out ad it was pulled, having woken up for a few seconds before passing out from the pain.
-
(OK, for the sake of "I wasn't around for ages", can someone fill me in on what's happening and where?)
-
((The crew was headed for Egypt, got intercepted by a demon, a few new characters (four, I think?) and now are at the plane crash-site, or in the plane.))
The leafy foliage the plane landed in seemed to be cut off abruptly by sand. The company had, by luck or otherwise, made it to Egypt.
Ray groaned, as he sat up slowly, and looked around. "W-What happened? W-Where are we?"
-
(Cool, thanks)
Coming back to consciousness, a puke-bag held tightly in his grip, Ibi looked around. He seemed uninjured, but he wasn't about to test that. "Ugh... This is why I don't like planes." He muttered.
He turned and looked out of the plane, and saw a small lick of flame. Trying to unfasten himself proved impossible, so he called out.
"Guys, we have a fire! And I'm trapped!"
-
The wolf ripped out the pole, tossing it to the side with some effort. "Sheesh... You folks sure know how to get in a scrap," she quipped, grinning again. Hearing Ibi's voice, the girl glanced at Zephyr. "Do you have skills as a doctor?"
Zephyr shrugged. "Some."
"Right... you take care of him, I'll see who's screaming," she said, walking calmly over to the wreckage and working her way through it to where Ibi was seated.
The cat sighed, then kneeled down and began dressing Raz's wounds. (He is not finished just because he started, though.)
-
Raz breathed with stuttered groans as his wound was dressed.
Elias slowly regained his strength and walked over to the pleading for help, walking through the flames and fiddling to get Ibi or of his seat, "Stop screaming, would you... it's only fire... besides, Razuel got a pipe through his gut an you don't hear him screaming... there..", Elias Haswell popped the belt off and help Ibi out, the fire licking his tattered lab coat, "You okay?"
-
Shaking, Ibi limped out of the plane. "My ankle... my wrist... I think they're broken." The flame had spread quite a lot, and was almost engulfing the whole wing - which contained the fuel lines for the destroyed engine...
-
Elias randomly picked Ibi up and walked straight into a batch of flames, that died down around him, flaming up as he passed by them, "The we oughta take the direct route... don't worry, the flames won't hurt you...", he then got out if the wreckage and walked over to a safe distance, setting him down and staying beside them, "I need exacts, so I'm going to pat you down gently, and I need you to tell me where certain areas hurt, feel fine, or are very numb... Okay? "
-
The female wolf followed them out of the plane, standing beside them as Elias checked.
-
The desert ahead seemed empty, yet dangerous. There was little in the way of defining structures, and the demons had left the area alone. The clouds above were a deep, foreboding black, and the quiet shouting and bellowing of demons in the air bode ill for flying. The crew, with no other option than walking, was left with a long journey ahead.
-
After several minutes, Zephyr finally managed to get Raz patched up, wrapping bandages around the injury. "I suggest you take it easy for at least a few hours," he said, glancing around. "Which shouldn't be too hard, considering our surroundings..."
The wolf looked around, cocking an eyebrow. "Why would I be sent here...?" she muttered to herself.
-
Raz slowly came to, gripping his gut and falling back down keeping his hand resting on the bandage as he gave a thumbs up to Zephyr, and the raising his head back up to look at them, "So... what happened... other then us crashin?"
Elias took the silence as a refusal and patted her down anyway, looking at her facial expressions to find the areas of hurt and then patching her up with clean, torn pieces if his lab coat and metal beams for splints and using hot metal to cauterize wounds, "How does that feel now?"
-
Ibi groaned. The pain was intense, and caused spots to appear in the corners of his vision.
-
Elias snapped his fingers, "Ibi?... Oh no, hey, wolf, come on over here, I think she may have something worse aside from a broken ankle and arm..."
-
The wolf walked over. "What seems to be the problem?" she asked.
Zephyr shrugged. "Well... that wolf lady showed up," he said. "I helped her get down... she can't fly that I know of," the female voice said. "Not yet... which makes it weird how she got there. But she helped to kill the demon."
-
Elias snapped his fingers couple more times in Ibi's face, "Ibi here, seems to be losing vision or something... she's not responding to me now, and that leaves me a bit worried... any ideas? I don't know much about mortals, other than Raz... is Raz okay?"
-
"J-just... hurts..." Focussing on remaining calm, Ibi could tell that his leg was either fractured or broken. He shifted his arm and gestured to his leg - which bent at an odd angle halfway down his shinbone.
-
The wolf nodded. "He just had a pipe through his body," she said, looking at the leg. "Hmm... I think this... er... man or woman's leg is broken."
-
Still focussing on remaining calm, Ibi felt a wondrous numbness flow through him - he was going into shock.
His arms began to quiver as adrenaline rushed through his veins, and his eyes rolled back as chest shook as well.
It was almost like a demon was trying to take over his body, minus the demon...
-
The wolf pricked up her ears. "...Shock," she muttered, carefully kneeling down and holding Ibi's head so that their tongue was not lost.
-
Despite not being possessed yet, there was certainly the presence of one around Ibi. It was odd though, since it didn't seem like it was trying to take over.
It was trying to fight back against the sudden shock.
One thing was for certain - Ibi would have a lot of explaining to do.
-

The wolf pursed her lips and noted this, but decided not to bring it up in case anyone overreacted.
-
The shivering lasted a while, but slowed as Ibi's eyes began to glow a soft purple. The demonic presence grew somewhat, and a voice echoed through the wolf's mind.
"... Do not attack, for I am not your enemy..."
-
"Wasn't planning on it," the wolf thought back, grinning mentally. "So... another internal demon, huh? You seem a bit more hidden than the cat's associates." She motioned to Zephyr. "Care to explain?"
-
"... I will leave it to my host, as the story is long and complicated and I like watching his mind spin as he remembers everything..." The demon replied. Ibi's shaking had stopped almost entirely, but his leg was still badly twisted. "... I can block pain sensors too, so if you are going to realign our leg, I would suggest doing it now..."
-
Nodding once, the wolf quickly set about realigning the leg. "You don't have to tell me twice," she said, pulling a medical kit out of seemingly nowhere.
-
The demon rested their head back and waited patiently for the wolf to fix the leg.
"... You seem a little tense... Is it because I am a demon? ..."
-
The demon rested their head back and waited patiently for the wolf to fix the leg.
"... You seem a little tense... Is it because I am a demon? ..."
The wolf shrugged. "I'm used to demons, though they have done a number on me before," she thought, sending the demon an image of her being punched repeatedly in the gut while magically chained to a tree. "What's really got me on edge is why the heck I'm even here."
-
"... I cannot answer that, young one..." The demon said. "... Allow me to introduce myself. I am Naur - High lord of the Forgotten Realm'..." A paw had been raised, as Naur took slightly more control over Ibi's body.
-
"... I cannot answer that, young one..." The demon said. "... Allow me to introduce myself. I am Naur - High lord of the Forgotten Realm'..." A paw had been raised, as Naur took slightly more control over Ibi's body.
The wolf cocked her head, then decided to be courteous. "...Clare Susannah Arrow," she thought to Naur, sending an image of a handshake being offered. "Nice to meet you."
-
"... Likewise..." Naur returned the thought. "... Do you need assistance with the bandages? ..."
-
With no warning, Elias sucker punched the demon, physically not hurting Ibi, but it did leave a red mark on Ibi's cheek, "**censor** prick! So, this is where you've been hiding since exile... And what's this about a forgotten realm... Y'know what, just keep her safe and I won't report you to the boatman, got it?", Raz walked over and looked angrily at Elias, "Why... did you hit Ibi, Haswell?", Elias looked surprised at Raz and looked a bit nervous, "N-nothing... just a demon...", Raz raised an eyeridge and looked at Ibi, "Bad intentions?", "As far as I know... no, not yet.", Raz gripped his side and balance on Elias Haswell, "Help me down, would you?", Elias did and Raz looked at Naur/Ibi, "So, who are you?"
-
Nursing their cheek, Naur spoke up. "... I just said I am not an enemy. Ibi took me in to protect me from those whom you seek in this land, so forgive me if I am a little on-edge..."
-
Elias huffed and walked towards the wreckage to see if he could scavenge some food, "Just keep her safe... I'm going to search for some food and water...", Raz watched Elias walk into the wreckage, "Elias may be a prick sometimes... but he means well... however, your host is one of your utmost priorities to protect, so I intend you to hold that up... alright?"
-
"... Believe me, if I wasn't concerned about the safety of my host, he'd have died a long time ago..." Naur said, beginning to wrap Ibi's leg in bandages and a splint.
-
Raz nodded, "Good... so, how'd you come across Ibi?"
-
"... It wasn't really a case of 'coming across' Ibi. I've been with him since he was born..." Naur said, as he sat up. "I've been fleeing from various other demons who were trying to overthrow me..."
-
"Hmm, so... was Ibi even born in the mortal plane, or was Ibi born somewhere else?..."
-
Clare glared after Elias, then sighed. "Some help would be nice, actually," she thought to Naur.
-
"... Ibi was born on this world, but I sought refuge in his body once he was aware of my presence..." Naur said. Guiding his paws to his leg, he held the splint in place. "... He and I have had a curious bond since then..."
-
Ray sat up, and spoke softly. "W-We need to get moving...our objective won't complete itself, r-right?"
-
Elias returned with a backpack half fill of water and some food, and Raz stood up and nodded, "Yes, let's go.", Raz's legs shook as he stood up and he balanced himself on Elias, "Let's get going."
-
"... Before we leave..." Naur began, "... Might I suggest finding something for Ibi to rest on, since his leg is broken. I may be able to resist pain, but that won't stop permanent damage..."
-
Elias walked to the plane and came back with a pipe and gave it to Raz, to then he used some of his fir to bend the pip to the shape of a cane and he gave it to Ibi/Naur, and then goes back to leaning on Elias, "There, that should work."
-
"... We appreciate your generosity..." Naur said, before retreating back into Ibi's mind.
Taking the cane, Ibi stood slowly and nodded to the others, letting them know he was ok to continue.
-
Clare just barely finished bandaging the leg before Nar retreated. "Right... that's set," she said, standing up and stretching her legs. "So...Other than Ibi, who are you people and where are we going?" The wolf smiled at the others; she seemed to grin a lot.
-
Ray stumbled into the sands, looking out towards the horizon.
-
Ibi limped, wincing and leaning on the cane as the splint held his leg upright. "So what exactly is this mission? I know that Naur mentioned something about his pursuers but it's all a little hazy for me..."
-
Zephyr raised a hand. "I thought we were stopping an obelisk or something," he said.
-
Ibi looked out at the horizon, there seemed to be something poking out of the ground - and it was darker than the surrounding area. "Is that it?" He asked, pointing at the dark spot.
-
Ray nodded, pointing at the object in question. "Y-Yeah...that's it. Let's get rollin'." He started towards the obelisk, painfully placing one foot in front of the other.
-
Zephyr nodded, putting on his hat. "You're the boss," he said, following after Ray.
Clare stretched, showing off her lean muscles. "So... rushing into combat, huh?" she said, grinning. "Sounds fun... Mind if I join you?" The wolf strapped on a pair of guns that seemed to come from nowhere. "I wouldn't hold you back."
-
Ibi smiled. "I don't see why not. I could use the company, if not for anyone else."
He began to follow the others, limping and leaning on his improvised cane.
-
Clare grinned and walked along beside Ibi, swinging her arms a bit. "Alright... I'll watch your back, and you watch mine, then," she said. Her bodysuit seemed to be made of a rather strong material; however, it seemed to leave her light-brown furred midriff almost entirely exposed from her ribcage to the top of her hips, which, while making her look like a freaking badass, would seem impractical to the common observer.
-
Ibi noted this. "Nice armour, but why the belly gap?" His own armour was light and simple, with padding over his shoulders, chest and back.
There was plenty of invisible gadgets underneath that made it possibly the most complicated armour in the world...

Clare cocked an eyebrow playfully. "Heh... Would you believe it's to distract enemies?" she said, stretching a bit. While she probably should have been more damaged there, the only scar she seemed to have was what appeared to be a stab wound on her solar plexus. "In truth, I'm a lot more armored than you think," she said, relaxing. "Though I will admit, I have been beaten pretty badly in the gut..."
-
"I can imagine..." Ibi said. "I've got more than my fair share of scars myself."
He pulled back his cloak to reveal the long, mangled scar he had sustained during his first major battle.
"I also didn't have these insect parts a while ago, but that was a side effect of someone bringing me back to life."
-
"I can imagine..." Ibi said. "I've got more than my fair share of scars myself."
He pulled back his cloak to reveal the long, mangled scar he had sustained during his first major battle.
"I also didn't have these insect parts a while ago, but that was a side effect of someone bringing me back to life."
Clare looked Ibi over. "I see... Well, believe it or not, that's the only unnatural scar that I have," she said, motioning to the old stab scar in her upper belly. "I got stabbed in the gut with my own sword."
-
Ibi laughed out loud, pulling back the other side of his cloak. "Me too!"
The scar wasn't very big, only about an inch long, and it seemed a little smoother than the rest.
-
Clare grinned and swished her tail. "Nice... we've got something in common, then," she said, holding her hands behind her head. "Not sure if you heard me before.... Clare Susannah Arrow." The wolf reached out a hand to Ibi.
-
"Ibi Marr Volkun." He took it, and shook. "I hear a lot of what happens, unless Naur blocks me out for whatever reason. It's usually important if they do."
-
Clare nodded. "I see... so did you see that image I sent too?" she asked, lowering her hands and walking along, her purple eyes focused on Ibi. "Also, nice to meet you, Ibi." She grinned.
-
Ibi reached out and pulled her closer, by the waist. "Watch out for that tree..."
-
Ibi reached out and pulled her closer, by the waist. "Watch out for that tree..."
Clare flushed a tiny bit, also looking a bit pained. "Yeah... Things were pretty bad after that," she said. "I was all beat up, my clothes were a bit tattered, and I had several bleeding cuts, along with enough internal bleeding to make blood trickle out of my belly button." She rubbed her arm, feeling a bit sheepish around Ibi, a feeling intensified by the hand on her waist. "A friend healed me, though... kept mr from passing on..." Her waist seemed rather soft to the touch.
-
Letting go of her rather quickly, Ibi's eyes widened. "That's a lot of blood... my near death experience was a little similar, but blood didn't really dribble from anywhere - it just pooled around me as the others tried to heal me."
-
Ray stepped through the sand, before collapsing. He felt weak, drained of all strength.
-
Raz tried to rush to Ray, Elias following along and they both helped Ray up, Raz shading Ray with his wing, "You okay, bud?"
-
Clare looked at Ibi with raised eyebrow. "...You had more blood," she said, smiling awkwardly. "Trust me." The wolf noticed Ray fall, but saw that others were there to help him, and thus stayed back. "Anyway, I'd say I'm alright now- at the least, I haven't seen any blood trickling out of me."
Zephyr checked Ray's pulse. "....You're tired," he stated. "We should rest for a while."
-
Chuckling, Ibi slowed his pace as his leg began to ache again. "May need to check the splint. It was not wise of me to be walking so soon after breaking my leg in half."
There was a mysterious figure in the distance, almost clearly visible. They seemed to be fighting something large, and winning.
-
Zephyr cocked his ear and glanced over. "... There's fighting over there," he said, pulling out the grasscutter.
Clare was about to offer her shoulder to Ibi when the sounds of fighting came. "... Do you hear combat?" she said, looking around.
-
Ibi's ears perked, and he looked around. "I hear it, but I don't see it... Too many heatwaves coming off the sand."
-
Clare peered forward. "Whatever's going on, it's over there," she said, pointing towards the fight in the distance. "Should we investigate?"
-
Ray glanced up at those helping him. "N-No...w-we need to...to hurry."
-
Name: Nora Vess
Age: Unknown
Species: Cat angel
Gender: Female
Disposition: Angelic
Preferred weapons: Her mind.
Tact: Generally, she doesn't meddle in mortal affairs.
There is something else she is seeking - and it is clearly weighing on her mind with every decision she makes.
Anything else of note: Don't stand in her way...
The fighting was intense, but there was a sudden explosion of light that rivalled the sun - then nothing. Angelic energy was so prominent that there was a visible dome where demons were being repelled.
...
"Ok... after that, I'd say absolutely. Buuuut... I can't do it." Ibi said. "Anyone here less than half-demon?"
-
Clare cocked an eyebrow. "Well, I'm.... complicated," she said, grinning. "I could go."
Zephyr glanced over at the others. ".... We could go, boyo," the Scottish voice said to Ibi. "There's more than half here, I'll tell you that!"
-
Elias looked at the explosion, "**censor**...", Elias then looked at Clare, "Whatever you do, don't mention that I'm a gatekeeper... don't ask, just don't mention it... there's a reason that I don't meddle with many angels... but this one ain't one to meddle with... **censor**, be careful.", Elias then turned into his gaseous form, that looked like pure black smoke, much like a demons, that then disappeared into a portal.
Raz looked at Elias as he fled, "If he's leaving... that means... shit... something is bad, very very bad.", Raz was standing beside Ray and he put a hand on them, "You're not going anywhere, ya hear?"
-
The energy began to fade, focussing on a single, bright figure. Enormous wings made of light were now clearly visible from where the group was, spanning well over fifty metres.
-
Clare, looking at the figure, suddenly walked forward. "Yeah, you guys might want to stay back," she said, glancing over her shoulder. "That's an angel."
Zephyr shrugged. "...She's got a point," he said. "Some angels, particularly the younger, more brash ones, don't tend to discriminate with the demons they kill at times..."
Clare shrugged and walked off. Just then, pretty much everyone realized that she hadn't explained a damn thing about why she could do what she could and had not adequately explained why it would be safer for her to go.
-
(Nice hinting there Cif :P)
Looking at Clare, Ibi asked "So why are you able?"
The figure stood, seemingly walking towards the Obsidian pillars.
-
Without warning, all color was drained from the world. A quiet fluttering accompanied the sudden appearance of a murder of crows. Within the murder, the Grim Reaper appeared. Death himself, cloaked in black and carrying a wicked scythe, made a slow bee-line towards Ray, and those helping him.
-
Zephyr's eyes turned red. "Are you freakin' kidding me?!" the female voice said. "How are we supposed to... Zephyr?"
While the female had been talking, Zephyr's mouth had slowly curled into a grin. "It's been a long time, hasn't it?" he called out to Death.
Clare looked over her shoulder and stuck her tongue out playfully, winking at Ibi. "I'll explain later," she said, sauntering off towards the angel.
(... I kid you not, Zephyr really has fought Death before. o-o)
-
Elias could watch the others from where he hid, and he immediately got angry, and began running in his hide hole, taking on the appearance of the scout from tf2 and then hopping out of portals and in portals, hitting death with some glowing baseball bat, "Batter up!", this continued until he jumped out far away from death, "Hey, did I miss a costume party or sumthin? Because, you have the worst one! Anyway... you ain't taking mah friend, deathy-boy, you just ain't....", he then waved and hopped in a portal again, readying to attack again.
-
Ibi stood there, a dumb look on his face. He didn't really know what to make of the situation, but he knew it was bad.
The mysterious figure drew closer, the energy around them beginning to fade as they took on the appearance of a wounded mortal.
-
Death seemed unhindered, set in his path. He momentarily glanced at Zephyr, noting his previous opponent, but continued towards Ray.
Ray groaned, unaware of what was happening, and spoke softly. "G-Guys? I-I'm cold...L-Like...really cold..."
-
The presence was close now, and a feeling of calm spread across the whole area. The figure was now clearly visible - a cat. She approached the group and spoke, her voice filled with authority. "Who is your leader?"
-
Clare looked over her shoulder. "Huh... I'm gonna guess the guy who's about to get axed by Death," she said to the figure. "...Can you do something about that?"
Zephyr quickly began to walk towards Ray.
-
The figure bowed her head slowly. "Death comes to collect, nothing more. And I do not intervene in mortal affairs."
Ibi looked at Ray. "Check for internal bleeding." He said to Zephyr.
-
The figure bowed her head slowly. "Death comes to collect, nothing more. And I do not intervene in mortal affairs."
Ibi looked at Ray. "Check for internal bleeding." He said to Zephyr.
Zephyr was suddenly by Ray's side, checking for internal bleeding.
Clare nodded. "I see... Are you hurt at all?" she said, grinning. "You really tore the hell out of... whatever that was."
-
The feline chuckled. "What you saw was me appearing in a combat zone. I did not partake in that substandard fight."
-
Ray had no obvious signs of bleeding, though he was still weakening.
Death stopped a few feet away from Ray, and spoke softly. "I've come to clear his debts."
-
Ibi looked confused. "Clear his what now? Since when does the Grim reaper run a bank?"
Nora looked at Ray. "This one thrives off demonic power, it seems... My presence is weakening a lot of you quite significantly."
-
Death once again spoke. "This one died long ago. His soul, however, is trapped, in fire wrapped. A demon has bonded with him, and refuses to let him go." Death's scythe turned, glinting in the sun. "I intend to free him."

-
Ibi threw his paws up. "Ok now I've heard everything!"
Nora watched him, and chuckled.
-
Zephyr sighed and unsheathed his sword, seeming no less strong than before. "Look, Death, can this wait until after we save the world?" he said. "We really don't have time for this."
Clare looked at the angel, cocking an eyebrow. "You could try to not enjoy this so much," she murmured.
-
"There is an easy way for this one to survive and defeat the demon within him, but he may not like it." Nora said, walking over to Ray. "Can you talk?"
-
Ray nodded. "K-Kinda...I just wanna sleep."
-
"Don't sleep. You will lose your fight." Nora said, grabbing his shoulder with a paw. "You need to listen to what I am saying, and stay awake, got it?"
-
Zephyr did not stop the angel from approaching Ray, since she clearly wished to help.
Clare watched on, not sure what else to do.
-
Ibi stood next to Clare and whispered in her ear. "Geez, the grim reaper really killed the mood..."
-
Ibi stood next to Clare and whispered in her ear. "Geez, the grim reaper really killed the mood..."
"Tell me about it," Clare whispered back. "Also, what's this about saving the world again?"
-
"Oh, we're going to this weird pillar thing to do something. Not quite sure myself... I'm just here because I wanted to tag along." Ibi admitted.
-
Clare nodded slowly, grinning. "Neat... that makes two of us," she whispered, swishing her tail slowly.
-
Ray stood up, slowly. "R-Right...we're saving the world." Death, who's presence hung like a miasma, nodded and backed away slowly.
-
Raz and Elias stood a bit aways from the group, Elias staying in his grey smoke form, eyes glowing a shade of red, but not in anger, and the two just watched from afar, "You're not gonna let that angel take me, right, Raz?", "I won't... don't worry, Haswell..."
-
Zephyr sheathed his blade, sighing in relief. "Well... that's done for now," he said, patting Ray's shoulder. "How are you feeling?"
-
Nora's eyes widened a little, but she regained her composure quickly. "You seek the pillars, yes?" She said to Ray.
Ibi chuckled, then he began quietly humming a simple, but lengthy tune.
-
Ray sighed. "I feel like I almost died." He then turned to Nora. "We seek to destroy them."
-
Raz walked back to the group with Elias looming over him in gaseous form, "Everything settled now?"
-
Zephyr shrugged. "Almost.... I think," he said, glancing over at Raz quickly. "Maybe another minute or so..." "Or a few more posts..." the female voice said. "SHHH!" Zephyr replied, looking startled for some reason.
Clare, cocking an ear towards Ibi, began to slightly bop her hips from side to side to the beat of Ibi's tune.
-
Ray nodded. "It seems our reality isn't in charge around here."
-
Ray nodded. "It seems our reality isn't in charge around here."
Zephyr tugged the brim of his hat down over his face. "Good thing I'm used to multiplicity, then," he stated, looking around. "Is there anything I can do for you, Ray?"
-
Nora stood tall, in front of Ray. "I cannot let you destroy them yet, for I have important matters to attend to there." Her paw had fallen down to the hilt on her thigh, even though she didn't like traditional weapons herself
-
Ray merely sidestepped Nora, and continued walking. "Demons and angels are all alike. Each one needs the other, but won't admit it. We're destroying those things before Hell itself encroaches on our world."
-
"If you're not going to listen to what I have to say, then I will make you stay here until I'm done." Nora's eyes glowed, and she began channeling energy through her armoured paws. "Besides, it isn't the only way to stop Hell getting through."
Ibi continued to hum, noticing Clare slowly dancing.
-
Ray's paw strayed to his revolver, but the raccoon stopped himself. "I don't have time to fight with you." He then continued moving on towards the obelisk. The sky had begun darkening around the structure, like localized nightfall.
-
Nora glared at Ray. "You will not destroy them until they have been disabled." She said, venom dripping from her voice. "And you are incapable of that."
There was a whistle, and her blade pierced the ground in front of Ray, standing bolt upright and humming with energy.
-
Ray stared at the humming weapon. "I will not allow you or anyone else to take the obelisks. We will destroy them any way possible."
-
Raz looked at the two and then the obelisk and quickly caught on, thinking that it was the obelisk causing this anger, so he walked up to Nora and Ray and grabbed them both, "Your actions aren't going to help anyone if you fight each other... plus, I think that thing over there might be making you two a tad bit more insane if you try and get closer..., and until you two figure something out", Raz gripped harder on their shoulders, digging his claws in a bit, "I'm not letting go..."
-
Ray glared at Raz, as his paw rested on the grip of his revolver. "Let...me...go."
-
Raz looked at Ray in the eyes, his eyes flaring, an illusion of a fire replacing his pupil, but it seemed real, "Ray... no..., If we're going to be a team then you both need to **censor** make up and bite your tongues, if you don't... I'll fly you personally back to the HQ... got it, Ray?", he then turned his head towards Nora, "And if you don't act properly as you should, then I'll have my buddy over there tell on you to the higher ups... got it?", he then went silent for a few seconds, letting the silence take over, and then looking down infront of himself, "GOT IT!?"
-
Zephyr suddenly dashed forward and grabbed what he believed were Nora and Ray's weapon-wielding hands. "Listen to the man, you two," he said calmly. "Fighting isn't going to help anything."
Clare looked over at Ibi. "We should probably say something."

----------------------------
A tall figure stood behind the group, he was covered in a black trench coat and had a large backpack on. He chuckled and waved, "Good evening everyone!" His voice was raspy and sinister.
-
The sand shifted a bit and Raz could feel a cold metal on the bottoms of his feet, he then knelt down and moved some sad to reveal a shiny slate of metal with runes on it, "Um... does anyone know what this means?"
-
The Merchant stood watching, he looked over at Raz and coughed.
-
Elias turned and went to the merchant, appearing beside them in a puff of smoke, "Merchant?... Wait... the only times you show up is when you want to see a battle... and con out your customers... anyway, what gives? I thought you were lurking around in the Japanese territory... or maybe it was Russia, anyway... What brings you here, old friend?"
Raz followed along with Elias and walked up to the merchant, "Hey, buddy, do you know what any of these runes say or mean?"
-
The Merchant looked at Elias and scuffed, "The only time I consider a customer as a friend is if I know them well. You I don't know, I've probably made a transaction with you before. But I don't remember you." The Merchant then grabbed the Rune and looked at it for a few short minutes. "Can't say I do stranger."
-
Clare cocked an eyebrow and glanced at the writing from a distance. "...Looks like one of the older languages," she murmured, seeming to be translating it from where she stood.
-
Nora hissed, wrenching her arm out of Zephyr's grip. "You would be wise to avoid doing that in the future..." She said.
"I did not come to fight you all, I simply came to warn you that destroying them now will only make matters worse. If you will not heed my warning, then I will be forced to take drastic action."
Ibi looked at Clare. "So... what did you want me to say? There is a very angry cat Angel there, and Ray's going ballistic because she's telling him to wait a few days..." He was grinning slightly, as if he was amused by the situation.
-
Zephyr blinked, his attention on Nora. "Well, if you'd explain how it would be made worse, that would be nice," he said neutrally.
Clare shrugged, grinning back. "No idea," she said. "Just seems that those two aren't being too reasonable."
-
Nora was still visibly upset, but she stood back and took a breath. "If the pillars aren't disabled before they are destroyed, then they will unleash massive amounts of demons, the likes of which I doubt you have seen..."
Ibi shrugged. "Well if it turns into a fight, then at least there'll be something to see that -isn't- sand..."
-
Zephyr raised an eyebrow. ".... I've seen a lot of demons, but... I'll take your word for it," he said. "How do we disable them?"
Clare chuckled. "That's really not that funny," she said, giving Ibi a grin that said a bit more than usual. She had rather stunning purple eyes. "But... appropriate. And true."
-
Clare cocked an eyebrow and glanced at the writing from a distance. "...Looks like one of the older languages," she murmured, seeming to be translating it from where she stood.
Elias asked in a calm tone, "Well, whichever the case, why are you here?", he said to the merchant
-
The Merchant laughed and pointed at them all, "Gota selection of goods for you today!" He put the back pack down in front of him and opened his jacket to revel large stocks of ammo and pistols.
-
Ibi couldn't help but grin as he stared into Clare's eyes. "I've never seen this shade of purple in an eye before... It reminds me of amethysts; which were sacred in my birth town."
Nora sighed. "Each one is different, which is why I need you all to wait. Unless you'd like to come and disable it with me."
-
Zephyr shrugged. "We'd love to join you," he said, motioning to himself. "We'll have to see what the others say, though."
Clare blinked and flushed very slightly, grinning and rubbing her arm after reaching around behind her back. "Well... I suppose it's from my parentage," she said, swishing her tail softly. "Amethysts were sacred, huh?"
-
Ibi nodded and held one of her paws up gently. "There was one about the size of your paw, in a small temple. It's where everyone went to worship. It was said to be the key to communicate with the gods, but then I learned that it was just a rock that gave the village hope." He squeezed her paw a little. "Not long after I found out, the village was reduced to nothing by a horde of possessed villagers." His ears folded back.
Nora stood and waited, calming down slowly but maintaining a fiercely determined expression. "We?" She asked, a tad confused.
-
Ray had dropped his paw, and stood facing away from the group. Though very faint, energy seemed to pulse from the structures in the distance.
-
Clare lowered her ears. "... I'm sorry to hear that," she said.
Zephyr looked over at the stones. "...Ohhh, that does not feel right," the female voice said.
-
Nora turned. "Exactly. Now, if you don't mind, I'll be off to disable these pillars." She started towards them, pulling her blade out of the ground and sheathing it as she walked past Ray.
Ibi sighed. "There wasn't much I could do. But it's all in the past now. I was still a cub at the time though, so it's mostly forgotten."
-
Zephyr suddenly seemed to fade from existence.
Clare softly clasped Ibi's hand for a while, then pulled him close for a hug.
-
Raz watched the group and went over to Zephyr and clasped their hand, "Wh-what’s going on?"
-
Raz's hand went through Zephyr.... it seemed to be just a illusion. (Also, he followed Nora..."
Suddenly, what appeared to a metal suit of armor walked up. "Well, I canna say, lad," it replied in the voice of the Scottish accent. "But whatever it was, it appears that we need to wait for the pillars to be disabled somehow before they are destroyed."
-
Ibi flushed as Clare hugged. him, but what was more alarming was that he found himself wrapping his arms around her too.
Nora turned and, not seeing Zephyr anymore, seemed a little confused. "Who's this?" She asked, gesturing to the suit of armour.
-
Zephyr suddenly reappeared next to Nora. "One of my.... associates," he said, smiling oddly. The gauntlets on his hands seemed to be missing some metal...
Clare flushed slightly as she patted Ibi's back, comforting him as well as she could. She rubbed his shoulders slightly.
-
Nora's tail was bushy, but it slowly reduced as she was reassured that the 'newcomer' was not an additional threat
"I guess that's ok... A long as he's on our side..."
A single tear ran from Ibi's cheek to Clare's shoulder as he remembered all of his family and friends who had perished in battles and in tat fateful place.
-
Nora's tail was bushy, but it slowly reduced as she was reassured that the 'newcomer' was not an additional threat

A single tear ran from Ibi's cheek to Clare's shoulder as he remembered all of his family and friends who had perished in battles and in tat fateful place.
Clare felt the tear seep through the fur on her shoulder, and kept holding Ibi until he felt better.
"Aye, I am, lass," the metal man said.
-
Ray started towards the pillars, a crazed look in his eyes.
-
Nora, despite not knowing him very well, had noticed Ray's sudden change of demeanour. "He's been affected. Restrain him while I go and disable the pillar." She said as she ran off, toward the pillars, her sword beginning to glow in its sheath.
Ibi was clutching at Clare's back as he felt his few memories return. He couldn't stop the wave of devastation that hit him, but he knew that it was the pillars doing it.
-
Raz ran at Ray along with Elias and they both tackled him to the ground, pinning him down, "Got him!"
-
Ray thrashed beneath his captors, shouting madly. "Lemme go! I gotta get to the pillars! Please!"
-
Elias and Raz kept Ray down, "No! You are not going!!"
-
Suddenly Raz, Elias and Ray seemed to shimmer, before disappearing.
The three appeared much closer to the monolith, the once-white sand had begun to turn a nasty purple, and was uncomfortable to touch. Ray thrashed even harder, shouting. "We're so close!"
-
(I have returned! Now what happened?)
-
(O-O Welcome back... and.... A lot. We have new members, also, the pillars need to be disabled apparently.)
Zephyr followed Nora silently, unable to be seen by any eyes.
Clare continued to hold Ibi, rubbing his back softly
-
(Ok...I may need to read a little but I was planning on introducing a second character.)
Post Merge: September 24, 2016, 04:22:16 PM
Name: (Last, First, Middle): Reaper, Jack, Andreas
Alias: Priest
Age: Over 1000
Species: High Ranking Pride Demon. (Black cat)
Gender: Male
Disposition:) In his words: "I am a monster of the cloth first...demon second."
Preferred weapon(s): He is a master of blades in all shapes and sizes. He has the power to conjure any blade out of thin air and either wield them or use them as projectiles.
Anything else of note:
The Legend of Jack. (And a really long back story)
The year was 1294, a time of war where the forces of good struggled against the forces of evil. It was this time that The war of Crusades was coming to a close and the demons of the abyss were pushing there final assault against the angels. One particular demon that was leading these forces,
a pride demon known simply as Jack of Blades was the mastermind behind this whole campaign to defeat the forces of good. Jack was a cold, cruel demon who only had conerns about getting wanted nothing but the glory of having been the leading general who defeated the forces of the gods.
However one day while Jack was collecting souls from the battlefield to be forged into new demons, someone came to challenge him. It was an angel clad in golden the finest armor that heaven could offer, with long flowing blonde hair and beyond perfect body of a white cat woman. Jack had heard stories of this particular angel from his troops and knew it was the second in command of heavens army, Ferra Lionheart. As much as Jack wanted to laugh at this angel for challenging him, there was somethimg about her that filled him with a burning shame but he couldn't pinpoint what, but he accepted none the less
After hours of fighting, Jack had Ferra on the ground and at his mercy. A hundred of Jacks blades hovered over Ferra and Jack could have finished her at any moment, but something held him back. It was that overwhelming feeling of shame and the longer Jack looked into Ferra's eyes the more it prevented him from finishing the job. Seeing Jacks hesitation, Ferra took the oppurtiny to try and invade his mind, hoping to find out the demons' next plan of attack.
What she found was a memory...a memory that both of them had tried to forget.
When Jack was merrily a mortal he was a sociopathic killer and felt nothing when he killed people. There was only one person he ever had feelings towards though, a shrine maiden known as Ferra. To Jack she was a shining beacon in sea of pathetic welps who to him deserved his ire. Lucky for him, Ferra didn't kmow who he was and the two quickly fell in love. Jack and Ferra lived happily but Jack continued to kill in secret until one day Ferra found out. Jack tried to male her stay with him but Ferra struggled...and in that struggle Jack had killed her. With the only thing he loved gone, Jack committed suicide and his soul went straight to the abyss.
Now Jack and Ferra were reunited, but under different circumstances. Before Ferra could do anything Jack fled as fast as he could.
On the day of what was to be the greatest victory in demon history, Jack lead the demon forces against what was left of the angels forces. However right as the two forces were about to clash, Jack turned on his own troops and proceeded to cut them down screaming. "Die scum of the abyss in the name of the gods!" Confused and paniced the demon army halted there charge and lost momentum as now they had to fight their leading General. Seeing that the demons were in disarray, the angels rallied and room the offensive. Leaderless and confused the demons were easily rooted and defeated without much of a fight.
The war was over but after the battle Jack had disappeared, leaving only his armor as a sign that he was there. Where he is he will be praised for his actions and remembered not as the demon who had destroyed heaven...but as the hero who changed his ways for the sake of one woman.
-
Raz wrapped himself around Ray like a straight jacket while Elias pulled on Ray's feet, pulling them away from the Monolithe, "This doesn't feel right...", "No shit, captain obvious!!"
-
Nora ran, wings shining brightly as the ground purified around her feet. Her blade glowed as she pulled it out and threw it, and it embedded itself in the ground next to the pillar. A massive surge of magical energy erupted from it, and the pillar's energy was forced back into it. Its touch on the minds of everyone faded as its power was sealed away.
-
The huge sword blade landed mere inches away from Nora, followed closely by the massive demon Korg'ath. He bared his teeth at Nora, and bellowed. "What is the meaning of this?!"
Cultists began working to reactivate the obelisk. They were protected by some form of shield derived from Korg'ath's own life-blood.
Ray stopped thrashing about, and spoke up. "Please... get off of me!"
-
Nora hissed. "Who are you, demon, and why are you trying to reactivate something that is completely useless now?" Her sword flew back and the hilt landed in her paw.
-
(I am having trouble figuring out how to get Lotus or my new character into this.)
-
(Inexplicable sudden teleportation.)
Ice began to form in some areas of the ground.
Clare looked up at the figures in the distance. "...It looks like we're needed," she said, gently looking into Ibi's eyes.
-
Nora hissed. "Who are you, demon, and why are you trying to reactivate something that is completely useless now?" Her sword flew back and the hilt landed in her paw.
Lotus appeared next to Clare and bowed.
"I appologize for my absence. Is there any way I can be of assistance."
"Yes I would like some I sight on that as well." A voice said from the shadows. A black cat with short, neatly trimmed hair steps from the darkness dressed in black preacher garb.
-
(A...A black? o-o)
Clare suddenly made her sword appear out of nowhere and held Ibi close, blade at the ready. "Where did you two come from?" she asked, grinning nervously.
-
Lotus's expressiom didn't change.
"My apologies it appears we haven't met. I am a friend so no worries are needed. The cat however..."
"I go where I please...but I am a friend." The cat says adjusting his glasses.
"Now don't you have some bigger concerns." The cat points to the pillar.

(Also just so any demon characters know this, Jack is an infamous traitor known by all demons. He deeds during the crusades more or less painted a massive target on his back.)
-
The huge sword blade landed mere inches away from Nora, followed closely by the massive demon Korg'ath. He bared his teeth at Nora, and bellowed. "What is the meaning of this?!"
Cultists began working to reactivate the obelisk. They were protected by some form of shield derived from Korg'ath's own life-blood.
Ray stopped thrashing about, and spoke up. "Please... get off of me!"
Elias grew giant grey hands and picked Ray and Raz up and brought them away from the monolith before setting them down, Raz then got off of Ray and pointed at him, "Stay!", and then went to Nora to see if he could help, leaving Elias with Ray, to make sure he didn't run to the monolith again
-
The demon smiled, as the monolith began to rise in the air, only to slam back into the ground. "That doesn't seem useless." He stood upright, and boomed. "I am Korg'ath, Eater of Men and Slayer of Angels. What business do you have here, attempting to stop our plans?"
As the obelisk slammed into the earth, Ray stood up, and looked to the obelisk.
-
The cat stepped forward.
"Ah yes I know you, I remember when you were still a dretch on the fields of the abyss. My how much you have grown." The cat was clearly taunting the Korg'ath...but somehow actually did seem to know what he was talking about.
-
"You speak lies and untruths, wretch!" Korg'ath lashed out with his whip-like tails.
Ray glanced at Elias a moment, before suddenly darting towards the obelisk. He seemed to blink in and out of existence before disappearing.
-
Elias looked showed but knew the general direction hr was going and followed Ray, trying to anticipate where he was going to blink in again.
Raz stepped in front of the cat and wrapped the tails around his own arm, pulling them towards himself, making them straighten and the severing the bit of the tail close to him, "Ah ah ah~ That's not a proper way to deal with someone...", he then looked back at the cat with a smile and a flare in his eyes, "Wanna have some fun?"
-
Out of thin air the cat drew a pair of swords while several more appeared hovering behind him.
"Yes...let's." An aura of red appeared around the cat as he dashed forward.
-
A fire engulfed Raz, turning him into a 9'8'' tall feral dragon, and as his transformation ended, he kicked off the ground and bore his claws and teeth to the demon, a sparkling red fire resonating off of him as he shot towards it.
-
Korg'ath moved faster than anything ever imagined. He gripped Raz's neck and threw the dragon into the cat.
-
"Ah, penis comparison at its finest," the female voice said from somewhere. Suddenly, the numerous suits of leather armor appeared and began to hurl spells at Korg'ath, as the ice spread along the ground.
Clare nodded slowly. "Alright... Well. I suppose we should go kill this sucker, then," she said, grinning a bit more assuredly.
-
The spells seemed to have little effect on the demon. He slashed at the armor suits with his sword.
-
The sword went right through the figures, but they did not cease their spellcasting, nor were they harmed. It was as though they did not even exist....
-
The demon growled, and took a step backwards. The obelisk split into four equal parts, and ploughed deep into the earth.
-
Raz rolled in the air and dodged the cat, hitting the ground hard, but immediately got back up, staying close to the ground to flank the demon
-
Raz rolled in the air and dodged the cat, hitting the ground hard, but immediately got back up, staying close to the ground to flank the demon
The nimbly dodged underneath Raz and charged Korgath. However instead of attacking Korgath, the cat simply jumped on his shoulders and propelled himself at the obelisks.
"Blade storm!" Multiple small portals formed above the obelisks and rained down a litteral storm of blades right on top of it at alarming speeds.
-
Nora had retreated some distance, one of the demon's tails had sliced her across her chest and she was struggling to stay upright.
Ibi ran over and removed his cloak, revealing his enormous wings. He folded it a few times before wrapping it around Nora's chest tightly. "Geez... Some demons need to be careful!"
-
Korg'ath spat a bolt of fire at Nora, and swiped at Raz.
Just as the magical blades were about to reach the obelisk, they were deflected by a hail of gunfire.
-
Raz latched onto the hand that swiped at him and started to climb it as if it were ground, digging his claws into Korg'ath as he climbed them
-
Korg'ath glared at Raz, before belching forth a miasma of toxic gas at the dragon.
-
Raz was affected but pushed on, eventually making it to the back of the demon's neck and the ripping bits and bits off of the demon by force
-
The metal figure rushed at Korg'ath- or seemed to- with the aim of tackling him.
To Korg'ath, an ice storm seemed to start.
The leather armors kept firing, but half focused their attacks on the pillars.
Clare looked around for the source of the gunfire.
-
Inky black ooze poured out from Korg'ath, but he seemed unaffected by Raz's onslaught. He merely grabbed Raz by the tail, and threw the dragon back towards his comrades. Korg'ath then shouted, "get out here, wretch!"
After a a brief struggle, the cultsist defending the obelisk were able to get a magic barrier up, stopping the sword storm, and the barrage of magic attacks. The gunfire ceased, and Ray shuffled out from the obelisk shards.
-
Raz hit the cat this time when he fell, letting out a yelp when he hit the ground, shortly passing out from the toxin that had earlier hit him
-
Nora had deflected the fireball, and was now fuming. She loosed as much energy as she could spare in a harsh beam of light directed at Korg'ath's body. The light was almost blinding to anyone with demonic essence in them, but to any pure souls, it was almost like a straight rainbow.
-
One of the cultist's guns was suddenly taken by... something.
Clare pulled a gun out of seemingly nowhere and fired off a burst at Korg'ath.
-
Korg'ath staggered backwards, and shouted. "Kill them, wretch!"
Ray shook his head, and looked around confused for a moment, before raising his revolver and firing at his friends. The young raccoon seemed to act like a puppet, not moving of his own accord.
-
The metal creature ran straight at Ray, any bullet aimed at it pinging off. It attempted to tackle Ray.
Bursts of gunfire began to go off inside the magical shield.
Clare kept firing at Korg'ath, her sword in her other hand and a fierce look in her purple eyes. One of Ray's bullets hit her in the side, causing her to stagger. However, she got up and kept moving.
-
Ray jumped the metal creature as it passed, firing rounds into its back as it passed.
Korg'ath pointed his sword at Clare, and roared as the blade launched a hail of gunfire.
-
The wolf, moving with incredible speed, began to dodge the gunfire, squeezing off a shot whenever she had a moment to shoot. "That all you got?" she murmured, grinning widely.
-
Korg'ath suddenly swung his sword, and a rain of bullets followed in it's path.
-
Clare tried to dodge this, but a number of bullets struck her in the abdomen, knocking her onto her back with a throaty gasp. Before Korg'ath could see if the attack killed her or not, a group of leather armors formed around Clare, and more of them suddenly appeared, launching all forms of elemental attacks at the demon in seeming rage.
-
The demon drove his sword down into the crowd of leather armors.
-
The sword sliced through them like they were nothing, but it did not pierce Clare, for suddenly, the wolf, moving surprisingly fast for someone who just got shot, dashed up the blade and onto Korg'ath's arm. "Thanks for trying, but I don't want my belly pierced again," she said, grinning and drawing her sword along the flesh of his arm as she ran up him. It seemed to burn where it touched his skin.
-
Korg'ath roared, and glared at Ray, who collapsed and held his head. "Kill this fool, wretch!" Ray stood back up, and loosed a few shots at Clare.
-
The metal thing suddenly tackled Ray from behind, somehow not dead yet. "Snap out of it, boyo!" it said, trying to get Ray to stop shooting.
Clare was hit in the side again, but stabbed her sword into Korg'ath's flesh to keep from falling off. Once she had regained herself, she continued to climb the arm, the leather armors aiming around her.
-
Ray was able to free his arm, and fired a few more rounds into the metal thing. "I'm sorry!"
-
The metal thing was unnaffected by this. It was metal. "How many shots are in that damn thing, lad?" the thing murmured. "Shall I try disarming you?"
-
Ray suddenly brought his head down on whatever serviced as a head for the metal thing, putting a nice gash across his head. He shook his revolver, which then changed into a short-barreled shotgun, and continued to fire into the metal thing.
-
The metal thing sighed. "This is gonna take a while," he murmured, beginning an effort to wrestle the gun away from Ray.
Clare managed to reach Korgath's shoulder, and quickly slashed at it a couple times, still grinning.
-
Korg'ath threw a wide punch at Clare, as his tails came up to lash at her.
Ray's gun floated up, but continued firing.
-
Korg'ath threw a wide punch at Clare, as his tails came up to lash at her.
Ray's gun floated up, but continued firing.
Clare dodged the punch, but rolled right into the tails and had to sink her sword in again to keep from falling off. Strangely enough, she wasn't leaving a trail of blood, considering that she'd been hit in the stomach with several bullets.
-
The whip-like tails wrapped around Clare, and threw her into the metal thing assaulting Ray.
-
Raz laid on the ground, suffering deeply from the toxin, it making him slowly become deathly ill, first, causing his body to overheat, much more than a normal dragon would.
-
Ibi watched hopelessly as the others were dominated by the demons. He couldn't think of anything he could do, and he was terrified that this would end the same way his last company did...
.
Nora unleashed another harsh burst of angelic energy straight at the huge demon, giving off a burst of white light.
-
The demon bellowed as his sight was stolen, and swung the massive sword wildly.
-
(What has happened?)
-
(We're fighting a big bad guy and I don't know if he's winning or not...)
-
Somehow, Clare managed to position herself in midair so that she could kick off the metal thing and roll forward, standing up and looking at the demon in defiance. In this position, anyone who glanced at the wolf would notice that, while she was covered in bruises, she had no gunshot wounds.
Ice started creeping up Korg'ath's legs.
-
(What has happened?)
(Raz has also been affected by a toxin and is fairly ill right now)
-
The demon, realizing his legs were freezing, stomped viciously, breaking free from the ice.
-
The ice already up his legs continues to creep up... or seems to....
-
(I don't know how to keep contributing... Both of my characters are exhausted)
-
Clare, deciding to run a second charge, dashed up to Korg'ath's leg and started to climb it.
-
Korg'ath suddenly seemed to hold his breath, as his body began to glow.
Cultists, noticing that Ibi was in shock, began to approach, weapons drawn.
-
Clare blinked and reared back a bit from the glow, not really wanting to come in contact with it. As she looked around for some way to help, she looked over at Ibi and, moving quickly, lobbed her sword in a frisbee motion at the cultists, dashing for Ibi as she did so. As soon as she stood near him, she closed her eyes and, all of a sudden, the sword began to aim for the weapons of the cultists, trying to disarm the men and women.
-
Some of the cultists dropped their weapons, while the rest simply held their arms out, letting the sword sever their limbs. The sharpened bone fragments would serve as weapons enough, as the cultists continued towards Ibi.
-
Clare caught the sword as it boomeranged back around to her, opening her eyes and brandishing it towards the cultists. "Come on, guys," she said, grinning. "Can't we play fair?" She stood between them and Ibi.
-
Two of the cultists caught fire suddenly, and rushed Clare.
Korg'ath turned, and roared at Ray. "Quit screwin' around and fight!" He delivered a vicious kick to the raccoon, freeing him from the metal thing.
-
Ibi looked around, fear keeping him pinned to the ground. His eyes were wide and his tail was lashing frantically.
-
Clare raised an eyebrow. "...That answers that," she murmured, quickly engaging the cultists in combat, being careful to not let the flames touch her.
The metal thing was unaffected. It was metal. "Don't ye have any honor, boyo?" the thing growled, running back towards Ray.
The leather things were still hitting Korg'ath.
-
Ray didn't fight back, and simply curled up. He was obviously in an incredible amount of pain.
-
The thing picked him up and held him tightly, running out of Korg'ath's range. "There now... it's alright, boy, it's alright..."
-
Ray just shuddered, unable to speak.
Korg'ath staggered backwards, as the magic finally seemed to deal some damage. He bellowed in pain, before he growled at the obelisk. "Do something!"
-
Nora cried out, spending as much energy as she could spare, loosing another powerful blast of angelic energy at Korg'ath.
-
"You don't sound very sure of your ally," Zephyr's voice said from somewhere. A large gash suddenly appeared in Korg'ash's foot, the sound of a whirring chainsaw coming from all around.
-
Korg'ath again began glowing, but loosed a massive wave of fire around him.
Cultists began to throw themselves at the gash in Korg'ath's foot. The demon's flesh began to patch itself together, as cultists melded with the demon.
-
(I'm heading to bed, don't murder me :P)
-
The armors of leather in the way of the fire seemed to dissipate.
"... That's new," Zephyr's voice said.
-
Suddenly and inexplicably, the shards of the obelisk that were buried in the ground shattered to pieces. Korg'ath blinked, and staggered backwards. "N-No! W-Who?!"
-
(I think I going to leave this rp. I have to many going on and I can barely keep up with the ones I have.)
-
(Aww.... Are you sure?)
"I believe you were probably doomed from the start, sir," the leather armors said, continuing their attacks. "Now shut up and die."
-
Korg'ath, weakened from the onslaught, on top of possessing Ray and starting the summoning spire, collapsed. After a few moments, he dissipated into a gross, tar-like liquid, before dissolving completely.
-
Ibi and Nora were both almost unconscious, laying near each other. Ibi's robe was tightly bound around Nora's belly, but it was quickly going red as she lost more blood...
-
It seemed, for now, everything had calmed down.
Ray looked up at the metal thing, and spoke. "Call....Ronnie."
-
The toxin had seemed to make Raz turn Feral, and as he got up, the drool dripping from his maw was tar-like, and as his belly grumbled, he looked over to the 3 on the ground and began to make his way to then, "Grrrahh...", he was still very weak and could easily be taken down, but was still very dangerous, despite his limp
-
Zephyr suddenly appeared beside the metal thing. "Right away, sir," he murmured, pulling out a phone and dialing Ronnie.
The metal thing walked up to Raz and carefully rendered him unconscious.
Clare, surprisingly still standing, quickly went to Ibi and Nora's sides. "How bad are your wounds?" she asked, bending down to take a look.
-
Ibi was exhausted. He groaned as he rolled onto his back to reveal a shard of the pillar embedded in his leg.
Nora was pale now, her blood loss was quite severe and the robe around her waist was now irreparably soaked with blood.

Ibi was exhausted. He groaned as he rolled onto his back to reveal a shard of the pillar embedded in his leg.
Nora was pale now, her blood loss was quite severe and the robe around her waist was now irreparably soaked with blood.
Clare bit her lip, thinking quickly. "...Let me just sew her up first," she said, gently unwrapping the garment from around Nora's waist.
The leather armor suddenly appeared beside Ibi. "No need, dear, I'll take care of him," she said, examining the shard.
-
Zephyr suddenly appeared beside the metal thing. "Right away, sir," he murmured, pulling out a phone and dialing Ronnie.
The metal thing walked up to Raz and carefully rendered him unconscious.
Clare, surprisingly still standing, quickly went to Ibi and Nora's sides. "How bad are your wounds?" she asked, bending down to take a look.
Raz went our like a light, but in his current state, black ooze slowly dripping room his mouth, the toxin still infecting him, so if awoken again before getting cured, he would be stronger and would try to kill.
But wait... where's Elias? Well, after the whole fight, Elias was summoned to a sort of court in heaven.
Elias stood on a large podium in a marble quartz courtroom. The judge spoke up, "Elias, Limbo keeper. You have been charged with abandoning your post and keeping an individual, who has died multiple times, alive... how do you plead?", Elias tensed up, "By all means, your lordship, but this petty of thing can wait for a further day, if you haven't realized, the-", the judge interrupted Elias, "Silence! If you want to continue to help this mortal, then you too, will become mortal and will not be able to return, however, if you plead guilty, I will overrule the jury and return you to your post... further terms may be discussed later... However, if an angel you know and have fought along, says that you have true rights to fight alongside them and the mortals, then I may consider...", Elias was unsure, and although he knew someone angelic, he doesn't know if they'd plead for his actions, "Would someone with a power equal to the angels work too?", The judge thought for a moment, "I'll allow it...", the audience murmured in response to these actions
-
Ronnie answered his phone. "Hello? Who is this?"
Ray curled up, and laid still.
-
There was a large, crimson stain on Nora's torso, the gash long and deep. It was very clear that it was going to leave a nasty scar, no matter how much Clare did.

"This is Ryhpez," Zephyr replied. "Your brother told me to call you. We seem to have won, but we got pretty torn up." Zephyr himself had not been seriously hurt, but the leather armor looked a little more worn than usual, and the metal thing had a few dents.
Clare bit her lip and pulled out a needle, a thick leather strap, and a spool of surgical thread. "Bite down on this," she said, placing the strap in Nora's mouth. "This is not going to feel good..."
-
Raz groaned and got up, still affected by the toxin, and he pounced at the metal thing, using his wings as extra force to push it down, whilst clawing at it's chest, trying to kill it, "Grahhhh!!!"
-
Nora bit down on the leather strap, though she was faint. Her consciousness began to fade as a small pool formed around her waist.
-
The metal thing hugged Raz, incapacitating him. It was a metal thing. It wasn't too hard to hold feral things.
Clare worked quickly on Nora, sewing up the large gash in her torso/abdomen. "... That's a lot of blood," she murmured, noticing the pool. "Do you think she'll need a transfusion, Ibi?"
The leather armor had already fixed Ibi up.
-
Raz squirmed in the metal thing's grasp, and the looking towards it's head and shooting fire at it.
-
Ibi looked at Nora and sighed. "She's lost a lot of blood, but she's an angel. Shouldn't she heal quickly as long as the wound is sealed?"
-
Ronnie nodded. "Good job, team. We're sending an evac vehicle your way. It'll be a while, and weather forecast in your area suggests a sandstorm's brewing. Hunker down, and wait for rescue."
-
Clare shrugged. "I...I honestly don't know," she said. "I've never seen an angel this badly wounded before..." She finished the last stitches and gently cleaned Nora's abdomen a bit. "...She seems pretty tough, though," the wolf said, examining the cat's features. "She's a lot more muscular than she looks..."
Zephyr sighed. "We'll try... Any place nearby where we could take shelter? We've got some seriously injured people he...Oh, come on!" he murmured, looking over at Raz and the metal thing. "...Also, Raz is kinda... Feral and trying to kill people. But he's restrained right now."
The metal thing. Was. METAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL. And also surprisingly immune to dragon breath.
-
Raz continued to struggle, despite his struggles being futile
-
Ibi stood up and turned towards Raz. "Will you be ok if I go and calm Raz?" He said to Clare, looking back for a moment.
-
Ronnie sighed loudly. "There should be an abandoned village nearby. Go there, don't forget anyone."
-
Clare nodded. "I'll be fine," she said, motioning to the armor. "...Could you prop her up, please?"
The armor got around behind Nora and held her up.
Pulling out a knife, Clare cut away parts of Nora's shirt, then wrapped her waist with bandages and gauze. "...I think she'll pull through."
Zephyr nodded once. "Roger that."
-
Ibi rushed over to Raz and held his head gently, scratching under his chin. "Shh... it's ok. You're safe now..." His eyes darted between the dragon in front of him and the coming storm.
-
Raz's eyes, which had been blackened by the toxin, flashed in and out of being himself and his Feral self, and for the brief moment ad he was in between the mindsets, a growl came out, "Iiibbiii??", his eyes then slowly changed back to fully black.
-
Zephyr briskly walked over to the others after picking up Ray, still on the phone with Ronnie. "We need to get to shelter," he shouted to the others.
Clare looked up as she finished Nora's bandages. "I'm not sure if we can move her...."
-
Ibi nodded. "It's me. You're safe." He kept holding Raz's head, stroking the dragon's chin with a paw. He wasn't sure what was affecting Raz, but he hoped that it would pass before the storm hit.
-
Zephyr padded over to Nora and gently cupped her chin in one hand. "Are you awake?" he asked.
-
Raz was still affected by the toxin, and as he tried to fight his evil side, he jerked his head and coughed up some black guk, it falling onto a small plant that was on the ground and then making the thing die instantly, he then looked back to Ibi, fading back to his evil side, "Hrrreeelllppp..."
-
The wind was beginning to kick up, tossing bits of sand into the air. It wouldn't be long before the sandstorm hit. The village, once occupied by the cultists, now sat abandoned.
-
Ibi's eyes widened as he realised the magnitude of the issue. "I-I don't know how..." He admitted, still holding Raz firmly, but gently.
.
Nora groaned and shifted slightly, but otherwise remained unconscious.
-
Raz's mind was slowly taken over and Raz's gentle and kind visage turning dark and fierce, and soon enough, Raz started to growl at Ibi, however, his glowing soulstone still told that he was in there still, as the darkness in him hadn't consumed the stone as it couldn't.
-
Ibi held Raz still, worried about the dragon's state. He trailed a paw down to Raz's soulstone. "Come on... Come back to us. We need to go, but you need to get better first." The paw he kept on Raz's chin was starting to quiver a bit as his nerves grew.
-
Raz's soulstone pulsed in response, but nothing else happened, besides of that Raz continued to growl and squirm to try and escape.
-
Clare sighed and put Nora's arm over her shoulder. "C'mon, let's get you safe," she murmured, making out for the camp.
The metal thing sighed. "You might want to hurry it up.... The sandstorm's coming."
-
Nora groaned as the pain made her conscious again. She held Clare and stumbled next to her, each step now hard work.
.
Ibi kept holding Raz. "I'm not leaving until this is done, we'll meet you at the shelter." His focus was intense, and his paws were no longer shaking. He didn't want to do anything rash, in case Raz was permanently damaged, but his choices were dwindling in number.
-
A grey portal opened behind Ibi and a relatively naked Elias fell out, he propped himself up and dusted off himself and then looked at Raz, "What the hell!?... **censor** hell!", Elias ran to Ibi and put a hand on her shoulder, "Don't mind me being naked, just listen to me. This sort of thing has happened to Raz before, it took me while to figure out what happened to him before, but all that's wrong with him is that he's become ill with a cold powered by demon germs, it's stupid, yes, but it's true, and what do mortals do when they're sick? **censor** vomit! But for Raz here to vomit, as the demonic bits have denied all bodily functions that aren't vital, we need a special mix, any mix, that has Dragon's Bane in it... Please tell me someone has something?", Elias looked around to the others as he asked, and then back to Ibi, "I'll tell you why I'm like this later, okay?"
-
The wind kicked up harder, whipping the sand with enough force to strip paint from a car. A huge wall of sand was barreling towards the group. It would only take the sandstorm a few minutes to land, and it carried with it enough force to rip flesh from bone.
-
Clare managed to get Nora to the shelter, then peered back out. "Hurry up!" she yelled.
Zephyr paced over as he pulled a bottle from inside his coat and handed it to Elias. "Pour this down his throat," he said. "Quickly. We don't have much time."
The leather armor was helping Ray and anyone else who was not Ibi, Razuel, and Elias into the shelter.
The metal thing stood nearby, ready to grab everyone if the storm got too close.
-
Elias took the bottle and he flicked Raz's nose, causing Raz to roar at Elias, he then hopped up onto Raz's head, to which Raz raised his head up, "Perfect...", Elias uncorked the bottle and poured it into Raz's maw, causing Raz's eyes to go wide, he did swallow the liquid, and he began to violently squirm.
Elias hopped down off of Raz and he started to push the others infront of Raz out of the way, and shortly after, Raz cocked his head back and vomited out a large mass of the toxin in a tar-like liquid, and when finished, Raz looked to Ibi with tearing eyes and heavy breathing, "I-I'm sorry...", Elias then walked up to Raz, "Can you walk?", Raz nodded, and Elias tapped the Metal thing's side, "Alright, you can let him down now..."
-
Ibi's eyes were wide the whole time, he'd had several bad experiences with Dragon's bane and he wasn't about to get anywhere near the stuff. He gagged as the smell invaded his nostrils, and started stumbling to the shelter.
-
The metal thing bundled the three along carefully, followed closely by Zephyr.
Clare kept by Nora for now, and prepared to barricade the shelter from the storm once all were in.
-
Raz stumbled along, falling a few times, and then propping himself against metal thing as he walked, looking down when he looked towards Ibi
-
Ibi was still stumbling along, and he looked back at Raz, giving a reassuring gaze as he stood. The wind caught his wings and he fell, but he stood and carried on beside the other dragon.
-
The sandstorm closed in, tearing the obelisk's construction site apart completely.
-
As soon as they were close enough, Clare helped Ibi and Raz into the shelter, wincing slightly as she began to feel the bruises on her midriff.
The metal thing and Zephyr would come in behind the pair, the metal thing still helping out Raz and Ibi. Then, Zephyr would quickly shut the door.
-
The sandstorm struck just as the door was shut, causing the old wooden door to rattle uncontrollably. It went dark outside, as the storm blocked out the sun.
-
Nora remained unconscious, but her wounds were beginning to heal quicker.
.
Ibi sat near the door, gasping for breath as he tried to keep his adrenaline in check. He was shaking after multiple brushes with death, and he certainly wasn't prepared for another one.
-
Elias walked in before Raz, walking over to a large enough area for Raz to lay down, waving him over to lay down.
Raz looked over to Elias and stumbled over to him, not bothering to curl up, as his exhaustion couldn't call for it, so he just flopped onto the ground, Elias sitting beside him, stroking Raz's head, "How you holding up, bud?", Raz was silent for a few moments, but spoke after a few minutes, "Guilty and tired..."
-
Zephyr stayed at the door for a minute before the metal thing took his place. Then, the cat seemed to sit down by Nora, taking his hat off and sighing deeply.
Clare padded over to Ibi and sat down beside him. "So... How are you holding up?" she murmured, brushing some hair from her eyes.
-
Panting, Ibi gave a halfhearted smile. "Barely." He said, his wings unfolded and limp on the floor behind him.
-
Clare grinned back, wincing slightly and rubbing her bruised midsection. "Well, at least we're alive," she said, looking at Ibi's wings. "...Your wings are hurt?"
-
Ibi turned, then shrugged. "Nah, I'm just exhausted." What he couldn't see was the masses of chafing where his wings had been pressed against his back for too long...
-
Ibi turned, then shrugged. "Nah, I'm just exhausted." What he couldn't see was the masses of chafing where his wings had been pressed against his back for too long...
Clare pulled out her medical kit and got behind Ibi. "Yeah, it's not just exhaustion," she said. "You're chafed like crazy..." The wolf began to clean the chafed areas with some water. "This may sting..."
-
Ray groaned softly and spoke. "I-I can't feel my legs."
-
Ibi's ears perked when he heard Ray. "What? Clare, forget me, take care of Ray!"
-
Ray shook his head. "I-It's not like I'm dying...I'm actually feeling pretty okay in the not dying department. I've been trying to move my legs, but I can't."
-
Clare got up from behind Ibi and walked over to Ray, then poked one of his legs. "Can you feel that?"
-
Ray shook his head. "N-No..."
-
Clare's ears lowered a bit as she poked Ray in the thigh, near the hip. "How about that?"
-
Raz dragged his head across the ground to look at Ibi, him trying to speak and call him over, "I-Ibi..."
-
Ray shook his head. "N-No...I can't."
-
As the air brushed against Ibi's seriously chafed back, he groaned. His ear perked when he heard his name, and he began to crawl over, dragging his wings behind him.
.
Nora turned, still unconscious. The bleeding had slowed, and her wound was beginning to seal over.
-
Raz slowly blinked and laid his arm out for Ibi to guide himself with a better ease, and when Ibi would get to Raz, he'd take him and softly lay him under his soulstone, to which a red sprinkle of sparkling mist started to fall onto Ibi, it easing the pain, but not healing him, all it did was inhibit the pain nerves temporarily.
-
Ibi let out a murr of appreciation as the pain was dulled. His wings flexed a little and he folded them near his back.
-
Raz let out a large sigh and tried to position his head over Ibi's back, letting out his large tongue and using his saliva to sooth the pain for after Ibi would regain the pain when the powder would wear off, "How does that feel?", he said as he briefly stopped the magic to ask him, licking his back again to see how it felt to Ibi, and as he drew back, he enabled the magic again, inhibiting the pain once again.
-
Ibi wasn't used to having a fellow dragon helping him, and his cheeks were bright red. "Feels a little better..." He mumbled.
-
In that case, Raz continued lick the wound, his soft, fleshy tongue gliding along Ibi's back.
-
Still blushing, Ibi wanted to protest but found himself too relaxed to worry about it.
.
Nora seemed to stir for a moment before falling unconscious again.
-
Ray shook his head. "N-No...I can't."
Clare bit her lip. "Shoot," she murmured. "Can you move your arms?"
Zephyr padded over and watched over Nora.
-
Ray nodded, even rolling his fingers. "Y-Yeah...It's just my legs."
-
Nora heaved, but she couldn't roll over. A small trail of bile began to dribble down her cheek as she started shivering, her skin going deathly cold. It seemed that the demon had managed to hit her core hard enough that her angelic nature couldn't entirely fight back.
-
Raz kept licking Ibi's back, stopping to see a red hue on his face, "Are you okay, Ibi?"
-
"Y-yeah... just never had this done before..." Ibi said, still rather embarrassed.
-
Raz still sounded concerned, "Was I hurting you, Ibi?"
-
Zephyr grimaced and, hearing Clare's words, motioned at the metal thing.
The metal thing walked over to Clare. "I can care for him, lass... Deal with the angel," it said, gently kneeling beside Ray.
Clare, confused, got up and walked over to Nora nonetheless. "...Oh, GEEZ," she said, noting Nora's condition.
-
Some of Nora's fur began to go grey as her body continued to fight the losing battle against the demonic essence. She began to sweat and shiver.
.
"N-no." Ibi said. He was still in pain, but it was mostly of his own doing anyway.
-
Raz looked over to Nora and saw her shiver, "Ibi... can you walk?"
-
Ibi got up onto his knees. "I can crawl, not sure about walking though. I'm absolutely exhausted."
-
Raz slowly got up, his muscles groaning with him as he moved, and once he got up he looked down at Ibi and made a motion to follow as he walked over to Nora.
-
The sandstorm began to lighten up, but still proved dangerous.
Ronnie's voice chimed in over Ray's cellphone. "I've dispatched the Crawler, it'll be near your position in about an hour. Hang in there, guys and gals."
Ray sighed, his will nearly broken, and simply closed his eyes. The raccoon was both livid and disappointed in himself.
-
(Can we have a Halloween event in this RP?))
-
(( Not sure what the event will be, but by all means go ahead! ))
-
Maybe like the headless horseman or something like that))
-
((Sounds good.))
-
Some of Nora's fur began to go grey as her body continued to fight the losing battle against the demonic essence. She began to sweat and shiver.
.
"N-no." Ibi said. He was still in pain, but it was mostly of his own doing anyway.
The metal thing leaned forward, touching Ray. "Worry not, lad," it murmured. "If you don't mind my precense, I may have a temporary solution."
Clare bit her lip. "Crap... er... Let me try something," she said, gently placing her hands on Nora's wound. "If I start to pass out, stop me...." Closing her eyes, the wolf began to slowly breath in and out, aiming to force the essence our of Nora's body... or to pull it into herself.
Zephyr watched calmly.
-
Ibi watched with a curiosity he couldn't explain as the demonic essence was pulled from Nora's body. The feline's fur began to show its original colour again as Clare did what she did.
-
Clare gritted her teeth slightly as she felt the essence entering her, but kept at it, not letting up for a second. "H..Halfway... there...."
-
Ray shrugged. "I don't m-mind you, metal friend. W-What's your plan?"
-
"Oh, nothing much," it replied. "I'm just gonna let you wear me for a bit, boyo."
-
Nora coughed once as her body began to fight back as well, assisting Clare with removing the last traces of demon from her body.
.
Ibi was still watching in fascination as he reached out slowly, not quite touching but hovering his paw over Clare's back. "If you can't handle it, just put some of the demon into me. I can try to control it."
-
Clare bit her lip, her body tense as she continued to draw the demon energy out. "H..Help would be great," she said through gritted teeth.
-
Ibi held out his paws and rested them on Clare's. "Send the demon into me. I can handle it, trust me."
-
Ibi held out his paws and rested them on Clare's. "Send the demon into me. I can handle it, trust me."
Clare shot Ibi a look, but did as he said, channeling what she couldn't handle into him. "...All of it?" she asked.
-
Ray furrowed his brow. "That s-sounds...w-wrong."
-
Ibi grunted as the demon fought for control. His own demon was fighting back, however, and despite his eyes going pitch-black, he remained sane and lucid.
-
Raz eventually made it over to Nora, but redirected his attention to Ibi, holding them still so that he wouldn't hurt anyone.
-
Ibi began shivering and sweating, but he continued to fight. Having a demon fight a demon within him was exhausting, and it was taking everything he had to avoid destroying everything.
.
Nora's eyes fluttered open, and she looked up at Clare. "Y-you... Why?" She seemed very conflicted, as if she had been told previously that working with mortals was a bad thing.
-
The metal thing shook his head. "Don't fret, dear boy," he replied. "It'll be just like wearin' body armor. Besides, it's not like I could mess with ya anyhow." The thing seemed to glance at Zephyr. "... I'd be in trouble if I did that. But if it really bothers you that much, I could just keep ya on your feet from the break down."
Zephyr, who had been silent, pulled out a bible and started to quietly perform an exorcism to remove the last of the bad essence from Nora.
Clare took a deep breath, her body shaking and her head hanging between her arms. Slowly, she raised her head up, then opened her eyes and flashed Nora a tense grin. "W...Why am I helping you, you mean?" she replied, her body tense and her fur beaded with sweat. She was clearly not transfering all of the demon to Ibi.
-
Ibi shuffled across and huddled next to Clare, they would fight this demon together if they had to.
.
Nora sighed as she felt her body become pure once again.She looked up at Clare and nodded, "My superiors told me mortals are only interested in themselves, never helping others..."
-
Ibi shuffled across and huddled next to Clare, they would fight this demon together if they had to.
.
Nora sighed as she felt her body become pure once again.She looked up at Clare and nodded, "My superiors told me mortals are only interested in themselves, never helping others..."
Clare tched, her grin widening despite the clear pressure she was under. "Well, can't say that much about mortals," she said, feeling the last of the essence begin to leave Nora. "But your superiors?" She shook her head, chuckling in a very strained manner. "...They need to stop generalizing."
-
Nora purred softly. "Well, thank you for saving me. I owe you my life. Perhaps, I can make this fight you're having a little easier. She held her paw on Clare's shoulder and began to chant an ancient hymn. Angelic energy swirled around her paw as it began to fight the demon too.
-
Zephyr quickly switched his focus to Clare, reading the exorcism towards her now.
As Nora chanted the hymn, Clare could feel the angelic power starting to drive the essence from her. "....I..Ibi," she muttered, relaxing ever so slightly. "Slowly... give the demon.... Give the demon back to me...."
-
Ibi smiled. "But I've already fought it off." His paw rested on her other shoulder. "Give me some more if you can't contain it."
-
Ibi smiled. "But I've already fought it off." His paw rested on her other shoulder. "Give me some more if you can't contain it."
Clare shook her head, quickly putting something between her teeth and biting down hard as a purple aura formed around her body. "I... Don't worry, Ibi... I...I've got this!" she screamed, the top half of her body suddenly blasting backwards as the essence blossomed upwards into a whirling, but harmless, cyclone of energy. As the others watched, the dark parts of the cyclone quickly became the same color as Clare's eyes, which were glowing like miniature searchlights as she sat there on her knees, her arms spread wide. After what seemed like forever, the cyclone, now purple, slowly swirled back into Clare's body through her mouth, chest, eyes, and navel, the sound a cacophany of energy whose absence rang as loud as a thunderclap. As the winds around Clare died down and the last bit of energy flowed into her, her eyes slowly closed, her body slowly relaxing into her prior kneeling state. She then immediately keeled forward.
-
Ibi held Clare's hair back, concerned for her after the sudden display of energy. "A-are you ok?" He asked, concerned.
.
Nora had jumped back and hissed, surprised by the outburst too. Her tail was bushy and her wings unfolded, giving her a threatening stance.
-
Clare was silent for a couple moments, save a few hard gasps of air. Then, slowly, she turned her head and opened one eye at Ibi and Nora, her lips spreading in a grin. "I will be," she murmured, panting softly. "Just... Just give me a moment or two.... That was strong stuff."
Zephyr put his Bible away and went back to watching the door.
-
Ibi seemed a little worried, he rubbed Clare's back reassuringly as she recovered. He was also concerned that the sandstorm hadn't let up yet. There was a small pile of sand at the door where it had gotten in, and he wasn't sure how long it was going to last.
-
Clare flushed slightly at Ibi's touch, but began to murr not long after, glad for his presence.
Zephyr leaned softly against the door, holding it closed as much as he could.
-
Nora calmed down slowly, and padded over to Zephyr. "Do you need some help?"
.
Ibi kept holding Clare, until he was sure she was ok. His cheeks were tinted slightly pink, but that didn't stop him rubbing her back.
-
Ray nodded. "D-Do what y-you think is necessary."
-
Zephyr looked at the angel briefly, his eyes currently blue. "Yes, please," he replied, continuing to hold the door closed.
Nodding, the metal thing touched Ray's hand. Seconds later, a liquid metal began to coat Ray's body, running slowly up his arm.
Clare stayed that way for a few more minutes as she recovered, breathing softly. She seemed to be in slight pain, but not threatening pain.
-
Nora leaned against the door as well. "Feels like we're not even halfway through..." She seemed troubled.
.
Ibi kept holding and rubbing Clare's back. "Need me to help you up?" He asked.
-
Zephyr shrugged. "You're probably right," he said. "How's your gut?"
Clare nodded. "Y..yeah... I'm finally feeling the gunshot wounds, I suppose," she murmured, grinning up at Ibi.
-
"Better than it was..." Nora's ears twitched. She appreciated the help that she received, but she was still too proud to admit it.
"So how long have you been with this crew?"
.
"Gunshot wounds?!" Ibi didn't want to appear too frantic, but he was scanning Clare's body as much as he could for wounds.
-
Zephyr looked throughtful for a moment. "...Maybe a month," he replied, swishing his tail thoughtfully. "I'd been doing work like this beforehand, though."
The wolf did not seem to be shot anywhere. However, her belly and sides were covered with several circular bruises.
-
Nora's tail twitched. "I've been doing this sort of thing for years, searching for and taking down pillars is my speciality. This one was particularly bad though; I don't normally meet the cultists at them."
.
Ibi's paw gently massaged each bruise. If there were the right resources on hand, he would have made a lotion to soothe the pain. Alas, their shelter didn't seem to have what he needed, so he settled for simple comfort.

Ibi's paw gently massaged each bruise. If there were the right resources on hand, he would have made a lotion to soothe the pain. Alas, their shelter didn't seem to have what he needed, so he settled for simple comfort.
Zephyr nodded slowly and touched the weird metal scar under his left eye. "I see," he said. "Well, you might get a cool scar from it." He glanced over at Nora, then looked at the ground for a moment.
Clare winced at Ibi's touch, but slowly became overpowered by the feeling of the massage and simply lay there. She murred deeply, enjoying the sensation. "Thanks," she murmured, swishing her tail.
The wolf's fur was very soft to the touch. However, the body underneath it was clearly very strong, even while badly bruised. Furthermore, on closer inspection, Clare could be seen to have scars on her solar plexus and a couple around her belly button. Also, she seemed to have a small hernia in her navel, but that seemed rather stable.
-
The encampment began to shake and rumble, as the Crawler Ronnie dispatched arrived. It's horn blared, the deep moaning could be heard for miles.
-
Raz perked up, "Is that another demon?"
-
Nora braced herself. "What was that?" Her face was stern, but her tail was very bushy...
.
Ibi wanted to keep inspecting her wounds, but he was too distracted by the horn. He smiled softly and looked up at Clare. "Sounds like we made it."
-
A strange metal suit now encased all but Ray's head. Slowly, Ray seemed to stand up.
Zephyr pricked his ear up. "I believe that's our ride," he said, glancing at Nora. He grinned. "No need to be frightened."
Clare grinned at Ibi, swishing her tail. "So it seems," she murred. "Well, let's get up."
-
Ray blinked. "T-This is...weird."
There was a loud hiss, as the Crawler's hydraulic ramp dropped to the ground.
-
Ray blinked. "T-This is...weird."
There was a loud hiss, as the Crawler's hydraulic ramp dropped to the ground.
"Ye'll get used to it, laddie," the metal thing's voice said from somewhere. "Now that you're up, why don't you tell me where to be goin'?"
-
Nora's tail was still bushy, but she relaxed a little. "I'm guessing you rang for a taxi or something." She smirked.
.
Ibi nodded and stood up, offering a paw to Clare. His cheeks were a little red, for an unknown reason.

Zephyr shrugged. "Or something," he said, pulling his hat on.
Clare took Ibi's paw and stood up, only stumbling slightly. "Heh... That exorcism really took a lot out of me," she said, grinning widely at Ibi.
-
Nora chuckled. She didn't have any head protection, so she simply closed her eyes.
.
"So that's what it was..." Ibi muttered. He held Clare up, making sure she wasn't about to faceplant.
-
Nora chuckled. She didn't have any head protection, so she simply closed her eyes.
.
"So that's what it was..." Ibi muttered. He held Clare up, making sure she wasn't about to faceplant.
Clare nodded, looking over at Ibi. "I'll be fine... though I don't mind being held," she murred, grinning playfully at Ibi, teasing him a little.
-
Ray furrowed his brow. "This is strange. But, we're headed for the Crawler."
-
"Alright, laddie," the metal thing said, manipulating Ray's body so that Ray started to walk to the Crawler.
-
Ibi's face became so red that the heat from his burning cheeks could be felt from half a foot away. He tried to say something, but he ended up just stuttering an incoherent mess.
-
The wolf chuckled and kissed Ibi on the nose. "Let's get going," she said, swishing her tail softly. "We can hang out once we're back at... wherever your base is."
Zephyr gently attempted to pull Nora close and drape part of his jacket over her, helping to guide her to the Crawler if she let him.
-
Ibi froze, completely stunned by the kiss Clare planted on his nose. He looked around, making sure no one else saw them. His head spun as he turned towards the exit, but his feet wouldn't budge.
.
Nora huddled under Zephyr's jacket, wrapping her arms around his midsection. "Not a word of this to the others." She muttered, barely audible enough for him to hear.
-
Raz would assist each of them to the crawler, despite his physical body being a bit weak from the fight a while ago, but he did notice Nora and Zephyr, to which he gave a chuckle, "Come on... you two...", there was a rasp is Raz's speaking... probably needs some water... Come to think of it, Raz hasn't eaten since he met the group... but dragons have a longer endurance compared to the other species... besides that though, he's probably needing both liquid and solid.
-
Ray boarded the Crawler, and took a seat. He sighed quietly, and spoke to the armor-being allowing him to walk. "So...what's your deal? Like, where are you from? I've never read about anything like you."
-
Nora's face went bright red as the others noticed her immediately, but she stayed huddled under Zephyr's jacket as they went to the crawler. "I'm trusting you..." She muttered as her grip tightened slightly.
-
As everyone boarded, the Crawler began to button all of it's hatches and windows, as another storm began to brew.
-
Zephyr grunted slightly, his cheeks turning a slight shade of pink as he and Nora walked to the crawler. "I promise," he said.
"Heh.... that's a wee bit of a long story, my boy," the metal thing said. "You'll have to wait until the three of us are together, though."
Clare, with Raz's aid, walked with Ibi onto the crawler and got herself strapped in before helping him. "You okay?" she asked, grinning widely.
-
Raz, after helping them all onto the crawler, gave a slight smile with a very tired expression towards Clare, not knowing if they were asking him, "I'm... fine...", he then fell to his side and onto the floor of the crawler, physically incapable of getting up. The black colour of Raz's scales seemed to become a slightly lighter hue around his face, along with thick droplets of sweat going on his brow; Raz had received some sort of exhaustion induced fever, but simply this would've just been heavy exhaustion, but it seemed as though the black sludge from earlier that caused him to go feral, was trying to hurt him from within by making him sick.
Raz laid on the floor groaning from a slight pain in his chest and stomach.
-
Medics deployed on the Crawler quickly carried Raz to one of the med-bays, and began trying to ease his pain.
Ray nodded. "Whenever we get you and your kin together, then will you tell me?"
-
The illness was being treated effectively, but on top of that, Raz hadn't been looking after himself further as he needed water and food, however, all of that would be useless as he would just vomit it all back up.
Raz continued to groan from the pain, but would be fine either way.
-
The medics began running a nutrient IV to Raz, making sure to be ready for any sort of expulsion.
-
Raz didn't notice the needle go in but soon after he leaned his head to the side of the table he was on, "Gurk. Grahhh!", and with that he started to vomit up stomach bile, and some of the black sludge from before. He stopped puking fairly quickly and his chest started to rise and fall quickly when he put his head back to what position it was before.
-
Ibi sat next to Clare, strapping himself in and holding out a paw. He had come to the conclusion that he hated transport in general, and he could really use the moral support right now.
.
Nora opened her eyes and emerged from Zephyr's jacket as soon as she felt the wind weaken - a telltale sign that they were inside. Her face was bright red, but she seemed fairly well composed after being effectively pressed against his torso.
-
Zephyr was about the same, but he was hiding his face with his hat a bit.
Raising an eyebrow, Clare took Ibi's paw and held it firmly. "...Not one for vehicles?" she asked.
-
The Crawler, once everyone boarded, began its journey back to the outpost. Another sandstorm kicked up, but hardly moved the machine.
-
After a little while, Raz fell asleep from the immense exhaustion.
-
The Crawler's journey was long and arduous, but the machine eventually reached the outpost. Everyone was allowed to relax and recuperate as they needed. The people there catered to their every need.
-
After Raz was treated and they found out what was wrong with him, it was simply a heavy fever, do they just had him lay down and stay still, also, most of the black sludge was removed, and as of this moment, there was no way of telling how much more was still left.
-
Clare helped Ibi inside, seeming oddly better despite the several bruises on her body.
Zephyr helped Nora in, still hiding his face with his hat.

(I'm think about rejoining this rp...and have to start a new character again. T_T )
