A Fantasy RP (You know, with demons, vampires, and who knows what else!!!) Part 44

You aren't watching where you are going and you bump into the back of an immortal. You let out a small squeak of surprise and say, "I'm sorry. I really SHOULD start watching where I'm going." The immortal turns around and your breath gets caught in your throat when you see who it is. "No, it was my fault entirely," he says sarcastically. "But how?" you manage to let out. Mitch smirks and says, "You seriously think you can get rid of me that easily? Oh no, miss. No you cannot." His arm liquifies, dangling at his side. Banning pushes you out of the way as Mitch's arm shoots to where you were standing. *Really. How much damage can water do?* "Look at the wall, fool," you hear the beast say. You turn around and see a big piece of the solid stone wall is missing. "Oh gods..." you say. "Are you okay?" Banning asks you. You look at him and see that he is bleeding rather badly, yet he doesn't seem to realize it. "Yeah. Are you?" you ask. He looks at you curiously, as if he hasn't the slightest idea of what you're talking about. "You're losing blood. Fast," you inform him, utterly amazed. A line of blood flows from the top of his head, across his eyelid, and to his lips. "So I am," he says casually. He turns around to Mitch and says, "Leave her be. I am sure her father will want me just as much as her." You look at Banning, now thoroughly surprised and confused. Mitch gives Banning the same look. "Why?" he asks suspiciously. "Go, now," Banning whispers to you. "Find the others and meet me at the stables." You nod and run off. "Hey!" Mitch calls after you. There is a bright flash of light, but you do not look back. You see Kanto, grab him, and keep running. "Kanto, find everyone and tell them to meet up at the stables," you order. Kanto nods, ducks into a hallway, and moments later, a large, black Akita-ken runs out, sniffing the air. "Alright, good," you thnk out loud. You hear a loud explosion and hear, "Give up already. Your air bombs hold no effect." *That's gonna be Yara.* You run in the direction the voice has come from and soon face the backs of what seems like hundreds of government officials. They are all facing one target. Yara. In full war gear. *What the hell has she gotten herself into?!?* "Give up," says the voice again. You see it belongs to an immortal who is standing a few feet in front of you. She is completely oblivious of you, so you make a snap decision. You form a silver dagger, sneak up behind her, and hold it to her throat. She immediately tenses up. Yara looks at you and you see so much relief in her face. She mouths her thanks before collapsing to the floor. "Call back your ranks. Now," you order, looking at the other immortals. They all look exactly like the woman you are threatening. "Return," she commands. The other immortals turn into what can be described as gold vapor. This vapor is then inhaled by the immortal you are holding the knife to. "Tricky tricky," she says slyly. She goes limp and you, taken by surprise, let go of her. The shadows around her limp, doll-like body creep to life and crawl over her, making her a three dimensional shadow. She stands up and walks away. "What the hell?" you ask. "My dear," says a chilling voice, "she is mine now. Mine to control. Have fun with the rest of the officials." You look around for Blake, but do not see him. "Imbecile. He was never here. He used the shadows," the beast tells you. *Alrighty then. You're actually quite helpful, despite your anger issues...* You run to Yara and kneel at her side. You flip her onto her back and uncover her face. Her eyes stare at you blankly. You close them, getting creeped out. You touch her wrist and feel a pulse. "What has happened to you?" you ask her, knowing you won't get an answer. You walk out of the empty hallway, carrying Yara.
So much action... And where the hell is everyone?!
*Wait. If I met up with Mitch after Cullen and Lucifer did...* You begin to worry. Knowing that it is important to get to them quickly, you unfurl your wings. *Please, PLEASE be okay.* You soar above the fighting immortals, scanning the masses for any signs of anyone you know. You see the familiar black Akita-ken being chased by a few officials. *He isn't going to face them?* You throw Yara onto your back, form a silver gun, and shoot the immortals chasing Kanto. He barks and continues on his way. *Where are they?* You look around but cannot spot Cullen or Lucifer. You feel Yara slip on your back. You reach back to hold her in your arms again, but she isn't there. You look to the ground again and see Yara falling. *Damn it!* You nose-dive for her, but know you will not catch her in time. Then, just before she hits the ground, she diappears. *What the hell happened?* You pull up just in time to avoid crashing into the ground. Unfortunately, an official has seen you and shouts, pointing at you, "Look! There she is!" Immediately, all enemy eyes turn to you. "Damn," you utter. "Collapse!" you hear. The floor underneath most of the officials caves in, sending them down into the depths of the basement. You spot Lucifer and spiral to the ground near him. "Thanks for that," you say, walking towards him. "Don't mention it," he says, shaking, trying to draw a circle on his arm. He tries walking toward you, but ends up falling. Just before he hits the ground, you catch him. You realize he is unconscious. *Damn it. I had to ask him about Mitch. Where's Cullen?* You look around and spot Banning, who is dripping with blood. "Oh my gods!" you shout, placing Lucifer gently on the ground and running up to Banning. "Bane, what's happened to you?" you ask. "I don't know. I don't think anything. Why?" he asks, acting casual. But you can tell that something is definitely wrong because his eyes do not seem to focus. "Bane, sit down," you say slowly, trying to stay calm. "I feel fine," he says. He then spots Lucifer. "Lucifer, right? What's happened to him?" he asks softly. "He'll be fine. He's lost too much blood, so he's unconscious, but we need to get you help first, because you're in WAY worse shape than he is. Which is surprising, because you haven't passed out yet..." you answer. Banning walks past you, kneels next to Lucifer, and Banning begins to radiate a soft, white light. He gently lays a hand over Lucifer's heart, and Lucifer's wounds slowly heal. He coughs and Banning removes his hand. Lucifer opens his eyes and quickly sits up. "Who are you?" he asks suspiciously. "Luc, relax. Bane just saved your life," you explain. "Jeeze. Thanks, Bane, is it? You should really save yourself, though," Lucifer says. "There is no reason I am perfectly fine and capable of living," Banning says, standing up. You see the puddle of blood where Banning sat moments before. You rush to his side and say, "Bane, no, you're not okay. If you won't heal yourself, let someone else." Banning shakes his head. "I don't need to be healed. I'm fine, really," Banning says. Lucifer walks up behind you, behind Banning and gives you a knife. "Cut me. I'll heal him. If I can find a piece of him that isn't covered in blood, that is," he says. You nod, take the knife, and look at Banning. You take his hand and clean it with your shirt as a wave of nausea passes over you. "What are you doing?" Banning asks, turning to you as you take the knife and cut Lucifer's thumb, making it bleed slightly. "Nice and delicate. Very thoughtful," he says, smiling. Lucifer takes Banning's hand, draws a circle, places his thumb in the middle, and Banning says, "It is of no use. You will only harm yourself." You and Lucifer both look at Banning, very curious. "Why is that?" you finally ask. "I don't deserve it. Anyways, it wouldn't matter if you heal me or keep me in this condition," Banning explains. "Why?" Lucifer asks. Banning looks away from the two of you. "Did you hear that?" he asks. You strain your ears and hear a faint bark. "Damn it! It's Kanto!" you say, running off in the direction it's coming from. "Luc, Bane, let's get a move on. Stick with me or we'll just meet up at the stables later," you order. "Actually, I'm going on ahead," you say, as the barking becomes louder and quicker. You unfurl your wings and fly off.
Banning.... Oh my gods....
*Please be okay.* There is an intense pain in your left wing. You look at it and see that it has somehow torn. You continue to fly, but make yourself land, due to the fact that your wing is torn and throwing you off. You run and hear another bark. "Kanto, I'm coming!" you shout. You then slip on something and fall to the ground, hitting your chin, hard. *Damn.* You look to see what you have slipped on and find a puddle of water. "What the hell?" you ask. The puddle transforms into Mitch. "I thought Banning got rid of you!" you shout in surprise. Mitch smirks and says, "He tried. He almost got me, too. But I was able to escape just in time. Now, you see, I couldn't die, leaving you all alone for some other government official to nab and get the credit for your capture." "You bastard," the beast growls. *STOP IT!!!* "You need me! You're a pathetic weakling!" it says, masking your voice with its own. "Inner demons, hmmm?" Mitch asks, still smirking. "Shut up, Mitch!" you warn. "Or what? Are you going to hurt me? You can't touch me!" he taunts. You can no longer hold back the beast. It emerges in its physical form. "Maybe she can't touch you, but I know how to get rid of you. Once and for all," it growls. Mitch raises an eyebrow, obviously interested. The beast begins to chant some spell, but you can't quite understand it. Mitch is overcome by fear. "Please! Don't! I'd rather die and go to hell! Please!" he pleads. Nevertheless, the beast continues. Mitch's arm shoots out at the beast, but it is too quick and the watery arm shoots into the wall. When the beast says its last word of the chant, Mitch stays still. It looks like he isn't even breathing. Soon, an extremely large vortex opens right behind him, beginning to pull him in. Out of the vortex steps an immortal, well over nine feet tall. She is dressed in a gray gown, its hood up. She reaches down, picks up Mitch, and returns through the vortex, which closes seconds later. *What was that?* "I sent him to limbo. Where he cannot live or die. He deserves your pity," it says sadistically. *Oh gods...* It walks in the direction your friends are. *What are you doing? I thought you killed whatever was in your path, not focusing on certain things.* The beast lets out a wicked laugh and says, "That was before, when you had more power, when you were holding me back more. I couldn't think properly then. But now..." You hear the loud barking again. *I have to save Kanto!* You struggle with the beast to regain control of your body. "Stay down!" it growls. It begins to run and you soon see, though its eyes, Lucifer and Banning, back to back, fighting off the government officials. "Of course, if people DO get between me and my target, they will suffer," the beast says. It barely touches an official and he is sent flying, hitting the wall with a sickening crack. The beast looks at the poor immortal. His head has split open and he is not recognizable. He lays against the wall, lifeless, his limbs in positions impossible for any living being. "For you to get an idea of how much powerful I am," the beast says. If you had control of your body, you probably would have thrown up. *Who are you going after?* The beast looks at Lucifer and Banning. *No! You can't!" "Correction. YOU can't. I can. I have no morals, no ethics. I need to get these pesky friends of yours out of the way," it says, stalking its prey. *Why? Out of the way of what?* "Do you remember the first time I came into my physical form? Cody was the one to strengthen you. If I were to eliminate your friends, you would become so helpless that I could take over for good," it says. *Oh my gods...* "So you realize that they will suffer," it says excitedly. *You're sick.* "My dear, YOU are sick. I am you," it says. It taps Lucifer on the shoudler and he turns to it. "Luc, run!" you say, managing to break through the beast's hold for a fleeting moment. He looks at the beast curiously. "Is that you?" he asks. You want to scream, but the beast has regained its control. It gently pushes Lucifer to the side and he falls to the ground a few yardsa away, inches from the wall. *Thanks the gods...* "Don't thank them yet. I'm not done with him," it says. It laughed its wicked laugh and looks down at Lucifer. *I'm so sorry, Luc.* You try not to look, but the beast won't let you. The metal claws on its hands grow longer. It jams its right claws into Lucifer's left arm. Lucifer screams in agonizing pain as the claws come out the other side of his arm and stick into the wall. His arm is pinned. He cannot run. You think that this is the beasts plan, to kill him while he cannot escape, but it looks at the wound it has just created. It removes its claws from Lucifer's arm and stares at them. You wish that Lucifer could do something while the beast is distracted, but know that he is too weak. The beast stares at its claws for a few more moments, then says, "This is Atlantean blood." It licks its claws and looks at Lucifer. "Very sweet," it says wickedly. Lucifer cannot move, either because of his intense fear, or because of his intense pain. Maybe a little of both. The beast raises its claws and is about to strike, but it looks over its shoulder instead. You see Banning. "Release her, demon," he says calmly. "What do you think you're going to do?" it spits. "You're nothing but a fallen angel. You're impure. You cannot possibly get rid of me." *Bane...* He raises his right hand and it begins to radiate a soft, white light. This light forms an orb and he says, "Dissolve into her, or I will make you. And you won't like it." "Oh, now I'm scared," it says sarcastically. The orb in Banning's hand has grown quite large now. Seconds pass and the orb shoots out of his hand, becoming a beam. This awesome beam of light hits the beast square in the chest. You begin to feel yourself taking control again. "What?!" the beast screams. "Impossible!" When the beam stops, you are yourself again. "Oh gods..." you mutter. You turn around to Lucifer, who is shaking. "Oh gods!" you shout. You rush to his side and he flinches. *He's afraid of me? Oh gods...* Banning walks up to Lucifer, kneels beside him and whispers in his ear. Lucifer looks at Banning, an expression of relief on his face. "Seriously?" he asks. He coughs and blood splashes on the floor and a little on Banning. "Sorry," Lucifer says, smiling weakly. He closes his eyes and Banning says softly, "Friend, you are wanted in the afterlife. Go in peace." "No! Not yet! Luc!" you shout, pulling him into a gentle hug, not letting go. "Luc, don't go! You've got to fight it! Heal yourself. Here, I'll draw the circle," you say, crying. You take his right thumb and drag it through his blood. You use it to draw a circle on his neck and you place his thumb in the center. "Now all you have to do is say 'heal,'" you say, smiling sadly, still crying. "I can't," he says, looking at you. You see his eyes becoming dim. "You have to. Come on," you plead. "No. I've cheated death too many times. I've lived a good life," he says. He closes his eyes once more. "Bane, you need to help him!" you shout. Banning shakes his head slowly. He then says, "It is his choice if he doesn't want to be healed, then I cannot heal him." "But what about your brother?!" you shout. "Tussle?" Lucifer says weakly, hsi eyes still closed. "Yeah. You still need to see him. You can't die without seeing him again, you know?" you says softly, tears still trickling down your cheeks. "Heal," he says. You smile as Lucifer's left arm begins to heal, as well as the small nicks. Once he is fully healed, you wrap your arms around him in a fierce hug. Lucifer laughs. Seconds later, you hear a loud howl. You release Lucifer and jump up. "Let's save Kanto now, okay?" you ask. You help Lucifer up and he and Banning are running right behind you as you run to help Kanto out.
Phew. That was a close one... (me: You're not kidding! I thought Luc was a goner for sure!)
Wow. That was super intense. Well, I thought so. I actually thought I was going to kill off Lucifer. Jeeperz... Wonder where everyone else is... Especially Yara. What the hell happened with her?
