"You need a hand Scruffy?"
Kain looked at the raging ogre.
"Give me a moment." Kain picked up a lamp, and chucked it at the ogre, striking him on the head. He used the temporary confusion to sprint up, drive his hands, palms together into his leg at the knee. He began pulling his hands apart with all his strength, ripping a hole into it, then severing his leg at the knee. He began to stomp on its head with all his strength. When he was finished he turned to Azkar
"I'm fine. What do you want to do about Richard?"

 

[Azkar Almsivi]

Azkar shrugged, throwing Kain her phone. "You better call it in, I couldn't catch everything due to the snake." Azkar went over to her case and pulled out some leggings and boots. She pulled on the leggings then did up her new footwear. "Are you able to track them or something?" Azkar asked as she got her handbag and other assorted stuff together, she lay them next to her case and pulled a tactical vest out of it, which went over her shirt and under her jacket. It was already kitted up and she quickly slung her submachine gun and strapped a holster high on her thigh with her pistol in it under her skirt. Once she felt thoroughly equipped she jammed her bag in her case and shoved it next to Richard's leftover belongings on a clean patch of floor. "Can you page them back to HQ? We can't carry it all."

Azkar then heard sirens wailing in the distance. She grabbed the snake and began dragging it over to the ogre. "Better hurry, it's about to get complicated."

"I've got something here Isaac. This demon saw a couple of scientists, one fat guy with brown hair, name of Phalus, the other was an athletic looking man, had eyes and hair just like yours, Phalus only ever called him Master, think he's a relative of yours?"

"No. All of my family is dead," Isaac said with hardly a trace of emotion. He seemed too absorbed with trying to figure out how to work the console to release the girl.

"He...could very well be the other specter you told me about. I'd have to get a good look at him for myself"

"So, Isaac, you last name is Specter, correct? Also, describe your occupation in detail, please."

Isaac taped on a few keys and stared into the monitor.

"Haha! Okay. I found her vital signs. Now I just need to unhook her. Um. Yeah. Specter. I'm a supernatural investigator. I look into weird stuff whenever it happens. Why do you ask? Did you find something?"

 

[deathbydeath]

"Haha! Okay. I found her vital signs. Now I just need to unhook her. Um. Yeah. Specter. I'm a supernatural investigator. I look into weird stuff whenever it happens. Why do you ask? Did you find something?"

"Yes and no. By "detail" I don't mean ""weird stuff". I mean "What exact kind of tasks do you do", and "Who exactly have you worked with recently?" Also, it wouldn't hurt you to tell me exactly how old you are, and exactly how you know the last name of "Pertition".

Aaron made no attempt to hide the aggression in his voice.

"Because if you are anything but exact in how you answer my questions, you might find yourself kissing lead soon."

 

[Shadowstar38]

"Yes and no. By "detail" I don't mean ""weird stuff". I mean "What exact kind of tasks do you do", and "Who exactly have you worked with recently?" Also, it wouldn't hurt you to tell me exactly how old you are, and exactly how you know the last name of "Pertition".

Isaac didn't want to break his concentration on what he was doing, but the girl wouldn't be any more harmed than what she was, and something seemed really wrong with Aaron.

He looked over at him with his full attention.

"I don't work for anyone but myself. Adriana helps me out but that's about the only person I bother bringing with me anywhere. Whenever I here rumors of something supernatural, ghost, demons, whatever, I go to the source of it and check it out. Then I make sure it doesn't harm anyone. It's usually never the same thing twice"

Isaac stopped to think for another moment.

"Yeah. Pertittion. It just sounded familiar is all. What's all this about exactly?"

 

[Ruedyn]

"You better call it in, I could catch everything due to the snake."
Kain sighed, but called. On about the third ring, she spoke again.
"Are you able to track them or something?"
"Yes, the ogre smells bad enough for me to track him a continent away. Should be simple." He heard sirens in the background.
"Better hurry, it's about to get complicated."
"Let me." He tossed her the phone back, picking up the snake and grabbing the ogre by the neck. He climbed out the window and to the roof. Difficult, but possible. He then threw the bodies over, and climbed back down, completely human.
"They are now a fine paste. The hotel can take a lower rating. We have extra time."

 

[Azkar Almsivi]

"I was going to leave the bodies to freak out the cops, but whatever." Azkar put the call through, hanging up on them after a few seconds. "They really expect me to sit on the phone and give details? Pfft." She snatched the pager and warped their stuff back to D.I.C.E HQ. "How are we supposed to follow whatever they were in? I didn't even see what it was."

Strangely, Azkar wasn't worried, she wasn't really feeling anything, rescuing Richard and getting the 'bad guys' just seemed like the natural thing to do. Plus he was the one with all the money.

 

[Ruedyn]

Kain looked down and realized his blanket was no longer on him.
"Um, what should I do about this?" he asked, attempting to cover himself.

 

[Azkar Almsivi]

"Oh come on Kain, this is why nobody takes you anywhere. Hurry up." Azkar wasn't really in the mood. She stepped out the window and dropped down, turning and grabbing onto the window. She then dropped onto a ledge and began making her way down the side of the building. Kain shouldn't be too far behind, surely.

 

[deathbydeath]

"Yeah. Pertition. It just sounded familiar is all. What's all this about exactly?"

Aaron dropped the papers on the table on which they were found, pulled Irony and Despair out of their holsters, and set Despair on the table by the stack of papers, Irony pointed at the ground.

"Garath, I'm certain that the man in the memories who looks like Isaac, his name is Zorrama Specter." Aaron pointed at the papers with his free hand. "The Master gave this lab to somebody, where that person has been experimenting on both demons and humans alike. He/she's been doing work for Zorrama and somebody named the Black Marshall. That girl being strung up there, she was kidnapped in Russia by a boy, hired by Zorrama, who attacked our base there and messed with our computers, probably to interfere with the scanning technology being developed."

Aaron turned his head to face Isaac, the malice in his voice not dipping in the slightest.

"Isaac, you knew the suicide bomber demon at the DICE base, and it referred to you as "master". Later, Christina Noble berated you for bringing those creatures with you, and the bomb on the demon was the calling card of our boy hacker, who attacked our base in Russia and inflicted our computers with a virus with that same face on it. I'm afraid that puts you "beyond a reasonable doubt", and so I'll have to ask you to cooperate with us while we get this mess sorted out. Besides, you look 18, and anyone who was eight ten years ago shouldn't know the name Pertition, especially someone as anti-DICE as you appear right now."

 

[Ruedyn]

Kain looked around, she teleported most everything away, and he didn't bring any clothes anyways. He took a curtain, fashioning it into a toga.
'And now I look ridiculous.' he thought, scaling down the building, right behind Azkar.
"Don't look up. I'm warning you, I didn't have time for underwear."

 

[Azkar Almsivi]

"I already caught a glimpse of your 1 inch wonder inside." Azkar said venomously as her feet landed on the ground. "Now hurry up and track the car, or do you have a Roman senate meeting you need to get to, hmm?" Azkar was amazed at how quickly a werewolf was becoming a burden.

She stood there, tapping her foot as Kain landed next to her. "Hurry up before we lose them." Azkar hoped a werewolf would be able to track something as stupid as a flying car which can apparently fire cannon balls.

 

[Ruedyn]

"I already caught a glimpse of your 1 inch wonder inside. Now hurry up and track the car, or do you have a Roman senate meeting you need to get to, hmm?"
Kain simply growled. He was too busy looking at the city to come up with a witty retort.
'Beautiful.'
He dropped down, beside Azkar.
"Hurry up before we lose them."
"Sure. It's late night on a work day, shouldn't be too many people, I'll just follow the exhaust." He figured he could transform again, he was worried about the repurcussions of abusing his powers.
"If you use it more than three times in a row in a week, you will have a very high chance of getting stuck in the inbetween form." That was what the loathesome man in the glasses had said, more or less. He shook the thought quickly,
'I'll just relax after this, Azkar could handle the demons from here on in.'
"When I turn completely, jump on my back. It'll be fastest." and with that he began. His arms stretched once more, becoming hairy and bulging. It began to hurt though.
'Odd' he thought, as his knees inverted, also becoming hairy. His mouth extended and his eyes switched once more, his ears popping up. His teeth became fang,And he became aware of a dull pain all over his body.
'Probably nothing.' He dropped to all fours. He nodded towards Azkar. She climbed on like one might a horse, and he swallowed his pride. He began to sprint, quietly and with a sure foot. He jumped onto the hood of one of the oncoming police cars, before jumping off again. His head was in the air sniffing, they had covered quite a decent distance. He jumped to a window sill, using it to scale higher. It was easier to track that way, and Azkar called it a '1 inch wonder' she deserved it. He managed to find it, hovering slightly above the buildings. Kain grunted and nodded in its' direction.

 

[DarkRawen]

He woke up, but found himself unable to move or hear anything. Something, anything, told him that it was normal, or not as bad as it would be. He couldn't open his eyes, and his thoughts were all over the place, never settling or even become anything consistent. What was that? Some kind of noise, like fast heartbeats, only, he still couldn't hear anything apart from that. No kind of set time seemed to exist, and it was as if he had been holding his breath when his eyes suddenly opened. Hazy, he could only see dark colors and light ones, jumping back and forth. Then, he could hear something else, some kind of growling... no it was a motor, he knew that, even if he had no memory of what a motor was. Slowly he tried to move his hand, and finally, he managed to lift it, slightly. It only took a few seconds then, until he could sit up, but dizziness made him feel sick. "Wh-where...?" he thought, as he tried to look around. The colors still lacked shape, and the sounds had a strange lack of consistency.

"First off, there wasn't any guards outside the building at all; we basically walked in. In regards to "what's up", not much, just trying to track something down is all, nothing you'd be probably be interested in."

"Oh that' just great. They're probably dicking around somewhere again. As always"

"Say, I have seen that design before, quite recent in fact. Does anyone else find it familiar?"

"Yeah," Adriana responded. "Looks like what was on that asshole that tried to blow us up. And me and Isaac saw it on a couple of hacked DICE computers during our investigation"

"Oh? You've seen my calling card? Awesome. I'm famous!" The boy popped a few more M&Ms in his mouth as Sophia got received a call from some guy. He waited until she was done before going on. "Ooo. Who was that? Another friend? On second thought, doesn't matter. You ladies are obviously busy so...I don't know. Just wait there for a second while I open this safe up. My guys should be back from their break in no time. [sub]Geez. Where are those guys?[/sub]"

The boy started clicking a metal box rapidly, looking slightly irritated.

"Ten years ago? What happened ten years...gah! Whatever. Look. Of course I knew the demon. I've been investigating this thing for over a week. That's why those guys were after me when I was trying to get to your base. I'm learning what's going on at the same speed the rest of you are. Now, for everyone's shake, do you mind putting the guns away to I can get back to helping this girl? I think she takes priority over everything else right now"

Isaac looks towards Garath, hoping he'd talk some sense into his teammate.

The man saw Richard was starting to move again in the passenger seat. He propped his head up on a pillow to make Richard a little more confortable.

"Richard! Good to see you're coming about. I wouldn't want you to miss our fun little field trip."

He adjusted his rear view mirror and saw both Azkar and Kain loitering about below.

"It looks like your friends are trying to get you back. That's nice. It's good to have friends you can rely on. It feels my heart with joy and good will"

 

[DarkRawen]

A figure of light colors mixed with red put something under his head. He could hear something else now.. a voice? That belonged to someone, right? However, he was still to out of it to manage to catch more than a few words. Rich... something. That was his name, right? Or, something like that. Then it was something about trip, and friends, and joy. It sounded a lot better than it was, if he was to judge by his headache. He turned tried to see what the figure was looking at, but the reflection was too bright for him, and his eyes had still not readjusted to the amount of light, his pupils covering almost all the grey. He tried to speak, but it only came out at as something sounding like a short yawn, so he swallowed and put a hand up to his throat, as if it would help. Then, he realized what a car was, and that he was in one. Why? The one driving it was a grey haired man, he could see that now. Trying to speak again, he managed to mutter a single word. "who...?"

 

[IFS]

"Ten years ago? What happened ten years...gah! Whatever. Look. Of course I knew the demon. I've been investigating this thing for over a week.

Isaac looks towards Garath, hoping he'd talk some sense into his teammate.

Garath looked back and forth from Isaac to Aaron, he had too many of his own suspiscions to fully believe Isaac, but he was right, the girl came first.

"Aaron, keep an eye on him, I'm not sure I believe either of you, Isaac, finish helping the girl, then we'll figure this out," he said, trying to think of how he could determine whether or not they were lying.

An idea struck him, it might not work but it could at least confirm part of Isaac's story, "I'll use some necromancy, try to contact your family," he said to Isaac, "See if what you've said is true, for now we need to help this girl though."

 

[Nouw]

At first Danny thought he was in a dream; he wasn't used to waking up to the calling of his name from his own head.

"Danny-lad, come on. It's time to go."
Eh?

Having failed his subtle plan to wake Danny up, the blood decided to use a bit of force. He forced Danny up, a work-out for the blood, and once he was on his feet by himself, the blood pushed him forwards sending him crashing face-first. Danny groaned and picked himself up, miraculously well-rested despite being in the luggage compartment of a plane. And for someone that experienced terror, violations of the mind and body of the highest degree, he slept like a baby. In fact, he had never slept sounder. Another perk of having a parasitic demon haha.

Nevertheless, Danny yawned and stretched himself out. He spun his neck to be greeted by a satisfying crack and kicked the air to be greeted by a click.

Good morning.
"Good morning to you too Danny. I've noticed you have woken up."
Aaah yes. I have a feeling it had to with a certain voice in my head however...
"Haha, don't be silly. I would have jump-started your brain if I really wanted you awake."

Danny paused and meekly continued stretching. He scratched his nose and while doing so, felt a bit of blood on his nostrils. He wiped it on his finger and examined it. It wasn't moving on its own, projecting a picture or doing out of the ordinary and therefore Danny assumed it was his own natural blood.

"Just a joke, I would never do that on you haha. Anyway, when are we reaching the base? Shouldn't have taken this long, right?"
Hmm, that is a fair point. Let me ask the pilot.

Danny went over to the entrance and knocked on the compartment door. He yelled as loud as loud as someone who had just woken up could. "Hey, you there?" He received no reply and knocked on the door again. After receiving no reply again Danny shot the door open.

Why the fuck, did you just do that?
"I thought you weren't a waiting person."

Danny initially considered him not losing his findings but realized it was only logical for the blood to assume this. Content, Danny kicked open the door. He didn't want to cause a ruckus but having just fired a gun that was loud as jet engine, he figured he might as well make a dynamic entry. It would have been silly to fire open a door then quietly open it.

He approached the cockpit and asked him when they would arrive. When he didn't respond Danny came closer and tapped him on the shoulder despite him quite clearly flying the plane. He immediately retracted his hand and would have left if the pilot hadn't gotten out of seat.

"We're almost there Danny, hahaha!" he said cheerily, far too cheerily for someone that had been flying a plane for over ten hours.

 

[Azkar Almsivi]

Azkar frowned at the flying vehicle, she wasn't very happy with Kain either, although he was probably just cranky about her jab about his package. She noticed a glint of light flash faintly from inside the car. "Safe to say they know we're here. Well, time to shine, We don't have anything to ground the thing, so we need to board it." Azkar pat Kain on the head roughly, then said "Unless we want to prove that the D.I.C.E 'freaks' can't handle the same workload as the stuck up magic wankers, neck beard white coats and meat headed soldiers." Azkar continued to goad Kain.
"Or do you perhaps hold a different opinion? Doubt a swanky mage with 'several generations of history!' could board a retarded flying car and save the day." Azkar pulled out her pistol and sighted up on the car "I'll even take back what I said about your manhood if you do it fast enough."

 

[Nouw]

"Is it on auto-pilot?" Danny asked. It was then when the the pilot's head erupted into a mush of gore like something out of a Quentin Tarantino movie. Danny yelled and fell on his back. He checked his handgun to see if he had accidentally fired, or not so accidentally. "Wasn't me chap! Well, maybe it was. Eh, we'll see Danny-boy."
Please tell me the plane is on auto-pilot.

As if responding to Danny, the pilot's stomach split open to reveal a set of teeth, presumably his bones. It gurgled out "Nuueee eeits nuuuut!" He shot the pilot as many times as his gun allowed him to. This time, I know exactly what happened. He went over to the seat only for the pilot's body to hug him and push him back onto the wall. His organs teared themselves out his body, wildly flaying about and clinging on to the wall.

Danny screamed, trapped between a wall and a terrifying place.

"Quite a situation you have there Danny-boy!"
FUUUUU-AAAAAAAACK!

Acting on its own, Danny's hand reached out and cut itself on the bones of the pilot. The blood spilled into the body and the pilot shook even more violently. Its newly formed mouth widened further and began trying to bite Danny. He made a face and pushed the pilot back through its shoulders. Despite his head being a mush, it roared and pulled back its arms to deliver a killing blow. At this point, Danny was completely stuck to the wall but he tried not to think about that. It was about to crush Danny with its tentacular arms at the ready, but before they could reach him the pilot went flying backwards.

Danny tried to break free of the gibs but it kept gluing itself together whenever Danny broke it. He hadn't noticed until now but it was expanding, slowly covering more and more of Danny's body; he could have sworn it was breathing. It was at this point he started to cry. As if his life couldn't get any batshit crazier, he was being swallowed by a sea of gibs. Fucking gibs! It had been a nice run with D.I.C.E. but it couldn't have lasted forever. Fate was kind to Danny to spare him of the stress he would have to face later on. He closed his eyes and prepared for the impact.
