Vulpyre Tales

Diana led them out of the back room and upstairs. "Eh he. You see, we have a bit of a demon infestation. The closet is a pocket dimension and demons opened a portal there. I've sealed it so they can't get out, but I'd like to be able to use it again. Well, good luck." She opened the door and shoved them in. It was dark inside other than a faint purple light. It was clear the infestation was bad.

 The two walked in just barely feeling the push as they more than happily walked in. Akasha hadn't had a serious fight in a while so she started to mindlessly walk into the dark before Alex caught her and pulled her behind him, causing her to sigh and mutter at him. Alex's fur crackled with energy and it slowly shifted into his left paw. "Fighting blind is a challenge. We're not getting extra for making things challenging, though we might get some tidbit if we're efficient." Alex drew his lucerne hammer and charged the energy into the head of the hammer then dropped it to the ground releasing a surge of hot light. Both Alex and Akasha searched the illuminated room for any trace of demons.

[fireheart126]

The illumination revealed a few shadows that quickly recoiled. Alex and Akasha both felt a chill down their spine as something was stalking them, waiting to pounce, they also noticed in their light a bit of a green cloak. They only got a glimpse before it disappeared, but in that glimpse, they saw something on the sleeve that was hard to mistake for anything else. A familiar purple skull logo.

Abby turned in the direction of the explosion looking in its directions she instantly tried to feel if this was chemical or magical in nature, if it was magical her senses would be able to tear the entire explosion into tiny bits of information that would help her lead herself to who ever did this.

[fireheart126]

It appeared to be both. A boy was the source of it and it seemed to be an accident.

[Cef]

"Dang it! What now?" Cef said and was about to rush into the place before being turned into a scythe

"Hold on Cef. Remember this is a lab. You might be dead. But that.doesn't mean you can't be crippled. Who knows what chemicals might be involved. I don't want my boyfriend coming out as a skeleton you hear? I'll leave you if you do die a second death." Fil said and let him turn back into an anthro.

[fireheart126]

When Cef walked in he noticed a human boy who was blackened by the explosion on the ground.
 
"I think I used too much Sulfur." Cef heard him say before the boy passed out.

[AJ Fawxe]

Alex and Akasha both noted the shadows moving in the fading light but Akasha noticed the familiar skull symbol first and she hissed her revulsion at it as she swiftly plucked a posie from her pocket and with a few utterances in a rough, guttural tongue she threw it and it burst into flames, landing about where she'd seen the cloak with the skull on it. A few moments later it burst apart scattering bits of herb and burlap a few dozen feet around, each piece burned with a white light which clearly illuminated the area.

Sliding her shortsword from it's holster she leveled it in front of her and waved it slowly back and forth as Alex began charging energy into his hammer again but for a different reason than last time, "Show yourself you worthless little meat sack, I've been waiting for this."

[Cef]

"What did I tell you. Now if my calculations are correct. You have 30 seconds or so to get him out before you start rotting and stuff." Fil.said and Cef ran towards the boy and picked him up. "Can you walk. I'm not that strong you see, I literally lost a lot of muscles a few years back." Cef said while carrying him towards the group

[Suzumibachii]

Abby simply watched and processed as Cef ran in. The undead can risk his life my purpose is not to save young ones who play with fire. She thought to herself rather cruelly.

[fireheart126]

To Alex: The light didn't last long and Alex felt something grab him as he heard a gunshot and noticed his shoulder bleeding as a sharp pain settled in. Akasha noticed that she couldn't move as a demonic clown face stared at her. It was almost as if she was tied with invisible rope. "How do you like my Mime. Quite effective, you wouldn't believe that I found a demon summoning ritual in here. Unfortunately we can't seem to leave. What a pity. I suppose destroying you will have to do. You had your chance. It's too late now." The green robed vixen walked up. Akasha recognized her as Lara, Skylar's twin. Lara pointed her pistol at Akasha's head.

To Cef and Suzu: "I'll be fine." The boy got up and escorted himself and Cef out after putting a barrier around the both of them. Haruko sighed with relief as Syaoran gave him the meds he asked for. "Don't worry us like that Yumoru."

[Jormungdang]

"So, this is Yumoru." Trace said as he scratched his chin, carefully memorizing the boy's features in case he became a potential enemy later. Then he turned his gaze back towards the lab, and asked "If I may ask, what were you trying to do anyway?"

[fireheart126]

Yumoru shrugged, "I was working on a teleporter device that my grandfather designed. He died before he finished the blueprint, leaving me to decipher what was supposed to go. I tried Sulfur. It was going well, but it suddenly blew up in my face when I tried to use it. You know the rest."

[AJ Fawxe]

Alex growled and cursed under his breath feeling the bullet rip through his shoulder. Turning to the source he heard Akasha grunt against some mysterious creature. Alex ran as best he could. "Where!?" Alex shouted to the air.

"Point blank in front of me!" Akasha yelled back to him. Judging on her last known position Alex used the momentum of his movement to swing his hammer in a high arc that would land right in Lara's chest. With Lara being caught in the tough position of whether she was ready to sacrifice herself to kill the infamous Witch Akasha, the Witch called out to the air.

"Oh Kitten! Momma's in danger!" There was a flash in Akasha's eyes and the air shifted as a serpentine dragon with decided feline features surged into existance next to Akasha and jumped at the mime, aiming it's jaws for it's throat.

[fireheart126]

Lara quickly noticed the hammer coming and put up a barrier to stop it. It still stunned her for a second though, enough time for Kitten to kill the mime demon that was trapping Akasha. Unfortunately once she was released, she lost balance and fell down. "Well, this is starting to get interesting, I should expect nothing less from you or anyone you associate with, Akasha. Zios, I require asisstance." With that, a hooded man rushed at unnatural speeds attacking fiercely, combining swordplay and magic spells to attack Alex unrelentlessly. He caught a glimpse of fangs protruding from his mouth and a feeling similar to being around Cef.
