Lis covers her ears at this point, trying to block out sounds that were only in her head. She continues screaming. Seriph walks over, then looks up at Bane, then down at Lis once more. "Sorry about this, Bane."
"I'm sorry for this, Alice. . ." he murmurs, as he knocks her out.
"Go. I'll keep her safe. I promise."
Bane cringed at Lis' screams. It pained him, but it also gave him a headache because of his sensitive ears. Bane didn't have any fear left to be played. He lost all that made him scared when his father was killed. There was no one alive that could evoke any more paralyzing thoughts. There was the causal squeak of punishment in his mind. He looked up at the vampire when he said his name. Watching Seriph hurt Lis to put her out of her fear-ridden misery filled Bane with sorrow. He stuck his claws into her temple and whispered a command in her ear, since I will not be around when you awake, I command you fight back fear and keep your mind blank. He hoped this could help her gather some peace of mind. He took his claws out and drew a little mark on her wrist. A symbol that read to any demon as 'she's mine'. "Those who can invoke fear should not be fearful themselves." He muttered. "You better keep her safe." He nodded to Devon and made his way into the pitch-black forest, corrupted by its demonic holders.
Seriph sighs, leaping onto the roof of the house with ease, laying Lis down. He leaves an autonomous magical copy of himself to watch her, then follows Bane. Luna appears just behind Seriph, and he turns.
"Hey. Been a while, no?" he grins.
Luna snarls. "Shut up. How could you even dare look at me, knowing what you've done?"
Seriph laughs and leans in. "You've done similar, if not worse, acts. Don't get all high and mighty on me for wiping out that island."
Luna growls softly, stepping quickly to fall in with Bane.
naize growled at luna, the small bob cat standing beside seriph
Bane’s ear twitched. He had enough of the infighting. “Will you two stop!” He snapped. “There’s been enough infighting, and we don’t need anymore. We need to stay together! We don’t have time to fight amongst ourselves.” He breathed a deep sigh, marching further into the forest. “We’ll be killed if we don’t work together.” He glared at Seriph and Luna. “Either learn to tolerate each other or keep your mouths shut.” He grumbled and turned into his wolf form. Leaves crunched under his paws as he ran full force into a figure. The figure was encompassed in shadow and had a dark aura around him. Bane bit at his neck, trying to taste the blood of a demon. However, he was thrown into a nearby tree, letting out a little howl before getting back up. He couldn’t die now, he needed to do this for Lis.
The figure got to his feet, glaring at the group of mismatched creatures. Half his face was twisted, and his blue eyes were unsettling. He wore the clothes of a Victorian king with hair the color of sand. “Hello, ladies and gentlemen.” He smiled. “Come to enjoy the show?” The devil greeted them sweetly. Bane went for his leg, and he kicked the dog in the stomach. Bane hit his head on a tree and the devil smiled. “I love seeing traitors getting hurt! Don’t you? It makes me smile.” He laughed madly.
(My little interpretation of Warth and le devil. My lil psycho disaster child, Nathaniel <3 https://s3.amazonaws.com/notebook-content-uploads/content/uploads/original/b4dcc837-837e-46fb-838b-ae91507e990d.jpeg?1647926726) (Oh, by the way, the devil can control Bane and make him turn against the group. Of course Bane would fight back, but the devil’s control is too strong)
Seriph smiles a little too innocently.
"Sure, I can stop fighting." he says, his tone suggesting that maybe Luna can't. Words were a powerful thing, and nobodies words were more powerful than Seriphs.
Luna snarls at Seriph, then backs down once Naize growls at her. She looks away, just as Bane launches himself at the devil.
Meanwhile, the shadows behind the devil seem to shift and roll, taking the forms of what each of them fear most. Seriph collapses to his knees, stunned, while Luna screams and covers her ears, trying to block out a noise only she could hear. Her eyes are tightly closed. In a matter of secinds, everyone but Bane was incapacitated.
naize shook where she stood, the bodies of her family, their blood covered her paws and mouth. she did this… it was her fault
(so like…where do I yeet dev?)
(Shrugs Where was he last?)
(Perfect. Throw him back in right there.)
(ok but like…he walked out to go join the fight-)
(wait, he was beside bane)
(I shrug Idk. Suppose he walked a few feet, then got stopped. :/)
(You can yeet Dev in with everyone. He’s a demon, so he shouldn’t be effected by any other demons powers. Last man standing type of thing. Bane will need help… he’s kind of on his own)
When Bane tried to get back on his feet, the devil grabbed him by the scruff. "Your little friends, it's truly pitiful. I guess you didn't consider what would most certainly break them. Your girlfriend is afraid of her mother; the vampire is doomed, the panther is." He gave a warm smile. "You'll have to wait and see. And the little kitty believes she is the one who killed everyone. At best, it's pathetic. Even that demon that isn't effected." Devon drew a snarl from him. "He's far too cowardly to assist." Bane is thrown across the forest floor by the devil, who watches as he collects dirt. "You're ruining my fun, Agramon." He hissed as he approached the group of screaming oddities. He kicked Naize, slashed Luna in the side, thwacked Seriph in the head, and then turned to Dev. "Are you going to play or are you not ?" His eyes were a fiery red, as if he was enraged by the lack of enjoyment.
Devon blinked slowly, watching the demon in front of him, "I am not a fan of violence, but uh, I don't like you hurting these…friends here." He shrugged with a bored expression and summoned his sword. "but sure, Ill 'play' if you want".
Devon's brilliant choice made the devil smile. "Shoo Agramon, I'm playing a game." He drew a scythe and aimed it at Devon. Bane leapt to his feet and dashed after the devil. The devil made the first swing at Devon, swiping at his feet. Bane bit into the Devil's right arm and was met with the scythe's tip, splattering blood all over the place. "You got what you deserve, dog." He returned to Devon, shifted his weight, and swung at his neck. Devon's head was going to be chopped off, and the Devil was going to enjoy it.
Devon disappeared each time the scythe came at him, appearing back once it had passed, he was teasing the devil, and he hoped the devil knew it. He smirked, leaning on his sword. "Are you going to attack yet?" he was using June's tactics, provoking the enemy until they got so upset they let their guard down. Then Devon would switch to offence.
the blood-spattered and hit naize directly in the face, snapping any will she had left from the devil's shadows.
naize lost control, her eyes glowing a pitch white. vines shot from every direction, her horns glowing green. she took a step toward the devil, vines as tough as the metal the sythe was made from wrapped around the blade. stopping it dead in its tracks.
naize took another step. she opened her mouth to bare her fangs, her mouth falling apart as if made from decomposing skin. it dripped to the ground. her fangs now long and sharp, every tooth bares a painful death.
just like banes rages, naize had no control. the only difference is, naize knew what she was about to do.
( sooo, shell look like this soon enough
)
( you have hell hounds, i have lyercats)
The Devil tugged at his weapon before abandoning it all together. Bane's blood pooled in a circle around him, and the devil smiled. He knew what this meant, the others didn't. He mocked the kitty. "Little kitty is now a stupid fucking beast because she's so angry that I hurt her frwind." He rolled his eyes and waved his hand. He lunged at Devon, engaging in a scuffle, and began choking the young demon. "Coward, you can't use your sister's awful tactics against me." He pressed his fingers into Devon's throat even harder. "Now go ahead and die the way you were supposed to. You were supposed to be killed by Bane! NOT YOUR SISTER!"
naize growled, the longer she was like this the more the lyer took over. she lunged. her size growing massively. she wrapped her jaws around the devils neck
The devil rolled onto his back, attempting to free himself from the horror cat. "Get off on me, you monstrosity!" His blood dripped down his neck as he attempted to bite into her face. "How come the puppy didn't kill you?" Everything would have been a lot easier!" He kicked the cat in the stomach, not knowing if it would help. "I am not the bad guy in this situation." He tried manipulating her mind as he pried open her jaws. "Stupid kitty," the devil hissed, blood on his fangs.
naize reattached to his neck, biting down harder. a deep tormented voice echoed the devils mind
"you killed them, YOU KILLED THEM" it croaked.
