The Return of Madness {Part 1}

Shiki thought long and hard about this even joining Shadowfall wasn't enough something else needed to be done and still she wanted to resurrect her master. She thought by helping Khala Asthavon and her mission whatever it was maybe the heart of the deveta could revive her master but that wasn't happening. There had to be another way something she hasn't consider another possibility but the demon ziamichi needed to think what was that and look through everything. The facts that Eric Zarathos was killed by Kakeru Leohardt and that was it but the demon needed to discover a way of bringing him back. Zorin wanted the master back as well since they were of the same blood; Shiki stops and thinks that three of necro creations hold a sample of his blood. She remembers Eric telling each one of them carry as aspect of his blood but the ziamichi was baffled how was that going to restore him. The only way to start was to dig up his body first and easy task which the woman went to cemetery of demons and started with a shovel digging up Eric's gravesite. After Shiki and Zorin stopped digging they noticed something bad the body was decomposing for too long they needed to restart the body. But the important thing was getting the body and body parts back to the demon's lair there were a bunch of maggots everywhere. Zorin had the nasty job of grabbing Eric's body parts as the two collected Eric's demonic remains taking them back to the lab. They placed the body parts on the table still they didn't know what to do here they couldn't stitch it up because some parts were missing too. Shiki's guess was Kakeru destroyed Eric's body pretty damn good but now they needed to clean the body up a little it was the best they can do for now. Using water magic, Shiki started removing the maggots that were feasting upon the demon corpse the eyeballs were gone.

By cleansing it she managed to see about most of the remaining body parts were intact the mad demon was strong in his day still could they do it. For the most part his body was intact it was the rest of him that was in shambles as his teammates were wondering how were they going to do this. Shiki knew that once a demon dies their soul goes to the endless soul plane they needed to place Eric's soul back into his body. But Eric got to want to come back still they needed to restore his body first before even considering that motive. Zorin thought if she was there to take his place none of this would have happen but it wasn't her fault the mad demon had to do that mission alone. Shiki needed

Zorin focus it wasn't the time for such regrets now that they had Eric's body was broken how could do this the mad demon to restore him. The two of them needed to get to work here but some measures needed to taken into place still the worse part. His zoa koa was gone their was no denying the mad demon needed a source of power something to jumpstart the body because the brain was diminished. They needed something to kickstart it to order the body to restore itself they thought one thing could work the sacrificial incantation the only question was what would be sacrificed to help the mad demon. This was a mess still they had the body though that was a start now the demon servants revive the mad demon that was the question. The sacrificial incantation would work but who would be stupid enough to sacrifice themselves for the demon of madness they have to be willing too. Shiki wasn't fond on incantations either but this seemed like the only way but they needed three people for this one for restoring the demon bones, the second for the flesh and other features and finally the final one for the zoa koa and power. Then they can worry about retrieving Eric's soul from the endless soul plane, But yet again another problem.....

None of them knew the sacrificial incantation this was fucking perfect reviving the master body was impossible now. This was perfect that suguiran bastard had to kill him but then someone appeared and was willing to help revive the mad demon back but key elements were needed. Poisonous blood was needed since the mad one was known both as the child of poison but that maybe impossible...Until Shiki thought his necro creations had some traces of his blood. Kairaa agreed to draining half of her necro blood allowing it to re-circulate and flow into each body part it was something but it wasn't going well they needed something else. Zorin was wondering who was this woman willing to help them revive the mad demon none other than his own wife who was a rakshasa demon who knows her husband's history.

This made Zorin drop her scythe this was Miyuki the one the master always talks about this was unbelievable. Back to the experiment, Each body part some of Eric's necro blood inside a goo and green filled process that took four hours placing the necro blood into each broken body part. Every time, Zorin placed the necro blood into one part she would have to keep it clean from the maggots and parasites chewing at the decaying flesh even though it was really gross. At times, Kairaa would throw up when the demon henchmen used water magic to clean the maggots out the mad demon's body parts. Trinity had Zorin placed the body parts on a dark experimental table finally removing all the maggots, parasites and diseases the dead demon's body. Finally the body was somewhat ready for sacrificial incantation as the demon henchmen started painting a red demon pentagram around the demon's corpse also painting black tribal ritual words on the pentagram. Everything was complete the two henchies didn't think they would get this far still those three people were needed but for the sacrificial to work they needed two people are the same power. But the third one wasn't as issue that person would be sacrificed for restoring the mad demon's bones but really they might need more too but the preparations were done. Vanitas bowed to Shiki telling her that he'll find the right subjects in order of restoring the master to full power as she nodded opening a kage portal giving him a list.

The List
Kaleb Seiger {Checked}
Amon Seiger {Checked}
Jason Estacado {Checked}
Azrael Iramasha
Chris Kibagawi
and others

The capturing of the other people that was Vanitas's job but the names that were checked off they weren't a problem as Shiki had one of them on her team. The Estacado quincy was willing to make a sacrifice for his master as the ultimate act of loyalty but Zorin had her doubts if the ritual would work still the quincy would be the first test subject. To see if the sacrificial incantation works noted this was just a test as Jason got close to the corpse and five of Eric's henchmen gather around forming a circle preparing the incantation as the pentagram. It started to glow and Trinity began with the ritual saying sacrificial words as first nothing happen but with power of the incantation, Jason body began to breakdown. Then for the first time, Eric's body began to move just his fingers the bones were snapping back as Jason's life force was beginning to leave his body. The moment it did the mad demon's skeletal system was being restored but the process only brought back the mad demon upper bones but it worked. They watched the quincy's powers all of them were being used repairing the mad demon skull and restoring his very teeth about one tooth at a time. As the quincy's energy was used restoring the mad demon's spinal cord as then the mad one's upper bones were restored healing his rib cage and shoulder sockets even his bone arms, bone hands and bone fingers.

Then the thought there was they needed more powerful test subjects in order to bring the mad demon back but Jason was gone his sacrifice did bring a portion of the mad demon back from the dead. Shiki had recently captured Amon and Kaleb during a demon fight within the Sirsa lands still their sacrifice will begin soon they were afraid of the whole dying thing but they knew that they couldn't win against the ziamichi. Those two had the exact same power base in order to for the mad demon to somehow regain his lost power even though the fear of it was that his mad power won't be restored completely. Trinity knew that much but these two specimens were strong enough maybe their sacrifice will help restore her husband but the journey back to high power was on her husband not her. They were hoping Vanitas doesn't screw up with this hopefully he can obtain the remaining test subjects and bring them here to help restore more of Eric's bones.

Trinity thought this might not be enough thinking more sacrifices maybe needed in order to restore the mad demon completely. Many demon sacrifices might be needed to they'll see what happens when Vanitas comes back on his quest still the process was going to be a long one though. Trinity wonders if the whole thing works the restored body once created will be brain dead the mad demon's soul resided in the soul plane maybe they'll figure something out.

Vanitas had a tough time to subdue the iramasha wonder why he had to die the only reason for reviving Eric though the sacrificial their powers will restore the body, However, The soul is another story the bastard was using many attacks against the vizard, Vanitas did love a challenge most of the iramasha's attacks did some damage but nothing too serious. Finally, He was able to subdue the bastard having some demonic help in the process the others weren't trouble as the other targets were defeated and contained but it was really too difficult. Since the master bestowed his power into him still the three others were round as the body as the second and final part of the sacrificial incantation was beginning as Jason was already sacrificed into the mad one. Jason's sacrifice brought back the mad demon's upper body bones and that was it they needed stronger powers to completely restore the body this might be done real good too. Now it was time to continue the sacrificial incantation as two vizards Aaron and Chris were sacrificed as the red pentagram started breaking as Aaron had enough power which the vizard was disappearing. Aaron's power was being drained and yet again; Eric's new skeleton started moving again as through the vizard the mad demon bones started regenerating the hip bone, pelvis, bone legs and bone feet. The henchies watched as the vizard was being completely sucked into the skeleton as very little zoa koa was emitting from the skeleton bones then finally went slowly back into the table.

Next up, Chris Kibagawi getting him ready the vizard didn't want to die but no one was going to save him the guy was done still the vizard didn't like giving up. Trinity calm the vizard down false promising him that he'll get another chance at life this wasn't the end helping the dude believe in second chances still this wouldn't work unless the vizard was willing. She finally got Chris to calm down because really the incantation would work if the sacrifice was willing still the vizard accepted his death still no one was going to help him and then finally agreed to Trinity's terms. It took a while getting the vizard to calm down but then the dude started stepping in the pentagram as then his life-force and power started leaving him and then the mad demon body's started to move again. The vizard's power was sacrificed and it started repairing the decaying mad demon's flesh and reworking his nervous system then as all of Chris's power was completely gone. After the second's vizard power was sacrificed the mad demon's body was restored but not moving still he was brained everything was back. But the mad demon's soul was in the soul plane they done it through three sacrifices they did it Eric Zarathos wasn't moving but his mad demon body was restored.

"He's still brain dead.....Through those three sacrifices we got him his back his demonic body but still the master is powerless now...." Zorin said.

"True Eric's body is back but he's powerless and also his soul resides in the soul plane but we did it.....the master.....wait we need to keep this body breathing or OH SHIT THIS CAN BE BAD" Kendall said.

"Hook him up to that life demon machine...." Akasha said.

"There ya go.....We need to put that breathing tube into his mouth" Zorin said.

"Alright.....Start it up" Akasha said.

The demon machine was activated as then they saw a miracle the body was breathing all thanks to the demon machine. The final phase needed to completed his mad power.....Amon and Kaleb were next to be sacrificed but the only way this would work their sacrificed powers needed to be equal. Both Zorin and Vanitas grabbed into the two demons as their very power and abilities were going to be sacrificed to restore the mad demon's power and abilities. First Amon's power was the first as the demon touched the demonic pentagram and demon brother was sacrificed as his body was decaying turning into power. As Amon lifeforce was depleted the power went inside the mad demon's body as the demonic body started shaking as the mad demon' muscles started getting ripped and bulked. Now it was Kaleb's turn as the other demon brother was next to be sacrificed but the process was doing a number upon the rakshasa demon she didn't know how long she could keep this up. His power was sacrificed as the demon brother step upon the pentagram as his body was reduced to nothing as his power and abilities were sacrificed. Finally, The mad demon's body was restored but now a final thing needed to be done as the henchmen each of them started forming a circle around the revived demon body. Trinity started her demon magic preparing the final ritual for the sacrificial incantation as some power was used for it. "The dark mad warlords we call upon this day bring back one of the fallen bring the one of chaos and madness come and forth. Help him guide back to us return him thou give him the second chance bring back the fallen one. We call upon the endless soul plane....Return Eric Zarathos....Return his soul allow him the chance of demonic freedom of life. Return Eric Zarathos, Restore Eric Zarathos....Soul of Endless, Revive Eric Zarathos"

The sacrificial pentagram was glow as Eric's body was glowing black his dark powers was trying to call back his soul. Eric's body was shaking as red light was coming from his mouth as it was being sent to the endless soul plane.

"What happens now????" Zorin said.

"We have restored his body but the journey back to it....Eric has to do it not us it has to be him and him alone" Trinity said.
