It was a demon hiding amongst the populace, a small and insignificant one which was in The vicinity as everything went to Hell in a hand basket, quite literally the demon saw the mass destruction that was brought to pass by a lone individual one, which wielded the sword with sublime skills and carried themselves like they knew their stuff, a foe which was exceptional and definitely dangerous, a threat to say the least or so the demon thought, whilst hiding in the intermediate shadows that had been created by fallen buildings and so forth. Creeping in the shadows it chattered in its mind excitedly thinking that it might get a reward if it delivered this back to the one who had sent it out for recon, so cackling silently with obvious glee it seemed to have begun the process of vanishing from the scene, disappearing within the shadows using shadow step. Amidst the carnage which was present another girl getting seriously injured by random projectiles. but the little demon had a purpose, which was to report to the higher up in this situation. Which is why it had left, it was relaying information, as a scout would, to the senior officer, in this situation.
This demon had reappeared from the shadows of a ruined house on the outskirts a old mansion that had fallen into disrepair. As the demon ran through the main halls and up the stairs the primitive thing was making quite the ruckus mouth working to make grunts and squeels displaying the savage glee that it had for it had been able to be of use. So as it came to the master bedroom it with a loud bang threw the double doors open dust rising from the long grayed over Persian rug the rich colors and paints long covered over by dust and grime, that comes with A long period of Disuse in general. Now this Demon Had looked forward its primitive mouth clacking in pleasure, gazing at a slender female who was lounging on the edge of the moth eaten and mold covered master bed, a richly satin silk adorned king sized bed of soft downy feathers, the bed frame obviously Victorian, from bygone Era’s that where long gone, so the demon pausing to watch a rat scuttle across the floor didn’t notice when the Slender Female Figure opened its eyes horns Dully Whirring as if Chainsaw-like in origin.
“So If you’re here I take it that you have some pressing information for me? If so be quick about it, as I’ve had nothing to do as of late of pressing importance. Beware though if you have wasted my time, or let me down I will kill you when I return from the supposed crisis that you have come to report to me about. With that said, speak “
This Female was Demonica Nightfang, a knight of shadow fall, and a ruthless demon. So as her eyes gazed bored and unblinkingly at the Primitive messenger demon she waited patiently tapping her manicured index finger against the Wooden Bed-Frame rapping the wood, sharply to pass the time, leaving grooved cuts in the wood after each of these actions. Nodding every once and a while she to at least let the messenger know she was paying some attention to the supposed pressing matter that it had come to report on, gazing slowly around the room eyes wandering , she waited until the report was over and then reached up slowly, with her slender and sculpted fingers to scratch her head closing her eyes slowly giving a smoky sigh, steam rising from her lips. Now she Paused collecting her thoughts then Spoke to the Messenger demon for comfirmation.
“So, you’re saying that in Dubai somewhere in the city, you witnessed a Unnamed and unknown individual laying waste to the city? Not to mention one that was strong enough to with ease cause devastating death tolls on citizens and lay waste to the surrounding area she was in? And She cut down two other individuals like it was child’s play? And not to mention you instead of gathering more information came here to give me the news, because of my orders to you? Am I missing anything here or does that just about sum up, the report that you found so urgent to give me?”
The Messenger just nodded head bobbing up and down in a jerky movement, standing there restlessly as if waiting to get as far away from the woman as possible, Demonica understood how he felt, not many of the normal primitive demons or demons in general liked to be around her odd, and frankly unnerving figure. She even in her own kind was considered slightly freaky , which was why she just raised her pale white and delicate hand waving up and down in obvious dismissal to the demon her lips moving as her mouth exhaled another sight, smoky steam rising from her lips as she then spoke white teeth flashing.
“Good job, you may go now I need to think over the information you have given me, so if you will please I’m going to want some time to myself, keep up the good work. That will be all for now, keep your eyes open for anything else , and I am grateful for the information.”
As if the little demon needed no further prodding then the courteous dismissal that it had been given, it subtly with an abrupt popping sound vanished into the shadows once more as Demonica raised her thumb and gently bit down on it resting her white enameled teeth against the white slender skin taking care not to screw up the finger nail or her Cuticle, as both took because of how strong her skin was, a pretty decent amount of time to make presentable like it looked at that moment. Anyways She mumbled slowly her words slurred from the thumb in her mouth.
“So there is a strong opponent in Dubai huh. . . I wonder if it was truly that this person or woman is really strong or just strong in general comparison to everything else in this quaint little metropolis. Anyways, it is something worth checking out , I guess I should get moving myself lest either I’m beaten to the punch, or the Person loses general interest in the broad destruction they apparently are causing. “
Demonica then slowly stood rising from the bed which groaned a groan which was echoed by the old floorboards. Boards of Strong Oak, bowed under her rather hefty weight while she, made her way unhurriedly out of the room, walking down the stairs and reaching for her cloak as she was mostly naked at this moment , after traveling for so long she really had found clothes to be too easy to destroy generally she couldn’t even put on normal clothes because they would generally be torn to shreds just from the nature of what she is, of course this is why though she in a practiced motion swung the cloak around her shoulders the extremely heavy duty linen landed on her back with a soft ruffling of fabric on something hard. Then in a practiced motion she Adjusted the Brooch which held the cloth together her hands in a slight motion sliding behind her head, pulling up the hood, so that the hood obviously obscured her face leaving just the red hair draping down, Wings folded neatly on her back and horns sticking up through the hood.
For the third time at least, she shook her head slowly hair swaying from one side to the other, exhaling sending up another shimmering steam from her internal body heat. Mouth moving now she just had begun to walk forward, clearly barefoot as she of course had even less need for shoe’s as her weight and just plain old the fact of she is a sword in essence, would make it impossible to wear shoes. Anyways Her left hand slid up as her head tilted to the side, popping the muscles and causing her to shiver gratefully at the loosening of tense, and most certainly stiff muscles, the byproduct of only recently having made it back to shadow fall, and 6 months of traveling and battles certainly made it so that she had been battered and tired, but now she had rested, and thankfully showered (God you don’t know how bad you smell after 6 months without washing yourself till you actually go 6 months without cleaning yourself.) So feeling refreshed she just spoke to herself slowly.
“I guess it’s only Polite and courteous to show up when someone noticeable comes to town, if nothing else but to give my regards to them and see if they are friend or Foe, either way at least my day won’t be Quite so Dreary , I felt like I was about to Die from boredom, but that aside It does make you wonder , just exactly Who showed up, for the reason that not many people are extremely strong, seldom few are actually truly strong. However , that’s in the scheme of billions of people in this world so I wonder exactly who is it?”
Demonica said to no one in particular , her eyes slowly opening as she shook her head clearing her mind, and walking forward bare pads of her feet slapping rather loudly against the floorboards leaving foot indentations behind her. Casually pace wise she made her way out of the hallway and pushed open the double doors, shutting them behind her with another plume of vile dust billowing into the air. Looking at the glaring sun she squinted then looked directly forward at angry black smoke that rose from the metro beyond this forest dump she was chilling in. The wailing of ambulance’s , police sirens, fire trucks the chopping thunder of helicopters , and the grating of tank tread on pavement. Seemed like someone called in the Army, not the entire one but at least called on the reserve base that was either near-by the vicinity of the city, or within the immediate country side. All this noise just got on her nerves if she was going to have a talk with someone she might as well get rid of the background noise before-hand.
“Before I greet this guest, I should probably go hit the mute button on these annoying background noises. . . Eh it’s a minor detour”
Looking to the right she just rolled her eyes somewhat at humanities pathetic excuse for defense, which was why padding in front of the oncoming traffic she instead of throwing anything just lineman style crashed into a armored Flatbed the frame of the truck shuddering before sliding to the side crashing and creating a roadblock and with that done she turned around looking straight into a miniature mob of army personal with semi-automatic guns / sub machineguns trained on her. Such tiny and rather inconsequential weaponry didn’t do much other than getting her to giggle but , still with a casual stride she walked towards the unit who answered with the barking roar of bullets , bullets I may add that bounced clean off her Akuma Kyodo to scatter into the pavement or surrounding buildings, destroying glass and what-not. Demonica herself just walked through the masses which seemed to begin shredding if immediately less than a foot away from Demonica’s Obscured form , her feet bare and pale white slapping against the pavement leaving feet shape dents in her wake from her general weight.
“You’d think that these People could see a hopeless cause when they encounter one , I guess humans are dumber then I originally thought , not that I really care about vermin such as this either way , they just right now are being a nuisance and Nuisances should be erased as quick as possible”
Having said that she brought her hands up calmly and then brought them together in a cupped motion, compressing air to a extreme margin, a thunderous eardrum bursting blast of vibrations pressure force and sound exploding through the ranks as she lowered her hands releasing the compressed air which, caused yet another blast that radiated outwards , generating enough wind to cause her heavy linen cloak to whip around in a frenzy her hair following suit. The Puny forces however had found much more devastating results tanks and envoys being thrown off like a hotwheel is by an angry child throwing a tantrum. Humans themselves though had much more messy results, a majority of the unit just outright exploding from the force of the wind that expanded outwards, buildings also shattered. Pancaking downwards with billowing clouds of rock-dust and carbon monoxide , via the raging fires that the damage generated.
“And, now that I have finished that, lovely chore let’s get back to the main attraction”
Mumbling such Demonica, had continued down the middle of the road her footsteps echoing ominously Amongst the buildings in general, while her own eyes drifted around the scenery looking at the general state of destruction that swooped around the landscape a low whistle escaping from her mouth , slightly grinning at the destruction , just bemused with herself for having struck on something that looked like it had gotten severe pretty quickly, dead bodies just littering the landscape, it was kind of just like a amusing little montage of death gruesome death and destruction.
“It seems like they started the party and neglected to invite me, eh I guess I’ll have to make myself known. I mean I don’t really want to get into so much of a fight but, I am interested in seeing who can cause this much damage in such a short period of time”
Demonica Had tilted her head and then shook her head some, making her way, to the initial disaster zone, still maintaining absolutely no spiritual or pressure trace energy wise, which left an ominous air to be had, she had stood slowly amidst the running people, as she walked by fleeing crowd’s they exploded in random intervals, just purely from walking by her they shredded apart at such a speed that they popped apart like balloons that had been fed through a meat processor. Her hood covering her face she was standing there amidst the wreckage and the destruction present, her form calmly looking from one side to the other taking in scenery and generally just the level of destruction, so calmly in fact that when someone from the squat team that was sent in, fired a rocket launcher directly towards demonica, it just smashed into thin air, which sparked brilliantly for a second, and just exploded a foot from demonica’s body, full on halted by some invisible force, and as to what demonica did about this? Well she just had continued her observation for a minute then looked directly at the person who seemed to be the heart of this, well it was her guess that it was at the heart of this.
“ Hello, you’ve made quite the mess haven’t you? I’d have told you good job , however it seems like this wouldn’t be the place nor the time to do so. As , I don’t know you nor your intended purposes however I am intrigued about how you laid waste to absolutely everything in the general radius so thoroughly, While I’m at it, may I inquire your name perhaps? I haven’t seen you before.”
After saying that Demonica had just exhaled and looked at the sky and then the ground her cloak billowing around as the occasional bird of insect was shredded to bits after it got within her radius, she looked at what appeared to be a Girl with a crown on her head, rather strange yet she had seen much stranger when she was wandering about the earth in general, which was why she tilting her head had exhaled once more her eyes slipping shut, steam rising from the corners of her mouth, and she could only wonder. Oh what turn of events would transpire now?
