The battle for Makai [Demon Queen Claim - Now closed]

(Nakiya and Nori Scenario)

“Nice shooting Nori.”
Nakiya stated as a small grin crept up onto her lips. While the situation they were in was serious, she soon found herself having fun with the invasion. It had been a very long time since Nakiya had been involved in a serious fight like this and it got her adrenaline kicking overdrive!

With their path clear once more, Nakiya flew right into the castle via a towers balcony. She landed just outside the doors and blasted them open with lasers that came from her eyes. She swung the broken door open and checked on Nori to make sure that she was following her before stepping inside.

The room that they walked into was lavishly decorated much like her sitting room back within her hideout. There were silk curtains lining the wall with a beautiful posted bed on the far wall. The furniture was crafted out of a strange dark wood and looked absolutely beautiful. This room could very well belong to a King or Queen, or even a princess. The demoness didn’t waste time reminiscing about the room, instead she ran for the door and pressed her ear to it for a moment as she listened to the other side.

Once she deemed it was safe, Nakiya opened the door and peered outside, looking this way and that twice over before stepping out and motioning for Nori to follow.

“The throne room will be three stories down, but it looks like this was a good place to come in through. Stay on your guard.”
She warned Nori as she began to soar down the empty hallway. Instead of excitement, Nakiya was starting to get nervous. Why were the hallways of the castle this empty? There weren’t any Royal Guards at their posts… something wasn’t right, not at all.

The two girls would manage to make it all the way down to the entrance of the throne room without running into a single enemy. Nakiya glanced back to Nori, the worry clear on her face at this point.

“This won’t be easy…”
She started to say lowly, but then all of a sudden a long black object came soaring through the air. A massive hand grabbed Nakiya’s body and pushed her forcefully through the double doors of the throne room, smashing the demoness against the far wall of the throne room.

A second object came soaring towards Nori, though instead of aiming to grab her, it aimed to impale her with what looked like long claws. Upon closer inspection, you could see that the objects in question were actually stretched out arms.

“Damn it… Crowley!”
Nakiya roared as the sound of faint laughter could be heard from the origin of the extended arms. A red and black haired man stepped forward, wearing an outfit very similar to the elite outside, yet much more elaborate.

“You took your time getting here, princess. I even took the liberty of clearing the guards for you.”
He said confidently as he would continue to approach the girls.

(Jarvis and 21's Scenario)

The Demon’s lord attack seemed to do absolutely nothing to the blue haired saiyan that had come to aid the princess in her quest. However the demon didn’t look as if it bothered him too much that his attack did next to nothing. While frustrating, it was also quite interesting! A mortal creature that could actually stand up to demonic nobility!? It was almost unheard of!

“ohohoho you are quite the interesting creature! Perhaps when we’re done here I will keep you as a pet! You aren’t half bad looking for a monkey!”
The demon lord stated excitedly even as Jarvis seemed it fit to insult him. He simply chuckled and gave a shrug towards him as he began to fly closer to the saiyan.

“Yes I think it appropriate if you didn’t hold back my pet! Show me the power our little princess was able to gather!”
He chuckled but was quick to regret his words! The attack that Jarvis suddenly summoned caused the hairs on the back of his neck to stand on end. He couldn’t sense ki energy normally, but this attack had so much power too it, it was difficult not to feel it!

The demon lord took an airborne step back as he summoned more lightning around himself, creating a sort of electrical barrier as Jarvis’ energized fist came crashing into it. For a moment, the net of lightning seemed to catch the fist but only gave the Lord a moment of reprieve until the pure energy surrounding Jarvis’ fist dissipated the electricity and went crashing into his chest.

A loud cry escaped the Demon’s lips as the energy spikes stabbed into him before he was thrown away from his location, send crashing into the side of the castle and even sent right through it’s outer wall, disappearing into the rubble of the castle.

Everything seemed quiet outside of the castle as the last brick fell atop of the demon lord now buried in rubble. The smaller demons that had survived both Jarvis’ and 21’s attacks quickly turned tail and ran at the sight of their fallen lord, not even daring to look back up at the beings that had defeated him.

<<Cool you want to beat a lord’s ass? We’re going to need help in here>>
Nakiya’s voice was projected out towards Android 21. Even though she wasn’t actually speaking, her voice sounded panicked.

(Houri, Abzerute and Vulpeca's Scenaio)

<<That's exactly right. Now that we're inside, we're killing every last demon that crosses our path. The only ones you should consider not killing are those branded with a 6 pointed star on their necks. That's my masters family crest so there is still a chance that they are loyal.>>
Vulpeca spoke back to Abzerute silently, making sure that Houri could hear his silent words as well. He glanced back to the saiyan child and gave him a gentle smile and a nod, as if to assure him that the voice he had just heard was in fact his own.

As they walked into the castle however, there were very few guards beyond those that were guarding the outside. What they were greeted with however was a pile of dead bodies that had literally been squashed against the walls. Those bodies that had any distinguishable features, all had the 6 pointed star on their necks.

<<Okay... there goes that idea. This can't mean anything good. They might be waiting for her in the throne room. You two go on ahead. I'll catch up.>>

Vulpeca stated as he looked over the bodies more closely just to make sure that the marks weren't fake.

Jarvis watched the demonic lord fall as quickly as he'd risen. Lime a pompous food thinking he could stand against Jarvis and his growing power. But there was a reason they came in strong numbers. An he was right to trust Nakiya's judgment and planning. She hardly seemed the fool and she ha chosen well in her partners. Their power able to knock down this lords and send so many soldiers turning tail in a cowardice run. It wasn't gonna be long now before things should have sounded good. All squared away since so far the plan had gone well. 

Jarvis sensed in the rubble his hand searching for any energy signal. A little tired but for the moment holding his own and trying not to show any momentary fatigue. But the long he searched he wasn't picking up anything. If this lord wasn't dead he was either pretty sneaky or down for the count. Jarvis just sneering a bit but lowering his palm drawing in a couple heavy breaths as he finally allowed himself a moment of respite. Catching his breath and allowing himself to cool down in the cool breeze carried on the odd wind patterns of the demon world. Jarvis perched himself at a high up point above the battle near the rubble. His feet clacking on strange tiles of the roof. His mind not picking up on what 21 heard. Only if someone relayed this message to him would he even have any idea. 

Jarvis drawing in slow breaths his t-shirt a little sweaty and his boots crushing on the hard clay like tiles. Keeping a eye out and his head on a constant look around. His aqua hues scanning the horizon and occasionally firing the occasional blast into the distance when one tried to make a fly around or look as if they were coming in for some daring last stand. But luckily most the majority of the forces were making their flee. It seemed their bravery ran short quickly after seeing their leaders taken down with such ease. 

He looked constantly on a lookout and called down briefly at the whining android bellow. Jarvis rolling his eyes a little and chuckled. The kid or droid as hold as he was really was throwing a tantrum that made him seem ever the childish boy. Jarvis still annoyed by this metallic being but he wasn't gonna do anything foolish. At least not causing too much trouble would be valuable for both of them. "Do you always have to whine like a little broken radio whaling out status and dribble!" He'd say little idea the others may have been having trouble. Jarvis thinking for the most part things must have been going well. Judging from the fight he experienced within this battlefield made him think these forces were nowhere near prepared for what they'd brought with them. They after all were molded from the hardest of lives in the galaxy. They had experiences that gave him power and skill that far would allow them too apparently extend even beyond demon overlords. Waving off the android condescendingly mocking him in a way that may have been insulting but as well as jesting. Enough so perhaps to not pull a fight but just show some light ribbing. "Can you pull out the brains of the outfit robo boy? Maybe lend a mature mind to one of our allies. Trust me... I think I'm good without you for a little bit."Jarvis feeling a little smug after putting down one of the suppose big shots. Feeling this reward was gonna come as easy as pie. Soon he would taste the riches, gold, some sort of power he was promised... he and the demon queen herself. Him and Nori... he knew they'd get enough gold to make a life out of this. Start some new crew maybe or something... He knew this had to lead to something. Nakiya was gonna be good for them. This had to be the shot he was waiting for. 

- This, this is too easy… My Instinct tell We should not be separated now Mr Vulpeca, I think it is a trap, if we split now we will be vulnerable and disoriented… Let’s just check if there are any survivors in that pile, Then we move forward, if this is indeed a trap, we need to hurry, because, either, they know we are here and are waiting for us, or they do not know about us but are waiting at the throne room for Miss Nakiya, and if they are, then what is going on outside it is just to wear them out to take them down once they get to the room… I guess, I am just assuming they would do it. –

Having survived all his life in the wastelands proved that for someone to be able to improve and get to this point in life it was required more than just power, it required skill, luck, effort, instinct and intelligence. Maybe Houri was indeed innocent to most things, but he could feel when something was wrong, specially like this, in a combat situation. Somehow it seemed as if he had flipped a switch were his senses and skills were ready to spot any threat. He had a feeling that something was off, he was not really sure what or how, but all that seemed too easy for them, as if they were expecting everyone, as Vulpeca looked over the bodies on the ground Houri looked at to the ceiling, the corners, he was familiar with Nakiya need for control and information, and for a couple of seconds his mind worked back on his memories from the base. After a small silent moment, he spoke to his team.

- Mr Vulpeca, is there any surveillance room in the castle? Like in the base? If we could get to that room first we can disable sensors from this place or get the security feed for ourselves, just like in the base. And we can get information over what might be going on! -

Nakiya grit her teeth tightly as she began gathering her fire around her. At first it looked as if she was flaring up her ki but it soon looked more like there was an inferno raging around the demon as he charged herself up.

“don’t you dare even touch me!”
She growled as the flames started to lick at the hand holding her pinned against the wall before exploding outwards. The hand holding her was pushed backwards only slightly as the explosion ended up doing more damage to the wall and the surrounding room than to him.

“Now now princess, such a temper, it’s highly unseemly for the Devla heiress.”
He said with his cocky yet calm tone. When his second hand was caught by the saiyan female however, Crowley looked over with an almost annoyed expression on his face.

“I see you’ve found yourself a pet. It’s too bad it has such a limited lifespan.”
Crowley said boredly as he pulled his hand back away from Nori and out of her armour. His arm retracted back to his body and he opened his palm, pointing still at the saiyaness. Out of his hand, golden chains of Ki shot forward, aiming to wrap themselves around Nori so that they could hold her in place while squeezing her to death.

Assuming that his attack hit and disposed of the nuisance, Crowley walked towards Nakiya, his extended arm shrinking until it remained a regular length. He brought himself close to Nakiya, his face barely an inch away from her as his hand shifted to hold her neck against the wall instead.

“Don’t worry, I won’t be taking your throne from you completely. Every King needs a Queen, and who better than the first princess of Devla? Perhaps now you’ll start paying attention to my advances. Not that I will be giving you much of a choice in the matter.”
He said with smirk as he closed the gap between himself and Nakiya, placing his lips against her’s while still choking her against the wall.

Nakiya grunted as she kicked at his chins earning a frown from the would be Demon King. He tightened his grip around Nakiya causing her to gasp.

“You can be so hard to get.”
He whispered before he would turn his attention back towards Nori, ready to act at a moment’s notice.


~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~

Outside, the Demon Lord that Jarvis had just blasted remained buried under the rubble, and if anyone went looking, he would look to be unconscious but very much alive, almost as if he could spring up at any moment to continue his attack.

The castle grounds outside had grown rather quiet. The demon’s that had been battling there moments ago had made themselves scarce, even the goblins guarding the entrance that Vulpeca’s group had entered seemed to of have run away. They weren’t stupid, they weren’t about to stand in the way of this team of vastly superior creatures

~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~

“I know it doesn’t sound like a good idea Houri but we don’t have a choice...I know that this is a trap, a very obvious one too..”
If Houri looked closely at Vulpeca, he would be able to see that his eyes had turned into slits as he frowned. His anger was rising as he was able to confirm that these were in fact guardians of the Devla family. He didn’t know why he was so upset, he’d never met any of them, but he felt like something inside of him had triggered this response.

“There used to be a security depot down a couple of floors, but I doubt it will do us any good. There’s been no one in the castle for too long… and they’re probably ambushing Master Nakiya already. Shit…”
He growled as he stood up from his crouched position. Bright white and orange flames erupted around the fox demon as his anger exploded. He glanced down to Houri and back up towards the form of Abzerute that had gone off ahead.

“There’s a path this way… if they ambush him, we’ll pop up behind them. Come one.”
He said as he took off down a hallway that led to the left. With any luck, they would come up right behind their would be ambushers, having unintentionally used Abzerute as bait.


As Abzerute approached the Throne Room, he would find a woman crouched over the body of a guard, holding him closely as if stuck in a lover’s embrace. However, the men she was holding was very nearly dead, and the woman had her fangs pressed deeply into his neck, blood trailing down the side of his neck and dripping down onto the ground.

As the guard died, she would let the body fall down onto the ground, licking her lips and bringing her finger up to touch the blood on her tongue.

“Oh my… I think I’ve been quite the glutton today…”
She said as a small burp escaped her lips, causing her cheeks to turn red slightly. She would begin walking towards the hallway where she was meant to wait for the princesses forces and soon found a lesser demon attempting to peek into the throne room. She blinked at the curious sight, drawing her sword from her hip and swinging it in Abzerute’s direction.

She was still quite a ways away, however as she swung the blade, a black and blue flame like aura was launched towards the demon, aiming to take him apart before he even noticed she was there.

Learned in a panic and Used OT-2 Crimson Inferno: Not enough damage to move Crowley.

Reference: Think of the arm holding Nakiya like Devimons from Digimon

Jarvis's eyes flashed but snickered a moment after as he watched the more interesting mind take control from the loud mouth robot once more. Jarvis at least could deal with this one without feeling his head rage with aches of annoyance and irritation. But before he could snark out a response and rib this one a bit he cleared his throat and stiffened at the mention Nakiya was in trouble... Nori was with Nakiya. Was there really something here that was strong enough to give both them trouble. Jarvis biting his lip and sneering lightly under his breath and kicking off the tower he'd roosted on briefly in victory to chase right behind android 21. "Ah! This demons are a bunch of right cunts I tell you! I swear they don't know when they beaten! They better have not harmed either of them..." He'd say keeping that aura burning around him as his eyes lightly burned with rage. He'd so far chased them away so readily so if any were hiding like cowards or playing some cloak and dagger type of game to weasel around him to Nakiya and Nori he was going to ensure they regretted it for the short lives they had left. Nakiya given who was accompanying her making her even more of a prime target Jarvis had to get to know to protect. 

He didn't bother searching for the defeated foe. Believing he was dead or out of the game he had bigger fish to fry in a sense now. The small trout could be caste back into the sea this day and hopefully smarter then to seek further conflict again and know to avoid the hook next time. Jarvis wasn't in any form in the mood to be at all subtle in this. Rather then going through the halls of this palace he figured Nakiya given the war raging in present and past would need to make architectural alterations anyway. 

So when he quite literally tore through the layers of stone and protective walls ornate and strong as they were. Breaking through in a gust of power and rock dust. Leaving a giant gaping hole in the ceiling and rubble falling down like pebbles raining from the sky. He quickly presented himself. Floating high above and a look of extreme worry and anger on his face. Scanning the scene and taking it in quickly while also looking for any immediate threats. He was on snap reflexes at the moment like having a itchy trigger finger. His years as a smuggler all rushing him to be ready for those split second moments he'd need in situations like this to be ready for. 

He saw it though... Nakiya lip to lip with a demon that held her in grasp. An Nori and her head lightly slumped and he could smell her blood with his at the moment heightened senses from battle and adrenaline. He could... feel her energy. She wasn't dead but this fact was overlooked just from what he was seeing at the moment. His emotions taking more control then his mind would be able to. Clear thoughts shrouded with just... With something white hot. Hate! Just pure white hot hate and nothing else in his body or heart. 

His body already moving as if on reaction his power aura burning around him in the power he'd summoned as he attempted to smash downward into this demonic lord that seemed to be holding such power. Roaring out as he went so fast to tackle the man it was possible Nakiya may have been cough in some of the crossfire. He went straight for the man in all the speed he could muster trying to ram his shoulder into the man and try and pin him with a smashing blow to the ground. Jarvis wanting to knock the man into the ground even if the occurring smash of energy sent Nakiya flying back. If he somehow got lucky enough for this to work he'd waste little time trying to beat the man with his fists if he could somehow pin him down under him. "21 HELP NORI AND NAKIYA!" The words sounding like a order if not threatening. 

Like a alpha male or pack leader seizing the threat and calling for the others to seek shelter. He was claiming this kill if he could as he'd try to smash and pin this creature. To beat it if possible. In his mind something snapping... some form of connection all well held together minds had of reservation and careful thinking. Of problem solving and suppressing ones emotions. But now it was just hate... If he somehow pinned this creature he'd not give Nakiya nor Nori anytime or listen if they asked him to stop. He'd try to first chance he got. Grip the creatures head firmly in place. An unless this demon proved more rascally then Jarvis expected. He plunge each thumb or attempt to at least within the eyes of the creature before frying to split the head open with the added grip thumbs in eye sockets would aid to help split the head open like a bursting melon. If this demon was to avoid this he'd have to be highly clever and skilled given Jarvis's blind white hot rage and power. It was time to see just how powerful this demon lord really was. 

The bronze fleshed Kold Demon disguised as a lesser demon observed the woman ahead, going over the possibilities of what kind of demon she could be.<<Some form of vampiric entity that's for certain, judging solely from her feeding habits. Wearing what looks to be a maid's uniform, therefore subservient to whomever is currently occupying the castle, although her proximity to the throne room suggests a high ranking servant. And she's armed with a sword that is emiting a black and blue flame towards me... oh. Right. One moment.>> he thought towards Vulpeca as he braced himself.

With his train of thought disrupted by the attack, the Kold Demon unleashed his full power, removing the illusion around himself even as he tanked through the fires, his natural Kold Demon physiology giving him a much needed endurance enhancement. He retaliated with an arcing wave of his own energy, carving apart the fire surrounding him as it screamed towards the demonic sword wielding maid in front of him.

Abzerute cracked his neck slightly as he began to walk towards the woman. "Now, that was just rude. A maid should mind her manners, and know her place when greeting guests to her master's castle, even if her master's about to lose it to its rightful owner." the Kold Demon remarked off-handedly, smirking slightly towards the girl. "Judging by your attire, your skill with a sword as well as your feeding habits, I would be somewhat inclined to believe you are some form of Succubus type demon correct? Or is the outfit simply to satisfy some fetish of your master's?" asked Abzerute of the girl, as he began to slowly walk around the throne room.

He then stopped moving and gave a bow. "Ah, but here I am speaking of manners, whereas I have forgotten my own and not introduced myself. I am Abzerute, and it would be remiss of me to not at least give this offer, even though I am certain we're both aware you won't take it up." said the Kold Demon before he straightened back up to his full height. "But I don't suppose you'd simply care to surrender here and now? I'm sure that the Queen will offer you a position amongst her peerage if you submit to her willingly."

Nori would gently smirk as she looked up, seeing Jarvis crashing through the roof and pulling off such a stunt. Well, it sucked that Nakiya had to be caught in such an attack, but Nori knew that she would be fine, it wasn't a large attack that could kill any of them for that matter. But once the demon had disappeared, Nori would just slowly start moving a bit, letting in deeper breaths as she felt a bit able to move once more. "Freedom, is such a good feeling after that" the saiyaness would mumble to herself while the cannon would light up blue, showing that it was still spinning to a further stage of the attacks development. Though the person that had walked up to her was... well to say the least he wasn't somebody that she knew.

In fact, he looked a little bit like Mr.21, but in terms of overall look and even tone of voice... plus that personality. All of it was wrong, perhaps he was one of 21's friends that she hadn't met before? Though as he would talk a bit, her cannon would spin down, stopping its charge for the time being but saving the little bit that it saved up for the current time being, the lights flashing showing that should she need to, it could be fired and spun up a little bit more. "Alright... I'll save up my energy for now... but I should be fine. Are you a friend of 21? You look a bit like him but... not so much. Maybe a brother of some sort?" she would question to the man, looking over him a bit more. "Though... I don't know how you would get here even if you were... just who are you? I swear you didn't come in here with us..." she would just say a bit more, her head spinning a bit thinking about who this man could possibly be.

He surely wasn't one of the invading party... there was no reason for him to be helping them at all, it was pretty dangerous. But either way she would listen to him and start stepping back a bit, trying to get away from Jarvis and the Crowley person who seemed to be going into their own little brawling contest as Crowley would attempt an attack on Jarvis as well. But she had faith in her lover... he could do this all on his own if he truly wanted to. At least that is what Nori had faith in but her eyes would dart to Nakiya who was also doing something at this point.

"Well then, what is it that we have over there... Lady Nakiya..." Nori would smirk and gently mumble as she looked over at Nakiya. Whatever that sword thing was under the throne... it was surely going to become important, if it was allowed to be. But if those Demons were just allowed to do whatever they wanted there was a chance that it wouldn't be allowed to be important. With that, Nori would just look over towards the man who she didn't know the name of, with a smirk on her face, as she would start disobeying his direct command once more, the lights on her cannon lighting back up as she seemed to be getting a little more cocky as well as better. "What do you think our battle plan to help should be? I wont take 'but we can't help' for an answer either... if you don't have anything to do I'll find out what to do on my own!~" she would say, the cannon lights slowly filling a bit more.
