*Cal rolls his eyes and laughs*
Cal: Alright Sam, he's right. I'll have to ask you to wait outside, he'll be fine. I've done this... oof, it's got to be a couple thousand times by now. Anyways, just wait outside, and in a few hours you can shake his new hand yourself.


*Billy looks taken aback*
Billy: I-I went to help someone...


*Gharn winces as he takes a couple glancing blows then roars, and attempts to grapple a demon and bite it's head. Doesn't notice Maiev which is for the better as he'd probably gak his pants at the lifedrain*

*Rita maintains her position, and keep firing at demons with her Volt.*
*She concentrates fire on the desire demons.*

---
*Jake kisses Denny and then sits in a chair next to her bed.*
Jake: Get some rest.. I'll be right here when you wake up..
*He still holds her hand, and gives it a light squeeze of reassurance.*

*Leo hugs Scatty*

Leo: So Scatty what do you want to do now that we've eaten?

J: Yes, but you went on a possibly life threatening mission. You are not supposed to do that when you are in a relationship.
*Crosses arms*

*Denny nods, and closes her eyes*
*Drifts into a nightmarish sleep*

~

*Izriel continues poking demons*

*Whitakker gets a horrific sensation through the Neural Network as Copfyer is teamkilled*
Anomalous method of death. Does not match any recorded daemonic ability... Principal Rita, cover Principal Kara. I need to-
*Throws another grenade*

*Billy still looks surprised*
Billy: But I had t'help a friend, I know it was dangerous but I...
*Trails off, not really knowing what to say and being completely surprised by her outburst*


*Scatty shrugs*
Scatty: I'm going to leave that up to you. I figure I owe you. For when you came to meet my father.

*Leo smiles*

Leo: I guess you do owe me...

*Leo rubs her chin*

Leo: I think we are going to fight some stuff. Robots, aliens, monsters. I'm up for anything.

*Scatty nods*
Scatty: Sure, that could be fun. Where though?

*looks down at her wound (which is smeared/coated with blood, and has greenish marks where the talons hit) while fumbling for a vial, not noticing Maiev kill the agent*

*One Desire Demon falls to the Volt rounds, causing the other two to redouble their efforts*
Desire Demon 2 bucks at Gharn with her horns, and attempts to stab him in the gut*
*Desire Demon 3 leaps at Izriel*

*Rage demon howls as it reaches the group and throws a fist at Whittaker*

*Leo shrugs*

Leo: I don't know. You've been around for ages. I thought you'd know a place to throw down.

[Yarrick waves Benny and Kimmy off with a smile] [Checks the local PDF vox channels for news] ..!
[Scurries off and tells Amy that Jake, Denny and Perron are back, and that CBC is now a coat-rack]

[Perron smiles] Sure. Lemon and lime, if you can find it.

[Sam paces]

*Tries throwing up spear in time to intercept the demon*
*Gets brought down to the ground either way*

~

*Maiev steps forwards, a bit closer to the demons, and lets out a wave of fire that spreads from her, burning her slightly, in all directions except Kara's*
*Giggles from the pain, and spreads arms while still giggling*

~

*Jordan keeps her arms crossed*

*Gharn grunts as he's stabbed, but not too deep, then yanks the demon's head out by the horns and twists it sharply to break the demon's neck*


*Scatty shrugs*
Scatty: I do... but they're all off world, or in the Shadow Realms... Unless you want to find a fight club of some kind


*Billy sighs*
Billy: I did what I felt I had to, just know, I wouldn't have gone if I didn't think there wasn't a good chance of coming back. I don't want to have t'go through what I did with you.

*Whitakker dives out of the way, and rolls behind Gharn*
Target... anomalous individuals minus Principal Kara. Init neural network status MORRIGAN. Prime nanophage rounds for dispersal. Exoskeleton to automated movement and firing.
It's been a pleasure.
*Whitakker draws a lumine-edged longsword from the holster on his exoskeleton core, and it flares to life*

*Demon moans as her neck is snapped and roughly claws at Gharn's side*
We could have lived together. Away from all of this, you know.

*Rage demon bowls past Gharn and swipes at Whittaker, too focused on its first target to really notice the kitty*

*Izriel's Desire Demon shudders and hisses as the spear collides with it, and it swipes at her face with a taloned hand*

*Leo thinks for a second*

Leo: Now that I think about it... Fighting probably isn't a good idea... Cus I might lose it and kill people...... L---Lets just go to the gym...

*Whitakker swings his plasma-edged longsword up, and vaults off the wall, slicing at the demon's neck*

*Scatty looks sorry for Leo and hugs her*
Scatty: I'm sorry Leo... Let's just go to the gym yeah, maybe do some sparring?


*Gharn winces as he's clawed*
Gharn: Shut up Demon.
*He bites down on the demon's throat*

*Grabs at the demons hand, and manages to keep the claws from penetrating that deep*
*Falls backwards with the demon*

~

*Maiev continues striding forwards with the fire, giggling as she stays on fire*

~

*Jordan keeps her arms crossed*
J: I could have lost you. I could have gone through the same thing you did.

*Rita keeps blasting any demons that get to close.*

----
*Jake nods, and watches over the sleeping Denny.*
Jake: Get some rest..
*He gives her hand a squeeze.*

*Leo nods and follows Scatty to the gym*

*slumps against a wall and continues trying to treat her wounds*

*Languor sees Maiev and inclines his head at her*
The Herald's mate. A pleasure.
*leaps at Maiev, green energy shimmering around him*

*Gharn's demon finally dies while spluttering something far more profane*

*Rage demon hurls a blast of fire at Whittaker and punches at him, not bothering to try to block the hit*

*Izriel's demon smiles at her*
I've never seen a spirit like you before.

*Wade nods*
DP: Be right back, hun.
*teleports away and reappears a few moments later with Perron's ice cream*

*Billy goes to say something then stops and just nods*
Billy: I know but... I just felt I had to help him, and everything turned out okay in the end


*Gharn spits out some Demon then turns to see Izriel in trouble*
Gharn: NO!
*He runs to help her*


*Scatty leads them past Billy and Jordan and looks around *
Scatty: So, what've you got in mind?

*The fist connects solidly, crushing Whitakker's armor and snapping his exoskeleton cables*
*The sword lands on the ground next to Rita, and Whitakker lands on the altar, his spine snapped and face exposed through his cracked helmet, but still breathing*

*Continues wincing, and manages to twist the spear*
You'll never see one like me again.
*Eventually lets go of the spear, and uses both hands to fend the demon away*
I'm fine! Help the others!

~

M: A bitches bitch. A pleasure, I'm sure.
*Leaps right back at him, fire following her*
*Fires a mortal coil(not much dmg, just kinda hurting the soul a bit) at Langrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr in mid-air*
*Poof bang crash onomatopoeia*

~

*Jordan doesn't stop crossing her arms*
J: The point still stands.

*Leo shrugs*

Leo: I'm not sure. I haven't actually tested how strong I am. For all I know I could be far weaker then I was before.

*Whitakker grits his teeth and begins activating failsafe mechanisms, fighting past the wave of pain to pick up his holstered rifle*
*He loads three nanophage shells, and fires them directly into Languor*
*The rifle slips out of his fingers as his exoskeleton completely fails*

*SCatty nods*
Scatty: Sounds like a plan, so weight it is.


*Gharn looks torn, looks around, grabs a dead demon part and chucks it at Izriel's Demon before turning and going back into the fight*

*Rita growls, and keeps firing at the demons around her.*
*She wordlessly starts making her way to Izriel to support her.*

---
*Jake falls asleep.*

*Leo walks over to the weights with Scatty*

Leo: What one should I start with?

*Leo's tail sways slowly*
