The Devil In Jersey City

[Adimus]

Lou had been moving along nicely throughout the ruins of Jersey City, NJ looking for his next contact to move him along the path he walked while on this mission. He had been with Adimus up until a short while ago, when the two parted ways, each with a different assignment. Adi's was to continue to a station and head across the sea to Asia, while Lou's was to follow him but only after he had met up with a particular contact the Jade Order had made years ago, and it seemed that whoever he was supposed to make contact with was in Jersey City.

Another interesting topic to note, was the Lou was also supposed to team up with someone totally new, an idea he wasn't fond of.

"Ya know, I don't mind working with others, I just hate having to actually work with them, ya know Brain?" Lou said to his own mind, thinking of who he was to work with and why.

"You're aware that you made zero sense with that last statement right?" His Brain said in response.

"Dude, I don't care man! But I just hope that they don't mess with my bombs, my babies, or my twins, or else I'll have to kick their ass six ways into next week man." Lou said, referring to his hatchets, uzi's, and variously assorted explosive collection. Fiddling his gloves, Lou started to climb the rubble and move along the urban wasteland, exploring each area as thoroughly as time would let him, picking up various items he could use later.

"Dude, check this out! It's a switchboard! I can make an AWESOME bomb with this!"
"Hey, dude ~" His Brain said mocking Lou, "No one cares, cause your bombs suck. You suck. Nice switchboard though. Faggot."

"Fuck you too Brain, fuck you too."

Moving along, Lou began to feel a lower level Spirit Pressure. It didn't feel particularly powerful, but it wasn't exactly weak either, simply, unrefined, like his. Moving towards, he took the guess that it must be the other person he was to team up with, and began to wonder who they had sent. Moving out towards an empty street lined with rusting vehicles and garbage, Lou saw a lone figure off in the distance, and by the looks of it, they were freshly dropped off not too long ago.

"Hey, you! Over here!" Lou said waving his hand in the air, moving towards the figure to find that it was a rather attractive woman. "My now, looks like the Jade Order finally has some nice ladies to send out! Name's Lou, and since we're probably going to be working together, Ima lay down a few ground rules: One, don't touch my hatchets. Two, don't touch my Uzi's, and three, do not, I repeat, DO NOT, touch my bombs. I love them. Alot. Now then, I do hope you're my contact, because I'll be pissed if I just told you all that for nothing now." Lou said hands on his hips looking at the woman standing in front of him.

[xamaichanx]

Alexandra, the new recruit of the Jade order, waved goodbye to her ride as she smiled. So far, it had seemed that the Jade Order was made up of quite a few nice people. Then again it could be because she is a female. Her eyes looked around the area at which she was dropped off.

"This is where I'm supposed to meet my partner..? What a dump... Can't Americans keep their cities a bit more clean? Even if they are destroyed... Try to clean up?" She asked herself as she looked around at the dark red bricked buildings which no longer completely stood. An occasional store here and there. It was kind of comfy looking besides the dreary feeling in the air. The sound of someone talking in the distance had hit her ears and made her sigh lightly to herself. Was her partner here already?

Her eyes closed as she leaned against a slightly damadged dark red car, the windshield was smashed in but the rest of teh car seemed to be in okay shape. Her arms folded and crossed together over her chest while her ice-blue eyes slowly fluttered to a close. The footsteps got louder before she heard someone actually talking to her. She opened her left eye as the man came closer before letting them both open and gaze over the man.

'My my.. He talks alot..'

[/i] She thought before standing straight and proper. A smirk formed on her lips as she looked the man up and down, taking notice of his appearance, the placement of his weapons and the sound of his voice. 'Thank goodness though.. I'll be able to keep track of him so much easier..'[/i] She thought once more.

"Understood. Nice to know that my partner does have his own boundary bubble, I guess I could say. I have a few of my own. Don't touch the sword, don't touch locket and definitely don't touch me unless it is to shake my hand or help me in a situation.. I'm not a very touchy person. If that is alright with you. If not, I'm very sorry to hear that but I suppose I can't do much about it. None the less, I'm Alexandra Callistan. You are?"

Her voice was soft and kind though her words seemed rude. She smiled at the man as kindly as she could as she began playing with the locket around her neck. It swayed between her fingers as she looked up at the male with her ice-blue eyes practically glowing due to the light coming from the sky above.[/blockquote]

[Adimus]

Lou liked at how gorgeous the girl looked, but didn't like her tone of voice. Just had that, Kind but bitchy tone to it. Then again he might get to like her. And she wasn't american. Kind of a plus in his eyes. But even with her baby blue eyes and hot bod, Lou knew all too well that business was business and fun was fun, and him being a 1Sgt treated his soldiers like daughters and sons, so the faster he got this job done, the faster he could send this girl along her way and he could met back up with Adi. "My name is Lou, and I'm too am a new recruit under the Jade Order, only that I'm not really new, just, newly ranked. Long story. It would seem that you're supposed to help me with my objective and follow me until it is met, that or go about and do whatever your master has set for you to do. With that said, I think we should be moving along." Lou said as he motioned with his head for her to follow him as he began moving in the direction he was instructed to go beforehand.

"Ooo, Mr. Big Man now eh Lou? Good luck with this one, and this mission, you're gonna need it." Brain chimed in.

"Duly noted Brain, thank you and no more comments from the peanut gallery please." Lou said to his mind, which probably looked as if he was hearing voices in his head. Which he kinda was, but that's besides the point.

What was the point was what this girl knew, and thinking about how much she knew, Lou wanted to make sure she knew what she was getting into, and he asked her "Alright then, did the Generals tell you anything as to why you just got dumped off in the middle of a dead city, let alone who else you're looking for?"

[xamaichanx]

The female heard his tone and lightly gripped her side, trying not to come off rude toward this man. After all, her seemed to be in charge of things, not like she needed an enemy in her new position. 'He doesn't seem to like me much... Guess I did come off rude.. Oh well. Have to get over the past at some point.' She looked over the man as he began to walk. Her heals began to click behind him, showing she was following him as she placed her hands on her hips lightly then dropping them.

She watched the man as he seemed to talk to himself, causing her to smile faintly, shaking her head a bit. 'Quite the strange man...'

[/i] she thought as her ice blue eyes glistened from the light of above. Her blade remaining latched to her back as she walked. She began to slip into a daze until she heard the man begin to speak to her, at which her eyes glanced at him calmly.

"In all honesty, the General did not tell me what I was doing here, he merely told me that I was to come here and meet another from Jade order. From there, the one that I am to meet would know what was needed. If infiltration was needed then I would be of great use with stealth but if not, I could still give back up. Thus for me being here. So I take it you know what we are doing here..?" She asked as she placed her hands behind her back, holding each hand in the other while not touching her blade.[/blockquote]

[Adimus]

"I see." Said Lou scratching his chin.

"They know less and less these days bucko." His Brain said to him.

"That they do." Lou replied. "We're here to find a local legend that isn't a local legend but an actually being. In the pine barrens nearby here was a legend of a devil that inhabited the woods. As is said, he was the 17th child born unto a very unhappy woman, who decided to curse the poor thing like a bitch and ended up actually cursing him, turning him into a demonic human. A demonic human that's over 200 years old, almost 300 now." Lou said, as if this was all run of the mill activity. "The thing is, the guy was feared and blamed for all sorts of bad things by the villagers and townsfolk as time went on, mainly because he showed up during Halloween and Times of War. The Halloween was because he could come out and people would think it was a costume, and times of war because he could predict the future. At the moment, we need the latter ability." Lou stated to Alex, now letting her know what the mission was.

"Find the Jersey Devil, Get the info we need out of him, and be on our merry way should we be so lucky. Now then, the man likes books and pretty things. I have a bunch of shiny shit in my pocket, and with your face and the bag of books with gold thingies on them, I think we'll be just fine!" Lou said to Alex, as they moved into the seedy underbelly of the subway system that ran under the city like honeycombs in a beehive.

[xamaichanx]

"I'm sorry to tell you that, they just don't tell us much information" Alexandra had said after his response to her not knowing much of what would happen. Slowly her eyes glanced away from the male and to the sky, watching the sky slowly dim as the sky began turning a light orange and pink coloring. Slowly her eyes located themselves back to the man that was talking.

The female nodded slightly with each bit of detail the man gave her. Slowly her eyes closed as she felt the movement of the shadows around her, paying attention to him as well as their surroundings. Slowly the female's eyes opened as she heard the rest of his words on the one they were looking for. Her hands gripping each other in a calm manor while she watched the man's movements to make sure he seemed calm and would not rise suspicion if they needed to lay low for some unforeseen reason.

'Jersey Devil... Fitting name.. Especially if he is living in this place..'

[/i] She thought to herself as the man continued to talk. She listened to his words calmly before hearing his words 'With your face and the bag of books with gold thingies on them, I think we'll be just fine!' slightly caught her off guard. She looked at the male once again as her left eyebrow slightly cocked upward.

"What do you mean by... My looks?" She asked him as she continued to walk behind him. Her icey eyes seeming to stare right through his head as they moved into the subway system. Her tone of voice was questioning yet quiet and calm. She did not want to give away their location to the enemy if there were any.[/blockquote]

[Adimus]

Lou looked back at Alex giving her the up-down head shake to check out her body. "Miss, if you seriously think yourself to not be a rather attractive woman, you seriously need glasses. You're pretty, and the Jersey Devil likes pretty things." He said as he kept moving through the tunnel.

Projecting his aura outwards, Lou sensed ahead to see if there was anything waiting for him that was hostile. Satisfied after finding nothing -too- big to worry about, He drew his uzis and pressed forward. "If you can sense them, then you know there's a few hollows up ahead. They ain't strong, but if they group up they can be a real pain in the ass. Brain, Ima need your full cooperation this time around." Lou said to himself and to Alex.

"Ya know, just because I don't wanna die cuz your st00pid ass fucked up, I'll go along and help ya with this one. Don't expect it to happen again." Brain replied.

"Thank you honey." Lou said in a very sarcastic tone.

Just then, three hollows appeared, each one very similar to each other, and feeling as if they were the elite of the basic. "My my, how quiant," Lou said gesturing like a girl playfully, "Such strapping young hollows comin` to greet us!" Lou said before dropping the act and raising his Uzi's. "Better show em that good hospi - fucking - tality!" He yelled at he unloaded his Uzi's into the hollows.

{Alex and Lou have joined the party! Lou is a soldier type, meant for heavy combat, but comes with the added bonus of piloting vehicles and engineering explosives! Alex is a covert Spec Soldier, meaning she can sneak through and choke a bitch! Plan your attacks well and fight as hard as you cna player 1!}

[xamaichanx]

Lucky for Alexandra the man was walking ahead of her. The reason for this was her reddened cheeks which only darkened as he said she was pretty. Her eyes watched the ground for a moment but the female quickly shook it off and got back on guard. Her spirit pressure remaining suppressed as usual as she walked behind the male.

They had walked for quite some time and soon the female unlatched the blade from her back. Upon doing this, she heard the man, Lou, tell her about hollows up ahead. She shook her head as he seemed to be ready to kill anything, making her laugh to herself.

As they continued venturing ahead, three hollows dropped from up above and blocked the path of the two jade order officials. Just then, the act from Lou was something that was hard to keep from laughing. With his little distraction, Alexandra began manipulating the the shadows which encased the area and coiled the shadow around one of the hollows.

Slowly, the screams of the hollow were engulfed by the shadow which slowly consumed it. As the hollow was slowly destroyed, from the bottom up, it was tortured by the pain. The final thing to be destroyed was the mask.

As if on cue, after all of the hollows were defeated another batch seemed to rise from no where. 'Nope.. Never saw that coming..' She thought to herself in a sarcastic tone as she lifted her blade, ready to dash at the closest hollow to her.

[Adimus]

Lou shot one of the hollows literally into shreds, watching as its corpse turned into dust and dissolved away. Then he heard a scream. -The- scream. A blood curdling one, and turned around to find one of the hollows being swallowed up and devoured by a shadow on the ground. This actually disturbed Lou a bit, which was hard to do. "Jesus, even peoples own shadows can kill now, ugh." He said as he gave a small shudder.

Right when they had killed more, Lou sensed another batch coming his way, and right on cue 5 more appeared around them and pounced. Lou had little difficultly dodging their attacks and retaliating with his own, blasting one of the hollows to living hell. The next one he fought however would be a bit of a toughie, since it's outer shell was pretty damn thick, and even though Lou unloaded even his strongest shots into it, he couldn't penetrate it.

"What the hell man, I even upgraded my rounds and it's barely scratching it!" Lou exclaimed.

"Use your hatchets numbnuts, hack the fucker to death!" His Brain yelled at him.

"Ya know that ain't a half bad idea! Ebony!!!! And Ivory!!!!!!," Lou sang in a deep imitation of a baritone voice, "Hack together in perfect harmony!!! Yeaa!" Lou rang out as he ran at the hollow with his twin hatchets drawn and hacked the damn thing to bits.

The small victory was not to last however, because as soon as that one died, many more appeared. "This ain't good, at this rate we'll be killed by sheer numbers, gotta find a way out..." Lou said with a slight hint of desperation. Just then, a weird and twisted aura came down upon them, filling the whole room, and suddenly each hollow was subsequently cut in two, killing them instantly. "What the hell was that shit!?" Lou yelled, looking around for signs of what could've done that.

"Why are you here Errand Boy, and what do you want of me?" a voice that was scratchy and dark. It echoed outward into the opening of the tunnel system and back to Lou's ear, sending a small shiver down his spine.

"Be tactful Lou, this guy would fuck us so hard in the ass you'd never shit right again."

"And that coming from the guy telling me to be tactful. Noted Brain, noted." Lou said before speaking out to the voice, "My name is Luis Myung-Ki, member of The Order Of The Jade Lotus Dragon, and I am here to speak to the one known as the Jersey Devil. You wouldn't happen to be him would you?" Lou asked in the air.

"I am he human, and what do you require of me, in this day so badly marred by the fires of war?" The voice rang out yet again.
"We wish to ask you for your gift of foresight, and if at all possible, lend us some more information and tell us what exactly we might do to make this place not so marred and stuff." Lou asked the voice.

After a moment of silence and darkness, a swirl of energy began to form in the center of the room, and from it rose a figure with dark emerald skin, and a seemed to be wearing a type of helmet shaped like an eagle's beak, with golden hues, and blood red wings protruding from it's back. It didn't exactly have legs, just a stalk sticking out from the base of the energy pool, and in it's hand was held a blood red scythe that seemingly dissolved back into the beings hands. It then spoke, no longer with an echo, but still retaining the dark scratchy tone as before. "I am the one you seek, and ask what you will of me Jadling."

"I need you to reach for the threads of fate and sands of time and tell me whatever you can. And if you cannot do that, then please answer my questions on what my race can do to turn the tide of things within our world." Lou asked as nicely as he could muster up, bowing and showing every bit of respect he could towards the Devil.

The devil simply looked at Lou and asked "What offering did you bring for me, for my services for the race that has abandoned my existence do not come easy nor free. Show me human, what things you have given me." The Devil said.

Looking to his bag, Lou pulled out several ancient tomes and scriptures, and several shiny articles of clothing and jewelery to show to the Devil, and then he pointed to Alex, stating, "The Jade Order also knows that you like to look at the prettier ones of our kind. So well, here they are. Try not to violently kill me please, or take her for good, or any length of time." Lou said looking back at Alex, then to the Devil again as he spoke.

The Devil looked upon the offerings, and quickly decided that they would suffice. Drawing near Alex with freakish grace, The Devil looked her up and down slowly, breathing somewhat heavier for a moment before pulling back. "She is a beautiful woman, and a fine specimen of your species. It's a shame I no longer desire pleasures of such a nature, and even looking has gotten boring. I shall take all but her, and as for the gift of foresight, allow me some time and you shall have it. As well as a parting gift. Now silence mortal, and allow me my concentration." Said The Jersey Devil as he quickly formed back into the portal on the ground, and meditated.

What went through his mind at that point was an object Lou could only speculate, and seeing how Lou himself wasn't much of a thinker, he stepped towards Alex and explained to her why he had said what he said.

"The Jersey Devil has helped us many times in the past. One of the more recent and most notable one was telling us of the worlds impending catastrophe, which allowed the Jade Order to build and dome the cities we have today. The reason why you were sent here was because you're attractive basically, and as you heard from himself, he no longer has ways of being with anyone, but to look upon beauty as he puts it, is a great gift to him. Thank you for the help Alex." Lou said graciously, which was a bit out of character for him, but he felt he had to if he wanted to avoid being choke slammed inside one of Alex's shadows.

[xamaichanx]

Alexa shrugged at the sound of the screaming hollow. A light laugh escaping her as she head Lou's comment of her shadows. Her head turned to speak to him as her delicate lips parted. "Shadows aren't so bad.. I've seen creepier things on a battle field.. You should know that." She said with a slightly teasing voice before winking at him.

Right as she was turning to face the shadow that had slain the hollow of before, a new batch seemed to appear on cue. A glint of excitement entered Alex's eyes as she let her shadows go to work and begin to eat away one of the hollows. Right as her shadows lunged toward the large hollows and engulfed one, the screams did not occur but instead they reached a silent death.

She continued to sway her hands, engulfing each hollow as quickly as she could but with each one that was destroyed a group would appear to take it's place. A slight growl of disapproval slipped from Alex's lips as she fought back against the groups of hollows, hearing Lou's words cry out about their currant opponents.

She had turned her head toward Lou as she heard his words. Once seeing her guard had slightly dropped, another hollow had gone to attack Alex from behind. As she turned around and was about to use her shadows to block the oncoming attack, the hollow vanished. An expression of disapproval crossed over Alexandra's face as she lowered her hand to put her shadows on guard.

When she heard Lou shout again she turned to face him before hearing a voice ring through her ears. Her eyes scanned the surrounding area before she looked over at Lou as he began to speak to the voice. As the voice introduced its self to be the Jersey Devil she closed her eyes and relaxed a bit.

As Lou did all the talking, Alex relaxed herself a bit more but kept her shadows on guard as she watched Lou's movements and listened to his tone of voice. A swirl of darkness caught her eye as the female looked over it, seeing the Devil take his form. Her eyes grazing over the being as her arms slowly folded over her chest.

As the Jersey Devil spoke she watched it's every movement. Her eyes watching the being before looking over at Lou once more. 'I suppose he needed me for back up and that's all.. I suppose I could take my leave..' She thought and was about to turn to walk away when she heard the devil ask about an offering of some sort.

When Lou had mentioned her as an offering, a slight fuse went off within her, causing her to stay and wait to see how he would explain himself about her being a gift for the Jersey Devil. As Lou explained what he believed the Devil would gain from seeing the young female.

Her temper lowered slowly as he relaxed once more until he moved toward her. Her body slightly tensed but seemed relaxed, as he looked over her being. Her breathing remained calm as she felt slight chills run along her spine as she felt a the light dance of his breath over her before he pulled away. Her eyed glancing over the Devil as he began to talk to Lou once more. Seeing the creature sit and begin to meditate, her glance switching over to Lou.

As Lou explained the situation, Alexandra only nodded from time to time. Her eyes looking up at him. The female slowly nodded as he finished talking but she was taken back by him thanking her. A light smile gracing over her lips as she nodded a bit before speaking to the man.

"You have no need to thank me. I'm more than happy to help. Also it's kind of my job to assist you, isn't it..? So.. When he's done with telling us what we need to know... I guess we're heading our separate ways, huh?" She asked him as her eyes glanced at the ground then back up at him. Her body relaxing as she let her shadows lower their guard and return to being normal shadows instead of a weapon of torture and destruction.

[Adimus]

"Haha, seperate ways, something tells me that's not going to happen so easily" Lou said quietly, gazing upon the Devil delve into the future to see what he could find. "He seems a bit agitated, and he also says we get gifts! To be honest I kinda don't wanna part with you, you're awesome in a bar fight and could probably fit well into a team with me and my buddy. Besides, not like you have anything better to do once you go back to wherever you came from but to sit and wait as we get to have all the fun!" Lou said to Alex, offering her a spot in the travels and adventures that were to come.

Before she could answer however, the Devil erupted from the shadow mass, very distraught and somewhat angered by what he had seen.

However, what he saw, was nothing.

"I have tried to peer into the future, and it is.....Clouded. I see nothing but paths set before you all, no definite visions nor scriptures to give. As such, i cannot fulfill my end of the bargain, and I am sorry." The Jersey Devil said unto Lou and Alex.

"Well that's just fucking lovely ain't it. Guy says all this neat shit will happen and bam the guy can't even piss straight." Brain said.

"Brain, silencio punta, now is not the time." Lou said in response. "Mr. Devil, um, sir, It's alright, these things happen, and not even our seers could see into the future, which is why we came to you. But if you can't that just means we get to write a new slab for Fate right?" Lou said with a cheery disposition, one that must have made the Devil feel both bad and sorry for humanity, because he proceed to give Lou "Gifts" to give to himself and certain others.

"For the Wayward Dragon, give him his fire, his rain, his wind and his soil. Take these, you know who I mean, and he will know what to do when he needs to." He said as the Devil handed Lou four tiny gem stones, each a different color representing an element. Lou figured that a Wayward Dragon must mean Adimus, since after all that was one of his battlefield names during the first Great War, and he also noticed four empty slots on his sword's hilt and pommel. Of course, speculation is speculation, but for right now, it made sense to him.

"As for you, The Man Of The Mind's Inferno, I grant you a plaything, one as brilliant as you should be able to find many a use for it..." The devil said, pulling out of the shadow mass a rather freakish looking dagger with what appeared to be a chain and a hook attached to it. The damn thing gleamed and glistened in the demonic glow that came from the Jersey Devil, making the weapon appear as a tasty item for Lou. Grabbing it, he immediately noticed it took hold of a charge of his spirit energy, and when he swung it around and hit a nearby wall, the wall exploded, and Lou immediately fell in love with the new toy the Devil had given him. "Oh my god Devil you ROCK DUDE! This is AWESOME I am NEVER going to NOT not use this thing dude!" Lou said jumping for joy like a giddy school child.

"And as for your friend the Knight Of The Old Ways, give him this, it will aid him when the time comes." Said the Devil handing Lou an extremely aged tome, lined with runes all across the books face and back. It was attached and held together by a rustic but well made silver link chain, and seemed to bear little actual weight at all. "Neat, I could only guess who that twit could be." Lou said sarcastically.

The Devil smiled at the amusement of the mentally broken human, and moved over to Alex. His looked seemed to be a contemplative one as he wondered what to give her as a gift. After she had come all this way and it would be a shame to let a pretty girl go without anything to show for it. "Young woman......What to give you.....Hmmm....Decisions decisions." The Devil spoke, rubbing the chin beneath his beak shaped helmet.

[xamaichanx]

Alexandra laughed softly to herself as she heard Lou's words. A smirk played over her lips as she crossed her arms over her chest. She looked away from the man, as if contemplating on if she wanted to join him or not but it didn't take long for her to make up her mind. "Hm.. I-." She started but was cut off with the beginning of the Jersey Devil's words.

A sigh of disappointment slipped from her lips as she closed her eyes for a moment. She bit her bottom lip for a moment but then released it as she opened her eyes and looked at the Jersey Devil just as he began to talk once again. She looked over at Lou as he began talking to the Devil. It seemed that no matter what she did the least talking. How is that a normal woman?

Hearing Lou's cheery tone made her laugh lightly as she shook her head a bit, a small smile playing over her lips. As the Devil proceeded to give gifts to Lou for himself and others she closed her eyes, noticing the nicknames that were given and wondering as to who each one was, besides Lou. She didn't really pay much attention to what was actually given.

The sound of of Lou's sarcasm made her lightly laugh to herself before feeling the slight movement of the Devil toward her. Her eyes opening as she looked at him. A gift for her would have to work with her shadows and possibly make things easier when she worked with her shadows. She looked over the Devil as she swayed her hand behind her back, causing her shadows to sway a bit and get a bit defensive as always.

Upon seeing the moving shadows, the Jersey Devil tilted his head before looking over Alex once more. He moved around her and looked over the shadow then back at the young female. He then began to speak once more as he looked at her. "A shadow as your weapon..? Then maybe a weapon to work with your shadow..." The devil said as he slipped a small attachment onto Alexandra's gunblade.

Her eyes looked over the black and white attachment as it seemed to move into the blade and change the coloring. The handle slowly turning black as the blade itself turned completely white with the edge of the blade turning an onyx color. Her eyes looked over the blade as the Devil gave off a slight not of approval.

Alex nodded her thanks to the devil as she placed her hand over her blade gently, the texture feeling a bit antsy, as if alive. She shrugged it off and looked over at Lou and nodded before back at the devil. "Thank you ever so much for all of this, sir." She said as she gave off a grateful smile which was rare.

[Adimus]

The Devil nodded at Amai and Lou and rose up in the sky, suspended by a stream of dark energy. "I take my leave. Give to those that must be given unto, and forgive me for not aiding you further. prepare for dark times, and expect darkness before sunrise." And with that the Devil vanished into the ceiling, disappearing within a vortex of demonic energy. A resounding "Good Luck Human" echoed through out the area as he left.

"Welp," Lou began to say, "I guess it's time for us to leave. I believe there's an opening up ahead." Lou said as he moved through the tunnels once again. However, as he moved along, he noticed their way being blocked by debris and was almost at a loss for what to do next.

"Dipshit, test out your new toy. That or make a bomb, c'mon now." Brain said.

"Good idea Brain, let's give this thing a try eh?" Lou said as he picked up his new dagger and let loose the weighted chain on it. "It kinda feels like a Kama and Chain combo, man that brings back memories." Lou said as he began to charge up the dagger {For future reference, it takes one post to charge, this one time is on an inanimate object and to demonstrate its use} and when it was ready, he chucked the weighted hook at the blockage, causing it to explode and clearing the way for him and Alex. "Well now, this thing does have it's advantages. Let us be on our way Alex." He said as he climbed out of the tunnel system into the daylight.

"Ya know, I noticed alot of extra tunnels and stuff down there, almost like a giant worm or something had been through there. Plus there was alot of ground shaking not caused by us. Wonder who or what could've caused that....Meh Oh well." Lou said as he stretched his limbs out. Just then, an odd spirit pressure caught his senses, and he immediately recognized it as Adimus. "Oh, my, GAWD! IT'S HIM!!!" Lou exclaimed, as he began to run in the direction.

"Alex c`mon, it's him, my friend! This guys a total bad ass you'll love him I promise! Let's go!" Lou said excitedly, knowing he'll finally be able to meet up with his best friend after so long.
