    Brooks arm flew in the opposite direction, his glove off and part of the sleeve still attached. It landed on the floor with a splat, and Deer looked at it. Brook brought his other arm to his now empty shoulder, leaning forward. He looked at it, only now processing what had happened. "I-It's gone? B-But..." H-how did she..." He turned back to look at her. "...No..." A bead of sweat fell from his face. Scarlet had fully transformed into her demon. He couldn't make out what it was, it was coming from everywhere in spikes. Her clothes were still on and intact. It was disturbing.

   She seemed like she or it was trying to talk, but it just made sounds. "Fuck... this is exactly what I thought was going to happen." It said something again, but it wasn't heard. It seemed to become more aggressive, taking a much bigger form. 'That initial blow was shocking, but I can easily dispose of her now that I know what's happening... The demon fully took over her in a matter of seconds... How pathetic... But that's irrelevant. A loose demon with no control is stupid and weak. I'll just need to land one good strike.'

     The deformed demon started walking towards him. Brook raised his remaining arm in front of him, staring at the demon in front of him unphased. The demon made a screeching sound, charging at him at full speed. Brook's eyes widened looking at part of her demon, which had penetrated through his hand and glove. '..How the fuck.. did she break through my demon energy?!'

   It screamed again, trying to push forward. The spike going through his hand was dangerously close to his neck now, and she kept shoving. He trembled slightly, shocked. The rest of her demon coming from where her head and neck should be going around him, like teeth. A green arrow went right through where her face would normally be, but she just ignored Deer completely as they kept firing arrows. 'I...I can't... Hold...'

     She pushed forward again, the spike through his hand going through his throat. He let out a gasp, and she dragged it down still inside of him. 'I... Can't.. push back... is this.. the strength.. of a demon unshackled from humanity?' The demon sliced through his torso almost completely, and he looked at her surprised. His shirt was soaked in blood, and he brought his leg up to kick the parts of her that were still clothed. There was a crunch. A part of the demon wrapped around his leg, and an arrow went into his knee. "Sorry! My bad!" Deer yelled from behind Scarlet. 'Fucking Dumbass..'

     The demon yanked Brook, tossing him far to the side. He skidded across the pavement, still on his feet. His leg was crumpled in on itself, standing there. It was just the bone now practically, and it quickly ceased to work. Brook collapsed to the floor. Deer was mumbling curse words to themselves as they kept firing in vital points where it would kill a person, but Scarlet's demon seemed unphased as she kept advancing towards Brook. 'She crushed the bone... I won't be able to stand anymore... my right hand is wrecked... I can only move two fingers... and my left arm is gone completely...'

    He was in trouble. He doubted Deer would be much help since they were of similar strength. They might be able to avoid being hit by the demon, but if they tried to attack it wouldn't end well. He watched as it kept advancing towards him, trying to say something. Several green arrows were sticking out of it. Brook tried to scoot back slightly on the concrete. "..Look at you... I can't even tell what shape your demon is supposed to be. You have no more humanity. You're only an agent of death now." It took a step towards him. "You shouldn't have toyed with her. You should have just killed her." Deer yelled from behind again, their bow nowhere in sight. Brook shot them a glare.

     "Now.. when you're done with me, you're going to begin your rampage. And you're going to kill everyone. Sinner's mark or not. No one is going to be able to stop you." The demon, ever so close now, said something. Then it screamed and came down on Brook, tearing him limb from limb. As it was finished, it turned around. Deer hid behind a garbage can, but they accidentally hit it and it made a noise. The demon followed the sound, dragging them out and dismembering them as they pouted in defeat.

     Chase sat in the crowded street, looking at TrackMate on his phone. "Scarlet... I'm not going to let you deal with everything alone." He stated simply, before pressing start.

(You know it's bad when Graveweaver doesn't have the author's note. Just sweating.)

BONUS SCENE!!

    Deer and Brook's severed limbs lay spread out around the alley. Deer and Brook's heads were next to each other so that they could see one another out of the corner of their eyes. "So... does this mean we're fired?" Deer asked, breaking the silence. "Would you be serious for one second?! This is extreme." Brook raised his voice. "Sorry, sorry..." Deer looked to the opposite side.

    "Of course not, I already got my sinner today." "Shut the fuck up!"
