Once the fight has sorted itself out and Pyronica has gone to file a complaint or something, the Henchmaniacs are a surprisingly cool and close group. 8-Ball and Teeth are the freaky versions of Shorty and Gene, Paci-Fire is a nightmarish delight, Kryptos is the voice of reason, and there are so many other members who would take all day to explain. The only bad news from these guys is that Pyronica is the leader when Bill isn't around, and she kinda hates my guts for dating her ex. Oops.
Currently we're playing "Spin the Human," with me being the human who is being spun, of course. Being spun at high speeds isn't exactly my favorite past time, but it beats being killed by a crazy demon woman. My head points at Teeth. Teeth looks at me in dread before being absorbed by the walking loaf of bread with a party hat: Xanthar. I slowly sit up, the world spinning around me. I close my eyes and look down before I can consider looking at the world "safe."
"Can I have a spin?" I quietly ask. The demons look at me before they laugh.
"The little human wants to play!" A demon taunts.
"This isn't 'Spin the Demon!'" 8-ball cackles.
"Listen, (Y/N)," Kryptos says, "Just because Boss likes you, it doesn't mean you're actually one of us, and you have to be a demon to play our games, for we're not the type to accommodate for..limited abilities."
"Well, I want to at least try ," I say, "I don't think one round is a lot to ask." The demons whisper among each other before they seem to come to an agreement.
"If you can spin yourself, you can have yourself a round," A demon says. The Henchmaniacs chuckles as I lie back down and close my eyes. I side-kick a demon with both of my feet to get momentum needed to spin. The demons are suddenly amazed by my spinning. I mean, yeah, the spinning is slower than normal, but I eventually do land at Paci-fire. I open my eyes and flip over to have a better view.
"Your brain would explode before you can fully consume," Paci-fire says.
"Oh really?" I ask, "Says who?" I get up and run at the double-mouthed demon. I grab an arm and sink my teeth into the leathery flesh, trying to tear it off. Paci-fire gives some horrific screech in pain. I manage to tear some skin and take it with me back to the middle, where I proceed to flex on the already-surprised demons by finishing my snack.
"Wow," I say, "You guys taste disgusting!"
"Hey, this human is actually pretty cool," A demon says amidst laughter. My shoulder gets patted as I can't help myself but smile. Of course, the moment can't last forever as I see the eye-bats flying in for a proper meal. I get up.
"That must be my cue," I say, "Bill will be expecting me." I walk off to look for a throne, where Bill presumably sits.
I make it to the throne when I hear two voices. Pyronica and Bill are in a large, circular room with a black marble throne. I look down the corridor to see that they are indeed talking...obviously. I hide behind a pillar and listen to the two talk.
"You know there's no reason to keep that human around anymore," Pyronica says, "All it'll do is pacify the other demons and get in your way."
"We still need that equation," Bill points out, "The time will come when Dove will be bird meat, Pyro, but as long as Sixer respects them, we have the advantage."
"Is it so?" Pyronica asks, "Or are you just looking for an excuse to keep a worthless pet around?" Bill glares at the fire demon.
"Well, the bats should be feeding by now," Pyronica turns towards her nearest corridor, "So your little date must be arriving at any second. Ta-ta!" With that, Pyronica leaves. I look at Bill in horror. Maybe Pyronica was right...humanity did leave Bill after he became a demon again and will soon turn on me one his 'play thing' no longer brings entertainment. I swallow back my emotions, thinking through my situation carefully.
