Shadow Riders Omniversal Journey

Chapter 38

"Esil, what are you, wait no, now did you get here, I got sent here by Kang, Abel and Abaddon got here with monarch powers I guess, and I'm thinking Death just sent Seth here to stop me and Abel from killing each other," said Cain.

"Well, I am a demon, and a soldier in the army of Abaddon, so obviously he summoned us to fight these mortals, but," Esil said as she bowed to Cain.

"You have done more for the Radiru family as did Lord Zarathos before you, then Abaddon ever did, always forcing us to fight, we swear our swords, and shields to you Cain Jonathan Blaze, heir to Zarathos, demon king of vengeance, shadow monarch, king of the dead," said Esil.

"Rise Esil," said Cain as he helped the demon girl stand.

"I accept you at my side," Cain said and shadow energy traveled from Cains arm up Esils armor turning it black and purple not unlike his shadows.

"Well this has never happened before," said Cain.

"It's what happens when others swear themselves to you without becoming a shadow, believe it or not I didn't only have shadows I recruited from all over, many were humans who grew to worship me, some were from the armies of my fellow monarchs, and the rulers," said Zarathos.

"How does it effect Esil or others who get it?" asked Cain.

"They'll have the slightest increase in their strength, the shadow armor you've put on her will spread to other demons who join her, and the shadow armor increases stats when exposed to our monarchs domain ability," said Zarathos.

"So they're basically pseudo shadow soldiers, but still retain their regular form and follow because they want to not because they feel the over powering feeling of love, respect, and everything else the Shadows feel," said Cain.

"That is correct," said Zarathos.

There was a roar of a motorcycle engine and Seth rode in and grabbed a shot gun from his side and aimed at Esil.

"Hold it Seth, she's a friend," said Cain.

"Since when are you friends with demons, especially a really good looking one," said Seth.

"I met her a few years back, she helped me escape Abaddon," said Cain.

"Yes and Lord Blaze helped my family with a few things," said Esil.

"Ok, honestly Cain, that's kind of weird," said Seth.

"I have to agree," said Abel.

"How so?" asked Cain.

"Well bro, you aren't exactly one of the calmest individuals when it comes to demons, your usually, let's kill demons," said Seth.

"I will admit, you are right, but I needed help escaping Hell since it was Abaddon keeping me in Hell for those weeks, so I made an alliance with the Radiru family, they get me out of Hell, if I can make some of their enemies disappear," said Cain.

"Disappear how?" asked Sheeva.

Cain took his hand and slid his thumb across his throat, "I am a trained assassin believe it or not," said Cain.

"I was raised by the Black Widow, trained by SHIELD, and I worked directly under Nick Fury, though he at least didn't turn me into a weapon the way Hill wanted to do to me," said Cain.

"So used my gifts, took out some other demon nobles and helped Esils father move up the ladder of demon politics, and they managed to get me a way out of Hell," said Cain.

"Well, guess that's enough, by the way Abel, I'm going to fucking kill you," said Seth as he walked up to Abel and Abel backed away from the red rider.

"Is it because?" Abel was asking only for Seth to punch him in the gut and sending him falling to his knees coughing.

"I tried to kill you? Would you be ok with a I'm sorry?" asked Abel groaning out.

"Yes, and no it won't, I was about to win that fight, a total clutch W, and then you just go and summon a horde demons force me to fight my way through them, and then you stab me in the fucking back," growled Seth.

"To be fair, I wasn't aiming for heart, I think someone else killed you," said Abel.

"Besides the point, I would have won that fight, I deserve better than I'm sorry," roared Seth.

"Boys your fighting for second place here," said Cain.

"Oh bull shit if you didn't have that army of yours," said Abel.

"Which I didn't use a single one in our fight Abel, either of them, and I had you down, the only reason you got your hands on my throat is I wasn't going all out," said Cain smirking the clones were about to say something when they actually did start to think.

The clones just groaned and dropped mumbling about something or other.

"Did Cain just hit them with a get good in his own way?" asked Kaine.

"No I believe he said they were fighting over the silver medal," said Ben.

"So what do you want?" asked Abel.

"Rematch, you and me, no interference from demon lords or cosmic beings, just a good old fashioned ass kicking," said Seth.

"Are they always like this?" asked Sheeva.

"I think this is what having brothers is like, honestly both my birth brothers have tried to murder me, as have these two, I only really have Peter and Petra to go off of what siblings act like," said Cain.

"I have three brothers back home, they act like this all the time," said Esil.

"I didn't know you had siblings, I only met you and your father," said Cain.

"My brothers were off fighting for our "lord" Esil said sarcastically.

"Alright Esil, I want you to go find the demons who agreed to follow you to me, and get them to help the people, as well as the special forces," Cain said.

"Yes Lord Blaze," said Esil as she got on her horse and rode off.

"Cain, where are you," Wanda called over the psychic link he shared with her, Sonya, Ororo, and Illyana.

"Wanda? What's wrong?" asked Cain concerned.

"Cain, don't come here, she, ahhh," Cai heard Sonya psychically scream.

"Sonya, Sonya," Cain yelled over the link.

Cain summoned a motorcycle and hopped on it and revved the engine.

"Cain don't go in half caught," said Abel.

"My wife, and two other lovers are in danger, I will protect them," growled Cain.

"I won't fail ever again," growled Cain as he rode off.
