The Skull Crusaders

Asmodeus

Two days passed since the incident with Kaito, Eddy and his friends healed up the best they could and as soon as they were allowed to leave the hospital they did. Thanks to the Unlawful Cops they knew exactly where to find Guen and even had a helicopter take them to their destination. They were determined to get her back no matter what.

"how much longer before it's extracted?" asked Scarlet looking down at the other members huddled up around Guen, chanting some weird ancient words. 

"I'm not sure" responded Asmodeus leaning on the wooden railing "the process can vary from a few hours to up to a week, it really all depends on the girl" 

Scarlet sighed looking at Guens torn up body, she was being hanged by her arms, dangling off the floor and slowly being drained of blood. "your methods are always painful to watch" she said looking away.

"don't tell me you of all people feels bad. The Tyrants were ruthless demons that slaughtered anything that got in their way"

Scarlet glared at Asmodeus as he began to walk downstairs "that's what everyone always thinks" she said sighing "the Tyrants were more than vicious killers, we were revolutionaries"

"and exactly who was it that told us about this girl?" asked Asmodeus turning back "wasn't it a member of the Tyrants who told us about her? it certainly wasn't someone in the military"

Scarlet clenched her fist "your stepping over the line Asmodeus"

"what are you going to do? fight me? then who will protect you from them when they come looking for you?" he walked up to Scarlet and leaned in pushing her against the railing. "put a smile on your face, your in the house of God, the last thing you want to do is invoke his wrath"

Scarlet pushed Asmodeus back looking into his deep dark demonic eyes "exactly what god are you worshiping?" she asked again "torture and violence are not the qualities of any god I've heard of"

Asmodeus smiled turning around "our god is what fuels our power, without him we would be nothing"

"your a maniac" she said turning to face the stairs but stopped when he caught her hand, pulled her back and slapped her hard, knocking her down.

"know your place" he said looking down at her "don't make me take your power too"

Scarlet held her cheek recollecting what had just happened. She looked up at him with hate in her eyes and would have done something but her body couldn't move. Asmodeus power was a stolen power. An old dark sage was caught off guard and drained of his dark magic, it's all thanks to him that Asmodeus even has any power at all. She gasped as her body was lifted up and Asmodeus came closer to her.

"your power to channel air currents isn't a rare one, but it is a strong one, maybe I should take it and challenge those brother you fear so much" he smiled slowly choking the life out of her "but I like you" he said letting her go "so i won't take your power just yet" he walked away hearing her cough from behind "you should be grateful that were in the house of god, take this time to repent for what you have done, and devote yourself to the god like I have, oh" he stopped walking and turned to face her "the answer to your question, I worship the god of destruction, Daglathor"

Scarlet gasped at the sound of its name, Daglathor was something she wished to never hear about again. She closed her eyes gritting her teeth as she remember a dreadful scene of pain and suffering. "Asmodeus" she said standing back up "I don't care what Sora does to me, I will not allow the worship of that Devil to exist" 

Asmodeus grinned placing his arms in front of him "so I guess were having two extractions after all" He crossed his arms to block her whips as they tore through the wood railing and stairs. He moved his arms down grinning at how little damage they did. His hands began to glow black as he swung them creating pitch black spheres while Scarlet dodged them.

Scarlet leaped over one and charged at Asmodeus, twisting herself to dodge another she swung her foot as he blocked it with his arm but she wasn't holding back this time, her whip lashed out at him cutting through his sleeve and tearing away at his skin. 

Asmodeus moved back smiling "so this is the power of a Tyrant" he said not hearing the chanting from before, he turned to see his teammates staring at him "I didn't say stop!" he shouted as they shrieked and continued to chant.

Scarlet took advantage of the situation to nail him with more whips but something was wrong, his body seemed to have absorbed the attacks and for some strange reason her body was the one bleeding. 

"black magic is so much fun don't you agree" he said pulling his arm down as one of the black spheres from earlier imploded and then exploded around Scarlet. "poor old man didn't know what he had" he laughed making another sphere implode and explode around her again making her scream in agony "one spell enhances your pain sensors, while the other burns your entire body, all it takes are two spells and even the mighty Queen of Thorns is rendered useless" 

She wheezed as her entire body felt like it was being shredded. She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth to calm herself, she focused her attention away from her pain and at her hatred towards Daglathor. "In the name of the Tyrants, I will not fall!" she roared standing up through the pain and curling herself up into a ball of thorns. "ONE THOUSAND THORN SPEAR!!" 

Asmodeus gasped as her sphere of thorns expanded and grew, launching in every direction and destroying everything. He used his black magic to switch places with one of his members just in time to avoid getting hit and then he disappeared from the church entirely. He laughed watching at the church get demolished from atop a nearby roof. "only a true Tyrant could do something like this"

Scarlet coughed up blood as she pulled herself towards Guens fallen body "wake up" she said in between coughs "you have to get out of here, you have to" she paused as Guen opened her deep black eyes. "you have to" she passed out from the pain just as Guen stood up and flew out of the wreckage.

"Asmodeus! what is the meaning of this!?!" shouted Casaday landing next to him "what the hell just happened!?!" she turned as Satana, Ahrima and Ahura landed next to them. "what did you do!?!"

"Silence!" shouted Asmodeus unable to take his eyes off Guen as she floated up out of the church, thanks to his dark magic powers he was able to see the aura resonating from her. "Get ready, looks like this one had a demon sleeping inside her"
