Bloody Dawn - MCD AU [REWRITE PENDING]

Twenty-Seven - Straight into Enemy Territory

"I'm not saying nothing. Kill me if you want to. Oh, wait, you CAN'T! If you kill me, you'll never know! HA! Hahahahahaha!"

Kawaii-Chan, Michi and Katelyn growled at Malachi, anime fire in their eyes. This interrogation was getting them nowhere.

"Let me at him! Grrrrrr!" Michi yowled as Vylad grabbed her and Kawaii-Chan, holding them back (FANART WILL GET YOUS YUMMY RUBY).

"Calm down. Give me five minutes with him. That should be enough."

Wordless, Katelyn nodded. She got out of Vylad's way.

Five minutes later, Vylad walked away from Malachi. "He said Garroth uses some kind of magic to control the KnightWings, and by now, every angel in the Aether. Apparently, Ivy acted of her own accord, and the magic was produced by this demoness in the Nether. Something about a witch or whatever."

Katelyn stared at Vylad wide-eyed. "Just... how?"

Vylad smiled. "I have my ways."

"Wait. Are you saying what I think you're saying? Because if you are, then... um... eh." Michi said, struggling to think of something.

"What I'm saying is, if we want to take Garroth down without killing any angels, we'll have to go into the Nether to find this witch and get the remedies for the magicks Garroth used." Vylad explained, just as Aaron and Aphmau entered the clearing. Aphmau was dragging Zane in by his wing.

"I'm game." Aphmau said.

"I'll go, too." Aaron agreed.

"I don't mind going." Zane added.

"Then... I guess... I'll go... too... ACK! Why why why why why..." Michi managed to groan.

"If Aphmau's going, then I am, too." Katelyn said with Nicole.

"Actually, I was thinking..." Vylad speculated as he began to draw his plot in the dirt with a stick (FANART). "I figured that Nicole could stay here with Jeffory to warden Malachi, and then Aphmau and Aaron could also stay behind to help Kawaii-Chan with her shop. Then, Emmalyn, Katelyn, Zane, Michi and I would go get this witch and bring her back."

"Not happening. I'm coming." Aphmau said.

"Okay, you can come." Vylad said with an exasperated sigh. "But Aaron will stay behind to help Kawaii-Chan. Are we all agreed? Yes? Okay, then let's go!"

Michi got out some of the extra obsidian she still had and built a Nether Portal. After quickly lighting it, she hopped through, followed by the others.

Boop!

The portal disappeared (I realize that's not how Minecraft portals really work. In this story, the realm barrier is very strong, so portals disappear shortly after they're made.).

Aaron sighed. He turned, and wordlessly headed into the village to help Kawaii-Chan.

Thunk!

Everyone fell from the portal, then quickly untangled themselves.

"Whoa."

Aphmau stared, wide-eyed, at the scene around her.

"Well, isn't this place cheery?" Katelyn said as she brushed bits of netherrack off her sleeve.

"Give me a minute and I'll set up an illusion." Michi said.

Zane put his hand on Michi's shoulder. "Too risky. If another demon with A-Rank Illusion Magicks or higher sees us, the illusion won't due all that good."

"So what do you propose?" Emmalyn asked, just as Zane through down a splash potion bottle, filled with demonflame.

"Ack! What was... that... uhh... why do I have a tail? Again?" Aphmau said, twirling around.

"Zane! What did you do?!"

"Now you look, sound, and smell like demons. Well, mostly." Zane said, staring at Aphmau, who had become a really pretty white Demon Royale, and Katelyn, who was now a silver standard, and Emmalyn, who was a blue succubus (I shouldn't even have to say the word. Also, dramatic music, and cheers from the audience).

"Relax, it's only temporary. It should only last a few days." Zane said calmly, as if nothing was wrong.

"So we should probably start moving." Vylad pointed out. "Because once you're back to normal, everydemon will be looking for you."

"Then let's go!" Aphmau joyously squealed, jumping into the air.

"You're late."

Two figures, both demons, sat in the throne room of the fortress, concealed in shadows.

"Of course I am. I do what I want, remember? I'm not your toy."

The demon on the throne shifted position. Even though his face was hidden in the shadows, anyone could see his red armour.

"Hmm. Well, I guess I'll have to excuse it, then. Besides, I have a task for you."

The demoness talking to the hellhound flitted her stubby wings and posed dramatically. "Oh, really? Do you now? And what, might I ask, is the task you have in mind?"

The hellhound shook his head. "Oh, Sasha, Sasha. You really are a demon to be treasured. No remorse, no regret, capable, beautiful, smart... But we should probably get down to business. Do you know who this is?"

Whipping out a magic orb, the hellhound used it to display a beautiful woman. No, an angel. "This is supposed to be Garroth's target. I'd like it if you could bring her to me should that blonde idiot fail."

Sasha nodded. "Of course, of course."

Suddenly, the doors to the throne room opened, and in came a small, dark gray imp.

"My Lord!" It said, bowing slightly. "Prince Zane and Vylad Ro'Meave have been spotted in the Nether, accompanied by three angels!"
