RAVIA

Entry 26: Coup De'Tat

Sergei stood in the shadows of the alley as he waited for the mindless goons to disappear. After the attack on the mansion, he and Lucifer along with the others had came up with a plan of attack. They were going to give the rogue demons a taste of their own medicine. Sergei pulled his coat tighter around him. He then checked to see if all his Kunai knives, shuriken and nunchuckas were in place. Yup, they were in their right places. He looked up and saw that the rogue demons were no longer lurking about. Sergei then glanced behind him at Sebastien who had accompanied him in order to take part in the coup.

"It's time,"he said so low it could barely be considered as a whisper.

Sebastien gave a sinister smile. "It's time for the opera to begin. Here's the first aria."

He raised his hands to the sky and lightning danced across the clouds and then began to hum the beginning of the phantom of the opera. Sebastien looked at Sergei with green eyes now turned read and horns sprouted from his head. He had a maniacal  smile on his face as it was scrounged up in a snarl.
"Why don't we show these sorry bastards why they shouldn't mess with the devil and his family?"

Sergei gave him a smile in similar fashion.

Together, they slowly walked to the entrance of the building and snuck up on two rogues that were guarding the door and knocked them out before they could register what was happening. Sebastien started to reach for the keys that hung from the rogue demon's belt and Sergei stopped have him.

"What?"

"We won't be needing those keys."

"Why not?"

"Look."

Sebastien followed Sergei's pointing fingers and saw that the entrance door stood slightly ajar. He looked at Sergei who boasted a smirk on his face.

"I guess we won't be needing those keys then."

They slowly push the door open wider to allow their large frames to enter the room. They entered the room with predatorial stealth that their footsteps could not be heard. The place was so dark that if they weren't demons they wouldn't be able to move about freely without knocking into furniture and not creating a ruckus. Their eyes glowed an eery red that allowed them to see their surrounding in black white. They heard a scuffle and looked into the direction from which the noise came. Someone was in the room with them. They quickly cloaked themselves in the shadows.

The lights came on and five elementals had entered the room in a drunken stupor mumbling illegible words that could barely be understood. Annoyed, Sergei teleported behind them with his sword out. It was an ancient sword that was forged in the fires of hell and with one stroke of it's deadly sharp blade it could kill any demon.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

The elementals erupted in to ashes, without being able to let out warning shouts. Sergei sheathed his sword and Sebastien emerged from the shadows and clapped.

"That was a quick show."

Sergei just stared at him blankly.

"Not much for words are you?", asked Sebastien.

Sergei sighed. They had barely begun any real fighting and was getting annoyed at the lack action. If only he was with Ravia, there would've been much to do.

"Let's split up and quickly raise the place of the ground. Kill everyone," said Sergei.

Sebastien smiled and his irises changed to an icy blue color.

"Okay. I smell a lot of souls to be devoured...."

Without warning, Sebastien then transformed into the deadly image of a skeletal figure covered in a tattered black cloak, gleaming scythe in hand. He then let out blood wrenching laugh. Sometimes Sergei forget that despite  his chill demeanor, Sebastien was Death. Heavy footsteps were heard across the floor and in the rooms above them. Before you knew it, the entire building was covered with rogue demons. Demons of every species and race could be seen. Sebastien turned to Sergei.

"Just go to the next building, I can handle them."

Sergei nodded and teleported from the room.

Sebastien then turned to look at the snarling demons and laugh. His eyes still glowing icy blue. Lightning flashed across the sky and the thunder followed. Frost escaped from his mouth with each slow breath and covered the room in a deathly grey fog. The demons began to advance towards him.

"First Aria," whispered Sebastien. "The Phantom."

He raised his right arm which held the scythe and began slashing at the demons that launched at him. And with each cut from the Scythe's deadly blade, the demons released blood curdling screams and withered into dust. Sebastien's blood danced along his veins in rapid excitement at the show before him. Before you knew it the entire lower floors was cleared.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

"That was quite a show, "said Sergei from behind him.

Sebastien turned and smile at him. "I see you've already finish your fight. Not one bruise. Bravo!"

Sergei gave a small smile.

"Good," continued Sebastien. "You're just in time for the second aria. Let's head upstairs."

In less than three seconds the same teleported to upper room where another army of rogue demons were waiting on them. Sergei took seat on a nearby table and leaned back on the wall. He then folded his arms and stared pointedly at Sebastien.

"You can begin."

Sebastien morphed into a different transformation. Instead of his skeletal appearance, he was now covered in pale trey skin with visible blue veins running along his body. The tattered coat was still wrapped around him but his scythe had changed into a long flute with intricate designs coveting if.

"Second Aria: Death."

Sebastien raised the flute to his mouth and began to play an haunting melody. This song was no ordinary song. With each haunting note that he played, the demons were doubled over in so much pain that all that could be heard were screams. Screams so loud that it excited Sebastien's blood. He started to play another note the demons' souls began to leave their bodies in the form of red and blue orbs. When all the orbs were collected and amassed, Sebastien played a final tune that sent the demons into a mad frenzy to kill themselves. Sebastien was awed by his masterpiece. With a wave he drew the orbs towards him and drew them into his body with a slow breath until they were all consumed. Sebastien's body then returned to it's original form and he was back to normal.

Sergei got off the table and headed towards him.

"That was a nice show," said Sergei. "I enjoyed it immensely."

Sebastien smiled.

"Thank you," he replied. "I aim to please."

Sergei gave one of his rare laughs.

"Let's head home."
