Demons: Rise of the Guardians fanfiction

Chapter 4

Ariadne was the first person to break the seemingly awkward silence held within the air.

"....Um....who the hell are you?"

"I'm Cupid stu-pendously beautiful lady how may I be of service?"

Cupid walks over and takes Ariadne's hand giving it a gentle kiss as Jack glares at Cupid for what he's doing.

Ariadne cringes a little and removes her hand from Cupid

"Well A fellow guardian and our friend, Claire, has been kidnapped by the twins working for Pitch, do you happen to know where their hideout might be or where they might take her?"

"My dearest star has been taken? Well now I know the reasoning for my summoning!"

"....Anyway, are you able to help us or not?"

"Of course I shall lend my assistance, speaking of I have been working some new weapons. Jack I have the sword you requested.. Though I really wish you would let me balance it properly"

Cupid reaches into a small pouch and pulls out a full sized blue sword with a moon chain hanging off the hilt, it seems slightly too big for Jack but he seems excited by it. Jack happily grabs the sword and admires it. Ariadne was impressed with the craftsmanship of the sword.

"You made this?"

"I make many things, do you have a request?"

"Thanks for the offer, but I'm quite alright with what I have."

She indicates the twin black swords on her back and the single purple on her left hip.

"I do things other than swords... But back to the task at hand I believe I know where they will take her?"

"Really? Where?"

"There's a certain cave here in the north, I've yet to find its exact location but its rumored to be used for dark rituals of some sort"

Jack places the sword away and narrows his eyes in jealousy at the amount of attention Cupid is receiving from Ariadne

"Oh dont get your nickers in a twist I'm not her destined" Cupid whispers to Jack before returning his attention to her.

"That should be easy enough to find, well probably for me anyways."

"Oh? Is dark magic your main power?"

"...Something like that... A-Anyway, we should get going, the sooner we rescue Claire the better."

"I shall follow you into battle M'Lady" Cupid says as he bows.

"...The bowing's not necessary, but let's go then."

"Tis entirely necessary when in the presence of such beauty!"

Ariadne, Jack and Tooth follow after Cupid as the others were busy with their other duties

"Is Cupid usually this flirtatious?

"Yup."

"oh boy..."

Cupid winks when he turned to her. "Where to beautiful?"

"We're heading north from here to find the cave you spoke of."

"Should we take the sleigh?"

"I have a better way." Ariadne's eyes quickly flashes into red and black as purple flames surrounded them, and teleporting them in front of a cave. Her eyes return to their normal silver colour.

Cupid shudders slightly

"Weiiird, so that's what it feels like to get teleported, no wonder no one likes it" he chuckled

Ariadne looks at the cave infront of them, sensing dark magic from it.

"This looks like the place..."

Cupid suddenly grows serious as he walked towards the mouth of the cave.

"Let's do this then, I suggest we enter quietly maybe get the drop on them."

Ariadne looked at Cupid in surprise at his sudden change of mood, but quickly shook it off.

"Sounds like a plan."

Audri and Jack walks into the cave after Cupid, weapons out and ready. Cupid draws out a dim heart shaped light to lead the way, once he reaches the entrance to the main chamber he quickly puts the light out and leans in slightly. They could hear the voices of Phobos as they drew closer.

"....I think we did something wrong.."

They hear the other mans voice for the first time and it sends an odd chill down Ariadne's spine, though not because it sounds creepy in fact its almost entrancing to hear

"Perhaps we should wait until Pitch arrives?"

Ariadne senses the presence of three people behind the entrance. Seeing that they'll be outnumbered if Pitch arrives, she summons two demon foxes to aid them. Jack watches her, in awe at her ability as she summons them. Phobos sensed a small surge of magic in the air and stood in alert.

"What was that?"

Ariadne draws out her twin black swords from her back.

"We better get in now before Pitch comes with his nightmares."

A hand reaches around the corner and grabs Cupid.

"Uh-oh"

Cupid is pulled into the main room and pushed him towards Phobos. Deimos turns back to the entrance where the other two hid in suspicion.

"Seems like we have guests"

Phobos doesn't seem surprised by the fact as he pulls out a few kunai from somewhere in his clothing.

Ariadne was able to get a good look at Deimos and sees that he shares the same face and eyes as Phobos only differences being his hair is a dark grey and black and his eyes seem more..something he wears the same ninja like uniform as his brother.

She noticed Phobos, Deimos, and Claire at the moment, Claire is at the far end tied to a chair her head lolling slightly as her eyes flutter, her skin has taken on a gray hue similar to Pitches and less so the twins, she doesn't seem asleep but nor does she seem fully aware of her surroundings. Ariadne quietly send one of her demon foxes to free Claire before teleporting behind Phobos.

"Miss me, handsome?"

She kicks him hard to the wall before charging at Deimos with great speed. Deimos being much faster than he brother he has already thrown a couple kunai towards her direction and started to charge towards her. Cupid used this commotion to quickly gets up and goes over to help Claire.

Ariadne deflects the kunai with her sword as she makes her way to Deimos, aiming her swords at his throat, he leans back then goes under her sword then drives his kunai straight up at her head. Ariadne blocks his kunai with her left sword and slashes his chest with her right sword, Deimos steps back holding a kunai in each hand and watched her with a calculated look, his shirt falls open to reveal a thin cut, his blood is a strange almost white color with a rainbow-esq hue. Phobos tried to help his brother, but he has been fighting off Jack who continues to get in his way.

Cupid slings the placid faced Claire over his shoulder and looks around, he begins to teleport away with her but a black tendril suddenly grabs him and stops him.

The room grows much darker despite the opening in the ceiling and an all too familiar man steps out of the shadows

"Leaving so soon?"
