Drake woke up yawning, he wasn't sure how long he had slept, he couldn't honestly remember the last time he had slept. It felt like he had just woken up from a coma though, hibernation. He felt completely recharged. Drake sat up looking around letting his brain register where he was for the time being, he remembered that he was on a boat. With ghost, and a guy possessed by an angel. Looking to his side he saw Maria there, she seemed like she was out of it. He decided to let her sleep and got out of the bed, he walked out the little guest room. Sareena: Awake finally? Drake looked over Sareena was sitting on the couch, she had taken her sling off "How's your arm?" he asked her, she moved it a few times. Sareena: Healed but still sore...won't be doing anything to crazy with it... "Well at least you're feeling better..." he said nodding to her, Drake walked out on the deck and looked around. The ocean looked nice, though the sea air was getting to him a bit. He looked over seeing land not too far from there. Drake wondered how long they had been sailing, he wasn't even sure if Rhode was the one sailing the ship or if his ghost friends were. He never bothered to ask. Voice: Knew you'd be here soon enough Drake turned around someone landed on the ship. It was Alastor he cracked his neck walking over to Drake "You knew I would come back" Drake said to him "I told you I would when I finished up with Mephisto" He added. Alastor smirked at him. Alastor: Yeah I know...glad you did though, just had to put out a fire involving one of the Samael's generals. If we're going to attack Baal, now would be the time "Fine, seems like you have a plan. Lets here it" Drake said to him. |

Even before John could pick up Maria, the woman woke up an tried to get up weakly. She passed out though, worrying about Drake. She and him must have had some good history together... Wait... she didn't pass out. Adrian was standing there with a syringe. That, of course, started all sorts of shit between Sareena and Adrian. His eyes widened under his t-visor. Still, he shook his head slightly. As much as it annoyed him, and made him think everything was wrong, he couldn't do anything about it right now. Be that as it may, there's nothing I can do about it. Lets get her inside to rest. Adrian... No more drugs... He looked at the man as he said so, then picked up Maria carefully. He went through the nearest door, and found a bedroom. It didn't look like anyone has claimed it yet, so he set her on top of the bed. He touched a few buttons on his arm hard light screen, and ran his hand above her body, getting a readout of her. The biggest thing was, he didn't know her healing abilities, if she had any. She wouldn't die, especially with the biofoam helping heal her, but probably wont be feeling good for a while. He grabbed more biofoam and injected it into some of her deeper wounds, but it looked like Sareena did a good job with the foam. When he was done, he put it back where he got it from and stood back. She will live, fortunately. She should be wiped down of the blood and stuff. I can tend to her wounds more later if she needs it. |

Maria's eyes opened slightly she tried to get up Sareena pushed her back down though "Sareena, let me up, I have to get to Drake. I'm the only one that can calm him, the Old Man told me to watch out for him..." her words faded as she passed back out. Sareena looked up seeing Adrian there with a syringe. Sareena: What the hell did you do? Adrian: She's hurt, she can't go out there. If Drake loses it and tries to kill us we can't very well have him kill her first. That would be something that would push him over the edge... Sareena: I know but still Adrian: Trust Anthony and the others Sareena turned to John when he said Drake was loosing it. Sareena: Its not for no reason. He's...Drake's the son of diablo, the devil... Sareena was worried about Drake but followed John into the house with Maria. She hoped everything would work out. If not Maria would be needed to help out there. Sareena: I can get her cleaned up, she should start healing soon enough ___ Drake growled as he tried to pull himself back up but was forced down. He looked at Uriel "You think this can hold me! You are weak, I know you just exerted most of your energy with this barrier. This will hold me 10 minutes tops! And when I'm free I'm gonna kill every single one of you" he looked at Anthony "Starting with him. And I will make you watch me torture him Uriel!" he laughed evilly. Uriel turned to Rin when she spoke to him. Uriel: That's not Drake, not anymore "She's right...I am the Prime I am Diablo!" he yelled, Anthony walked over to him and looked at him. "You're not" Anthony said to him "You're pathetic Drake Hellion...no Nathanial Coleman. Look at you letting your power control you. Just like when you almost killed me" Anthony bent down to him. "Just like when you killed the old man" Suddenly Drake's hand broke free and he grabbed Anthony by the throat, he broke free of the restraints putting his other hand around Anthony's throat and slamming him into a wall choking him. "I'll kill you first!" Drake growled. Uriel moved to attack Drake then she noticed Anthony waving her off. "So, Drake...no Diablo. What are you gonna do kill me? Kill them? Kill Sareena? Kill Maria?" He asked him Drake growled slamming Anthony against the wall again cracking it. "Shut up!" He yelled Anthony looked at him "You hear me Drake!?! Are you listening to me in there!?! Are you gonna let this...son of a bitch do that?" Anthony yelled through his choking. "He has no choice! I'll burn this world! And when I'm finished here I'll burn the Golden City to the ground!" He yelled "No..." Drake said his voice normal "Get out of me...let me go" Drake said throwing Anthony to the ground, Anthony slid over to Uriel and Rin on his back. "I said get out of my head" Drake growled holding his face. He turned and looked at Rhode "Whats this? You wish to challenge me?" Drake growled shaking his head again. Someone walked up behind Ziken and pulled the sword out of his hand. Alastor: I'll be taking this... Alastor had the dagger in his hand as well. He looked at Drake and ran over to him appearing in front of him. Drake looked at Alastor "Alastor..." Alastor: You're weak...such a tragedy...you are not ready Alastor ran the dagger into Drake's chest and the sword into his gut. Drake coughed up blood as Alastor pulled both weapons out of him and Drake fell to his face in a pool of blood. Anthony looked on "Drake...you bastard!" Anthony yelled swinging his sword at Alastor but Uriel appeared in front of Anthony stopping the sword. Uriel: Stop it...Alastor may have just saved him... Alastor looked at the sword he could hear a voice telling him to kill everyone there and take Baal's kingdom as his own. He shook his head and tossed the sword to Ziken. Alastor: Take that somewhere far away from this place. Part of our Father's soul is in that thing. It reacts to us using it...I'm strong enough to fight it off but obviously Drake isn't...stabbing him with it was the only way to put the power back into the sword. Anthony went over to Drake "Drake...just hold on okay" He said to him Drake's healing factor was starting to work but not as fast as it should have been. "Alastor can you help him" He asked Alastor looked at Anthony. Alastor: Get him inside, I got some potions that can help... Anthony did that. Alastor looked around at his house. Alastor: I was only gone for an hour... |

Ziken handed Alastor the blade sensing him approach, and easily caught the blade when it was thrown back to him. He nodded to Alastor, seeing that Ba'als general had entrusted the blade to him, and his master's dagger had come in handy for stopping Drake he figured it was a fair trade off. Ziken: It will be done, and should he grow stronger also obtainable. You've my word Alastor. Everything had happened quickly, Rin had been about to engage Drake to help Anthony but he held a hand to hold her back, and she trusted him. She held out a hand to Tren who looked ready to jump into the fray at a moments notice. "Let them work it out, trust them," she said not entirely sounding convinced herself. Why did she believe it would work? She had too, other wise she was a lost cause as well. Within moments the scene was done. Tren breathed a sigh of relief and headed back to check on the others again. "Alright I'll make sure they got Maria in doors as well. Her and Drake will need to rest up before we go attacking any Ba'al's forces," said Tren waving as he set off. Rin walked up to Anthony and followed him in doors. "That was brave of you," she said simply, knowing there was probably a lot on Anthony's mind. ______________________________________________________ Tren arrived to see Adrian was already carrying Maria towards the entrance. Late again, but he opened the door so Adrian could clear it just fine. They hadn't fought too heavy of Ba'als forces but it was clear even the peons were more battle hardened than most of the Prime's other warriors. "Drake's not looking to good either Sareena, sorry about early. I think I figured out why you were so offended by that comment finally, only took me fighting demons to come to that conclusion," said Tren other than that he really didn't know how to apologize. He hadn't meant that question to come out as he did, though the question did beg to be answered in the back of his head. They set Drake, and Maria up on two cots that Yang had found in the back rooms. Apparently this guy kept everything on hand that would be needed to fight a war, or live in luxury. He walked up to Alastor with a pressing question. "Yeah sorry about the damages here to your crib however, do you think Ba'al noticed this or are we save here for the time being. Drake could be up in a few hours but Maria.... well I'm afraid she doesn't heal quiet as well as Drake and I can't do anything for her. Starting to feel like my healing abilities and training from the guild are going to waste." said Tren looking back at the others. Edited by Rin Kurai, Aug 26 2015, 06:53 PM.

Thank you. I'll be back later to check up on everything. He nodded to Sareena then made left the room, and most everyone else came into the house now. The weird kid who liked to stare at him had some cots out, and Drake was laid down on one. The other one must have been intended for Maria. Too bad Maria was already somewhere else, that would be better than laying on a cot. She's in the room over there with Sareena. He was fine with Drake on the cot, and didn't recommend moving him to a bedroom. Demons of any kind, and Drake was pretty freaking demonic, he just didn't care for, and if he was around them, he was usually putting them in the ground... figuratively speaking. |

Rhode left the action. Stuff was happening, people had been stabbed. Barriers had been put up to protect them. Drakes bro had stabbed Drake but apparently that was a good thing. All the demonic stuff happening was a little to much for Rhode to follow. Half demon, half humans and heirs to demonic thrones. Rhode was almost ready to say life with just Azethlor was simpler… almost. Once things settled down and someone started planning Rhode would rejoin the group to help. He did a quick survey of damage to the mansion. It was a shame such a beautiful house had been damaged at all, let alone to the extent that it was. Rhode went out to his car to do a quick inventory of weapons. He also snagged 3 of those AK47’s from the basement armory like he had thought about earlier and dumped them in the trunk. They were reliable and fired a pretty tough round which he figured might come in handy one day. He pulled his car around and parked it in one of the many garages. While parking he discovered that there was a lot more to the property than just the main house. There was the huge mansion, which was big enough, for sure, but there was also the servants quarters, a small house all by itself off to one corner of the estate, a guest house with it’s own small pool and a boat house with a 50 foot ocean yacht, stored on stilts within. He climbed on board and raided the boats stores of maps, lines, tackle and damage control supplies and dumped them all in the back seat of his car. He took a second to look over the charts on the hood of the Malibu. Judging from the few maps he already had aboard the Huron II, he had figured they had come south and made landfall somewhere near Panama, but according to these new maps he’d found, they had actually made land fall near a city in Columbia named Cartagena. He noted the info and put the maps in the car. Further exploration of the mansion and it’s grounds revealed a small airfield in the back, along with a hangar. Rhode couldn’t help himself but peek inside. He found an intact Canadair CL-215. It was in some rough shape since it hadn’t been maintained in years, but it was still all in one piece. “Be still my beating heart.” You must be joking. Thats a piece of junk. “I betcha it’s got it where it counts though.” He pointed to the plane. “Scooby, go sniff it out.” The hellhound bounded towards the plane and inspected it. He clicked once he did a full circuit to let Rhode know he didn’t smell any demonic influences whatsoever. It looks like a flying Winnebago. “Hell yeah it does. Clean it up, put some paint on it, it’ll look awesome.” Rhode said, pushing his hand against the side of the plane. You don’t even know how to fly! Rhode shrugged. “No, but i bet i can learn. I bet you could teach me.” Just because when i had a physical form i had wings does not mean that I know how to fly a mortal aircraft. “Oh come on Az. You’re selling yourself short… for once. I bet the two of us could figure it out. I’m sure there’s an owners manual in the glovebox or something.” Rhode said. He found the door to the plan and pulled it open. It was rusted and groaned loudly upon being pulled open. You can’t be serious. Rhode glanced inside and saw that the main cabin was mostly empty, with two long, fabulously cushioned benches running up either side of the plane with some overhead compartments above them running all the way to the cockpit door. To the rear of the plane were a few metal cabinets and footlockers. “I’m going to call it the Fulcan.” Thats english your not even pronouncing right…. oh, I see. It’s from one of your silly films. “Scooby, you can be Chewbacca. Az, you get to be Ben Kenobi.” Rhode said. Scooby huffed and sat down, tilting his head to the side. I can teach you about the mysteries of the universe and how to use ancient and powerful magics to make yourself better than any mortal can imagine, and you’ve used my knowledge to make a car that never runs out of gas, a gun and now you want me to help you get this antiquated death trap to fly. “Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side kid.” Rhode smirked and chuckled, climbing into the plane and beginning to search through it’s contents. |

Alastor crossed his arms looking at his house, he knew he shouldn't have left these people here. He had just gotten the house just the way he likes it, now there was broken glass everywhere holes in walls it was beat to shit. He let out a long drawn out sigh as Uriel walked over to him. Uriel: You said he's not ready Alastor: He's not ready, but its okay I'll get him ready before we go out there...you just worry about your own agent Uriel: He'll be ready too Alastor: We'll see won't we ___ Anthony looked at Rin when she said that was brave of him "No, it was stupid...if Alastor hadn't shown up I'm not sure what we would have done" he said looking at Drake. Anthony turned to John when he mentioned that Maria was with Sareena "Good, I'm glad that she's okay..." he sat down putting his hand on his face. "Okay so where we stand is this, we're all beat up and tired, still haven't even figured out exactly where Baal's stronghold is. And I'm fairly sure every demon for miles probably sensed Drake's little show there"he sighed again. Anthony smelled the air "I smell steak" he said going over to the kitchen finding at least 10 ribeye steaks cooked "Oh thank you merciful God" Anthony said grabbing one and starting to eat it. It tasted like heaven. Drake sat up and looked around his wounds healed already. "Maria..." he said looking around at everyone in the room. He got off the cot he was on slowly his body still sore but he wasn't bleeding anymore his healing factor was like in over drive. Alastor: Good you're up, we have to talk "Not yet" Drake said going up stairs. ___ Sareena was starting to clean Maria's wounds when Tren walked in, she pulled a blanket over her. She looked over at him when he apologized. Sareena: This isn't really the time Tren, we'll talk about it later. Right now I have to take care of Maria. Her healing factor isn't as strong as Drake's but she'll be on her feet by tomorrow...I hope. She'll probably just be more mad about her rifle being destroyed. "Maria" Drake said walking in the room, he walked over to the bed and put his hand on Maria's. "I'm sorry" he whispered to her kissing her lips. He sighed and sat on the bed with her. Maria wrapped her fingers around Drake's hand."Sareena, you'll look after her?" He asked Sareena stood up. Sareena: Yeah, why where are you going? Drake looked down for a second "No where...its just too dangerous to stay in this barrier. I'm drawing too much attention" he said to her. |

"Sure thing," said Tren understanding now wasn't the time. Why did he keep walking in on the girls at times where they needed to be covered? It was like the universe wanted that to happen. He chuckled a bit about Sareena being pissed off about loosing her sniper rifle. "That sounds like her, tell you what while she recovered I'll see if the gun freak Rhode, or that future soldier has anything that might be able to repair the gun. If that fails what is a collumbian drug lord without a few sniper rifles so I could take a look around for another one though might not be the same as her old one. Might make her feel better when she wakes up." He had just finished that line when Drake walked in, worried look on his face. He'd read that look before in Drake. Actually it was becoming a reoccurring face. Staring at the scene he didn't know what to say? What the hell was there to say? 'Hey Drake don't worry about it, things will get better.' Or perhaps 'It's not your fault you can't control your powers.' 'You were born this way you can't help it.' Yeah all those sounded like lame excuses to cover up the blatant truth. He hurt someone he was close with and that was never easy to come to terms with. So he decided a different approach. "You do what you got to do Drake," said Tren reaffirming his confidence in Drake. "Your family trusts you." That seemed enough for the moment, he looked at Sareena giving her a look saying she should say something before he gave her a small wave signalling he was leaving the room. Tren came out of the room seeing a good number of people eating, but Tren wasn't in the mood for eating. He held a grim face as he approaching and then let it relax a bit. "Hey John, Future Soldier. Sareena thinks Maria might be frustrated when she wakes up to her broken Sniper Rifle. Anyone got any ideas on repair or replacing it?" asked Tren addressing his question to them. Rin was finished with her food very quickly. She looked over to Adrian licking her fingers after she had finished. "It was indeed good cooking. Thank you Adrian," said Rin clasping her hands together and bowing slightly. She than turned to Adrian waving a hand as if he was taking everything too seriously. "Anthony, that doesn't make it any less brave what you did. Take the compliment before Adrian rushes in to flirt with me again, I'm not sure I have any wards left to hold him off with." Rin glanced over to him for a moment hoping he hadn't over heard for a second before shrugging. "We'll find Ba'als hide out before long. Most of us need rest, and that includes you. Healing factor is nice and all but its no replacement for true rest or sleep." Ziken: The girl is right about that. Ziken moved into the main room looking at everyone gathered and scratched his beard as if trying to come to a decision. Ziken: I'm afraid my stay with you all has finally come to an end, and I know I shalln't be missed. Ziken locked eyes with Tren for a moment who tensed but shrugged as if he didn't care what the man did. Ziken: Alastor, call me if the Horsemen show up. Edited by Tren, Aug 26 2015, 10:42 PM.

Yea. He said that to Anthony, who sat down tired looking really tired. His next words only confirmed that. He had to admit that the man wasn't wrong. Rhode left to go do... something. Whatever it may be. Drake bolted up, looking no worse for wear. Seemed like he came to his senses now, and yelled out Maria's name. Alastor spoke to him, and then Drake left in search for Maria. He fallowed quietly, standing outside of the room. Tren was in there as well, talking to Sareena. Drake was, now that he was himself, worried about Maria. He also tried to put on some poor me, its all my fault act. If he wanted to leave, then good on him. He doubted that he would go too far with how concerned he was for Maria. John left now, heading back to the main room. He wanted to sit down somewhere and relax, but held off. There would be time to do that soon enough. He leaned against a wall, carefully so he didn't break through it, and crossed his arms.Most people were eating food now, and he wanted to join them, but held back. He would eat later. Tren joined them shortly, talking about Maria being pissed off that her sniper was damaged. He shook his head slowly. Sorry, I don't know how to fix weapons. Even these. She's probably going to just need to find a new one. He closed his eyes for a moment, sighing. Maybe they had a chance to relax now. He took off his helmet finally, and got a whiff of the food. Yea, he would need to soon find some. We went back to the room with Sareena, Drake, and Maria. Her wounds were clean, as well as most of the biofoam it looked like, but that was fine. It looked like she had an accelerated healing factor, so she would be on her feet in no time... hopefully. How we doing? Maria's looking better already, but what about you two? |

Sareena looked at Drake she sighed leaning back up against the wall. Sareena: Stop it Drake looked up at her "What?" he said to her "Stop doing what?" he asked her, Sareena walked over to him and hit him in the head. "What was that for?" Drake asked her. Sareena: Cause if Maria was awake she'd do it. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, you're Drake Fuckin Hellion. The Dragon of Hell remember? Old Man said it himself. So you lost control of yourself to a sword, the sword had Diablo's spirit in it dingus. It wasn't you, you think any of us would have faired any better with that weapon. Stop taking the blame of the entire world on your shoulders, you're one person...now what are you going to do? "Huh?" Drake asked her "What am I going to do..." he thought back to what he told her and Maria earlier. "I'm going to fight, that's what I'll do" he said to Sareena, she smirked at him and sat down shooing him and John out of the room. Sareena: Now, that sounds much more like the Drake we know...now go get ready. Find her a new rifle as a present Sareena closed door behind the two of the them, Maria laughed lightly "Thanks Sareena" She said closing her eyes again. Sareena smiled. ___ Anthony finished his steak and looked over at Rin when she told him to just take the compliment. He smiled at her "Thanks" he said kissing her quickly, Adrian rolled his eyes some and sat down. Adrian: I make a great dinner and all I get is a thank you. He gets a kiss and I get a thank you Uriel walked passed and smacked Adrian in the back of the head making him fall off the couch. Uriel: You know we love you shut up... Drake walked back down stairs when Tren bought up Maria's rifle. "Alastor, you got anything in that armory of yours?" Drake asked, Alastor shrugged. Alastor: Nothing I'd give to her, I do have one thing though. It was a gift from...well lets just say a grateful demoness He scratched his head and held out his hand a demonic rifle formed in it. He smirked at it and tossed it to Drake who caught it. "Thanks" Drake said to him, Alastor waved him off before turning to Ziken. Alastor: And how the hell am I supposed to do that? Call you? Uriel: Ahem...I think we really need to plan for our attack, this barrier won't last forever... Alastor: Right right...now the way I see it we have to deal with Baal's army and Samael's army possibly, but more importantly we have to deal with Abaddon, large demon Baal's other general. Now a team can get inside easy enough through the sewage system while the rest of us handle the fight outside. And by a small group I mean maybe 5 people tops. I'll be outside leading the fight against Samael so I'm not in...Uriel if you go in there you'll lose your power pretty quick. Uriel: its fine Anthony will go "I'll what now?" Anthony said looking at Uriel she shot him a look causing him to lower his head. "Great." he said sighing. "I'm going in" Drake said Alastor looked at him. Alastor: Good I was hoping you'd say that, but first there's someone who needs to see you |

Rhode came back to the house and put a crudely hand drawn map of the mansion’s grounds, marking the main house, the garages, the airfield, hanger, boat house, servant house and guest house. “You guys realize how huge this place is? Drug lords like their property apparently, this place is huge. As good a place as any for a base of operations… if we can get the demons to stop assaulting it that is.” He pointed out back. “There’s a plane out there i’m gunna restore. Gunna call it the Fulcan. Where are we with planning?” |
