A/N: Hello once again, it's been awhile. In the time I've been gone I've been going through a lot of experimentation. This is one of those experiments. I've never really tried a story like this and would never much appreciate a review with your opinion. Should I continue this peice?
Moments before Justice died he only had one thought on his mind.
His girlfriend and D.A.R.E had both been right, drinking and driving were a bad idea.
Hardly 22, and a mountain of college debt. Justice wasn't exactly in the best of places. It was in this time of pity and self-loathing that he had found alcohol was a pretty decent substitute for actually solving his problems.
It had been going pretty smooth until that night.
The night he found his girlfriend in his bed with another guy.
In his own bed.
What a bitch.
No words, he just turned around and left. He didn't have time to deal with this. His existential crisis was already taking up too much of his time. A cheating girlfriend would have to be put on hold for a few hours.
He really needed a drink.
In a rage, he had fled his home and drove immediately to the bar. Two hours and few drinks later Justice was an utter wreck.
He had considered calling his girlfriend for a ride.
But she was still probably busy with that other guy.
Still probably in his bed.
So he slid in behind the wheel and figured he'd make it work. Even if it killed him.
And it did.
Standing in the wide green field was a girl with long blond hair and a stiff expression. Her eyes were cold and direct, staring at Justice with an indifferent expression.
In her open palm rested two devices, a ring, and a watch.
"You will vanquish all evil," she whispered, then kissed him on the lips.
Ralph chased the four demons through the darkened city, keeping a close eye on the black colored watch on his wrist. The shorthand rested on the 3, meaning he had less than two hours to take care of business.
The creatures sped past the nearest building and plowed through the road, flying right in front of a lone red truck that seemed oblivious to their existence.
Ralph followed close behind, just barely getting within the grasp of them.
He glanced down again at his watch, feeling a familiar anxiety. This was taking far too long.
He was shaken back into reality by a shriek echoing across the street.
Well, that's just great.
Ralph's worst fears were realized as he approached the four demons and the girl they surrounded. From this angle, Ralph was given a much better view of the creatures. They were clad in long black robes that blended into the darkness behind them the only sense of personality came from the bone shaped masks that concealed their faces.
One of the demons diverted its attention from the girl and lept at Ralph, drawing its thin katana in the process.
Ralph dodged the blade's sharp edge with hardly any wiggle room. He slipped and fell against the brick wall, causing a sharp pain and thin line of hot blood.
The three-foot demon was nimble and quick, easily adjusting to Ralph's shift in position lept forward to deliver a killing blow.
By sheer luck alone when the blade swung down it hit against Ralph's black colored wrist watch. Sparks erupted from the impact point and a rush of blue electricity rushed across the katana and caused the demon to explode.
The death of their comrade seemed to enrage the other three demons because they all turned on Ralph.
"'Least you're not running," he muttered and held out his arm. A red colored gemstone attached to a ring on his middle finger began to glow with a powerful energy.
A blast of red power enveloped his form and harden into a skin tight armor. The armor consisted of black underclothes similar to leather with a red chest plate, leggings, and gauntlets. The chest plate branded the triangular symbol of Aries His helmet seemed to emulate the ram that the symbol was based on, with curling horns on the side of the helmet that greeted each other through the wide black visor.
A large hammer formed in his hand and he immediately smashed one of the oncoming demons into smoke. The second one was slammed right into the wall immediately after.
The last demon began to suddenly convulse before exploding into a whirlwind of energy that abruptly flew into the terrified girl's mouth.
"God dammit," The red warrior mumbled under his breath as the girl began to scream out in pain. Her body thrashed around as it was slowly covered in a dark spiked armor. A mask formed across her face though instead of depicting a human skull it created a face sized tiger skull.
The demon had overwhelmed her, possessing her body and gaining a threatening power.
The super demon slammed right into the red warrior, knocking him directly off his feet and sending him crashing into the side of a building. His armor took a large percentage of the blow, but it still hurt quite a bit.
He tried to recover from the assault, but the enemy was already holding him by the neck. Squeezing tight and snarling in his face.
Just as the creature was going to continue its game of smashing into Red really hard it was interrupted by a blast of green energy. The demon was thrown back and landed hard on its side before sliding across the ground.
"We don't have time for you to be making out with a demon," A snarky voice called from the end of the street. The figure approached quickly. He was dressed in the same armor as the Red warrior, only his was green and had the straight edge symbol for Sagittarius.
"Just in time," Red said, brushing the dust off his legs.
The green warrior drew the string on his large metallic bow and it began to glow radiate a visible energy.
The demon stood in a feral stance, it was clear that whatever demon had taken over the girl's body clearly wasn't a very intelligent one.
The demon started to charge forward, but a powerful energy blast from Green's bow knocked it back several feet.
The demon shook off whatever pain it experienced and stood back up.
"Man this guy is tough," Red whispered.
"Good thing Maria is on her way," Green said, drawing his string back for another attack.
Before Red had enough time to say, Oh no, the third warrior had arrived.
They had lept from atop a nearby rooftop, diving gracefully through the air with their front pointed downward. They then rolled upon impact and maneuvered into a crouching position in front of the other two warriors.
"We only have an hour left, let's try to make this quick," she said calmly, her twin cutlass armed and ready.
Maria's armor was the same as the rest, only purple and carrying the curvy symbol for Scorpio.
Maria jumped at the demon, extending both of her blades. She then swung them both in a scissoring motion, cutting right through the demon's chest and causing a decent amount of smoke to expel from its stomach.
A vortex of dark energy swirled around the demon's body and once it faded the girl remained in its place.
"Let's bring her to the hospital," Maria said, "Then we can head back to the Manor."
