Sins of the Father
Damien walked up to the entrance of Chupa Cabra's, Death City's local cabaret club. He walked inside and could see Spirit in the back of the club sitting with a girl with long purple hair and cat ears.
"So is this where you spend your time now?" Damien asked sitting next to Spirit.
"Is this Damien?" The cat girl asked leaning over Spirit, "ohh he's such a cutie!"
"Blair," Spirit sighed, "this is Damien Wolf." Damien waved and Blair jumped over Spirit, sitting on top of Damien and hugging him.
"So this is the adorable boy that you and Stein raised," Blair exclaimed happily, cuddling Damien. Suddenly a crimson flash came from his hip and Liliana appeared behind Blair.
"Blair," Damien coughed, "This is Liliana, my girlfriend and weapon partner." Liliana looked at the two angrily as Blair got off of Damien.
"I'm so sorry," Blair apologized, "can I get the two of you something?"
"I'll take a coffee," Damien said as Liliana sat next to him and hugged him.
"Water would be great," Liliana said clinging to Damien.
"You ok?" Damien asked Liliana as Blair walked away.
"Yea," Liliana said, "I just didn't like seeing another girl do that to you."
"Blair is just affectionate like that," Spirit said as Blair came back with the drinks, "so what brings you two here?"
"Well we got Michael, Chloe and Kyle settled into the apartment next to ours so we're headed out to hunt down the demon and the Witch," Damien explained, "I just wanted to talk to you before I did."
"Well you're here now," Spirit smiled as he watched Damien drink his coffee, "you're going to bring her back as a Death Scythe right?"
"If I don't I'm gonna end up dead," Damien said seriously.
"But I won't let that happen," Liliana said with confidence.
"That's the spirit!" Blair said encouraging the two, "But who are these two?"
"My parents," Damien grimaced.
"Oh," Blair looked at him concerned, "you're parents are a demon and a witch?"
"Yea," Liliana answered, "but he isn't close to being like either of them."
"He's more like a balance of me and Stein," Spirit laughed. Damien looked up and nodded. Once they had finished their drinks Damien and Liliana stood up and prepared to leave.
"No offense," Damien said looking at Spirit, "but maybe you should stop hanging out here so much and start spending more time with Maka, like you did with me." Spirit smiled and nodded. "Well bye you two."
"Bye!" Blair said jumping up and hugging Damien tightly, "When you get back you should play with me." Liliana glared at her and then smiled when she realized that Damien didn't respond to her.
Once the two were outside again they got onto Damien's motorcycle that was parked on the side of the club. They drove toward the outskirts of the city as Damien attempted to locate his parent's souls using his soul perception.
"I hope Damien and Liliana are doing ok," Chloe said as she looked at the sunset.
"They'll be fine," Michael smiled standing next to her.
"Who is buying dinner tonight?!" Kyle yelled from the kitchen. Michael and Chloe both sighed turning to him.
"Why did they leave us alone with him again?" The two cried in unison.
Damien brought the motorcycle to a stop outside of a cave in the mountains near Death City. "They're in there," Damien said looking into the cave. He could clearly make out a dark red soul with wolf ears and a tail as well as a purple soul with the symbol for witch on it inside of the cave.
"Damien are you sure we're up for this?" Liliana tugged at the sleeve of his trench coat before he walked inside.
"We can do this," Damien reassured her as he grabbed her hand. She transformed into her revolver form and he spun her on one finger before pointing her into the cave. Damien walked into the cave slowly and noticed that torches began to light as he walked deeper into the cave. After about 20 minutes of walking he came to an open area in the cave that had a large fire in the middle. On the other side of the fire a man and a woman sat on a log.
"Oh my son," the woman smiled, "have you come to join us?"
"Not in your wildest dreams," Damien snapped as his revolver's front sights found the source of the voice, "this is the first time I've even met you two."
"But you do know that we're your parents," The man smiled.
"Shut your mouth demon!" Damien yelled his gun moving to aim at his father, "In the name of Lord Death I have come to take your souls and forge a weapon fit for a god, a Death Scythe."
"Oh so you're just going to use us?" Victoria laughed, "Maybe you are just like us."
"Shut up!" Damien yelled firing at the witch. She jumped up and did a back flip to dodge. Vincent lunged forward toward Damien and he stepped back, dodging his punch. He shot him once in the arm and then again in the chest. The demon stumbled back holding his chest.
"I might have to transform for this," Vincent said as his hands turned into claws accompanied by the sound of cracking bones. The demons body became misshapen as his legs snapped backwards to resemble a wolf's hind legs. He became taller but soon hunched over onto all four of his limbs. His claws dug into the earth as he growled and then roared as the transformation ended with the elongating of his mouth and nose into a feral snout. Damien fired at him twice more and then he noticed his mother above him. The fire from the center of the room suddenly shot toward him and he dodged. The edge of his trench coat caught on fire and he pulled it off, throwing it over his father's face and firing several shots at him as he rolled away from the pouncing werewolf. Vincent rolled along the floor in a crumpled ball of silver fur as he scrambled to get back up.
"Are you sure you don't want to join us?" Victoria asked, "We can tell you the truth."
"Yes," the demon said throwing the burning coat to the floor, "how we gave you to Stein so that you could learn and become a powerful ally against the DWMA."
"We just wanted our son to be the best," Victoria said walking toward Damien. She looked into his eyes gently, "we love you Damien."
"They're liars Damien!" Liliana yelled, snapping him out of his moment of sympathy, "Stein and Spirit raised you and all you've ever wanted was to make me a Death Scythe."
"Don't be selfish girl," Vincent growled at her. Damien looked up, sneering at his father.
"Don't you ever talk to Liliana like that!" Damien yelled as he brought the revolver to his side. She transformed into her scythe mode as Damien rushed toward his father. Damien slashed wildly at the demon who dodged backward over and over again. Vincent dodged a downward slash and saw his opening. He thrust a claw into Damien's side and then kicked his son away from himself.
"You chose her over us?" the werewolf asked angrily, "We brought you into this world boy!"
"You raped my mother you sick bastard," Damien winced as he stood up, using Liliana as a crutch, "you raped her and then I appeared, then to make it worse you give me to a sadistic scientist in hopes that he killed me."
"So you know it all do you?" Victoria asked as the fire swirled around her hands. She formed a whip out of the fire and wrapped it around Liliana, pulling the scythe away from Damien. He fell forward but was caught when his father pounced at him, taking him onto his back with his jaws snapping at Damien. Victoria used her magic to burn Liliana until she returned to her human form.
"Liliana!" Damien yelled as he reached into his coat pocket and produced a pocket knife. The demon's mouth came at him for another attack. Damien dodged his father's jaws and slammed the knife into his neck as he used his other palm to send a jolt of his soul force. The wolf was launched up slightly and fell temporarily unable to move. Damien charged toward the witch who was still burning his partner. Victoria noticed Damien and wrapped the whip around him, using it to channel her magic into him. Damien began to collapse when he saw his father standing and walking over to Liliana. The werewolf picked her up by the throat and held her up against the wall.
"This should be fun," the monster laughed sliding a claw toward Liliana's skirt, "just like it was with your mother boy." Damien watched helplessly as his father prepared to ravish his partner. Damien screamed in anger as his shoulder blades cracked. Two large bulges formed underneath his coat as the fabric began to tear. Suddenly two large black wings burst out from his back, tearing the whip around him apart. Damien used the wings to push himself forward, thrusting his fist into Demon's chest and shocking his heart directly with his soul wave length. He grabbed Liliana as she fell, looking down at her terrified face.
"Are you ok?" Damien asked concerned as he cradled her.
"Yea," she said weakly, "I think I can still fight."
"Good," Damien smiled, "you know I can't do this without you." Damien stood up and looked at his parents. Victoria placed a hand over Vincent and used her magic to heal him completely.
"Looks like you have to start all over son," she said laughing.
"I don't care how many times I have to hurt you," Damien said as Liliana turned into her chain scythe mode, "I'm still going to kill both of you!" Damien's wings became slightly larger as he crossed his scythes. "Let's go Liliana," Damien yelled concentrating his soul wave length on her, "Soul resonance, Reaping Hex Blades!" As he yelled this all six scythe blade began to grow and glow with the black and red energy of their souls.
"That won't be enough to kill us," Vincent said as a Kishin eye appeared on his chest and one appeared on Victoria's forehead.
"We'll just have to find out about that," Damien said as he began to spin one of the Scythes by the chain, "Death's windmill!" Damien yelled as he used his wings to boost himself toward his opponents with as much speed as possible.
"So the fight has begun," Stein said as he approached Lord Death.
"It seems that way," Lord Death responded as he watched Damien take the first shot at his father. Maka, Black Star, Death the Kid, their weapons, Blair, Spirit, Kyle, Michael and Chloe were also watching their friend and rooting for him.
"Oh I hope that adorable thing is going to be ok," Blair squealed uncontrollably, "I don't care if he has a girlfriend, I'd be heartbroken if I ever saw such a cute boy get seriously hurt." As she said that Damien was stabbed in the side by the werewolf. "Oh no," Blair cried as Spirit consoled her.
"He'll be ok," Stein laughed, "Spirit has stabbed him in the same spot at least 13 times." They all watched as Damien was thrown and the fight continued, with Demon choking Liliana and Damien's wings finally showing themselves.
"Oh he looks like an angel!" Patty yelled with amusement.
"Yes he does," Death said under his breath, "an Angel.."
"An Angel of Death," Spirit smiled gratified by who Damien had become.
