Chapter 4: The Demons Arrive
The demonic hordes had finally entered the human realm through the doorway Loki had came through. The head Cyberdemon placed his feet on the grassy knoll and ordered his troops to march onto the field.
"Sir?" asked an imp, "Should we head after Loki?"
"I got another idea" replied the head Cyberdemon, "I'm going to assign you and a squad of elite barons and hell knights to track him down. How does that sound?"
"Would I get a promotion if I succeed?" asked the imp.
"If you succeed, certainly" replied the head Cyberdemon as he gave an evil smile which almost made the imp felt like this was going to be a complete failure. Then the head Cyberdemon turns to his fellow demons, "Now as for the rest of you it is time that we should acquire the power of the elders and destroy the Te Xuan Ze and anyone else whom dares stand in our way!"
The demonic horde then began to cheer and began their marching orders as the head Cyberdemon began muttering some ancient spell of some sort, the imp with the squad of barons of hell and hell knights headed toward Orchid Bay. They knew they were invisible to the inhabitants of the city and began to trek their way until they reached Ah-Mah's house which would be quite several minutes away. Instead it was Loki whom had finally reached Ah-Mah's house first. He busted into the room where Ray Ray, Sam, Tucker, the ghost marine, Clockwork and Monroe were.
"Loki" said Clockwork as he turned to him, "I thought you might be behind something like this."
"So why don't you make it easy on yourself" added the ghost marine as he cracked his knuckles and began to approach Loki.
"Look, I would love to take all the credit for this deed" said the god sweat began to run down his forehead, "but I can assure you most of this is caused by the head Cyberdemon of my high-tech demonic army."
"Why should we trust you?" asked Monroe.
Suddenly a fence behind Loki in the backyard blew up and as the smoke cleared the imp along with a squad of baron of hells and hell knights were standing.
"Because that's why" replied Loki as he pointed his finger to the imp and the squad of demons.
"Works for me" said the ghost marine as he readied his plasma gun and began firing along with Loki getting into the battle along with Clockwork.
"Looks like we need Vladster on our side" said Ray Ray.
"I think since we're dealing with baron of hells and hell knights I would probably agree that would be a good strategy to free him" said Monroe.
"We'll come to" said Tucker, "we don't want to be caught in this mess."
"I head that" added Sam.
As they were about to reach the basement, a baron of hell leaped right in front of them.
"I don't think you're going anywhere" said the demon as he roared in their faces.
"Hey, move it pig face" said Ray Ray, "or—"
"Or what?" asked the demon.
"How about you leave the kids alone?" asked Clockwork as he used his staff and placed the baron of hell in a bubble.
"Hey, get me out of here!" cried the demon as he threw a fireball which did no good in freeing him.
As Clockwork continued to keep the demons at bay along with Loki and the ghost marine, Ray Ray finally led the group back into the basement where Vlad Masters was still in the anti-ghost bubble Monroe had placed him earlier.
"Well, it seems like you people need my help, don't you?" asked Vlad.
"Look" replied Monroe as he used the wand to free him and zapped his power's energy to full, "we just want you to get rid of those demons and of course right the wrong you have committed and all of that stuff."
"Fine" smiled Vlad as he changed into his ghost mode, "let's turn up the heat of this party."
Vlad then zoomed right outside and he noticed that even Clockwork along with the god-Loki and the ghost marine were having quite some trouble dealing with the barons of hell and the various hell knights along with the commanding imp laughing at their misery.
"Looks like I'm going to get that promotion anyway!" laughed the imp.
"This is to much even for me" said the ghost marine as he was pinned down against some trash cans.
"Mind if I cut in?" asked Vlad as he appeared right in front of him.
"So what are you going to do to me?" asked the ghost marine since he still thought Vlad was on the enemy side.
"Nothing except this!" replied Vlad as he fired a large ghost beam against some oncoming barons of hell and some hell knights sending them crashing right into the commanding imp.
"You're on our side?" asked the ghost marine with such astonishment.
"Of course I am" replied Vlad.
"The only reason why you're on our side is to right a wrong you have committed again" added Monroe.
"And it shall be done" said Vlad as he split himself into four separate versions of himself and leaped into battle against the squad of demons.
As the Vlad clones went into battle, each clone took a good hit and another punch against a baron of hell to against a hell knight. The Vlad clones then fired a large ghost beam frying the barons of hell and the hell knights and then turned their attention toward the commanding imp whom was cowering between two remaining hell knights.
"Where are the others of your army?" asked Vlad as he grabbed the imp by the neck and pinned him against a tree.
"I-I-I don't know" replied the imp in such a frightful voice.
"They're heading to the realm of the elders" blurted one of the hell knights.
"And where might that be?" asked Vlad as he threw the imp right into the trash and walked toward the hell knight whom stated it.
"I believe that should be left for me" said Clockwork as he used his staff and placed the imp and the two remaining hell knights in protective bubbles, "just follow me."
While Clockwork opened a portal with his staff and the others began to follow, Danny, June and Ah-Mah were already there and were putting the finishing touches on their armor along with wielding various weapons.
"This looks all to familiar to the game Doomed which I played on my computer" said Danny.
"This is no video game" said Ah-Mah, "it's a matter of life and death, and please remain serious and stop looking at my granddaughter."
"So when would we know that they have arrived?" asked June to Ah-Mah.
Suddenly a missile fired out of nowhere and it was aimed right at June. Danny raced toward her and used his ghost powers, turned intangible along with June and the rocket exploded.
"Hey" cried June as they became visible, "why did you do that? I'm the Te Xuan Ze I can handle those types of things."
"Sorry" replied Danny, "old habit."
"And it looks like those demons have arrived" said Ah-Mah.
"That is correct" said the head Cyberdemon as he cracked his knuckles, "because this time around I will be the one to be victorious over the Te Xuan Ze and anyone else whom dares stand in my way."
