Mara absently picked at her fangs. *I can't believe I got pulled off
the Morisato
Case!* She ran through her blonde hair again with her hand. *I mean, I know
I keep
messing it up, but it's not my fault he's got the Three Norns living with
him!* She stood
up inside the bush, in her miniature form, it was easy to hide in plain
sight. *Gathering
intelligence is so boring!* She left the Temple grounds quickly, the pain
of being on Holy
Ground was getting worse.
She pulled out a CD, and flowed into it. She popped out of another CD in her home, if any sane mortal would call it such. Lit only by candlelight, you wouldn't want anymore light, for the numerous gargoyles would be even more grotesque in full sight. Her terminal to the Vanagdrasil was lit up with a mail alert. She grumbled, "Now what..." She opened the mail and her eyes widened at what she saw:
To: Mara, Demoness First Class, Unlimited License.
From: Vanagdrasil Ops System
Subject: Case #427765
The target of Case #427765 has been identified as a threat to the safety of the Vanagdrasil System. You are authorized to eliminate him using mortal methods. DO NOT use Magical or Infernal abilities in this assignment. If you do, the Ultimate Force will prevent the mission's completion, as well as alerting the Yggdrasil to your actions. This could create open war between Heaven and Hell. This CANNOT be allowed until the time is right. Delete this message as soon as you have memorized the contents.
"What the heaven? How could some mortal be a threat to the Vanagdrasil? And no magic? Where's the fun in that?" An eddy in the space-time continuum produced a tiny devil at her shoulder. "Awww, is Mara-sama upset? That makes Senbei happy!" She batted at the devil, "Shut up! And I am not your onee-sama!" Senbei dodged the blow, "Of course not sekushi Mara!" Mara shook her head, and tapped the teeth of a particular gargoyle in a ceratin order. The wall opened up to reveal an assortment of swords, axes, scythes, and guns. "What will my sekushi Mara be doing?" Mara started mumbling, "Aurora, exhalare sanguine aether, ater sanctus!" A split column of purple- black light spun over Senbei, and black energy blasts ripped through him. "Don't call me sekushi!" Senbei cowered in the corner, "yes M...mara!" She grabbed a long sword, tucked it into a scabbard and went into town.
Erich stepped out of Radio Shack with the new parts he needed. If he was going to get the new bot done in time, he'd have to put in overtime. "What the?" it was too dark outside, he felt that something was wrong. "Better hurry home..." He hopped on the motorcycle and sped off. But a sudden explosion in the road about 4 kilometers from his home stopped him. "Holy shi..!" A woman walked out of the explosion, slim and blond, and carrying a big sword.
"Now is the time of your death Erich!" Mara smirked inwardly at her imposing voice, so she couldn't use magic to kill him directly, but she could scare him out of his wits with it. Erich quickly dropped into a fighting stance, and met her eyes. "Hmmmm, so brave for a mortal, this should be fun!" She charged at him with the blade, but he dodged her wild swing. He released two rapid kicks that Mara deflected with the flat of her blade. "Good! You fight well for a human!" She renewed her assault with a figure-8 slash that Erich once again managed to avoid. Again, Erich kicked at her, but his blows were deflected. She taunted him again, "You can't win! A mortal could never best a demon!"
*So that's what she is* Erich thought, *But why doesn't she just blast me into oblivion if she wants to kill me? *Erich dodged a backhand swing, deliver a roundhouse kick to her gut and leapt into the air, he came down on Mara's head a stomped it thrice before hitting the ground. "Gah! You, how dare you!" Before she can recover, he delivers 3 rapid kicks, then hits her with a split kick that explodes into electricity upon impact. Mara slumps to the ground, weakened, "Bless you mortal! I'll get revenge!" She flew off into the distance, and Erich didn't even wonder how he did the lightning blast kick, he just mounted the motorcycle and rode back home.
Okay, that's enough for now I think.
