Now, I ALSO made this rough and havent reviewed it entirely. Its kind of odd cos I'm not too proud of the ending. But anyway, its made very rough, and I'll try and update it if theres trouble about it or I'm not happy with it.
Who is Calderis? I mean seriously. He's some random metal dude who is sent by Lucius to track Bale. Well, let me explain it to you. IN STORY!
Enjoy!
The darkness had finally faded upon lower Miseryville. The suns finally had risen towards the sky. During the the brightest times, the horrors and creatures would not dare come out in the light of day, like the civilians would come out in the depths of the night.
Bale lifted his gruesome head. He could sense the cheerful emotions of civilians crowding around the streets. The daemon was well out of sight from them. Still in the wrecked household where Heloise was sleeping.
He turned his head towards the girl. Her eyes began to slowly open. She sat herself up yawning. Turning her head at the daemon, who looked at her softly. She made a cheerful smile. Then, there was a rumble in her stomach.
The daemon knew of a mortals need for food.
Bale sighed at the mortals weakness. But he had to accept the responsibility.
"Come girl." He said. "We'll go find something."
Motion trackers were picking up a signal. Calderis took a look at the portable gadget on his grasp.
Without the darkness, the mechanical figure finally revealed his appearance. Calderis wore a battle-suit, which covered his entire body, the armour was pure black, thick in layers of wiring and plating alike. He wore a helmet, the helm took the form of Calderis's inhuman face. It was almost flat and triangular, with two blades on either side of it. Two massive glass-made eyes shielded his own.
Upon looking into his device, he saw the dot of the supernatural creature.
"Strange." He said to himself.
Knowing daemons of all his life, they would never become these revealing at day. He turned his head down towards the crowd underneath the building he stood on.
During the day, civilians of lower Miseryville would have markets and stores put up.
Calderis lifted his sniper rifle looking into the scope with his glass eye, he took a look at a man who was wandering in the middle of the civilian horde. He was young, with a large black cloak that shielded him from Calderis's sight. He moved the scope down to another figure in which the man was holding by the hand. It was Heloise.
"Unusual." Calderis muttered to himself. He turned the scope back the the man's head.
"There's something about you in which I don't know."

Bale resisted the urge to feast upon all the souls that moved around him. He was surrounded by the emotions of crowds of civilians. All are here to buy from the stores. But Bale had to resist the urge. Any chance of exploiting himself would lead danger towards Heloise. He had taken the form of a young man, wearing a black cloak and a hood which hung over his head, so none could see his black eyes.
Lifting his human head, he looked towards a small market stool, it was selling food types such as bread and fruit. He moved towards it, Heloise following him.
As he finally took a look at the selections of food, he picked up an apple, then gave it to Heloise.
"HEY!" The seller cried at at Bale. The creature was a large muscular Cyclops. He had a single eye, with goat legs for feet, holding a shotgun by his hand.
"You gonna pay for that, worm?" He said in anger towards the human formed daemon.
Bale stood there motionless, his hand slowly began to take the form of a claw, but he stopped, feeling Heloise tug his arm. Bale made a sigh.
"How much?" He said in a suppressed tone. Putting his hand out, several gold pieces grew from his palm, dropping them on the shopkeepers hand. The Cyclops eye widened at the gold.
Seeing the seller distracted upon the money, Bale took a piece of bread as well, giving it to Heloise, who began to eat it in joy.

Calderis had his scope right on Bale, who didn't see a thing. The metallic creatures trigger finger began to itch.
"I have you now."
He pulled the trigger.

Heloise made a scream, the entire crowd turned at Bale in shock, a massive net smashed into the human-like daemon, the impact plunged him straight through the food store, finally crashing on the wall. Bale made a horrific screech in anger, his human like hand ripped into a blade, stabbing into the net that had trapped him, but there was not effect, the object was made out of some kind of tough metal.
Heloise rushed towards him, completely shocked upon what had just happened. The entire crowd of civilians screamed and ran. Bale took a sharp look at the source of the shot, seeing a figure walking towards him ever calm. The daemon could see nothing inside it, there was no emotion, no known soul contained inside it, the metallic creature was made entirely of technology and science, the one thing no daemon could sense.
Bale made an angry hiss at the abomination, his slim black tongue twisting inside. The figure lifted his arm, it's metallic hand took the form of some kind of gun, pointing it at Bale, Heloise almost bursting in tears of fear and confusion.
It was at that moment, a massive blast came from next to the figure. Shotgun slugs burst on Calderis's armour, the bullets took no effect as they simply bounced off. Calderis turned his head at the source of the weapons fire. There stood the Cyclops, pointing his weapon towards the mechanical abomination.
"You! I know you!" The seller spat in fury. "Your that top inventor guy! The one who makes the machines for Lucius! Your damn gadgets ruined my life! It was YOU who killed my son!"
The monster showed pure rage. He loaded his weapon again.
"YOU killed my wife!"
He fired the bullets into Calderis, who merely shrugged them off.
"YOU KILLED MY FAMILY!" The Cyclops screamed out. He began to load his weapon once more.
Calderis stared at the rage-filled monster, showing no motion. He redirected his gun-like arm towards the Cyclops.
"Tell them I said 'hi'." He said in his calm, metallic voice.
Calderis's 'hand' spat out with a bang. The Cyclops almost jumped as the bullet hit him. He opened his eye, realising that he was still alive. He looked down to where the wound should be. On it, was a small dark which was impaled on his leathery skin. The shopkeeper began to make an idiotic laugh.
"Is that the best you got? You little ru-"
The dart suddenly made a small beeping sound, the Cyclops could only turn his down towards the dart before he was torn to shreds. The dart had caused some kind of explosion, the shopkeeper had exploded into blood and gore from it, his body-parts splattering all over the area. Calderis was merely amused at this.
"Now." He said. "Where was I." He turned his head to the net. But the daemon was not there. Heloise was standing next to it, who also noticed that Bale had vanished. Calderis could merely turn his head in wonder before he felt Bale's crab-like claw grab the metallic creature by the neck, lifting him and turning him towards his face. Bale had taken his true form.
Bale's eyes shone in rage. "Did you merely think you could surprise me?" Bale said in his daemonic voice.
Calderis showed no motion. A small gun shaped device surfaced from his armoured shoulder, pointing it towards Bale's face.
"Boo."
The weapon burst into life, firing a dart into Bale's face, the daemon could merely recover from the impact before the dart detonated, Bale flew into a building behind him from the explosion.
Calderis, who the daemon had let go immediately, landed on his feet, he took his weapon like hand, and pointed it towards the shroud of dirt where Bale had crashed into. Calderis had no time to fire, dozens of tentacles swarmed out from the smoke, the mechanic creature quickly switched on his jump pack, the device roared into life, as it forced him into the sky, the tentacles continued to pursued him, Calderis flew his arms open, from his chest, a pile of grenades dropped out, exploding into the daemonic hands, which shattered and swirled back to the ground. As the smoke cleared, the daemon sprung out into the air, Bale had his wing layers opened, two massive leathery bat wings had sprung out.
Calderis refused to flee, his gun-like hand sprung a long blade from its barrel. The metallic creature swooped down towards the furious daemon, the two darted towards one another, Calderis swung his arms open again, grenades flipped out, forcing Bale to hesitate from the action, the explosions smashed into his body, and out from the smoke Calderis crashed into him like a bullet, forcing the daemon to smash back to the ground, the impact ripped open a crater where Bale had landed. Calderis, on top of the daemon, slashed his blade into the him, cutting into its immortal flesh, Bale screamed in fury from the pain, his tentacles, lying around him sprung to life, a blade-like one launched into Calderis, impaling him through chest, the mechanical creatures body became stuck on the blade, as the tentacle tossed him away into one of the market stools, smashing everything apart.
Bale lifted himself up, his wound finally healing itself, he screamed in laughter as Calderis tried to push himself up, but one of the daemons tentacles grabbed him, throwing him into a statue of Lucius, the statue smashed on the impact, Calderis once again tried to pick himself up, but Bale threw a blade-like tentacle towards him, Calderis had just rolled out the way, as the blade smashed next to him, the mechanical creature picked himself up, he looked upon the daemon, who sprung towards him, Calderis took is blade-like hand, it returned into a gun, he fired plasma bullets into Bale's torso, the daemon merely shrugged them off, Bale smashed his massive hand on Calderis, the impact forced the mechanical creatures body to bounce from the ground, then Bale released his crab-like claw into the machines body, forcing Calderis to soar away, smashing upon another market stool. Bale had the upper advantage, he screamed in laughter as he prepared to torment the creature of technology. Calderis lifted his head, he turned it towards a figure standing a few yards away from him. It was Heloise, who had made attempt to hide from the fight. Calderis realised the the tide of battle could change.
The mechanical being lifted himself upwards, and pointed his gun-like hand towards the little girl.
"One false movement daemon...." He said in his calm metallic voice. "... and I will not hesitate to fire are her." Bale hesitated and halted laughing.
Calderis managed to find his strength as he picked himself up, his gun pointing straight at the fear stuck Heloise.
"The ammunition in my weapon will not kill her upon the impact, but it will release enough venom to give her a slow and painful death. The venom is completely bio-geneticly made. No daemon could cure it."
Bale halted at the moment. No matter how much rage the mortal implanted into him, it would not be enough to risk movement without Heloise suffering.
"You ARE a coward." Bale spat out. "A mere mortal who hides behind the ways of science and technology. You fear those of the supernatural ways, you believe science is more superior, and you attempt to prove it by fighting me. Now you threaten the life of a mortal girl just so you can claim victory."
Calderis lifted his head. "I'm doing my job." He turned his head towards the girl.
"Then again. If its truly cowardly to threaten a daemon, then I shouldn't need her."
The gun blasted open, Bale launched his tentacle arm in the way of Heloise just in time, the bullet pierced into the daemons flesh, Bale screamed in pain. Calderis saw his chance, he launched himself towards the screaming daemon, with a blade on his hand. But he was merely metres away from the daemon before it changed its emotion, a tentacle claw smashed into Calderis, grabbing him tightly, and smashing him to the ground. Bale screamed in laughter. Lifting Calderis in the air again, and smashing him into a building, then directing him towards the daemons face.
Calderis was almost a wreckage, his arm, obviously robotic, had been torn off from the attack, he was covered in scratches, massive holes pierced into his armour. Bale places his grab claw upon the mechanical creatures neck.
"One move, and I'll snap your head off." Bale spat out.
The daemon lifted his tentacle-like arm over Calderis's helmet.
"Now. Let's see what hides behind that mask of yours." He places his sharp fingers into the helmet, giving it a short tug, steam was released from the gaps of the helmet. He pulled it clean off, then tossing it away. The figure was something that surprised even Bale.
It was a Misery-Mantis. His skin was dark green, but his right eye was completely robotic, metal and with a red pupil. He had some wiring which covered the mantids mouth. Calderis lifted his exposed head towards Bale.
"Do... you like... what you... see?" He said, his voice remained metallic.
Bale examined the creatures face. "You are pathetic, sacrificing your life to such misery."
Calderis remained motionless. Bale turned his head in curiosity.
"Out of your tricks, mortal?"
Immediately, Bale sensed something rise into Calderis's chest. It was something mortal. An emotion, a quietly unusual one. It was joy.
Calderis lifted his last arm up, and smashed his sharp metallic nails into his battered chest. An small beeping sound immediately came from it. Calderis looked up towards Bale.
"Just the one."
Calderis made a metallic chuckle. The chuckle formed into a laugh, then he screamed into insane laugh. Bale hesitated at the mortals laughter, he only knew that whatever trick he had wasn't going to be pleasant. The daemon tossed the mortal away, the laughter came louder, then everything came silent. Calderis vanished instantly in the air, almost like he imploded. The silent broke into a massive screech, as everything around Calderis began to suck towards where he was, a black hole spat itself open, everything was becoming pulled inside it, Bale dug his claws into the ground, he reached for Heloise, who was screaming through the massive screeches of the air being sucked into it. Bale screamed in anger, the black hole making attempt to suck him inside.
Bale made a screech. Then all of a sudden, Bale halted. He stood up motionless, the girl in her grasp, he turned towards the black hole. His eyes remained filled with hate. One of his tentacle-like hands sprung from his body, launching itself at the black hole. As it pierced inside it, the hole halted its sucking power, and merely remained there.
Everything went silent. The area around was wrecked and lifeless, the hole was just an object which remained there, as motionless as a rock. Heloise, tears in her eyes, remained under Bale's grasp. Bale hissed in hate towards the hole.
"One less mortal to become an ignorance."
