Aliasmos woke up the next day with a splitting headache and Sean asleep in a chair next to the bed, she was well aware a headache of that magnitude meant one thing and one thing only.

Amber took control of her body, she knew she had to check on everyone she loved to make sure no one was injured or hurt, but Sean looked so peaceful she didn't want to scare him in any way, so she grabbed her laptop from downstairs and snuck back into her double bed, where Fluffy and Cerbie did their best to snuggle into her as much as they could without getting in her way. She found herself typing up the adventurers she was having as if it was her own book and found herself wondering what it would be like to be a published author with a huge smile on her face.

''Morning love'' said Sean sleepily as he stretched

''Hey you'' Aliasmos beamed

''How you feeling?'' he asked as he left his chair and sat next to her on the bed

''Like my head got slapped with a sledge hammer'' she sighed

''I take it that's a side effect of Amber coming out?''

''Yeah and it's a horrible one as well, I usually keep her on a tight lease but I must have lost it yesterday''

''Yeah you did loss it a bit, Kate managed to banish her back once you sent a group of slavers to your aunt''

''That explains the burning sensation with the headache then'' nodded Aliasmos. ''Come on we should get up, I need some food and to make sure I didn't hurt anyone last night''

Aliasmos and Sean got dressed then headed into the common room with Cerbie being overly protective of his mistress due to the way she walked a little slower than usual and her legs refused to follow a straight line, Sean finally picked up on the messages from the hell hound and allowed his girlfriend to snuggle into his chest as they slowly made their way to the others.

''You need to explain last night right now'' barked Nigel the moment he saw his daughter

''I don't know what I did last night'' sighed Aliasmos as Sean helped her into a seat

''Shouting at her isn't going to work, she always has this side effect after Amber makes an appearance'' barked Cathie

''How the hell would you know?'' he demanded

''Because I am her mother'' Cathie bellowed causing a green aura to flare up around her

''Can we please stop shouting as my head is pounding right now?'' shouted Aliasmos

''Are you alright?'' asked Cathie who quickly calmed down so she could check on her daughter

''Yeah I'm fine just a headache from Amber saying hello, right now I just hope I didn't get anyone here hurt''

''We're fine, but the thugs you and Kate encountered last night have a new home'' smiled Cronos

''What the hell did I do this time?'' sighed Aliasmos

''You sent them to Luithia'' he smiled

''Oh shite'' hissed Aliasmos

''The groups disappearance is all over the news plus Luithia sent you a note thanking you for her new subjects'' said Cathie as she took a note out of her pocket and handed it over to her daughter as well as a drink of water a two painkillers for her headache

''Please tell me that's the bad news?'' she pleaded

''That's actually the good news'' said Cathie

''Oh god how much worse can it get?''

''We have the results from the mosquitos you collected and they were magically created'' sighed Cathie

''By who?'' asked Kate

''Ninet'' sighed Mooshka which meant only one thing to the Helena family

''That son of a whore, I'm going to fucking kill him'' snapped Aliasmos

Aliasmos stood up and wondered over to the computers as she started looking for someone

''This should be fun'' smiled Cronos

''Do I want to know who she's going to kill?'' asked Sean

''Our father'' smiled Forge and Cronos

''Again'' finished Cathie

''Found the cunt'' hissed Aliasmos

Forge and Cronos ran to the screen to get a look with their own eyes at what their so called father was up to these days

''Cronos grab your stuff we need to pay this scum bag a visit''

''I've been looking forward to this'' smiled Cronos as he cracked his knuckles

''Should I be worried?'' asked Sean

''No'' answered Aliasmos, Cronos, Forge and Cathie blankly

''Punch him in the gut for me'' said Mooshka

''Will do sis'' smiled Aliasmos

''Now I really am worried'' sighed Sean

''I'll explain it once mum's out hunting'' said Forge as he patted Sean on the shoulder

Aliasmos went into her room and changed into a pair of black skinny trousers, a black tank top, and her favourite pair of studded combat boots. She made sure she only grabbed a few knives as well as a reinforced full metal gauntlet that was a part of her original outfit from her incarnation from the purge tank and made sure she was flashing it as she strutted back into the living room. Everyone could see that she was really looking forward to this showdown as she walked into the living room with a black scarf around her neck, along with her gun and a few knives hanging in clear sight from her slightly wonky belt.

''Damn mum'' hissed Forge

''What?'' she barked

''I don't think I've ever seen you wearing so much black before''

''I don't want to stain my cloths with your father's blood'' she smiled

Cronos couldn't help but snigger at his mother's response

''Fair point'' nodded Forge as he sat down at his desk to put the coordinates into the teleportation machine

Aliasmos and Cronos stood on the platform, ''we're ready when you are'' she said

''Can you at least take a firearm with you?'' asked Nigel

''Of course'' smiled Aliasmos as she flashed the small, silenced pistol attached to her holster which she kept behind her back

''Happy hunting'' smiled Forge

''Oh we will'' she smiled back

Aliasmos and Cronos found themselves in an open field which overlooked the millennium dome

''Oh this is bad'' muttered Aliasmos as she could feel a thousand demonic eyes on her

''Tell me about it'' barked Cronos as he summoned his weapons and started to scan the area

''Forge we have a problem down here'' called Aliasmos as she brought out her radio

''Sorry mum, that was the closet I could get you, there's some kind of interference near his building''

''Damn it'' hissed Aliasmos. ''Forge it looks like we have some company here as well so I need you to do a supernatural scan of the area, we need to know how many demons there are between us and Griff''

''You've got it mum and I'll put everyone else on standby as well just encase the numbers are too great for you two''

''That's fine but give Kate a night off, she had to go through too much shit a few days ago and she deserves a break''

''You got it mum, looking at the scan there are only about ten scout parties between you and Dad, head west. Keep me on the link and I can give you directions from here''

''Thanks Forge, I owe you one''

''This is going to be fun'' smiled Cronos

''Tonnes of fun there's only a thousand demons between us and your father'' sighed Aliasmos clearly showing her age

''Damn that many'' hissed Cronos

''Yeah, thankfully their only scout parties so it won't be a huge headache to put down''

''In that case after you, seeing as you're the one who knows where we're actually going''

Aliasmos lead the way making sure they kept off the main streets as they were both visibly armed and knew they were being hunted. She was thankful she made sure she used her silences gun as the first group had them a little too cornered for comfort, which left Cronos to use the shadows to his full advantage.

''Right mum, you need to take a left then a right at the next street otherwise you and my baby brother are going to be facing demonic mercenaries'' said Forge down the radio

Aliasmos grabbed Cronos and teleported them to the next street with no warning

''What the hell?'' barked Cronos

Aliasmos put her hand over her sons mouth, then forced him into the shadows as six twisted voices became louder

''That traitor Griff is around here somewhere find him. Our master wants him as a general and our master will have him as a general''

''Shit'' muttered Cronos

''Yeah we need to find him now'' whispered Aliasmos

''So beating him to death isn't an option then'' suggested Cronos

''Not right now, I suspect they have means to bring him back from the dead as well'' sighed Aliasmos.

''Damn, here I hoped I could have serious fun, with Dad around once again'' smiled Cronos

''Forge these Mercs are after your father, you have to give us a direct route or you send the cavalry and we take them out now''

''Taking them down is going to take two much time, you have to run down the street and then take the next left'' suggested Forge

Aliasmos and Cronos started to jog down the streets with Forge giving them directions as they both made sure to keep to the shadows so they weren't spotted, finally they appeared before a Victorian style house which was clearly modified to be a set of flats.

''I need a house number'' said Aliasmos

''Hold on, try number seventeen''

''Somehow that doesn't surprise me'' muttered Aliasmos

Aliasmos pressed the number and waited for someone to come onto the intercom

''Hello'' said a man's voice

''It's me Als, you need to let me and Cronos up now''

''Oh shit'' he replied

The buzzer went off, allowing Aliasmos and Cronos up into the main apartment building, they went up two flights of stairs to see a short build man resting against the doorframe with his arms crossed

''I told you I wanted nothing to do with that life anymore'' he replied

''Griff, there are a thousand demons on the streets hunting for you as we speak''

''My name is Johnathon now''

''Ok Johnny'' said Aliasmos in a mocking fashion. ''When those demons, actually when I say those heavily armoured, demonic mercenaries find you do you think they'll believe that you've walked away from our old way of life, do you think they'll let your wife live. We heard their plan for you, now drop your magical barrier and get your arse moving now''

''John what's going on?'' asked a female voice as she approached the door

''Hi I'm Aliasmos, a friend of your husband's.''

''It's nice to finally meet you, Johnathon told me about his past with you''

''Really'' smiled Aliasmos as her head turned to face her ex husband's

''How many did you take down on your way here?''

''Ten, we kept to the shadows so we didn't draw any attention to ourselves'' interjected Cronos

''Were you serious about the mercs?''

''Yeah, we debated taking them out but I'm really not in the mood to end up in the infirmary again''

''I'll drop the shield but you better have a way to get us out of here fast''

''Forge did you hear that?'' asked Aliasmos

''Yeah loud and clear and Gaia already has a medkit on standby for your return''

''I love how well you all know me'' smiled Aliasmos

''Great just what I need'' hissed Griff

''Hey you always have it coming'' huffed Aliasmos

Griff paused for a moment then smiled, ''just like old times''

Griff took down the magical barrier, with Aliasmos standing by a window, where she noticed the scout groups all surrounding the building

''Forge it's now or I end up trying to die again'' she said as she spoke into her ear piece

''Get Donna to safety we'll take these bastards down now'' said Griff

''Cronos go back to base with Donna, I'll give your father a second pair of hands'' assured Aliasmos

''You'll risk everything by staying here'' Griff said

''The only person who has the right to kill you is me'' she hissed back

''Mum, Dad please this is not the time'' said Cronos trying to keep the peace

Aliasmos and Griff turned to face Cronos at the same time, both giving him the same look that he should back off

''Message received'', Cronos muttered then turned to face Donna and offered her his hand. ''My lady if you would be so kind as to give me your hand and I shall take you to safety'' Donna nodded allowing his parents to watch him teleport to safety. Griff turned away and took the lid off to window seat which revealed his old armour set and weapons.

Aliasmos whistled and her staff and celestial armour appeared on her from nowhere

''Here I thought you burnt that set''

''No, I could never get rid of these, how else will the demonic community know that I am a force to be reckoned with'' she smiled

Griff grabbed his shield and smashed the glass of the window, the pair then counted to three and jumped out of the window to face the forces that almost surrounded them.

''I'll take the ones on the left you take the ones on the right'' said Aliasmos as she twirled her separated staff in each hand

''Who gets the mercenaries then?'' asked Griff

''Whoever kills their side first'' smiled Aliasmos

''You're on'' replied Griff

Both of them charged their sides as their side charged them, the mercenaries stood back a little and watched their targets fighting, granted they may have been ordered to bring back the great general known as Gryphon Dark Moon alive, but bringing back Aliasmos Helena alive would mean one hell of a bonus and a bonus none of them wanted to say no to. However the group of mercenaries got very bored quite quickly and split into two groups leaving the leader of the force to stand back and watch the fight as he leaned on his large double headed axe. Aliasmos set up a ring of fire around herself forcing the demons to get themselves injured if they came too close for comfort as she was well aware the bounty on her head was greater than her ex husband's, even after this fight the bounty would still be higher. She could hear Griff fighting and ever now and again she would bark at him for getting to soft in his mortal life, it was clearly annoying him as she was coping far better in the battle than he was as her group of demons were falling to her flame covered weapons. Her stance was slightly broken from a gauntlet to her jaw, causing her to crash into the ground, she flipped herself upright and whistled for her staff once again as the Mercenary demons had decided that she was a far better target than her ex husband.

''Looks like my head is worth more than yours dear'' smiled Aliasmos as she addressed Griff

''Damn, here I thought I was the target'' shouted Griff as he beheaded another demon, while smashing two others in the face with his oversized shield

''You sound almost heartbroken'' smiled Aliasmos as she was blocking three swords

''And your sounding more bitter''

The pair were well aware they were making a point to wind up each other, as it allowed them to fight with more rage meaning their chances of surviving were far greater, even if Aliasmos was fighting more normal demons as well as the mercs leaving her ex-husband to struggle against the normal demons that held no real rank.

Aliasmos quickly realised their odds of surviving this weren't good

''Griff I need you to seriously piss me off right now'' she barked as she was currently keeping five mercs at bay

''Are you fucking crazy?'' he shouted as he was slowly backed into the same corner as her

Aliasmos was about to respond only to be punched in the side of her ribs, then kicked in the stomach, leaving a huge opening for Griff to be jumped by six demons.

''Griff, do it'' she murmured as the leader of the mercs picked her up by her throat

Griff closed his eyes and took a deep breathe, ''I don't regret what I did to you or our kids''

That was all she needed for Amber to be unleashed as flames erupted all over her body in an explosive fashion throwing the demons back and allowing Cronos the opportunity to teleport in to grab his father than blink out before more damage was caused

''I have to get back there'' barked Griff as he was being held down by Cathie and Cronos in order to be healed

''It's too damn dangerous'' shouted Forge

''This is your mother we're talking about here'' shouted Griff

''You think I don't know that, Amber is awake, which means you won't survive the encounter and right now your the one person we need to keep alive'' shouted Forge

''Forge calm the hell down, now get a live feed on what your mother is doing now'' shouted Cathie

''Sorry Gaia, I'm on it'' sighed Forge trying to keep his composure

Forge managed to get the live feed which showed a flame covered Aliasmos fighting bare handed against well over ten thousand demons. The group were in awe at the raw power she was displaying clearly holding nothing back.

''Shitting hell'' muttered Kai

''I had no idea, she could do that'' responded Sean

''Neither did I and I created her'' sighed Cathie

''What do you mean?'' asked Robin

''When my girls kill one of their sisters they absorb their powers, however instead of killing her sister Amber, Als merged their soul gems.'' replied Cathie

''That's not what I asked, what do you mean by created her?'' asked Nigel

''I created my girls from the elements from the earth combined with DNA from both myself and their father. I never actually gave birth to them''

''So your saying that in the section of the bible where it describes how God created man, it's actually referring to how you created your daughters?'' asked Donna

''Correct'' nodded Cathie

''Care to explain why doesn't she remember anything when Amber takes over?'' asked Kate

''Als knows just how dangerous she can be and suppresses everything that is Amber. When she loses her temper Amber wakes up'' sighed Cathie

Forge begun to frantically press buttons on his computer, then begun to swear

''What's wrong?'' asked Cathie

''We're so screwed'' sighed Forge as he ran his hands through his greasy hair

''WHAT'S GOING ON?'' barked Cathie

''They're working together''

''Oh shit'' sighed Cathie

''I'm a dead man'' cried Griff still pinned to the ground by Cronos

''How is this a bad thing?'' asked Kate with a smile on her face

''Because it means both of them have full access to each other's powers'' replied Griff, Cathie and Forge

''This is fucking brilliant'' laughed Kate

''How?''

''I saw what Amber did to a few male thugs back in Brazil, imagine what both of them could do to all the men here, apart from Forge'' she laughed

''So why does my eldest get special treatment?'' asked Griff

''Because I make and repair her weapons'' he replied

''Wait so I'm on that kill list as well?'' asked Cronos taking his hand away from his father

''Oh yeah'' smiled Forge

''What the hell'' he shouted

''What you did have this stupid idea at one point to make dad pay for what he did?'' argued Forge

''Oh yeah, I forgot about that'' smiled Cronos

''Well your mother did beat the crap out of you for that'' smiled Kate as she looked at the huge monitor to see what her best friend was doing

''I had that beating coming for a long time'' replied Cronos as he ran his hand through this black emo hair cut

''Hey you said it not me'' laughed Forge

''Boys concentrate'' barked Cathie

''We need a plan to get her out of there'' interjected Sean

''You don't have to tell me twice'' smiled Kai as he loaded his gun with a fresh magazine

''It's too risky'' barked Cathie

''Would that stop Als?'' asked Kai

Cathie couldn't help but stare at her son, she was well aware he was right, it wouldn't matter to Aliasmos how dangerous the situation is, she would walk through fire for her friends and family.

''Sean, get the Revelation is the air in five minutes, everyone else get your gear together, if your not here before Sean leaves your not leaving at all'' barked Cathie

''Hold on, it looks like I might be able to get a lock on her but she'll be on fire when she gets back'' said Forge

''Forge are you sure that's a good idea?'' barked Kathie as if she was actually asking a stupid question

''I'm sure, it looks like she's put a little distance between herself and the mercs so she should come back alone''

''How much distance are we talking about?'' asked Kathie

''Enough for very little chance of bringing a few of mums new friends with her'' said Forge as he seemed to be typing something on one of the computers

''How much will that make the bounty climb?'' asked Sean

''Not as much as you would think as they walked away from the fight, it would grow more if we kill all of them'' said Cronos

''Then lets get her out of there'' said Sean

''Agreed'' replied Cathie and Nigel

Forge and Nathaniel did all they could their end in order to make sure she came back, relatively unscarred and alone.

''I've got a lock'' shouted Forge

Everyone looked on at the pad and noticed smoke was quickly filling the room, Nate picked up a fire extinguisher and aimed it at the pad, with Nigel doing the same opposite him

''Fire in the hole'' shouted Forge as he grabbed the smaller fire extinguisher from under his desk and stood between the pad and everyone else.
