"It's good to see you again Kari, how've you been?" asked Lucia as she stood next to Matier.
"Better than ever now that I've got Dad back." replied Karil
"Yes, I'd heard zat ze son of Sparda was back. It would be nice to see him again, but I fear it may be a few days before I can."
"Yeah, the second he got back-"
"Ladies, can we finish the banter later, we have a horde of demons out there, and I'd like to get this done and go home...please." said Alec, interupting both Karil and Lucia.
"Alright, alright, Pushy. Now, how do you suggest we go about facing these demons?" asked Karil.
"I believe I have ze anzwer you seek, son of Angelus. We have recently found two new weapons down in these catacombs, and I believe that they will be very useful. As you have probably sensed, these are not ordinary demons, these are those that have been merged with some different power and are much stronger than the average one's of their form. Zo I zuggest you take these weapons and use them well." said Matier in her thick french accent.
"Alright, so...where are they?" asked Alec.
"In here." Replied Lucia
Karil and Alec both looked over and spotted a giant steel double-door leading to an old area of the catacombs. As they entered they could see two small columns, each one had a different weapons levitating within each column. One was a rather large hammer. It was a brown color and looked to have four purple dots reaching from the flat end to the curved back. It had spikes going from the top of the back to the front, and had four curved spikes coming out and curving on the flat end of it. The other was a long sword, a very simple one. It was wide, and had a red area in the middle that led from the wrist guard to about 7\8ths of the way toward the top of the sword. Finally, it had a small metal curve reaching from the bottom of the sword toward the wrist-guard.
"Both weapons are meant for a zertain person. You will both need to pick your own weapons and there, only the right wielder will be able to unlock the weapons potential. Each of you must go at the same time, now choose." said Matier.
Both Karil and Alec nodded at each other then began to walk forward. Alec toward the hammer, and Karil toward the sword, but half-way through they switched. Alec grabbed the sword, and Karil the hammer.
"We are the weapons of Caim. We have existed since the B.C era and have been waiting for our respective wielders. If you can pass this test then we shall lend our powers to you." said a voice inside both of their minds at the same time.
At that moment Karil felt an unreal energy course through her body. It reminded her somewhat of the time that she touched Alec's sword. This time, though, it was different. It felt evil, malevolent, and blood thirsty. It changed her.
Once the energy had dissipated, Karil was no longer there. Literally, it seemed as if she had teleported right out into the center of the demons.
"Holy shit that was…… Karil? asked Alec.
"She's gone. I zink she went outside again, but I don't think she is herself." said Lucia.
"Okay…..but what happened. Something seemed different about her, didn't it?"
"Yes, you had better go out and zee." said Matier.
Outside of Matier and Lucia's home
Karil was there. In the center of the demons, yet she wasn't as well. The hammer had possessed her. It had awakened the latent bloodlust and primal side of her. Her Demonic half had taken over and was coming out full force.
"Alright, which one of you bastards wants to die first!" she shouted into the demons.
The demons leaned forward and roared, or more screeched, at her, then began to advance.
The first fell face first into the ground as the hammer pounded down into it. It looked like it had become flat, much like a cartoon character when he is hit with an anvil. The next flew forward, only to fly back as the hammer flew in an arc sideways and slammed into it. However, it did not stop there, she continued to turn in a circle and bring down one demon after another. Her hammer began to move so fast that it began to cut the demons instead of just smashing them. A few of her smashes cut demons in half vertically. She was possessed by power, and she wasn't letting it go to waste.
She could feel the energy from the hammer as she slammed it onto the ground. All around a 20 feet radius small lava currents opened up and swallowed up anything within that area. She was drunk upon her power. It was like a cocaine addiction she couldn't get down from. And she didn't want to.
As she was about to place about another twenty demons back into hell a sword flew out of nowhere and, in a Round-Trip move, slashed more than her targeted amount of demons. She turned around to see Alec walking toward her, his hands outstretched in the after form of his sword throwing. From what Karil could see, he had tapped into his primitive side as well. His pupils had contracted into near-cat like slits now. And his eyes flashed with a type of dark gold, as if the amber had been combined with the black.
The sword came back from above her and nearly removed her head from her body. To say she was pissed would be the least.
'This bastard, how dare he. How dare he come right into the middle of my fight and take away my prey, this man shall pay dearly.' thought Karil.
The demons had been forgotten, well mostly. There were so few left that it really didn't matter for the last few could be eliminated by Lucia, who did just that.
"You, how dare you impede upon my hunt, boy, who do you think you are?" asked Karil. Her voice changed now. It was evil, with a bit of roughness, but it was a velvet one as well.
"I'm bringing you down before you do something stupid." stated Alec, matter-of-factly.
"Try me, half-breed."
He didn't reply. Only disappeared, only to reappear behind Karil, and she only had a moment to react and block his sword before it sliced her in half.
"As I said, I will beat you, and I will keep you from doing something you'll regret later." said Alec once more.
A\N: Okay, I decided to end there for the sake of updating, but, depending on reviews, I want to know. Do you want me to A) Change this in a few days and upload a battle, or B) Make the next chapter an entire battle scene and get as much detail as I can put into there and hopefully get a good chapter?
Tell me in the reviews what you think.
3\6: Okay, I re-did this chapter with a bit more battling in it. I hope it isn't too bad. But I think I've lost my view for battles, it may be, however, that I haven't thought of this story much. But I should be able to get a good one going next time.
