Grim and the royals began their march into the city after crossing the bridge. He didn't react to the sudden increase of the town or the towering skyscrapers, his interest in spotting, hopefully, a dark grey hood and sweatpants combo that his son wore. He could hear Jack's ooh's and aah's at the sight of the city.

"Come on, we must keep moving."

"Why don't we ask around, get information?"

Grim seemed to consider NJ's suggestion, but Mandy was already on the move to the nearest demon. Her demand for her children grew into impatience and she wasn't waiting for indecisiveness.

"You, have you seen a skeleton child walk this way with a dark grey hood?"

She had decided to pick a winged anthropomorphic demon with horns atop his head. His naked body, besides the cream coat and vest of a suit, was covered in red skin and his genitalia hung out in the open. Grim gagged.

"Nah, sorry, lady, but why would be searching for a skeleton boy when you should be searching for me."

Mandy raised a brow at his forwardness and Grim sighed as he realized this encounter would not lead them to Jr., nor end well for the ignorant demon before them.

"C'mon, let me give you what no other being, human or demon, can."

He made a grab for her, but didn't catch the glint in her eye. Grim, Jack, and NJ cringed as she ripped his arm from his bode and slapped his head with it. Impatience gave way to her normal rage.

She picked his writhing body up from the ground and smashed his face into the brick of the building they found him beside. He breathed quickly as she leaned in close.

"Have you seen a little girl with my blonde hair and in an old ballet outfit with a shoulder cover?"

"YES, I did! S-she was being carted through the street a little earlier this day. She was unconscious, b-but I know the men were Cthulu's soldiers! She should be at the tower at the end of the Dark Catalyst road!"

"Thank you and for some advice, try putting on some pants, no one wants see Vienna sausage on there way to work."

She dropped him and his horns and stalked, her rage calmed slightly by oulet. She had children to find and some flirty demon wasn't getting in her way, not enough for her damn time.

Grim came from behind apologetically.

"Sorry bout dat, de wife is a bit frisky."

Grim quickly repaired his arm before following after Mandy. NJ caught up with a snarl to the demon and Jack seemed to completely ignore him.

What a bunch of lunatics.

Alocer prided himself on his power. He commanded 36 legions, 216,000 soldiers at his disposal, under Lord Cthulu's say so, and made sure he was as his name implied; lion knight and strong duke. So imagine his surprise as strolled down a corridor to find a company of two Ornias demons, the young King of Fire, and a demon he had not before known before a time as this, all behind a boy of bones and sweats. A slight change in the norm, as was the power distribution of his lord that had come suddenly after events unknown to himself.

"What is this?"

"Move, you're in the way, man!"

"Are you speaking to me? Me, Alocer, the lion duke of the Nergal realm?"

"I don't have time for this. Just move and you won't get hurt."

"Me, little boy? I should think not, as seeing I have the actual experience and you have no weapon."

Jr. growled low in his throat. His irritation was becoming palpable to those behind him, so their fear for the one in front was founded.

"I think you should get out of the way. I don't want to kill you, all I want is to get my sister back but if you so happen to be a part of the object in my way, you will die and I will not look behind me as your blood spills on the walls."

Alocer seemed a bit miffed at being called out by this young spit of a boy and the demonic lion within roared at the challenge of his authority. It was HE that should be feared, not him fearing. And if he spoke truthfully, those eyes in that hood made him more than apprehensive.

"I see. Do realize I am more than enough. And even if you do get by me somehow, my lord will most likely dispose of you and your band of misfits, especially some outcast creation of Wrath."

Adram bristled at the insult and his hair flared to life as if it were fire itself.

"Take that back you son of a bitch!"

"What will you do? You do not have power, that is why you are too ashamed to go back to your father."

"That bastard is not a father, nor man…"

"End the talk. I will only ask once more, move or die!"

Jr. stared Alocer down hard, who had taken on a more joking manner and pulled his sword from the sheath on his knight's armor. He smiled to the boy and called him out.

"Okay, young one. If you want to get past me so bad, I will make it easy for you. If you manage to get one cut off of me, I will move aside for both you and the rest of your party. But if you can't, then I dispose of each and every one of you with a slice to the neck."

Jr. let his head loll around his neck before looking down and answering.

"Okay."

He would have heard protests from his companions had Alocer not come when he did. What happened next left them speechless.

Alocer moved fast for a cat man in suit of iron and metal, his face wrought with shear bestiality and wildness that left behind the gentleman they had been facing. His sword above his head, he was aiming for a straight cut down from Jr.'s temple to his pelvis.

Jr. dashed quickly behind him and from the back, summoned his scythe in mid swing as he arced a 180 from right to left. Alocer came down screaming in pain, his legs flying to the feet of Adram. Everyone, but the combatants looked down in awe.

Jr. slowly walked up to the down duke and rung him up form the floor by his exposed fur. He leaned in close to the demon's ear before he whispered the words that sealed Alocer's fate.

"Didn't I say move?"

Jr. leaped back and cut Alocer's head from his shoulder's, his scythe not dripping from blood at the speed Jr. had made with it.

Jr. didn't lose a step as he turned and began jogging away, calling back to the still stuck stupid demons in his group.

"Come on! I have a mate to save…"

He said the last part mostly to himself as he set his face, determined.

That's it for now.
