Action packed goodness at last!
Because this was such a huge issue and the demons whereabouts were unknown, all the heroes worked together in a combined effort to search. Of course, Shadow decided he was going to separate from the group and once again be a lone anti-hero. Out of them all, he was the only one who planned to kill them once they were found. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and even Rouge were all working as a team. Espio, Vector, and Charmy acted like informers. It had been two weeks since they last knew that the demons escaped. Nothing had happened, but it was a deadly waiting game. The city kept up its security forces as they continuously searched every home, business, and sewer tunnel one by one. Although something else happened that was unexpected one day...
Sonic was running through the streets when suddenly, police sirens went off and zoomed down the street. Wondering if they had found the two, he called up the others and was prepared for a fight. The heroes all met outside of a strip club and were all wondering why of all places here?
"A strip club Sonic?" Espio asked, getting his ninja stars ready for the fight.
"Hey maybe they like fun too." Vector said as he slipped some money back into his pockets.
"Really Vector?" Espio asked as he saw the cash popping out of his pockets.
"Really what, Espio?"
Espio shook his head and watched as Charmy hid behind him, still unsure about why he was needed here. Shadow was seen standing on top of the building waiting to unleash hell. October and Winter could be seen in the background as they sleepily looked at the building where their parents are supposed to be in. Then they heard an unfamiliar man's voice inside yelling.
"What kind of place are you running here?! I can't touch the women...! What bullshit!"
They looked at each other. Who was this? Certainly not Mephiles...
Screams were heard inside as blood splattered across the windows. The heroes ran inside to find something none of them expected. A portal, assumingly from the Flame Core, was open in the middle of the strip club. The women were huddled into corners, ducking away from the flying body parts of the club's security guards.
A faded pink-crystal porcupine stood with his back to the heroes, shaking the club owner fiercely.
"You think you can treat a prince, nay, the eldest prince like this? I'm a VIP and I get this shit!"
"Please sir! I beg of you let me go!" The owner said as suddenly, a long razor like chain slashed into him.
"You don't get a second chance." The angered porcupine said as he dropped the man to the floor. He turned around slowly when he felt that he was no longer alone. He wore a ruffled almost Victorian like garb. His hot pink, serpentine eyes met with Sonics. "Oh, hello.."
The group took a collective step back. Another demon..? This was getting out of hand.
"Who might you be?" Sonic and Shadow said together.
"Me? Oh right you mortals have no clue." He said as his mouthless muzzle moved up and down. "My name is Arrion. Arrion the Lustful. Who are you delicious morsels?"
"Sonic and Shadow the Hedgehog." Sonic said as he curled his hand into a fist.
"Actually, I'm Shadow the Ultimate Life form." Shadow corrected Sonic as he shot him a look.
"Oh your something all right.." Arrion dragged on as he looked the boys up and down. "Why don't you give me a back view?"
They were petrified. He was... hitting on them?
"No. Why don't you go back to hell." Shadow replied with spite.
Arrion tsked.
"Why don't you join me? I do need new play things."
Shadow turned red as he was ready to use a chaos blast. He was stopped suddenly when the razor chain was whipped around his neck.
"Oh yes do fight. It makes me so..." Arrion continued as he whispered into Shadow's ear what he felt.
Shadow was repulsed by this dirty talking creature. Arrion jumped out of the building, away from the heroes as soon as he licked Shadow's neck. Shadow relentlessly threw chaos spears in the air where Arrion had just been. He growled darkly as he cussed every word in the book. The heroes were left speechless.
(At the apartment)
Mephiles roughly tugged on Iris' arm.
"Hey, get your ass up and look at this." He said as he picked her up and threw her on the couch.
"What the fuck, Mephiles.." She went on as she rubbed her eyes in anger. Then grew wide eyed as she stared at the TV. "Wait... seriously what?"
It showed the pink demon from earlier that was angrily yelling and throwing people around.
"I'm the eldest prince! How dare you treat me with disrespect, mortal!" The words escaped the demon's mouth as if he was entitled to every one of the ladies before him.
Iris stared at the tv in disbelief. "No.. they escaped..? But.. the portal was guarded by mother herself.."
"I'm guessing you know him them." Mephiles said as he stared at the demon in more anger than awe.
"I know him alright." Iris sighed. "He's my brother. One of six, to be exact."
