Rael and Mimi were currently locked inside of the prison level of the Huang state. Now normally this would be a appalling way to treat such honored guests as them, but these weren't normal circumstances. At the moment both individuals were fighting tooth and nail against the hoard of demonic monsters that had came pouring out of the sealed room that they had cracked open. Rael had mass produced his Nergal beasts and sent them out to match the monster hoard and Mimi was using a arsenal of mass produced hell fire swords to cut down as many of the creatures as possible. After a hard fought battle Rael had cut his way to the center of the hoard and located the source of all this trouble, a frail man his body wracked by centuries of inactivity. At once Rael picked him up by his neck and pressed one of his Nergal blades to it.
"Call of your pets or I rip out your throat!" Rael stated in a threatening tone of voice.
"I do not control them! They control me!" The man stated in a weak almost pathetic sounding voice.
"Then tell them or they die with you!" Rael explained tightening his grip around the frail man's head.
A few seconds after Rael's death threat all of the Demons suddenly looked surprised, they spun around and flew back to Rael and the frail man at a high speed, not to reenter their host, but to finish off Rael before he could make good on his threat. Unfortunately for them a two part telekinetic barrier appeared around them, one a funnel to force the demons back into the man's body, the other a barrier pushing them from behind, like a giant syringe. Following this Mimi used the man's own blood to tattoo a huge number of demon sealing symbols around his entire body.
"You shall all pay for this indignity!" The man shouted in a demonic voice before falling unconscious.
"Sure sure." Rael hoisted the man over his shoulder. "Come on, we got more stops to make." Rael stated while he deposited the demon possessed man into a Reaper portal. "We should get to the next one, a mages association is bound to have a few people that fit our needs." Rael stated with Mimi nodding her head. The two reaper portaled to the surface where they opened the book to double check their information.
There a man who looked like butler, complete with silver serving tray, walked up to them.
"Mister Black, there is a call for you." The Butler removed the lid on the tray revealing a blue tooth head phone. "We assumed that you would want to take the call in private." Rael picked up the head phone, but he had no idea of what to do with it. "I believe that it goes in your ear, Mister Black." At this Mimi picked up the phone and shoved it into the un-burned side of Rael's face directly into his ear hole.
"Thanks Mimi." Rael said holding his now sore ear.
"Mimi is there too? No that doesn't master right now. Young master the 'Demon Reaper' has resurfaced." Lord Pain explained from the other end of the phone.
"Where?" Rael asked in a serious tone of voice.
"It would seem that he's taken advantage of your fragmented nature to divide himself up. Los Angeles, Detroit and New York. There has been an additional development, he's drawing his strength from Negatively charged Ectoplasm or 'Blacks Slime.'" Lord Pain explained.
"We'll need Deshiko to handle one of the sites. Minnie too. I'll see if I can find someone here and send them out too." Rael said keeping a eye on the butler.
"It may interest you to know that young Mistress Minnie is in New York with the Greed Fragment and Charon. Deshiko is in Los Angeles with Dan and the Wrath fragment." Pain stated in his dead even tone of voice.
"Got it. I'll call you with more information soon." Rael ripped out the device from his ear before facing the butler.
"Is there a matter that I can help you with Mister Black?" The butler asked in his ever polite tone of voice.
"I need someone who knows Ki Manipulation. Got anyone in mind?" Rael asked while he handed over the bloodied head phone.
"Well you came to the right place." Mimi and Rael turned around to face Fang Fang who was sitting in a chair on the other side of the room. "Grandpa Touhai has mastered both Senjutsu and Necromancy and taught those skills to me and my sister respectively."
"Sorry already got a Necromancer." Suddenly Rael held out his hand and scooped up an unwilling Fang Fang with a Reaper portal. "Mimi, I'm gonna have to ask that you go through the rest of the list by yourself. I'm gonna go and back up Minnie." Rael asked giving Mimi the book.
Suddenly Mimi held Rael by his cheek and forced him to look her in the eye, relaying what she wanted to say through neither telepathy or words.
"Fight Rael! Go fight for your family!"
"And that's why I love you!" Rael kissed Mimi on her forehead before he ran off through a Reaper portal.
Rael arrived at the top of a ruined sky scraper and overlooked the horizon at the ruined city of New York. A quick use of the echo pulse pin pointed the exact location of Minnie.
"So this tis what thou art up to Charon?" Minnie was sitting cross legged on a abandoned car across from Charon as he had the conversation with Az.
"I don't see what the matter is. All that I'm doing is giving a lesson on proper necromancy." Charon stated, his amused grin creasing his features like always.
"Thou overstep thine boundaries former Grim Reaper!" Minnie stated spitting the last portion in distaste.
"I'm overstepping my boundaries?" That earned a good laugh from Charon. "Oh young lady have you not met anyone from your family?"
"Run along now dear sister. These matters does not concern you!" Az stated shooing Minnie away with his hand. "And yet I hath business here none the less. But the two of thou shall be far too busy to get in mine way!" Minnie stated while she shot the two a knowing grin.
Suddenly something crashed down onto the ground separating both Charon and Az from each other.
"Minnie, don't you have somewhere to be?" Rael asked as he got up from the ground, having stuck the landing perfectly.
"But of course dear brother. But doth do me a favor, and don't waste too much time playing with thine self." Minnie stated before she grew a pair of wings and flew off into the air.
"Charon." Rael spat distastefully, making it clear that he no longer had any patience for his biological father. "Get out of my way!" Rael growled his voice of someone who was at his limit for the unexpected for one afternoon.
"Feeling tired are we son?" Charon asked with a undertone of a chuckle in his voice.
"Out!" Rael snapped turning back into the form of a Nergal Demon.
Charon's face shifted to somber and serious, a Reaper portal opened up beneath his feet and he disappeared through it.
"Now now, that wasn't a very nice thing to say to our old man." Rael turned around to face Az who was already forming two more reaper portals. "Then again, this isn't either!"
In Los Angeles Dan threw his opponent, a flame coated Rage fragment, through several of the crumbling buildings. Keeping track of the trail of destruction Dan noted that it suddenly stopped at around the Tenth building.
"Hmm. Must've not thrown him as hard as I thought." Dan flew over to the aforementioned building and looked around inside seeing no sign of his opponent. "Hey where did he go!" Dan asked and he confusedly looked around.
"Gone." Fang Fang stated while he sat on top of the next building over. "Fang Fang Huang at your service."
"Well where did he go!?" Dan asked in a highly irritated tone of voice, uncaring about the young man's sudden appearance.
"In consequential. Our priority is clearing the Black Slime from this place." Fang Fang explained while he pointed downwards.
"Yours, not mine. Can you open a portal to get me out of here at the least?" Dan asked growing increasingly irritated.
"No. Nor would I if I could, I need somebody to keep those off of me while I'm trying to work." Fang Fang stated, pointing out the pterodactyls that were formerly cars flying at them.
"Oh please!" Dan fired at the vehicles in question with a set of finger guns, destroying all of the incoming Dino-car's with one shot each. "If wanted to do target practice I would go back to civilization where I can at least get some fun out of scaring the shit out of the locals!" Dan stated while he blew smoke off of his fingers.
"True, but do you have anything better to do?" Deshiko asked cocking a brow at Dan.
"'Do you have anything better to do?'" Dan mumbled in a sarcastic manner while he flew off to hunt for more Dino cars.
Nergal Junior was starting to get tired, after all he could not be expected to fend off wave after wave of Echoes without any foreseeable end in sight.
"On top of that I've lost track of the disgraceful little mutt!" Nergal Junior stated while he fired a huge laser blast out of his pompadour turned gun.
"In coming!" Suddenly a huge white colored energy beam came out of the sky and wiped out a large portion of the echoes. The culprit responsible fell out of the sky and landed next to Nergal Junior with a crash. "You look like you can use some assistance." Deshiko grabbed Nergal by his shoulder, immediately it became apparent that he was re-energize in terms of mind, body, and demonic power. "I've used my own Ki reserves to restore your stamina and demonic power. So hold those things off while I attempt to dispel this cursed garbage." Deshiko ordered while she ran off down town.
"What about the acid spewer!" Nergal Junior shouted while he primed his guns.
"Already ran off! Or did you not notice the absence of clouds of acid!?" Deshiko shouted back not stopping to talk to the demon Shape Shifter.
"Lovely. Fire in the hole!" Nergal mumbled before he fired on the hoard of Echoes with his guns.
Back in New York Rael and Az were having a standoff with one another.
"You're too late! All of your little cesspools are being turned to ashes as we speak." Rael growled while he produced his scythe a Nergaling scythe.
"HEHEHEHEHEHEHE!" Az's replied of laughter caught Rael off guard as both of the two renegade soul fragments came through the reaper portals. "You got that backwards! You're too late to stop me! I have what I want!" Holding out both of his arms Az absorbed both of his two soul Fragments, in the process transforming into his true demonic form. "Enough bad mojo to make a body that's gonna last forever now lets do this thing!"
On that note a huge red colored wrecking ball slammed down on Az, splattering him on the road. Rael looked up and saw the culprit responsible, Mimi and her ever infamous wrecking ball.
"Good to see you again Mimi." Rael stated with a smile on his desiccated features. The only acknowledgement that Mimi had even heard Rael was her signature communication type glare with Rael. "Understood, I'll keep him busy for as long as I can." The two nodding in agreement Mimi flew off leaving Rael to face Az alone.
