Danny was being forced to do what he almost always had to do, improvise.

He had no idea where the main reactor was, so what he had planned to do was go to the waste outlet, which was in his safety manual, and follow the pipes back to the source.

And just because it always seemed to turn out that way, he ended up running into the demons along the way. Two of them were stationed in the hall outside of the room and the last one, the one that was on the level of a low greater demon was stationed inside.

"Can't believe we're having to guard this rotten piece of filth." One of the two guarding demon grumbled. It looked like a large hairless chimpanzee with blue skin and long tail that ended in a pitch fork. It use sitting down on a chair that was made by stacking four of the human corpses on top of one and other in a horrible disregard for the dead, his long nailed claws digging into the peoples bodies causing smoked to be released as it burned their flash. Danny have to clench his fist hard enough to feel his nails digging into his skin, in order to drowned out the shouted of the just recently departed who demanded retribution. "Not to mention those dammed bugs. They're beneath us."

"Quiet brother." The other demon growled back. He looked nearly identical to the first only his skin was dark red. "I don't care how 'beneath us' this is. We do this one job and then we're free to kill as many humans as we want. I say it was worth a ride into Assiah. And besides..." He said with a grin as he lifted a woman whose faces was covered in the hideous cancer like boils from the rot demon's miasma. "... I did so love to see the agony on the faces of these pathetic humans as they died slowly from the impure brat's bacteria. Though I will enjoy when it is our turn and we can roast the pills of flesh alive." It said as it began to burn the woman's body.

It was to much for Danny. He didn't care if he was supposed to be bringing them in for questioning. He was going to send them back to Gehenna were they belonged.

"What the?" The red demon said as he noticed Danny standing there. "Hey look what we got here. I didn't think any of these human's was going to be producing a ghost for a while." The demon laughed, not terrible afraid as a newly born ghost has yet to stabilize itself and gain power. Two mid rank demons like them could easily take down such a ghost.

"And look at him, I didn't realize that there were children here. Must be from the elementary school next door." The blue demon joined his brother in mocking Danny. But Danny could hardly hear it. The cries for vengeance were too loud. But the blue demon stopped laughing as he noticed something. "Hey brother, is... is that an exorcist's jacket around that ghost's waist?"

"Huh?" The red demon said moments before Danny's spear was plunged into its body pinning it against the wall. The demon gave one gasp of surprise before its demon's heart lost its connection with its host, and the demon was replaced by a pill of coals.

"Brother!" The blue demon shouted in shock before Danny's hand wrapped around its throat and pinned it to the wall. Ice began to form around the fire demon's throat causing it to scream in pain.

"Tell me who you work for." Danny growled as demon tried to struggle against him.

"We... I..." The demon began to gasp as it looked into Danny's fiery green eyes. He seemed terrified, but then he just started to laugh. "Do what... whatever you want. The worst you can do is send me back. But the boss with end me if I tell."

Danny bared his teeth but then just snapped the demon's neck. The fire demon's body dispersed and it's vessel of what seemed to be chopped wood fell to the ground, clattering on the floor. Danny walked over to the woman's body which had been burned. Its dark brown eyes still holding the horror of being forced to rot, dying in a horribly painful manner and her bodies nerves overloaded from the pain of growing the boils all over her body.

Danny reached out one hand and closed the woman's eyes. "I am sorry." Danny mumbled. It was all he could think to say. Despite being an exorcist and a half demon, Danny considered himself a kin to an atheist. Not believing in any benevolent absolute power, nor that there was any heaven out there for those who kissed up to it. What gods he had seen with his own eyes were completely indistinguishable from demons. Made the boy believe that were truly was no different between angels and demons. Except that people don't try to hunt down angels.

'Please... hurry.' Something seemed to mumble back. Danny nodded and stood up to look at the room where the impure demon was hiding. It was time for Danny to finish this madness. But if he had thought the fire brothers had been sick, at least they had only been torturing the already dead.

The moment the door opened the miasma along with the smell of decay until he thought he was going to vomit. The room was disgusting, the walls were covered in hideous gray boils, as if the cancers cells that the rot demon brought about had grown out until they had covered the entire room, breaking open the barrels of radioactive waste in order to feed on the putrid slug.

Danny hovered off the ground, not wanting to touch any of it as he hovered through the room. He looked around, trying to figure out were the demons heart was so that he could seal it away, but something distracted him from this task. The sound of crying. Danny flew towards in and after rounding a stack of barrels he saw what it was and his stomach dropped.

In the corner was a small child, only around seven years old, with everything but his face was buried underneath layers of the rot. He was weeping, crying out in agony, but he was still alive. Danny could not hear the whispers of the departed coming from him. "It hurts... make... make it stop." He whimpered.

"Holy shit." Danny swear, his eyes widening at the sight.

The boy's eyes opened fully and Danny could see that one of them was pitch black with a green mark burned into the middle of it. It was the demon's heart. "Kami?" The child muttered as he looked at Danny. "Please Kami, make it stop. Please."

With the amount of miasma in the air, the boy would have died instantly, but instead he was being kept alive by the demon. Why? A rot demon didn't require a live human vessel in order to exist. So why would he keep the boy alive. Was it some kind of sick torture?

Danny flew towards the boy but the decay lashed out at him trying to keep him back, forcing the ghostboy to use a shield of green light to hold the rotten flesh off. Danny couldn't stop though, so keeping up the shield him moved forward up to the boy.

The damage was total. The childs body was completely gone. Even if he sealed the demon without hurting the child, the boy's organs were gone, he would die in seconds. Danny swallowed down on dread that was coming over him, as he realized he was going to have to be the one to snuff out the child's life. "Don't worry. It will be over soon." Danny said, trying to keep his voice calm. "Don't worry."

Once he was close enough he made a hole in the shield, and pushed a magic circle he had prepared over the boy's eye. Then in the language of the dead he began to chant. "I damn you." His voice was harsh and cold as he started the curse that would seal way the rot demon. "I burn your sins upon your skin; upon you flesh; upon your bones; upon your heart. I damn you. I curse your soul to roam within this world until the end of time. I damn you. You shall be punished for breaking your vows." The lines on the magic talisman glowed dark green and the boy gave a finally scream of pain and the demon's heart was pulled out of his eye-socket and was wrapped tightly inside of the paper.

Danny looked into the boy's remaining eye. The pain was gone. Death had taken him.

This was why demons were feared. This is why exorcists hunted them without mercy. This is why Danny had to fight. The ghostboy had to face it all as he looked down at the dead child's face, the body buried in decay.

But he still had a job to do. More lives were still at risk. He found the pipes for the radio active waste and followed it up to the main reactor.

It was hot, hot enough to cause Danny true pain and burn off most of his cloths. But the cold within him soon put out the reactor and the world went cold.

'How anticlimactic.' Danny couldn't help but think as he flew back out of the reactor. All worlds are hell. Danny had known that, but who would have thought that a one month vacation from it all could make it drive home all the harder.

Danny flew back and picked up the giant snake before using the infinity key to open himself a gateway back to Mephisto's office. The day's mission, had been completed.

Need to choose who Danny is going to fight in the forest will Rin is fighting the King of Earth. I'm thinking either Ondine a famous Undine(made up King of Water (would be a girl)) or Arghan a famous Ifrit(made up King of Fire (either gender really))

Suggestions are welcome. But don't just leave a name, add reasonings, or else I will probably just over look it because my demonology is rather rusty.

As for the guy behind the attack, Balder would be an interesting added boss. He would be the kind of guy to join the Illuminati, plus he would have serious beef with Luki, aka Samuel, aka Mephisto Pheles.

If you don't know who Balder is, that's because no one knows Norse Mythology beyond Loki, Odin and Thor.
