Lady dusted herself off after she recovered from her falling trip. "Me and my big mouth. Dante's not going to let this go anytime soon." She looked around; she landed in some type of corridor. "Roszen! Dante!" She cupped her hands around her mouth. "Anybody here!?"
No answer.
"Damnit..." Her shoulders dropped slightly. "Well no use standing around." She jogged forward.
The time she spent moving was quiet for a few minutes, but eventually she heard something. Slowing down and taking cover behind a rock, she saw the corridor end in a small room. Within it was a disturbing sight. Women, young and old, were hooked up to tables with their blood being drained. "Please no more..." one of them pleaded.
"Oh, my dear, you still got five more minutes!" A wicked vice chuckled as it came into view. The demon looked like a demonic plague doctor. He had a bone white beak face, eyes filled with a strange hunger, and a bald head. He was dressed up in a black robe as he towered over the woman and had sharp elongated claws for hands, which he used to stroke the woman's face. "Besides, your blood type is very rare and potent; we'll take as much as we can before you inevitably die!" He let out a mad laugh when suddenly his head exploded with a gunshot. His body fell to the floor dead.
Lady stood from her cover with a pistol drawn. "I hate the nasty perverted ones." She quickly moved to the woman. "Don't worry, I'll get out." She started fiddling with the straps and devices connected to the woman.
"...Thank... you..." she said with the last of her breath.
Lady stopped and saw that the life from the woman had left her. Lady looked around and saw the same with the others. "Damnit..."
"Damnit indeed," a voice called out suddenly. Lady froze as she slowly turned to where the voice came from. The demon she shot dead slowly got back up clutching his regrown head. "It's a shame I had to use all of their remaining blood for this, hopefully the Lord will understand." He stopped his loud murmuring when he got a good look at Lady. "Oh well now." He clasped his hands together and slowly stalked towards her. "If I give the Lord you, I'm pretty sure he'll forgive me for this blunder-" Pain rang through his shoulder as Lady shot him again. "FUCK!"
"Not going to happen." She readied more of her weaponry.
"They never want to come willingly..." The bullet popped out of his shoulder as it healed. "No matter, I'll be able to enjoy hearing you scream!" He disappeared into mist as he rushed at her.
Lady dove to the floor as invisible claws skimmed passed her head. She quickly pulled out her shotgun from her mid-back and fired behind her. She smirked as she heard an audible grunt from the doctor demon. Without wasting a moment, Lady pulled out her bayoneted rocket launcher, the Kalina Ann, and swiped at the demon with the bayonet. The doctor rematerialized and blocked the blow, staggering back. "You're going to a tough cookie to break."
Lady responded by pulling out a machine pistol and opened fire, until she ran empty; she then jumped back and reloaded.
The Doctor screamed in frustration as he healed the damage. "Would you stop shooting me!?" He may be hard to kill, but it didn't mean it didn't hurt!
"Alright then." Lady pulled out Kalina Ann again. "Let's see if you can survive this!" A missile fired and hit the Doctor before he could say another word. A white hot explosion filled the room. When the light died down the Doctor was nothing but a pair of legs. "Good riddance. One less problem to deal with." She walked out of the room with purpose.
Lady continued walking through this bizarre place. "Would have definitely preferred a church instead of this hell hole." She thought back to the women she couldn't save, smashing a fist into a wall. "Damnit..." She fixed her glove and took a few deep breaths. "At least none of them were Briallan; Roszen would probably be devastated..."
Lady stopped again when she heard something, it was a voice speaking to someone else. "I just hope they'll be ok..." the voice said as Lady picked up the pace. The voice was coming from around the corner; she pulled out her pistol and jumped around the corner, pointing her pistol at the owner.
"Well that's just rude," Roszen said as Lady pointed a gun to her head. Krex had a finger up, looking like he was trying to say something.
"Sorry about that," Lady apologized quickly as she pulled her gun back. "I didn't recognize your voice."
Roszen casually put her hands behind her head. "Well to be fair, we've only known each other for a day or two at most."
"Yeah I guess." Lady holstered her pistol. "So where did you land?"
"Just outside of the prisons, killed the warden and got a Devil Arm."
"She also made a new friend, Miss Akko," Krex added in.
"What about you?" Roszen asked.
"I just got out of what appeared to be the torture chambers; killed the pervert running it."
Roszen nodded her head before walking forward. "Come on, lest fine Dante."
"It's Dante; he'll be fine," Lady said as she caught up.
The three of them walked in silence for a good while when they finally entered a large room that looked to be a coliseum of sorts. "If this doesn't say boss room I don't know what will." Roszen let out a whistle.
"You looking for a fight, Rose?" Lady pulled out her guns just in case.
"Maybe."
"You sound a little bit like Dante."
"Right..." Krex stayed silent and just watched the two ladies banter.
"Ah ha! There you are, you little bitch!" A new voice echoed across the room. "You should have double checked after you fired a ROCKET AT ME!"
"Ah shit..." Lady cursed, recognizing who it was.
"And I see you got yourself a few friends!" The Doctor started to cackle. "So have I. Shula, play time!"
Flames jetted out in the middle of the room, twisting into a tornado of fire of different colors, reaching to the ceiling. The fire died down as a figure appeared from the tornado. It was a large bengal tiger with fire, of many more colors, dancing across its body. A long bladed tail swatted away any stray flames and piercing blue eyes stared into the souls of its victims.
Shula let out a mighty roar at the three. "Double shit," Roszen said.
