CHAPTER 14
BETRAYAL
Deminse slammed his fist down on his desk, "Ker is doing what!"
"That's right bro, Ker has join forces with the enemy", Baz said. "What are we going to do?"
He laughed evilly, "Nothing."
"What?"
"You and the rest of the demons kill that hedgehog while I take care of Ker."
"Of course, brother", he began to walk out of the door until Deminse called him back.
"And Baz..."
The black haired demon faced him.
"Give Ker the message for me will yea."
Baz continued to walk out the door.
Later at Rouge's house, Spike was at the kitchen table looking at the next demon that they would have to fight. He saw a black haired demon, wearing a black cloak, with a black jewel in his necklace, and an electrical whip in his hands. "His name is Baz and he looks like a torture device."
"Baz?" Rouge repeated.
"Yeah the fifth of the fourteen demons. I guess he's next."
Shadow came in the kitchen with a glass of water in his hand, "Baz huh? I wouldn't play around with that demon. Espio had a time with him remember, Rouge?"
The bat nodded, "Yeah, I just hope he'll be a lot more easier to defeat than last time."
Meanwhile at Espio's house, Lynn walked downstairs and was shocked to see who was sitting at the kitchen table eating pancakes. She crossed her arms and stomped the rest of the way downstairs. She saw Espio talking to Tonya until she interrupted them, "Mom, dad! What's this motherfucker doing eating at the table!"
Tonya glared at her daughter, "Lynn, watch your potty mouth!"
"I don't care! What's he doing here at the table!" She looked over and pointed at Ker. She didn't completely trust Ker ever since he joined with them to stop the fourteen demons.
The demon smiled at Tonya, "This is good. What are these called again?"
Espio let out a laugh, "Pancakes."
Ker ate another mouthful of the pancakes, "I love these pancakes! They're delicious! I may even like them more than blood."
Lynn got curious when he mentioned blood, "You mean you and the rest of the demons drink... blood?"
Ker nodded, "Yeah, but I'm going to quit on blood now it's pancakes all the way."
Lynn smiled and soon she couldn't help but to laugh.
Tonya smiled and turned to Espio, "He kinda reminds me of a baby."
"Yeah an evil baby with laser beams shooting out of his eyes." He stared at Ker laughing with Lynn, 'Something tells me that he'll help us a lot.'
Later on the streets of Tech City, Baz was walking around with a bloody whip in his hand. He watched as police cars surrounded him.
The cops got out of the cars and pointed their guns at him.
The demon made an evil smile, "Pathetic mortals."
"Drop your weapon!" One cop ordered while having a firm grip on his gun.
The demon raised his whip in the air, "I don't take orders from weak bastards such as you." His whip had blue electricity going through it. The whip struck down and snatched the gun out of one of the police officer's hand. The gun landed in his hand and tightened it in his grip and soon the gun smashed into pieces and fell on the ground.
The police officer started to panic, "Shoot that freak!"
The rest of the cops started to shoot the demon.
Baz stood there and let the bullets hit him. Even though he was bleeding, it seemed to have no effect on him. He finally got tired of them shooting at him. He raised his whip in the air, "That's enough", he said in a deep voice. His began to swing around his electrical whip around electrocuting every cop around him killing them instantly. Afterwards he stared at the bloody corpses of cops around him. He laughed deeply, "These worthless beings don't have a chance against us. Do they not understand that? No matter soon they will all die."
Later at Espio's house, Ker was asleep on the sofa in the living room until something he sensed woke him up. His eyes widened, "Baz!" He shouted.
Lynn came into the room eating a candy bar and heard Ker shout, "What's wrong, Ker?"
He ran towards her and started to shake her, "Quickly! Where is your mother and father!"
"They're upstairs", she said confused by Ker's actions. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
Ker let go of her, "My brother is out in the city. I just know it. I can feel it." He looked into Lynn's yellow eyes, "Tell your parents that I'll be in the city looking for Baz."
"But what if you get hurt?"
"I'm...willing to take that risk. I...want to do the right thing."
Lynn nodded, "I'll tell them." She ran over and hugged him, "Be careful okay?"
The demon made a warm smile, "I will." He ran out of the door.
Soon Ker made it into the city finding Shadow, Spike, and Rouge fighting Baz. "Shadow!" He shouted.
The black hedgehog faced him, "Ker, what are you doing here?"
Ker ran over to them, "I sensed a demon and I figured it was Baz."
The black haired demon laughed, "Well little brother you found me. Now what are you going to do you traitor. Kill me? Your own brother?" He looked around Ker's neck and didn't see his necklace with the white jewel in it. He gritted his teeth, "You got rid of your necklace! You truly are one of them!" His anger soon faded. Now an evil smirk had appeared on his face, "By the way little brother, Deminse wanted to send you a little message."
"A...message?" Ker asked nervously.
Baz nodded, "Yes a very important message." He took out his bloody whip.
Spike looked over to Ker, "Watch it, Ker!"
Ker knew that Baz would torture him with his whip like he usually did, but somehow Ker decided to stand there and take the painful torture.
Baz walked closer to Ker while tightening his grip around his weapon, "You're going to pay for betraying us little brother." He raised his whip and struck down on Ker's back.
Ker fell to the ground yelling in pain.
Rouge shook Shadow, "You have to help him!"
Before Shadow could save Ker, a shuriken star appeared out of nowhere and struck into Baz's shoulder causing him to drop his whip on the ground.
Baz quickly took out the shuriken star from his shoulder and turned around glaring at a purple chameleon with a purple cat, and pink cat, "You!"
Ker looked from the ground with tears in his eyes facing the purple chameleon, "E-Espio", he said in a weak voice.
He took the bloody shuriken star and threw it at Espio.
Espio took a handgun and shot the bullet at the weapon blocking it.
Baz just got madder by his actions, "You bastards are really irking my nerves!" He picked his whip off the ground and struck at Espio's arm with it wrapping around it. He made an evil smirk, "Got yea", he said in a low tone.
Ker's eyes widened as he tried to get off the ground, "Espio!"
Then electricity came from the whip and struck Espio.
He yelled in pain as the electrical shock went throughout his body.
Lynn gasped, "Dad!"
Shadow couldn't stand by anymore and watch this happen to Espio. He clenched his fists, "Baz!" All of a sudden his hands glowed a yellow color, "Chaos Spear!" A yellow light came from his hands and struck through Baz's back.
Blood had risen from his stomach and it had even appeared out of his mouth. He dropped his whip to the ground as well as releasing Espio from his grip.
Espio fell to the ground breathing heavily.
Lynn and Tonya ran over to him with tears.
The black haired demon turned to Shadow and started to laugh, "You think you can defeat the fourteen demons again?" He laughed once more while he was slowly approaching Shadow, "You will all die once Deminse gets through with all of you. You have no chance." He looked over to Ker that was still laying on the ground with whip marks all over his body, "The same goes for you, Ker." Baz then fell to the ground not breathing anymore.
Ker finally had the strength to get off the ground. He ran over to Espio with sadness, "Are you okay?"
Espio nodded slightly and then slowly fell unconscious.
Ker kneeled down to Espio and hugged him, "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" He cried, "I wish I was stronger! I wish...I was there to help you, but I..." He continued to cry and was unable to finish his sentence.
N/A: Okay this is just a heads up that a lemon will be in the next chapter. I'm warning you I think I improved a bit from my other past lemons. Just a little warning.
