Spawn: White Lotus
Chapter 2: Working Together
There is more than one of my kind protecting the border between Heaven and Hell. Contrary to what some might think, we angels are not perfect. Sometimes a few demons will slip through. It doesn't mean they will escape me. This time around, a few demons in human disguises broke down the door of an old boardinghouse. I was paying them no mind
"You're a hard one to track down" said a disguised demon with a poisonous purr in his voice. These guys caught me with my pants down, which is saying that they caught me in my 'human form'. It's all I'll need to deal with them, "now be a good lil' pigeon, and put your hands up, Malebolgia wants a 'talk'," do the imps really think they'll keep their word
'Talk' probably means they want to kill me, and send me to Malebolgia for all the demons I've slain. I slowly put my hands up as four of these little imps were in the boarded-up room. Demons don't use cuffs, they got 'irons'. When they're on you, there's no taking them off unless by Malebolgia or another powerful demon like Mammon. I slowly stood up
With my hands behind my head, I closed my eyes, and heard the metallic clatter of the irons. I opened my brown eyes, and was ready to defend myself. As he approached me, I got inside his guard, and managed to put the demon in his own 'irons'. With a jumping Crane Kick, I sent him into a wall, but not before I struck him in the forehead with a blade
The blade killed him, and the man behind him. I spun my second blade by the pommel, and with a 'Hai!' and a kick, I sent it flying into another skull to slay him. Even demons use guns, I ran across a wall to evade the bullets from a Glock 17. I landed with my weight on my left leg as I face him, and got inside his guard to make him shoot his own man
Finally with my second blade, I struck him in the right eye and did a rising back kick to push it in further. With my work done, all that was left was a pile of ashes. I picked up my blades which look just like Caucasian 'Kindjal' Daggers. They each fit into two bracers hidden under the sleeves of my jacket. I always keep my jacket unzipped. It is comfortable
"Aw, shoot," I said quietly to myself
'Not good...really bad' I thought to myself,
Demons that escape from the 'Pits' are like mice or roaches. You find maybe one or two of them, there are probably more of them, a lot more. I soon started to hear even more footsteps behind the door. This is one of those times I hate to be right. Unlike some among the ranks of angels, I'm not afraid to ask for help. That is why I'm helping out Spawn
"Not bad, rookie," said Spawn
It's telekinetic communication "Thanks"
"Don't let it get to you" he snarled
"I still don't like this," he reminded me
'Here's what we're going to do, you got more coming after you, you're going to act as bait for them, and give them a chase, and you lead them to me, I'm at the boardinghouse at the alleyway where we talked, you got this' said Spawn into my mind, with that I bolted out of the room to see more of these guys, now in their demon forms, waiting for me.
Once their eyes were on me, I turned and ran in the other direction down the hall and climbed up a fire escape. I got to the roof, and ran as fast as I can. These demons gave chase behind me. I leaped over an alleyway, and so did they. It seemed like nothing was going to stop them, as my boots clamored against the metal of a tin roof as I ran for it.
I heard a pistol being fired behind me. Heavy caliber rounds from the sound of them hitting the brick wall, and they nearly missed the back of my head. I ran, and leaped over a two lane street like I was running on air. I landed on my feet into a forward roll, and ran off. Instead of leaping, they unfolded their wings to fly over, and they hovered in the air.
"Stay close, and keep your eyes open, that little angel didn't get far," he ordered to the other demons as they folded their wings back. I looked back quickly from the behind the safety of a wall. I was breathing heavily, and I noticed Spawn's essence was nearby. It's an ambush for these escaped demons. I had to think quickly as they were coming closer
Seeing an opportunity, I ran as fast as I could toward the ledge, "There she is! Get her!" said a demon, and gave chase to me. As I got to the edge, I leaped forward and made a mid-air body rotation. At the same time, Spawn came up from the alleyway to face them with chains and bullets. I landed hands first in a backflip tuck with a full twisting layout.
In the middle of the tuck, I saw two demons, and launched my daggers at them to mix in with the barrage of automatic weapons from Spawn's guns, and hit two demons square in the heart, and they faded into ash while those that faced Spawn turned into charcoaled ambers ,"You've got skills," Spawn said, whisking his lengthy crimson cape behind him
"That's the nicest thing you've ever said"
"Shut up," he grunted as he walked away
I smirked a bit, "And that's the second nicest"
