Mal Pov:

"This is so messed up, here I am walking across a land which resides only on being the most dangerous as well not to be screwed with a bat who was once a former god, and me wielding a guitar which is obviously holds a lot of magic in it. From how it feel's, its like my uncle's hammer Mjolnir, unique as well full of something more than himself. It was a lot to take, as well about thinking of the others being sent off to anywhere in this place of discord, but if I'm being serious I'm not fully complaining. I'm starting to like this new look I got since I got her, I feel much free then ever as well a bit more wicked. Though it was mostly side tracked by this VK Samael, never would I imagine a VK would be that of a full blooded demon. I mean when saw him he looked like Chernabog but only smaller and got Hades influences wrapped up around him, chains and his own guitar which produce his own magic. Acolyte has a lot to explain to me about how this work, especially of how I'm going find my friends in this nightmare themed realm."

Walking across a hill which was green as much of the area, Mal was continuing her walk across the plains where she could see much of everything. So far it was like being back in Auradon. Only the area was different, not friendly but hostile. Needing to survive whatever would come the deepest parts of the area, there was roads as well destroyed bridges where it looked like many battles had happen upon it.

Mal: "So tell me Acolyte, why exactly is Samael interested in us? I mean why not go for our parents?"

Asking the former god as the bat merely sighs as so far, this girl has asked questions since they left the cave. It was giving him a headache as he hated being asked this types of things, especially from teenagers who think there cocky.

Acolyte: "What to I look like, a historian? Only thing that might explain it is your blood is special as well could help him get to your world and fuck it up like my realm."

Giving a short as well annoyed response to her question which Mal could tell he was not exactly fond of this, though right now she needed the assistance if they were to survive this realm as well reclaim what they had lost. They walked to a nearby stone where Acolyte flew over to which Mal was curious about, tapping his foot to the side he instructed for her to move it to the side. Walking over Mal pushed the rock upside down showing a sketched out as well fully detailed of the land, it was like a map that was edged perfectly.

Acolyte: "Chaos resides of many areas which revolve around the hellish ice mountains, the condemned jungles and especially the places your friends may be placed."

Pointing it out with his small claw foot seeing how it was being placed at certain spots of where her friends might be at, Mal looked at the rock carved map as she somehow could feel the presence of someone close near her. This world was considered not for the fate of heart, it was all about knowing where to go as well not being afraid to do so. Raising her index finger, she closed her eyes where she allowed Lilith guide it as she Acolyte saw how she was trusting in herself. Mal's finger soon guided her hand to the first spot of their destination.

Acolyte: "The scrapyard, that place is a place where most people here claim their metal. It's the same place were Samael took these pieces and gave it to his creatures, as well others who wanted to rip apart his enemies. It's also a place where a sport I'm usually fond of happens, Carnage Rush."

Explaining it to her as the sound of it was pretty graphic, as well made her think who she might find there to begin with. Carlos, he was only one amongst the group who could make anything that could help them with any situation. And in a place like this he might have made something to protect himself while all alone, but this sport Carnage Rush made her feel tense. Standing back up, the moment was interrupted by some laughing as it came from behind Mal as well Acolyte seeing how it was several men who were wearing leather jackets as well had weaponry which were that of axes and clubs.

"Looky here boys, got us a little young girl. A hot one at that."

They spoke in a rude manner as they were viewing her like as they surrounded her, Acolyte noticed how the bastards looked at her not knowing what she really was. Mal, herself was right now just giving them a small smile seeing how this was just her luck, first day alone with a bat and now she's getting assaulted by some grease heads.

Mal: "Hey guys, I can of see why your wanting some of this. I mean, most of the boys at home did. At first I was confused cause I really wasn't interested in looking pretty, but as you can see. Pretty much the best thing you boys have seen, right?"

Asking them as the men merely nodded like if they were at a club, she merely moved in a way that got the men distracted as Mal was acting like a sweet girl for them. Acolyte, watched this as the bat went to safe spot where he would avoid getting any blood on his fur. Grabbing her axe, she pulled it out as well spins it showing off Lilith to them as it made the men move back as it's presence made them frightened.

Mal: "Well come on then, you all want me? Come and get it."

Taunting them doing a pose for them making them want to have her, one of the guys being fidgety like soon tried to rush her. This lead to Mal quickly moving to the side and kicking him hard in the balls. Mal, looked at the others as she had the man in her grasp. Placing the instrument by his throat, she had in a position making him a meat shield for them. As Mal moved him across them, the looks on their faces made it easy for her to tell they could care less for the guy. They rushed her as Mal kicked the man to one of them as a brawl started right to her, the purple haired Vk quickly began protecting herself as well delivering solid blows to the men. From Acolyte's perspective he counted six men, the first was the one she held in her grasp as well knocked down. Mal used her axe to protect herself as well used it like a actual weapon, it was like facing off those hollow knights back at Auradon. Except now it now it was herself against these men, which wasn't that much of a challenge seeing how that they didn't fight like warriors. They all tried to get in close by cutting her, however she was able to move quick from the attacks as well hit them with the bass of her axe, spinning it around in her hand felt smooth as she began to slash right through them without killing them.

Acolyte: "If I would be the voice of wisdom, maybe you should just end them with a small melody?"

Informing her as this was going take to long seeing how Carlos could be in danger, or worse. Nodding to the bat, Mal kicks one of them to the side where she cleans off the blood from Lilith and saw them getting back up. Gliding her finger to the strings she made her eyes glow a intimidating state as she as going play a small rift.

Mal: "How about a taste of VK music?"

Asking them as the men replied by charging at the girl again, soon enough she pulls the strings which leads them feeling a strong wave of music at them. Though so far nothing happened, till suddenly one of the men felt something. One of the guy's faces began to slowly melt as well the others as they began to groan in pain, they all began to fall in pain from how much it hurt, the face melting continuing to where one of them was strong enough to stand on his knee's as well looking at Mal. Who walked to him with Acolyte landing on her shoulder, he tried to stay alive as well look at her.

"You, bitch."

Insulting her as Mal merely chuckled before delivering a solid right punch to his face making most of his face fall off as well have him fall right onto the ground dead. Looking at the sight, she didn't know what came over her. It felt like a rush for her as well being in Trickster's shoes. The rush as well excitement it was to take on these types of individuals with no remorse seeing how they were cruel and cared for no one, felt rather pleasant.

Acolyte: "Nice blood bashing you did, see you have experienced with this type of violence eh?"

Asking Mal which she gives him a look seeing how it was true, growing up on a isle of villains as well learning to live with a Oogie will make you want to learn a few things. As well that with how much that has happened, it be best to know how to handle yourself with going up against these types of men.

Mal: "These guys, are they from the scrapyard? Can tell from how their dressed as well weapons."

Looking curious as she went into one of their pockets and soon enough found a piece of paper, it showed a advertisement of Carnage Rush. A death race which requires something valuable, it could include new metals as well possibly people who be used in the garage as workers. Walking over to the rock, she picks it up as Acolyte was going to be the one to read the directions to her as they began their walk to the Scrapyard.

The Scrapyard

It was a long walk that took a hour until they had arrived to the scrapyard, there was a large like entrance that had pieces of metal connected together to make it look like a castle entrance. Except a massive door, there was no door to keep anyone out. Everyone could walk in or out, inside of the place was several individuals wearing almost the same thing such as leather along with looking like street punks.

Acolyte: "The people here in the Scrapyard come from most of Chaos, when they want to seek purpose as well want to make a name for themselves. They come here to race in Carnage rush and test their mettle, not many people survive."

Explaining the brief intro of this land to her as Mal merely nodded seeing how that this type of environment reminded her of the Isle of the lost, walking inside of the small town the girl kept the guitar close to her as well made sure Acolyte didn't get seen. So far having a talking bat who was once a former god as well the same one that possibly made this place as well lost his power to Samael. As Mal walked pass the buildings, she saw posters showing the demon's face as well words saying 'A new dawn is coming' possibly meaning once he get's her and the others. It would be the end for Auradon, continuing her walk she made her way to the center of the town where she saw a medium size building. Where it had plenty of cars established as well looking menacing to boot, they looked like pieces of metal along with parts of car items to make them look like war vehicles able to handle almost anything.

Mal: "Wow, pretty rad. Kind of stunned these guys can make these types of cars and not kill themselves when driving them."

Going to look at one, except to the fact when she heard someone being thrown out. She looked at who it was as the person looked like a beat up pit stop worker, coming out of the place was that of a strange like creature with a hot rod helmet. Tusks underneath his lower mouth as he had on some metal like parts attached to him, including exhaust pipes which blew out some fumes.

"You screw up on my ride? Don't you know when you mess with Road claw you get burned!"

He asked as the man tried to apology for what he did, grabbing the man by the foot he walks over to a nearby chopper where he chains his foot to the side. Whistling to someone on the side, a nearby person jumped on the bike and starts it up as the rider soon drags the man across the street where everyone watched how the former pit crew worker screamed. Mal, was angered by this action until she noticed him looking at her as she kept her composure.

Road Claw: "Well hello there, I suppose your here for the new job opening. A position just opened up, everyone of the new drivers need's a worker for their ride. And from how you look, I got the perfect racer for you to work with."

Speaking up noxious like as he gestured her to come inside as Acolyte, still close to her side as the eyes of the bat informed her to not let any guard down around this creature. Walking inside, Mal looked at that of several portraits of last year races, the images were rather destructive as well showed mostly Road Claw winning each one. As well another working with Acolyte, they looked like old friends but she could tell there was a jealousy in his eyes as Acolyte knew the history with him. Walking to a nearby garage she saw numerous other cars with their own different drivers, at the end of the garage was a familiar face. Carlos, he was right now wearing the same clothing except he had on some gloves as well goggles over his eyes as he was working on a car.

Road Claw: "Hey spots! Got yourself a new pit crew member, your lucky you got one. Otherwise these men would chew you up and still your right, lucky your old buddy got you someone. Hell, maybe she'd date ya if you weren't so weak."

Letting out a laughter as he let Mal meet up with her friend, along with pulling a fence cage in front of them. It was the best way to protect the drivers as well make sure their cars didn't get taken, as the 'boss' of the race soon leaves. Mal rushed over to Carlos and hugs her as if it felt like ages since they last met, which was only yesterday.

Carlos: "Mal, it's good to see you again. Half of these guys are looking at me like if I was a snack to them, also like the look."

Getting excited from how she was her and not some type of ploy, before she could say Acolyte came out from behind her which made the boy move back at the hood of his car. Acolyte, flew over to him inspecting him as Carlos saw how the glasses wearing bat was giving him the look.

Acolyte: "Huh, thought you be chewed up to the bone while being here. Must have some balls to survive in a place like this."

Acknowledging the moment of how him being in a dangerous place like this, he be easy picking. However Mal knew better seeing how a genius like him could find a way to stay alive. Especially in a hostile territory like this, Carlos looked confused at Mal with her talking bat friend as she gave him a brief explanation about who he is as well what the reason for them being here is. All this made his head spin seeing how that it was going to be troublesome to get back home while trying to survive being hunted down by a demon who wishes for their blood.

Carlos: "Well, if possible. His magic is based off from his demon dad's realm, along with his mothers seeing how that he may be a VK. He can't exactly enter our world without having the same residue we have, because our parents from the other world came here because they had interactions with our parents. While the witch's, being in the underworld weren't around during the transition when our world met your dad's."

Putting the pieces together trying to learn why this powerful demon wants them, however this intellectual talk left the two out of track as well not understanding this.

Acolyte: "He talks like this and still has a love life?"

Mal: "Yep, but he is good at making things. Also, girls find him cute."

Making a joke as well teasing Carlos as the white haired boy merely looked at her with a glare, though the two wanted to know what was underneath the tarp. Carlos, smiled as he walked over and removed it quickly which made Mal look shocked as well being totally astounded by what she as well the former god were looking at. It was a custom based like hot rod with a few parts which was based off her moms original vehicle, it was fashioned for several people to be in as well had the color motif of his signature look. It had armored doors as well platting to help withstand attacks long with having a good interior for him to ride in.

Carlos: "I call it the Doommation, it can handle a lot of terrain as well can take up damage from other cars, put it needs a few touches."

Seeing how that the car might need some adjustments, Mal looking at her guitar thinks of something. Her eyes glowing, she soon begins to play a small tune which Carlos moved back while he and Acolyte watched the girl play her instrument. This continued as the purple haired girl merely focused on playing the instrument as it began to change the vehicle, Mal continued to play Lilith as she soon made several of the metal parts that were on the ground to the car.

Acolyte: "Hear that tune man, although you have seen a lot of bloodshed here. This is what my world is suppose to be, music. Fucking beautiful music."

Sounding proud as Carlos merely saw how he was enjoying the tune as the boy watched how the car was fully modified to be ready for the road as well the race. Carlos, smiled at the sight seeing how it was good to have a fully functional car ready for the race.

Mal: "I think this wolf is ready, but is the driver able to handle it?"

Giving Carlos a look in which he nodded seeing how he was good to drive his mom's car back home, this would be no trouble. Though except now it will be against others who will tear him as well the two into pieces if they weren't careful, this should be quite fun.

Later

At the beginning of the starting line, several of the racers made it to the line where most of their cars were armored, had different types of designs as well had drivers with a aggressive like behavior to match. Carlos, wearing his own type of clothing which involved him wearing his goggles as well having the right type of clothing which involved him having a spandex type racing suit as well it having some jeans, plus a jacket showing off his colors as well a crossbones on his shirt. Mal, seating as Copilot looked at the other competitors as they looked ready for the race.

Acolyte: "Quick info on rules of the game mates, don't die. As well keep moving forward, also. We have weapons."

Informing them as he pointed at the side of controls where the two looked confused at the controls, Carlos flipping them he saw a familiar sight which was two cannons that looked like his shock gauntlets that he had with. Mal's guitar somehow must have somehow combined with the car becoming one, before they could admire the weaponry they were soon interrupted by Road Claw, who was riding in a hot rod of his own design looking like skeleton armored kart as he looked at Carlos.

Road Claw: "So that's the car that will kick mine as well the others back side? Ha! Bet you need your little girlfriend to help hold onto the wheel, sorry about me killing you boy. But hey, all part of the race."

Letting out a laugh as he's exhaust pipes soon blow out some fire as he was ready, Mal looked angered by that as Carlos merely tried to avoid the look as he placed his goggles on focusing on the race. Though Acolyte, getting comfy soon noticed a familiar figure which was none other than Samael. Who was watching from the sidelines as well amongst his warriors, this made the bat get freaked out as the others noticed him.

Samael: "This, is interesting. Road Claw! If you and your men can hand them to me, I will make sure you will own the roads of their world. Kill the bat! But bring me them alive!"

He instructed as the racer nodded liking the idea as a woman, who looked scantly dressed walked right in front of the racers as well raised a flag. They looked at the flag as Carlos gripped the wheel tightly as well looked at the other racers, each of them looked at the VK thinking they be easy prey. Mal, seeing this as she got comfortable as well get her guitar out as she was going help get Carlos focused. As well possibly use it to give him the edge, the woman dropping down the flag the race started as the cars rushed pass the woman as they made their way onto the road. As each car was burning rubber along with bumming into each other, Carlos focusing his best to try not to go off the road as Mal helped out along with bringing in music, the boy could feel the music as well road at the same time as he used them both to help him get through this race in one piece.

Carlos: "What ya gonna do when the De'vil come? Get movin', yeah moving'."

Getting the gest of it as well rocking to the music he was listening to, so far Mal's guitar was giving Carlos a adrenaline run. As he was driving on the road, he saw how most of the drivers were trying to get after him as well attempt to shoot at him with their own different types of weaponry.

Carlos: "I'm gonna get your kicks ass and send you to medics, It's groovin', so soothin'."

Singing more as he was able to do some drifts to confuse the other riders, his driving on the road caused some of them to drive off road or crash into the side. Mal, couldn't believe how the music was releasing his inner speed demon. He could see the smile off his face which reminded her of his mother, she didn't know whether to like it or be crept out by it.

Carlos: "Your anger to bleed is just lookin' to feed. Your own fancy the fury side o' you is a bad dream come true, that you can't see."

Making his way up to the other racers, he saw how they were coming up a hill, adjusting the gear stick he makes sure they had enough speed to make the jump. Burning the engine, they quickly rode right towards the others as they went upwards into midair.

"From an De'vil's eye, Kiss it all goodbye. From an De'vil's eye, Ain't no place to hide!"

He and Mal sang as they made the landing, they were looking seeing how the other cars fell into a crater. Carlos, was making his way to Road Claw as he was up a head.

Carlos: "Tell me what you see through an De'vil's eye? A halo on fire, You never really know 'till it's "do or die". Your Devil's desire."

He asked his friends as they didn't ask, soon enough the two saw some cars driving right by their side. The drivers pulled out melee weapons as they tried to break the windows, Mal continued to play as she used the bass of her guitar to hit one in the face making the driver go off road.

Carlos: "You're running in place like a dog in a race going nowhere, the evil you speaks from the tongue of a freak, So don't go there!"

Warning the other driver as Acolyte, flew right into the other driver's face scratching him in the face. The driver went out of control as Carlos moved away in time to see the enemy driver hit a nearby destroyed car and do a flip, Acolyte did a middle finger with his foot as he flew back into Carlos's car.

"From an De'vil's eye, Kiss it all goodbye. From an De'vil's eye, Ain't no place to hide!"

The two Vk sang as they saw it was Road Claw left, driving up to the side of him. They saw how his exhaust pipes were shooting out fire, as well him looking angry as he pressed a button. The side of his car pulled out that of a spinning chainsaw weapon, it began to scratch the side of Carlo's car as the boy tried to avoid it. Seeing how they were close, they could see the finishing line as well Samael waiting with his guitar out ready to take them.

Carlos: "What ya gonna do when the De'vil come? Get movin', yeah moving'."

Looking at Mal, she nodded her head giving him her full trust seeing how he knew what he could do. Smirking at the boss driver, he pressed some buttons on the side as well put the car into full thrust as they were able to make it front going right to the finishing line. He spins the car as the Vk and bat looked at Road Claw as he was confused what they were doing.

"From an De'vil's eye, Kiss it all goodbye. From an De'vil's eye, Ain't no place to hide!"

The two singing right at him as Carlos, began firing at the boss. The force from his shock cannons began to destroy the front of the rider's car, looking behind him. Carlos quickly spins the car around as he quickly puts it in park, this soon lead to Road Claw to hit a bump due to how much damage he had gotten to where his car flipped dramatically. The people at the finish lined ran from how Road Claw was flying right at them, except for Samael as he merely looked annoyed at this. Making a fireball, he let out a frustrated roar as he hurls the ball right at the car.

"From an De'vil, From an De'vil, From a De'vil's eyes!"

Parking right near the finishing line, they soon saw Road Claw as well his ride exploding in a instant. Apparently Samael hatted incompetency, the three looked through the fire seeing how that Samael was giving them a death stare as well baring his teeth. Acolyte, merely does a winged middle finger as Carlos soon drives off making their escape as Samael watch making their escape from him.

Carlos: "So then, do you know where the others are at?"

Mal: "Yeah, I do. Let's just hope their alright, for there sakes."

Responding to him as she pulled out the rock map seeing how she could feel the others, and now with transportation they would be able to get there faster before Samael could catch them and do something vile and horrible to them.

Song belongs to it's rightful owner Aerosmith, more to come as well different types of music which involve the right environment for the story. Leaving a comment down below and the next part will be right up.
