''Oh my gosh, Loki I'm going to kill you when we're done.'' Darcy yelled at him, glaring at the completely insane man.

''Me?! I think you should be focused on killing these.'' Loki gasped, blasting another fire demon. They had horns forming around their heads and smoked curled in great quantities of their flaming bodies.

Darcy wielded the sword Stephen, their new sorcerer friend had given her. It was almost bathing her in a pearlecent glow, protecting her from the dark smoke that swirled around her.

A low hiss emanated from a large lizardlike creature. A forked tongue snaked out of its mouth and it charged towards her.

She lowered the sword, bracing herself for the impact, she felt a jolt and release. The sword was lodged into the beast, black syrupy blood oozing out of its head and mouth.

''Darcy!'' Stephen pulled her back, just as the handle of the sword poofed and was gone in a mist. ''Those creatures blood is lethal poison, you cannot let it touch you or you could be fatally injured.'' He blasted another one of the demons, making another sword, ''Here, take it quickly.''

Darcy took the sword and faced another demon. She felt overwhelmed. She wasn't ready for all this...How did she even know how to wield the sword in her hand? She should just lay down and let them kill her... Wait! What was she thinking. If these creatures had mind control she was gonna rip their heads of even faster.

They circled her, separating her from the others. They were penetrating her mind, stealing her thoughts and using them against her.

''Youre disgusting. Who would want you?''

''No one cares about you.''

''Why else do you think your father left you and your mother killed herself.''

''There was no reason for her to live.''

''She deserved and wanted better.''

''You should have been aborted!''

''Jane pities you!''

''Loki thinks you're dull and stupid!''

''How could you be so dumb?''

''Your mother tried to choke you when you were a baby.''

''Evil!''

''Cursed!''

''Ugly!''

''Hated!''

''You were never wanted!''

''Enough! Leave me alone!'' She dropped the sword, pressing her hands to her ears, blotting out their voices. Tears ran down her face, and her ears were bleeding from the pressure. She couldnt breath. Smoke was blotting her vision and the creatures sickly rot smell surrounded her.

''Darcy!''

''Please don't give up my dear. Your path is not yet completed.''

The voice she had heard was beautiful. Not mean or nasty like the others. She felt hope, and energy was restored to her at long last.

''Darcy! Get up please, please be okay. I can't let you die.''

It was a different voice, one she knew and loved. She opened her eyes to see Loki looking down at her, Stephen behind him fending off the demons. She felt warm liquid at her temples and she was laying down.

''Thank goodness you're awake. These creatures aren't getting any friendlier since you stopped fighting. Loki.''

Loki didn't reply just pulled Darcy up and checked her over. ''I'm so glad you're okay.''

''I am too. Now, lets kill these monsters.'' Darcy stood up and took her sword from off the ground.

They gathered in a circle, back to back. Darcy looked at the demon in front of her. It hissed and she looked at it squarely. ''C'mon you son of a bitch.''

''It's not helping Loki! They never die! So if you could shut up and let me think I would appreciate it!'' Stephen snapped, barely keeping up his shield.

''I'm trying to give you ideas!'' Loki yelled back. Throwing a glass spear at one of the abominations.

Darcy sighed, this looked like the end pretty much. Loki and her were back to back, separated from Stephen by 30 fire demons and their beasts.

''It's been a pleasure working with you.'' Darcy said. Recalling a famous overused quote from westerns were indians and cowboys would fight to the death and say something poetic just when they thought they would die.

''It was more than a pleasure for me Darcy. It was a privilege.'' Loki looked at her tenderly, smiling lightly.

''Thanks.'' Then they were back in the battle. It looked like the end. Just as the demons and slobbering beasts charged at her and Loki someone yelled over their cries.

''ENOUGH!''

Darcy looked up and saw a red diamond floating in the air. As it came closer Darcy could make out flames flaming off of it. The figure turned into a drop dead gorgeous woman.

''Who...?'' Darcy began, looking at the red clothed woman.

''Amora the Enchantress, we face you again.'' Stephen called up to the woman.

Amora smiled and laughed. ''You are a fool to think me the same. I have grown in my power, and doubled my wickedness. You have not seen the true power of my gift yet. Surtur will be sure to destroy you this time wizard. You will not survive this day.''

Her words were like unto iron grating upon glass. Darcy almost cowered beneath that voice... That voice! She had heard it before. The bar maid at the diner. One of the Asgardian woman she'd seen while she was in Asgard. She was always there. This was a battle plan.

''What is your plan?'' Darcy yelled.

Loki and Stephen turned in unison to look at her.

''What?'' Loki whispered, looking at her like she was crazy.

Amora cackled. ''I find it disappointing that the mortal, figured me out. Out of all of you that midgardian peasant that's parents never wanted her, put together the pieces. It was always planned that youd find Strange. From the beginning we planned, waiting for Loki to hear about the Jotesei and come here. You my pretty pet,'' mora looked at her, ''Were an unexpected bonus.''
