Jason followed Kevin upstairs and outside to meet Rick.
"Rick this is Jason," Kevin introduced.
Jason and Rick shook hands.
"So who is the one that is possessed?" Rick asked.
"His name is Grant, he is in the basement of the building right now tied to a chair. The basement is where he was possessed and is where satanic rituals happened," Kevin explained.
"Stupid amateurs probably summoned something without even realizing it," Rick mumbled, "how long has he been possessed?"
"About 2 hours now," Jason answered.
"Okay, well I have the materials. We should get started," Rick stated.
Jason led them back to the basement. Rick and Kevin came into the basement and stood infront of Grant. Steve, Tango and Jason stood behind them. Rick did a small prayer first,
"In the Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, strengthened by the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of our Savior, of Blessed Michael the Archangel, of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul and all the Saints, 1(and powerful in the holy authority of our ministry), we confidently undertake to repulse the attacks and deceits of the devil."
Kevin opened the bible and they started the prayer while holding the wooden crucifix that Rick had brought while Rick splashed some holy water,
"We drive you from us, whoever you may be, unclean spirits, all satanic powers, all infernal invaders, all wicked legions, assemblies and sects; in the Name and by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, do may you be snatched away and driven from the Church of God"
Grant started laughing evilly.
"Oh please like that is going to help. Your God is nothing compared to me,"
They ignored him.
"We drive you from us, whoever you may be, unclean spirits, all satanic powers, all infernal invaders, all wicked legions, assemblies and sects; in the Name and by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, do may you be snatched away and driven from the Church of God"
"I have more power than your God. Do you think it matters that you have me tied down?"
Suddenly Tango was flung across the room and there was a sickening crunch when he landed on the ground.
"Tango!" Steve yelled.
Steve and Jason ran over and helped him sit up slowly. Tango let out a pained yell when his left arm was moved.
"Take it easy, take it easy okay. It's broken," Jason pointed out.
Steve took it and examined it.
"Try not to move it and keep it leveled with your heart." Steve instructed.
"Aw did poor little Tango break his arm?" Grant teased.
Jason glared at the demon's red eyes. Steve and Jason got Tango up and helped him to the other chair in the room. They sat him down, Steve helping Tango keep his arm level and not jerk it too much.
"He is weak. Doesn't know how to handle himself the little weak link. He is weak. Just like Grant was. That is why it was so easy to take over him. He didn't put up much of a fight, just get in the right spots and he was mine."
"Shut up." Jason growled.
"Grant was weak just like you all are. Just like your God is. And now Grant is mine forever."
Kevin went over and pressed the crucifix to Grant's chest. The demon let out a yell as the crucifix burned him. Kevin let up after a few minutes and Grant was left panting.
"Is that all….you got?" he laughed.
Rick and Kevin started the prayer again.
"and from the souls made to the image and likeness of God and redeemed by the Precious Blood of the Divine Lamb. Most cunning serpent, you shall no more dare to deceive the human race, persecute the Church, torment God's elect and sift them as wheat. The Most High God commands you"
Grant turned his gaze to Kevin. The crucifix flew out of his hand and he was flung to the wall.
"See? I am more powerful than your God,"
Rick went over and helped Kevin stand up.
"We should take a break and try again later," Rick suggested.
"Go ahead and try all you want. All of this is not going to help."
"What do you mean?" Jason asked.
"Grant is already dying. He is trying to hold on but its not working, he is dying a very slow and painful death right now and there is nothing you can do about it Jason. This exorcism is going to be the final straw,"
Jason couldn't take it anymore. Before anyone could stop him, he went over and started punching Grant in the face.
"Shut up! You know nothing about Grant or any of us!" Jason yelled.
Steve went up and tried to pull Jason back.
"Jay stop! Your hurting Grant!" he warned.
Jay didn't let up, he kept punching Grant's face. Kevin finally came up and helped Steve pull Jason away. They pulled him over and sat him down on the stool in the corner.
"Take it easy man. Easy alright just calm down," Steve coaxed.
Grant coughed a few times and spat out some blood. He started laughing again.
"I was wondering when you were finally going to crack. Oh you should hear how Grant is screaming now. He is wondering why you would hurt him Jay? Why his best friend would hit him?" Grant questioned.
Jason couldn't take it anymore. He stormed out of the room.
