On the Shore of the Isles…
The coven, Eda, and the Blood Crusaders stopped fighting as they soon felt the energy that hadn't been felt in over sixty years!
The prison fell apart right before their eyes as the Blood Crusaders cheered, for they were victorious of their leader's return to their world. Hunter was barely able to get everyone out of the building with Flapjack's power as he and his palisman passed out. The Coven Heads and Eda went to the children as they watched in horror, from the sky was a witch. She was a withered woman with a nun attire and scary farm equipment in each of her shriveled hands, looking at the world she had been gone from for so long. It brought a look of smugness to her horribly pale and withered face.
"Is that… Demona?" Eda uttered with fear.
"Yeah… that's her…" Raine answered, trembling at the sight of her.
Demona looked down as sounds of rigged flesh moving was disgustingly heard.
"Resurrection brings Salvation!"
"Salvation brings truth!"
"Truth brings harmony!"
"Harmony marks the return!"
"Return oh Great Collector!"
"Salvation at hand!"
"Salvation brings truth!"
"Truth brings harmony!"
"Harmony marks the return!"
"Return oh Great Collector!"
"Salvation at hand!"
"Salvation brings truth!"
"Truth brings harmony!"
"Harmony marks the return!"
"Return oh Great Collector!"
"Salvation at hand!"
"Resurrection brings Salvation!"
"Salvation brings truth!"
"Truth brings harmony!"
"Harmony marks the return!"
"Return oh Great Collector!"
"Salvation at hand!"
"Salvation brings truth!"
"Truth brings harmony!"
"Harmony marks the return!"
"Return oh Great Collector!"
"Salvation at hand!"
"Salvation brings truth!"
"Truth brings harmony!"
"Harmony marks the return!"
"Return oh Great Collector!"
"Salvation at hand!"
The leader of the cult smiled a wicked grin.
"Ah, it is good to be welcomed to this fixer-upper... It seems I will be welcomed even more…" Her croaky voice vibrated then noticed that Belos was flying towards her, seeing his sharp blue eyes.
Soon, these two legends were face-to-face.
"Hello, Belos." She greeted the man who trapped her in the In-between.
"Demona, you have been busy." Belos sneered with venom in his voice.
"Oh, so you put two and two together. I am a little disappointed, you used to be so much sharper back then."
"Yes, you were the one to lure my daughter here, you had Lilith betray us, all that has been happening of late has been your doing. I couldn't even see it; you truly are a puppet master."
"I am simply doing my mission. I don't forget that… I don't forget a lot of things, unlike you."
Philip frowned with his Palisman of the Flock in Totem Palisman form in hand.
"I am going to kill you again. You know that right? Years of incarceration have weakened you and the poor beast inside you." Belos reminded her as he was slowly turning into his Elk Beast form.
"Maybe, but…" She laughed then presented her sickles in her hands, "But why not have a little fun before I leave to recover?"
The fight was epic as two mighty legends clashed once again! Both Blood Crusaders and the Isles cheering for their champion! The group was being led away by Kikimora as the battle was proving too close to them! Luz, distraught with her inability to reach the statue in time, watched her father and the monstress Nun in Red fight in a battle of epic proportions!
"Kid, we gotta go!" Eda advised.
"No, we gotta help Dad!" Luz refused but Kikimora stopped her.
"No, we need to go back to the palace. Your father has her, let him fight the evil."
The group was then led to safety as it seemed that Belos had this locked.
But then… The head of the Blood Crusaders intervened.
"Sweet Mother, we must leave! The Covens will be hunting you-!"
"You…you would do anything for the cause, yes?"
"Of course, anything for our Demon Realm!"
"And you are willing to make… any sacrifice?"
"Yes! Yes!"
She smiled.
"Take my hand."
The head did and Belos watched in horror as the man was drained of everything until he was a pile of ashes! Demona herself was rejuvenated, still not at full strength though. She then placed her white mask over her face.
"Palisman can give you a kick, but a willing soul… so rejuvenating…. But you wouldn't know of that, Blasphemer."
"You really are a parasite."
"I am the saving grace of all worlds, while you are just a diluted little mushroom."
Now, Demona transformed into the Spider Beast as her terrible fangs dripped with poison. Now, the true battle has begun! Claws, teeth, and magic as the two nearly tore each other apart while their legions were battling each other!
Tulip watched her aunt fight the man who sealed her away.
"Aunt Demona, please come back to us. Make our world a paradise." She pleaded with all her heart.
Meanwhile, at the palace, Hunter made the same plea to his uncle.
"Don't lose to her. Beat that bug back into the darkness." Hunter whispered, knowing his uncle would hear him.
Luz, meanwhile, was able to slip away from her family and friends to help out her father!
"Luz, come back!" Her mother pleaded but she was already long gone!
At the Battlefield…
Belos was pinned by the claw of Demona as she was ready to strike him.
"You know, Belos. If you had just remembered, things wouldn't be this way. Oh, well. Live and learn or die and learn."
"Great tip, I'll try to remember that."
Before any of them could react, Luz used an ice spell to pierce Demona while Mr. Saltine gunk her claws and legs! Demona howled in pain as Belos took this opportunity to pin her.
"Luzura, though I am happy you came to my aid, you are grounded for putting yourself in danger like that."
"I know."
"Good, now stand back." Belos ordered then turned his attention to Demona, "You've lost, Demona."
"True, but only the battle… the war, however-."
She then disappeared!
"Is just getting started…"
