“We’ll be running blind except for Squeak, what if they come after us then?” Specca asked nervously.
“Then run even faster for your life,” Alyssa mentioned as the group tensed up.
In front of them Daemon and Katie were watching as the deathmare howled at them while holding its giant scythe in both hands, the larger Darker One scrapping its hind legs back a few times on the dirt road as it prepared to charge.
“This is going to get very dangerous,” Specca warned while holding onto her friends’ hands tightly.
Sasha, Rulo, Forrus, and Tora glared at Jovian and Jacqueline as the twins slowly lowered their hands and prepared to advance on the monster girls, the gemini giggling in unison with cruel smiles on their faces.
“Just stay together and run quickly, the sooner we find Luna the sooner we can get the hell out of this place,” Alyssa said while glancing back to the alleyway behind them.
Daemon brought up his sword and held a hand to it, the strange markings on it glowing blue while Katie held a hand out to the side, erecting a small circle of glowing red light before it that had several strange symbols and markings spinning around it.
“Get ready to run,” Daniel cautioned as his group watched the fighters carefully.
Tora held her staff in front of her and down onto the dirt, the ground below her turning dark and parched while it shifted around slightly in front of her with a low rumble.
“Keep your head down and don’t stop for anything,” Triska ordered while holding her blade in one hand tightly.
Jovian and Jacqueline glanced to each other then looked at the four monster girls before them.
“Shall we, dear sister?” Jovian mused before licking her lips. Jacqueline nodded with an eager laugh.
“Oh yes, let’s start with-” she started before suddenly getting trampled over, with everyone watching in surprise as Kroanette came bolting out of the pathway beside the gemini sisters and ran over Jacqueline, the blonde’s body getting crushed and shoved down into the dirt as the centaur stumbled and tripped about before looking back to seeing Jacqueline lying face first in the ground with a broken arm and spine.
“Oh my god! I’m so sorry, I didn’t see you there!” Kroanette cried out. She held her hands to her cheeks and slowly walked up towards the blonde’s body while Jovian merely raised an eyebrow at her.
“Kroanette?” Daniel asked with confusion.
“What is she doing here now?” Triska said with disbelief.
“Seriously, I didn’t mean to do that, I didn’t see you two there. I mean it’s so dark in this place, I couldn’t see anything at all. I’m so sorry, really,” Kroanette pleaded. Jovian looked down to Jacqueline with a blank expression then to the centaur while slowly shaking her head.
“That wasn’t very nice, you ran over my sister,” she plainly scolded. Kroanette looked at the naked girl with concern and puzzlement then down to Jacqueline as the blonde slowly started to get up, her arm and spine cracking back into place as she spat out dirt.
“Um… are you ok?” Kroanette asked unsurely.
“Kroanette, run!” Specca cried out. The centaur looked over to see everyone watching her then slowly turned to notice the deathmare and succubus in the street as well, the two Darker Ones also watching the centaur while Jacqueline slowly started to get back up on to her feet.
“What… what is going on here?” Kroanette asked nervously.
“Get away from those two, those are the man-eaters!” Specca shouted out. Kroanette looked over to seeing Jacqueline standing back up again while giving the centaur a dark glare, with Jovian also glaring at her as the two sisters started walking towards her.
“Wait, what? Man-eaters?” Kroanette asked shakily as the gemini bared their teeth with wicked smiles. The deathmare watched as the centaur slowly backed up towards it then geared back with its scythe to strike at her.
“Kroanette, run!” Triska yelled out
“Behind you, look out!” Alyssa cried out. Kroanette looked back with a gasp as the deathmare howled at her, the Darker One swinging its scythe towards the centaur with a wide arc. Before the blade could hit Jovian and Jacqueline grabbed Kroanette’s arms and swung her down onto the ground together, the spectral scythe missing her by a hair as the gemini pounced on the centaur with dark smiles.
“We’ll start with this one,” Jacqueline snarled as they held the monster girl’s arms down at her sides.
“I call dibs on her breasts,” Jovian growled as the two held Kroanette down while Jovian grabbed one of the centaur’s breasts, squeezing it tightly while Kroanette stared at them with shock.
“Wait, WHAT?” she screamed as she struggled to move in their grasp.
“No!” Daniel shouted out as the sisters laughed while Kroanette screamed in terror, her horse legs kicking about wildly as she was held down on her side by the two strong sisters. Jacqueline grabbed Kroanette’s hair and yanked her head back, baring her teeth with a wide smile before a pair of bolas spiraled towards Jovian and wrapped around her body, the girl watching as the rope and rocks wrapped around and tied her arms down at her sides while Jacqueline looked to her curiously. The blonde was then suddenly tackled to the ground by Forrus, the lycan viciously tearing apart the girl’s neck and face with her claws while growling loudly.
“You shall not claim another innocent life, you wretched demons!” Forrus yelled as she splattered Jacqueline’s blood onto the street. Jovian looked over to her with a growl before Sasha’s blade struck through her skull with a slick crunch, the large broadsword cleaving through her head before the handle reached her back and struck against it. Kroanette screamed as the raven haired girl wavered slightly with the large blade protruding out of her head before she dropped down to the side with a thump.
“What the hell is going on here?” Kroanette cried out as she scrambled back onto her feet, the centaur looking to seeing a lycan slashing apart Jacqueline’s body, then down to Jovian lying on the ground with a large broadsword splitting her skull into two, then over to the deathmare as it howled and swung at her again with its scythe. Before the spectral blade could hit the centaur a flash of bright light streaked over in a wave and struck the deathmare in the side, causing the Darker One to howl and stumble to the side as the magical attack burned its body. The scythe jerked to the side and whipped past Kroanette as the centaur screamed and jumped away from the Darker One.
“Get out of here now, what are you waiting for?” Sasha snapped at her as she ran over and grabbed her sword’s handle, the reptile girl then swinging her weapon and Jovian around before slamming the girl into the ground. Kroanette stared at Jovian’s body with wide eyes as it collapsed onto the road before Sasha yanked her blade back with a quick motion, right before Rulo swung down with her hammer and smashed Jovian’s body into the ground with a loud crunch. Blood splattered to the sides on the ground as Kroanette stared at the sight with a nervous whine, her eyes watching as Jovian’s legs twitched on the ground while blood seeped out the sides under the large stone weapon. She then looked to seeing Daemon rushing towards the deathmare and swinging his blade at it, the large Darker One quickly blocking the strike with its scythe before a searing blast of purple and white flames streaked over and struck against its face. Kroanette looked over to seeing Katie walking towards the deathmare while holding a hand in front of her with the circling light of lines and emblems remaining in place before her, the magical casting circle throwing out searing bursts of flames that struck against the Darker One repeatedly before it used its scythe to block the attacks. Daemon swung his blade and created another wave of light to fly at the deathmare, the Darker One dodging to the side before swinging its scythe at the boy again with a loud wail. Daemon blocked the attack with his sword, sliding to the side from the forceful swing, then parried it before darting back as the deathmare swung its blade around again and down into the ground where he just was.
“What is going on here?” Kroanette asked shakily before looking to seeing Forrus
being swatted away with a howl by Jacqueline, the blonde slowly sitting back up as her body regenerated from being slashed apart by the lycan. Forrus rolled away then grabbed the ground with her claws to stop herself, growling and glaring at the blonde sister with fury as she got ready to charge again. Jacqueline started laughing as she sat up before thorny black roots struck up from the ground and impaled her through the chest and arms, the girl coughing out blood before laughing amusedly again. Kroanette looked over to see Tora holding a palm out towards Jacqueline with a furious glare while from the ground before her a large serpent’s head was bulging up from the street, the summoned beast having black scales with red ones across its eyes while it hissed and extended up from the ground that it seemed to be melded to.
“What… what the hell is this?” Kroanette cried out.
“Get out of the way, you stupid horse!” Tora yelled before waving her staff towards Jacqueline. The serpent monster howled while baring its teeth before shooting towards the blonde girl with a loud hiss, its body stretching and expanding out while remaining attached to the ground in front of the witch. Kroanette screamed and jumped to the side as the summoned beast raced forward and snapped its jaws shut on Jacqueline, blood shooting out the sides of the mouth with a loud crunch as the dark serpent thrashed its head around while lifting it up into the air. Forrus watched as the serpent then slammed down into the ground, with Jacqueline’s arm seen sticking out the side of the mouth and flailing around weakly. Kroanette stared at the sight with wide eyes while her four legs wobbled in fear then looked over to seeing Rulo’s hammer suddenly being thrown up into the air, with the orc stumbling back in surprise before falling onto her rear with her hammer crashing down behind her. From the ground Jovian retracted her arms while the bolas was seen snapped into pieces below her then jumped out of the small crater that she had been driven down into, her body fully healed again as she leapt over and pounced on Rulo, pinning the orc down by the shoulders with a wicked laugh.
“You look tasty, my little piggy,” Jovian giggled before lunging down and biting into Rulo’s shoulder, the orc screaming in pain as she tried to pry the monster off of her.
“Get her OFF!” Rulo cried out as she struggled to push off Jovian. Sasha ran over and swung her sword across, slicing through Jovian’s back and spine with a slick crunch. The dark girl dropped down to the side before her hand grabbed hold of Rulo’s breast and gripped it tightly, with Rulo screaming in pain as she grabbed the girl’s hand and struggled to pry it free. Sasha swung down again and again on Jovian’s body, hacking off the arm and slashing apart her back before Rulo scrambled away and grabbed her hammer.
“What the hell is with these things, why won’t they die?” Rulo shouted out before she swung her hammer over her head and down onto Jovian’s managed body, smashing it into the ground with a crunch. She then dropped to a knee and held her bloodied shoulder as Sasha ran over to her, seeing her comrade having a large wound with blood dripping down her arm.
“Rulo, are you alright?” Sasha asked quickly.
“No I’m not alright! The bitch took a bite out of me!” Rulo screamed back before wincing in pain. The two then looked over to seeing Tora’s serpent howling as it shook its head around before Jacqueline pried open the jaws forcibly, the blonde girl kicking down the lower jaw with a loud crack before she punched her hand up and through the skull of the monster’s head.
“Dammit, no!” Tora yelled out as her summoned beast dropped dead with a painful howl, black ashes and smoke billowing up from its fatal wound as Jacqueline tore through the monster’s skull and hopped back out onto the ground looking as good as new again.
“Ta-da!” she declared with a graceful twirl and bow.
“What the hell is going on here?” Kroanette cried out frantically.
“Just run, Kroanette, run!” Triska yelled before Daniel and his group made a dash towards the nearest alleyway together, all of them holding hands as Squeak led her friends into the darkened village. Kroanette watched them run then looked to seeing Daemon blocking a swing of the deathmare’s scythe before Katie flew over and struck across the Darker One’s face with her nails, the large deathmare howling before twirling its scythe around and trying to strike at her again. The succubus held a hand out and formed a barrier of spinning purple emblems and intricate casting circles to her side, the magical barrier blocking the scythe with a bright flash and crackle before Katie took off into the air. As the deathmare recoiled from its halted attack Daemon darted to the side and swiped off one of its legs with his blade, the Darker One howling as it dropped down onto its side before the boy spun around and swung his blade downward, creating a powerful wave of bright light that shot out and tore through the Darker One’s body with a vicious crunch. The deathmare howled in agony before Katie swooped down and smashed its head into a smear with her feet, the succubus arching her wings back as blood splattered onto the ground around her.
“Holy shit, screw this!” Kroanette cried out before taking off down the darkened street. Katie eyed over the downed body of the deathmare then glanced to Daemon and winked with a smirk, the boy just watching her with a cold stare before looking over to seeing Rulo’s hammer being tossed to the side again into the orc, with Rulo catching it and falling over onto the ground while Sasha turned her blade towards Jovian who once again got up from the dirt in one piece with no visible injuries.
“Master, we have a problem here,” Sasha called out while glancing to Daemon.
“The bitch isn’t dying,” Rulo called out as she got back up and held her hammer in one hand, her other holding onto her wounded shoulder as she glared at Jovian with anger.
“Seems neither of those two girls are,” Katie mentioned while glancing over to seeing Forrus swinging Jacqueline around by her hair before down into a patch of thorny roots, the blonde being spiked down into the wooden barbs before the ground under it started to shift and rumble as it turned darker. The lycan quickly darted back as a pair of large jaws protruded up from the ground around Jacqueline, the blonde looking around to seeing the serpent’s teeth forming and rising up around her as the summoned monster took form with its black scales and red ones circling around its left eye. Jacqueline pushed herself up off of the thorny spikes and tried to jump out to the side before the snake’s jaws snapped shut, bisecting the blonde girl with a loud crunch. Jacqueline’s top half dropped to the ground with a splatter of blood behind it while the serpent’s head snapped up her lower body and swallowed it.
“Just die already!” Tora yelled out with fury as she waved her staff around, with the serpent’s head then howling before it rose up and then lunged down with an open mouth onto Jacqueline’s top half, slamming down onto her and digging its face into the ground with dust flying up around it. Daemon watched the serpent thrashing its head around in the street then looked over to seeing Sasha swinging her blade around at Jovian with furious swings, the raven haired girl darting around each one with a wicked smile on her face before she grabbed Sasha’s hands and held her in place.
“Too slow,” she giggled before she gracefully maneuvered around in a spin as she backed up towards the reptile girl, her hands angling the broadsword up in the air before she turned it around and thrust it back down past her, right into Sasha’s side as it struck through her body and out the back with a slick crunch.
“AHHH!” Sasha screamed as her blade went through and out her backside, blood dripping down her shirt as her hands let go of her sword. Jovian spun around and then grabbed Sasha and held her close, sinking her teeth into Sasha’s chest as the reptile girl screamed and stumbled around as she was held onto by the dark girl.
“Sasha!” Rulo cried out.
“MASTER!” Sasha screamed out as she was taken to the ground with Jovian ripping out a chunk of flesh from the reptile girl’s upper chest. Jovian laughed around the bloodied meat as she sat up on her prey, her eyes watching as Sasha screamed and struggled to move under her.
“Here, let me help you with that,�
�� Jovian taunted as she grabbed Sasha’s sword and slowly pulled it out to the side with one hand, the blade slicing through the reptile girl’s body and spilling more blood onto the ground as Sasha cried out in pain.
“There, does that feel better?” Jovian laughed as she held the large sword off to the side while pushing more of Sasha’s flesh into her mouth to chew on. Suddenly Rulo’s hammer swung by and whacked the raven haired girl with great force, the dark monster’s body splattering back onto the road with blood coating the ground as Rulo stood over her wounded comrade with a furious glare in her eyes.
“How dare you, you goddamn… whatever you are!” Rulo shouted out. She looked down to seeing Sasha holding a hand over her wound on her side and another on her chest as blood dipped down onto the ground.
“Hey, are you alright?” Rulo asked quickly.
“Do I look alright?” Sasha yelled out at her before flinching in pain. Rulo grabbed her hand and helped the reptile girl slowly stand as the two watched Jovian’s bloodied remains slowly pull itself back together and regenerate, the raven haired girl reforming before their eyes and slowly getting back onto her feet once again.
“Dammit, what the hell are they?” Rulo yelled out. Sasha looked over to seeing Jacqueline tearing through the summoned serpent’s head, the blonde girl ripping apart the monster’s skull with her bare hands as she casually walked out onto the street while appearing completely unharmed. Tora screamed in anger and swung her staff around in a tantrum while Forrus growled loudly at the blonde girl, watching as Jacqueline held a hand to her hip and laughed amusedly at Tora while the serpent dropped down to the ground behind her and crumbled into black ashes.
“The rumors about them were true, they cannot die,” Sasha cursed with frustration.
Jacqueline giggled then glanced to Forrus, the lycan glaring at her with fury while she kept her claws ready to strike.
“You’re the one that ran away after we ate your sisters, aren’t you?” Jacqueline asked with a sly smile. Forrus yelled and ran over to her, swiping again and again at the dark girl before Jacqueline slapped the lycan hard across the face. Forrus stumbled to the side as she recoiled from the strike, feeling as though her jaw nearly broke off from that one hit alone, before Jacqueline pounced and took the girl down to the ground, pinning her down and smiling wickedly at the lycan while baring her teeth.
