Shawn sighed. “It looked like a younger Seven and a smaller Clash. The cyborg was different, though- he had wings and two metal arms, but his legs looked normal. The metal looked...weird, too. It had a blue sheen to it and I can’t think of anything that looks like that. He had green eyes- well, his normal eye was green- but he looked like Seven. Minus the hat.”
The special metal that allows the use of magic and elemental powers without damaging the hell out of cyborg parts. Neves would love to get hold of some of that metal.
“I’m not done. His hair was the same and he just...he looked like him. Half of his face was metal, but even just paying attention to the normal half, he just…looked almost the same.” Shawn shrugged helplessly. “He looked about sixteen. Like he was Seven’s son or something.” Emma snorted. “Now there’s a thought.”
Oh boy, there's going to be a lot of hilarity when the Lag Kids true nature is revealed to the Black Market crew.
She felt Cataclysm tense beside her and she and Kyir quickly both leapt into action, grabbing his arms and holding him still as they knew he was about to pounce. Cataclysm pulled forward, straining against them and screaming in rage with his jaws slamming shut in an attempt to bite her. His feathers sharpened immediately and his claws flexed, the necklace around his throat glowing brightly from the effort to keep him from going into his full demon form. The albino demon stepped closer, her face only inches away from him. A smirk spread across her face, baring her teeth. “Hello, Cataclysm. Happy to see me?” Cataclysm let out a high-pitched furious scream, straining against Kyir and Emma even as Shawn moved to help them. Emma felt something within her sink as a realization clicked into place.
Bitch please does he look happy to see you? >:l
“You’ll be interested to note that I’ve been sent by the Archdemon of Destruction, Vel’kex. I’m authorized to do anything I have to in order to get Geek back to him, and that includes killing you. I’d rather not, as you’re quite fascinating to have made friends with my dear pet, but I have no qualms about doing so.” “He’s not your pet,” Emma and Kyir both snarled. Shawn only looked scared, but nodded convincingly.
Ah so Vel'kex has been unbound from the Necronomicon and gone back to rule in the demon realm, but Geek stayed on Kaldriel. Geez Vel'kex why'd you have to send her to fetch Geek?
“Cataclysm!” Emma’s head snapped around to see Geek flying towards them, landing almost clumsily and racing towards them. “What’s causing your necklace to- oh.” She folded her wings and crossed her arms. “Edme.”
Geek to the rescue, interesting that she can sense the magical strain on the jewelry she's made. Headcanon that's why she stayed on Kaldriel to open up a jewelry boutique XD
After the revolution had ended, she’d freed Vel’kex, like she had been supposed to almost fifteen years before. Unfortunately, due to events out of her control, she’d been incapable (or, later, unwilling). Vel’kex had only snarled at her and returned home, and she hadn’t seen him since, which was fine by her. He’d had more than enough of her and the Nethernomicon, and she couldn’t say that she blamed him.
Awww Geek and Vel'kex broke up D: Though like Geek I can't say I blame Vel'kex for being pissed at being trapped in a book 15 years longer than he was supposed to be. Though it was probably for the best it kept Vel'kex safe and out of the hands of the Mainframe, but he probably doesn't see it that way.
The room was large, circular, and primarily red, although the floor and walls around each of the six Archdemon thrones were changed to match them. The thrones were in a semicircle around one half of the room, and six of them were filled, but the seventh- the one reserved for the ruler of Hell- was empty, as it had been for almost five hundred years. They hadn’t had a true ruler in that long, and Hell had suffered for it. Geek felt a spike of emotion before squashing it down. Now was not the time. Now, she had to focus on the archdemons.
No true ruler of hell in over 500 years? A spike of emotion from Geek at that thought? Wait....how old is Geek? Was the previous ruler her father or something? Is Geek the Princess of Hell?
To his left (Geek’s right) was his opposite, the Archdemon of Regeneration. Aur’thia was shorter than even Geek with red hair and brilliant green eyes. Her skin was similar to Geek’s and her wings were a pale magenta color. Two small white horns poked up out of her hair and she smiled pleasantly upon seeing Geek, revealing her sharp teeth. Her expression faded slightly as her eyes drifted to Edme and she tensed slightly.
Hold on a minute! Is this a demon version of Aureylian? Why did I not pick up on this before when Aur'thia was mentioned in chat? The fact that Mars did art of her should have tipped me off, but it didn't ^^"
The final Archdemon was Baskon, the Archdemon of Death. Geek wasn’t really sure what to think of him, as normally he didn’t like her much due to how close she was to Vel’kex. Today, he looked pained, despite how hard it was to read his expression. He was the least humanoid of all the Archdemons, built similarly to Edme although considerably larger. A metal blade was grafted into his tail and black wings folded against his back. He was covered in odd black scales, making him appear to be made of shadow, but his skull was visible through them and blue lights burned in his eyes sockets.
Ok Tana I can see how this is supposed to be Blame. But I was originally thinking from the description Vallor'roth or Valk'vanor. Also at least 2 of the other 3 Archdemons are still going to look like Norazdormu and Moranaax.
“You’d better have a damn good explanation! I have half a mind to kill them and sent you to rot in the Shattered Zone for the next thousand years!” Geek stared at him in confusion. “Excuse me?” “You...you…!” “Vel’kex.” Aur’thia leaned over and put a hand on his arm. “Calm.” “No! I will not calm down! I will-” “Enough,” Baskon snarled. “Last night we picked up the energy signatures of two very strong demons. Looking closer, we realized that they were extremely similar to both Vel’kex and yourself.” His claws tightened on the armrests of his seat. “Archdemons are not allowed to have offspring. You know this.” Geek stared. For one second. For two seconds. For three seconds. For a good ten seconds she stared before she started to laugh. “You think I’m involved in this? I have no children, and I’m certain of that- I think I’d remember having a child, nevermind two and with an Archdemon.”
Ah so they're blaming Geek for her's and Vel'kex's Lab Kids. Seems logicial, though they are barking up the wrong tree XD
“They are,” Medithia assured, sitting up straighter on her throne. “We’re having a hard time keeping track of them, but there’s no way they aren’t. They need to be dealt with, immediately. I’d suggest sending an army to Kaldriel, led by me, to find them and wipe them out, but Ixen won’t let me.” “It’s not diplomatic,” Ixen argued. “You cannot send an army to Kaldriel with no repercussions. It would also make our efforts to hide their existence more obvious, and I do not need to remind you what would happen if Heaven learned of their existence. The angels have been aching for a fight for nearly a century- we do not need to give them a reason.”
Oh boy..... So Jack and Exedae confirmed as Geek and Vel'kex's Lab Kids then? Who's very existance could cause a war between demons and angels that would likely end up taking place on Kalriel?
“We have no monarch,” Ixen snapped. “We cannot succeed this way. Until the crown is found-” “-no monarch can take the throne, yes, we know,” Vel’kex grumbled. “Damn Curse. I wish we’d thrown him in the depths of the Shattered Zone instead of killing him.”
Huh.....so the Archdemons overthrew the previous king and as the crown has been lost no one can take the throne? Interesting.
Aur’thia glared at Vel’kex before turning back to Geek. “It’s a strong request,” she corrected. “An archdemon searching for something would be too obvious, but you…” “You’re known for being odd, and your energy signature isn’t particularly noticeable,” Baskon supplied. “It’s only that damn book that gives away your position.” “No one will suspect me of doing anything official,” Geek assured. “I’m one of the most unofficial demons there is.”
Are they saying in demon terms that Geek is so insignificant that Heaven aren't keeping an eye on her? And the only interesting thing about her is the Nethernomicon? *hugs Geek* Don't listen to those assholes, I think you're the most important demon ever.
“It would have been better had Vel’kex summoned you in a less… obvious manner.” Ixen shot him a glance. “Edme isn’t obvious!” “She’s bright fucking white. She’s obvious.” Baskon’s tail lashed. “Get going, Geek. The sooner we clean up this mess, the less likely we are to have a problem with Heaven.”
Edme is very obvious and very obviously a complete and utter bitch.
