Demons Under Siege

You and Emily quickly make your way out of the warehouse. Before you get back to the SUV, Emily is making calls over the radio.

"10-99, I repeat, 10-99! 1680 River Avenue. All units, officers need assistance! Reporting a Class A-1 threat, I repeat, Class A-1!"

Within minutes officers from the city, county and state police swarm to your location. You direct them to establish a perimeter at 1000 feet from the building. DSD units join them with half a dozen light armored vehicles equipped to blow anything out of the sky. Black helicopters armed with air to air missiles circle above as DSD technicians get measurements of the demonic activity within.

You can sense that there is a large number of your kin inside the structure, but you wait for the techs to get back to you with their estimates of their numbers.

Two hours later, you and Emily are sitting in the command post when a helicopter lands in a nearby field. An agent jumps out and helps Director Marlowe step to the ground.

At the same time a unit is racing into the complex and skids to a stop. Kyle exits and runs inside. You approach him, but as soon as Marlowe enters the command post, all discussion stops.

"Any idea who we're dealing with?" he asks.

"She called herself Lustara," you answer, "obviously we're dealing with nom de guerre."

"Tactical, Ms. Strickland?" Marlowe asks as he turns to Elizabeth.

"Energy readings are difficult to interpret. We estimate that there are 10 to 15 demons inside."

"What's the medical status of the agent?"

"We're pretty lucky on this one. He had his booster vaccination three weeks ago. He's going to be hard to corrupt."

"Good," Marlowe nods.

Then he turns to Kyle, "Did Marcus give us any further insight?"

"He heard the S.O.S. over my radio when it came in," Kyle said. He laughed his head off.

"I asked him who Lustara is, and he told me I should ask you."

Marlowe pauses for a moment. It's clear his searching his memory from his time in Lilith City.

"I've fought a lot of demons in my day, but I've never heard of this bitch."

"What are our options?"

You take charge. "I got the plans for the building from the city engineer. There are too many rooms to try for a full assault. Our best bet is to insert a small team here, you point to access point on the roof, and try to locate McCormick."

"That's a long shot," Marlowe replies. "You're likely to alert them to your presence before you find the target."

"Best case, we go in around noon," you say, "when they're at their weakest. We'll blow out as many windows as we can before we go in to let as much light in as possible."

"Best plan you've got?" Marlowe asks.

You look him back square in the eyes, "It's the only plan we've got."

"Ok, who's your team?"

"Me and and Agents Lawrence and Adams here, along with Agent Galetti. His military skill should be invaluable."

"Agreed," Marlowe says. "Get going! But if you're not out by sunset, I'm blowing the building to bits."

"Sunset?" Emily asks.

"5:37," Elizabeth responds.

Your team dons its gear while units around the building blow out windows. As the sun is approaching its meridian when you jump in a Sikorsky Super Stallion and fly toward the building. Agents in two other choppers lay down suppressing fire to keep the roof top clear as you and your team fast rope to the roof.

"Brimstone 1 to Gabriel," you radio in, "we're in position. Ready to head into Sodom."

The radio operator at the base acknowledges your call, "Roger, Brimstone 1. Radio silence from here. Gabriel out."

From there, you open a roof hatch and descend into the building. You clear the top two floors without incident, but it's taking time you have three floors to go and only an hour to sunset.

"We've got to move this along faster," you say to your team. "Galetti and Lawrence, you take the third floor. Adams and I will drop down to floor two. If we make contact with McCormick or Lustara, call for backup."

Not waiting for an objection, you turn into the stairwell and head to the second floor.

Kyle comes along side you as you open the door to the second floor.

"This was where the balcony was that they took McCormick from, right?"

You nod.

"OK, stay sharp."

He tries the latch. It's locked, so he kicks in the door. You go through first. The hallway iis dark. You sense demons around you.

Entering the first room, you see three of them two incubi and a succubus. Fucking. They must be young, and not very powerful, unable to control their urges in this situation. As a human, you could have handled all three of them along. Now it would be child's play, but Kyle is here, so you decide to put on a show.

You draw what looks like a blessed sword . You modified one so you could handle it. You motion Kyle to the left as you move to the right. The incubi are double penetrating the succubus. You take the one in her ass from behind. You behead him with one quick stroke.

The other demons are shocked. The incubus throws his fuckmate off of him. She lands in Kyle's arms, and he quickly plunges a gold plated stake into her heart.

The incubus lunges for you. You let him grab you in a choke hold. His long, hard cock rubs against your back, and you have to suppress the urge to end your charade and give him a good, hard fucking. Instead, you feign fear and shout, "Kyle, help!"

"Now Kyle," the incubus whispers, "why don't you leave your friend here with me, and maybe Mistress Lustara will let you live."

Kyle makes eye contact with you. You pull at the arm around your neck. Kyle lunges at you with his blade ready. You step forward and create some separation from the target. Kyle spots the opening and drives his sword into the midsection of the incubus. He releases you, and you turn, bringing your sword to bear. His head rolls along the floor.

You hug Kyle. "Thanks, " you say. Kyle is breathing heavily. You can feel the adrenaline rushing through his veins. You can also feel Kyle' hard dick. Saving you seems to have turned him on.

You give him a wry simile. He blushes. "Let's go, work to do, fun later."

You look through the window of the next door and see Lustara and another succubus molesting Peter. The agent has been stripped naked and bound to a St. Andrews Cross. He looks physically exhausted but for the throbbing erection that the other succubus is attending to. Although you're a considerable distance from him, you're sure you could sense an infection growing within him, yet you don't. You conclude that his inoculation is holding, and these bitches are simply denying him an orgasm for the sake of it.

Kyle peers though the window in the door as well. You're just about to formulate a plan when the sound of gunfire rings out above you

"Brimstone 2, Brimstone 3, report," you whisper into your headset.

"We're pinned down by a half a dozen red birds," Emily responds. "Couldn't take them without making noise."

"Roger that," you reply. "Sending Brimstone 4 to back you up. Cover him up out of the southwest stairwell."

"Appreciate that, Brimstone 1, but we could use you're help too," Galetti says.

"Negative, Brimstone 3, we have eyes on Lot and his wife. We need to make this work."

Galetti acknowledges your transmission, and you send Kyle up to help clear the second floor.

The gunfire disrupted Lustara and her companion. Peter was left alone long enough that he passed out from exhaustion. Sensing your opportunity, you wave your hands in front of the locked doors and blow them off their hinges and strut into the room. You allow the demonesses a chance to look at you before you allow your glamour to drop.

"Well," Lustara clucks, "what have we here?"

"I am an emissary of Lady Mara. Queen Lilith's most blessed and chosen representative on Earth. Bow before me and accept Mara is the true queen of all the earthly demons and I will see that the humans spare you."

"We bow to no one," the lesser succubus hisses. "I'm going to enjoy breaking you, bitch!"

"Sinantha, wait," Lustara calls and the other succubus obeys immediately.

"While I have no intention of bowing to a lesser demon, I would be willing to form to an alliance."

"Sorry, no, Mara is without peers. Therefore, she has no need for alliances. Either you serve her on Earth or you serve Lilith in Hell."

Sinantha flies toward you again. With a swipe of your hand you divert her path and sweep her into a nearby wall. She collapses and falls to the floor surrounded by the rubble from the wall. You plunge your sword between her breasts and pierce her heart with the golden blade. She crumbles to dust.

"Sam!" Lustara cries out. She's on you too fast for you to strike her. She pins you to the floor and curses at you. "Say hello to Lilith," she curses.

"Why don't you do it yourself," you respond as you wrap your talons around her throat.

Lustara does the same to you, yet your retain an advantage. Using your wings to push you back into an upright position, you twist her windpipe and pull it from her throat. She backs away from you gasping as she tries to regain her composure. She has one hand at her wounded throat while foul, black blood gushes from the wound. Her other hand is outstretched in a defensive position. You bring your blade down across her wrist, severing the hand. Then you bring the sword back across your body to lop off her head.

Moments later, the gunfire upstairs stops abruptly. The silence is short lived as you hear the vulcan guns blast away outside. It seems that, upon the loss of their leader, the lessor demons attempted to flee and flew out the nearest window only to be shot down by the patrols outside.

"Gabriel, this is Brimstone 1, Lot's wife is salt."

You reapply your glamour while you wait for the rest of the team to join you. The four of you hold your position until the medics arrive to take Peter to a quarantine room. Once he's out of the way, you head toward the door. Something shinny attracts your attention, a diamond ring sparkles on Lustara's severed hand. You retrieve the diamond ring and read its inscription.

"JRM to TEM, 3/9/97"

Back at the command post, you hand the ring to Director Marlowe, saying "I think this may shed some light on the situation."

Marlowe examines the ring for a few seconds, then looks you in the eye.

"Where did you get ..." he begins before he breaks into sobs.

"It was Lustara's," you say. I'm guessing that's where the name came from, Tara? your wife, right?"

"Tera Elizabeth Marlowe. We were married six years before the outbreak. I always felt in my heart that she'd escaped the bombing." Marlowe says. "I was always afraid that I'd die before she could be released. I am forever in your debt, Agent Kia."

"There was another demon with her, she called her 'Sam' at the end."

"That was my partner, Detective Samantha Watkins, before all this ... this, .... happened.

"I suppose I'm doubly in you debt."

"I'm sure I'll come up with an appropriate way for you to repay me," you reply.
