vs HER Ex Machina

Mark had heard the legends of a man who was at the root of all that was known about the labyrinth, now that they were face to face he could see why.

The mans face was non existent, just a smooth surface on a head with wiggling hair. He looked at Daisy and a crack opened in his face “ Sorry! I got a little pushy, let me make it up to you!”

The mans shadows stretched out … a tentical and touched Daisy on the forehead. Daisy's body jerked up as her bloody returned to her body like a video in reverse till she stood up and pointed at the wall “ I want a raise!”

The Devil: “ I raised you from the dead, anything else is gonna cost.”

Daisy turned around bowed then left through a portal, returning moments later with a table and several chairs.

The Devil: “Please take a seat. We have much to discus.”

Mark and the party tried their best to not take their eyes off the devil as they took their seats. A shadow emerged from under the table placing a variety of food and drink on the table. Tal'E's stomach grumbled as she looked at the feast, Esla licked her lips.

The Devil: “Please eat as much as you like, my treat!”

Lucy: “ Your poisoned treat?”

The Devil picked up a turkey that merged with his arm as he spoke “ My dear I promise on all I own that any tricks will be kept within the legal realm. your Fae friend can test it if you like.”

A bound Luka was pulled from under the table and made to stand.

Luka: “The queen will hear of this!”

The Devil: “ She knows. Your to continue as planned.”

Luka slumped, but bounced back with a “HMPH! The food is not poisoned”

Tal'E and Esla dug in as Lucy stared at Devil, her fingers tapping on her shotgun.

Mark: “ No.”

The Devil tilted his head “ I don't mind! Would you all like a free hit?”

Mark grab Lucy's gun “ Can we get to the matter at hand!?”

The Devil and Lucy: “ Killjoy.”

Mark sat back down as the devil pulled out some papers. “ It's all very standard. You will work for me once a month on various projects, in return I will grant you access to the lower levels and help in your current legal situation. Your families legal representative has looked over everything and approved, all that we need is your name.”

Mark looked at the papers. He knew that the deal wouldn't kill him, but he would likely regret it. He looked at Lucy and the rest of the party. They looked back at him worse for wear, but still ready to fight beside him.

Mark: “ I have a question.”

The Devil: “ Of course, ask away.”

Mark: “ Why do all this? You could of just sent the paper work without threatening my love ones. You have the influence. You have the power. Yet you made the choice to attack me and mine just to make a point. You ruined lives to get me to sign a paper, I want to know why!”

The Devil shrugged “ I am the devil you kno....”

Mark stood up and walked away followed by Lucy. Esla and Tal'E took their plates with them as they excused them selves.

Before they could get far the food started to jiggle and grow absorbing both of them.

The Devil sighed as he shuffled the papers “ I'm afraid I must insist that you sign these. I can't make any promises about your safety if you don't.”

The room started to shrinking as the Devil stood papers in hand. “ I assure you the contract will give you all you want. Just put your name here.”

Mark: “ You know.... I have been visited by this titless god recently who gives out the same promise, thoughts?”

The Devil jumped back a his face a writhing mass of flesh, his voice now tinged with panic “ You …. you spoke with it the voice of …. no … no no no no NO! SIGN!!! {sIGn nOw!!!!}”

Mark stood face to face with the devil unfazed by his magics “ I'll tell you like I told it. I kneel for no titless bitch!”

The room was still. The kind of still that a preditor gives off. The devil grew, his size over shadowing everything as he pounced.

Mark jumped forward to protect his loves praying for a miracle.

HER: “ It's about time!!!!”

There was a flash of light. The devil had been blown away. Mark rubbed his eyes in disbelief at the familiar sight.

In the middle of the room a glowing pair of magnificent breast was floating.

The Devil looked at the light as his face started to crack.

Then the world froze. Mark watched a eye open on the Devil's forehead

HER (Telepathically): “ MY CHAMPION, YOU HAVE YET TO WIELD THE TRUE POWER OF MY BLESSING. GO FORTH AND ….. WAIT IS THAT... OK NEW PLAN HE CAN'T KNOW THAT I HAVE BLESSED YOU ….I WILL BE RIGHT BACK, KALLA! YOU WORRY TOO MUCH..... I'M SURE HE'LL LIKE YOU …. WHAT? OH DARLING DON'T WORRY ABOUT A THING LIKE THAT HE HAS A RANGE OF INTEREST..... YOUR ASS IS A TOUCH ON THE SMALL SIDE... NO I THINK.... SHIT, THE LINES OPEN!! JUST GO! ”

The light faded and there in the middle of the room was.....

A angel. Kneeling a golden spear at her side.

She had long red hair that barely covered her ass. Her wings flapped as she stood to face the devil unfazed by her nakedness

Mark: “ Damn!

The Devil: “ Damn it all!!!!

The Devil called forth several tenticals but the angel fired spells from her wings turning them to ash.

Lucy and Mark watched in awe as the two fought.

Lucy: “ Your angel friend seems nice.”

Mark: “ First time we've met actually.”

Lucy: “ Really?”

Mark: “ Really.”

Lucy: “ Think we should help?”

The shadows were closing in on the group as more and more tenticals appeared. The Angel flew up to the ceiling but was caught by a writhing mass. The Devil pulled her to him, smiling.

The Devil: “ Hah! All the power in heaven could not stop me what hope do you have!”

the Angel glowed even brighter her eyes turning a pulsing red

HER: “ { rETURn tO YOUR TruE fORM...... GUSS!!!

The angels opened her eyes and fired a laser through the devil turning all that he was to ash.
