Who Will Defend Us?

Manhattan
Central Park
April
1:26 pm

The portal from Limbo opened easily and without triggering the wards that warned those mystically sensitive of what was happening in the city.  S'ym's erstwhile ally had seen to that.  Not that S'ym trusted him further than he could throw him, but he had been truthful enough in what he could provide. 

Other demons, made temporarily invisible, followed him out of the portal.

"You all know S'ym's plan," he said.  "Raise hell out there.  Make the humans panic.  The more chaos we sow, the weaker our ally makes the barrier between dimensions.  And when that happens, he says this world will belong to S'ym!  And what's good for S'ym is good for all of you!"

The demons began to cheer.

S'ym puffed on his cigar.  "But it's gonna take all of you doin' what we do best.  Killin' folks, corruptin' this world, just like we done before.  Only there ain't no X-Men here to stop us this time!  No little Darkchylde to ruin things!  This time... this world... will... be... OURS!"

The demons flew off, ready to raise hell.

Okay, that? That was no good. Especially when the fact of the matter was that Sofia was someone who tended to be severely depowered when she was outside of Limbo, and she couldn't pull on Limbo's energies to power her spells.

No matter, though. Pre-Sorceress Supreme, Sofia had done just fine as a warrior witch.

For the most part, at least.

Taking a deep breath, Sofia concentrated and channeled her willpower into a strobing orb of magical energy. Citrus orange and sickly green light pulsated in Sofia's hand before she loosed the magical bolt on the mobile street signs. Immediate danger first, blow drying spells later.

That last part, with the water, Sofia had been entirely unprepared for.

As was evidenced by the fact that she was suddenly soaking wet and skidding across the sidewalk on her bottom.

Her eyes narrowed in frustration and she just barely managed to redirect the flow of water with a spell before she was thrown into oncoming traffic.

Sofia's mouth set into a grim line as she struggled to wrap a forcefield of angry red energy around the hydrant. Small streams of water leaked out here and there, but for the moment, it was contained.

She concentrated on turning the heat up on the forcefield - enough to boil and evaporate the water trapped inside of it.

"..." Well, that made things a bit easier. She tightened the forcefield, bringing it closer around the demon's form.

"Hello, disastrous one," Sofia said. "Where did you escape from?"

"S'ym? Purpley-grey guy? Has a horn? Sometimes sports a vest? Refugee from Limbo? That S'ym?" Yeah, the guy's name definitely piqued Sofia's interest. Sofia tightened her grip. "Speak now or forever lose your peace, demonling."

"..." Sofia pursed her lips thoughtfully.

And then she formed a leash and collar made of magic, latching it around the demonling's neck.

"C'mon, squirt. You're leading me to him."

Sofia reached down and gently rubbed her knuckles over its craggy yet soft head. "I know. But this is infinitely more fun than vanquishing you."
