Who Will Defend Us?

Manhattan
Central Park

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.

A blast from the Ghost Rider's shotgun struck S'ym in the shoulder, knocking him back a bit.

"Gonna kill you for that, flame head!" he growled. "Kill 'em all!"

"Oh, bad, bad, bad!" Petey, Sophia's pet demon, wailed. "This is baaaad!"

"Kill 'em all, kill 'em all, blah, blah, blah. Y'all sound just like Lemurians. Kinda smell like them, too." Kassia shrugged and picked up a rock--which was more like a small boulder--and chucked at the first demon in her epic throw-path at top strength.

Marion likes the Atlantean. Her kind of gal. The werewolf howls in rage and pain as the bolt from Dormammu connects. It burns at her fur and flesh but she still charges S'ym. She will hurt the demon.

Liza glanced around. Parentage notwithstanding, Dormammu was so far out of her weight class it wasn't even funny. A seductive voice whispered in her mind.

You could release me...

Yeah, Because another power mad demon would make this so much better. Thanks, I'll do it on my own.

The Basilisk gave a throaty chuckle. As you wish. But remember, I am always here. For you.

Liza shook her head and concentrated on the battle. Minion demons. Swarming minion demons. Yeah, those she could handle. She leapt onto the back of one nearby, slashing it across the eyes with the claws in her gloves.

Sofia sucked in a breath. She'd never really faced Dormammu, never really met him except for when she was very young. Yes, she'd used her powers as a teenager to help her mom and her mother's allies foil some of his plans, but the face to face thing...that had never happened. Clea had always protected her.

Looked as though this was going to be a family reunion.

She launched herself into the air, channelling her power on herself, and flew straight towards Dormammu. A dagger made of pure magic formed in her hand as she did so.

Yeah, she was pretty sure they were going to die.

But she charged forward, something compelling her legs to move, her arms to swing her sword. "FOR ASGARRRRRRD!"

The Rider fired, pumped the shotgun and fired again, all with inhuman speed. He shot down as many low-level demons as he could so that the others could get closer to S'ym and his master.

Vesper extended his wings with a sching. In the air, he might have an advantage. He wasn't like the others with powers and boulder-chucking abilities. He desperately needed to update his gear to get some offensive capabilities.

He launched himself in the air to get a better view of the battlefield and see where he could be of most use.

Demon soldiers fell under the attacks from Dawn, Marion, Liza, and Kassi, while S'ym weathered under round of the Ghost Rider's fire.

"That hurt!" he growled. "S'ym's gonna make you pay for that!"

He lobbed a fireball at the Rider.

Dormammu just laughed as he saw Sophia approach.

"Ah, family," he said. "Always such a source of frustration. I should have killed my sister when I had the chance."

He fired a bolt of bedevilment at Sophia.

Marion is a giant thing of rage still. She wants S'ym. The wolf that shares part of her mind is howling for blood shed.

She hates the smell of fire in the air. Burning ozone and whatever the scent of demonic fire really is gets to her. The werewolf doesn't like it.

Can't say it though. No way to and besides her teeth are busy.

Kassi sees this bolt. She doesn't like it and thus attempts to deflect it from Sophia using her trident. It worked on the demented light poles.

The fireball struck the ground in front of the Rider's bike, causing it to veer wildly. The Rider got it under control quickly enough but it cost him a chance to fire another shot at S'ym.

"Face me in single-combat, demon! Prepare for judgment." he demanded.

Sofia smiles down at Kassi. It's a quick, short smile before she focuses her attention back on her great-uncle.

"Everytime you take a chance, you get knocked down again. Give it up early and go back to burning in your hell-dimension, 'Mammu."

Once in the air, Vesper realized that may not have been the wisest of actions. Since there were winged demons. Winged demons with a gleeful look of destruction coming at him.

He cursed with a heavy French accent and tried to maneuver out of the way. Or at least get some of them to crash into each other.

Dawn was almost a passenger in her own body as reflexes and muscle memory of things she'd never actually done took over, separating demon head from body with easy swings of her sword. Strokes were blocked, punches were thrown, guards erected...

All things she never knew she could do, or even should be able to.

The distraction cost her, a demon striking her from behind and knocking her to her knees.

"You think S'ym's afraid of you?" the Limbo-demon growled. "Belasco, the Darkchylde, N'astirh, the Magus, S'ym's outlasted all others!"

He stepped forward, cracking his knuckles. "Bring it, little rider."

Dormammu growled in frustration. "I'll burn this whole world to the ground if I wish! And none of you heroes will stop me!"

He struck out again, with the Flames of the Fallentine.

Sofia fired back at Dormammu, dispelling her magical dagger for the Rains of Raggador.

Dawn's sword separated a demon's head from its body, and gave her a moment's breathing space.

There had to be something more they could do...

There. Just beyond the big purple guy, were still several flaming braziers, lines of glowing light between them. Maybe...

She pointed with her sword. "I think we should smash those!"

The wolf pauses in her fighting. She can sort of understand what Dawn said. But for the wolf the scent of blood is mildly distracting.

She isn't sure what she should be doing. Attacking or assisting in what the armored woman said. The wolf decides to make sure that the woman can do as she said so she jumps after the demons who are getting between the braziers and Dawn.

A big angry werewolf would scare most beings, not demons though so Marion has a fight on her 'paws'.

A couple demon-on-demon collisions and a few more close calls for himself, Vesper was busy. Though with his hearing as powered up as it was, he heard the confused blonde suggest smashing things. A glance down let him see what she was pointing at.

Vesper banked to the left to avoid a swooping demon and then streaked toward one of the flaming braziers. He hoped it wouldn't need super strength to break. Either way, this was going to hurt...

Liza flicked a little demon ichor off of her claws. The Basilisk was enjoying this a little too much. Or maybe it was her own demon heritage.

She looked over at the braziers that Dawn was pointing at. Smash those? Sure thing. It seemed less messy than fighting the demons, anyways. And maybe safer.

She threw her line out and lassoed the top of one of the braziers, then pulled back with all her strength.

Dawn sliced through one of her own, the sword she carried and the strange power she wielded, slicing through the brazier easily.

As the braziers were destroyed, the mystic symbol they had been forming began to glow and vanish...
