Though he hadn't done much in the overall violent reckoning, Deimos still found himself exhausted. He'd gone far too long without using his abilities, and it was starting to wear him down. But he still had some anger left in him. Deimos would need it, as he'd taken a chance to look behind him when melting into the shadows to teleport away to see his redeemer surrounded.
In an odd act of sympathy, Deimos decided that he couldn't leave her(him? Her demon form looked very... masculine, to put it lightly.) to be chained up as he had been. He could safely assume that she would be just as, if not more, affected by the blessed forms of restraint that he had and then who would get her out? Certainly not him, not if he didn't do it now while he vaguely cared.
There was no time for showmanship, so with a twitch of his hand, Deimos' sand whipped through the air and sliced through the men enclosing on the fallen demon, necks spilling crimson, spines severed into permanent paralysis, fragile skulls crushed. Quick as a blink, Deimos was out of his hiding spot and making his way over to her.
"With me." He said, grabbing her by the thinnest part of her arm he could wrap his hand around and yanking her across the room into his shadow. "Mouth closed, don't breath," Deimos warned as they fell into shadow, bone-chilling cold that reeked of death sinking deep into his very soul. Even though it felt like an age had passed, two seconds later, Deimos and his rescuer were punted into an abandoned warehouse, somewhere in Gotham. Home.
...
The top half of Deimos' mask melted away, revealing the very human eyes of Seonghwa, who stood up with great difficulty and flexed his joints. Seonghwa wouldn't say shadow travelling was his favourite, but it did the job.
He turned to the demon girl still on the floor, mildly unsure what to do now. Seonghwa had whisked her away without much of a warning, and, to be honest, even though she didn't look in great shape, Seonghwa still had a human body, and he wasn't in any state to take her on.
"I guess my thanks are in order. For getting me out." He said, weariness seeping into his speech.
Blackjack breaks some containment cells open and told her fellow villains to be free and do whatever they want, over her shoulder she sees a group of soldiers running towards her. She looked over her shoulder and smirks at them, "Petty things like you do not deserve salvation." She said with her male demonic monotone before she spreads her fiery demonic wings and creates dozens of black fireballs towards the soldiers. The black fire is more stronger when it engulfs any living being, and that's what she is doing.
To gain more power, she must feed on the weak. The fire is hunger for human flesh, eating them alive, their screams filled the room as another vibration was felt from the outside. Their blood was spilled on the floor as they fell one by one, leaving them nothing but a grotesque, burned corpses. Then she left the area to get to the other containment cells were they are more dangerous than minor villains, she then uses her flames to melt the cell doors and freeing more villains.
This made her chuckle, "This is the day of reckoning... Release those urges and do whatever you want!" She declared before a strong bullet went through the other's wings. She quickly turns around to see heavy machineries charging towards her, then it started to shoot bullets on her, she cursed and creates a wall of black fire to block it but the bullets are too dense that it went through it and wounded the demon.
"Weaker creatures do not deserve to live!" Then she flew towards the machineries and breaks them with her claws before she mercilessly decapitated the soldiers and guards along with it, making the area more bloodier than she expected it to be. Then when most of the villains escaped from the bunker, she starts to go back to the floor where she met Deimos but he wasn't there anymore.
The hacker then notified the female villain there are more reinforcements coming from the floor where she is, before she could reply she heard already footsteps coming towards from every corners. Yeji couldn't contain her transformation longer with her wounded state from the dense bullets that went through her defense, sure, her demon transformation is impenetrable but she cannot avoid getting weaker because of the divine energy that had kept the bunker safe from darkness and malice, even the machines are also infused with divine energy.
She didn't expect that to be this longer than she should be inside the bunker, 'Well... this is a turn of events...' Yeji thought inside her mind as she was surrounded by the reinforcements. The only thing that Yeji would do is to risk her transformation and goes back to normal form, or wait for the villains to attack these people in around her.
@【 ᴠ 】yeji h。 It was the vibrations that first told Deimos that something was amiss.
Then it was the platoon of soldiers flooding into his cell, a needle jammed into his throat, only to come back to his senses. His body contorted, so his arms held his body weight, shoulders on the verge of dislocating if he so much as shifted his weight. Deimos being covered in the usual adamantium chains and crucifixes further confirmed something was happening. Something that his 'handlers' didn't want him getting involved in. Interesting.
Unfortunately, there was nothing Deimos could do but stand and wait. He hissed as white-hot chains touched the sensitive areas of his body, his senses reaching beyond the door for any sort of movement but... nothing. It was useless to even try.
The vibrations only seemed to get more intense. At one point, Deimos felt that it wouldn't be his own fallacy that caused him to fall but the earthquake-like tremors that shook his containment cell, his leg muscles straining to hold himself up until he heard a noise. A woman, petite and certainly not unpretty, broke down the cell door like nothing nad over his shoulder; Deimos could see the bloodied body of a guard. Ah.
It was a break-out. Good, Deimos thought. It was getting sort of boring in here. He held still as the woman broke through his chains with fire black as night. His muscles screamed in relief as he dropped from the stress position. Deimos did not reply to her quips, gingerly taking the box from her hand.
As soon as he opened the box, Deimos felt a rush of energy; black sand pooling out into the air like liquid; shimmering and expanding. The beautiful thing about his sand was that it didn't matter how little he got his hands on; it drew its energy from him, it was his essence, and the stronger his will, the more was created. So that tiny handful of sand slithered through the room, festering under the bright lights until there was enough to circle his body like a viper. He was still weak from prolonged inexposure; he could feel it deep in his bones but what the strange woman had given him was enough to get him out of here.
Deimos didn't know who she was or why she was doing this, but he could even recognise that he felt something akin to grateful towards her. But, unfortunately, she was already gone by the time Deimos stepped from his cell, breathing in stale, bloody air and cracking various joints in his body. "How nice it is to be free." He snarled under his breath, stepping into the exposed chest cavity of the dead guard and twisting his foot.
By this stage, he would have uncovered a dark corner and travelled to another location, but something held him back; she had done him a favour, so why not repay the debt?
Deimos followed the noise of chaos until he came across her demonic form, breaking into every occupied cell. The end of the corridor was another story, a group of soldiers dashing into the room with heavy-duty machinery designed to take each and every person in here down. Yet, in the chaos, it seemed that nobody but Deimos had noticed.
Shadows, twisted and imposing, gathered around him as he stalked past the chaos, lips curled in disgust under his mask. Deimos' aura stretched down the hallway, the temperature seemingly dropping into the negatives. For the weak-minded, they'd hear nothing but a heartbeat, loud, racing, unstable, on the verge of exploding from panicked anxiety. There were too many targets for Deimos to focus on; instead of illusions, he exerted his presence until it was unbearable, and then he struck; the sand that had coiled around his body lashing out in deadly, serrated arrows.
(tw: mild graphic imagery)
One by one, the guards fell into a puddle of their own bloodied entrails and vomit, dead before they even hit the ground. Truely a remarkable sight, after all the they'd put him through. They deserved a more prolonged death, but Deimos understood that time was of the essence. This wasn't the time to play with his food if he wanted to get out of this hell forsaken .
He'd help this woman get everybody out but after that... Well, it seemed that perhaps a conversation was required.
@【 ᴠ 】seonghwa p。 Just as what she expected, the bunker looks harder to infiltrate at first but since Yeji hired professional con-artists, hackers and informant, she's able to get inside the bunker smoothly. She had been planning this infiltration for a year and a half, this takes time and planning when she will be executing this plan. She works on her own, a small yet strong groups of villain who sided her and her idea about destroying the heroes' reputation. The hacker even made a fake identity for her as one of the security guards, also copying villain reports in every containment cells. One catches her eye, the villain they called, Deimos. The one who can create chaos just like Yeji does, she wanted him to add more destruction and that's what mostly villains wanted but Deimos is different. He will most likely be useful against stronger heroes.
When the hydraulic doors opened, Yeji was already wearing a guard's uniform and acted perfectly like other guards do. She walked inside the halls where there are each containment cells with the names engraved on every doors. The woman then starts working by going on to the patrol routes, she was checking if the patrols are doing the same way where they are destined to guard.
Then she looked at the time and when the clock ticks to 12, a vibration was felt through the metal walls of the bunker. It started. The diversion started. She heard one of the guards starts shouting that a group of villains wreck havoc nearby the bunker, of course, they know the drill. They guarded up the entrance but they never put the area on lockdown, they assume that the heroes will be busy fighting the villains in the open area. Little did they know that one major villain is already inside the bunker.
She could only smirk at it before she sneaks her way to the cells until she find the name DEIMOS. When she was about to touch the rune that was engraved in the door, one guard halted her. "What do you think you're doing? Are you new here?" He asked with a firm tone while looking at the other, Yeji blinked and hesitantly nodding, "Uh, yes. I'm one of the few rookies on their first day here." She told him before giving him the fake ID, naming herself as Oh Jiyoon. He skeptically looked at her before sighing, giving back the ID to her. "Your first day will get you in trouble, touching a single skin in that door will get you to detention. You hear me?" He told him and she nodded, "Yes, sir. I'll keep that in mind." Before she straightened up and salute to him before he turned his feet and was about to walk away.
Yeji then transforms her right hand into a huge demonic claws before he back stabbed the guard and covering his mouth then he fell and dead on the spot, "Now there's trouble." She spoke before she touched the rune, when she felt a strong sense of order not to free the said villain, she scratches the rune with her demonic claws, breaking the spell that binds the villain. Most of the guards stands in front of the bunker to guard the entrance and prepares if the villain from the outside attacks their base, this is an opportunity that Yeji wants, they were assuming that the villains will set foot to the bunker. Then she opens the door using the keycard of one of the soldiers she killed just now to see how bright the room is, and in the center, he sees a man restrained with crucifix all over him. When Yeji was about to step in, she felt the burning sensation on her right arm, this room has divine energy to keep the villain more. She reverts her hand back to normal before stepping inside to see the man named, "Deimos... right?" she called him.
The hacker hacked the security cameras inside their room for them to not alert the guards, she looked around the area and she sees all the crucifix were hanging around the room. She smirks, "Petty things like this ain't worth it." She commented at the room they were in before looking back at him. "Don't move."
She snaps her fingers and a dozen of black fire appeared out of nowhere, burning the crucifixes along with the restraints around him, not burning the man. "It's time for your early parole." Yeji then gets from her pocket, it was a small box containing of black sand, even though it's small and few, it's enough for him to break out. "It's not enough but it would suffice for your escape."
Then she turns her back once she gave him a present before she transformed into a grotesque male demon and she starts to break the every cells she could see. Freeing the villains they had held captive.
