Chapter 80: The Demon Mask Strikes (1/2)
Harmony had just handled the sudden ambush finishing off the last members of the Cult. Tempo threw the last lot to the ground wiping his hands as he began to return to his standard size. ”Bah, suck weaklings. Their fighting style had no rhythm, too sloppy.”
Melody crouched down reading through the chat smirking. ”Seems the fan loved it though. We've shot up with followers. Seem this plan worked out Harmony.”
”Of course, it did, I came up with the plan.”
Vivace adjusted the bows in her hair, applying the last of her makeup. ”I wonder if those Rhapsody members are alright?”
”The way they act is so unfocused and random. It will be their downfall.” Melody input.
”I suppose it fits the name they chose though.”
As the fog began to thicken Tempo stood up looking further in. ”Someone is coming?” The others looked towards the fog although alerted; they were relaxed ready for anything. From the fog, Emil came running panting looking around lost. ”Speak of the devil. Here is another Rhapsody boy.”
Emil turned around coughing. ”Where the hell am I now? I was just with Alton. Gemini attacked us!”
Vivace scoffed closing her mirror. ”Sounds like to me all of you members of Rhapsody are unfocused swine don't they.”
”Now, Vivace no need to be so mean in front of our guest. We were just about to finish off our picnic if you want to join us?”
Emil tilted his head confused. ”You guys brought a picnic to a raid? That's awesome!” He plopped himself down, rolling up his sleeves. ”Wow, there's so much.”
Tempo laughed patting Emil on the back. ”I like this one; he's much more understanding than that Percy boy. They all need to loosen up. Here, pork sandwich makes you strong like me.”
Emil took the sandwich biting a large bite. ”So, none of you guys have seen my team?”
”No, the little boy was taken by the Cult leader and thug went after them. We took care of the rest and decided to finish our food.”
Emil chuckled nodding. ”I like that. Everyone in team Rhapsody is so action, man, go, go, go. Sometimes it's nice just to take a break, you know?”
”Aren't you worried about your friend Alton?” Vivace asked.
”Alton? Please, that motherfucker is a beast. A real MVP. Out of all the noobs on my team, I'd be more worried about the Cult if Alton is their enemy.”
”He's the real deal then?” Harmony questioned.
”I'll say, he's giving the Montagues and the Dawn family a run for their money. He was able to stay toe to toe with Vanguard in a one on one fight as well as take me down. So yeah he's the real deal.”
The group began to laugh as Harmony looked confused, turning to Melody who looked troubled. ”Melody are you alright?”
Melody gagged choking as she was lifted in the air clawing at her throat. She kept fighting for air before her neck was snapped. Tossed to the side, a figure in the demon mask stood their hand illumining a green glow. ”Melody!” Vivace screamed. ”You bastard! I'll make you pay for that!” She stood up, bouncing left and right to a beat, as the beat increased, she sped up before flying around at supersonic speed. The Demon masked figure stood still not moving. As the beat stopped, Vivace raced forward striking. The villain held their hand up, stopping Vivace on the spot. A snapping sound was heard as she was slammed to the ground serval times before thrown to the side.
Emil looked paranoid as he gulped. ”I know you. You're the villain who's been causing a racket in the Dawn family. The villain who killed the Phantom Streamer. You're a member of the Syndicate family.”
The demon mask clapped their hands speaking in a robotic voice changer. ”You've done your research, Montague. Although I'm sure, all of that was because of your leader's interest. Someone like you will never be a true member of Team Rhapsody.”
Tempo stood up tending to Vivace who was in bad shape with a broken spine. He began to grow in strength and size. ”You've picked the wrong fight, my little demonic friend. Tempo will show no mercy to barbaric monsters like yourself.
The demon mask looked up at Tempo giggling like a schoolgirl. ”What fun this could be. I've been so cooped up playing the role of a good girl that I really want to let loose. Let's have a little dance. I'll even let you be my partner.”
Tempo howled laughing uncontrollably. ”You are a cocky one, aren't you little one.” Tempo swung his arm around, cupping the villain around spinning her around, throwing her into the wall. The Demon mask flipped around, holding her hands up performing a perfect stance. ”Think you are the real shit, are you?”
The Demon mask began spinning around like a ballerina on her tippytoes. ”I do admit I find all of this one big game. Toying with my prey like this is just so orgasmic.” She flips over another attack going into the splits pulling herself back up. She began running her hands over her mask panting. ”This rush I feel, knowing my life could be over any second. Two lives in the balance are just too much!”
