28 Alistair Companion Mission End part 4 2/2. (1/2)

The Order members and Church people there actively fought on the side of the demon. The sucky part it was the demon from the portal the previous day or week. I forgot to clarify the actual time that passed. I am glad he was wounded he looked like trouble still.

Alma and Tietra were held in the windmill entrance by a Squire. I could only assume it was Gustav.

A bolt cut through the air and flew out striking Tietra in the bosom. She went limp immediately.

”This is crazy. You bastards go too far!” Gustav yelled at the crossbowman.

A second bolt went out flying towards Alma but was interrupted by Milleuda coming out of the windmill. She was bloody and heavily injured. She pushed Alma down from the platform down into the snow. The bolt connected right in Milleuda's throat.

Milleuda looked out as she held her throat. I told her, that tenacity will be her undoing.

”You filthy Nobles. No its better to call you what you are. You are Demon's!”

”How can you live as you do and hold your heads high?”

”We are not chattel! We are humans, no less than you!

”Cough...j.uuu...ss...t be..ca..us..e y..ou we..re bor..n bet..wee..n a different set of walls than us.” Milleuda looked up to the sky.

”Gasp.. gasp.. Brother... I am sorry..” Milleuda looked back down at the Noble. She gathered her strength again. For a split second, I thought I saw a type of cat behind her.

”Do you know what it means to hunger? To live off broth and grass.. tsk.. blargh..” She coughed up more blood at the end.

”Why must we be made to starve, that you may grow fat? You call us thieves? But it is you all who steal from us,... the right to live! We never stood a chance went people like you alive.” She stumbled and fell back next to Tietra.

”Filthy cur! To hell with you!” Ramza and Delita said at the same time. They both went into a frenzy. They slashed against the Order troops near them.

A member of the Order cut into Delita striking him in the side. Ramza runs up cutting the assailant down trying to assist Delita.

”Delita you are critically wounded. Control yourself, my friend.” Ramza says to Delita with care. He outstretches his hand to assist him.

”Smack,” Ramza hand is knocked away with Delita's sword.

Delita screamed at Ramza. ”Speak not to me! When that fool falls, you, the Order all of them are next. My vengeance will not die till you all are dead!”

”Delita.. why..” Ramza said somberly.

”Alma!!” Allistair yelled. A silhouette of a dog appeared behind him. Quite large, bigger than the previous one. The magic washed out of him he started running to where Alma was.

He could move again. Don't tell me its the power of love. If so I am royally screwed. I took a deep breath and focus on my soul power.

'I have been waiting for you to call my name! Acknowledge me! Say the words' A voice whispered to me.

”I am thou... Thou art I... From the sea of my mind and heart, I come. You are the judgment for this world. And I am your sword-bearing messenger! Come forth Alita!” I yelled out.

My Eldar sword appeared in my hand. It was restored completely. The Banner appeared from my inventory showing a giant wolf on it. The Banner wrapped around my back turning into a cape.

I looked to the demon. And grinned. 'Man, it kind of sucks realizing I am not a good renegade person. Guess its' paragon now. But then again I can still make renegade choices ah well.' I thought to myself. I was never really a badass. Just someone who makes choices based on his emotions. Well, time to get this done.

I pulled more biotic strands into myself. I could feel a tearing sensation journey down my cheeks from my eyes. I pulled in the power until I could not contain it anymore. I let it pour outward in one pulse. The biotic strands swept out pushing the snow in all directions.

”We will represent cleansing, choice, and ultimately, judgment,” I said to everyone here.

System: Alita has taken the form as your Persona. This is a high-level arcana that has been given to you. Congratulations on going through a radical change, of self.

”Whew. I could move again.” I said as I stretched my neck around and moved my fingers.

”What the hell...” I could feel a pleasant sensation coming from my core.

I looked over to Alistair. ”This is not what I thought it was gonna be.” I activate my abilities they flowed over me easily. I coated my arms in misty fist and legs in soul/pyscho power. My biotics gathered as a shield on my left arm with magic coating it.

”Sorry boss, this is so different than what happened while I was here. But..”Alistair said as he looked back down at the young woman in his hands.

Most likely thinking about Alma. ”Don't worry about it. In for a penny in for a pound. We will take care of these people, then head back. Yah know..” I said as I looked at him sternly. ”We can take her back with us. It is definitely better than this place. Think about it. With the knowledge you have which place is better. Here or back with the crew.”

”Back with the crew. There is violence there but.. the future here is terrible. Also, the path you have laid out will take us somewhere else. Lot's of war.... is better than a life of running. Let's take care of them and get out of here.” Alistair said resolutely. ”My family is safe. And Alma is right behind me. I will not falter. This corrupt Church will be stopped here.”

”Goodman. Let's do it to it.”I said as I charged the demon. ”Allistair help them against the Church and Order. My squad listen up and regroup do you hear me! That includes you too Alistair and company. Jaina fall back and tend to your wounds. Once you are able to, rejoin the battle.” I said. I couldn't look to see if they followed my orders. I made physical contact with the demon.

”Ah, Sunstrider.. such.. a pleasure to meet you again. I will enjoy feasting on your soul. The same as I did your parents.” The demon said sinerstly.

His tongue stretched in a slithering motion. At first glance, one would think it was harmless. But the drops coming from its mouth were toxic on closer look.

I felt a quick rage almost overtake me. My mind fought with the fact it killed my parents. I knew It shouldn't hurt but it did. They weren't really my parent's just implanted memories to help adjust. This would get me killed if I didn't focus. I quickly placed my shield to block it. And quickly swung my sword downward to cut the appendage.

The tongue speeds up and slapped against my raised shield. I took a slight step back from the impact. Bending a little at the waist and knee I gathered some energy. Twisting back from the downward strike I swung out and up like a whip, with full force cutting the tongue off. Puss flew into the air in an arc. Parts landed on my shield. And some landed on a few Church officials.

When it landed on them I saw it soak into there skin. A greenish yellow hue flashed into there eyes.

”Raaggh! You filthy creature you will pay dearly!” The demon screamed as he retracted his tongue back inside.

I was quite happy it didn't instantly regenerate. If so this would be a war of attrition. The demon came charging downward with its hands. ”I will crush you Sunstrider!”

I placed my left-hand shield up to take the strength of the blow. My legs were ready to spring back. I created a slight spring system around my legs to help cushion and get ready to bounce out. Also had my right hand ready to strike when I move back.

The hands came crashing down. Almost causing my shield to break away.

”Ahh shit,” I said as felt the strain on my legs and soul/pyscho springs start to give way.

”You are weak boy. Before your ancestors were even born, me and my kin ripped through the countryside. We killed as we please.” The demon said as it raised its hand again. ”Killing you will be the best thing ever. And after you, I will kill all the others here. The woman with the fireballs looks like she will give delicious screams. I can't wait.”

His fist came down gathering strange energy with it. 'He was using despair as an actual weapon. It was a tangible emotion. How the hell do you guard against that?'

It pulled in the raw emotions bolstering itself. Right as the fist came down close, I jumped away with the remainder of my soul/pyscho springs.

”Boom!” The blow struck the ground with enough force to send me flying with the shockwave.I missed my chance to strike with the sword. But I wouldn't give up the chance to miss the next blow. I focus my energy from my shield, adding it to my Concussive Shot I fired it at the demon's mouth. I tucked myself togethor in the air to send myself further away.

'Man I should really dive deeper into my Lin Kuei training. The moves from it are letting me move around like a squirrel on the battlefield. I could always join the circus if I can't make it as a soldier.' I thought to myself as I try to form a plan.

”Pow,” A direct hit on its face. Chunks of its mouth dropped down. It turned into puss on the ground.

”You foolish creature! I will devour you!” It slurred its words as it charged at me.

I skidded across the fresh snow. I barely had enough time to recover from the landing. The demon was right in front of as soon as I stood up. Green bile came out of its mouth. It spits a loogie at me.
