What remained of Matt's face opened up in a wail of agony as his bones were smashed. More mouths opened up along his limbs to join in a crescendo of cries as the pulpy organic monstronsitry that had once been a man kept shifting and changing shape. Inside the creature the soul still belonged to Matthew Brady, and he felt every moment of pain inflicted upon it. (Think Akira.)
The terrible creature continued to grow as tumors and boils errupted along it's mutated flesh. The sword stabbed through it's stomach but the flesh wrapped around the weapon and held it tight inside itself as tendrils lined with razor sharp teeth struck at the dragon's thick scaled hide.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garrett eyed the demon's spawn facing off against the dragon and winced. That's gotta suck, he thought and wondered what the young man had been so tempted by to foolishly make a deal with a devil.
Returning his attention to the demon called Alexander, Garrett started shooting rounds off...

The teeth managed to pierce Arinus' hide, drawing blood in small rivers. He grunted in pain, then punched and clawed at Matt. He managed to end the grapple, rolling back.
As Matt charged again, Arinus opened his maw wide. A cone of rippling air seemed to spread from the dragon's mouth. Everything it touched was rent apart as the wave closed alarmingly fast at Matt.

In a black smoke Alexander pulled himself back together again and he couldn't help but laugh at the vampire before him. "Come little one. I am so much older then you. Do you really think I haven't thought everything threw first?" As Garrett opened fire he waved his hands in midair stopping them before they reached him. He then lowered his hand as he watched them fall to the ground.
"You think its check mate think again little girl. You might have Elizabeth's body but her mind well that is else where. That so called power you hold is just for show. Come now you are so young, so full of life that you keep charging at me like a bull. Think little girl. You have brains, right? Use them." He now walked like a within a dark black cloud. If anyone tried to hit him THEN THEY WOULD GO THREW HIM like he was a ghost. He saw Matt on he ground and from where he stood repeating a healing spell. He was fine within seconds then turned back to the vampire. "You might want to go check on your friend my dear. Right now there is NO POSSIBLE WAY for you to help her. I wonder if she likes making deals or bets. I'm kind of course to find that out." He just stood there smiling at her. "You do have time by the way to save her. There is time limit. You have 12 hours. So what is the next plan of action kids? I'm just "dying" to know." He chuckled to himself hearing the pun that infact he was already dead so what did it matter. Oh how he was truly having fun. He saw now why his master had so much fun with that half-breed. This was his day though and soon it will all be his.
...............
Elizabeth was now in chains walking down a long dark hallway with two big demons walking her down. Now noticing the huge red double doors at the end of the hall they suddenly opened as they got close to them and closed as they enter the room. She scanned the room only to find a huge fire place and huge red chair and desk sitting in front of it. As they walked her over they made her stand there as she kept her gaze on the back of the chair.
It suddenly turned as there sat another demon with huge red horns that was a big as a house. Well maybe not that big but still the man himself was huge.
"Hello, there Lizz."
"Who....who are you?"
"Don't you know? I am the prince of darkness himself."
Her eyes grew wide. "Am I dead?"
"Oh, hell no," He said chuckling. "Please if you were dead this is the last place you would be."
"So why am I here then?"
"Well, because your Miss Sally didn't play by the rules of the game. So in terms you still had always belonged to the Brady Family."
"What!" She shouted.
The devil smiled. "Yes. Which means Mr. Brady's death is on your head little girl. He shouldn't have died yet. He still had so much on his plate he had to do for me and now Matt is son owns you. We have you here to tell you that that contact still is in tack and you have to honor it."
Pure horror and fear crossed her face. She felt like screaming but her voice was no where to be found.
"Well little girl? What's it gonna be then? Are you going to honor it or what?"
"How do I know you are telling the truth?" Elizabeth finally snapped out.
"Well for one, one of my boys heard her talking about it. I can let you go back once we are done here and I would like you to ask her yourself."
"So if it is all just bullsh*t will you and everyone else let me be?"
"Yes," the devil said with a big grin. "And if it is true?"
"I will honor it," Elizabeth said with her head lowered.
"Good girl. By the way there is someone who wants to say hello to you before you go."
(OOC: Before anyone posts I want Bucks to post sense it would be Matt's father who he was talking about right here. So please DO NOT POST until after Bucks does. Thanks)

(OOC: wow I just realised this thread has made 10 pages! Quite a popular one then!)
In a searing gust of air a figure in flames appeared. He was like a mirage in a desert as a very familiar face shimmered into view. The same moustache, the same square jaw and thick eyebrows of Brady himself.
"Hello pretty girl." He spoke in a deep, raspy voice. Like his mouth was completely devoid of any moisture. “It’s hot down here, isn’t it? They burn me day and night. I suffer because of you!” A dark, thick appendage that half resembled a tongue stuck out of his mouth suddenly and worked it’s way around his cracked lips. He cackled with insane delight.
“You learn to love it after so long. The torture. I can’t wait until you are here with me.. Matty boy failed… but you and I will have eternity in hell to get to know one another! You know this is where you belong! You’re a dirty girl. You’re tarnished. Wh0re damn you!”
With one last throaty laugh, the flames began to consume his image. “Be seein’ ya.”
Then Brady was gone…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Matt’s corrupted body flew apart in wake of the dragon’s roar, it was instantly remade by the demon’s magic. He formed a larger creature that showed no hint what-so-ever of the man it had once been. It was a mess of flesh, teeth, claws and tentacles as it came at the dragon with renewed vigour… whip-like tentacles of serrated teeth slashed at it’s enemy…
Nearby Garrett watched in horror as the demon waved aside his bullets like they were under his control. “Just leave her alone dammit!” He growled and started firing again. He was nearing the end of his clip and his sanity. He had been through some of the worst war zones imaginable in the armed forces… but nothing compared to this by a long shot. There didn’t seem to be any way of touching the demon. He even threw his empty gun at the black cloud enveloping the demon but it went straight through him.
“C’mon man!” He shouted and ran at the demon swinging his fists. He fell through the demon and stumbled across the floor. He made a second then a third attempt. Each time his fists swung through thin air. “face me coward!”

Elizabeth froze. Seeing that man again, hearing his voice, oh how she wanted to scream. When he disappeared she turned to the evil demon over lord. "Please, I...I dont belong here! I...I dont belong..." her voice drifted off as she began to cry.
The devil's was sounded deep and dark. "Oh, come now little one. Its not all that bad right? I mean your friend loves it here, right?"
The devil snapped his fingers as another flash of smoke as a woman fell to the ground. Elizabeth turned and saw her friend that had saved her life that was more of a mother to her then any other person alive. Miss Sally was tied and gagged as her eyes screamed in pure fear. As they just starred at one another Elizabeth finally find her strength and began to rush over to her but the devil snapped his fingers again as Miss Sally disappeared in the same cloud of smoke she had entered in on.
Elizabeth dropped to her knees as she had reached the spot that Miss Sally had been just moments ago and turned to the devil. Anger flashed across her face. "You son of a b*tch! Where is she?"
The devil chuckled. "In the firrey fields my sweet where he belongs now."
The words made Elizabeth's eyes wide in fear and panic. "No," was the only word she could push out.
He smiled big. "What? She was the cause of Mr. Brady's death. The contract you signed in blood is still valid sense that b*tch cheated. It took us awhile to figure it out and lucky for us a man who was there that night died and made me a deal I couldn't pass up. I wanted to tell you myself that you still belong to Mr. Brady and his son who rightfully owns you."
Elizabeth was in shock. She had no idea what to say or do. Miss Sally was dead. Murdered most likely. By Matt? She wasn't sure sense they weren't saying but she believed it was him. Then thinking of Matt. Oh god say it isn't so. She was forced into putting her bloody finger on that piece of paper. How can it still be valid? Miss Sally won but they said she had cheated. Was that the thing she was going to tell her and then hesitated about it? Dammit! Why? Why was this all real? She was happy. She had a man. Then Garrett popped into her head. Once again her attention turned back to the devil as he spoke.
"Oh and right now we are making a deal with your new boy toy. My apprentice is asking him to put his soul on the line for yours. If he wins your free and that is it but if he loses then his soul is mine and you remain with Matt. Beautiful, right? I love being me."
The rage now began to grow. "You mother f*cker! I will not let that happen. There is no way..."
"Calm yourself sweetness. There is no way for you to stop this from happening if he goes for it. Trust me. It will be fare. There isn't a time that I haven't been." He said as she chuckled in his head thinking about Amira. But he did get in trouble for that and really was no longer aloud to go against his word. At least he still could play the game and try to win. "So all we can do is wait and see if your boy toy will be your knight in shinning armor or if he will let you go. I am so excited to find out."
He snapped his fingers and a screen came up floating in med-air. A demon stood before th vampire woman and Garrett. She could see a monster and the other girl in the back ground fighting and feared for the worset for her too. She was so scared and wished he was with her to hold her. In a way she wanted him to save her but not like this. There had to be another way but deep down she knew this was the only way. Hopefully he would keep his word by playing far. Only time will tell.
.........................................................
Alexander faced the human man with a huge smile upon his demonish face. He put up his hands to try and calm the man down. "Whoa, there boy. Calm down, ok? It's not my fault. My master found out that the contract we layed down is still valid. That b*tch that stole her from us had cheated so she still belongs to the Brady family. That boy over there owns her."
He then looked to the vampire. "So, no matter what you can not free her unless..." he let his voice drift off for a moment. Thinking he if he should try and see how far they would go or not if it was worth it. His master would do it.
He looked back to the human man. "If you bet something twice as what she is worth and win. Every bet of what we want is your soul. There is no way to win it back unless someone else bets their own. A chance for us to win another one is always joyful. The thing is vampire your dead. So the human as it were would need to bet his own and win getting no help from you. That is the only way."

Livia laughed. "And I thought demons were smart!" She smiled a grin of triumph, her fangs their full inch long creepiness.
"I still have a soul. As do all vampires. Most just refuse to use it. If I didn't have one, I couldn't be. A soul is what makes us all unique. Also, one requires a soul to use magic...Since vampires are incapable of taking another's soul like a demon, they would have to have a soul, no?"
She smiled again. "So, my little dimwitted - and I dearly hope distant- cousin. I offer you my own soul, with no moral reservation or mental evasion." She thought for a moment more, then nodded. "Would you like that in writing? Triplicate, perhaps? Or in blood? I can provide all of these..."
(Checkmate!!!)

Arinus was crushed beneath Matt's bulk, his sword flying out of his hand. He wheezed as tendrils and claws raked across his body. He felt his mind slipping away from his body, allowing him to ignore the pain as he muttered a spell in ancient Draconic. Sparks of pure magic leaped across the grappled pair, along with an ominous crackling and low droning sound. "Forgive me..." Arinus managed to say, hands clamping powerfully on Matt's body. The energy rippled out, completely demolishing the house. In the duo's place was a large crater belching smoke. *** Arinus kept Matt close to him as they rushed through the very fabric of the Omniverse, speeding through uncountable parallel worlds and strange dimensions in between. With a roar that was more felt than heard, Arinus abruptly ended the traveling spell. With an earsplitting crack, the two tumbled onto a cracked and barren landscape. Behind them was the crumbling outline of what looked like a large ornate rectangle standing erect in the harsh earth. "There is no magic here, and the only way out was through that portal...which I destroyed."Arinus coughed, in his true form: that of a massive platinum dragon. Before him lied Matt, his demonic form gone to give way to his original human shape. Arinus looked up at the dusty looking sun, which seemed to be slightly past midday. "And at night...well, let's just say there have been no survivors of that cold darkness. So, human, how do you want to spend your last few hours before terrors beyond any creature's mind devour us?"

His mind had gone awol as his flesh was no longer inhabited by his own soul. He was a shade of his former self that carried his likeness but not his personality. Eyes that had belonged to the human called Matt Brady looked about blankly. The shell of flesh shivered as he wrapped his arms around himself, standing naked from head to foot in a place he did not recognise.
"Who are you?" He asked the dragon, trembling. "How did I get here? I'm so tired. So very tired." He sat down on the floor with his head in his hands...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garrett looked from Livia to the demon as they played out a very dangerous game of wits. His hands were still clenched into angry fists that he kept by his sides but he didn't try to lunge at the demon anymore. He knew when he was fighting a losing battle and decided to save his strength.
It seemed the demon wanted him to bet his own soul but Livia revealed that vampires also have a soul. But wasn't theirs tainted somehow? Did becoming a vampire not change what you were completely? He was certainly no expert, but it was what he had been lead to believe.
Playing it safe for now he said nothing. He waited to see if the demon would accept Livia to chance her soul. If the demon refused he had a tough choice ahead of him...
Did he love Elizabeth enough to chance his own damnation?

"Damn...that was a possibility..." Arinus groaned, amethyst eyes scanning the landscape. "Well, so much for my brilliant plan..."

Alexander felt Matt here one moment and gone the next. It was like he was torn from this world and destroy. His master would not be pleased with that one though Matt might be in hell after all his soul did belong to him and if he wanted he could bring him back if not in his own body in another form to take back his own. It could be done and it might happen again.
He showed no emotion on his face when as he said to the vampire, "You give yourself willing without a second thought which means you have no doubt. I don't want that nor do I want you. I want the man. The human to bet his own soul. If he refuses then Elizabeth belongs to us. It is is choice and his choice alone. Like I said the prince is forced to play fair." He turned to Garrett. "I sense your doubt but also your straight. You are truly unpredicable which makes you the best to fight in this battle to come. If you truly love her then remember what you to had and shared together. Her past if filled of torture and being used by men of all races. If you truly love her be that white knight. You get to call all the shots but who you get to fight against. That is our choice but you get to chose where you want to fight, what your three changes are, and what weapon you want for each of those levels. The ball is in your court now. What is it going to be?"
..............
Elizabeth watched in horror and silent. She didn't want him to do this for her because she didn't feel worth it. God, she was a fool to this she would find happeness. He was to good to be true and now she watched and waited. If she chose not to she would understand. Her life was full of disappoint. Knowing that white knight was just in fairy tales and she had none. This was her fate and she would see it head on if he turned away. But, her feeling for him would never die and she hoped he would never forget her like she would never forget that one moment of happeness he had given to her. Hope.

Matt raised his head slightly and stared blankly off towards the horizon. "Something comes..." He muttered. Suddenly the ground beneath them began to shake as something large seemed to be heading in their direction...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garrett tensed his jaw as he stared at Alexander. He had a feeling the demon wouldn't have accepted the vampire. She had a better chance at this than he had and he doubted this would be a fair fight. Grey eyes shining with resolve he nodded.
"Okay. I'll bet you my soul I'll be able to kick the a$$ of anything you throw at me."

"Mmm..." Arinus mused, sighing darkly. Behind him, in the shell of the gate, a single spark leaped. His ears pricked at the sound, head swiveling to stare back at the solitary blue streak. "About time..." With a massive tearing sound, a portal opened.
"You went to the other side of the Omniverse. It took some time."
Arinus picked up Matt's shell in one paw, then walked through the portal. He was abruptly in a strange looking place: shining blue crystals seemed to make up the massive room, their brilliance almost blinding...but not to the lone man standing before the dragon.
"Arinus." The man said, eyes burning with controlled Energy.
"Jias-Val." Arinus said respectfully to the Ancient of Energy. "How long until we get back?"
"Unknown. The multiversal flux is particularly violent today. We could be back in a minute, or several months."
"I don't have that long."
"Relax, Shan is working on it."
Arinus nodded, his eyes turning to look at Matt...or what was left of him. "Can you help him, Jias?"
Jias' eyes literally scanned Matt's body. He thought for a moment before speaking. "I can't cure him, not completely. But I can do something..." He aimed his hand at Matt, palm facing the human's shell. A small jolt of Energy sparked to Matt, making him wince as it entered his core.
"What did you do?" Arinus inquired.
"A small spark of free will and hope. Depending on how strong he is, it may or may not help very much." Jias replied, looking down at his hand. Sparks flowed freely over the skin, then gradually faded away.
"At least it's something."

He hadn't really been paying much attention to what was happening around himself. Travelling through portals mattered little to something that had no purpose to exist like he did. He had no identity, no desires and no memories. He was nobody...
Suddenly the jolt of energy shocked his lean frame and he shuddered as an electrical buzz ran throughout his core.
Blinking away the stinging sensations in his eyes, the souless being they called Matt wrapped his arms around himself and shivered. He looked down at his naked body as if realising for the first time and frowned at the two beings nearby. "Hey, somebody wanna tell me just what the heck is goin' on? Where the hell are my clothes?" He demanded to know. "How did I get here?"

"Do you remember anything of your transformation?" Arinus inquired, now back in his human form. "It can be quite jarring."

Post by Bucks23 on Feb 5, 2012 17:10:05 GMT -5
"Transformation? What are you on abou--?" A sudden wave of dizzyness hit him and he swayed on his feet for a moment. He managed to remain standing but he was glaring half angrily and half pleading at the man before who him who had been a dragon moments ago.
"Look I don't know who I am or what the f**k I'm doing here but I'm freezing... any chance of some clothes?"
