As he waited for the rest to gather he looked around, he smelt the air, a very unhuman thing to do, but his scent was much better than any humans. Closing his eyes he allowed his mind to stretch out before them he was searching for the aura he wanted. It was harder to do when you didn't have the scent of the one you wanted imprinted to memory. Little flashes of light indicated the lesser demons...
His eyes snapped open giving a frown his eyebrows narrowing slightly. It couldn't be.... no. He shook his head slowly before he turned to face the other spawn.
"The new sights, sounds and smells will all be a bit overwhelming to some," He started his eyes flickering over those who had heightened senses of smell and hearing. "And though some creatures may appear harmless enough, please let me remind you this is Hell. Nothing here is completely harmless, everything has a means to protect itself. " He indicated with a nod of his head.
His golden eyes looked over at all the spawn there, before he locked on Zuba, who was still wearing that ridiculous get up. But it occured to him...that he hadn't marked her. Though her aura was so...subtle he doubted she could raise much of an alarm around them...must be the humility aspect of her DNA.
Rolling his wrists as if preparing for battle the man adjusted the strap on his shoulder before he lifted his head slightly into the air giving another breath. He didn't smell him...that was good. For the moment anyway. He had to of been mistaken anyway...
"I want you to all stick close together, her lair is not far from here, though there is no garuntee's she will be there. She maybe off hunting...or picking fights with others. As soon as we enter her territory she will probably be able to pick up our scent. The magic I used hides our auras...but not our smell." He explained as he half turned.
"If any of your even speculate you see her I want you to alert me immediately," He instructed, though he doubted anyone would be able to se her before he did.
He took a step forward and led the way. His head held high in this accursid heat, he moved forward like a man who knew what he was doing with little to fear.
***
The landscape was rather barren, with a lot of debri and a jumble of broken rocks. A few trees, twisted and ugly sprung from the ground like boney fingers clawing their way up into the air. Any plant life seemed to be alive...or have a means to survive . The tree's even... had circular openings with jagged teeth to catch prey. Usually using some sort of bait to catch food.
Vampy ignored most of these things as they were all normal to him, he had only one objective and that was the wrath demoness. He paused when he noticed quite a few bones laying around....all seemingly haphazard though it was clearly marking the beggining of her territory.
"Looks like we are here," He stated with sigh as he then turned to face the spawn.
"Keep on the alert, I would rather we catch her by surprise but with a group like this I doubt that will occur. I will emphasis her speed. She is has everything and nothing in common with Shar for those of you who met the wrath demon. Shar was baised on pure physical prowress, he could run fast...but this female is by far faster than he was." He explained as he then rolled his shoulders and gave the group a grin.
"Any questions?"
(everyone roll a d100 this turn, as this will determine who will first spot her for next turn of posts)

Duncan watched the group and moved slowly to put himself at a spot where he would be at the outside of the group. If the female demon was as dangerous as it sounded he wanted to have the first shot at stopping her, before she got her claws on the girl in the ragged armor or the Ciaran and his strange, white haired friend that seemed to be animal watching at the moment. There were many here that seemed... soft, he could only hope that maybe they had hidden talents that his eyes couldn't pick up on.
He started forward as the group started to move, his eyes looking in all directions, he didn't want to be caught off guard in this situation. The wrath demon lifted his head and breathed in deeply, trying to find the scent of the demoness that was out there as they walked into her territory. He felt a prickling up his back... the idea of walking into another demon's territory caused him to feel cold all over despite the heat. He knew how angry he would feel if someone came wandering into his home without being invited, to have a group of people do that would annoy him even more.
Duncan's hands itched, clenching a bit as Vampy explained to them how the demoness was based on speed, he didn't like that... what if she was fast enough that he didn't see her? What if she got passed him? His teeth gritted, making a little grinding as they moved against each other before he paused to once more sniff at the air. He could smell something out there but he couldn't be sure if the scents were old or not, this area was a mix of a lot of different scents out there, more mixed up then back home. It made it hard to really decipher anything. What a pain but best he could do was keep his eyes open and keep searching for her.

Mareike briefly wondered if the demoness' speed was attributed to the way wrath came on suddenly or if she was just naturally must faster than Shar had been. of course a tiny part of her also wondered if she was faster than the diligence angel who was the other half of her DNA. Mareike herself knew she wasn't as strong as any full blooded thing that lived here but she was in and of herself a rather dangerous combination.
The maroon skinned girl moved to stand beside Duncan, they had met only briefly before, given that Duncan had been unconscious when she'd seen him the second time in the alleyway, and they were both of shars blood but she trusted him not to agitate her. Adriel's... lover was more mature than perhaps even Vampy and thus her best ally if one was needed.
" Work with me?" the words were soft and carried only the simple offer of protection and support. Between them they could watch all areas and even if they couldn't bring down the demoness without permission they'd make decent barriers between her and the weaker spawn.

Ciaran looking around the bare landscape and wondered how water could keep in the heat and knew if there was any it would be warm water. He knew that Sokan would hate it here as it was too dry for him to live, But Ciaran loved it as he hateing to be cold. Keeping to what Vampy was saying in mind. Then thinking about his magic and he wondered if he could use it when he needed or was it going to be stuporn, he also wondered to how powerful it was.
"So what are you looking at, Luthor?" he asked so as just Luthor could hear him as he also kept an eye on to were everyone was to make sure not to be left behind and to make sure he heard what Vampy saying to them.

Tykier searched the barren area carefully for the Wrath demoness. Knowing full well the danger that comes from her, being part Wrath himself. He gulped, looked behind him, he, even, looked up above the group. Ty wished he had brought the bow and arrows that he bought a couple weeks back. Those would have come in handy in trying to chase after the demoness.

Luthor glanced over at Ciaran for a moment then back again, "There is a..." He trailed off as he watched the lizard. The creature lifted its head up, looking around for a moment, then its scales seemed to shift colors to match the rocks that it was standing on before it seemed to blend in completely before it skittered away. The thing looked a little startled didn't it? Like it sensed something he did. He drew back, taking a step in closer to his friend, "There was just a lizard but... it left." And now he found himself scanning the area to try to figure out what it was that had chased the smaller animal off. He supposed that it could be most anything given they were in a rather dangerous place, it would appear as though everything here was wanting to eat them... even the trees looked as though they had teeth.
The white haired spawn was never happier then when they started to move again, that was until they started to get closer to the lair of the demoness. There were scattered bones around, they ranged in size but some of the skulls were from beasts bigger then any that he'd seen before in the Labs. He paused to look at one of them, lifting a foot to nudge at one that made even the new Gluttony demon appear small. The demoness must be an impressive sort of creature to be able to take down something like this. He lifted his hand up to take his pen from behind his ear, holding it in his hands, and hugged it to his chest as though he hoped it would protect him.
He looked over at Vampy as he started to explain some stuff to them and his wings gave a nervous fluttered, was the talking a good idea? Wouldn't she hear them? Then again if her senses were as good as Vampy made them out to be she already knew that they were here if she were around at the moment, "No questions from me." He finally answered, though his eyes were back to scanning back and forth.

'Zuba tugged at the neck of her armor, trying to cool off a little as she looked around, listening to Vampy. She paused a moment, hand twitching a bit before she asked her question. "How fast is she?" she asked, raising her voice a bit to make sure she was heard. She wanted to know whether she'd be looking for a person or a fast-moving blur. Personally, she was REALLY hoping for the first option.
She did not like the feel of this place. The bones were her first indicator that this was going to be OH so much fun. That, and the trees with gaping maws full of razor teeth weren't helping matters much. She tightened her grip on her sword, eyes scanning for any sign of movement.

(Duncan having scored the highest roll will be the first to notice and thusly only he needs to respond until my next post)
In the distance there was the sound of movement, though it wasn't anything quite so simple as foot steps...it sounded like...there was more than just the one demoness they were hunting for.
***
For the time being Mr. Vampy didn't seem to have noticed it yet. He was looked at the girl in armor Zuba.
"I can't exactly tell you. As I have never met her before, nor seen her but I can believe that she is faster than Shar and he was able to reach 45 mph in 2 seconds from a standing position." He explained, with a nod of his head.
He watched as the spawn kept up the alert trying to search for the demoness.

Duncan looked over at Mareike before he gave a nod of his head, "Sounds good." He murmured, looking around, sniffed at the air, then all of his eyes seemed to narrow as he heard something. Footsteps? He took a couple steps in that direction before he recalled what Vampy had said about staying together and he forced himself to stay still. He was having a hard time though, he knew something was out there... not just one thing, two things. He could hear it and had to know what was there so that he and his new partner in defense...
His hands twitched before he took a couple more creeping steps forward toward where he heard the sounds at. Vampy was still to busy babbling random, useless information so maybe he wouldn't noticed that Duncan was slipping forward to get a better look at what was going on.

The noises were getting louder and certianly more violent. Though there were few words past growling, gnashing of teeth and the distint violence in the air.
Beyond an outcrop of boulders in a small valley down below two demons were battling it out. One was obviously male, the other more lithe form female.
The male was in the center of the valley that...was upon closer inspection more of a large circle that had been pressed deep into the earth as if someone took a cookie cutter and taken a section of the ground away. There was the smell of ash something had been on fire....and the gnarled blacked tree's were evidence that a fire had been through here recently.
The large male, had red skin, black hair that mingeled with red streaks...like it had been dyed with the blood of his enemies. Taloned feet and hands, he stood or rather loomed over a slightly smaller figure who was darting back and forth attacking him with a vengence.
At first glance...the male would distinctly resemble a certian spawn at the facility. The blue outcropping of rock like skin covered his body like armor. There was a more dense collection across his face and chest and shoulders, double pair of wicked bones that curved from his back over his shoulders, and the strangest thing of all a pair of poorly treated feathery wings that sagged against his back.
He was snarling at the female he was up against who in contrast seemed just as colorful as her opponent. A mixture of dark grey, red, yellow and oranges, obsidian horns protruded from her forhead. Highly armored as well she seemed to have quite a few boney plates that covered her body, her tail was long..reptilian like ...acting like a whip as she turned on a dime to hit the other male with it.
How anyone especially Vampy hadn't of noticed the pair of conflicting and deadly aura's was.. strange. The male reached forward to grab the tail and let out a howl as she pulled it from his grasp with a sharp tug. The smell of blood filled the air.
It was very hard to keep track of her and suddenly she was then gone from sight.
Suddenly she was before Duncan, her back to him the large form of the female hunched over on the ground her tail lashing like an angry cat the very tip of her tail smacked Dunca's leg drawing a thin line of red from the very small razor sharp like teeth along the entire tail. So intent on her prey before her she didn't take a single notice of Duncan as suddenly she was gone again.
The other demon though was charging...straight for where she had been, straight for Duncan. Though he seemed more distracted by Duncan's appearance than he let on, he scrabeled to turn but his defenses falling due to the surprise the female was soon behind him long talon like fingers sinking into any cracks or spaces between his armor like hide.
The roar of pain was enough to alert everyone of their presence.
***
Vampy had turned when he noticed that Duncan was ...slipping off. Stubborn fool, course before he could say anything his eyes widened slightly. The sudden appearance of the demoness before Duncan caused him to jump into action,
"YOU!" He began to shout commands as he pointed to the other wrath spawn, "Go aid him!" He snapped though he knew how inexperienced they were with coming across full bloods he knew sometimes sheer numbers can cause the opponent to back off.
She was then gone. Dammit.
The roar made him worry, though he didn't doubt the demoness was probably giving the other quite a beating.
"Spread out! made a circle!" He ordered the silver hair man drawing out his golden pen that seemed to have shifted from the generic ball point to soemthing much more...elegant. More powerful.

Duncan watched, somewhat awed not to mentioned slightly enthralled by the scent of blood, as the two large demons duked it out. He slipped forward a little closer to get a better look at what was going on when the female got grabbed hold of by the male and howled in a manner that caused his heart to skip a beat. There was something about battle that had always excited him, he blamed the fact that he had Shar's blood coursing through his veins.
The woman yanked her tail free and then she was gone, Vampy hadn't been lying had he? She moved like the wind... after getting a look at the woman he was quite impressed... and maybe a little worried. Vampy seriously wanted to catch her and make spawn with her DNA? And he thought the spawn with Shar's blood were bad... imagine ones that looked like this female running around?
A hissing sound came from his lips when the female reappeared in front of him for a moment, he took a couple quick steps back to avoid behind hit again. He stomped his foot once and he quickly ignored the blood and slight pain, it wasn't a real wound compared to some things he'd had done to him... nothing compared to when he lost his wings. His eyes narrowed as she vanished and he found himself getting charged by the large male. As he watched him his trio of eyes got huge, "You..." He murmured, for a moment thrown... then he shook his head.
No, no... that couldn't be. Perhaps a similar breed but it wasn't the one he knew the colors, the size, the scent... they were all wrong. He barred his teeth and gave a snarling sound, digging in one foot as though preparing himself for the charging male... only to see him get attacked by the female again. He should count himself as lucky but somehow her getting in the way just annoyed him... he shouldn't let it, no doubt she saved him from a good tackling.
Somewhere behind him, somewhere in his mind he heard Vampy's voice but... it didn't matter, he was just barking orders and it didn't matter to him. He knew where the danger was coming from and keeping these two away from the weaker people that were in the group was more important.

It happened all too fast for Tykier's eye to detect. But he did sense a bit of hostility from somewhere. He watched as he finally saw her whip her tail out, and ran away. Ty's blood almost was awaken due to the fact of the iron scent from the blood. Immediately, he covered his nose with his arm, and did as Vampy told them. The man's heart was racing, and his eye was wide open, searching for the Wrath demoness that he had previously seen.
His hands were open, ready to claw someone. And he took a stance to which he learned if he was going to do melee. One foot up front, and one in the back. Both hands to the side, but still open. He knew he was open for attack, but he also knew how to handle that stance.

Everything seemed to happen far to fast for Luthor who had been looking in the other direction when Duncan slipped off to get a look at the on going battle. He looked back when he heard the roar of the female, eyes going quite wide when first blood among their group was drawn. He gave a gasping sounding as he watched the large male that came charging in toward the red skinned spawn only to be pounced by the frightening looking woman. The world seemed for a moment to go still around him, everything was drown out as his eyes got impossibly large when the female's long, vicious looking claws sank in between the plates of the male's armor and he saw blood.
"No..." He breathed, no, no... this wasn't right, how? How did he get here? Surely that mage wouldn't have let him go through the portal? Even if he had somehow slipped through how did he get ahead of them? Had to much time been wasted with them talking after they came into this realm? He gave a shake of his head, "No." He had somehow regained his big size, how did that happen? He'd canceled out that wish hadn't he? The contract was destroyed long ago but somehow he'd tapped into it again? Could that be done? Had he somehow messed up in destroying the paper? Had he messed up again when it came to his magic? He did seem rather... terrible at it.
Luthor wasn't even aware that he moving until he was racing forward, "Pepper!" He cried out, lost lost in his panic that he seemed to completely miss out on the differences between the male that was being attacked by the wrath demoness and his friend. He wasn't even thinking about what he would do when he would get to them, all he knew was that he had to save his friend from her no matter what, no matter if he got hurt, no matter if his abandoning the group pissed off Vampy. The bag gave a dull 'thud' as he dropped the bag of first aid supplies, shedding the weight so he could run forward, wings flapping rapidly as though they were trying to help him run faster toward his goal.
