"Hello my name is Kyle and this is my comrade Chase. We are here on the notice of Mistresses Blossom and Willow. Inviting you to there court room to meet." Chase spoke next. "We are here to escort and ask that once you enter their manor to hand off all weapons as to not be a threat." Kyle spoke again. "They will be returned safely back to you after the meeting."

Chase and Kyle were wondering around untill they saw the person who fit the description they were given, and approached the gentleman. "Excuse us?" Kyle asked getting the strangers attention as Chase stood by.

A man was running frantically through the streets, pushing people out of the way as he darted into an alleyway. He stopped once he saw that it lead to a dead end, he turned on his heel, just hoping that it wasn't too late too.

"End of the line pal." A voice said from above him. The man looked up and saw Alkilai, nonchalantly sitting on the fire escape. He leaped off and landed in front of the man, blocking the only escape route. "So, are you gonna come quietly, or am I gonna have to beat you out of that lowlife you're leeching off of." He said, adjusting the metal gauntlets he wore on his arms. Suddenly, the man's entire demeanor changed, he gave Alkilai a frightening scowl as his eye turned blood red. His teeth yellowed and came to a point and his fingers elongated, ending in sharp, black claws. Alkilai let out a sigh as he rolled his eyes and annoyance. "Why am I not surprised." He groaned. He banged his fists together, mostly for intimidation, and then lowered into a fighting stance, waiting for the possessed man to strike. He let out a horrid cry and charged, bringing down his clawed hand on Alkilai. He easily evaded the strike, and blocked two more that went for his head and stomach. He retaliated with a punch to the face that caused the man to stagger, following up with a spinning back kick that sent him flying into the wall.

Alkilai approached the possessed man, his arms covered in a strange, whitish-blue energy. He grabbed the man by the throat and held him against the wall, the Holy Light flowing into him, causing him pain.

"Gahhhhhhhhhhh, you... you are...." The man said in a demonic voice before the pain was too much for him to bear. Suddenly, a river of shadowy energy escaped from the man's eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, falling to the ground and taking the shape of a demon, with pale skin and similar features to the previously possessed man. It panted as it turned to glare at Alkilai. "You... filthy angel SPAWN!" It cried before pouncing. Alkilai dropped the man and charged his right fist with Holy Light, delivering an uppercut that sent the demon into the air. Alkilai then leaped up above it and kicked it back to the ground, finishing it of with a Holy Light powered elbow drop, causing the demon to explode in a blast of dark energy, killing it. Alkilai stood back up, dusting himself off before turning his attention back to the unconscious human. Alkilai took out a mugshot from his pocket and compared it to the man's face, they were the same.

Alkilai brought the man to the police and collected the bounty, the man was a wanted criminal, typical targets for lesser demons looking to get their fix of Human Suffering. There was a whole list of outlaws he could've choose from, but somehow he always ended up picking the ones somehow involved with demons and other things that go bump in the night. Well, not somehow, he knew why, but he would rather deny it, it wasn't something he was particularly proud of. He walked down the street making his way back to his motel when he was stopped by Chase and Kyle. He listened as they explained what they wanted from him, and Alkilai couldn't help but not trust either of them.

"Really, may I ask what they want with me?" He inquired.

Chase answered. "They just want to meet new people..." He said trying to think. Kyle smiled. "They want to make friends since we had to move away from our old home." Chase listened but divided his attention to his red deck of cards, shuffling them, feeling a bit nervous. Kyle rolled his eyes at his brother getting nervous so easily, then Chase spoke. "Both of them are getting lonely, so their reaching out to people." He says not looking up from his deck of cards.

Alkilai darted his eyes between the boys' faces and the shuffling of the deck, he knew a nervous tick when he saw one. These guys were lying, that much was certain, and there were only two reasons why someone would approach him, either they knew who he was, or they knew what he was, and in the case of these two strangers, he assumed it was the latter.

"Are they now," He began. "Well, I appreciate the offer, but trust me, I'm not the kind of person a couple of rich nobles would want to associate themselves with. So either you two go and find someone else to make friends with... or you tell me what you really want from me." He said with a serious look on his face. It was such a poor lie, he couldn't help but call them out on it, if anything his interest was piqued, it was not everyday he was personally summoned after all.

Both of them gave up on lieing. "Okay one of misstresses obtained a book by someone who is now our enemy. this book is connected to a demon and has attached itself to willow turning her weak and very not like her normal self." chase said putting away his deck as kyle spoke. "We had to restrain misstress willow and her sister blossom is having a hard time because since we trapped willow the demon begun to actually hurt her." kyle said wanting to get back as soon as possible. chase spoke. "Will you please hep us?" he asked being ashamed of not being able to fix the problem themselves.

"So you guys want an exorcism?" Alkilai clarified, somewhat surprised by their sudden straightforwardness. "Well, I'm no priest, but if its evil and comes from Hell, I can probably get it out." He said, his hand glowing with Holy Light as if to prove his point. "But just a fair warning, things might get a little... rough, and I can't guarantee that your "Mistress" won't get a little banged up in the process... just saying." He warned, hoping not to sound threatening.

They nodded yes to his question and the danger of the mistress becoming hurt. "Can you come now?" kyle asked. "We left misstress blossom there and she cant endure watching her sister in pain..." chase added wanting to hurry. Kyle paled as someone released willow from her entrapment. "And I do believe misstress blossom let her out..." he said turning to run and chase did the same.

Alkilai felt a sudden chill up his spine, there was a rather large surge of demonic power in the direction of the more "privileged" part of town, the two escorts seemed to notice as well and bolted towards what he assumed was their home. Alkilai ran after them, the demonic energy becoming stronger with every step he took. They eventually stopped at one particular mansion that radiated demonic power, whatever was in there, it was strong, and it was angry.

The boys heard Misstress Blossom screaming and ran even faster taking out black decks of enchanted cards. They burst in to see the demon going on a rampage and a girl with bat wings -willow- on the floor unconsciously bleeding. An angel was being attacked viciously obviously misstress Blossom who was out of energy. Kyle ran towards Blossom and Chase toward willow, only to find a barrier around willow and cant reach her.

Alkilai was nearly speechless at the sight before him, the demon held the angel by the throat in the air, slowly choking the life out of her, while the demoness laid unconscious on the floor, bleeding out. What struck him the most as odd was how as far as he could tell, the two mistresses were identical, except for hair color and, of course, being of different biblical species.

"Huh, an Angel and a Demon living under one roof, that's a first." He said sarcastically, but with genuine surprise. He glanced over at the suffering Angel and couldn't help but put the Demoness on the top of his priority list; he rushed over to Chase and examined the barrier, touching it only to have his hand painfully bounce back. "Gah!" He groaned, shaking his hand. He then lowered into a basic stance, reared his fist back, charging it with Holy Light and letting loose a powerful punch, but all it did was make the barrier flux a little. "Damn, that thing's not coming down, looks like we'll just have to take care of the Demon first." He stated, shifting his focus to the Angel and the Demon choking her.

His right gauntlet glowed with Holy Light as Alkilai whipped his arm forward, the gauntlet shooting out towards the Demon, attached to Alkilai's arm with a glowing chain. The Demon noticed the motion, but before it could react the gauntlet grabbed it by the throat and pulled him over towards Alkilai. Once it was in range, he kicked the Demon's arm, forcing it to release the Angel, and followed through with a Holy Light powered side kick to its abdomen, sending it flying to the other side of the room. "Get her out of here, things are about to get pretty wild up in here." Alkilai told Chase as he readjusted his gauntlets for the battle.

Chase caught Blossom as she collapsed and took her away. Kyle went with him. That's when two wolves came in the room, not attacking Alkilai but the demon instead. Every now and then they would back off to regroup. They did this to see if at any point their guest was going to tell them to go away.

Alkilai put an amused smirk on his face. "Well, you guys have been holding out on me." He said to the two wolves, who he could tell were Chase and Kyle. The demon let out a roar, two balls of purple energy materializing in his hands before he threw them at his three assailants. Alkilai evaded the first one and crossed his arms to guard himself from the second one, the force of it sending him sliding back a bit but he kept on his feet. "I appreciate the help, but you should probably go look after your Angel friend, she got pretty banged up after all." he suggested, though the wolves seemed reluctant. "Don't worry, I'll get rid of this creep soon enough, you just worry about your... "mistress" or whatever you call her." The Demon unfurled its wings and propelled itself towards Alkilai with its claw coated in demonic energy ready to strike. Alkilai grabbed the claw in mid swing, and grabbed the second claw as it came around in a counter attack. "Go, now!" He instructed before kicking the Demon away from him.

The Demon regained its composure moments later and charged at Alkilai at inhuman speeds. However, Alkilai was just as quick, coating his arms and legs with Holy Light and blocking all of its attacks. The Demon's swings were wild and filled with hate, but surprisingly calculated, Alkilai found it difficult to break his onslaught. Eventually Alkilai got careless and one of his feet was swept, making him stagger enough for the Demon to smack him up into the air with its wing. It met him in the air and attempted to slash at him, but Alkilai blocked the attack and kicked off of the Demon back to the ground. Once back on his feet, he shot his gauntlet at the Demon and grabbed him by the foot, slamming him back to the ground before pulling him towards him, only to kick him to the side across the room. The Demon slammed against the wall, making some paintings fall, but it quickly got up and shook off the pain before firing more Energy Balls at Alkilai, this fight was not over yet.

The two wolves left relunctantly but did as Willow started to wake. She was horrified of what she saw and hurt all over. She was scared that Kyle and chase was just leaving her when she didnt have the strength to move. Escpecially when one, there is a stranger in the house, and two a demon no less. She continued to watch with horrified eyes.

Alkilai blocked and evaded the barrage of Energy Balls, walls, floors, and other furniture getting torn up in the process. Eventually the balls began to slow down, allowing Alkilai to advance on the Demon, inching closer to it as he blocked the projectiles. Once he was close enough, he dashed towards the Demon and landed an uppercut that sent it into the air, however, it unfurled its wings and regained its composure in the air. The Demon swooped in for a slash, but Alkilai dodged out of the way, the Demon retreating back to the air before coming back down on him again. The Demon seemed to believe it was safe in the air, or at least it had the advantage, and it seemed to be correct as Alkilai had trouble blocking and countering its aerial attacks. Alkilai cursed under his breath, he knew the Demon wouldn't be coming down, so if he wanted to kill it, he'd have to go airborne as well. The Demon stared Alkilai down, its wings glowing black, Alkilai could guess what was coming next, he had no choice but to tap deeper into his power if he wanted to defeat it. His body began to radiate with Holy Light right before the Demon released in energy in its wings in the form of a powerful just of Devil Wind. It howled as it engulfed Alkilai in its shadows, the Demon smirked, reveling in its victory, but once the darkness cleared, Alkilai was still standing, a strange barrier protecting him from the attack. The barrier unfurled, revealing that they were actually wings, made out of Holy Light. He didn't give the Demon the chance to curse at him, propelling himself into the air and towards the Demon.

He threw a punch at it, but the Demon blocked it with its claws. From there they began trading blows in the air, streaks of Light and Darkness filling the room as they zigzagged all across the room. The Demon tried to put some distance between them by throwing Energy Balls, but Alkilai blocked them with his wings, getting in close and bashing it with them, sending it crashing into the ceiling. With the Demon stunned, Alkilai grabbed it with his Gauntlet and threw him hard to the ground. Before the Demon could get to its feet, Alkilai charged his foot with a large amount of Holy Light and propelled himself down towards the Demon, hitting it with a devastating kick. There was a blast of light from the impact, the whole room seemed to shook from the sheer force of it, and once the dust settled, the Demon was on the floor, breathing shallowly, unable to even sit up. Alkilai walked up to the downed Demon and stomped on its head before kneeling down to face it.

"Alright hell spawn, let's talk." Alkilai said, about to interrogate the Demon.

"I have nothing to say to you, servant of the heavens." It said in a low, demonic voice.

"Hey, I may beat you guys down, but it's far from in the name of the Heavens." Alkilai stated.

"Ah yes, of course, after all you are an embarrassment to them, a freak of nature that never should've existed in the first place." It was just trying to egg him on, Alkilai knew that, but it still didn't make him any less pissed off. He put more pressure on his foot.

"Cut the crap, just what are you anyway, and who sent you?" He demanded threateningly.

"Do what you will to me, but know that there are others who wish for those girls' heads on a platter. They will never be safe." Alkilai knew he wouldn't talk, there was no use in trying, so he stood backup, charged his foot with Holy Light, and stomped on the Demon's head full force, crushing it. Once it was dead the rest of the body dissipated into black smoke, he looked over at the Demoness on the floor and saw the barrier break as well, she was free. Alkilai walked over to the girl and kneeled down to check her status, she was still breathing, despite all the blood she lost. He looked towards Kyle and Chase, standing at the doorway. "She's alright, she's just unconscious." He assured.

They hurried in along with blossom. Blossom worried about her sister more than anything else as she rushed to kneel next to her. Kyle and chase smiled. Kyle spoke running a hand through his hair. "Ya sorry about not telling you about us being werewolves..." Chase spoke next. "But thank you." Kyle kneels on the other side of willow before picking her up gently. Blossom finally noticed Alkilai. "Thank you so much sir. I am Mistress Blossom."

Things were just getting stranger and stranger by the minute, the Angel seemed genuinely concerned for the Demon's well being, which as far as he knew would never happen in a million years, EVER. And to top it all off, this "Mistress Blossom" was actually thanking him, most angels regarded him with contempt, at least the few that he had the displeasure of meeting, so being shown gratitude by one was so out there that he couldn't help but suspect she was just messing with him.

"Uh, yeah, don't mention it." he replied awkwardly. He looked passed Blossom over to the Demon, who was still unconscious in Kyle's arms. "So, you said that book did this to her?" He inquired.

Blossom smiled sadly. "She always loved to read. Little did she expect that a book can be a link and she is a vessel to connect the two. She didnt mean any harm." Kyle waked off with willow in his arms taking her to her room and chase started to pace as he spoke. "Yes but who knows that she loves to read but hates us enough to try and harm Misstress Willow?..." He says as he continues to pace. Blossom shrugs. "Nobody comes to mind..."

"Well, whoever they are, there's more where that came from." Alkilai said, looking at the ground where the Demon was killed, it still radiated demonic energy. "That Demon said that there were others, plural, that want you two dead, and honestly I don't find it surprising. An Angel and a Demon, living together, caring about each other, and somehow being sisters on top of all that, hell you two are probably hated by both sides of the fence, I'm surprised there isn't an army at your door yet." He stated his basic theory. "So "Mistress", what's the deal here, what exactly are you?" he questioned, looking at the Angel sternly in the eyes.
