A dive bar would be a compliment to the establishment the bounty hunter, Sly, currently found himself wasting away in. The building was old, dilapidated, and just plain rough looking. The patrons of the bar weren’t in much better shape either. A person of sound morals or sobriety couldn’t be seen anywhere within. It was littered with thieves, thugs, and other low life’s, all of whom just wanted to get wasted like Sly.
The furry raccoon could be seen standing on a table in the corner of the bar. He was drunkenly sharing war stories to anyone who could listen. Obviously the stories were embellished as he stumbled to and fro along the large bar table.
“So there I was, about one thousand soldiers and just me by myself. The odds were overwhelming, but for a legendary bounty hunter like me, I knew it was a task I could complete.”
He continued to drunkenly burp and slur his speech,
“ I pulled out every conceivable instrument of death and went to work. When all was said and done, I could be seen standing blood soaked. The lone survivor of the ordeal.”
The few drunks who entertained his drunken tale all snorted in disbelief. Sly had a reputation of being strong , but taking over a thousand warriors seemed a bit of a stretch. It didn’t matter to the raccoon whether they believed him or not though. He just continued his tall tales.

The demon had found herself on several different planets, and eating establishments, in the past few weeks in the mortal realm. She was eager to try some more food, booze, and maybe even get a massage on Lute’s credit card. Something about enjoying herself on someone else’s tab made the girl feel excited. Perhaps she felt she were living on the edge?
She weren’t in the mood for food today though, she had caught word of a certain magical tome that would increase her abilities significantly. Also, it would be valued in at a pretty penny. She was only seeking intel today, scouting around local area in order to pinpoint her target. The demon was disguised of course, anyone with horns and a forked tail would stand out amongst the mortals.
“Hm.” Kuueru mumbled to herself, her dull eyes scanning over the outside of a bar. It seemed quant, but rather quiet inside. It was soon revealed that everyone in the bar was enamored by a furry rodent thing that stood on a table in the corner of the room.
The demoness squinted her eyes at the scene while entering the bar. In her disguise she appear nothing more than an Earthling with peachy skin and bright pink hair. She awkwardly stood around the crowd, listening in on the war stories that the furry man spoke. Judging by the slur in his voice he had been enjoying himself already.
The woman stare at the racoon with an intense expression. Perhaps a person with such experience and knowledge of adventuring could aid her? She waited for him to finish his story before pulling him aside.
“E-Excuse me, do you have a moment?”

Is drunken stupor was paused for a moment as he looked down from the bar table. His eyes set upon a fair skinned earthling, who seemed to want his attention for an unknown reason. Of course she did, at least Sly thought to himself. Who wouldn't want to speak with the most interesting bounty hunter in this galaxy and beyond. The furry raccoon stumbled down to the floor and looked the earthling in the eyes. His eyes squinted as he looked deeper into her's, something just seemed off. "Your hiding something?" He couldn't quit put a finger on it, but someone of her appearance generally didn't just wonder into a dive bar such as this. He shrugged his small furry shoulders and figured he would realize what was going on in due time. "Never mind that, you said you needed a moment of my time? Want to hear some more stories of my grand adventures perhaps? Or do you need me to complete some job or ya? Either way, I am all ears for the moment." A belch escaped his lungs as he lazily reached over and grabbed a large bottle of clear liquor. As he began to down the entire bottle he motioned with his paw for the earthling to state her business.

Kuueru really couldn’t figure out how she was in this type of place, however she ignored the fact for now. The demon was here specifically for the furry man, she had heard a bit of his work and hoped to employ him for a sort of---joint project. Her treasure was local, and mystical. She was unsure if the guy knew much about that sort of thing, but she could always use the extra protection or hand carrying things.
Immediately the raccoon accused her of hiding something. True enough, Kuueru wasn’t the best liar despite being a demon. Her face melted into disappointment as he continued thinking she wanted to hear more of his grand stories--he was no fool though. He knew she had a job for him.
The furry thing belched before draining an entire bottle of what she only prayed was water. He didn’t look like he had the same volume of blood in his veins as the amount he just inhaled. She rubbed a few fingers against her temple as she sought relief from a mild headache.
He motioned her closer, now was the time to state her request. She only hoped he knew the area or could help her not get the soul sucked out of her by the ghouls that protect the place.
“Well mister, you see through me well. I am looking for a thing, may be dangerous. Liked to have an extra hand. Don’t worry, I can wire you the Zeni now if want.” The demon pulled out a small mobile phone and pointed to it casually.
“It’s magic, just so you know. Some people don’t like to mess with that.” Kuueru was unsure of some people’s taboo towards the art of mysticism. She was always open to it, and eager to learn. Hence her coming after this treasure today.
“It’s a book, hidden in an old tomb a short whiles away. But I hear it's guarded by spirits. If you believe in that sort of thing.”

The bottle that was turned up over the small raccoon finally emptied itself into his gullet and he slammed it down on the table, a loud thud could be heard. His furry face cocked to face the earthling looking creature and a small smile crept across his snout. "Well, if it can prove to help financially than you can count me all in. Magic and spirits don't bother me none anyway." He reached behind his back and pulled out what appeared to be a crudely home made rifle of some sort. Sly gently patted the gun with one hand as he held it in the other. The gun was about the same size of the small raccoon and looked as if it could explode at any second, given all the sorts of lights flashing on odd sounds emitting from it. "She looks ugly, but this will help get the job done. Never met anything that could take more than a couple blasts to the face by this bad boy. Spirits have faces right?" The raccoon laughed slightly as his own comment as he made a motion with his hand to the nearest bartender. Showing that he frequents this establishment way too often, the bartender instantly responded by handing him several bottles of liquor. "This is for the road, in case we get thirsty." A drunken hiccup escaped his snout as he began to lead the way out of the filthy bar, gun in hand. WC: 244 Queen Kuueru |

Kuueru was impressed with how much alcohol this furry dude could ingest. Just thinking of what he was feeling right now made the demon’s stomach turn. She waited for him to finish his drink before he loudly slammed it upon the table top. He seemed to be intrigued by the promise of payment, and indeed she did intend to pay him handsomely…with Lute’s funds that is.
He motioned towards the bartender and managed to get a few bottles for the ‘road’. Was he not drunk enough already?
Sly motioned to the gun upon his back. She showed it to her, the array of lights and sounds it produced seemed volatile. The ‘Earthling’ leaned forward and inspected it closely, there didn’t seem to be anything magical to it—simply a creation of a mind, perhaps a drunken one at that.
“Ahh, we get thirsty? Or you get thirsty?” Kuueru joked, a small chuckled playing on her lips as they pair excited the grimy bar. Outside they would be traveling for at least a few miles via flight or foot, luckily it wasn’t a horrible trek. There was apparently a hidden cavern and tomb that she alluded to being protected by wayward spirits.
“I’m Kuueru by the way, pleasure.” She already knew his name however. Due to her search for help she attempted to find a reputable mercenary. Sly was where she ended up.
“We are heading a bit East from here, a few miles or so. Try not to drink all your booze between now and then, k?”

He laughed slightly at the girl’s attempt at humor. Well he wasn’t sure if it was a talent for humor or just keen observation skills when it came to his character. Because in all reality all of the alcohol was for gonna be for him. “Yeah I guess yah are right there. It’s in case I get thirsty. If we’re being honest though. I’m always thirsty.” The furry raccoon continued to slightly chuckle to himself as his associate introduced herself. “That’s a cool name. If ya didn’t know , I’m Sly. You say it’s just a couple miles or so East ? I guess we could just start flying that direction and look for anything that sticks out.” The raccoon took off in flight east bound. As he raced throughout the sky he looked back towards Kuueru. “Since we may be risking our lives together by fighting some magic spirits and stuff. Tell me about yourself? What makes oll Kuueru click, why such an interest in the strange magic stuff.” Queen Kuueru |

“Yeah, I don’t drink much anyway, so nothing lost nothing gained.” The demon hissed, listening to the small man as he complimented her name. She chuckled, most people had enough trouble pronouncing her name...let alone think it is ‘cool’. Kuueru felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment.
“Sly, yes! I know who you are. Thanks again for helping me out with this. I really don’t want to get eaten by a ghost myself.” She jested, she at least hoped there were no spirits capable of ingesting people there.
Soon, Sly went into the air. It wouldn’t take them long to get their by flight, but he still inquired about the girl and her interested in magical things. She searched her head for an answer while she caught up to him mid-flight.
“I’m Kuueru, simple girl really. I like food and luxury, but the magic.” She paused, her head turning to look at Sly for emphasis. “It’s like having access to world bending abilities. Things that aren’t possible on this plain are possible through the mystics.”
Kuueru explained her reasoning. “This particular tomb has magic related to a more demonic side of things. Hence why it’s so fucking hard to get to without getting killed.”
The girl mumbled, waving a hand. She didn’t get into the details of why she needed something demonic, but offered a solution.
“I work for a magician who uses the things, in turn I get to learn a bit of magic from him. He’s not the type to go adventuring.”
Soon they were outside of the cavern. It seemed to go down for a bit, but the temperature of the air dropped suddenly.

He listened quietly as the pair quickly made their approach to a deep cavern. He nodded every now and then to assure his ally he was listened as he softly landed on the ground just outside the cave. Once on the ground he looked over towards the Kuueru and chuckled. "Well you certainly are not like most of the inhabitants on The Badlands. It's a good thing though, two drunks would surely fail at this task. That reminds me, probably time for some more courage." He reached within his bag and pulled out one of the large bottles of liquor, and downed it within an instant. He let out a breath two psyche himself up and began to walking within the opening of the cave. "This looks like the right place, let's hope." With a heavy thud, Sly fell backwards and landed on his backside. His paw quickly went the his snout, which was bleeding lightly. His gaze shifted over to Kuueru, "Yeah this has got to be the right place alright. I just walked face first into some type of force field. Anything you could do about this? Or should I just try to blow it up?" He rose to his feet and began to brandish his large crudely made rifle just in case it was needed. WC: 219 Queen Kuueru |

It wasn’t long before the pair stood outside of the menacing entrance of the tomb. Various crucifixes and momentos littered the outside of the opening of the rocky construct. It looked as if the building had been around for a while, perhaps even forgotten as other parts advanced into the future. The smell inside the cave was musty, leaving a scent that would bother anyone for an extended amount of time.
“Courage? Really?” Kuueru chuckled and admired the furry creature as he yet again downed a bottle of liquor that challenged his own size. If any other being were to attempt such a thing they would likely be in a hospital. The woman stood there for a moment wondering where all the liquid went, and how often that Sly actually had to pee.
The mercenary was the first to begin exploring the cave but suddenly was brought to a halt. It looked as if he ran into a wall, only the shimmer of light reflecting off where he made contact. He fell to ground with a thud, his nose now bloody from the force of the impact. She leaned down, examining the man as she tried to gather what happened. SLy was quick to comment, notating that it appeared to be a forcefield. He then inquired if there was much she could do to open it.
“Um, I suppose I could try and dispel it if it is magic, if not we can just blow it up right?” Kuueru chuckled, waving her hands as she began to conjure a spell of dispel. As she waved her hand the barrier shattered like glass and fluttered into nothingness. This left them the room to proceed down the dark corridor.
Kuueru conjured her energy, forming a small torch out of her aura to guide them into the unknown. As she began on she held a hand in front of her body to check for anymore of the annoying barriers that Sly discovered. Slowly, they began to descend, the darkness soon engulfing them all if not for the help of Kuueru’s lamp.
The deeper you descended, the colder it became. The sounds of whispers would occasionally catch anyone off guard. Kuueru was used to such things, the world of the spirits. But Sly, she wondered if it bothered him? He said he was fine with the realm of magic and weird things however.
“So, hopefully this place doesn’t have a bunch of tunnels to get lost into, but--what I am looking for will be pretty obvious. A tomb filled with gold and old treasures, but---also my book. I don’t want the bad conscious of stealing their wealth after death, but..if you want to help yourself. Please, go ahead.”

Thankfully he managed to team up with someone useful for once, the raccoon thought to himself. The fact he didn't need to do all of the work was a definite plus. He honestly didn't know if he had to if he would be able to deal with the pesty force fields and all of the accompanying junk the comes with stealing from spirits. As they explored deeper into the cavern he looked to the various rooms, all of which were filled with some sort of treasure. His eyes lit up as bright as possible as he responded to his ally. "Oh, I have no moral dilemma about taking these spirits stuff. I mean they can only manage to whisper, can't be all that bad." As they continued to wonder down the cavern Sly put his paws on the next thing of perceived worth he saw. A golden goblet that sat in a rather peculiar spot. The instant his flesh touched the goblet you could hear all of the spirits loudly groan and moan, shaking the entire cavern. This was followed by what only could be described as something extremely large barreling through the cavern towards them. His face looked over to Kuueru. "Well this does not sound very good."

Kuueru wasn’t much of a team player to be honest. Since meeting Lute however, she had managed to meet and work with more people than she could have ever imagined. She had met Lute of the Demon Clan, Hachi the magician, Emperor Polaris, and even someone like herself who was half Shinjin. She shook her head, even thinking about being borne of the fruit of the gods was nauseating to her demon half. It was as if the woman were constantly in an inner conflict with herself.
“Ahh, have at it then. I’m just here for one small thing.” She spoke as she guided them down the dark cavern. She waved her hand around thoroughly to make sure there were no critters lurking ready to strike. Finally they had reached a room that seemed of promise. Sly had his tiny paws wrapped around a goblet of sorts. It shimmered in the light of her energy sphere, all of the other gold in the room becoming more pronounced as she entered.
“Whoa, what a nice place. Wonder why no one has scavenge----” Just then Sly spoke her next thought. Whatever was hurling down the cave towards them was rather huge by the sounds of it. She braced herself, watching as bits of rubble and dust began to fall from the stalactites overhead.
“It didn’t like that you touched it’s doohickey.” Kuueru mumbled and shot the man an annoyed glance. Now that he had touched something filled with bad energy, their enemy arrives. A snake head pushed its way through the entrance of the room. Slithering around before noticing the pair. A few heavy footsteps followed, and the rest of the beast emerged.
A chimera with heads of a serpent, lion and dragon. Each head let out a call of anger before the massive beast made its way into the room.
“W-What, really? I’ve always wanted to see one of these in person.” Kuueru’s eyes marveled at the beast, taking it it’s oddities with glee. The snake lifted its neck and slipped a sister tongue from its mouth. Kuueru turned to Sly with a grin and motioned towards the creature.
“Looks like I do have a job for you after all grabby paws.” She took a few steps back and ultimately ended a few meters behind Sly. She had perfectly placed him between her and the unwelcomed enemy. The chimera lunged forward, swiping a heavily clawed claw at the furry man.Sly WC: 424// 2,037

The creature finally made it’s way to the duo. Now, Sly had seen several strange creatures and entities in his day, but nothing like the sight before him now. It was an absolute massive beast, with three heads. A snake, a lion, and dragon, Sly’s mind was just baffled as he tried to picture the beast going throughout it’s day. He wondered if they thought collectively or as three separate beings? His day dreaming would be cut short as his ally made it clear that it was going to be up to him to handle the beast. In all fairness, it is why she likely had him tag along. The raccoon mumbled to himself, “This will make a great story next time I am completely trashed at the bar.” He snorted at his own humor as he began to draw his large crude firearm. It could still be heard audible humming as colors of random energy poured out of it. The beast responded with the apparent threat with a rather violent show of force. It began slashing towards the raccoon and gnashing it’s teeth. Fortunately, with a little duck here an dash there, Sly was able to remain unharmed. “Guns charged, find somewhere to take cover, it’s about to be a bloodbath.” A massive ray of energy shot out from the muzzle of the gun and raced towards the beast. The blast quickly collided with the creatures chest, causing it to exploded into a million pieces. A plopping noise could be heard through the cavern as it’s body parts began to fall down from the explosion. “Well, I guess we should keep going huh ? Let’s find that book and some not cursed treasure for me” Queen Kuueru |

The beast before them drooled from the mouth and soaked the dirt below. It wavered but had no issues lunging towards the raccoon with a vicious swipe. Sly stood enamored by the creature, never seeing such a thin based on his facial expressions. Kuueru stood back, her arms folded over her chest as she watched the way the man reacted towards the attack.
“Story eh? I’m glad you are more interested in your stories than the beast that is about to hit you.” Kuueru sighed, almost like an older sister who was annoyed with her younger brother. However, she definitely wasn’t related to the mercenary.
He pulled out his firearm from earlier, the weird sounds and lights that it gave off made the demon quite uneasy. He weaved beneath the strikes of the beast and fired off a massive ray of energy straight into the beat’s chest. Chunks of meat and blood showered the area. Kuueru coughed, sprinkles of the crimson blood paining her face and clothes.
“Keep going… yeah.” She wiped her face which looked terribly gruesome at this point. She walked from the room, delving further into the hellish maze this place had proved to be. However, Sly seemed to be more than capable of handling himself against the foes. She narrowed her eyes and tried to get a sense for his energy, however the weird gun was distracting to her senses.
“It shouldn’t be much longer honestly. I didn’t think this place ran this deep.” She had resumed using the bright energy lamp from earlier as they entered the wet sounding tunnels. However, soon there was an ending. A simple rock wall with no other paths to take.
The demon ran her fingertips along the cold wall, feeling a bit of magical energy disturbing their minds. It was an illusion, and a powerful one at that. While they had weak Chimeras, which could easily hurt weaker warriors, whatever lurked beyond this wall was of great power and mysticism.
“Damn, one second.” Kuueru pulled a small book from her pocket and flipped through the pages intently. There it was! The spell for breaking down greater illusions. Hopefully it would work, and she could pronounce the incantations right to pull it off.
After a moment of some foreign tongue coming from her mouth, she waved a mystical hand as the rock wall seemed to fall apart chunk by chunk.

Sly had been accustomed to seeing some strange sights throughout his life. A career as a intergalactic mercenary provided him with the opportunity to the strange. However, his exposure to magic was extremely limited. Majority of his encounters could be dealt with sheet force, but here it seemed other avenues needed to be traveled to get to this book Kuueru was so found of. He watched in awe as she managed to have a giant brick wall collapse on itself without any explosions or force. "Pretty cool this magic stuff huh? I'd love to be able to just make stuff move with my mind and stuff. But, I'll just stick to stealing and shooting I suppose." He stepped forward into the opening, now being in the deepest part of the cavern. The room suddenly dropped in temperature drastically. The raccoon could be seen visibly shivering, even though he had a layer of fur. His breath could be seen as he went deeper within the dark unknown. Sly was not the type for fear, but he certainly had more of an uneasy feeling about his current predicament. Howling could be heard it sounded far off, but somehow it still felt as if the creatures responsible for the noise were still well within reached. The raccoon pulled into his pocket and pulled out a small orb. He threw it off a few feet in front of the duo and it suddenly burst with light. The whole cavern was now illuminated. Thankfully, it was empty of enemies for the moment, but a type of podium could be seen near the end. A top of it was a book with some odd and ancient looking depictions around it. His gaze shifted back to Kuueru, "This what you looking for?" TWC: 1,878 Queen Kuueru |

The small man seemed to be intrigued by the use of her simple magic. Kuueru wasn’t some great magician with reality bending skills, but in her long life she was able to pick up some useful skills here and there. Some of these basic dispels she found in a book just like the one she was after. Except this tomb had something greater, something that the magician Hachi could use to enhance her power thrice. Her skin tingled with excitement as the thought of it being in her hands became closer and closer to a reality.
“Yeah, I can’t do much beyond these basic spells here and there, and hell. That’s only because I’m old as dirt.” She let the sentence slip, on the outside she didn’t look a day passed twenty five. She would imagine it sounded quite odd so she followed up with a saving grace, “I turned twenty a few years back, since then nothing seems to be the same! Guess that’s why my mother always complains.”
Another lie, Kuueru had no parents. Like an orphan, she was thrown out when she was but just a fruit of the gods. Sent to the demon realm to fester in turmoil for eternity.
They stepped into the large room, the chilly air unfazing the cold blooded demoness. She looked towards Sly with a grin. She noted the fog of breath that seemed to appear before his muzzle. It was cold, but--why?
“Based on how it feels…” Kuueru commented, there was a chaotic and truly evil aura rippling off the book across the room. Every bit of this looked like it was a trap. She shook her head to regain her focus before taking a few steps across the room. As she did, the sounds from earlier bellowed loudly. It seemed to be trying to scare them away from their attempts to pillage the tomb.
“You there, you are not worthy to stake a claim of this tome. Leave now, or be cursed for a millenia.” An odd wailing voice permeated the air. The voice sounded like the combination of a chorus of voices, all the more eerie.
“I don’t care who you are. I am taking this. Come stop me, if you dare.”
Luckily, thanks to Sly the room was now well lit. Anything that was coming their way would surely be seen. However, a tingle ran up her spine. She paused and turned around to see a figure clad from head to toe in black. He was more of a silhouette than anything. In an explosive blast he knocked the demon across the room, her body slamming into a wall opposite of her.
“G---Guh.” Kuueru stumbled to her feet before wiping the debris and dirt from her tunics.

A quizzical expression could be seen on the face of the raccoon as he looked at Kuueru. The old comment seemed strange to him, and the awkward backpedal even more so. He wanted to dive deeper into her background and see exactly what her story was. Cause to be honest, she did not look like the type to be hunting ancient magic artifacts in a haunted cavern in the middle of The Badlands. Hey appearance just seemed a little to innocent for that at the moment. Unfortunately, it seemed he would have to wait to find out the truth about his ally as an unknown presence made way on to the scene. His gaze shifted over to a shadowy figure. An odd sensation crawled up the spine as Sly, as he sized the unknown creature up. The being was definitely in the room with the two of them, but somehow still felt far away. Well that was until Kuueru got slapped across the cavern floor, only to be stopped by a hard rock wall. "Well, looks like my turn is up again. Don't worry I got thi....." A massive blast was sent from the shadowy figure and sent Sly skipping across the hard ground like a pebble across a lake. Using his momentum he was able to slid back to his feet and pull his iconic gun out and take aim. "You stupid son of a bitch. Who do you think you are hitting me? You must have a death wish. Stupid %$%^&%$W. $@$%%^% %$$@$%" The raccoon's foul mouthed rant continued for several more moments. Eventually it subsided and he sent a violent blast of his own with the home made gun back at the figure. Queen KuueruWC: 285 TWC: 2,163 |

Kuueru managed to pull herself from the dust with ease, this wouldn’t be the first time and probably not the last that she was caught off guard. She turned to try and get a look at what hurt her, however it had already moved onto its furry looking prey. Once again, Sly pulled his trust firearm out and began to fire off at the silhouette wildly.
The figure seemed to move between his blasts with ease. Kuueru could sense a very magical influence upon their power. It wasn’t the same as someone who worked and trained to increase their power with hard work and effort. Still, it could prove deadly against them yet.
The demon chewed on her lips as she quietly tried to roll a plan through her head in the short amount of time she had to prepare. Even now, if the raccoons gun was missing, she knew it may be up to her magic or speed to get them out alive. As much as she wanted to sneak in, have the merc do the dirty work, and escape once more...that didn’t seem to be the case with this creature.
Kuueru would have to subdue it’s magical powers, and Sly power through with raw strength. Maybe then the pair would be able to defeat their enemy and escape with as much gold, or … books as they could carry out. Kuueru grinned, clenching a fist that began to glow with a mystical purple energy. If she managed to land a hit on the foe, his magical abilities would be sapped for a few seconds at least. Then Sly could make his own moves.
“Sly, I am going to try and calm it down for a bit. You fire a round off then okay!?” Kuueru asked, but quickly jumped with a speed that was mind-boggling. Cocking back the fist that she prepared earlier she sent a flurry of punches at the enemy. He dodge them, all except one. The last colliding with his chest and knocking the figure to the ground with a thud. She stumbled to stand up but seemed like a bad VHS with the tape messed up.
He made no sounds of struggle, only his body moved with frustration panging it’s body language. Now was the time to act.

All Sly could think to himself at the moment was, Thank God he had someone with him who understood the complexities of magic. If he was by himself and had to fight this creature, he would be up a creek without a paddle. This was the first time he crossed someone able to evade his attacks with such ease. A frustrating thing to have to witness. Thankfully, it seemed Kuueru had a quick developing plan, he simply nodded to indicate he understood. He watched as his ally laid out a offensive assault against the shadowy figure. He readied himself to come in at the perfect moment to claim victory for the two of them. The moment came as Kuueru landed a punch the sent the creature to the floor. The gun in his hands hummed louder as it began to charge up for another powerful blast. The blast was released from the muzzle of the firearm before the creature could regain it's composure. The attack made direct contact, a scream came from the creature but instead of sounded like one wounded warrior it sounded like thousands. The shadowy figured head tilted up and its mouth opened slightly. Suddenly several white figures could be seen spitting outside of the creatures mouth. Eventually this spectacle ceased and the shadow creature fell down, disappearing as it made contact with the floor. Sly looked over to Kuueru and shrugged his shoulders, "That was weird."

Her plan seemed to succeeded. Once she punched the enemy he seemed to be stunned. Floundering on the ground made him an easy target for Sly. He carefully waited and then snuck in with a last minute victory for the pair. Kuueru was elated.
Sly fired off a charged round from his ray gun, as soon as the blast made contact with the black figure, his body seemed to react in pure agony. The scream that emitted from his mouth was deafening. It would definitely take a few moments for her ears to stop ringing.
The demoness dug at her ear with a finger as she tried to soothe the pain, meanwhile Sly seemed to comment on the ‘weird’ happenings of the evening. She simply nodded and agreed before making her way back to the podium with what she came for. She took the dusty book into her hands and turned to face her comrade.
“Yeah, this is what I came for. I figure you can grab anything you want and we can get outta here. I need a drink at this point.” A sigh pressed from her lips as she began to walk back towards the entranced of the cavern. She of course, allowed the man time to gather anything he wanted. It seemed that after defeating the silhouette of the man there wasn’t much spooky happening around the cave. It just seemed old and abandoned, not haunted. However, there was a horrible energy rippling from the book Kuueru had taken.
“Well, shit. That wasn’t...so bad…”
