Ayami grunted as she now picked herself off the floor. Whatever these things were they packed a hell of a wallop. "The hell are these things!"
"They arent from hell that's for sure," Rexis snarled.
The imp and succubus now began to backtrack, nursing their wounds as they stared down the remaining three Voids in front of them. The two demons had effectively taken down two of their five attackers but discovered something in their battles.
Ayami had tried to steal the life force of the creatures, quickly discovering they had life force to steal. When that plan had failed Rexie attempted to bite the creatures. That too led to an interesting discovery. Rexie had spit the chunk of meat she had torn from the creature to the floor. The creatures taste, as the imp described, was rotten, spoiled, causing the imp to actually gag. Unable to use their power the demons had resorted to their physical strength.
The brawl that had ensued between the demons and Voids was a brutal and bloody affair. The Voids were almost as strong as the demons and just as durable. Only by crushing or decapitating the head had the two demons stopped two of their number.
While they had been successful Ayami and Rexie hadnt come out of this unscathed. Ayami's wing had been snapped, while Rexie had lost several of her needle like teeth as well as a wing. Both demons now winced as they clutched large gashes on their bodies.
"Not how I thought we'd go out," Rexie chuckled. "Any idea what happens when we die?"
"We're not dead yet," Ayami snarled. "Now shut up and fight." Ayami now launched herself at one of the Voids, fangs and claws bared.
The Voids couldn't speak but howled as they once more attacked. Vicious blows between them now ensued, Bones snapped, flesh tore as the demons and Voids brutalized eachother. Ayami jammed her claws into the eye socket of one of the Voids, tearing gaping in wounds in the creatures face. Rexie now assisted the succubus, sinking her fangs into the Voids throat and tearing away a sizable chunk of meat. As Rexie gagged on the spoiled meat, the Void gurgled out a death rattle as it collapsed to the floor.
The Voids watched their comrade fall roaring in anger as they turned towards the demonic pair.
Ayami screamed as one of the Voids grabbed her hand, crushing the bones to dust before throwing her through a wall.
"Ayami," Rexie yelled. Rexie turned to attack, only to have the Void seize her by the wings, tearing them off before throwing the wingless imp on top of Ayami.
Ayami hissed, barely conscious as she glared at the Voids. Death seemed certain now. What would become of them when they died? What would become of Zack and Mia? These thoughts now raced through her head as the Voids moved in for the kill.
Death would not come to the demons this day. Ayami watched now as the Voids shuddered. The creatures appeared to be withering now, their muscles shriveling as they appeared to almost age centuries in seconds. With one final moan the Voids crumbled to dust before the demons eyes.
Ayami now pushed the imp to the side to see who their savior was. Seeing Ann and Jackie step into view, she wondered now if death would have been preferable.
