He looked around the interior and narrowed his eyes. Made by human hands was written all over it.
"No demon would make such an awful machine. It would be far better."
He looked out the window looking at the people passing by with disgust then the car dipped as it dived down a ramp toward an underground building with a car park outside. The car stopped and Anusir rose out from it to see two suited men outside, arms crossed, heads glancing around.
He stared at them.
"Do I have to kill them to get inside?" He said rembering the men he threw through the glass windows at Nolishkah's building.

Nolishkah stood in front of him "Nono. No killing, it is forbidden in Hades. It is protected by my dark magicks."
she turned her head up to him and smiled "besides, this is my Club. We would get in regardless. Just try and at least pretend you're relaxed."
She turned to face the doormen and they both bowed to her.
"He's with me" she spoke to them as one of them opened the doors and she walked in.
The loud music from the dancefloor slightly muffled, she turned to her left and walked up a long corridor. There was a red door that had a sign on it VIPs Only! By Order of the Management, she pressed a security code in and opened the door, turning to wait for Anusir.

_________________

Anusir stepped in after her, the music was very odd indeed, if it could be called music. Just a driving bass drum thumping away. He followed her down the corridor and entered the room, very smart.
"Hm" He said in acceptance of the room. "This shall surfice." He said as he sat down.
"Bring me wine, so I might drink and try to ... as you said relax."

Nolishkah looked at him with bemusement, raising her eyebrow. "I shall ring through for a few bottles."
She watched him find a seat, he looked so out of place and so uncomfortable. She rang the barman and ordered 3 bottles of "her special" before walking over and sitting on a plush black leather chair.
"I take it your not exactly impressed with my establishment"

_________________

The barmen set the three bottles down and Anusir, with no sense of dignity or decore, grabbed the bottle and pulled the cork out with his teeth, swiging the wine, like a barbarian.
"Good!" He shouted after a swig. "Much better then the other stuff."
The barman placed a delecate glass down and at Nolishkah's looks he poured it into the glass, trying to fit in.
"This place is acceptable. I am still adjusting to this new world, you have grown with it, I have been reborn into it."

Erik sped at a reasonable speed towards the American base ten miles away from New York. As he did, he telephoned Samuel.
"Yes, Erik, what is it?" Samuel asked. "I hope you didn't do anything stupid." "Ummm, would you call insulting Anusir and burning down Nolishkah's building down "stupid"?" Erik in turn asked.
"Yes, those acts would be very foolish indeed. I hope you didn't...wait you did them. didn't you?"
"Yeah."
"Erik...well thank God, you are still alive. Anyways what do you need?"
"The current location of Anusir and Nolishakh."
"I can't give you that! How am I supposed to know that? Where are you anyways?"
"The American Eradicator base."
"Ok, I think they have something for you. And oh, the attendants from our armory called. They say you better not destroy that Dragon's Breath. It's their latest invention. So I will leave you to guess how mad they will be if they find it ruined."
"Right, good-bye, Samuel."
"May God be with you," Samuel ended.

Nolishkah shooed the barman away. "We are not to be disturbed" she demanded, with a nod the barman walked out and shut the door behind him.
She looked over at Anusir as he swigged down the bottle, wine pouring down his chin. "Do you have to drink it like that? We have two perfectly good glasses" her lip curling at his uncouthness.

She turned and looked out over the dancefloor. Male and female demons, half-breeds and assorted other creatures writhing and gyrating to the music blaring out the sound system. She always found them strange, but they brought her in good money. So she could look past there odd ways.

She turned back to Anusir "You will get used to it. There are many perks in this world. Only problem with it, is it's filled with human filth. We could rule over this domain. No-one could ever challenge us."

Erik reached the base in good time where two Eradicator guards admitted him into their base, which turned out to be a simple office building which inside had almost the same thing the Rome base did: barracks, armories, laboratories, shrines. As he entered, a guard intercepted him and demanded for his ID, which he gave to him. After examining it closely and looking at his face, he said, "Welcome, Mr. Igidion. Our chief is waiting for you at the armory."
The chief actually stood in front of the entrance of the armory when Erik arrived. He bowed his head and said, "Greetings, Mr. Igidion. I have something for you that you may find very interesting." He led Erik towards a table where several scientists were boiling an unknown material nearby. The chief took a flask of the unknown material and presented it proudly to Erik. "Holy oil," he prounanced as Erik took the flask and examined it. "Much like holy water but this one sticks to you and is extremely flammable. This thing can instantly produce a holy fire. " He seized the vial from Erik's hands and chucked it five yards away from anyone. The vial exploded and left a small fire on the ground. As some of the people rushed to put the fire out, the chief turned to Erik and said, "Cool, uh?"
"Is this the stuff you anoint people with?" asked Erik.
"Well, it is a refined form of that,' the chief answered. "You can take as much as you need. From what I hear you are tackling, you are going to need it."
"Thank you," Erik said. He had to; that brute of a demon is going to a hard nut to crack. "You are most generous. May I have some holy water rounds for submachine guns?"
"Holy water rounds? Sure you can have those but we managed to make holy oil rounds. Or perhaps you want both, which I can give to you."
In fifteen minutes, Erik was back on the road towads New York City, armed with this new holy oil.

Xine decided to humor the sergeant. He could always kill her later. "The Fox sent me," he said, feeling like an idiot.

A new voice came on the other end - a very different voice. "Who are you?"

"Craig Downski. I believe some... arrangements can be made."

"Indeed. Go straight down this street, and turn a left. You'll find your escort waiting for you."

Xine terminated the line. Wary, he rotated slowly in a circle. The streets were empty, yet someone was obviously monitoring him. As a precaution, he assumed invisibility as he melted into the shadows. He crept back down the street, taking a left.

Around the corner of the building, a disembodied voice spoke. "Greetings, Xinefra'av Nightslayer." His world went black.

----------------

"Demon?"

"Half-demon," Xine snarled, accepting the wine. He leaned back in his chair and regarded his 'host.' In the dim light of the nondescript room, the stranger moved with inhuman grace. For the most part he kept to the shadows, pacing around Xine, stalking him even.

"And you're after the one named... Ackerman?"

Xine pretended to toast his captor. "You're well informed."

Anusir snarled at the mention of humans.
"Scum..." he muttered, and tried to graciously slippy the wine, failing miserably, the wine droping onto the seat.
"Ruling would be a great thing to achiev, yet you say together, what makes you think I will stay allied with you after I get my medalion?"

Kira follows her sense of his presence, making her way with any type of transport she can find. She finally reached a building that looked as well gaurded as an enemy fort. "Hmmm....." Kira disappears, a small blue flame appearing in her place. The flame slips through the vents in the building, searching for the right presence.....

Nolishkah sighed and got up from her seat "Here, let me." as she took the wine bottle and poured it into Anusirs glass. She looked up at him and smiled "There are no guarantees Anusir." she chose to sit down on the sofa. "However, I do want a significant amount of power once the medallion is returned to you. What happens after that? Well...we'll just have to wait and see" she took another sip from her glass, and watched his reaction.

_________________

He turned his head to her and raised an inquisitive eyebrow. Demons only wanted power. So how could he trust her. He leant in closer, his warm breath on her neck.
"A significant amount of power may be different in your eyes to what it is in mine. So far you have shown me hospitality, for which I am greatful, but you have shown me no sign of your true alligence." his voice was a murmer, almost whisper.
"But if you please me then I shall offer you a seat of power. " He pulled his head back and turned back to his wine.

"Trust, from a Demon. Interesting concept, Anusir." Nolishkah smirked at him "But I can say the same about you. What's to say you won't turn on me the minute you recieve your medallion?"
She picked up a packet of cigarettes from the table, and lit one she took from the packet with a match. "Please you? Another interesting concept" she said as she exhaled out the smoke "I am intrigued"
